CITY $8 MILLION DOWN

BUDGET TROUBLES COME HOME

Springﬁeld, Moody’s deal back-to-back blows

BY JIM HAGERTY CONTRIBUTOR

ROCKFORD — As if Rockford’s Finance Task Force didn’t have an already monumental task on its hands to close a looming $6.5 million budget gap, an across-theboard cut in Springfield will push the city even further into the red. B e c au s e t he L o c a l G over n ment Distributive Fund (LGDF) was reduced in the current state budget, the first in more than two years, municipalities will see an overall payout reduction of 10 percent. For Rockford, that’s a $1.8 million hit. That means a deficit of $8 million for the upcoming fiscal year. “It complicates things,” Rockford Finance Director Carrie Ecklund said. Ecklund said the additional shortfall could be especially tricky for the task force because the amount of that will a�ect Rockford is equal to what is usually allotted

for entire city departments. “It’s a more than some departments,” she said. “It’s our legal and HR departments combined. It might not seem like a small amount compared to $135 million, but it’s not an insignificant amount for us operationally because it translates to a significant number of sta�.” Making matters worse, Moody’s Investor Services Monday hit the city with a credit downgrade. That means borrowing money will come at a higher cost. “We had expected a change in this rating, as we know the financial challenges faced by the City are severe,” Mayor Tom McNamara said in a statement. Moody’s cited accelerated pension costs, the city’s operating deficit and growing operating expenses, and the inability to raise more revenues as concerns. However, the investment group did praise the city’s operating reserves.

But city o�cials say the one-two punch of the budget cut and the credit downgrade will impact hard, and that it’s early to tell what cuts the city will make in their wake or if layo�s could be the result. The finance task force is scheduled to bring its recommendations to the city in September. Members are reportedly eyeing a plan like the one implemented in 2009 when Rockford faced a $9 million deficit. “Obviously, their job is harder,” Ecklund said. “But now at least we know where the state has landed and we don’t have that uncertainty over our heads. We can plan for it even though it’s going to be painful.” McNamara says while he’s pleased a budget has finally been passed, the unwelcome prospect of adding to the city’s deficit makes it a tough pill to swallow, saying it “only makes our decisions that much more di�cult.” B e c au s e t he L o c a l G over n ment

Distributive Fund is not based on need but population, Gov. Bruce Rauner has long claimed it has encouraged overspending on the local level. In 2015, Rauner proposed cutting the LGDF by 50 percent, as part of his turnaround agenda. Earlier budget proposals this year had cuts of up to 25 percent for the fund. As it stands, slashes in towns with populations over 5,000 could save taxpayers $1.75 billion throughout the state. However, in some Illinois cities, reductions could result in wage reductions for police, ﬁre and other city employees. The new Illinois budget also calls for 2-percent sales tax administration fee that will be charged to local municipalities. Rockford is not the only mid-size city to feel the crunch. Aurora stands to lose around $2 million. In Joliet, LGDF slashes will represent $1.4 million. Orland Park is set to see around $500,000 in cuts. R.

CITY COUNCIL

Aldermen approve conference center development agreement BY JIM HAGERTY CONTRIBUTOR

CITY HALL — Rockford aldermen on Monday approved the development agreement for the regional convention center that will be connected to the long-awaited downtown Embassy Suites hotel. The vote was 9-4 in favor of the agreement to allow Rockford Local Development Corporation get the ball rolling on the $12.5 million conference center. The facility is part of the $77 million hotel that was ﬁrst approved in 2014 but revisited twice after Gov. Bruce Rauner took o�ce and nixed funding to bring an Amtrak line back to the city. The city will utilize new market tax credits on the project, something Gorman

A 6-WEEK PROGRAM

& Co. has been counting on as a signiﬁcant part of the capital stack for the past three years. Under the city’s agreement with the developer, Gorman will spend $64.5 million on the 150-plus room hotel portion of the project, ﬁnanced by a combination of EB-5 funds, loans and tax credits. Gorman & Co. is expected to begin construction on the hotel this fall. Aldermen Kevin Frost, R-4; Frank Beach, R-10; Tim Durkee, R-1; Joe Chiarelli, R-14 voted against the agreement. • In other city business, aldermen held a motion to approve the ordinance that would authorize the sale of alcohol in buildings owned by the Rockford Public Library. The library is seeking a permit pursuant to the Illinois Liquor Control Act, 235 ILCS 5/615.

Under the law, it is prohibited for alcohol to be sold or delivered in buildings owned by the state. The 1934 law, however, allows Rockford to issue a special use permit to allow sales of alcohol on library property. The measure has come before the city council after library leadership discovered it had been in violation of the act by serving alcohol during fundraising and cultural events for decades. Library spokesmen say they are not intending to ramp up alcohol sales at their facilities, only continue serving beer, wine and other drinks during the same events at properties like Nordlof Center without violating the law. No alcohol would be served around children.

The item comes before the city as crews begin the $33 million on the project that will see the library move to a temporary location on Church Street as the existing 114-year-old facility is replaced by a new one. The project is expected to be completed in three to ﬁve years. The city also approved the appointment of Marvin Hightower to a three-year term on the Community Action Advisory Board and the salary of $117,936 for Public Works Director Mark Stockman. 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.

State budget crisis

Big financial woes linger in new budget By Dave McKinney & Karen Pierog Reuters

Illinois’ first budget after two years is filled with partial outlines to address its debt-ridden pension system and unpaid bill backlog — signs that political fighting and the fiscal mess in the nation’s fifth-largest state are far from over. At least 15 House and Senate Republicans broke with first-term Republican Governor Bruce Rauner on Thursday and joined with Democrats to override Rauner’s vetoes of the state’s first budget package in more than two years. The $36 billion spending plan relies on a $5 billion tax increase that permanently hikes the flat personal income tax rate to 4.95 percent, up 32 percent from its prior 3.75 percent rate. To address the state’s nearly $15 billion in unpaid bills, Illinois depends heavily on borrowing. Lawmakers approved $6 billion of 12-year bonds to raise money

for repayments. But State Representative Greg Harris, the House Democrats’ point person on the budget, has acknowledged there is only enough revenue to support half of that borrowing amount. Illinois will also borrow up to $1.2 billion from various state accounts that have accumulated cash for specific purposes, while “sweeping” cash from other accounts —a government version of looking under couch cushions that is expected to yield $300 million. Illinois’ $130 billion pension liability is one of the largest in the nation, and the new budget takes only small steps to address the structural underfunding of Illinois’ five retirement systems. The new law gives the state five years to phase in changes retroactive to fiscal 2014 in actuarial or investment return assumptions made by the pension systems for an estimated savings of $892.1 million. Seemingly small changes in projected

investment results can have significant impact on a pension fund’s actuarial calculations. Last year, when the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System reduced its earnings assumption to 7 percent from 7.5 percent, the change caused a $660 million spike in the state’s fiscal 2018 contribution. The new budget attributes $500 million in savings to the creation of a new tier of pension beneficiaries. But that tier applies largely to newly hired employees, raising questions about how the state expects to book that savings in the current fiscal year. That estimate was lifted straight from the proposed budget presented by Rauner earlier this year. The projection has not been independently verified by legislative leaders, and Rauner’s office has not responded to requests for an explanation of how the estimate was calculated. The Illinois Education Association,

Airport facility payments a budget casualty ROCKFORD — Leaders in Springfield finally ended the state’s two-year budget impasse Thursday. But questions still linger as funds for local projects and spending were cut from the final bill. Democratic leaders overrode Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of a spending plan passed at the weekend. The General Assembly had been called into special session by the governor after a regular deadline to pass a budget had lapsed, sending the state into an unprecedented third year with no financial blueprint. While the budget will assure more than $77 million worth of infrastructure repairs in Rockford is not stopped, other stateline projects will take a hit. One is the Rockford airport’s AAR Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility.

As The Times first reported in February, funding for the project was already under threat. When dollars for the project were aligned in 2014 and 2015 by airport director Mike Dunn, more than $25 million relied on state funds. Not only was $15 million promised by former Gov. Pat Quinn before he was defeated by Rauner in 2014, but $10 million in federal funds was pegged to the availability of state dollars for the project. But that initial $15 million never materialized in any budget plan put forth over the last two years. “I’m confident that the state money will come in when the resources are available,” State Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, had told The Times in February. “The money will come in.”

Now that the state finally has a spending outline, the MRO isn’t included. That leaves a $25 million dollar funding gap to be paid for by Winnebago County taxpayers. More than $17 million in loans were obtained by Dunn in what was supposed to be a short-term financing plan to cover funding gaps and complete the project. Another $8 million was secured from the Winnebago County Board in the form of bonds. Repayments will now be covered by tax increases from the county and the airport authority. Lawmakers would have to approve a special appropriation outside the budget process to stem tax hikes for area residents. R. –A RockRiverTimes.com report

one of the state’s largest unions, said it has no evidence that its pensioners would be harmed by the new budget’s pension provisions. But the union questioned why lawmakers approved structural changes to pensions without an independent financial analysis. “It’s a little bit of a shot in the dark. For something this major, you’d think the legislators who are voting on this would want to know this information,” said Jim Reed, the union’s government relations director. A budget was welcomed as a positive step for Illinois, which still faces fiscal and pension crises. “The pension pressures will continue, and Illinois’ financial challenges will continue, but at least there will be a framework to recognize there’s a limit to the liability growth to this state,” said Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, a budget watchdog group. Steve Malanga, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute think tank, said the fixes in the new budget do not match up to the challenges faced by Illinois. “This is the kind of budget you would pass if you were a state that hit a bump in the road and had a deficit you needed to get rid of over the next two or three years,” he said. “It’s not the kind of budget you’d pass if you have $14 billion in unpaid bills and a $130 billion unfunded (pension) liability.” The Democrats and Republicans who voted for the budget did so at least in part to prevent Illinois from becoming the first U.S. state in history to see its credit rating fall to “junk” status. Moody’s last week put Illinois on review for a possible downgrade, but some of the state’s bonds traded higher on Friday, an apparent sign of optimism about the budget. Investment houses were still giving no indication early this week as to whether Illinois would face a downgrade to junk status.

LOVES PARK — Although Loves Park Police detectives are following up on leads in the missing person’s case of 25-year-old Emily Anderson, theories continue to crop up on social media. Among hundreds of Facebook threads about Emily’s whereabouts, ones that seem to shift the investigation outside of Rockford are ample. Sadly, they haven’t panned out. Anderson, an epileptic without her mediation, was seen reportedly seen in Freeport in late June. Police there have been alerted, but the sighting wasn’t deemed credible, nor was the report that an unknown person was seen driving her silver 2002 Pontiac Grand Am. Another false report is that Emily was at Slots of Fortune in Roscoe early Monday morning, June 19. Witnesses later said Anderson had not been there. Yet another witness who claimed he spotted her at Walmart that day had his days mixed up. Police were able to conclude that Emily’s last stop was at Steak ‘n’ Shake on Hwy. 173 in Machesney Park. She reportedly sent text messages to an unknown person after that. According to one Facebook thread, she texted a friend at around 5 a.m., June 19, saying she had been dropped o� at home. A comment in another thread indicated Emily texted a friend that she drove herself home. The veracity of those texts has not been verified. Close friends urged others to be on the lookout for Emily at Milwaukee’s Summerfest last weekend. They say because she is a fan of live music, Emily may have attended the festival; others feared Anderson was taken there by force. The popular event ended July 9, 20 days after Anderson disappeared. Still no sign of her. When a 14-year-old Chicago girl was rescued from human tra�ckers in Houston, it created some discussion about Anderson, although Emily does not fit the profile of a typical sex-tra�cking victim. Statics show that most victims in the $32 billion industry are between 12 and 14, and manipulated into the trade. A lot of girls are promised legitimate work in shops and restaurants and befriended by their abductors. They are often runaways, eased into prostitution by people they know before becoming sex slaves. Then there the rarities: girls snatched o� the streets when they least expect it and taken far from home to work the streets. That’s what Emily’s ex-boyfriend Mike Thall fears the most. “That has been something I have considered since day one,” Thall said.

Twenty-ﬁve-year-old Loves Park woman Emily Anderson has been missing since June 19. She was last seen at the Steak ‘n’ Shake on Hwy. 173 in Machesney Park. “Knowing she didn’t show up to her job with no call and no show after two days is something incredibly out of the ordinary with her. Illinois is No. 8 in the country for human tra�cking, and Rockford is No.2 in the state. This sort of thing can happen to anyone and it makes me fearful for my friend’s safety and all those around me. It makes me question my reality knowing that she’s gone like this without a trace.” Thall said he and friends have scoured the Rockford area looking for clues. It has been three weeks, and now that Emily is o�cially out of her epilepsy medication, time is not on anyone’s side. “We’ve searched local parks, state parks, forest preserves and drove through neighborhoods,” Thall said. “I still continue to keep my eyes open anywhere I go.” And although their relationship recently fell on di�cult times, and they haven’t spoken in weeks, Thall said he expects to remain Emily’s friend. For now, he just wants to know she is safe. “I would give anything and everything for her to come home safely. Literally anything,” he said.

Until then, the days have now turned into weeks, prompting more questions, including the one whether Emily may have harmed herself. Thall said he knows her well enough to dismiss that notion. “She wouldn’t dedicate herself to an extent where it could risk her own well-being,” he said. “She’s so much better than that.” After ﬁnishing her bartending shift a Shooter’s North, Emily was seen across the street at Neighbors Bar & Grill talking to friends. She then purchased food at Steak ‘n’ Shake. There is reportedly no surveillance cameras at the restaurant, so where Emily went from there remains a mystery. Anderson is 5-foot-5 and approximately 140 pounds. She has black hair, green eyes, piercings on her ears and nose, and tattoos on her chest and arms. She was last seen wearing black pants and a white shirt. Anyone with information is urged to call the Loves Park Police Department at 815-654-5015 during normal business hours. After hours tips can be shared by calling the Loves Park Police non-emergency number at 815-282-2600. R.

Arson Attacks

Investigation continues as lawsuits hit over fires DOWNTOWN – Officials continue to investigate a series of fires in Rockford that have been pegged as arsons. City investigators have called on state and federal partners to move the investigation along. Mayor Tom McNamara said last week that the city was using all its available resources to bring an end to the spate of suspected arsons. The string of blazes started in the afternoon of Sunday, June 25 with the former Hanley Furniture Building was engulfed in flames. The 301 S. Main St. structure was owned by Urban Equity Properties CEO Justin Fern’s Hanley Lofts LLC. While crews were still working to control the flames, Fern told The Times he was only carrying liability insurance on the building, which would not protect him from losses incurred by the fire. That has now become a point of fact in a number of court filings Wednesday. Midweek, Fern’s lawyer Jeff Orduno followed through on the promise of lawsuits for those he says defamed Fern, Hanley Lofts, and Urban Equity on social media. Nine suits were filed in county court, seeking $50,000 in damages from each defendant. Reached for comment Friday, Orduno said he hoped people would stop fanning

Crews clean up what’s left of a building on the 600 block of South 7th Street following what investigators say was an arson. Two other recent fires are also being treated at arsons. Photo, Jon McGinty the flames of misinformation. “I sued nine people on behalf of my clients,” Orduno said. “I’ll be suing more next week.” Orduno adds, “These people have

spewed uninformed, black-helicopter mumbo-jumbo. It’s hard for any one person to chime in to shut these people down, because they are self-righteous bullies who don’t respond to reason or worry

about actual facts (or, apparently, legal consequences).” And he says the problem a larger issue than just Fern’s particular case. “This problem is bigger than any one situation. The bigger issue is whether we, as a community, let people spread misinformation about others without consequence. For both ourselves and on behalf of all their victims, we’re done tolerating it.” Many of the persons slapped with lawsuits had repeatedly speculated that Fern intentionally set the fire to collect insurance money. Such comments continued despite reports indicating that Fern stood to lose his entire investment in Hanley. Fern’s companies will also be expected to repay the city for demolition of the structure, around $500,000. Investigators continue their work on Hanley and two buildings on South 7th Street. City officials told The Times that security camera footage had been recovered from two of the blazes and that they expected its thorough review to provide still more clues. Rockford Fire Division Chief Matt Knott and McNamara said last week that they have full confidence the investigation will come to a successful conclusion. R. –A RockRiverTimes.com report

Regional News

Wisconsin’s budget picture worsens due to Illinois tax hike By Scott Bauer Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s state budget impasse just got $51 million harder to solve thanks to the tax increases that neighboring Illinois enacted to finally pass its spending plan, state lawmakers learned Tuesday. The hit to Wisconsin comes because of higher income tax credits that people who live in Wisconsin and work in Illinois will be able to file, the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau said. Wisconsin will also have to make higher payments to Illinois under an income tax reciprocity deal, the Fiscal Bureau said. The bad news came as private talks among Republicans about how to plug a $1 billion road-funding shortfall showed few signs of progress. Republican legislative leaders and Gov. Scott Walker were scheduled to talk for the first time in two weeks on Wednesday. Under the reciprocity agreement, people who live in Wisconsin but work in Illinois only file taxes in Wisconsin. The state then pays Illinois the difference of what would have been owed. Because taxes are going up in Illinois, the state’s payment under

that deal will increase by more than $20 million, the Fiscal Bureau said. The Illinois tax changes will also result in Wisconsin residents claiming $31 million more in credits for taxes paid in other states, the Fiscal Bureau said. Republican leaders tried to put a positive spin on the news. “We’ll make that up thanks to the influx of businesses and people moving from IL to WI,” Republican Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke tweeted. Still, Wisconsin Republicans can’t reach a deal on passing their budget. Senate Republicans continue to refuse to go along with Assembly Republicans’ call for higher gas taxes or vehicle fees to help pay for borrowing to keep road projects on track. Walker has promised to veto a gas tax increase, and last week said he’d be willing to lower borrowing by $200 million and ask the federal government for $341 million to help broker a deal. Whether to increase revenue to help pay for roads — which Walker and Senate Republicans oppose — has been the biggest impediment in the nearly two-week delay in reaching a budget deal. Wisconsin, along with Rhode Island and Connecticut, are the

only states that had a July 1 deadline and have not yet passed a budget. The funding of Wisconsin state government operations, like prisons, Medicaid, the University of Wisconsin and K-12 schools, will continue at its current levels until a new budget is signed into law. Senate Republicans initially said they wanted to borrow $850 million for roads, but last week Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said it was down to $750 million. “We’re whittling that down, it may even be less than that,” Fitzgerald said Tuesday, declining to say how much less. But Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said without a way to pay off the borrowing, any higher amount will run into opposition from Assembly Republicans. “It’s not the level of borrowing, it’s the ability to pay off the credit card,” Vos said. “The most common sense compromise to

me is a little bit of borrowing and a little bit of spending to pay for it.” Vos reiterated that Assembly Republicans would vote to keep the roads budget flat rather than approve more borrowing without revenue increases. Doing that could result in major delays in ongoing work on major interstate projects, particularly in southeast Wisconsin. Fitzgerald said he hopes to continue negotiating with Assembly Republicans and not take the unprecedented step of having the Senate pass its own spending plan. But he also said there’s little left for Senate Republicans to discuss. “I know after next week it’s going to be hard to maintain the illusion that the Senate caucus is in the room trying to develop further strategies because we’re running out of things to do,” Fitzgerald said.

REGULATORY BLACK OPS

NATION & WORLD

Trump has secretive teams to roll back regulations, led by hires with deep industry ties BY ROBERT FATURECHI PROPUBLICA

& DANIELLE IVORY THE NEW YORK TIMES

President Trump entered o�ce pledging to cut red tape, and within weeks, he ordered his administration to assemble teams to aggressively scale back government regulations. But the e�ort — a signature theme in Trump’s populist campaign for the White House — is being conducted in large part out of public view and often by political appointees with deep industry ties and potential conflicts. Most government agencies have declined to disclose information about their deregulation teams. But ProPublica and The New York Times identified 71 appointees, including 28 with potential conflicts, through interviews, public records and documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Some appointees are reviewing rules their previous employers sought to weaken or kill, and at least two may be positioned to profit if certain regulations are undone. The appointees include lawyers who have represented businesses in cases against government regulators, sta� members of political dark money groups, employees of industry-funded organizations opposed to environmental rules and at least three people who were registered to lobby the agencies they now work for. At the Education Department alone, t wo members of the dereg ulat ion team were most recently employed by pro-charter advocacy groups or operators, and one appointee was an executive handling regulatory issues at a for-profit college operator. So far, the process has been scattershot. Some agencies have been soliciting public feedback, while others refuse even to disclose who is in charge of the review. In many cases, responses to public records requests have been denied, delayed or severely redacted. The Interior Department has not disclosed the correspondence and calendars for its team. But a review of more than 1,300 pages of handwritten sign-in sheets for guests visiting the agency’s headquarters in Washington found that appointees had met regularly with industry representatives. Over a four-month period, from February through May, at least 58 representatives of the oil and gas industry signed their names on the agency’s visitor logs before meeting with appointees.

The Trump administration contains many appointees with potential conflicts of interest, including two who might personally profit if particular regulations are undone. The EPA also rejected requests to release the appointment calendar of the o�cial leading its team — a former top executive for an industry-funded political group — even as she met privately with industry representatives. And the Defense Department and the Department of Homeland Security provided the titles for most appointees to their review teams, but not names. When asked for comment about the activities of the deregulation teams, the White House referred reporters to the O�ce of Management and Budget. Meghan Burris, a spokeswoman there, said: “As previous administrations have recognized, it’s good government to periodically reassess existing regulations. Past regulatory review e�orts, however, have not taken a consistent enough look at regulations on the books.” With billions of dollars at stake in the push to deregulate, corporations and other industry groups are hiring lawyers, lobbyists and economists to help navigate this new avenue for influence. Getting to the front of the line is crucial, as it can take years to e�ect regulatory changes. “Competition will be fierce,” the law firm Clark Hill, which represents businesses pitching the Environmental Protection Agency, said in a marketing memo. “In all likelihood, interested parties will need to develop a multi-pronged strategy to

expand support and win pre-eminence over competing regulatory rollback candidates.” Jane Luxton, a lawyer at the ﬁrm, said she advised clients to pay for economic and legal analyses that government agencies, short on sta�, could use to expedite changes. She declined to identify the clients. “You may say this is an agency’s job, but the agencies are totally overloaded,” Luxton said.

...

On a cloudy, humid day in March, Laura Peterson, a top lobbyist for Syngenta, arrived at the headquarters for the Interior Department. She looped the letter “L” across the agency’s sign-in sheet. Her company, a top pesticide maker based in Switzerland, had spent eight years and millions of dollars lobbying the Obama administration on environmental rules, with limited success. But Peterson had an in with the new administration. Scott Cameron, newly installed at the Interior Department and a member of its deregulation team, had just left a nonprofit he had founded. He had advocated getting pesticides approved and out to market faster. His group counted Syngenta as a financial partner. The meeting with Peterson was one of the first Cameron took as a new govern-

ment o�cial. Neither side would reveal what was discussed. “I’m not sure that’s reporting information I have to give you,” Peterson said. But lobbying records o�ered clues. Syngenta has been one of several pesticide manufacturers pushing for changes to the Endangered Species Act. When federal agencies take actions that may jeopardize endangered animals or plants, they are generally supposed to consult with the Interior Department, which could raise objections. For decades, the EPA largely ignored this provision when approving new pesticides. But recently, a legal challenge from environmental groups forced its hand — a change that a�ected Syngenta. Pesticide lobbyists have been working behind the scenes at agencies and on Capitol Hill to change the provision. Companies have argued that they should be exempt from consulting with the Interior Department because they already undergo EPA approval. Along with spending millions of dollars on lobbying, they have funded advocacy groups aligned with their cause. Cameron’s nonproﬁt, the Reduce Risks From Invasive Species Coalition, was one such group for Syngenta. The organization says on its website that its goals include reducing “the regulatory burden of the Endangered Species Act on American society by addressing invasive species.” One way to do that is to use pesticides. The nonproﬁt’s mission includes creating “business opportunities for commercial products and services used to control invasive species.” Because donations are not publicly reported, it is unclear how much Syngenta has contributed to Cameron’s organization, but his group has called the pesticide company one of its “generous sponsors.” Cameron also served on a committee of experts and stakeholders, including Syngenta, that advised the federal government on decisions related to invasive species. At a committee event last July, he said that one of his priorities was “getting biocontrol agents to market faster,” according to meeting minutes. Paul Minehart, a Syngenta spokesman, said: “Employees regularly engage with those in government that relate to agriculture and our business. Our purpose is to balance serving the public health and environment with enabling farmers’ access to innovation.” Continued on Next Page >>>

Under the law, members of the Trump administration can seek ethics waivers to work on issues that overlap with their past business careers. They can also formally recuse themselves when potential conflicts arise. In many cases, the administration has refused to say whether appointees to Trump’s deregulation teams have done either. One such appointee is Samantha Dravis, the chairwoman of the deregulation team at the EPA, who was a top official at the Republican Attorneys General Association. Dravis was also president of the Rule of Law Defense Fund, which brought together energy companies and Republican attorneys general to file lawsuits against the federal government over Obama-era environmental regulations. The Republican association’s work has been criticized as a vehicle for corporate donors to gain the credibility and expertise of state attorneys general in fighting federal regulations. Donors include the American Petroleum Institute, the energy company ConocoPhillips and the coal giant Alpha Natural Resources. The Republican association also received funding from Freedom Partners, backed by the conservative billionaires Charles G. and David H. Koch. Dravis worked for that group as well, which recently identified regulations it wants eliminated. Among them are EPA rules relating to clean-water protections and restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. Liz Bowman, an EPA spokeswoman, declined to say whether Dravis had recused herself from issues dealing with previous employers or their backers, or had discussed regulations with any of them. “As you will find when you receive Samantha’s calendar, she has met with a range of stakeholders, including nonprofits, industry groups and others, on a wide range of issues,” Bowman said. Bowman said the calendar could be obtained through a public records request. ProPublica and The Times had already filed a request for records including calendars, but the agency’s response did not include those documents. (An appeal was filed, but the calendar has not yet been released.) “We take our ethics responsibilities seriously,” Bowman said. “All political staff have had an ethics briefing and know their obligations.” Addressing the agency’s regulatory efforts, she said, “We are here to enact a positive environmental agenda that provides real results to the American

President Trump signed an executive order in February requiring federal agencies to form deregulation teams, many of which are now staffed by political appointees with potential conflicts. AP people, without unnecessarily hamstringing our economy.” At the Agriculture Department, the only known appointee to the deregulation team is Rebeckah Adcock. She previously lobbied the department as a top executive both at CropLife America, a trade association for pesticide makers, and the American Farm Bureau Federation, a trade group for farmers. The department deals with many issues involving farmers, including crop insurance and land conservation rules, but it would not disclose whether Adcock had recused herself from discussions affecting her past employers. At the Energy Department, a member of the deregulation team is Brian McCormack, who formerly handled political and external affairs for Edison Electric Institute, a trade association representing investor-owned electrical utilities. While there, McCormack worked with the American Legislative Exchange Council, an industry-funded group. Both organizations fought against rooftop solar policies in statehouses across the country. Utility companies lose money when customers generate their own power, even more so when they are required to pay consumers who send surplus energy back into the grid. Though the Energy Department does not directly regulate electrical utilities, it does help oversee international electricity trade, the promotion of renewable energy and the security of domestic energy production. After joining the department, McCormack helped start a review of the nation’s electrical grid, according to an agency memo. Clean-energy advocates fear the inquiry will cast solar energy, which can fluctuate,

as a threat to grid reliability. Such a finding could scare off state public utility commissions considering solar policies and serve as a boon for electrical utilities, said Matt Kasper, research director at the Energy and Policy Institute, an environmental group. Disclosure records show that while McCormack was at Edison, the trade group lobbied the federal government, including the Energy Department, on issues including grid reliability. The department would not answer questions about McCormack’s involvement with those issues. Across the government, at least two appointees to deregulation teams have been granted waivers from ethics rules related to prior jobs, and at least nine others have pledged to recuse themselves from issues related to former employers or clients. Some of the recusals involve appointees at the Small Business Administration and the Education Department, including Bob Eitel, who leads the education team and was vice president for regulatory legal services at an operator of for-profit colleges. Another recusal involves Byron Brown, an EPA appointee who is married to a senior government affairs manager for the Hess Corporation, the oil and gas company. Hess was fined and ordered to spend more than $45 million on pollution controls by the EPA during the Obama administration because of alleged Clean Air Act violations at its refinery in Port Reading, N.J. Disclosure records show that Brown’s wife, Lesley Schaaff, lobbied the EPA last year on behalf of the company. An EPA spokeswoman declined to say whether Brown or Schaaff owned Hess stock, though an agency ethics official said Brown had recused himself from evalu-

ating regulations affecting the company. The agency declined to say whether Brown would also recuse himself from issues affecting the American Petroleum Institute, where his wife’s company is a member. The association has lobbied to ease Obama-era natural gas rules, complaining in a recent letter to Brown’s team about an “unprecedented level of federal regulatory actions targeting our industry.” Before being selected to lead the deregulation team at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Maren Kasper was a director at Roofstock, an online marketplace for investors in single-family rental properties. Financial disclosure records show Kasper owned a stake in the company worth up to $50,000. Changes at HUD could increase investor interest in rental homes, affecting a company like Roofstock. The agency, for example, oversees the federal government’s Section 8 subsidies program for low-income renters. Ethics officials allowed Kasper to keep her stake, but she pledged not to take actions that would affect it. (A spokesman for HUD said Kasper’s tenure on the deregulation task force has since ended.)

... One by one, scientists, educators and environmental activists approached the microphone and urged government officials not to weaken regulations intended to protect children from lead. The forum, run by the EPA in a drab basement meeting room in Washington, was part of the agency’s push to identify regulations that were excessive and burdensome to businesses. Few businesspeople showed up. As public hearings on regulations have played out in recent weeks, many industry and corporate representatives have instead met with Trump administration officials behind closed doors. Still, the EPA has asked for written comments and held about a dozen public meetings. The agency has received more than 467,000 comments, many of them critical of potential rollbacks, but also some from businesses large and small pleading for relief from regulatory costs or confusion. After a quiet moment at the meeting to discuss lead regulations, the owner of a local painting company, Brian McCracken, moved to the microphone. McCracken was frustrated by what he described as costly rules that forced him to test for lead-based paint in homes before he could begin painting. Each test kit costs about $2, and he may need six per room. If a family then declines to hire him, those costs come out of his pocket. “I don’t think anyone is sitting here saying that lead-based dust does not hurt children,” he said. “That’s not what we are

July 12, 2017 The Rock River Times. talking about. What the contractor needs is a better way to test.” His voice quavered: “Why do I have to educate the general public about the hazards that generations before me created? It doesn’t make sense at all.” Trump is not the first president to take on such frustrations. President Bill Clinton declared the federal government was failing to regulate “without imposing unacceptable or unreasonable costs on society.” He assigned Vice President Al Gore to collect agencies’ suggestions for rules that should go. One rule dictated how to measure the consistency of grits. President George W. Bush’s regulatory overhaul focused more on how new regulations were created. The administration installed a political appointee inside each agency who generally had to sign off before any significant new rule could be initiated. At the EPA for a time, that official came from an industry-funded think tank. President Barack Obama ordered regular updates from each agency about the effectiveness of rules already on the books. “When you raise the profile, when it’s clearly an executive priority, it gets attention,” said Heather Krause, director of strategic issues at the Government Accountability Office, the main auditor of the federal government. According to the auditor’s analysis, the effect under Obama was mostly to clarify and streamline rules, not eliminate them.

Like Bush, Trump has empowered political appointees. Though some agencies have included career staff members on their review teams, an executive order from Trump creating the teams does not require it — nonpolitical employees are generally believed to be more wedded to existing rules. And like Obama, Trump has imposed regular reporting requirements. But Trump, who spent his business career on the other side of government regulations, has put an emphasis on cutting old rules. The same day he signed the executive order initiating the review, he addressed a large crowd of conservative activists at a Maryland convention center. “We have begun a historic program to reduce the regulations that are crushing our economy — crushing,” Trump said. “We’re going to put the regulations industry out of work and out of business.” Amit Narang, a regulatory expert at the liberal advocacy group Public Citizen, said Trump’s decision to create teams of political appointees — formally known as regulatory reform task forces — should make it easier for the White House to overcome bureaucratic resistance to his rollback plans. “To the extent there’s a deep state effect in this administration,” Narang said, “the task force will be more effective in trying to get the agenda in place.” The New York Times’ Kitty Bennett contributed reporting to this story.

Dealing with heat and humidity By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

With this year’s Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair coming August 19-20, we are always concerned about what the weather conditions will be like during the summer event. Attendance is hurt by extreme storms con or intense heat and humidity. With covered roofs for workshops and displays rain per se is not a major problem. With multiple fans in the buildings even heat waves are tolerable. Such weather concerns are short-term conditions in contrast to long-term impacts of climate change. During heat waves, demand for air conditioning can rise to a peak that can exceed the grid’s ability to deliver power leading to a temporary collapse of service. With smart meters now widely deployed throughout ComEd’s service territory the utility has increased its ability to manage the electrical load including times of peak demand. In a heat wave where automated demand response devices are installed, the utility can send a signal to turn off an air conditioner unit for 15 minutes and back on allowing a building’s temperature to rise by a degree or two. If the load reduction is spread across a large number of homes it amounts to a massive reduction in demand for electrical service can be quickly implemented. While customers will experience a degree or two higher temperatures in their buildings, a massive blackout across the entire region can be avoided. Demand response devices can also shift the time at which appliances are used. Rather than turning on electric dryers at 2 p.m. on a hot day they could be set to operate at a later time to reduce peak load. With commercial and industrial customers, agreements can be made for similar shifts in demand with prior notification. All of these shifts can occur far more quickly than bringing another

electrical generating facility into service. With the promise of large-scale energy storage facilities, additional supplies could be provided without any major disruption in energy services for several hours. Beyond short-term solutions to meeting peak demand are the benefits from upgrading efficiency across the full spectrum of energy services. Improved insulation in homes and buildings, more energy efficient appliances, switching to hybrid or electric transportation sources offer years of reduced energy consumption and financial savings. The need to address climate change will require an ongoing transition to cleaner sources of energy such as solar and wind as well as continuous progress in energy efficiency. In Illinois over the next decades, we can expect increases in days of stagnant air masses, extreme heat, and both increased days of drought and increased days of flooding and more intense storms. For individuals, these challenges also require changes in personal behavior to protect personal health by avoiding heat stress by limiting physical activity on hot, humid days and drinking enough water to replace what is lost during such times. Particularly vulnerable are people 65-and-older, children 5-and-under and others with health conditions which increase their vulnerability to hot, humid weather. Plan to attend this year’s Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair and discover additional ideas on how to reduce energy use, secure clean energy supplies and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle while lowering energy bills. The major sponsor of the Fair is the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation. We appreciate the support of The Rock River Times. R. Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl are the President and Vice President of the Illinois Renewable Energy Association.

Search turns up no additional Asian carp A two-week search turned up no additional Asian carp in a Chicago waterway where one of the invasive fish recently was found beyond an electric barrier network designed to prevent them from reaching the Great Lakes, officials said Monday. Teams were deployed after a commercial fisherman’s capture June 22 of a silver carp, one of the species native to Asia that have infested the Illinois River and advanced on Lake Michigan. The 28-inch, 8-pound fish was only the second live Asian carp ever caught past the barriers, giving fresh ammunition to critics who question the effectiveness of the government’s strategy

for protecting the lakes. Scientists are still examining the fish carcass to determine where it came from, said Kevin Irons, aquatic nuisance species program manager for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. But he and other officials said they were convinced its discovery just 9 miles from Lake Michigan did not mean large numbers of Asian carp had breached the defenses. “It’s definitely an outlier,” said Charlie Wooley, Midwest deputy regional director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “There’s a tremendous amount of relief.” –Associated Press

Annual Rock River Off-Season Competition gives back

Giving back and growth highlight the fifth annual Rock River O�-season Competition (R2OC), a premier robotics event presented by UTC Aerospace Systems and Woodward. Under the stewardship of a local nonprofit volunteer board and committee, R2OC, a certified 501(c)(3) organization, will for the first time o�er up to four $1,000 scholarships to 2017 R2OC student participants—a $4,000 total commitment split evenly between R2OC and Rock Valley College Foundation—in addition to as much as $7,000 in grant funding courtesy of R2OC for robotics start-up expenses for grade school and middle school programming in Boone, Stephenson and Winnebago counties. The R2OC scholarship application process was open for student participants graduating in 2017 or 2018, and the winning recipients will be announced at the 2017 event, which is slated for Saturday, July 29, at the Rock Valley College PE Center. “The R2OC Committee is ecstatic to bring this prestigious youth showcase back for a fifth year, and we’re particularly excited about being in a position to give back to area youth through grants and the event’s attendees through scholarships,” says Karen Hill, R2OC co-chair. “The students competing in this event are our future workforce, and our five local teams now have alumni interning or working at manufacturers in the Rock River Valley. R2OC is a phenomenal organization for our community and it’s a pleasure to work alongside so many talented students and partners.”

RVC Foundation allocated up to $2,000 of additional scholarship funds after R2OC announced the event’s scholarship program. “For five years, Rock Valley College has been a key partner of R2OC, and it is only fitting that the RVC Foundation has o�ered further scholarship opportunity for participating kids,” says Chris Magee, R2OC co-chair. “R2OC has been fortunate to have received such great support from our community’s educational and corporate base, and that has been integral in building a nonprofit organization that can give back in so many ways.” Thanks to that strong local support and careful budgeting, R2OC is also working with FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) in establishing up to $7,000 in grant funding this year that is earmarked specifically for supporting the long-term growth and health of robotics programming in the three counties represented by the event’s five host teams: Flaming Monkeys from Belvidere, Metalheads from Freeport, Rockford Robotics, Stateline Robotics from Rockton, and Winnovation from Winnebago and Pecatonica. All school districts within these three counties that are interested in developing robotics programming for grades K-8 are encouraged to contact grants@R2OC.org about this financial assistance opportunity. After a highly successful first four years, the 2017 R2OC will feature 36 teams from the Midwest.

Ogle County oil, antifreeze recycling, Aug. 12

Automobile and lawn equipment maintenance have gotten much more complicated over recent years, however, changing the oil is something many do-it-yourselfers still do. But what do you do with the used motor oil and ﬁlters? The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD), is working with the Illinois Recovery Group, Inc. (IRG), out of Braceville, Illinois, to conduct an oil and antifreeze recycling event on Saturday, August 12, from 8 a.m. to noon at 909 Pines Road in Oregon. Ogle County residents and farmers can bring in large barrels of used motor oil (up to 4 barrels or 200 gallons maximum per visitor) or small containers of oil, which will be bulked together and recovered. IRG will be on hand with a vacuum truck to pump the used oil and antifreeze into their specialized truck. All containers and jugs used to transport oil or antifreeze must be taken back by participants and reused or disposed of with regular trash pickup. If you have any questions about this event, or have more than 200 gallons of oil to be recycled, please call OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 or visit oglecounty.org. –OCSWMD Let us know what your company or organization is doing.

Commentary

Nothing ended last week By Rich Miller

Capitol Fax

fter years of ugly gridlock and weeks of groups and political leaders whipping up an already-disgusted populace over a 1.2 percentage point income tax increase, lots of legislators were understandably on edge last week. Rep. Will Guzzardi, D-Chicago, tweeted ahead of the votes to override Gov. Bruce Rauner’s vetoes of a budget package that it was “hard not to think about the (recent Virginia) congressional shooting showing up to work today.” And so people were naturally a bit rattled when a woman triggered a more than two-hour delay of those override votes as police and a hazardous materials team frantically combed the Statehouse. The woman, described by a friend as a “wonderful” person and “beloved” by many, threw some sort of substance at or into a few offices, including the governor’s. A couple of her friends said she might have been attempting to perform a “good luck” ritual. Depending on your outlook, her possible good luck ritual either worked or failed. We now have a tax increase and a sort of balanced budget, and everyone can take a breather for a while. On the other hand, we now have a tax increase and a sort of balanced budget that are fabulously unpopular and will require more work to fix. Next fiscal year’s budget is really not going to be pretty, but trouble will start even before then. Moody’s already has declared that it could downgrade the state to junk bond status even with the tax increase. If that happens, it will damage the government’s ability to borrow to pay off some of the $15 billion

in debt that has been piling up during the two-year impasse. And even if Illinois isn’t immediately downgraded, the state will hover on the precipice of junk status for the foreseeable future, perhaps for years. There just isn’t enough money on the revenue side of this plan and too much on the spending side to ensure balanced budgets into the future and to pay off that mountain of backlogged bills. What lawmakers did was fix the state government’s immediate problem. A broader deal would have been preferable, but that obviously wasn’t possible. And there isn’t a person around Rauner who doesn’t think that he now has a dual political advantage of new state revenues

to spend along with his popular opposition to the tax increase. So, now what? There’s a belief by some that House Speaker Michael Madigan has the very thing he has wanted for more than two years: A working bipartisan super-majority to override the governor at will. But that, I think, is a misinterpretation of what happened. Madigan didn’t create that super-majority, his members did. If it had been left up to Madigan alone, the tax increase probably would have failed. His members were the ones who reached out to their Republican colleagues to negotiate a budget and a tax increase. And when Madigan tried to send them home for a few days, they insisted he

Two things I would point out: 1) At the risk of sounding like Donald Trump, people use cell phones to video commotion, conflict and chaos; and 2) For those with retail businesses: people ‘vote with their pocketbook.’ I regret to say I’m so troubled by the withering onslaught that I plan to alter my spending habits. With the exception of the Hanley Bldg. and other suspicious fires in Rockford

and Loves Park over the past weeks, our downtown community is off to a great start in 2017: A clear mandate for our collaborative and transparent new mayor; The 4-star hotel and conference center destined for the Ziock-Amerock Building is scheduled to begin shortly; and Burnham Lofts (in the former Trust Building) are close to fully leased after only 4 months.

keep the House in session and call the votes. When Republicans started dropping off the roll call last week after taking tremendous heat, Madigan could have let the override fail and made Rauner be forever tagged as “Gov. Junk.” But his members wanted it to pass, so he rounded up more Democratic votes, including a couple of his own targets — something that never happens in that caucus. Madigan’s members will be hugely important to any further veto overrides, but those breakaway House Republicans will be even more crucial. And that leads us to the education funding reform bill. As I write this, the Senate has not sent the bill to the governor, who has vowed to veto what he calls a “Chicago bailout.” While that bill helps more truly needy districts in the long run than the governor’s plan, it does contain more money for Chicago Public Schools. After taking unimaginable heat for voting for a tax increase, it seems doubtful that those same 10 Republicans will then turn around and vote for a “Chicago bailout” that will be portrayed as stealing money from their own students. Without those votes, a veto can’t be overridden. Both the Democratic and Republican school funding plans require state aid to be distributed via a new formula. No new formula, no school funding. No school funding, lots of schools don’t open after summer vacation. And just like that, we’re in another full-blown crisis. Maybe that woman could be brought back to the Statehouse for another good luck ceremony, only without the haz-mat teams this time. Read Rich’s daily briefings from Springfield at capitolfax.com.

Letter to the Editor To the “Nattering Nabobs of Negativism” (Vice President Spiro Agnew) at work in Rockford : Facing a threatened lawsuit, some of you have retracted libelous social media comments. Meanwhile you continue with scurrilous criticism of key decision-makers related to the fire in the Hanley Building. When someone pushes back, you explode all over them, complete with unrelated threats aimed at the dissenters.

Please accept the heartfelt expressions of sympathy from your fellow citizens, pursue available government support to help you recover, invite your friends and neighbors to ‘roll up their sleeves’ and direct your energy to getting back into the mainstream!

Lost venues: The Rockford Armory This week’s Rockford Rocked Interview is all about your memories of one of Rockford’s great lost music venues, the historic Rockford Armory. Built during the 1930s, the armory housed the Illinois National Guard

through 1993. Over the years, a number of concerts, political rallies, dances and sporting events passed through the armory. In 2000, the building was designated landmark and placed on the National

Register of Historic Places. The armory was purchased by the City of Rockford in 2006 and currently sits empty at its home on North Main Street. Here are your memories of the Rockford Armory, as told to our own Todd Houston. R.

The Armory was one of my favorite places to see a concert. Saw so many bands there: Rush, The Godz, Leslie West, Angel — so many I can’t even remember! –Rick Burrington I remember going there for “sock hops”. So much fun. –Johnson Ronald I absolutely loved the armory. I went to my first concert there; it was Badfinger. I was hooked on concerts after that. What a great place that was. Lots of great concerts, lots of great memories. –William Kingrey My dad played basketball there seems like a few times a week back in the 70’s. My brother and I had a blast investigating all the hallways and playing on the stage. –R Scott Gentz That was a fun place to see bands. No designated seating allowed you to move to the front. Had my elbows on the stage at several concerts there. –Gary Patton The Esquires played a full house show at the Armory in the mid 70s. –Dana Buck The band Angel played there. They all came out in these boxes that opened up with fog and lights. I remember one of the boxes had a malfunction. Very Spinal Tap. –Don Lowe <<< I saw Kiss and Rush there in 1975, right in the front! –Randy Thompson I saw ZZ Top there. Status Quo was supposed to open but couldn’t make it that night, a band called Zazzo took their place. –Bob Kampmeier My first concert was Badfinger at the armory. I was a student at Washington Jr. High School and our teacher, Mr. Barnes, got us all tickets for the concert. It was awesome. REO Speedwagon and Pure Prairie League were the opening groups. –Sharon Davis Harradine Gary Wilmer and I produced/promoted some concerts there. We were 21!

FILM REVIEW

Spider-Man ﬁnally back at home BY THOMAS SIMPSON CONTRIBUTOR

Reboots tend to strike fear into audiences, especially when said movie franchise was only given a rebrand five years ago. Andrew Garfield may have made a good Spider-Man but when Marvel looked to borrow the webslinger from Sony so they could slot him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the decision was made to recast. Garfield was gone, replaced by Tom Holland who won over fans and critics in Captain America: Civil War. People were hungry to see more of this incarnation which brings us to the aptly titled Spider-Man: Homecoming. Co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, and distributed by Sony Pictures, it’s the third reboot of the film franchise since Sam Raimi’s 2002 SpiderMan starring Toby Maguire. Many weren’t happy with a recasting only five years after Spider-Man 3, but this version has been more welcomed due to Marvel’s involvement. Rather than tell the tale we’ll all familiar with, we start the movie with Uncle Ben already dead and Peter Parker (Tom Holland) already having his powers. On

top of that, he’s already been a low-key Spider-Man for a while, as explained in Civil War. Tony Stark Aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is Peter’s self-appointed tutor, gifting him an advanced suit to help him become the hero he knows he can be. It’s not before long that Peter bites o� more than he can chew when he finds himself up against arms dealer Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton), soon to be known as supervillain Vulture. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a clever origin story that ticks most of the boxes required yet remains fresh. We have Peter learning his powers and making mistakes as he becomes the polished hero. What we’re not subjected to is the tired story of how he got from A to B and the film is better for it, allowing it to hit the ground running. Holland is excellent as Peter/SpiderMan, exuding a brash cockiness with a gentle heart. All he wants to be is a superhero but he’s not willing to earn his stripes. His eagerness to impress leads to more trouble and creates brilliant conflict between him and Stark, with Downey Jr. imbuing the role with a maturity we haven’t seen in the character. As Peter learns to be a hero, he also has to balance it with the social awkwardness of high school. Director Jon Watts takes influence from John Hughes’s movies, creating a perfect high school comedy that happens to be hiding in a comic book movie. The humor is appealing and allows the writers to have some fun with the character, most notably when Spider-Man is stuck in the suburbs and lacks the tall buildings to swing from. The jokes about Marissa Tomei’s Aunt May pick up where

they left o� in Civil War, poking fun at the backlash the casting caused. The supporting cast brings plenty of laughs including John Favreau reprising his role as Happy Hogan and Peter’s best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) proving to be a useful sidekick. The most intriguing character is Zendaya’s Michelle who steals each scene she’s in and her relationship with Peter o�ers something di�erent to the franchise. It’s a new take in familiar chemistry. No good guy is complete without his enemy, and Michael Keaton is outstand-

ing as Toomes. The writers do a great job at layering the villain to present more than a one-dimensional bad guy. His motives are pure, even if his tendencies are evil. Keaton looks like he’s having the time of his life as he maliciously grins his way through the film creating a menacing and memorable character. The hopes were high for Spider-Man: Homecoming and it doesn’t disappoint. It appeals to first-timers unfamiliar with him while avoiding telling the same old story to older fans, especially those that have seen the character recast more than once since 2002. Although a Sony movie in name, this is definitely a Marvel film that slots easily into the MCU. Welcome home Spidey, it’s been a long time coming but the wait has been worth it. R.

RACVB VIEW

Enjoy Rockford’s vibrant live music scene BY ANNA MARTENSEN FOR THE ROCK RIVER TIMES

What is better than listening to live music with your friends and family in the town you love? When it comes to music, I am a fanatic. I absolutely love discovering new music and more importantly I enjoy sharing my ﬁndings with everyone else. Just recently, I joined my brothers and their friends at the District for their Block Party event. The event hosted a band called Here Come the Mummies, which I was clueless about. I was a little unsure about the band due to them being unfamiliar, but after hearing them perform live I instantly became a fan. Live music in my opinion is better than recorded music for these three reasons: 1) You have the capability of discovering new music and aspiring artists. 2) It gives you the opportunity to experience an artist’s passion. 3) It forces you to get up out of your house and socialize, instead of putting your headphones on. Rockford o�ers many live music venues throughout the year as well as some pretty cool venues during the summer. You can enjoy local and traveling artists not only on the weekends, but throughout the week. If you love live music as much as I do, I suggest you check out these venues that have become somewhat famous around the Forest City. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Prairie Street Brewing Co.

Prairie Street Brewhouse has an amazing atmosphere within itself because of their delicious food, refreshing beverages and beautiful river setting. When you add live music to the mix, it makes their set-up that much better. During the summer months, Dockside Taproom hosts live music every Monday on the docks from 6 – 9 p.m. Best part, besides the live music of course, is free admission! Yes, I said it, FREE! You can ﬁnd the music schedule on their website at psbrewingco.com/docksidelive. In addition to taking in live music, you also

Tuesday Evening in the Gardens at Anderson Japanese Gardens can order food and drinks during the performance AND you can try the small batch beers the brewery releases on a weekly basis. If you ﬁnd yourself at the Brewhouse this summer I would deﬁnitely recommend indulging in some of their delicious cheese curds!

Mary’s Place

For all of you that didn’t know (including myself), Mary’s Place is the oldest bar in Rockford. Live music takes place every Friday and Saturday night. Occasionally, you can catch a live performance by Miles Nielsen & The Rusted Hearts, Bun E. Carlos and Taboo Blah Blah. Open stage is every Tuesday and Thursday night, so you can take advantage of the stage and release your angelic voice to the audience. Share your songs with the world and with Rockford!

Anderson Japanese Gardens

The environment at the gardens is full of amazing energy, extraordinary scenery and relaxing music. Anderson Gardens takes advantage of their environment every Tuesday night for Tuesday Evening in the Gardens and hosts local, regional and national

artists. The performances start at 5:45 p.m. but guests can set-up their seating around 5 p.m. Arriving relatively early is a great idea if you want to be able to see the stage - the lawn ﬁlls up fast. The grass is about as comfy as a mattress, so all you need to bring is a blanket and you are good to go! Indulge yourself in food o�ered by Woodﬁre Brick Oven Pizza, DiTullio’s Italian Deli, Zammuto’s, Fresco at the Gardens, Rockford Roasting Company and Nothing Bundt Cakes. Or, you can bring your own food and set up a picnic on the lawn.

District Bar and Grill

If you like being downtown District Bar & Grill is the PERFECT place for you. It is surrounded by downtown attractions and a fun crowd. The District hosts multiple events that attract large groups of people. Throughout the summer months they are normally booked with upcoming shows and concerts. As I mentioned earlier, I went to my ﬁrst concert at one of their Block Party events and it was remarkable. When Here Come the Mummies performed up on stage, they grabbed everyone’s attention with their choreo-

graphed routine and unique music. They made the environment around them inviting and energetic, which made the night memorable. Since I went to college eight hours away from home, every now and then I would get homesick. Whenever I would miss home, I would throw on some Miles or Taboo and instantly be at peace. Music in general is very soothing but when it relates to home, it is even more powerful. I suggest you check out these Miles Nielsen songs: “Honey Bee”, “Heavy Metal” and “Kentucky”. My favorite Taboo Blah Blah’s songs are “Devil’s Son-in-Law” and “Cherry Eyes”. I promise, you will not be disappointed. Having lived in the city of Rockford nearly my whole life, I take pride in all the local musicians. I must give credit to my brother Connor because he introduced me to Miles Nielsen & The Rusted Hearts and Taboo Blah Blah. Both of us appreciate and respect music, especially when it relates to the city that we are both extremely passionate about.

TAURUS

By Andrew M. Seaman Reuters Health

People who drink the most coffee are less likely to die than those who drink the least or none, according to two new studies that followed nearly three quarters of a million people for about 16 years. The results don’t necessarily mean coffee directly prevents people from dying, but researchers suggest they should at least reassure people who can’t get by without their daily cup of joe. “It’s premature that people start consuming coffee to improve health outcomes,” said Alice Lichtenstein, director of the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston. “However, if they do so, they should probably do it without a lot of concern.” “I think for some people, it’s going to put their minds at ease,” said Lichtenstein, who wasn’t involved with either of the new studies. Previous research from the United States and Japan found a reduced risk of death among coffee drinkers, but little was known about whether such a link also existed in Europe, where coffee-drinking habits vary between countries. People in Denmark drink larger quantities of coffee than Italians who drink smaller and stronger drinks like espresso, for example. For one of the new studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the authors examined data collected over about 16 years from 521,330 people living in 10 European countries. There were 41,693 deaths over the study period. Men who reported drinking the most coffee were about 12 percent less likely to die during the follow-up period, compared to men who didn’t drink coffee. Similarly, women who drank the most coffee were about 7 percent less likely to die during that time than women who didn’t drink any. Despite the people being so different from

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

TAURUS, GEMINI AND CANCER

Horoscope Week of July 9 to 15, 2017 ARIES

You’ll take a close look at your finances before going on vacation and the high cost of living could stress you out. On the emotional side of things, remember that love comes knocking when you least expect it.

TAURUS

You will be very social, and you’ll also want to take a breather professionally. Expect to find yourself drawing out your lunch hours to socialize with colleagues, employees and partners.

GEMINI

You will use your vacation time to tackle a few projects, both professional and domestic. But don’t forget to get some rest.

CANCER

Having fun is this week’s watchword, and opportunities to do so won’t be in short supply. You will start building your summer reading list, but choosing the right books won’t be easy.

LEO

You will have the urge to make some changes and the timing will feel right. Vacation time is here and will provide you the opportunity to start drafting a business plan or looking for a better job.

VIRGO

You will attend seminars and take part in important negotiations. In your private life you’re feeling increasingly tired of doing all the work, which could mean drastic action is needed to change old habits.

LIBRA

Your mind may not be completely at ease when you leave for vacation. A few office-related issues will have you dealing with work during your time off. Romance-wise, a new acquaintance will keep you guessing.

SCORPIO

You will wrap up all work-related matters before the holidays. Don’t wing it. Make your reservations this week; during peak season, all the best places get booked quickly.

SAGITTARIUS

It’s the perfect time to carry out those projects you’ve been planning around the house. You will also tackle your flowerbeds and landscaping. Expect to spend your time off close to home.

CAPRICORN

You will be moving around a lot and be a tad distracted. Don’t forget your shopping list, or you’ll find yourself making a lot of return trips to the store. You’re never at a loss for words, but some people will always find a way to disagree with you.

AQUARIUS

You’ve recalculated your vacation budget several times to ensure you won’t come up short. In case you missed something, though, consider leaving yourself a cushion — even if it means dropping a couple of activities.

PISCES

Your ability to take the lead will be at the fore. At work and elsewhere, you’ll find ways to take advantage of every opportunity. Your energy will be second to none.

VOICES FROM THE GRAVE

Deadly secrets BY KATHI KRESOL

CONTRIBUTOR

his story is about two women whose lives were linked in ways that neither of them could imagine. In May 1936, their lives were ripped apart by the secrets kept by one man. Most people would have described Guy Tallmadge as a good man, honest and hard-working. Those people didn’t know about the secrets that had taken over Guy’s life Guy was married to Bessie Andrew Tallmadge. Many of the couple’s friends knew that there were problems in their marriage. But things had recently changed between Bessie and Guy. The couple seemed happier to their friends. Later on, those same friends would replay those days over in their heads, looking for some clue that they missed. But, Guy was good at keeping his secrets. He kept secrets from the second woman in his life, too. Francis was her name and she was 32-years-old. She was lovely, with fair skin and auburn hair. The two met in a drug store in Rockford during Sept. 1935. It was in that moment that the secrets began. Guy failed to mention to Francis that he was married when he asked her out. Guy eventually told Francis about his marital status. But by that time, it was already too late. Francis, though not madly in love with Guy, was impressed with him. She had a young daughter and knew that Guy could give her the security she longed for. By May of 1936, Guy was feeling the

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 revisit Rockford’s ﬁrst happening night spot, the legendary Holland House hotel.

pressure from the secrets that he had been keeping. Bessie who had no idea about Francis, wanted to continue seeking counseling for their issues. While Francis, who was everything Guy had ever wanted, was pressuring him about the divorce. Guy told Francis that she only had to wait a little longer while he set up the perfect life for them. Then on May 11, Guy proposed. Francis had no way of knowing the dark secret that Guy carried in his heart that day as he slipped the ring on her ﬁnger. A diamond ring wasn’t the only that Guy bought. He used a fake name at another shop when bought a gun. Guy had been taking Bessie on long romantic rides in the country. But they weren’t really romantic rides for Guy.

Twice on those previous rides, he almost carried out his plan but he lost his nerve. Then, on May 19, Guy was finally ready. He took Bessie for a ride along a lonely stretch of Chana Road. It was after 9 p.m. and there were no other cars around when Guy pulled to the side of the road. He told Bessie that there was something wrong with the car. Guy called to Bessie and asked her to bring the flashlight that was on the front seat. Guy told her that his wrist watch had slipped o� and he needed the light to see where it fell. Bessie grabbed the light and hopped out of the car. She knelt down to help look for the watch when Guy suddenly put the gun to the back of her head. Guy fired once and tried to fire a second shot but the gun jammed. Bessie was thrown into the ditch by the blast. She dropped the flashlight, it rolled into the ditch, and came to rest near her head. Guy must have been distracted because he grabbed up the flashlight and a glove that had fallen from Bessie’s hand. He did not realize that both the glove and the flashlight were splattered with Bessie’s blood. Guy flagged down a car and told the driver the story that he had made up to account for Bessie’s death. The man raced back to his house and phoned the police. They arrived and Guy told them that while he was stopped at the intersection a man had jumped on the running board of his car and shoved a gun in his face. He ordered Guy and Bessie to exit the car. The man demanded their money and jewelry. Bessie

grew so frightened that she screamed and turned to run. The man opened fire and Bessie fell. Authorities had their doubts about Guy’s story. They noticed that the flashlight and glove that were in the car were blood stained. They found $40 in cash in Bessie’s purse under her body. Later, police also found the murder weapon in a field close to the crime scene. When they traced the gun, it came back as the one sold from the Pawn Shop. The clerk positively identified Guy as the man who had bought the gun. Francis was horrified when the police informed her of the crime. She later stated that her world came crashing down the minute she realized that Guy had given her the ring the same day that he purchased the gun. It didn’t take the jury of twelve very long to decide Guy’s fate. They came back with a guilty verdict. Guy Tallmadge was sentenced to life in prison. He died fifteen months later in Joliet State Penitentiary. Guy had one more secret to keep. His body was released to a family member and sent to Franklin Grove, Illinois. The family feared that Guy’s grave would be vandalized, so they kept the exact burial place a secret. R.

Hop growers struggle to take root BY GREG BISHOP

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

Illinois hop farmers are trying to contribute to the local craft beer industry with locally grown ingredients but are facing cost and infrastructure challenges that prevent progress. Grant McCarty, local food systems and small farms extension educator for the University of Illinois and columnist for The Times, said the high startup cost is the main challenge for hop growers, since hops in Illinois can cost between $10,000 and $13,000 per acre. “The break-even point can sometimes be at 20 acres of hop for some of these growers,” McCarty said. “So if you’re still at 1 to 2 acres, you’re still potentially struggling with the cost and the inputs that go into it.” Illinois produces only 30 acres of hop annually; by comparison, Michigan produces 650 acres. These perennial plants produce climbing vines that can reach 20 to 25 feet annually. The plant requires an extensive infrastruc-

ture system to support growth, which adds to the startup cost. “Some growers in the state will utilize old telephone poles, and they’ll have a wire trellising system in which the vine will grow upwards onto the support structure,”

McCarty said. McCarty also said the labor to harvest the hop can be intensive for smaller operations. “The other hurdle with growing the hop plant is that in most cases – less than 5 acres – you are picking o� the vine itself,

McCarty said. “You’re hand-picking o� of it, and that can be a very big labor expense that a grower has to take into consideration with it.” Despite the investment and labor, growers are taking on the challenge to produce locally sourced ingredients. “A lot of hop growers get into growing it because they brew their own beer or they just really like the idea of the microbrewery concept,” McCarty said. “So I think there comes with it a lot of passion for local beer and local brewing.” McCarty said growers can sometimes have di�culty ﬁnding partnerships with breweries to buy their hops, but he’s seen a positive shift toward local growers and local microbrewery partnerships. McCarty is also helping to get small hop growers to work as co-ops to produce hop collectively on a larger scale. Grant McCarty’s regular column on local foods and eating is on vacation this week. It’ll return in next week’s issue of The Rock River Times.

Weather clouds pork outlook BY DEBRA LEVEY LARSON U OF I NEWS BUREAU

URBANA — Pork producers are watching the weather forecast almost as intently as crop producers. Higher feed prices driven by weather forecasts are now a

new threat to their returns. According to Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt, current feed prices are already high enough to turn the 2018 outlook into expectations for losses. In the June Hogs and Pigs report, pork

producers reported to USDA they were continuing to increase the breeding herd by 1 percent. With continued increases in the number of pigs per litter, pork production has been growing at about 2 to 3 percent per year. The market herd was reported to be up 3.6 percent, with pigs coming to market in the third quarter up 4 percent and those coming to market in the fourth quarter up 3 percent. What about farrowing intentions this summer and fall? “Producers told USDA they were going to keep farrowings at the same level,” says Hurt. “If so, the supply of pigs to be marketed in the winter and spring of 2018 will be around 1 percent higher.” What are the states to watch? Hurt says over the past two years the most rapid breeding herd growth has been in Missouri with 45,000 new animals and Illinois with 40,000 additional animals. Iowa has added 30,000 head. “It is interesting to see that the recent growth is back in the heart of the traditional hog/corn belt. This is most likely being driven by new packing capacity in the traditional pork production areas.” Pork production has been up 2 percent in the ﬁrst half of 2017 and hog prices have been 5 percent higher. “Higher production and higher prices is an unusual combination that I have been discussing this year,” Hurt says. “The reasons are strong demand

in the pork export market and lower retail prices in the domestic market that are helping to spur consumption.” Pork exports are having a good year, Hurt adds. Through May, pork exports are up 14 percent, led by increases to Mexico and South Korea. So far this year the United States is exporting 23 percent of domestic production. Mexico became the number one destination for exported pork in 2015 and reminds the industry that opening NAFTA negotiations is especially important to U.S. agriculture and to the pork industry in particular. “Because of strong pork exports, the 2 percent higher pork production has moved into the export market. This means that the amount of pork available for U.S. consumers is about the same as last year. Given that there are more people in the country, per capita supplies are actually down this year.” According to Hurt, packer and retail margins have been very high for pork. Retail margins have already started down and packer margins are expected to come down in the last half of the year with more processing capacity. Retail pork prices in 2017 have been down 2 percent. Thus, lower grocery store prices for pork are also stimulating consumption and helping hog prices be higher even with more production. Hog prices are expected to stay above year-previous levels in the last half of the year.

2.7M more vehicles recalled over airbags By Tom Krisher AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — Takata is adding 2.7 million vehicles from Ford, Nissan and Mazda to the long list of those being recalled to replace potentially dangerous air bag inflators. The inflators are a new type that previously was thought to be safe. Vehicles affected are from the 2005 through 2012 model years. Takata inflators can explode with too much force and spew shrapnel into drivers and passengers. At least 17 people have died and more than 180 injured due to the problem. The inflators have caused the largest automotive recall in U.S. history with 42 million vehicles and up to 69 million inflators being called back for repairs. Takata uses the chemical ammonium nitrate to inflate air bags. But it can deteriorate when exposed to high airborne humidity and high temperatures. Previously the company believed that a drying agent called a dessicant stopped the chemical from degrading and the inflators were safe. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in a statement Tuesday that tests done by Takata show that for the first time, a type of dessicated inflator “will pose a safety risk if not replaced.” The agency says it has no reports of any inflators with the dessicant rupturing. Nissan said the new recall affects just over 515,000 Versa subcompact hatchback and sedans from the 2007 through 2012 model years. Mazda said its recall covers about 6,000 B-Series trucks from 2007 through 2009. Ford, which has the most vehicles involved in the latest recall, is reviewing the information and will file a list of models within the five days required by law. Takata said in documents filed with the safety agency that it tested inflators returned from Nissan and Ford vehicles which use calcium sulfate as a drying agent. Although none of the inflators blew apart, some showed a pattern of deterioration in the ammonium nitrate propellant over time “that is understood to predict a future

risk of inflator rupture.” NHTSA said in a statement that that not all Takata inflators with a dessicant are being recalled. Takata used different drying agents in other inflators, the agency said. The latest recall raises doubts about the safety of other Takata Corp. inflators that use ammonium nitrate and drying agents. The company, which has filed for bankruptcy protection in both the U.S. and Japan, has agreed to recall all original equipment inflators without a drying agent in phases by the end of 2018. NHTSA gave the company until the end of 2019 to prove that inflators with the drying agents are safe, or they must be recalled as well. U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, said Tuesday that NHTSA needs to move faster to figure out whether all remaining Takata inflators are safe. “This recall now raises serious questions about the threat posed by all of Takata’s ammonium nitrate-based air bags,” Nelson said in a statement. “We certainly can’t afford to wait until the December 2019 deadline for that determination.”

Tires recalled

A company that distributes Primewell brand tires is recalling more than 394,000 of them in the U.S. because the sidewalls can crack and lose air, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall covers certain Valera Touring II replacement passenger car tires distributed by California-based Giti Tire USA. The company says in documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that a crack can develop in the lower sidewall after being in use for several months. GITI says there have been no property damage or injury claims. In most cases the crack happens on the opposite side of the tire from the serial number, which normally is mounted on the inside. That can make the cracks difficult to detect. For more information on this and the expanded Takata airbag recall, visitsafercar. gov for the most up-to-date recall status of your vehicle.

Horses provide a healing hand By Donette Beckett

(Decatur) Herald and Review

ARGENTA — Kris Williamson and her horse, Sonny, have a great relationship. They are able to communicate without saying a word. When they spend time together, Williamson finds her peace. “It’s just him and I,” she said. “Horses can be very intimidating, but he calms me down.” Just three months ago, their relationship was not as peaceful. Williamson has owned Sonny for almost a year. While growing up, she had horses in her life and felt comfortable around them. After a medication change, Williamson developed panic attacks. She began to fear Sonny and most every situation in her life and outside her home. “The non-real world became really real to me,” she said. “And I became very scared of my horse.” Williamson was diagnosed with severe anxiety panic disorder. Patients with the disorder think ahead of every situation and believe something bad is going to happen. “Anxiety plays a lot of mind games,” Williamson said. “It is pretty frightful.” Fortunately, Sonny was being boarded at Stout Horse Farms. Kim Brown is an instructor on the family farm. She is also an equine expert with Healthy Strides, an equine-assisted psychotherapy practice. Brown works with Dan Giers, a licensed psychotherapist, to help diagnose and treat patients with various disorders and mental illnesses, including depression, addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder. “Even to some affect, bipolar disorder,” Giers said. “Also OCD, eating disorders, and we provide family counseling. Brown and Giers said their team approach makes a difference in their brand of therapy. While Brown is watching the horse, Giers is watching the client. “It is unbelievable how fast you get to the truth,” Giers said. “In the office, it could take weeks or months to get there.” All patients receive a personalized approach to their treatment. The horses are tools for analysis. Brown and Giers said the people without horse experience make the best clients. “They are blank to the whole experience,” Giers said. Brown can see a patient’s reaction, mood and demeanor in the horse. The patients may say what they are doing or how they feeling, but the horse tells Brown something different. “I found the horse is more reliable,” she said. “I can tell when the horse is tense by looking at their eyes, tail, ear, their body language.” The approach has shown enough promise that the Department of Defense issued

Kris Williamson works with a horse at Stout Horse Farm in downstate Argenta. The horses provide equine psychotherapy for patients suffering from many issues. Photo, Clay Jackson/Herald & Review a report in 2016 assessing its usefulness for treating soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder. The report acknowledged successes but concluded not enough research had been done to evaluate its effectiveness. According to the Washington Post, Columbia University is currently conducting a study at Bergen Equestrian Center in Leonia, New Jersey, into equine therapy with veterans and hopes to have a report by the end of the year. Giers said empowerment is the focus of the therapy. The client has control. For example, a patient is asked to simply walk up to the horse. “We do not tell a person how to approach the horse, other than safety suggestions,” Giers said. “It is up to their style how they approach the horse.” How the encounters goes may give Brown and Giers a glimpse into their patient. The patient can try as hard as they can to lie to the horse, but the horse senses the truth. “Some deep and profound things that could take me months in the office to come out, sometimes just get blurted out,”

he said. Brown often witnesses her clients attend therapy with a negative attitude, but her horse Rudy tells her there is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, a horse will become nervous around people who can be hurtful. “They can read someone easily,” Brown said. “They each respond differently, though.” Brown has the choice of 10 horses to be used during therapy, but they are not specialized in training. Brown said the horses just get to be horses. “They have day jobs,” she said. “They are lesson horses, show horses; they moonlight as therapy horses.” Williamson found Sonny was feeling her frustration and struggles during their therapy sessions. His anxiety would rise when her’s would. “And we were clashing,” Williamson said. While working with Williamson, the team was able to see a change in her attitude within the first hour. Giers, Brown, Williamson and Sonny met together in the horse arena as often as possible,

until horse and owner were able to walk and eventually trot together. Williamson stayed on the ground during therapy until she felt comfortable. The two worked together about a month before she could get on Sonny. “Now we are best friends,” she said. Williamson gives credit to the team for helping her regain her confidence and control her fears. “By the time she was done, she was recognizing things that she hadn’t for years,” Giers said. Three months have passed since she began therapy. Williamson has been going to the stables on her own to visit Sonny, a feat that previously would have brought about a panic attack, she said. Brown and Giers have seen the therapy used as a faster approach to an otherwise difficult struggle for health. They use equine therapy to address many issues, including corporate team building and family communication therapy. “All of the work addresses how we communicate,” Brown said. “And if everybody acted more like horses, we would have a lot less mental illness in the world.”

Brewer’s Braun capable of strong 2nd half

...if he can actually stay healthy By Noah Trister AP Baseball Writer

The Milwaukee Brewers are the surprising leaders of the NL Central, and they’ve reached this point with minimal contributions from their star slugger. Ryan Braun, who missed almost all of June with calf problems, is hitting .259 with only 23 RBIs. With the Cubs and

<<< From Back Cover Outside of Cameron Meredith, who led the Bears in most relevant receiving statistics in 2016, you have an older Victor Cruz and two receivers on prove-it deals in Kendall Wright and Markus Wheaton (although Wheaton has more guaranteed money). The role next to Meredith on the other side of the field has a gaping hole where the Bears are desperately yearning for a stretch-the-field type talent. Under the Bourbonnais sun and intense stress of the next few weeks, it would behoove White to begin to comfort everyone at Halas Hall with an excellent camp. His effective addition to begin living up to the hype would work wonders for the Bears offense.

Competition to watch

Outside of the easy Trubisky-Glennon dynamic to point to, it’s still too early to figure who the Bears’ third receiver i.e. slot guy will be. As noted, Chicago currently possesses a glut of positional skill talent that sits at relatively the same level in the organiza-

Cardinals still looming 5½ games behind, Milwaukee’s postseason hopes could depend on whether the 33-year-old Braun can stay on the field and produce. Braun’s power is still there. He has 10 home runs in only 40 games, and he ranks among the top hitters in baseball in exit velocity, according to MLB’s Statcast. The question is his health. Braun hasn’t played

tion’s eyes. Wright once led his previous team in Tennessee Titans in receiving in 2013, but since then has dramatically dropped off in usage, which led to his exit and acquisition by the Bears this spring. There’s a lot of experience and channeled energy here for the 27-year-old, he just has to stick out among a crowd. Meanwhile, Wheaton’s best asset is the deep ball as a playmaker down the field. However, the 26-year-old missed 13 of 16 games last year due to injury and has never topped more than 53 receptions in a season. At this rate, he strikes as more of a fourth wide-out than your reliable third receiving option. Finally, the salsa touchdown dance champion in former New York Giant, Victor Cruz. The 30-year-old Cruz is an interesting case for the Bears in seeking a career rejuvenation. There was once a time you could’ve easily made a case for Cruz being a top-10 receiver in the NFL. His speed and knack for getting open made him an integral part of the 2011 Giants Super Bowl championship team. But a patellar tendon injury in 2014

more than 140 games since 2012, and he was out Sunday with left calf tightness. If Braun can come back refreshed and healthy after the All-Star break, he’s a good candidate to make a bigger impact in the second half. Here are a few other players who could enjoy significant turnarounds down the stretch: • Manny Machado, Orioles. Machado has 18 home runs, but that doesn’t really stand out in this homer-happy season. Baltimore needs more than a .230 average and .296 on-base percentage from its star third baseman, and Machado will likely provide it going forward. His batting average on balls in play is just .239 — 63 points below his career number — so he’s been victimized by some bad luck. • Jeff Samardzija, Giants. He’s 4-10 with a 4.58 ERA, but don’t be fooled. In 118 innings, the right-hander has 127 strikeouts and only 14 walks. He’d make an interesting trade target for a contender looking to improve its rotation. • Aroldis Chapman, Yankees. Like Braun, Chapman’s main issue is probably his health. He missed more than a month because of shoulder problems — always a concern for someone who throws as hard as he does. His 3.48 ERA is ordinary, but his strikeout rate is actually up from last year, and that’s a good indicator that Chapman will eventually be his dominant self again as New York chases a postseason spot. Here are a few other developments from around baseball:

Mike Glennon, No. 8, and Shaw Connor are among the QBs in camp for the Bears. chicagobears.com essentially robbed Cruz of whatever career trajectory he’s been on. Since then, the last few seasons have been rough in a slow recovery for the veteran to try and regain some of his old form. 2016 was a nice start as Cruz played in 15 of 16 games, yet he still only caught 39 passes for 586 yards – a far cry from his consecutive 80 reception, 1,000-yard seasons in

A cut above

The Dodgers (61-29) and Astros (60-29) are on pace to win well over 100 games this season, and both head into the All-Star break in style. Los Angeles is on a six-game winning streak, and Houston routed Toronto 19-1 on Sunday. Only three times in the modern era have two teams won at least 104 games in the same year. The Yankees (114) and Braves (106) did it in 1998, the Cardinals (106) and Dodgers (104) in 1942 and the Pirates (110) and Cubs (104) in 1909.

Highlight

Maybe more of a lowlight, from Baltimore’s perspective. The Orioles allowed Milwaukee’s Orlando Arcia to score from first on an infield single Monday. Brent Suter beat out a slow roller to the shortstop, and Arcia tried to go from first to third. He made it, but he overslid the base and had little choice but to keep going for home to avoid getting tagged. The Orioles had him in a rundown, but he escaped to score the run when a couple Baltimore players got in each other’s way near the plate.

Line of the week

Kyle Freeland, Rockies, took a no-hitter into the ninth inning Sunday before allowing a one-out single to Melky Cabrera in Colorado’s 10-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. It would have been the first no-hitter by a Colorado pitcher at Coors Field.

2011 and 2012. Whatever Cruz has left in the tank, he’d be best served to put it all on display during training camp. Considering his one-year deal with the Bears is all but guaranteed, he’ll still have a role with the team, it just could be smaller than usual if competition doesn’t pan out well. Chicago’s quarterback needs more than one or two trusted targets and this trio of Wright, Wheaton, and Cruz is set for an interesting battle to become a reliable safety valve in that light. Overall, the Bears quite clearly have a lot of holes on offense they need to plug over the next several weeks. Answering the questions of quarterback and talent at the skill positions to compliment a strong offensive line and 2016 second-leading rusher in the NFL, Jordan Howard, will go a long way towards not only sustained success this season but improved play consistently. There’s no better stage than under the Bourbonnais sun to gleam out these answers the Bears seek. R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears. Find him on Twitter: @RobertZeglinski.

Rockford ready for All-Star break By Mark Schaer

For The Rock River Times

ohn Rave and Cole Bellair were both selected to represent the Rockford Rivets in the Northwoods League All-Star game, which is coming up in just over a week. Rave, an outfielder from Illinois State, has a .343/.421/.448 slash line so far this season in 25 games. Bellair, a pitcher from Illinois, has compiled a 3-2 record and a 3.66 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 46.2 innings. Best half yet: Rockford’s 17-17 record in the first half of the season is their first finish of .500 or better since joining the Northwoods League. They were 17-18 last summer in the first half of the season. Arizona league alumni: Former Rivet Hunter Hargrove had three hits for the Oakland Athletics’ Rookie-level Arizona League Mesa affiliate in its 9-3 win

over the AZL White Sox on Saturday. Hargrove, 8-for-16 over his last four games, has increased his average to .313. Hargrove, who appeared at six different positions for the Rivets and led them in home runs in 2016, was Oakland’s 25th-round pick in this year’s draft. He was co-Big 12 Conference Player of the Year this spring at Texas Tech University. Fellow former Rivet David Cronin was on the losing side of that game, though he had two hits for the Glendale White Sox. Cronin, a second baseman drafted out of Illinois-Chicago in the 20th round this year, is hitting .185. Smith signs with Rays: Outfielder Michael Smith, who played for the Rivets last season, has signed with the Tampa Bay Rays for $197,500, according to Baseball America magazine. The Rays drafted Smith out of San Jacinto

(Texas) Junior College in the 18th round last month. Smith has been assigned to the Rays’ Port Charlotte affiliate in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League, but has yet to appear in a game. Indy alumnus: In the independent Frontier League, former Rivet Josh Hauser’s five-game hitting streak was snapped on Sunday, but he did walk and steal a base in Traverse City’s 8-3 win at Normal. The Belvidere native is hitting .211 for the Beach Bums. A new Rivet joins after the CWS: Zach Watson, an outfielder from LSU, will be joining the Rivets this week. Watson was an instrumental piece in the Tigers’ run to the College World Series this year, although they fell in the championship series to the Florida Gators. Watson finished the year with a .317 average, along with nine home runs and 37 RBI.

LSU manager Paul Mainieri said that Watson, who will be an important part of next year’s LSU team, will remain in the outfield although he has also received time at second base. Double triple bad luck: Rockford has fallen victim to not one, but two triple plays this season. On July 5, Ryan Hutchinson lined into a 5-4-3 triple play at Green Bay. Hutchinson also lined into a 3-6 triple play at home against Battle Creek on June 26. That is two triple plays in the span of four games and just 15 plate appearances. Record attendance: Rockford recorded its highest-ever attendance figure of 2,099 on June 24 for its First Responders Night promotion. R. For tickets or more information visit rockfordrivets.com.

NFL Training Camp

QB battle will define 2017 Bears By Robert Zeglinski

Contributor

e’re just about two weeks away from the sweltering heat of Bourbonnais as the Chicago Bears will begin training camp to get prepared for the 2017 season. Before long, the grind of the NFL season will return as well. Oh, joy! The sound of pads popping at Olivet Nazarene University is but a signifier of the return of football. On that note, before camp, it’s time to take a look at each individual unit for Chicago and consider X-factors, competitions, and top storylines. There’s plenty of baggage to answer for and sort out over the next two months for the Bears and this is the best guess at unpacking it all. First up, the Bears offense, which has a dramatically new look at quarterback.

Top story

Based on simple process of elimination, this year’s Bears offense should improve by default. The 2016 version was actually 15th in total yardage but only 24th in scoring, mainly because of 27 turnovers from the quarterback trio of Jay Cutler, Brian Hoyer, and Matt Barkley. For a unit that actually proved to move the ball well, continually stopping drives with sloppy mistakes was a killer. Of course, as fate would have it, the Bears have an entirely new quarterback room at Halas Hall. Gone are Cutler, Hoyer, and Barkley. In is free-agent signing Mike Glennon and 2017 No. 2 overall pick Mitch Trubisky. Fun fact: There will be a different set starter before the season for the Bears for the first time in eight years. The Bears maintain the Glennon is the starter, for now. Trubisky does too, saying last week at an event that “Mike’s the starter and I’m behind him all the

way.” But for the record, no one has also ever explicitly said the rookie Trubisky can’t snatch away the job during a competitive period such as camp and the incoming preseason. Just handing the keys to the car won’t benefit anyone. Some healthy competition will aid the Bears offense even if it’s still their expected outcome. However, unless Trubisky truly lights it up, Chicago will likely stick with Glennon at least to the start the season. A rookie needs to separate himself even more than usual. This quarterback battle will define not only camp but perhaps the entirety of the 2017 Bears season.

X-Factor

In playing only four of a possible 32 professional games so far, 2015 firstround pick Kevin White has enjoyed anything but good fortune. The young wide receiver flashed explosive,

game-breaking talent in college at West Virginia but leg injuries to this point have effectively robbed the 24-year-old from showcasing any of that ability at the professional level. Now in his third NFL season, White has a lot to prove and show his mettle if he’s not going to be a monumental bust for a former top-10 pick. He can’t afford another year where he misses most of if not all of the games. He needs the experience and on-hand potential to play and prove his worth. And to his credit, White also said at recently that he isn’t “worried about any injuries.” It’s only time to play football and enjoy the game. The Bears could really use White’s assistance as well when you note the intense question marks along their entire receiving core. Continued on Page 46 >>>
