SAN FRANCISCO – A panel of appeals court judges reviewing President Donald Trump’s travel ban hammered away Tuesday at the federal government’s arguments that the ban was motivated by concerns about terrorism, but also questioned an attorney who said it unconstitutionally targeted Muslims.

The hearing before the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judges was the greatest legal challenge yet to the ban, which temporarily suspended the nation’s refugee program and immigration from seven mostly Muslim countries that have raised terrorism concerns.

Judge Michelle T. Friedland, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, asked whether the government has any evidence connecting the seven nations to terrorism.

August Flentje, arguing for the Justice Department, told the judges that the case was moving fast and the government had not yet included evidence to support the ban. Flentje cited a number of Somalis in the U.S. who, he said, had been connected to the al-Shabab terrorist group terror group after judges asked for evidence.

Judge Richard Clifton, a George W. Bush nominee, asked an attorney representing Washington state and Minnesota, which are challenging the ban, what evidence he had that it was motivated by religion.

“I have trouble understanding why we’re supposed to infer religious animus when in fact the vast majority of Muslims would not be affected.”

He said only 15 percent of the world’s Muslims were affected, according to his calculations, and said the “concern for terrorism from those connected to radical Islamic sects is hard to deny.”

Noah Purcell, Washington state’s solicitor general, cited public statements by Trump calling for a ban on the entry of Muslims to the U.S. He said the states did not have to show every Muslim is harmed, only that the ban was motivated by religious discrimination.

Under questioning from Clifton, a Justice Department lawyer did not dispute that Trump made the statements.

The ban has upended travel to the U.S. for more than a week and tested the new administration’s use of executive power.

The government asked the court to restore Trump’s order, contending that the president alone has the power to decide who can enter or stay in the United States. Several states insist that it is unconstitutional.

The states challenging the ban want the appellate court to allow a temporary restraining order blocking the travel ban to stand as their lawsuit moves through the legal system.

Black History Month

Ethnic Heritage Museum salutes black military units

By David Ruffin Guest Contributor

ROCKFORD – In spite of adversity and limited opportunities, African Americans have played a significant role in U.S. military history over the past 300 years. They were denied military leadership roles and skilled training because many believed they lacked qualifications for combat duty.

On Sunday, Feb. 12, from 2-4 p.m. the African American Gallery of the Ethnic Heritage Museum, 1129 S. Main St., will unveil its newest exhibit saluting African American servicemen and women and their military units.

The “Saluting Black Military Units” exhibit spotlights the accomplishments of the Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskegee Airmen, the Montford Point Marines and the servicemen who served with Operation Red Ball Express.

This exhibit will feature the Buffalo Troopers MC of Northwestern Illinois.

The Buffalo Troopers Motorcycle Club of Northwestern Illinois is a member of the National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and Troopers Motorcycle Club. The name Buffalo Soldiers was initially selected to pay homage to and ensure the legacy of African American military contributions in the post Civil War era.

The Buffalo Troopers of Northwestern Illinois was established in 2015 and is an organization of professional men and women that are dedicated to the sport of motorcycle riding and safety. The NABSTMC is an active participant in numerous charitable functions including supporting senior citizen homes, student scholarships and food and fund drives for charitable organizations, i.e. The March of Dimes and Toys for Tots. The NABSTMC has also taken the responsibility of mentors to area youth and educational programs.

The Tuskegee Airmen were America’s first black military pilots and their support personnel. They are best known for the extraordinary efforts in the air war of World War II, and for challenging the stereotypes that had kept black Americans from serving as pilots in the U.S. Armed Forces.

In 1942, President Roosevelt established a presidential directive giving African Americans an opportunity to be recruited into the Marine Corps. As a result, approximately 20,000 African American recruits received training at Montford Point Camp during World War II. Once given their chance to prove themselves, this new breed of Marines prove to be just as capable. The men of the 51st and 52nd soon distinguished themselves as the finest artillery gunners in the Marine Corps, breaking almost every

accuracy record in training.

Operation Red Ball Express was a famed truck convoy system that supplied Allied forces moving quickly through Europe after breaking out from the D-Day beaches in Normandy. In order to expedite cargo to the front, trucks emblazoned with red balls followed a similarly marked route that had been closed to civilian traffic. Of the drivers of this trucking convoy, 75 percent were of African American descent. The program came to a halt in November 1944. By that time, about 412,000 tons of various items, including gasoline, ammunition, oil, food and other needed supplies had been delivered by the Red Ball Express.

The “Salute to Black Military Units” spotlights members of the Rockford community who served in these units. They are Maj. Harris the grandfather of the Lawrence Mathews’ family (Buffalo Soldier); Col. Charles Young (Buffalo Soldier/ Commander at Camp Grant); Van Horton (Jefferson-Horton American Legion Post); Fred Hutchinson, Jr. (Tuskegee Airman); Capt. Arthur Pitts (Tuskegee Institute/ Camp Grant); Homer Hempstead (Mont-

ford Point Marines); and Robert Hearns, Sr. (Red Ball Express).

Uniforms on display are on loan from the permanent collection of Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum. The exhibit will run every Sunday, from Feb. 12 to March 19.

The Ethnic Heritage Museum preserves the cultural history of six ethnic groups that have contributed greatly to the development of southwest Rockford; African American, Hispanic, Irish, Italian, Lithuania and Polish. The museum is

open every Sunday from 2-4 p.m. General admission to the museum is $5 per adult, $3 per student, or $10 per family. Admission is free to museum members.

The museum is handicap accessible with entrance on Loomis Street; on street parking available. There is additional parking in the lot on the corner of Main and Morgan Streets next to the Graham-Ginestra House.

Tours can be arranged by calling 815962-7402. For more information visit ethnicheritagemuseum.org.

Drain that swamp

Pay-for-play DeVos confirmed as education secretary

By Casey Quinlan ThinkProgress.org

Betsy DeVos, a Michigan-based philanthropist, was confirmed to serve as the education secretary in the Trump administration on Tuesday after massive resistance from Democrats and protesters.

Although DeVos has no experience working at a public school or attending a public school, she is now tasked with running an agency that oversees the country’s public education system.

After a deadlock in the Senate over DeVos’ confirmation, Vice President Mike Pence cast a historically unprecedented tie-breaking vote to move her confirmation forward. It was the first time in the nation’s history that a vice president has had to step in to resolve a tie on a cabinet nomination.

Two moderate Republicans, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-AK, and Susan Collins, R-ME, withheld support for DeVos’ confirmation after tens of thousands of phone calls from activists and constituents demanding their senators reject DeVos. On Monday afternoon, Democrats opposed her nomination by holding the Senate floor in an effort to persuade more Republicans to oppose her. They continued to speak against her nomination overnight.

Senators and teachers unions were even more outspoken in their opposition to DeVos after her confirmation hearing, during which she claimed to be confused about a federal law protecting students with disabilities, refused to say she wouldn’t privatize the education system, and said guns in schools were sometimes necessary to protect students from grizzly bears.

Over the past couple weeks, senators’ offices have been flooded with thousands of calls and there have been multiple protests against DeVos by teachers unions and their allies. On Monday, hundreds of people, many of them educators, stood outside Capitol Hill to protest her nomination.

The opposition to DeVos was so fierce that, in the last few days before her Senate vote, someone paid sites such as Swagbucks.com and Instagc.com to pay people to go to SupportDeVos.com and support her nomination.

Lawmakers who voted against DeVos said they were concerned about whether rural schools would served by private school vouchers since many rural communities don’t have private school options. Sen. Claire McClaskill (D-MO) hammered at this point minutes before the final vote and said Trump’s decision to tap DeVos for education secretary is a betrayal of many of the people who voted for him.

“The reddest part of my state are places where there are no private schools … In rural areas of this country, there are no private schools for parents and kids to choose,” McClaskill said. “They are kicking in the shins the very voters that put them in power.”

In addition to her inability to answer simple questions at the confirmation hearing, government ethics paperwork found that DeVos will be required to divest from 102 of her financial holdings that could pose a conflict of interest in herroleaseducationsecretary.Shehasagreedto end her financial relationship with many of the companies that posed a conflict, but hasn’t cut off ties with others. She also failed to complete supplemental information senators requested for some of her financial holdings. DeVos may have also plagiarized some of her answers to senators’ questions about her positions on numerous issues, The Associated Press reported.

During Democrats’ all-night floor session to oppose DeVos, they focused on her financial holdings, her lack of experience working in public education, and her inability to commit to upholding basic civil rights protections.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI, said he was concerned about DeVos’ ties to dark money operations. Sitting Republican senators have received more than $900,000 from DeVos and her family.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-WA, said she did not see how DeVos could serve the interests of public school students, given her lack of experience in the public school system, either as a teacher or a student.

“I can understand a woman who is billionaire wanting companies to succeed, but our public education system is not a company,” Murray said.

Despite her successful confirmation, national teachers union leaders say they will continue to hold DeVos accountable.

“No nominee has united Republicans and Democrats the way DeVos has. The level of energy is palpable,” National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen García said in a statement to ThinkProgress. “We are going to watch what Betsy DeVos does.

And we are going to hold her accountable for the actions and decisions she makes on behalf of the more than 50 million students in our nation’s public schools.”

In a statement, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said DeVos’ confirmation represented a “sad day for children.”

“It’s telling that even when Trump had full control of the legislative and executive branches, he could only get DeVos confirmed by an unprecedented tiebreaking vote by his vice president,” Weingartern said.

The root of ‘leadership’ is ‘lead’

By Rich Miller

he latest Illinois credit rating downgrade from Fitch Ratings is chock full of phrases that could be used in the next campaign cycle against the governor and other incumbents.

The one that’s made the most headlines is “Unprecedented failure,” as in Fitch’s downgrade “reflects the unprecedented failure of the state to enact a full budget for two consecutive years and the financial implications of spending far in excess of available revenues, which has resulted in increased accumulated liabilities and reduced financial flexibility.”

But that’s just stating the obvious. Pretty much anybody paying half attention out there knows the people who run the government are participating in an “unprecedented failure.” This has never happened before in Illinois, or in any other state for that matter.

However, here’s another Fitch phrase: “Fundamentally weakened,” as in “Even if the current attempts at a resolution to the extended impasse prove successful, Fitch believes that the failure to act to date has fundamentally weakened the state’s financial profile.”

In other words, digging out from under this impasse is going to be a long, hard, painful slog. And the longer the impasse lasts, the more difficult that process will become.

As the state’s economic activity appears to slow, a third Fitch observation is worth noting here: “Illinois has failed to capitalize on the economic growth of recent years to bolster its financial position.”

While other states were piling up surpluses

during the national economic recovery, Illinois was creating a mountain of debt mainly because Democrats allowed the 2011 tax hike to partially expire and the Republican governor wouldn’t negotiate a new revenue and spending deal until he got his precious economic reforms. So if the national economy does enter a recession in the coming months, Illinois will be in a truly horrible spot.

One more phrase from Fitch: “Very weak,” as in “Illinois’ operating performance, both during the great recession and in this subsequent period of economic growth, has been very weak.”

Starting in 2002, Illinois has elected three governors in a row who can’t seem to get their arms around the job. And, instead of helping them do their jobs, legislative Democrats, particularly in the House, have preferred to fight and obstruct them. Even the income tax hike turned out to be a failure because it was temporary, expiring midway through a fiscal year while a Democratic governor was heading out the door. “Very weak,” indeed.

And speaking of weak, Gov. Bruce Rauner indicated to the Chicago Tribune last week that he plans to propose a budget much like the one he unveiled last year. In other words, yet another punt.

Last year, the governor punted on $3.5 billion in cuts needed to put his proposal into balance. Instead of outlining the actual cuts, and therefore wearing the political jacket for suggesting those cuts, he simply said he was willing to work with the General Assembly on finding where to cut or the GA could give him the authority to make the cuts on his own—without first

explaining where he would cut.

If cuts became necessary, the governor told his legislative audience last year, “I would ask the legislature to work with us to make these tough decisions. If you are not willing to do that, then give the Executive Branch the flexibility to reallocate resources and make reductions to state spending as necessary.”

And this is what Gov. Rauner told the Tribune last week: “Either the General Assembly authorizes me to make cuts, not my first choice but I’ll do that, or let’s work together to do a balanced budget with cuts and, what I prefer is, a balance of cuts, some revenues and major structural change.”

State law forbids governors from using revenue streams that aren’t currently in place to balance their budget proposals.

Rod Blagojevich did that time and time again, coming up with tax or fee plans that magically balanced his proposal. But every reform has its downside, and the downside to this one is that instead of using phony revenues to balance a budget plan, Gov. Rauner has used phony cuts.

The root of “leadership” is “lead,” and that, by definition, means going first. Our state Constitution, however flawed, built that leadership into its two main budgetary mandates. First, the governor proposes a balanced budget, then the General Assembly passes a balanced spending plan.

Neither have worked out too well of late, or for quite a while. But the state constitutional convention delegates obviously wanted governors to lead.

Instead, we get six downgrades in the last two years.

In Brief Agency warns of tax refund fraud

T

There’s a new fear this tax season: That someone else has claimed your income tax refund first. ID thieves are using stolen social security numbers to file fake tax returns and claim real refunds.

Terry Horstman with the Illinois Department of Revenue said taxpayers call every year during tax season and say someone already claimed their refund.

“A lot of times, historically speaking, fraudsters try and file taxes returns early to try and get a jump on people who are waiting to file returns,” Horstman explained.

Tax theft is growing in both size and scope.

“Our fraud prevention efforts resulted in saving over $20-million in calender year 2016,” Horstman said.

If you find that someone has filed for your tax return, Horstman said to call the Department of Revenue. You can also check the state’s tax website My Tax Illinois to see if there’s a refund pending.

KEWANEE — The Illinois Department of Corrections is opening its first facility for offenders nearing the end of their sentences where they can learn important life skills.

The Life Skills Re-entry Center is located in a former youth correctional site in the western Illinois town of Kewanee that had been targeted for closure.

The new facility will teach inmates skills to help them readjust to society outside of prison, such as how to manage a bank account, get a job or use the latest technology.

In a news release Monday, IDOC Director John Baldwin says the center is aimed at ending a “revolving door” in which nearly half of inmates who leave state custody return within three years.

The facility will begin taking inmates as early as Feb. 16.

SPRINGFIELD — Legislation has been introduced in the Illinois Legislature that would allow 16- and 17-year-olds register for the state’s organ and tissue donor registry.

The legislation has the backing of Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s office. It was introduced by state Sen. Mattie Hunter of Chicago and state Rep. Deb Conroy of Villa Park, both Democrats.

The measure would let 16- and 17-year-olds become part of the registry when they register to drive or register for their state identification card. It would amend the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act, which requires those joining the donor registry to be at least age 18.

Those under age 18 who register would give consent to donate their organs and tissues, but only after efforts have been made to contact a parent or guardian.

County

Questions still need asked on juvenile detention programs

By John Guevara Contributor

T

he Winnebago County Board has decided enough is enough, at least with regard to more personnel at the Juvenile Detention Center.

In a joint meeting of the Public Safety and Finance Committees Last Thursday night, only two board members supported the move to hire two additional Juvenile Detention Center officers.

County Board member Aaron Booker, R-1, supports the move for three reasons.

First, he says: it will be funded from the extra $50,000 collected in the Detention Home Property Tax Levy which is available this fiscal year.

“Just because I vote yes this year doesn’t mean I will vote yes next year,” Booker said.

He added that Chief Judge Joe McGraw and staff argue that there is considerably more liability exposure for transporting unshackled juveniles as required by the new Illinois Supreme Court Rule 941.

And finally, Booker said sheriff ’s deputies currently are utilized to help transport juveniles from the juvenile detention center to court and they could make better use of that time.

Minority Caucus Leader Joe Hoffman, D-10, voted no. Hoffman spent 36 years working in juvenile detention, the last 12 as superintendent.

Hoffman took issue with the idea that the two full time positions would allow two deputies to spend their time fighting crime.

“The numbers don’t add up for me. We may need more staff but I don’t know that we need full time staff, or that many fulltime staff.”

He said that deputies have been occasionally transporting juveniles to and from court since he started at the detention center in 1972. It wasn’t their full-time job and it isn’t their full-time job now.

It seems that the positions have already been filled even though the board has not, and likely will not, approve the funding.

If the full county board votes down the funding request, Hoffman thinks the

court will order the county to fund the positions. A source in the 17th Circuit says if the funding request is denied “the Court would have to take appropriate action.”

The Circuit Court wrote a memo to Winnebago County explaining that they preferred hiring full time staff to utilizing more part time staff, or maintaining the status quo. The memo did not address why privatizing transport is not an option; it only said the Court system is responsible for transporting juveniles to court.

Some have asked that if liability is an issue for the county, wouldn’t privatizing the service would reduce the risk?

Private transport saves money on health benefits and pension contributions for full time employees. Private transport saves money for the county on pension contributions and overtime if the court chose to use a mix of additional part time and current full time employees. It also saves on workmen’s compensation contributions and eliminates claims against the county.

Shouldn’t every question be answered before choosing which direction to take?

Winnebago County is running a deficit.

Knowing there was a surplus in one property tax fund should make people wonder how many other funds ran a surplus. If so, what are the departments doing with that money? What are they doing to improve efficiency and eliminate waste?

For example, in the same meeting, Operations Committee Chairman Gary Jury asked the Chief Deputy of the Winnebago County Circuit Clerk’s office, Tom Lawson, how many circuit court judges had gone paperless since the court case management system was implemented almost a decade ago. Mr. Lawson says six of the 19 judges hearing cases in Winnebago County are currently completely paperless.

Most of the time government moves at the speed of molasses spilling uphill. Deficits only change the direction. It is we the people’s responsibility to ensure legislators and elected administrators are serving our interests. Call your board member and tell them what you think.

The GOP’s endless fight to defund the arts

By Aaron D. Knochel The Conversation

R

ecent reports indicate that Trump administration officials have circulated plans to defund the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA), putting this agency on the chopping block – again.

Conservatives have sought to eliminate the NEA since the Reagan administration. In the past, arguments were limited to the content of specific state-sponsored works that were deemed offensive or immoral – an offshoot of the culture wars.

Now the cuts are largely driven by an ideology to shrink the federal government and decentralize power. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, argues that government should not use its “coercive power of taxation” to fund arts and humanities programs that are neither “necessary nor prudent.” The federal government, in other words, has no business supporting culture. Period.

But there are two major flaws in conservatives’ latest attack on the NEA: The aim to decentralize the government could end up dealing local communities a major blow, and it ignores the economic contribution of this tiny line item expense.

The relationship between government and the arts

Historically, the relationship between the state and culture is as fundamental as the idea of the state itself. The West, in particular, has witnessed an evolution from royal and religious patronage of the arts to a diverse range of arts funding that includes sales, private donors, foundations, corporations, endowments and the government.

Prior to the formation of the NEA in 1965, the federal government strategically funded cultural projects of national interest.

For example, the Commerce Department subsidized the film industry in the 1920s and helped Walt Disney skirt bankruptcy during World War II. The same could be said for the broad range of New Deal economic relief programs, like the Public Works of Art Project and the Works Progress Administration, which employed artists and cultural workers. The CIA even joined in, funding Abstract Expressionist artists as a cultural counterweight to Soviet Realism during the Cold War. The NEA came about during the Cold War. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy asserted the political and ideological importance of artists as critical thinkers, provocateurs and powerful contributors to the strength of a democratic society. His

attitude was part of a broader bipartisan movement to form a national entity to promote American arts and culture at home and abroad. By 1965, President Johnson took up Kennedy’s legacy, signing the National Arts and Cultural Development Act of 1964 – which established the National Council on the Arts – and the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965, which established the NEA. Since its inception, the NEA has weathered criticism from the left and right. The right generally argues state funding for culture shouldn’t be the government’s business, while some on the left have expressed concern about how the funding might come with constraints on creative freedoms. Despite complaints from both sides, the United States has never had a fully articulated, coherent national policy on culture, unless – as historian Michael Kammen suggests – deciding not to have one is, in fact, policy.

Flare-ups in the culture wars Targeting of the NEA has had more to do with the kind of art the government funded than any discernible impact to the budget.

The amount in question – roughly US$148 million – is a drop in the morass of a $3.9 trillion federal budget.

Instead, the arts were a focus of the culture wars that erupted in the 1980s, which often invoked legislative grandstanding for elimination of the NEA. Hot-button NEA-funded pieces included Andre Serrano’s “Immersion (Piss Christ)” (1987), Robert Mapplethorpe’s photo exhibit “The Perfect Moment” (1989) and the case of the “NEA Four,” which involved the rejection of NEA grant applicants by performance artists Karen Finley, Tim Miller, John Fleck and Holly Hughes.

In each case, conservative legislators isolated an artist’s work – connected to NEA funding – that was objectionable due to its sexual or controversial content, such as Serrano’s use of Christian iconography.

These artists’ works, then, were used to stoke a public debate about normative values. Artists were the targets, but often museum staff and curators bore the brunt of these assaults.

The NEA four were significant because the artists had grants unlawfully rejected based upon standards of decency that were eventually deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1998.

As recently as 2011, former Congressmen John Boehner and Eric Cantor targeted the inclusion of David Wojnarowicz’s “A Fire in My Belly, A Work in Progress” (1986-87) in a Smithsonian exhibition to renew calls to eliminate the NEA. In all these cases, the NEA had funded

artists who either brought attention to the AIDS crisis (Wojnarowicz), invoked religious freedoms (Serrano) or explored feminist and LGBTQ issues (Mapplethorpe and the four performance artists). Controversial artists push the boundaries of what art does, not just what art is; in these cases, the artists were able to powerfully communicate social and political issues that elicited the particular ire of conservatives.

A local impact

But today, it’s not about the art itself. It’s about limiting the scope and size of the federal government. And that ideological push presents real threats to our economy and our communities.

Organizations like the Heritage Foundation fail to take into account that eliminating the NEA actually causes the collapse of a vast network of regionally controlled, state-level arts agencies and local councils. In other words, they won’t simply be defunding a centralized bureaucracy that dictates elite culture from the sequestered halls of Washington, D.C. The NEA is required by law to distribute 40 percent of its budget to arts agencies in all 50 states and six U.S. jurisdictions.

Many communities – such as Princeton, New Jersey, which could lose funding to local cultural institutions like the McCarter Theatre – are anxious about how threats to the NEA will affect their community.

Therein lies the misguided logic of the argument for defunding: It targets the NEA but in effect threatens funding for programs like the Creede Repertory Theatre – which serves rural and underserved communities in states like Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma and Arizona – and Appalshop, a community radio station and media center that creates public art installations and multimedia tours in Jenkins, Kentucky to celebrate Appalachian cultural identity.

While the present administration and the conservative movement claim they’re simply trying to save taxpayer dollars, they also ignore the significant economic impacts of the arts. The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the arts and culture industry generated $704.8 billion of economic activity in 2013 and employed nearly five million people. For every dollar of NEA funding, there are seven dollars of funding from other private and public funds. Elimination of the agency endangers this economic vitality.

Ultimately, the Trump administration needs to decide whether artistic and cultural work is important to a thriving economy and democracy.

Energy & Environment

Air pollution is a global phenomenon – seeing is believing

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Illinois Renewable Energy Association

A

round the time of the first Earth Day, we spent a couple of summers in New Jersey teaching a high school environmental course sponsored by a local environmental organization.

The sun never rose that summer. Instead, in mid-morning, an icy, white light appeared in the ashy sky. It was a shock to us.

We also did an environmental inventory of the Meadowlands for the same organization to gather data to use as testimony in an effort to protect them from further filling with construction debris and continued encroachment from development. We assume the data was later used in an unsuccessful effort to block what became known as the NFL’s Meadowlands Stadium.

Since it was a private school near Bernardsville, populated by influential corporate leaders, we had casual discussions with them regarding environmental issues. An oil company executive indicated his firm’s willingness to meet environmental standards if they applied across the United States. His main interests were

by having uniform national standards so oil refineries could be built wherever industry chose.

Later when we drove along the Jersey shore we were shocked by the extensive collection of fire and smoke belching oil refineries. Beyond the shock was the thought that even with federal standards the ever-expanding reliance on oil and its byproducts would offset the benefits of limited regulations.

Years later, we spent a week in Mexico City at an auto emissions conference aimed at finding solutions to the ever-increasing levels of smog engulfing the city. When we arrived during the early evening we did not realize the surrounding mountains could be seen from our room. The next morning we were surprised to have a clear view of the mountains but watched a mass of smog slowly rise up the mountainside eventually obscuring them from view as the volume of auto traffic steadily climbed.

Among the many potential solutions being discussed was a proposal to cut holes in the surrounding mountains to allow the smog to escape into the countryside. Another was to limit the number of days a car

activities do have an impact on the global environment. And while the impacts of climate change are not directly visible, the associated problems are real and extremely costly but unseen in the price of gasoline and other fossil fuels. Since marketplace solutions have failed to correct pollution problems, prices that include pollution costs and effective, properly enforced regulations are essential to protecting our health and that of the planet.

could be driven into the city during the week to lessen traffic density. A policy was implemented toward that end but local citizens bought second, older cars to drive on the days they could not drive their first car. The older cars emitted far more pollution and the plan was scrapped.

We saw similar blankets of smog in Lima and Tokyo. In Tokyo we were surprised by the omnipresent face masks on citizens in an attempt to limit the impacts of air pollution. Additionally, a friend who within the past year traveled to Phoenix reported seeing smog rising over the city in the early morning as he drove down the mountainside.

While air pollution levels in some cities in China and India now hit the headlines, the problem in other places has not disappeared; it is just not as bad in comparison to the worst. As the quest for fossil fuel consumption and elimination of environmental standards gains headway in the United States pollution levels could rise dramatically here.

We travel far less these days as our work no longer requires it. But those experiences made it abundantly clear that human

VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY YMCA, Judson U announce partnership

ROCKFORD – The YMCA of Rock River Valley and Judson University will soon be sharing space in an effort to create a campus destination in downtown Rockford that organizers say will be focused on helping community members pursue a healthy spirit, mind and body.

Judson will relocate its Rockford campus inside the I.D. Pennock Family YMCA at 200 Y Blvd. with construction beginning in February 2017 with classes ready to launch in Fall 2017.

The I.D. Pennock Family YMCA has been a riverfront destination since it opened in 1964. As downtown Rockford undergoes continued revitalization, the Y leadership believes its flagship location is positioned to play an important part in the city’s future. In order to ensure the viability of the facility for generations to come, a long-term master plan was created. The branch is a 160-thousand square foot facility, but the Y says it determined it only needs 70-80,000 square feet to operate programs and services.

“Our vision is to create a place where members, students and residents can go to become a stronger version of themselves – whether its through fitness, education or family time,” said Mike Brown, CEO, YMCA of Rock River Valley. “We believe Judson University is the perfect partner to help us achieve this goal. It allows both organizations to expand offerings, which is a win for YMCA members and Judson students.”

As Christian-based organizations, the YMCA and Judson share similar values focused on developing and strengthening communities through the empowerment of its members and students.

“Our community has a need for increased access to educational opportunities, however a lack of childcare serves as a barrier to many adults who would like to pursue higher education degrees,” the YMCA said in a statement.

The partners say the transition will remove barriers to education, as the location in the I.D. Pennock Family YMCA will provide students access to all the amenities the Y has to offer, including childcare, access to health and wellness facilities and a restaurant on-site. Additionally, Judson has committed to awarding a two-year scholarship each year to a candidate chosen by the YMCA who wishes to pursue a

bachelor’s or associate’s degree.

“We are honored to partner with the YMCA in their mission. This partnership will make both organizations stronger and serve our Rockford students better in every way,” says Dr. David Cook, dean of Judson’s School of Business and Professional Studies. “Our students will benefit from access to free child care when they are in class as well as an outstanding facility to maintain their physical fitness.”

Judson’s new classrooms will offer an opportunity for Y members to take evening college courses in the Adult Professional Degree Program. Additionally, the Y will have access to these state-of-the art facilities during the day to run its Elevate GED program, YMCA trainings and other education-based programs.

Planners say Judson will occupy 10 thousand square feet of space on the third and portions of the second floor.

–Staff report

Discovery Center awarded after school grant The Discovery Center Museum announced that it has received a $27,422 grant for STEM Learning Opportunities in Rockford School District 205 After School Achievement Program (ASAP) and United Way After School Program.

The grant was awarded by the Barber-Colman Management Fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois’ Community Grants Program.

For 16 years Discovery Center has collaborated with Rockford Public Schools, participating in the District’s After School Achievement Program (ASAP) to provide learning opportunities related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

During the last three years, Discovery Center has served as lead agency in multiple schools, coordinating staff to provide homework assistance, skill building, and

STEM enrichment activities for 140 days each school year.

Discovery Center currently has programming at Conklin and Lathrop elementary schools, as well as the United Way-funded Nelson after-school program.

Students who participate in the ASAP show positive growth in math and reading on local assessments.

With funding from CFNIL, STEM learning opportunities are being expanded to an additional nine after-school programs in District 205. Discovery Center will deliver hands-on interactive STEM activities twice a month to the schools and host a school-wide STEM Family Night at each school. In addition, all students in the ASAP program will visit Discovery Center on a STEM focused field trip. Focused field trips combine time interacting with museum exhibits, as well as hands-on activities and instruction in a museum classroom that focus on a particular science topic.

“Encouraging children and their families to explore science and math is the core of our mission,” explains Discovery Center executive Director Sarah Wolf. “This grant will expand the opportunities for students in the Rockford after school programs to have fun, hands-on experiences with science and hopefully spark interest in science and math beyond their classroom and museum experiences,” Wolf adds.

Commentary

F

You people made me give up my peanut farm before I got to be President

or generations, U.S. presidents have gone to great lengths to avoid potential conflicts of interest. When I was elected, I followed suit by placing my small business in a blind trust to assure our citizens that I would always put the country’s interests ahead of my own.

It’s a vital presidential tradition. That’s why I find it a bit curious that our new commander-in-chief has been allowed to ignore it.

For Christ’s sake, you people made me get rid of my peanut farm before you let me be president.

I grew up on that farm. When my father died, I moved back home and worked those fields with my own two hands to keep it afloat. It was a hard job, but it was so rewarding. It wasn’t just a business—it was the place I called home. Letting go of the family farm was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but I did it because the American people asked me to.

Jimmy Carter

I did it for their sake, without enthusiasm, but also without hesitation.

Boy, times sure have changed, haven’t they? I couldn’t help but notice that the current occupant of the White House owns more than 500 companies, has business interests across the Middle East and Asia, and owes hundreds of millions of dollars to banks he is now responsible for regulating. It seems a touch unfair that a bigger fuss was made about my little peanut operation than all his office towers, hotels, and golf courses combined.

All I had was a farm, you know? A small, precious farm.

Seriously, it was just a few fields and a warehouse, and you idiots still appointed a special prosecutor and spent six months investigating it.

Not a day goes by when I don’t think about what life would be like if I still had my peanut farm. I miss it so much.

I miss feeling the sun on my face. I miss the earth in my hands. Sometimes, I’d go out to the fields before dawn. I’d watch the sun come up, watch it cast golden light on my plants, row by row.

It was so calm; so quiet. Those were some of the best days of my life. It sure would’ve been nice to live out the rest of my years there, but I had to do what was right. I suppose only some of us have to.

God, I loved that peanut farm!

And where were my conflicts of interest, exactly? Seriously, do enlighten me, America, because I honestly have no

idea. Did you worry I might be cutting deals in back rooms with the peanut butter lobby? Or that I might be too busy at harvest time to focus on the economy or the Middle East? Apparently, you did, and almost obsessively. Meanwhile, your new president holds a lease from the federal government to operate a $200 million hotel six blocks from the White House. I mean, come on!

Maybe I’m just a sucker. Apparently, all I needed to do was hand off control of the farm to my family. If I’d staged an elaborate song and dance about distancing myself—whatever that means— from all the day-to-day planting, picking, and salting, maybe I could have kept my peanut farm with the full blessing of you, the American people.

Besides, that peanut farm would probably be worth $200 million today, easy.

Letters to the Editor Frank’s passion for the arts sustains

I am remembering Frank and Gary Wilmer (Ram Magazine) when we were all young and full of Rockford fire. Frank was a bar manager at the time I met him, who told me he wanted to write poetry. It could be said that Rockford was his poetic notebook, and Frank continued burning with that fire for decades to come.

To me, Frank will always be remembered as Rockford’s version of Perry White and the Daily Planet.

Faithful reader Richard writes in

First some bona fides........ I belong to two (2) high IQ societies, and retired after running four (4) corporations. I give you this to buttress the observation that follows.

I am widely read and widely published.

I have never found another newspaper that comes even close to the consistent leftist slant of the Rock River Times, front to

back, issue to issue.

If it is leftist, socialist, progressive, Democrat [sic] Party backed, then the RRT supports and endorses it. Unfortunately, it makes what otherwise might be a good alternative “news” source into a propaganda machine of which Goebbels would be proud. In doing so, the RRT becomes a sort of sick joke. It’s shame really. An opportunity lost.

More casinos will not solve the budget impasse

One of the 13 bills linked together in the “grand bargain” budget plan is a massive expansion of gambling. Senate Bill 7 doubles the amount of casinos in Illinois – City-owned casino in Chicago, Rockford, Danville, Lake County, South Suburbs, Williamson County, and 4 casinos at racetracks.

Legislators are counting on one-time fees from casinos to bring in revenue.

However, by lowering casino taxes and

not taxing “comps” (hotel rooms, food, coupons, etc.) given to gamblers, the state will get less revenue. “It is well-established academically that the socio-economic costs of gambling to the taxpayer are $3 or more for every $1 of benefits,” said Prof.

John Kindt, editor of the U. S. International Gaming Report.

The Lottery did not solve education funding, and more casinos will not solve the budget impasse. Illinois has 10 casinos, 25,000 video gambling machines in over 5,700 neighborhood casinos, horse racing at 3 tracks, 21 Off Track Betting parlors, Internet wagering on horseracing, Internet Lottery, and charitable gambling. If gambling were the answer, the State should be flush with money instead of billions of dollars in debt.

Gambling is an unstable source of revenue that comes with a high human cost of addiction bankruptcy, crime, family problems, child neglect, and suicide. People who have never been in trouble with the law have been sent to prison because of crimes they committed to fuel a gambling addiction.

Illinois cannot afford another huge giveaway to wealthy gambling interests.

Call your State Senator and Representative at 217-782-2000 and ask them to vote NO on SB 7.

Anita Bedell Executive Director, Illinois Church Action on Alcohol & Addiction Problems

Thanks to Chief O’Shea for stirring discussion

Just got done reading your two pieces on crime in the Feb. 1 issue by Shane Nicholson and John Guevara. I really appreciated the perspectives they supplied and just wanted to let you know that I attended Transform Rockford’s Road Map Reveal event a little while back and was stirred by Chief O’Shea’s presentation. The articles reminded me of that and “re-stirred” me to start reaching out and seeing how I personally can make a contribution in this area of our community.

Thank you.

Split a chilling and exciting piece by Shyamalan

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

O

nce the darling of Hollywood, M. Knight Shyamalan became a bit of a laughing stock among critics as his films got more absurd and less interesting. Known for his shocking and at times ingenious twists, Shyamalan had a poor run of form with big budget films that culminated in 2013’s woeful After Earth. In 2015 he teamed up with Blumhouse Productions, who have mastered the art of high box office returns on smaller budgets, for 2015’s The Visit. The film received mixed reviews but it was arguably the best thing the director had done in years. It was also very profitable.

The partnership continues with Split, a horrifying tale about Kevin (James McAvoy), a young man with dissociative identity disorder that has manifested into 23 different personalities. Kevin is able to live a normal life for the most part with one of his identities, the harmless Barry, taking the light as he calls it. Not all the personalities are benevolent and when Dennis takes the light he kidnaps three young girls and locks them up. Having aligned himself

with another identity, Patricia, the two lay out their plans for the girls, suggesting they will be an offering for a new personality yet to emerge, The Beast.

With Split Shyamalan shows why, when he’s on his game, he’s a masterful storyteller. He presents a no frills story that’s

A special screening to help understand the impact the digital age has on our children and how to minimize the harmful affects of too much screen time.

beautifully simple in its execution despite the complex premise of its main character.

McAvoy is magnificent as Kevin as he transitions from one personality to the next. Each character he portrays is uniquely different as he elicits sympathy for one persona while terrifying us with another.

It’s an extraordinary performance by the Scotsman.

As to be expected of a Shyamalan story, audiences will be anticipating a huge twist.

It’s difficult to describe the reveal without spoiling it but rest assured that although it’s likely to divide audiences, it will have many gasp in astonishment. Shyamalan teases us through the film with flashback sequences of one of the girls Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy). Her own tragic past is carefully unraveled with Kevin’s psychiatrist, Dr. Karen Fletcher (Betty Buckley) providing an interesting link between the abductor and his abductees, Casey specifically. The tension is unbearable as we worry about what The Beast is and what it’ll do to the girls, however the most uncomfortable scenes are perhaps Kevin’s appointments with Fletcher as Buckley and McAvoy perform a subtle game of chess through conversation, albeit one that could result in severe consequences.

The end result is a thrilling horror that’s mercifully unpretentious in its execution.

Exciting and chilling, Split will have you glued to the screen as you hug the edge of your seat.

Vibe Entertainment | Rockford Rocked Interviews

Chatting with Alex Johnson of So Called Saints

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

If you click the About tab on The So Called Saints Facebook page it reads: “Hard hitting Midwest Heavy Nu-Metal at its finest.” Being sort of an old guy I wasn’t quite sure what that meant. I needed to investigate further so I followed a link to Reverb Nation and turned up the volume.

Track number one kicked in and I just about soiled myself (in a good way!) The track is called “Salt” and I swear it put new cracks in the plaster of my 75-year-old house’s ceiling. Track two (Little Defects) gave me a Tool vibe with a moody intro followed by the inevitable kick in the head that these guys are becoming increasingly known for. Last week I had an opportunity to speak with SCS vocalist Alex Johnson and talk about music influences, the state of our great city and chicken wings.

Rockford Rocked Interview: Hows it going Alex?

Alex Johnson: It’s going great these days.

RRI: I must say the quality of the band’s latest recording is fantastic and the songs all stand up. No filler at all man. Who’’s the chief songwriter and where was the newer stuff recorded?

AJ: Thanks, that means a lot. The writers are mostly Justin, Dustin and myself although we have recently acquired Chris Pigue in bass so it’s really all of us now.

All new recordings were done at Imprint Studios which is our drummer’s studio.

RRI: Who are the rest of the cats in the band?

AJ: Justin K. - drums/guitars, Dustin A.-guitar/drums, Chris P.-bass, Alex J.-vocals.

RRI: Tell us about some of you influences and when you got involved in music in general.

AJ: My parents music was my huge influence of mine. We always had music playing in the house and now my place always has music playing. I started playing on accident really, but once music gets ya,

you’re got.

RRI: You guys seem to play constantly and are booked months in advance.

It seems like the band is in it for the long haul. Having said that, what are your thoughts on the state of the music industry compared to maybe 10 or 15 years ago?

AJ: We play a good amount and we have been involved in Rockford and its surrounding areas for over a decade in one form or another. I think our current industry is strong to say the least. The music industry itself is a huge flooded market these days. I think it’s strong in our area none the less.

RRI: I had a chance to catch a partial set at Cronies Bar a couple months ago. That place not only has great live music but their freaking chicken wings are awesome. They have something like 162 different flavors.

Have you tried them?

AJ: You know it! I LOVE hot wings all day everyday and they got some great flavors out there. Whiskey’s Roadhouse makes some killer wings as well.

RRI: Where do you guys call home? In other words, what’s your favorite place to play here in the Rockford area?

AJ: We have called many local venues

home in our day. Bar 3, Take 20 and Whiskey’s Roadhouse absolutely.

RRI: There’s always that one guy that likes to mosh by himself at the front of the stage. Does he ever show up to your gigs?

AJ: Normally when one starts someone else is bound to start too, although we do have those guys. There are simply too many to name!

RRI: Are there any bands locally that you admire or enjoy sharing a bill with?

AJ: Absolutely, we know almost everyone and almost everyone. The 815 and its surrounding areas are a very supportive and friendly bunch of metalheads and rock ‘n’ rollers.

RRI: Favorite band from the 1980s?

AJ: Aerosmith or Def Lepard.

RRI: Favorite album to put on to get pumped up for a gig?

AJ: Atlanta is Burning’s new album ASHES has been fueling me for weeks. You need to hear it.

RRI: Who would win inside the octagon in a full out UFC fight – As I Lay Dying frontman, Tim Lambesis, or Glenn Danzig?

AJ: I figure Tim L. would be juiced out and insane. Glen would still have his glass jaw so I’d say Tim for sure. (laughs) RRI: What’s next for So Called Saints, and where can we find the latest info on the band?

AJ: Next for us is to get out everywhere to everyone as best we can and put on one of the best metal shows you’ve seen and to keep on keepin’ on because we love this.

You can find us and our music and merch on Facebook, Reverb Nation, iTunes, Google Play, Youtube, Spotify, etc.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: The full moon eclipse in Leo on February 10 can be a rocky one if you choose to immerse yourself in family squabbles or political rhetoric. For the rest of you out there that are actually trying to evolve, you have the planetary support you need to take raw content and turn it into a product of substance. Embrace your time frame and use it wisely. Great things emerge from astrological climates such as these. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Someone you care for may be stumbling around in the throws of addiction during this lunar cycle.

However, it would be much more effective to quietly observe as opposed to confronting this situation head on. At the end of the day, it’s their battle to either slay or decay.

Meanwhile, you have your own agenda to contend with and it’s going to be a busy week.

Balancing your career and personal life has been quite a challenge. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20) — The focus is on your home and property this week, and it appears you have your hands full. There is no reason to take this all on by yourself.

Delegate out some of these annoying tasks to those who handle them professionally, don’t overdo it. You may be second guessing a legal document you’ve found yourself involved in recently. For every action, there is a reaction, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Good news arrives regarding children or pets during this lunar cycle. You may be considering extending your existing family or hearing news of a loved one embracing this aspect now. Either way, your enthusiasm is contagious and it creates a rippling effect into all the other areas of your life. Travel is highlighted at this time and you find yourself able to mix business with pleasure, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — This is an extremely favorable climate for your career to expand and develop throughout the summer months. You’re able to envision options that you once thought were unobtainable. You’re in a position to learn a new skill or further develop your craft. This will put you in a highly charged emotional state. As a result you feel more like yourself again, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Salary negotiations and contracts begin to align at this time. The full moon eclipse in your sign will work favorably for you if you go the extra mile. This may be a good time to spice up your wardrobe or head to the hair salon for a change in your appearance. Romance begins to accelerate at a comfortable pace. All eyes are on you now, Leo.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — The full moon on February 10 could contribute to your emotions, especially if you are grieving a loss. Trust that this aspect will support your relief and provide you the inner strength you desperately desire. Surround yourself with those who understand the depth of your loss and support you. Look around, they are out there, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You may need to go above and beyond the call of duty this week with family or friends. There has been loss or heartache and you’re put in the position of trying to fix it all. Do the best you can do but don’t overextend yourself now.

Your physical body may become worn down as a result of it. Make sure you are taking care of yourself as well as others. Good news arrives with the career this week, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Obstacles are lifted with contracts and legal documents during this lunar cycle. You find that there is a solution regarding a family matter or a housing conflict in the weeks to come that puts your mind at ease. An Aries, Leo or Sagittarius female has some valuable information to share that confirms this shortly.

Keep in touch with those who are reaching out, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Be cautious of cult-like groups or religious fanatics at this time. Someone may be trying to influence you or a family member towards their own unhealthy mindset. This could even invoke some fear in those around you or yourself. Stay true to your beliefs and all will stay on point now. Pay close attention to detail with legal documents or paperwork.

You may find some hidden money in the process, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Finances break serious ground for you this week and you’re able to look at your long-term goals within a positive light. You are proud of your accomplishments and your loved ones now more than ever. Even though you needed to move away from the darker energies of last week with some resistance, now is the time to start fresh with your long-term goals, dreams and ambitions, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You’re still a bit confused as to recent communication with another and not quite sure how to navigate around it. Perhaps the very same thing is happening to them as well. Try not to make too much out of it, instead allow this to unfold within its own time frame. Things look better than you realize. Like a fine bottle of wine, let it breathe at bit before consuming, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Romance may have you feeling extremely compulsive this week. Try to keep yourself collected as you move through old elements or past love connections.

Questioning your current relationship status would not be the best idea. You are exactly where you are supposed to be in this time of your life. A healing process will be moving through your system through the month of February. When all is said and done, your love life will improve for the better, Pisces.

Local Non-Profits Expand Global VDAY Mission What began as a single event in 1998, today includes over 5,800 annual V-DAY events. V-DAY (vday.org) is a global movement to end violence against women and girls. Through V-Day campaigns, local volunteers produce benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues to raise awareness and money for anti-violence efforts within their own communities. The award-winning performance is translated into over 48 languages and performed in over 140 countries.

Womanspace, a Rockford non-profit that has empowered women in the Stateline for more than 40 years, is presenting The Vagina Monologues on Thursday at the Nordlof Center.

“Our members and staff jumped on board to bring this important piece of work to the Rockford area,” says Elaine Hirschenberger, co-founder and executive director of Womanspace. “We are pleased to contribute resources and share The Vagina Monologues is the cornerstone of VDAY, a global non-profit movement that has raised over $100 million for groups working to end violence against women & girls. Events take place worldwide each year between February 1 & April 30. vday.org

our talent to raise awareness of the prolific problem of human trafficking in our own city.”

Rockford is ranked #2 in the state and Illinois is number eight in the country for human trafficking.

Rockford Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation (RAASE) (raase.net) is working courageously to reverse that sobering statistic. Formed in 2013, RAASE has been educating police, lawmakers, healthcare workers and faith-based organizations about human trafficking.

Through community engagement, RAASE seeks to end the demand for sexually exploited individuals, hold violators accountable and provide victim protection and restoration.

Ninety percent of event proceeds will benefit RAASE, with the remaining 10 percent going to V-DAY and their global effort. For tickets, visit womanspace-rockford. org or call 815-877-0118. Tickets will also be available at the event, if available.

Voices from the Grave

Ernest Pearson’s unwavering committment

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

E

rnest Mellquist had only been on the job as a fireman for two weeks when a fire erupted at Rockford Paper Box Board Company on March 8, 1909.

Later, people would call it destiny or fate.

Personally, Ernest didn’t care what anyone called it; he was just grateful to be alive.

Ernest’s sister was in the crowd that Sunday. She was one of a thousand people that came to watch the firemen work on the burning building. She was the first person Ernest saw after the dust settled and only then did he realized how close to death he had actually come. As they embraced Ernest pleaded, “Don’t tell mother how close that was.” That was a promise his sister would not keep.

As it turned out, it didn’t matter if Ernest’s sister kept her promise. There was no concealing the news of the terrible fire or the devastating consequences. The word spread throughout the city almost as fast as the fire had consumed the building.

Two men had died in the past during fires in the city. Ralph Emerson Junior, was killed assisting the firemen on the Union Furniture Factory In 1893 and a watchman named Upson perished in the fire of the Central Furniture Company. But 1909 was the first time that an official Rockford firefighter was killed in the line of duty.

Ernest Pearson was Mellquist’s partner

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

E

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

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

This week, we look back on the original home of Rockford College on South 3rd Street.

for that March day in 1909. It was supposed to be his day off, but Pearson was the captain of Company No. 5 and he took his role very seriously.

No one even knew how the fire started. The guard for the company was walking through the building around 3 p.m. and noticed smoke coming from the area where the baled paper and boxes were stored.

The first fire units rolled up to the building within five minutes of the call. The firefighters were stunned to see the building engulfed in flames when they arrived. Giant columns of black smoke billowed from the windows of the building. It was the smoke that drew the huge numbers of people to the scene.

Chief Thomas was supervising the men that day and Pearson reported to him when he arrived. Thomas told Pearson to grab Mellquist and get the hose spraying on the south side of the building. Other companies were already working and Chief Thomas felt hopeful that with Pearson and Mellquist on the south side, there might be a chance that at least a portion of the building could be saved.

Chief Thomas joined Ray Wantz who was the superintendant of the building to check on the men’s progress. As they reached the south side of the building, Chief Thomas noticed Pearson and Mellquist on a pile of rubble by the building. Pearson had the hose on the building and Mellquist was assisting him. The Chief realized the men were very close to the wall of the building and he yelled a warning to the men to back up a little. But his warning came too late.

The crowd of people watching could see what Pearson and Mellquist could not. The intense heat from the fire was causing the brick wall to buckle. In a horrible twist of fate, Pearson’s wife, Irene, was part of the crowd that day. She also saw the wall buckle and recognized the danger. In an unbelievable act of courage, she pushed through the massive crowd at the same time that the others started to back up in fear.

Irene knew she would not make it in time when she heard the shriek of the wall as it began to fall. Later, the Chief and Ray Wantz would testify at the inquest that when they heard that roar they both looked to see Captain Pearson and Mellquist still on top of the rubble. Time seemed to slow and they saw both men began to move.

Pearson still held the hose and as he moved they were horrified to see the hose catch on some of the debris. As Pearson turned to see what had stopped his movement, his eyes caught the Chief’s. Chief Thomas

knew what was going to happen and he closed his eyes as the wall fell.

The wail of the falling bricks was replaced with a horrified roar from the crowd. At first, it was thought both Pearson and Mellquist had been caught by the wall.

Men surged forward to begin the task of rescuing their fellow firefighters.

It took less than five minutes to get the bricks removed. During that time, the crowd had parted enough so that Irene could reach her husband’s side. The firefighters gently lifted Pearson’s broken body onto a stretcher and covered the worst of the damage from the eyes of his wife.

Irene accompanied the body of her husband to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Every bone in Pearson’s body had been broken in the accident.

Pearson’s wife and young son were accompanied by his fellow firefighters and police officers in the funeral procession to Scandinavian Cemetery where he was laid to rest.

Ernest Mellquist served our city as a firefighter until 1930.

Business Sense

By Grant McCarty

Deciphering the seed catalogues

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Like me, you may be receiving a number of seed catalogs this year. Seed companies start sending out theses catalogs sometime before the end of the year with the newest seeds available to you. Keep in mind that the sooner you decide to purchase seeds, the better. New varieties can sell out fast from these companies.

As you examine these magazines, there are some things you want to consider.

Many of these seeds will be expensive.

This is especially true if you are ordering your seeds from a company that targets commercial growers. You want to look at that price and factor in whether it is worth purchasing those seeds. While in the long run, you will more than likely make up for it with the produce you harvest, it still can be a cost up front. In most cases, a small garden will need a small seed packet of that variety, usually 50-100 seeds.

Your heirloom/heritage seeds will be more expensive due to demand. There is also a good chance you will find the variety you are looking for in a number

of catalogs. Certified organic seeds will be even more expensive. These seeds are harvested from crops that have been grown on certified organic farms.

Many of the varieties you will find in the catalogs will be ones you can find at home and garden centers. You might also be able to find out if these varieties will be available for sale as transplants before the growing season. Most likely more expensive but it does take the work out of having to start your seeds indoors.

Just because the variety is a different color doesn’t always mean the flavor and taste is ideal. Unusual color will sometimes result in a product that is bland or has no flavor. Read up about these varieties before purchasing them as you will not know how they taste until the summer.

Ask other growers what their favorite varieties are. They may even have some extra seed you can use. They will be able to shed some light on how it grows, yields, and even problems it can have.

Next week I’ll talk more about seed selection.

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

Better Business Bureau raises red flag on Restaurant.com

By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

Ed’s note: This Alert is in reference to “restaurant.com” which is not to be confused with, nor is there any affiliation with the similar sounding “restaurants.com”.

The Better Business Bureau is informing consumers and businesses about the marketplace conduct and complaint history of Restaurant.com, a company that sells gift certificates to restaurants in many cities nationwide. Restaurant.com claims on its website to represent more than 20,000 different restaurants across the U.S. While the number and pattern of complaints are mostly outside of the Chicago region, the business is headquartered in Arlington Heights.

Because of their location and following the procedures set by the Council of Better Business Bureaus, all complaints that are filed against Restaurant.com are processed by the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. As one of its functions, the BBB sets standards for ethical business behavior and monitors compliance.

In the past three years a total of 253 complaints have been filed against the business by both individuals and businesses. A review of those complaints and allegations indicates a pattern in Restaurant.com’s marketplace conduct.

Individuals were unable to redeem gift certificates sold by Restaurant.com at the indicated restaurant locations, with many also stating they were sold these certificates for restaurants that were no longer in business by the date of attempted redemption.

Restaurants learned of unauthorized Restaurant.com listings and certificates when diners attempted to redeem the certificates; causing, in some cases, the restaurant to either forfeit the value on the certificates or find an alternate agreement with the individuals.

Some of the specific allegations made by the complainants are: N. Harris of Chicago filed this complaint: “I purchased certificates from restaurant. com from online through an email I received from my workplace for meal deals on 3/25/15. Pepes [sic] Restaurant was the first certificate I attempted to us [sic] which was one of eight certificates purchased, after sitting and eating with my family the bill was brought to us and I presented my certificate for $25 the waitress explained that they did not accept the certificates even though the certificate was especially for that restaurant. I called restaurant.com to explain the issue and all they could tell me was that the

restaurant was definitely still in contract and should have accepted the certificate, they offered to refund the money paid for the certificate but had no answers for the actual $60 in cash that I had to come off of to pay the waitress the bill in its entirety.”

K. Armstead, owns a restaurant in Brooklyn, NY: “I was alerted that our restaurant is being advertised on Restaurant.com without our knowledge or permission. The company is offering discount coupons for our products that we do not accept. I asked the sales rep to remove our listing from their website.

This has not been done.”

J. Trefethen, lives in Wells, ME: “I bought a number of discounted certificates for a number [of] particular restaurants only to find out the restaurants did not participate in the discount. When I tried to get my money back [I] was only given the option of choosing another restaurant not to get [my] money back. We live where there are not a lot of restaurants that participate so the options were not anything I wanted to pick from. Just want [my] money back” Currently, on the BBB website, the company has a “No Rating” designation due to the BBB’s ongoing review of the business.

During the BBB’s internal investigation of 20 restaurants in our service area we found 13 who are participating with Restaurant. com; and six that claim they were not aware they were listed and do not accept coupons from the business. The remaining restaurant is no longer in business but is still on the company’s website.”

In response to the BBB’s initial letter, sent October 5, 2015, informing Restaurant.com of its concerns, on October 14, 2015 the business provided the BBB with steps they planned to take to improve their business practices. A second review on April 15, 2016, found the type and number of complaints had not diminished or changed in nature. On April 18, 2016, Restaurant.com was notified by U.S. Mail and email letter that we considered it a failure to alleviate the pattern of complaints present. Restaurant.com did not respond to that notification.

The BBB suggests that prior to purchasing any certificates from Restaurant.com, consumers contact the specific chain or restaurant you will be visiting and verify that they are a participating business, will accept Restaurant.com coupons or certificates and will also accept its terms and conditions.

Dennis Horton is the Director, of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau.

Cattle industry still in expansion mode, for now

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Once a year, USDA releases its comprehensive Cattle report, which includes survey-based estimates of the all cattle and calves inventory, the calf crop, beef and dairy cow inventories, and a variety of other inventory estimates. According to Purdue University Extension economist James Mintert, the report provides clues regarding future cattle and beef supplies.

“This year’s report, released on Jan. 31, was of particular interest because of the collapse in both fed and feeder cattle prices that took place during 2016,” says Mintert.

“The dramatic price decline, and resulting falloff in profitability by cow-calf producers, led to questions about possible impacts on industry expansion. Last week’s report leaves little doubt that the industry is still in expansion mode, at least for now.”

USDA estimated the Jan. 1, 2017, all-cattle

and -calves inventory to be 93.6 million head, 1.8 percent larger than a year earlier.

The all-cattle and -calves inventory bottomed out on Jan.1, 2014, at 88.5 million head so this year’s inventory estimate is nearly 6 percent larger than it was at the bottom of the inventory cycle. The total inventory increase was in-line with most trade observers’ pre-report expectations.

“Unlike prior years, USDA did not provide a preliminary estimate of the 2016 calf crop back in July because the mid-year Cattle report was dropped from USDA’s lineup of inventory reports,” Mintert says. “As a result, last week’s report provided the first estimate of the 2016 calf crop, estimated at 35.1 million head, 2.9 percent larger than in 2015. The smallest calf crop of this cycle occurred in 2013 and the 2016 calf crop was nearly 5 percent larger than in 2013.”

Mintert says the keys to future cattle and beef supplies are the beef cow inventory and

the number of heifers being held for future replacement or entry into the herd. USDA estimated the beef cow herd to be up 3.5 percent compared to a year earlier and more than 7 percent larger than at an inventory bottom in January 2014. Despite the falloff in prices during 2016, cow-calf operators indicated they are holding back 1.2 percent more heifers for herd replacement this year than last year. That combination means the supply of cattle for slaughter will continue to increase not just in 2017, but also into 2018-2019.

Both commercial cattle slaughter and beef production increased just over 6 percent during 2016 compared to 2015. Cattle slaughter and beef production are both expected to increase again during 2017, Mintert says, although the year-over-year percentage changes are likely to be smaller, perhaps falling in a range of 3 to 4 percent.

“Larger supplies imply lower prices are

ahead,” Mintert says. “Prices for slaughter cattle in the Southern Plains averaged approximately $121 per cwt. (live weight) during 2016, which was 19 percent lower than during 2015. During 2017, slaughter cattle prices could decline another 6 to 8 percent as a result of the expected supply increase.

“The decline in calf prices during 2016 was even more severe than the decline in slaughter cattle prices,” Mintert says.

“Prices for 500- to 600-pound steers in the Kentucky market averaged $153 per cwt. during 2016, which was 36 percent lower than a year earlier. Lower slaughter cattle prices during 2017 are expected to exert more downward pressure on calf prices.

Recent weekly average prices in Kentucky for 500- to 600-pound steers have been in the upper $120’s. The annual average for 500- to 600-pound steer calves in Kentucky could wind up in the low $120’s, 15 to 20 percent lower than 2016’s annual average.”

Farm rents outpacing revenues Modeling the future of soybeans New data from the Illinois Farm Business Farm Management Association (IFBFM) show that revenue projections for Illinois soy and corn farmers show no projected improvement for 2016 and 2017.

This plateau contrasts with high rent rates — which originally followed the healthy growth of farm incomes that began in 2007 and continued through 2012 — and has left farmers upset and uncertain about their future.

IFBFM data showed significant revenue declines between 2013 and 2014, with 2015 revenues basically at break-even.

While farm revenues declined, corresponding cash rents haven’t declined at nearly the same percentage. According to data released by the association, average cash rents have started to decrease.

David Kline, vice president and managing real estate broker at Soy Capital AG Services, said the trend of declining revenues is one his organization has seen across the Midwest, but the outlook could improve with an uptick in crops production.

“Well it’s a trend in corn and soybean producing states that we are seeing in general across the corn belt,” Kline said. “So at this point, we are still running budgets for 2017. We have had a bit of recovery in soybeans that has has been good and if corn can make some recovery I think we will be holding steady.”

Farmers, landowners and economists all have a hard time determining what is an appropriate cash rent amount considering the current economic conditions. The same data has revealed for the state of Illinois, 43 percent of the land farmed is cash rented, 34 percent is crop shared and 23 percent is owned.

The University of Illinois crop budgets and projections for 2016 indicate that the expected revenue for corn producers is $240 per acre and for soybean growers, revenue is expected to $335 per acre. But data shows that that the majority of rents across the state will be higher.

According to the USDA, average cash rents in 2013 and 2014 were $223 and $234 per acre respectively.

One solution proposed to alleviate the rent burden is a flexible or variable cash rent leases. These leases are based on actual revenue generated with a base and a sliding increase if yields are higher.

Kline agreed and said a variable lease is an idea that can work and help provide a solution to the current cash rent crisis.

“The one thing it requires is trust and verification from both the farmer and the landowner but they can work very well in addressing the needs of both sides,” Kline said. “The need of the landowner to receive a reasonable return on his investment and the flexibility that can help a farm operator with his cash flow.”

URBANA – How will the rising temperatures expected to occur with global climate change affect soybean growth in the Midwest? Rather than wait and see, researchers at the University of Illinois will use real crop data and computer modeling to better predict future impacts of higher temperatures on agricultural production and identify promising targets for adaptation.

The project is being funded with a $420,000 USDA National Institute for Food and Agriculture grant. U of I environmental scientist Kaiyu Guan is the project director.

Carl Bernacchi and Elizabeth Ainsworth are co-project directors. Both are plant physiologists in the U of I Department of Plant Biology and Department of Crop Sciences.

The project will look at how temperature affects major plant processes such as photosynthesis and respiration.

“Higher temperatures in the future may result in accelerated crop growth rate and shorter growing seasons,” says Guan. “There will likely be direct heat stress effects on the various stages in plant reproduction, including number of flowers and pods produced and aborted and the higher temps may increase the plants’ demand for water. All of these

factors will play a role in soybean crop yield.”

Guan says the team will combine the temperature free-air controlled enhancement (T-FACE) experiment and a newly developed crop modeling framework (CLM-APSIM). Infrared heating arrays will be used to heat three soybean varieties, representing the major groups planted across the Midwest for two growing seasons, and multiple physiological and biochemical measurements will be taken simultaneously.

“We will then use the experiment results to improve and calibrate the model at the site level,” Guan says. “Using the calibrated model, we will attribute the historical yield loss due to increase temperature to different physiological mechanisms. Ultimately, we will project crop yield for the whole Corn Belt under the various climate scenarios, and quantify the contribution of each mechanism.”

In addition to being an assistant professor in ecohydrology and geoinformatics in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at U of I, Guan has a joint appointment as a Blue Waters professor affiliated with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).

Youth Sports

IN THE DARK

Kids still don’t report concussion symptoms. How can we change that?

By J. Douglas Coatsworth The Conversation

A

s an epic Super Bowl fades away, football fans reflect on a season of intense competition, hard-fought battles and the tenacity of elite professional athletes. Among the over 100 million fans who watched the game Sunday were approximately three million youth athletes who play the game themselves.

Entangled in the enthusiasm and attention to professional football is the conversation of concussive injury and how playing professional football is related to brain injuries, neurocognitive problems and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).

The National Football League has taken steps to protect their players from head injuries, such as changing rules and improving equipment, yet as the Wall Street Journal reports, rates in 2015 declined only slightly.

And while most of the media attention is directed at professional athletes, concussion and brain injuries are also a concern for soldiers in the military and for millions of youth athletes. Rates of concussion in these groups have led researchers and medical professionals to identify concussion as a public health crisis.

As a prevention scientist, I’ve worked extensively with schools and community groups to change personal, social and environmental factors that contribute to unhealthy behaviors such as adolescent substance use, risky sexual behavior or violence. Many of the methods used to

address those public health issues can be applied to youth concussions as well.

A widespread problem

About 56 percent of youth ages 6-17 play an organized sport, and the Centers for Disease Control estimates that each year in the United States, between 1.6 and 3.8 million youth suffer a concussion.

Growing media attention and new educational opportunities, such as the CDC’s Heads Up program, seek to inform and encourage reporting of concussion and include specific programs to help coaches, parents, health care providers and athletes learn about the signs of concussion and the need to report them. Research indicates, however, that youth athletes may still underreport concussion.

A survey of Massachusetts youth indicated that almost half of athletes who experienced concussion symptoms continued to play that day, and only one-third stopped playing and were checked by a doctor that day.

Hiding symptoms of concussion and continuing to play in sports can result in subsequent injury, delayed recovery, delayed access to treatment and risk of catastrophic injury. An Institute of Medicine and National Research Council report on youth concussion concluded young athletes face a “culture of resistance” to reporting. It found research is needed to understand individual and social factors that create this culture and how it can be changed.

My colleague, Alissa Wicklund, who leads the Regional Concussion Center at the Orthopaedic and Spine Center of the Rockies, and I have a research project to

address these issues. The project is part of the MindMatters Challenge, funded by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Department of Defense (DOD), and focuses on three questions: 1. What factors influence whether youth report concussion symptoms?

2. How to characterize and measure the culture of resistance?

3. How to change the culture of resistance?

Although much of the research in this NCAA-DOD initiative focuses on collegiate athletics or the military, or both, our team of developmental clinical psychologists and athletic trainers will work with middle and high school youth. The students will be from nine schools in northern Colorado.

The research team will try to shape the early knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around concussion reporting.

We know characteristics of youth athletes, such as the knowledge they have about concussion, their attitudes about how serious symptoms are and their beliefs that if they report a concussion they will let the team down, all influence whether they will report concussion symptoms.

But to understand the culture of resistance, our study is gathering data about the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of coaches, parents and peers – the key people in the athletes’ social networks that influence athletes’ decisions whether or not to report concussion symptoms.

We will study the environmental factors such as access to concussion materials and whether schools, districts or states have concussion reporting policies. While some studies have examined different factors independently, our study looks at them together to gain a fuller picture of the “culture” that middle school and high school athletes exist in.

Because we believe the culture may dif-

fer for girls and boys, in different schools or by sports and teams (girls’ volleyball vs. boys’ football), we will examine these subcultures and their influences on youth concussion reporting.

Involving stakeholders to change the culture

To change the culture, we are testing a process in which key members of the schools (students, teacher, coaches, trainers, parents) will learn about concussion, examining the data from their school.

From there, the intent is to discuss what the data suggest is needed to change the culture, create an action plan for using evidence-based programs, practices or policies, and then implement those programs and policies in their schools. Rather than implementing identical programs at each school, the process emphasizes school-specific practices so schools will choose the interventions that are likely to work most efficiently and best for them.

Our intervention is based on empirically validated processes that have been used to change school and community “cultures” of substance use and violence.

Programs that teach about concussion are not likely to be sufficient, some studies have shown, and may in some cases have a negative effect on reporting behavior.

We believe it will be important to take a broader approach that also addresses the emotional aspects of sport participation and nonreporting, the social pressures such as feeling embarrassed, letting the team down or being perceived as weak.

We also need to look at the relationships athletes have with coaches and parents.

Youth sports have many positive benefits that can last a lifetime. Keeping youths safe in sport should be a primary objective of all individuals involved in youth athletics.

While changes in equipment, coaching, rules and style of play can all contribute to reducing the likelihood of sport-related concussions, trainers must also be aware of the social, emotional and behavioral factors that contribute to whether an athlete will disclose symptoms. The diagnosis and treatment of concussions is almost entirely dependent on athletes’ accurate reporting of symptoms to parents, trainers and coaches. Effectively addressing the public health concern of concussion non-reporting in youth sports will require the active involvement and dedicated efforts of parents, coaches, peers, teammates, administrators, athletic trainers and medical personnel.

Tales from the Trough

Hogs grab 2 points in OT losses

By Todd Reicher Contributor

P

oints are at a premium for the rest of the season, and the IceHogs managed to grab two of them in a pair of road overtime losses this past weekend.

Rockford’s first overtime loss was in a game they should have won on Friday, February 3 against the Milwaukee Admirals.

The IceHogs dominated a majority of play in the first 20 minutes, outshooting the Ads 15-5, but allowed two goals on those five shots to trail 2-1 after 20 minutes.

Frederick Gaudreau scored his seventh of the season just 59 seconds into play to give Milwaukee the quick 1-0 lead. From then on, Rockford held the Ads to four shots in 19 minutes, but Gaudreau would tally a second goal on one of those shots at 11:04.

Gaudreau’s two lamplighters were sandwiched by Nolan Valleau’s second goal of the season at 10:41. The tie only lasted 23 seconds as Gaudreau’s second goal came

at 11:04.

What has been Rockford’s bane this season, a dismal second period, turned out to play in Rockford’s favor. Spencer Abbott, the team’s leading goal scorer, potted his 10th of the season at 10:26 while on the power play to knot the score at 2-2 through 40 minutes of play. The 5-on-3 marker was a rare one as the IceHogs have struggled mightily with a two-man advantage.

Over 40 minutes of gameplay had passed since his second goal when Gaudreau completed the hat trick at 12:14 of the third period to give the Ads their third lead of the game. Justin Florek also earned his third point of the game with the primary assist on the go-ahead goal.

With Mac Carruth on the bench for the extra attacker, Abbott once again came through in the clutch by scoring his second of the game with 57 seconds left to play in the game.

Abbott’s second would send the game to overtime, which unfortunately did not last long with Alexandre Carrier scoring just 31 seconds into the extra session to give

Milwaukee the second point and a 4-3 win.

Rockford headed down to Rosemont the following night to face the Wolves.

P.C. Labrie returned to the lineup after missing a few games, and his presence was felt quickly as the veteran winger tussled with Emerson Clark 2:49 into the game.

Clark, however, would get the last laugh as he scored his first goal of the season at 14:11 of the first frame to put the Wolves up 1-0.

Sam Carrick would score his eighth of the season at 3:04 of the second to tie the game up 1-1. The power play marker was assisted by newcomer Michael Latta, who has been a good contributor point-wise for Rockford since he was acquired in trade a few weeks ago.

Rockford would take their first lead of the weekend 1:22 later with Jeremy Langlois’ fourth of the season.

The lead was short-lived as Samuel Blais scored his 15th of the season just under three minutes later to even things up at 2-2.

Shots were pretty close through the first

two periods with Rockford holding a slight advantage at 18-17.

Rockford put up two more shots than Chicago in the third, 8-6, but neither team was able to find the twine, and we headed to overtime once again.

Chicago’s Wade Megan took a costly interference penalty 21 seconds into the overtime period, meaning Rockford would have two minutes of 4-on-3. Chicago took advantage of a Rockford miscue and Andrew Agozzino scored an unassisted, shorthanded marker at 1:58 to send Rockford home winless on the weekend.

Looking forward

Rockford had another contest against the Wolves on Tuesday, February 7, results not available by press time. The IceHogs will head back to Milwaukee on Friday, and then turn around the following night to host San Antonio in the first of five straight home games.
