Donald Trump holds the most powerful office in the world. But he’s dogged by insecurity over his loss of the popular vote in the election and a persistent frustration that the legitimacy of his presidency is being challenged by Democrats and the media, aides and associates say.

Trump’s fixation has been a drag on the momentum of his opening days in office, with his exaggerations about inauguration crowds and false assertions about illegal balloting intruding on advisers’ plans to launch his presidency with a flurry of actions on the economy. His spokesman Sean Spicer has twice stepped into the fray himself, including on Tuesday, when he doubled down on Trump’s false claim that he lost the popular vote because 3 million to 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally cast ballots.

“He believes what he believes based on the information he was provided,” said Spicer, who provided no evidence to back up the president’s statements. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have finalized their election results with no reports of the kind of widespread fraud that Trump is alleging.

If the president’s claim were true it would mark the most significant election fraud in U.S. history — and ironically, would raise the same questions about Trump’s legitimacy that he’s trying to avoid. Yet Spicer repeatedly sidestepped questions about whether the Trump administration would investigate the allegations pushed by the president.

“Anything is possible,” he said.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration has sent a letter to GOP congressional leaders asking them to avoid “hasty” or “incomplete” action as they proceed with a planned repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The Jan. 17 letter says Congress and the states “must work together” to achieve “important reforms” in health care policy. The letter is signed by Acting Illinois Insurance Director Jennifer Hammer, who was appointed by the Republican governor one month ago.

The letter comes as Republican lawmakers face pressure from President Donald Trump to quickly repeal and replace the health law and as Republicans continue searching for a proposal on which they can agree.

The letter urges Congress to provide “certainty and stability” to people covered through the health care law.

It does not call for repeal, but says the law’s “major structural flaws” have resulted in higher insurance rates.

In Illinois, the average rate increase on the health law marketplace is 45 percent for 2017 coverage.

Rauner said last week he had doubts about turning Medicaid over to the states in the form of block grants because of what he called past mismanagement of the Medicaid program. He also expressed caution about repealing the law “with nothing to replace it.”

LARGER THAN LIFE

By John Guevara

He challenged me on the health risks of marijuana. I mentioned my view, saying long term controlled studies need to happen so we can know for sure. He sparred with me over it for awhile and I remember him taking a drink looking at me and saying, “I guess you’re alright.”

A few years later we sparred again. This time it was about riverfront tax credits. I made a comment where I said the credits were initially intended to encourage development, not permanently subsidize it. My thought was there should be a review process to determine the health of the river front community in which the credits are available and whether businesses can transition from the credits on a sliding scale. And that’s when he asked me which business owner currently benefiting from the tax credit would I like to tell shouldn’t be receiving it anymore. I stammered my way through the exchange and hurriedly made a red-faced exit.

Looking back, I can’t tell if our run-ins were more about issues or about us. In his own way, I think Frank was taking measure of me, and that he was as interested in how I think as he was in what I thought. He wanted to know if I was the kind of person he should continue to support.

I last saw him shortly after losing my most recent race for County Board. He was gracious, and thanked me for my service. I had no idea it would be the last time we spoke.

Thank you Frank, for your service to our community. You were a lion. Godspeed, sir. I don’t know what’s next for me, but I do know this: I won’t let you down.

Contributor

F

rank Schier was a lion. He was larger than life. We were like night and day, on national politics especially. Even at the local level, in the past few years especially, there were a couple areas we didn’t see eye to eye.

We disagreed about marijuana legalization. For years, I had considered myself one of the few republicans in favor of marijuana legalization and by that I mean, I was for legalization in the case of specific medical treatments to be measured in controlled studies for efficacy, adverse events, and cost effectiveness to start.

I remember one night at Vintage when Frank walked in. It was less than a year after my divorce and I found it easier to enjoy a cocktail at a bar than to sit alone in an empty house. Frank sat, looked me up and down and said, “You’re the County Board guy I endorsed.”

He was right. I was the county board guy he endorsed. And he lit into me on spending, especially host fees and one cent sales taxes.

As we verbally fenced over revenue streams and expenditure preferences, he settled on marijuana as a source of both revenue and cost savings. Tax weed for the money and save on police and incarceration costs.

I told him that would make sense if the money weren’t absorbed into general funds and if it were true that marijuana was safe.

If marijuana saved California’s budget, why were they always running a deficit?

“I worked with Frank running the bar when he was managing Harper’s Weekly (later called Cubbie’s, I think). a few years later when I was in Rockford again, I spent the summer helping Frank renovate his home on Court Street. I accompanied him on a two-day canoe trip down the Rock River. Once he even got me drawn into a fight. What a guy. His humor could have a caustic side sometimes, but he was always good company. Frankie, it’s way too soon. Hope you’re finding things to your liking. RIP, dude.”

–Tim Taphorn “The community has lost a truly great man and I have lost one of my oldest and dearest friends.

Frank first published my writing and continued to be my friend and advocate all these years.

He never let his friends down and could always be counted

on for bringing people together.

I will forever remember your great holiday and boat parties, your passion and intellect, your talent and warrior ways! Peace my friend! I guess heaven’s archangels needed some help.

Love always!”

–Christine Huff “Heartfelt condolences on the passing of a Rockford original.

We sometimes disagreed. Always were friends. United by love for our home town.”

–Larry Morrissey “Frank, As a reader I can tell you that Rockford will miss your honest pursuit of true journalism, a rarity in these times of overt sensationalism. As a citizen we will miss the vast contributions you gave to environmental causes, the River District, politics and humanistic outreach in

general. As your friend I will miss the long nights of conversation, drink and fellowship. Rockford just ain’t gonna be da same.

How’s that for grammar? Peace now, Frank. Just peace.”

–Andrew Kellogg

imprint on it somewhere. Your ‘make it happen’ attitude along with the snarky remarks will be sorely missed. May the wind be at your back as you float down that river to a happy place.”

–Rob Belles

“I owe a debt of gratitude to Frank. He is responsible for the publication of my first chapbook.

He also published my poetry regularly in Rock River Times over the years. Together we used to sponsor the Rock River Poetry contest. He also created Rockford Writers’ Theatre, which performed at many venues. Most of all, I will miss his enthusiasm and wild sense of humor.”

–Chris Swanberg

“He was a true friend, a hero to me, as well as a proud boss and eager student. He was unfl appable, persevering and kind. I will miss his wit, his generosity and his strength.

He will leave a void not only in the political arena, but also the healing arts community, the martial arts community, the music community, the arts community and so many others.

He was loved and respected and truly one of a kind.”

–Richard Gubbe

“You will be missed, but you will live on in the heart and soul of Rockford. There is not a part of Rockford that does not have your

“I met Frank as he was beginning his journey with TRRT. Long were

those nights of literally cutting and pasting (with wax) our first editions. In trade Frank published my travel log, A Path With Heart, over ten years. I will be forever grateful to Frank for inspiring me to begin my own journey in writing. Be well Frank. The world is now a lesser place, but know that you have left your mark as few others have. Bon Voyage.”

–Thomas Bauschke The staff of The Rock River Times would like to say thanks to our longtime boss for his dedication to both Rockford and a free press.

For 30 years, TRRT has been the voice of the community and our mission as journalists shall not waver; Frank was our guide but the journey must go on. We will inform the community of an upcoming memorial when details are finalized.

Rest in peace, friend.

Champion of the environment

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

F

rank Schier has done so much for this area. We especially are grateful for his support of renewable energy and ecology. When we decided to hold our first annual renewable energy fair, we called him to inquire about advertising it.

We talked briefly and he declared he would sponsor it and give us $5,000 worth of free press. He asked us to write an article; since then we continue to write a weekly column on renewable energy. Later we learned it was not unusual for him to provide free ads for events he felt were beneficial to the community.

He asked us to appear on his television show to talk about renewable energy. We had never been to the studio and had yet to meet him. Upon entering the building we saw a man with long flowing hair and a full black coat headed our way. We were somewhat shocked by his appearance but realized it must be Frank.

He opened the show by asking us a question about renewable energy, then spent most of the time answering his own question. We realized we would have to interrupt if our views were to be heard.

He asked us to come to community events where he introduced us to the mayor of Rockford, the director of the Rockford Park District, the Winnebago County Chairman, the director of YouthBuild and other leaders in the area.

Despite his introducing us as energy experts, he often expressed his own views on energy issues. He attended public hearings on wind farms and testified against their presence in the Rock River flyway. When contacted by groups concerned over CAFOs he published their concerns.

He frequently talked about his love of the Rock River and his intention to retire some day to write about the river. He wanted an

organization to protect the beauty of the river corridor while encouraging people to enjoy its recreational potential. We suggested he should create what was to become the Rock River Trail Initiative; he worked cooperatively with Greg Farnham and others to develop a bi-state plan which won federal recognition.

He argued against cutting trees to be replaced by native prairie plants. He became determined to restore oak woodlands and began delivering free oak trees to residents within the watershed. The young oaks are a living testimony to Frank’s love of nature and drive to serve the public interest.

In late October he invited us to his home to inform us of his cancer diagnosis; he expressed frustration regarding the limited success he felt he had in stimulating the common good in the Rockford area. Learning of his grim prognosis and his frustration in not be able to garner more support for his many efforts, we chose to place a full place ad in his Rock River Times honoring his life and his contributions to the community. We wanted Frank and the community to know while he was still alive how special he really was.

He wanted to live as he enjoyed life and had numerous projects he was eager to complete.

He helped bring back the annual Anything that Floats Event in Rockford which he hoped to replicate in other communities along the River. He had asked us to join with him to implement solar energy projects in Rockford and set up a meeting with an interested owner. He looked forward to writing his book on the Rock River.

When he learned of his prognosis he entered an experimental treatment program and expressed his desire to be a test subject to extend his own life and make a contribution to the well being of others who might be stricken with cancer.

As he did throughout his life he showed immense courage in confronting still another challenge.

By John O’Connor Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Despite putting the brakes on a compromise budget plan that could potentially end the nation’s longest budget deadlock in decades, Illinois Senate leaders say they still expect a floor vote Wednesday.

The plan is monstrous, with everything from a 32 percent hike in the income tax to a proposal for making it easier for voters to consolidate or eliminate superfluous local units of government, which adds to the complexity of lining up votes. The problem, too, is monstrous: An estimated end-of-year deficit of $5.3 billion in June, $11 billion in overdue bills to vendors and a $130 billion hole in what’s needed for to pay retirement benefits under five pension plans.

The Senate had lined up all 13 measures for Tuesday committee hearings, where endorsement would send them to a full Senate vote. But Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, opened the Executive Committee, which was to hear nine of the measures, saying members wanted to hear testimony and discuss it in private caucus meetings.

A vote is still possible Wednesday, as Cullerton pledges, but the decision not to seek committee votes Tuesday represented the second glitch in the planned operation

‘

this month.

Republicans were skittish about approving the plan earlier this month, but Democrats also appeared put-off by the rush Tuesday.

During a discussion of workers’ compensation changes, Chicago Democrat Kwame Raoul said he was uncomfortable making big adjustments while Rauner has put lawmakers “under the gun.”

“It’s not so much that the administration has

Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan of Chicago — but Cullerton and Radogno got together late last year to try to work out a bipartisan Senate plan.

Under the plan, the personal income tax would increase from 3.75 percent to 4.95 percent. The state would borrow $7 billion to pay down overdue bills. There’s a longsought and huge cost-saving overhaul to the state’s pension program, a vast expansion of legalized riverboat casino gambling, a fairer way of funding public schools, an increase in the minimum wage, and Rauner would get his wish with measures –State Sen. Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst such as a two-year property tax freeze, cost-reductions in the workers’ comus under the gun as that we have no budget,” pensation program, more efficient and replied Elmhurst Sen. Chris Nybo, the com- cheaper state purchasing and allowing voters mittee’s ranking Republican. “We owe more more leeway in eliminating local governthan we spend and businesses are leaving in ments in Illinois, which has nearly 7,000.

After all, Rauner’s budget office estimated droves. That’s the gun that I see were under.”

The package is an attempt to break through last week the plan would still leave Illinois the muck and ill will that has grown between with a $4.3 billion deficit on the June 30 the Democratic-controlled General Assembly end of the fiscal year, a reduction of only $1 and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. Rauner billion from what is estimated if nothing is has sought changes in legal, business and po- done. Senators have said they will work with litical climates as part of agreeing to a budget the legislation so that the General Assembly and the likely tax increase necessary to cover can balance the budget. And fiscal experts costs. Democrats have resisted — it’s largely say it will take more than a year to get the been identified as a battle between Rauner and state of its fiscal mess.

It’s not so much that the administration has us under the gun as that we have no budget.”

In Brief Obamacare repeal leaves uncertain future

Repealing and replacing Obamacare isn’t a political discussion for the state of Illinois. It’s a budget discussion.

Simply put, Illinois needs Obamacare’s Medicaid money. Despite warnings from Republicans, the state added over 600,000 able-bodied men to Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. The federal government pays for almost all of their care. That was about $2 billion last year.

State Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, said Illinois doesn’t have $2 billion more for Medicaid.

“If the federal government cuts the amount that they’re paying for Medicaid to the states, that’d be a much bigger disaster to states like Illinois because we have such a large Medicaid population,” Syverson said.

Repealing and replacing Obamacare puts a huge question mark over Illinois’ Medicaid reimbursements. State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Rochelle, said Illinois is likely going to face some difficult choices in

whatever comes after Obamacare.

“It’s going to be up to states, as we walk through repeal and replace, to decide… what can states afford to do. And what can they not afford to do,” Demmer said.

Republicans in Congress are still quiet about what an Obamacare replacement will look like.

Justices reject appeal over state concealedcarry rules

The Supreme Court won’t hear an appeal challenging Illinois’ system for issuing permits for people to carry concealed weapons in public.

The justices on Monday let stand a lower court ruling that upheld the state’s requirements for obtaining a concealedcarry license.

Three men sued state officials after they said a state review board denied their permit requests without offering an adequate explanation. After the state amended its regulations in 2015, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the new requirements.

The new regulations require a review board to explain the basis for any denial and give an applicant 15 days to respond.

The men say the new rules still violate their due process rights.

State Police warn about phone scam

The Illinois State Police is warning Illinois residents about a phone scam that is happening around the state.

In a news release, the agency says people have been reporting to troopers that they have been receiving phone calls in which a voice on a recording tells them that they are under criminal investigation and that they should send $600. The calls appear to be a state police phone number.

The state police statement says people are deceived because the number has been doctored to make it appear it is a legitimate state police phone number by a practice called “ID spoofing.”

The agency is reminding people that it never solicits money on the phone.

TOXIC ENVIRONMENT Trump administration imposes freeze on EPA grants and contracts

By Andrew Revkin & Jesse Eisinger ProPublica

The Trump administration has imposed a freeze on grants and contracts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a move that could affect a significant part of the agency’s budget allocations and even threaten to disrupt core operations ranging from toxic cleanups to water quality testing, according to records and interviews.

In one email exchange obtained by ProPublica on Monday, an EPA contracting officer concluded a note to a storm water management employee this way: “Right now we are in a holding pattern.

The new EPA administration has asked that all contract and grant awards be temporarily suspended, effective immediately. Until we receive further clarification, this includes task orders and work assignments.”

Asked about any possible freeze and its implications, EPA officials did not provide an answer.

One EPA employee aware of the freeze said he had never seen anything like it in nearly a decade with the agency. Hiring freezes happened, he said, but freezes on grants and contracts seemed extraordinary. The employee said the freeze appeared to be nationwide, and as of Monday night it was not clear for how long it would be in place.

The substance of the email exchange was confirmed by one senior EPA employee with over 20 years at the agency. An EPA lawyer also said that earlier communications had described such a freeze.

Monday night, Myron Ebell, who ran the EPA transition for the incoming administration, confirmed the basics of the freeze, but said the actions were not unprecedented.

“They’re trying to freeze things to make sure nothing happens they don’t want to have happen, so any regulations going forward, contracts, grants, hires, they want to make sure to look at them first,” said Ebell, who returned over the weekend to his position directing energy and global warming policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a free-market, industry-aligned group that has long fought the EPA’s growth and influence.

“This may be a little wider than some previous administrations, but it’s very similar to what others have done,” he said.

President Trump has nominated Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the EPA. Pruitt has deep ties to the fossil fuel industry, and formed an alliance between the industry and other attorneys general to fight former President Baracks Obama’s climate proposals.

He is seen as a hero among conservatives who believe the EPA oversteps its federal authority.

Pruitt faced tough questioning and even outright skepticism during his initial confirmation hearing last week. The Washington Examiner published a statement Monday by Tom Carper, the Delaware Democrat and ranking member on the Environment and Public Works Committee, saying, “Following the committee hearing on Scott Pruitt’s nomination to head the EPA, serious questions remain about the

nominee’s record and vision for the agency he seeks to lead.”

Much about any freeze at the EPA remains unclear, including whether it affects only new grants and contracts, or may also affect the roughly $6.4 billion worth of federal contracts the EPA already has in place. EPA press offices across the country did not immediately respond to calls and emails requesting comment.

The EPA routinely contracts out services ranging from hazardous waste handling to drinking water quality testing. More than 600 active contracts with businesses ranging from small minority-owned consulting companies to institutions as big as Colorado State University can be explored here.

The environmental agency’s grants are used to support private, state and municipal level environmental testing, remediation and innovation projects. Together those programs can total more in spending than an entire year’s budget for the agency. The EPA awarded roughly $1.4 billion worth of contracts and $9.6 billion in grants in 2013, the latest year for which data was available, according to the government spending website InsideGov.com. The agency’s total budget in 2016 was $8.6 billion.

A freeze on payments would appear consistent with other actions taken on Monday, including President Trump signing an executive order instituting a hiring freeze for new federal workers — a centerpiece of the pledge he made in his “Contract with the American Voter” during the presidential campaign.

Dakota pipeline project turned back on

By Steve Holland Reuters

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump signed two orders on Tuesday to move forward with construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, rolling back key Obama administration environmental policies in favor of expanding energy infrastructure.

Trump campaigned on promises to increase domestic energy industry production and before taking office indicated he supported completion of the Dakota pipeline and revival of the Keystone XL project.

But a restart of the projects would mark a defeat for Native American tribes affected by the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Protesters had rallied for months against plans to route the $3.8 billion pipeline beneath a lake near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, saying it

threatened water resources and sacred Native American sites.

Environmental activists broadly opposed the Keystone XL pipeline and campaigned against it for more than seven years.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in January said it would begin an environmental assessment that could delay the Dakota project further. It was not clear if Trump’s order supersedes that move.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe won a key victory when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in early December turned down Energy Transfer Partners’ request for an easement to tunnel under the nearby Missouri River. Standing Rock officials were not immediately available for comment on Tuesday.

Shares of ETP, the company building the 450,000 barrel-a-day Dakota line, rose 3.5

percent in U.S. trading.

Oil producers in North Dakota’s Bakken region would likely benefit from the ability to move oil more quickly to the U.S. Gulf Coast by way of the 1,172-mile (1,885 km) pipeline.

The North Dakota Petroleum Council, the trade group for the state’s oil producers who are relying on Dakota Access to expand their crude transport options, cheered Trump’s order.

“We think this is a great step forward for energy security in America,” said Ron Ness, the council’s president.

Most of the Dakota pipeline was completed by the summer of 2016, except for a small section under Lake Oahe, a reservoir that forms part of the river.

Trump on Monday met with leaders of labor unions, including the Building and Construction trades group and the Laborers

International Union of North America, who have been vocal supporters of both pipeline projects.

Both groups had endorsed Trump rival Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. election, but disagreed with her opposition to the Keystone pipeline. Trump owned ETP stock through at least mid-2016, according to financial disclosure forms, and ETP’s chief executive, Kelcy Warren, donated $100,000 to his campaign.

U.S. Energy Secretary nominee Rick Perry was until recently on ETP’s board.

Former President Barack Obama rejected Transcanada Corp’s Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would bring Canadian crude from Alberta into the U.S. Gulf, in 2015 after environmentalists campaigned against the project for more than seven years. Transcanada did not immediate respond to a request for comment.

EPA transition team filled with industry execs

By Valerie Volcovici & Timothy Gardner Reuters

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s administration has drawn heavily from the energy industry lobby and pro-drilling think tanks to build its landing team for the Environmental Protection Agency, according to a list of the newly introduced 10-member team seen by Reuters on Monday.

The email lists at least three former researchers from think-tanks funded by the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch and at least one former lobbyist for the mining industry. Several members of the team have also publicly argued against U.S. efforts to combat climate change, a key function of the EPA under former President Barack Obama.

The team’s make-up has reinforced expectations that Trump will follow through on his promise to slash U.S. environmental regulation as a way to promote drilling and mining.

The team, charged with preparing the agency for new leadership, replaces the initial EPA transition group picked by Trump after the November election but before his swearing-in.

Trump’s nominee to run the EPA, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, is awaiting Senate confirmation.

“We are looking forward to working with the career professionals at the EPA to make this transition work as well as possible, and to carry out the Agency’s mission to protect

public health and the environment,” according to the email. “While transitions are always hard, straight forward honest communication combined with respect for each other will make the process work much better.”

Charles Munoz was named in the email as White House liaison on the new EPA team.

He was a top organizer for Trump in Nevada during his campaign for the White House and helped set up the state’s chapter of Americans for Prosperity, a political advocacy group funded by the Kochs.

Another team member, David Schnare, is a lawyer and environmental scientist who spent 33 years as a staffer at the EPA. More recently Schnare was legal counsel at The Energy & Environment Legal Institute, which has received funding from the Koch brothers-linked Donors Trust fund. The institute describes itself as seeking to correct “onerous federal and state governmental actions that negatively impact energy and the environment.”

Schnare has also worked at the Center for Environmental Stewardship at the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy, which has been funded partially by the Charles Koch Foundation.

George Sugiyama, who was part of the initial EPA transition team, is also listed part of the new team. He was chief counsel for Republican Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, a vocal climate change doubter. Before working for Inhofe, Sugiyama lobbied on behalf of the National Mining Association.

David Kreutzer is also staying on from the initial team. Kreutzer was a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a group funded by foundations controlled by Koch Industries and other energy firms. He has called Obama’s efforts to combat climate change costly and unfair to certain industries, and has advocated for more Arctic drilling.

VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY YMCA unveils downtown master plan, community challenge

ROCKFORD – The YMCA of Rock River Valley unveiled its long-term vision and plans for the I.D. Pennock Family YMCA and is asking for the community’s support to preserve this downtown staple through a phased capital campaign.

Long-time YMCA supporters Rick and Lana Engen are kicking off the campaign with a community challenge that aims to raise the first $1 million. The Engens will match each gift up to $500,000.

“As the greater Rockford area transforms to become a top 25 community, we believe the YMCA of Rock River Valley plays a crucial role in that transformation,” said Michelle Gorham, Chief Advancement Officer, YMCA of Rock River Valley. “We are so grateful to the Engens for their support and hope their generous gift will inspire others to join our effort to be a change agent that addresses some of the most vital community needs.”

The downtown facility was built in 1964.

Over the years, the 160-thousand square foot building has changed and evolved. In order to sustain for generations to come, the Y conducted a master planning process to reveal the best use of the space now and into the future.

“We have been members of the Y for 39 years and, while we love this organization, we can see it’s time for some upgrades,” said Rick Engen, YMCA board member and donor.

“We are proud of the Y’s role in this community and want to be a part of its continued evolution. We hope the community accepts our challenge and supports one of the region’s oldest organizations.”

The location of the I.D. Pennock Family YMCA offers several attributes that the Y hopes to better leverage. The first is the river front view. Part of the vision is to open up the building to capitalize on those views. Another asset is visibility along North Second Street.

There are plans for expansion and renovations to open up that side of the building so

A 6-WEEK PROGRAM

people feel more invited into the activity.

The third asset is the size of the building that offers many opportunities for potential partnerships.

“We are fortunate to have a large Y by today’s standards. That means that we have the opportunity to bring people in and make Y programs and activities more accessible to everyone no matter their age or where the live,” said Mike Brown, CEO and President, YMCA of Rock River Valley. “The Y really is for everyone and we need our community’s help to make it even more relevant today and into the future.”

During the master planning process, the Y identified the below projects to take place in the first phase. The Y is seeking $5 million in partner contributions to see the following projects through to completion.

• Pool Upgrade: improve mechanicals, add new slides, windows and pool deck.

• Main Lobby Renovation: improves accessibility and member experience.

• Third Floor Reconfiguration: accommodate a new partner organization to be announced (partner to pay portion). Repurpose other spaces for youth and family program-

ming – including teen center.

• Adventure Park Addition: space will include a trampoline park, indoor high ropes course, party rooms, a new entrance on the east side of the facility. Will be open to community for fee.

• First Floor Reconfiguration: addition of space for a new partner on the first floor including renovation of existing fitness center for partner (partner will pay for their portion of remodel), and a new corridor connecting the main lobby to the new fitness center addition.

• Main Gym Renovations: new basketball courts and new flooring, skylights to improve lighting, reconfiguration of exercise studios and wall climbing area, and renovation of Teen Center to become a transient locker area and level floor.

• Racquetball Reconfiguration: install LED fixtures in racquetball courts, reconfigure two courts into exercise studios (keeping four courts) and add windows to exercise studios.

• Riverfront Wellness Space: build enclosed structure with roof and insulated windows to overlook the Rock River and take advantage of this space as an area for programming and class space.

For more information on the capital campaign or to donate contact Michelle Gorham, Chief Advancement Officer, at 779-800-0800 or missionadvancement@rockriverymca.org.

Frank Schier | 1954-2017

FRIEND OF LOCAL ARTS T

he RAMI Steering Committee wishes to offer their condolences to the family and many friends of Frank Schier. The local music community – in fact, the entire local arts scene – as well as those working to restore and preserve the region’s resources and scenic beauty have lost a great ally with Frank’s untimely passing.

As a co-founder of the RAMI Awards, Frank played a pivotal role as our organization evolved from the informal, ad hoc group that staged the modest inaugural ceremony 26 years ago into a promoter of numerous music events that support the five college and Rockford Music Academy scholarships that the RAMIs award annually.

If I had to choose one adjective to describe Frank it would it would have to be “passionate”. Whether he was advocating for the arts, the environment, the River District or berating some governmental snafu, Frank

was normally “all in” and not prone to a lot of equivocating. In my dictionary, the antonym of Frank Schier is “half-assed”.

This of course led to Frank having a lot of personal and professional relationships that were highly contentious. Some of my fondest memories from my nearly 30-year relationship with Frank came from the days when the RAMI Committee would meet upstairs at Canova’s Restaurant. On multiple occasions the owner sent a member of his wait staff up to our table and asked Frank and I to “put a sock in it” because our “deliberations” were disturbing the live entertainment going on downstairs… and Frank and I were on the same side!

Frank, your friends and probably a lot of your enemies will miss that passion. The community will surely miss your voice.

Godspeed knucklehead.

Vibe Entertainment | Rockford Rocked Interviews

Chatting the Bare Bones’ Fenelon

By Todd Houston Contributor

R

ockford Rocked Interview: You’ve been at this music thing for a long time. Not only fronting your own bands but also touring and working with big name artists as well. Take us back to when you first got involved.

Pat Fenelon: I had an uncle that worked for WRRR here in Rockford that sold advertising and he would come and drop off these 45 rpm demos when I was about five years old.

The Platters and Ritchie Valens were the best.

I wore “La Bomba” down to a frazzle! That one really got me going. I sang in choirs for about eight years and discovered my Dad’s Gibson guitar very early on. He loved that guitar and used to play for the neighbors and stuff but was really too busy to show me much. I started taking guitar lessons around 1965 from Guzzardo’s on Albert Ave. RRI: I understand you worked with Rockford’s Cheap Trick for awhile. How did you land that gig?

PF: My buddy Muzzy sort of landed me that job around 1981 at the end of the All Shook Up tour. He was with them for a long time and hooked me up with Bun E. Carlos. I tuned guitars, sang backup vocals and whatever it took. After that I hooked up with the band Kiss as a guitar tech for Bruce Kulick on the Asylum tour .

RRI: You also went out on the road with Amy Grant, Survivor and Billy Ocean. That must have been amazing. Any cool stories about touring Europe?

PF: No but when I was with Survivor we played the famous Budakon in Japan which was cool. Of course Japan is pretty small so it

only takes you about a week to finish an entire tour (laughs). It’s weird because you could buy beer out of the pop machine there. It’s also very expensive.

RRI: Tell us about your band Bare Bones.

PF: Around 1990 I formed the band Bare Bones with Rick Pemperton, John Ross and Pat O’Brien. We worked a lot, playing at least three nights a week forever. Bare Bones has been loads of fun throughout the years, we worked our asses off and are still playing to this day.

RRI: Do you guys have any upcoming shows booked?

PF: Oh yeah, we’re doing some shows with The Sensations coming up and loads of other stuff as well.

RRI: I understand that you used to collect guitars and other musical instruments.

PF: Yeah, I love guitars and consider them a work of art. I used to have them hanging up on the walls at my home. About 15 years ago I had a bunch of them stolen which broke my heart. I ended up recovering a few of them but sadly some of them are gone for good.

RRI: What’s your favorite songs to perform live?

PF: I always liked to play “Open My Eyes”

by Nazz and “Tough it Out” by Webb Wilder.

RRI: Gibson or Fender guitars?

PF: Fender RRI: Ginger or Mary Ann? PF: Neither. The professor.

RRI: What’s next for Pat Fenelon?

PF: Well, Bare Bones is getting together to do a gig at Big Al’s on April 22 and a few other things in the works. I’m working on possibly doing some early 7 o’clock to 9 o’clock shows so I can still make my old guy bedtime. Stay tuned!

F

ans of Damien Chazelle will be familiar with the writer/director’s love for jazz. His debut feature film, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, told the tale of a Boston jazz musician with 2014’s critically acclaimed Whiplash highlighting the volatile relationship between a jazz drummer and his mentor. His latest work La La Land, further explores the themes of his previous films albeit substituting the intensity of Whiplash for the world of a warm and colourful musical.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone star as Sebastian and Mia. Sebastian is a struggling jazz musician while Mia has her own battles as an aspiring actress. After an initial and abrasive introduction, the pair strike of a friendship and eventual romance. The boy meets girl formula then plays out in expected fashion albeit in a joyous and fantastical manner. actors excelling in their roles.

long time collaborator and college classmate Justin Hurwitz. The songs don’t dominate the film, instead they compliment the story with affection and whimsical set pieces. The soundtrack is infectiously catchy for the most part and wonderfully elevate the film and outshines a plot that has been played out 90 million times before.

Although the plot is formulaic, the script is beautifully written with such care and devotion giving to the source subjects and the couple’s relationships. Far from being a roller coaster, La La Land is a pleasant ride that kicks up a gear for its grand finale that launches the audience on an intense emotional journey that will leave you feeling momentarily drained but utterly uplifted.

After cleaning up at the Golden Globes, La La Land has its sights on the Oscars and no one could begrudge the cast and crew taking home more than one little golden statue.

It’s an uplifting tale with a contagious amity that will have you unconsciously tapping the main theme for days to come.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: The new moon arrives Thursday, January 26 in Aquarius.

Many times the new moon brings in a sense of uncertainty or uneasiness that we just can’t put our finger on. The new moon in Aquarius will allow us the opportunity to go within and reflect on our long-term goals. The new moon could give us a glimpse of how to proceed if we quiet ourselves long enough to embrace the message. This is a great week to quietly observe our surroundings as well as center yourself with peace and unconditional love. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Changes with work or your financial picture are a focus during this lunar cycle. Clear away any old karmic debt and watch how the universe will bless you at this time. This is an opportunity to begin a brand new cycle.

Focus on the positive and avoid thoughts of those from your past. It just gets in your way, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20) — An opportunity for self-employed or self-contracted work will arrive at this time. Be open and receptive to this situation in the near future; even if this is already in the works you may find an additional outlet in the coming year. Your romantic opportunities are endless this next year, pick and choose carefully, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Your ability to see the other side of the story is more evident now than ever. Intuition is key, pay close attention to your dreams at this time. You’re receiving some valuable information now. Use this to your best ability and to benefit others as well. Money may appear to be trickling in, try not to let this worry you too much.You’re getting a break to rest at this time to process your emotions, take advantage of it, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — It may be time to set the record straight. Misdirected anger is causing you or another a tremendous amount of problems at this time.

These aspects could continue well into the spring if you don’t correct them now.

Lay the law down with a pushy sibling or relative and set some boundaries. It’s time make a wrong right, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — You have found yourself the center of attention all of the sudden and don’t know quite what to do with it. The past year has definitely tested your patience and left you wondering “what’s in it for me?” Expect some unexpected pleasures to roll in around this time.

Home and property are a focus this week.

In the spring you find the right fit, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — If you

have closed yourself off to the rest of the world it may be time to break free of all of those behavior patterns. Now you can see just how ridiculous this situation is and how it will never be enough. This year provides you with all of your career aspects in order.

A female is instrumental with positive changes. You can call your own shots at this time, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Now that you have your eyes wide open you can proceed with caution in the near future.

You will not be a slave to those who have no regard for your physical or emotional well being. Count to ten, and then clarify what’s going on with you and others. You’re making a major shift and this could be quite a nail biter. Remember your opinion is valued by others, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Last year there was a tremendous focus on money. This has been a test to check how materialistic you could become or have become. Many of life’s simple pleasures do not revolve around cash flow. If you were able to get through this without putting a dollar sign on everything you will have an extremely prosperous 2017. Pay close attention to your thought process at this time, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Oh it may feel like you’re kicking everyone to the curb, but you’re really just clearing away all kinds of unwanted shallow chatter now.

The loved ones that matter the most will see this and make things right for you. The ones that don’t just make room for more positive individuals around you. Money is an im-

portant factor this year, you have learned to respect it and it will definitely respect you in the coming months, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Romantic aspects appear to be arriving that are the perfect fit during this lunar cycle.

Finances may feel tight for many of you through early spring, but that will be subject to change shortly as financial windfalls align in your favor. Negotiating a housing issue can be a sore spot especially if there is an annoying family member involved.

Remember, in the long run you do have the upper hand, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — New plans and new ideas that have been swimming around in your head will take shape and form in early spring. It is worth it to take a leap of faith and allow things to unfold as they should at this time. February is a “record month” and it appears that you’re starting the new year out right. This is a time frame where you are making the right connections, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You will find that this is a time to clear the air with old emotional ties now. Try to do this in the most diplomatic way possible. You have had your fair share of losses in the recent past and others may be trying to keep you in an old time zone. Break free with diplomacy and grace. Finances will be a highlight for 2017; you finally have some solid ground under you, Pisces.

Harvesting your hops

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

We’ve now reached our final week in the hops series with the harvesting part. As a reminder, you’ll harvest cones the third year.

While you might get some cones during the first two years of establishment, you should still wait until that third year to pick any. By the third year, the harvest should be about one-half- to-2 pounds of cones from each plant. Your general yield is about 1,500 pounds of dry hops per acre based on a planting of 1,000 plants per acre. This can vary though due to variety.

Cones are mature and ready to be picked when they feel soft and slightly damp to touch. They will spring back when they are squeezed. The cones will produce a strong, “hoppy” aroma and will have a golden, yellow powder that is sticky.

There will be two options for cone harvest.

One option is to remove the whole bines when cones are ready then hand pick. This is normally how large growers will harvest theirs. The other option is that you can keep the bines trellised and harvest what you need.

This could allow you to have multiple harvests

and it could be better for short trellis options.

When you pick the cones, these will be wet, fresh cones. Some breweries and brewers want this style and they can go straight to these buyers. Drying cones is when you dry the actual cone down to 8-10 percent moisture level. This is determined by taking a subsample and drying the cone down to 0 percent utilizing weights and a microwave.

There are online calculators that can help you determine what this weight is.

Once you have dried the cones, some varieties can be stored in the freezer in a vacuum-packed bags. There are hop-baling machines available but these are for larger growers with acres of hops.

As I wrap up the hops growing series, the most important piece of advice I can give you is to experiment with different varieties in the backyard. Find out which ones work well for you. Another recommendation is to determine who is going to buy your cones.

Making contact with buyers should be one of the first steps you take when getting into hops production.

Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

Is it time to sell some 2017 soybeans?

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Soybean prices increased dramatically over the week ending Jan. 20 on reduced production estimates for the United States and increased uncertainty in the prospects for South American soybean production. Old-crop soybean cash bid prices in central Illinois ended the week at approximately $10.40. New-crop cash bid prices for harvest in central Illinois range between $9.90 and $9.94. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Todd Hubbs, the 2016-17 marketing year for soybeans, as it is currentlyshapingup,hasastrikingresemblanceto 2015-16 marketing-year expectations at this time last year. Despite the positive price outcome in 2016, a prudent soybean marketing plan for this year may possess some selling of 2017 soybeans in this price rally.

“Currently, soybean production estimates for the United States in 2016 of 4.307 billion bushels is down 1 percent from the November forecast of 4.36 billion bushels but is still a record level of production,” Hubbs says. Dec.1 soybean stocks of 2.895 billion bushels came in 40 million bushels below trade expectations and indicated strong demand. The stocks estimate for the first quarter of the marketing year indicates a disappearance of 1.61billionbushels.Firstquarter2016-17marketing-year estimates of exports and crush came in at 932.5 million bushels and 484.9 million bushels respectively. Hubbs says both numbers indicated substantial increases from last marketing year.

At this time last year, expectations for an increase in the number of acres planted in soybeans during 2016 and a potential record South American crop set up a scenario of significant downside risk for prices through the marketing year. The USDA forecasted ending stocks of U.S. soybeans at 440 million bushels on Jan. 12, 2016. U.S. exports were forecast to be 153 million bushels less than the previous marketing year.

Brazilian and Argentinian production ended up 136 million bushels smaller than expected in the January forecast and the substantial increase in planted acres did not materialize. U.S. exports ended the marketing year 245 million bushels higherthanprojectedinJanuary2016,andending stocks came in at 197 million bushels. Soybean cash prices reflected these events as the monthly average price for central Illinois increased from $8.64 in the first seven months of the marketing year to $10.26 in the last five months.

Currently, the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report forecasts soybean crush and exports for the United States at 1.93 and 2.05 billion bushels respectively. At 420 million bushels, the ending stocks forecast is the largest since the 2006-07 marketing year. Projections of

the U.S. 2016-17 marketing-year average price place it in a range of $9 - $10, which positions current harvest cash bid prices in the upper end of this range.

“Many market observers believe a dramatic increase in soybean acreage will materialize in 2017,” Hubbs says. “Estimates see the possibility of soybean acreage eclipsing corn acreage in 2017 due to the lower cost of production and a large price differential currently in place with corn. The Jan. 12 Winter Wheat Seedings report offered some support to this notion. Winter wheat plantings of 32.38 million acres are down 3.75 million acres from the previous year. This is the lowest level of winter wheat planting since 1909, and one could expect some of those acres to switch to soybeans.”

Forecasts by the USDA of Argentine soybean production currently sit at 2.09 billion bushels for the 2017 crop year. “Numerous reports out of Argentina indicate the substantial flooding in the region may reduce production by 100 to 150 million bushels,” Hubbs says. “Argentina soybean export forecasts stayed constant at 330 million bushels while import levels increased by 25.7 million bushels. Alternatively, the Brazilian soybean production forecast increased by 73.48 million bushels over the December forecast to 3.79 billion bushels. The expected increase in soybean production levels led to an increase of 40 million bushels in the forecast for Brazilian soybean exports. Taken together, USDA forecasts 5.91 billion bushels of soybean production and 2.51 billion bushels of soybeans exports from Brazil and Argentina over the marketing year.

Currently, a realization of substantial production losses in Brazil and Argentina are necessary for total production in the two countries to fall to the 5.63 billion bushels seen in 2016.”

Although possessing similarities to last marketing year, the possibility of a strong downward price movement through 2017 is substantial, Hubbs says.

“Despite strong soybean demand and production issues in South America, the possibility of a large increase in soybean acreage planted and the continuation of excellent soybean yields hang over the rest of this year. The March 31 prospective plantings report will provide the next major indication for soybean acreage for 2017. With so much production uncertainty in the United States and South America over the next few months, the current bids for 2017 harvest delivery provide a pricing opportunity for locking in prices high in the expected marketing-year average price forecast. If producers are considering increasing soybean acreage in 2017, the current prices offer an opportunity, at a minimum, to price soybeans on the expanded acreage.”

Voices from the Grave

Mystery at the Chick Hotel

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

T

homas Chick was worried. He owned the Chick Hotel for over fourteen years by 1902 and knew trouble when he saw it. It was just a feeling he had about the couple that checked into the hotel in the middle of June. They had been staying at the hotel for over three weeks and the only oddness Thomas had witnessed was that Mrs. Holt always carried a small metal box with her. But there was something about the two that Thomas did not like.

Thomas and his wife Lena had discussed the couple several times over the three weeks.

Lena had chatted with Mrs. Holt many times while serving meals. She agreed with her husband that there was something odd about the couple.

Thomas was not surprised when the couple came to him in early July and stated that they did not have the cash to pay the $45.00 bill. Mr. Holt offered to write a check and give Thomas $20.00 toward the balance. The couple would settle up once they returned from a trip to Colorado. They explained that a dear friend of Mrs. Holt was very ill and

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.

“The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.”

This week, we look back on a banner year for the area’s farmers during the Rockford’s formative days.

they needed to travel to Colorado to visit. The money would pay their passage to Colorado and they would return to settle the balance of their bill.

Thomas refused the offer and stated he would need the entire bill paid. Holt then offered to leave their luggage behind as collateral. Thomas felt compassion for the desperate couple and their situation but his instincts told him they were not to be trusted. He again refused their offer and the couple returned to their room. Thomas noticed when they exited the hotel but was not alarmed because they carried no luggage.

A few days later, Thomas realized he had not seen the couple for some time. He questioned Lena and his wife agreed that she had not seen the couple either. Thomas alerted the authorities. The police questioned the other guests and were told that Mrs. Holt had left on the train but Mr. Holt was still in town.

The authorities decided to search the room the Holt’s had rented. They were surprised to find all of the couple’s belongings placed neatly in the closet. Their surprise grew when they discovered the small metal box that Mrs. Holt always carried with her.

The permission to open the box had also been granted and a policeman was preparing to pry the lid from the top when another officer stopped him. He had noticed some small writing on the box. Their curiosity only deepened when they read, “Graceland Crematory, Chicago,Illinois. There was also the name “Charles B. Sowerby and the date, June 18, 1900.

The police decided not to open the box.

They now had more questions than answers and doubled their efforts to locate the couple.

They contacted the authorities in Aurora, Colorado and asked them to detain Mrs. Holt when she arrived on the train. She was met there by the authorities and escorted to the jail. Mr. Holt was found still in Rockford. He was brought to the jail to be questioned.

Chief Bargren question T. H. Holt and learned the whole story. The couple was not married as they had claimed and, in fact, Mrs. Holt was really Mrs. Harriet Sowerby. Holt wanted to marry Mrs. Sowerby but could not.

Mrs. Sowerby had been married to the man whose ashes were found in their room. Her husband, Charles Sowerby died two years

previously and was the heir of a large estate in England. Mrs. Sowerby was now heir to that estate but would lose the inheritance if she married again.

Mrs. Harriet Sowerby alias Holt was able to draw some money from her inheritance while in Colorado. Harriet returned to Rockford where she was reunited with both her professed husband and her real husband’s ashes. Further research revealed that Harriet moved to Denver and remained Mrs. Harriet Sowerby at least until 1939 when the records ceased.

When Chief Bargren inquired why Harriet carried her late husband’s ashes, Mrs. Sowerby stated that Charles had been a good husband and she loved him. There was no mention about Holt’s reaction to this revelation.

Business Sense

Tips for finding reliable firms to assist with fitness goals

By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

O

ne of the most popular New Years’ resolutions is to become healthier.

For many people that means joining some type of fitness club, gym or weight-loss program. If this is the year you have decided to take control of your fitness, here’s some advice that can help you evaluate programs to avoid scams and find reliable businesses.

BBB receives thousands of complaints every year about weight control services, health and diet products, as well as gyms and health clubs. Common complaints include products that never arrived, results that were not as advertised, products that caused an adverse reaction or problems canceling a gym membership.

The Federal Trade Commission took action in 2016 against nine firms selling bogus weight loss products ranging from green coffee to dietary supplements. Consumers lost millions of dollars to these scams.

Consumers who want to get in shape or lose weight should be commended for their resolve and assisted in their efforts, not fleeced by companies who make unsubstantiated claims. BBB is determined to help consumers find trustworthy businesses to meet their needs and to resolve complaints against companies.

Misunderstandings about contract terms are common with fitness and weight loss programs. Consumers need to ask questions and read contracts carefully to be sure they know how to cancel, what kind of notice is required and whether the gym will refund the unused portion of a contract. Some contracts automatically renew unless you cancel.

Before starting a weight-loss program, consumers should consult a doctor for an as-

sessment of over-all health risks. The doctor may recommend options for losing weight or exercise programs that fit your health status and your ability to stick with a program.

If your doctor prescribes a medication to assist in weight loss, ask about complications or side effects. Tell the doctor about other medications or over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements you may be taking, and report any changes you experience after taking the medication to the doctor.

Before you invest in diet or fitness plans or products, BBB offers these tips: • Avoid products that claim to help you lose weight without diet or exercise. Doctors, dieticians and other experts agree that losing weight takes work. Pass up any product that promises miraculous results without any effort.

• Be skeptical of claims that you don’t have to give up favorite foods or reduce the amount you consume. Try filling up on healthy vegetables and fruits so you can resist high-calorie treats. However, eliminating all your favorites could set you up to fail. It’s better to limit portion size or how frequently you indulge.

• Determine your fitness goals. It’s hard work to lose weight. Find a program you can stick with, and preferably one that you enjoy.

Does a weight loss plan require you to buy special foods? Can you cancel if you move or find that the program doesn’t meet your needs?

• Find a health club or exercise facility that is convenient and that offers times that fit your schedule.

• Visit the facility before joining. Check on cleanliness, adequacy of space, machines and instructors. Ask if you can try the facility out before you join. If the facility closes, can you transfer your membership to another facility?

• Consider your budget. Ask the health club about “joining” or enrollment fees and ongoing monthly costs.

• Read the entire contract and understand your rights to cancel your contract. What’s included in the monthly fee and what will cost you extra? What is the total cost, including enrollment fees and finance charges?

Check with BBB before you buy or sign a contract. Anyone can check a company’s BBB Business Profile at bbb.org/chicago.

Profiles include the firm’s complaint history and whether the complaints were resolved.

If customers have written reviews, they may appear on a company’s profile.

Tips to save and spend wisely in 2017 Did you get carried away with the holiday spirit this past season? On the heels of hefty spending, the New Year is the best time to take stock of personal finance habits and make beneficial changes for the year ahead.

Here are some useful tips and tricks to spend and save wisely in 2017.

• Think Long-Term: Don’t neglect the future. It’s never too early to save for retirement.

In fact, the sooner you start, the better off you will be. Invest through a company-sponsored plan if possible. If not, look into IRAs that can help you grow your wealth exponentially.

• Create Categorized Funds: Consider the 52-week savings challenge. In the first week, save $1, followed by $2 the second week, all the way through week 52, when you put aside $52. Sticking to this plan results in $1,378 saved at the end of the year, as well as any interest you’ve earned.

Creating a savings account for a specific purpose is a perennially sound savings strategy. Look for banks that are fee friendly, such as Ally Bank Member FDIC, ally.com, which allows you to open an Online Savings or Money Market account with no mini-

mum and no monthly maintenance fee. You can deposit money easily through e-check deposit, direct deposit and you’ll earn interest compounded daily on your savings. In addition, putting this money in a separate account allows you to track your spending against the account balance.

• Use Shopping Apps: It is incredibly easy to save money with a little online research.

With a few minutes effort, you’ll find discount codes, loyalty programs or cashback websites that track your purchases and reward you for the extra step of navigating through their shopping portal instead of going straight to the big name retailers’ websites.

• Reap Rewards: While no personal finance expert would advocate running up credit card bills one can’t afford, savvy consumers know

how to take advantage of credit card reward programs for hotel points, airline miles or just straight cash in their pockets.

“Use credit cards that reward you for the things you buy the most,” says Diane Morais, chief executive officer and president of Ally Bank, the direct banking subsidiary of Ally Financial Inc. There are often offers for opening a new credit card with a minimum spend, such as the Ally CashBack Credit Card, which provides a $100 bonus when you make $500 in eligible purchases during the first three billing cycles, and offers two percent cash back at gas stations and grocery stores, and one percent cash back on all other purchases -- as well as 10 percent bonus on rewards that are deposited into an eligible Ally Bank account.

If you don’t want to open a new account, check your current credit cards for promotions or cash back offers, which can add up quickly on everyday purchases.

With a little homework, savvy consumers can make 2017 the year they spend strategically and save more.

Business and tech roundtable Friday

The Career Education Associates of North Central Illinois (CEANCI) will host its fourth annual Business and Information Technology Round Table on Friday, January 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at Rockford Country Club, 2500 Oxford St. The purpose of a Round Table is to create the curriculum framework and content of high school career and technical programs (CTE), and develop a workforce with a specific skill set that aligns to local industry needs. The January 27 event will focus on accounting, entrepreneurship, clerical/administrative assistant, web development, graphic arts and consumer education.

Businesses are asked to participate in discussions with career and technical high school teachers about specific occupation skill sets (essential, foundation, and soft skills), emerging industry trends, occupations in high demand, industry-recognized credentials, and career ladder information.

Based on Round Table conversations our local businesses have identified a need for employee responsibility. To that end, CEANCI

recently launched the “Be Here Now” initiative on November 1, 2016. This initiative includes attendance tracking and reporting and a speaker bureau that talks to high school students about the importance of attendance.

CEANCI supports career and technical education programs that serve high school students in 14 high schools. CEANCI also supports CTE instructors and collaborates with business and higher learning to provide services to the ongoing improvement of student achievement.

To participate in the Business and Information Technology Round Table, please contact Beth Mead, CEANCI, at 815-921-1650, or email b.mead@rockvalleycollege.edu.

OSF offers pneumonia vaccines

Are you at risk for pneumonia this winter?

Pneumonia and flu are deadly illnesses that reach their peak during the winter months.

According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 900,000 Americans get pneumonia every year and 45,000 to 63,000 people die from pneumonia-related complications.

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or other organisms. As fluid accumulates in the

lung, blood flow is reduced in the area and oxygen levels are decreased throughout other parts of the body. This can quickly escalate to life-threatening complications such as low blood pressure, kidney failure or blood infection.

The best way to prevent pneumonia is by getting vaccinated. However, while a flu shot is encouraged every year, not everybody needs a pneumonia vaccine, says Brian Curtis, MD, director of Specialty Care Physician Practice for OSF Medical Group.

“The odds of getting pneumonia as a young, healthy adult are pretty low, while the odds of getting the flu are pretty good,” Dr. Curtis says. “Immunizing is a very advantageous way to help prevent a lot of illnesses. You protect yourself and you also protect those around you. There will always be a subsection of the population that will be vulnerable to pneumonia due to medical conditions or because they cannot get vaccinated. Getting yourself vaccinated also helps keep that vulnerable population safer.”

There are two pneumococcal vaccines recommended for adults. Talk with your health provider to determine which vaccine is best for you. If you don’t have a primary care physician, visit osfhealthcare.org/physicians to find one near you.

Bears offseason

Long to-do list for Pace, Fox in Soldier Field rebuild

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

I

n the Chicago Bears’ season-ending press conference on January 4, general manager Ryan Pace and company discussed the ramifications of a 3-13 season. This concerned the many “critical, critical” decisions that lie ahead such as the team’s future at quarterback or a secondary in dire need of assistance.

The focal point was about the Bears eventually throwing away their soapbox of languished depths, by using the upcoming offseason as a springboard. In a set-up for one of the more interesting build-ups for this organization in a long time, here’s key perspective on salary cap space, the top available free agents, and more.

According to ESPN, the NFL salary cap is expected to increase by approximately $10 million and settle in around $163 to $165 million. That’s up from 2016’s figure of $155.27 million. Aspects such as carry over credit will determine the concrete number but this is great news for the Bears flexibility-wise.

Much like the league mandated cap for teams’ range, the Bears will initially fall between $59.7 million and $63.7 million without projected cuts such as quarterback Jay Cutler, wide receiver Eddie Royal, and

outside linebacker Lamarr Houston. With these potential releases, Chicago can rise to around $83 to $87 million barring any other cuts of players.

There is a rookie pool teams receive to pay for their draft picks that descends by value each round. Based on a preliminary rough estimate, since Chicago currently possesses a pick in each round except for the sixth, and two in the fourth; the Bears will need to reserve $9,349,232 million total to pay their rookies.

While the team with the number one overall pick in the Cleveland Browns is projected to have the most space with $108,951,921 million, the Bears are still set up well to land some big fish and maintain their homegrown talent.

For what it’s worth, Pace did note how the Bears will be armed with “top-five cap space”.

But that figure can only be reached if Chicago ascends above $70 million. So, expect some roster tinkering.

It’s difficult to argue the Bears couldn’t use an upgrade at most areas of the field save for running back or interior offensive line, but for the purpose of this exercise let’s nail down the main five groups.

Safety: Chicago hasn’t had a stable All-Pro talent at safety since the halcyon days of Mike Brown. Since 2009, the Bears have used 25

different starting combinations at safety.

That’s way too much turnover and speaks of desperation.

According to the Athletic, the Bears primary safety duo in 2016 of Adrian Amos and Harold Jones-Quartey, each allowed a quarterback rating above 120 when targeted. That won’t get it done in a passing league emphasized around high-flying offense’s. Chicago needs a huge upswing at both slots.

Quarterback: Most expect the Bears to move on from Cutler this offseason as releasing him will create $14 million in cap space with only $2,000,000 million in dead money.

Not to mention that veteran stopgaps of Brian Hoyer, Matt Barkley, and Connor Shaw hardly look like the answer.

Pace needs to find his man to hitch his wagon to, and it will either come through a trade or a high pick in April’s draft.

Cornerback: The Bears did have the NFL’s seventh best passing defense yardage-wise, but that was buoyed significantly by a unit that was 12th in the league in sacks with 37.

There are potential keepers in Cre’Von LeBlanc or Bryce Callahan, but it’s way too early to make a judgement on LeBlanc. Meanwhile, the former undrafted free agent in Callahan has suffered injury issues during his first two years.

Add in questions surrounding the promising sophomore Deiondre’ Hall who missed a significant portion of his rookie season due to a high ankle sprain, as well as the Bears’ supposed waning belief in Kyle Fuller, and it becomes all too clear this defense needs a number one talent on the outside.

Edge: Qualifying a player as an “edge” defender merely means they are either a defensive end or outside linebacker depending on the defensive scheme they are deployed in. These are the pass rushers that define the modern championship defense.

While Chicago is stocked on the interior with Eddie Goldman, Akiem Hicks, and Jon-

athan Bullard, they would do well to acquire help on the outside.

Rookie sensation, Leonard Floyd, had a wonderful 2016, but is still too raw until further notice. The 28-year-old, Pernell McPhee, has been hampered by a bad knee in his two seasons in Chicago and would be best served in a reserve role. You could say the same for his merely solid 31-year-old counterpart Willie Young, but without the injuries.

An edge rushing force to compliment Floyd would make the Bears a terror for opposing quarterbacks.

Tight end: Incumbent 32-year-old Zach Miller is a fine player, but he’s never enjoyed a season above 500 yards receiving, nor has he ever caught more than 50 passes. One could attribute most of this to injury issues, as Miller will be coming off of a broken foot in 2017.

For the Bears, acquiring another tight end will add a dimension to their offense, have Miller in a platoon role, and would also groom said player to eventually take over full-time.

Top free agents available

• Washington Redskins QB, Kirk Cousins: Cousins is likely to stay in D.C. as Washington would be foolish to let their best bet walk. Washington can choose to franchise tag Cousins for a second time, but that will cost them $23.94 million. If they can’t come to terms with Cousins, he’ll hit the open market and someone will pony up for a player who’s had a passer rating of 101.6 and 97.2 in consecutive seasons as a full-time starter.

• Kansas City Chiefs S, Eric Berry: The top available defensive free agent is the NFL’s best center fielder. Kansas City was unable to reach a deal with the now fivetime Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro in the offseason. Now, they’ll have to either franchise tag Berry for a second time, or let him go as the Chiefs possess one of the tightest cap situations in the NFL. Berry is the exact mold of safety the Bears need and should be their number one priority.

• Pittsburgh Steelers RB, Le’Veon Bell: There is no foreseeable future where Bell leaves Pittsburgh as arguably the league’s all-around best running back.

You saw evidence of how the Steelers offense collapsed without it’s best player in this past Sunday’s AFC Championship Game. Reportedly, Pittsburgh will use the franchise tag on the 24-year-old Bell, which will pay him in excess of $10 million.

• Houston Texans CB, A.J. Bouye: After a long developmental track, Bouye was Pro Football Focus’s fourth highest rated cornerback in 2016. The 25-year-old was one of the league’s premier cover corners as he allowed just a 73.1 passer rating when targeted. Bouye has excellent technique, discipline, and make-up speed to hang with any receiver. Pace and the Bears should look to pair Bouye with Berry, as his top priority at corner.

NFL Playoffs

Harsh end to season for Pack, Steelers

By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press

T

he Steelers were roused from their slumber in the wee hours by a prank fire alarm at their Boston-area hotel — something other NFL players, including Denver All-Pro cornerback Chris Harris Jr. found curiously familiar .

And the Packers had to ride buses to Milwaukee to catch their flight to Atlanta because of dense fog in Green Bay. Maybe these disruptions in routine had something to do with their stumbles in the conference championship games Sunday when the sleepy Steelers ignored Chris Hogan all day and the foggy Packers abandoned the run right from the start.

Now, instead of meeting up in Houston six years after they squared off in Super Bowl 45, the Packers and Steelers are cleaning out their lockers while the Patriots and Falcons begin preparations for Feb. 5.

Hogan, a former college lacrosse player, found open spaces everywhere on the field against the Steelers’ sleep-walking secondary.

The fourth-year pro looked like an All-Pro in New England’s 36-17 rout as he set career

highs with nine catches and two touchdowns and piled up a team playoff record 180 yards receiving.

“It’ll be something that definitely I’ll remember for the rest of my career, and probably for the rest of my life,” Hogan said.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wasn’t playing the blame game on Hogan’s wide-open TD catches of 16 and 34 yards, the latter on a flea-flicker when he easily beat safety Mike Mitchell.

“We weren’t tight enough on coverage, we didn’t apply enough consistent pressure on the quarterback,” Tomlin said.

Three things happened early on in Atlanta’s 44-21 rout that kept the injury-riddled Packers from making it the shootout so many expected.

Mason Crosby missed a field goal that snapped his playoff streak at 23, fullback Aaron Ripkowski fumbled as he was heading into the end zone and Aaron Rodgers handed off just three times in the first half.

“We needed to keep pace with those guys and felt confident coming in here we could score points,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

“We fell behind and then we got into a game you just don’t want to play especially in this stadium. The crowd was fantastic.”

It was 31-0 by the time the Packers (12-7) scored, and by then, Rodgers was getting hit, hammered or hurried on just about every snap.

“If this has taught us anything, it’s how important home-field advantage is,” Rodgers said after the Packers’ first loss since Nov. 20.

“Being able to sleep in your own bed and practice and not have to travel and have the fan support, it makes a big difference. We’ve played in three of these (NFC championships) now and all on the road. It’s tough to win on the road.”

The Patriots held Antonio Brown in check a week after the Steelers star receiver got in trouble for livestreaming Tomlin’s postgame speech on Facebook .

And Pittsburgh (12-6) just couldn’t keep up with Tom Brady after losing Le’Veon Bell after the first quarter with a groin injury and lost for the first time since Nov. 13.

• No breaks: Rodgers was whistled for a 15yard face mask penalty when he stiff-armed cornerback Robert Alford.

“That was my first non-delay of game penalty in my career except for in junior college,” Rodgers said. “I went for the stiff arm, and I’m not a stiff-arm connoisseur, so my thumb kind of slipped through his facemask and his helmet was on loosely so the helmet came off.”

• Where’s Roger?: New England fans still bitter about Brady’s “Deflategate” suspension in September taunted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell with a chant of “Where is Roger?” Goodell hasn’t attended a Patriots home game since the Jan. 18, 2015, AFC championship game that started the controversy that led to Brady’s fourgame ban.

After accepting the Lamar Hunt Trophy, owner Bob Kraft said, “For a number of reasons, all of you in this stadium understand how big this win was.”

Martellus Bennett called out the commissioner in the locker room after the game.

“Where is he? He’s like Waldo right now,” Bennett said. “He doesn’t want to come here.

I don’t know where he’s at.”

Goodell was in Atlanta watching the other blowout.

Pats, Falcons prep for Super Bowl matchup

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

A season that began with Tom Brady serving a four-game suspension will end with him in the Super Bowl, where his New England Patriots will take on Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons.

While much of the attention between now and the NFL championship game on Feb. 5 in Houston will be focused on Brady vs. Ryan, the truly key matchup could be Atlanta’s score-at-will offense, which produced the most points during the regular season, against the unheralded defense of New England, which allowed the fewest.

And these two teams are playing their best football at the most important time.

AFC champion New England (16-2) has won nine consecutive games — and hasn’t even trailed since Nov. 27. NFC champion Atlanta (13-5) has won its past six in a row, scoring at least 33 points in each.

“We’ll enjoy this,” Ryan said after earning his first Super Bowl trip in his ninth season, “but we’ve got some work to do.”

Brady and coach Bill Belichick will be seeking their — and the Patriots’ — fifth Lombardi Trophy, and second in three years.

This will be the franchise’s league-record ninth appearance in the Super Bowl, including titles in the 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2015 editions.

“This team showed a lot of mental toughness over the course of the year,” Brady said.

The Falcons have never won the Super Bowl. This will be Atlanta’s second trip to the big game; it lost to Denver in 1999.

The club’s never had a quarterback quite as good as Ryan, though.

The guy nicknamed “Matty Ice” went 27 for 38 for 392 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions, while adding a rushing TD, to boot, leading Atlanta past Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers 44-21 on Sunday in the NFC championship game.

“We did exactly what we’ve been doing all year and it feels really good,” Ryan said after becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least three TDs in four consecutive postseason games. “We’ll be ready to go. That’s for sure.”

Later Sunday, the 39-year-old Brady tied Hall of Famer Joe Montana’s record with a ninth three-TD postseason game, helping the Patriots beat Ben Roethlisberger 36-17 for the AFC championship.

Oddsmakers didn’t even wait for the second game to end before making New England a 3-point favorite over Atlanta in the Super Bowl.

New England opened the season with a 3-1 record despite using two backup quarterbacks while playing those games without Brady after he went through a lengthy court battle in an unsuccessful bid to have his ban overturned for what became known as “Deflategate.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Brady because the league said it determined the Patriots intentionally underinflated footballs used in an AFC championship game victory two years ago.

During Sunday’s game in Foxborough, Massachusetts, spectators mocked Goodell by chanting “Where is Roger?” — he chose to attend the game in Atlanta instead.

And as well as Brady played — 32 for 42 for 384 yards, those three scores and zero interceptions — it was the way New England’s defense played that stood out.

Right from the get-go, too: On Pittsburgh’s first two drives, nine plays yielded a total of 26 yards. Then there was the stand late in the second quarter, when the

Steelers had first-and-goal at the 1-foot line and wound up settling for a field goal.

And, by game’s end, the Patriots had forced two turnovers.

New England ranked No. 1 in the NFL in points allowed per game at 15.6, and it gave up only 326.4 yards per game, eighth-best.

MVP favorite Ryan, meanwhile, directed a unit orchestrated by offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan — expected to be hired after the season as San Francisco’s new head coach, he’s the son of two-time Super Bowl champion coach Mike Shanahan — that topped the league in scoring (33.8) and ranked second in yards (415.8).

Brady, a three-time Super Bowl MVP and two-time league MVP, and the Patriots also own a pretty effective offense, even after losing star tight end Rob Gronkowski to an injury. New England ranked fourth in yards (386.2) and third in points (27.6).

Another thing these teams have in common is that neither hurts itself with turnovers: They tied for the fewest in the regular season, with 11.

That could be part of why bookies are expecting a high-scoring game, with most setting the over-under at 58 points.

Glass a wall as ‘Hogs earn road wins

By Todd Reicher Contributor

Newly acquired goaltender Jeff Glass helped the Rockford IceHogs earn two road wins in week 15.

Glass’ first start in a Rockford IceHogs uniform ended in a 1-0 shutout for the veteran netminder on Wednesday, January 18 against the Lake Erie Monsters.

Rockford struck quickly exactly three minutes into the game to score the first, and only, goal of the contest.

Jake Dowell sprung Evan Mosey on a breakaway and the rookie from Downers Grove, IL beat Anton Forsberg for his third goal of the season.

Only one penalty was given out in the first, a tripping penalty to Monsters winger Brett Gallant, but Rockford was unable to convert.

Each team would have two power play attempts in the middle frame, but both teams came up empty handed as Rockford carried

the shot load with big 14-5 advantage.

The Monsters fought valiantly late in the third period, but Glass made some incredible saves, including one on former IceHogs skater Alex Broadhurst, to preserve the lead and seal a 1-0 victory.

Two days later, both teams met again for the second game of the back-to-back series, and this time it was Rockford who would be on the other end of the shutout.

After a scoreless first period which saw Rockford outshoot the Monsters 7-5, Blake Siebenaler scored his second of the season with 2:43 remaining in the second to give Cleveland their first lead of the series. Once again, Rockford outshot the Monsters by two shots, 11-9.

Cleveland would get the all-important second goal of the game when Broadhurst scored his eighth of the season at 13:31 for a 2-0 lead.

Similar to Cleveland the previous evening, Rockford would fight feverishly at the end of

regulation, outshooting the Monsters 14-5 in the period, but Brad Thiessen and the Cleveland defense would hold Rockford scoreless as the Monsters beat Rockford 2-0.

The IceHogs continued their road trip by heading down to San Antonio to face the Rampage for another back-to-back series.

Rockford took the first lead of the game 12:16 into the first period when defenseman Gustav Forsling scored his first goal in an IceHogs uniform and his second North American goal to give Rockford the 1-0 lead.

Rockford also held court in shots with an 11-7 advantage.

The start of the second period belonged to San Antonio as the Rampage tacked on two goals in a span of four minutes to give San Antonio the lead at 2-1. A Jim O’Brien goal at 2:10 and a Garry Nunn goal at 5:58 gave the home team the lead.

San Antonio’s lead only lasted for two minutes as Brandon Mashinter set up Sam Carrick with a beautiful cross-ice feed for a one-timer to even things up at 2-2. It was Carrick’s second point of the night as the winger assisted on Forsling’s first period goal.

Despite Rockford getting the lion’s share of the chances in the third, former IceHogs goaltender Kent Simpson kept the door shut, stopping all 13 third period chances for Rockford, keeping the score tied at 2-2.

We headed to overtime where Rockford continued to earn some good looks, but were unable to convert. San Antonio didn’t get their first shot on goal in the extra session until there were 15 seconds remaining in play, but it was the only shot they needed. Rocco Grimaldi scored on an odd-man rush for his 14th goal of the season to give the Rampage the extra point.

Glass played well in his third straight outing for Rockford, despite giving up three goals on 29 shots.

Looking forward

Rockford remains in San Antonio and will play the Rampage again tonight. The team returns home for a back-to-back series against the Iowa Wild with a pair of games on Friday and Saturday.
