City

Council considers more Mercy fee cuts Mercy’s planned $505 million hospital project on East Riverside Blvd. is up for debate in City Council again over $200,000 in constructionrelated fees.

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

CITY HALL — Construction plans of the Mercyhealth Women and Children’s Hospital were again brought in front of leaders Monday, as Rockford aldermen delayed a vote on the health care network’s request for a waiver of fees connected to the project at the June 5 meeting of the Rockford City Council. The hospital wants a waiver on $200,000 in fees associated with inspections and infrastructure improvements surrounding the $505 million hospital project. Instead, aldermen laid over the matter for two weeks without discussing it in detail. The council has already agreed to cut the cost of the $1.8 million building permit in half. The fees up for a current vote are not part of the permitting process, but officials wanted the fees pushed underneath the initial $900,000 cap. Doing so has some alderman concerned about a number of concessions the city gives to private developments in a time when Rockford is looking at a spending gap of $6.5 million. Democratic Fifth Ward Alderman Venita Hervey is among leaders who want to stand firm on the fees, telling reporters Monday

taxpayers are on the hook every time the city waives these dollar amounts. “Every penny we give comes from taxpayers,” she said. “It’s not my personal money. We have to make sure we are being prudent.” Seventh Ward Democrat Ann ThompsonKelly said she would not support the waiver because of taxpayer burden, adding that a $200,000 inspection fee on a half-billion-dollar deal is not a deal breaker for Mercy. “This will not interfere with the construction of this hospital, nor is it going to interfere with their future plans,” she said. “I won’t be supporting this because I don’t fee we can afford (it).”

Thompson-Kelly said Mercyhealth’s Javon Bea, in conversations she’s had with the company’s CEO, told her the hospital was not leaning on the city for the concession, and she is taking him at his word. Bea could not be reached for comment at press time. The cost of the initial building permit was a major point of contention last year when Mercy threatened to nix the plan and build the new medical center across the border in Wisconsin if Rockford didn’t acquiesce to a reduction. City staff rejected the cut, citing a need to realign Rockford’s emergency response system to make way for the 262-acre hospital.

After a back-and-forth between Bea and then-Mayor Larry Morrissey, the hospital got its way. Aldermen voted 12-1 in March 2016 to cut the fee to $900,000. Hervey was the lone “no” vote, citing the same reason she voiced Monday. Aldermen who supported said the long-term economic impact of the hospital outweighs the cost. Chad Tuneberg, R-3, said he wants to settle the matter to avoid sending a message to other companies looking at Rockford that doing business here is difficult. Talks are expected to resume at the June 19 council meeting. In other city business, aldermen approved a proposal to demolish 31 blighted properties throughout Rockford and signed off on the liquor license for Thai Sisters Cafe at 514 E. State St. The council laid over a request to reduce a property violation fee to $500 on a building being purchased by Zenith Cutter at 1801 17th Ave. The Rockford City Council meets on the first and third Monday of every month. Council committee meetings are held on the second and fourth Monday at City Hall. R. jim.hagerty@rockrivertimes.com

River Edge credit renewal sits on governor’s desk By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — A bill to extend the River Edge historic tax credit program through 2022 now sits on Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desk. The extension passed the Illinois House May 31 with a vote of 101-12. Five representatives abstained. The measure previously passed the Senate unanimously. Supporters say River Edge credits have helped generate more than $125 million in private investment across town, mostly buildings on the stretch of State Street from City Hall to the upcoming Amerock Embassy Suites. The program is aimed to spark renovation in Illinois’ River Edge Redevelopment Zones, areas adjacent to rivers in Aurora, East St. Louis, Elgin, Peoria and Rockford. It provides a number of sales tax exemptions and property tax relief, including the River Edge Environmental Remediation Tax Credit, which pays 25 cents on the dollar for non-reimbursed remediation expenses. Developers can also utilize deductions for income earned, interest and sales taxes on building materials. Rauner extended River Edge for one year last December, but its future was still somewhat uncertain, making projects like

Amerock, where tax credits are slated for a significant portion of the capital stack, a bit tricky. Gorman & Company already had millions into the project and earlier this year the developer asked the city to redo its agreement to turn the building into a skyrise hotel. The company paid $250,000 for the property and hundreds of thousands more in planning and remediation. And when he begins turning dirt later this year, CEO Gary Gorman said those costs will increase even more, making the tax credits especially handy during the two-year construction period. “The tax credits are based on dollars expended in a calendar year,” Gorman said. Wisconsin-based Gorman is not the only developer to utilize the program in Rockford. River Edge credits have already been applied to several downtown buildings. The renovation of the Rockford Trust Building into 62 upscale apartments now known as the Burnham Lofts by developer Urban Equity Properties included more than $2 million in tax credits. Urban Equity has also used River Edge on mixed-used projects on the east side of the Rock River and in the Midtown District.

And the $12 million Prairie Street Brewhouse, now a staple downtown attraction, utilized credits of about $800,000, much of that thanks to the efforts of architect Gary Anderson, who has been a keen proponent of the credits. “The extension is critically important to our community,” Mayor Tom McNamara said. “I greatly appreciate the work our local delegation put forth to secure a longterm commitment to River Edge. The new extension will allow developers to create and plan new projects that may not be feasible without such an extension.” State Rep. Litesa Wallace, D-Rockford, helped champion t he prog ram in Springfield and urged fellow lawmakers to see the importance in cities on the rebound, fighting to provide jobs and create sustainable development. “This tax credit has been crucial in creating jobs and attracting investment for downtown Rockford,” Wallace said. “I thank local advocates, Rockford officials and my fellow legislators who worked hard to keep this economic generator for our community and our state.” The River Edge credits had become a political football of sorts in Springfield, with many concerned that an extension

of the package could become a casualty of the ongoing budget proposal. But State Sen. Steve Stadelman, another Rockford Democrat, worked to see the bill through to Rauner’s desk. “The tax credit has already incentivized hundreds of millions of dollars of development in Rockford alone,” Stadelman said last week. “This will help put crumbling infrastructure back to use, grow the economy and increase revenue.” Aurora was one the first to create a River Edge zone and undertake a number of flagship projects, such as a $24 million redevelopment of a vacant senior living center and other blighted downtown buildings. Like Rockford, Aurora property owners are sometimes caught in difficult situations when they are unable to recoup construction costs with rental income. Tax credits help ease those disadvantages in towns trying to compete with those with already favorable economic landscapes. In downtown Elgin, River Edge credits are being applied to the $16.6 million renovation of the historic 15-story Tower Building into 45 upscale apartments. The redo of the former bank is expected to be done this fall. R.

Trump-Russia

Flynn turns over docs to Senate intel panel By Mary Clare Jalonick, Deb Riechmann & Chad Day Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn turned over about 600 pages of documents Tuesday to the Senate intelligence committee as part of its investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election, according to a congressional aide. The aide said the committee’s investigators immediately began reviewing the information to determine the extent of what Flynn provided. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the committee’s sensitive work. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, confirmed the panel had received documents from Flynn, but declined to characterize the material or say how many pages had been received. “We can’t make any judgment on whether he’s fully complied because we’ve got to review the documents,” Warner said. The documents came as Homeland

Security Secretary John Kelly indicated that President Donald Trump’s son-inlaw and top adviser Jared Kushner and his communications with Russia are part of a wide-ranging probe by the Justice Department’s special counsel. Meanwhile, a Democratic lawmaker called on a top Justice Department official to clarify the scope of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Flynn had previously invoked his Fifth Amendment protection from self-incrimination in rebuffing an earlier subpoena from the committee. After the panel narrowed the scope of that subpoena and issued additional ones for records from two of his businesses, Flynn agreed to turn over some documents. On Tuesday, committee chairman Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., said the panel sought Flynn’s business records — including travel, expense and phone records — to determine whether those records “would give us insight as to where he was when he was, what reimbursements he received, what expenses he might have had.”

Burr said it was still possible Flynn may turn over more records. He noted the committee is still working with Flynn to see if he will agree to be interviewed as part of the panel’s probe. In addition to the Senate panel, Flynn is under investigation by other congressional committees as well the special counsel over his contacts with Russia. Among those contacts under scrutiny is a December meeting between Flynn, Kushner and Sergey Kislyak, Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. On Tuesday, Kelly defended Kushner at a Senate hearing amid reports that he attempted to establish “back-channel” communication between Russia and Trump’s presidential transition team. Kelly said back-channel talks have been common in U.S. diplomacy. “We have to make the assumption — and I will — that Jared Kushner is a great American,” he said. Pressed by Montana Sen. Jon Tester, a Democrat, on whether he believes lawmakers should “ensure that assumption is correct,” Kelly described the questions as

part of Mueller’s scope of inquiry. “I think there are numerous investigations that are looking into this,” Kelly said. “I think it’s part of the Bob Mueller investigation, and I think there’s a number of congressional committees looking into it.” The full scope of Mueller’s investigation into possible ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia remains unclear. But it has incorporated a separate criminal investigation — which predated the election — of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, The Associated Press reported last week . Also Tuesday, a senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee wrote Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to clarify the scope and authority of Mueller’s role and asked Rosenstein to ensure the probe is free of political interference. “It is of paramount importance that Mr. Mueller’s investigation proceed unimpeded by any officials who may have a conflict of interest or other ethical bar, or by political interference of any kind,” wrote Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.

to hack Democratic groups during the election. Days after Comey’s firing, the Justice Department appointed a special counsel, former FBI Director Robert Mueller, to oversee the federal investigation. Despite the mounting legal questions now shadowing the White House, Trump has needled Comey publicly. In a tweet days after the firing, he appeared to warn Comey that he might have recordings of their private discussions, something the White House has neither confirmed nor denied. White House officials appear eager to keep the president away from television and Twitter Thursday, though those efforts rarely succeed. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the president plans to

attend an infrastructure summit in the morning, then address the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference at 12:30 p.m. “The president’s got a full day on Thursday,” Spicer said. The White House had hoped to set up a “war room” stocked with Trump allies and top-flight lawyers to combat questions about the FBI and congressional investigations into possible ties between the campaign and Russia. However, that effort has largely stalled, both because of a lack of decision-making in the West Wing and concerns among some potential recruits about joining a White House under the cloud of investigation.

NAPLATE — Nancy Rick-Janis said she saw the news of the tornado on television at home in Downers Grove. “My brother Bob called me, and as he’s calling me I’m telling him, ‘You need to get in the basement, because there’s a tornado headed your way.’” Her brother, Bob Rick, is a volunteer fire man and public works employee in Naplate. Her other brother, Jim, is the mayor. “For over 48 hours we had no idea if anyone was hurt, the damage, we couldn’t get any information,” Rick-Janis said. She said she came for a couple of days to help clean up debris. “After seeing the devastation, I went home and said ‘What could I do to help comfort the residents here?’” Rick-Janis belongs to a quilting group in Downers Grove, Faithful Circle Quilters, which does charity work. She looked to see if the group had any quilts to donate, hoping for 30. Instead, there were only 11, and they were baby quilts. So she sent out a message to the group on social media and reached out to other quilting guilds in that area. “The response was incredible,” RickJanis said. “We ended up collecting 110 quilts.” On April 30 at the village hall, the quilts were distributed to the people who needed them. People who were displaced were the first to receive them. “Nobody walked out of here empty-handed,” said resident Sandy Panko. Panko, who is living in Utica while her home is being repaired from the storm, said she went home and put the quilt on her bed right away. Mary Cupples had the first pick. At 99, she said she’s lived in Naplate since her

Funeral set for head of Greek Orthodox Church in Midwest

A funeral is planned Friday for the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church in the U.S. Midwest. Church leaders say Metropolitan Iakovos was still active in ministry when he died Friday at age 89 after an unexpected illness and surgery at a Chicago hospital. He oversaw 34 parishes in Illinois and two dozen others in northern Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, eastern Missouri and Wisconsin. Iakovos served the in the Greek Orthodox Church for nearly 50 years and was the ﬁrst metropolitan of Chicago. He was born in Athens in 1928 and served in the church there until 1954 when he went to Boston for graduate studies. Archbishop Demetrios of America will preside at Iakovos’ funeral Friday at 10:30 a.m. at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary in Chicago.

Former Naplate resident Nancy Rick-Janis, second from right, wanted to help out after the Feb. 28 tornado displaced residents of Naplate. She worked with several quilting guilds in her area, to collect more than 100 quilts to distribute to those forced from their homes. Scott Anderson /NewsTribune family moved here when she was 3 years old. She had lived in her home since 1955, until the damage from the tornado forced her to move in with her daughter, Cindy, in Ottawa. Many of the displaced residents had lived in their homes for decades and have deep roots in the town. Panko said her husband’s father built their home himself. Her own father was Jim Vittone, the ﬁrst mayor of Naplate and the namesake of its main park. The current mayor, Jim Rick, is the son of Art Rick, the second mayor. The quilt distribution provided another opportunity for residents to come together after the storm. Cheryl Mucci said she volunteered at the village hall every day for two weeks to help feed 100-200 workers and residents, all with meals donated from restaurants, churches and other organizations. “It was a wonderful downpour,” Mucci

said. Bob Rick said there are about 250 homes in Naplate, and about 25 were severely or extremely damaged by the tornado. Lori McConnaughhay has been staying in Utica since her house was damaged. She’s lived in Naplate for 27 years. She said she’s in a tough spot: the house isn’t condemned, but she doesn’t have enough insurance coverage to repair it. All of her belongings still in her home are coated in glass dust, she said, and to walk through stirs it up. She doesn’t want to take things out of the house because of the dust. “We won’t r e c oup f r om t h i s,” McConnaughhay said. But she said the quilt she received helps. “It tells you how much people are thinking about what you’re going through,” she said. “It’s just amazing what other people have done to help.” –Associated Press

State Rep. Drury says he’s running for Illinois governor

Ofﬁcials to launch free summer meals program

Democratic state Rep. Scott Drury says he’s running for Illinois governor. The former assistant U.S. attorney from the Chicago suburb of Highwood announced his 2018 bid on Tuesday. In a news release, Drury says he’ll be the independent Democrat in the race. In January, he was the only Democrat not to vote in favor of House Speaker Michael Madigan’s election to a 17th term as speaker. Madigan also serves as chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois. Drury says “Illinois has been deﬁned by public corruption and a lack of honesty” for too long and he’ll bring “honest change.” Other Democrats who’ve said they’re running to unseat Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner include businessmen Chris Kennedy and J.B. Pritzker, state Sen. Daniel Biss and Chicago alderman Ameya Pawar.

Federal ofﬁcials say they’re providing free summer meals for school children at numerous sites across Illinois. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced this week that there’ll be a kickoff even for the program on June 23 at a Chicago city park. The state’s Board of Education runs the summer meals program with organizations including the Illinois Hunger Coalition. The idea is to provide nutritious meals and snacks to children in the months between the school years. Ofﬁcials say that for 100 children who receive meals through the National School Lunch Programs, only 14 get them through the summer. –Wire reports

Hospice charity event marks 4th anniversary Contributor

On a bright, sunny day, cooled by a steady breeze, 200 men, women and children gathered at Forest Hills Country Club for the Fourth Annual Hole-Hearted for Hospice event. One-hundred-and-thirty-four area golfers participated in the best-ball tournament supported by over 30 volunteers, sponsors and Forest Hills staff. Dozens of companies, like Gambino Realtors and Members Alliance Credit Union, public officials, like Senator Syverson and County Clerk Margie Mullins, and countless others sponsored the event. Saffire Grill Co. and Benson Stone partnered to grill a lunch of brats or pizza for golfers and volunteers. Dinner followed the event, catered by Forest Hills. A silent auction, raffle, and live auction were conducted to raise additional funds. The event is held each year in memory of Heather Wescott-Marrie, and Cecilia “Lynn” Clinkenbeard. Both women suffered from breast cancer, underwent treatment together, and were cared for by the same Heartland Hospice team before succumbing to the disease only 5 days

apart in 2013. Tammy Christiansen, an R.N. and Hospice Community Educator for Heartland Hospice, serves on the event committee each year. She says Heather’s father, Winnebago County Board member Fred Wescott, was touched by how Heartland Hospice cared for his daughter Heather and her family. So he wanted to give back. Wescott reached out to Lynn’s husband, Cal, who is also a long-time close personal friend. Together, they approached Heartland Hospice and decided to hold a golf fundraiser. A committee of 10 or so people was formed and meets biweekly to plan each fundraiser. Wescott was explicit: 100 percent of funds raised by Hole Hearted for Hospice goes to the local Heartland Hospice Memorial Fund. The Heartland Memorial Fund is Heartland’s version of Make-AWish. Heartland uses the fund to air conditioning unit repair, auto repairs, provide transportation, whatever they can to meet the requests of the people in their care. In his daughter Heather’s case, the family wanted to take a trip to Chicago for Mother’s Day. Shortly before the trip, Heather’s condition worsened and she

Heartland does and how much we can help them and their families.” Wescott had three more things to say about Heartland Hospice and the event. “It’s a great organization and I can’t think highly enough of them. We’ll be back again next year and we’ll keep moving forward. When I’m not able to do it anymore, I know my grandkids will keep doing it. It’s just going to be a legacy thing for us.” To donate to the Heartland Hospice M e m or i a l F u n d, c o nt a c t T a m my Christiansen at 866-216-5707 or email her at tamara.christiansen@HCR-ManorCare. com.

became too ill to travel. “The folks at Heartland decided to bring a Mother’s Day celebration right to Heather’s yard. They brought bouncy houses, cotton candy machines, almost a carnival atmosphere, and the hospice team rolled her bed up to the window so she could see everyone who loved and supported her having a good time. Seeing her kids happy like that, just meant the world to her, “ Wescott said. Christiansen says that supporting Heartland Hospice and the Memorial Fund is important for the community. “People reach out for hospice care very late, and there is a need to educate healthcare professionals and families about what

Community

Sharefest brings out volunteer spirit By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — Levings Lake Park in Rockford will look like a brand new facility when Sharefest 2017 concludes, volunteers say. “It’s a great satisfaction to be out there,” Alderman Chad Tuneberg, R-3, said. “It’s great sense of community to participate in such an event.” Tuneberg was among a host of public officials who volunteered last weekend for the nine-day cleanup project. The more than 2,000 volunteers expected to help are doing landscaping, painting and installing floating islands in the west-side lake. A $52,000 upgrade to the playground and improvements of the picnic tables are also part of the Sharefest project. Tuneberg said while hundreds of trees have been destroyed by emerald ash borers, the park’s makeover will be beautiful and complete. “Levings Lake is truly going to look remarkably different,” Tuneberg said. Sharefest 2017 is part of a five-year, $1.4 million improvement plan made possible by the City of Rockford, Winnebago County, Rockford Park District and the Perks Family Foundation. Those who’ve been enjoying Rockford’s premier wake park the past three years will see improvements to the popular West Rock Wake Park, as a $500,000 expansion will add a continuous looping system to allow up to seven riders at once. The addition is expected to double the amount of traffic and will accommodate up to 100 riders a day. A total of 50 floating islands will be installed when the expansion is completed. Those will add a series of native plants that serve as a natural filtering system and habitat for nearby wildlife. Levings Lake is stocked with 1,500 of catfish every year and officials hope to see even more anglers at the already popular fishing spot with the addition of the islands. “(The lake) is getting a total remake,” said Third Ward Alderman Venita Hervey,

D-5, who volunteered alongside Tuneberg. “I thank Sharefest and also the Rockford Park District. It is safe and it is beautiful.” There is still about $400,000 to raise to renovate the concert facility. Park district officials are offering naming rights opportunities for those interesting in improving the venue. Meanwhile, Sharefest volunteers will clean up the existing structure and prepare it for a summer schedule of events like the Live at Levings concert series that features, dance, art, music and spoken word. Other public officials who volunteered were Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara, Winnebago County Board Chairman Frank Haney, Sheriff Gary Caruana, and Winnebago County Board member Eli Nicolosi. “Sharefest is not only a great way to lend a hand and help improve the community we all live in, but also an opportunity to take it to the next level between the City of Rockford and Winnebago County,” Nicolosi said. “We took that philosophy literally and rolled up sleeves, chatted about good ideas and most importantly got to work. There is definitely a new energy in the air, and a lot of good people are ready to make a difference on every level.” Rockford Sharefest was founded in 2006 by former Heartland Community Church directional leader Mark Bankord. In the past 11 years, the organization has spearheaded dozens of cleanup and restoration projects for the Rockford Public Schools, City of Rockford, MELD emergency shelter and others. Its Million Meals program has delivered more than 1 million meals to mission partners in Haiti. Volunteers slots are still available for this year’s Sharefest. Volunteers can sign up at rockfordsharefest.com, or just come to Levings Lake through Saturday, June 10. There are three shifts: 8 a.m-noon; 1-5 p.m.; and 6-9 p.m. Levings Lake Park is at 1420 S. Pierpont Ave., Rockford. R.

It was curtains in 2012 for On the Waterfront, leading some to wonder how downtown would fare without what was once the state’s largest music festival. Rockford leaders said the festival would be replaced by a series of downtown festivals. But since then, the weekly City Market attracts 100,000 people downtown during the summer. Prairie Street Brewhouse’s Dinner on the Dock packs the riverfront every Thursday. First Fridays and Block Party’s draw visitors to the city’s center from across the area. Each complements the other while they all offer downtown’s growing residential core things to do in their backyard. “Now, people are living down here, companies are moving down here,” says Sletten. “It’s not just us little 1,200-foot restaurants and boutiques opening up.

DOWNTOWN — The space at 212 E. State St. lends itself nicely to a quaint eatery for those living, working or playing downtown Rockford. That’s what investors thought when they were planning a multi-use project for the old Rockford Furniture building. And that what Paul Sletten thought when he planned on a taco joint for the corner space. “It’s meant for people coming off the river in flip-flops, but just upscale enough,” said Sletten, a partner in the project who operates Taco Betty’s. “It’s great for groups or someone who’s riding solo looking for a place that’s vibrant and fun with good food. It’s a place to run into someone you know.” The modern taco restaurant was a concept brought to Sletten by investors in the building, which also includes the rooftop conservatory and event center, The Standard; and street-level shops Tique Furnishings and London Avenue. Sletten says he’s a fan of tacos, so the owner of downtown’s Abreo and Social was

eager to join Brent Hughes, Alan Brown and other partners to make Taco Betty’s a reality. “I love tacos and I love the building,” Sletten said. “Tacos are fun, easy and casual. They appeal to everyone. And we do modern tacos, so we don’t really have to follow any guidelines. They don’t need to be traditional or unique. We just do whatever we want with them. It’s easy and fun food meant to be eaten in a fast, noisy environment.” Sletten has seen the ebbs and flows of downtown Rockford over the years. In his 13 years, new attractions have come in and had some success. Others have closed or relocated to follow the trends. That’s been some of the struggle: as countless people have discovered, turning old buildings into sustainable properties is no easy task, especially as downtown has lacked amenities to keep people in he area on regular basis. That’s all changed now. The Rockford IceHogs, UW Health Sports Complex, City Market and a growing housing stock have paved the way for eateries like Taco

Are inland bridges suddenly too low? Climate change raises a new risk: roadways too low over increasingly flooded rivers By Scott McFetridge Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — A century-old train trestle stands as one of the trophies of Des Moines’ push to spruce up its downtown. Bicyclists and pedestrians pose for pictures beside the brightly painted beams of the Red Bridge and gather on viewing platforms overlooking the Des Moines River. But little more than a decade after it was restored, crews went back to the site with a crane to hoist the span 4½ feet higher, at a cost of $3 million, after experts concluded that the river’s flooding risk was nearly double earlier estimates. Climate change was likely to blame. “It was like a bomb was dropped off in our lap,” City Engineer Pam Cooksey said of the revised flood forecasts from the Army Corps of Engineers. The findings suggested that the bridge could act as a dam during bad storms, sending waves of backed-up floodwater into the refurbished business district. Climate change is often seen as posing the greatest risk to coastal areas. But the nation’s inland cities face perils of their own, including more intense storms and more frequent flooding. Even as President Donald Trump has announced his intention for the U.S. to withdraw from a global climate agreement, many of the nation’s river communities are responding to climate change by raising or replacing bridges that suddenly seem too low to stay safely above water. The reconstructed bridges range from multi-lane structures that handle heavy traffic loads to small rural spans traversed by country school buses and farmers shuttling between their fields. The bridges are being raised even in states such as Texas, where political leaders have long questioned whether climate change is real. In Milwaukee, bridges have been raised as part of $400 million in flood-management projects across a metro area with 28 communities. In Reno, Nevada, officials spent about $18 million to replace a bridge over the Truckee River last year and plan to replace three more after flood-danger projections were increased by up to 15 percent. Because the cities are inland, “A lot of these are not the kind of places that people are used to thinking of being in the forefront of climate change,” said Jim Schwab, manager of the Hazards Planning Center at the American Planning Association, which is working with nearly a dozen cities on flood-mitigation options.

Charlie Neibergall, AP Below: Milwaukee’s South Sixth Street Bridge over the Kinnickinnic River.

It’s a technique cities nationwide are using as officials prepare for more intense rainstorms resulting from a warming climate. Ivan Moreno, AP

“What used to be the norm is no longer the norm. The norm is much higher.”

Many communities are “still feeling their way through this particular problem,” he said. No one tracks how many communities are raising bridges or replacing them with

higher ones, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency says it’s now routinely providing money for this purpose, although no dollar total is available. Typically, more than 1,500 bridges are reconstructed each

year for an assortment of reasons. Schwab said he’s sure hundreds and possibly thousands of bridge-raising projects have been completed recently or are planned. A cursory check by the AP in a handful of states found at least 20 locations where bridges have been raised or construction will begin soon. FEMA is now finalizing a rule that states that floods “are expected to be more frequent and more severe over the next century due in part to the projected effects of climate change.” That could mean higher costs for a country that sustained

Hope after Trump’s Paris withdrawal By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl s expected, the Trump Administration announced its intention to step away from the Paris Agreement to cut carbon emissions in the United States. This action is seen as leaving a leadership gap at the international level which is expected to be filled by China who possesses significant technological capacity in wind, solar and battery industries. Of additional concern to renewable energy interests is cutting funding for research, development and public information related to energy efficiency, renewable energy and climate science. Michael Liebreich expects the arguments on climate change to shift among the opponents who challenge the evidence that a warming climate will produce more storms, droughts, higher sea levels while touting the beneficial effects on higher CO2 levels on agricul-

tural productivity. For them, estimates of high costs will justify taking little corrective action. While the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is viewed with dismay by advocates of a clean energy future, Charles Komanoff, a previous keynote speaker at the Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair, provides another perspective. In his report: The Good News A Clean Electricity Boom Is Why The Clean Power Plan is Way Ahead of Schedule, he explains that rapid decarbonization already occurred over the past decade in the U.S. electric power sector. He points out that by the end of 2016 our electricity production experienced a 25 percent reduction in carbon emissions since 2005, equivalent to 80 percent of the carbon reduction goal for 2030 under the Clean Power Plan. He estimates that 58 percent of the carbon reductions came from utilizing clean sources of electrical energy and 42 percent from substituting natural

gas for coal in power plants. These estimates undercut the claim that fracked gas was the major cause of reducing coal burning. Komanoff considers this good news as it offers a cushion of emission reductions to counter administration efforts to slow progress on carbon reductions. He adds that the utilizing clean electricity comes without methane emissions, powerful climate changing gases, which are associated with natural gas extraction and transportation. Another significant factor limiting carbon emissions is that electrical use in the U.S has been virtually flat since 2005. The lack of growth in electrical consumption is credited with 38 percent of the reduction in carbon emissions during the past decade. Komanoff refers to The Battle analyst, Ahmad Faruqui, who cites four factors beyond the weak economy as accounting for the lack of growth in electrical consumption. In summary, they are:

1. Changes in consumer behavior on the part of young adults favoring urban living, delayed family formation, smaller living accommodations and fewer appliances; 2. New energy reducing technologies including automated demand response and smart meters; 3. Energy efficiency programs and energy codes and standards for buildings and appliances; and 4. Growth in rooftop solar installations and microturbines. While Komanoff stresses the good news of the clean electricity boom, he acknowledges that progress made on carbon reductions must expand to our overall energy consumption. As an economist, he believes a carbon tax remains the most powerful policy tool for rapid reductions of emissions. R. Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl are the President and Vice President of the Illinois Renewable Energy Association.

more than $260 billion in flood damage between 1980 and 2013. Given the Trump administration’s skepticism of climate change, however, a FEMA spokeswoman says the agency “has not determined what its next action will be” on the rule. The Corps of Engineers did not respond to requests for information on cities where flood risks have been reassessed. Increasing humidity from the more than 1.5 degree increase in global temperatures since 1880 has resulted in more intense downpours, according to David R. Easterling, director of the national climate assessment unit at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “It causes day after day of rainfall, and that leads to flooding,” Easterling said. In some cases, a city’s 100-year flood could be seen as twice what it was 40 years ago, with double the risk, as it was for Des Moines. A 100-year flood is the worst flood that can be expected to happen over a century. It has a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year. River level forecasts have increased in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, since tropic-like rainstorms in 2008 caused the normally placid Cedar River to climb higher than anyone thought possible, eventually topping the previous record flood by 11 feet. More than 1,100 blocks in Iowa’s second-largest city wound up underwater. Afterward, the Corps of Engineers raised Cedar Rapids’ projections for a 100-year flood by 8 percent. As part of a massive

flood-control project, the city decided to raise its Eighth Avenue Bridge by 14 feet, putting it 28 feet above the average water surface. “What used to be the norm is no longer the norm,” said Rob Davis, the city’s flood-control program manager. “The norm is much higher.” Elsewhere, the college town of Iowa City plans to add about 5 feet of clearance with a new bridge over the Iowa River, and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District raised a bridge over the Kinnickinnic River to prevent the waterway from backing up amid downpours. Similar projects are planned here in Rockford, where higher levels on the Rock River have been projected over the coming years. The preparations for climate change seem oddly disconnected from the political debate about the issue. In Texas, where politicians including Sen. Ted Cruz have questioned whether the climate is growing warmer and if humans have caused the change, Austin has raised two bridges in the past five years and plans to improve three more stream crossings, said Pam Kearfott, a supervising engineer in the city’s watershed protection department. Officials “try to stick to the technical basis for change” and ignore the politics, she said. San Antonio is among other Texas cities that have raised bridges in anticipation of greater dangers.

In the West, small communities in the Ross Valley north of San Francisco anticipate worse seasonal flooding from climate change. They plan to replace five bridges that are now too low, at a cost of more than

$10 million. As Cooper Martin, who heads the National League of Cities’ Sustainable Cities Institute, puts it, “With the changing climate, cities have to do something.”

STATE BUDGET CRISIS

Is K-12 the key to getting this done? BY RICH MILLER

H CAPITOL FAX

ouse Speaker Michael Madigan was his usual self during the ﬁnal week of the General Assembly’s spring session, passing bills to make one point or another, but not actually accomplishing anything. Bills are routinely moved in the House for the sole purpose of creating TV ads, or direct mail pieces or newspaper headlines. Madigan’s only real ideology is maintaining his majority, and he doesn’t consider that to be a bad thing. And maintaining that majority has been inextricably tied for two long years to stopping Gov. Bruce Rauner at every turn, despite Madigan’s repeated claims that he’s cooperating and that Rauner should just accept a win and move on. But whatever else you can say about Madigan, he’s not wrong about that last part. The governor could’ve accepted a two-year property tax freeze proposed by both Senate Democrats and Republicans as a down payment on reform. That freeze would’ve gotten him through the 2018 election and he could’ve warned voters that the Democrats would never pass another freeze if he was defeated. The Senate’s freeze proposal even included provisions for local referendums in 2018 to let voters decide whether or not to keep their freezes. That would’ve helped the governor gin up turnout among his Republican base next year. But Rauner wouldn’t compromise with the Senate and here we are with nothing. Gov. Rauner constantly derides the “headline” bills which Madigan loves. But Rep. Steve Andersson (R-Geneva) was totally right when he told Chicago Magazine’s Whet Moser: “At this point, there’s not enough reform to counter the damage we’ve done to the state in the past two years.” Rauner’s own four-year property tax freeze coupled with workers’ compensation insurance reform that would’ve saved maybe $120 million in Illinois’ $700 billion economy could’ve done some good two years ago. But now, the reforms are little more than political cover. Those reforms won’t come close to making up for the damage already caused by running a government on court-ordered autopilot and then compounding the problem by signing state contracts that can’t be paid. We as a state have starved our universities nearly to death, devastated the social safety net and, in the process, piled up billions of dollars

in unpaid bills, including the $1.1 billion currently owed to K-12 schools that the state has no way to pay anytime soon. Rauner’s reforms also won’t do much of anything to ease the damage from the much-needed “cure.” The longer Illinois waits, the higher the taxes will have to rise and the deeper the cuts will have to go. In other words, this whole thing on both sides is a grotesquely fake Kabuki dance. Madigan’s reforms are lip service at best and Rauner’s “real” reforms won’t come within a solar system of his overly promised “booming” economy. So, now what? The attorney general’s attempt to overturn a judicial order that state workers be paid without a legal appropriation appears hopelessly stuck in the courts. University layo�s have exceeded 1,500 and lasting damage has been inflicted upon their reputations, but that hasn’t moved the Statehouse needle an inch. Thousands upon thousands of the poorest and most vulnerable among us have been kicked to the curb and nobody seems to care. Our bond ratings are ridiculously low and are going lower, but it’s being shrugged o�. The only thing that literally everyone is deathly afraid of is a K-12 school shutdown. There’s a reason why Gov. Rauner vetoed everything out of the budget passed in 2015 except K-12 funding. The same goes for including K-12 in the last-minute 2016 stopgap funding deal. As long as they can “contain” the damage, the warring parties can continue their bizarre dispute. But a school shutdown would literally bring out the torches and pitchforks. The governor has said repeatedly that he won’t sign a partial budget without permanent property tax relief and term limits, which puts him in a horrible box. But a flip-flop would likely go mostly unnoticed if schools open on time. Will the Democrats pass a partial budget for schools? I assume the House would. Speaker Madigan seems to prefer this war. The Senate Democrats might be another story. They could impose the terms of surrender during an extreme crisis because their chamber has already courageously approved those terms – a budget, revenues and reforms. They may have to step up again and refuse to do a stopgap and finally bring this thing to an end. Read Rich Miller’s regular dispatches from Springfield at capitolfax.com.

Starlight ready with new leader By Liz Newman

Contributor

here is an invigorated energy surrounding the Starlight stage as they embark on their 51st season. New at the helm, Christopher D. Brady spoke of “community” and “collaboration” during his first curtain speech introducing Starlight Theatre at Rock Valley College’s preview performance of Beauty and The Beast, the opening show of the season. There is an undeniable sense of pride behind every performer, employee, and volunteer. In anticipation of the curtain rising, countless familiar and smiling faces filled the theater embracing and laughing, a scene out of a beloved family reunion. Bea Lincoln, a former music teacher, and long time Starlight volunteer, reflects on Starlight as a family: “Theater people are a rare breed. You go to a show as a volunteer one time, and the people that you meet, are the people that become your best friends, your soul mates, your own family members, people in your community that, unless you did this, you may never have crossed paths with.“ What is most exciting is the influx of returning Starlight veterans, some, finding their way back after being absent many years. Phil Cooper, a founding member of Children’s Theater Workshop, is re-debuting his starlight career as Maurice in Beauty and the Beast after a 17 year absence from the stage. Angelo O’Dierno is also reprising his role as Lighting Designer after being gone over a decade. When asked what makes Starlight special, Don Stein, former Starlight employee turned volunteer, answered, “Collaboration. I love this theatre, the people who make it happen, and the cast I have the distinct honor of working with because we’re doing just that – working WITH each other. And we’re making something beautiful.” Stein attended his first show in 2011 and met his wife, Emily, on stage that summer. “It was clear to me even then that the place was a big family. Everyone knew everyone else. It was like walking into someone else’s family reunion.” Stein can be seen in this season’s fourth production, Godspell. “This theater really is run by the community” Brady’s’ wife, Erin, says of

the theater. “We met and spent our youth out here, so many amazing memories.” Erin made her starlight debut in 1993, at ten years old in the cast of Rags. Their youngest daughter, Imogen, is making her Starlight debut this summer in Beauty and the Beast. Brady himself says he is “humbled beyond measure to have the honor of shaping our community through the beauty of theatre in this marvelous venue.” He adds that these casts are “extraordinarily talented, the crew exhaustively committed, the volunteers ridiculously giving, and the creative production staff wonderfully explorative.” Starlight at its core has become brighter, and the web of talent, community, and family, has never been stronger. The first of 4 productions, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, runs June 7-10, and July 5-9. The story of a young girl who finds herself a prisoner in an enchanted castle. Her captor, a young prince under a horrible spell that has transformed him into a hideous beast. He must learn to love and be loved, or be doomed to remain a beast forever. Second up is the Tony winning, Peter

and the Starcatcher. Running June 14-17 and July 12-16, this magical adventure is frequently described as a prequel of Peter Pan. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own - the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.” The third force of nature to take the Starlight stage, is the musical comedy based on the 1992 film, Sister Act, which runs June 21-24 and July 19-23. When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother

Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood. The fourth and final show of the 51st season, Godspell, runs June 28-July 1 and July 26-30. A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life. Theater is truly a collaborative art, and this is no exception, and audiences and volunteers are still needed to make this season a success. Starlight needs seamstresses, painters, ushers, popcorn pushers, running crew, and more.

FILM REVIEWS

Pirates coasts through latest BY THOMAS SIMPSON CONTRIBUTOR

Captain Jack Sparrow sails the seas once more in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. It’s been 14 years since Johnny Depp first brought the iconic Jack to our screens to critical acclaim, yet positive reviews of his eccentric role have diminished with each installment. Fans started to feel the characters was overexposed, a fair criticism as the popular pirate took up considerable more screen time in the sequels. Dead Man Tales is directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg – with Rønning claiming he wants the film the feel more like the first one and slot Jack back into the supporting role he excels in, but has this ship run its course? Although it doesn’t ignore the events of Strangers Tides, the film serves more as a follow-up of World’s End. A young Henry Turner (Lewis McGowan) looks to break the curse that has doomed his father Will (Orlando Bloom) to captain the Flying

Dutchman. Nine years pass and Henry witnesses the crew on his ship slaughtered by a devilish Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) and his undead crew. Henry later reluctantly teams up with Sparrow and Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), who is after the Trident of Poseidon, a weapon that Henry believes can break his father’s curse. With the introduction of Henry and Carina, the filmmakers look to recapture the dynamic of the first film. Despite Jack showing an interest in Carina, the love triangle element is downplayed, a wise choice considering how leering Depp appears during these moments. At times Depp comes across as a parody of the character that got him his first Oscar nomination, but as the film progresses he finds his groove and provides some humorous moments, especially with his new crew. Javier Bardem is great as Salazar, snarling vitriol, each line dripping with an evil vengeance. He provides a memo-

rable villain in a forgettable movie which is Dead Man’s Tales biggest issue. There’s nothing here we haven’t seen before from the franchise and it does nothing better or bigger than its predecessors. The set pieces are fine but the action isn’t thrilling and it never really builds to a rewarding climax. There’s nothing particularly bad to be said about the movie, but there’s little to shout about also. It’s a vanilla summer blockbuster that can’t make up for its lack of depth with a grand spectacle. It’s not dull, but it is flat and may have you checking the time now and then to see if it’s nearing its end. With a sixth film planned and the franchise now breaking the $4 billion dollar mark, the series has done well considering it was based on a theme park ride. Although the films aren’t broke they’ve gotten stale, and in need of a revamp as Dead Man’s Tales cruises rather than sails. R. On Twitter: @Simmy41.

TUBE TALK

The year’s summer series BY PAULA HENDRICKSON CONTRIBUTOR

815-986-0950 | 510 S Perryville Road

Summer TV used to be mostly reruns, news magazines and reality shows. These days it’s a viable season for broadcast, cable networks, and even streaming services. Admit it: even if you haven’t been streaming the new seasons of Netflix’s The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt or House of Cards or Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, you know someone who’s watching those shows – and probably can’t stop talking about them. Two of my favorite long-running series are returning soon. BBC America’s Orphan Black and Syfy’s Face O�. As eager as I am for the return of Orphan Black, my excitement is tempered by the fact that this is its final season. Far too soon we’ll have to say goodbye to Sarah, Alison, Cosima, Helena, Krystal, even Rachel (all played with distinction by Tatiana Maslany), and their extended (non-clone) family. Worse yet, I have a foreboding feeling not all the clones will survive. While Orphan Black is a science fiction thriller, my favorite reality competition show, Face O�, is the one airing on Syfy. I love watching the special e�ects makeup artists thrive under the pressure of ridiculous challenges and tight deadlines. Their creativity and artistry is awe-in-

spiring. For a long time I thought I was the only person in my real life who was addicted to Face O�, but a few months ago I discovered two of my cousins are big fans of it, too. A new summer series I’m especially curious about is TNT’s Claws. Headed by Niecy Nash (Reno 911, Scream Queens) and Carrie Preston (The Good Wife, True Blood), the series revolves around a group of Florida manicurists drawn into the world of organized crime. Billed as a one-hour “dramedy” the show was initially developed as half-hour comedy, so the real question may be why Turner decided to put it on its drama-centric network instead of the comedy-focused TBS. But I love wild nail polish, so of course I’m interested in watching a show about female anti-heroes who just happen to work at a nail salon. Even the major broadcast networks have a few gems this summer, like NBC’s funny and provocative The Carmichael Show, which launched it’s third season last week. It stars its series creator/ executive producer – stand-up comedian Jerrod Carmichael (playing “Jerrod,”

of course) – with David Alan Grier (In Living Color) and Loretta Devine (Boston Public, Grey’s Anatomy) as his parents. The smart, topical writing is a modern day twist on All in the Family, with Jerrod’s fiancée, Maxine (Amber Stevens West), sparking inter-generational debates that are thought provoking, occasionally disturbing, and always include levity. In our politically divisive world, it’s refreshing to see well-drawn characters discussing their opinions – and prejudices – spanning all sides of hot button issues. This brief list proves that even during slower summer months you can find first-run programs that appeal to just about any taste.

Programming notes

Orphan Black returns Saturday June 10 at 9 p.m. on BBC America. Claws premieres Sunday, June 11 at 8 p.m. on TNT. Face O� returns Tuesday June 13 at 8 p.m. on Syfy. The Carmichael Show airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC. R.

ROCKFORD ROCKED

RRI talks with Terry Tyderek BY TODD HOUSTON

CONTRIBUTOR

his week, Rockford Rocked Interviews talks with Terry Tyderek. Terry spent a large portion of his youth studying and playing guitar in various bands throughout the area, earning quite a reputation for being sort of a hot shot on the fret board. RRI: Good morning, Terry. Give us a little background if you would. TT: I started playing at seven years of age and took guitar lessons from Guzzardo’s and music instructor John Ross here in Rockford. My first band was just your typical neighborhood band. I rode my bike to practice with my amp and guitar. We didn’t have a singer but man it was fun. We were just kids that loved music, you know? I was obsessed with the guitar and played as much as I could. RRI: You ended up joining a working rock band at a very young age. What was your parents’ reaction like? Did they approve? TT: I joined a popular local band called Diamond Force at 16. The band played almost every weekend and even played gigs on weekdays. That meant I would play a club on a Thursday, get home at 2 a.m. and then have to wake up and go to school in the morning. My parents were less than thrilled, to say the least. (laughs) It was a great learning experience though that I wouldn’t change for the world. RRI: In a previous conversation you told me that you worked giving guitar lessons and even dabbled in musical instrument sales. What advice did you give to the younger kids starting out? TT: I would tell them to play music because you love it and concentrate on being yourself and writing your own music. Draw influences from everywhere but add your own personal stamp to it. Nobody plays a lick exactly the same way unless you’re a robot. RRI: You also play drums? When did you have time to learn?! TT: The reason I started playing drums is that I wanted to be able to play and record music at home and not have to rely on anyone else. I figured if I learned to play drums and bass then I could throw ideas on my four-track studio anytime I was inspired to. It can be tough sometimes getting four or five musicians in the same room to record a demo. RRI: It seems that the days of actual recording studios have been replaced by PCs and Macs, meaning, it’s entirely possible to record an album in your living room. Thoughts? TT: I think home recording is great on the fly, meaning that you can throw

down ideas very quickly without having to book time in an actual studio. There are many great programs out there for your Mac and PC. The downside is that a lot of musicians that use this software don’t always take the time to properly mix, EQ and master their recording before uploading to iTunes or whatever. The result? A lot of crappy music floating around the internet! (laughs) RRI: You’ve been to and lived in a lot of di�erent locations throughout the years. How the music scene in, say, Los Angeles di�ers from the Midwest, if at all? TT: I’ve found that the music scene here in the Midwest is more of a community. When I was out west playing in bands it didn’t have that family vibe. You could be in a band for two years with someone in L.A. and not even know their last name! (laughs) RRI: Word on the street says you’re working on new material for possible release later this year. What can us listeners expect to hear? TT: Bluesy hard rock mixed with melodic rock. I have a lot of things that I am finishing up right now. Some of these musical ideas I’ve had for years and for whatever reason I haven’t been able to get them down on tape. After finishing up with this I would like to put together a band where I can collaborate with another songwriter. Sort of a Jimmy Page/Robert Plant team. RRI: I’m going to say a word or phrase and you answer with whatever pops into your head. Ready? The Rockford Metro

Center. TT: Seeing the band Triumph in 1984 . RRI: The Beatles. TT: Paul McCartney. RRI: Columbia College Chicago. TT: Where I Interned for Relativity Records. RRI: John Belushi. TT: Animal House. My all time favorite. RRI: Favorite place in Rockford to relax and maybe grab a beer and a burger. TT: R.B.I.’s on Perryville. The best burgers ever. R.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo

This week

The full moon on June 9 arrives in Sagittarius. This will be a frisky full moon with an abundance of powerful energy to spare. The ability to manifest your dreams, hopes and ambitions are evident with this astrological climate. Keep your eyes and mind wide open during this lunar cycle. Crazy conspiracy theories turn out to be not so crazy after all. Hold on to your hats people, this is going to be an interesting ride.

Aries

You’re just about done with a very longdrawn-out schedule and now it’s time to play. Connect with those that bring some humor into your life and positive activity. The love life dry spell you’ve been experiencing is about to come to an end. Single Aries have many options to choose from, while attached Aries make passionate connections with their significant others. Enjoy!

Taurus

A person from your past may be reaching out to acknowledge your efforts at this time. Try not to complicate this matter by looking for the hidden motive, there may not be one involved in this situation at all. Take information you receive this week and set it aside for a later date; there will be more to the story by month’s end, Taurus.

Gemini

Annoying distractions may cloud your judgment early on this week. You can’t please all of the people all of the time, so set your priorities and stick to them. A letter or long-distance phone call brings unexpected news. There must be a silver lining attached to this somehow, it just may take a while to reveal the purpose of this situation. A long overdue payment will arrive at week’s end; don’t spend it all in one place, Gemini.

Cancer

A burden that has been weighing

heavily on your heart will lift this week. Solutions will arrive to clear the air. With this in motion try not to hang on to this old element. Let it go once and for all. This will only get in your way of future success. Midweek a secret admirer reveals themselves to you in an unexpected way. Investigate further options with this individual, Cancer.

Leo

News of a health matter regarding a family member or friend could be very disturbing. Offer emotional or financial support if at all possible. Travel plans are in the works at this time, do not allow a nosy female to interrupt your schedule. You don’t have time for all of the drama that they may want to bring into the mix. Try not to offer any more information than you need to at this time, Leo.

Virgo

Usually what we bring voice to when we are assessing others ends up being true to form for ourselves. Go within and figure out why you need to project your misdirected thoughts and feelings towards another. The family dynamic needs strong intervention at this time. Boundaries need to be set with those that are attempting to restrict you from personal growth, but first you need to identify who that really is. Make sure you’re not fooling yourself in the process, Virgo.

Libra

You’re narrowing down your options for the best case scenario now. So many opportunities have been presented over the past few months. This may have made it difficult to decide which way to go. The signs are all pointing to one favorable aspect now, providing the clarity you need to make the choice. The weekend allows time to cozy up with a loved one and enjoy your home environment, Libra.

Scorpio

Try not to take the odd behavior of another personally at this time. This has nothing to do with you and if you make it about you it certainly will turn into an issue in real time. Midweek allows new business or career opportunities to come

into view. Take advantage of these aspects and strike while the iron’s hot. You’re ahead of the game by week’s end, Scorpio.

Sagittarius

Make room for those who are trying to find a place in your life. Although you may be apprehensive because of past situations with people, you may end up losing out on a rare opportunity in the months to come. Concerns about the health and welfare of an older female may be weighing on your mind this week. Take the time to pick up the phone and check in, Sag.

Capricorn

Your intuition is right on the money this week. Check in with those that are concerning you, and use your soothing healing approach to calm them down. Inspire those that may be feeling stuck in a lose-lose situation to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. This becomes a contagious element that spreads like wildfire. Your own words of wisdom put a fire under your own feet as well, Capricorn.

Aquarius

Pay close attention to how the influences of others may be affecting your health and welfare at this time. Your energy or personality may slowly but surely be affected by this emotional vampire. Midweek you need to set boundaries with another that does not have the respect for your space that you deserve. No need to go on a guilt trip over this, and do not allow another to bully you into complying to their needs. Your emotional state is just as valuable, Aquarius.

Pisces

A chance meeting with a female opens doors for career and new social contacts this week. Follow up with invitations to connect with like minds and positive influences. A phone call from far away provides unexpected news; you may need to travel shortly as a result of this. Stay caught up with mundane tasks so that emotional pressure doesn’t get the best of you at this time, Pisces.

Mr. Green Car

Staycation: Paddle the region By Allen Penticoff

Contributor

favorite topic of Mr. Green Car ramblings is the staycation adventure. Energy conservation is just using less to accomplish a task. When that task is enjoying the great outdoors in some fashion that suites your interest, I recommend the “staycation” where one does not travel across hundreds or thousands of miles to have a great experience but rather to look in your own backyard. Our Rock River Valley region is blessed with some great canoeing and kayaking adventures. Obviously, we have the Rock River Trail, the Kishwaukee River, the Pecatonica and a bit of the Sugar River in Winnebago County alone. Over in Freeport is the Pecatonica and Yellow Creek. Boone County is home to the Kishwaukee River and several interesting paddable creeks. The Galena River and the Apple River are very scenic and not far away. The Mississippi River is not far either and is a great paddling destination. But just to our north across the state line is a treasure trove of creeks and rivers, lakes and ponds to paddle. A new book is out that I highly recommend to the adventurous staycationer – “Canoeing & Kayaking South Central Wisconsin” – subtitled “60 Paddling Adventures Within 60 Miles of Madison” by Timothy Bauer. From the environs of Rockford, 60 miles will get you very near Madison and find many of the waterways listed in the book. Bauer was at pain to not list our

splendid Kishwaukee River among those reviewed. But it is mentioned in an appendix as a highly desirable paddle – just technically a bit out of range. The same Appedix C: Illinois Trips Within 60 Miles of Madison includes Lena’s Lake Le-Aqua Na State Park, Pecatonica River – Winslow to Pecatonica, Piscasaw Creek: Chemung to Boone Township and Yellow Creek: Florence to Freeport. Bauer’s book details all you would ever need to know. Each paddle reviewed includes “The Facts” such as where to put in and take out. Recommended water levels and flow rates and how to find this information online. Skill level and canoe/kayak appropriateness. How to get back to your vehicle with either another vehicle or bicycle is included. I particularly like the idea of using a bicycle to do the return shuttle as there is not the fuel usage of two vehicles to the destination. “The Flavor” is detailed description of the trip, including points of interest and critters to be found. Good maps are included to show the water and shuttle routes. In the section he calls “The Fudge” you will find additional recommended trips (such as continuing on the same river), camping, rentals if available, good places to find pizza, beer or a “shout out” to interesting things to see or do nearby. Even if you never intend to paddle, this guidebook can get you out of town and to some interesting destinations. I find it to be very readable, and don’t expect to do but a handful of the many trips Bauer highlights. However,

I do like reading about them as an armchair adventurer. While they did not start out to form such a partnership, there is now essentially an online companion to the book at MilesPaddled.com. Here you will find that Bauer’s oft time paddling partner, videographer and web savvy geek friend, Barry Kalpinski has built a website/ blog that mirrors many of the trips in the book and expands upon it greatly casting off the mileage restriction of the book title. Here you will find the same detailed reviews on many creeks and

rivers in Northern Illinois and beyond to the great northern parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. I get the weekly updates in my email and read every one of them. They often have video. All have photos. Sometimes it is a paddle of Bauer going solo, Kalpinski going solo, or one they have done together. After I bought the book last year in a Madison paddle sport shop, I began corresponding with Timothy when I provided some updated information on a launch site on Decatur Lake near Brodhead, Wisconsin (where I am writing this). This evolved into a pen-pal relationship up until I met Timothy and Barry at the Canoeacopia event in Madison this past March. Both sessions they did were to standing room only crowds. While we still correspond, we run into one another now and then as well and will sit down for a beer and some pizza. This book may be available at Rockford’s downtown paddle sport shop – Rocktown Adventures or online. You can certainly check out MilesPaddled. com to see what you need for any trip or to get the sense of the book published by Menasha Ridge Press ($17.95). There are several other good books and websites specific to canoeing Illinois and Wisconsin rivers and streams – the notable one is Rockford resident and nationally honored canoe guru Tom Lindblade’s YouTube video channel. With this info in hand, you will be ready to head out on a not so fuel intensive great adventure in your own backyard. R.

FARM & AG

Harvesting your garlic BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Garlic harvest is a couple weeks away and yet you may be seeing some sure signs that your garlic is ready. One of these signs is the garlic scape. This long piece from the garlic is thin and looks like a skinny, pale, green snake. It will curl usually. The garlic scape is the ﬂower part of the garlic bulb. The appearance of the garlic scape is the ﬁrst sign that your garlic is getting close to be harvested. What you want to do with the garlic scape is cut it o�. You’ll cut it o� about 1-2 inches from where the curl ends. Do not throw away the garlic scape as it can be used in your cooking for any recipe needing garlic. Once the scape has been removed, wait 1-2 weeks before digging a test bulb. While the aboveground portion will be green and brown, it is hard to tell if the garlic is ready unless digging up a test bulb. What you are looking for in this test bulb is the appearance of the “paper” quality that the garlic bulb and cloves have. Open up the garlic bulb to see if the “paper” has appeared on the garlic cloves. If you are too early, wait another week. When you harvest your garlic, keep

the aboveground portion in tack. From there, garlic should be removed and dried out in a well-ventilated space protected from sun and rain. Once it has dried out for at least a week in your area, it can be moved into your kitchen and stored in a dark, dry area. From there, you will be able to use garlic for a couple of months depending on the variety you have. If you missed the garlic planting date in our region, plan ahead now as it is sometimes hard to get garlic cloves for planting. One single clove will produce a bulb. In our region, garlic is planted in the fall 4-6 weeks before the ﬁrst frost using hardneck varieties. These varieties can withstand our winter. The softneck varieties, commonly found at grocery stores, cannot produce enough of a bulb that we want. One way to acquire your garlic for fall planting is to purchase from your local farmer’s market when their garlic is available. Many of these farmers grow a wide range of garlic varieties. R. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension. His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

Hog prices continue on their upward trend BY DEBRA LEVEY LARSON U OF I NEWS BUREAU

URBANA – For agricultural commodities, larger supplies generally result in lower prices. According to Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt, this year’s hog market is going against that adage with both larger supplies and higher prices. “Before we conclude that something is wrong, remember that prices are determined by both supply and demand factors,” Hurt says. “A closer look at both factors explains why the hog market is being rational with larger supplies and higher prices.” More pork and higher prices has been a theme for 2017. The number of hogs coming to market in 2017 has been 2.7 percent higher and weights have been down 0.4 percent. This means that total pork production has been 2.3 percent higher in 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Yet prices through May this year have averaged near $49 per live hundredweight, which is $1.65 per hundredweight higher (3.5 percent) than last year’s average price. “The most important reason for higher prices involves favorable international trade for U.S. pork,” Hurt explains. “Pork exports have been up 17 percent and pork imports have been down 10 percent. For trade data available so far this year, pork exports have accounted for 22 percent of production, which is the strongest export showing since 2012, the year of record exports. Who do we have to thank for these near record exports? Shipments to Japan, our largest customer, have been up 8 percent; Mexico, our second largest customer, has purchased 33 percent more than last year; and South Korea, our fourth biggest customer, has purchased 32 percent more.” With about 2 percent more production in the United States so far this year, the amount of pork available to U.S. consumers is actually down about 1 percent because of favorable trade, Hurt says. When population growth is considered, the available pork per person in the United States has been down about 1.7 percent for the year. This ﬁts the theme of larger production and higher prices, with the strong export demand being the primary driver so far this year. According to Hurt, the theme of larger production and higher prices is expected to continue into the summer and fall. The last-half 2017 domestic pork production is expected to grow by about 2 percent, yet prices are expected to be well above those in the last half of 2016. Third quarter live hog prices are expected to average in the mid-$50s compared to

the very high $40s in 2016. Live prices in the final quarter of the year are expected to be in the middle $40s compared to $37 in the last quarter of 2016. “If prices are as expected, the last-half prices this year may be around $6 to $7 per live hundredweight higher than for the same period of 2016.” Hurt lists two reasons for this. The first is the expectation for the continuation of favorable trade and the second is due to a perceived shortage of packing capacity in the last half of 2016 which likely depressed hog prices. New capacity this year is expected to result in more competitive bidding for hogs and contribute to stronger prices this year. For the 2016 calendar year, USDA reports live prices (based on 51 percent to 52 percent lean carcasses) averaged $46.16. “My projection for this year is around $50 per hundredweight,” Hurt says. “Estimated total costs of production for calendar 2017 is in the very high $40s. If annual prices are a touch over $50s this would provide an estimated $3 of profit per head. Profits are returns above all costs of production. Projections are for $9 per head of profit in the second quarter, $15 per head of profit in the third quarter, and then an $11 per head loss in the final quarter.” Profits are generally the highest in the second and third quarters because of the tendency to have the highest hog prices of the year at that time, Hurt says. The June USDA Hogs and Pigs report is scheduled to be released on June 29 and will provide an update on industry expansion and help the industry project pork supplies over the coming year. U.S. weather over the next 60 to 90 days will be the primary determinate of the size of U.S. feed crops. Current USDA price projections are for corn to be the same price as last year’s price, with a 2017-18 marketing-year average of $3.40 per bushel. “My evaluation is that price will average about 30 cents higher,” Hurt says. “USDA expectations are for high protein meal at Decatur to average $315 per ton (the center of their projected range) for the 2017-18 marketing year compared to $320 for the previous year. This will be the lowest price for meal since 2010. Over the past year, meal prices have been high in relationship to corn (based on long-run averages). In the coming year, lower meal prices and higher corn prices may favor an increase in protein levels in rations.” According to Hurt, a large acreage increase for soybeans and decrease for corn this year also means that harmful growing season weather may have a relatively larger upward impact on corn prices as compared to soybean prices. “The timing of any adverse weather can have a large influence on which crop is a�ected more.”

YOUR HEALTH

Quickly reporting cancer complications may boost survival BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP CHIEF MEDICAL WRITER

CHICAGO — If you’re being treated for cancer, speak up about any side e�ects. A study that had patients use home computers to report symptoms like nausea and fatigue surprisingly improved survival — by almost half a year, longer than many new cancer drugs do. The online tool was intended as a quick and easy way for people to regularly report complications rather than trying to call their doctors or waiting until the next appointment. Researchers had hoped to improve quality of life but got a bonus in longer survival. “I was ﬂoored by the results,” said the study leader, Dr. Ethan Basch. “We are proactively catching things early” with online reporting. Patients were able to stick with treatment longer because their side e�ects were quickly addressed, he said. People shouldn’t assume that symptoms are an unavoidable part of cancer care, said Dr. Richard Schilsky, chief medical o�cer of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. “You want to be able to reach your provider as early and easily as possible,” because a sign like shortness of breath may mean treatment isn’t working and needs to be changed, he said. The study was featured at the cancer group’s annual meeting in Chicago on Sunday and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Earlier studies suggest that doctors miss about half of patients’ symptoms. “Much of this happens between visits when patients are out of sight and out of mind,” said Basch, a researcher at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Sometimes patients just put up with a problem until their next exam. “The spouse will say, ‘My husband was laid up in bed, exhausted or in pain,’ and I’ll say ‘Why didn’t you call me?’” Basch said. The study tested whether the online tool could catch problems sooner. It

involved 766 people being treated for various types of advanced cancers at Sloan Kettering. Some were given usual care and the rest, the online symptom tool. Patients were as old as 91, and 22 percent has less than a high school education, but using a computer proved easy. “The older patients really grabbed onto it very quickly,” Basch said. The online group was asked to report symptoms at least once a week — sooner if they had a problem — and given a list of common ones such as appetite loss, constipation, cough, diarrhea, shortness of breath, fatigue, hot ﬂashes, nausea or pain. Doctors saw these reports at o�ce visits, and nurses got email alerts when patients reported severe or worsening problems. “Almost 80 percent of the time, the nurses responded immediately,” calling in medicines for nausea, pain or other problems, Basch said. Six months later, health-related quality of life had improved for more of those in the online group and they made fewer trips to an emergency room. They also were able to stay on chemotherapy longer — eight months versus six, on average. Median survival in the online group was 31 months versus 26 months for the others. A larger study will now test the online reporting system nationwide. A colon cancer patient, 53-year-old James Sylvester of New York, is using a version of the one tested in the study to report any problems to his doctors at Sloan Kettering. He hasn’t had many side e�ects, but a rash led to referral to a dermatologist to see if it was related to his cancer medicine. “The main beneﬁt is they go holistically all over your body” with the list, asking about things that folks may not realize could be due to cancer, such as a rash or trouble with balance, he said. “Some of the things you might not tell your doctor, or you might forget,” Sylvester said. The tool ensures the doctor has that information ahead of time, “so when you have that face time, it’s more focused.”

Cubs fans have to stop overreacting ...to streaks, Ian Happ, Kyle Schwarber... By David Haugh

Tribune News Service

f Cubs fans have learned anything from the premature canonization of Kyle Schwarber — as evidence mounts to the contrary — the Next Big Thing in a Cubs uniform will operate free of unfair exaggeration. Which, yes, is like asking for a Chicago winter without snow. Rookie Ian Happ deserves the right to develop without the weight of unrealistic expectations that not even Schwarber’s sturdy shoulders could bear. Yet after Happ hit two home runs Sunday night in a nationally televised June game against the Cardinals, comparisons to the famous Ryne Sandberg Game in 1984 started before they stopped selling beer in the bleachers. Those who insist everyone in town knows better forget how Schwarber’s burgeoning celebrity contributed, at least in part, to the Cubs’ reluctance to remove the man once compared to Babe Ruth from the lead-off spot despite Schwarber not hitting his weight. They ignore how somebody without Schwarber’s largerthan-life status probably would have been sent to the minors by now. Happ gives Cubs manager Joe Maddon another versatile weapon with some offensive pop and defensive limitations capable of playing several positions, all of them well enough to become a regular in the mode of a young Ben Zobrist. Period. One day, Happ might become something more or resemble someone else but, in the context of the 2017 Cubs, he fits as a role player whose emergence came at a good time for a struggling team. That doesn’t make Happ a savior as much as a solution, more pawn than king. That doesn’t make him the second coming of Sandberg as much as another Cubs firstround draft pick whose development is ahead of schedule. All of us have to stop overreacting to everything about the Cubs, a wish as unlikely to be met as any projection of Happ or Schwarber. A city that talks often about a World Series hangover occasionally still seems drunk from the victory party when it comes to the Cubs. This season could use a dose of perspective as badly as Maddon needs another starting pitcher. That means to stop looking at

The Color Guard stands on the field prior to Tuesday night’s game at Wrigley Field. @Cubs Schwarber home run as an I-Told-You-So and every strikeout as a See-What-IMean. To remember that Happ has been a major-leaguer for three weeks, in which he has received a curtain call and seen his batting average dip to .222. To let Jake Arrieta start a game without calculating how his velocity dip will affect his market value and not interpret every Cubs’ winning or losing streak as an indicator of October. That means to slow down in this post-Memorial Day phase of the season and let the Cubs settle into a period of opportunity. Monday’s series opener against the Marlins opened a stretch of 16 of the next 20 games against teams with records below .500. That includes the Padres, who just swept the Cubs in San Diego. But the team that returned to Wrigley Field for a weekend sweep of the Cardinals appeared to be one that had been awakened. Credit a players-only meeting in California if you want. Heap praise on Happ. Even regale in the weekend presence of David Ross, who really won’t

leave, will he? Or just realize that this period of early ups and downs for the Cubs represents the rule in baseball. If it helps, remove any preconceived notions about the 2017 Cubs. Try applying a fresh set of eyes to a different team full of talented young players prone to inconsistency with a starting rotation lacking depth like so many in the majors. If that sounds difficult, consider Maddon also struggled taking that approach. Maddon’s stubbornness on Schwarber, for example, came from applying 2016 expectations to 2017 reality. It began to look like the state of Illinois would get a budget before Maddon changed his mind on Schwarber but, eventually, the manager acquiesced. Assuming nothing about the Cubs moving forward not only will give Maddon an opportunity to tinker with his roster but a mandate, a daily challenge to find the right mix. The only certainties on his lineup card should be Kris Bryant at third base and Anthony Rizzo at first base. Beyond Bryzzo, the rest of the play-

ers are interchangeable parts, depending on matchups and hot streaks. Let Addison Russell and Javy Baez share shortstop. Move around Zobrist and Happ as necessary. Spell catcher Willson Contreras with veteran Miguel Montero, more to preserve Contreras for his first full season as a starter. Find more time for dependable defender Albert Almora, the forgotten one in the outfield, and keep Jon Jay, the ideal offseason acquisition, sharp. Platoon Schwarber until he proves he starts resembling a hitter again good enough for magazine covers. As long as closer Wade Davis quietly keeps saving games, keeping calm makes sense. President Theo Epstein will find another starter before July 31 and, by then, the Cubs likely will have discovered their rhythm in a division they easily should win. Once the Cubs make the playoffs, regardless of their regular-season record, no team will relish facing them. That much hasn’t changed. And that’s no exaggeration.

Brewers getting boost by striking first By Genaro C. Armas

AP Sports Writer

ILWAUKEE — The surprise leaders in the National League Central are off to a good start in part because of a penchant for taking early leads. While they might be a young team, the Milwaukee Brewers are eager to prove they can keep up with anybody. Maybe even set the pace, too. “That’s one thing (that coaches) preach, or any baseball team — early leads, and then keep holding them, keep adding on,” first baseman-outfielder Eric Thames said. Going into the game Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee led the majors with a .328 average in the first inning, when they outscored opponents 55-17. They had a lead in 50 of 58 games this season, most in the NL, including each of the last 11 games. The Brewers were tied atop the Central

with the World Series champion Chicago Cubs going into Tuesday. The benefits of being able to score first carry over when they go back on defense. Pitchers feel like they can be more aggressive working with a lead. On Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Thames homered in the first before Eric Sogard added an RBI single in the second to give starter Zach Davies an early 2-0 advantage. The right-hander finished with one of his best starts of the year , throwing threehit ball into the seventh inning of a 3-0 victory. Brewers starters are 5-1 with a 1.36 ERA over the last 11 games. “You get to pitch with the lead, you get to pitch with a team that’s ready to attack and that kind of translates into defense, too, so guys are ready to play,” Davies said. “You never really see this team flat, so it’s nice. It’s nice to see on both sides of the ball.” Sogard, a 31 year-old utility infielder

called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs last month, has given the Brewers a spark atop the lineup. Sogard is batting .444 with six runs, five RBIs and seven walks when starting as the leadoff hitter. Sogard has shown a penchant for working counts. Leading off on Sunday, he struck out after falling behind 0-2, but still managed to extend his at-bat to nine pitches. Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda left after throwing 92 pitches over four innings. At 30-28, the Brewers have benefited from slow starts by Chicago and St. Louis. They would be in fourth place if they were playing in the top-heavy NL West. The bullpen has been a problem of late. The latest meltdown occurred in the 7-2 loss Monday to San Francisco, when the Giants scored three earned runs in the final two innings against relievers Rob Scahill and Neftali Feliz. At the same time, the first two months of the season are a promising development for a franchise entering its second

full year of rebuilding. The minor-league system is filled with promising prospects. One of them, outfielder Brett Phillips, made his majorleague debut on Monday to fill a roster spot while third baseman Travis Shaw was on paternity leave. The first piece of the team’s potential future core, slick-fielding shortstop Orlando Arcia, has been a regular since being called up last summer. The youth is “a reason why we’ve created such good energy every day in the dugout. Those are all positives to me,” manager Craig Counsell said. According to Thames, when the Brewers hit rough patches, that energy helps keep the team looking forward. Last weekend, the Brewers bounced back from two tough losses to the Dodgers, in which the bullpen blew late leads, with the win Sunday and Davies’ stellar start. “Oh yeah man,” the often upbeat Thames said, “we’re legit.”
