A county judge has ruled an Illinois man can remain anonymous as he sues Dennis Hastert, saying the former House speaker sexually assaulted him when he was a fourth-grader. WLS-TV in Chicago reports a Kane County judge made the ruling Tuesday morning in the civil lawsuit filed Friday. It’s at least the fifth such allegation against Hastert, who will soon be released from prison in a hush-money case. His attorneys didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. The suit was filed using the pseudonym Richard Doe. It alleges the former Illinois Republican congressman abused him during the 1970s in Yorkville, where Hastert was a high school wrestling coach. The suit says Doe “was traumatized, repressed the sexual assault by Hastert, and was intimidated into silence.” He says both Hastert and then-Kendall County State’s Attorney Dallas Ingemunson warned the boy not to make the accusations public. Hastert, 75, is serving 15 months for trying to pay $3.5 million in hush money to one victim.

Rauner will sign automatic voter registration A spokeswoman says Gov. Bruce Rauner will sign a plan to automatically register qualified Illinois voters. State lawmakers have already approved the proposal. It calls for registering individuals automatically when they visit one of several state agencies unless they opt out. Rauner vetoed a different version of the plan over concerns that it didn’t do enough to prevent voter fraud. Rauner spokeswoman Eleni Demertzis thanked bill sponsors and stakeholders in Tuesday statement saying the “sanctity” of the election process must be protected. Roughly half a dozen other states, including Oregon and West Virginia, already automatically register voters.

House votes to boost minimum wage

The Illinois House has approved a proposal that would raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour over five years. House lawmakers voted 61 to 53 Tuesday. Democratic state Rep. Will Guzzardi of Chicago says the plan would help working people make ends meet. Illinois’ minimum wage is $8.25. Under the plan, workers age 18 and over would see the wage jump in increments until 2022. The plan also includes a tax credit for businesses with 50 employees or fewer. Opponents, including retail groups, say raising the wage hurts businesses. Republican state Rep. Keith Wheeler of Oswego says the plan will make Illinois more uncompetitive. It’s unclear whether Gov. Bruce Rauner will sign the bill. The Republican has said he’d support a minimum wage increase in conjunction with other regulatory changes. –Wire reports

Jail plan on ice Sheriff scraps proposal to house immigration detainees in county jail

Illinois News Network

‘M

Bill limits police action on immigration status By Greg Bishop

By Jim Hagerty DOWNTOWN — Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana knew two things when he was considering a plan to house immigration detainees in the county jail as part of an agreement with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He was going to thoroughly vet the proposal and present it to the Winnebago County Board for final approval, and he had a list of conditions he required ICE to meet. Caruana was in the process of doing the first, working closely with Winnebago County Board Chairman Frank Haney and other area leaders. Federal immigration officials, however, could not meet his terms, so the sheriff scrapped the idea. “My decision was based on facts and my word,” Caruana said. “I had five stipulations and (ICE) could not meet the criteria–the categories that I stipulated.” Amid considerable blow back from Winnebago County’s Latino community and others, Caruana crunched numbers for several weeks and contended that by housing as many as 128 federal ICE detainees, the county could see about $3 million a year after expenses. For a cashstrapped county in cash-strapped Illinois, it was a welcomed reprieve. He spent the last several weeks assuring the public that an ICE detention center would not mean his officers would be out looking for undocumented immigrants. In fact, one of his conditions was that civil detainees would not be held here, only felons or those accused of mid- to high-level crimes. Winnebago County State’s Attorney Joe Bruscato and Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara both spoke against the partnership largely because of potential setbacks in local relations with minorities. Activist Rudy Valdez, a strong voice of the Latino community, cited civil and economic problems with it. Valdez, who ran against McNamara for mayor, said the plan would have likely netted around $467,000 – not the millions the sheriff was set to sell to the board.

State

Rudy Valdez (L) talks with Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana after last week’s press conference announcing the end of a plan to bring an ICE detention facility to the county jail. Photo, Jim Hagerty “Since 2014, the monthly number of inmates has varied from 645 to 907 in the 1318-bed Winnebago County jail,” Valdez said in a letter to The Times. If those averages remained constant, the jail capacity may have only reached 61 percent. In other words, Valdez said the sheriff’s projections were made on the assumption that all 128 beds would be full 365 days per year. Before halting the plan, Caruana was in the process of looking to McHenry County, where part of its jail houses ICE detainees. There, the facility has room for 250 ICE-inmates but houses an average of 160 detainees per year.

Crimes not being reported

Throughout the country, the number of Hispanics afraid to report crimes out of fear of deportation is on the rise. Some police departments are seeing the number of reported sexual assaults in the Latino community drop by more than 40 percent since the first of the year. Robberies and aggravated assaults are down by more than 10 percent. Although it is not something area police agencies are authorized to do, in some areas, ICE has made arrests at courthouses, namely in border states. But, ICE officers are in Rockford and as nationwide immigration-related arrests

y decision was based on facts and my word.’ –Sheriff Gary Caruana

increase, there is a lot of misinformation out there, and Hispanics are leery, a reason the sheriff did not want to house civil detainees. Caruana also required a 30-day out clause written into the plan, profits from the program to go toward public safety projects, the detention center monitored by the community and county board, and that he maintain full control of the jail.

It’s ‘his jail’

“(These were) must-haves early on when the sheriff started to research this process,” Haney said. “We formulated that in that first month. From the initial forum about a month ago, (the sheriff) was very clear and up front. No. 1, is that this is his jail, and it would house folks that met his standards and the community’s standards and that we not have civil detainees.” Haney called the sheriff’s process open, thoughtful and transparent. “He took his time to vet and get to the facts. It has been an emotional couple weeks and we want our community engaged. The sheriff did his due diligence and was true to his word that this would have been, had he recommended it, a (county) board decision. This was about a process that included feedback from our community but ultimately, that once they helped shape these five (conditions), it was ICE that could not meet these minimum standards, so there is no agreement.” A protest turned into a celebration as hundreds gathered at the corner of Elm and Church streets after the sheriff made the announcement. Some people danced and sang along with a DJ, while others socialized to the sounds of a live Mariachi band. R. jim.hagerty@rockrivertimes.com

An Illinois Senate measure that would bar state and local law enforcement agencies from detaining a person solely because of an immigration detainer or a non-judicial warrant that is issued by the federal Immigration Customs Enforcement agency passed the House mostly along party lines. State Rep. Emanuel Welch, D-Hillsdale, said immigrants are fearful they’ll be detained based on their immigration status, even if they didn’t violate any criminal laws. “This is a country built on immigrants and deporting people for no reason, who don’t have criminal records, is wrong,” Welch said. State Rep. Steve Andersson, R-Geneva, said he has concerns about Senate Bill 31. “I’m concerned that what we’re doing here is painting with a broad brush,” Andersson said. “We’re trying to deal with what is a federal issue. ... I think more comprehensive immigration reform is appropriate, but the appropriate venue is not the Illinois state government, it’s the federal government.” State Rep. Allen Skillicorn, R-East Dundee, said this could open the door for Illinois to not follow other federal laws such as income tax enforcement. “We could say the IRS cannot arrest Illinois residents. We could say the IRS could not seize assets of Illinois residents. Think of the economic possibilities if we create a tax haven in Illinois,” Skillicorn said. “We could protect tax refugees.” “This measure aims to create trust between immigrant and law enforcement communities,” said State Rep. Litesa Wallace, D-Rockford. “In Rockford, we should be looking for ways that foster cooperation and communication between our residents and those who serve to protect us. This bill helps to do that.” Wallace added, “Our local police and resources should not be burdened with rounding up residents who have not committed a crime in order to address a political agenda.” Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, said the measure, dubbed the Illinois Trust Act, gives law enforcement discretion on what to do. A previous iteration of the bill found opposition from various law enforcement groups, but Welch said a House floor amendment takes that opposition away. The measure passed 62-49 and heads back to the Senate for concurrence before heading to Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desk.

Contract with the Community

ICE discussions show Contract ideas in action By John Guevara

Contributor

fter Juan Juarez’s father was murdered in the hills of Jalisco, Mexico, his mother told him he should flee to the United States. Juan walked across the border and traveled to Chicago. His cousin, Luis, had a job lined up for him. Eventually, Juan left Chicago to work on the railroad in Savanna. His daughter, Susan Guevara of Rockford, explained her father’s loyalty to illegal immigrants. “Hispanics are very loyal to Hispanics, and educated or not, they side with illegal immigrants.” Had Juan walked across the border today, he would be in danger of being arrested and detained in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility similar to the one discussed with such intensity in Winnebago County over the past few months. The county’s process of evaluating and ultimately declining the detention center serves as an example of how local government should make good decisions involving three points from our Contract with the Community: Transform government processes, Safer streets, and finding a Reasonable tax burden.

Transform government processes

Caruana was clear from the start: Any decision on an ICE detention center would be had in the light of day. Back room politics were never an option. “This is how we need to work through stuff as a community,” said Caruana. “If we’re going to get to become a top tier community by 2025 we need practice good government listen to the community, weigh out all the facts, and come to a decision.” County Board Chairman Frank Haney was also clear about the need for an open, transparent process. “A public process can be messy, especially when there are hot-button issues being discussed. But it sure beats the alternative of doing business in the dark. I also think it was critical that we didn’t rush the process. Time was needed to do due diligence at the professional staff level while also being open to public input at the same time.”

Reasonable tax burden

The county is facing a significant deficit. Instead of looking to raise property or sales taxes, the sheriff investigated opportunities to avoid punishing Winnebago County taxpayers with property or sales tax increases. Some questioned the integrity of the sheriff’s dollar and population estimates. It is important to make sure we are working with apples-to-apples comparisons. For example, any comparison should

Winnebago County Board Chairman Frank Haney speaks at a public gathering downtown last Thursday following the announcement that the county would not pursue a proposed immigration detention facility in its jail. Photo, Jon McGinty have been made to other ICE detention centers instead of to the county’s jail population, if only because the jail population has been steadily rising since 2014. County board member Dan Fellars said, “ Recent actions by the sheriff and county administration as it relates to the ICE detention facility show that we are making progress toward the county’s commitment to being transparent and accountable to taxpayers.” The greater challenge for many county board members will be balancing the budget without raising property or sales taxes.

Safer streets

One of the most specific and telling comments made during the first forum on the ICE detention center was about the detainees in McHenry County’s ICE facility: “These people are not part of our community.” Even with a comparison indicating that future detainees would probably be felons, Sheriff Caruana and Chairman Haney decided any agreement with ICE should guarantee that a Winnebago County facility would only hold “mid- to high-level felons.” This is an important aspect to consider. Immigration and open borders

advocates routinely trumpet that every immigrant’s intent is to work. It is essential that both sides of the immigration divide agree, those immigrants who come here illegally and choose to commit violent crimes or aggressive misdemeanors deserve to be deported. Several opponents to the ICE detention center are on record claiming the facility would “undo” the work our region has done to build trust in the Latino community. Now that the facility has been rejected by the sheriff, there is no excuse for full cooperation between Latinos and law enforcement, especially when it comes to gang-related crime, domestic violence and sexual abuse. In the aftermath of the debate, board member Eli Nicolosi is hopeful for our area to win the war in crime. “What impressed me in this process overall is that I truly believe both sides were able to get a sense of where the other was coming from,” said Nicolosi, “a rarity in this day and age. There was respect given from both sides of the issue and it goes to show that as a community we have taken a step forward. Hopefully, we can capitalize on this momentum and figure out some new solutions for public safety.” The current situation is not unlike that of South Florida in the early 1980s. Fidel

Castro released thousands of hardened criminals among the hundreds of thousands of refugees who fled Cuba in 1980. Innocent, hardworking immigrants sought to distance themselves from the reputation of those who served as the inspiration for the movie Scarface. The same holds true today. There should be zero tolerance for illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes. Anything less does a disservice to those, like Juan Juarez, who come to this country to work hard and provide for their family. Caruana made the right decision the right way by choosing to reject an ICE detention center. He and Haney transformed the process by conducting an open and transparent discussion. They sought to ensure a reasonable tax burden by considering me the proposal. And the decision was made while keeping the goal of safer streets in mind. Now it falls to the citizens of this community to help Caruana and Winnebago County win the war on crime. R. The Contract with the Community is our 10-point plan to ensure a better government for the citizens of our community.

Two years, no budget BY JOHN O’CONNOR AP POLITICAL WRITER

SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois General Assembly that launched the careers of political giants such as Abraham Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglas and Barack Obama and the governor’s o�ce once occupied by Adlai Stevenson II have set a record in futility in failing to agree on an annual spending plan for more than two years, the longest fiscal drought of any state since at least the Great Depression. The Democratic-led Legislature and first-term Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner have stared each other down since 2015. They have until 12:01 a.m. Thursday before striking out again and facing the possibility of entering a third consecutive year with no spending blueprint. Agreeing on a budget after May 31 requires a three-fifths majority vote, which would make it all the harder. Here’s a look at how it developed and what might come next:

The scramble

Racing against the deadline, the House is considering a Senate-adopted plan that spends $37.3 billion in the coming ﬁscal year, but is funded by a $5.4 billion tax increase and would reduce spending by $3 billion. Their scrambling may be for naught, as Rauner’s budget chief has termed the direction they’re heading a “bad deal for taxpayers” that the governor would veto. Democrats likely don’t have enough votes to override Rauner’s veto so the deadlock would continue. And the election for governor and large parts of the Legislature looms in 2018,

making it even harder for either side to compromise.

How it happened

Rauner, a private equity investor, won his ﬁrst public o�ce in 2014 on an anti-tax, pro-business agenda of government repair, once even suggesting it might require a government shutdown, or “do-over.” As he was inaugurated, a temporary, ﬁve-year Democratic income tax increase that had provided up to $7 billion extra a year, was allowed to expire, and the tax rate rolled back. Predictably, revenues fell far short of spending and red ink piled up. Rauner demanded cost-cutting changes to workers’ compensation laws, which he says are needed to lure businesses to Illinois. He also wants a freeze on local property taxes, which are among the highest in the nation. And he is seeking term limits on politicians, a thinly-veiled attack on entrenched Democrats such as Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, who will soon be the nation’s longest serving speaker at 34 years. Democrats, who have large majorities in the Legislature, said Rauner’s demands were an attack on the middle class and had nothing to do with the budget.

Limping along

State government did not shut down. Instead, it limped along largely because of federal court orders requiring the spending of incoming tax revenues, and due to some periodic appropriations. The result has been catastrophic. Vendors wait six months to be paid from a $14.5 billion pile of overdue bills. The ﬁscal year will end June 30 with a deﬁcit pushing

$6 billion. Pensions for retired and current state employees are more than $100 billion short of what’s necessary.

Enter the ‘grand bargain’

Desperatetobreakthedeadlock,Democratic Senate President John Cullerton and Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno tried to devise a compromise plan. The “grand bargain” provided for a hefty income tax hike, Democratic-friendly initiatives to help low-income families and proposals such as a property tax freeze and workers compensation changes to appease Rauner. Attempted votes, false starts and ﬁnger-pointing ate up much of the spring. With time running out last week, Senate Democrats frustrated with the pace of negotiations, went it alone, adopting a budget plan they said was based on Republican proposals, which raised taxes and cut spending. Senate Democrats approved workers compensation changes and, on Monday, a two-year property-tax freeze, which Republicans said was not long enough.

Next...

In a Sunday memo to House members, Rauner budget director Scott Harry said the governor sees a massive tax increase with no “meaningful” reforms. Wrote Harry: “If this bad deal for taxpayers comes to the governor’s desk, he will veto it.” After Wednesday, approving a budget — or overriding a veto — would require 36 votes in the Senate, where there are 37 Democrats. The House’s 67 Democrats would need GOP votes to achieve a 71-vote supermajority.

Bill seeks sti�er penalties on multiple gun o�ences BY COLE LAUTERBACH ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

State lawmakers’ attempt to crack down on multiple gun o�enders was temporarily stalled after an opponent used a procedural move to keep it in limbo, but it’s now headed to the state Senate for consideration. If signed into law, the measure would strengthen penalties for someone with multiple gun convictions. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and others in the city have pushed to make sure the o�enders, most commonly gang-a�liated, aren’t out of prison in as little as a year and back on the streets causing more violence. It would also make judges explain their reasoning behind more lenient sentences on two-time gun o�enders. The bill’s sponsor, Republican Minority Leader and former Cook County prosecutor Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, said some-

thing has to be done to stem the violence. “This is a start of trying to do something to stop this plague of violence, which we pick up and read in our newspapers on a daily basis,” Durkin said. The bill had plenty of support on the House ﬂoor Monday. “I don’t want to be considered weak on crime in my district,” said Luis Arroyo, D-Chicago. “If you get caught with a gun, lock ‘em up.” While most sympathized with victims of gun violence, State Rep. Juliana Stratton, D-Chicago, said putting people in jail doesn’t solve the problem. “When I think about solutions to gun violence, what I am looking for are solutions that will actually reduce the violence,” she said. The bill passed with wide bipartisan

support, but state Rep. Thaddeus Jones, D-Calumet City, voted for it and then ﬁled what’s called a motion to reconsider the vote, placing a hold on it. In a statement, Jones, speaking on behalf of the Legislative Black Caucus, said the bill is incomplete. “We are seeking to work on a holistic solution that includes revenue to impacted communities that will fully fund violence prevention programs, enhance public educational opportunities and job programs while also allowing police o�cers the tools needed to properly identify gun o�enders,” he said. Jones said gun violence should be declared a public health crisis. On Tuesday, Jones withdrew the motion and allowed the bill to move to the Senate after reassurances from Durkin that they would continue to work on the root causes of gun violence.

Serving those who served

Veterans court a vital state program By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD – Veterans make up a significant percentage of the United State prison population. About 10 percent. Thousands return from duty with a range of problems including alcoholism and underlying psychological and emotional issues that, although treatable, can take years to manage. It’s all too familiar for veterans to arrive home and not have immediate resources; some come back to Rockford homeless and must turn to municipal services for shelter. Others find themselves in custody for crimes. For those, there’s a state program called veterans court. The Winnebago County program is part of the 17th Judicial Circuit Court Problem-Solving Division overseen by Judge Janet Holmgren. Designed to give veteran offenders a second chance and, most importantly, services they need, it offers deferred sentencing for non-violent offenses if veterans agree to undergo substance abuse or mental health services. Once they complete the voluntary program, their charges are dismissed. “The goals of veterans court is to enhance public safety in a fiscally responsible manner and to improve the quality of life for the individual participants, their families and the community by reducing the likelihood that they will re-offend,” Deputy Court Administrator Emily Behnke said. “Veterans must attending court regularly, meet with probation and comply with toxicology screening.” There are currently 15 veteran courts in Illinois. The Veterans and Service members Court Treatment Act allows for the program

to be operated at the local level. And what officials are discovering is that the one-size-fits-all criminal justice system will fail those who could truly benefit from treatment and are willing to receive it. “Veterans courts are designed to enable judges to have more discretion and understanding of the complex and unique issues facing our veterans,” says State Sen. Sam McCann, R-Plainview. “These courts can be more sympathetic to challenges such as PTSD that can be a major part of how veterans ended up in court in the first place.” “When emotional problems are left untreated, a coping mechanism is typically avoidance,” Rockford psychotherapist

Leann Jenkins said. “People avoid their emotions by using drugs and alcohol. If they become addicted to drugs and alcohol and have limited resources, that will typically lead to criminal activity and homelessness.” Some crimes where untreated issues are at the root lead to violence, learned behavior brought on by a toxic assemblage of disorders common to returning veterans such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and traumatic brain injury. Especially those who have seen combat find themselves unable to cope with civilian life, and not realize why even after they get into violent situations they normally

would have avoided. Many are sent to jail, where they are not properly treated. And with combat veterans responsible for more than 20 percent of the nation’s domestic violence, veterans court could not have come at better time, experts say. The more people avoid treatment, the more complex the issue becomes. “It’s not a black and white issue,” Jenkins said. “There is a lot of gray area. It depends on the trauma and levels of resiliency. Unresolved trauma-related symptoms including flashbacks, nightmares and difficulty sleeping could negative impact one’s quality of life.” They could also be deadly. “The rate of suicide increases if emotional problems are not addressed or treated,” she said. In 2014, more than 7,400 veterans took their own lives. As veterans only comprise 9 percent of the U.S. population, that number is more than alarming. Last year, a study by the Veterans Administration that included 50 million records, showed that approximately 20 veterans commit suicide every day. Winnebago County also offers services for veterans through the Veterans Assistance Commission. The program provides assistance for honorably discharged veterans and their families, including shelter, financial assistance and hygiene. Veterans must be residents of Winnebago County to qualify for the program. The commission worked alongside former Mayor Larry Morrissey’s administration in 2015 to help make Rockford the first city in the nation to reach functional zero among homeless veterans.

WASHINGTON — Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn will provide documents to the Senate intelligence committee as part of its probe into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, The Associated Press has learned. Flynn will turn over documents related to two of his businesses as well as some personal documents the committee requested earlier this month, a person close to Flynn said. Flynn plans to produce documents by next week. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss Flynn’s private interactions with the committee. The decision Tuesday was the first signal that Flynn and the Senate panel have found common ground. Congressional investigators continue to press for key documents in the ongoing investigation, and the retired lieutenant general is trying to limit damaging disclosures that hostile Democratic lawmakers could use against him. Flynn had previously invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination in declining an earlier request from the committee. Flynn’s attorneys had argued the initial request was too broad and would have required Flynn to turn over information that could have been used against him. Flynn’s cooperation came as President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, rejected a request for documents as part of a House committee’s separate probe into Russia’s election meddling and contacts with the Trump campaign. Cohen, a longtime attorney for the Trump Organization, remains a personal lawyer for Trump. He served as a cable television surrogate for the Republican during the presidential campaign. The House intelligence committee’s request for information from Cohen came

as the investigators continued to scrutinize members of Trump’s inner circle, including Flynn. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said last week that a subpoena for Flynn from the House panel was likely. “I declined the invitation to participate as the request was poorly phrased, overly broad and not capable of being answered,” Cohen told The Associated Press. “I find it irresponsible and improper that the request sent to me was leaked by those working on the committee.” Cohen told ABC News Tuesday that he had been asked by both the House and Senate intelligence committees to provide information and testimony about contacts he had with Russian officials. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the allegations of Moscow meddling in the U.S. presidential election are “fiction” invented by the Democrats in order to explain their loss. In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Putin reaffirmed his strong denial of Russian involvement in the hacking of Democratic emails. The interview was recorded during Putin’s Monday trip to Paris and released Tuesday. Trump made a similar claim in a tweet early Tuesday: “Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News.” Cohen’s ties with Russian interests came up in February when The New York Times reported that Cohen helped to broker a Ukraine peace plan that would call for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine and a referendum to let Ukrainians decide whether the part of the country seized by Russia in 2014 should be leased to Moscow. The Russian government denied knowing anything about such a plan. The Times reported that the peace plan was the work of Felix Sater, a business associate who has helped Trump try to find business in Russia, and Cohen.

3 Mile Island, site of 1979 accident, to close By Mark Levy

Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Cheap natural gas could do what the worst commercial nuclear power accident in U.S. history could not: put Three Mile Island out of business. Three Mile Island’s owner, Exelon Corp., announced Tuesday that the plant that was the site of a terrifying partial meltdown in 1979 will close in 2019 unless the state of Pennsylvania comes to its financial rescue. The plant, along with other nuclear power installations around the U.S., has struggled to compete in an electricity market booming with inexpensive gas. The Chicago-based energy company’s announcement came after what it called more than five years of losses at the single-reactor plant and Three Mile Island’s recent failure to be selected as a guaranteed supplier of power to the regional electric grid. Exelon wants Pennsylvania to give nuclear power the kind of preferential treatment and premium payments that are extended to renewable forms of energy, such as wind and solar. It has not said how much it wants. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has made

no commitment to a bailout but said in a statement Tuesday that he is concerned about layoffs at Three Mile Island and open to discussions. Exelon employs 675 people at the plant. So-called nuclear bailouts have won approval in Illinois and New York, but the potential for higher utility bills in

Pennsylvania is generating resistance from rival energy companies, manufacturers and consumer advocates. Exelon and other nuclear plant owners have made the pitch to states that such installations are big employers and sources of tax revenue and that their zero-carbon energy can help fight climate change better

Are renewables unstoppable? By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

ith the continuing drop in the costs of wind and solar energy and battery storage, confidence is growing that our energy future belongs to renewable energy. Joe Romm commented on the significance of a recent article in the Financial Times, The Big Green Bang: how renewable energy became unstoppable. The article’s appearance in this highly credible publication is a sign that the business community, especially in Europe, is recognizing our energy future is with renewable energy. Added support for renewables comes from a statement by the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell declaring that a low carbon economy is a necessity if the firm is to survive and thrive. A transition to renewable energy is well underway – now that such a transition is cost competitive with other energy sources, and the cost of batteries continues to drop. The dramatic drop in battery costs and the ongoing improvements in their performance are major factors contributing to the switch to renewable energy. While a serious effort

by fossil fuel and utility interests to delay the change is underway its effect is seen as slowing but not stopping the clean energy transition. The first quarter of 2017 showed a 17 percent drop in new residential installations as compared to the previous year. According to GTM researcher Julie Ryberg, much of the drop occurred in California, while New York and Massachusetts also showed drops from the previous year. The drop in California is due in part to heavy rains preventing the installation of systems and the fact that firms such as SolarCity and Vintage have reduced their focus on rapid growth and are emphasizing increasing profit margins. The appeal of renewable energy remains strong and its ongoing cost reductions reinforce their appeal to homeowners, business interests and public officials. Some recent Illinois installations include a 5 kW system for a homeowner in Sterling, a 600 kW system on a factory roof in the same area and several new installations on school roofs within the state. As reported earlier farm owners are being approached with lease agreements to have solar farms installed on their

properties. A major interest for us is installing solar systems on suitable roofs in the area. We read with keen interest a recent interview of Lynn Jurich, CEO of Sunrun, by Stephen Lacey. The firm is focused on residential installations. She sees a massive shift occurring toward distributed power based on the cost competitiveness of solar and the ongoing decline in battery costs. An additional appeal of residential solar is the potential of innovators to develop additional services which would appeal to system owners. Although the industry faces some short-term challenges, including bankruptcies, consolidations and resistance from the fossil fuel and utility industries, the outlook over the coming decade remains very appealing. It has advanced to the point that customer demand for the technology could lead to a rapid growth in residential installations similar to the speed at which cell phones gained consumer acceptance.

than gas or coal. “Like New York and Illinois before it, the commonwealth has an opportunity to take a leadership role by implementing a policy solution to preserve its nuclear energy facilities and the clean, reliable energy and good-paying jobs they provide,” Chris Crane, Exelon president and CEO, said in a statement. In December, Illinois approved $235 million a year for Exelon to prop up nuclear plants in the Quad Cities and Clinton, six months after the company threatened to shut them down. Around the U.S., nuclear plants have been hammered by the natural gas boom that has slashed electricity prices in competitive markets. Built during a golden age for nuclear power, Three Mile Island’s Unit 1 went online in 1974 and Unit 2 in 1978, coughing steam into the air above its sliver of land in the Susquehanna River, about 10 miles from Harrisburg. In March 1979, equipment failure and operator errors led to a partial core meltdown of Unit 2, leading to several days of fear and prompting an estimated 144,000 people to flee their homes amid conflicting or ill-informed information from utility and government officials. Scientists worried at one point that a hydrogen bubble forming inside the reactor would explode with catastrophic consequences. Scientists have come to no firm conclusion about the health effects or the amount of radiation released, though government scientists have said the maximum individual dosage was not enough to cause health problems. Regardless, the accident had a powerful effect, undermining support for nuclear power. No nuclear plant that was proposed after the accident has been successfully completed and put into operation. Pennsylvania is the nation’s No. 2 nuclear power state, after Illinois. Decommissioning the plant could take years.

Voices of the Community

Family Video, Marco’s Pizza reward academic excellence Throughout the month of June, students from kindergarten through college can receive a free movie or game rental at Family Video for each final “A” grade they achieve in a core subject on their year-end report card. The company expects to give away over one million movie and game rentals this summer. Additionally, all Family Video affiliated Marco’s Pizza locations will give the “A” student a small 1 topping pizza, one per student. What started over 30 years ago as a simple way to reward local students has now become one of Family Video’s most anticipated programs. Since its launch by company founder, Charles Hoogland, the “Report Card A” program expands to 754 movie and game rental stores and 146 selective Marco’s Pizza restaurants located in 19 states and Canada. Although the scale of the rewards program has grown, its purpose remains the same: celebrate students who put in the time and effort to achieve success in the classroom. Support from the local communities Family Video serves helps make “Report Card A” and other programs successful year after year. “Having kids of my own in school and watching them get excited about receiving an ‘A’ makes me realize how important our “Report Card A” program is. I believe that academic excellence is something to be celebrated,” said Keith Hoogland, Highland Ventures, Ltd. President. “It’s great to be able to give back to local communities and reward students on their success. We look forward to continuing the ‘Report Card A’ program for many years to come.” Giving back to the community has been at the core of the Family Video business. In addition to the Report Card

A program and the hundreds of local charity events, their annual “Round It Up for Lymphoma” campaign has raised over $6 million in the past six years. All proceeds are donated to cancer research and patient education. Thousands of turkeys and hams are also purchased, packaged with meals, gifted to needy families during the holiday season. –Family Video

Burpee inspiration for Roosevelt students

tudents from Roosevelt Alternative High School have been engaged in a yearlong project that uses art to teach the scientific ideas behind human sustainability. After an inspiring tour of the Burpee Natural History Museum, that group of students’ artistic spirit culminated with them creating a large scale mural and other smaller pieces. These works will be featured in a Kortman Gallery exhibit titled “Gray Areas,” opening Friday, June 2nd. “Students with an interest in art and the ability to make deeper connections were chosen to tour the Burpee Museum and find issues related to Earth Science that they were most intrigued by,” says Kyle Wolfe, art instructor at Roosevelt. Inspired by Burpee’s Windows to Wilderness display, this group of young artists quickly began asking questions about how the environment could change if humans continue with the energy and environmental decisions they are currently making. “Eager to express their ideas artistically, the students decided to work together to create a mural,” said art instructor Brian Hierstein. “Each of the

students contributed imagery in their own artistic style in black, white, and gray, resulting in a large, exciting cohesive artwork” Rockford artist Corey Hagberg came to Roosevelt to discuss his experiences as an artist and his time spent working with “En Masse,” a Canadian art collective, during projects in Chicago, Detroit and Florida. He worked with the students to

create a background that would enhance the visual narrative the students were trying to convey. The students sketched and planned several images and then worked together to arrange these ideas into a large scale mural. According to Wolfe, the work represents the students’ opinions on human sustainability and where they see the

world going if we continue with current policies and ideas about climate change. “We are thrilled to show the ‘Gray Areas’ exhibition in the Kortman Gallery allowing this talented group of young artists to share their artistic vision with the general public,” says gallery director Doc Slafkosky. “Four foot sections of the the large mural will be sold, along with other student works, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Burpee Natural History Museum” Participating artists include: Sarahi Alvarado; Seion Barbor; Armon Conner; Javier Flores; Berenice Galvan; Yael Goriono; Ashley Haley; Anthony Hunter; Stefvon Kalepp; Jasmine Knuth; Shiann Kolff; Jonathan Lane;Tyesha Rogers; Jackeline Rosales; Jumanee Smith; and Michael Spiva. Opening reception for the “Gray Areas’ exhibition in the Kortman Gallery will be Friday, 5:30-9 p.m. The exhibit will be on display through June 30. The opening reception is free and open to the public. Kortman Gallery is located upstairs at J. R. Kortman Center for Design, 107 N. Main St. in downtown Rockford.

upporting independent companies because it keeps our money in the community and local merchants in business is a straightforward concept. When it comes to restaurants, the rule still applies, but it is a bit more complex. That’s because unlike the dry goods business, where a button-down oxford dress shirt is a button-down oxford, in the restaurant business, a taco is not a taco no matter where you buy it. But what does Rockford know about tacos? It once voted Taco Bell the best Mexican restaurant in the city. That’s no shock. Taco Bell is cheap, convenient at 2 a.m., and quite frankly, people tend to sway toward chains in silly eatery-ranking polls. It’s retail. Chains versus independent restaurants is an interesting matchup. Corporate boilerplates are managerial bibles, keeping chain menus the same across the board. Frozen fares are trucked around and garnished here and there with sprinkled bits of fresh produce. Then there’s the guest experience. It’s a tossup in this category at times. Chains, however, are capable of same top-notch ambiance and dining experiences. Some can’t be matched by locals so they don’t even try. That is why there will always be a market for Applebee’s – corporate marketing is a real thing and it works. But if we think of the local guys on a smaller scale and break it down to what goes into each operation, there’s evidence of ownership everywhere. That’s right. Local restaurant owners have a stake in wooden spoons, pepper that goes on the blackened salmon and everything in between. This puts them at a level chains simply cannot reach. With most chains, almost everything is the same and remains that way whether it’s a pork tenderloin in Rockford or one served in Detroit. Among locals, everyone has their own identity that far reaches food and drinks. But, the farther removed an owner gets from his restaurant, the flair of ownership can get lost in layers of management. A centralized, yet duplicated system has its merits and can yield big profits. And it’s not only the chains who realize this. Successful independents

The meal is only part of the show at downtown’s Woodfire Brick Oven Pizza. stay small long enough to create distinct brands built on the success of a single flagship. Expanding too soon can be a death knell in disguise. But it doesn’t have to be that way. “We were at City Market for five years before we ever opened a restaurant,” Woodfire Brick Oven Pizza General Manager Phyllis Gallisath said. “Our business has been cultivated organically. And it is an extension of everything that’s on our menu.” Everything on the Woodfire menu is local, too. Ingredients are locally sourced and everything is made in house. It all adds to the brand and experience that, at the end of the day, is about more than pizza. “We want people to feel like they are part of our family when they are dining here,” she said. “It’s upscale but it’s also laid back and casual like you are going to dinner at a family member’s house. A lot of our dishes are meant to be shared that way as well. We want people to feel comfortable.” And it is not that the chains aim to make customers uneasy. But the adage that local independent businesses owners have a lot more expertise also rings true in the restaurant industry. “The service side is very important to our staff,” Gallisath said. “We are not just taking orders. In a lot of places, you’ll see order takers. We really inform our guests about our menu items. We will walk them through the experience instead of just saying, ‘Hi, what can I get for you?’” R. Woodfire Brick Oven Pizza is at 408 E. State St., across from Chase Bank, downtown.

FILM REVIEWS

Wonder Woman ﬁnally a DC ﬁlm that works BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

After showing up in last year’s excruciating Batman v. Superman just long enough to steal the movie and then, unfortunately, give it back to the men, Gal Gadot grabs the Lasso of Truth and the bracelets of inﬁnite resilience to take center stage in Wonder Woman, director Patty Jenkins’ formidable and almost entirely successful bid to make the DC Comics movies a little less lame. I mean, thank Zeus, right? We needed one of these to be good. This has been a lousy spring at the movies. Taking a longer view, we could mention how Wonder Woman metaphorically clobbers any number of previous DC adaptations, including Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, Man of Steel, Watchmen, The Green Lantern and Superman Returns. Until now only the Christopher Nolandirected Batman pictures (and, really, only The Dark Knight back in 2008) have felt like real movies, worth debating or exploring or more than a shrug. Wonder Woman is less distinctive visually, and the performances are more solid than remarkable. But Gadot, who can hold a goddess-like warrior gaze like nobody’s business, leads the way, and Jenkins’ picture is serious fun guided by a sincere belief in the superheroine created in 1941 by William Moulton Marston. “Psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should, I believe, rule the world”: That’s how Marston, recoiling from the cultural impact of Superman and his macho ilk, described Wonder Woman, the Amazonian Princess Diana of Themyscira, golden child of an all-female island paradise protected from the outside world. This is the vacation destination Xena and Gabrielle only dreamed about. Wonder Woman screenwriter Allan Heinberg pulls elements from the original

1940s Marston stories as well as various revisionist updates. Daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), niece of Gen. Antiope (Robin Wright), young Diana trains like a fiend for the day she will confront Ares, God of War and learn the secret of her origin story. Then, out of the sky: no bird, but a plane, going down, piloted by an American spy pursued by German forces. Chris Pine plays Steve Trevor, and he is the first man Gadot’s Diana (and her wary sisters) has ever seen. The time is World War I. Diana and Steve travel to Europe, where the war’s grinding toward a conclusion. First stop: London. Meanwhile, Doctor Poison (Elena Anaya), working for the Germans, is toiling away on a catastrophically deadly nerve gas, and her commander (Danny Huston) becomes Hulk-like in his strength when he whi�s a special evil inhalant. The God of War makes an appearance, as well, as does a tremendous amount of balletic slow-motion combat, rendered with more zip and invention than usual. Like the first Captain America movie over in the Marvel Comics universe, DC’s Wonder Woman o�ers the pleasures of period re-creation for a popular audience. Jenkins and her design team make 1918-era London; war-torn Belgium; the Ottoman Empire; and other locales look freshly realized, with a strong point of view. There are scenes here of dispossessed war refugees, witnessed by an astonished and heartbroken Diana, that carry unusual gravity for a comic book adaptation. Thing is, it’s routine these days for a superhero movie to make the audience su�er. In Wonder Woman, the real-world wartime horrors are used sparingly but e�ectively. The human su�ering is astutely judged, smartly dramatized and spiced with flavorsome characterizations in the supporting ranks. Pine’s intrepid

Baywatch a comedy of failures BY THOMAS SIMPSON CONTRIBUTOR

It’s di�cult and not unfair to compare Baywatch to 21 Jump Street. Both feature ﬁlm adaptations have decided to play them as straight up comedies, self-aware of the silliness of its source material. It’s also safe to say had it not been for the success of 21 Jump Street then Baywatch would have unlikely went down this road. There are glaring discrepancies between the two ﬁlms, however, the most obvious one being that while 21 Jump Street is often hilarious, Baywatch is mildly amusing at best. The opening credits promise a gratuitously over the top premise as

Mitch Buchanan (Dwayne Johnson) is seen saving the day complete with a humorous title sequence. What follows is a ﬁlm that lacks edge and believes that its forced F-bombs are enough to make it provocative. The plot itself is so threadbare that it would struggle to make the pitch for an episode of the TV show; instead, it ﬁnds itself painfully stretched out over two hours. The cast – also including Zac E�ron, and Priyanka Chopra – are talented with great comic timing, but the material they’re working with is so weak that they struggle to inject any humor into the terrible jokes they’ve been given. There are a few comical moments that

Yank gathers together his loyal gang of mercenaries in his bid, and Diana’s, to destroy the German nerve gas experiment. Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting) is the shell-shocked Scottish sniper, Charlie; Said Taghmaoui plays Sameer, a would-be actor; Eugene Brave Rock portrays Chief, the Native American making a mournful profit o� the conflict at hand. It’s a disarming collection of outsiders. Gadot’s sleek, superhumanly skillful fighting machine is very much a part of the group, but eternally outside it. She’s trying to figure out the vicious depths and redeeming characteristics of this strange human race as she goes. Where she goes, and where Wonder Woman inevitably follows, turns director Jenkins’ movie into a more routine one in its final half-hour. Like so many DC and Marvel movies before it, this one comes down to two superbeings throwing a bunch of heavy metal at each other’s heads for a little too long. Elsewhere, though, Jenkins shows an equally deft hand with action and with the more human-scale moments (there’s an especially nice dance in a town square between Gadot and Pine). The director of Wonder Woman had to wait 14 years between big-screen projects; her last film was Monster, for which Charlize Theron won an Oscar, back in 2003. That says it all when it comes to the odds against women in the film industry. Her movie is no reinvention of a formula; it’s simply a much better than usual iteration. And yes, it’s about time a woman directed one of these movies, just as it’s about time one of these movies was actually ABOUT A WOMAN. For the first time in a long time, I came out of a DC comic book movie feeling ready for a sequel. It feels right, at this actual historical moment, when men made of something less than steel are bumbling around trying to run things. Paging Paradise Island!

appear to be squeezed into the first act as the film plays up to its action/thriller side as proceedings unravel. Unfortunately, the action isn’t thrilling, the set pieces are dull providing little if any excitement. Baywatch feels like a huge missed opportunity. What could have been a shameless tongue in cheek comedy decides to play it safe. It’s afraid to push the envelope and would rather make sophomoric jokes in hushed titters, like a child that’s finds swearing by itself funny. The scriptwriters dance around jokes, afraid to cause too much o�ense for the most part when they should have been going for the jugular. The odd joke does seem a little close to the bone yet it neither shocks or evokes a laugh. Not that it’s totally devoid of laughs. The cast has a good chemistry with Johnson and E�ron trading barbs at

602 N Madison St each other with the latter’s cocky Matt Brody coming o� the worst. The best joke in the whole movie is from Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the local cop that has to remind Mitch what it is a lifeguard should be doing. It’s a lovely jab at the show but these playful pot-shots are few and far between as Baywatch looks to stand on its own as a comedy. And fails. The ﬁlmmakers throw in a couple of nostalgic cameos to placate older fans but don’t worry about these being spoiled for you, the names are credited in the opening titles. It isn’t enough to save Baywatch, which spends most of the ﬁlm drowning while the lifeguards stand around patting each other on the back for a job well down. It’s clear the cast are having fun; it’s a shame they’re the only ones. R. On Twitter: @Simmy41.

RACVB VIEW

5 local places to grab a mouthwatering burger 4. GreenFire Restaurant, Bar & Bakery

BY SARAI GUERRERO RACVB

The burger is most commonly known as the staple of any American BBQ. If you’re boring like me then just adding cheese to your burger is enough deliciousness, but I guess you could say the beauty of a burger is the hundreds of options and creations you could come up with! The burger even has its own national holiday…so in honor of National Hamburger day last weekend, I thought it would be fun to highlight 5 local places where you’re sure to ﬁnd unique creations in celebration of this day! Apologizing in advance for how hungry you’re about to get.

Another one of a kind local eatery. The unique menu o�ers delicious, natural and fresh options, and you can enjoy your meal in a modern restaurant atmosphere. Try the Cajun Shrimp & Beef, a grass fed beef burger, topped with shrimp, bacon, avocado, yellow cheddar, and creole aioli (a mayo mustard mix).

5. Backyard Bar & Grill

With two locations, one in Loves Park, and the other in Roscoe, Backyard is sure to not disappoint! A diverse menu with over 15 burger creations, try the Backyard burger, topped with onion rings, this class burger includes tangy BBQ sauce, bacon, and American cheese! After writing this, I was challenged to step out of the boring lifestyle I live with always sticking with just cheese on a hamburger, and adventure into trying more of these incredible creations! I’m apologizing again for how hungry you probably got, but now with that hunger go take yourself to one of these local restaurants (or all of them!) and celebrate national hamburger day this holiday weekend! Discover more delicious burger joints at gorockford.com/restaurants.

1. 15th and Chris

Amazing creations you surely won’t ﬁnd anywhere else in the area. And the fries, so so good! The story and heart behind 15th and Chris comes with the community of Rockford in mind. Try the PB&J burger, a beef patty topped with a nutty Asian slaw, crispy wontons and jalapeno pepper jelly. A creation, again, you won’t ﬁnd anywhere else.

2. Vintage@501

Right in the heart of Downtown Rockford, Vintage 501 serves some of the Rockford areas favorite dishes, but also some of the greatest burgers you could ever taste! Vintage o�ers a vibrant environment with local customers in mind. Try the 50/50, Pretzel bun - Half beef, half bacon, topped with cheddar cheese, sriracha, and an egg!

Sarai Guerrero is a marketing intern for the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. Check out her blog posts at gorockford.com/blog.

3. Buddy’s Burgers

A local favorite o�ering new specials each week! So many di�erent creation! Try the Big Buddy Hamburger, 2 beef patties, American cheese, lettuce, pickle, raw onion and 1,000 island dressing! Your taste buds will thank you!

It’s safe to come out now, Taurus. On Friday all eyes are on you. A lucky break arrives within the workforce, Cancer.

Leo

Be conscious of a mischievous family member who may be influencing the peace and harmony of your humble abode and set some boundaries. Go within during this lunar cycle and figure out who you are and what you hope to accomplish regarding your long-term goals. Opportunities are arriving for future growth and development shortly.

Capricorn

You may be experiencing some regret regarding a recent decision you’ve made. However, you need to get your feet wet first with this before you run in the other direction. Once you see the doors are opening there is no reason not to walk right through them. Romance becomes a focus this week as well; passion begins to kick up a notch or two, Capricorn.

Aquarius

Romance is not necessarily a substitute for all of the responsibilities you’ve had on your plate recently. However, it is a start anyway. If you can allow someone else to let you feel good or respect you then it becomes easier to respect yourself. There is no more room for self punishment in your life; delete it, Aquarius.

Pisces

Finances are improving during this lunar cycle, therefore you can sock some money away for a rainy day. You’re tying up loose ends and you’re able to enjoy some free time shortly. Take some time away to regroup and heal your overworked mind and body. You don’t have to alienate yourself in order to keep in check. You can balance your priorities, time and energy with ease now, Pisces.. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

VOICES FROM THE GRAVE

Rockford’s Boys of ‘76 BY KATHI KRESOL

CONTRIBUTOR

innebago County is blessed by many men and women who have dedicated their lives by serving in our Armed Forces. These men and women who sacrificed so much are recognized and honored all year in our county at di�erent events. Some of these events have been recorded in the local newspapers for generations. One article written in the Rockford Morning Star paper in February of 1930 spoke of three men with the label “The Boys of ‘76”. These men all served in the Revolutionary War and moved to Winnebago County later in their lives. Jehial Harmon was born in Su�eld, Connecticut, Oct. 5, 1762. He was only twelve years old in April of 1775 when the Battle of Lexington occurred. Though Jehial expressed his desire to go to war and fight with his older brother, his parents thought he was too young. They finally relented in 1779, when Jehial turned sixteen. His brother was ill and was forced to leave the service. Jehial stepped up to replace his brother and from all accounts fought bravely. He

LOCAL HISTORY

Rockford’s founding years

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 to 1855 and the visit of the state’s preeminent legal mind, Abraham Lincoln.

survived the war and married Betsy West. Jehial moved to Rockford in 1844 when some of his children came to the “west” to settle and start families of their own. Jehial died here in Rockford on March 3, 1845 and was buried at Greenwood Cemetery. Samuel Campbell, another of the Boys of ‘76, is buried in the Hulse Cemetery near Pecatonica. He was born in Massachusetts in 1762. Samuel served just over three months in the war but was highly thought of by his commander. He married Grace Plum in 1793. The couple had ten children and decided to move to Illinois, choosing Winnebago County. Samuel passed away on November 8, 1844. The third man, Ephriam Palmer had a military career that was easier to trace than the other two. He was born on December 17, 1760 and enlisted in the army in Massachusetts in 1777. Ephriam was captured by the British forces and taken prisoner in June of 1779. He was sent to New York and held in an old sugar house until 1780. An article written by Brooklyn College Professor Edwin Burrows, “The Prisoners of New York,” o�ers a glimpse into the conditions that Ephriam would have su�ered as a pris-

oner of this war. According to Burrows, the Tories would line the streets as the prisoners were marched to these sugar houses. The crowd would yell and throw stones at the men as they shu�ed toward their fate. The prisons were dark, airless quarters and the men who numbered between 4-500, were forced to face conditions that were described as horrendous. There was little space, no adequate clothing, and very little food. Disease ran rampant and as many as eighteen thousand men died in these prison camps. It was a miracle that young Ephriam survived. Ephriam was freed during a prisoner exchange and returned to his service. In 1780, he was given the task of guarding the infamous Major Andre during his conﬁnement. Major Andre was a British o�cer in charge of the Secret Service. He conspired with Benedict Arnold, was captured and held prisoner in Tappan, New York. Major Andre was actually admired by the members of the Continental Army and became friends with many of his captors. Andre showed great courage when he was hanged on October 2, 1780. The executioner was preparing Andre by placing the blindfold over Andre’s eyes

and the noose around his neck when he faltered and could not continue. Andre bravely placed the noose around his own neck. This act gained him the respect of every man gathered to watch the execution. After the war, Ephriam married Margaret Force in 1786. The couple settled in the east and had three children. Margaret died in 1809 and Ephriam moved his family west finally settling in Harlem, Illinois. He was 92 when he died in 1852 and was buried in the Kishwaukee Cemetery. All three men’s graves have been remembered for their service to our country with assistance from the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is a humbling experience to visit their graves and remember these men who were mere boys when they picked up their guns and joined the fight for our independence. R. Kathi Kresol is a local author and historian who has researched Rockford’s past for over a decade. She o�ers historical and paranormal tours throughout the year.

FARM & AG

Growing sweet potatoes BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

If you have not planted your sweet potatoes, it’s not too late. In fact, you are right on time. Sweet potatoes thrive in hot conditions and usually do quite well planted the first week of June. By planting next week, you can expect to harvest your sweet potatoes mid-September. Sweet potatoes belong to the morning glory family and have long, trailing vines that quickly cover the soil surface. There are bush varieties available if you are tight on space. The most common type of sweet potatoes are those with the orange flesh although you can find both yellow and white ones available. Yam and sweet potato are in di�erent plant families though you would not know this based on how often the word yam is used in grocery stores. A true yam grows in the tropics. North Carolina grows the most sweet potatoes in the United States; and many of these southern varieties do well for us in this region. Beauregard, Jewell and Centennial are recommended varieties for Northern Illinois. Your harvest window for all of these is between 100-110 days.

You will purchase your sweet potatoes as “slips”. Slips are planted at 12-18 inches apart in a bed with at least 8 inches of soil depth. Black plastic can increase soil temperatures, which leads to better yields. I have had great success with growing sweet potatoes under black plastic. Allow 3-4 feet between rows for vines to spread. In general, sweet potatoes do not have major issues compared to other vegetables. If we have a rainy season, we may see decline in yields and overall development of the sweet potatoes. Because of the vining characteristic, weeds are not a problem. In mid-September, you will harvest your sweet potatoes by digging up the sides of the bed, being careful to not cut into the sweet potatoes. Curing will be your next step after harvest. This process is done in fall where the roots are laid out for 2-3 hours than placed in a room around 85F for 10-14 days then stored. R.

Chronology of a sideways corn market BY DEBRA LEVEY LARSON U OF I NEWS BUREAU

URBANA – Expectations for the magnitude of supply, consumption, and ending stocks for the 2017-18 U.S. corn marketing year have remained remarkably stable for the past several months. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, as a result, futures prices for the 2017-18 marketing year have remained in a narrow range. “At the Outlook Forum in late February, the USDA projected that the 2017 crop would be more than a billion bushels smaller than the 2016 crop resulting from a reduction in acreage and a return to trend yield,” Good says. “Consumption during the upcoming marketing year was projected to be smaller than during the current year, mainly as a result of smaller exports stemming from the much larger 2017 South American crop. Year-ending stocks were projected to decline only marginally from the level of ending stocks projected for the current year. December 2017 corn futures were trading near $3.90 at the time those projections. The price of that contract varied between $3.80 and $4.04 leading up to the USDA’s release of the Prospective Plantings report on March 31.” The Prospective Plantings report confirmed producer intentions to reduce corn acreage by about 4 million acres in 2017. The price of December futures varied between $3.80 and $3.96 following the release of that report and leading up to the USDA’s release of the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report on May 10. That report contained the first USDA projections of supply and consumption for the 2017-18 marketing year since the Outlook Forum in February. The projections in the WASDE report were very similar to those made in February. The supply forecast was slightly smaller, reflecting prospects for slightly smaller stocks of old-crop corn at the beginning of the marketing year. The projection of feed and residual use and exports were each 25 million bushels smaller than the February projections, but the projection of domestic food and industrial uses was 130 million bushels larger than the February projection. Stocks at the end of the 2017-18 marketing year were projected at 2.11 billion bushels, 105 million bushels smaller than the February projection and 185 million bushels smaller than the projection of stocks at the end of the current marketing year. Since the release of that report, Good says the price of December futures has

varied between $3.82 and $3.95. “The very narrow range for corn prices over the past three weeks occurred even with areas of excessive rainfall that delayed planting and has required or will require some replanting,” Good says. “In spite of the delays, planting and emergence progress as of May 21 was very near the average of the past five years and the percentage of the crop planted after May 20 was very near the average since 1986. Initial crop ratings in some of the wetter areas, however, were much lower than normal. With December corn futures now near the low end of the range experienced over the past eight months, the market is clearly not reflecting much concern about the spotty start to the 2017 growing season.” According to Good, there are likely a number of reasons that the corn market still expects U.S. corn production to be near the 14.1 billion bushels suggested by planting intentions and trend yield: First, planting delays may not have been extensive enough to result in reduced corn acreage due to abandonment, prevented planting, or a switch to soybeans. Second, it is generally recognized that corn yields are mostly influenced by summer weather, not spring weather, and that dry weather represents more threat to yields than wet weather. Third, the recent pattern of U.S. corn yields likely instills confidence of at least a trend yield in 2017. Yields have been at or above the linear trend value in each of the past four years, 12 of the past 14 years, and 17 of the past 21 years. Over that period, the U.S. average yield was below trend value only in 1995, 2002, 2010, and 2012. Yield was substantially below trend only in the drought year of 2012, and 2017 weather conditions are clearly not similar to those of 2012. “More insight about supply prospects for the 2017-18 marketing year will be provided by the USDA’s June 30 Acreage report.” Good says. “However, as in most years, unknown summer weather holds the key to price direction for the 2017-18 marketing year and beyond. Current prices for that marketing year are near the low end of prices experienced over the past eight months and likely reflect expectations of at least a trend yield in 2017. In addition, the price of December futures is below the February projected price for federally sponsored crop insurance products. With the critical part of the growing season yet to come, some continued patience in pricing the 2017 crop still seems prudent.”

Rivets ready for home opener, Thursday By Bill Czaja

For The Rock River Times

Upsets in several NCAA conference tournaments have created a unique challenge for the Rockford Rivets in the opening week of their second season in the Northwoods League. Automatic NCAA regional berths awarded to the winners of conference tournaments meant surprising title runs by several schools, including Iowa in the Big Ten Conference and Ohio in the Mid-American Conference, have made numerous players unavailable to the Rivets until the Cinderella stories play out one way or another. That meant the Rivets opened the season Tuesday night at Kalamazoo with 20 players, rather than the league limit of 30. The situation won’t be resolved by the time the Rivets play the Wisconsin Woodchucks at 6:35 p.m. Thursday in their home opener at Rivets Stadium. Just among the Rivets who hail from Division I schools, regional appearances by seven schools – Iowa and Indiana from the Big Ten, Ohio from the MAC, Illinois-Chicago from the Horizon and regional hosts Texas Tech, Arkansas and Louisiana State – have made one-third of the roster unavailable at the start of the season, including returning second baseman David Cronin. Cronin, the top returning Rivets hitter, has batted .320 so far for UIC, which was the Horizon tournament’s top-seeded team. The Rivets’ top returning pitcher is with the team, and will get the start on Friday against the Woodchucks. Arkansas righthander Anthony Dahl was an injury redshirt this spring, but is healthy and, after this summer, will still have three years of eligibility with the Razorbacks, a perennial national-title contender. Given the level of his program, Dahl saw little use as a freshman last spring, but came to Rockford for the Northwoods League season and thrived. Dahl was 2-1 with two saves and a 1.18 ERA in 11 appearances, two as a starter. He struck out 41 and

walked 11 in 38 innings. Also returning is a player of interest to Stateline high-school fans. Jack Granath, who redshirted this year at Davenport (Mich.) University, is a Hononegah High School alumnus. He made two starts for the Rivets last year and was 1-1 with a 3.55 ERA. While the roster might be a bit light early on, the Rivets’ promotional schedule is packed. Thursday’s home opener is the first of the weekly Thirsty Thursday drink specials. On Friday, Dental Dimensions sponsors the first of the Rivets’ five fireworks shows. AleFest (extra admission), featuring a selection of dozens of craft brews, will be at the stadium on Saturday. The homestand ends on Sunday with the first Bark In the Park. Pet parents are invited to bring their well-behaved pooch to the park. Also on the promotional schedule are Ben Zobrist and Fred Van Vleet bobbleheads, laser light shows and an unbeatable deal on a four-game mini-plan. Fans can get a infield box seat for each of four games, all-you-can-consume grilled chicken, burgers, dogs, brats, popcorn and fountain soft drinks for just $50. And while supplies last, the Rivets will even include a replica team jersey in the Pub 815 4-Game Pack ($135 value). For more information on Rivets promotions and tickets, call 815-2404159 or visit RockfordRivets.com. Alumni report: Texas Tech outfielder Hunter Hargrove, who joined the Rivets after the Red Raiders’ College World Series run last year, was named the 2017 Big 12 Conference Co-Player of the Year last week. Hargrove was batting .347 at the time and among the league leaders in average, hits and doubles. Northwoods League players must have remaining college eligibility, so Hargrove won’t be back in Rockford, where he hit .306 with eight home runs and a team-high 36 RBI in just 42 games last summer. R. Bill Czaja is the Assistant General Manager of the Rockford Rivets.

Frank Deford. 1938-2017

Master of his craft By Roy Peter Clark

F Poynter

rank Deford was to sports writing what Secretariat was to horseracing, what Babe Ruth was to baseball, what Michael Jordan was to basketball, what Ali was to boxing, what Pele was to soccer: the undisputed master of his craft. There were contenders, to be sure, among the ink-stained wretches of the last half-century. Red Smith, W.C. Heinz and Dick Schaap could match Deford on any given day. But for longevity, consistency, versatility, reporting, storytelling and word craft, Deford was hard to beat. I met him twice in the flesh: at a reception at Poynter after he had delivered a talk at a local college and again at a book festival in Tucson. He had a physical presence and demeanor that I found

<<< From Back Cover And if he can have a say in what those things will be for the next generation, VanVleet is all in. “I am in the position where I have these opportunities to put something together. The (UW Health Sports Factory) wasn’t here last year, so we now have these outlets right here in our hometown and it’s great. I can’t stress enough how proud I am about what we are going to do.” While his camp is about basketball, VanVleet’s message is multi-pronged. He knows the amount of work it takes to get where the game has taken him and that it is the same work ethic that got him through early morning workouts with

curious and compelling. Gangly would define him. He was quite tall, with wide bony shoulders and arms so long they seemed to stretch to his knees. Match those features to his slicked-back hair, pencil-thin mustache and snappy outfits and the effect was of a kid who might have played basketball at Princeton in the fifties and then decided to become a private detective. I featured Deford in my book How to Write Short: Word Craft for Fast Times. That might surprise readers who knew Deford primarily as a book author and long-form writer for Sports Illustrated. But he was also famous for his pointed public radio essays on All Things Considered. He could write long or short; fast or slow; fiction, nonfiction, or memoir. He wrote for newspapers, magazines, radio, television and books. No matter the topic, length or media

his brothers and stepfather growing up. It’s the same mindset required in every area of life. “Basketball is what I know, so it’s the way that I am going to provide an outlet to the kids. It’s about opportunity. We have to create opportunities. I am here and I am a basketball player, so I hope I can help them in that way.” The FVV Summer Camp kicks off Friday, June 23, with Fan Fest, followed by two days of basketball for kids K-12. Both events are at the UW Health Sports Factory, 305 S. Madison St., downtown. Registration is available at gorockford. com/events/fredvanvleet. R. jim.hagerty@rockrivertimes.com

Deford working at the Time Life Building, New York, 1973. Lane Stewart, Sports Illustrated platform, his work had a quality essential to good writing in any genre. He had focus. If you want to write with focus, you can do nothing better than to read the work of Frank Deford. Here’s how I put it in How to Write Short: Even when we read long works, we can still read for focus. While the big parts need a focus, so do the smaller parts: sections chapters, vignettes, anecdotes, paragraphs. Frank Deford, one of America’s most popular and versatile writers, knows about focus. In this paragraph he homes in on the practical economics in the year 1898, as exemplified by the Uneeda company’s charging five cents for a package of crackers: Uneeda knew pricing. The nickel was king in America at this time. It was so common a currency that the dime was, often as not, called a “double nickel.” You didn’t want to get stuck with a wooden nickel. The ultimate depth of worthlessness was a plugged nickel. What this country needed was a good five-cent cigar. At a time when laborers in New York made twenty cents an hour and a good meal would set you back fifteen cents, you could go into a saloon and, for a nickel, get a stein of beer and free bread, salami, pickled herring, and hard-boiled eggs for the asking. “Barkeep, I’ll have another beer.” When the subway opened up, naturally a ride was pegged at a nickel. This was the same as for streetcars, which particularly crisscrossed Brooklyn, so the players had to be nimble to negotiate streets to reach the ballpark: hence, the borough’s team of Trolly Dodgers. The new movies not only charged a nickel, but were not called what they were, but what they cost: nickelodeons. A cuppa coffee cost a nickel. So did a soft drink. “A Moxie, please.” “Sure thing, mister, that’ll be a nickel.” Ice cream was a nickel. Likewise a Tootsie Roll.

This single paragraph from the book The Old Ball Game stretches to 207 words, which, as a set piece, falls within our standards for short writing. I don’t want to define focus in the way a Supreme Court justice once defined obscenity: “I know it when I see it.” When I saw this paragraph for the first time, I knew it was focused. I could see, speak, and hear the feeling that all the parts of this paragraph were working in concert and that the author know the one thing he wanted to say and then marshaled the evidence to support it. The first sentence, “Uneeda knew pricing,” serves as a transition from the previous sentence about the cost of a package of crackers. It is the next sentence that expresses the key point: “the nickel was king in America at this time.” Take out the prepositional phrases, and you get the focus in four words: “The nickel was king.” Prove it! says the reader to herself. Show me! And he does. I count eleven examples that coronate the currency, the first three embedded in familiar idioms of the day, and the next seven an inventory of things that cost five cents: a cigar, a beer, a movie, the subway, coffee, soda, ice cream, and candy. The passage is nailed tight with repetitions of the word nickel — 10 in all. If the nickel was king of coins back in the day, Deford was king of sports writers – and a gentleman to boot. Upon our second meeting in Tucson, we conducted a writing workshop, along with author Jonathan Eig, at the Arizona Daily Star. Afterwards, I told him that my daughter Alison in Atlanta was an admirer of his weekly essays on NPR. “I’m not always that interested in particular sports,” she once told me, “but he makes things so interesting and comprehensible.” Standing next to Deford, I dialed her number. “Alison,” I said, “there is someone here who wants to say hello to you.” “Hello, Alison, this is Frank Deford.” From five feet away, I could hear her squeal of delight.

VanVleet hopes to spur opportunity in Rockford By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD – It was life in a larger city for Fred VanVleet when basketball took him from Rockford to Wichita, Kansas back in 2012. When he pulled into Toronto four years later to suit up for the Raptors, VanVleet knew he wasn’t in Kansas, or Rockford, or something like that, anymore. With a population of 382,000, Wichita is twice the size of Rockford proper, but it’s no Chicago – or Toronto. But Fred was in town to play Division I basketball, which meant he’d see lot of the country in his four years with the Shockers. On the other hand, he was like most young people away from the sanctum of familiarity for the first time. As it played out, VanVleet is not most young people. He’s among the .03 percent of high school players who make it to the NBA. So, basketball did, in fact, take him far from the NIC-10, where he earned All-State honors and led Auburn to a third-place finish in one of the most storied state high school tournaments in the nation. Exactly a year later, VanVleet was the

hot-handed freshman the big stage hadn’t heard of until Wichita State raced through the brackets to its first Final Four in 48 years. It was clear. He made it out. But that’s not to say he escaped. He dreamed of playing at the next level, and the level after that, since he took his first shot, which meant leaving if he truly wanted to make it. Armed with what he learned at home and the gyms and classrooms of RPS 205, Fred VanVleet was ready to face the next challenge. “Once you go somewhere else, it’s like a breath of fresh air to expand what you think you know,” VanVleet said. VanVleet led Wichita State to a 31-0 regular season record his sophomore year, was the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year twice, earned AP All-America honorable mention three times and finished as the school’s career assists leader. Although he went undrafted, it wasn’t because nobody wanted him. He passed up draft offers but the interested teams proposed sending him to the D-League for $26,000 per year with no clear path to the NBA.

Instead, he opted to test the free agent market to showcase his talent in the NBA Summer League. It turned out to be the right decision. VanVleet signed with Toronto a day after the draft, had a strong summer showing, inked a multi-year deal with the club and became the first Rockford product to make an NBA opening-night roster. So, what’s it like coming back with his rookie season under his belt? Since he has always been someone who’s given back, he is somewhat used to it. Even while playing for Bryan Ott at Auburn, he’d make time to mentor young players. However, his upcoming FVV Summer Camp & Fan Fest is his first major event since becoming the Rockford Area Convention & Visitor Bureau’s first official sports ambassador. And with that distinction, this one is special, and there will surely be more. As he becomes more of a fixture in Toronto, there will be chances to get involved there. But it is Rockford he can’t seem to shake. Although the city is on the rise, it has seen its share of troubles since VanVleet left for Wichita. Rockford averaged 20

homicides per year during his collegiate career and even more armed robberies and home invasions. When he left, there were only nine killings. Sadly, VanVleet is no stranger to any of that. When he was 5, his father was gunned down in a botched drug deal. Yet it doesn’t change how he looks at the city. It’s not like he doesn’t notice the blight. He does. Overgrown parking lots of a silenced industrial din still mark familiar brownfields, but when VanVleet drives through town he thinks of more than that. It’s even more than basketball at times. Rockford is one thing for him: home. What he took from here allowed him to put things in perspective at Wichita State and soak up life in Canada’s largest city without forgetting about anything along the way. “Rockford’s got that small-town vibe to it, so being in the city with skyscrapers, traffic and millions of people, I enjoyed it,” he said. “There’s just something about this place. Rockford has a lot of people who can do great things.” Continued on Page 39 >>>
