Home rule defeated By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — A city referendum asking voters to give city leaders home rule powers after 35 years drew nearly 25,000 voters to the polls Tuesday. The sizable turnout was expected as soon as the home rule debate began in November and early voting commenced last month. As of a March 13, around 1,500 people voted early. Those tallies proved crucial as polls closed and the referendum failed by 1,800 votes with nearly 25,000 ballots cast. The debate was heated. Heavy resistance came from the Rockford Area Realtors, Rockford Apartment Association and the Rockford Hotel Motel Association. Each parroted the message sent by publisher John Gile 35 years ago, a claim that home rule strips citizens of their rights. Proponents asked voters to give them the power to make local decisions that are currently made at the state level. Mayor Tom McNamara sought to use home rule to diversify the city’s revenue sources to take a heavy burden off the backs of Rockford homeowners.

And while it wasn’t McNamara’s day, as it was last spring when he won City Hall in a landslide, he said his work isn’t done. His message about home rule was rooted in fact, transparency and voter education, he said, and he’s proud of the effort. “I will take character and tenor and talking one-on-one over big, glossy mailers,” the mayor said, referring to the onslaught of material Realtors hit voters with ahead of March 20. “We are not done. The fight isn’t over. We know home-rule helps reduce reliance on property taxes.” McNamara and staff will now turn to budget option B, which includes the ordinance for a 5 percent utility tax on natural gas and electric services throughout the city. A utility tax is one Rockford hasn’t charged in 16 years. Aldermen say they’ve not brought it back to avoid a levy on essential services. “Plan B uses the natural gas and electric utility tax that City Council has avoided imposing since 2002,” Rockford Finance Director Carrie Eklund said. “That tax is estimated to generate sufficient revenue

to balance the remaining 2018 budget of $3.9 million.” Subsequent budgets could tell a different story. “But, as a shrinking source of revenue, it will not be a permanent fix to the city’s future deficit projections,” Eklund added. In other local races, Winnebago Sheriff Gary Caruana defeated challenger Kurt Ditzler in the Republican primary. Caruana will face Democrat Bob Springer in November. In the race for Litesa Wallace’s 67th District seat in the Illinois House, Democrat Maurice West defeated Angela Fellars, Valeri DeCastris and Gerald Albert. There was no Republican primary. There were three key Republican races on the Winnebago County Board. Incumbent Eli Nicolosi was defeated by John Butitta in District 8, Jas Bilich won the District 20 primary and Paul Arena defeated Kevork Muradian in District 7.

Pritzker, Rauner to face off By Sara Burnett & John O’Connor Associated Press

CHICAGO — The race for Illinois governor will be a battle between two deep-pocketed candidates who’ve already sunk more than $120 million combined into the contest, putting it on pace to become the costliest such campaign in U.S. history. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, a wealthy former private equity investor, defeated conservative state Rep. Jeanne Ives on Tuesday for the GOP nomination. “We are in a critical time, a critical turning point in Illinois,” Rauner told supporters. “I am humbled by this victory. You have given me a chance to win the battle against corruption that plagues Illinois.” He will face Democratic billionaire J.B. Pritzker, an investor and heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, who easily won the primary over Chris Kennedy, the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy; and Daniel Biss, 40, a state senator who campaigned as the “middle-class candidate.” Pritzker, 53, already has spent more than $70 million to bankroll his campaign, while Rauner has put in about $50 million and has received millions more from his wealthy friends in the business community. Combined they’re expected to top California in 2010 as the nation’s most expensive governor’s race. In an interview with The Associated Press after the race call, Pritzker called the victory “amazing” and said he’s “really excited.” “We’ve got some work to do for the next eight months because we’re going to go out and beat Bruce Rauner,” he said. Rauner, 61, took advantage of a national GOP wave four years ago to pull off a surprising victory in a state otherwise dominated by Democrats and win his first political office. Rauner’s personal wealth is just shy of $1 billion, but Pritzker — an investor and one of the heirs to the Hyatt hotel chain — is worth several times more. Ives raised just $4 million — less than any of the other prominent candidates, but has attacked the governor’s conservative credentials in edgy TV ads. One of them, which the chairman of the state GOP blasted as a “cowardly attempt to stoke political division,” portrays actors mockingly thanking Rauner for not doing enough to restrict illegal immigration, abortion and transgender bathroom rights. In other races on the Illinois primary ballot, former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn — whom Rauner ousted in 2014 — was locked in a tough competition with state Sen. Kwame Raoul for state attorney general. There also are numerous contested congressional primary races, including progressive candidate Marie Newman’s

challenge to seven-term Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski. But none involved the kind of spending as seen in the governor’s race. Personal wealth solidified Rauner and Pritzker’s front-runner status but also made them frequent targets for opponent attacks. Even Kennedy spent $2 million of his own money on the race. Biss, a Harvard-educated mathematician who gave up teaching to enter politics, set up a website to track what he says is a $171,000-a-day campaign by Pritzker. The Democratic front-runner has been advertising on television from nearly the moment he announced his candidacy 11 months ago. Pritzker’s opponents also have attacked his connections with overseas trusts in low-tax countries, though he maintains they’re focused on charitable giving and that he has no control over them. In response, Biss has called him a “fraud”

while Kennedy labeled him a “liar.” But far more damaging were ads that Rauner ran against Pritzker after wiretap audio surfaced of him talking with former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The ads included a 30-minute infomercial-style ad with the full FBI recordings. Rauner took on Pritzker again when more tapes surfaced from the Chicago Tribune. They revealed Pritzker describing Secretary of State Jesse White — a Pritzker backer — as the “least offensive” black officeholder to be considered for the Senate seat vacated by then-President-elect Barack Obama. Pritzker has apologized, and White continues to back him. Although Biss has built his campaign around claiming to be the “middle-class candidate,” he has faced criticism as the architect of a plan to cut the roughly $100 billion gap in pension funding for the cashstrapped state by reducing some of the promised retirement benefits. Although he

says he has learned his lesson and won’t support it again, Pritzker has repeatedly criticized his change of heart. Biss and Kennedy have teamed up against Pritzker for his silence on whether Michael Madigan, the longest-serving state House speaker in modern U.S. history, should step aside because of criticism about how he handled sexual harassment complaints by campaign workers against two of his political aides. Rauner also has invoked Madigan in his ads against Ives, calling her “Mike Madigan’s favorite Republican and Illinois’ worst nightmare.” Rauner rolled to victory in 2014 with a promise to “shake up” Springfield with a pro-business, anti-union agenda including lower property taxes and term limits on officeholders. But his ongoing spat with Madigan and other legislative Democrats left the state without a budget for two years while billions of dollars of debt piled up.

New owner for Rivets Stadium Contributor

LOVES PARK — The home of the Rockford Rivets is no longer in limbo, as an Ohio investment group has purchased the club’s stadium. River Rock Properties has agreed to buy the 3,200-seat Rivets Stadium at 4503 Interstate Blvd. from Northside Community Bank. The bank has owned the property since 2012, when it foreclosed on the former owners. River Rock, of Dayton, is led by CEO Gary Mayse, the former general manager of the Dayton Dragons of the Midwest League. Mayse already has some ties to Rockford. After the 1999 season, the Dragons came to Dayton after playing here as the Class A Rockford Reds. The Reds were drawing only about 1,00o fans per game but Dayton, under Mayse and other executives of the Mandalay Group, built a new downtown stadium, and the rest is minor-league baseball history. The Dragons sold out every game of the 2000 season before it even began. It then recorded 815 sellouts in an 11-year period. It was the longest sellout streak by any professional sports franchise, a record previously held by the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers. Whether Mayse can bring the same success to Rivets Stadium remains to be seen. The first challenge he’ll face is the on-field product. The Rivets are an amateur wood-bat team of current and former college players and others trying to get inked to pro deals. However, Mayse says he anticipates strong support from fans, perhaps as strong as when the Reds, Rockford Expos and Rockford Cubbies played at Marinelli Field. “I particularly had an interest in (the stadium) and thought it would be one good asset for our organization,” he told WTVO’s Scott Leber. “ We’re obviously in the sports-entertainment business and we think there’s a lot of good things to come in the Rockford community and we very much want to be a part of that.” Mayse’s group won’t have a part in running the Rivets. Owner Dick Radatz Jr. and GM Chad Bauer will be at the helm as the team begins its third year in the Northwest League this May. Any changes Mayse brings will be improvements to the

grounds. “I know that they’re just starting up their third year of operation there,” he continued. “We believe that they can continue the upswing and hopefully we can just be owners that can give them the support to do that.” There are three years remaining on the Rivets’ five-year lease with Northside Bank. River Rock is honoring that agreement. The bank put the stadium up for sale in 2015. The auction by Rick Levin & Associates yielded little interest and the ballpark remained with Northside. Back then, the field was home to the Rockford Aviators of the Frontier League. The Aviators folded after the 2015 season. The Rivets began Northwoods League play in 2016. What River Rock paid for Rivets Stadium has not been disclosed. It cost $4.7 million to build in 2006. The Rivets begin the 2018 campaign May 29 at home against the Green Bay Bullfrogs. R.

other sweets. But organizers said they were already full up for that kind of fare, and so they asked if she knew how to do breads. She said yes, but that wasn’t quite the truth. “I did not know how to bake bread,” she says. “I’d never baked bread before.

I had to figure it out because I really wanted to be at the Market.” See how Jojo learned on the fly and brought a new twist to Downtown’s iconic summer event. R. Watch Jojo’s story at rockrivertimes. com/category/OurCityOurStory.

DeVos stammers way through House hearing By Maria Danilova Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos faced tough questions from House Democrats on Tuesday on gun control, racial bias and civil rights as she sought to defend funding cuts for her agency. DeVos’ testimony in front of the House Appropriations subcommittee got so tense at certain moments that the chairman made a point of thanking DeVos for her poise when he concluded the meeting. DeVos, already reeling after a series of rocky, high-profile interviews, unveiled some details of a federal commission on school safety that she will be chairing. The commission, formed after the Florida high school shooting in which 17 people were killed, will comprise herself as well as the heads of the Homeland Security, Health and Human Services and Justice departments. DeVos said the commission will begin work within the next few weeks. A spokeswoman for DeVos later added that the panel will also involve students, teachers, law enforcement and mental health professionals as experts. DeVos said the commission will, among other things, consider whether to ban gun sales to people under 21. President Donald Trump initially spoke in favor of such a proposal, but backtracked on it after meeting with representatives of the National Rifle Association. DeVos would not tell the subcommittee whether she personally supports the idea or not. DeVos also defended states’ and communities’ rights to decide whether to arm teachers. “The question of school personnel being armed is very much one for local communities and states to grapple with,” she said. DeVos added, “If there are going to be guns in schools, they need to be in the hands of the right people, those who are going to protect students and ensure their safety.” Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., applauded DeVos for trying to upend the education establishment and push for alternatives to neighborhood public schools. He lamented that American students were scoring lower than many of their foreign peers on international assessments. “My gosh, the federal intrusion in education just hasn’t worked and it’s time to drain the education swamp,” Harris said. Patty Murray of Washington state, the top Democrat on the Senate committee overseeing education, was skeptical about the school safety commission. “I am not

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos testifies before a House Committee, Wednesday in Washington. Photo, Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP very optimistic that that will accomplish anything,” she told The Associated Press. DeVos also faced sharp criticism from Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., who complained that minority students were being disciplined much more frequently than their white peers for similar infractions. The Obama administration issued guidance in 2014 that instructed schools to pay attention to the problem and make sure they weren’t discriminating against minority students. “Your head is in the sand about racial bias and racial discrimination,” Lee said. “Madame Secretary, you just don’t care much about the rights of black and brown children. This is horrible.” DeVos is now reviewing that guidance, and civils rights group fear she intends to rescind it. She would not talk about her plans at the hearing. But DeVos said she was proud of the work of her agency’s civil rights office and said it was working to protect all students. “There is no place for discrimination and there is no tolerance for discrimination and we will continue to uphold that,” she said. Harris came to DeVos’ defense, saying the Washington Opportunity Scholarship, the nation’s only federally-funded private school voucher program, was helping raise graduation rates for minority students. He added that he has received letters from one

of his constituents who is complaining that schools have become unsafe because teachers are afraid to discipline students out of fear of sanctions from the federal government. “I’ve been called racist. I guess that’s the favorite thing to do to anyone you disagree with and it’s shameful, to be honest with you,” Harris said. Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass., launched into a tense back-and-forth with DeVos on whether she would require private schools that receive federal funding to follow federal civil rights laws that prohibit sexual, racial and religious discrimination. DeVos has been pushing to increase public funding of alternatives to traditional neighborhood schools — such as charter school or private school programs. Critics say private schools get to choose which students to admit and may discriminate against minorities. “Will you guarantee as secretary of education that that money is included with non-discrimination policies for those private schools?” Clark asked. “Federal law must be followed when federal money is involved,” DeVos said. “Is that a yes or a no?” DeVos kept repeating her answer. “Is there some problem? Yes or no?” “Yes,” DeVos finally said.

How the Daleys shaped Chicago, and Illinois By John Carpenter Chicago Sun-Times

About 20 years before a certain territory along the eastern banks of the upper Mississippi became a state, a man named Maurice Daly tied his ass and cart to a fence in the little Irish town of Dungarvan and set off for America. He added an “e” to his last name along the way — and the die was cast for the most powerful political brand in Illinois’ 200-year history. The Daleys of Chicago ran the state’s largest city for more than 40 years, watching from the fifth floor of City Hall as the city grew from a thriving but unpolished Midwest railroad hub to a sprawling global metropolis. Whether it’s the skyscrapers that Richard J. Daley so dearly loved, or the wrought-iron fences and European-style greenery pushed by his son, the legacy of the city’s two longest-serving mayors is impossible to avoid. There are also things not seen, of course. Like Meigs Field, the quirky lakefront airport that the younger Daley brazenly — and illegally — bulldozed in the middle of the night in 2003. And then there’s a trail of Daley pals either shamed or jailed for various corruption schemes, part of a long-tolerated, wink-and-nod “Chicago way” of doing city business. The elder Mayor Daley struggled to reconcile his neighborhood tribalism with the growing civil rights movement and anti-war protests. And his son watched grand plans for his city spiral into sweetheart deals and crippling budget deficits. But the Daley Machine also saw Chicago’s fortunes grow while other Rust Belt cities declined. And they helped elect two Democratic presidents while wielding the kind of statewide clout in Springfield that a small army of Machine-bred representatives and senators can make possible. Richard J. Daley, great-grandson of Maurice, was born in the city’s Bridgeport neighborhood in 1902, not far from where he lived when he died 74 years later. He rose through the ranks of Democratic politics by building a reputation as both an old-school ward heeler and nimble numbers cruncher. Lacking the oratorical flourish of so many politicians of the day, he prided himself on getting things done. “Good government is good politics,” he liked to say. And he correctly surmised that few would mind if city payrolls were stocked with Daley Machine foot soldiers, so long as the trash got collected and the streets got plowed. When he arrived at his desk in City Hall every morning, he was greeted with a list of the names of new city workers, along with their political sponsors. His ride home in the evening often took a wandering path,

Mayor Richard J. Daley celebrates his 70th birthday, May 15, 1972, at Chicago City Hall with his sons, left to right; Michael, Richard M., Mayor Daley, William and John Daley. The cake was a replica of the John Hancock Center. Photo, Chicago Sun-Times stopping at various wakes and retirement parties, each visit cementing that particular family’s multi-generational allegiance to the Democratic Party. While the husband was running the city, his beloved wife, Sis, was raising a growing brood of seven children. Little Richie, the first-born son, came along in 1942. Then came Michael, a prominent lawyer and the only son who stayed away from politics (unless, ahem, you count helping clients win city zoning cases political). Then there was John, a former state senator and state representative who is still a Cook County Commissioner. He is also the 11th Ward Democratic Committeeman, a job that has been in the Daley family since the 1940s. William Daley, the youngest son, is the only one to have officially stepped onto the national political stage, serving as both

U.S. commerce secretary under President Bill Clinton, and White House chief of staff under President Barack Obama. In 2013, Daley briefly ran for Illinois governor, only to drop out of the race a few months after entering it, citing personal reasons. But it was Richard M. Daley who made the family name synonymous with big city clout, eclipsing even his father’s run on the fifth floor. Even as business-hub suburbs like Naperville and Schaumburg sprouted gleaming corporate headquarters, Daley presided over continued growth downtown. And Millennium Park, his crown jewel, remains a source of civic pride, perhaps allowing the memory of his failed Olympic bid to fade. His administration also was marked by

a series of scandals, including the “Hired Truck” scandal, in which the city government leased hundreds of privately owned dump trucks that did little or no work, wasting $40 million a year. Sun-Times reports about the program fueled a swift-moving federal investigation that led to the indictments of 49 people on public corruption-related charges. All were convicted, except for one individual who died after being charged.

Historian doesn’t want hero’s story lost By Kathleen A. Schultz Sauk Valley Media

DIXON — It’s such a small, unremarkable headstone for such a remarkable life. In an age when the average male life expectancy barely topped 40, 56-yearold Peter Williams enlisted with the 29th Regiment, U.S. Colored Infantry, to fight for the Union in the Civil War. Pvt. Williams engaged in nearly a dozen battles before his capture by rebel forces 5 months later. He was held captive in five Confederate pr i s on s, i nc lud i ng t he notor iou s Andersonville, but was free to witness the fall of Petersburg on April 2, 1865. He was discharged from service that November, 7 months after Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, Virginia — which, apparently, Williams also was on hand to see. Thanks to local historian Pat Gorman, Williams and his rich story are not lost to history. While researching the list of Dixon Post 299 Grand Army of the Republic members buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Gorman “came across a small, very unassuming grave,” near the hill where the largest known potter’s field area is located. On the rectangular gray stone is inscribed simply “Peter Williams 1808-1908.” “I looked at the dates and was amazed that Peter was 100 years of age and died in 1908, something not real common nowadays but almost unheard of then,” Gorman said in an email to Sauk Valley Media. “Curiosity got the best of me, as it usually does, and I began to look into Peter, not just to replace his missing GAR star, but to find out who he was.” (Founded in 1866 in Decatur, the GAR was a Republican-leaning fraternal organization and advocacy group whose members served in the Union Army, Navy, Marines and the customs enforcement agency, the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service. It supported voting rights for black veterans, helped make Memorial Day a national holiday, and lobbied Congress to establish regular veterans’ pensions, among other things.) Gorman found, among other things, Williams’ obituary, which ran in the Dixon Evening Telegraph on May 27, 1908. An excerpt from it outlines his service: “Peter Williams, colored, enlisted from Chicago, February 5 1864, mustered into the U.S. service at Quincy, Ill. April 24, 1864 as a private of Company C, 29th U.S. Volunteer Infantry, under First Lieutenant John Aiken and Col. John Bross, to serve three years. “He fought in the battles of the Wilderness, Nye River, Spottshanne, North Anna, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Welden, Prebio Farm, Hatchens Run, Bermuda Hundred, Ft. Fischer, N.C., the fall of Petersburg, Appomattox, and Lee’s

Historian Pat Gorman places a flag in the GAR star of Dixon native Peter Williams, at Williams resting place in Oakwood Cemetery in Dixon.

He was honorably discharged on November 6th, 1865.” That Williams survived the war — and the scramble from prison camp to prison camp, as the Confederates tried to outrun the advancing Union Army — is miracle enough, especially considering that very few black soldiers were left alive to be taken prisoner, and those left alive often were forced into hard labor. In fact, the Confederate Congress passed

a resolution declaring that captured black soldiers “be put to death or be otherwise punished” rather than be held as prisoners of war, and later adopted another resolution providing that all captured “negroes or mulattoes,” slave or free, be tried for inciting insurrection and face the death penalty. That Williams went on to survive 4 decades more is extraordinary. “His life during the war must have been as close to hell as any soldier could have known,” Gorman wrote. “Peter, in my opinion was a hero!” The 1860 Census counts 7,600 AfricanAmericans in Illinois. Williams was one of more than 1,800 to enlist during the

Civil War, which ran from 1861 to 1865 — although black men were not allowed to enlist until President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863. The 29th U.S. Colored Infantry, the regiment with the largest number of African-Americans from Illinois, began enrolling men at Quincy in November 1863; its most noteworthy action was at the Battle of the Crater near Petersburg, Virginia on July 30, 1864, the day after Williams was taken prisoner. A few other things about Williams’ later life can be gleaned from the scant records that Gorman has found. His wife, Elizabeth Williams, known as Lizzie, was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on Dec. 26, 1833, and moved north to Sterling in April 1865, the month the war ended. She was a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Sterling when she and Peter married in 1871, when she was about 38, and he was 63. They lived for 10 years in Harmon before moving to Dixon in 1881. They were living at 529 N. Jefferson in 1900, and counted city founder Father John Dixon as a close neighbor. Peter died 8 years later. “To every small boy of North Dixon, Uncle Peter and his sway-backed sorrel mare and rickety spring wagon were a sort of landmark, an accustomed sight which was daily watched for,” his obituary reads. “His venerable appearance, gray haired, bowed and feeble, and with all his genial good nature won for him a warm place in the hearts of all who knew him and he was respected by white and colored alike.” Peter and Lizzie had seven children, only four of whom were alive at the time of Lizzie’s death on Dec. 9, 1914: Henry, Charlotte, Solomon and Rebecca. Lizzie had lived in Dixon until that Sept. 5, 1914, when she fell ill and was taken to Providence Hospital in Chicago, where one of her daughters lived. She was brought back to Dixon to be buried next to Peter. Their son Solomon served with the 8th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, stationed at San Louis in Cuba during the SpanishAmerican War of 1898. He rose to the rank of sergeant before his honorable discharge. On Oct. 30, 1900, he and Hattie West of Delavan, Wisconsin, married in Chicago and returned to Solomon’s hometown, where she worked for the city hospital. The historical society has created a file for the Williams family, and Gorman is eager to fatten it with any information he can find about what happened to the children and their descendants. He also would like to get a headstone for Lizzie’s grave, which is unmarked.

Remembering Rockford’s place in Vietnam By Scott Lewandowski

Contributor

t has been 45 years since President Richard Nixon signed a ceasefire in January 1973 which began the U.S. pull out of the Vietnam War. After the war in Afghanistan, the Vietnam War is the longest war in our history. This conflict has left many scars on this nation and those that served our county and will be remembered as one of the most controversial times in American history. The United States entered the Vietnam War in 1959 and would continue to have a presence there until 1975. With the ceasefire came the release of our Prisoners of War. Rockford is home to a couple of former POWs: Major General John Borling and Michael Lenker. Lenker was captured Feb. 8, 1968 when his helicopter was shot down, and he would spend the next 1,864 days a prisoner in North Vietnam until his release March 16, 1973. Today, he keeps a

low profile but continues to be active in several Veterans organization. General Borling was a Major in the United States Air Force when on June 1, 1966 his plane was shot down. He would spend 2,248 days at different sites in Northern Vietnam, including the infamous Hanoi Hilton. He was released Feb. 12, 1973. General Borling is very active in our community and has published a collection of poems that he memorized while in captivity, titled “Taps on the Wall” There were approximately 61 major battles during the war. One such battle was the Tet Offensive in January 1968. The name comes from the Tet holiday, the Vietnamese New Year. The U.S. and South Vietnamese troops were caught off guard during the offensive because they naively thought that the North wouldn’t launch an attack during this holiday. Tet was one of the largest military campaigns of the war. Sgt. E5 John Kline lives in Rockford and

was in Vietnam during the Tet offensive. His story is featured in the Rockford Historical Society’s Nuggets of History this month: “So there I was. Perhaps for the first time in my life, I was in charge of myself. There was no one to turn to and no one to blame! The night skies were clear. The air was warm, but with a slight chill to it as the night advanced. The blue runway lights had been left on to guide the pilot on his return. I paced about and thought about what I would do should my position come under attack. Most of the munitions were still in the rig. The rig was locked up and was not accessible. I still had the two grenades hanging from my flack vest and my M-14 with a full magazine of ammo. I had already decided that I would not allow myself to be captured, so my mantra regarding the grenades was ‘one for you and one for me’. To the best of

my memory, I had not had occasion to fire my weapon since arriving in Viet Nam months earlier, so I had the ages old soldiers debate with myself about ‘would I or wouldn’t I’? I knew that I would have to find my inner sergeant to get me through this.” The Vietnam War Veterans were not well received when they returned from the war. But, as time passes the mood of the nation has changed and they are finally receiving some of the respect that they deserve. Please honor all who served. R. “Taps on the Wall” is available at Veterans Memorial Hall. Scott Lewandowski is the Director of the Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum, whose mission is to honor the veterans of Winnebago County.

Org helps 500 homeless teens in a year

By Katie Finlon WNIJ News

ROCKFORD — A conversation with his daughter about a year ago led one Rockford resident to create an organization helping hundreds of homeless teenagers in the area. Kevin Ware says Just Breathe 815 started with a clothes-donation box after his

daughter asked if there were any area groups that helped homeless teens specifically. Now, Ware says, the organization has helped about 500 teens and young adults in less than a year. “And it’s crazy,” Ware said. “Like, from April to where we are today, it’s just crazy.” Ware says the group’s resource center at Second Congregational Church in Rockford is open on Thursday and Sunday afternoons for teens to get meals, clothing and toiletries. He says it was important to have a safe place for teens to go, especially during those high-crime days of the week in Rockford. “The weekends, it seems like, there are always challenges,” Ware said. “So the teens are able to come in and have dinner, right, and learn about choices and dreams and goals.” Ware says community police officers also hang out with teens in the program to help show them that law enforcement is there to help. Volunteer Shayne Waldron says she and other Harlem School District moms wanted to help expand the program to include

sports equipment donations for kids. “Because I know what kind of impact sports have had on my boys and the life lessons they’ve learned from it,” Waldron said. “I just think if they want to play, they should be able to play because the benefits are limitless.” Just Breathe 815 Sports also plans to start collecting and distributing gently used sports equipment for kids in May.

Plan the perfect Easter in the Rockford region By Andrea Cook

CARROT TOP JUICE

Rockford Area CVB

I set out on a mission this week. One that I definitely accomplished. I wanted to see if a spontaneous drive (and phone calls) to some of my favorite local places could inspire the perfect Easter weekend in the Rockford region. While chatting with a few locals along the way - cue the lightbulb – I realized how lucky we are to have such caring and amazing people in our community doing what they love each and every single day. So, if you’re curious or maybe you’re still looking for Easter ideas, here are a few I discovered along the way!

Ingredients: pineapple (5.25 oz), seasonal apples (4.75 oz), orange carrots (5.5 oz), fresh ginger (4.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (3/4 cup) - may need to condense serving size. Directions: Wash and dry the fruit, cut and mix up all fruit into a bowl. Blend fruit with a juicer. Strain the juice through a double mesh strainer at least 3 times (to get rid of seeds, pulp, etc.), then add lemon juice to the mixture and mix. Garnish with a slice of pineapple!

TRUFFLE AIOLI DEVILED EGGS

Ingredients (Deviled Eggs): 1 dozen eggs, 6 avocados, 1/4 cup mayo, 1 Tbsp minced capers, 2 tsp dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp smoke paprika, salt/pepper to taste Ingredients (Truffle Aioli): 2 tsp lemon zest, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp black truffle oil, 1 tsp granulated garlic, 2 cups mayo, 1/4 cup chopped basil, salt/pepper to taste

1. To brunch or to host?...that is the question!

The age old question...to gather the family up and make it a brunch date or round up the Easter decor and host at home. You can’t go wrong either way but if you’re hosting at home, I stumbled upon some timeless items at Porch that will add that extra umph to your buffet, coffee table or fireplace. Whether you’re just looking for some bright, fun spring decor, or you’re looking for something more specific to Easter, you’ll find it at Porch! (Porch is located at 3065 N. Perryville Rd.) I then thought about what clever recipes I could discover on this journey to create the perfect Easter. So I contacted Sean Farr, a longtime friend and Culinary Director for Fresco at the Gardens. He’s been creating exquisite dishes in the Rockford region for several years, so when I asked him for a suggestion he was definitely ready for the challenge. Annndddd VOILA! We have Carrot Top Juice paired with Truffle Aioli Deviled Eggs! (See recipe to the right.) (Fresco at the Gardens is located at Anderson Japanese Gardens, 318 Spring Creek Rd.)

2. What to do and where to go?

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time at the RACVB it’s that there’s always something fun happening in the region.

Items at Porch

Carrot Top Juice and Truffle Aioli Deviled Eggs

Our Calendar of Events includes fun things to do with the family from Easter Egg Hunts to free movies at local theaters! I talked with another great friend Ann Marie Walker, Director of Marketing at the Discovery Center Museum and she had some great tips to get us all ready for the Eggstravanza and Egg Hunt happening on Saturday, March 31 at the Riverfront Museum Park! Tip #1 - Visitors should plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before scheduled egg hunt times to ensure there is enough time to get through admission and head to the hunt area. Tip #2 - Some eggs contain “GOLDEN TICKETS” for extra special prizes. Tip #3 - Eight different candies, plus stickers and tattoos await to be found inside the eggs! (Discovery Center Museum is located at 711 N. Main St.)

3. Spread some Easter love!

I always love the reaction when surprising someone with a fun gift. If you’re looking to surprise your loved ones or give yourself a happy little gift for the holiday...definitely check out Porch or Roxy Carmichael for festive items from plush bunnies (and other fun animals) to stylish clothing + accessories to wear this spring! (Roxy Carmichael is located at 310 N. Alpine Rd., Rockford) A quick trip and a few phone conversations later, I discovered some great suggestions straight from our locals that make each holiday (any day for that matter) in Rockford extra special. For other fun things to do and places to visit all year long, check out GoRockford.com! Have a very HAPPY EASTER everyone! Visit gorockford.com for more information about these locations.

Directions: Mix all Truffle Aioli ingredients until incorporated. Set aside. Cover 12 large eggs with water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 15 minutes and then drain immediately and cover with ice and cold water until cooled. Peel eggs, split and remove yolks. In mixing bowl, add mayo, minced capers, dijon mustard, smoked paprika and salt/ pepper to taste. If mixture seems dry, add more mayo. Pipe or spoon mixture into egg halves. Peel and quarter avocados. Lightly rub all sides with olive oil and season with salt/ pepper, then on a hot grill or pan, cook for about one minute on all sides. Plate build: Add arugula (suggestion), grilled avocado, deviled eggs, smoked salmon (suggestion), truffle aioli and other garnish as desired!

Reboots everywhere By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

If you’re experiencing a sense of déjà vu every time you turn on your television, you’re not alone. Between a new season of The X-Files wrapping up this week—and with co-star Gillian Anderson saying she won’t return if a 12th season is ordered, it could be the series’ second series finale—and a new season of Roseanne premiering March 27, it seems everything old is new again. In 2017 Showtime revived the short-

(Robert Pastorelli, who played Elden, died, and there’s no word yet whether Charles Kimbrough, now in his 80s, will reprise his role as anchorman Jim Dial.) Considering how much newsgathering

and reporting have changed in the digital age, it could be interesting seeing what Murphy and her colleagues are up to in the 21st Century. It can be fun for fans to catch up with classic characters from their favorite shows, but sometimes it’s a bit of a challenge for the shows. The writers of Roseanne faced bringing back a character who was killed off (John Goodman’s “Dan”) and working in both of the actresses who played Becky —Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke. If you haven’t already heard the spoilers, tune in Tuesday to see how they did it. Some shows haven’t been gone long enough to be missed. Less than two years after Fox cancelled American Idol a new version—with different judges but the same host—debuted on ABC. I bet some people didn’t even realize the original incarnation had been canceled. There are other types of reboots, too— entirely new versions of old favorites. The CW recently launched a new Dynasty with a new cast of actors giving their takes on the primetime soap’s iconic characters. The network also has plans to update more recent favorites like

Charmed and Roswell. ABC is developing a new take on Greatest American Hero (the central character— originally played by William Katt, son of local native Barbara Hale— has been reconceived as an IndianAmerican woman), as well as a live-action version of The Jetsons. Perhaps encouraged by the reception of Will & Grace 2.0, NBC has a couple more reboots in development: Miami Vice and The Munsters, but just because they’re in development doesn’t mean they’ll make it to air. There was another attempt to resurrect The Munsters back in 2012, but instead of going to series it wound up as a TV movie called Mockingbird Lane. R.

Koskinen next in Coronado on-stage shows, Friday DOW NTOW N — The Coronado Performing Arts Center opens up its stage to concertgoers once more as Erik Koskinen becomes the second guest in the Americana Music Series, this Friday at 8 p.m. Koskinen and his band are the blend of classic American folk, country, rock ‘n’ roll and blues all rolled into one. The Minnesota-based singer-songwriter recently released his new EP, Cruising Paradise, with features a half-dozen tracks recorded over the past few years. “There’s a wonderful raggedness and weary white-flag-waving to the EP that seems to sum up 2017 pretty well,” wrote the (Minneapolis) Star Tribune’s Chris Riemenschneider. “I’ve been working on all kinds of projects the past few years and have written a lot of new songs,” says Koskinen. “But these six seemed to have a thread all the way through, a story from song one to

song six.” Koskinen’s albums are a lyrical and musical metaphor of American’s theaters of war, of history, of relationships, and of the reflections in the mirror. Knowing but not didactic, Koskinen channels the ways of Whitman and reverently enters the anthology of uniquely crafted wry songs with the likes of Woody Guthrie and Ry Cooder while speaking as plainly as your neighbor. The Americana Music Series at the Coronado invites guests onto the stage with the artists for a unique music experience. The series kicked off last month with Rockford-native Ryley Walker. Koskinen will be joined for Friday’s performance by Rockford musician Derek Luttrell. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, the Coronado box office, or by phone at 800-745-3000.

At work, you’ll be asked to put in some overtime, and your hard work will be handsomely rewarded. A short training lesson will put you on track to reach your greatest professional goals. Someone will try to pressure you into making a decision. Follow your instincts and you’ll make the right choice, even though you won’t have all the time you’d like to weigh the pros and cons. Think of the happiness this decision could bring you.

GEMINI

Going back to school would solve most of your professional issues. Try to see the situation from a longterm perspective. This will motivate you to put in the effort required to reach your goals.

CANCER

Expect your friends and acquaintances to invite you to all sorts of events taking place over the coming weekend. Take advantage of the opportunity to socialize, especially if you’ve been on your own a lot lately.

LEO

Time is a valuable commodity. At home and at work, you’ll be in charge of handling all the emergencies this week. It isn’t always easy to balance a busy family life with a rewarding career.

VIRGO

You’ll most likely plan a fabulous romantic getaway before the end of the winter. Work may send you across the country — or, at the very least, to another town — to meet with an important client.

LIBRA

You’re going to have to keep your cool as you tackle some not-sostraightforward situations. You’ll find a creative solution to a financial problem that’s been bothering you.

SCORPIO

Whether it’s for business or for pleasure, you’ll be tasked with planning an event that will bring together scores of people. You’ll have lots of minutiae to attend to, and this could add to your stress.

SAGITTARIUS

The growing anxiety you’ve been feeling is about to take a clear toll on your health. Don’t let feelings that aren’t yours to feel overcome you. You’d probably benefit from some therapy.

CAPRICORN

You’ll rise to a challenge and make yourself proud. Even though some people only want to discourage you, your perseverance will pay off in the form of little miracles.

AQUARIUS

If you’re planning on moving in the foreseeable future, this week will prove the right time to start packing. A family member will be unusually demanding. Don’t let yourself get taken advantage of.

PISCES

You’ll have lots of moving around to do this week. Expect to either get stuck in traffic or have a hard time finding your destination. A little bit of planning never hurts.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF NURSING

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

Voices from the Grave

The strange case of Dr. Floyd D. Leach By Kathi Kresol Contributor

There was a point in Floyd Leach’s life when he must have felt that he led a charmed life. He really had it all. His wife was smart, beautiful and her family was financially well to do. Her family came from Austria where they were considered nobility. Floyd met Alice at Northwestern University where he was studying to be a doctor. He was charmed in that too. That degree led him from a distinguished time as a Doctor of the Medical Corps during World War I where he earned many medals to a prestigious dental practice. The time during the war was difficult for his family, of course. Alice’s family fought for the Central Powers alongside Germany and Bulgaria while Floyd’s family was loyal to the Allied Powers. Looking back these were the first cracks in the life Floyd was creating. After the war, Floyd and Alice settled in Chicago and had two children. Their son Campbell was born in 1913 and their daughter Betty was born in 1916. By 1926, the family lived in Hollywood California and Floyd was living the dream life he always wanted. His career as a “dentist to the stars” made it possible for him to rub elbows with some of the biggest names in the Hollywood Motion Picture Colony as the newspapers later called it. But the cracks that had started in his marriage during the war kept deepening. Alice became an invalid during 1915, shortly before the birth of her daughter. Facts are vague now, but during the trials

that took place in the late 1920s, it was hinted that an attack by Floyd caused Alice to become paralyzed. She would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. It later struck some as ironic that Floyd, who moved in the circles of famous actors and actresses seemed to be playing a part himself. But the cracks in his perfect world became chasms in 1927 and Floyd fled. He left behind his flourishing dental practice, his beautiful home, his wife and his children. Floyd’s family lived in this area and it was here that he came. He settled in Rockford and opened a new dental practice in the Blackhawk Building at the corner of West State and Wyman Streets. His life here was definitely a step down for Floyd. He went from a beautiful home in California to a three-room shack located on North Second Street. Floyd was trying to rebuild his life and he made friends with the local veterans. He decorated his little cottage with his war medals and pictures of his new found friends. Those same friends were shocked when news started to spread about Floyd’s odd behavior. He was seen at all hours of the night downtown by his new office. Floyd would wander the downtown area and spend the early hours of the mornings in several all-night diners. He often fought with neighbors and caused scenes with his anger. Those same friends grew very concerned when they woke on the morning of Dec. 9, 1929, to headlines speaking

Energy & Environment

Marking Earth Hour 2018 By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

This year, Earth Hour will be observed around the world on March 24. Beginning at 8:30 p.m. local time, and lasting for an hour, lights will go out around the globe in honor of the Earth and as a pledge to do our best to protect and preserve it. Lights that are not needed for health or safety will be darkened; a rolling blackout travelling round the world could be seen from space. Lights will only be darkened for an hour. The act is symbolic and enlightening. The amount of electricity saved during that one hour is impressive. In 2015, ComEd reported that when compared to

the previous hour, 100 megawatt hours less electricity was used in their northern Illinois service territory during the hour, “the equivalent of removing 154,500 pounds of carbon dioxide.” ComEd also offered other ways to save electricity during other hours of the year in addition to “turning off the lights,” including replacing lights with LED bulbs, using energy efficient (Energy Star) appliances, using a programmable thermostat, caulking and weather stripping windows and doors, closing drapes on summer days and leaving them open on sunny winter days, and simply turning off lights when leaving a room. Some years ago, a well-meaning friend

of their friends arrest in the murder of a popular high school teacher. Cordelia Gummersheimer was found dead in her bed by friends on Dec. 8, 1929. Floyd was arrested when police went to question him about his whereabouts during Sunday night. Authorities knew that the Floyd had been seen often in the vicinity of Cordelia’s apartment. His office was located not far from the place and he was seen sitting in his car facing the back of the building the day of the murder. The police had reports of Floyd’s strange behavior and were shocked when they finally caught up with him the day after the murder. Floyd’s car contained the bodies of several dead cats and dogs. When they searched his cottage, they found even more dead animals. He even had a dead mouse in the pocket of the suit he wore to work that day. The authorities questioned the dentist about this bizarre find. He stated that he was interested in taxidermy and was making a fur rug from the pelts of the dead animals. When they mentioned the mouse that they found in his pocket, Floyd said he carried because it felt nice. Floyd was arrested and held for a few days and the local veterans grew afraid for him. They were afraid that Floyd who was obviously not in his right mind would stand no chance if the police decided to pin the horrible murder on him. Emotions ran high in the town and Cordelia’s friends, colleagues, students and their parents all were demanding that the police find the killer of the young teacher.

Floyd’s friends banded together and got him released based on the fact that there was no evidence that tied Floyd to the murder. The police couldn’t even prove that the two knew each other. The courts agreed and freed Floyd. Floyd’s friends saved him from the police but they couldn’t protect him from himself. The scandal of his arrest and the stories of his strange behavior caused his dental practice to suffer and Floyd’s drinking increased. Authorities from California finally were able to get Floyd extradited back to California to face trial for the abandonment of his family. Floyd reacted badly during the trial and the court was astonished when Floyd stated that he shouldn’t have to support his family. Alice’s family tried to have Floyd declared insane but the courts didn’t agree with that diagnosis. The judge felt sorry for Floyd but had no choice but to put him in jail. The judge stated that maybe some time in San Quentin would change his mind about his family. Floyd Leach arrived there in 1932. Captain Floyd Dewitt Leach was buried in 1941 in Los Angeles National Cemetery. The murder of Cordelia Gummersheimer was never solved. R. Kathi Kresol is a local author and historian whose has been researching and writing about Rockford’s history for over a decade. She shares these stories in her books, this column, and by hosting tours. Please visit her website at hauntedrockford.com for more articles and information about the events.

sent us the photo of Earth from space at night, with densely populated areas brilliantly illuminated. His comment was, “This is awesome!” How much more “awesome” to see all of the Earth’s lights, from the Eiffel Tower through the Empire State Building and Chicago’s iconic skyline to the Sydney Opera House extinguished for an hour each — a voluntary rolling blackout by all of Earth’s people pledging dedication to saving our precious planet. Although turning lights off for only one of the 8,760 hours of the year is a symbolic gesture, it reveals “an unprecedented global mandate for action on climate change.” How much more impressive it would be if the lights stayed out throughout the night — not only a rolling blackout, a progressive one. The celebration began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, as a demonstration of unity to remind us “that together, each one of us [using our individual voices and

actions to stop climate change] can make a difference on this global issue.” Since then it has become the largest voluntary environmental event in the world. Experiencing an hour of natural darkness will also allow people to enjoy the wonder and beauty of the night, stargazing, lighting candles, reading books or sitting near the fireplace. The International Dark Sky Society suggests that people report how many stars they see in the constellations the Little Dipper and Orion that night as opposed to the rest of the year (darksky.org/mc/page.do). Earth Hour will also allow people to reconnect with each other without the intrusion of electronic diversions. Urge your community to participate in Earth Hour. Organize your own family and friends. Enjoy an hour together in the natural dark of night, considering and planning how you can do your part. Visit illinoisrenew.org. R.

More observations from MGC’s trip to Cuba By Allen Penticoff

Columnist

n the way into Havana from the airport, you may have noticed a complete absence of advertising, save the occasional political billboard. Advertising is limited to a sign on the front of your business… and we found shops of any kind well hidden. Good luck shopping! Great restaurants galore though. The main way to get around Cuba is the highway bus. There are two major bus companies – Viazul (that can be reserved over the internet, but don’t count on finding a seat) and Transfur/ Transgiovotta that sells seats at hotels and agencies. We had no luck with Viazul - but good luck and service with Transfur. The appointed “departure time” is really when they expect you to be ready to board. They will call your name from a list and check you off. The need for this becomes apparent at the rest stop. The headcount attendant will be aboard the bus as well. The driver will handle the luggage. The buses are all modern, sleek, comfortable new and Chinese built (but don’t count on a working toilet aboard). The bus will move out onto an eightlane highway that narrows to six lanes and then four lanes – getting progressively rougher the further away from Havana you get. The driver will use the smoothest lanes most of the time. Traffic is usually light – because relatively few Cubans own cars. The highways feature ordinary interstate interchanges and these roads have excellent signage. You’ll see a lot of people trying to flag down rides and more than a few broken down old cars along the way. The trip from downtown Havana to Vinales takes 3-4 hours and costs $14 one-way. There was a 30-minute stop at a large “Tiki style” rest area along the way – not unlike our highway oases (on the return trip we did not stop at the rest area). Similarly, the trip to Trinidad was six hours with a rest stop and some intermediate stops in Cienfuegos and other places. Cost was $25 one way. Once the manually shifted bus exits the freeway, the driver is on two-lane road that is barely wide enough for two buses to meet in passing. All the very professional bus drivers had nerves of steel – often passing within inches of traffic. The bus bounces and sways a lot on the undulating and winding roads. You could easily become motion-sick. The driver often mashes on the brakes for some surprise – like a horse cart on the road – in a blind curve. The bus comes to a crawl until the driver can see

The view from inside the bus behind a livestock wagon towed by a tractor in no rush to get out of the way of the bus. Two guys ride with the cattle. These scenes are common around the island. Photo, Allen Penticoff it is clear to pass the cart that has not budged an inch. Makes for slow going at times. I don’t really recommend sitting up front where you can see what is going on. It appears a bit hairy at times. All that because renting a car is very expensive and you don’t have the nerves to deal with what goes on. A taxi trip to Trinidad will be faster but will set you back $176 one-way. So you ride the bus. In most towns, including Havana, there will be “collectivo” taxis that pool riders together to share the cost of a trip from one town to another. You’ll need to ask around for one. They have lots of buses. You will not ride the packed smelly smog belching cheap old city buses (some of which are double buses) or the country “chicken” buses. The Cuban train system is so bad the Cubans won’t use it. However, in-country airfare can be quite reasonable to some destinations. Because of the way their economy works – not that many goods are transported via the highway, so the roads are not clogged with tractor-trailers. Indeed, most food is organic because they don’t have commercial fertilizers and is grown within the province. Not much food is transported between provinces. Thus, great seafood in Vinales that has two

nearby coasts. Less so in Havana, which is on the ocean, but lacks fishing fleets. Fruit and vegetables follow a similar pattern. I did find a jar of asparagus in a gas station store in Vinales for $5. Too pricey for most Cubans. Getting about in Old Havana will be mostly on foot as the distances are not far between attractions. Taxis are easy to find and range from small yellow sedans to huge pink Cadillac convertibles (I’ll have a future column exclusively about the old American cars in Cuba). Most rides cost $10 to get to the usual places. They will not put four people in a car that seats three passengers. Find a bigger taxi or split up. Other odd ways to get about are the tuck-tucks – little three-wheel motor scooters with a yellow egg-like open passenger shell. We never took one despite the desire to. Same with the three-wheeled pedi-cab that will move two of you. Bicycles, scooters and small motorcycles (another separate column) are in vast use – but not much by us tourists (with some exceptions). Early morning taxis should be arranged for in advance – they will show up early for the appointment. Taxi drivers often open the doors and will handle the bigger luggage, but don’t expect tips – although some

may build that into the cost of the ride by overcharging the unknowing – even when you try to negotiate in advance (which you should always do). Tip if you had a good ride. It is much appreciated. Beware the “arranger” who finds you a taxi. Taxis are not hard to find and the arranged ride may end up costing you more. Taxi drivers will often come back later to provide a ride back, if requested, at no additional charge. Convertible rides will cost double – but it is worth it to roll along the famous seaside Malecon road with the driver serving as tour guide. We did this in a classic blue 1951 Chevy convertible. Taxi drivers often speak very good English. Cuba has a high priority on education and many people have college educations in professional fields. Ironically doctors, engineers and other professionals find they can make a better living driving a taxi than working in their profession. This is true of some of the wait staff in the better restaurants as well. In all we were quite surprised at the percent of the Cuban population that can speak English reasonably well - despite our 50 years of political stalemate. The people, and I dare say even the government, is quite friendly towards people from the United States. When President Obama opened relations with Cuba in 2016, us citizens of the USA flocked to Cuba in droves. The Cubans geared up their economy to receive us. Then in 2017 the Trump Administration reverted to the old cold shoulder embargo. Why? The Cuban military poses no threat to us – and their economy is turning capitalist. Personally, I believe removing the embargo and conducting free trade with the Cubans will speed the transition of changing their economy from heavily government controlled to a moderate capitalist one similar to European countries. The Cuban people themselves are eager to earn a buck. It would also be VERY nice to be able to use an American bank credit card in Cuba. Now it is all cash for us and exchanging our money has an additional fee that Euro using countries don’t have. No ATMs for us either. As we were among a relatively small number of Americans in Cuba at this time; the people we met were somewhat surprised to learn we were from the USA. There are plenty of tourists from everywhere else. We are not a majority at this time. I think they would be delighted to buy cars made in the USA. Japanese and Chinese cars dominate the newer car fleet of taxis and private cars in Cuba now. To be continued... R.

Adding cranberries to the backyard garden By Grant McCarty Contributor

Cranberries are a plant that many backyard growers are interested in trying out; however, you do not commonly see them at home and garden centers. When you hear about cranberries, immediately you think of cranberry bogs, large pools of cranberries growing in them. In fact, if you have traveled on Interstate 90 toward Minneapolis, you will commonly see these bogs on either side while in Wisconsin. Almost half of cranberry production in the United States comes from Wisconsin. You do not need a bog to grow cranberries. Because cranberries float, growers create these bogs in order to harvest the berries. The North American cranberry is the common type that is grown for juice and for thanksgiving meals. Because of their tartness, they are usually combined with a sweetener. You may also see the North American-Low bush cranberry. This one is different as it is commonly called lingonberry. While not as tart, you may find it does not grow as well in our planting zone. Before you plant your cranberry plant, know that it can take up to 4 years before it produces fruit. The cranberry plant is a small,

evergreen shrub. At maturity, it reaches a height of around 1 foot. Like blueberry plants, cranberry plants need acidic soil with a pH of 4.0-5.3. Most likely your growing area is not acidic enough. A soil test will tell you what your soil pH is but if you have to lower the soil pH, you may find that you do not have enough time to do this before planting this spring. Other strategies can be to make a raised bed or see if you could grow it in a planter. Unlike other berry plants, cranberry plants do not need to be pruned. Space your plants 2-3 feet between and plant an additional plant to assist with pollination. The leaves on the plant will live for two seasons before they are shed. The plant will flower in late June and early July with pinkish-white flowers at the end of the stems, hanging upside down. The flowers are self-pollinated with berries that will be green then white and finally the red color. This color changing process can be a long time between 60-120 days after pollination. R. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension. His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

NFL Offseason

Breaking down the Bears’ free agency one of the handful of NFL players that can score on any given play he touches the ball. Chicago now has the electric Tarik Cohen and Gabriel on the same roster. That’s an unfair fact. A fact that should make plenty of defensive coordinators lose sleep at night. It’s a measure of hype that the burner Gabriel is ready to live up to.

Cody Parkey, K

4 years, $15 million, $9 million guaranteed: B Parkey’s signing is the greatest indicator that the Bears plan to be immediately relevant. That their timeline to go compete for a championship is now, not two or three years down the line. That’s because if you’re going to build a successful, high-flying offense, you need a kicker to be able to capitalize on points on the rare occasions you don’t reach the end zone. You need a kicker that can excel in crunch time with a pressure kick when your franchise quarterback puts you in a position to win. Ever since releasing Gould back in 2016, the Bears haven’t had that. With a former record rookie scoring leader in 2014 that made over 90 percent of his 2017 kicks in Parkey, they finally have stability that can be relied upon again. The Bears were able to add wideout Allen Robinson, one of the top offensive weapons in this year’s free agency crop, giving Mitchell Trubisky a legitimate No. 1 target. Photo, @chicagobears

redit is due when called for. The most glaring need for the Bears going into the 2018 off-season was offensive weaponry. If the team was going to put second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky into a position to succeed, the worst NFL skill position group needed to be overhauled. In one whirlwind free agency week, general manager Ryan Pace accomplished one of his primary goals in finally turning the Bears into a relevant championship contender. He went out and acquired weapons that can put Chicago back on the map. The haul for the Bears is impressive and paints the picture of a team ready and willing to win now. What Pace accomplished on the open market deserves proper acclaim. Whether he was unshackled by the constraints of a lame duck coach in John Fox, or felt he needed to make his mark now, Pace was a man on a mission this free agency period. A man determined to bring his charter franchise back into the light. Let’s grade each signing and re-signing made by the Bears and Pace in 2018’s free agency.

Allen Robinson, WR

3 years, $42 million, $18 million guaranteed: A The top available receiver on the market, the Bears made sure to put on the full-court

press for Robinson as soon as it was discovered the Jaguars wouldn’t franchise tag him. They never let up. Robinson is now the necessary game-breaking facet to Chicago’s offense. A playmaker that you can’t stop with any simple coverage. A true No. 1 receiver that’s a mismatch for almost anyone lined up across from him. And, most importantly, he’s the security blanket that Trubisky can consistently trust. Robinson is set to be a star in Chicago, and for good reason. The 24-year-old’s bright future is ahead of him. There’s no doubt: the Bears hit a home run with his signing.

Trey Burton, TE

4 years, $32 million, $22 million guaranteed: B+ One of the most important contributors to the Eagles’ first-ever Super Bowl victory this past February, Burton comes to the Bears in a similar multi-faceted role. As one of the most versatile offensive players in football, Nagy and company will ask Burton to line up most anywhere. They’ll split him out on the outside as a receiver. They’ll put him in the backfield to lead block. They may even have him occasionally throw passes to Trubisky, like he did to Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles on Super Sunday. Behind starter Adam Shaheen, Burton gives the Bears a dimension they’ve been lacking of late offensively: capable unpredictability.

Taylor Gabriel, WR

4 years, $26 million, $14 million guaranteed: B+ After striking out on rumored top slot slash diminutive target Albert Wilson, the Bears wasted no time to pounce on their fallback option in the 5-foot-8 Gabriel. And what a fallback he is as

Chase Daniel, QB

sive needs, attention turned towards the defense and a still-gaping hole on the pass rushing edge. That’s where former 49er Lynch, who played one year for his mentor in current Bears’ defensive coordinator Vic Fangio in 2014, comes in. It’s been a struggle of late for Lynch as he fell out of favor with a shifting regime in San Francisco. This is Chicago’s bet that Fangio can unlock a player that previously enjoyed 12.5 sacks total back in 2014 and 2015. There’s talent here, it merely has to be brought back out again. Lynch won’t be the answer to the Bears’ edge woes, but he’s a solid start towards a solution.

Prince Amukamara, CB

3 years, $27 million, $18 million guaranteed: C+ Amukamara’s return to Chicago makes sense. For one, he enjoyed the best year of his career in 2017 alongside the returning Fuller. For the other, he’s rarely played in 16 games in his career, has a history of injury issues overall, and might become a liability should teams target him more moving forward. Not to mention the guaranteed money that should signal the Bears’ plan to draft a developmental replacement in April. As a No. 2 cornerback, Amukamara will likely be fine in his role. But if not, Chicago could be in trouble on one defensive boundary.

2 years, $10 million, $7 million guaranteed: C+ It’s said in the NFL that you’re only as good as your backup quarterback. The Bears have taken that proverb to heart by making Daniel the second-highest paid back-up in football, despite the 31-year-old having just two career starts. Ideally, Daniel’s notorious penchant for X’s and O’s work in Nagy’s offense rubs off on Trubisky as a professional. That’s why he’s here ultimately: to bring along the face of the franchise properly. To the dire extreme, the Bears obviously have the faith that Daniel can fill in when needed despite a limited sample size. It’s a small leap of faith, but a leap nonetheless.

Sam Acho, Edge

Kyle Fuller, CB

1 year, $1.5 million, $500,000 guaranteed: C While Parkey’s signing showed that the Bears plan to score points, how slowly Chicago moved on bringing back their punter could show how little they actually plan to punt. Jokes aside, the 27-year-old O’Donnell has steadily grown each season as a punter. With plenty of practice in 2017, he was resurgent and showed himself to be a solid field position weapon. If the Bears are going to contend, this hidden battle that’ll be waged by “MegaPunt” in O’Donnell couldn’t be ignored.

4 years, $56 million, $18 million guaranteed: B Drama ensued towards the end of the first wave of free agency when it was revealed that the transition-tagged Fuller had signed an offer sheet from the rival Packers. Many wondered whether the Bears would let their best cornerback, a homegrown talent, walk away to strengthen a division rival depending on the offer. They received a definite answer when Chicago, as was their right according to the tag, quickly matched three hours later. This, of course, was part of the Bears’ plan to let the cornerback figure his worth and come back once an appropriate contract offer was agreed to that they were comfortable with. They understood his market going in and their strategy of a transition tag worked wonders. There was never any chance Fuller would be allowed to go to Green Bay. So ended any drama of Fuller’s long-term future with the Bears.

Aaron Lynch, Edge

1 year, $4 million, $1.25 million guaranteed: C+ Once the Bears filled out their pertinent offen-

2 years, $7.5 million: C Acho is the Bears’ consummate professional. A good soldier well-liked by everyone in the organization that provides depth on special teams and defense. For the past few seasons, he had been operating on one-year deals with Chicago. His faith and drive was finally rewarded with a two-year contract that offers a measure of security for someone at Halas Hall that really earned that benefit.

Pat O’Donnell, P

Bradley Sowell, OL

2-year contract: D Sowell didn’t have much of a role with the Bears in 2017, as he isn’t any good. If he’s pressed into action, the way he was in late December, then Chicago is in poor shape on the offensive line. Depending on unrevealed guaranteed money, it’s difficult to envision him making the roster out of training camp. There’s plenty of time for better, younger options to arise before the end of August.
