No. 2 Senate Democrat Dick Durbin is recovering in Illinois after an outpatient procedure for an irregular heartbeat.

Durbin was recently diagnosed with atrial flutter, a common, non-life threatening condition in which the heart beats less efficiently but one in which symptoms are often not noticeable.

The Illinois Democrat had a procedure at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago in which a catheter was used to ablate tissue in his heart to try to disrupt the nerve impulses that cause the abnormal rhythm.

Durbin used his treatment to make the case for medical research, citing the procedure, which is increasingly common and considered relatively low risk.

He will remain in Illinois for the remainder of the week.

Billionaire businessman J.B. Pritzker is launching the first television ads of the Democratic primary for Illinois governor.

Pritzker’s campaign is releasing a 60-second ad statewide on Tuesday.

The introductory ad is aimed at helping voters get to know Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune who doesn’t have the name recognition of some of his rivals, especially outside of Chicago. It covers Pritzker’s role starting the Chicago tech incubator 1871 and his work in support of early childhood education.

Other candidates who’ve said they’re seeking the Democratic nomination in March 2018 include businessman Chris Kennedy, state Sen. Daniel Biss and Chicago Alderman Ameya Pawar.

A group affiliated with the Republican Governors Association has been running ads featuring GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner, who’s seeking a second term.

Appeal by man who pleaded guilty to murder continues

A man serving a decades-long prison sentence in the 2010 death of a Northern Illinois University student is continuing an appeal of his conviction.

Chief Judge Robbin Stuckert on Monday partially denied a motion by the state to dismiss the appeal of William Curl of conviction in the death of 18-year-old freshman Antinette “Toni” Keller of Plainfield. Her burned body was found in a park two days after she disappeared.

In May 2015, Curl filed a petition for post-conviction relief, saying he only agreed to plead guilty because his court-appointed attorney made mistakes. He also claims he entered the plea because then-DeKalb County State’s Attorney Richard Schmack threatened to prosecute the 40-year-old Curl’s 13-year-old son in connection with Keller’s murder.

Stuckert on Monday set a May 23 hearing during which a date for an evidentiary hearing may be determined.

The room rises for a standing ovation as Mayor Larry Morrissey makes his final remarks during Monday’s City Council meeting. Morrissey ended a 12-year run as mayor of Rockford.

‘We can make the commitment to one another that when we do our best work together, we can do things we can never do alone.’

Morrissey signs off after 12-year run

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

CITY HALL – It seems like forever ago that a young independent was sworn in as Mayor of Rockford after handily defeating the Democratic incumbent.

Actually it was. Twelve years ago to be exact. It’s been that long since Larry Morrissey succeeded Doug Scott, vowing to bring excellence to Rockford, starting with a downtown that housed some scattered holders on from the city’s glory days – but known for more for its blight, empty buildings and uncertainty.

Quickly given the moniker “Downtown Larry,” Morrissey pushed forward with

a number of initiatives, some of which seemed to fly directly in face of a comfortable status quo. He rallied several public and private partners to bring development to Rockford, lobbying the state for tax credits used on a host of projects on both sides of the Rock River.

“I will not spend time recanting the work of 12 years in last few moments I have left in his position,” Morrissey, 47, said Monday before stepping down as the 40th Mayor of Rockford. “To do so would not do justice to the extensive work we’ve done. It would take far too much time. Instead, my mission is short and simple – to say ‘thank you.’”

Morrissey’s decision not to run for a fourth term came as the Ziock Building remained undeveloped and the controversial New Towne public housing project was going through the ringer of protests, public hearings and threats of lawsuits.

Both eventually passed.

In 2015, Morrissey made national news when Rockford became the first American city to reach “functional zero,” for ending homelessness among local veterans. Under the mayor’s program, homeless veterans are provided housing or sheltered in longterm treatment facilities.

Last week, he successfully championed the long-awaited Whitman interchange overhaul launch that leaders say will expand the downtown footprint to other areas of Rockford and bring 21st-century transportation standards to about 2.7 million cars.

The former mayor also spearheaded the Rockford IceHogs/Chicago Blackhawks AHL affiliation agreements; redevelopment of the Morgan Street Bridge; UW Health Sports Factory; and the Rebuilding Rockford road referendum.

Those successes did not come without pushback, however. Critics have long hit out at Morrissey and his administration, saying that a lack of communication out of City Hall throw up roadblocks to progress for citizens seeking to engage in the civic process.

But Morrissey seemed a man content with his place in the history of his city Monday night, just hours before he was set to hop on a plane.

“I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the incredible privilege each Monday night to take this chair on behalf of our citizens to be in a position of leadership in my hometown (for) the best job that God has given me and the support to try and move our community forward.”

Morrissey also ran a losing campaign for mayor in 2001 against Scott and Republican Denny Johnson. He will now enter his third career phase later this month when the former lawyer becomes a vice president for government relations for Marathon Health, the company that operates the City of Rockford’s wellness center.

“It’ll be different,” he told The Times last week. “I think it’ll mean more time at home – more quality time at home. I’m looking forward to that.”

But Morrissey has said over the past weeks that just because he’s stepping away from public office doesn’t mean he’s stepping away from his role as an engaged citizen.

“With many challenges we face,” he said, “we can’t expect to be perfect. Certainly no one is. But, we can make the commitment to one another that when we do our best work together, we can do things we can never do alone.”

NEW FACES

It’s ‘all-in’ for new Rockford alderman

BY JIM HAGERTY CONTRIBUTOR

CITY HALL – While the Rockford City Council now comprises eight Democrats and six Republicans, leaders say an “allin” mentality is the key ingredient for a successful four years.

“It is time for Rockford to come together as a body,” Alderman Natavius Ervins, D-6, said. “I want to see Rockford flourish.

Ervins is among six new council members sworn in Monday night along with new Mayor Tom McNamara, who carried every precinct in the city with at least 50 percent of the vote in last month’s general election.

McNamara’s victory was no surprise down the stretch as a groundswell of Republicans who supported independent Rudy Valdez joined the McNamara camp.

In the final weeks ahead of the election, the question was not whether Tom would win, but by how much.

The race was called about an hour after the polls closed, marking what could be an end of party politics in Rockford.

“I would love to see Rockford nonpartisan,” outgoing Alderman Pam Connell said. “It would even the playing field and concentrate on the candidate, their platform and what they’ve done.”

Connell stepped down from her 6th Ward seat to run for mayor. She was defeated by Brian Leggero in February’s Republican primary.

Ervins defeated her husband, Craig Connell. Also new to the council in 2017 are Jonathan Logemann, D-2; Chad Tuneberg, R-3; Karen Ho�man, D-8; Bill Rose, D-9; and Tu�y Quinonez, D-11.

With a potentially massive budget hole looming in the next few years, they will have their work cut out for them as a collective unit that far outreaches party lines.

“People look to the city as a whole,” Tuneberg said. “If the council deviates from the issues – crime, property taxes, jobs and economic development – it would be a disservice to our constituents. Schools are also an issue the city indirectly has something to do with. We have to stay focused on what we were elected to do.”

Logemann agreed. While campaigning to unseat Jamie Getchius, the Auburn High School teacher was less concerned about winning one for his party and more focused on the needs of his ward. And so were voters, he said.

“Just talking with people, I didn’t hear, ‘What party do you belong to?’” Logemann said. “It was, ‘What ideas do you have and what actions will you (take) to improve neighborhoods?’ There’s no Republican or Democratic way to shovel a sidewalk.

We saw this with the Amerock deal. There was bipartisan support and bipartisan opposition, too. In city government, it’s about what makes sense.”

And what makes sense for Rockford’s Democratic-leaning labor sector are jobs – potentially hundreds of them on the Amerock project.

Dozens of supporters rallied the outgoing council to approve the latest hotel deal that could secure employment for union workers for the next two years. The hotel and conference center would also employ more than 100 people when it opens as early as 2019.

“We had an environment that wasn’t always friendly to unions here at City Hall,” Rose said. “Part of that goes back to the (Gov. Bruce) Rauner agenda. So, we have to make it clear that Rockford is a good, working-class community and we are not going to be divisive anymore.”

McNamara hit the ground running Tuesday morning by hiring Todd Cagnoni as his city administrator. Cagnoni has been serving in the role on an interim basis in the Morrissey administration since longtime administrator Jim Ryan departed for Rock Valley College.

“I could not think of a better person to name as city administrator than Todd,” the mayor said. “He exemplifies the qualities and character we want to see on the city team. He is honest, trustworthy, humble and hardworking and I look forward to serving with him.”

Cagnoni previously served Rockford as the director of community and economic development.

McNamara is expected to hire a chief of sta� in coming days while evaluating other positions to face the next four years.

“I think we have some great sta�, so I am looking forward to it,” the mayor said. “I’ve met on-on-one with new aldermen, and I am going to continue to build relationships with current aldermen who will continue to serve.”

McNamara is the city’s 41st mayor.

His father, John, was Mayor of Rockford from 1981-89, overlapping with 10th Ward Alderman Frank Beach’s first term on council.

“We’ve got a great town,” Beach said.

“We’ve had some bumps and bruises, but we have moved on. I’ve seen Rockford go from a manufacturing personality to where it changed over to aerospace, freight with the airport now grown up. Just in the last two years, I’ve seen change into a huge medical complex.”

And Beach says he’s encouraged by what’s coming next.

“The potential is there. It’s a wonderful direction to go. We need to hang on because there are some good things ahead of us.”

ROCKFORD – As new Mayor Tom McNamara and six new alderman begin their first week, economic hardships in Springfield continue to rear their heads locally.

Illinois was reminded Tuesday just how bleak its finances are as S&P Global rated the state a BBB, leaving some experts to speculate that the state could be downgraded to junk status if lawmakers fail to pass a budget. The news comes as the Senate and House trudge through their so-called “Grand Bargain” that could see Rockford part of a gambling expansion bill.

The S&P announcement follows a Fitch Ratings downgrade to BBB in February. The state has been operating without budget since July 1, 2015. The temporary $356 million spending passed last June expired Jan. 1. An $817 million stopgap budget is pending after being passed by the House last month.

The S&P and Fitch ratings reflect the state’s inability to reconcile the mess with its five municipal pension systems that now come with more than $130 billion in

unfunded debt.

One of the state’s options to stop pension bleeding is to revamp an option for employees who seek a 401(k)-style option, especially for those in the State University Retirement System.

Downgrades have also reached Illinois public universities, several of which are digging deeply into reserves.

Last month, S&P Global knocked the University of Illinois system down to an A grade. The agency warned that further dips would come without an end to the GOP/ Democratic stando�.

Southern Illinois University dropped to a BBB; Eastern Illinois and Northeastern Illinois are now at BB. The agency also socked Governors State and Western Illinois universities with BB- grades.

In April, Moody’s Investors Service placed seven universities, including Northern Illinois, on review in light of their collective debt of $2.2 billion.

Rock Valley College faculty is still reeling after 28 instructors were told in February they were being let to in attempts to balance the school’s budget after it lost nearly $7 million in funding. The layo�s were the

most since 2015, when 44 position were eliminated. Rock Valley is facing a $1.6 million deficit for the upcoming fiscal year. Current layo�s go into e�ect this coming fall.

The Illinois House approved the stopgap bill just before its April break. Although it is a bill Gov. Bruce Rauner is expected to veto, it would allot $559 million in MAP grants for colleges and universities, an amount which could get them through the summer.

The emergency plan would also provide more than $200 million for social services from two accounts that collect a portion of Illinois’ state income tax revenue. The accounts are reserved for social services and education.

“I am concerned with how many nonprofits in our community have been impacted and how this is negatively a�ecting those individuals with the greatest needs,” McNamara said. “I would also be concerned if the state changes the methods to which they return our own tax dollars to local municipalities.”

If lawmakers do not pass a budget by the end of the month, Illinois is set to become the nation’s first junk-rated state.

Profs walk U of I-Springfield picket lines SPRINGFIELD — Dozens of University of Illinois-Springfield protesters walked a picket line a day after their union announced a strike.

The University of Illinois Springfield United Faculty union represents nearly 170 tenured and tenure-track faculty members. They started their strike at 9 a.m. Tuesday, carrying signs that read “I’d rather be teaching,” ‘’Fair evaluation! Contract now!” and “Faculty labor = student learning.”

The strike comes during the final week of classes for the semester and the week before final exams. The union said in a message on its website that professors won’t be available to students during the strike.

University o�cials said on the school’s website that students should attend classes during a strike and wait 15 minutes before leaving if their professor isn’t present.

The union and university bargained on Monday. At issue are reappointment, tenure and promotions.

The union wanted some protections written into the contract, including establishing a committee of university administrators and faculty that would examine cases where professors feel they weren’t treated fairly in a case of

promotion or tenure. University o�cials said adding those protections in a contract would “open such decisions to grievance procedures involving outside judgments by an arbitrator who may have little or no knowledge of the university.”

It’s likely classes at the university will be wiped out all week because the union and administrators aren’t expected to meet again in a bargaining session until Friday.

“We don’t believe they’ve been bargain-

ing in good faith over the last 20 months,” Kristi Barnwell, a UIS associate history professor and vice president of the union, said Tuesday morning. “... On Friday, we were hoping the university would finally take us seriously. ... We are ready to bargain whenever they want us there.”

This is the university’s final week of classes, and final exams are next week.

Commencement is scheduled for May 13.

Legislators want railroad to stop gun thefts

By Michael Tarm Associated Press

CHICAGO — Chicago legislators representing high-crime neighborhoods near a Norfolk Southern rail yard where 150 guns were stolen in three major thefts over a three-year span are proposing new laws to try and ensure railroads properly secure facilities to prevent such thefts.

Their proposal, which is before the public safety committee and which will later go to the full City Council, cites “the vice grip of gun violence” that led to a 19-year high 762 homicides in 2016. It contends that city “train yards have emerged as a ready source of firearms.”

The three thefts from 2014 to 2016 all occurred at Norfolk Southern’s 69th Street Yard, situated in South Side neighborhoods hard hit by gang-related shootings. The legislative initiative is a rare instance of local politicians seeking to pressure a multibillion-dollar corporation over the thefts.

Chicago Alderman Pat Dowell, one of the ordinance co-sponsors, told The Associated Press that the potential deadly consequence of such thefts meant railways must be especially diligent about fortifying yards. She said: “They need to be as secure as the Pentagon.”

The measures, proposed toward the end of April, mandate that fences around the perimeter of rail yards be well-maintained.

They would also impose fines if railroads don’t promptly alert police about gun thefts.

Key sections of fence at the Norfolk Southern yard have been in disrepair and posed little deterrent, while there are no barriers in parts of the yard where trains stand idle overnight.

In an emailed statement Tuesday, spokeswoman Susan Terpay said Norfolk Sout her n has “en ha nced se cur it y measures at our rail yards in Chicago.”

She didn’t provide details. She also said the company “reports any cargo theft to the Chicago police as soon as the theft is confirmed.”

In an April 2015, street-gang thieves slipped easily into the Norfolk Southern yard and made off with over 100 brand new guns that had been en route from New Hampshire’s Sturm, Ruger & Co. weapons maker to the Gunarama Wholesale store in Spokane, Washington.

Based on court filings, the AP reported in March that many of the .45-caliber revolvers, pistol-grip long rifles and other stolen Rugers ended up in the hands of Chicago-area gang and drug dealers. Most of the weapons were never recovered.

Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, later in March sent a letter to Norfolk Southern, saying the rail-yard gun thefts “jeopardize the safety and well-being of Chicago residents.”

Budget deal calls for releasing Asian carp prevention report Congress is pushing the Trump administration to release a study of how a Chicagoarea waterway structure might be fortified to prevent Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes.

A provision saying Congress “expects” the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to release the draft report was included in a budget agreement announced Monday.

The report involves possible upgrades of the Brandon Road Lock and Dam near Joliet, Illinois, a choke point between the carp-infested Illinois River and Lake Michigan.

Authorities want to prevent the invasive carp from reaching the Great Lakes and competing with native fish.

The Army Corps was scheduled to release its draft report earlier this year has delayed it.

Some lawmakers from Illinois and Indiana have warned against doing anything that would hamper commercial shipping in the area.

2 counties declare flood disasters

Flood warnings remain for large sections of central and southern Illinois after weekend storms brought as many as 10 inches of rain.

The Southern Illinoisan reports Jackson County Board Chairman John Rendleman signed a disaster proclamation Tuesday.

That’s after Franklin County Board Chairman Randall Crocker in Benton declared a state of disaster on Monday.

Many local officials are worried about river levels and road closings.

Union County Emergency Management coordinator Dana Pearson says officials are worried about more rain upstream of them along the Mississippi River.

Meanwhile officials at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale say a four-story housing unit on campus saw up to 12 inches of flooding on its first floor over the weekend. About 180 students had to be relocated for the last two weeks of the semester.

Contract with the Community

9. Increase community health.

By John Guevara Contributor

with Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

In February, we introduced our “Contract with the Community,” a 10 item list of simple reforms and ideas intended to bring about a more open, honest and transparent government. Over the coming weeks, we will explore in-depth each of those 10 items. This week, we look at No. 9, “Increase community health.”

It is our hope that at the conclusion of this process, your leaders in local and state government will commit to signing this contract with their constituents and strive to uphold its values.

Below is our complete proposed Contract with the Community, but we would love your input.

Email us at contact@rockrivertimes.com with your ideas for how we can better improve this document and, we hope, better improve our government.

1. Transform government processes. There is too much opportunity for public officials to acquire power and use it to allocate privilege. Transforming the process exposes the back rooms to the light of day. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Open government is the right of the people.

2. Transparent budgeting. Budget processes should be well documented and easily accessible. Budget discussions should be comprehensive. Everything should be published openly, well in advance of any vote, for the public to digest.

3. Reasonable tax burden. Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society. Make sure the burden is not beyond what people can bear.

4. Maximize efficiency. Government should always err on the side of saving tax dollars by improving performance, increasing labor output and automating processes to save labor costs. A better system delivers better service for taxpayers.

5. Grow the local economy. Any initiative to spur economic growth should be well researched, planned, and openly discussed with information readily available to the public throughout the entire process. The public should know of any risks to raise taxes.

6. Safer streets. Understand the needs of the police force and the needs of the community. Tax dollars are not the only answer. Law enforcement must continue to partner with the community (churches, religious institutions, etc; neighborhood associations; community centers; etc.) to identify and mitigate risk factors.

7. End culture of corruption. People trust a government that is open and honest. Pass resolutions opposing nepotism and cronyism. Define positions in local ordinance or state statute and publish the qualifications. Ensure politicians are abiding by all campaign laws and regulations. Publish labor contracts upon approval and make them easily available to the public.

8. Improve student outcomes. Improve graduation rates.

Improve the quality of the graduate. Identify areas where respective public bodies can partner with other public bodies and with the community to improve outcomes.

9. Increase community health. Improved health means better quality lives, with less tax costs and more tax revenues. Identify the areas where the respective public body can partner with other public bodies and with the community to improve outcomes.

10. Adopt best practices when available and blaze new trails where no best practices are found. Sometimes other governments get it right. Mirror what they do well. When there isn’t a model to follow, make your own.

H

ealth care is on our minds.

With an administration committed to changing how health insurance and health care is provided in America, people are concerned.

And they should be concerned because we know that better health means higher overall income, better academic performance, lower government cost for health care and incarceration. It makes sense to focus on our health at all levels of government.

Winnebago County and the Rockford area are seeing a boom in health care services. Our three primary local health systems are spending millions of dollars to expand and offer more services. It is important, while they expand, that the needs for our community are met.

The American Hospital Association says in a 2016 report on the “Next Generation of Community Health” that local health care facilities must learn to align their goals and programs with those of their community.

“In short, through focusing on community health, the hospital field is devising new ways to improve the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of people and communities. The next generation of community health will be integrally aligned with this care evolution and will serve as the foundation for total population health.”

The AHA calls on local health care providers to focus on three key elements: 1. Spectrum of services offered by the hospital or health care system; 2. Locations where care will be provided; and 3. Partnerships through which that care is facilitated.

The Winnebago County Health Department has taken the lead in identifying what the county’s health status is and what can be done about it. In a 229 page study published in 2016 called IPLAN 2020, the Health Department states that Winnebago County is ranked 88th of the 102 counties in Illinois.

A county’s “health” is measured by an index of factors including Length of Life, Quality of Life, and Health Factors (including Behaviors, Clinical Care, Social and Economic Factors, and Physical Environment).

That’s not all. IPLAN references a partnership between the Robert Wood Foundation and the University of Wisconsin to establish metrics for measuring the health of counties all across America. Winnebago County is the only county in the region to rank in the bottom third.

As dire as our respective health straits are, the goals the Health Department has are optimistic. The plan is for the Winnebago County to rank in the top third of Illinois counties by 2020.

There are three priorities that IPLAN identifies as crucial to the effort: 1. Maternal and Child Health; 2.

Mental/Behavioral Health; and 3. Violence Prevention.

The plan identifies specific community partners and an action plan for each. Public officials should familiarize themselves with the IPLAN to understand their respective roles in attaining the goals set in the plan, and how meeting the goals for each priority will benefit taxpayers.

In 2013 the Public Safety Committee of the Winnebago County Board worked with Chief Judge Joe McGraw to

find funding through the Affordable Care Act to sign up persons booked in the county jail for Medicaid. The reason was because there are a significant number of people booked in the jail who suffer from mental health disease and/or drug addiction.

Data presented to the committee demonstrated that providing treatment for mental health and drug addiction would save taxpayers at the local level from providing those services in the jail. Unfortunately, area providers were unwilling or unable to meet the demand for their services. Prioritizing mental health and drug addiction treatment, will reduce jail and court costs both in the short and long term.

State Rep. Litesa Wallace last year advocated for more community input in the decisions of independent health care providers after MercyRockford announced plans to phase out emergency services at its west side campus.

Rockford Memorial, the city’s only hospital west of the river, will shed much of its capacity to Mercy’s new hospital currently being built on East Riverside Drive, the company announced last year. Wallace said that such decisions should not be made without community input.

“Under current state law, a hospital can choose to close its doors with little review and scrutiny from those that would be affected,” Wallace said. “While hospitals in my district and across the state are private entities, they play an instrumental public role. In the event of a proposed closing, residents deserve to have their voices heard.”

As new board members, mayors, and council members examine their budgets, they should ask for detailed financial breakdowns of the costs for these services, and the benefits to their budgets. As outgoing Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey found out, local governments are very much in the health care business, whether they recognize it or not. As community consider and vote to approve expansion plans, area leaders should know what the community needs are and demand that those needs be prioritized moving forward.

And we should celebrate the health victories we are having. The Rockford Park District is an award winning unit of government that offers numerous activities for district kids, programs with an emphasis on health and many at little to no cost for economically disadvantaged residents.

Youth Against Violence is a program that teaches drama, marching band, and dance at the Mendelssohn Club in Rockford, offering area students an alternative to the ersatz family associations of the streets for involvement in very physical dramatic and musical arts.

Winnebago County Board member Burt Gerl, a strong advocate for the program, says, “I’m a firm believer in the fact that discipline and structure are key factors to a strong and healthy lifestyle. And beginning early in life is important, and Youth Against Violence teaches kids as young as five these important values.”

Patriots Gateway, Winnebago County Forest Preserves, and area school districts are all partners in helping provide healthy lifestyle education for our children. Public officials should engage and understand the options to know what works and what doesn’t in delivering healthy outcomes for our community.

Better health means better happier lives. It is in our personal interest and the public interest to achieve both.

Next week we introduce the final part of our Contract with the Community before taking it to officials as we seek their commitment to this simple set of measures to improve our government. Do you have ideas on how we could improve our document?

Commentary

A meeting that shouldn’t have been news

By Rich Miller

I

Capitol Fax

n normal times, a 40-minute, late-April meeting to talk about the budget between a governor and the House speaker would be so routine that it would likely go unnoticed by pretty much everyone under the Statehouse dome.

But these ain’t normal times.

A funded, full-year state budget has not passed during a spring legislative session since 2013, almost exactly four years ago. We’ve had partial-year or “stopgap” budgets ever since.

And House Speaker Michael Madigan hasn’t formally met with the governor since Dec. 6 of last year, about five months ago. Gov. Bruce Rauner announced at the time there would be no more such meetings until the Democrats were prepared to offer up a balanced budget with specific reforms — something that the governor hasn’t done since, either.

So, it was definitely news when

Speaker Madigan requested a private, one-on-one sit-down with Gov. Rauner last week and then the two actually met.

Speaker Madigan issued a statement saying that he had urged the governor “to turn his focus to the budget.” Gov. Rauner’s office then claimed that Madigan “hinted that he may be willing to enact a truly balanced budget with changes that will help create jobs, properly fund our schools and lower property taxes.”

Did they really make progress?

Well, we all know that the governor is prone to exaggeration. He said repeatedly during the two-week spring break that the grand bargain negotiations were close to being wrapped up.

He even claimed at one whistle stop that negotiations were going on between the two caucuses as he spoke, with another scheduled for the following day.

None of that was true.

The House speaker has his own issues.

He doesn’t say much except to repeat what he’s been saying over and over for two years: The governor should focus on passing a budget. Madigan himself, meanwhile, has been completely focused on denying the governor any wins on Rauner’s terms. All wins must instead be on Madigan’s terms.

Madigan’s spokesman reacted to the governor’s statement by pointing to a bill the House passed last week to make

workers’ compensation insurance “more affordable.”

That bill (HB 2622), however, sets up a state-run workers’ comp insurance company to compete with existing private insurers. Trial lawyers and unions insist that the hundreds of workers’ comp insurers in Illinois are colluding to keep prices high. Hey, maybe such a thing could work.

But creating a government insurance company is not exactly the sort of reform that our Milton Friedman-worshipping governor will ever accept as a “win.”

Even so, I choose, for the millionth time, to look at the bright side. At least they met. At least there was apparently a mention (no matter how brief) of non-budgetary reforms. At least they didn’t full-on whack each other after their meeting ended.

You gotta crawl before you can walk, so I’ll take it, no matter how pathetically tiny or how temporary that microscopic bit of progress may have been.

It’s been Madigan’s habit over the years to send the Senate a budget and then announce that the House has completed its work. He did it again last year and was ultimately stymied when the Senate refused to pass it.

But Madigan likely can’t even pass another budget bill out of his own chamber this year, mainly because a group of

10 or so independent Democratic women in his caucus are sick and tired of these impasse games. They have enough votes to block him if they stick together.

And if the Senate ever does send Madigan its grand bargain, those 10 House members and several more will demand that he take some action. This impasse is killing them back in their districts, along with the blame that the governor has so successfully pinned on Madigan with tens of millions of dollars.

A deal would take an enormous amount of heat off Madigan’s members, and, by extension, him.

Rauner, for his part, is dangerously close to being permanently labeled as a failed governor. Everything he’s tried has failed. Sure, he can point to minor administrative successes, but he wasn’t elected to save a few bucks on data processing.

And constantly awarding himself an “A” grade by pointing to these little administrative successes comes close to making him look dangerously separated from the reality that his state is rapidly going down the drain.

Both men have good reasons to find a way out of this mess. But they’re also the most stubborn men on the planet. Let’s hope they keep talking.

Springfield disconnect can be fixed by laying off lawmakers

R

adio Shack. HHGregg. Gander Mountain. Gordmans. Payless Shoesource. Aeropostale.

All these retailers are in bankruptcy, with some closing completely.

Now news that the granddaddy of retailers is about to fail. Sears created shopping at home with delivery to your home 131 years ago, with brick and mortar stores a relatively recent addition in 1925. Online retailers took their model and are burying them.

Sears is based in the Chicago suburbs.

They once were housed in Chicago’s tallest building. You’d think our state leaders would be familiar with them and their woes.

Instead, state leaders demonstrate again just how disconnected they are from reality. They decide now is the time to push for a $15 minimum wage, up from $8.25 at present.

Never mind that our minimum wage is already higher than every state we border, or that we lost 114,144 residents last year — including 1,000 here in St. Clair County. If we really want to do some serious damage to the service economy, push all those brick and mortar stores off the edge of the cliff by significantly increasing their labor costs.

At least Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner seems to get it: “That’s not gonna happen. Companies will just leave.”

For more evidence of how the Springfield bubble acts like the Cone of Silence, turn to the recent report on just how rarely state lawmakers pay attention to cost.

Of 938 bills passed by lawmakers during 2015 and 2016, only 27 had fiscal notes telling lawmakers the financial burden created by their new laws, according to an analysis by the Illinois Policy Institute.

“They’re passing bills left and right without a clue as to how much they will cost - or considering whether Illinois even has enough money to pay for them,” said Kristina Rasmussen, president of the Institute. “No private citizen, family or business can afford to act this way. It’s

unacceptable that our elected officials are allowed to get away with this.”

Sears would be just fine if only shoppers acted like state lawmakers and ignored the price tags.

So how do you burst the bubble and get those who spend your money to pay closer attention to the real world?

Term limits: Get behind an effort to turn career politicians into citizen public servants. Dethrone His Majesty Mike Madigan, because no one should be in control for 34 years.

Or, we can continue waiting for Springfield to fix itself. Waiting... still waiting... still out here waiting...

Jail death shines spotlight on divisive sheriff

By Ivan Moreno Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — A lengthy inquest into the dehydration death of a Milwaukee inmate has raised troubling questions about how Sheriff David Clarke manages the county jail, just as the White House is said to be considering the tough-talking lawman for a job.

Seven jail staffers could face criminal charges after the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office outlined a case for a jury that suggested disobedient inmates were routinely deprived of water as punishment and pleas for help were ignored.

Clarke wasn’t among the seven staffers, including two supervisors, who the jury recommended should be charged because prosecutors say he wasn’t directly involved in the events that led to the death last year of 38-year-old Terrill Thomas, who was deprived of water for seven days. But the death happened under the leadership of the brash cowboy hat-wearing sheriff, which his critics say is sufficient cause for his removal from office.

“I think there is a counterproductive and negative culture that has been established at that jail,” said Supreme Moore Omokunde, a Milwaukee county supervisor who called on Clarke to resign in December.

“The creation of that culture starts at the top with Sheriff Clarke.”

Wisconsin’s Republican governor, Scott Walker, issued a less than wholehearted defense of Clarke last week, saying that although he could remove him from office, he’d leave it to voters to decide.

A spokesman said Clarke wouldn’t

comment for this story. The sheriff has said little about Thomas’ death, other than to highlight what landed him in jail: Allegedly shooting a man in front of his parents’ house and later firing a gun inside a casino.

Clarke said in a statement posted to the sheriff’s office Facebook page Monday that he respects the legal process but would say nothing else. “There will be no speculation of what will happen until it happens,” he said.

A lthough the jur y recommended charges, it will be up to prosecutors to decide who gets charged and for what.

The unwanted attention comes as Clarke is reported to be in line for a position with the Department of Homeland Security.

Politico, relying on unnamed sources who it said were familiar with President Donald Trump’s administration’s planning, reported Friday that Clarke was up for the job of assistant secretary in the Office

“Inviting Nature Home”

of Partnership and Engagement, which coordinates outreach to state, local and tribal law enforcement.

The White House and DHS would not confirm or comment on the report.

Clarke has made himself a darling of the political right through his provocative social media presence, his staunch support for Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and his support for patrolling of Muslim neighborhoods.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Milwaukee-based immigrant-advocacy group Voces de la Frontera both were quick to decry Clarke’s rumored appointment to a federal leadership post, describing him as a divisive figure.

But despite the investigation into his jail, Clarke remains popular with many conservatives, including some who have been trying to get him to run for U.S. Senate next year against Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin.

Bob Dohlan, a longtime Clarke supporter who publishes a conservative newsletter in Milwaukee, said jail staffers should be

SILENT AUCTION!

charged for Thomas’ death if they neglected him, but that Clarke shouldn’t be blamed for their actions.

“You can’t watch them every minute of every night and day,” he said.

Thomas’ death was one of four at Clarke’s jail in 2016, but the only one in which prosecutors are considering charges.

In 2014, about 80 percent of local jails nationwide reported no deaths, according to Bureau of Justice Statistics report. Jails that reported at least one death that year had an average of 363 inmates, according to the report, while jails with two or more deaths had an average of 1,683 inmates.

The Milwaukee County Jail holds an average of 950 inmates daily.

Prosecutors made a case for criminal charges in Thomas’ death with testimony from jail staffers and their supervisors who said no one documented that his water was turned off. The supervisors acknowledged that turning off an inmate’s water violates department policy, but jail logs showed they continued ordering water deprivation as discipline even after Thomas’ death.

Several inmates testified that they repeatedly told guards that Thomas needed water.

“To deny a person water for seven days, by any definition is torture,” said Martin Horn, the former commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction and the city’s jail system.

Horn, who now teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, said Clarke should bear some of the responsibility for Thomas’ death even if he wasn’t directly involved.

“You know the saying the bucks stop here? At the end of the day, the head an organization is responsible for what happens in the organization,” he said.

Food a powerful way to bring people together

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

L

Contributors

ast week, we heard the story of how ordinary people can accomplish outstanding things.

Will Allen, former NBA basketball player, was the featured speaker at the annual Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful Earth Day Awards Luncheon. Each year, KNIB brings an inspirational message to northern Illinois.

Past speakers have been writers, actors and others in similar positions. But none presented as optimistic an option for those who want to accomplish something truly worthwhile.

Allen, the son of a sharecropper who will “never go back to that farm,” founded Growing Power, an effort raising food that feeds 10,000 people.

When he was on a sales call in Milwaukee, he noticed deteriorated greenhouses and a farm stand that could be used to distribute the produce he and other suburban farmers and gardeners raised. He also recognized that the city had thousands of vacant acres and that many people near those acres lived in a “food desert” with their only choice fast

food and quick marts. He purchased the buildings, and his movement began.

“It all starts with compost,” Allen says, producing rich soil from some of the 70 percent of food that is wasted, cardboard boxes, coffee grounds from restaurants and a big source in Milwaukee, brewing wastes. Rural sources are also tapped, as farmers donate old, unusable hay.

Vermicomposting can process 400 yards in a single hoop house. 7,000 worms are the project’s livestock. These valuable creatures which reproduce at amazing rates and can live 20 years are screened to populate new compost bins. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin monitor the process.

A wide variety of vegetables are grown in Allen’s numerous hoop houses distributed throughout the city. Crops mature quickly and can be quickly replaced. Kale is now the most popular food. Micro greens and mushrooms, used as garnishes in restaurants, are the newest. Micro greens are also the quickest, growing to harvest within a week.

In addition to vegetables, fish are produced. After starting with tilapia, lake perch (what people really want) are now being grown. Female perch, producing up to 40,000 eggs, are milked by hand; the eggs are mixed with sperm, producing young in 12 days. A 100,000 gallon tank can accommodate 500,000 fish. Limited numbers fish can be grown in outdoor

conditions; indoors they are fed every day so grow continually.

Using compost to heat the building, fish and plants can grow all year.

In addition to natural sources of energy, renewable energy sources – heat from compost and solar PV – are used in the project.

Growing Power brings together people from urban and rural areas, north and south, old and young. Students and adults work together. Many students from the inner city had poor reading and writing skills which the interesting, real life project helped improve. Growing Power also works with the juvenile justice system, rehabilitating young offenders.

“There is something spiritual about touching the soil.”

Allen claims that this agriculture of the future provides recession-proof employment, providing access to healthy food to everyone who wants it. It also teaches the next generation of farmers to replace some of the 80,000 farmers the U.S. will lose in a year.

With ever-increasing land prices (an acre in Orange County, California, brings $250,000), old buildings can provide artificial farms. Vertical space is utilized to maximize growing potential.

The project has now spread beyond its origins to other cities.

Although on a far smaller sale, similar

projects have been implemented in this area. Recognizing the potentially positive role of a project Auburn teacher Tim Bratina, after teaching a school year’s first semester social studies from the book, offered his students the alternative of planning and implementing a project.

The students chose a project that potentially solves social problems - people not getting enough food, not producing it themselves but relying on others for it, eating an unbalanced diet with too many calories and too little nutrition. Each semester, their aquaponics project has grown, first raising tomatoes and greens, later fish. We witnessed pride of accomplishment as the students explained what they had done and why.

Oregon High School Ag teacher Josh Nelson is helping his students experiment with alternative methods of raising food in an off-grid solar greenhouse donated to the school by the Illinois Renewable Energy Association.

We know teens who feel helpless growing up in an unjust world. Raising their own and helping neighbors grow healthy, delicious food can be a rewarding way to help them regain a sense of justice and control over their own destiny.

Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl are the President and Vice President of the Illinois Renewable Energy Association.

Bills, suit target quarries taking demolition waste

By John O’Connor AP Political Writer

SPRINGFIELD — Lawmakers and environmentalists from parts of Illinois that rely on groundwater want tougher monitoring of porous rock quarries that are being “reclaimed” by filling them with construction waste, saying they want to regulate them to make sure drinking water doesn’t become contaminated with toxins.

On the other side are road builders, engineers and others in the construction business, who argue that Illinois has sufficient quarry regulations and additional testing would be too expensive.

The proposed rules appear stymied this spring. But Attorney General Lisa Madigan is in court, trying to force previously dismissed groundwater monitoring on the quarries. She argued in a state appellate court brief that testing underground aquifers is necessary to protect drinking water “from the ongoing threat posed by the placement of unchecked materials ... directly into the water table.”

Pro-monitoring forces use Flint, Michigan, as a worst-case scenario, where river water was not treated to reduce

corrosion for 18 months, leading lead to leach from old pipes and fixtures.

“That’s the danger,” said Rep. Margo McDermed, a Republican from limestone-rich Will County who is sponsoring legislation requiring groundwater monitoring around quarry receptacles. “That’s the concern of everyone who uses water nearby quarries: that we could be in a situation like that.”

Eighteen organizations — which have made $6 million in political contributions in the past decade — have lined up against the measure. More than once, the Pollution Control Board has rejected groundwater monitoring, the decision Madigan is contesting.

Legislation similar to McDermed’s, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Emily McAsey of Lockport, was shunted into a subcommittee for review last week, substantially weakening its chances for passage before the Legislature adjourns May 31. The Sierra Club and other key environmental groups support the plan.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency calls it “clean construction-demolition debris.” The idea is that concrete

free of steel reinforcement bars, rock, stone, brick and asphalt from sites where buildings are going up or being razed is “clean” and can be dumped in spent rock quarries. Requirements that professionals examine the waste have been put in place in the past decade, but decades of unregulated dumping occurred before that.

McAsey’s and McDermed’s home, Will County, has nine quarries with EPA permits to handle demolition waste, with up to nine more that could be soon, said Brent Hassert, a former Republican lawmaker who lobbies for the county.

The Illinois EPA lists 34 EPA-permitted construction-debris quarries, but when The Associated Press asked the agency for the sites handling the most demolition waste, spokeswoman Kim Biggs said the top three are in Lyons, in Cook County; and two Kane County sites, in South Elgin and Bartlett. None is on the agency’s list. Biggs then said the list is incomplete and would be removed until it’s corrected.

Illinois has the most stringent rules for quarry reclamation in the nation, according to Dan Eichholz, president of the Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers. The

waste material must come from a site where previous land use has been determined and verified that it’s not part of a toxic-cleanup project. A professional engineer or geologist must test the soil at the site and determine that contaminants do not exceed allowed levels. At the quarry, a detector is used to check for suspicious odors.

The professionals used in the screening process are hired by the landowner or hauler, Eichholz said, but “repercussions are severe” if they don’t comply. And the receiving site can reject any dump truck arriving with waste.

“Any load that’s suspicious has to be rejected,” Eichholz said. “These folks, it’s their property. They have plenty of motivation to make sure no contaminated material comes in.”

Environment Committee Chairman Dan Beiser, an Alton Democrat, said he sent McAsey’s bill to subcommittee to await Madigan’s legal action. Beiser has his own legislation — which was approved by the House and is awaiting Senate action — that would release from permitting requirements a quarry-waste operator who transfers part of a quarry-disposal site to someone else.

Championship golf courses part of Rockford backdrop

OCKFORD – It is sometimes difficult to miss the sprawling beauty of a well-maintained golf course, even for those who have never played a round or picked up club.

Even a mediocre-course can offer a picturesque blend of sport and nature.

Locally, the five courses owned by the Rockford Park District are anything but mediocre. With summer ahead, staff at the city’s award-winning courses are preparing for another successful season for players of all skill levels.

Aldeen Golf Club, 1902 Reid Farm Road, Rockford A premium course, Aldeen Golf Club includes a state-of-the-art practice center, driving range and a country club atmosphere. The course measures 7,131 yards with more than 60 bunkers.

Keith Creek winds through the entire track, placing water on 12 of 18 holes.

The course was named Best Municipal Course in Illinois by Golf Digest in 2009.

Aldeen was also named among the Top

50 courses in the country under $50 by GOLF Digest.

Elliot Golf Course, 888 S. Lyford Road, Cherry Valley

Elliot is an 18-hole track, known for a wide-open landscape that offers straightforward strategy. That makes it ideal for novice players. The course spans 6,732 yards and offers three tee boxes per hole. Greens are spacious. Elliot was

Ingersoll Golf Course, 101 Daisyfield Road, Rockford

Ingersoll Golf Course is nestled in a grove of tight trees on Rockford’s far west side. It also features a top-notch practice facility, the Ingersoll Learning Links, made possible in part by the Tiger Woods Foundation. The 18-hole course is a short 6,107 yards and offers rolling tree lines and slick greens.

Sandy Hollow Golf Course, 2670 Sandy Hollow Road, Rockford Like Elliot, Sandy Hollow is known for its open fairways big greens. Built in 1930, the 18-hole course has a par of 71 is a 6,228 outlay. An official course

of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary program, Sandy Hollow is also a nature and wildlife sanctuary.

RACVB touts trio of tourneys this weekend

The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau celebrates three largescale sports tournaments that will take place in the Rockford region this weekend.

The AAU Midwest Regional Gymnastics Championships kicks off Frday at downtown’s UW Health Sports Factory, followed by the LAX ROX Invitational Lacrosse Tournament at Sportscore One, and the 2017 Illinois Bowling Associated State Tournament at Don Carter Lanes.

“We decided to host the LAX ROX Tournament to give our kids a chance to play multiple home games in front of their families and friends and to help promote sports events happening in the Rockford area,” said Jim Corbett, Rockford Razorbacks LAX tournament director. “This is a great opportunity for kids who are not involved to come check it out and for fans to enjoy a great day of competitive lacrosse at a fantastic facility.”

John Sommer, Don Carter Lanes owner and president, said they’re happy to see the return of the state competition to Rockford.

“We haven’t had the opportunity to host the State Bowling tournament in

many years and are happy to have the chance to host them once again this year.

It’s great that our local bowling facilities are contributing to the positive changes happening in this community.”

“It’s been a very dynamic year hosting a variety of sports tournaments in the Rockford region. The great connections we’ve made and the excellent partnerships built are what fuel us to keep pushing the limits in the sports tourism market,” said Nick Povalitis, RACVB sports destination & sales manager.

“This weekend will continue to showcase all that our region has to offer to make each tournament a success from beginning to end.”

RACVB estimates visitors to the events will spend more than $300,000 in the area. For more information, visit gorockford.com.

eenager Daniel Salazar is enjoying chronicling the past and present of his hometown. In our latest Rockford Rocked Interview installment, Todd Houston talks with Salazar about his view of his city and his hopes for its future.

Rockford Rocked Interviews: Hi, Daniel! Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Daniel Salazar: I’m 13-years-old and home schooled. I just started an Instagram account called Rockfords_Otherside (instagram.com/ rockfords_otherside). I started it to help people see that Rockford is a good place and not as bad as many people say. I also take photos of historical buildings and landmarks.

RRI: In your opinion, what is the best thing about Rockford right now?

DS: The best thing about Rockford is our downtown. It has grown so much with restoring historical buildings, and putting in delicious restaurants, awesome stores and the City Market. It has been flourishing and growing so fast!

RRI: How about the worst?

DS: We need to work on rebuilding our neighborhoods and (to) lower crime.

I think it would be great to restore old homes and factories.

RRI; What do you think our community o�ers that other cities our size do not?

DS: Well, Rockford o�ers many good things compared to other cities. We have done a very good job by helping downtown grow again and by bringing our beautiful city together.

RRI: If you could travel back in time three years and visit your younger self, what advice would you give to yourself?

DS: I would tell my younger self not to rush and not to try to be the best at everything. Also, to enjoy life.

RRI: If your mom and dad told you that they would take you anywhere you

RRI: Of all the things you are learning in your schoolwork right now, what do you think will be the most useful when

you are an adult?

DS: I do a lot of independent reading.

Most of the books are stories are about the history of many cultures, races, and other countries. Its helped me to have a better understanding of all people and what their lives are like.

RRI: If you could grow up to be famous, what would you want to be famous for?

DS: If I would to grow up to be famous I would want to be famous for taking old homes in Rockford and fixing them to what they used to be.

FILM REVIEWS

Guardians 2 the model superhero sequel

BY THOMAS SIMPSON

D

CONTRIBUTOR

etractors like to bemoan the weight of superhero fatigue that bores down on today’s cinema schedule. Someone forget to tell audiences that they’re getting sick of superhero films as even those panned by critics are cleaning up at the box o�ce.

Every so often a comic book movie arrives that appears to break the mould, and this didn’t end with Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Returns.

Deadpool was a breath of fresh air amongst the serious tone of others being released at that time while Logan’s R-rated contemporary Western brought a certain gravitas to the cartoon world of tights and capes.

Now, Marvel Studios are here to remind everyone else who is king with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

The first Guardians of the Galaxy was viewed with curiosity from the casual comic book fan and cinema goer.

Characters like Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bautista) weren’t exactly household names. Nevertheless, director James Gunn won over audiences with his comedic space opera that filled a lovely little pre-Episode VII hole.

Vol. 2 kicks o� brilliantly as we’ve already vaulted that awkward origin hurdle. We’re familiar with the team – also made up of Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Baby Groot (Vin Diesel) – and they’re equally acquainted with each other. It allows events to kick o� from the start and throws us straight into the plot. Quill is reunited with his father, Ego (Kurt Russell), a mysterious being who looks to make amends with his son for the time they’ve lost. Gamora is suspicious of Ego which causes rifts between her and Peter while the Guardians are hunted by a race of people they’ve o�ended. Cue hijinks.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is everything that a sequel should be. Gunn

takes everything that made the first one brilliant and turns it up to 11. The stakes are higher, the set-pieces are more elaborate, and the jokes are funnier. Much funnier.

The first one was humorous but it’s nothing to the laugh out loud reaction that Vol. 2 will evoke. At times silly, others clever, Gunn balances the script on a very slim tightrope ensuring that it doesn’t fall into parody territory even if some of the gags are ridiculous.

Ridiculous they may be, but they’re also side-splitting.

Vin Diesel’s three-word catchphrase of “I am Groot” was as infectious as it was brilliant first time round. This time it emanates from the adorable Baby Groot which promises a show stealing performance in every scene. Thankfully Gunn doesn’t shove Baby Groot done our throat in the way Captain Jack Sparrow was in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. He gives us enough to satisfy our thirst but always leaves us wanting more.

As hilarious as the film is the script gives wonderful depth to the characters and their relationships. We invest in their family bond and as such Gunn pulls the trigger at the right moments to have us sobbing into our popcorn. It’s a well paced plot that doesn’t panic and rush towards the end although I feared that may have been the case as we entered the third act as their seemed to be a lot still to tie up.

The action is inventive and o� the wall backed up once again by a killer soundtrack in Awesome Mix Vol 2. The opening credits sequence will have you grinning like a maniac and sets the tone of the film right from the o�.

You’ll laugh and cry for what is 136 minutes of sheer enjoyment. Even if you are su�ering from superhero fatigue, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has a cure for what ails ya.

This week

Mercury goes direct May 3 so be cautious as this mischief making planetary climate settles into a peaceful state. As the week goes on we will notice communication and travel begin to stabilize – whew! Venus remains in Aries until June 6 which can be a highly charged passionate time frame especially in the arena of love.

Remind yourself to slow down and breathe a bit here. Aries can have this spontaneous, impatient, direct effect on how we exchange our ideas of romantic bliss. Embrace this enthusiastic energy, and utilize it in the best possible light.

Although it can appear to be flighty, solid foundations can be built during these astrological influences. Enjoy!

Aries

You may be pushing yourself through an overwhelming burden. Scheduling conflicts or pure exhaustion may have you on your last nerve. Take a big step back and breathe for a moment. When all is said and done you have made the right choice to re-evaluate your decisions. Vehicles may be adding additional conflicts early on this week. By week’s end you find that a mountain was made out of a mole hill, Aries.

Taurus

This is a really good time to focus on the serious matters at hand as opposed to the supposed outside influences that appear to be controlling your life. If you are getting sucked into brush fires others are setting you won’t be able to see the truth behind all of the drama. You have other fabulous influences that will enhance the quality of your life arriving during this time. Take that to heart, Taurus.

Gemini

You may need to make a quick decision about a legal matter or help another with a similar situation shortly. Use your trump cards with connections that you have made in the past to solidify this

deal. When all is said and done everything will work out for the greater good.

By week’s end you have a plan to incorporate the weak and the strong. All is well that ends well, Gemini.

Cancer

You are beginning to see a long-term goal manifest right before your eyes. Now, don’t start the self-sabotaging element that you are used to out of fear. Allow this to unfold and step up to accept what is rightfully yours. You have worked long and hard to obtain this gift from the universe.

Do you deserve it? Absolutely, Cancer.

Leo

Finally you are receiving the recognition that you have busted your butt to acquire. Try not to read too much into the delays of the matter at hand. Instead, understand that everything worked out in perfect timing as it should. There are no more mysteries left to reveal – at least for this week. Why don’t you take a day off and try to relax a bit. You will be back to the grindstone soon enough, Leo.

Virgo

You may need to protect an individual from bad behavior or slander this week.

Be cautious not to overplay your cards by leaning in a totally different direction.

You may be misrepresented by a nosy individual that could be willing to put words in your mouth. Go behind the scenes and make sure your loved ones are properly watched over. By next week this will all blow over, Virgo.

Libra

Stop stressing out and take the solid route for now. In the meantime build your private goals and ambitions to the magnitude that the universe is providing at this time. You will feel more secure if you have something to rely on. By week’s end money sticks to the bottom of your shoe, Libra.

Scorpio

With your quick action and timing you are able to fix a potential hazard in your work environment midweek. Try to use a little diplomacy as you cover the tracks

of others. They mean well and it appears that no one really gave them a map to navigate in the area to begin with. Let it go and try to use praise instead of reprimanding them now. In the end all will have learned from their mistakes; and with any luck you have learned a thing or two as well, Scorpio.

Sagittarius

Connections you’re making now will end up benefiting you in the months to come. Synchronicity is working in perfect order for you. Pay close attention to those your drawing into your inner circle. These are positive individuals with the ability to help you grow. Changes in your physical appearance put a spring in your step, Sag.

Capricorn

Regardless of the outcome, you’re opening yourself up for some excellent opportunities in business as well as your personal life in the months to come. Try not to overthink everything and stay in the moment. When we rush into the future too quickly in our minds eye we miss the fabulous scenery along the way.

Take it slow, Capricorn.

Aquarius

Be very conscious of not appearing to favor one individual over another now.

This aspect may be arriving through family, friends or a work situation. Others may be frustrated with you as a result of this action and if you’re not aware of it, you won’t understand why. This week should be full of romantic energy. This is a great time to spend a quiet evening at home, Aquarius.

Pisces

Finances are breaking loose for the better at this time. You are able to start putting away some money for a rainy day now instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul. As a result for this you may feel the urge to splurge a bit and treat yourself to an unexpected pleasure. Take your time and choose wisely. This is a long-term commitment, Pisces.

VOICES FROM THE GRAVE

Rockford’s house of mystery

BY KATHI KRESOL

T

CONTRIBUTOR

he November night in 1958 was cold, and the almost full moon cast shadows from the tree branches and the slight breeze caused them to shake. It created the illusion that the branches were reaching toward the group of teenagers as they walked through the woods.

The 12 teenagers were on an adventure.

They must have been filled with excitement at the thought of visiting a spooky old house that had a reputation for being haunted. They probably felt that excitement right up until the police o�cers shone their flashlights on them.

The entire group was hauled down to the police station and charged with disorderly conduct. When questioned, the teens in the group all told the same story: The house had gained a reputation as a haunted house. The owners, Frank and Maude, had lived there in seclusion until Frank died and Maude was driven insane by the ghosts. All the kids in school spoke about the house but none were brave enough to check it out until now.

Usually, police o�cers shake their heads at these types of tales but even they had heard the stories of this particular house. By this time the house had earned the name, “Rockford’s House of Mystery.”

LOCAL HISTORY

Rockford’s founding years

E

very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city.

“The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifacts.

This week, we look back at Thanksgiving celebrations in the early days of the city.

It was built by Thomas Swords, a well-known Rockford businessman. He moved to Rockford as a child when his father came to work as an engineer at the Water Works. Thomas worked his way up through the ranks at some of the largest companies. He and his wife, Katherine Frances had children and built a great life together. Thomas would eventually become the head of Swords Electric Company as well some of the biggest businesses in Rockford. He devoted countless hours to design and oversee the building of the grand home on Spring Creek.

The Sword fortunes changed after they moved into their dream home. Thomas died shortly after moving into the house in 1930 and the family lost everything during the depression. The couple had four children, three boys and a girl.

By January of 1953 only their daughter survived. Katherine lived with her daughter in a small house miles away and worlds apart from their dream home on Spring Creek. Katherine died on January 16, 1953 in a horrible fire when she tragically fell asleep smoking a cigarette in bed. It seemed to some that the family was cursed.

The next owners of the luxurious home on Spring Creek were Frank and Maude Williams. Frank like Thomas before him was a well-known business man

with a good reputation in real estate. By 1936, Frank became the president of the Pioneer Life Insurance Company. When the couple moved into the impressive mansion on the hill, people supposed they would be entertaining with lavish dinner parties.

Instead the couple became reclusive and did not allow anyone inside the house. They didn’t belong to any club or organizations. They had their groceries delivered and met the delivery men at the door. They also refused to see doctors of any kind. The property fell into disrepair and rumors started to spread about the couple and the house they inhabited.

One day in 1952, Frank fell and Maude couldn’t lift him by herself. She had no choice but to call for assistance. When paramedics arrived they were shocked when Maude led them into the basement.

Frank was on the floor and his condition caused them to become very concerned.

Maude fluttered around them, insisting that they just needed to lift Frank back onto the cot he had fallen from.

The men noticed that Frank was horribly thin and unconscious. They loaded him onto a stretcher and rushed him to Swedish American Hospital. The police were also called. They had questions for Maude about Frank’s condition. When doctors examined Frank they discovered he was su�ering from malnutrition

and anemia. He had broken his hip in a previous fall that had occurred approximately ten days prior to the call. When they asked Maude why Frank was in the basement, she stated simply that “He liked to sleep down there.” Frank never regained consciousness and died shortly after being admitted.

There was an inquest into Frank’s death but in the end, there was no evidence of foul play. Maude was so frail that it was completely conceivable that she just couldn’t care for Frank. That combined with their distrust for medical doctors created a recipe for disaster.

Maude stayed alone in the house as the years took its toll on the property.

Rumors continued to spread until they trickled down to the students. Maude passed away in a nursing home in December 1961.

Many families have lived in the house over the years. Each one has improved the house and the property. If there was a curse or the house was haunted at one time, it seems that the loving care shown by the owners has cleared that away. It has once again been restored to its reputation as one of the finest homes in Rockford.

Starting your asparagus patch

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Asparagus is our last spring perennial vegetable to be covered. As the soil begins to warm in the spring, the annual stems will begin to emerge. In one of the gardens at work, I started started to see some emergence of these stout stems.

A typical planting of asparagus can last 20-30 years and many of the well-established ones in our area may be even older. The older plantings have both male and female plants although you do not need to have a male and female to produce.

When planting asparagus, you need to keep in mind soil pH as asparagus does not tolerate acidic soils, lower than a pH of 6.5. You’ll be planting one-yearold crowns so you want to have an area of your garden that is suitable for it to grow. Asparagus can benefit from a fertilizer application each year of 10-10-10. Try to plant in an area that is weed free as asparagus competes poorly with weeds. If you do need to control weeds, you should not apply salt to the asparagus bed. By applying salt, this may negatively a�ect the soil nutrients and beneficial soil microbes.

You’ll space asparagus plants 9-18

inches apart with 4-5 feet between rows. Plant at a depth of 6-8 inches.

Harvest will begin in the third year by harvesting large stems that are 5-8 inches of length. You should harvest by hand by snapping the asparagus. This is a better strategy than harvesting with a knife as cutting the stems may open the plant up to diseases and pests than if they were snapped.

A fern will appear during the season. Unlike the rhubarb seed stalk, you should not remove the fern. The feathery fern will help the rhizome grow better and if you remove the fern, it could possibly limit your yield in subsequent years. Leave the fern on until the spring when you can remove it quite easily.

Most of the varieties on the market are males. The reason being they are bred to be more vigorous.

Recommended varieties include Jersey Giant, Jersey Knight, and Jersey Supreme. Mary Washington is another variety that is an heirloom and is quite productive.

NAFTA trade important for meat industry

BY STEPHANIE HENRY U OF I NEWS BUREAU

URBANA – The 2016 election cycle created a lot of confusion about the importance and benefits of trade in general. In particular, a good bit of the election year rhetoric focused on trade within the NAFTA trade bloc (United States, Canada and Mexico) In a April 28 “farmdoc daily” article, Gary Schnitkey, Kathy Baylis, and Jonathan Coppess highlighted the importance of trade with Canada and Mexico for U.S. corn and soybean farmers, focusing specifically on imports of corn and soybeans by those two countries. However, in addition to examining feed grain and oilseed trade, it’s important to examine meat trade as well, explains Purdue University Extension agricultural economist James Mintert.

“Growth in the trade of animal products has been quite dramatic over the last three decades and U.S. agricultural producers, those engaged in animal agriculture, and those engaged in feed grain and oilseed production, have benefitted,” Mintert says. “In particular, U.S. crop producers have benefitted because the increase in U.S. meat exports has encouraged expansion of U.S. animal agriculture and boosted demand for U.S. produced feed grains and oilseeds.”

To see this more clearly, Mintert says it’s helpful to examine how dramatic the shift has been in U.S. meat exports. In the mid-1980s, U.S. beef exports to all destinations totaled

less than 500 million pounds. In 2016, U.S. beef exports were 2.55 billion pounds and are projected to hit 2.7 billion pounds in 2017.

Individual country data from USDA indicates that about 12 percent (308 million pounds) of all U.S. beef exports were shipped to Canada in 2016. The U.S. shipped even more beef to Mexico than Canada as beef exports to Mexico totaled 394 million pounds, about 15 percent of all U.S. beef exports, in 2016. Combined, the two NAFTA trading partners absorbed 27 percent of all U.S. beef exports in 2016.

In the mid-1980s U.S. pork exports were even smaller than U.S. beef exports, totaling just 129 million pounds. By 2016 U.S. pork exports were more than 40 times as large as in 1985, reaching a total of 5.2 billion pounds. In 2016, approximately one out of five pounds of pork produced in the United States was exported.

“Trade benefits both importers and exporters. This cursory examination of recent U.S. meat trade patterns focused on exports alone, but that is not intended to downplay the value to consumers of increased product choices provided by imports,” Mintert says. “However, this review does make clear how important meat trade has become to U.S. animal agriculture producers and the potential impact a disruption in trade with NAFTA partners Canada and Mexico would have on the U.S. animal agriculture sector and, in turn, producers of feed grains and oilseeds.”

Increase in ag ed positions opens doors for new teachers A state agriculture education group is recruiting a new generation of Illinois agriculture teachers to fill a growing number of open positions.

According to Jennifer Waters, program adviser for Facilitating Coordination in Agricultural Education (FCAE), there are 325 agriculture programs in schools across the state. So far, 32 of 53 available agriculture education openings have been filled.

“We’re happy to say we’ve filled most of the positions, and we’ve got some great candidates coming in,” Waters said. “We’re excited for where we’re going.”

FCAE is a project through the Illinois State Board of Education that, among other initiatives, assists high school agriculture teachers with programs, curriculum and professional development opportunities and works with high school and college students going into agriculture education.

Waters said in the past, it was typical to see approximately 20 openings for agriculture educators. Some of the increase in available

positionsisduetoretirements,openingopportunities for teachers graduating from college.

“Twenty-five percent of our teachers right now are 30 years of age or younger, so we have a young profession with the average age being 39,” Waters said. “But most of our teachers — 34 percent — have five years or less of experience.”

FCAE has worked to expand the number of programs o�ered throughout the state and hopes to continue to see new agriculture educator positions added and filled by qualified professional.

“We have seen a trend of an increased need in high school agriculture teachers in Illinois,” Waters said. “And that’s not anything unique to Illinois; it’s something we’re seeing nationwide.”

Waters added that young educators face many challenges, including financial restraints, so the FCAE has partnered with other organizations to o�er grants for first-year agriculture teachers.

NFL DRAFT. WRAP UP

Bears owe Glennon only his contract Packers pare backs after taking 3

BY DAVID HAUGH

A

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

s far as I can tell, Mike Glennon left an NFL draft gathering the Bears asked him to attend last Thursday and went straight to a pity party in his honor where apparently the whole city is invited.

Forgive me for not sending an RSVP. The Bears moving up to draft North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky second overall stunned the football world and, it seems, nobody more than Glennon, the free-agent the Bears signed in March to a three-year, $45 million contract. Reports indicate Glennon felt a sense of betrayal based on general manager Ryan Pace making him feel he was their guy for 2017.

BREAKING: Glennon still is.

The big redhead arrived in town with an easy smile and engaging personality, posed for pictures, met new teammates, sang at Wrigley Field and embraced everything that came with the opportunity to start for the Bears. There was nothing false about Glennon’s enthusiasm or disingenuous about the Bears’ clear intentions that they viewed Glennon as their starter for next season.

Nor should there have been any illusions about what the structure of Glennon’s deal — a $16 million guarantee for next season with a modest $2.5 million buyout — suggested about the Bears’ long-term plans at the position.

If anybody failing to understand NFL reality still needs an interpretation, the Bears basically were telling Glennon to rent instead of buy. The Glennon situation always looked like a one-year commitment, at most, by the Bears. So this is the only assurance that the Bears needed to give Glennon beyond what his contract says: The checks will clear.

The Bears provided generational wealth for a mediocre 27-year-old quarterback with 18 NFL starts. Glennon should be laughing at his good fortune instead of moping about Mitch.

“Blindsiding their own QB,” the Tribune headline screamed Monday.

Sorry, but if Glennon couldn’t have seen something like this coming, the quarterback has no chance of reading the blitz on third-and-long.

Everybody knew that Pace had to draft a quarterback with one of his first two picks, even after Glennon signed.

And everybody knew that whatever rookie Pace drafted would be groomed as the Bears’ quarterback of the future.

Since signing in March, after all, Glennon has been referred to as a bridge in Chicago often enough to have the city schedule an inspection. If Glennon expected to be the unchallenged starter

BY MICHAEL COHEN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The Bears shocked the world – and their presumptive starting quarterback – trading up one spot to grab UNC QB Mitchell Trubisky with the second pick in last week’s NFL Draft. on a team in transition that has won nine games in two years, he was the only one.

A quarterback who has proven so little as an NFL quarterback joining a rebuilding project should realize competition eventually will be part of the deal — and relish that challenge, not resist it. If Glennon is good enough to be beyond reproach, as his sensitivity suggests he believes, he will take advantage of this opportunity and play well enough to give the Bears the great problem of having two quarterback assets.

It’s nice to think Glennon chose the Bears because they represented the clearest path to the field, but that’s football romanticism. He picked the Bears because they o�ered significantly more money than any other team and, frankly, nothing else Pace said during negotiations mattered as much as the guaranteed dollar amount.

If Pace intentionally misled Glennon and actually stated the Bears wouldn’t draft a quarterback in the first round — which I have a hard time envisioning a general manager in Pace’s position doing — shame on him. But shame on Glennon, a veteran of four NFL seasons, for believing anything that comes out of the mouth of an NFL executive about free agency except financial terms.

Maybe Pace shouldn’t have implied whatever he allegedly implied but Glennon never should have been naive enough to believe it. The Bears complicated Glennon’s status. They didn’t demote or cut him.

The Bears just spent eight years being criticized for considering quarterback Jay Cutler too often when adding players and coaches. Now, Pace makes a major move without factoring in feelings and suddenly people want to remind us the NFL is a relationship business.

The NFL is, but winning trumps everything in professional sports. Had Cubs president Theo Epstein done what Pace did in the name of creating competition at the most important position in sports, Chicagoans would call Epstein a cutthroat genius. Pace, still unproven and unpolished, lacks the benefit of the doubt so he gets cast in this silly melodrama as the lying villain.

And so what if the Bears took Trubisky when Glennon was at Soldier Field as their guest at a team-sponsored draft party? If coach John Fox reportedly was caught o�-guard by Pace drafting a quarterback so high, do you really think the GM was going to alert the team’s marketing department about the possibility?

Human nature allows Glennon to feel disappointment, and even shock, when the news broke but perspective should have been restored with a quick walk around the perimeter of the stadium. If Glennon allows himself to stay bugged for too long, is this the guy you want in the huddle on the final possession down four with 2 minutes to go?

By the time players report to Bourbonnais in July, the Bears better hope the injury report no longer includes Glennon’s bruised ego.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers decided they no longer needed running backs Christine Michael and Don Jackson after selecting three running backs in the NFL draft.

Both were informed of their release Monday morning.

The only guaranteed money the Packers will have to count against their salary cap as a result of the moves is the $25,000 signing bonus Michael received in March.

Both players’ minimum-wage base salaries will be wiped o� the books.

With Jamaal Williams (Round 4, Pick 134, BYU), Aaron Jones (Round 5, Pick 182, UTEP) and Devante Mays (Round 7, Pick 238, Utah State) all en route to Green Bay, what had been a barren cupboard suddenly was stocked to the brim.

The Packers went into the draft with Ty Montgomery as the starter and Michael and Jackson as the backups. Jackson was signed as an undrafted free agent last year and Michael was claimed o� waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 16.

Jackson’s contract expired after the season, but the Packers made a one-year qualifying o�er after the season that the second-year back signed April 5. Michael became an unrestricted free agent after the season and re-signed with the team March 23.

Jackson, 23, understood his time with the organization was dwindling after the Packers selected a second running back Saturday afternoon, according to a source close to the situation. When a third running back was drafted in the seventh round, Jackson knew his next commute to Lambeau Field would be his last.

The Packers released Jackson when he arrived at the facility for Monday’s portion of the o�season workout program, the source said.

“The Packers are a first-class organization,” Jackson told the Journal Sentinel in a text message. “I have tons of respect for the sta�, and this will be a vital motivating factor to my career.”

The Packers didn’t add any other running backs after the draft, but they could consider moving undrafted free agent Taysom Hill there if he doesn’t pan out at quarterback. He’s 6-foot-2, 230 pounds and ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at his pro day. He ran for 2,815 yards, a school-record for a quarterback, during his time at BYU. After the draft, coach Mike McCarthy made it clear that Montgomery not only would stay at running back, but that he was his starting running back as of now.
