After home rule downed, utility tax on the way By Jim Hagerty Contributor

CITY HALL — Rockford aldermen on Monday approved the 2018 budget, five days ahead of their March 31 deadline. The plan, conditionally approved last week as Plan B, includes the expected 5-percent utility tax Rockford residents will start seeing on their gas and electric bills. The utility tax will generate $3.5 million in 2018 and about $9 million a year moving forward. Officials say it will cost residential and small business ComEd and Nicor customers around $10 per month, based on a scale created by state law. And while the tax will right the ship this year without raising property taxes, it’s not a permanent fix. A looming pension crisis and other economic woes in Springfield could result in systemic issues on the local level. “In the short term, the utility tax is the easiest option,” Mayor Tom McNamara said. “In 2013, our pension obligation was less than $10 million. In 2017, our pension obligation was over $17 million. That $17 million is going to creep over $60 million by 2040. We will need new revenue at some point because you can’t cut your way out of this.”

Aldermen Tuffy Quinonez, Linda McNeely and Venita Hervey voted against the utility tax. Hervey has been a vocal opponent of the levy and said she cannot get behind it–not even reluctantly–because she promised those in her Fifth Ward she wouldn’t. “It’s a promise I am not going to break,” Hervey said. McNeely, who spoke out against home rule, said it’s time for Rockford to “face the music,” then voted “no.” “The voters of Rockford voted home rule down,” McNeely said. “The voters knew this was a possibility. The mayor was adamant that this was going to come if home rule did not pass. The taxpayers of this city knew exactly what they voted for. But I don’t want to support a utility tax. For my constituents, five or 10 dollars is going to make a difference.” Quinonez said he would rather look within for a solution. He said the utility tax, which is a regressive levy, will hurt senior citizens not only in the 11th Ward but throughout Rockford. “I think we could have taken some more out of the fat in the city,” the longtime bar owner said. “We could have cut more services, more staff.”

McNamara said he is not in favor of the new tax either. And he agrees with some of the concerns echoed by McNeely and Quinonez but said neither came to the table with a concrete alternative. “We had over 70 meetings talking about it,” the mayor said. “There’s nothing that crept up on a single alderman or should it have crept up on a single citizen.” The 2018 budget leaves a surplus of about $350,000 that could be used in variety of ways. “Our intention is to monitor the implementation of the financial task force recommendations,” Finance Director Carrie Eklund said. “And should we encounter delays in implementing any of them, the surplus would be a cushion. If the funds are not needed for balancing the operational budget, staff will recommend capital improvement to fire stations toward the end of the fiscal year.” Some of the citizen-led task force recommendations include revisions to the animal services agreement with Winnebago County and changes in snow-removal services, building permits and business licenses.

Rockford festival celebrates an icon

1. Online: Take Our Survey before June 15 at www.rockfordparkdistrict.org

2. In-Person: Attend an Community Engagement Session ∙ Tuesday, April 3 | 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. Atwood Education Center (2685 New Milford School Rd, Rockford, IL)

ROCKFORD — The local arts community will celebrate musical icon Leonard Bernstein during the month of April. The festival, “Leonard Bernstein at 100,” is being led by the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. RSO Education and Community Engagement Director Margo Stedman said Bernstein’s many accomplishments as a composer, conductor and music educator are reason enough to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth. But there is another reason, she said, that she finds really exciting: Bernstein’s links to the city. Bernstein’s life-long secretary, Helen Coates, was born in Rockford and graduated from then Rockford College. And Bernstein himself came to the College in 1966 to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree. “The fact that he came to our community,” she said, “that he was so connected through this woman, Miss Coates, [who] was such a big part of his life, makes it really special that we’re able to celebrate his contribution to the American musical landscape.” Stedman said getting a grant for “Leonard Bernstein at 100” from the National Endowment for the Arts was a boost, and not just financially. “I think bringing that prestige and recognition to our community is really

important,” she said, “especially as Rockford continues to grow and thrive, and people are feeling positive about Rockford and all of the positive things that are going on around here. This is just adding and contributing to that, and we’re really proud of that.” The festival also received funding from the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. Stedman said the grants reflect the efforts she and many others put in over the past two years to create a festival showing the many facets of Bernstein’s genius. Stedman said the festival is a citywide collaboration, with many Rockford arts and cultural organizations and institutions — including the RSO, Rockford Symphony Youth Orchestra, Rockford Dance Company, Rockford Arts Museum, Rockford University Performing Arts Department, Mendelssohn Chorale, and others — participating. Performances and other events will span of several weeks, from April 12-28. Classical WNIU 90.5 will broadcast an encore presentation of the April 28 RSO concert on May 7 at 7 p.m. A schedule of festival events, as well as information on Bernstein and his links to Rockford, can be found at its website, Leonard Bernstein at 100: sites.google.com/ site/leonardbernsteinat100/home.

South Beloit company honored by EPA By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — Treehouse Foods, of South Beloit, was the only Illinois manufacturing plant to earn ENERGY STAR certification from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2017. The cookie plant at 1450 Pate Plaza Drive was one of 93 U.S. manufacturers to earn the certification for energy performance. Together, the facilities reduced their energy bills by almost $340 million, saved more than 60 trillion British thermal units (Btu) of energy. The effort also included a reduction of 4 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. The savings are enough to meet the annual energy needs of almost 360,000 American households. “Earning ENERGY STAR certification is a real mark of excellence, highlighting companies that are leaders in cutting energy costs and reducing waste,” EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation Bill Wehrum said. “This program is in direct line with the administration’s priorities to support American manufacturing— greater efficiency fosters industrial development, greater competitiveness, a strong economy, and a healthy environment.” The news comes a day after new Treehouse CEO and President Steven Oakland took over for outgoing CEO Sam Reed, who’s retiring in July. Based in Oak Brook, Treehouse is a manufacturer of packaged foods and beverages with a network of facilities

across the United States, Canada, and Italy. It markets primarily private-label products for retail grocery and food-away-fromhome customers. A total of 23 Midwest companies earned certification in 2017. Among them are Honda Manufacturing in Greensburg, Indiana; Kellogg Company, of Terre Haute, Indiana; and Bimbo Bakeries USA in Dubuque, Iowa. Treehouse plants in Princeton, Kentucky; Tonawanda, New York also made the list. The ENERGY STAR industrial program provides industry-specific energy tools and resources for 17 different types of manufacturing plants. Last year, plants in a variety of sectors qualified, including automotive, baking, cement, corn refining, food processing and glass manufacturing. Through voluntary participation, the program has saved American families and businesses $430 billion in energy costs since 1992. Treehouse’s South Beloit plant was formerly owned by Conagra Foods. The company purchased Conagra’s private-label operation in 2015 for $2.7 billion in cash, making Treehouse the largest private-label food and beverage manufacturer in the United States. Conagra made a $15 million investment in South Beloit before the Treehouse sale, adding more than 150 employees and moving some of the operation to Ripon, Wisconsin. The company currently employs approximately 400 people at the South Beloit facility. R.

Crime & Courts

Ex-dance company director jailed on child sex charges By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — A man arrested for allegedly exposing himself to children and staff at a Rockford church is the former artistic director the Rockford Dance Company. Police say 41-year-old Waylan Anderson, of Rockford, was arrested Friday at St. Mary’s Church, 517 Elm Street. On Feb. 28, and again on March 17, the Rockford Police Department received complaints that a man was exposing himself at St. Mary’s. Two of the victims were minors, one under 13. “After both incidents, officers searched the church and surrounding area for the suspect with negative results,” Rockford

Police Lt. Kurt Whisenand said. Whisenand said Anderson was identified as a suspect during a follow-up investigation by detectives from the Sensitive Crimes Unit. The case was later reviewed by the Winnebago County State’s Attorney’s Office and a warrant was issued for his arrest. According to a police report, Anderson was found nude near a shrine outside the church. He’s been charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child and three counts of trespassing. Anderson served as the artistic director of Rockford Dance Company from July 2014 through January 2016. Details of his resignation remain unclear although company board spokesmen said it was determined that Anderson was not a good fit.

Also known as Wayland Anderson, he announced after his departure that he did not resign and was negotiating a return to the company. He later announced that he was starting his own dance company, the Wayland Anderson School of Dance, which has never opened. Courts records show that Anderson was charged with theft, criminal damage to property and trespassing in 2017, an incident that involved the Rockford Dance Company. In that case, he was sentenced to 180 days in jail, ordered to pay fines in the amount of $1,109.29, and have no contact with his former employer. An active order of protection granted in 2016 orders Anderson to stay away from a Rockford man until January 29, 2019.

The Rockford Dance Company could not be reached for comment. Anderson interacted with children as young as 3 when worked for the organization, however, there are no reports that he acted inappropriately during that time. Anderson boasted an extensive resume before coming to Rockford. He worked as a choreographer with the Lone Star Ballet in Amarillo, Texas and danced with the Columbia City Ballet in Columbia, South Carolina. Anderson is lodged in the Winnebago County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He’s due in court April 26. R.

Smoking ban part of everyday life 10 years later SPRINGFIELD — Ten years after the indoor smoking ban was enacted in Illinois, it has become part of everyday life. The statewide ban went into effect on Jan. 1, 2008, The (Springfield) State JournalRegister reported. It was criticized by some local bar owners and pushed by public health advocates. In 2006, Springfield, Illinois enacted its own ordinance that banned indoor smoking. Bruce Strom, then a member of the Springfield City Council, worked to present the ordinance to the council with the help of the American Heart Association and the American Lung Association. “I was actually the spearhead in Springfield for it at the time,” Strom said. Strom said that, according to data, far more people were non-smokers and

very smart in that they got individual communities to enact smoking bans and then (they) became advocates for a statewide ban,” said Maisch. “They recognized that their restaurants and bars were at a competitive disadvantage to other communities that didn’t have a smoking ban.” But supporters of smok ing bans contended that there would be massive health benefits. “Tobacco companies were hiding health information on the health effects from smoke, whether it was tobacco or non-smoking tobacco,” Strom said. “They were hiding things that had an impact on people’s health.” –Associated Press

Illinois fails to recoup $76M in Medicaid overpayment By John O’Connor

many of them supported an indoor ban. But he said the problem was rallying them toward it. After some back-and-forth with the council, Strom’s version of the ordinance was thrown out due to amendments. Thenmayor Tim Davlin introduced a similar measure that was approved. According to t he Un ited Hea lt h Foundation, smoking dropped in the state from about 20 percent of adults to 15 percent between 2008 and 2017. Only two years, 2009 and 2012, showed an increase. Todd Maisch is the president and CEO of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. He said his organization was fervently opposed to the measure because it banned a legal product. “The proponents of smoking bans were

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration hasn’t recouped $76 million in overpayments to private Medicaid-program insurers dating back five years, two state audits found. The reviews by Auditor General Frank Mautino, released last week, of the Department of Human Services and Department of Healthcare and Family Services also determined that they paid $71 million for Medicaid services without checking whether the clients were still eligible. And 74,649 requests for services have gone unanswered for more than the maximum 45 days, with the oldest dating to 2014. A Healthcare and Family Services spokesman said the payments are being recouped. The findings are critical because they involve Medicaid managed care organizations, or MCOs, the private insurance-run system for low-income and disabled residents. Under the General Assembly’s direction, the administration last fall moved 800,000 more Medicaid clients to purportedly cost-saving managed care. Managed care now handles 80 percent of

the state’s 3.4 million Medicaid cases. Rauner, a former private-equity investor who has repeatedly railed against waste and mismanagement and championed a private-business approach to government, downplayed the findings. “Clerical errors, or mistakes, get made, and they get made in business, too, I hate to break it to you,” Rauner said at a Springfield stop last week. “It’s a few million dollars. When you find a problem, you correct it, and you constantly improve it.” Mautino determined that the state has paid 12 MCOs $22.5 billion since 2013. In one finding, Healthcare and Family Services left $65 million on the table from 2013 to 2015 by not collecting so-called medical-loss ratio refunds, or money owed the state because the MCO didn’t meet the percentage of direct-care costs it promised. Another finding determined that HFS had paid the MCOs $11 million for incentives the companies didn’t earn. And both departments were to blame, the audits said, for a backlog of 74,649 requests for social services that hadn’t been evaluated in the required 45 days. The oldest dates to 2014. A spokesman for Human Services did not respond to a request for comment.

John Hoffman, spokesman for HFS, said the state began seeking reimbursement of the medical-loss ratio payments before the audit began. He said new system programming and the time it took to ensure accurate calculations delayed seeking reimbursement. “A full understanding of Medicaid, including its managed care operations, will show that the department has been efficiently monitoring its programs in the best interest of our members and the taxpayers,” Hoffman said. Eligibility determinations for 8,187 cases that had Medicaid services paid are about half complete, Hoffman said. And a new system begun this year automatically cuts off benefits if a client fails to respond to a notice seeking eligibility. The backlog of people seeking services should drop precipitously now that a new eligibility system is in place and substantial training for caseworkers is completed, Hoffman said. “Replacing an outdated system more than 40 years old to better serve our members and taxpayers can cause challenges, and we are working to reduce any inconveniences,” Hoffman said.

State Bicentennial

The heart of the Interstate system By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

Its neighbor to the east may claim “The Crossroads of America” title, but by nearly any measure, Illinois is the heart of the U.S. Interstate system. Illinois has the third highest total of Interstate routes and mileage. Only New York and California have more I-designated roadways, with 7- and 25-million more residents, respectively. Only Texas and California routes cover more mileage, though those states are 5- and 3-times larger by territory. And the importance of the routes — many of which were designed to pass through or near Chicago, with its access to the global economy — further spell out the importance of Illinois as a hub of trans-U.S. travel. The two longest treks of the Interstate system, I-90 and I-80, pass through Illinois on their coast-to-coast journeys. And two key connections to the Gulf States, I-55 and I-65, reach their nadir in the Chicago area. Add in I-57, I-64, I-70 and I-94 and an Illinois driver can reach almost every population center in the nation by navigating one interchange. “Illinois is at the heart of the country’s interstate highway system,” the Illinois Department of Transportation boasts. That was not without intent: When the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways was authorized in 1956, Illinois was the fourth most-populous state in the nation (Texas and Florida leaped over Illinois in the rankings during the second-half of the 20th century). Illinois was a key part of the economic structure of the country: Its endless fields a critical part of the food supply; its inland port a means for the Midwest industrial centers to reach the outside world; its trainyards the center by which the entire U.S. rail system operated around. It was natural, then, that the original Interstate plan released in 1955 saw key arteries originate and pass through Illinois, including I-55, I-57, I-64, I-70, I-74, I-80, I-90 and I-94. Illinois was cementing its place as the heart of the nation’s roads. As the Interstate system began to take shape, Illinois’ road budget began its long climb to the present-day $14.1 billion figure. Maintenance costs ballooned from $59.6 million to $128.1 million during the 1950s. A state commission recommended the formation of IDOT, bringing the transportation system, including the interstates, under a single office in Springfield. When IDOT formed in 1972, only I-64 remained incomplete from the U.S. government’s original Interstate plan, and I-72, then spanning from Champaign to Springfield, had been added to the state’s growing highway system. Throughout this

Illinois and its Interstate system is key to the U.S. economic structure, serving its food supply, inland ports and trainyard hubs in the center of the county. Photo, AP rapid transition of the Illinois’s highway system, the bane of existence for commuters in and around the Chicago area came into existence: the Illinois Tollway. As the state struggled to complete modern highways during World War II, the first tollway commission was established, becoming the Illinois State Toll Highway Commission in 1953. The initial three toll roads, completed by 1958 – the Jane Addams, Tri-State and East-West Tollways – all were eventually rolled into the Interstate system as the nationwide spiderweb of superhighways began to take shape. Today, the re-christened Toll Authority has added I-355 and state Route 390 among the ranks of its administered roads. By the early 1990s, the majority of the modern Illinois Interstate system was complete. As the USDOT planned supplementary highways in the 1960s and 1970s to fill in gaps between anchor roads of the

original 1956 decree, Illinois laid down pavement over its vast farmlands. I-24 was completed in the south of the state, and the state’s portion of I-64 was completed in 1974. State Route 5, the original moniker of the East-West Tollway, saw a re-designation to I-88 in 1987 as Illinois sought to raise the speed limit on the route connecting Chicago to the Quad Cities. With that, I-39 saw its first segment replace the existing U.S. 51 from U.S. 20 outside Rockford to Rochelle. While IDOT had requested I-39 to stretch from the Wisconsin border to Marion County, the length of the proposed highway was shortened through a number of revisions, with the final route ending at Bloomington. U.S. 51 was upgraded through to Decatur as part of the overhaul. Since the completion of I-39 in 1992, Illinois has seen only one new Interstate: the 9/10ths of a mile I-41 in Lake County. That roadway came about as a construct of

the Wisconsin DOT re-purposing U.S. 41, from the north suburbs of Chicago to Green Bay, into an Interstate of its own. Its brief stint in Illinois sees it paired with I-94 as it crosses the state line. All told, 24 routes — 13 primary and 11 secondary — compose the modern Illinois Interstate, covering some 2,500 miles. And while Indiana may continue to lay claim to that “crossroads” crown, as Illinois celebrates 200 years — with nearly 1,000 more miles of blue-and-red-signed roadways than its eastern neighbor — its residents should know that it is still the true heart of America’s fascination with the highway.. The weekly Illinois Bicentennial series is brought to you by the Illinois Associated Press Media Editors and Illinois Press Association. More than 20 newspapers are creating stories about the state’s history, places and key moments in advance of the Bicentennial on Dec. 3, 2018.

This article is titled “People, Places and Events.” Most of the topics relate to the law. Several of them apply to certain individuals in the news. These people span across a pretty wide spectrum of character – or character disorders. Featured persons include a brave female judge on a Metra train, a brave – but poorly treated – member of the military facing deportation, a very tired judge, an excessively tardy attorney, and a woman who enjoys tanning beds and CrossFit to an extreme. I also threw in an overly dramatic attorney for good measure. Here we go. Miguel Perez Jr., an Illinois army veteran, was denied an application for U.S. citizenship by an immigration judge. Mr. Perez came to this country when he was eight years of age and holds a green card. He served time in

prison for a non-violent drug charge in 2017. Notwithstanding the fact that he served two tours of duty in Afghanistan and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, he faces deportation. Winnebago County and the City of Rockford have sued manufacturers and distributors of prescription opioids in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges 20 defendants, consisting of wholesale distributors and manufacturers, abused their positions by continuing to ship massive quantities of drugs to the local pharmacies without performing any checks or audits. A Chicago lawyer has filed a $10 million lawsuit against opposition counsel stemming from a case in which they were both involved. He alleges that the opposing attorney slapped him three times on his back, thus giving rise to “imminent physical violence.” Elizabeth Pope, of Kenosha, Wisconsin, was arrested March 11 for allegedly punching and assaulting Lake County Judge Elizabeth Rochford on a Metra train. The Judge came to the aid of

Ms. Pope’s young son, who was being screamed at by Ms. Pope calling him a “f*#%ing idiot.” An Illinois appellate court recently held that a sitting judge in Whiteside County who allegedly fell asleep during a murder trial did not give rise to reversible error and a new trial. It is also alleged that the clerk of the court had to poke the judge in order to wake him up. The judge denied having fallen asleep. On Feb. 15, a federal court convicted Cook County Circuit Court Judge Jessica Arong O’Brien of two counts of mortgage fraud. She is alleged to have inflated her income in order to obtain loans to purchase real estate in the city of Chicago. Her sentencing date is July 6. Speaking of Chicago, the Chicago Cubs baseball team was dismissed from a lawsuit brought against them by John Loos of Schaumburg, Illinois. Mr. Loos claims a foul ball struck him in the eye and caused him to become blind in that eye. The “baseball rule” provides that teams are generally not liable for accidents involving flying balls so long as there is some effort to protect spectators

such as the installation of netting or barriers. A LaGrange, Illinois criminal defense attorney who allegedly failed to appear in several court cases in DuPage County spent time in jail last month. Attorney Danielle Gallivan was charged with criminal contempt of court by Judge John Kinsella. The attorney was later released on a $10,000 recognizance bond. Finally, daycare owner January Neatherlin of Oregon was sentenced to 21 years in prison for drugging her children with melatonin and leaving them unattended at “Little Giggles Daycare” while she went tanning and worked out at a local CrossFit gym. (Another reason to avoid tanning beds and Crossfit!) This concludes our article on good, tired and terrible people. This story is meant as a general legal advice and information column.

Restoring Earth – one community at a time By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

Contributors

t this time of year, we cheerfully anticipate the season to come – spring with its riot of wildflowers – as opposed to crisp, colorful autumn which foretells the gloomy future as in Thomas Hood’s poem, November. Spring – with its lovely, delicate, pale flowers – is eagerly anticipated. But to experience it in its entirety, we must retreat to the woodlands whose filtered shade encourages the magical blooms. There is another sign of spring – puffs of gray smoke wafting skyward above distant plots of land. It’s one that those of us who recognize it anticipate with excitement. The smoke comes from controlled burns in reconstructed and remnant prairies tended by restorationists – people who want to maintain at least part

of the landscape that was once Illinois. Why do we burn? At first, it was because the native Americans did it – probably to keep the grass down, to chase bison for a hunt and as a bonus, to see enemies who might otherwise sneak up to steal. That seemed to be a good enough reason. Burning does keep the grass down each year. But more important, it inhibits woody growth which could overtake the prairie, leading to scrubby woodland and eventually, forest. It also is a convenient way to inhibit alien weeds which do not have the deep roots of prairie plants, a characteristic that helps the success of native grasses and forbs. As people had more experience with controlled burns, they realized that there were other benefits. In addition to inhibiting woody growth and setting back weeds, it exposed the soil to sunlight earlier in the season to warm it and

encourage earlier sprouting. Still other benefits existed. The aerial parts of plants burned quickly and disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving ash and nutrients that studies revealed enriched the soil, encouraging better growth. To some, burning seems wasteful. But burning removes only temporary parts of the plants, leaving the deep prairie roots which break the soil, hold it in their vast mats and enrich it as they die away. A prairie burn can be considered as similar to burning biofuels. The difference is that these plants are burned for ecological reasons and biofuels are burned to provide energy for people. The fuel, unlike fossil fuels which lay buried and transformed by millennia, grows in one season and disappears in a matter of seconds the next, leaving charred ground cool enough to walk on. We were among the first in this part of

the state to use burns to restore prairie, so were the subject of much curiosity. Since then, the movement has grown. Now, many individual landowners and caretakers are engaged in this rite of spring; the Byron Forest Preserve burns many acres, and nearby Nachusa Grasslands with over 3,000 acres, burns many parcels. Restoring prairies provides an opportunity for native animals to return. Nachusa has added bison as a natural means of maintaining the ecosystem and to attract visitors. While burning meets some goals of restorationists, not all of its effects are yet known. Until then, between March 15 and April 15, follow the smoke and watch history being re-created. R.

Taking a hike through the Rockford region

Rock Cut State Park

Bald Eagle at Atwood Park’s Birds of Prey area

By Tyler Yomantas

such an immense amount of time out there, yet each time is a different experience. Each season is totally different in the park. In the summer, the park is lively with people along the trails, while now at the very start of spring, not very many people are out so you can make the park your own experience. One of my days over Spring Break, I spent a good 5 hours at the park, hiking from one end of the park to the other, totalling an 11-mile hike. (Rock Cut State Park is located at 7223 West Lane Road in Loves Park.)

I came home to the Rockford region for Spring Break, and I didn’t have a lot planned besides seeing a few people and overall becoming a couch potato. Other than that, I was itching to get outside and hike. For anyone who knows the Midwest, March weather can be rather unpredictable...but that was not going to stop me. There have been a few parks in the area I have wanted to visit and, of course, re-visit. So throughout the week, I visited Rock Cut State Park, Atwood Park, and hiked from Espenscheid Memorial Forest Preserve to Kishwaukee River Forest Preserve. Overall hiking 32 miles during the week in the Rockford region.

Rock Cut State Park

I have gone to Rock Cut State Park more times than I can count. I have spent

Atwood Park

While the sights and sounds of Rock Cut are very familiar to me, I wanted to see some new nature here in Rockford. Believe it or not, I have never been to Atwood Park (it’s been on the list for quite a while). I finally made it out there! While I usually plan what I want to see

Kishwaukee River Forest Preserve and do at these parks, I just decided to go and see what was out there with no real plan. You can believe I was surprised when I saw the area where they kept the several birds - from Bald Eagles to Screeching Owls. After visiting the birds, I hiked to see the bunkers, and finally hiked across the park to see the prairies and marshes. This hike was a total of 10 miles. (Atwood Park is located at 2685 New Milford School Road in Rockford.)

Espenscheid to Kishwaukee

The last hike I took over my Spring Break was slightly different from the other two. I had no idea what to expect. I just planned on hiking from Espenscheid Memorial Forest Preserve to Kishwaukee River Forest Preserve. Sounds simple enough to follow the river, right? Wrong. This was the only time I’ve ever gotten lost without realizing it. For about a mile

or so, I discovered I was going back in the same direction I came from! When I finally realized that I walked by the same thing an hour prior, I looked on a map on my phone and discovered I had been walking in the wrong direction. Even though that happened, I still got to see an incredible scene of prairie lands, marshes and the overall Kishwaukee River front. This last hike lasted 11 miles. (Espenscheid Memorial Forest Preserve is located at 4800 South Perryville Road in Cherry Valley. Kishwaukee River Forest Preserve is located at 6303 Mulford Road and 5757 Blackhawk Road in Cherry Valley.) Overall, this proves you don’t need to go far to experience nature here in the Rockford region. Just grab some hiking shoes and the desire to explore something new or familiar and go for a hike!

Pink Beam: Where they’re from, where they’re going By Audrey Anna Ellison

Guest Contributor

he air was abuzz with anticipation at Mary’s Place as the set was being changed. “I’m so excited for Pink Beam,” was overhead in the crowd. Finally, after what seemed like an hour it was time. Lincoln Flowers’ and John Tallman’s guitars rang out over the head’s of the group that had gathered. As John started to sing the bass player Luke Brown’s voice soared through with the harmonies, the Jake Verbal’s drums kicked in and the sound of the band was at last complete. As always, the show that was put on was fantastic. So now let’s hear from our hometown boys in their own words because, like a song of theirs says, “This is Where (They’re) From.”

••• RRT: So, who is Vanessa and why DID she write you that letter? Flowers: Well that’s a John question. Tallman: Yeah, so, Vanessa was a girl I dated in middle school that didn’t really like me that much. So, she would break up with me and I’d try to stay with her but she wouldn’t get back with me. She’d kind of string me along. Brown: Dude, you talking about your diary? Tallman: No I mean basically what happened is it was just goofy middle school shit. Years later, I wrote a song about it and “Wrote Me A Letter” was a different song so I just added the ending of that to it. I just combined the songs and reformatted it to make a narrative. Basically, the whole idea is the character of Vanessa is a train wreck.

RRT: So where do you guys see yourself going as a band, what is next for Pink Beam? Flowers: We’re gonna make a record! RRT: A record is in the works, eh? Flowers: Yeah, we did some singles at Midwest Sound (recording studio) and we’re still writing more songs and working on demos for three new ones. But the plan essentially is to compile songs that we’ve released as singles into a studio album. RRT: How long have you guys together for? Tallman: Probably about five years, maybe more like four. But it’s surreal looking back at it RRT: So Luke, how does Pink Beam write songs? Brown: Well, John writes most of ‘em — or a lot of them and we work on

a backlog of what seems like a thousand little songs. We flesh it out anywhere from thirty seconds to a minute and then go from there until it’s a full song for the whole band. Flowers: Yeah, if a song is the steak then John is like the cow, Jake is the oven, Luke is the butcher, and I’m the guy who seasons the meat. RRT: So if the people reading this would like to come see Pink Beam, when and where will you guys be playing next? Brown: There’s a sweet South Korean band called Cables that we will play with on Friday, April 6 at Mary’s Place (602 N. Madison St.) along with another band called Law and Love. R.

Superstar Live’s superstar power By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

As soon as I heard NBC’s next live musical production would be Jesus Christ Superstar, I started pestering the publicist to keep me updated with the when, where, who, and how they planned to pull it off. I already knew the what and why. It’s a great musical. It was the first musical I memorized, mostly because my sister constantly played her copy of the original concept album (with the brown cover). It eventually became a Broadway musical and then a film. It’s been revived many times—there a production at the Lyric Opera in Chicago this spring—with good reason. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music and Tim Rice’s lyrics do a powerful job of humanizing the final week in the life of Jesus.

Unfortunately, it took some people a long time to see that. While some churches initially labeled the show blasphemous or heretical (usually without having listened to the album), today it’s not unusual to see selections from Jesus Christ Superstar performed in churches. Upon learning NBC’s production would air on Easter Sunday, I asked my editor at Emmy if she wanted a piece about it. We didn’t have much time to get it into the March issue, but we managed, and only three cast members had been announced at that time—John Legend (as Jesus), Sarah Bareilles (as Mary Magdalene) and Alice Cooper (as King Herod). Bareilles was winding down her run in the Broadway musical Waitress (which she wrote based on Adrienne Shelly’s 2007 film of the same name), but took

time to speak with me about her love of Jesus Christ Superstar and playing Mary Magdalene in a pared down, concert-like version of the show. “I’m game for anything, and am really excited to work with David Leveaux, our director,” Bareilles told me. “I think it makes sense to let the emphasis stay on the actual delivery of the performance, as opposed to try to conquer some huge blocking endeavor—but if they decided to do that, too, I’d be along for the ride.” When she was approached about Jesus Christ Superstar Live, Bareilles’ answer was an immediate yes, assuming the scheduling worked out. It did. “It’s a huge honor. I love this role and the show. I love how complicated her relationship is to Jesus, and to the community. I love that she is someone

who is complex and speaks to the misfits in the community but has a real purity about her as well.” Getting to sing one of the most famous songs from the show could make some performers nervous, but Bareilles is ready. “The song is so beautiful, and I loved the original performance [by Yvonne Elliman]. I’ve loved a lot of the versions I’ve heard of ‘I Don’t Know How to Love Him,’ but I think it’s about trying to find where my own natural approach will emerge and what makes it different than anyone else’s.” On Sunday night we’ll get to see the result.

Jesus Christ Superstar Live airs live 7 p.m. Sunday, April 1 on NBC.

Music

RSO season picks up additional shows By Guy Stephens WNIJ News

ROCKFORD — The Rockford Symphony Orchestra will bring back some favorites and expand the number of its performances next year, including a new summer series. Rockford Symphony Orchestra Music Director Steven Larsen said there’s something for everyone on every concert of the 2018-2019 season. “There’s a number of very familiar pieces and there’s also a number of pieces that nobody’s heard of before,” he said. “You couple that with a couple of familiar names coming back and a couple of brandnew ones, and I think you’ve got a really well-balanced mixture.” The classics season includes the world premiere of “Old War Poems,” a setting of Walt Whitman poems by American composer Michael Cunningham, and the return of acclaimed pianist Awadagin Pratt in a performance of Brahms’ Piano Concerto no. 2. It also includes selections from Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” and Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra. Both are considered difficult pieces to perform. But Larsen said the toughest work the musicians face next season may be on a pops concert. “Playing live for ‘Jurassic Park.’ John Williams does not write easy music,” he laughed. “And he wrote a lot of it for us, so that’s going to be a major challenge.” The pops series also includes a program of contemporary Broadway hits, holiday pops and a concert featuring circus artists performing onstage with the musicians.

RSO music director Steven Larsen.

The RSO is expanding its summer schedule, with a concert showcasing stars of the Starlight Theatre and a kid’s concert that does a modern take on “Peter and the Wolf”

joining its Independence Day Spectacular. And, after a hiatus the last couple of years, the RSO will once again be in the pit for the Rockford Dance Company’s

performances of The Nutcracker. For more i n for mat ion rockfordsymphony.com.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN

Horoscope

Week of March 25 to 31, 2018 ARIES

You’ll be placed on a pedestal, and this situation will change your life for the better down the road. You’ll feel valued and might even receive some applause.

TAURUS

You’ll likely decide that it’s time to move. If the kids have left the nest for a while already, it’s definitely high time to sell the old family home.

GEMINI

You’ll have no trouble saying what’s on your mind this week, and those who’ve been feeling the same way in silence will be grateful for it. Someone will tell you an unusual secret because of your reputation for sensitivity and discretion.

CANCER

You’ll explore a variety of interesting potential solutions to your financial difficulties. The coast will finally be clear for you to dive into a project that’s important to you — a home makeover, perhaps.

LEO

There will be no shortage of action this week. You may have to bring some people back to order. Even though you’re a peaceful person at heart, your inner warrior sometimes needs to be let loose.

VIRGO

You’ll feel the call of the esoteric this week. You’re already quite perceptive, but that ability will increase tenfold over the next few days. You’ll be able to get a better perspective on things and react to situations with greater empathy.

LIBRA

One of your friends will become an unexpected source of inspiration. He or she will help you become the person you’ve always wished to be and show you the way to happiness.

SCORPIO

You’ll have an unusually full schedule to juggle this week. Perhaps it would be a good idea to stop making any further appointments. You wouldn’t want to trigger a panic attack.

SAGITTARIUS

You’ll decide on a whim to completely reinvent your professional self. You may find yourself back in class as you envision your new life in your dream job.

CAPRICORN

The heart has reasons that reason cannot know. Even if you try to stay rational, your feelings will take over and show you the way. You’re excited to find out what’s next.

AQUARIUS

You’re going to need a double helping of tact to get through some tough situations, both at home and at work. Compromise is inevitable.

PISCES

Confusion or conflict at work will probably inspire you to make a big career change. Take the time to weigh the pros and the cons, and consult with your loved ones before making any decision.

ATTENTION BUILDERS, DEVELOPERS & INVESTORS THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

M MASSIVE CHICAGO AREA REAL ESTATE AUCTION MOTIVATED SELLERS LOOKING TO MAKE DEALS! UNIQUE LAND OPPORTUNITIES & COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TO BE SOLD SEPARATELY 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.

Adding Rhubarb to the garden By Grant McCarty Contributor

As we begin to warm up this spring, our area starts to see perennial vegetables thrive. These are plants that once established will come back year-afteryear. Rhubarb is one of these classic spring vegetables. Originally from China and Russia, rhubarb is composed of a large, woody, rhizome with fibrous roots. The edible portions are stalks that grow from the buds which contain both vitamin C and calcium. The stalks are usually tart and combined with other fruits to sweeten. The rhizome is the underground portion of the plant that will expand each season. The leaves are inedible due to oxalic acid. The plant is very cold hardy and the reason it doesn’t perform well in warmer climates in the US is due to the plant needing 500 hours of winter chilling temperatures of 28-49 F to form new leaf buds in the spring. Rhubarb can be planted right now with spacing 3 feet apart. You’ll plant these in the early spring in a row and space rows 4 feet apart. Because it is perennial, you want to place it in your garden in an area that will allow for the rhizome to

spread out. Like most perennial plants, you should not harvest in the first two years as the plant needs to spend those seasons growing the rhizome. In the third year and each year after, 8-10 weeks of harvest can be tolerated but you don’t want to remove more than 2/3 of the existing stalks. Your plant may send up a seed stalk. This usually happens later into the season as production begins to wane. Remove the seed stalk and this will allow for that energy to be sent back to the rhizome to further develop. After 5-8 years of production, you can dig up the plant and divide it up during the dormant period of the season. Both green and red leafstalks are available on the market. Recommended red varieties are ‘Cherry Red’, ‘Crimson Red’, and ‘Ruby’. ‘Victoria’ is a green variety. Difference among varieties is due to their color and taste. R.

Sox see better days approaching By Andrew Seligman AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO — For a franchise with five straight losing seasons and one playoff appearance since the 2005 World Series championship, the Chicago White Sox sure are an optimistic bunch. They come into the year with a long line of promising prospects to go with a strong belief that they are setting themselves up to make a big jump in the standings. “We’re going to shoot high and we’ll see where it falls,” manager Rick Renteria said. Only three teams had a worse record last season than the White Sox, who went 67-95 and finished fourth in the AL Central. But they believe the breakthrough is coming — maybe sooner than later. Chicago started loading up the pipeline at the 2016 winter meetings by trading former ace Chris Sale to Boston and outfielder Adam Eaton to Washington. Those deals brought in second baseman Yoan Moncada along with hard-throwing pitchers Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez and Michael Kopech and kicked the rebuilding process

into high gear. It continued during the season when the White Sox added two prized outfielders to the system. They signed Cuban Luis Robert in May and landed Eloy Jimenez in the trade that sent pitcher Jose Quintana to the Cubs. “I don’t really believe in ‘it’s too early to win,’” said James Shields, the opening day starter who was part of a Tampa Bay team that went from finishing last in the AL East in 2007 to winning the division and pennant in 2008. “These guys are very talented young men. If they put it together, something special is going to happen.” Here are some things to know, with the opener at Kansas City on Thursday:

Best case

The young players in the majors and minors progress ahead of schedule and accelerate the rebuild. It’s a tough division, but the White Sox aren’t the only team relying on a new-look roster.

Worst case

The young players in the majors and

minors experience setbacks, through injuries or poor play, and slow the rebuild.

Strengths

White Sox have at least two big bats in the lineup with Jose Abreu and Avisail Garcia, assuming he can build on a breakout season. Giolito and Lopez give them reason for optimism about the rotation. The same goes for Carson Fulmer even though he struggled in a big way this spring. Giolito, however, posted a 2.38 ERA in seven starts last season after being called up from Triple-A. Lopez showed some promise, despite a 4.72 ERA in eight outings. Moncada played well down the stretch, batting .276 with five homers over his final 24 games.

Bouncing back

Shortstop Tim Anderson struggled through much of his first full season in the majors after a close friend was shot to death assisting an assault victim in Alabama. He finished with a .257 average. He and the White Sox are hoping for more this year.

Left-hander Carlos Rodon is once again sidelined to start the season, this time recovering from surgery in September on his pitching shoulder. He was sidelined at the start a year ago because of shoulder and biceps issues. It’s not clear when he’ll be ready. And it remains to be seen if he can develop into the pitcher the White Sox envisioned when they drafted him with the No. 3 overall pick in 2014.

Familiar faces

For all the talk about Manny Machado coming to Chicago and Abreu or Garcia possibly getting traded, the White Sox return largely intact. One move they did make was signing catcher Welington Castillo. He figures to help the young pitchers and could add some pop to the lineup. Castillo hit .282 with 20 homers and 53 RBIs in 96 games with Baltimore last season while throwing out 24 of 49 wouldbe base stealers for a major league-leading 49 percent success rate.

Cubs look for fast start out of the gate By Jay Cohen

AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs remember what it was like in 2016, and they remember what happened last year. They remember all the fun they had two years ago, and how tired they were at the end of last season. The past two years could hold the key to how they perform in 2018. “These guys absolutely get it. They’re on a mission, no question,” manager Joe Maddon said. “They want to go back to what happened in 2016. They didn’t like what happened last year, but they kind of understand what did (happen) and how we worked through it and eventually almost got back to our goal.” One of the big differences between the World Series-winning 2016 team and last year’s group was the start of the season. The Cubs struggled at the beginning of last season and then pushed hard to overcome the Brewers and win the NL Central. After surviving a grueling playoff round against Washington, they were run over by the rested Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series. Chicago’s 25-6 start in 2016 set up the whole year. The Cubs had time to prepare for the playoffs and won their first title since 1908. Lesson learned.

“We want to start out this year a little different,” veteran infielder Ben Zobrist said. All the pieces are in place. The Cubs signed Yu Darvish to a $126 million, six-year contract in February, creating one of the majors’ best rotations. Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant anchor a talented lineup that also includes the electric Javier Baez, coming off a career-high 23 homers and 75 RBIs. Brandon Morrow replaces Wade Davis at closer after agreeing to a $21 million, two-year deal in December. “We reached the World Series in ‘16 and won it and one step to it last year and I think that it sat in everyone’s stomach and we weren’t satisfied,” slugger Kyle Schwarber said. “Even with the players that we’ve added, they know what’s expected here. Definitely a different demeanor rolling in. Everyone’s hungry. Everyone showed up ready to roll.” Here are a couple more things to watch this year with the Cubs, who begin the season Thursday in Miami for the opener of a 10-game trip:

For starters

The biggest beneficiaries of the Darvish deal might be Jose Quintana and Tyler Chatwood, who were pushed back to the last two spots in the rotation when the

Japanese right-hander joined the team. Quintana went 7-3 with a 3.74 ERA in 14 starts with the Cubs last year after he was acquired in a blockbuster deal with the crosstown White Sox in July. Chatwood, who signed a $38 million, three-year contract with Chicago over the winter, also could benefit from a change of scenery after he spent his last five seasons with Colorado. Chicago’s rotation is fronted by Jon Lester, who went 13-8 with a 4.33 ERA in 32 starts last year, and Kyle Hendricks, who missed part of last season with pain in the middle finger of his right hand, but had a 2.19 ERA in his final 13 starts after the All-Star break.

Nice life

One of Maddon’s biggest challenges will be finding time for everyone to play. Zobrist, who turns 37 in May and was hampered by a right wrist injury last season, likely will bounce around again after making at least 13 starts at three different positions last year. Ian Happ and Albert Almora Jr. likely will share time in center, and Baez could play all over the infield. “It’s a really talented group,” Maddon said.

Super Bryant

While Bryant dropped from 102 RBIs in

2016 to 73 last season, the third baseman improved on several of his numbers from his MVP season two years ago. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 amateur draft set career bests with a .295 batting average, .409 on-base percentage, 38 doubles and 95 walks. He also hit 29 homers. Bryant, who turned 26 in January, has been one of the majors’ most consistent performers since his debut with the Cubs in 2015. “The goal is to win the World Series,” he said. “That will always be the goal from here on out. We have a great group here ready to do it again.”

Best case

A slimmer Schwarber bounces back after struggling last season, the rotation stays healthy and the Cubs get their usual production from Bryant and Rizzo on the way to their second championship in three years.

Worst case

Morrow flops in the closer role, the deep lineup and rotation are decimated by injuries and the improved NL Central keeps Chicago out of the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
