Darling recalled by Blackhawks SPORTS (back cover)

The Rockford Park District (RPD) was one of 13 new organizations chosen by the National Inclusion Project (NIP) to partner with this year.

NIP works to help children with and without disabilities work together to forge friendships and interact with each other to feel more comfortable in their surroundings.

The partnership will help provide training and also comes with a $10,000 award to help with costs associated with the programs offered by RPD. Budget issues have force them to cut back on various programs as of late, but this grant will allow them to provide children with disabilities inclusive opportunities when school is not in session.

This partnership will provide the NIP’s “Let’s All Play” program, allowing children with and without disabilities to work together in various activities including arts and crafts, physical fitness and community service.

The NIP was founded in 2003, and helps to connect children with disabilities to the world around them.

Sosnowski calls for end to printed public notices

130 area students featured at RAM

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

State Representative Joe Sosnowski (R-Rockford/Belvidere) last Tuesday filed legislation, House Bill 261, to end the publication of public and government notices in newspapers.

The bill gives government bodies in the state the option to “publish (notices) on an official government website instead of in a newspaper.”

This is fourth such effort to remove public notices from the press and reallocate them to government websites.

A recent audit conducted by the Citizens Advocacy Center studied over 750 public body websites in Illinois.

The study showed that only 57 percent of government bodies complied with posting agendas of upcoming meetings as required by law.

Furthermore, less than half complied with posting approved meeting minutes and only 49 percent of bodies surveyed maintained a website.

In a tweet sent Wednesday Sosnowski said that he was, “Just trying to move us into the 20th century. Internet has been around for awhile. Maybe next year we can work on the 21st.”

Newspapers across the state supported legislation passed five-years ago that requires all publications to post public notices on a centralized statewide website, PublicNoticeIllinois.com, at no additional cost to government bodies.

The proposed bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Ron Sandack (R-Downers Grove), would allow the over 6900 bodies of local government in Illinois control over posting public notices to their individual websites.

Only 11 percent of internet users have visited a local government website according to a 2010 Pew Research Center study.

Currently no state in the US allows notices to be published exclusively online.

In 2009 Utah passed similar legislation to H.B 261; it was repealed in 2011 due to bodies’ failure to comply with posting required information.

The Rock River Times submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to Rep. Sosnowski’s office on Feb. 20 for the release of communications related to H.B. 261.

Rep. Sosnowski’s office has yet to respond to the request. shane.nicholson@rockrivertimes.com | @ofvoid

The 74th Young Artists Show will open on Sunday with a free, public showing followed by an awards ceremony at the Rockford Art Musem (RAM), 711 N. Main St., from 1-3 p.m.

Over 150 pieces of art completed by students within 50 miles of RAM were chosen by jurors from nearly 1100 submitted.

“As an artist-educator that lives in Rockford I was extremely impressed with the artworks submitted for this exhibition,” said Lee T. Sido, Assistant Director of NIU’s School of Art and one of two jurors on the RAM panel.

Nancy Fewkes is the other juror for Sunday’s ceremony.

“I viewed a wide range of images and ideas created with highly competent techniques,” continued Sido. “I applaud not only the artists but also the teachers for their achievements.”

At 2 p.m. Sunday the Best of Show, Best 2D, Best 3D, Portfolio Scholarship, Women’s Art Board Scholarship, two Juror’s Choices and many Honorable Mentions winners will be announced.

“Rockford Art Museum understands the dynamic role that art experiences and art education play in the lives of students and the cultural development of its community,” said Linda Dennis, Executive Director at RAM. “We are committed to young, emerging artists in the Rockford region.”

Students and teachers receive free admission throughout the entire Young Artist Show including the Youth Division (April 12-May 17).

Other exhibits are also on view at RAM including pieces from the RAM Permanent Collection and feature exhibition “Carlos Rolón/Dzine: Now and Then.”

The Women’s Art Board is sponsoring the event along with partial support by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

Healthcare

Swedish American holistic care measures results

By Richard S. Gubbe The Rock River Times

When Swedish American Hospital started incorporating holistic medicine into its standard practices 15 years ago, an evolution of the Western medical world began here.

When Dr. Bill Gorski visited a progressive hospital in the state of Oregon two decades ago, he realized there was more to medicine than traditional tests and drug therapies.

The acceptance of holistic therapies needed to overcome two major obstacles before being implemented into a medical facility’s care: money for fund them and proof they actually work.

In the late ‘90s, Cathy Keith was the director of EAM Grant Administration and Holistic Health Services for Swedish American Hospital. Hired to evaluate and even dispel what were then considered alternative therapies, she, along with Gorski and Dr. Roger Greenlaw cleared a path for better health care practices. They integrated complementary modalities into standard medical practice in the same fashion as other prominent hospitals in the country.

Now a new breed of talent has emerged – someone trained in Eastern and Western healing modalities in a lofty status at the top of the management chain. Enter Dr. Kathleen M. Kelly.

“I just believe that many of us are not treating the whole patient for various reasons,” Dr. Kelly told TRRT. “We have been conducting research and have had an investment in holistic care since the late ‘90s. We actually have a department of

holistic care and most of the services we have been providing are in the hospital setting and some in the clinic.”

Kelly is Swedish American’s chief medical officer and chief quality officer. On the way up she was the health system’s Kelly director of clinical integration and improvement, and was the medical director for Benchmark Health Insurance Company. She also practiced internal medicine at Swedish American Medical Group/Woodside.

Swedish American used money from grants to fund a department housed inconspicuously on the sixth floor. The program as well as its acceptance have grown gradually in parallel fashion, despite the evaporation of grant funds. And resistance to integrative medicine, due mostly to positive feedback, is waning.

“We have scorecards,” Kelly said of proving the effectiveness of non-Western practices. “We believe in measuring our effectiveness and making sure what we are doing makes sense for our patients.”

What was once considered “alternative” is now classified as “integrative.”

“I just believe in this wholeheartedly,” Kelly said.

“We put a lot of research in.”

The results are proof that other modalities, some new, some old, can make a difference in the healing process.

“We have a long way to go but we are offering a free service,” Kelly said. “We have our CEO (Gorski) who has been willing and our board and leadership who have been willing to invest in it.”

Gorski told TRRT that the inception of the program stemmed from a visit he made to a hospital in the state of Oregon that offered alternative therapies in the early 1990s, long before Western research has backed up claims by therapists in massage, Reiki, aromatherapy, sound therapy and pet therapy.

State grants for hospital excellence and excellence in academic teaching programs ironically came from the tobacco industry insurance set-

Holistic Services

Swedish American uses a holistic nurse to provide consultations to develop care plans for patients. Other therapies include the following.

Therapeutic massage: Employees are certified and state licensed. Treatments are integrated into a hospital stay. “They provide a great deal of comfort,” Dr. Kelly says. “It’s a big program for stress reduction in a presurgical setting.” Chair massages for a family members also are offered.

Reiki Energy Treatments: Reiki energy work is used for a variety of needs such at anxiety and pre- and post-surgery requests.

Scorecards are used to measure reductions of anxiety levels. “I think that with Reiki, I would like to see us use that more,” Kelly said.

Aromatherapy: Treatments are provided using Pure Essential Oils.

Music therapy: Relaxation programming from a library of therapeutic CDs creates

music therapy “for more balance,” Kelly says.

Live music: The hospital provides a harpist “who comes into the hospital and performs throughout while music permeates all areas of the institution.”

Guided imager y: The program taps into the power of the imagination to help affect change, alter perception and help in pain management.

Art therapy: Licensed art therapists offer self-expressive art therapy such as drawing and painting to help those seeking self expression, particularly cancer patients and those who have suffered losses.

Journaling: The use of a journal by patients helps them express themselves in writing.

Animal Therapy: Pet use began five years ago. Registered therapy dogs and their handlers meet at outpatient care centers.

“Animals soothe people in ways people can’t,” Kelly said.

Yoga: Yoga for exercise, breathing and meditation.

“We believe in measuring our effectiveness and making sure what we are doing makes sense for our patients.”

–Dr. Kathleen M. Kelly

tlements, Kelly said. After that money dried up, funding came in-house.

“Swedish American continued its funding because we would have had a mutiny on our hands if we didn’t,” Kelly said.

Services are offered more for inpatient care.

An emphasis on prevention, Kelly says, is the next step with insurance companies seeing the benefit of prevention and low-cost treatment options as “money better spent.”

Success of the programs also stems from observation and “lunch and learn” opportunities.

Kelly earned her undergraduate degree from the State University of New York at Albany. She received her medical degree from Albany Medical College (N.Y) and completed residency training at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle. She is board certified in internal medicine and is board certified in integrative holistic medicine.

She describes her role at Swedish American as “an administrative physician responsible for our systemwide care coordination and performance.

I work with community partners with a goal of bringing together a seamless system of healthcare to the community.”

Dr. Kelly has held administrative positions with Kaiser Permanente (lead internist), John Deere Health Care (medical director), and Northern Illinois Hospice Association (volunteer medical director).

Kelly stays on top of evidence-based medical practices. She makes sure that holistic practices are backed by studies sponsored by such entities as the National Institute of Health.

“We had to have measurements,” Kelly said.

“We have to impress everyone with our impact and effectiveness and that’s not an easy translation. We

need more than anecdotes. We have a track record of performance.”

In 2013, Kelly received the Dr. Henry C. Anderson Quality Award, the organization’s highest expression of distinction and appreciation.

“I’m very passionate about our patients navigating the health care continuum,” Dr. Kelly said.

“It takes a lot of work to get all of the different facets focusing on the patients’ needs. But we’re doing everything it takes to get that done.”

Kelly calls the Swedish American approach “refreshing. It makes me feel good about my health system and the patient getting that compassionate care that we like.”

The change to integrative medicine can be found in fragments in regional hospitals. Nationwide, however, the trend toward integrative is quickly gaining momentum.

“I do see that nationwide that the nation is more enlightened by the benefits of these therapies,” Kelly said. “They are much more mainstream than even 10 years ago.”

Integrative medicine is now part of the culture.

“We don’t say much about,” she said. “We just do it.”

The BetterLife Wellness program at the I.D. Pennock Family YMCA offers wellness educational programs, classes and support groups, screenings and health risk assessments, personal health coaching, weight management services, nutrition education and healthy cooking classes, freedom from smoking classes and therapeutic massage.

Kelly added that she foresees more training for staff in the holistic realm.

“We have clinically integrated (holistic medicine) into the care we provide in a very effective way,” Kelly said.

Women brewers find more recognition in market

By Nate Johnson Columnist

A

ccording to the Brewers Association, women currently represent 30 percent of the craft beer consumed in the United States. The number of domestic woman-owned breweries has hit double-digits. It seems like every week, there’s news of another female brewmaster in both the macro and micro industries.

This long-building demographic shift has virtually demanded that females gather and carve out their niche in the social end of the craft beer movement, and an ever-growing group in the Rockford area is doing just that.

Girls Pint Out is a national craft beer organization for women whose mission is to build a community of women who love craft beer and are an active, contributing part of the greater craft beer community. The organization was founded in Indianapolis in 2010 and has built up over 50 chapters in over 30 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.

In the summer of 2014, Rockford chapter president and founder Sarah Heidemann contacted the national organization. “A friend had moved to Indianapolis and she started posting things on social media from local chapter events like brewery tours and ‘Pints and Pedis’ and I finally decided to find out what this group was all about,” said Heidemann. By August, the local chapter had been set up and planning was on to organize. Heidemann canvassed last year’s Screw City Beer Festival and stuck a postcard in every hand she could, which resulted in an impressive turnout at Prairie Street Brewhouse for the launch party of over 130 curious beer aficionados.

That launch party formed the structure of the group, which is now on the verge of passing 200 members. Rockford Girls Pint Out holds monthly events (including occasional co-ed activities) ranging from a tasting with the Forest City Brewers to the Olympic Tavern’s Beer School with Tracy Hurst, co-owner of Chicago’s Metropolitan Brewing, to the upcoming beer and chocolate pairing at Carlyle Brewing Company featuring Chocolat

by Daniel.

According to Heidemann, these events average 40 to 50 people, but what excites her the most is that there are new faces every time.

“The response from the women is the most exciting thing (for me). The idea of beer and especially craft beer in the time we are now, where it’s very popular, it’s a really great reason for women to get involved. They might be there for different reasons, whether it’s a mom who has toddlers at home and finally got their husband to stay in with the children or if it’s an older woman who attends the event with a group of friends, but the members unanimously love it.”

Despite the considerable membership for being such a young chapter, Heidemann is not resting on her laurels. Planning continues for future events, including a bus trip to Milwaukee breweries in April, and the group is looking at options for representation at this fall’s SCBF. For now, though, her long-term outlook is perfectly set.

“We’ll be fully established when we have a group of people who are fully on board with the GPO mission and know why we’re there. I love it when I’m with someone who is describing Girls Pint Out to another person and I listen to them explain the group. The members are getting it and they’re putting their own personal spin on it.”

ROCK SOLID.

A chat with local musician Tony Walker

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

When did you become interested in playing or even listening to music?

My father was a musician. He played guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. I remember having his mandolin in my crib, being fascinated by the tail piece cover and the mounting bracket for the pick guard. I liked the way it sounded above the nut, close to the tuning gears... “baby sounds”.

What music are you currently grooving to?

In my CD player? Well, after moving my music studio into the basement, it took me about two months to hook my CD player up. I wanted to hear how the PA sounded, so I put in an old favorite, “Sailin’ Shoes” by Little Feat; it sounded so good! I hadn’t heard it for a while and I rarely listen to the radio anymore. My brother Tim and I make our own music, and it seems that’s all I need for the last couple of years. I have old favorites that I’ll pull up on YouTube once in a while and share on Facebook. Things I’m afraid people don’t listen to anymore.

Who were some of you influences musically growing up?

I think Keith Richards was the first guitar player that made me want to play lead. I put “Oh Carol!” on, and tried to play along with it. I found a few notes, then a few more. “I can do this!”

Later influences were Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds, and of course Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. I couldn’t figure out what Hendrix was doing though and I didn’t have a whammy bar.

Later I learned to finger pick by trying to play Earl Scruggs banjo licks on my guitar.

My father was an influence early on and through him Hank Williams, The Carter Family, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. I remember seeing Little Richard on American Bandstand.... He knocked me out.

Do you recall the first album you bought and where you bought it?

It was probably a Ventures album, unless you want to count “The Ballad of Davy Crockett” a few years earlier! I talked my mom into buying that one for me. I bought my first records at Schultz Bros, Five & Dime in Belvidere. They always had a good selection. I also got a bunch from the Columbia Record Club, in their “Bunch of records for a dollar” deal, and then failed to honor my commitment to buy more. They are probably still looking for me on that! (Laughs) What was the best concert you ever attended?

If I have to decide, then I will say Neil Young with Crazy Horse. No, The Rolling Stones... No, Floggin’ Molly.... No, Bob Dylan... No, Ry Cooder.

I can’t decide. (Laughs) What bands were you involved with here in the Rockford area back in the day?

The first band I was in was The Continen-

tals, The Incidents.

Other bands that followed were The Talisman, Weeds, The Double Decker Bus, Uncle Roscoe’s Instant Fred, The Bozo Sweat Band (previously The Missing Links), The Only Human Band, Walker Grey Sky Blues Band, Mount Roscoe, Red Bud Thunder. I hope I haven’t forgot any.

Your band Red Bud Thunder were sometimes known for playing at some shady tavern’s and bars across the Midwest. Any Blues Brother’s type stories to share? Chicken wire?

We were probably as shady as any of the taverns we played in. I do remember a bar in Janesville, WI, located near the GM plant. Fights were common there, and one night a brawl broke out. We kept playing, and I was ready to use my solid body Les Paul to defend my self if need be. Women were under the tables, bottles were flying, and when anyone tried to leave three big guys at the door kept shoving them back into the chaos! Another night, playing for a biker club in Rock Falls, it was getting late and they kept passing the hat... “More! More!!” By 3:00 o’clock, I felt ill so I stepped to the side of the stage,I ended up breaking all of the strings on my guitar and finally the rest of the band knew it was over for the night. I better not tell you about the pig roasts!

Favorite Sunday morning record?

The Allman Brothers “Live at the Fillmore East” never fails to bring the sun up.

You have some pretty cool guitars in your collection; tell us about the 1950’s Gibson Les Paul Special that got away.

My parents bought me a 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special when I began taking lessons at Guzzardo’s. I sold it when I got married the first time.

Dad told me not to sell it, but I was not listening too much to what he had to say back then. I got $75 cash and a bad check for it! I never got over that loss.. Dad was right. I had to sell my 1963 Fender Jaguar to save my house before I divorced my second wife. I miss it only because I had it for such a long time but I never thought it was much of a guitar. It looked pretty but played bad just like the second wife.

My remorse from losing the 1956 Special was greatly lessened when I walked into Guzzardo’s on Charles Street in 1978 and found my Les Paul Pro Deluxe. I didn’t even know they still made P-90s! It’s a better guitar than the 56’ was and it has a much nicer neck! I played the heck out of it in Red Bud Thunder. It’s kind of heavy now with only one arm so my main axe now is a Gibson SG Junior with one P-90.

Tube Talk

A bite out of the competition

By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

“The Walking Dead” is back on Sunday nights, opposite “Downton Abbey.” It might seem hard to believe, but there are some of us who love both shows. But the recent Sunday night series I’ve been addicted to is “The Great British Baking Show,” which airs immediately before “Downton Abbey” on PBS. For the past several weeks, amateur bakers ranging from a 17-year old student to a couple of grandparents – even a construction worker – have been tested with some of the most difficult baking challenges possible. (Last week the show stopper round involved making phyllo dough from scratch, something very few professional bakers even do.)

Each episode starts with a signature challenge where contestants use their own recipes to create a specific type of baked good. Next is the technical challenge, in which the bakers must make the exact same recipe from one of the two judges, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

The twist? Whatever it is that recipe is always incomplete. The baking temperature or time might not be given, or a fairly complex process might be summed up with a simple instruction like, “make glaze,” leaving the contestants guess about measurements, consistency, and perhaps even what type of

glaze. The incomplete recipes are designed to test the bakers’ skills and knowledge.

Sometimes that recipe is for something the competitors have never even heard of or seen a photo of, so in effect they are baking blind.

The third round of each episode is the showstopper challenge. That’s when the bakers have more leeway to create an edible masterpiece that should impress the judges. They use their own recipes, tried and tested at home. Flavor, texture, consistency and appearance all come into play, as does originality.

This week, three contestants remain to compete in the finale: Richard, the construction worker, is probably the baker to beat. The modest builder has won more Star Baker titles than any of the other bakers.

But Luis combines an artist’s eye for detail with technical precision. And don’t discount Nancy, a home baker extraordinaire whose “bakes” might not always look as precise and pretty as those of the other finalists, but she typically gets high praise for the flavors of her creations.

Any one of them could win. But the real winners are probably the judges, who get to sample every delectable dish.

“The Great British Baking Show” finale airs Sunday at 6:30-8:00 PM CT on WTTW and WHA. phendrickson@sbcglobal.net

o “Travel Like an Architect” you will want to maximize your time and experiences in the places you visit. There are three ways to see the sights, and each has its benefits: excursions, private guide, and on your own.

Excursions are the easiest to arrange, and can often be the least money. We utilize excursions for activities that are difficult to arrange in advance, or costly to do by oneself. We have learned the ultimate way to discover the best snorkeling is via a local boat trip, and a cost effective way to arrange for a boat trip is with 15 to 20 people sharing the cost.

When our research reveals that a location is safe, easy to get around (small and walk-able or great public transit) and we know what we want to see, we go it alone. We have maps, our phones, a list of places, and we are very willing to talk to the locals and ask for help, or directions. Some of our greatest discoveries were made while wandering which can be a very affordable way to see a location.

A combination of excursions and on your own is a private guide. This can even be affordable if you have a small group of 3-4 people.

We have purchased the services of a cab driver for an entire 12 hour day for as little as $200 - and driven well over 120 miles. We research and write down the locations we want to see.

We negotiate, in advance, the price. Using this approach we have seen artifacts in people’s back yards, and “crashed” a family picnic. A private guide is great when you know a little, but not a lot about a place. You can see much in a little time.

There is no one perfect way to see the world.

We recommend using all three.

Meet John Doe

Rauner’s minimum wage plan just more of the same from GOP

Keep public notices in print

By Gregory John Campbell Guest Columnist

R

epublican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s policy recommendation for increasing the minimum wage in Illinois to $10 per hour over a seven year period is insulting and demeaning to the very workers it proposes to benefit, because no family or worker can live on such a meager wage now, let alone in seven years, coming from a man whose political role is to cement elite privilege over common poverty in Illinois.

Somali Republicans, like Gov. Rauner, have as their sole motives the enhancement of power and acquisition of property over others, because they lack humanity, being what this citizen characterizes as “object beings,” not human beings.

Object beings exist to purchase, own or possess material objects, wealth and power only, treating others in the same manner—as objects to own or property to dispense with—as so much flotsam on the water or cattle in a pen. Accordingly, object beings are not moral in motivation or behavior because they lack the human capacity to be so, and cannot be trusted to serve those who are in any private or public venue.

But what they can be trusted to do is diminish the humanity in our state and nation to secure their personal property, economic privilege and political power over any persons or principles preventing them from doing so, like the social contract morally existing between “the people” and their elected representatives.

But Gov. Rauner is first and foremost a corporate businessman, before he is a human being or a public servant, because business, not public service or humanity, is his range of awareness, and he lacks consideration in dealing with others.

And so it’s to be expected Gov. Rauner would want more prison guards in our state, because he knows his policies are going to impoverish countless more in achieving “fiscal balance”; and because he also knows that desperate people do desperate things when living on the street and starving.

Like all Somali capitalists, endless greed and the lust for power are the only principals behind the Somali reality of Republican politics they use, to abolish the upward middle class mobility our nation once stood for, because their sole intent is to impound as much wealth and

Real purchasing power of the federal minimum wage remains below its peak of the 1960’s and has not changed significantly since 1984. Gov. Rauner’s plan would not push the purchasing power of the state’s minimum wage above 1968’s level even if the final $10 minimum was instituted tomorrow.

‘Gov. Rauner is first and foremost a corporate businessman, before he is a human being or a public servant, because business, not public service or humanity, is his range of awareness, and he lacks consideration in dealing with others.’ power from the middle class as they can through their Somali economic policies and practices. The Koch brothers personify this fiscal “free rape-it” ideological inhumanity precisely.

Today’s Somali Republicans are like the Robber Barons of the late 19th century, and should be understood as the fiscal plunderers who will kill the father, rape the mother, sell the son and keep the daughter to accomplish what they want in Springfield or Washington as political Genghis Khan’s.

And if you think this statement harsh, think of the millions who’ve lost their jobs or homes through Somali (corporate) foreclosure, offshoring and outsourcing, because without these their lives and families have been plundered.

The Illinois pension problem is the result of both political parties failing to

meet the fiduciary requirements they pledged they would, to responsible citizen contributors who did, over a 40 year period. And so the Governor will complete the further pauperization of state pensioners by blaming them for policy shortfalls Somali politicians like himself, Democrat and Republican, intended or permitted.

Accordingly, Somali Republicans are skillful at laying-off workers, cutting benefits and social programs and ruining lives because they’re intrinsically Hobbesian, believing men to be more evil than good, like themselves. Such human self-contempt must turn outward then, to disguise what their conscience would never permit if they had one—that they’re not only anti-labor, anti-union and anti-American, they’re also anti-human and Christian.

ccording to “Sosnowski calls for end to printed public notices” by Shane Nicholson (Page 4) State Representative Joe Sosnowski (R-Rockford/Belvidere) wants to “end the publication of public and government notices in newspapers.”

I strongly oppose that ill-advised plan. Public, especially government, notices of meetings, hearings and other important events should be posted in local newspapers as it is in the public interest to do so. We cannot have a free, open, deliberative government unless we know when our public bodies are meeting to discuss important issues.

As Nicholson’s article points out, many governments do not properly post public notices online, and the public does not appear to go to the sites that have these notices. One sure way of hiding or burying a public notice is to publish it only online.

One benefit of having notices posted in newspapers is that each newspaper prints public notices in a consistent manner; readers do not have to learn how to navigate the newspaper to find the notices, like they might have to do with a variety of different government websites.

Sosnowski states his plan is “Just trying to move us into the 20th century. Internet has been around for a while. Maybe next year we can work on the 21st.” I do not buy that argument at all. By that reasoning, people should stop buying printed Bibles and read the good book on their Kindles.

While some people may prefer an e-reading device for this use, I’m pretty sure printed Bible sales are still strong. I am also fairly certain that most churches prefer printed Bibles. Get important information out in as many ways as you can.

People are divided on how they consume news and information. Many people still read print newspapers and books; other read the same content on websites. Others only frequent social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook. More and more people are using their smartphones and tablets as their primary Internet-access device, and many government websites are not mobile friendly. You might save money on printing costs, but then pay big bucks for updating your website, and then be forced to pay staff to monitor, post, and reply to posts on social media outlets.

Sosnowski’s plan to stop printing public notices in newspapers is shortsighted. Newspapers provide a standard, portable format for sharing government information. If budgets allow, post the same information on websites and social media. Sharing public information on more, rather than fewer, media outlets is in the public interest and critical to encouraging the public to engage government.

GMOs provide more questions than answers

Anti-corruption measure crucial

By Nancy Churchill Columnist

G

MOs are not the answer to world hunger. The truth about them is pretty ugly. In Fred Hiatt’s words (“Chicago Tribune,” 2/10/2015) pondering whether they should be identified on product labels, GMOs sound so benign.

He pointed to a World Resources Institute paper indicating that farmers will need to produce 69% more food in 2050 than they did in 2006, given expected population growth.

“Though far from the only solution to this challenge,” he said, “genetic modification can provide seeds that are more resistant to pests, drought or disease and that produce greater yields with less water or in poorer soil. They could be, in other words, one significant component to avoiding mass hunger over the next generation.”

Problematically, GMO food production has a built-in umbilical chord-like dependency on its developers for its sustenance. GMO seeds are patented, as are the toxic herbicides they are designed to withstand. Thus, not only are farmers who plant GMO crops under contract to rebuy new seed from the patent-holder every year, deviating from age-old traditions of setting aside harvested seed for replanting, they are also on the hook for the patented herbicides besides. Not to mention the costly farm equipment needed for application, none of which are likely affordable in emerging markets. And higher population growth is expected to occur mostly in the undeveloped world.

Add to that the risk to human health of applying the herbicides, both for farmers and anyone downwind who might breathe its airborne residue, plus the fact the end product cannot be assured to be hazard-free, and the promise of GMOs to feed the world fades fast.

And then there are the Super Weeds. Apparently Mother Nature has some modification tricks up her sleeve as well, for weeds that tolerate the patented herbicides have evolved right alongside the high-yield crops! Wherever this occurs, increasingly toxic substances must be developed to eradicate the newly modified Super Weeds.

Courtney White reminds us (“Agriculture Needs to Back Up,” The Progressive Populist, 2/15/15), that once all agriculture was what we associate today only with sustainable, organic food production.

She tells the story of Dorn Cox, a young New Hampshire farmer who said “Farming isn’t rocket science — it’s more complicated than that.” He prefers no-till cultivation to the plow, sophisticated technology to measure and increase the carbon content of soil, has developed a biodiesel alternative to fossil fuels, and “co-founded Farm Hack, an open-source virtual café for ... beginning farmers.”

The patented GMO farming model is demonstrably failing as even a partial answer to the needs of an increasingly hungry world. Even if farmers in emerging markets were by some miracle able to afford its contractual and costly equipment requirements to participate, food safety could never be assured. Rather than fooling with Mother Nature as GMO developers have done, farmers should flock to return, alongside Dorn Cox, “Back to the Future” of food production sustainability.

Our Founding Fathers had a vision of a fair and just government. This vision, a gift, was fair and just because it sought to protect the people from moneyed interests.

Unfortunately, that gift has fallen into the wrong hands and the results are disastrous. America wants the gift to return to its rightful owners, the people, as soon as possible.

The government cannot ignore the voice of a million people seeking to protect themselves and future generations from big money politics.

So make your voice heard. If you have already started speaking up, great, keep it up. If you have not spoken, join us at representrockford.us.

Cast your vote against corruption on the April 7 ballot. All you have to do is check yes on the Anti-Corruption Measure. In that simple pen stroke, every politician will know you support reducing the corrupting influence of big money, increasing transparency for campaign funding, empowering voters through a tax rebate voucher to contribute to candidates of your choosing, prohibiting lobbying activity for five years after a representative leaves office, and placing limits on Super-Pac campaign coordination. It is that easy.

Who truly benefits from public care initiatives?

I am wondering what the current consensus is, within the local and county political regimes, on the question of privatizing the publicly run nursing home/elder care system? Currently we support a great many indigent individuals with taxpayer dollars.

There is an offer proposed that would transfer the burden from the taxpayer to a private enterprise by leasing the publicly owned facilities to them at a minimal charge with them in turn required to provide for the needs of the indigent while engaging in a sustainable commercial operation.

Who benefits by maintaining the present costly public nursing home/elder care system? Where is the resistance to change coming from?

I think it’s time Rockford, Winnebago County and the State of Illinois considered eliminating corruption in politics

‘April 7, the voters will have the opportunity to say “yes” to such reform and send a message to those in leadership positions that we are tired of business as usual.’

–Heath D. Alberts, Rockton

by disallowing moneyed backers from driving political campaigns. With substantive campaign finance and ethics reform, issues, such as this one, may be considered without the hindrances of “being beholden” or the implication of cronyism.

April 7, the voters will have the opportunity to say “yes” to such reform and send a message to those in leadership positions that we are tired of business as usual.

Heath D. Alberts Rockton

Voter organizations key to ending gov’t corruption In November, residents of Genoa Township voted overwhelmingly in support of actions that would remove the corrupting influence of money on our political system. This was a non-binding question to gauge public support of provisions in The American Anti-Corruption Act. Represent.Us, the group responsible for the ballot question, has volunteers around the country working to bring

further attention to our systematic government corruption. The April 7 ballot will see that same question in DeKalb and Winnebago counties. The goal of this is to work toward binding legislation.

Last November, Tallahassee, Florida voters passed a city wide anti-corruption act. The coalition behind this was formed by members of the Tea Party Network, local chapters of the League of Women Voters, Common Cause, and the Florida Alliance of Retired Americans.

Groups generally thought of as having opposing causes. In another historic win, State Senator Rob Schaaf (R-St. Joseph) introduced a state wide Anti-Corruption act in Missouri.

Progress is being made to remove the corrupting influence of money from our political system. We need citizens standing up and saying enough.

There is a forum on the ballot questions, March 31 at 6 p.m. at the Rockford East Public Library, 6685 E. State St. For more information visit facebook. com/AntiCorruptionAct. Shannon Wilde Genoa

Judge temporarily halts Obama’s Deferred Action programs

Juez detiene temporalmente programas de Acción Diferida

By Sara Dady

Por Sara Dady

Immigration Attorney Dady & Hoffmann LLC

On February 16, Brownsville, Texas Federal District Court Judge Andrew S. Hanen issued a temporary injunction against the implementation of programs to protect certain undocumented students and parents from deportation.

The two programs at issue in the lawsuit filed by 26 states, including Texas, are the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA).

The expanded DACA program which eliminated the upper age cap for applicants (under the original DACA program, individuals over the age of 30 on June 15, 2012 where not eligible to apply) was scheduled to start February 18th. The DAPA program is believed to start this May. The original DACA program is unaffected by the judge’s order and applications filed under it should process as usual.

Judge Hanen’s order means that he is more likely than not to ultimately rule that these 26 states have standing to bring this lawsuit against the Administration and that the Administration’s actions are unconstitutional. The White House issued a statement immediately following the judge’s ruling. “The district court’s decision wrongly prevents these lawful, common sense policies from taking effect, and the Department of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision.” It is also more likely that not that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals which sits above Judge Hanen will overturn the judge’s in-

junction. The problem with this lawsuit that the States lack legal standing to bring the suit in the first place. The weight of legal precedent finds that immigration is regulated by the federal government, not the States. Another federal district judge threw out a similar lawsuit filed in Washington D. C. last month. It is unlikely that the Court of Appeals will agree with Judge Hanen.

As the Department of Justice has argued the President’s action is clearly within the Constitutional authority of the Executive Branch. U.S. Presidents have deferred deportation for entire groups of immigrants inside the U.S. since 1952. Congress has consistently delegated such authority to the President under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Further, not only is there no evidence that these programs will cause the States to incur expenses but all evidence indicates States will experience an increase in revenues as a direct result of these programs.

Judge Hanen has a history of using unrelated cases to harshly criticize President Obama’s policies on immigration. The reason Texas chose to file this lawsuit in Brownsville was in hopes that Judge Hanen would be assigned to the case for this very reason. Texas lucked out with the draw of the district court judge but his order is unlikely to be upheld by the Court of Appeals which tends to use legal reasoning to reach decisions instead of politics. The States in this case would be better off if they used their time and resources to convince Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform instead of filing meritless lawsuits.

Abogada en Inmigración Dady & Hoffmann LLC

El 16 de febrero, Juez Andrew S. Hanen de la Corte Federal del Distrito de Brownsville, Texas emitió un mandato judicial contra la implementación de programas para proteger ciertos estudiantes y padres indocumentados de la deportación. Los dos programas en litigio en la demanda presentada por 26 estados, incluyendo Texas, son la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA) ampliada y la Acción Diferida para Padres de Ciudadanos Estadounidenses y de Residentes Permanentes Legales (DAPA).

El programa ampliado de DACA el cual eliminó la limitación de edad de para los solicitantes (bajo el programa de DACA original, las personas mayores de 30 el 15 de junio del año 2012 no calificaban para aplicar) se programó para comenzar el 18 de febrero. El programa de DAPA se cree que comenzará en mayo. El programa de DACA original no es afectado por la orden del juez y las aplicaciones presentadas dentro del mismo deben de der procesadas como de costumbre.

La orden del juez Hanen significa que es más probable que finalmente dictamine que estos 26 estados tienen legitimación para presentar la demanda contra la Administración y que las acciones de la Administración son inconstitucionales. La Casa Blanca emitió una declaración inmediatamente después de la decisión del juez.

“La Decisión de la Corte del Distrito impide erróneamente que estas políticas legales, de sentido común, entren en vigor, y el Departamento de Justicia ha indicado que apelará esa decisión.”

También es más probable que el Tribunal de Apelaciones del 5º Circuito, que es superior al Juez Hanen, revoque el mandato judicial del juez. El

problema con esta demanda en primer lugar, es que los Estados carecen la capacidad legal para presentarla. El peso de los precedentes legales determina que Inmigración es regulada por el gobierno federal, no por los estados. Otro juez federal del distrito botó una demanda similar presentada en Washington D.C. el mes pasado. No es poco probable que el Tribunal de Apelaciones esté en acuerdo con el Juez Hanen.

Como ha argumentado el Departamento de Justicia, la acción del Presidente es claramente dentro de la autoridad constitucional del Poder Ejecutivo. Presidentes estadounidenses han aplazado la deportación de grupos enteros de inmigrantes dentro de los EE.UU. desde 1952.

El Congreso ha delegado consistentemente tal autoridad al Presidente en virtud de la Ley de Inmigración y Nacionalidad. Además, no sólo no hay evidencia de que estos programas resultarán en que los Estados incurran gastos, pero todas las evidencias indican los Estados experimentarán un aumento de los ingresos, como consecuencia directa de estos programas.

El Juez Hanen tiene antecedentes de uso de casos no relacionados para criticar duramente las políticas sobre inmigración del presidente Obama. La razón por la que Texas decidió presentar esta demanda en Brownsville fue con la esperanza de que el Juez Hanen fuera asignado al caso por esta misma razón. Texas tuvo suerte con el sorteo del juez de la corte de distrito, pero es poco probable que su orden sea confirmada por el Tribunal de Apelaciones, que tiende a utilizar razonamiento legal en lugar de la política para tomar decisiones. Los Estados, en este caso, estarían mucho mejor si utilizaran su tiempo y sus recursos para convencer al Congreso de aprobar una reforma migratoria integral en lugar de la presentación de demandas sin mérito.

Voices from the Grave

Is oil shale overhyped?

Issac Wilson: ‘Best known man in the county’

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

O

nly five years ago it appeared that we had reached a global peak in low cost conventional oil which would lead to a continuous decline in living standards. The picture changed rapidly as oil from fracking climbed from almost nothing to 4% of global production in five years. While fracked wells can be brought into production within weeks, they deplete within three years, requiring continuous drilling. In an interview by Chris Martinson geological consultant Arthur Berman makes the case that the U.S. oil shale revolution will peak in two to five years and questions the wisdom of exporting the oil to global markets.

As the global oil surplus developed Saudia Arabia chose not to cut production adding to the glut which led to a dramatic drop in the price of oil. The lowered costs mean fewer wells will be fracked and oil prices are expected to rise. Given the limited success in discovering conventional sources of oil, international oil companies have reduced their exploration investments which is likely to lead to decreased oil production over the next decade and contribute to higher prices.

With wells in the U.S. Bakken formation costing $10 million each, Berman and others think only a few wells are profitabile. An additional concern is that many of the firms are only talking about drilling and completion costs and not about their total costs which would include royalties, taxes and debt. Also off the balance sheets are the environmental and climate change costs caused by the industry.

Berman estimates it takes one barrel of oil equivalent to yield 5 barrels of recovered oil from fracking in contrast to some wells in the Mideast which still produce 100 barrels of oil from each one consumed in securing it. He concludes that U. S. fracked oil is not price competitive. In Berman’s view, the claim of potential energy independence for the U.S. is highly unlikely as we continue to consume oil at a rate which would require us to find another six-million barrels per day in addition to the roughly 10 million per day that we already produce. He doubts we can produce sufficient oil needed to continue our energy extravagant lifestyles involving the intensive use of personal cars.

The price of oil is unlikely to stay as low as it has much longer as the producing countries need more revenue to meet the needs of their citizens and avoid potential social protest.

In his quarterly letter to investors, Jeremy Grantham praised the remarkable Increases in oil production from fracking yet sees the continuous development of fossil fuels as a waste of time and money. If there are no important breakthroughs in the cost of nuclear power, he believes solar and wind power will replace coal and natural gas for global utility generation.

For him the question is whether it will take 30 or 70 years to complete the transition.

Given the long transition time, our energy mix will change slowly making it important to increase our investment in renewable energy and electric vehicles to provide momentum for an energy transition. An increase in electric cars could also improve the earnings of existing sources of electricity.

Lewis Lemon was a black man who came to Rockford as a slave. Isaac Wilson was also black but he came to Rockford as a free man.

Isaac’s story began in New York in 1802.

When he reached the age of six, he was given to Phillip P. Fellers in the small Dutch town of Stadt, New York. Isaac lived with the Fellers family until he reached the age of twenty one when he went to serve the family of Colonel Potts where he stayed for seven years.

Sometime during Isaac’s youth, the state of New York abolished slavery and he became a free man. Isaac stayed with the Potts family as a servant. Colonel Potts had a daughter and she met and married a man named John C. Kemble while in Chicago. Isaac was Mrs. Kemble’s domestic servant and when John C. Kemble decided to move his family to Rockford in 1837, Isaac accompanied them.

He was the second black man to settle in the city of Rockford.

John C. Kemble was the first attorney in Winnebago County and was a very important man in the founding of the city. When the ex-Governor of New York, Marcy and his wife visited the area, they stayed with the Kemble’s.

Their home was part of the center of the social life of the area. John Kemble had two sons from a previous marriage, Albert who would study art in Italy and Edward who was a newspaper editor in San Francisco, California.

Disaster would strike the Kemble family when Mr. Kemble went insane and Mrs. Kemble decided to move back to New York with the children. Mr. Kemble was hospi-

talized in an asylum in the east and died in 1843. Isaac remained in Rockford after the family fell apart.

Isaac went into business for himself, first with a fruit stand and then expanding to a small store. When the stage coach arrived every day a horn would sound and “Black Ike” as he was known would bring apples to sell to the passengers. He became known as quite a character during this time.

Isaac saved up his money and eventually was able to purchase some property in the 100 block of Madison Street where he became the first successful African American small business man in Rockford. He was also able to invest some money in the Kenosha Road railroad line that ran from Kenosha, Wisconsin to Chicago, Illinois.

He was most recognized for his industrious ways and business practices but people also mentioned his gentle, happy nature. In January of 1858, when Isaac was 55 years old, he married Mary DeVane Williams, a twenty year old woman who was born in Maryland.

Unfortunately, their marriage troubles began early and were amplified by the financial troubles brought on by the economic depression that started in the fall of 1857.

The investment in the railroad did not bring Isaac the income that he hoped. The couple separated in August of 1858. They reconciled but their relationship remained strained.

Isaac Wilson attempted suicide in June of 1859 by cutting his own throat. He survived but the wound did not heal properly and after lasting a month, Isaac passed away. Local newspapers called Isaac, “the best known man in Winnebago County” and mentioned that “much sympathy was felt for him” over his domestic troubles. Though his ending was very sad, Isaac Wilson’s friends and business acquaintances highly respected him and wanted him remembered for being an industrious, successful business man despite his humble beginnings.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Feb. 25-March 3, 2015

This Week: Horray! The month of March is finally arriving. For those of us in the Midwest it can only mean that eventually the weather will begin to lift and we can all begin to crawl out of our igloos. The end of February provides us with some interesting planetary activity. Saturn slaps us with a reality check when it squares off with Pisces early on this week.

However, it’s not as vicious as we might think it could be. Just a little reminder to become more responsible for our actions or there will be consequences. As the week rolls forward we have some helpful aspects that arrive making our lives a little brighter. The past and people from our past seem to resurface allowing us the clarity we need to make sense of our present lives. Sunday Mercury, Uranus and Jupiter make friends and compliment our day with great communication and companionship. Enjoy.

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You have done a good job removing negative elements from your personal life the past few months. Now you may find some of these situations trying to re-establish themselves within your circle.

Pay no attention to this and do not react. This is a temporary test that will move away from you quickly. Hold your head high and except

a gracious compliment or reward for a job well done through the workplace. Midweek brings a surprising positive aspect, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— You have made your point, now you need to allow another to absorb what you have presented. This takes time so leave it be for now. Once this is set in motion it will turn out in your favor. Taking a crowbar to this will not benefit you at this time. A woman from your past has interesting news for you. Set time aside to make that connection this week.

You will be pleasantly surprised, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Your dreams hopes and ambitions will manifest during this coming month. There may be some frustrating moments that arrive prior to this aspect. Keep your cool and don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. All eyes are on you this week so put your best foot forward. You will stumble across a diamond in the rough during this time frame.

The weekend calls for a celebration, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Keep your eyes and ears open for what is not said and read between the lines. Actions speak way louder than words now. You will find your hearts desire within your own backyard. Romance begins to establish itself within your personal relationship sector now. You will need to clear the air about your past behavior shortly. No matter how you slice it this needs to be resolved, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — The fit that you have stumbled into does appear to be working for now. You are still in a learning process and any “free schooling” you can get will only benefit you in the long run with your long term goals.

How do you know when it’s time for hospice?

If you’re asking that question, it’s time for VITAS. When it’s time to focus on the patient, not the disease, it’s time for VITAS. We address the physical, spiritual and emotional pain of serious illness, for patients and their families.

Find strength in our care.

888.966.7363 VITAS.com

Sit back and let this happen. Avoid focusing on the daily frustrations in life. Friends and loved ones are ready to party. Enjoy time spent with others at week’s end, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Out with the old and bring in the new. Doors open to align new friendships and business relations. You are done wasting time and energy with stale connections.

Your calendar becomes very full this month.

You will be mixing business and pleasure in an unexpected way. When news arrives regarding a past romantic element, let it go for good, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Your week starts off with a bang, and it may be difficult to keep up with phone messages and communication.

Try not to allow this to frustrate you too much, you’re in high demand at this time. You will need to schedule your time and energy wisely. As the week progresses you will find time for your own personal needs to be met. Take time for a little self indulgent behavior. A haircut or massage will do the trick, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Have you been avoiding someone because you’re afraid they maybe able to see through you? It’s possible that they could have the answer for the emotional dilemma you’ve been struggling with. This really is not an aspect you need to tiptoe around, in fact if you really push into this space you can resolve this once and for all. This is a really good time to address any health concerns you may be having.A simple solution to a problem is on the way, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — It was probably a good idea to take a break from your

33

usual connections for a while. This allowed you the time and energy to work on yourself and your surroundings. Too much negativity has been trying to work its way into your inner circle.

This week you can look at your accomplishments with pride. New business connections are on the way. Your personal life kicks up a notch in your favor, Sagittarius.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — A side job or hobby could become very financially lucrative during this month of unexpected offers and events. This puts a spring in your step and you can see the positive affects this activity provides.

You’re able to balance work and home in a positive productive manner now. Loved ones can see a significant change for the better, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Changes or expansion with career aspects are on the table at this time. Take advantage of new possibilities that cross your path now. Don’t overlook a diamond in the rough this week.This situation has presented itself to you for a good reason and you can feel your energy levels shifting for the better. By Friday you’re crossing the finish line with everything accomplished Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Don’t beat yourself up too much about what you have not accomplished. Instead try to look at the activities you have completed at this time. You have made an enormous impact on friends and family members this past week. This will become more apparent over the weekend. You can bask in the sunlight of your own heart and mind now, Pisces.

World Cup 2022

Qatar continues to confound

FIFA’s bidding process for its 2022 tourney raised eyebrows, but its endless fumbling of the situation in Qatar has become comical

By Alan Clark Exclusive to TRRT

F

rom the very first tournament in 1930 with hosts Uruguay lifting the trophy the FIFA World Cup has grown and grown to become the most prestigious soccer competition on the planet.

Since 1998, 32 nations from every continent have faced each other in the World Cup Finals hosted by a different country each year – a cup that has always been synonymous with sunshine given it is played in the summer

months.

The 2022 episode of the World Cup will perhaps take that into overdrive however. As many sports fans will be aware, FIFA awarded this to Qatar several years ago and since then many have questioned the legitimacy of the process and of the decision making.

FIFA’s grandiosely-titled taskforce has recommended that it be played in the months of November and December – a recommendation that anyone able to read a weather report could have come up with.

Temperatures in Qatar during the usual World Cup months of June and July reach dangerous levels, so much so that agreement has been reached that football cannot be played or watched for that length of time.

That has been one of the biggest gripes that commentators and supporters alike have had with the decision to host it in that region.

Other possible dates to host the tournament were January-February – which would clash with the Winter Olympics – and April-May – which coincides with the beginning of Ramadan at the start of April.

FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke said the “one solution” was November and December despite this being smack in the middle of the majority of the league seasons in which the European clubs amongst other regions play.

Not to forget the proximity to Christmas, an issue that the English Premier League will be keeping a close eye on given their thirst for busy fixture periods in the festive season.

If this is to be FIFA’s final decision, clubs and leagues will have to find a workable solution to accommodate it. It’s the World Cup after all.

However, don’t expect clubs to roll over and forget about it. Chairman of the European Club Association, Karl-Heinz Rumminegge gave everyone a flavour of what to expect when he stated, “the European clubs and leagues cannot be expected to bear the costs for such a rescheduling.

“We expect the clubs to be compensated for the damage that a final decision would cause.”

Given it’s a global competition and effects

all participating nations (including qualifying stages) and their respective leagues, it could see similar demands emanate from other continents, not least North America.

A winter World Cup will not effect MLS as the campaign will end in October, but it will mean the World Cup will have to compete for airtime with the NFL, NBA, NHL and college football.

Add into the already fairly messy mix the recently awarded television rights to FOX Sports for the 2026 World Cup. This took many in the sports media by surprise, as FIFA had not opened it up for the usual process of bidding by broadcasting companies and 2026 had not been on the agenda yet.

Given the news came just days before this recommendation to make 2022 a winter tournament, was this TV deal a sweetener for FOX as it will lose out on revenues with the tournament competing for advertising dollars against the NFL? Questions are being asked of FIFA left, right and center.

All things considered, the notion of a World Cup in Qatar is completely laughable. The country is building entire cities from whole cloth to host the event, and human rights’ groups have repeatedly raised red flags over the treatment of laborers working to build the facilities.

Looking at the options above, it really makes you ponder why on earth the world governing body deemed the country fit enough to host its premier kick-about.

Fans across the globe are unhappy. Clubs are unhappy. Football associations are unhappy.

Perhaps the only set of people smiling here are certain individuals at FIFA and those related parties in Qatar.

NCAA Basketball

March Madness draws near

By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

As February draws to a close, I immediately begin to start thinking about March Madness.

The NCAA post-season basketball tournament is second only to the Super Bowl on my list of the best annual sporting events. Even though it’s a little early here’s a quick look at some of the area teams that should end up making their way into the brackets.

There really isn’t too much good news to share for fans of college basketball teams that call Illinois home.

Bradley, Chicago State, DePaul, Eastern Illinois, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Southern Illinois and Western Illinois all have sub-.500 records and have no real chance of making the tournament.

Illinois State, Loyola and the University of Illinois are the only three teams from the Land of Lincoln with winning records so far this season.

Of those three it looks as though the only team with any real hopes of making it to the Big Dance is the Fighting Illini.

Their record currently stands at 17-10 with four games remaining on their regular season schedule, including a road game tonight against the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Wisconsin Badgers are not only going to be in the tournament they stand a good chance of being one of the top seeds, with a record of 25-2 and an a RPI ranking of six.

Rockford native Fred Van Vleet is in his junior year at Wichita State and playing point guard for the Shockers. Due to his local popularity, the Shockers have several fans in this area.

It’s pretty certain we’ll see Van Vleet and his teammates on the hardwood when the madness begins. They carry an impressive 25-3 record and are in the top twenty in both the AP and USA Today Coaches’ polls.

Notre Dame is another team that draws a fair amount of support from the area and with a 22-4 record will be a favorite when the fans begin to fill out their brackets.

This is just little preview of the sports phenomena that will be sweeping the country over the next few weeks. Even with the lack of home teams, there are still numerous reasons to get excited when the road to the Final Four opens tips off on Tuesday, March 17. It can’t get here soon enough for me!

From Back Cover

the first time in the game.

Rockford fought back and Garrett Ross, who had been silenced as of late, popped in his 15th goal of the season to knot the score at 2-2.

With time winding down and an overtime game looking more inevadible Cody Bass took a penalty giving the Monsters a power play for the remainder of regulation.

That error proved to be costly as Andrew Agozzino put his 15th of the season behind Darling with 33 seconds remaining in the game.

Frustrated, Darling argued with the referees and was tagged with a delay of game penalty.

Rockford was unable to convert with the extra attacker as the Monsters held on for a 3-2 win despite thoroughly outplaying Rockford and outshooting the ‘Hogs 38-16.

The following night both teams met for the second game of the series. Once again it was Rockford getting on the board first, although this time much quicker.

On their first power play opportunity of the game Brennan lit the lamp with his ninth of the season to put Rockford up 1-0 early.

Joakim Nordstrom and Dennis Rasmussen were credited with assists on the goal.

Rockford looked like a different team from the night before as the ‘Hogs played with a fire and outshot the Monsters 16-5 in the opening frame.

A Rockford mishap gave the Monsters their first goal of the game. Darling came out of the net to play a puck by the boards but was unable to play it properly for his teammates and Troy Bourke grabbed it quickly. As Darling was

skating backwards towards his net the puck hit his skate and started to slide into the net.

Zach Miskovic was there and cleared the puck out but the entire puck barely crossed the goal line before Miskovic could move it and the goal was awarded.

Despite being let-down from a bad goal, Rockford’s fourth line came through in a big way on the very next shift.

Recently signed to a Professional Try Out (PTO), Dane Walters fired a shot from the blueline which goaltender Calvin Pickard played poorly. Pickard tried to block it away towards the boards but he missed completely as

it went right by him and into the net. Walters’ first professional goal came 13 seconds after the mishap on the other end of the ice.

Just over three minutes later, the third line with Pierre Cedric Labrie leading the way gave Rockford a 3-1 lead.

In the middle of a line change, Phillip Danault carried the puck in deep behind the Lake Erie net. Danault found Labrie in the near corner and the winger circled around to the top of the slot and fired one past Pickard.

Frustrated, Pickard left the ice and was pulled for goaltender Sami Aittokallio.

The third period had Rockford playing keep-away and the Monsters fighting for the late tie.

A double minor from Gotovets opened the door for the Monsters but Rockford’s penalty kill, which was only 3-for-5 the previous night, fought off the double minor to hold on to a 3-1 lead. The kill unit was a perfect 5-for-5 on Saturday evening.

Another late tally, this time from Markus Lauridsen, opened the door for another comeback attempt. The goal, with 42 seconds left in regulation, closed the gap to 3-2.

But Rockford, behind Darling, managed to fight off the late onslaught as Rockford eked out a 3-2 win splitting the series with the Monsters.

The weekend split put Rockford in a three-way tie for third place in the Western Conference and tied for first overall in the Midwest Division. However, both teams they are tied with, the Milwaukee Admirals and Grand Rapids Griffins, both have on game in hand on Rockford.

Rockford will stay on the road for a two game series against the Texas Stars in Cedar Park on Friday and Saturday night, with a 7:30 p.m. puck drop for both matchups.

The first game of the series will kick off a season long seven game home stretch for the Stars.

Tales from the Trough

‘Hawks recall Darling, Nordstrom ‘Hogs keep pace in tight Midwest

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

Scott Darling’s impressive performances of late have not gone unnoticed in Chicago.

Following a rough week for starting goaltender Corey Crawford, who allowed four goals against Boston Sunday before being pulled for Antti Raanta, the Blackhawks recalled Darling and signed him to a two-year extension through 2016. Darling, 26, was set to become a free agent following this campaign.

Darling was 5-2-0 with a 1.97 GAA for the Blackhawks this season coming into his start against the Florida Panthers Tuesday night.

He has posted a 14-8-2 record with a 2.20 GAA for the IceHogs.

Additionally, forward and IceHogs’ captain Joakim Nordstrom was recalled to the Blackhawks. Nordstrom, 22, was assigned to Rockford on Feb. 11.

Coming back down are Raanta, 25, and forward Ryan Hartman, 20.

Raanta gave up two goals on 16 shots after replacing Crawford Sunday. He is 7-4-1 with a 1.89 GAA for the Blackhawks this season.

Hartman made the first five appearances of his career with the ‘Hawks after being called up Feb. 12. He registered zero points and a minus-1 rating.

After three straight wins against the top Western Conference Teams, Rockford split a two-game series against the Lake Erie Monsters.

The first game, Friday in Cleveland, saw the ‘Hogs keep a runaway matchup competitive.

Rockford was thoroughly outplayed through all three periods in the game and managed to keep the game tight until late.

After a scoreless first period, which saw the IceHogs outshot 16-8 by the Monsters, it was Rockford who tallied the first goal of the game.

On their second shot of the period, which

would be their last shot of the period, newcomer Kirill Gotovets tallied his first AHL goal with assists coming from Peter Regin and T.J. Brennan.

Despite only throwing two shots on net in the middle period the IceHogs earned a 1-0 lead from the strong play of goaltender Scott Darling, who had stopped all 28 shots he faced as the ‘Hogs were outshot 28-10 after two periods.

The shutout only lasted until 1:12 of the final frame when Michael Schumacher potted his seventh goal of the season.

Four minutes later, the Monsters capitalized on a power play opportunity to take the lead for See ICEHOGS on Page 38
