High school dropouts in Illinois are now able to attend GED or high school diploma equivalent classes until the age of 23, two more years than the previous cutoff of 21 years.

State Representative Litesa Wallace, D-Rockford, who introduced the bill, said she hopes to help job seekers.

“I’m tr ying to provide options for people who now realize the value of their education, who might not have valued it as much when they were young,” Wallace said.

According to Wallace, Rockford Public Schools District 205 has a 67 percent high school completion rate, which is about 15 percent lower than the state average.

High school dropouts face problems in the future, according to the Illinois State Board of Education’s Report Card from 2014-2015.

“The most significant disadvantage high school dropouts face is lower expected income. The increased likelihood of low-income, along with the lowered possibility of higher education and career opportunities, tends to make high school dropouts more susceptible to crime, substance abuse, and other characteristics of poverty.”

Rare full moon coming Christmas day

Not since 1977 has a full moon dawned in the skies on Christmas.

But this year, a bright full moon will be an added gift for the holidays.

December’s full moon, the last of the year, is called the Full Cold Moon because it occurs during the beginning of winter. The moon’s peak this year will occur at 5:11 a.m.

This rare event won’t happen again until 2034. That’s a long time to wait, so make sure to look up to the skies on Christmas Day. And as you gaze up at the Christmas moon, take note that NASA has a spacecraft currently orbiting Earth’s moon. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission has been investigating the lunar surface since 2009.

“As we look at the moon on such an occasion, it’s worth remembering that the moon is more than just a celestial neighbor,” said John Keller, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Mar yland.

“The geologic histor y of the moon and Earth are intimately tied together such that the Earth would be a dramatically different planet without the moon.”

LRO is managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Mar yland, for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

City Beat Bring us now your investigations

Is this going to be remembered as the year Rockford opened the door to any and all federal bodies looking for something to investigate? It’s starting to look like it.

First thing’s first: the City Council on Monday again decided to lay over the decision on the South New Towne plat until their Jan. 4 meeting. That will be the last day of the

By Shane Nicholson 60-day-window they have by state law to sign off on the project.

That decision came just minutes after the Council voted 12-0 to approve the hiring of Hinshaw & Culbertson to figure out what the city can do about HUD’s inquiry into the project, and whether or not Rockford has violated the Civil Rights Act by covering New Towne in miles of red tape following delayed vote after delayed vote.

Lawyering up is not the worst idea now given it appears HUD has every intention of opening a full investigation into New Towne. Should we be at this point in the first place? No, but here the city stands, and the 80 minutes of closed session it took to decide that legal representation was a worthwhile venture should give us an idea as to what Jan. 4 will bring for the housing project, even if that opens the floodgates of federal oversight. n If some rumors swirling turn out to be true that door could swing both ways, as sources have told the Times that HUD is conducting its own internal investigation into parties close to the contentious project. It could be a banner year in 2016 for lawyers thanks to Rockford’s biggest housing story of 2015. n Of course, the city isn’t the only one taking the heat from the feds these days. County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen is in the crosshairs of the FBI, and fresh off a raid of a downtown storage space that uncovered loads of exercise equipment and furniture it looks like they’re not giving up anytime soon.

The Chairman has carried on business as usual, prepping for a March GOP primary showdown with RVC Board Chairman Frank Haney. But a mailer for Christiansen’s “Holiday Shindig” that went out in advance of his Dec. 2 fundraiser at Giovanni’s may have needed a second look.

A handful of those listed as the 40-someodd “hosts” of the event have expressed concern at their names being used without permission as backers of the embattled county supremo. It seems they feel business as usual may not be the clear path forward for Winnebago County. The opening weeks of 2016 should let us know if the FBI agrees. n In happier news, Rockford’s No. 1 band Cheap Trick has finally been given the Hall of Fame nod and is ready for induction next April at a ceremony in New York. A big congrats to the boys bringing some good national news to the area to close out 2015!

State loses 105K in population: Census Bureau

By Mark Fitton Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — The door to Illinois continues to swing outward more often than it does inward.

New data released by the U.S. Census bureau showed that in terms of domestic migration — people moving about within the United States — Illinois saw roughly 105,200 more people leave than arrive.

Even when offset by a gain of more than 37,600 by way of international migration, Illinois still ended up about 67,500 in the negative column.

With natural growth (births minus deaths) counted, Illinois showed a net population loss of nearly 22,200 people.

Of the 50 states, Illinois was the top population loser. Other states showing a net loss of population were Connecticut (-3,876); Maine (-928); Mississippi (-1,110); New Mexico, (-458); Vermont, (-725) and West Virginia (-4,623).

In terms of domestic migration, the only state besides Illinois to show a six-figure loss was New York at nearly 158,000. The Empire State, however, showed a net population increase thanks to natural growth and international migration.

Illinois’ immediate neighbors showed smaller losses to domestic migration than did the Prairie State. Wisconsin had the largest loss of the five bordering states with about 15,570.

In terms of total population change, the only Illinois neighbor state to show a net increase was Iowa with 14,418, or 0.5 percent.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration on Tuesday said the census data “is another indication that shows Illinois needs to grow its economy and create jobs through the structural reforms outlined by Governor Rauner that include a property tax freeze, tort reform and workers’ comp reform.”

“Businesses — especially manufacturers — are ignoring Illinois as a place to grow their companies because of the economic climate,” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in an email.

A spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, said the data from the Census Bureau offered no new analysis, and he chose not to offer further comment. A spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, said she was studying the data.

David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, said Illinois rugged economic condition is certainly one reason it’s losing population, although not the only one.

Yepsen said people should also remember that trends in domestic migration are running from the Midwest and New England toward the South and the West.

Part of that likely translates to job availability, but parts are also likely attributable to better

climates and to retiree movement, Yepsen said.

Another significant movement trend, he noted, is from rural to urban, and a large portion of Illinois is rural.

But the business and tax climate in Illinois is rough, Yepsen said, and while “businesses don’t like taxes, they hate uncertainty.”

Tuesday’s data shows that states posting big gains in total net migration included Florida at 332,000; Texas at 271,600; California at 103,500; Washington at 68,700 and North Carolina at 63,200.

In terms of growth by percentage of population, oil-rich North Dakota led the nation by adding an estimated 16,890 residents, or roughly 2.3 percent.

Total population growth for the United States was estimated at 2.51 million. The South showed an increase of roughly 1.39 million people, while the West saw an increase of about 865,600. Smaller gains were reported for the Northeast, about 112,600, and for the Midwest, about 145,300.

The data released Tuesday is from the bureau’s annual estimates on population changes, and the latest report takes into account the period from July 1, 2014, to July 1, 2015.

Last year’s December report indicated Illinois lost nearly 10,000 residents from its population from July 1, 2013, to July 1, 2014. Tuesday’s data showed the Census Bureau bringing that number down to about 7,400.

Bustos backs tax credit extensions 57 / 33 41 / 28 43 / 35 45 / 33 39 / 31 42 / 31 38 / 26

Get the latest weather updates at RockRiverTimes.com/AccuWeather

By Erin Kolb Contributor

Congresswoman Cheri Bustos supports a bill moving forward to the Senate to help preserve tax cuts for working families.

The bill, formally known as H.R. 2029, includes tax extenders to keep tax cuts for working families while providing economic incentives for local businesses.

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) saved the average family thousands of dollars in 2013.

Illinois is one of 26 states with EITC, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

“Families with children received an average

tax return of over $3,000 through the Earned Income Tax Credit in 2013, so I’m very pleased we were able to protect this tax cut into the future,” Bustos said.

This benefit package to working families includes a Child Tax Credit (CTC), an EITC and an American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), which makes it easier to families to pay for college tuition.

The EITC also made it easier for farmers and local businesses to purchase heavy machinery and farming equipment from local manufacturers such as John Deere in Moline and Caterpillar in Peoria.

By raising the small business owners maximum

tax deduction to $500,000, both farmers and these local manufacturers are to benefit.

The bill also includes a Jobs For Heroes Act, which was introduced by Bustos.

“We also have an obligation to help our veterans make the successful transition into the workforce,” Bustos said.

This act extends the twenty percent Employer Wage Credit EWC for employees called to active duty and adds a five-year extension to the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.

The WOTC promotes hiring veterans and active service members who, in the past, would have faced significant barriers regarding employment.

Manufacturing jobs still lagging behind

By Mark Fitton

Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — Noting some hard numbers from November, Illinois manufacturers say they’re watching Springfield for decisions on taxes and spending as they keep battling in a worldwide marketplace.

While Illinois gained a few jobs in November, they weren’t in manufacturing.

Although the state added about 400 jobs in November, the unemployment rate rose 0.3 percentage points to 5.7 percent, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

That compares to a national rate of 5.0 percent for the same period.

Jeff Mays, director of IDES, said the increase in the unemployment rate was attributable to more people entering the labor force to look for work.

And while the department noted all non-farm employment was up year-to-year with a job gain of about 35,700, manufacturing jobs continued to lag.

Manufacturing showed a year-to-year job loss of about 12,800 jobs.

“Illinois’ average job growth since the employment recovery began in January 2010 remains below the national average, and employment will not recover from the 2007-2009 recession until January 2017,” according to IDES analysts.

“The manufacturing and mining industries continue to hemorrhage middle-class jobs, while our neighboring states continue to grow, said Jim Schultz, director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

“We need to significantly reform our state’s business climate if we want to reverse the flow of manufacturing jobs out of Illinois and start growing again,” Schultz said.

“It’s been a challenging year,” said Mark Denzler, vice president of the Illinois Manufacturers Association.

“I think the big thing that manufacturers and actually all Illinois residents would like to see is stability and predictability,” Denzler said. “It’s very hard for a business today to make long-term plans for investing in Illinois or expanding in Illinois if they don’t know that the future holds.”

Denzler and other business leaders cited not only Illinois’ unresolved budget impasse and the tax implications that could arise from it, but a need for answers from the General Assembly on questions including tax credits for manufacturers’ research and development projects and on major purchases.

“It’s a tough environment in Illinois,” said Steve Rauschenberger, president of the Technology & Manufacturing Association. “One of the problems we’re concerned with is that policymakers don’t

understand that manufacturing today is competitive across the world.”

While Illinois manufacturers certainly compete with other Midwestern makers, they also compete with manufacturers in countries including Mexico and China, he said.

“Costs that a manufacturer has to deal with end up in his product,” Rauschenberger said. He cited property taxes. Drive one part of manufacturer’s cost too high, the product becomes over-priced in relation to its competition, “and you don’t win those bids.”

The slow-growing economy also means smalland medium-sized manufacturers that survived The Great Recession are hesitant to add jobs unless they know demand will likely sustain those positions, said Kim Maisch, Illinois director for the National Federation of Independent Business.

“It’s not that things are horrible, but many small business owners are very afraid to put on jobs they may not need. They don’t want to get caught like that again after they’ve seen so many fellow business owners go out of business,” Maisch said.

Manufacturers concerns about the economy may be well founded.

“Measures of consumer attitudes and sentiment have weakened in recent months,” the state’s Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, noted in its November report.

There’s some fear the nation’s manufacturing sector is already in recession and, “in Illinois, many face the prospects of higher property taxes as well as the prospect that any state budget solution may necessitate higher state income taxes, while in Cook County they will face a sharp increase in sales and a myriad of other taxes,” the commission reported.

These are rough days, but Illinois’ manufacturing sector is hardly ready to throw in the towel, Denzler said.

“You hope for a home run now and again, occasionally get a single or a double and you keep your head down and keep moving forward — that’s what manufacturers do,” he said.

MORE HORIZONS NASA’s Pluto mission was the highlight of 2015 in space travel, but the organization has moved on from New Horizons to explore even more new worlds.

By Marc D. Raymond Mission Director Jet Propulsion Laboratory

More than a thousand times farther from Earth than the moon, farther even than the sun, an extraordinary extraterrestrial expedition is taking place. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is exploring dwarf planet Ceres, which orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter. The probe has just reached the closest point it ever will, and is now beginning to collect its most detailed pictures and other measurements on this distant orb.

Ceres is a remnant from the dawn of our solar system nearly 4.6 billion years ago. All the data Dawn is now sending back will provide insight into Ceres’ history and geology, including the presence of water, past or present. Scientists believe that by studying Ceres, we can unlock some of the secrets of the epoch in which planets, including our own, formed.

But this mission isn’t only for scientists.

Discovering the nature of an uncharted world is a thrill that can be shared by anyone who has ever gazed up at the night sky in wonder, been curious about the universe and Earth’s place in it, or felt the lure of a bold adventure into the unknown.

I happen to fall into all those categories. I fell in love with space at the age of four, and I knew by the fourth grade that I wanted to earn a doctorate in physics. (It was a few more years before I did.) My passion for the exploration of space and the grandeur of scientific discovery and understanding has never wavered. It’s a dream come true for me to be the mission director and chief engineer on Dawn at JPL. Named for the Roman goddess of agriculture and grain, Ceres was the first dwarf planet discovered, in 1801. That’s 129 years before Pluto –

and in fact, both were originally considered planets, only later to be designated dwarf planets.

Although Ceres appeared as little more than a fuzzy blob of light amidst the stars, scientists determined that it’s the behemoth of the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter – nearly 600 miles in diameter. Its surface area is more than a third of the area of the continental US. Before Dawn’s arrival, Ceres was the largest object between the sun and Pluto that a spacecraft had not visited.

Since well before Dawn, we’ve had telescopic evidence that Ceres harbors water. While it’s mostly in the form of ice, scientists have good reason to believe an underground ocean once circulated. The question of whether reservoirs still lurk beneath the alien surface remains open. Dawn’s studies of Ceres may even provide hints about how Earth acquired its own supply of that precious liquid billions of years ago.

In 2007, we launched Dawn from Cape Canaveral, and it will never again visit its erstwhile planetary home. In 2011, it became the only spacecraft ever to orbit an object in the main asteroid belt, devoting 14 months to scrutinizing protoplanet Vesta. Dawn showed us this second most massive resident of the belt is more closely related to the terrestrial planets (including Earth) than to the much smaller chunks of rock that are typical of asteroids.

The unique capability to travel to worlds beyond Mars, enter orbit and maneuver extensively and then depart for yet another destination is achieved with advanced ion propulsion.

The technology spent much of its history in the domain of sci-fi, including Star Trek and Star Wars. (Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter is named for its twin ion engines.) But what may have seemed only science fiction is science fact. Without its three ion engines (note that Dawn does the TIE Fighters one better), Dawn’s mission wouldn’t

be possible.

The ion engines use xenon gas, a chemical cousin of helium and neon. With electrical power from Dawn’s large solar panels, the xenon is given an electrical charge in a process called ionization. The engines use high voltage to accelerate the ions. They’re then shot out of the engines at up to 90,000 mph. When the ions leave the spacecraft at this fantastically high speed, it’s pushed in the opposite direction.

Dawn’s ion propulsion system is exceptionally efficient – 10 times as efficient as conventional spacecraft propulsion. It’s comparable to your car getting 250 miles per gallon.

Finally, after a journey of more than seven years and three billion miles, our interplanetary ambassador reached Ceres on March 6 2015, and gracefully entered the dwarf planet’s permanent gravitational embrace.

Mission controllers at JPL then piloted the craft to three orbits at successively lower altitudes, so we could first obtain an overview and then gain better and better views of this vast unexplored territory. And Dawn has just performed the penultimate act in its grand celestial choreography. It’s spent the last seven weeks maneuvering to its lowest altitude. Orbiting now about 240 miles above the exotic terrain of rock and ice, Dawn is closer to Ceres than the International Space Station is to Earth.

Included in the spacecraft’s suite of sophisticated sensors is a camera that has already taken 10,000 pictures of alien landscapes on Ceres.

Following from Ceres’ own name, features Dawn discovers are named for agricultural deities and festivals from around the world.

We see rugged terrain and smooth areas, sometimes with streaks of material that’s flowed across it. There are craters large and small, created by billions of years of assaults in the rough-and-tumble neighborhood of the asteroid belt. We see mountains and valleys, huge fissures in the ground and bright spots that glow with a mysterious luster, reflecting much more sunlight than most of the dark surface.

The most striking of these shining regions, inside the 55-mile-wide Occator Crater (named

for the Roman deity of harrowing), is so bright that the Hubble Space Telescope detected a hint of it a decade ago. Dawn’s pictures to date have been more than 200 times sharper than Hubble’s. The images we’re starting to get back now will be even better, revealing 850 times the detail that Hubble had provided.

Dawn has shown us a mountain named Ahuna Mons that towers more than 20,000 feet in an otherwise unremarkable area, comparable to the elevation of North America’s tallest peak, Mt Denali. (Ahuna is a celebration of thanksgiving for the harvest among the Sumis of northeast India.) Bright streaks seem to suggest some unidentified material once flowed down the steep slopes of Ahuna Mons. While scientists have not yet determined what forces and processes shaped this conical mountain, it doesn’t take a geologist to notice its resemblance to terrestrial volcanic cones. Imagine what it might have been like to witness an eruption of some strange combination of water and other chemicals on this cold, distant world.

Beyond photos, Dawn will take a great many other measurements from its new orbital perch before its mission concludes in 2016. It will measure radiation to help scientists determine what types of atoms are present on Ceres. It will use infrared light to identify the minerals on Ceres’ surface. And it will gauge subtle variations in the gravitational field to reveal the interior structure of the dwarf planet.

Once the spacecraft exhausts the small supply of conventional rocket propellant it squirts through thrusters to control its orientation in the zero-gravity, frictionless conditions of spaceflight, it will no longer be able to point its solar arrays at the sun, its antenna at Earth, its sensors at Ceres or its ion engines in the direction needed to travel elsewhere. But the ship will remain in orbit around Ceres as surely as the moon remains in orbit around Earth and Earth remains in orbit around the sun. Its legacy in the history of our efforts to reach out from our humble home to touch the stars is secure. Dawn will become an inert celestial monument to humankind’s creativity, ingenuity, and passion for exploring the cosmos.

Fallout from the Paris climate agreement

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

A

ll 189 nations involved signed onto the Global Climate Reduction Plan.

After the failure of the Copenhagen accord and the nearly 20 year history of failed discussions on the need to reduce carbon emissions, this fact alone is portrayed as a major achievement. Jean-Pierre Gattuso, a professor at the University of Paris, indicated the inclusion of the target to limit the global climate temperature to 1.5o Celsius is a major victory for the planet.

Yet the feel good accomplishment has left many interests wondering whether it will lead to an appropriate response resulting in dramatically reduced carbon emissions.

Dr. James Hanson, the most outspoken scientist on the need to reduce carbon emission who testified before Congress in 1988 on the dangers of climate change, expressed his disappointment regarding the recent accord.

In an interview published in the Guardian, Hansen went so far as to call the agreement a fraud. What has been agreed to is that the 189 nations who signed the accord will voluntarily decrease their emissions in an attempt to limit the increase in average global temperatures to less than 2o Celsius. They will meet every five years to consider what further limits are needed to avoid the worst adverse impacts of climate change.

Hansen believes that if fossil fuels continue to appear to be the lowest cost fuel in the marketplace, they will continue to be burned. He advocates that only a carbon tax will quickly force emissions down to a level to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. In July, 2015, Hansen and 16 colleagues claimed that the Earth’s huge ice

sheets are melting much faster than expected. If their estimates are correct, over half the world’s major cities would be adversely impacted by a sea level rise of up to five meters, flooding London, New York and Miami among others. While the paper has yet to be fully peer reviewed, other scientists have expressed doubts that the sea level rise will be that great.

Another critical response to the agreement is that it contains no mechanism to make it binding on any of the nations signing it.

Even if all the countries reach their respective pledged reductions within the projected time frame climateparis.org suggests the actions are far below what is needed.

Within the United States efforts to reduce carbon emissions via the Federal Clean Power Plan continue to produce controversy.

As reported in The State Journal-Register, contrasting views were expressed by Terry Jarrett and Howard A. Learner. Jarrett, an attorney in Jefferson, Missouri, indicated that the Clean Power Plan would not prove meaningful in terms of global warming but would result in higher electrical costs for consumers. In response, Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, pointed out that Jarrett’s views were apparently based on a report funded by fossil fuel interests. Learner indicates that Illinois should benefit from cleaner air, job growth and economic growth linked to the Clean Power Plan.

The effort to reduce carbon emissions will continue to spur controversy. It will also impact the rate at which energy efficiency and renewable energy will be implemented. Individuals and communities can reduce their carbon emissions by using these resources.

Cheap Trick will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. Founder and guitarist Rick Nielsen talked with us last week about 40 years on the road and what it means to be a part of the next class of honorees.

By Shane Nicholson

Managing Editor

t’ll have been a long road from Budokan to Cleveland when Cheap Trick is finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next April, but that’s nothing new for guitarist and frontman Rick Nielsen.

“My wife and I, we flew to London, then I flew back to do three shows,” he told the Times Thursday, fighting a voice he said he lost somewhere over the Atlantic.

“Turn around, go back to London with my best friend Karl Sydow, to Italy, to London, to Chicago, down to Nashville and now I’m home (in Los Angeles). I haven’t slept for a couple days and my phone just keeps ringing!”

While the Hall of Fame nod was a long time coming for Nielsen; lead singer and rhythm guitarist Robin Zander; bass player Tom Petersson; and original drummer Bun E. Carlos, the veteran guitarist says he wouldn’t trade in the life on the road for anything.

“We just always worked,” Nielsen said.

“We weren’t ever around to watch those (Hall of Fame induction) shows. We played with all those people but we never had time to really watch what all those shows were about.”

He says the recognition of their fans was always more important to the group than any plaque could be.

“When we started, there were some awards–the American Music Awards and stuff–but we would just play. Our award was just being included.”

Before Thursday’s call to let him know enshrinement was on the docket, Nielsen says the band’s greatest thrill was sharing the stage with another rock and roll legend.

“Our biggest treat was meeting Dick Clark, and he knew all of us!” he said.

“He called us at the last minute to fill a show. Just, ‘Hey Rick. Hey Tom. Hey Bun.’ He was just going right down the line talking to all of us, and then out of nowhere, ‘And f*ck Cher for leaving me hanging!’

“Dick Clark, mister clean cut American Bandstand cussing Cher!”

Nielsen looks back on his early days in Rockford as being transformative in developing his music style, including seeing one guitarist, and now fellow Hall of Famer, in particular.

“My favorite player, bar none, is Jeff Beck,”

he says. “I saw him at the old Rock River Roller Rink on the way down to Byron, saw him with The Yardbirds back in 1965. It was just incredible.”

He says Beck’s style and command of the stage influenced his own act in years to come.

“I flew to Cleveland once in high school to see the Jeff Beck Group at a show that must’ve had all of 20 people there,” Nielsen recalls.

“You had him, Ronnie Wood, Dave Ambrose, Micky Walter, and Rod Stewart of course on the mic. And Jeff was just incredible. I was such a fan; he was the ultimate player. Still, to this day, he creams everyone else.”

Cheap Trick’s meteoric rise through the ’70s rock scene can be traced to a voyage to Japan. Their iconic live album Cheap Trick at Budokan propelled the band from regional act to international headliner almost overnight.

tour was good,” he said. “We played well I thought. And we did quite well, we finally got in over there.

“The fact we got there with Crüe was just bigger and badder. Those guys, it’s like being on Howard Stern: the minute the light goes on it just all goes off. I remember asking Nikki (Sixx) if it’d be all right if we could just do some regular drugs for a minute! It was non-stop!”

Despite working and touring for 40 years, Nielsen says there are still some projects that never really came to fruition.

“We’ve done a lot of stuff like that. We all do if you do this long enough.”

He recalled one project with an icon of rock that was lost for years before finally finding airtime, a wait he says was a lot like waiting for the phone call he got Thursday morning.

‘What it meant to us, the awareness of it, it was incredible. People actually like our band and like us after all these years.’

“We never expected it,” says Nielsen. “We played some club in Iowa, I don’t even remember. There were maybe 50 people there.

The next day we flew to Japan and there were 5,000 people screaming for us when we landed. It was like, ‘Whoa! I love this place!’”

The change back home was astonishing, Nielsen said, with the latent American rock press finally coming to recognize the band.

“There wasn’t a lot of coverage,” he recalls.

“I mean, you had Rolling Stone and some local trade mags, but that was about it. When I was in high school I used to get Melody Maker airmailed over to me (from the U.K.). It was about $125 a year for that, but I did it because I didn’t want to wait six weeks to know what was happening; I wanted to know now.

“And after Budokan, we were suddenly part of all that, that whole scene. Our records took off and everything just seemed to travel faster.”

Another tipping point on the global scene of the band’s career was 1986’s Theatre of Pain tour with Mötley Crüe, which saw the band highlight in the U.K. “We never were really big there, so that

“Bun and I went to work with John Lennon,” he says. “It didn’t come out for about 18 years after we did it. It was just lost.”

The Rockford pair cut a version of I’m Losing You, and worked on Yoko Ono’s I’m Moving On, with the late Beatles’ front man in 1980 just months before his death.

“It’s like this Hall of Fame, you know?

We can’t influence that, we can’t control what goes on around us. We just have to keep working.”

Yet another project with a former Beatle never made it off the ground, Nielsen says.

“At one point, I was asked to produce for Ringo. I was supposed to do a Side – Side 1 or Side 2, I don’t remember – and David Bowie was going to do the other. But that just never happened,” he lamented. “It’s tough when you’re on the road all the time.”

Daxx, Nielsen’s son, replaced Carlos as the band’s touring drummer in 2010. Nielsen says that while he doesn’t anticipate a reunion on stage at April 8’s induction ceremony in New York that Carlos will always be an important part of his and the band’s life.

“Daxx is our drummer, so I don’t expect anything,” he said. “But Bun’s always welcome.

He was our band mate. He’s our legacy.”

Nielsen credits the hard work of the band’s loyal fans in Rockford and elsewhere with seeing the band finally inducted into the Hall after being eligible since 2002.

“There were people carrying around petitions, getting thousands of names on them,” he says. “Maybe we would’ve gotten in anyway, but our fans really helped out. That was just extra – people going the extra mile.

What it meant to us, the awareness of it, it was incredible. People actually like our band and like us after all these years.”

The group’s first album of new material since 2009, set for an April 1 Cheap Trick Day release, is due out just in time for the ceremony. Nielsen says the Hall of Fame nod is just a happy coincidence.

“If we didn’t get in we’d be putting it out anyhow. It’s an honor but the world wasn’t going to stop if it didn’t happen.”

Cheap Trick recently played an engagement at downtown’s Coronado, and Nielsen says he felt lucky just to get the show off at all.

“That weather that night, it was awful,” he said. “I flew out to Seattle on Thursday night to work with Jimmy Page, Friday I went to Omaha, and then Saturday back here with the storm. Robin almost didn’t make it and we went on really late, and then we had to hang out until 1 a.m. afterward. But it was great. It was a great experience.”

But like any other gig there was always the next stage to get to.

“The next night I was on the road to Terre Haute to play. I was just glad we got to play in our hometown again.”

For those hometown fans who have supported the group all these years, Nielsen has some sound advice.

“Get younger!” he joked. “I’m yelling that to myself, too.”

And he says despite the wear and tear of all the years and stages played and miles traveled, Cheap Trick doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

“I feel great until I look at myself,” remarked Nielsen. “I was never good looking, but I never looked that bad.

“But I’m lucky, we all have been. You don’t forget that. You never do.”

“Induction into any Hall of Fame should require that inductees have demonstrated a consistent combination of innovation, influence, artistic integrity, and achievement. Those in-the-know, know that Cheap Trick has long hit on all of these and more over the years to be a well-deserving Rock & Roll Hall of Fame addition.”

-Tom Leu, RIVE

Our Todd Houston asked local musicians to weigh in on Cheap Trick’s impact on the Rockford music scene and their upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“I think it’s about time. I remember shows at the ice house and I think in ’82 a New Year’s concert at the Metro Center and a few at On The Waterfront, always great performances. Hats off to the hometown boys.” -Wally Miller

“Congratulations to Cheap Trick on their induction into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame! They have been a huge influence to me and my local musical career! I have admired and have been heavily influenced by Tom Petersson in my bass playing. It’s about time that they are recognized for the great band that they are!” –Michael Hysmith, Jamie Campbell & The Redneck Romeos

“What a great honor for a bunch of guys that have worked their butts off for years. The music and imagination of Cheap Trick is one of a kind. I am very happy for Rick, Robin, Bun and Tom. Cheap Trick live on!”

–Jerry Parlapiano, local musician

“Well-deserved and a long time coming!”

-Holland Zander Jutras

“One thing about being from Rockford is everybody has a Cheap Trick story or some connection and you kind of just take them for granted. I was a sophomore at Guilford High School when they were signed and the first album came out. That summer we were sneaking into the bars in Beloit to see them. Who would have guessed all this time later they would even still be out and about? They have been cited as an influence by many bands so it’s only fitting they should get to the Hall of Fame.” –Tom Goble, local musician

“I think it’s great they finally got the nod.

It was long overdue! Of course all of us local band guys think very highly of Cheap Trick as a key influence in our formative years, but it is always great when you see them get the national and international accolades as well.”

–Jay Samp, Armed Vision

(Untitled)

by Terry Dickow

The handcuffs hurt. They cut into my wrists.

At least they prevented me from rubbing my eyes, which still burned.

Next to me in the holding pen was a one legged man charged with pick pocketing. Across from me was a blind man charged with robbing a convenience store. He pointed a shoe horn at the clerk and demanded money. The clerk refused and called police as the shoe horn man yelled,

“Bang. Bang. Damn it, stand still when I shoot.”

The night had begun on a happy note.

Terry, an old friend from college, called and we agreed to meet for a drink at Crazy Joe’s, a popular watering hole.

Although we lived in the same town, just blocks apart, we hardly ever got together. Terry was pretty quiet and kept to himself. We sat in the bar, sipping our beers and not talking about college. A baseball game was on television, no one was watching.

Finally, Terry spoke.

“I’ve done something bad. I need your help.

But don’t go near my house and don’t try to call my wife.”

Terry always had a dark side. He used to pull the wings off of flies and rename them crawls.

“Do you have a shovel I could borrow?”

We went to my house and I gave him the shovel. In the back of my mind, I knew what

was the only red I saw.

The muffled sound of digging continued. He was quiet, I’d give him that.

I went to the bedroom.

The open window had a screen.

I pulled out my Swiss army knife and quietly cut away the fabric.

I stuck my head through the opening and turned on my light.

A blond haired, bare breasted beauty screamed and then a burning blast hit my eyes. I heard a voice yelling something about a burglar and 911.

I fell, and hit my head.

Later, Terry convinced police to drop the charges. After all, I was a friend.

The trouble caused by me being a snoop paled in comparison to Terry’s problem. He never finished the hole for the magnolia tree he promised his wife he would plant for her forgotten birthday.

I got off easy.

happened.

He killed his wife. Now he was going to bury her.

I couldn’t call the cops. Let’s say I had jumped to conclusions a few times and police were reluctant to believe me. Again.

I needed proof.

I followed Terry as he disappeared into the blackness of his yard.

I heard the sound of a shovel. I edged around a corner and watched him dig the grave.

What excuse would he use? She was kidnapped? Disappeared? Ran away?

I found an open window. I stuck my head in.

Realizing it was too dark, I used my phone. The black and white tiled floor revealed no hint of n n n mayhem.

Cinema

Thrilling mix of old and new

LucasFilm

With The Force Awakens, Star Wars is finally back

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

S

tar Wars The Force Awakens may very well have been the most anticipated film release in cinematic history. From a story that started in a galaxy far far away back in 1977, the space opera became a franchise and solidified itself as a lucrative brand. The much anticipated prequel trilogy may have left fans underwhelmed but that didn’t prevent billion dollar box office returns.

In the 10 years that have passed, Disney bought Lucasfilm and announced they would be producing new films, starting with Episode VII. Some were optimistic, others skeptical, however when J. J. Abrams was announced to direct and more and more footage was released of the newly named The Force Awakens, the dissenting voices began to quiet. Still, a trailer is just that. It evoked feelings of nostalgia but so did marketing for The Phantom Menace.

Would the finished product really be the Star Wars film that everyone was hoping it could be?

Set roughly 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, most of the heroes and stories of that time have been confined to myth. What is very real is the new enemy that threatens the galaxy. The Jedi are all but gone, but the Dark Side is as powerful as ever with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) wielding the iconic red lightsaber. Clad in black with a distorted voice, the comparisons to Darth Vader aren’t exactly subtle but Ren is more than a carbon copy of the previous villain. Driver is brilliant in the role, adding a depth and mystery to the character that surpasses the notion he’s simply evil. Not that he’s very nice.

Also new to the series is Rey (Daisy Ridley), a scavenger who despite her conditions is incredibly upbeat and enthusiastic. Her adventure begins when she meets Finn (John Boyega) and they embark on an exciting quest.

Both Ridley and Boyega are excellent and slot into the cast like they’ve always belonged. The chemistry between the pair is undeniable and it isn’t shoved down our throats.

What is overplayed though is the homages.

Abrams peppers them throughout the film; some are subtle while others are right in your face. There are shots that will remind you of the original trilogy but more interestingly the script, by Lawrence Kasdan, echoes these films by way of the plot. This has received the most criticism from detractors but it was something I loved. At times I felt events were a little too over familiar, however from a story point of view the nuances made sense with Abrams ensuring that every beat was hit to the right rhythm.

The set pieces are fantastic as we are treated to space battles and the obligatory lightsaber duel. It does more than aim for sentimentality, it provides thrilling and stimulating action that appeals to newer audiences while keeping older

ones interested.

The Force Awakens serves as a bridge between the new and the old. It’s too early to know what Rian Johnson has in store for Episode VIII, but Episode VII feels like a transition between the original trilogy and the Disney era.

Some may argue that the twists in The Force Awakens are predictable and the plot is tired but the story is engaging and the characters intriguing. Most importantly, it’s a lot of fun.

J. J. Abrams clearly has a lot of love and respect for Star Wars and has delivered the film that we all needed. Although not perfect (what is?), it’s difficult to find fault without nit-picking when so much of the film works. It may make you feel like you did as a child but if not, your son or daughter will come away with that same feeling you once had. Roll on Episode VIII.

Commentary

A time to give – or maybe give up

By Nancy Churchill

government in general, and a particular scorn for government programs that ask the haves to help the have-nots and that limit the ability of the super-haves to game the economy at the expense of everyone else.”

The last time Republicans shut down our government in 2013, the country “gave up” $24 billion in lost revenue, lost millions of jobs, and risked a credit rating downgrade.

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders appealed to Rachel Maddow’s audience in an interview Dec. 18, asking “Who is your enemy? What does it mean that 58 percent of all new income is going to the top 1 percent, that we have massive income and wealth inequality? You want decent jobs, you want your kids to have an opportunity, we’re going to fight to give you that.

Don’t go to the dark side, don’t go bashing immigrants or Muslims…. Work with us to create an agenda and a political movement that will make your life better, not just other people’s lives worse.”

Sanders’ 12 point strategy as a democratic socialist will give back what people have been asked to give up: rebuild our crumbling infrastructure; reverse climate change; create worker co-ops; grow the trade union movement; raise the minimum wage; grant women equal pay; craft trade policies that benefit American workers; make college affordable for all; take on Wall Street; provide health care to all; protect vulnerable Americans; produce real tax reform.

But electing Sanders for president won’t be enough, as this Congress has shown.

We must create a progressive majority in Congress that will sign onto Sanders’ platform of giving back to the people. To get this done we must all pledge to educate ourselves on what is at stake, and then vote. And get our neighbors, friends and relatives to vote. For progressives. This will be our goal until it is done.

As Nader said, America has prevailed over greater challenges in the past.

T

he holidays are supposed to be a time for generous giving. This time it seems to be all about how much the American people will be giving up.

In 1980 Ralph Nader prognosticated in The Nation: “The contemporary challenge to giant business is quite modest compared to historical movements in our past…. The principal call is … for corporations to stop stealing, stop deceiving, stop corrupting politicians with money, stop monopolizing, stop poisoning the earth, air and water, stop selling dangerous products, stop exposing workers to cruel hazards, stop tyrannizing people of conscience within the company and start respecting long-range survival needs and [the] rights of present and future generations.”

Unfortunately, Nader hadn’t taken the 1980 Libertarian Party platform into account. Its neoconservative platform has only given us more of the same over the decades, chipping away in earnest at social programs and regulatory bodies, transferring wealth from the 90 percent to the 1 percent, with the ostensible goal of balancing the budget.

As I write this another government shutdown has just been avoided. The debate had been over how much more the American people will give up to the corporations, and this time the people narrowly prevailed. At Campaign for America’s Progress [https://ourfuture. org/20151217/with-latest-budgetdeal-more-failure-by-design?utm_ source=progressive_breakfast&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pbreak], Isaiah Poole lays it at the feet of Congressional Republicans. “[This] is the evil genius of how congressional Republicans have manipulated the budget process to serve their ends, even with President Obama in the White House,” he said.

“They have an ideological scorn for

Letters to the Editor

The last great American president

T

he 2016 presidential election is drawing closer. Election season was once my favorite time of the year, but now that joy has instead turned to fear. This has occurred because as the 2016 presidential election is drawing closer, so too does it appear the Republican nomination for president will go to Donald Trump.

Trump’s meteoric rise is disheartening because it tells me that his supporters don’t prescribe by the motto preached by philosopher Gorge Santayana, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” However, that might be fitting as Santayana was a Spanish-born American and would not be welcomed in a Trump envisioned America. Despite this, Santayana’s words ring true throughout history and are once again foreboding in reference to Trump.

In the 1940s and 50s, Joseph McCarthy destroyed the lives of many innocent Americans by leading Congress on a witch hunt for communist sympathizers. The McCarthy Trials were so terrible that today McCarthyisms is a term reserved for the most reckless of unproven claims. Resembling McCarthy’s persistent assertions of communist infiltrators, Trump has claimed that Hispanic immigrants are murders and rapists. He disparages an entire group of people to play on American’s fears and gain attention. He repeated this process recently as he ignorantly proposed a ban on all Muslims entering the U.S. Trump, in the spirit of McCarthy, is using propaganda to create fear against an entire religion.

Trump’s fear mongering has gone beyond that of McCarthy. Banning all Muslims draws direct comparisons to the U.S. decision to intern over 100,000 Japanese Americans during World War II because of fears that they were going to attack the U.S. This baseless assumption led to one of the worst abuses of civil liberties in U.S. history. Furthermore, Trump’s call to end “the Muslim Problem,” is also comparable to the early calls of Adolf Hitler against the Jews. Like Hitler, Trump seeks to assign blame to an entire group of people and create comradery through fear and hatred. This is dangerous and foreshadows potential catastrophic actions.

Finally, Trump shouts over his critics, uses money to make it impossible for them to get their message out, and threatens them with lawsuits and political party fracturing. Trump doesn’t propose actual change, he instead intends to win his election bid by making

himself the only one heard. Joseph Stalin previously employed this method as he rose to power in communist Russia. Vladimir Lenin became one of Stalin’s greatest critics and threats. Stalin used his position and power to silence Lenin even after Lenin’s death in 1924.

It was his ability to suppress his critics that allowed Stalin to rise to power in Russia and commit some of the most appalling acts of the 20th century.

Donald Trump is comparable to some of the most notorious politicians and actions in history. He motivates through fear and instead of proposing solutions, he proposes who is to blame. Furthermore, like McCarthy who went on to persecute homosexuals, like Hitler who went on to send 5 million non-Jews to concentration camps, and like Stalin who purged and executed critics after Lenin, it is impossible to identify who Trump will tell us to fear next.

You never know, maybe Trump will soon be condemning you. Remember what Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

I am not joyful this election cycle; I am fearful.

I don’t fear Hispanics; I don’t fear Muslims; I fear something much worse. I fear the possibility of the last self-proclaimed great American President. I fear Donald Trump.

Think of the Rockford Park District when giving this year

Rural America gets a lump of coal for Christmas

When you enjoy the Rockford Park District’s many assets such as the recreation paths, Sportscore Complexes, Riverview Ice House, Carlson Ice Arena, Atwood Center, Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens, Alpine Hills Adventure Park, Lockwood Park, or your neighborhood park, you know firsthand what a world class park district is. The Rockford Park District takes pride in keeping our facilities clean and safe. The programs offered to our citizens are top-notch, and the youth in our community experience fun as they should.

The Rockford Park District is the heartbeat of our community. It is where memories are created, friendships are formed, families gather, education experiences happen, and nature is appreciated. None of this would be possible without you…the investors of our

On December 17, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued their final rule defining what it means to be actively engaged in farming, and thereby eligible to receive federal farm payments. The final rule serves only to ensure access to unlimited farm program payments for the vast majority of the nation’s largest and wealthiest farms, and writes loopholes directly into regulation.

USDA is more interested in allowing the nation’s largest farms to avoid meaningful payment limits than in making farm payment limits more effective – the intended purpose of a new rule. USDA stated that the 2014 Farm Bill prohibits them from applying any new rule to farms structured solely of family members. We disagree. In fact, if USDA had interpreted the 2014 Farm Bill language correctly,

they would have crafted a rule requiring that for farms structured solely of family members, those family members qualify for farm payments only if they provide labor – meaning they actually work on the farm.

The new rule affects less than 4 percent of farm operations. It leaves the loophole door wide open for the other 96 percent. USDA has issued an invitation to farm reorganizations undertaken to maximize subsidies beyond the payment limit. Even for those farms who choose to keep their business structures organized as part of the 4 percent, the new rule provides for a limit over $1 million in subsidies per year for the largest farms. This is the antithesis of reform, or more aptly for the season, a lump of coal.

Kirk’s priorities not addressing citizens

Today I received two emails from Senator Mark Kirk.

The opening paragraph of the first email read, “The bill funds the Department of Defense at the highest level since 2012, including a pay increase for military personnel, and provides for increased aircraft procurement, shipbuilding, and resources to support our military and our allies.”

Christmas present to the war profiteers a quid pro quo for campaign funding. Always money available for killing, never enough for healing.

The second email opened, “Last week, I supported a bipartisan bill to fund critical programs and keep the government open.

This bill includes strong support for our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, while providing additional oversight to curb Iran’s efforts to support terrorism.”

Can’t be a Christmas present. We can cannot criticize a foreign country which emulates our policies of seek and destroy.

I would have appreciated these emails more if they would have addressed the needs of the citizens of Illinois. Increased military spending always comes from reductions in domestic social programs. I expect more from a Congress which is projected to work 80 days in the coming year.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Dec. 23-29, 2015

This Week: The moon will be full Christmas day in the comfy, cozy, yet highly emotional sign of Cancer.

Keep this in mind when you’re considering that one last cocktail or 21st Christmas cookie as you navigate throughout the day. We don’t want to end up upside-down in the Christmas tree with ornament hooks stuck in the back of our heads now do we? Or dragging up some worn-out story of how your mom didn’t show up to your baseball game and it’s scarred you for life. We all need to live in the moment and stay there. Take a good look around, and be grateful for everyone that is at our table. That landscape can change so drastically from year to year. Count each and every blessing. Happy Holidays from all of us, to all of you.

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Romantic opportunities arrive from some unexpected sources during this holiday season. Out with the old and in with the new. If you have been hanging onto a sure thing that doesn’t align you with the mind, body and spirit connection your heart desires, it’s time to cut that loose and take a chance on something new.

Impromptu gatherings should be attended providing you with a landscape of powerful possibilities.

Go for it, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Expect a favorable turn of events with your finances shortly.

You had to remove some old debt and frustration; however, a clear cash path is on the way. Then you will be able to plan out your long-term goals with more confidence and determination. Romance may be part of this bigger picture. Smile, the focus is on you now, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Once you initiate an idea for a project, expect to be on top of it from start to finish. Even though there may be some help with this aspect, those around you may need a lot of encouragement to follow through. An old romantic aspect will resurface with a vengeance at this time. You will have all of the information you need to put this to rest once and for all. A feeling of relief will follow, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Expect the coming weekend to be filled with exciting activity with changes within your home environment. You are on the right path to make some favorable changes with home now. This simplifies and improves the quality of your life for the better. Have no fear of change, when all is said and done you will be thanking your lucky stars you did what you did, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — An element of remorse may creep up on you this week. Perhaps your behavior has not been up to par. Take some time to extend yourself a little more with your loved ones. You will never have any regrets if you make your feelings known. The weekend promises a mix of business and pleasure. New leads and opportunities are on the way, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) —Romantic opportunities arrive during the strangest situations and

events at this time. Over the next few weeks, it will appear as though the universe specifically cleared a path for you. Timing is everything, and the time is now. Midweek you may have some tedious financial business to deal with but all turns out for the best in the end, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You are removing negative habits and influences from your system at this time. This may take some getting used to before it really sinks in. By week’s end you will begin to feel the benefits of this aspect on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Your energy level will increase.

Until then, fake it until you make it, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Highly-charged emotional situations will surround you this week.

You will need to take extra care that you do not overlook an important document or financial responsibility as a result of this. As we move to week’s end things will begin to smooth out and allow you time to get together with friends and family and relax a bit. Remember to breathe, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — There may be many people vying for your attention, love, support and affection this week. Make sure you are leaving some down time for you to restore your own emotional well-being. The heartaches of others can become contagious for you. Be mindful of that balance at this time. Bundle up and enjoy outdoor activities, Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — If you feel left out of the loop perhaps it’s because you put yourself there to begin with. Extend yourself and get back in the mix. Everyone can become so busy that they do not necessarily include someone that always says no to offers to socialize. This next week will open doors for a new career or expansion on a current situation. New people places and activities will evolve from this situation. Go for it, Cap. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — There is that one person that appears to enjoy making your friends and family uncomfortable. Because you are the sensitive caregiver, it may be difficult to see how this rippling effect creates conflict during social settings. Be aware of those that may need to close you off from others during this time frame. They have an agenda Aquarius, and it’s not a healthy one.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — If you have recently found yourself off track and anxious expect this week to have a soothing effect on you.

Everything is out in the open and you have an opportunity to resolve an old frustrating issue.

Expansion with career and finance put a spring in your step at this time. Those with jealousy and envy may not wish to celebrate with you. However there are many loved ones ready to sing your praises at this time, Pisces.

Make A New Year’s Commitment For A Healthy Liver

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. Hepatitis B is the most common type of hepatitis worldwide. It is more infectious than the AIDS virus (1). Hepatitis B is considered to be the cause of up to 80 percent of liver cancer cases. Hepatitis B is transmitted through contact with infected blood, bodily f luids and sexual intercourse. If a woman is a hepatitis B carrier, 50 percent of her children will get hepatitis B (2).

I have been bless to work with Dr. Chi in California that has taught me the diagnosis tools of fingernail and tongue analysis. There are markers that will alert a practitioner how healthy your liver is and how well it is functioning. When new clients come to me for an evaluation I ask them to bring their blood work for I need to look at the following numbers.

1. ALP 2. ALT and AST 3. GGT 4. AFP 5. CEA I am sure everyone knows what these numbers stand for and if you have ever had cancer as I did you always look at these numbers along with your other numbers that make up your complete

blood work panel. I always tell my clients that they need a file on their health as they have for their car. You know when the last time you had your oil changed and your tires rotated you need to be aware of your health.

When I work with clients with liver problems, liver cancer, Hepatitis B or cirrhosis of the liver I have a naturopathic protocol that is a must for I see clients liver health get better through their blood work. Cancer drugs inhibits only 2 out of the 4 inhibitors. The herbal remedies I use personally and are in my protocol inhibits all 4. It is very important to know your body and to look for markers. If you see changes externally there are changes internally. Your liver filters everything you eat, you drink and you put on your skin. Be proactive in your health by doing cleanses, detoxes, eating properly, drinking water, exercising daily, having healthy sleep habits and being mindful.

Voices from the Grave

The Christmas spirit of the Illinois Cottage

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

T

he Illinois Cottage was opened in August of 1918. The old Lindsey Home, located on Kent Street was acquired through the Illinois Federation of Women’s Club with assistance of the Spafford family.

Its purpose was to aid single women who came from other communities while they searched for employment or girls who were found after curfew. One such young girl came to Rockford with her new husband. The couple had only been married a few days when they arrived and she had no idea that her husband was wanted for forgery. She stayed at the Illinois Cottage after her husband was arrested until arrangements could be made for her to return to her parent’s home.

One article describing the home mentioned that during the time of the opening there were many young girls that followed the young men to Rockford when they were stationed at Camp Grant. Some of these girls could not find employment and had no way to support themselves.

Later the purpose of the home was expanded to include caring for handicapped children. The Visiting Nurses Association would refer the children to the Cottage.

Most of the children came from very poor circumstances and were handicapped due to to malnutrition or disease. These children would receive medical care, proper nutrition, and an education while living in the home. For some of the children this care was life changing; without it their handicaps would have made them incapable of becoming independent and able to support themselves.

The children who were able attended nearby public schools while those who were bedridden were taught at the cottage.

Clubs allowed the children to earn money for shoes or other clothing. The Fairy Club allowed the young girls to embroider bibs, rompers, and towels that would be sold in the gift shop.

In order to continue the funding of the Illinois Cottage many events and tours were held in the home. Several famous visitors to Rockford were brought for a tour of the home. Jackie Coogan, a child star, and Tom Mix, an actor who was best known for playing in early westerns, were both visitors.

One of the most touching stories in the history of the home involves a little boy

who stayed there in 1931. He came to the home weighing 23 pounds and horribly crippled from a severe case of rickets that had bent his little legs.

The little boy was sent to the Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Chicago for surgery to straighten his legs. He was returned to the Illinois Cottage where his care was continued. Within a few months the little boy’s weight increased and he was walking normally.

There were numerous organizations in Rockford that worked very hard to ensure that the children had all they needed. But it was during the Christmas holiday that the true generosity of the Rockford community was revealed. Gifts of clothing, furniture, toys and fruit were delivered from all parts of the city. Whole classrooms of children would visit to perform concerts and programs for the children.

Christmas Eve was started with a special luncheon cooked and served by local Kiwanis groups, who were major contributors to the cottage. In the evening, the cottage sponsored a large party and opened its doors for all the neighborhood children.

In the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, a truck arrived and picked up around 70 children who then made the rounds in South Rockford. The children and their escorts sang Christmas songs as the neighbors came outside to join them. The newspaper stated that “the familiar music served as a beautiful reminder of the significance of the holiday”.

The truck returned the children back to the cottage for a very special meal.

Santa Claus would arrive afterward with a sack filled with gifts, the first ever for many of the children. The gifts were donated from families, businesses, and local churches and were given to all the children including the neighborhood visitors. Then the children were tucked into their beds with stomachs filled with food and clutching their new toys.

These stories of the Illinois Cottage prove that the Rockford Community was built with the generous, caring spirit that continues still today. As the quote from the movie Scrooged starring Bill Murray reminds us, “It’s Christmas Eve! It’s the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be!”

Mr Green Car

Low gas prices show need for green cars

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

N

obody is more thrilled at buying gas for under $2 per gallon than me. I am always registering in my noggin what gas stations have the lowest prices and making a point of filling up my tanks at them if possible. This includes going on long trips to Florida, where certain points along the way have traditionally low prices. I seem to have inherited this from my father who would drive around looking for the lowest price, and that was back when 35 cents a gallon was common.

With inflation, us paying $2 a gallon is roughly the same as paying 35 cents per gallon back in the 1960s. Fortunately in the years between, due to times of high prices for oil and gas, we have had manufacturers do what they can to make their vehicles more efficient.

That said, when prices are so low at the pump, we consumers tend to think this will last forever and go out and buy vehicles like pick-up trucks and SUVs with little care for the cost of fuel. This is at a time when the need to reduce consumption of fossil fuels is ever more important in efforts to reduce greenhouse gases that are changing our climate.

I once heard the Big Three American automakers described as, “Truck manufacturers who also make cars.” From my observations on the street I would say this is true. Truck sales are high and the manufacturers make much of their profit from them.

Despite there now being a dozen electric or plug-in electric cars on the market and more on the way, the dealers have yet to embrace them and push sales. One local sales manager told me that for his line of several makes they carried no electric vehicles or plug-ins. He said, “They are not a good return on investment.”

Well – no vehicle is a “good investment” – they all depreciate rapidly and wear out. Most 10-year-old vehicles sell for a small fraction of the price they cost new. An “investment” would make money over time. When you are buying a new vehicle, you are looking for reliability and efficiency over your old machine.

Of course style and function are big factors in a new purchase, but I would hope that more of us would begin to consider sacrificing some of our money for the sake of conserving our atmosphere and buy electric. If the sales representative doesn’t point you in the direction of a plug-in or EV – ask about them. We need to ask, we need to create the demand so the market will respond to it.

Most electric vehicle manufacturers are finding that it is a tough sell unless there are significant tax incentives. Take those away – and sales plummet. The exception so far

is Tesla, who sells all the high-priced sedans they can make – and they never advertise.

Those of us who drive electric vehicles absolutely love them. They are good for the environment and they are still far less expensive to operate than a gasoline-powered vehicle even at such low gas prices.

Our Volt for instance rolled 9,300 miles April 1, 2014 to April 1, 2015 and consumed 31 gallons of premium gas. That’s an average of 300 mpg, which for the period was $3 per gallon or about $93 total in fuel (1,240 miles) and $161 for electricity (8,060 miles) for a total of $254 – that’s 2.7 cents per mile.

While a car getting 30 mpg at $2 per gallon now over 9,300 miles would be 310 gallons for $610 (6.6 cents per mile). So even at these low prices the plug-in car has a considerable operating cost advantage. The day $4 a gallon gas returns, we will definitely be

delighted by our choice of power.

Electric vehicles are sometimes derided for the source of their electricity. Which is true if the source is a coal fired power plant. But here in our area, most of our power comes from a nuclear power plant and some solar and wind.

Any electric vehicle can be “fueled” by the sun or wind at your own home if you chose to make that investment – and many do. Nobody is making their own gasoline except a handful of folks using recycled vegetable oil in their diesel-powered vehicles.

I would hope that the manufacturers will set up programs to get EV and plug-in cars and light trucks on the dealer lots and that the sales staff are trained to sell them. This has worked well in the few places that have promoted them. You can’t sell them if you don’t have them. They are a good “investment” for our planet.

What should we do with our $2-per-gallon gas windfall?

By Mark Barteau

University of Michigan

A

merican consumers have been enjoying Christmas since July – that is, July 2014, when the average price for all grades of gasoline peaked at $3.75 per gallon, according to the Energy Information Administration. Since then, prices have declined substantially, as every motorist knows: to $2.90 by Thanksgiving 2014 and to $2.14 as we approach the end of 2015. In many parts of the country, the price of regular gasoline is well below $2 per gallon today.

For consumers, this is unquestionably a financial windfall. There are losers too, of course, especially across the petroleum and fuels industry.

But from a societal perspective – from consumer behavior to public policy – how should we view this change and the likelihood of low energy prices for the longer term, even if they rebound from today’s lows?

Voting with their wallets

The behavioral response of consumers to falling gas prices has been rapid, and from the perspective of greenhouse gas emissions and the climate, not good.

Gasoline retail sales in the US are up a whopping 28 percent for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, according to the EIA. There are longer-term consequences of current consumer choices as well. According to the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, the average gas mileage of new vehicles sold in the US has decreased from a record high of 25.8 miles per gallon (mpg) in the summer of 2014 to 25.0 mpg in November 2015.

That translates into a 5 percent increase in emissions from new vehicles over that period.

That may not sound like much, but in the face of the US commitment ahead of the COP21 Paris climate summit to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 28 percent by 2025, it is clearly a step in the wrong direction.

While consumer response to changes in the energy landscape has been swift, attitudes and policies have been much slower to change. In some ways we are still captive to thinking in terms of energy shortages from the oil shocks of the 1970s and ‘80’s, reinforced by occasional gasoline price spikes including those in 2008 and 2011 above $4 per gallon.

Policy has been slow to recognize this reality as well. Recall that today’s controversial Renewable Fuel Standard mandate for biofuel production was set by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. At the time, emissions reductions were a far less prominent portion of the rationale for this act; growing a supply of domestic alternative fuels was the priority.

Now, we need new supplies of carbon-free

Many American roads and highways need upgrading, and states often struggle to have enough money for maintenance. Economists argue that in times of low fuel prices, governments should look to use limited funds to repair roadways. File

energy, not because we face energy insecurity or because our consumption is rising, but because we urgently need to reduce climate-changing GHG emissions.

As we have seen with consumers buying less fuel-efficient vehicles in the past year, this challenge is doubly difficult in the era of relatively cheap and abundant fossil fuels. That is the stark backdrop to the COP21 agreement.

Intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) to GHG emissions reduction would limit the average global temperature to “only” 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels in the best of cases.

Fixing roads

Financial windfall or carbon calamity, have we missed an opportunity? Perhaps, but we need not continue to do so.

Imagine that a comparable windfall for typical workers had come not in the form of a drop in fuel prices, but as an end-of-year bonus from employers. Between federal and state income taxes, Medicare and Social Security deductions, the average worker would

likely take home no more than 80 cents of each bonus dollar.

What if we were able to capture a similar fraction of the gas price windfall for investment in our energy and transportation future? What could we do with the 32 cents per gallon that represents 20 percent of the gasoline price drop since July 2014?

In Michigan, the legislature struggled for a year to come up with a formula to generate $1 billion for badly needed road repairs. If that amount were funded entirely from a tax on transportation fuels, it would require a tax increase of about 25 cents per gallon.

Nationally, we could invest not only in roads, but in clean-energy research, and in accelerating the deployment of clean-energy generation and new and improved energy infrastructure. We could complement the requirements imposed by CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) vehicle fuel-efficiency standards and the Clean Power Plan to limit carbon emissions from power plants with incentives and investments that would make both more successful in reducing

GHG emissions.

Better yet, the modestly higher price that would result from, for example, a higher gasoline tax could help moderate the trend of purchasing less fuel-efficient vehicles. Regardless of the short-term appeal or the longer-term economics behind consumers’ decisions, the lower mileage vehicles being purchased today may remain on the road for 20 years, making the difficult challenge of significant emissions reductions even tougher.

So the answer to the question whether $2-per-gallon gasoline is a windfall, a calamity or a missed opportunity is “all of the above.” However, we needn’t continue to miss the opportunity provided by low energy prices. We need the will to forego a portion of the immediate benefits and to show the leadership and political courage to enact policies that make sustained investments in infrastructure and in a cleaner energy future. By doing so we will benefit not only ourselves, but our children and our fellow citizens of the earth.

Viral accountability

NIU expert: Video, internet causing ‘sea change’ in US law enforcement

By Tom Parisi NIU Newsroom

Northern Illinois University sociologist Kirk Miller sums up the crisis facing American law enforcement today in just two words: viral accountability.

“What I describe as viral accountability in law enforcement is the phenomenon of citizen- and police-generated video that, through dissemination via the news media or Internet, has the power to influence public opinion about police legitimacy and ultimately affect personnel decisions within criminal justice agencies,” Miller says.

“Viral accountability has thrust controversies related to race and use of force by police into the public eye, and it has fueled the crisis in contemporary policing in the United States,” adds Miller, chair of the NIU sociology department.

Specializing in the study of race, class and gender inequalities within the criminal justice system, Miller is conducting research on police activities that are captured on camera and shared with wide audiences.

While the vast majority of police activities on camera raise no public concern, a string of high-profile examples of lethal force have come under intense public scrutiny, including: •The July 17, 2014 chokehold death of 43-yearold Eric Garner in New York, caught on cellphone video taken by a bystander.

•The Oct. 20, 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in Chicago, captured on a police dashboard camera.

•The Nov. 22, 2014 shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland, caught on surveillance video.

•The April 4, 2015 shooting of 50-year-old Walter Scott in North Charleston, S.C., captured on cell phone video by a bystander.

•The July 19, 2015 shooting death of 43-yearold Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati, documented by a police officer’s body camera.

Missing from this list is the touchstone Aug. 9, 2014 police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., of 18-year-old Michael Brown, whose death fueled protests over treatment of African Americans by U.S. law enforcement.

The Brown shooting was not captured on video.

Yet it remains a point of controversy related to viral accountability, Miller says.

“There has been a tremendous shift in what people’s expectations are for having police encounters documented by video,” Miller says. “In light of how connected we are as a society, people expect that they should be able to see virtually every police

encounter with a citizen.”

Dash- and body-cams have represented attempts by police departments to get in front of the issue so that government can better control the process, Miller says. According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, the nation has seen an uptick among local police using in-car video cameras, with 68 percent of departments employing the technology in 2013. That same year, about a third of local police departments provided at least some officers with body-worn cameras.

“So there’s this unusual situation,” Miller says.

“On one hand, the absence of video creates a problem for police in terms of their legitimacy with the public. On the other hand, when they are recorded, we see incidents of lethal violence that become high profile. At some level, these are the extremes that bound the crisis.

“Police are in a bind,” he adds. “In either instance, they are subject to criticism.”

There also are issues related to what video evidence is released to the public—and when.

In Chicago’s Laquan McDonald case, authorities withheld the video from the public for more than

year, citing a federal investigation into the shooting.

In November, a judge ordered its release, and the ramifications are still unfolding. Earlier this month, the city’s police superintendent was fired.

“If these kinds of events are being captured on police video, with some coming to light and others not, one can speculate about the scale and scope of lesser kinds of wrongful police misconduct that are in the vault,” Miller says.

It’s important to keep in mind that, as recently as a decade ago, policing was still a low-visibility activity, he says. Police-citizen encounters were witnessed by the officer, the citizen and perhaps bystanders.

In situations where there was an allegation of police wrongdoing, it almost always boiled down to the officer’s word versus the word of the citizen.

“Now it’s just the opposite,” Miller says. “Police have to consider the fact that everything they do may be visually documented, and that’s a sea change in American law enforcement. That’s what’s driving a lot of the events over the last 18 months.”

Given the new level of visibility, there is “very little reason” to suspect police misconduct with regard to lethal force is on the rise, Miller says.

“But because so much is visible through video today compared to the past, larger portions of the public are paying attention and perceive more police wrongdoing and violence,” he adds.

Detailed year-to-year comparisons of lethal use of force by police aren’t available because the U.S. government hasn’t captured solid data on the topic.

“It just isn’t something we’ve shined a light on as a society,” Miller says.

Citizen groups and news organizations are beginning to develop their own counting methods. The Washington Post and the Guardian in the U.K. have each created databases that count and profile deaths by lethal police force in the United States in 2015.

Miller says movements such as Black Lives Matter have added momentum to the national examination of race issues in American policing.

At the same time, police accountability groups are leveraging technology aimed at expanding socalled sousveillance. The American Civil Liberties Union, for example, offers a free smart phone app called Mobile Justice, designed to help ordinary citizens record police conduct.

The Internet, pocket video cameras, viral videos, recording apps—technology has come a long way since March of 1991, when the police beating of Rodney King was caught on video by a bystander with a camcorder. In hindsight, it was a watershed event in American law enforcement, Miller says.

“Capturing the Rodney King incident on videotape took luck, coordination and coincidence,” he says. “You fast forward 25 years, and it’s something that anyone can do with a cell phone.

“In some ways,” Miller adds, “what we saw then with the Rodney King beating was like looking into the crystal ball of American policing in 2015.”

As with the last two weeks providing an introduction and choosing the right grains, it is now time to cover what your options are. With the ones I will describe, it is important to take full consideration of their harvest.

Their needs at harvest may be the most crucial part to a successful season as some will need to be harvested a certain way or require additional equipment like a mill. Some grains have a hard hull on the outside that needs to be removed before cooking. These include oats, barley, and buckwheat. There are hulless oats and barley which are what you should seek if growing them in the backyard.

Wheat is the main grain that many home bakers are interested in growing. It can be the easiest to harvest, thresh, store, and grind in small amounts.

Wheat has two types as soft or hard, red or white, and spring or fall planting.

Soft wheat has less protein with a softer starch and less gluten. Soft wheat is best for biscuits, cakes, and

“I’ve reviewed over 3,000 shows.

None can compare to what I saw tonight.”

—Richard Connema renowned Broadway critic

quick breads. Hard wheat has small, hard kernels with a high protein and gluten. The hard wheat is best for bread flour. Rye has similar growing qualities as wheat and can be milled or used as a rice substitute.

Most oats are difficult to hull which is why the best option to look for is the hull less or naked oats. Hulless oats will be harvested in the grouts form. These are ready to be changed into flour, used in cooking, or cut further. If oat grouts are cut up, these will become what is known as steel cut oats.

Barley can be either two or six-row which is determined by the number of rows of grain in each head.

Both two and six row can be used in any form and does not determine one more suitable than the other.

Six-row does have more protein than two-row does.

Buckwheat, quinoa, and amaranth are warm season grains. Buckwheat will be planted similar to other grains while quinoa and amaranth will be planted as individual seedlings. All three will have different harvest needs.

As you consider backyard grains, do more research to find out what their spacing, management, and harvest needs will be.

National Hockey League

Halfway home with questions to answer

By Adam Hess

Contributor

he NHL is set to take a three-day break this week to recognize the Christmas holiday, as they have done for some years now.

Every year the League takes Christmas Eve and Christmas off, and this year teams will have December 23 off as well, with action returning on Canada’s Boxing Day, December 26.

This Christmas break serves as a bit of a halfway marker for the regular season, as it’s just about three months after the season started and there are still three months remaining in the season.

As the Blackhawks near their halfway point both figuratively and literally, there are still many questions surrounding the team and their status as a real contender this season.

The Blackhawks haven’t quite looked like the dominant team that many have come to know thus far this year, though they have still played well enough to find themselves right in the thick of the playoff race near Christmas-time.

“I think our (start) has been very good,” GM Stan Bowman said on Monday. “But the area we are working on is trying to get a little more balance.”

However, a number of consistent issues and question marks exist in the Blackhawks lineup, many of which may not be so easy to solve.

First and foremost is the Blackhawks blueline, which has been extremely lackluster for much of this season. They have struggled to drive play from the back, despite the early presence of Trevor Daley, who is known as an offensive defenseman who moves the puck well.

Daley, as I wrote last week, never quite found a fit into Joel Quenneville’s system, and as such was shipped out of town for Rob Scuderi, who has been pretty much awful since coming over.

Still, more issues than that persist. Scuderi’s most consistent partner thus far has been Michal Roszival, who has been just as bad. I’m not sure what else you expect from slow, old defensem-

GM Stan Bowman says no roster spots will be taken for granted as the Blackhawks look to defend their Stanley Cup crown. Chicago is currently 8 points behind the Central Division leading Dallas Stars. Chicago Blackhawks

en. In addition, Brent Seabrook has struggled to control the possession game as he normally does, despite posting some incredible scoring numbers earlier in the season while Duncan Keith was injured.

Another issue that has plagued the Blackhawks early on this year has been their lack of a skilled, productive third line. For as long as Quenneville has been here, he has liked to roll three strong scoring lines, but this year he has been unable to put together a good combination of players to fill that line.

Teuvo Teravainen struggled there, and Marko

Dano couldn’t quite produce and was subsequently sent back to Rockford.

Dano’s situation is another issue in and of itself. Here is a player who was very impressive and productive in a short NHL stint last year in Columbus, but has struggled to perform as well in Chicago. He has been in Rockford for most of the season, but one wonders if that’s really the best environment for him to develop in.

While the Blackhawks are certainly not in a dire situation going forward, these issues on the blue-line, third line, and what role Dano is to play in the organization this season will

certainly have to be addressed in order for the Blackhawks to have hopes of repeating as Champions this year.

“We have to get in the playoffs,” Bowman said.

“We don’t assume anything.

“But I think we are past that orientation stage.

Now everyone knows, ‘This is where I am, and where I fit,’ and the next phase is to just keep playing well on a consistent basis.”

NFL Week 15

Bears take embarrassing hit

By Nate Johnson

A Columnist

nother slow start doomed the Chicago Bears as they fell to the Minnesota Vikings 38-17 on Sunday, their third straight loss.

Much like in the previous week’s meeting with Washington, Chicago allowed the Vikings to take their first possession straight down the field.

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater capped the 93-yard drive by finding receiver Stefon Diggs for a touchdown that gave Minnesota a lead they would never relinquish.

“He didn’t do anything great,” linebacker Pernell McPhee said. “He just made a lot of crossing routes and completed passes and we really didn’t tackle good today. That made him look really good. But he’s a good quarterback.

He’s still learning. But I don’t think he just went out there and was slinging the ball across the field.”

“We just didn’t execute,” said coach John Fox. “Obviously, [when] you have one of their leading receivers kind of going unnoticed across the whole field, it’s not by design. There were a number of those types of plays today where we didn’t execute very well defensively.”

While Bridgewater played with surgical focus, completing 17 of his 20 pass attempts without a turnover and accounting for all five of the team’s touchdowns (four passing, one running), the same could not be said about Jay Cutler.

Cutler was sacked five times and turned the ball over twice (one fumble, one interception).

Cutler did throw for two touchdowns, hitting Matt Forte and Alshon Jeffery for scores, but the offensive line struggled in protection and the running game was never really able to find their legs, amassing just 93 lines between Forte and Jeremy Langford.

Injuries have plagued the team on both sides of the ball this season and this week was no different. Linebacker Shea McClellin has to go through the NFL’s concussion protocol after exhibiting symptoms following Sunday’s game, and Jeffery was hampered by hamstring problems that held him to one catch on the afternoon.

“I’m not good at the blame game,” Fox said.

“To me, it’s all of us. It’s coaching, it’s playing, it’s executing. Ultimately, we’re all in it together.

I would say I’m disappointed in our record and kinda really leave it at that because that’s kinda what we’re measured on.”

“We played awful,” said guard Matt Slauson.

“We didn’t execute. We’ve got to block. We’ve got to catch. We’ve got to run. We’ve got to throw.

We can’t have penalties. It was just a bad day.”

“These are more like job interviews moving forward,” right tackle Kyle Long said after Sunday’s loss, “because it’s going to be a competitive place to keep a spot.”

The loss leaves the Bears at 5-9 and sets up the remaining two games as mostly exhibitions for players to make their case for a 2016 roster spot and possibly for members of the coaching

staff to audition for spots higher up the ladder elsewhere.

Both of the team’s new coordinators, OC Adam Gase and DC Vic Fangio, have been rumored to be in high demand for head positions going into the coming offseason.

“As we’ve talked about our record, it’s disappointing,” Fox said Monday. “I think it’s disappointing probably to our fans. I know it is to us in this building, whether you’re a player or a coach or administrator.”

The Bears will travel to Tampa this week to

face the 6-8 Buccaneers and rookie quarterback Jameis Winston (along with former coach Lovie Smith) before coming home to host the Detroit Lions in the season wrap on January 3.

Chicago promoted defensive tackle D’Anthony Smith from the practice squad Tuesday, waiving running back Antone Smith to make room. The former Jaguars and Seahawks player last played an NFL down in 2013.

The Bears also added cornerback De’Vante Bausby and defensive lineman Davon Coleman to the practice squad.

‘We played awful. We didn’t execute. We’ve got to block. We’ve got to catch. We’ve got to run. We’ve got to throw.’

Tales From The Trough

LEADING THE WAY Upcoming games

‘Hogs top the Central Division heading to Christmas

By Todd Reicher Columnist

The Rockford IceHogs finally took a game from the Milwaukee Admirals and lost in overtime to the Wolves to go 1-0-1 in week 11.

Friday, Rockford played the Ads on the road at the BMO Harris Bradley Center and scored a lopsided 6-2 victory. After a scoreless first period, the ‘Hog unloaded for six goals in the final two periods, highlighted by P.C. Labrie’s three-point night.

The veteran winger first tied the score at 1-1 after Kevin Fiala scored for Milwaukee, then tallied an assist nine seconds later when Vinnie Hinostroza potted his first of the season.

Rockford wasn’t done scoring in the middle frame as Marko Dano scored on the power play with 3:19 left.

Labrie put in his second goal of the game 20 seconds into the third period to put Rockford up 4-1.

Just 1:04 later, Milwaukee cut into the Rockford lead with defenseman Trevor Murphy earning his fifth of the season.

As the third period was winding down, Mark McNeill, making his return to the lineup after being out for a month, put an exclamation point on the game with a shorthanded goal to give Rockford a 5-2 lead.

An empty-netter by Jeremy Morin with 2:57 left to play capped the scoring for the game as Rockford finally managed to break one open against the Ads. In a scary moment earlier in the game, Ryan Hartman took a puck to the face while blocking a shot. The winger, however, was able to play the following night when the ‘Hogs headed over to Rosemont to face the Wolves.

It was Chicago’s power play that was the deciding factor as the Wolves finished 3-for-7 with the extra skater to Rockford’s 0-for-3.

The Wolves tallied first on a Jordan Caron goal 9:20 into the game on their first power play to open the scoring.

Chicago’s lead only lasted nine seconds as Morin tallied his eighth of the season to even things up at 1-1.

Saturday vs. Milwaukee | 7 p.m.

Sunday at Iowa | 5 p.m.

Wed. Dec. 30 vs. Chicago | 7 p.m.

It was Chicago’s second power play at 12:31 that the Wolves took the lead back on Jordan Hayes fourth goal.

There would be no scoring in the second period, but plenty of penalties, including a slew of misconduct penalties and a fighting major.

Rockford also held the shots advantage, 9-4 in the second frame.

Chicago broke it open early with Noah Welsh earning his eighth of the season 1:02 into the third to give Chicago a 3-1 advantage.

Exactly one minute later, Cameron Schilling earned his first goal in an IceHogs sweater assisted

by Kiril Gotovets and Hartman.

With time winding down, and the Wolves

on the power play, the IceHogs Erik Gustafsson tallied his third of the season with Rockford’s second shorthanded goal in as many nights. Once again, McNeill factored into the shorty, which tied the game at 3-3.

Overtime would end at 3:55 when Zach O’Brien scored his third of the season to give Chicago a 4-3 win.

Monday night the Admirals came to town and turned the tables on the IceHogs, with Milwaukee winning 6-2.

Rockford will finish up 2015 with two of three games at home, one of them against the Ads. Milwaukee will return to Rockford to play on Saturday at 7 p.m.

The IceHogs will turn around and head to Iowa for a Sunday game against the Wild before returning back to Rockford to end 2015 with a home game against the Wolves on Wednesday, December 30.
