City Beat RVC cuts simply down to Springfield’s failures The Rock Valley College Board of Trustees voted unanimously Monday night to eliminate 30 positions and wipe another 14 vacant posts off the books. The move will save RVC $2.8 million as the college scrambles to recover costs in light of a lack of funding from By Shane the state. Nicholson A source close to the board told the Times that they expect Monday’s cuts will be enough to see the school through for the time being. “With a small tuition increase (RVC) should be able to make this work,” they said, adding that the cuts were made with only a 50 percent funding guarantee from the state in mind. Right now, the school is looking at a $7 million budget shortfall due to the impasse in the state. “If Springfield gives the school nothing again next year, which is very possible, it would need further cuts and go further into reserves.” Monday’s announced layoffs accounted for fully 14 percent of RVC’s 311 non-union staff positions. The board expects the savings will be enough to see the college through to 2017. n The search for Rockford’s new police chief is well underway and the city is getting set to host a series of meetings for public input and info over the coming weeks. One name officers the Times has talked to would certainly like to see on the shortlist: the District 2 Deputy Commander, Lieutenant Walter Felton. “Walt’s a cop’s cop,” said one officer. “And I don’t just mean that in the old way, that he’s nothing but the badge. He’s done everything in that building, and he’s got the respect of all of us and of the community.” Felton has in fact just about done it all for the city’s police department over the course of his 27-year career. Patrol and traffic beats, CSI, a detective working on youth and sex crimes, SWAT... it’s a lifetime of experience any officer would aspire to, and one many of his peers feel would serve Rockford well as chief. “It might be a tough sell because people are so concerned with everything else these days,” another RPD officer told us. “But if he’s paired with the right (deputy chief), maybe even a minority candidate to help allay some concerns in the community, he could be just what the department needs.” The respect for Felton from inside RPD’s halls would certainly be a departure from the Chet Epperson era; the former police chief was infamously on the wrong end of a 276-6 no-confidence vote by the union in 2007. The community meetings will be held Thursday, 5:30 p.m. at the Millennium Center, 220 S. Madison St.; next Tuesday, 6:30 p.m. at Flinn Middle School, 2525 Ohio Pkwy; and Dec. 17 at St. Peter’s Cathedral, 1243 N. Church St.

A DANGEROUS GAME

Why Trump’s call for keeping Muslims out undermines national security By Justin Salhani ThinkProgress.org

In what might be his most incendiary statement to date, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump put out a press release Monday calling for the U.S. to bar entry to Muslims, including American Muslims, from entering the United States until further notice. “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” a campaign press release said. A campaign spokesperson told The Hill that this proposal would include American Muslims reentering the country after traveling abroad. Trump’s latest proposal is driven with national security in mind. A couple in San Bernardino, California went on a killing spree last week, killing 14 people. ISIS later claimed the couple as followers, while authorities say the wife pledged allegiance to the group on her Facebook page prior to the attacks. In the wake of the San Bernardino shooting and with the Paris attacks still fresh in mind, Trump claims that Muslims pose a “dangerous threat.” While Trump assumes that stopping Muslims from entering the U.S. would boost domestic security, experts say such rhetoric bolsters the message of extremist groups like ISIS and, in correlation, increases animosity and potential retribution attacks against the U.S. “This is precisely what ISIS was aiming for — to provoke communities to commit actions against Muslims,” Arie Kruglanski, a professor of psychology at the University of Maryland who researches what motivates people to become terrorists, told the Washington Post. “Then ISIS will be able to say, ‘I told you so. These are your enemies, and the enemies of Islam.’” One of ISIS’ primary talking points is about eliminating the “grayzone” of coexistence between Muslims and western society. ISIS gains support by convincing vulnerable youths prone to ideological radicalization that the west has an aversion to Islam and, by extension, their families, their

various cultures and societies, and them as individuals. “Muslims in the West will soon find themselves between one of two choices,” the group published in their online magazine, Dabiq. Other statements released in Dabiq praised George W. Bush’s words in the aftermath of 9/11. “Bush spoke the truth when he said, ‘Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.’ I.e. either you are with the crusade or you are with Islam.” During a reporting trip to Tripoli, Lebanon last year I met the family of Khaled, an 18-year-old who traveled to Iraq and performed a suicide operation for ISIS. Interviews with his mother, eldest brother, mentor, and others shed light on a man driven by his perception of injustice against Sunnis in Iraq. “He was a kid, a child,” Mohammad, his brother, told me. “He saw Sunni oppression in Iraq and he told me: ‘The American army is killing us. [Iraqi Grand Ayatollah Ali] al-Sistani and Shiite groups are killing us. The Iraqi government is killing us, oppressing us and raping women and killing kids. I want to kill them all.’” His perception that the world is against Sunnis and contributes to their denigration, pushed him to run away from home and join ISIS. All of Khaled’s family and friends that I spoke to said his actions went against their beliefs, but that they still perceived the west as hostile to Islam. Statements like Trump’s latest only reinforce that perception and potentially influences people who are susceptible to ISIS propaganda. “This matters…the world watches this. The world sees the leading political candidate from one party making these kind of statements and still doing well and having these rallies,” NBC’s Richard Engel told Rachel Maddow on Monday. “Those are going around the world right now, and people realize this person is leading in the polls. That must be what Americans think. I was today with an Ambassador from the Middle East.” “And he said, well, people in our country watch what is going on, and it makes us very concerned,” Engel said. “So from the world perspective, it is absolutely an image, an impression, a black spot on our collective foreign policy and our conscience. And it also just feeds into the ISIS narrative.”

What would Trump’s plan Give the gift of golf look like if it was enacted? Only BIRDIE BAG Gift Pack

By Kira Lerner

ThinkProgress.org

After Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced his proposal Monday to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, reporters and pundits were quick to criticize the plan, saying it would undermine national security and that it’s just really, really racist. The plan would clearly be extremely problematic, not to mention illegal, if enacted. But indulging Trump, we took a look at how such a plan would actually work if Trump managed to win the presidency:

Who exactly is banned?

Our Birdie Bag makes the perfect gift for that special someone SAVE who loves the game of golf. UP TO

U P TO A $110 VA LU E

Don’t worry about those details, Trump has told reporters. Airline representatives, customs agents, and border guards would simply ask people for their religion. “They would say: ‘Are you Muslim?’” he said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday morning. If they say yes, they would not be allowed in the country. Simple, right?

Trump’s original statement called for a “total and complete shutdown” of allowing Muslims into the United States, and according to Trump’s campaign, the billionaire real estate mogul is not messing around. “Everyone,” Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told CNN said when asked if the ban would also apply to Muslim tourists. The campaign also told The Hill that the ban would include American Muslims currently abroad. How he plans to block U.S. citizens from returning to their homes was not immediately clear. Trump did concede that Muslims currently living in the country could remain here. “I have Muslim friends, Greta, and they’re wonderful people,” he told Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren. “It does not apply to people living in the country, except we have to be vigilant.” According to a 2007 survey by the Pew Research Center, 65 percent of the Muslim-American population are first-generation immigrants and 77 percent of Muslims living in the United States are citizens.

How long would the ban last?

Trump’s plan immediately drew comparisons to Adolf Hitler, but the business mogul doesn’t seem to care. When ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos asked him during an interview if the comparisons bother him, Trump answered with a flat out “No.” He also added that former President Franklin D. Roosevelt put Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II and, “they named highways after him.” In fact, New Hampshire state Rep. Al Baldasaro, identified as the co-chair of Trump’s state veterans coalition, actually invoked the Japanese internment as a defense of Trump’s plan. “What he’s saying is no different than the situation during World War II, when we put the Japanese in camps,” Baldasaro, a Marine veteran, said.

Would that require a registry?

After facing backlash last month when he told reporters that he would call for American Muslims being listed on a registry, Trump backed down from the plan, arguing that he hadn’t actually proposed the plan himself, just agreed he would implement it. Trump has not clarified if the registry idea will be coming back now that his Muslim ban has been flushed out.

In a statement, Trump’s campaign said the ban would be in place “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” Whether the representatives would need to figure out what’s going on with terrorism or with Trump’s xenophobic proposal is unclear. Trump added on Tuesday that he hoped the plan “wouldn’t take very long,” especially if it pushes Muslims to more diligently turn in their relatives, friends or neighbors who are acting suspicious. In Trump’s America, the more people who turn in their fellow airline passengers for speaking Arabic or for wearing hijabs, the sooner the ban will be lifted.

Is it legal?

No. Even Republican leaders are alleging that Trump’s plan would violate the Constitution. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) reportedly told his colleagues Tuesday that the ban “violates at least two amendments.” And legal experts agree. Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe told MSNBC that it violates the First Amendment’s Religion Clauses and the equality dimension of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

Has anyone ever done something like this?

House Speaker Paul Ryan reportedly told his colleagues Tuesday that the ban ‘violates at least two amendments.’

Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Lottery will start processing claims next week for winners who previously had to accept vouchers for prizes greater than $600. The Illinois Senate’s passage and Gov. Bruce Rauner’s signature Monday afternoon on Senate Bill 2039 means the Lottery can again begin payouts for all prizes, Acting Director B.R. Lane said in a statement. Claims will be paid out in the order received, according to the agency. “We are excited to be back and look forward to a revitalized experience for our players,” Lane said. The Lottery halted payouts for wins of more than $600 in mid-October. Having exhausted its prize money available from fiscal year 2015, the Lottery said it no longer had the legal authority to issue checks given the lack of a 2016 appropriation due to the state budget stalemate. Prizes of $600 or less — about 8,000 of them — were paid out by retailers. The Lottery’s legally mandated transfers to the Common School Fund were not affected. Senate Bill 2039 passed the House last week and on Monday sailed through the Senate by a vote of 53-0. Rauner signed it Monday afternoon. All told, it authorizes about $3.1 billion in spending and releases some tax money back into the hands of local governments. That money includes revenues such as the local share of motor fuel tax funds, money collected from phone bill taxes and local shares of gaming revenues. Some general fund money also was freed — about $28 million, according to House sponsor Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago — and goes toward costs ranging from cyber-security contracts for the Illinois Secretary of State to funding for rape crisis shelters. The bill, sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, was the result of bipartisan negotiation among the legislative caucuses and the Republican governor’s office, Cullerton said. Illinois Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger said her office would begin paying out the money. Munger, R-Lincolnshire, said payouts for local

governments, 911 centers and lottery winners can go out quickly because they are set aside in independent state funds. However, domestic violence shelter payments — also authorized in the bill — come from the state’s general fund, which has a nearly $7 billion bill backlog. Munger said she is directing domestic violence shelter payments be prioritized and paid upon receipt of a voucher. Attorney Tom Zimmerman of Chicago, who had filed a federal civil lawsuit on behalf of about two-dozen Lottery winners seeking their payouts, told Illinois News Network the lawsuit will continue. Interest the state earned on the payouts it withheld should belong to the Lottery winners, Zimmerman argues, and he said the allocation of that interest must be decided. As of last week, about $75 million to $80 in Lottery winnings plus interest had been withheld, Zimmerman said. Because the lawsuit seeks class-action status, a decision or settlement could affect interest on the payouts for all Lottery players who had prizes withheld. Illinois is in the sixth month of fiscal year 2016 without an overall budget as the GOP and Democrats remain at loggerheads. Meanwhile, the state is spending at a pace that could put it $5 billion into the red for this fiscal year as it funds primary and secondary education, satisfies its debt service and pays for items demanded by court orders, consent decrees and in continuing appropriations. Barring further developments, the General Assembly is next scheduled to return to Springfield on Jan. 13.

Muni’s get stocking stuffer of owed money

Illinois municipalities will find a big stocking stuffer just before the holidays — money owed by the state. During a Senate committee hearing on an amendment to Senate Bill 2039 Monday Illinois Municipal League Executive Director Brad Cole said the money for municipalities is important,

especially heading into the winter months and beyond. “But then moving into the spring so that street repairs, maintenance and other activities can take place.” Cole said the bill includes more than $220 million for municipal coffers, and also money from video gaming and casino receipts which local governments use for general operations. While municipalities wait for the money, Cole said they’ve been eating into other local funds. “They have been using their reserves or general funds revenues for expenses so far this fiscal year.” The Senate passed the amendment unanimously Monday afternoon with little debate which the governor quickly signed. Comptroller Leslie Munger says she will prioritize money for local governments and domestic violence shelters.

Rahm reverses, welcomes DOJ investigation

Chicago’s mayor says he supports an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice after resisting calls for a look into the city’s police department. In a statement responding to the DOJ’s announcement that it will investigate possible civil rights violations, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he welcomes the inquiry and the mutual goal is to create a stronger, better police department that keeps the community safe while respecting the civil rights of every Chicagoan. The Chicago Police Department has been under intense scrutiny over police-involved shootings. That led Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to request the DOJ investigation. Meanwhile after the release of another video showing a police officer shooting Ronald Johnson Emanuel questioned if existing policies on the use of deadly force are the right ones and if the training provided to officers to make split-second decisions in life or death situations is sufficient. –Illinois News Network report Greg Bishop, contributing.

Washington Center gets landmark council vote By Erin Kolb Contributor

City Council voted unanimously Monday to approve landmark status for the Booker T. Washington Community Center, 524 Kent St. in Rockford’s south side. Venita Hervey, alderman of the 5th Ward where the center is located, spoke of the importance of the Washington Center.

“It has played a huge and pivotal role in the 5th Ward throughout these years,” Hervey said. “It has a very rich and deep part of the history of the community, not just southwest Rockford.” Landmark designation is different than historical preservation designation, Hervey explained. If a building has historical preservation status, certain changes cannot be made to the site, while a building with landmark status can be improved

upon and renovated without interfering with its landmark status. Hervey said it wasn’t just the building that would receive landmark status. “It is the land itself, it is the place of the Booker Washington Center, that we would like to have designated landmark status,” Hervey said. The Washington Center will celebrate its 100th birthday in January 2016.

Family men Prowler still rocking Rockford By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Rockford Rocked Interview: Who are the members of Prowler? Prowler: Steve Watson (lead vocals and bass), Dan Hay (guitar), Brian Benney (drums and vocals), and Jim Watson (guitar and vocals). RRI: You guys are all seasoned musicians from the Rockford area but I’m told a few of you have been inactive in the local music scene for many years. What was it that made you want to get back together and rock again? Dan: We all took time off to raise families and that sort of thing. I guess when it’s in your blood it never really gets out of your system. We’re all very adamant about playing the same stuff we were doing back then. Brian: For a few of us Prowler was our first band back in 1979. We actually had the name and the vision before we could even play instruments. The aspect of returning to where you began becomes attractive. It’s a special time for us right now. We’re all good friends with a lot of history together. RRI: You guys came out with a bang booking a lot of shows right off the bat. Your set list primarily consists of classic rock tunes by artist like Def Leppard and Black Sabbath. What has the reaction been like from the younger crowd? Steve: We really weren’t actively seeking out shows. The only gigs we actually sought out were a few shows with Clark Colborn and Byronfest. We are truly grateful for the opportunities that have come our way. Jim: We have had a great response from the younger crowd.Alotofthemhavecomeuptousafterourshows and said they really enjoy hearing the music they grew up listening to from their parents and older siblings. Original rock from the ’70s and ’80s never gets old. Brian: I think we are pretty good at being young ourselves at least for an hour and a half (laughs). RRI: Back in the ’70s and ’80s local music stores and record shops were hangouts for area bands and aspiring musicians. I personally knew people that would spend entire Saturday and Sunday afternoons hanging out, trading riffs and chatting with one other. In your opinion how have times changed with the invention of social media? Dan: The one thing that I remember the most is all of the musicians and bands used to put messages and want ads on the bulletin boards at local music stores. Now it’s all on different social media sites. Brian: It’s a double-edged sword really. The amount of content you can share with your friends and fans is insane but there is something special about physically seeking out your favorite bands that make it special. Some of the excitement gets lost in the digital world RRI: Black Diamond Music in Freeport is releasing a Christmas album featuring local artists. I understand Prowler recorded a song for it. Tell us how it turned out. Dan: The folks at Black Diamond have been a real

pleasure to work with. The song we did turned out great. The album will be available soon and we will let everyone know how to get a copy. Brian: I think we surprised ourselves. The spontaneity really added to the vibe. RRI: Local Craft Brew master and friend Matt Skorniak made a limited batch of Prowler Porter Beer using ingredients that he believes capture the essence of the band. Rumor has it that real bits of Black Panther fur were used in the process. Thoughts? Steve: Matt did an awesome job of creating this special beer for us. As for the Black Panther fur, we don’t believe it has any of that but it definitely has some claws. Brian: We can’t divulge any secret ingredients but we can say that any panthers that may have been used in the process were treated humanely and returned to their natural habitat (laughs).

RRI: I’m going to say a word or phrase and you reply with the first thing that pops into your heads. RRI: The former Anytime Club on Auburn street. Dan: Was a cool place to play in the late ’80s and always packed. RRI: WYBR Y95 (former Rockford Radio station). Jim: Y95 rocked. One of the best memories was the Y95 album that showcased local bands. RRI: The annual Mother’s Day Concerts at Anna Page Park. Dan: Always a blast. Brian: Fun Times. Bring it back. RRI: Where can we find more information on Prowler? Prowler: On our Facebook page, reverbnation. com, or come out to a show and ask us in person.

RAAC seeks help from the community By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

C A weekend packed with holiday cheer By Anne E. O’Keefe Rockford Area Arts Council

t’s hard to believe it is the 20th year for J.R. Sullivan’s Hometown Holiday (jrsullivanhometownholiday.com). It’s a fresh, new show with an incredible cast including: Linda Abronski, E. Faye Butler, Jeff Christian, Rhett Guter, Megon McDonough, Randy Sabien, Marcella Rose Sciotto, Daniel Patrick Sullivan, Stephen F. Vrtol and Shawn Wallace. Because Sullivan is so warmly regarded, he has an equallyimpressivecrewtopulloffthisamazingshow: Gerrie Gustafson, Cindy Jo Lantz, Laurie Oliver, Holland Zander, Bruce Hammond, Dave Heddon, Jan Bacino, Lani Howard Richardson and Claudette

Pirello. I volunteered to help create the magical wonderland one year and have a new appreciation for the hard work and long hours that go into this production to bring an evening of wonderment to the audience. Supporting sponsors GrahamSpencer and WNIU/WNIJ with assistance of the Rockford Area Arts Council are also appreciated. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m. in the Sullivan Theater of the Nordlof Center. Tickets, at $25 each, are on sale now at the BMO Harris Bank Center and Coronado Performing Arts Center Box Offices, at ticketmaster. com, or by calling 815-968-0595 (service fees will apply).

Sunday, the Rockford Wind Ensemble will be doing their holiday show, also at the Nordlof earlier in the afternoon. RWE’s performance is at 1:30 p.m. There is no reserved seating for Rockford Wind Ensemble concerts but as you know all of the seats at the Nordlof Center are great seats.

The Rock Valley Children’s Choir presents, Brightest and Best, A Cumberland Christmas on Sunday evening at 7 p.m. at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 3300 Rural Street. This 14th annual Holidays and Holy Days concert is built around the Christmas music of the Appalachian Mountains. Director Leah Baskin states, “We’re particularly proud to have Randy Sabien come all the way from Minnesota and join us in concert this year. With 11 solo albums and over 30 guest album appearances, this Prairie Home Companion regular is a special treat for the choirs to work with. His guitar, violin, voice, musicianship and good humor are just right for combining with young singers.” If you wish to experience an old-fashioned Christmas you may curl up in front of your fireplace with your favorite beverage and tune in Sunday night at 6 p.m. to WNIJ 89.5 for A Christmas Carol, the radio play presented by Artists’ Ensemble (artistsensemble.org). Please remember giving the gift of the arts this holiday season builds life long memories. Visit artsforeveryone.com for a list of organizations who will help your holiday season be bright.

ontributors are like snowflakes, no two are the same. You mRockford-Area-Arts-Councilay support the Rockford Area Arts Council because you enjoy seeing new artwork from local artists at ArtScene, or you may be involved with an organization RAAC works with to bring the arts to everyone. You may know a young person whose life has been changed by one of our programs, like ArtsPlace. I would like to tell you about Thomas, an ArtsPlace Apprentice. Thomas came to us because his guidance counselor saw untapped potential in a young man that would blossom in the right environment. The counselor explained that Thomas had been placed in foster care and was wirthdrawn and not engaged in school. Art was the only class he was interested in although his skills were rudimentary. Thomas was accepted into the program and then we received a call from his art teacher concerned about how the other ArtsPlace apprentices would treat him having been the target of teasing and ridicule by classmates. We assured the teacher that we establish a safe and encouraging environment for everyone at ArtsPlace. Thomas started the program as a very withdrawn young man, not making eye contact or speaking to anyone but the arts instructor, who he graciously accepted help from. By the end of the program Thomas was engaged with fellow apprentices and said, “thank you for letting me come to ArtsPlace. Can I come back next year?” The counselor followed up at the end of the academic year very pleased to say now everyone knew Thomas. Thomas decided to give the dance team a try and with great success. He currently dances with the Rockford Dance Co. performance troupe. ArtsPlace has built his confidence level which is only topped by his smile. He is “Mr. Awesome,” just like his business card reads. “ArtsPlace means a lot to me because if it wasn’t for ArtsPlace I would not be where I am now. ArtsPlace helped me with my art and showed me how to be creative and to be yourself and come up with ideas of how you can make it [your art] better.” RAAC is not unique in that it is facing great uncertainty with the state budget hanging in the balance. We need your support now more than ever. It will help us continue the mission we are so passionate about, arts for everyone!

A unique look at a familiar story By Thomas Simpson

M Contributor

ary Shelley’s classic story Frankenstein has inspired more than its fair share of big screen adaptations. It’s a timeless tale that few won’t know so does it really need another outing? Victor Frankenstein focuses less on the monster and its peril, opting to concentrate more on its creators, presented as a Frankenstein Begins of sorts. At least it promises to offer something different. James McAvoy is cast as the mad scientist, Victor Frankenstein. While attending the circus, a freak accident injures a performer. As he attends her, Victor discovers that the hunchback clown (Daniel Radcliffe) is a skilled physician behind his freakish exterior. Recognizing the extraordinary talent the clown has, Victor helps him escape the circus and adopts him as his assistant, giving him a new life complete with a name, Igor. The duo work together with an insane goal – create life. While Igor wrestles with his morality, Victor is obsessed with his work. Unfortunately for the duo they are under police investigation led by the God fearing Inspector Turpin (Andrew Scott). There is an air of absurdity about Victor Frankenstein that helps make it a fun ride. The

first 15 minutes is frantic and exciting with tongue firmly inserted in cheek. There is a comic book tone to the film, which is a trademark of screenwriter Max Landis. Despite this being an original script (albeit based on the famous novel) it feels like a comic book adaptation.

Director Paul McGuigan returns for his first feature since 2009’s Push and hasn’t missed a beat. He injects a frenetic pace to the film that beautifully compliments the mindset of the titular character. It’s slick and snappy but with depth, even if the undertones becomes less

subtle throughout. By the end McGuigan and Landis are beating the audience over the head with the subtext. There is a campy feel to the style that invites audiences to find the proceedings amusing, despite the severity of the themes. In the third act the tone shifts considerably and events play out like a more traditional horror. It’s effective yet rushed in a way that it made me wanting more time spent on this scene. As talented as those behind the camera are, it’s worth seeing for McAvoy’s performance alone. He’s gloriously over the top as he chews the scenery. Every line, regardless how ridiculous, is captivating, his eyes portraying the sheer madness of the classic literary villain. Radcliffe more than holds his own yet his Igor is more the straight man in this double act. Their chemistry onscreen is undeniable. Victor Frankenstein is familiar enough to be associated with Shelley’s novel while staying fresh enough to not feel tired. There is a little dip around the halfway mark but the explosive action of the third act will keep you interested. Although there isn’t much screen time for the monster, it is a unique take on the relationship between the creator and his creation. Thomas Simpson is a writer and filmmaker based in Glasgow, U.K. Find him on Twitter: @Simmy 41.

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 Greg Locascio of Sycamore, Illinois took third place in the Three-Minute Fiction competition with “The Last Adventure”.

“The Last Adventure” by Greg Locascio

The room underneath the stage of the old Maggio Theater was an ideal practice space for a metal band. Cheap rent. No neighbors around to complain about the noise. Sure, it smelled of mildew and the bathroom was just a toilet cordoned off by a sheet, but its shabby appearance fit the band’s devil-may-care ethos. After practice one Wednesday, the Hep Kats were hanging out, sitting on a moldering couch. Carl was coming back from the bathroom, a little

tipsy, and tripped over a cord. He fell into the wall. No. He fell through the wall, disappearing in a light whoomp. A moment later, he reappeared, dusty and embarrassed, but uninjured. Jim peered in the hole and lit his lighter. “It’s a tunnel,” he said. “Let’s check it out!” Quincy said. “Anyone with me?” No one was game. “Wusses!” Quincy said, and disappeared through the hole. A minute later he came back, his voice filled with excitement. “It goes for about 50 feet to a crawl space,” he said. “That’s weird,” Jim said. “Well, hey, it’s getting late. I gotta work in the morning.” “Remember Maquoketa Caves?” Quincy said. “Yeah,” Carl said. “You were filthy when you came back to camp.” The Iowa state park has a big cavern with a lit boardwalk. Most visitors check that out. Quincy was the only one in the group to bring elbow and

knee pads, a head lamp, and a back up flashlight, to explore the many other smaller caves. Quincy left the theater with his band mates, but returned 20 minutes later dressed in old clothes and with all his caving gear. The crawl space was clammy. Quincy could see his breath. His thoughts returned to Maquoketa. Most of the caves there were short. The last one of the day appeared to be the same, a boulder field descending to a wall. But then Quincy heard the sound of running water and looked off to one side. There was a small opening, as large as the one he was in now, and when he went through it, he discovered a network of other tunnels and spent the next hour and a half exploring. He emerged after dark, wet, cold, hungry, but… exultant. Tenacious curiosity had brought a big reward. Where would this crawl space lead? Would he end up somewhere in the old theater? Would it connect to some sewer lines? After about 200 feet

of going straight, it turned sharp right and ended up at a pipe, slightly smaller. Quincy barely fit. He shimmied through on his belly. A slime covered the inside of the pipe. It smelled fishy. The air was warmer. Just like at Maquoketa, Quincy heard the sound of running water. He emerged from the pipe after another 100 feet in what looked like a nexus point. It was big enough to stand up in. Tunnels of various sizes led off in all directions. One had water running out of it. He looked down and saw bones. Toothpick mouse bones. Larger bones. A dog? And then he saw something that flooded him with electric adrenaline. A human skull. This wasn’t a nexus point. This was a lair. And whatever lived here had fed on human flesh. Then Quincy heard a low groan. He looked up and there, in the largest tunnel, two eyes reflected back, as big as dessert plates. They blinked. Quincy’s flesh betrayed him. Fear locked him in place. It didn’t matter. The tentacles that came into view were moving too fast.

Good tidings from British programs By Paula Hendrickson

it involves a cannibalistic serial killer. Yes, Luther can be very disturbing, and the content isn’t for everyone. But Elba’s performance is what most fans, and critics, love about the show. The crimes he investigates aren’t really any more disturbing that you’d find on a typical episode of Criminal Minds, but because it’s basically a recurring mini-series—often with years between new installments (the last “season” was 2013)—Luther takes the time to tell each story over the course of a couple hours. That allows the audience a better glimpse of how each case impacts Luther’s damaged psyche. On a lighter note, this year’s Christmas episode of Doctor Who reunites The Doctor (currently played by Peter Capaldi) with his wife, River Song (Alex Kingston) in an episode titled, The Husbands of River Song. Considering River died the first time we met her, that’s quite a feat. At this point there are no spoilers in revealing their timelines have never really been in sync. We haven’t seen River interact with this Doctor yet, but given the larger-than-life characters, the actors portraying them, and the fact that it’s a Christmas special, you can be sure it will be a fun romp through space and time. My DVR is set for this month’s British invasion. Is yours?

Television Columnist

he next couple weeks bring great tidings for American fans of British popular culture. First, Adele comes to NBC with a concert taped in New York last month. A few days later, Idris Elba finally returns to BBC America as the titular character in the latest installment of the addictive psychological police thriller, Luther. And, as always, there is the annual Doctor Who Christmas episode coming up on Christmas Day. What more could an Anglophile want for this holiday season—other than a giant screen high-definition television with surround sound to complete their viewing pleasure? Adele Live in New York City will include highlights of the singer’s first concert in four years. Unfortunately, it’s only an hourlong special instead of the entire concert, but it will include some behind-the-scenes footage the concertgoers weren’t privy to. The one-night only performance took place at Radio City Music Hall, but viewers will also get a sneak peak at what went into mounting the show. Meanwhile on BBC America Elba’s Detective Chief Inspector John Luther is perhaps the ultimate heroic anti-hero. What do I mean by that? The self-destructive cop often goes to extremes to catch killers, but unlike most anti-heroes, he’s not doing it for his own benefit. He simply does whatever it necessary, hopeful that the ends will justify the means. Luther will be lucky to retain his sanity given some of the cases he’s seen. The new one, which lures Luther even deeper into the abyss, sounds especially gruesome since

Programming Notes:

•Adele Live in New York City airs Monday at 9 p.m. on NBC. •Luther returns Thursday, December 17 at 8 p.m. on BBC America. •The Doctor Who Christmas special airs Friday, December 25 at 8 p.m. on BBC America. Find Paula on Twitter: @P_Hendrickson.

Commentary

Election tampering threatens democracy

By Nancy Churchill

D Contributor

espite his boorishness, despite threatening to end Kinect (the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange providing care to hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians), and despite trailing in the polls leading up to the election, Republican Matt Bevin mysteriously trounced Democrat Jack Conway on November 3. Critics blame weak turnout among Democrats. I suspect something more sinister. What if those polls weren’t actually turned around? What if it wasn’t lack of Democratic turnout, but voting machine tampering that gave Bevin the election? That might explain the difference between the polls and the final vote. I mean, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, might it not be a duck? Election tampering has been a concern of mine since the advent of computers. Various allegations over the years have been hushed quickly, not pursued in the media. According to Victoria Collier [truth-out.org/ news/item/27204-computerized-vote-riggingis-still-the-unseen-threat-to-american-democracy-it-s-time-to-change-the-system?tsk=adminpreview], “Harper’s Magazine published a cover story ‘How to Rig an Election,’ … detailing the hidden threat to democracy posed by our electronic vote counting systems. Easily rigged and hacked, these computers are controlled by a handful of shady corporations, some with criminal records, who fight to keep their vote-counting software a ‘trade secret.’” Progressive.org weighed in on the subject with this [progressive.org/news/2014/06/187724/ national-call-link-arms-democracy]: “We know

we are under siege. Less clearly understood is how the oligarchs achieved their goals of privatization, a disempowered workforce and a weakened populace. “A variety of dirty strategies have been deployed to fully subvert ‘government of the people, by the people and for the people.’ All around the country, and particularly in states like North Carolina, Michigan, Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin, they have gerrymandered elec-

toral districts, suppressed millions of votes, and outright rigged and stolen high-stakes elections. Now, they are attempting to further rig blue states by changing Electoral College rules from winner-take-all to proportional representation. Meanwhile, the activist right-wing Supreme Court’s anti-democratic decisions that money equals speech and corporations are persons have ensured that voters are out-gunned by billions of corporate dollars unleashed into the bribery

system known as campaign financing.” I’m an utter cynic when it comes to trusting that elections cannot be rigged. I believe the silence is deliberate. We owe it to ourselves to get to the bottom of this, an uphill battle in today’s climate. It’s up to us to expose this hypocrisy and elect only politicians like Bernie Sanders, who cannot be bought, to make sure our elections are not simply a sham. Find out more at democracymovement.us.

TV turns its target on black viewers What The Wiz Live! tells us about race and TV advertising By Kelli Marshall

DePaul University

or two hours on a Saturday night in 1955, TV viewers in Harlem turned off their television sets, a boycott meant to send a message to the nation’s broadcasting networks. The reason? According to NAACP Vice President Odell Clarke (quoted in a February 21, 1955 St Petersburg Times article), blacks had been “almost totally excluded from employment in the radio and television industry.” Sixty years later, Clarke, along with the thousands in Harlem who tuned out that night in February, would have likely seen a small victory in The Wiz Live! The primetime television special – an R&B reinterpretation of The Wizard of Oz that aired on NBC last Thursday evening – featured an all-black cast. In a TV landscape dominated by white actors, The Wiz Live! was a welcome sight for many watching. Audiences also observed a difference during commercial breaks: an increase in the number of advertisements targeting black viewers. One viewer wondered if she were the only one noticing “the abundance of black people placed in these commercials.” According to the reaction on social media, she wasn’t. A Rutgers professor confessed that the commercials – which featured black actors, along with black celebrities like Brandy, Stevie Wonder, Mary J Blige, Kerry Washington and D L Hughley – were “giving her life.” It’s “all Black everythang,” she happily concluded. Meanwhile, another viewer “loved all the demo-specific ads,” while a Texas mom noted, “All ethnic programming and ads get play tonight.” Finally, a recent college grad tweeted, “I’ve actually never seen so many black ads in my life.” If so many people noticed the commercials, there must have been a significant spike in ads targeting black consumers, right? So how many did The Wiz Live! feature? Well, let’s count: over the course of The Wiz Live!’s 165 minutes, approximately 127 commercials aired. During each of the 13 commercial breaks, we saw an average of 10 ads. Fewer than 10 (of the 127) ads were local. (For me, in Chicago, the local ads promoted news, businesses and theater.) Some of the companies that featured allblack casts and/or recognized a black cultural

‘Shows like The Wiz Live! certainly help change the status quo. But the entertainment and marketing industries have a long way to go.’ experience were BET, AARP, Toyota, NBC for The Carmichael Show, Apple Music, Walmart, Value City Furniture and McDonald’s (this ad, featuring Tom Joyner and D L Hughley, ran three times during the live event). One might also argue that Reddi-Whip reached out to black viewers with its commercial and that NBC’s ads for its upcoming series Telenovela, featuring Eva Longoria as the star of a Spanish soap opera, were aimed at people of color. So, yes, the numbers seem promising. But actually, of the 120 commercials (local ones excluded), only 13 targeted black audiences by my count – which amounts to roughly 10 percent. What does this mean? First, American TV viewers are so accustomed to seeing white people selling products that when they see a

shift – even if it’s a small one – it’s (shamefully) pronounced. Such a variation, I imagine, is what prompted one viewer to comment during The Wiz Live!, “What if there were this many black ads all the time? What if seeing black folk was normalized?” Second, if The Wiz Live! were an event popular with African-American audiences – and, according to Nielsen, it was – the percentage of ads targeting blacks apparently hasn’t budged much in the last few years. For example, a 2009 content analysis of ads that aired during the 10 highest-rated network primetime programs watched by African Americans found that only 8.5 percent featured all-black casts. During these same shows, 46.2 percent showcased all-white casts, with racially integrated casts making up the other 45.3 percent.

The New Yorker’s Emily Nussbaum recently wrote about P Jay Sidney, a largely forgotten African-American actor who spent his entire career lamenting the underrepresentation of blacks in the television industry. Nussbaum quotes a 1954 column penned by Sidney, which appeared in the Amsterdam News: “…by not including Negroes in at least approximately the numbers and the roles in which they occur in American life, television and radio programs that purport to give a true picture of American life malign and misrepresent Negro citizens as a whole.” Today, could we say that a true picture of American life is broadcast into our living rooms? Shows like The Wiz Live! certainly help change the status quo. But the entertainment and marketing industries have a long way to go. TheConversation.com

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of Dec. 9-15, 2015

This Week: The planets may be a little aggravated, but that doesn’t mean we need to feed into their influences. Combative emotions need to be snuffed out instead of ignited during this time. Be conscious of what you’re exposing yourself to. If social media or the news is creating negative emotions, read a book instead. Enjoy. Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Good news arrives surrounding your work environment midweek. Expansions within the current structure appear to have a rippling affect on everyone involved. Make sure you’re expressing your gratitude for a job well done with your clients and co-workers. An impromptu gathering by week’s end turns out to be a smashing success, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— You’re able to finalize a long-drawn-out project or relationship that has been in limbo for quite some time now. This wasn’t an easy task considering all of the participants that were involved. Fortunately for you timing is everything and your timing is excellent during this lunar cycle. Use this to your advantage, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Romantic elements may be put to the test early on this week. Take into consideration all of the aspects and observe outside influences. By week’s end you have the ability to put everything back into place. Until then think before you speak. You do not want to put yourself in a position of having to backtrack all of your thoughts and feelings, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — A lucky break arrives this week in the form of a financial aspect. Perhaps a client or family member comes into a windfall. They may be more than willing to share their good fortune with you. If by week’s end you see no evidence of this, be patient. This aspect is on the way shortly. You will reap the benefits, as well as have the opportunity to celebrate the good fortune of another, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — A big-ticket item or a major sale is about to take place at this time. You can receive the blessings that you are entitled to at this time. You have put in a tremendous amount of hard work over the last few months and now it’s time for you to shine. The payoff is sweet and it’s all yours, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) —If you feel as though you have been on a dull or mundane wavelength emotionally, expect the unexpected at this time. People will be crawling out of the woodwork to connect with you. Try not to become overwhelmed, instead step up to the plate and accept every single expression of love and validation. Who cares where it’s

coming from, it’s yours for the taking, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — A change within your residence or work environment is on the forefront now. Keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities arriving during this lunar cycle. Meanwhile your personal relationships may need a little bit of TLC. Be cautious of what you bring voice to at this time, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Pay close attention to your finances at this time and set some money aside for a rainy day. An upgrade with your current work environment may be available shortly, so throw your hat into the ring. Long-distance communication arrives by week’s end, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Even though the month started out with one step forward and two steps back, you still were able to gain significant ground for the long haul. Diversity within your career sector breaks up the monotony you have experienced in the recent past. Romantic options appear out of nowhere, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Romance is in the air this week. You can see the future and it looks as though you have found your

fit. This may take time to manifest but you’re on the right path now. Midweek you make a connection for a long-term goal. Career is accentuated at this time. Lucky breaks are in store for you now, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Expansions with career and acceptance of your gifts will become apparent at this time. New faces and new elements will ignite your creative side and line your pocketbook with the best possible windfalls. To be generously paid for something that you love to do is everyone’s wish and everyone’s entitlement. It’s your turn to shine now, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Be cautious during travel at this time. You may also want to make sure that your cell phone is on in case you need to help another that has experienced a travel setback or calamity. You may need to be the hero this week, but in the long-run this offers you emotional satisfaction. Romance begins to heat up. You’re on the right path by month’s end, Pisces.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

Maintenance,

M Light Machining,

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs. Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay. Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability. Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline. Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills. Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Natural Solutions For Gallbladder Issues By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. People suffering from gallbladder attacks and or gallstones know that the abdominal pain associated with it can be excruciating. Gallbladder attacks that are left untreated can cause pancreatitis. When it is triggered, gallbladder pain usually starts in the center or upper right area of the abdomen and can spread to the back or shoulder area. Nausea, vomiting and lack of appetite can occur. These symptoms are often triggered by eating fatty foods but I have discovered though out my practice is the fatty foods accompanied with starches. The liver/gallbladders job is to break down fats and proteins but when accompanied with starches this job is too hard for these organs. That is why pancreatitis occurs. The gallbladder stores excess bile that is not immediately needed. Bile facilitates in the digestion of fats and is released from the gallbladder into the duodenum in response to food. When you eat meat or fats, the liver produces more bile which is then stored in the gallbladder. However I f the person eats too much too fast this sends a signal to the liver to produce more bile. There may be too much bile accumulated than the gallbladder ca handle. This accumulated bile can then lead to the formation pf gallstones within the gallbladder or the bile duct. Gallstones generally form in the gallbladder however they may also form in the hepatic flexure. When people come to me to help them with a natural gallbladder cleanse, a colonic before and then a follow-up colonic after the natural cleanse is a must for stones can lodge in the hepatic flexure. It is amazing to see the cholesterol stones that come out of you when you do a natural cleanse. I have clients that bring them in the size of a golf ball and are shocked they do not feel them. I explain that they are fat and that is why they do not feel them. The actual size of the stone that comes out if it is the size of a golf ball is filled with many stones that are clustered to be that size. Most stones are

the size of peas and the color will tell me if they are new or old. Cholesterol stones are the most common account for 80% of all cases. These stones develop from excess cholesterol in bile. Pigment stones comprise about 15% of gallstones these are formed by the crystallization of calcium billirubinate due to the liver producing too much bile. In some cases the gallbladder may have sandy particles and then there is the gallbladder sludge. These are small particles of waste that have not actually developed into gallstones. They may be worse than gallstones because they can easily clog up the bile duct and more easily migrate and cause more problems. I find in my practice and talking to other naturopathic practitioners, that gallbladder issues occur more often in women and I have put together over here that estrogen plays a big factor in this. Estrogen causes increased cholesterol secretion and progesterone causing bile stasis. If estrogen is elevated I see cholesterol also increases. I have also put together in my practice that the use of HRT and birth control pills also increases cholesterol concentration in bile and, of course, being overweight. Removing the gallbladder to me is not always the answer. I have clients that have told me that if they knew what their life would be worth after the surgery they would never have done the surgery. that is why I try very hard to educate people on cleanses and detoxes. We do not have replacement parts like our vehicles so we need to take care of them. If I can help you with any of your gallbladder issues or if you are seeing your liver and cholesterol numbers are going up and want to take care of this with a proper diet and supplement, please feel free to call me and make an appointment. Julia Michniewicz is a Naturopathic Doctor who had breast cancer and did not do the chemical therapy or radiation. You may reach her in her Rockford office at 815-962-3326 to schedule and appointment.

An introduction to backyard grains By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

While fruits and vegetables are the most common backyard crops, grains are an additional crop that can be grown on a small scale and produce fairly well depending on the type of grain you choose. Wheat, barley, oats, buckwheat, and others can be grown in small plots of 10 feet by 10 feet, harvested by hand, and used in your kitchen. From a local foods standpoint, local grains are one of the last remaining pieces of the local food diet. Most grains you will grow have similar soil needs. They want good drainage, weed free beds, acidic-neutral pH (6.2-7.5), and a smooth soil bed. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had success in a small space, grains should grow just fine there. If wanting to grow grains in a new space in your backyard, consider getting a soil test which can give you the pH, soil organic matter, phosphorus, and potassium. Most small backyard spaces can work well for

a bed the size of 10-by-10 or 20 feet by 5 feet. This roughly translates into a 100 square foot bed which can be very manageable. It can also allow you to better control weeds or any other problems if need be. Yields from a 10-by-10 bed can vary considerably. Depending on the harvesting process, a plot this size of wheat may yield 4 lbs of grain, 14 cups of flour to even 26 lbs of grain, 90 cups of flour. Among other grains, this same area can yield a low of 3 lbs of Oats to a high of 24 lbs of Barley. Much of this is due to the seasonal management, spacing, and harvest. The intimidation with growing backyard grains lies in the harvest process. If growing grains for flour, you need to invest in a small tabletop mill that can process the grain into flour. Some grains like buckwheat, barley, and oats have a hull to them which must be removed before the grain can be cooked. This can be laborious and require special machinery to crush and remove the hull. There is a hulless oat variety that you should seek out. Next week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discuss more growing these crops.

LOOKING FOR A

Ethanol production and corn consumption prospects for 2016 By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) indicate that U.S. production of fuel ethanol totaled 14.313 billion gallons during the 2014 calendar year. That quantity is 1.02 billion gallons more than produced in 2013 and about 384 million gallons more than the previous record production in 2011. University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good provided the analysis of ethanol production and corn consumption prospects for 2016 that follows. For the first nine months of 2015, EIA monthly estimates indicate that domestic ethanol production was 3.6 percent larger than during the same period in 2014. Weekly EIA estimates indicate that ethanol production in October and November this year exceeded that of a year ago by 3.1 percent. Production in December is expected to be slightly smaller than the record monthly production of 1.295 billion gallons in December 2014. For the year, ethanol production will likely be at least 3 percent larger than in 2014, reaching about 14.745 billion gallons. Production at that level will require about 5.25 billion bushels of feedstock, mostly corn, for conventional ethanol production in 2015. Estimates of domestic ethanol consumption are based on EIA estimates of the volume of fuel ethanol production, imports, exports, and changes in domestic stock levels. Consumption was a record 13.444 billion gallons in 2014. Of that total, about 13.353 billion gallons was conventional ethanol made almost entirely from corn. Consumption during the first nine months of 2015 was 4 percent larger than during the same period last year. Consumption for the year is on pace to reach 13.982 billion gallons, with about 13.897 billion gallons being conventional ethanol. Domestic ethanol consumption during the year ahead will be influenced by two related factors. The first follows from the biofuels volume requirements in the EPA final rulemaking for 2014-2016 RFS standards released on Nov. 30. Those standards require18.11billiongallonsofbiofuelsconsumption in 2016, 1.18 billion more than required in 2015 and 710 million gallons more than in the preliminary rulemaking released in May. The requirement for advanced biofuels was set at 3.61 billion gallons, 730 million more than the 2015 requirement and 380 million more than was required in the preliminary rulemaking. The difference between the total and the advanced requirement is the implied requirement for conventional biofuel (ethanol). The conventional requirement is referred to as an implied requirement because it can also be satisfied with discretionary blending of advanced biofuels. That implied requirement is at 14.5 billion gallons for 2016, up from 14.05 billion gallons in 2015 and 14.0 billion

gallons in the preliminary rulemaking for 2016. The second and related factor that will influence domestic ethanol consumption is the expected level of domestic gasoline consumption because the blending requirements are actually enforced as a fraction of gasoline consumption. Based on EIA projections, consumption is expected to increase from 139.38 billion gallons in 2015 to 139.96 billion gallons in 2016. That expected increase of 580 million gallons follows an expected increase of 2.9 billion gallons in 2015. The conventional ethanol mandate of 14.5 billion gallons reflects an expected small increase in the E-10 blend wall and a “push” to include larger quantities of higher ethanol blends (E-15 and E-85) in the domestic fuel supply. If the 2016 gasoline consumption forecast is correct, the E-10 blend wall will be 13.996 billion gallons.Becausesomegasolineisconsumedwithout ethanol and some with higher ethanol blends, the effective E-10 blend wall is thought to be 13.856 billion gallons (9.9 percent of gasoline consumption). A portion of the 13.856 billion gallons will be provided in the form of advanced ethanol, including cellulosic, but mostly imported Brazilian ethanol. The EPA projects consumption of advanced ethanol in 2015 at only 85 million gallons. We estimate that about 70 million gallons of that total will be Brazilian ethanol. That consumption is projected to increase to 249 million gallons in 2016 based on much larger imports of Brazilian ethanol in response to changing fuel standards in California. That would leave the conventional ethanol E-10 blend wall at 13.607 billion gallons. In addition to E-10, however, some ethanol will be consumed in higher blends, mostly E-85. The EPA has projected E-85 consumption in 2016 at 400 million gallons. That would be equivalent to 296 million gallons of ethanol, assuming an average blend of 74 percent ethanol. Total consumption of conventional ethanol would be projected at 13.903 billion gallons, essentially the same as consumed in 2015. The difference between the RFS requirement of 14.5 billion gallons and the projected consumption of 13.903 billion gallons (597 million gallons) would have to be met with some combination of retirement of RINs stocks, additional quantities of E-85, or blending of additional quantities of advanced biofuels. If ethanol exports in 2016 are near the level of 2015 and there is no change in the level of ethanol stocks in 2016, the projected level of domestic consumption of conventional ethanol in 2016 points to about the same requirement for conventional ethanol feedstock (mostly corn) in 2016 as in 2015. This outcome is very different from the initial reaction that an increase in the implied conventional ethanol requirement from the preliminary to final rulemaking for 2016 of 500 million gallons would result in a measurable increase in feedstock consumption.

Energy & Environment

Steps to reduce global carbon emissions By Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

fter years of watching disappointing efforts at initiating global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we have embraced the philosophy that we too are nonrenewable resources and should not invest too much of ourselves in expecting a global embrace of protecting the environment. Yet no one can afford to ignore what is happening as global agreements have powerful effects on our everyday lives. We appreciate Northern Public Radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coverage of the Paris climate talks and will share impressions as the talks unfold. The outcome of the conference remains unknown at the writing of this article. In an interview with Steve Curwood, Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned Scientists thought an agreement would be reached among participating nations. He hoped the large gap that exists between what nations had already agreed to do and what still must be done quickly to stay under the 2 degrees Celsius limit will be recognized. Even within the limit, greenhouse gas emissions may have reached a level where irreversible adverse impacts could occur. We are already experiencing rising sea levels, droughts, flooding and other climate impacts which will require financing to adapt to and cope with what has already occurring and increasing. To avoid the worst impacts of climate change we must be well on our way to decarbonizing the global economy by 2050. In an interview, a representative of Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Climate Institute pointed that out operating the 2,400 new coal power plants planned or being built globally could possibly raise temperatures to

twice the level deemed essential to reach by 2040. The study recommends that no more coal fired power plants should be built. However, a representative from India indicated they need new coal plants to help raise millions of people out of poverty while calling for a trillion dollar investment in solar energy by 2030 to help developing countries increase their reliance on clean energy sources. Although street demonstrations planned by protest groups were cancelled NPR gave some visibility to their views. Demonstrators called for a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and want 80 percent of remaining fossil fuels to stay in the ground. They also expressed doubt that real commitments to reducing emissions will be forthcoming as those negotiating the agreements represent powerful corporate and national interests. While we await the outcomes of the Paris negotiations what is becoming increasingly apparent is that local people have many opportunities to take actions on their own to reduce their carbon footprints. Some people have dramatically cut their consumption through energy efficiency. Others have installed solar systems. Hybrid and electric cars offer additional opportunities to embrace cleaner energy sources. Some people with existing solar electric systems are considering ways to use more of the solar electricity they produce in their own homes by installing battery storage systems. As the cost of batteries continues to fall customers will find more ways to use more of the electricity they produce to meet their own needs. As our Renewable Energy and Sustainability Fairs have demonstrated communities and businesses are embracing efficiency and renewable energy. Their acceptance and use is increasing.

Voices from the Grave

The mysterious death of Svea Olson

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

veryone who knew Svea Olson said she had chosen the right career. Svea was in her second year at St. Anthony’s School of Nursing. Her roommate and patients all stated that Svea’s natural cheerfulness brightened up whatever room she entered. Many of the bedridden patients at the hospital claimed that Svea had a special gift of bringing hope to those patients that had none. Svea was busy with school but she always made time for her friends and family. On Tuesday, September 18, 1923, Svea left St. Anthony for one of her regular visits to the family’s home on 9th Street. Her parents, John and Maria Olson were well known in the Rockford Community. They moved to Rockford in 1896 from Sweden. John first obtained employment in the furniture factories before he and Maria opened the Olson Restaurant on 14th Avenue. The visits with Svea’s family always passed too quickly and she seemed reluctant to leave that night. Her sister offered to walk with her to the 7th Street car line and the girls chatted on the way. Svea caught the 7th Street car and turned around to smile and wave goodbye to her sister, neither of them knowing it would be the last time they would see each other. Later that evening at around 10 p.m., the staff at St. Anthony was startled by a man walking into the emergency department carrying a woman in his arms. They questioned him about his name and the identity of the girl but he had no answers for them. They grabbed the girl to transfer her onto a gurney and the man fled. The girl was beyond all help and she was pronounced dead immediately. The staff recognized her as one of the student nurses and an investigation into her last hours began. Svea roomed at the nurse’s quarters and her fellow students were questioned. They all stated that Svea had no enemies or boyfriends. She was a dedicated daughter and student that spent her time with family or on her studies. Coroner Fred C. Olson worked hard to determine the cause of Svea’s death. There was no trace of drugs, poison, or liquor in her stomach or blood. Her family reported that she had some issues with heart palpitations but nothing that was of any concern. The 24-year-old girl had

no marks or other signs to indicate violence. The doctors and investigators were completely baffled by her death. Police pleaded with the public for some information into the identity of the man in the car. Several witnesses stepped forward to say they saw a car matching the description the St. Anthony staff had given. They stated they saw the car stop alongside women that were walking in the area of 7th Street. They couldn’t hear the conversation but saw the women shaking their head as if declining an offer for a ride. Family members and friends all were certain that Svea would never accept a ride from a stranger. The investigation into the death ground to a complete halt very quickly. The police and coroner worked on the theory that Svea had been picked up in the car and some struggle had occurred that resulted in her death. The family was left with only questions and no relief for their loss. Svea’s funeral was on September 22, 1923 in her family’s home on 9th Street. Over 2,000 people came through the house to pay their respects. Over 1,000 traveled to the Scandinavian Cemetery for the graveside service. Finally, in late November of 1923 police got a break. Robert Wells came forward to testify that he was walking in the neighborhood on that night in September when he spotted a man in a car matching the description given. The unidentified man pulled his car to the curb on East State Street just past the intersection of 7th Street. He then jumped out and ran to the sidewalk where a figure was on the ground. Wells approached the man to see if he could offer assistance. The man asked Wells to help him get the girl to the car. The rescuer stated that he saw the young lady collapse. He offered to drive the unconscious girl to St. Anthony Hospital where she would receive medical assistance. Wells helped the man place the girl into the car and watched him drive away. The police and coroner decided that Wells was telling the truth and filed Svea’s death as natural though they never found the exact cause of her death or the man who brought her to the hospital. They stated that she probably suffered issues with her heart even though they found no damage during the autopsy. The family would never know what happened to this beautiful, young girl who gave so much to everyone she knew.

‘The girl was beyond all help and she was pronounced dead immediately’

here is little experience more disappointing than going out on a cold snowy morning, scraping the ice and snow off your windshield, then having the engine only turn over once, groan, then click, click, click as the battery refuses to do any more work. Now you are going to be late for work. You start thinking about who you can call at 7 a.m. who might have jumper cables and is willing to come rescue you. Your day is literally not starting well. Batteries seem to always pick the most inconvenient place and time to let us down. But the truth is usually they have been trying to tell us that they are worn out and tired for some time. Do the headlight seem dim when the engine is idling? Has it been a bit slower to turn over? Was there a warning light about the battery on? If any of these things are happening, you need to replace the battery before it totally lets you down in a bad place or time. You won’t save any money by putting it off – in fact it will cost you more since it may leave you with an urgent need to replace it with no opportunity to shop around for a better price. If the battery “sometimes” doesn’t start the car – your problem may be a bad connection. Particularly with older batteries that have caps for filling the fluid and terminals on top, there is a tendency for the acid fumes to form corrosion on the positive terminal. This makes for a bad connection and intermittent starting problems. Remove the terminal and clean up the battery post and cable with sandpaper or an inexpensive terminal cleaning tool. In a pinch, you can jab a straight blade screwdriver between the battery post and the cable connector to make a contact. But this is for a one time emergency get away – not a technique to put off doing the proper work. There can be other bad connections as well with the ground or at the starter. So these should be checked out before presuming an expensive battery is the problem. If your battery is suspect but still usable, go to any auto parts store and have a quick test done for free. Or take it to your mechanic for advice. Most auto parts stores will also do the labor of replacing the battery free if you purchase it there. If you do have an older battery with caps – carefully pry them off and look inside. There should be water visible. Add distilled water only – until it contacts the bottom of the neck inside the battery. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection – you are messing with acid. Don’t touch your clothes after touching a battery – or let the battery touch them as the acid will damage them. Wash up right away. But you are unlikely to find fill caps on your

battery. Most are “maintenance free” now and cannot be serviced. Since some still vent fumes, do not use one if the battery needs to be a sealed battery or an expensive AGM battery particularly if the battery is in the trunk. Replace batteries with exactly what the vehicle manufacturer recommends. That said – there are still many variables in how the batteries are made and between makers. Highest price does not necessarily mean a better battery. In the new January 2016 issue of Consumer Reports, they awarded 10 batteries from $80-$100 a better rating and/or deemed a best buy over batteries ranging up in price to $280. Ratings for cold cranking amps (CCA) don’t matter much any longer due to quick starting fuel injected cars that are using thinner oils year-round. CCA is more a marketing scheme than a real rating. “Reserve capacity” means much more – that is the battery’s ability to still start your vehicle after a long discharge, such as failing to turn your headlights off. Since nearly all batteries in the Consumer Reports testing rated either “very good” or “excellent,” you should have little concern with this when purchasing a battery. A complete discharge of your battery may cause it to lose as much as one-third of its life. So it is very important to turn off your headlights if that doesn’t happen automatically – or you may be spending a lot on batteries. Normally a battery should last you 4-6 years in our climate, shorter the further south you go as heat does more damage to batteries than cold. However, if a completely discharged battery sits in the cold long enough, it can freeze – and that will ruin the battery. If the vehicle is not in use, charge the battery at regular intervals to maintain the charge or bring it inside. I do the former for all my batteries – I charge them in place about once every month or two throughout the winter. It will mean far more to your ability to start your vehicle if it has clean winter appropriate oil in the engine. If you normally use 10W-40 oil (few do anymore) – see if you can put 5W-30 oil in your engine. That and perhaps a tune up which may consist of new spark plugs, plug wires and a distributor cap. Unlike the old days when this was done every year, new cars and new systems go 100,000 miles before needing a tune up. So just have a good mechanic check things out to see if all seems okay. No need to spend money if it won’t make any difference. Lastly, never throw a vehicle battery away. Being full of lead and acid, they are hazardous, but also recyclable. Most places selling batteries want your old battery as a “core” worth a few dollars. Even old batteries not being replaced can be taken to scrap yards and sold for a few dollars.

National Hockey League

Some just Kane’t get back on board ‘Patrick Kane is difficult to truly and fully enjoy watching this season, which is an absolute shame given the fact that is by far the best season of his career thus far.’

The streak is fun, but nauseating to some By Adam Hess

Contributor

llow me to very clear at the start of this column: Patrick Kane is not a criminal. I do not think he is a criminal, nor am I accusing nor convicting him of being a criminal. He was investigated for criminal charges this summer, and that investigation was dismissed without said criminal charges being brought against him. Patrick Kane is difficult to truly and fully enjoy watching this season, which is an absolute shame given the fact that is by far the best season of his career thus far. He is the best player in the league, bar none, leading the league in scoring and setting record for the longest point streak by an American NHL player and the Blackhawks record for longest point streak in team history. His streak sits at 22 games at time of writing and has potential to be at 23 by the time of print, if Kane can record a point against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night. Still, for many fans of the Blackhawks and NHL in general, there is a dark cloud that hangs over Patrick Kane and his accomplishments this season. He may not have been charged, but it’s hard to just move on from your favorite team’s star player – who was maybe your favorite player, as he was mine – being accused of a horrible crime. Maybe it’d be easier if the situation was a oneoff, the first time Kane was involved in any sort of questionable off-ice behavior, but it wasn’t. So it isn’t. Maybe it’d be easier if Kane hadn’t been pranced into training camp like nothing was different, if the Blackhawks hadn’t brought him in and pretended it was business as usual. But he was, and they did. So it isn’t.

“In every game there’s good and bad,” right tackle Kyle Long told chicagobears.com. “The ones that the bad outweighs the good are the ones obviously you end up on the lower end of things. It’s a tough pill to swallow; just a weird feeling after that game.” Allowing the 49ers to win in Chicago for the first time since 1974 was most likely the final nail in the coffin for any postseason hopes on the part of the Bears. While the December 20 trip to Minnesota

Patrick Kane spent the first few years of his career giving the Blackhawks and their fans reason not to trust him. By now you know about the cab driver in Buffalo and his Drink-o de Mayo in Wisconsin, so I won’t hash over those events again, but it’s safe to say that those events created doubt about Kane’s maturity. Then he spent the next few years giving the team and fans reason to have confidence that he was growing, maturing, and becoming a leader for the Blackhawks both on and off the ice. Then he brought all of that trust down by being accused of rape. Again, he wasn’t charged, and I’m not here to convict him of anything. But being a drunken fool is one thing; being suspected of committing a horrible crime against another human being is another. So Patrick Kane’s incredible success so far this season is awesome. Considering he’s the only player on the Blackhawks consistently producing, I hope it continues. And I’m very happy that there wasn’t enough evidence to suggest that he committed a rape, because that probably means he didn’t. But you’ll have to forgive me, and other fans like me, if I’m still hesitant to get right back to supporting and loving Kaner the way I did just six months ago.

is the only daunting matchup remaining on the schedule, running the table would leave the Bears 9-7 and most likely on the outside looking in on the playoffs. “In my experience in this league, it’s either a carnival after you win or it’s a crisis after you lose,” head coach John Fox told reporters Monday. “It’s just the nature of what we do. These guys are professionals; they understand that we still have a full quarter left of the season. “The worst you can you finish is 5-11, the best you can finish is 9-7, and those sound completely different, so that’s in front of you.”

With the Bears all but eliminated from playoff contention, the focus now turns to building a platform for 2016. “Obviously that’s the ultimate goal, to get to the dance,” Long said. “But for us, personally, this is about pride. You could go down the entire line of our roster and they’d all echo the same thing and I know they’d mean it because I’ve seen these guys. I’ve seen the preparation they’ve put in, the hard work, the long hours.” Prior to the visit to the Vikings, the Bears will welcome the Washington Redskins this Sunday at noon. The Redskins, coming off a wild last-minute loss to the Dallas Cowboys on

Monday night, sport an identical 5-7 record but manage to sit atop their division, sharing first place in the NFC East with Philadelphia and New York. One Bear who won’t be on the field against Washington is the team’s leading pass-catcher. Tight end Martellus Bennett. Bennett was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after aggravating a rib injury initially suffered in the team’s loss to Denver two weeks earlier. Chicago signed free agent tight end Rob Housler to replace Bennett on the active roster. Housler has made 61 appearances over five NFL season, his last with the Browns earlier in 2015.

Tales From The Trough

Hogs rack up wins in Texas

Ryan Hartman has been quietly contributing on the scoresheet for the Rockford IceHogs, and the trend continued this week as Hartman scored five points – three goals and two assists – including goals in three straight games in week 9. Todd Reicher

By Todd Reicher Columnist

fter losing a tight game to the Milwaukee Admirals to start their five-game road trip, the Rockford IceHogs fired off three wins in the next three games in Texas. Rockford’s first game of the Texas swing took place on Wednesday, December 2 against the Texas Stars. The Stars ravaged Rockford in two games at the BMO early in the season, outscoring Rockford 12-4 in those two games, including a 7-2 drubbing. The Stars lit up Rockford and Michael Leighton for five goals, but it was Rockford taking home the win, getting six goals on Jack Campbell. Neither team lead by more than one goal in the back-and-forth affair. It was Ryan Hartman who opened the scoring, earning his seventh of the season 7:50 into the game. Texas tied it up 1:10 later, and then took the lead

two minutes after the first goal. It took until their 21st game of the season, but Rockford finally managed to score more than 2 goals in the second period with a three goal outburst. Bryan Bickell and Garrett Ross scored 57 seconds apart to give Rockford a 3-2 lead early in the second. The Stars would score the next two goals to reclaim then lead, but Hartman tied things up with his second of the game with 1:03 left in the period, sending the game tied at the end of two. Each team traded goals in the third period, leading to an overtime game. DennisRasmussenendedthings3:03intotheextra session with a power play marker, giving Rockford the second point in the game. Two days later, Rockford headed down to San Antonio for the first game of a two-game weekend series. The IceHogs would have their hands full with a team that plays a tight game, and that playstyle has

served the Rampage well as they had only lost three games in regulation thus far. But that would change this weekend. Rockford’s penalty kill, which has been excellent since the second week of the season, faltered early giving up two powerplay goals in two opportunities in the first and second periods. Four minutes into the second period, the Rampage scored their second power play goal of the game to go ahead 2-0. Just 1:36 later, Jake Dowell netted his third of the season, assisted by Bickell, to pull Rockford to within one. Rockford answered with a power play goal of their own 10:48 into the period to even the score at 2-2 off the stick of Ville Pokka. For the second time in as many games, Rockford would put three goals on the board in the middle period to take a 3-2 lead into the final period. Hartman

would get his third goal in two games for what would be the game-winning goal. Rockford dominated in both the scoring and shooting as the ‘Hogs outshot the Rampage 15-3, and outscored them 3-1. Bickell hit a wrister at 4:02 of the third period to cap the scoring at 4-2. Mark Visentin would earn his second win of the season, putting him at 2-2-2. The netminder stopped 20 of the 22 shots he faced, including 11 in the third. Rockford looked to complete the weekend sweep on Sunday with the second game of the weekend series against San Antonio. This time it was Rockford getting on the board first with Phillip Danault earning his first goal of the season in only his third game of the season. Danault had off-season surgery which required four months of rehabilitation, and coach Ted Dent was limiting his time on ice in his return. The Rampage tied the game at 13:10 of the period with a power play goal to tie the game at 1-1. Then just 32 seconds later, the IceHogs would answer with a power play goal of the own as Pokka netted his fifth of the season to reclaim the lead for Rockford. With 1:14 remaining in the period, the Rampage would tie it up, sending the game to a 2-2 tie at the end of one. The IceHogs would score two quick goals early in the second to take a commanding 4-2 lead. Hartman would score at 4:29 of the period and P.C. Labrie would redirect a shot into the net at 6:34 for a power play tally. Scoring would come at a premium in the second half of play with Rockford getting the only goal in the second 30 minutes of the game. Veteran Daniel Paille found the net for the first time this season, putting the puck in an empty net with 2:49 left in the game, sealing a 5-2 win and giving the ‘Hogs an impressive road sweep of the Rampage. Rockford finished off their road trip on Tuesday against the Texas Stars (results unavailable at press time). The ‘Hogs will come back home for two straight home games; a Friday matchup hosting the Iowa Wild, and then a Saturday game against the red-hot Grand Rapids Griffins, who have won eight straight and earned points in nine of their past 10. The IceHogs currently sit in first place in the Central Division, holding a 15-5-1-2 record, good for 33 points. The Ads are right behind them, with a game in hand, sitting on a 15-6-1-0 record and 31 points.

Bears can’t seal the deal

By Nate Johnson Columnist

ith the opportunity to balance their season at 6-6, the Bears came up short once again, losing to the San Francisco 49ers 26-20 on Sunday. After taking a late lead on a Ka’Deem Carey touchdown, Chicago was unable to make it hold up, allowing the 49ers to tie the game with less than two minutes left and walk away

with the win on a 71-yard bomb to start their second possession of overtime. The Bears had the opportunity to win in regulation thanks to a huge 74-yard kickoff return by Deonte Thompson. The scoring threat was quelled, however, as kicker Robbie Gould missed what would have been a game-winning field goal from 36 yards out. Gould suffered through another out-of-character performance, missing two field goals in

One positive for the offense was the play of
