Stroll on State returns for third year

City Beat

SUPPORT THE 1% (sales tax)

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

A year of preparation, over a thousand volunteers, miles of garland and lights, and one big celebration. Rockford is ready for the third annual Stroll on State this Saturday.

Over 100,000 people are expected to descend on downtown for this year’s festivities, now expanded to multiple locations across downtown and featuring a new stage setup, fireworks show and main tree lighting location, now right on the corner of State and Wyman.

Twoadditionaltreeswillbelitsimultaneouslyatthe VeteransMemorial Hall and Eddie Green Park, which Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau CEO John Groh hopes will alleviate some of the pressure that having one central location of events has put on the State Street bridge the past two years.

And Santa will be taking kids’ wishlists at two locations: on Water Street at the Riverview Ice House, and inside Stewart Square at the corner of State and Main.

“Having two distinct yet similar family fun zones was an important element to the planning process this year,” said Groh in a release.

Trinity Lutheran Church, 200 N. First St., will host two performances of Handel’s Messiah, Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.

The River Lights show along the banks of the Rock River will debut following the tree lighting around 7 p.m.

“Imagine a laser light show, choreographed to music, that is set against the backdrop of the riverfront and our downtown cityscape,” said Groh.

“River Lights will take your breath away.”

And a new Outdoor Holiday Market will take up place in the lot south of the Veterans Memorial Hall at the corner of Main and Mulberry. The market will host 18 vendors offering holiday items, food and drink.

The Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau has rolled out a new smartphone app, “Plan Your Stroll,” to help visitors find and tag the events they want to take part in.

The city’s lots and decks will be open with a $5 fee for parking. There are also three park-and-ride locations: the YMCA lot at 200 Y Blvd.; Heartland Community Church, 1280 S. Alpine Road; and Illinois Bank and Trust, 4048 E. State St. “Stroll on State is about coming together as a community to celebrate the season and to celebrate Rockford,” said Groh. “Stroll has quickly become a community tradition that our citizens love and look forward to.”

Visitors can find more information about this year’s downtown celebration and download the app at strollonstate.com.

Measure that’s raised $124 million for repairs goes back on the ballot in 2016

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

T

he 1 percent sales tax for the City of Rockford is set to hit the ballot again in 2016–supporters hope for the primary election and not buried down the line during November’s general affair.

Here are some facts on the tax you can see for yourself around town: •As of the 2015 fiscal year, $124 million has been generated by the tax and kept in the city.

•Over 120 miles of roadways have been resurfaced in Rockford thanks to those funds.

•More than 30 of those miles are main arterial roads, cutting down on travel time across town.

•Around your neighborhoods, 245 alleys and more than 2,800 manholes have been repaired and reinforced.

•Key roadways like Spring Brook; Alpine on both ends of Rockford; Auburn Street; downtown’s State Street (and various cross streets); and the Jefferson Street bridge have seen massive improvements in the last year, all while many IDOT projects across the state have been put on hold.

“This tax forged new ground in the Rockford region,” City Engineer Matt Vitner told the Times. “Previously, the city bonded and took on debt service year-after-year where the debt service lasted longer than the investment.

Bad business.”

The tax failed the first time out as critics told the voters that people would simply leave Rockford to do their shopping. Thankfully, at the second crack that sort of scare-tactic was overwhelmed, and now we have a self-funded and debt-free program rebuilding Rockford’s streets and sidewalks.

“The temperature of the voters now is that renewal is almost a no-brainer,” said Vitner.

“Especially when we started that commercial retail resurfacing program around East State – around the industrial parks and along Riverside – people started to see because they’re driving on that every day. They say, ‘Look, Rockford’s starting to take care of itself.’

“The tide is rising all across the city now that you see this influx in meaningful public investment.”

The improvements downtown the city hopes will pay dividends. Fix a sidewalk here,

resurface a parking lot there, get more people down here spending money and get more money back into fixing even more infrastructure via the sales tax.

“We want to have marketable imagery, we want people to make memories in Rockford,” Vitner said.

“Our partners – Peter Provenzano and their boutique hotel, Justin Fern and Urban Equity Properties – because of the public investment, storefronts are filling in, because people see a change in the culture.”

“Stuff like hotels or new residential, those are static in terms of bringing people downtown,” said Mayor Larry Morrissey.

“Add those to the sports center, the businesses already here and the ones that are coming and we’ve built a good base.”

“That’s what our sales tax money was able to do for us,” added Vitner. “Where bond money was just spent in neighborhoods where people going to work every day couldn’t see it, unless you were lucky enough to see it. Now everybody can see it.”

The city’s efforts have paid off, as IDOT has taken notice and fronted $100 million for the work on South and North Main Street. Being able to complete projects on state highways (like the Jeff Street bridge) go a long way to showing the state Rockford is working to put itself back on the national map for business and tourism.

The payoff from the tax keeps construction work moving forward across town, pumping money back into the local economy via jobs and support services.

So sure, taxes are a tough sell in any economic climate, but keeping the 1 percent sales tax in the city should be a no-brainer.

Especially when you consider the other option relies heavily on waiting to get our tax money back from Springfield, and we’ve seen how well that can work out. n Speaking of Springfield, the mayor had some harsh words for state leaders who still can’t come to a budget agreement, now nearly

six months overdue.

“To me, it’s just a sad state of affairs,” Morrissey said, “pun intended.”

The mayor says it’s absurd that funding packages for the state are being subjected to a litmus test of sorts, as Gov. Bruce Rauner continues to hold up key spending bills as he tries to push his “Turnaround Agenda” through.

“It’s completely irresponsible,” said the mayor. “That balanced budget amendment to the state constitution apparently has no meaning. Just get in a room already and work it out.”

The mayor is a supporter of parts of Rauner’s foundation agenda, but he says that those plans are far from unique for the first-term governor and shouldn’t be used to hold the residents of Illinois economically hostage.

“These aren’t new things. These aren’t new ideas. What’s new is shutting it all down because they can’t work it out. Every one of them down there is to blame.” n It’s time to get one little rumor that keeps kicking around town straight: the one where Gorman is only going to build the hotel if South New Towne is completed.

If you’ve been following the dialogue of the much-maligned proposed housing project – the one that will, depending on who you ask, either destabilize the far East State Street district or send the entire region into an unrecoverable tailspin – you’ve come across some version of this. All of them are wrong.

So here’s what you need to know the next time you hear some grand Gorman conspiracy: New Towne has nothing to do with the downtown hotel project. Gorman was contacted independently about the abandoned Amerock building by the Friends of Ziock group.

Let’s repeat that: Gorman was contacted independently about the abandoned Amerock building by the Friends of Ziock group, this after the county board chairman’s downtown revitalization plan went up in smoke and long before New Towne became part of the greater public conscience.

Muddying the waters around New Towne has worked as a handy tool for some who are simply politicking around it, but it’s time for this tired line to be put to bed.

‘The tide is rising all across the city now that you see this influx in meaningful public investment.’

IN COLD BLOOD Chicago police release video of cop shooting teenager 16 times in 15 seconds

By Aviva Shen ThinkProgress.org

After a prolonged legal battle, Chicago police released a video of one of their officers, Jason Van Dyke, shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times Wednesday.

The video shows McDonald carrying a small knife, walking away from Van Dyke before the officer opens fire. The entire shooting took about 15 seconds, and McDonald was lying on the ground for 13 of them.

Van Dyke was finally charged with first degree murder more than a year after the shooting. Though State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez has had the video for a year, the charges came days after a judge ordered the police to release the damning footage.

City leaders quickly started scrambling to do damage control ahead of the release, realizing the video’s contents would inflame longstanding rage against Chicago PD’s rampant abuses.

Chicago police killed more people than any other comparably sized police departments from 2010 to 2014.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) prefaced the release with a lengthy press conference urging people to stay calm.

“I believe this is a moment that can build bridges of understanding rather than become a barrier of misunderstanding,” he said, while Superintendent Garry McCarthy said he understood people “had a right to be angry.”

An attorney for McDonald’s family said in April that the video “starts out as an unjustified shooting, and it turns into some kind of sadistic execution.”

Chicago police fought hard to keep the dash cam video secret. A $5 million settlement with

McDonald’s family was intended to bury the video.

A manager at a Burger King near the shooting also told reporters in May that the police had deleted more than an hour of footage from his surveillance cameras.

The freelance reporter who filed the FOIA request ultimately resulting in the release of the video was barred from Tuesday’s press conference.

“The worst part about being barred from the press conference that my lawsuit precipitated,” tweeted Brandon Smith, “is that I can’t ask Rahm questions about it.”

Another journalist in attendance put Smith’s question to the mayor and superintendent.

Shifting storyline

Initial reports of McDonald’s death taken from statements by CPD painted a far different picture of the teenager’s final moments.

Police claimed that two squad cars attempted to pin McDonald against a chain link fence on the 4100 block of South Pulaski Road.

Officers claimed that McDonald approached them with a knife and damaged a police vehicle before they opened fire.

But the video released Tuesday shows Van Dyke firing on McDonald from a lane of traffic away, emptying his entire clip and firing into McDonald’s upper torso and head more than ten seconds after a first shot left him prone on the ground.

Many police officers involved in high profile killings would likely have never faced charges without video evidence.

Video footage often directly contradicts the official police reports and can back up witnesses

who might otherwise be dismissed or intimidated into silence. In fact, Van Dyke already had a litany of accusations against him before he met McDonald, yet was never disciplined until now.

As part of the national push for criminal justice reform, lawmakers from local city council members to President Obama have called for more cameras on cops to hold them accountable. Police departments have received millions of dollars to purchase these cameras.

McCarthy claimed before Tuesday that release of the McDonald video would hamper and delay ongoing police investigations into the incident, but admitted at the press conference that no ongoing CPD investigation into McDonald’s death was underway.

But the battle over the Laquan footage shows why police-controlled footage is far from a cure-all.

Many states are fighting to keep the footage shielded from public records requests, effectively allowing police departments to decide what to release and what to withhold. Cops have also been caught tampering with the footage or turning the cameras off when they start to get violent.

The city has been roiling with anticipation of the video’s release, and protests began filling the streets Tuesday night as Mayor Emanuel attended the lighting of a Christmas tree at Millennium Park.

New stewards for Rockford Dance Company

By Anne E. O’Keefe

O

Rockford Area Arts Council

ver 40 years ago a group of dedicated moms, led by Carolyn Bailey, approached Jayne Poor, professor of dance at Rockford College, with the idea of performance opportunities for young dancers beyond the classroom and recitals. She and longtime friend, dancer and choreographer, Chuck Hoenes accepted the challenge.

The Rockford Dance Company brought Artistic Director, Wayland Anderson in July of 2014 and now there is a full complement of leadership as Emily Cooke has come on board as Executive Director.

Emily Cooke considers herself a Rockford native, having moved her in 1993. She attended Weber State University in Utah and Western Illinois University on a dance and choreography

scholarship. This provided her with the opportunity to gain backstage experience such as costume design and production management while continuing to study, teach and Cooke perform ballet, modern and other styles of dance.

Cooke received a Bachelor of Business in Marketing Management and an MBA with a concentration in Marketing and International Business. Cooke has spent many years working for Fortune 100 companies which means she comes with a strong business background.

“I am most excited about being able to make a difference. I studied at RDC so to me it feels like

coming home. I have a love for the fine arts as well as business. This position provides me with the opportunity to tap into my passion for both, Cooke said.”

Cooke will be taking the stage in the upcoming collaborative performances of The Nutcracker presented by the Rockford Dance Company and the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. This is a rare occasion as Cooke has not been on stage in over 10 years and she is thrilled to have the opportunity.

“There is something magical about performing especially the tradition of The Nutcracker,” Cooke said.

When I asked Cooke what about her past work experience most ignites her passion for the work that is ahead of her she said, “If I make a difference in one family’s life at Rockford Dance Company it will be unbelievably rewarding.

Every time I look into a studio and see the dedication that the students and parents display it

makes me want to work that much harder.”

For the past three years, RAAC has had the privilege to work with the RDC’s team including Meghan Baylor and Wayland Anderson. In the recent production of Dracula, ArtsPlace apprentices from last summer were invited to join the production, a turning point for those young dancers.

The Nutcracker will be performed Saturday, December 5 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, December 6 at 3 p.m. at the Coronado Performing Arts Center. Tickets available at CPAC Box Office and through Ticketmaster. Check out the rest of RDC’s exciting season, The Ugly Duckling, February 27, 2016 at The Nordlof Center; Cleopatra, March 25 and 26, 2016 at Maddox Theatre; Director’s Choice on May 20 and 21, 2016 at The Nordlof Center and RDC School Recital, May 22, 2016 at Maddox Theatre.

Tube Talk

British import tackles tough Monday night slot Great Holiday Baking Show gives ABC sweet primetime swagger

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

T

he Great British Bake Off was a huge hit in the United Kingdom before PBS finally began airing past seasons here in the US, redubbed as The Great British Baking Show.

I have no clue why they changed the title, but after seeing just one episode of it last winter I was hooked. As a fairly skilled home baker, I love watching contestants face difficult baking challenges. I enjoy it even more when someone fails at something I know how to do, which admittedly doesn’t happen all too often. It’s rare that I don’t learn something new in each episode.

Baking is a precise science, but it’s also an art.

That’s where the fun comes in. There’s always a risk in trying new twists on classic recipes, and the contestants have to up their games to stand out from the pack. Slight shifts in proven recipes can either elevate the baked goods or ruin them entirely. The Star Baker one week might be on the bottom of the heap the next, and someone who nearly went home one week might be Star Baker the next.

While the most recent season to air here in the US ended a couple weeks ago, fans like me can still get a baking fix during ABC’s four-ep-

isode special, The Great Holiday Baking Show, which is based on The Great British Bake Off. The first episode airs Monday.

Although produced in the US, one of the British judges—baking expert Mary Berry— will be stateside to share judging duties with James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini. Instead of being hosted by comediennes Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, the US holiday edition will be hosted by actress Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and her husband, actor Ian Gomez (Cougar Town).

Like the original series, in each episode bakers will face three challenges: the Signature Bake (their own recipe), the Technical Challenge (a surprise recipe that may or may not be entirely complete), and the Showstopper Bake (an elaborate example of baking precision, decoration, and flavor).

I don’t know how well this incarnation will compare to the original. Since ABC needs to fit in time for commercials we may miss tense moments of bakers wondering if their dough has proofed enough or if their chocolate has been properly tempered.

I’m sure there will be some changes to the format, but it’s always inspiring to see talented bakers pushing each other to excel. And what baker wouldn’t love to have Mary Berry bite into one of their baked goods and declare it “Scrummy”? (Which seems to be her term for something both scrumptious and yummy.)

Programming note

The Great Holiday Baking Show airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on ABC. Find Paula on Twitter: @P_Hendrickson.

Cinema

A dark and spectacular finish

By Thomas Simpson

W Contributor

hen The Hunger Games burst into cinema in 2012 it was dismissed by the harshest critics as Battle Royale for the Twilight generation.

While the comparisons to Kinji Fukasaku’s last film were valid, this wasn’t a watered down dystopia for the tween generation, instead this was a series that would evolve into a nightmarish vision of a world with themes that were only too relatable.

As is the norm these days for adaptations of a successful book series, the final chapter had been split into two with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 providing the long awaited conclusion to the struggles of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and her war against the tyrannical President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

The previous installment ended on a shocking cliff-hanger surely to leave audiences not familiar with the source material astonished. Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), best friend and potential lover to Katniss, has been brainwashed by the capitol to murder her and squash the rebellion.

Tormented by her emotions, Katniss finds herself struggling to break free from being used as puppet by both sides as she embarks on her quest to kill Snow and end this fight for good.

The series perhaps doesn’t get enough credit for its dark undertones and cynical outlook. The final installment peels back any layers of hope and

presents a hellish landscape where combat is second place to propaganda. Whereas lives are lost on the battlefield, it is the images that are beamed into homes that will decide the outcome of this turmoil.

It all sounds awfully familiar and poignant.

Peter Craig and Danny Strong aren’t shy or subtle with the metaphors in the script, amplifying the existing themes from Suzanne Collins’

novel. The audience isn’t treated like idiots, this is a clever and thought provoking story that doesn’t pull any punches.

Whereas Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows benefited from being told in two parts, Mockingjay – Part 2 suffers the same issues as Part 1 as events are stretched out to fulfill a running time. The action is spectacular with

director Francis Lawrence refusing to shield the younger cinema goers from the true horrors of war in this cruel future. Despite the important subject matter the film drags more often than not as our heroes sit around conversing with little being said. The love triangle between Katniss, Peeta and Gale (Liam Hemsworth), although important to the series as a whole, never feels significant as the outcome seems inevitable.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 can boast of a brilliant cast and they don’t disappoint.

Although the love triangle didn’t do it for me, the chemistry between Lawrence, Hutcherson and Hemsworth is evident in their performances if not the script. Sutherland is a brilliant villain with Julianne Moore’s President Coin showing that there is little difference between those in charge on both sides of the divide.

The film is flawed by a monetary decision to split it into two however there is enough suspense and drama on offer to keep fans happy.

The third act might appear anti-climactic at first but there’s a few twists left towards the end to pull it back and justify one of the more important plot points happening off screen. It may be bleak and grim but it’s a fitting ending to a story that has more in common with The Running Man than it does Twilight. It could’ve done without the last scene but it won’t be enough to ruin a satisfactory albeit bitter sweet conclusion.

WNIJ Three Minute Fiction 89.5 WNIJ recently invited listeners to participate in Three-Minute Fiction, a “very short story” contest inspired by an NPR series of the same name. GK Wuori, a DeKalb native, Pushcart Prize-winning author and Illinois Arts Council Fellow, wrote the story prompt and selected five winners and five honorable mention commendations.

The prompt was: “I’m a curious person. No, I’m a nosey person. No, I’m a snoop, and it’s finally gotten me into trouble.”

Author Mary Ann Presman took fourth place in the Three-Minute Fiction competition with “Yard Work”.

“Yard Work”

by Mary Ann Presman

I’m a fella who likes a nice lawn. I spend a lot of time mowing and clipping and bagging and blowing; fertilizing and watering and transplanting.

It’s kept me out of trouble in my retirement years.

After I finish whatever yard work I’ve assigned myself for the day, I like to sit on the little wrought

iron settee we have out in front of the house, pop open a Miller Lite and admire my handiwork.

It’s also a good vantage point from which to keep an eye on the neighborhood. You’d be surprised at what goes on in this seemingly tranquil subdivision. The wife and I have a house smack in the middle of a cul-de-sac on a slight rise which enables me to monitor most of the houses on a couple of streets without even getting up off my settee.

I’ve had to call the cops a time or two when the house on the corner across the street had lots of unusual activity—cars coming and going at all hours of the day and night. Turned out my suspicions were confirmed. A nice little drug business was being conducted over there and soon enough the people who lived there were foreclosed on and had to move out. Good riddance.

The lady who moved in appears to be a single mom. There are a couple of young kids, but no man of the house that I have noticed. The lady of the house does her own yard work, and while she doesn’t devote nearly the time and energy to it that I do, she does alright. And she’s easy on the eyes to watch, quite the dish. I’m guessing she’s probably trying to get a tan at the same time she mows the lawn and that’s why she wears a kinda skimpy swimsuit—a bikini, really. She must be a nurse or something because she doesn’t work Monday thru Friday; Tuesday and Wednesday are her days off and she usually mows her lawn on Tuesday afternoon, unless it rains. Then it’s Wednesday. Her lawn mowing usually coincides with my settee-sitting time. And, up til now, Tuesday afternoon has been when my wife was off playing bridge.

But last week when it appeared that our new neighbor lady’s lawnmower had broken down, I went over to see if I could help. I’m pretty good at fixing things.

Brenda—that’s her name—was very appreciative. Turned out she hadn’t been mixing the proper ratio of oil to gas, so it was a simple thing to correct and I was soon back on my settee. As a gesture of gratitude, after she finished mowing her lawn, she came across the street with a couple of cold ones—Stellas, mind you. “Thank you so much for helping me out. Mind if I join you?” So there we were, getting acquainted all neighborly like—her in her bikini and me in my Bears cap, when the wife pulled in the driveway right alongside the settee.

Next thing I know, my wife signs us up for a Civil War class that meets on Tuesday afternoons over at the Center for Learning in Retirement.

Busted.

Rockford Rocked Interviews

Catching up with Floyd Murphy Jr

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Rockford Rocked Interview: I’m told that you have been playing music most of your life and are currently the drummer for the popular Rockford band Big Daddy Woo Woo. I’m also told that you play a mean guitar as well. Tell us how you got involved in the blues and what made you want to play in the first place.

Floyd Murphy Jr.: I’m currently playing drums with Big Daddy Woo Woo and also in a killer blues band called Souls of 5 which also includes members of BDWW. There was always music being played at home growing up. My father was a musician and always had band rehearsal at our house. There always seemed to be a guitar or two lying around. My dad bought me my first drum set when I was 8 years old.

RRI: Your father (guitarist) Floyd Murphy knew and performed with many of Memphis’ greats including James Cotton, Junior Parker, Rufus Thomas, Bobby Blue Bland, and many others. He must have been a huge influence on you growing up. Thoughts?

FMJ: Yeah, my dad was a huge influence on me wanting to play music. They would always set their stuff up in the living room and jam.

Those were great times.

RRI: Your dad recorded at the famous SUN Studios in Memphis Tn. I hear there is a cool “vibe” about the place and some say you can even feel the history. Have you ever been there?

FMJ: Yes, I stopped by there many times when I toured with my Uncle Matt’s band. Cool place for sure.

RRI: Many folks might know your Uncle Matt “Guitar” Murphy from the movie The Blues Brothers but like your father he had been doing session work for years. In a previous conversa-

tion you told me that you had the opportunity to tour with Matt. Tell us about some of your favorite touring memories and favorite cities to visit.

FMJ: I toured and recorded with my Uncle Matt playing drums from 1985 to 2003. He took me to Europe, Japan and South America.

He also got me the gig with the Blues Brothers Band. That was a lot of fun playing the Blue Note circuit in Japan. The band members at that time included Steve Cropper, Lou Marini and Leon Pandaruis from the Saturday Night Live Band.

I’m also featured on three of his albums and cowrote some of the songs.

RRI: I’m going to say a word or phrase and you reply with the first thing that pops into your head. Ready?

RRI: Big Cities Lounge (former Rockford club.

FMJ: Great place.

RRI: Sam Lay (Famous blues session/touring drummer.

FMJ: Totally awesome drummer. Legend.

RRI: Buddy Guy’s Legends (Blues Club Chicago).

FMJ: Played there all the time. One time Buddy came up and jammed with Matt and I. Dan Aykroyd would also jam with us when we played House of Blues in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

RRI: Cort Guitars.

FMJ: Matt used to endorse their guitars.

RRI: John Belush.

FMJ: I never met him but I’ve heard nothing but great things.

RRI: What’s next for Floyd Murphy Jr.?

FMJ: I’m currently in the studio working on my new CD entitled My Father. I am playing all the instruments and producing it myself. I’m just about ready for the vocalists to come in and lay down their tracks. This will be my first solo recording.

The psychological benefits of our Thanksgiving rituals

When Americans gather together around a table groaning with favorite dishes on the fourth Thursday of November, what are we doing beyond filling our bellies with turkey and pie? We convened four experts in the psychology of family traditions and shared meals for a roundtable discussion about what ritual means in the context of Thanksgiving.

Anne Fishel, psychologist and author of Home for Dinner: I think of Thanksgiving as the mother of all family dinners. As a ritual, it has all the important ingredients – a prescribed time and place; aspects that are predictable and repeated year after year (signature foods) and some that are novel (guests added and departed, new family stories and arguments); and meaning conveyed through symbols. Each year, families come together to revisit something familiar but keep adding new layers of meaning, so that the ritual is reinterpreted.

Janine Roberts, family therapist and author of Rituals for Our Times: I think another reason rituals are so powerful is because they’re active and have many sensory elements to them – smelling foods, seeing the lit candles, hearing the rhythm of words as thanks are given.

Barbara Fiese, psychologist and author of Family Routines and Rituals: Another key ingredient is great expectations. Because Thanksgiving is repeated every year, there’s a buildup to the day – making sure everyone is included, dishes assigned, and lots and lots of planning around food. Expectations are sometimes a double-edged sword. You expect the turkey to taste fantastic; sometimes it does… and sometimes it’s on the dry side. You expect guests and relatives to be warm and inviting; sometimes they are… and sometimes they aren’t. Emotional connections keep this ritual going – along with some pretty good food.

Bill Doherty, researcher and family therapist: I’d

add that Thanksgiving has an element that makes for longstanding family traditions: an intergenerational ritual that we remember from childhood and gradually assume more responsibility for over the life cycle. There are also poignant times when the chief architect of the Thanksgiving ritual grows older and has to pass the mantle to the next generation, sometimes not willingly.

What is the value of these kinds of traditions and rituals? What do we get out of participating, in terms of our health?

Barbara: Our group has conducted research on how routines and rituals are related to both physical and mental health. Through direct observation of family mealtimes at home, we’ve found that how families communicate with one another during meals is related to the children’s health. For example, when families show genuine concern about their child’s daily activities – such as asking about their day or following up on how a test went in school – teachers report these children are less likely to show acting-out behaviors in school.

What’s more, these interactions make children with chronic health conditions such as asthma feel more secure, and they’re more likely to report that they feel better throughout the day.

These are just correlational studies – we can’t say that positive communication causes better health outcomes. But we do think that repeating these positive behaviors – attending to emotions during meals, recognizing other’s concerns, demonstrating you truly care about what’s happening in each other’s lives – over time provides a supportive emotional climate for healthy development.

For rituals such as Thanksgiving, these emotional connections come to represent what it means to be a member of a particular family. We’ve also found in our research that when parents have more positive memories of family rituals from when they

were growing up, they also tend to interact more positively with their children, which in turn leads to better mental health for the kids. It’s hard to escape the intergenerational pattern of these rituals.

Anne: There’s another intergenerational aspect of Thanksgiving – joining a Thanksgiving meal makes us feel we’re part of something bigger than ourselves when we connect to our extended family and to the generations that preceded us. Often, this larger family is represented by stories told about the food or about family members. Kids who know their family’s stories grow up to be more resilient – better able to withstand the slings and arrows of everyday life. And adults who get to share their stories feel valued.

Bill: The classic outcomes of regular rituals for families are coherence (a sense of identity) and connection (a sense of closeness). Beyond the good health outcomes of positive family interaction during family dinner rituals, in a new study, my colleagues and I have found that barriers to good interaction – such as cellphone use, people getting up from the table and arguments – were even more strongly related (in a negative direction) to children’s psychological well-being and academic performance. The implication is that we have to pay attention to doing some things well during meals – such as staying at the table and laughing together – but also avoid negative interactions.

Barbara: How true, Bill. We recently used an experimental approach to document how disruptions can really mess up the power of good positive mealtime interactions. We have a research home here at the University of Illinois, complete with dining area, kitchen and living room. We brought 60 families into the home (one family at a time, of course) and exposed half of them to a very loud vacuum cleaner for the first 10 to 15 minutes of a meal. People exposed to this racket got up from the table more often, engaged in less positive communication and ate more unhealthy foods (Oreos) than those who were not exposed to the loud noise. We think this is an analog of all the intrusions you often see at meal gatherings – the cellphones, tablets and televisions that disrupt the positive benefits of sharing meals together.

Bill: Great to see experimental research in this area, Barbara! On the positive side of the equation, we found something intriguing in a survey of 1,000 children ages eight to 18. Participating in cleanup after the meal was right up there with more traditional correlates of children’s well-being outcomes, such as having a good conversation and laughing together. Active participation is good for family rituals, as opposed to the consumer approach where someone puts on Thanksgiving for everyone else to enjoy.

Anne: Another study found elementary school kids who made lunch were much more likely to eat it. One of the great features of Thanksgiving is that it usually pulls in many cooks to the kitchen. Guests often come bearing a homemade pie or cranberry

sauce. I wish that this spirit of sharing the work of dinner could carry to everyday family dinners.

Barbara: And let’s not forget that Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for expressing gratitude about health, family and personal circumstances.

Psychologists are finding that simply enumerating the things you’re grateful for can give you a greater sense of well-being. Family researchers have recently turned their attention to the role that forgiveness may play in marital satisfaction and health. Forgiveness is a complex process that requires genuine interpersonal change. If we take time to pause at this time of the year to let go of petty transgressions and/or annoyances in relationships, perhaps this will allow greater perspective about the gratitude we can feel for what we have.

Janine: Being attentive to all the different ages of people who are there at Thanksgiving is central to making sure giving thanks is part of the gathering. How can elders connect with children and vice versa in meaningful ways? One family wrote simple thanks cards (the youngest members drew) highlighting things they were thankful for over the past year and then shared them as a way to focus dinnertime talk on gratitude and appreciation. And some families choose to serve food at a community Thanksgiving for the homeless or do other types of service to connect with those who don’t have access to the same level of resources.

What is participation in these rituals like for people who don’t fit the Normal Rockwell painting version?

Janine: The media and people selling things push expectations by featuring, for example, photos of the “perfect” family – usually a white, heterosexual couple, two children, and the dog and cat – with huge smiles sitting down to a delicious Thanksgiving meal. This sends difficult messages to families that are actually the majority: single-parent or remarried; Latino, black, Native American and Asian families; bicultural and biracial families; gay, lesbian or transgender; or families who have recently experienced a death or other major loss.

Barbara: Janine, you raise some really good points. These rituals are times of remembrance.

When we tell the same stories over and over again, often we’re remembering people who are no longer there, even as we miss the laughter and joke-telling of those who are gone. It’s also a way to share across generations so the younger family members can learn about older folks that they may have never met. Often these are stories that are told about ritual gatherings like Thanksgiving.

Anne: In my work with The Family Dinner Project, we try to push back on visions of family dinner that are constraining. Instead of invoking the bygone 1950s era of women doing all the cooking, we emphasize the importance of sharing the workload. And rather than focus on trying to cook a perfect, gourmet meal, we concentrate on what happens at the table in terms of having fun

The Rock River Times | November 25-December 1, 2015 | and interesting conversation.

Our current national moment is characterized by more “nontraditional” families and more of us separated by distance from those we care about. How does a somewhat old-fashioned harvest holiday maintain its value on the annual calendar?

Barbara: A marker of successful rituals is that they also change with the times. As we bring new members into the fold, we make room for new traditions. We can redefine “family” so neighbors, newcomers to the community and international visitors can have a place at the table. These are times to learn about other traditions – expand our group and hopefully expand our world.

Anne: I agree that change is a vital characteristic of vibrant rituals. You also made me think about ways the larger cultural observance of Thanksgiving has changed – in particular the advent of Friendsgiving, a more casual get-together before or after Thanksgiving that highlights the importance of friends.

Bill: The hallmark of successful rituals over time is a combination of predictability and flexibility. You can change the people, for example, but keep the turkey! Sometimes when a family has gone through a major loss, they may decide to try something very different the next Thanksgiving. After the death of the mother in a family with young children, the father and children decided to travel and be in a different part of the country with family friends the first Thanksgiving after their loss. Families need cultural permission to emphasize stability of rituals when they need that, and innovation when they need something different.

Janine: Well-said, Bill. I’ve worked with a number of families over the decades who, to honor changing values and dietary needs, have made vegetarian dishes the heart of the meal. After all, the “Turkey Day” tradition is “thanks to an aggressive marketing campaign on the part of the poultry industry.” Create what works for you and leave behind what doesn’t. And we shouldn’t forget that holidays and rituals can be very different in different communities – some Native Americans, for example, mark Thanksgiving as a National Day of Mourning.

Anne: It’s that balance of sameness and change that makes this ritual so important. Adults need rituals as much as kids do because they help us step back from the everyday hubbub and feel connected to something bigger and something evolving.

Annual holidays remind us of the continuity of family life, linking us to the generations who preceded us and to earlier times in our own family when we celebrated this same holiday. Against the predictable canvas of the turkey and mashed potatoes, we’re also reminded that our family keeps changing. A grandfather’s death leaves an empty chair. A cousin is expecting her first child. An adult child has gone to spend the holiday with his girlfriend’s family. I think it’s important to embrace change by adding some new elements: you might invite someone new or add a different twist to your mother’s stuffing, or play a new game. The balance of familiarity and novelty keeps holidays feeling meaningful. Maintaining our connections year after year gives an anchor.

State Budget Crisis

THANKS FOR NOTHING Editor’s note: The following is a timeline from Kerry Knodle, Exec.

Director and CEO of CCS YouthBuild, concerning the lack of funding to our local facility because of the Illinois budget impasse. We are publishing this one organization’s shortfall to highlight the shortfalls suffered everywhere in Illinois as winter offers “Ho, Ho, Ho.” While making many “nice-guy” holiday appearances, unlike most of us, Gov. Bruce Rauner really stands as a rigid millionaire who doesn’t have to worry about funding for his personal interests and daily necessities. His nemesis, Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan obviously stands just as rigid, but Madigan has the interests of the people at heart, not the interests of what appears to be an ever-increasingly heartless elite.

The new unyielding philosophy of much of the 1 percent empties more than debate, it defeats compromise – which is “more” than 99 percent of the basis of our system of government. In this uncivil war, the “more” is the spirit of caring exemplified by: “government of the people, by the

people, for the people” which may “perish for the earth” in this Land of Lincoln. Autocratically bypassing the perishing people in so many, many programs throughout Illinois, and in the case of CCS YouthBuild’s ironic suffering, is preventing a weatherization program for the poor.

Now our Illinois winter begins to get as cold as what seems to be the temperature of certain souls in Springfield, Illinois. Many organizations in the area and across the state could provide a timeline very similar to the following for CCS YouthBuild.

We lack thankfulness for our state government as the holiday for thankfulness approaches because a “turkey” can gobble and get fat on what others need to survive and “really” serve. Since the state spirit of this holiday already falls like turkey bones in the garbage, call the governor’s office and ask for a real present a reformed, tight-wad Scrooge would praise for Christmas – a functioning state budget. Santa Rauner, we present this facetious “gift list” of just one Tiny Tim we know:

Summary of interruptions in grant activities June 22, 2015: Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) notified Residential Weather Program (RWP) grantees that we were to cease all obligations, costs and spending for the Residential Weatherization Grant #15-143001.

As a result, Comprehensive Community Solutions laid off four full-time employees, and cancelled contracts with three local subcontractors. Health insurance for the laid off employees was continued at the company’s expense for 2 weeks. [Note: upon the date of July 1st (cease operations), CCS had approximately $187,000 in funds from DCEO that had been advanced previously available to continue operations.]

September 1, 2015: DCEO notified CCS that, based on having state funds on hand, we were authorized to expend those funds until the grant agreement expired. By September 15, CCS had recalled workers, reauthorized contracts and resumed work. [Note: A budget modification request had been submitted in April 2015 to reallocate funds within the grant budget, but had not been acted on by the UWI Board due to lack of a quorum.] As of October 15, CCS was still working to reinstate employee health care with our provider for those with coverage.

September 16, 2015: Received the following notification from DCEO: “I am emailing in regards to modification for the FY 15 grant. By now, you should have received information

indicating that CCS will be allowed to spend remaining on hand funds. At this time, if your organization needs to do a modification of any kind in order to adjust to the on hand funds to complete the program, please submit a modification for the UWI Board to review no later than Monday, September 21, 2015, by 10 a.m.”

[Note: This was a repeated submission of the budget modification which had been requested months earlier but never approved.]

September 28, 2015: Received written correspondence from DCEO: “Please be advised that the Modification provided by your Organization was presented to the UWI Board of Directors for consideration on September 25, 2015.

“The UWI Board has considered the modification request and has voted to approve your request. It is expected that your organization continue to operate in accordance with the requirements stipulated in your executed Grant Agreement.”

October 13, 2015: Received the following notification from DCEO: “It has come to my attention that the modifications that were approved during the board meeting that was held on Friday September 25, 2015 at 10:00 A.M, have to be put on hold immediately. Any budget adjustments and or change to the Scope of Work must be suspended immediately.

All grantees are required now to resume activities based on your prior Scope of Work and or budget as

previously approved. So to be sure this is clear, effective immediately any changes to your program based on the modifications that were approved during the board meeting Friday September 25, 2015, must cease and you are required until further notice to resume spending activities and scope of work changes to reflect your prior budget and or scope of work prior to the board meeting”. n n n

Based upon this, DCEO was informed on October 15 that, unless the budget modification that had been approved by the lawfully-appointed board was honored, CCS would – once again – be forced to lay off employees (4 full time) and cease grant operations effective 10-30-15. For the second time in more than three months, these employees, contractors, and their families are being subjected to financial and personal hardship for no good reason.

As of October 30, CCS has issued layoff notices to 3 full time employees, suspended all work by 3 subcontractors, and ceased all work on this program due to no response from DCEO. With funds on hand to do this work, and provide low-income residents with energy-efficient upgrades to their homes prior to heating season, this is a clear abuse of administrative authority coupled with lack of legislative action to resolve the budget impasse.

Commentary

Ahead of Paris, a moral case on climate change

By Lawrence Torcello

Rochester Institute of Technology

M

uch of the general public is well aware of scientists’ recommendations on climate change. In particular, climate scientists and other academics say society needs to keep global temperatures to no more than two degrees Celsius below preindustrial levels to avoid the most dangerous effects of climate change.

But now more academics are weighing in on climate change: philosophers, ethicists, and social scientists among others.

More than 2,100 academics, and counting, from over 80 nations and a diversity of disciplines have endorsed a moral and political statement addressed to global leaders ahead of December’s UN climate conference in Paris.

A few of the more widely recognizable signatories include philosopher and linguist Noam Chomsky (MIT); cognitive scientist Stephan Lewandowsky (University of Bristol); climate scientist Michael E Mann (PSU); writer and environmentalist Bill McKibben (Middlebury College); historian of science Naomi Oreskes (Harvard); and moral philosopher Peter Singer (Princeton).

As one of the philosophers responsible for this open letter, along with my colleague Keith Horton (University of Wollongong, Australia), I wish to explain why we felt compelled to organize it and why the endorsement of many influential philosophers is important.

In addition to Chomsky and Singer, the list of prominent philosophers who have converged from various philosophical backgrounds and points of disagreement to endorse

this letter include many of the most influential figures in contemporary moral and political philosophy.

Thinking about the real world

While it may be popular among certain politicians to malign academics as removed from the “real world,” the fact remains that academics by virtue of training and professional necessity are driven to distinguish valid argument and sound evidence from fallacy.

We are bound to reference current research, and to examine our data before making claims if we hope to be taken seriously by our peers. We have a pedagogical obligation to instill these same practices in our students. We also have a moral obligation to prepare them for responsible citizenship and careers.

Global warming is the most important moral issue of our time, and arguably the greatest existential threat that human beings, as a whole, have faced. So the response to climate change from philosophers should be no surprise.

Those most responsible for climate

change are relatively few compared to the vast numbers of people who will be harmfully affected. Indeed, climate change will, in one way or another, impact all life on Earth.

If we fail to decisively address the problem now, warming may escalate in a relatively short time beyond the point which human beings can reasonably be expected to cope, given the nature of reinforcing feedback effects.

The moral implications are enormous, and this letter represents the closest we have to a consensus statement from the world’s preeminent professional ethicists on some of the moral obligations industrial nations, and their leaders, have to global communities, future generations, and fellow species. The letter begins: “Some issues are of such ethical magnitude that being on the correct side of history becomes a signifier of moral character for generations to come. Global warming is such an issue. Indigenous peoples and the developing world are least responsible for climate change, least able to adapt to it, and most vulnerable to its impacts. As the United Nations Climate Conference in Paris approach-

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

es, the leaders of the industrialized world shoulder a grave responsibility for the consequences of our current and past carbon emissions.”

Importantly, the letter points out that even if current nonbinding pledges being offered by world leaders ahead of the conference are achieved, we remain on course to reach potentially catastrophic levels of warming by the end of this century. The letter continues: “This is profoundly shocking, given that any sacrifice involved in making those reductions is far overshadowed by the catastrophes we are likely to face if we do not: more extinctions of species and loss of ecosystems; increasing vulnerability to storm surges; more heatwaves; more intense precipitation; more climate related deaths and disease; more climate refugees; slower poverty reduction; less food security; and more conflicts worsened by these factors. Given such high stakes, our leaders ought to be mustering planet-wide mobilization, at all societal levels, to limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degree Celsius.”

It is increasingly obvious as we

head to Paris that both industrialized and developing nations must make serious efforts to limit their greenhouse gas emissions beyond their current pledges. This is a requirement of physics.

It is unrealistic to expect most developing nations to meaningfully limit greenhouse gas emissions without binding pledges from industrialized nations to do so, as well as significant commitments to provide financial and technological assistance to poorer nations facing developmental challenges. This is a practical necessity and a requirement of ethics.

Ethical thinking

At its most fundamental level, thinking ethically means taking the interests of others seriously enough to recognize when our actions and omissions must be justified to them.

As individuals, our instincts too often drive us toward self-interest.

Consequently, acting ethically beyond the circle of our immediate relations – that is, those we perceive most capable of reciprocating both harms and benefits – is difficult.

Still, the history of our species teaches that humanity as a whole benefits most when we are able to put narrow self-interest aside, and make an ethical turn in our thinking and behavior.

Now, faced with climate change the next great ethical turn in our thinking and behavior can’t come soon enough. We will make progress in addressing climate change when, and if, we begin taking the lessons of morality seriously.

Waging peace in the face of terror

By Nancy Churchill Contributor

V

iolence begets violence.

Violence is easy. It is borne of hate and fear. Terrorists win when their strikes succeed in spreading more violence.

Peace is hard. It takes courage and resolve, wisdom and understanding.

We succumbed to fear after 9/11.

Little did George W. Bush realize, when he stood beneath the “Mission Accomplished” banner aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, that it was Osama bin Laden’s mission that had been accomplished.

Bin Laden bragged (Al-Jazeera broadcast, 10/29/04) that the continuing guerrilla warfare against the U.S. was intended to “[bleed] America to the

point of bankruptcy” as al Quieda had “bled Russia for 10 years” in Afghanistan, “until it went bankrupt and was forced to withdraw in defeat.”

The fear bin Laden fomented with his attacks provoked Bush’s invasion that, under false pretenses, destroyed Iraq, justifying the rise of ISIS, whose reprisals have goaded us into further strikes that attract new recruits in a vicious cycle that plays right into the terrorists hands.

This appears to be the rational behind the recent ISIS strikes in Paris.

Of course the knee-jerk response is that we must strike back with everything we can muster.

It’s crucial that we not humor terrorists by succumbing to hate and fear, but find the courage to wage

Letters to the Editor Thanks from The Music Academy The Music Academy is so grateful for the tremendous support of our community, including students, parents, board members, artist faculty members, staff and local businesses who generously gave their talent, time, treasure, and ties to Heartstrings – Celebrating Connections between Music and Medicine.

Heartstrings was a recent gala celebration of 30 years of commitment to empowering our students to become their own best teachers. We are also thankful for our on-going collaboration with University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford helped to present this event.

Thanks to all who understand and invest in advancing the vision and mission of The Music Academy, where we inspire in our students a lifelong love of the arts by providing high quality, affordable and accessible music and arts education. We rely on those people in our lives who give us the support and love we need to make a difference – to build something bigger than ourselves, something worth contributing to. We are grateful to those who believe so deeply in the work of The Music Academy.

A highlight of the evening was a performance

by Music Academy and Julliard alumnus Ben Geller, principal violist with the Charlotte Symphony and his cousin Noah Geller, also of Julliard and concertmaster of the Kansas City Symphony.

Another touching moment was a performance by Music Academy alumnae Shelby Latin Harris, Marta Siaba, Joanna Nerius and Leah Zahn along with string program director, Rachel Handlin honoring our long-term (15+ years) faculty members. Special kudos to the 22 alums from across the country that joined with currently enrolled students for a rousing rendition of the Bach Double Violin Concerto.

But how? “When the power of LOVE,” says a Facebook poster, “overcomes the love of POWER the world will know PEACE.” Einstein declared, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Time to grow up and develop a new paradigm. Time to enlist the world of Non Violence.

Marshall Rosenberg points out the first step toward Non Violent Communication, in a book by that name, is to understand where the opposing side is coming from. Something else Bin Laden said might be instructive: “Contrary to Bush’s claim that we hate freedom,” he said, “… let him explain to us why we don’t strike for example — Sweden? No, we fight because we

Upstream policy a threat to Illinois’ waterways

I want to be sure our neighbors in Illinois are aware of a major action Midwest Environmental Advocates filed on behalf of 16 Wisconsin citizens with on-going water pollution problems. Tuesday, October 20 we filed a Petition for Corrective Action with the EPA asking them to require the DNR to comply with the Clean Water Act or to rescind Wisconsin’s delegated authority to operate the program. We are hoping this is a chance to help the general public understand how important a well-functioning DNR is to our clean water future. I’d appreciate your sharing this with people you know. The legal research was a big task, but an even bigger task is at hand now— making sure the deep concern people have for water is visible to and heard by decision-makers who can drive needed changes. A modest but powerful act is writing letters to the editor highlighting water problems or concerns each of us has.

MEA has invested significant time and resources in legal challenges to Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) permits in the past 5 years. When we embarked on this legal strategy, we assumed, like in years past, just filing the legal action would spur settlement agreements and move the program back into compliance with the law. When we comment on proposed permits,

are free men who don’t sleep under oppression. We want to restore freedom to our nation, just as you lay waste to our nation, [s]o shall we lay waste to yours.”

In other words, Bin Laden and many others like him view the United States as the aggressor, laying waste to their nation. Before we reject that notion outright, we should take a look at our aggressive past here: academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossmaz/interventions. html. According to Zoltan Grossman, one Turkish newspaper “urges that the United States be listed in Guinness Book of World Records as the Country with the Most Foreign Interventions.”

Conquest on behalf of economic interests is not only violence, it’s theft.

To reverse that image we must

we include expensive expert analysis in addition to legal arguments. For the most part, prior to the last 5 years, we’ve been able to come to agreements on permit conditions with permittees and the DNR with little need of litigation. We have not had one case filed during Walker’s administration settle, and not one case where DNR facilitated a discussion to find compromise. On a fairly regular basis we are told by DNR staff that we will have to sue them because the higher ups won’t allow them to issue better permits. The good men and women of DNR have been stripped of professional autonomy and resources necessary to fulfill their duties as the Trustees for our public waters.

The EPA put DNR on notice in July 2011 that there were 75 significant deficiencies in the WPDES program. This letter from EPA was spurred by a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision in one of our cases where the court got the law very wrong.

In the Anderson case, a legal action against the Koch Brothers owned Georgia Pacific paper mill in Green Bay, the court’s decision left Wisconsin citizens without a venue in which to challenge WPDES permits that violate the Clean Water Act. In Anderson, Justice Prosser had just received $600,000-plus from the Koch brothers and didn’t recuse himself from the decision on their case.

Again, it was assumed the EPA letter would finally push DNR into compliance with the law. It didn’t.

We didn’t file the Petition lightly. No matter how many citizens stand up, or how many resources are available for litigation, we can’t replace a functioning DNR. We simply can’t have clean water without an effective government with the resources and professional autonomy for science-based decision-making.

We believe this is a teachable moment for the people of Wisconsin to understand their government

reverse the practice, reject our warring past and begin waging peace by making restitution with all victims of violence.

Become, not the primary aggressor, but merely a willing support system for those fighting ISIS and other terrorists in their own countries.

And, for crying out loud, take in the refugees! There could be no greater slap in the face to those people of the region to convince them we are indeed their enemy, than turning away their desperate refugees! The American thing to do is take them in, following thorough U.S. security screenings already in place. That will go a long way toward convincing the world that we have turned a page, and are ready to wage peace.

Because only peace can beget peace.

is not protecting their water. Reasonable people reasonably assume their government protects their water and don’t see a need to speak up or act. If people think their water is threatened, we believe they will speak up and hold decision-makers accountable.

Without public pressure, our state legislature likely won’t act on behalf of our water.

The very dense technical arguments in the petition are illustrated through the experiences of 16 Wisconsin water champions who’ve worked for years to resolve the serious water pollution problems in their communities. The petition itself profiles the citizens’ experience somewhat narrowly in line with the legal issue. Their full stories are being made available on our website and through social media, with a new profile released each week at midwestadvocates. org/citizen-voices-matter/overview.

Here is a link to information on the petition and background documents: midwestadvocates.org/pca .

If any of you have questions or would like more background please let me know. So far the reaction from media has been very positive in highlighting the serious problems with water pollution in every corner of our state. We all care about water and I believe if citizens better understand how the decimation of DNR resources and autonomy impact our clean and abundant water, they will let decision-makers know they expect better. Please share this information as you see fit.

MEA staff will be offering “101” sessions to partners, legislators and the public on what the petition is and why we filed it. We hope the petition may serve as a wake-up call to Wisconsin as to the necessity of a well-functioning DNR to our clean water future.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Nov. 25-Dec. 1, 2015

This Week: Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Stay safe in your travels and enjoy your loved ones.

The full moon in Gemini will offer some interesting dynamics Wednesday, November 25. Physical activity will be accentuated as well as humorous anecdotes for those accepting this day within a positive light-hearted mind set. Rippling effects always follow the full moon so make this day a great day. Friday we will be feeling the effects of Chiron, the Wounded Healer minor planet.

Try not to let Chiron throw you off course, its influence can be a very powerful healing tool, utilize it. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — An unexpected windfall arrives this week with the possible sale or purchase of an item that has a tremendous amount of value. This may be something that you’ve been sitting on for a while, or something you stumble across that another person has no use for. Either way, you will be in a position to provide the right home for this treasure. Try to get out and about, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— You have made a connection with a unique individual that helps you see many different angles to a specific project now. Once you’re able to formulate a plan you can move mountains with your long-term goals. You also have an opportunity to socialize with a love or friend from your past. Connect all of the dots, don’t leave anything out, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You are in a wonderful position to acquire wealth and knowledge at this time. However; you cannot let the past get in the way of the present. Open your mind to the possibilities of change, the picture becomes clear by week’s end, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Take this week to show another how much you care.

You may have been too overwhelmed to show any appreciation previously, now is your chance to catch up on your personal life. Plan a weekend away and lay the plans down for this now. It will arrive soon enough, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Don’t worry about legal documents or ramifications surrounding your work or home life now.

You have everything in check and there is no need to take on any more emotional burdens.

Midweek a blessing in disguise arrives, take note of all of your surroundings, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You feel so relieved after getting all of these overwhelming burdens off of your chest. Your ability to communicate runs smoothly and you’re able to get everything under control once and for all. A focus on property may become a driving element to get things done. You will find a burst of energy arrives just in the nick of time, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Make sure your personal path is clear before you worry about taking on anymore mischief or frustration. When you tend to overlook the obvious someone will be more than willing to point it out to you. Beautify your surrounding area and make room for growth. Could you be purposely self-sabotaging your goals? If not is another trying to do this for you? Avoid negative elements, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — A work associate may try to feed gossip or bully a fellow employee this week. You may need to step in and give them an earful. Normally you would rather stay out of this kind of drama but at this time you have reached your last nerve with it all. Choose your words carefully, but let it be known you will not tolerate this kind of mean-spirited energy, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Romance aligns in a favorable light at this time.

You feel as though you are complete with all of the aspects that have been presented to you now. A lucky break regarding a vehicle or employment will arrive shortly. Keep your eyes and ears open for information with this aspect. The weekend holds some interesting surprises for you, Sag.

Shadley Apartments

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Those around you provide you with much love and support at this time. You are so surprised at the outpouring of affection that you could become quite emotional over it all. Receive this love graciously and return it whenever you can. This contagious affection is a wonderful epidemic.

Your finances begin to make sense and you’re able to set some money aside for a rainy day.

Express creative self at this time, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Expansion within the career will increase your finances and allow you to see the big picture in the months to come. Romance becomes a major focus midweek. You are able to get to the bottom of a confusing element with another and clear it up for good. With that said you can move on to bigger and better things, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A change in home, work or career entirely is on the forefront at this time. This is an exciting development that promises success and satisfaction. Take a leap of faith and go for it. You can no longer worry about the what ifs in life and expect to expand and grow. Once everything falls into place you breathe a big sigh of relief, Pisces.

Are Low Magnesium Levels Causing You Heart Problems?

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. I recently came back from a wonderful conference w ith renow ned cardiologist from around our country. I have always preached in my office that statin drugs cause more harm than good. Statins are suppose take the cholesterol out of the body but the brain is made of cholesterol. Look at all the Alzheimer’s and dementia. It was so refreshing to hear these wonderful doctors state what I have believed for years.

Dr. Brow nstein literally states to run from the statin prescribing cardiologist. All of them had the same message. Treat the inf lammation not the cholesterol.

When heart /lung /diabetic clients come to me I educate them that inf lammation in the artery walls is the real cause of heart disease.

Without inf lammation being present in the artery walls there is no accumulation in the walls of the blood vessel which causes heart disease and strokes. I then have to look at their magnesium levels for the heart is a big muscle and magnesium calms the muscle.

The biggest culprits of chronic inf lammation is quite simple DIET. Highly processed carbohydrates

such as sugar, f lour and all of them combined along w ith Omega 6 oils. We have all heard for years how bad Omega 6 oils are. I did a talk 2 years ago at Satori Pathway on the harms of Omega 6 oils. Oils such as soy, corn, sunf lower and all combo’s of these oils causes inf lammation. Dr. Lundell pointed out more nutritional evidence on the excessive use of omega 6 and the harms of today’s food environment w ith the extreme imbalance of omega 6 and inf lammation.

Dr. Blaylock states that there is evidence that a magnesium deficiency plays a role in atherosclerosis which is also called hardening of the arteries. He states that magnesium supplementation inhibits the deposit of lipids in the walls of the aorta that inhibits plaque formation. If you have Charlie horses and muscle cramps this is already an indication that you are low in magnesium.

If I can help you w ith your heart health please call my office to make an appointment.

lease be assured that a continuing search by land, sea, and air is being made to discover the whereabouts of our missing personnel. As our armies advance over enemy occupied territory, special troops are assigned to this task, and all agencies of the government in every country are constantly sending in details which aid us in bringing additional information to you.”

The letter came just a day after the telegram.

Both had been signed by Major General J.A. Ulio the Adjutant General and were addressed to Mrs. Ann Ulander. Ann and her husband Carl Sr., had two sons, Carl Junior who was 22 years old and Robert who was just 19.

Both boys had enlisted in the service, Carl, the oldest, worked as a navigator on a B-17 “Flying Fortress” while his brother, Robert was in training to be a Flight Engineer.

Carl Junior had been born in Rockford on July 28, 1922. He graduated from Winnebago Community High School and had been employed at Swan Peterson and Sons Florist. Carl had entered the service on June 1, 1943. His parents were very proud of him when he received his commission and navigators wings on April 22, 1944. He was now addressed as Lieutenant Carl G. Ulander Jr. Robert, the younger son of Carl and Anna was stationed at Lowry Field in Denver, Colorado. He would later serve on Saipan and Guam as a flight engineer on a B-29.

Carl Sr. and Ann heard from Carl Jr. shortly after his arrival overseas with the 8th Air Force.

He had only been there for two months and had not yet been sent on any missions.

It was on one of his first missions that Carl was part of a four-pronged Allied attack on Germany. More than 1,100 American bombers were sent on the attack on German war factories in Magdeburg, Kassel, and Mersberg. This attack would prove very costly for the 8th.

The 8th Air Force lost 42 heavy bombers and 16 escorting fighters during the attack. Carl’s parents would not learn the details of his mission for many months. His Flying Fortress participated in the air raid over Magdeburg, Germany on September 28–it was around 11:35 a.m. and the planes were close to reaching their target when they were attacked by enemy aircraft.

Carl’s plane was hit by enemy fire and left the formation. The plane dropped its bombs and then suddenly it went into a dive. No one saw what happened to the plane after it began its descent.

Carl Ulander Jr. was declared missing for a year. His parents received a letter from the Commanding General of the Army Air Forces H.H. Arnold in October 1945 finally declaring

Carl as killed in action, expressing his sympathy and also spoke of Carl Junior’s excellent military reputation.

Lt. Carl Ulander was awarded the Purple Heart in November 1945 for his sacrifice. His brother, Robert would leave the service shortly after the notification came. Robert had also been awarded an air medal and the Asiatic Pacific Theater ribbon with two battle stars for participating in “Aerial Missions over Japan.”

The letter announcing Carl Junior’s award of the Purple Heart has the Secretary of War seal and very eloquently states, “Little that we can do or say will console you for the death of your loved one. We profoundly appreciate the greatness of your loss, for in a very real sense the loss suffered by any of us in the battle for our country, is a loss shared by all of us. When the medal, which you will shortly receive, reaches you, I want you to know that with it goes my sincerest sympathy, and the hope that time and the victory of our cause will finally lighten the burden of your grief.”

I received a packet of papers from Robert Ulander’s wife, Ruth. She requested that I tell of Robert’s service and of the sacrifice of his brother, Carl. The letters that were so carefully preserved: first by Carl and Robert’s mother, Ann and then by Robert himself, spoke so clearly of a family’s pride and grief. Their loss, now over 70 years ago, was obviously felt and carried by each member of their family.

Mr Green Car

Prep early in the season for winter driving conditions

By Allen Penticoff

I

Contributor

t is November 23 as I write this column.

We just got through a near record-breaking (and in some areas well exceeding record-breaking) November snowstorm.

Winter is back.

By no small coincidence, the November issue of Consumer Reports has an article on winter driving and the effectiveness of all-wheel drive and types of tires in winter conditions. I have written in the past on both subjects, but gleaning from Consumer Reports and my own experiences it is always worth bringing up the subject again.

For years now the automakers have marketed all-wheel drive (AWD) to us as a must have for safe all-weather driving. Having personally owned several AWD and four-wheel drive trucks that indeed, when it comes to getting going in snow, they cannot be beat. But that’s really only where they excel (as Consumer Reports reported too) – and they do well in going up snow covered driveways as well.

But AWD and four-wheel drive don’t do much for stopping or turning. In fact, they can be a detriment. I often found in the case of our AWD Subaru, its traction would allow me (not so much my wife Ruth) to get going too fast for conditions, then finding that I had not allowed sufficient stop-

ping room or was going too fast around a corner.

With AWD, once the front tires start sliding while stopping or turning, you have lost control and will drift out of your intended path.

The get going traction of AWD also leads one to believe that any old tire is fine for winter. Here Consumer Reports dispelled that notion – and where my personal experience has confirmed.

AWD without the proper winter tires is barely any better than front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive for driving safety. While one can obtain “performance all-season” tires that perform better in rain and snow than ordinary “all-season” tires, most of us do not buy them due to cost – and they are not usually installed as standard equipment on new cars.

Since tires are now lasting from 60,000 to 100,000 miles, many owners never change tires in the time they own their cars. The reason we can get this much mileage out of tires is in part due to the harder wear resistant rubber compounds in the tires. This same hardness works against us when it comes to getting good traction on wet or snowy roads.

Consumer Reports says that all-season tires have a stopping distance of 134 feet on dry pavement, a stopping distance of 143 feet on wet pavement and a whopping 668 feet on snowy pavement from 60 mph on a 2015 Honda CR-V

with AWD. The same CR-V stopped in less than half the distance on snow – 310 feet with winter tires. Winter tires make all the difference in the world in snow.

We sold our Subaru and fitted our old Honda Civic that is front-wheel drive with winter tires all around (and so far, leave them on all year round). The soft rubber and extensive siping (little cuts or slots) and more aggressive lugs have made the old Honda nearly as good in snow as the Subaru (actually stops and turn better). I did have to pledge to myself to do a better job of keeping our driveway clear – it never mattered to the Subaru, it does to the Honda. If driven extensively on dry roads, the winter tires will wear out very fast.

But the old Honda is our “winter car” now, driven mostly when the snow is too deep for the Volt to contend with (the Volt, by the way, does quite well on snowy, slushy roads and hills – just not deep snow due to its low ground clearance).

So if you’d like to upgrade to AWD-like traction, without the expense of paying for an AWD drivetrain and its associated maintenance, then consider the modest expense of buying four wheels and winter tires. Since many vehicles now come with aluminum wheels, you may want to look into buying plain steel wheels – either new or used, then purchasing good winter tires and

having them installed.

Inexpensive plastic wheel covers can dress up the steel wheels - which are resistant to damage from potholes. You should be able to do this for under $1,000. Since they are only going to be used intermittently – they will last you many years – perhaps as long as you own the car and the next owner as well. It is a bit of a hassle to store them and have them swapped twice a year, but well worth the effort.

If you own AWD already, consider upgrading to a tire that has better winter performance and leave them on all year. Or consider getting the most out of your vehicle and have a separate set of winter wheels and tires as well. Then you will be getting the kind of winter driving safety you thought you were going to get when you bought the vehicle.

Lastly, Consumer Reports tested three small SUVs in the snow. Their testing found the Subaru Forester did very well, the Honda CR-V was okay, and the Toyota RAV4 was marginal (my description not theirs). You can view video of these vehicles being tested in snow at ConsumerReports. org/video. The same November 2015 issue has the “Ten Best and Worst” cars for winter driving (an owner survey report). There is also an extensive “everything you need to know” article about tires, including rating 21 winter tires.

Energy & Environment

The blazing return of the hyrdrogen future

By Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

P

rior to the early Illinois Renewable Energy Association Fairs–which included presentations on the hydrogen economy–we were linked with an effort to bring the Hydrogen Highway to northern Illinois. At the second Fair Thorstein Sigfusson described Iceland’s efforts to become the world’s first hydrogen economy. We later toured some energy installations there including geothermal and hydro facilities, their first hydrogen fueling station and the three hydrogen-powered buses which traveled the streets of Reykjavik.

It was an appealing vision as it relied on renewable energy sources to produce hydrogen and appeared to offer a pathway to a clean energy future.

The vision was tarnished as much of the low-cost electricity was used to expand their aluminum smelting facilities for global markets. A large hydroelectric plant was installed in a formerly pristine area to increase the production of electricity. It is doubtful they will reach their original goal of being a hydrogen economy by 2040.

In Germany Siemens has developed an electrolyser to release hydrogen from water which can operate with the variable production of large-scale wind generators. They see hydrogen as the only storage option that can reach the scale large enough to meet their needs. Germany now wastes 20 percent of the production from its wind farms because its lacks the grid capacity to shift the output to where it is needed.

In a 2014 presentation Pat Murphy, also a presenter at an earlier Fair, indicated he looked forward to the arrival of Toyota’s upgraded model of its hybrid electric vehicle. Of the 10 million hybrids in the marketplace, 7 million were made

by Toyota. He sees the hybrid as a relatively clean option for meeting auto transportation needs of the Midwest.

At this year’s Fair, Chris Schneider, the Hybrid Guru, shared Toyota’s short-term vision of continued reliance on their highly successful hybrid and their long-term vision of an auto fleet based on hydrogen fuel cell technology. Hyundai and Honda are also introducing fuel cell vehicles.

However, electric vehicle advocates are dismissive of a transition to fuel cell vehicles. They point to the high cost of building the infrastructure needed to refuel the cars in contrast to the low cost of expanding the grid to serve electrical vehicles. Another concern is that the likely source of the hydrogen is natural gas. Releasing hydrogen from the gas also involves the release of carbon dioxide. If the carbon is not sequestered it will contribute to climate change In addition to competition from fuel cells, the

RockRiverTimes.com

well-publicized effort of Elon Musk in creating an electricity based transportation system is also facing competition from China’s BYD efforts in electrified transportation. Both Tesla and BYD make electric vehicles and batteries to power them; BYD is the world’s leading battery manufacturer.

According to Mazor’s Edge BYD makes a full range of electric vehicles, including cars, buses, trucks and off-road vehicles. They have introduced an electric bus using an iron-phosphate battery that retains 70 percent of its capacity after 10,000 recharge cycles. Some of their buses being made in California are operating in major cities along the west coast. The firm initiated a small transportation program in Chicago with Uber using their E6 crossover model which gets about 186 miles on a single charge, expected to reach 250 by 2016.

While the competition for the green car market has intensified, the outcome remains uncertain. But the expectation of an ever-expanding car based global transportation system is likely to undermine the environmental benefits of cleaner cars. Whatever the outcome, hydrogen will play a role in the energy future.

2015 Illinois Farm Econ Summit scheduled Exit strategies

for cover crops

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

As discussed in the last two columns, a cover crop is a crop that is grown in order to address soil needs by controlling weeds, adding organic matter, sequestering nitrogen, and other benefits. Cover crops will be either warm or cool season and leguminous or nonleguminous. As you narrow down which cover crop you want to plant, you should take into account how you are going to get rid of it.

This is your exit strategy. You’ve planted the cover crop. It has yielded well and now you need to get rid of it so you can plant your main fruits and vegetables. Exit strategies vary from cover crop to cover crop due to the growth characteristics of the plant. I always encourage those considering cover crops to have an exit strategy determined before the seed is even bought.

The easiest exit strategy is winter kill. You plant a warm season cover crop and the first hard frost in the fall will kill it. Over the winter, the dead plant material will break down into the soil.

Other exit strategies require you to be proactive by either cutting it with a weed eater or other equipment. Once this is done, ideally the cover crop will die and breakdown further. From there, you might be able to plant your vegetables where the cover crop was.

This would be a no-till strategy. If you decide to till under the cover crop, this would be a modified green manure method.

Green manure is a strategy where you till under the entire cover crop. The plant decomposes and then you plant where the crop was.

Most green manure cover crops are those that are planted in earlier spring or in the fall that overwinter. To acquire the most benefits of the green manure cover crop, you should till it under a month before you plan to plant your main crops.

Ideally, an exit strategy should be implemented soon after flowering as you’ve reached the greatest soil benefits to your garden. This special focus on cover crops these last weeks should serve as introduction and I encourage you to seek out additional information in determining what can work best for you.

URBANA – Should cash rents be lowered? Will fertilizer and seed prices decline and provide some measure of relief? What do margins look like if grain prices recover to longer-term averages? These and otherquestionswillbeaddressedatthisyear’sIllinois Farm Economics Summit in December.

“The big story in Illinois agriculture in 2015 was the ‘margin squeeze’ faced by crop producers,” said U of I agricultural economist Scott Irwin. “This squeeze was brought on by continued declines in corn and soybean prices and costs of production that remained at historically high levels. The key question going forward is how the crop sector will adjust to this new reality.”

SpeakersfromtheUniversityofIllinoisExtension farmdoc team will explore the farm profitability outlook and management challenges from several perspectives, including the 2015 outlook for prices, farm income prospects, land rents and valuation, long-term credit cycles, nutrient management, and the outlook for conventional bio-fuels.

Irwin said that the format for the meetings will be fast-paced and allow plenty of time for questions

from the audience.

SponsoredbyUofIExtension,thefarmeconomics summit will be offered at five different locations during the month of December.

The dates and locations are as follows: •Monday, Dec. 14 – Champaign, iHotel and Conference Center Tuesday, Dec. 15 – DeKalb, Faranda’s Banquet Center •Wednesday, Dec. 16 – Peoria, Peoria Civic Center •Thursday, Dec. 17 – Springfield, Crowne Plaza •Friday, Dec. 18 – Mt. Vernon, Holiday Inn The sessions will begin at 7:45 a.m. and conclude at 1:30 p.m. The advance registration fee is $70 per person and includes lunch, refreshments, and all meeting materials. The online pre-registration deadline is Dec. 7, which includes a $5 discount.

Registration at the door is $75 per person as space permits.

Holidays

It’s time for your family to go on the big tree hunt

By Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

The hunt for the perfect Christmas tree! On the day after Thanksgiving (November 27), the Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County (PPSOC), a nonprofit organization, will begin sales of trees at 10 a.m. Sales will continue through December 23 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekends and 2-4 p.m. on weekdays at the former Cut-It-Yourself Sinnissippi Tree Farm at 2879 S. Daysville Road.

Families come with the expectation of hunting something less dangerous than big game, but just as satisfying. Find the perfect tree for your family’s holiday celebrations and leave Sand Ridge with the sense of satisfaction that only a successful hunt can create.

RockRiverTimes.com

Beautiful trees, left by the former Sinnissippi Tree Farm purchased by the PPSOC, trimmed to beautiful shapes, will be sold to pay for the 82 acre site which contains high quality prairie remnants. It has been renamed Sand Ridge.

Sand Ridge is a great place to visit even without the bonus of the Christmas trees. With hills of waving prairie grasses and forbs (wild flowers), stands of spruce, fir and pine, it provides a quiet beauty and sense of peace to those fortunate enough to stop there. The sound of the breezes in the evergreens and their invigorating scent provides a moment transported to the north woods.

Surrounded by towering white pines which block the sight of cornfields and houses, it is a place set apart – a peaceful sanctuary from the everyday.

Visit, enjoy, and take the feeling with you.

National Hockey League

Circus Trip starts off as a sideshow

By Adam Hess Contributor

T

he Blackhawks kicked off their annual November Circus Trip last week, making their way west through Canada and taking on the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, and Vancouver Canucks. Edmonton and Calgary, as I mentioned last week, were two of the worst teams in the Western Conference heading into last week.

Despite that, the Blackhawks struggled immensely in all three of their games north of the border last week. Actually, saying that they struggled is putting it mildly.

The Blackhawks looked horrible, quite frankly. They got off to horrible starts in all three games, especially their first two against Edmonton and Calgary. They managed to battle back in each of their first two games and send those games to overtime, stealing the win in Edmonton and nearly doing the same in Calgary, if it had not been for Johnny Gaudreau’s absolute dominance in that overtime period.

The problem with having to steal games from Edmonton and Calgary, quite frankly, is that the Blackhawks should not have to be in a situation in which they’re stealing games from Edmonton and Calgary. Those teams are bad; the Blackhawks are not, or so we like to think.

The Blackhawks seem to have a dangerous tendency during the regular season to play down at the level of their competition. They play down to the bad teams, like Edmonton and Calgary, but tend to play very well against tougher competition. I’d be completely shocked if the Black-

hawks came out and looked as horrible as they did against Calgary this week when they play Los Angeles. Not because the team has “learned a lesson” from their play last week, but because it’s just kind of what the Blackhawks do.

Now, to an extent some of the struggles from last week were understandable. The Blackhawks were without their young star Teuvo Teravainen for all three games in Canada, and their lineups looked pretty questionable for all three games.

Hell, Marian Hossa was on the third line to start the game in Vancouver, and while I can’t blame Coach Quenneville for trying to switch things up, that’s not exactly the ideal way to do it.

I’m also not so unreasonable to expect that Blackhawks play their absolute best hockey night in and night out through a 82-game stretch. That’s simply unrealistic and unfair to the team. However, I hardly find it hard to believe that even on their worst night, they can’t hike up their britches and play better than Edmonton or Calgary.

I wrote last week that if the Blackhawks struggled on this road trip and ended up missing the playoffs at the end of the season, we would likely know where to look for the lost points – this Circus Trip. Now, taking three out of the possible six points to start the trip isn’t exactly horrible.

But if the Blackhawks play as poorly this week in California as they did last week in Canada, those three points could be all they see from this Trip.

Kurtis Gabriel, who was right in front of the net, cut the Rockford lead back to one goal with 27 seconds left in the middle period.

Early in the third period, Rasmussen made a nice dangle around a Wild defender, but his shot was denied by Irving. The “Moose” picked up his own rebound and beat Irving to once extend Rockford’s lead.

Jeremy Morin found a loose puck in the left slot and fired a rocket past a sprawled out Irving to put Rockford comfortably ahead 5-2 with 11 minutes left in the game.

Michael Leighton and the Rockford defense locked the Wild out for the rest of the period, holding Iowa to seven shots in the period as Rockford came away with a point in their ninth straight game. With the win, Leighton earned his 200th AHL victory, placing him 13th overall in the league.

The following night the same teams hit the ice for the second game of the weekend series, and for the first time against Rockford this season, the Wild scored first. Keranen tallied his second goal of the weekend 7:19 into the game when his shot was deflected past Leighton for the 1-0 lead.

Rasmussen continued his strong play this weekend with the game-tying goal at 13:09. Nolan Valleau was the primary assist with Bickell factoring in as the second helper. Valleau threw a puck at the net which was tipped in by Rasumssen.

Iowa reclaimed the lead 1:48 into the second period when Grayson Downing earned his second point of the night.

Less than three minutes later, Bickell continued his torrid scoring pace with his third goal in four games since being sent back to Rockford. Bicks was playing back towards the blue line, and then pinched in closer to the left faceoff circle and fired a one-timer into the back of the net.

Just 19 seconds later it was Mark McNeill giving Rockford their first lead of the game. McNeill grabbed the puck in transition on the right side of the ice, then wristed a rocket for his third goal of the season.

Iowa knotted things up late in the second when Zack Mitchell beat Leighton for his third of the season 14:18 into the second period.

A late third period power play gave Rockford the lead once again. Hinostroza held the puck deep in the Iowa zone and found a streaking Kyle Cumiskey who ripped a shot past Jeremy Smith, who was partially screened by Ryan Hartman.

The IceHogs fought off a penalty kill with four minutes left in the game to preserve the win, 4-3.

The victory gave Rockford points in 10 straight games, showing a record of 8-0-1-1 during that span, with four of the wins coming against the Wild.

Rockford plays three games this week with a road game on Wednesday against the Grand Rapids Griffins. Rockford will then head up to Milwaukee on Friday against the Admirals. Milwaukee was one of two teams to hand Rockford a loss in their 10-game streak, an overtime loss on Saturday, November 7. Rockford’s next home game takes place on Sunday when they host the Lake Erie Monsters.

This will also be the night where the Stanley Cup comes to town, as fans will have an opportunity to get their picture taken with the celebrated trophy.

ingly considered to be an asset defensively at the most difficult defensive position. His bat is perennially disappointing, but when paired with Geovany Soto last year the White Sox were actually middle of the pack as far as Catcher Offense goes. Given the huge problems elsewhere on the roster, this is hardly a priority to upgrade, especially when there are a ton of free agent catchers who will be available after 2016.

t this point, most readers are fully aware of what happened with the White Sox in 2015. After 2014, they realized, “Hey – between Sale, Quintana, Abreu, and Eaton, we have some top-end talent.

If we shore up our glaring weakness- Where can they hope for improvement internally? es, we might have something here!”

To that end, they added Jeff Samardzija, Melky Cabrera, David Robertson, and Adam LaRoche.

Unfortunately, two of those guys had the worst years of their careers, Melky was pretty close to it, and even though Robertson was as good as advertised, a closer only moves the needle so much and the White Sox’ win total was in the 70s again.

Sadly, one year later, the White Sox are basically in the same spot with all of those prime players one year older, although the emergence of Carlos Rodon certainly improves their chances.

Where is the roster today?

Sox go for ‘rebuild on the fly’ again

First base and center field are both locked in as positions of strength, with All Star caliber players in the form of Jose Abreu and Adam Eaton respectively. It will be interesting to see how much of Eaton’s 2015 Power Spike was a true step forward, or whether it was a blip. Either way he’s an extremely valuable player. Abreu battled nagging injuries and the general underperformance plague that infected the whole roster and still managed a solid year at the plate.

The White Sox have a cheap, young, and uber talented front three in their starting rotation in the form of Chris Sale, Jose Quintana, and Carlos Rodon. The fact that they’re still probably bad is an embarrassment, but this is the main source of whatever hope there is.

Bullpens are notoriously fickle year-to-year, but after being a vortex of misery in 2014, the 2015 version was hardly a problem and should be fine next year. Nate Jones returned and looked strong, and he joins a potentially lethal group along David Robertson, Jake Petricka, Zach Putnam (who somehow struck out 11.8 per 9 last year?), and Frankie Montas. While there is volatility here, there is reason to believe that whatever problems may arise can be dealt with internally or with cheap external additions.

While Melky Cabrera had a down year with the bat – a problem, given his lackluster glove – he’s had down years like this before and been able to bounce back. Still just 31, it’s too early to give up on him.

He’s not popular, but Tyler Flowers is increas-

Given that Adam LaRoche will be 36 next season, his cratering last year is very likely a reflection of a permanent decrease in true talent level.

And, unsurprisingly for a player with as many miles as he has, he was dealing with a plethora of deleterious injuries in 2015. That said, he still vaguely resembled a major leaguer against RHP (.221/.318/.379) whereas he is an automatic out against LHP at this point (.157/.191/.191). A strict platoon against RHP and perhaps better luck with health could yield ~400-450 PAs of ~.750 OPS baseball, which would still be a huge disappointment given his contract, but it could maybe help you win a game here or there.

Carlos Rodon had an excellent rookie year, and there is good reason to believe that 2016 will feature a better quality and higher quantity of innings from the big lefty. Along those lines, while Erik Johnson probably has a low ceiling and has failed at the MLB level before, it is reasonable to think he could match or better Samardzija’s ~5.00 ERA from last season, or whatever fringe-quality starts were thrown in by the likes of Chris Beck and Hector Noesi. For all that the White Sox have been utterly incapable of developing hitters, they do have an excellent track record of getting the most out of pitchers, and if these two take steps forward it could mean for a truly dominant pitching staff.

Trayce Thompson had a lovely September, hitting .295/.363/.533 with excellent defense in 135 PAs. He was so good (and the rest of the team was so bad) that he managed to accumulate the 3rdbest bWAR total amongst CHW position players in only 44 games. Given his track record and profile, one has to scale back expectations. RHP are going to give him trouble unless he takes a big, real step forward. That said, his glove is really good and can play in center field, and he does have great athleticism and power. If nothing else, he can crush lefties – a tool that didn’t really exist on last year’s roster, as fans had to suffer through watching LaRoche get annihilated by lefties over and over. Also, even if he gets pressed into being the everyday right field, even just by virtue of his glove he is likely to be an improvement over Avisail Garcia, who is terrible at every facet of baseball.

*They haven’t had back to back winning seasons in a decade and have never made the playoffs in back to back seasons. This franchise is over 100-years-old.

MLB.

Carlos Sanchez developing into a legitimate starter is probably a necessary component to any real White Sox contender in 2016 unless something massive changes. His glove is really good, and that’s half the battle, and he has always been extremely young for every level he has played at. Although he hit like a pitcher for several months, he had a very-playable .687 OPS in the second half.

It is often a mistake to throw away a terrible first half and only focus on a good second half, but it’s not completely insane to think maybe a 23year old got more comfortable with major league pitching as the year went on. Still, if he doesn’t work out there isn’t really much of a Plan B, and we’ve seen how well the White Sox cope with that scenario before. See Morel, Brent.

Okay, so that only leaves…

Third, short, right, and kind of second, catcher, and the back of the rotation to fix in one offseason. Ugh. On the plus side, third base and right field were just so abominably bad last year that even modest acquisitions have the potential to be big upgrades. On the downside, they have had this problem before and failed to get those modest acquisitions to work.

The free agent market has elite options like Jason Heyward, Yoenis Cespedes, and Justin Upton, and just behind them is Alex Gordon.

My preference is Upton, given that I think he is somewhat underrated at the moment and will

be a nice balance between performance and likely price. Any of these four – although some of them may wind up being “more expensive than they’re worth” – would mean a gigantic upgrade and would potentially transform the complexion of the roster and give them a realistic chance at contending.

However, the front office has been leaking tons of quotes this fall about how they just don’t have any money, woe is us, the fans just won’t come out for some reason*, we just can’t spend!

Hopefully this is just the White Sox feeling clever and sneaky, but Reinsdorf has torpedoed the franchise repeatedly by refusing to spend a little more on the margins before, so color me skeptical. *They haven’t had back to back winning seasons in a decade and have never made the playoffs in back to back seasons. This franchise is over 100-years-old.

They have even opened up a new hole on a roster that couldn’t afford the holes it already had, parting with Alexei Ramirez despite a cheap 1-year, $10 million option available to them. And really, with the $1 million buy-out, it was a $9 million cost to keep him. He will almost certainly make more than that in free agency, and now the White Sox have Tyler Saladino penciled in at SS. Saladino probably can’t hit, and has been extremely injury prone throughout his professional career. If nothing changes, they will essentially have Glove-Only options at SS, 2B, and C, with no depth behind them, and literally a man in a tee

shirt covered in question marks playing third.

Alex Gordon could be the affordable massive upgrade, and while he is the oldest of that group, he would be a desperately needed injection of OBP and defense, and would be another line of defense between my sanity and Avisail Garcia playing baseball in Chicago. While the front office has already begun to cry poverty, John Danks and Adam LaRoche come off the books after 2016, so theoretically you could back-load any free agent contracts and then fit them comfortably into the budget for 2017.

The free agent market for 3B is really, really weak, and so a trade is the most likely avenue of improvement. Martin Prado seems like a realistic option, although that might necessitate parting with Erik Johnson and others that you’d prefer to keep. Todd Frazier is the much more exciting trade target, and he would cost even more.

Releasing Alexei has the cascading effect of taking Tyler Saladino from the role of Utility Infielder – a role for which he is eminently suitable, and would be cheaper and less annoying than say, Gordon Beckham – and opening up that slot again. The White Sox actually threw $6 million at utility infielder last year in the forms of Gordon Beckham and Emilio Bonifacio. If I had to guess now, I would say it will be Leury Garcia, who is one of the worst hitters I have ever seen, but he did finally get a full docket of ABs in AAA for the first time in his career and he acquitted himself well.

And uh…he’s cheap I guess.

New face in the clubhouse

Even though the offseason has yet to begin in earnest, the White Sox have added Rick Renteria as bench coach. In 2014, Renteria managed a young Cubs team and received almost universal praise for his work. He was dismissed only because the Cubs realized they could grab Joe Maddon from Tampa, an individual considered to be one of the absolute best in the business. While I have been a vocal critic of Ventura’s and would be happy to see Renteria replace him outright, adding a well-regarded individual like Renteria should be seen as a positive regardless.

Conclusion

There is real opportunity here, given that SaleQuintana-Rodon-Eaton-Abreu are so good, so young, and so cheap. If some money were thrown at RF, 3B, and possibly SS, this team would have a very real chance at competing in 2016. Perhaps there are cheaper routes to contending than are immediately apparent to me, but Hahn is evidently going to have to be creative. Reinsdorf refuses to acknowledge that in every other industry you have to invest in making a quality product before you peevishly demand that customers buy it.

Despite this self-imposed handicap, a league average 3B and Alex Gordon combined with better years from Melky and someone like Carlos Sanchez could move the needle enough so that Sale, Quintana, and Rodon can drag this organization kicking and screaming back to the playoffs for the first time in 8 years. | @Nick_TCS.

NFL | Week 11

So close yet so far

By Nate Johnson Columnist

I

n the end, it came down to two yards standing in the way of the Chicago Bears going into their Thanksgiving prime-time matchup with the Green Bay Packers with an even 5-5 record. Unfortunately, rookie running back Jeremy Langford was unable to convert a twopoint conversion after the only Bears touchdown of the day as they came up short 17-15 to the visiting Denver Broncos.

Facing the league’s best defense would have been a challenge for the Bears with a full offensive compliment, but injuries continued to plague the team. Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, and Eddie Royal all were inactive for the game and one of the rookie backs carrying Forte’s load, Ka’Deem Carey, left in the third quarter with an apparent concussion.

For three periods, it appeared that the team might be doing just enough to pull off the win in coach John Fox’s first meeting with his former team since he was seen out in January.

The defense sacked rookie quarterback Brock Osweiler five times, Jay Cutler spread the ball well between seven different receivers, and the team managed to go the length without a penalty for the first time in almost twenty years.

Once the fourth quarter hit, things went downhill.

Cutler turned the ball over twice in the final period, throwing an interception on an errant pass meant for Marquess Wilson, and getting stripped by Von Miller as the Bears marched towards Denver’s end zone.

A final opportunity presented itself as Chicago took possession for the last time with two minutes remaining. A series of mid-range passes

by Cutler and a defensive pass interference call on a ball meant for Martellus Bennett took the Bears to the two-yard line before Langford charged over the line for his third rushing touchdown in as many weeks.

“On the two-point conversion, I have to do a better job of getting two yards,” said Langford.

“We have to come back, regroup and do better next time.”

Down by two, Fox had no choice but to leave his offense on the field for the two-point attempt. The

play was doomed from the start as Cutler checked to a run play, which appeared to catch other personnel off-guard. Langford was stopped immediately and the team was left with nothing more than an ill-fated onside kick attempt.

“Our margin for error isn’t that great,” Cutler said after the loss. “We’ve got to play pretty good football for four quarters and we’ve got to play really good football in the fourth quarter. In the games that we’ve won, we figured out a way to do that. In the games that we’ve lost, we haven’t.”

Making his first career start on his 25th birthday, Osweiler came out on the first Denver possession of the game and found a wide-open Demaryius Thomas for a 48-yard touchdown pass. That would be his only score of the game, as he balanced some nifty play action that frequently found the Chicago defense out of place with some clunky stretches.

Despite the five sacks, including the first in the career of rookie defensive back Adrian Amos, this was the first time in five games that the Bears were unable to force a takeaway.

The Bears have a short turnaround, heading to Green Bay on Thursday night for the 192nd episode in the storied rivalry.

“How much you work as far as the pads, the intensity of the work, I think has to be minimized,” said coach John Fox. “Otherwise guys won’t have time to recover.”

The offense could again be well short-handed as Bennett, Carey, and Royal all missed practice on Monday and Forte, Jeffery and Wilson were all limited. After a recent stretch of underwhelming performances, the Packers bounced back on Sunday to beat the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field, 30-13, to regain a share of the NFC North lead.

A couple roster moves saw the Bears cut quarterback Jimmy Cutler and call up David Fales from the practice squad. League sources had two teams lurking around the second year pass thrower: the Ravens and 49ers.

Chicago also activated first round pick Kevin White’s 21-day practice window, giving the team three weeks to decide whether to activate him for the rest of the season. White has been out since June’s OTAs with a stress fracture in his shin.

Running back Jeremy Langford hauls in a pass during Sunday’s 17-15 loss to the Denver Broncos (8-2).

The Bears go into Thursday’s matchup with the Packers (7-3) at 4-6. chicagobears.com

Streak stops at 10, but Hogs grab 3 points

By Todd Reicher Columnist

The Rockford IceHogs keep racking up the wins with a weekend sweep of the struggling Iowa Wild.

The first game of the weekend double-header was a close contest until the ‘Hogs pulled away in the third period.

Early in the first period it looked like Dennis Rasmussen put Rockford up 1-0, but after official

Football

review, it was determined that net became dislodged before the puck crossed the line.

A few minutes later, Vince Hinostroza connected with P.C. Labrie to score the first goal. The tap-in from Labrie was his fourth of the season. The Wild had two power play opportunities during the first 20 minutes but came up empty-handed. Rockford also held the edge in shots on goal at a 10-9 margin.

40 seconds into the period when he successfully converted on a wrap-around goal assisted by Jake Dowell, who threw the puck at the back boards.

Iowa cut the lead in half on their third power play opportunity with Michael Keranen scoring his third of the season, 3:06 into the second period.

With his second point of the night, Bryan Bickell extended the Rockford lead to two goals once again with a power play marker 14:02 into the period.
