Severe Weather

Deadly warning?

Waiting for the tornado siren can cost valuable seconds, and your life By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

aving grown up just down the road in Sycamore I’m quite used to the comfort a tornado siren can provide to a Midwesterner. The siren goes off, you go to your basement or shelter. It’s a simple chore. And herein lies the problem: the siren system was never designed to warn everyone in the area about a coming tornado, only persons outside. Following nearly every tornado disaster you will hear from someone on TV how their life was saved by hearing a tornado siren at the last second. Such tales of survival are the ultimate form of confirmation bias as these anecdotes cannot be matched by counterpoints from people who waited too long to hear the siren and lost their lives as a result. We have trained ourselves to partake in a dangerous practice because years ago the siren system was the best way we had to warn thousands of people at once about an impending storm. Breaking that habit even in light of new technology is proving difficult and deadly. I lived in East Tennessee during the April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak, the largest recorded outbreak in history. In the midst of a four day severe weather event across the southern and eastern parts of the U.S., 211 tornadoes killed 316 individuals on that day alone. A town just a handful of miles from my home was leveled in seconds. An EF4 twister touched down just the other side of a ridge only a mile away, crashing through a valley outside the Smoky Mountain National Park. I never heard a single siren go off through the entire outbreak as I sat watching weather reports via TV and internet throughout the seemingly endless barrage of lightning, wind and hail.

‘There are millions of people across this country putting their lives on the line by listening for a sound they can’t hear.’ -Dennis Mersereau

That day taught me two valuable lessons: 1) have a good weather radio for when the power goes out (and we all know it will); and 2) don’t wait for the sirens to go off before you take cover. As a Midwesterner that last bit was hard to accept. Sound travels on the plains; you can hear that siren blaring sometimes from miles away, so long as the wind is blowing right, and you’ve been trained since you were born to listen for it when the sky starts churning. But among the hills and valleys of the Southeast, places where a friend can live just a couple miles away but it takes 15 miles of driving to get there, reliance on the outdated siren system is far lower. Sadly, undoing 50 years of training to listen for the wail against the wall of sound a tornado producing storm produces continues to cost lives. And given the upgrades in forecasting and the myriad ways to receive a comprehensive warning it’s a pointless risk to continue to take. As Dennis Mersereau pointed out recently on The Vane, a weather blog which is part of the Gawker network, “Tornado forecasting wasn’t all that impressive just a few decades ago. It

wasn’t until the 1990s that Doppler weather radar came into widespread use across the United States, giving forecasters the ability...to see rotation (and tornadoes) well before the twisters smash into towns downstream.” He continues, “In the days before the internet, smartphones, and auto-activating weather radios, communities across the country repurposed their wartime air raid sirens for tornado alerts. These systems allowed people who were outside to run for shelter before the storm arrived and caught them hoeing away in the fields. That’s the key, though—they’re designed for people who are outside.” The fact most of us spend far much more time in our lives indoors coupled with the fact that the siren system was never designed to warn persons indoors of a tornado should be a clear sign that the siren system has outlived its utility. Cities, especially those in tornado-prone areas, should not be spending valuable resources upgrading and implementing systems that are obsolete. Continued reliance on outdated siren systems will continue cost lives as long as citizens continue to rely on them. Buy a weather radio and keep batteries in it. Download an app to your smartphone that alerts you to inclement weather events. If you’re the type like me who doesn’t care to be bothered every time a thunderstorm watch is issued then tweak the settings so only the big events pop up. But please – for your sake and for that of those around you – do not sit as a tornado bears down on you waiting to hear that siren ring out. By the time you hear it it may be too late. As Mersereau says, “There are millions of people across this country putting their lives on the line by listening for a sound they can’t hear.” This severe weather season, don’t become a statistic of a weather disaster. Don’t wait for the sirens to go off; take cover.

State, union bump heads at contract table

By Mark Fitton

Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD — If a bargaining update sent by a government worker labor union to its members is an indication, the union and Gov. Bruce Rauner’s team are banging heads at the bargaining table. In its March-April bargaining bulletin for state employees, the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees Council 31 says Rauner is staging an “all-out attempt to

decimate your rights and protections on the job. Make sure your bargaining committee members know you are standing with them!” The governor’s team is attempting “to undo decades of progress in shaping working conditions for state employees that are safe, humane and fair,” according to the memo, first reported on by WMAY News Talk 970 in Springfield. The union says the Rauner administration wants to, among other things: nEliminate any restrictions on mandatory overtime. nEliminate all restrictions on subcontracting. nAllow the employer to lay off bargaining unit members and replace them with vendor employees. nRestrict recall rights of laid off employees. nRestrict overtime pay. Neither officials with the Rauner administration nor with AFSCME immediately responded Monday to requests for comment. Experienced observers said they weren’t surprised by the bulletin’s contents or tone. Stephen Schnorf was a top aide in the administrations of governors Jim Edgar and George Ryan and has extensive bargaining experience. “I think the negotiations will be very tough this year,” he said. AFSCME managed to get good-to-excellent

contracts from governors Rod Blagojevich and Pat Quinn despite Illinois’ serious economic problems, Schnorf said. “My opinion is that’s not going to happen this time around,” he said. “I think this is going to be a very different contract for them given the financial situation,” Schnorf said, adding that he’d not advised the Rauner administration nor was he speaking for it. Schnorf said he thinks the “big ask” from the Rauner team will include concessions on wages — perhaps the elimination of cost of living allowances — and increased contributions from employees toward health insurance costs. The state is up against the wall financially, Schnorf said, and he doesn’t see Rauner trying to pacify AFSCME. “It’s not like the state has a superfluous amount revenue with which it can fund a COLA,” Schnorf added. “I think this is going to be a heck of a year,” he said. The union’s releasing a charged bulletin to its members is likely a way to step around a vow to not negotiate by way of the media, Schnorf said, and it’s a tactic he said he’s seen the union use before. Mike Lawrence, a longtime statehouse journalist who also served as an advisor to Gov. Jim Edgar and director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute,

said he wasn’t surprised by the union’s memo. “In my opinion, neither side is entering these negotiations with the best atmosphere for them,” Lawrence said. Given the state’s extreme financial distress, Lawrence said, he’d like to see both sides agree to measures that restrain state spending. But, he added, given Rauner’s public statements on public-sector unions to date, he’s not surprised AFSCME is taking a hard line or using emphatic language. “It’s a little difficult to see someone’s point of view if they’re constantly poking you in the eye, and I think the governor’s been poking them in the eye.” Lawrence predicted contentious talks and said he found it unfortunate because it will take compromise and cooperation from the governor, legislature and union to begin to truly address Illinois’ dismal finances. The state is approaching fiscal year 2016 about $6.2 billion short. It also has long-term pension debt of more than $110 billion and is about $4.3 billion in arrears on bills. AFSCME 31 represents more than 35,000 state workers. It’s contract expires in July. Find this and more exclusive regular content from the Illinois News Network on our website, rockrivertimes.com.

A child’s right to explore outdoors

By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

he annual earth day awards luncheon sponsored by Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful is an event we look forward to as an opportunity to interact with friends and to hear from speakers focused on environmental concerns. This year’s keynote speaker, Richard Louv, spoke on A Nature Rich Life and suggested many in the audience could recall having a special place away from adults which remains in their hearts today. He feels today’s youth have too few opportunities to explore nature in a personal way and coined the term “nature deficit disorder” to describe a unwanted side effect of our electronic age. He considers it a metaphor rather than a medical condition and lamented the fact that today’s youth spend roughly 54 hours per week interacting with television, computers and other electronic devices. He went on to describe his childhood being filled with numerous explorations in the natural world. Many of us remember our youth as a time when nature was integral to our lives. Nonschool time belonged to us and our friends and most of it was spent in the outdoors with little adult guidance. We internalized our parents’ expectations to know right from wrong and to behave appropriately whether outdoors or indoors. Louv considers the limited time youth are in contact with the natural world as an unwanted side effect of the technological age. Jerry Mander, a former advertising executive, is far less sanguine about the technological age. The gadgets capturing the attention of youth and displacing time spent outdoors in nature serve as the world’s greatest advertising delivery system promoting a continuous technological

evolution which is destroying nature. Louv expressed skepticism toward the current wave of educational reforms based on widespread adoption of technologies advocated by those selling software, video games and stealth student monitoring systems to our schools. The push for technology in education is accepted on faith rather than justified by studies establishing their merits. When Sonia was teaching a field science class at Northern Illinois University, a dean suggested she teach the class using videos rather than spend time in the outdoors examining natural processes in the field. The dean was a computer oriented educator and felt simulated experiences were superior to direct experiences as educational tools. Calls for educational efficiency and cost effectiveness further narrow the range of experiences for students and have led to cuts in music, art, physical education, recess, field trips and experiences in nature. To counteract this trend, Louv advocates that it should be considered a human right for children to have a positive connection to nature. Next September 4 grade students and their family members will be given free passes to explore any National Park or Federal Natural area as part of Federal Initiative called “Every Kid in the Park.” In order to secure bus transportation fund raising efforts will be undertaken. Louv points to studies documenting the huge increase in attention deficit disorder in today’s young people and adults and the widespread use of medication to reduce the symptoms. Learning in the outdoors can break the tensions associated with too much screen time and the lack of physical activity while stimulating learning and creativity in students. Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl can be reached via e-mail at sonia@essex1.com.

Charismatic megafauna: cougars, wolves and bears in Illinois

By Sonia Vogl

Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

We’ve all heard of big, wild animals leaving the North for northern Illinois – coming right here where we live. Although many people fear them as being fierce, they still appeal to our imaginations: they’re charismatic. Being big, they’re megafauna. Last year’s photo of a young black bear sitting in a Mt. Morris tree, eating leaves and looking like a big teddy bear, is familiar to everyone. We’re accustomed to coyotes roaming through the fields, but, then, was that a big coyote or a wolf? There have been actual sightings of wolves, their locations documented. A few years ago, a friend rushed breathlessly to our house, claiming that a wolf walked past him at the bottom of our hill. Now, we’re told that cougars are just across the river from our home – a narrow tributary that could be crossed in one easy leap by the graceful cat. This can be confusing to people who don’t know what to expect from wild animals.

On Sunday, April 26, a program on Charismatic Megafauna will be hosted by the Prairie Preservation Society at their Annual Banquet at the Lorado Taft Field Campus, Oregon. Doug Dufford, the Wildlife Disease/ Invasives Program Manager for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, will share information on the history of these fascinating animals: Were they ever here? If so, when did they disappear? Why are they returning now? He will also share their legal status: Are they endangered? Rare? Can they be legally kept as pets? Very few photographs of them in nearby areas have been taken. According to Dufford, “It’s a challenge to figure out what you’re dealing with.” We describe “managing large carnivores as managing ghosts.” People have many questions about these popular, but poorly understood, animals. Expect to have these questions answered at the program on April 26. A delicious dinner will be served. Books and native plants will also be for sale. For information about the Banquet and to register, contact Lin Vogl at ppsoc.org@gmail.com.

Added sugars: How to Selecting seeds control your sweet tooth

for a successful season

By Grant McCarty

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

ast week’s topic on seed starting then leads into a discussion on seed selection. Seeds can be purchased from numerous online companies, seed catalogs, and in local stores. Friends and family members may also have seeds that they can give you as well. When selecting seeds, you should consider the growth characteristics of the plant so you can prepare for management of it. Height, width, vine length, and spacing requirements can vary among vegetable types and varieties. The information on seed packets can provide an overview on many of the crop’s needs. Some vegetables are open-pollinated seeds also known as “heirloom”. These seeds can be saved and are what we consider true to type. This means that if I save the seeds from this year’s plant for next year they will be the same. Open-pollinated seeds provide unique flavors, shapes, and texture but can be susceptible to disease. A hybrid seed comes from two different open-pollinated varieties that have been cross-pollinated in the field. This is done

for a certain characteristic. For instance, one of the plants may have disease resistance which will be passed on to the next generation. Along with disease resistance, hybrid seeds may have different textures or colors and growth habits. If you purchase hybrid seeds, the seed from the hybrid plant you grow cannot be saved as it will not be true to type. There are also organic seeds which can be either open pollinated or hybrid. To be considered organic, the seeds have to come from plants that were grown on certified organic farms. You can find organic seed often with other seeds at stores. Most people use seeds from the same packet year after year. If stored properly without moisture getting into the seed packets, some seeds can be viable up to 3 years. Before sowing saved seeds you might do a quick germination test to ensure the seeds are viable. Take 5-10 small seeds, wrap in a wet paper towel, and place in a plastic bag in a drawer. After 5-7 days, unroll the towel to see if the seeds have germinated. By selecting the right seed with the qualities that you want, this can set you up for a successful season.

URBANA – “Added sugars” are often included during the processing of food and beverages to enhance their flavor and palatability. These foods—with extra calories and little nutrient content—are referred to as being calorie-dense, said a University of Illinois Extension nutrition and wellness educator. “You should limit your intake of these foods with added sugars because they carry a risk for several health concerns, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cavities,” said Kristin Bogdonas. Several international and national organizations have established recommendations based on current research to help consumers make informed food and beverage choices for optimum health, she said. The World Health Organization and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that added sugars make up no more than 10 percent of your total caloric intake. That means: n 40 grams a day (10 teaspoons) if you eat 1,600 calories n 50 grams (12.5 teaspoons) if you eat 2,000 calories n 60 grams (15 teaspoons) if you eat 2,400 calories n 70 grams (17.5 teaspoons) if you eat 2,800 calories Recommendations from the American Heart Association are considerably lower. They suggest that women consume no more than 100 calories (24 grams or 6 teaspoons) per day from added sugars. For men, they recommend no more than 150 calories (36 grams or 9 teaspoons) per day of added sugars, she said. “As a reference point, one 16-ounce bottle of brown pop contains 54 grams or 13.5 teaspoons of sugar,” Bogdonas said. Looking at a food’s nutrition label will quickly tell you how many carbohydrates and grams of sugar can be found in one serving of a particular food. This information can be helpful, but it doesn’t paint the whole picture because added sugars are currently not a separate line item, she advised. “Until nutrition labels are updated, naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit and milk, and added sugars are lumped together as one. For example, yogurt is a seemingly healthy item, and it

4 tips to slow down sugar intake 1. Start by evaluating your choice of beverage throughout the day. Forty-seven percent of the added sugar in our diets comes from sugar-sweetened beverages such as soda (25 percent), fruit drinks (11 percent), coffee and tea (7 percent), sport and energy drinks (3 percent), and alcohol (1 percent). It’s easy to consume a lot of unnecessary sugar when it’s in liquid form. Try fruit- and herb-infused waters this spring. Tasty combinations include thyme and pineapple, basil and orange, mint and cucumber, and blackberry and sage. 2. Enjoy smaller portions of sweet treats. You don’t have to completely eliminate desserts from your diet, but it wouldn’t hurt to cut back on the amount that’s being served. Try the “three-bite rule”: the first bite is to taste it, the second bite is to savor it, and the third bite is to be satisfied with it. 3. Look for hidden sugar. Added sugars are not just found in soda and candy bars. They are also in such everyday foods as bread, ketchup, salad dressings, pasta sauce, and yogurt. To be a sugar sleuth, you have to get in the habit of reading labels and the ingredient lists. Several types of sugars are used during processing so check for these terms: high-fructose corn syrup, dextrose, sucrose, corn syrup, honey, maltose, cane sugar, brown sugar, and maple syrup. 4. Keep track of how many grams of added sugars you consume per day or week and try cutting back a little at a time. By switching from a 16-ounce soda to tea or infused water, you can save 54 grams of added sugar in one sitting.

has roughly nine grams of naturally occurring sugar (or lactose), but the flavored varieties can have more than 30 grams of sugar,” Bogdonas said. Another way to find added sugars in your food is to look at the ingredient list. If you see sugar or another form of sugar in the first five ingredients, look for a different brand, variety, or a healthier alternative, she said.

Vintage @ 501 part of the core of resurgent downtown By Nate Johnson Columnist

ndustry lore has it that ninety percent of all restaurants fail within their first year of business (probably not true, but let’s go with it for the sake of the story), so for Vintage@501 to hit the two-and-a-half year mark as an anchor to Rockford’s most packed culinary block is no mean feat. Since opening in October 2012, Vintage has carved out a solid niche in the downtown restaurant sector with their ramped-up twists on traditional American bar and comfort food. A rotation of weekly specials ranges from classics like meatloaf to gold record-sized pork tenderloin sandwiches that wouldn’t be out of place at the Iowa State Fair, and there is always a new house-made soup available. A full bar features a constantly rotating lineup of 12 taps, a selection of wines (half-price on Wednesday) and their popular house martini list. More than just the food, however, owner Matt Idzikowski credits their success to other factors. “My biggest challenge is the same as most people in the industry, it’s finding that consistency. “Making sure that a customer is getting the same quality of food time after time, served to them with a smile on their face. “I’m lucky to have a pretty amazing staff that allows us to reach that consistency. I think you can taste the difference in our food.” Some of that difference also comes from local ingredients, which Idzikowski and his team go out of their way to track down. Meats, cheeses and produce are all locally procured. That food has allowed them to branch out further into the downtown goings-on. They’re coming up on their third year at Rockford City

‘Whether people are coming down for our restaurant, for Abreo, for Bamboo, if you get enough people pushing in the right direction, good things are going to happen.’ -Matt Idzikowski, owner, Vintage @ 501 Market, serving their hand-cut fries, and they have earned the best dish award at Bacon Fest for two straight years. Vintage is also attached to local charity, as they have hosted guest bartender nights with the IceHogs for the team’s charity and they also support the city’s firefighters with a portion of the proceeds from their signature Firehouse burger. Besides being an unofficial clubhouse for IceHogs and Blackhawks fans, the restaurant offers a weekly retro game night every Tuesday with classic board games and throwback video game favorites, and Chicagoland Trivia hosts their live pub quiz game every Thursday to a regular crowd of double-digit teams. As Vintage continues to satisfy the local palates, they strive to continue to grow and improve, not just with the restaurant, but with the downtown scene. “It’s really satisfying to be part of such a cool thing going on in our neighborhood,” says Idzikowski. “Whether people are coming down for our restaurant, for Abreo, for Bamboo, if you get enough people pushing in the right direction, good things are going to happen.” For more information visit vintage501.com or call 815-516-0544.

Enhancing a sense of public safety Mejorando la seguridad pública by building the community’s trust mediante la creación de confianza By Dr. Rudy Valdez ublic safety is a high priority in a prosperous society. Feeling safe comes in many forms such as in the areas of fire fighting, food and water quality, the court systems, recreation, and infrastructure, just to name a few. However, most people typically view law enforcement as the area most synonymous with public safety. This is the area that the Coalition of Latino Leaders (CLL) focused on when its public safety committee was formed over three years ago. The main purpose of the public safety committee was to help bridge the communication and cultural gap between law enforcement entities and the Latino community. Addressing the fear of the unknown by residents and public safety officers was the area deemed most important to help establish a solid foundation of trust. The approach taken was to have continuous communication to enhance strong and positive relationships. Since 2012, the CLL public safety committee has met with the State Attorneys from Boone and Winnebago Counties, with the Rockford and Belvidere Police Chiefs, and with the Rockford Park District Police Chief. The Latino community has also participated in public safety forums lead by Rockford Police Chief Chet Epperson and hosted in partnership with the CLL at St. Peter and St. Paul Church in southwest Rockford.

Aside from the periodic meetings and forums with many law enforcement officials, the CLL and Chief Epperson meet monthly at the public safety building. These monthly meetings have proven to have made great strides in improving relationships and building trust between Rockford Police and many members of the Latino community. In order to continue to enhance the progress, the Sheriff ’s office should be part of the dialogue. The CLL has not had the opportunity to meet and partner with the Winnebago County Sheriff until now. Sheriff Gary Caruana reached out to the CLL as a candidate and then as the elected Sheriff. In the few meetings held, Sheriff Caruana has demonstrated the strong desire to work with all county residents to improve public safety. Starting this month, Sheriff Caruana will participate in the monthly meetings with the CLL public safety committee and Chief Epperson. This type of engagement between key groups will help improve the understanding of the role we all have to build a better and safer region.

Por Dr. Rudy Valdez a confianza pública es una prioridad alta en una sociedad próspera. Sentirse seguro se manifiesta de diversas maneras en áreas tales como combatiendo incendios, la calidad de la comida y el agua, el sistema de tribunales y la infraestructura, solo por mencionar algunos de ellos. Sin embargo, la mayoría de la gente ve el cumplimiento de la ley como sinónimo de seguridad pública. Esta es el área en la que se enfocó la Coalición de Líderes Latinos cuando formó su comité de seguridad pública hace ya más de tres años. El propósito principal del comité de seguridad pública es ayudar a conectar la comunicación con la brecha que existe entre las entidades de cumplimiento de la ley y la comunidad latina. Abordar el miedo a lo desconocido que sienten los residentes y oficiales de seguridad, fue el área que se consideró como la más importante para establecer una base sólida de confianza. La estrategia tomada fue la de tener comunicación continua para acentuar relaciones fuertes y positivas. Desde el 2012, el comité de seguridad pública

de la CLL se ha reunido con el procurador general del estado de los condados Boone y Winnebago, con los comisarios de Rockford y Belvidere y con el comisario del distrito de parques de Rockford. La comunidad latina también ha participado en foros de seguridad pública dirigidos por Chet Epperson, el comisario de Rockford, y han sido presentados conjuntamente con la CLL en las iglesias St. Peter y St. Paul en el sur de Rockford. Además de las reuniones periódicas y los foros con los diferentes oficiales de la ley, la CLL y el comisario Epperson se reúnen mensualmente en el edificio de seguridad pública. Estas reuniones mensuales han demostrado dar grandes pasos hacia la mejora de relaciones y creación de confianza entre la policía de Rockford y los diversos miembros de la comunidad latina. Para continuar con el progreso, la comisaría debería formar parte del diálogo. Hasta ahora, la CLL no ha tenido la oportunidad de reunirse y asociarse con el comisario del condado de Winnebago. El comisario Gary Caruana se puso en contacto con la CLL cuando era candidato y luego cuando fue electo. En las pocas reuniones que se han tenido, el comisario Caruana ha demostrado un fuerte interés de trabajar junto a los residentes del condado para mejorar la seguridad pública. Empezando este mes, el comisario Caruana participará en las reuniones mensuales con el comité de seguridad pública de la CLL y el comisario Epperson. Este tipo de interacción entre grupos clave ayudará a mejorar el entendimiento del papel que desempeñamos todos para crear una región mejor y más segura.

Boycotting states: the future for climate activism?

By Joe Romm

From ThinkProgress.org

he next great moral imperative is the fight to preserve a livable climate for our children and future generations. For progressives to win this fight — and the fate of literally billions of people hangs in the balance — we will have to match the state-level success the LGBT community and its allies recently showed in changing a discriminatory Indiana law. Conservative political leaders and their polluting funders have declared their intention to do everything possible to seize control of state governments in 2016 and block climate action. The Koch brothers have pledged to raise an unprecedented $889 million just for this election cycle. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has not merely urged states to ignore the law’s requirement for them to put forward a state implementation plan to meet the EPA’s proposed Clean Power Plan standards. In one of the most shocking statements ever issued by any U.S. political leader, McConnell actually admitted publicly that his goal is to stop a global deal to avert catastrophic climate change. McConnell announced to the world last week that “our international partners should proceed with caution before entering into a binding, unattainable deal” in large part because “13 states have already pledged to fight” the EPA’s standards. How shocking a statement is this? The Paris climate talks this December are the world’s best chance to get as far as possible from the unimaginably catastrophic 6°C (11°F) path we’re currently on. They are the first — and maybe the last — chance to give the next generation a plausible shot at staying well below the 4°C (7°F) path that would render large parts of the Earth unsuitable for farming and virtually uninhabitable, probably for centuries. Imagine if there were a devastating global avian flu pandemic, and McConnell was urging the world governments not to come together to fight it aggressively because some U.S. states — egged on by McConnell himself — opposed the plan. That is how shocking McConnell’s effort to stop global climate action is. McConnell, the Kochs, and their pro-pollution allies, have taken the climate fight to the states. So the climate community will have to step up its game the way the LGBT community has. A decade ago, many progressive politicians ran away from LGBT rights, and some even credit John Kerry’s loss to the issue (although there is lots of blame to go around for that). A decade later, the politics on the issue have turned 180° as is clear from the national pushback against Indiana’s effort to legalize an-

If we stay near our current path of CO2 emissions, we will turn the normal climate of much of the country and world into “severe drought.” thinkprogress.org

ti-gay discrimination (in the name of religious liberty). The LGBT community and its many allies in the sports, entertainment, and business community (including Apple, Lilly, the NCAA, Accenture Financial, the NBA, the Indiana Pacers and numerous more) made clear that Indiana’s law would lead them to boycott or pull business from the state. I am NOT saying that the climate action movement is broadly analogous to the marriage equality movement. The harm that climate inaction will bring to billions in the future is just too different from the extensive past and present discrimination and harm gays suffer. But one key similarity is the moral nature of the cause. “Once third-rail issues transform into moral imperatives, impossibilities sometimes surrender to new realities,” as Salon explained in a 2013 piece on the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Indeed Salon explained in a late 2011 article that what “moved gay marriage into the mainstream in 2011” was “morality.” The LGBT community did not win by asking by asking for “tolerance.” They weren’t trying to get folks to “accept gay marriage by holding their moral noses.” No: “the lesson that the gay revolution holds for any progressive movement” is that “they set out to change change people’s minds about what is moral.” The fact that we are on track to harm billions of people who contributed little or nothing to their harsh fate makes climate inaction a grave “wrong,” as I wrote in November. But what makes our current inaction uniquely immoral in

the history of homo sapiens is that the large-scale harm is irreparable on any timescale that matters — many hundreds of years — and, of course, that we could avoid the worst of the irreparable harms at an astonishingly low net cost. That was the singular message of the most recent assessment of climate science by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), its 2014 “Synthesis” report. That report may have been the first time the world’s leading scientists and governments spelled out in detail why the irreversibility of impacts makes inaction so immoral. Here is the key finding (emphasis in original): “Without additional mitigation efforts beyond those in place today, and even with adaptation, warming by the end of the 21st century will lead to high to very high risk of severe, widespread, and irreversible impacts globally (high confidence).” That is a tremendously important argument. The climate panel acknowledges in the very next sentence that mitigation efforts involve “some level of co-benefits and of risks due to adverse side-effects.” But the risks involved in reducing greenhouse gas emissions are both quantitatively and qualitatively different than the risks stemming from inaction because they aren’t likely to be anywhere near as “severe, widespread, and irreversible,” as the IPCC explains. We don’t have to wonder what Jefferson and other founding fathers would think about the immorality of McConnell’s and the Kochs’ efforts to irreversibly destroy a livable climate

and healthy soil for future generations. As The Constitutional Law Foundation has explained, “The most succinct, systematic treatment of intergenerational principles left to us by the founders is that which was provided by Thomas Jefferson in his famous September 6, 1789 letter to James Madison.” The key question for Jefferson was very simple: Must later generations “consider the preceding generation as having had a right to eat up the whole soil of their country, in the course of a life?” Soil was an obvious focal point for examining the issue of intergenerational equity for a Virginia planter like Jefferson. The answer to Jefferson was another self-evident truth: “Every one will say no; that the soil is the gift of God to the living, as much as it had been to the deceased generation.” It is immoral for one generation to destroy another generation’s vital soil — or its livable climate. Hence it is unimaginably immoral to Dustbowlify their soil and ruin their livable climate irreversibly for many centuries if not millennia. But that will be the outcome if McConnell and the Kochs succeed in blocking or seriously delaying action at the state (and international) level. For the record, the EPA is legally obligated to issue rules regulating CO2 from existing power plants, since the Roberts Supreme Court 2007 ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA that carbon dioxide qualifies as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act that Congress passed years ago. And just last year, the Roberts Court affirmed 7 to 2 the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases from stationary sources, such as power plants. So McConnell is not accurate when he asserts that “two-thirds of the U.S. federal government hasn’t even signed off on” EPA action. He is more accurate when he says many “states have already pledged to fight it.” Sadly he himself has been pushing them hard to do just that. Nonetheless, states that join the effort to block serious climate action are making the choice for themselves, and that is a choice anyone who understands climate science should oppose. I asked Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org and one of the leaders of the climate movement, what he thought of Indiana, and its lesson for climate change. He told me, “this is what it looks like when the national mood has changed. Our job is to shift the zeitgeist, and if we do then the politics will follow.” Those who seek to block action to preserve a livable climate have chosen the battlefield. And that means it is fast approaching the time when all those who say they care about the climate, their children’s health and well-being, and future generations will have to stand up for their values state by state.

Illinois’ Budget Showdown: Head-to-head

Fix pension woes by taxing the rich State revenues are not the problem By Nancy Churchill Columnist

he state is in extraordinary financial straits, so of course it should renege on its pension obligations as the only way out of cutting state services, shuttering facilities and laying workers off. You see, state workers’ health insurance and pension benefits are far more generous than are those for most of the private sector. Rather than increase pensions for private workers, the object is to create resentment among them against public workers to justify reducing public pensions — a cheap way to sell the idea that the state should renege on its pension obligations — and its constitution. Public employees did nothing to deserve this attack on their pensions — they didn’t create the deficit, and contributed their share all along. But this isn’t the first time the pension fund has been tampered with to fix state budget woes. “The Illinois public pension issue has been bubbling for years,” says Carl Wicklander [ivn.us/2013/03/23/illinois-public-pension-reform-advances-from-house/]. “Much of the problem has been the state’s long history of politicians meddling with the overall pension system, dating back at least to Mayor Richard M. Daley, who led Chicago from 1989-2011.” According to Carl Gibson “neither the city of Chicago nor the state of Illinois made any payments [into the fund] between 1995 and 2000,” [salon.com/2015/03/16/rahm_emanuels_achilles_heel_6_reasons_he_may_lose_ his_reelection/]. “Time and again, the funds have been used as a bargaining chip or a piggy bank. Politicians trimmed budgets by offering early retirement incentives and greased union contract deals with increases in benefits. ‘Pension holidays’ allowed the city to avoid paying into workers’ retirement funds.” [articles. chicagotribune.com/2010-11-16/news/ctmet-pensions-deals-20101116_1_pensioncrisis-state-pension-debt-retirement-funds] This crisis was not created by public workers, it is reprehensible to expect them to take the hit for years of politicians’ financial mischief. But perhaps the envy campaign

Illinois’ new tax revenue has outpaced all states except North Dakota since the recession, according to U.S. Census data compiled by the Pew Charitable Trusts. Illinois Policy Institute

wasn’t convincing after all. Public protestors recently converged on the capitol and demanded a better solution of Gov. Rauner: tax the rich. Phillip Cantor of Chicago’s North-Grand High School Science Department, cited by Carl Gibson in the Salon article, explains how this can be done: “[A] small sales tax on financial transactions at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) could fund the pension shortfall just one year after being enacted.” Boom, done! This approach worked wonders in Minnesota under Governor Mark Dayton [huffingtonpost.com/carl-gibson/mark-dayton-minnesota-economy_b_6737786.html]. Gibson’s title says it all: “This Billionaire Governor Taxed the Rich and Increased the Minimum Wage — Now, His State’s Economy Is One of the Best in the Country.” But that’s expecting lawmakers to turn their backs on the very campaign contributors that put them in office! It’s so much easier to foment envy and pit private and public pensioners against one another. That’s what plutocrats do. It’s up to us to turn up the heat, demand state obligations are honored and solve this crisis by taxing the rich.

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

By Michael Lucci Illinois Policy Institute

new study from Pew Charitable Trusts has blown a hole in the myth that Illinois’ budget crisis is driven by a revenue shortage. Pew’s research shows that over the recession era, Illinois has increased state tax revenue more than any state except North Dakota. And revenues in Illinois and North Dakota have gone up for opposite reasons. Tax revenues in the Roughrider State have exploded as a result of massive economic growth, even while state income tax rates have been slashed in half. In Illinois, tax revenues went up in a stagnant economy as a result of the crippling 2011 income-tax hikes. Thirty states are collecting less tax revenue today than they were before the recession began, including neighboring Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin and Kentucky. But not Illinois. In the Land of Lincoln, tax revenues are up a whopping 22.5 percent over pre-recession highs, after adjusting for inflation, compared to a 2.5 percent average increase nationally. Illinois’ tax-hiking experiment came at a human cost: the worst job-creation record in the Midwest since the 2011 income-tax hikes. And the tax squeeze isn’t only at the state level: Local property-tax rates have shot up in

the same time period, putting taxpayers in a double bind. In contrast with Illinois, tax-revenue growth in places such as North Dakota and Texas has resulted from economic growth which has expanded the pool of tax-payers by putting more people on the job. Texas’ legislature dramatically slashed its budget in 2011, and afterward the state economy recovered and started growing again. Tax revenues in Texas are 13 percent above their pre-recession highs, which is not surprising because the Lone Star State now has 1.5 million more people working than before the recession, a 13 percent increase in employment. Illinois steered the opposite course. Instead of focusing on getting people back on the job by creating a friendly environment for businesses and entrepreneurs, Springfield politicians focused on bringing in more tax revenue. The results show a glaring contrast with Texas: While tax revenues are up 22.5 percent in Illinois, there are still 217,000 fewer Illinoisans working today than before the recession began, a 3.4 percent decrease. Despite all of these new taxes, Gov. Bruce Rauner inherited a budget so broken that it required $1.6 billion in emergency funding just to make it through the 2015 fiscal year. In the face of a projected $6-7 billion shortfall for fiscal year 2016, Illinois politicians have proposed billions in new tax revenue. Illinois’ pattern of taxing and spending is unsustainable and cannot continue. Illinois politicians have already raised taxes far beyond what has happened in any other state, and there are no results to show for it. Fiscal and economic reform should be at the top of the state’s policy agenda. The first step lawmakers should take is to embrace policies that encourage business expansion rather than exodus, such as workers’ compensation reform and local Right-to-Work laws. Lawmakers should also work to pass laws that will encourage entrepreneurship in the Land of Lincoln. By enacting policies that maximize job opportunities and economic output, Illinois can solve some of its problems through growth rather than attempting another round of failed tax hikes.

Travel Like An Architect

How to execute the 10 pound voyage

By Lynn and Rob Belles

Independent Vacation Specialists

ood is everywhere on a cruise, all the time. The choices are endless. If you are to avoid gaining that extra 10 pounds that you just trimmed off in preparation of your trip you will need a plan and an associated personal commitment. Where most people fail is going on a cruise with an open mouth and no plan or personal commitment. Our society is so focused on food that when offered in abundance most of us don’t use any self control, we just indulge as if it were our last day on earth. We regret it later - but then what’s done is done. Give yourself a break, make a plan and stick to it because it matters to you. When you Travel Like an Architect you will enjoy the healthy gourmet choices every day. You don’t have to give in, it is actually very easy to eat healthy food in reasonable portions. In fact we find it to be the easiest place to stay

on target and eat well because someone else is doing all the work. Our best tip for eating well is to eat in the dining room as often as possible and stay away from the buffet. In the dining room you can order as much as you want but the food will arrive in artfully arranged perfect portions. If you have special dietary needs you can request that your travel professional tag your booking with those ahead of time. We always request gluten free. When you arrive at the dining room for the first time your needs will be confirmed and your dedicated server will detail your preferences to make sure everything is perfect for the duration of your trip. Our favorite onboard snacks are fresh cut fruit & popcorn. You can make your own veggie tray at the salad bar, or even have an occasional sugar-free dessert. When you come home without that extra baggage you won’t have to beat yourself up and start over with your weight loss plan.

Rob and Lynn Belles are owners of Belles Firm of Architecture a local professional design firm, and the only real Architect Travel Agents known of. They are seasoned travelers with family and adult only international

travel experience. They are teaching others what they know about traveling as a family, a couple, and as business owners who stay connected with their clients, even while they are traveling abroad.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of April 8-14, 2015

This Week: We can slowly drag ourselves out from under the rock that the full Moon eclipse chased us under last weekend. Although many of us may seem a little foggy yet, clarity and new found energy will arrive as the days go on. Venus aligns with sensual Taurus allowing us to indulge in some of life’s simple pleasures. This is also a very good time to focus on improving simple health patterns and inducting new wellness regimes into our lives. No need to power up and blow a tendon with a much valued appendage. Just a slow and steady increase towards a perfect circle of mind, body and spirit alignment is all that’s required. Enjoy. Aries (March 21 to April 19) — A health issue regarding yourself or a loved one may be a top priority this week. Solutions are well on their way,

but it takes time and patience to move through this properly. There is love and support from various expected as well as unexpected sources, arriving at the 11th hour. Meanwhile, you will need to be conscious of how you will position yourself when the all clear signal arrives. Changes with physical and emotional elements align now. Expect the best outcome Aries and you will receive it . Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— This week starts out with a bang so make sure you’re eating your Wheaties Taurus. The topic of group travel may be a bit of a concern at first, but once you look at all of the benefits that will take place as a result of it, the outcome is a win/win solution. Unexpected financial gain arrives midsummer that allow this to become more of a reality than a fantasy. Midweek brings some unexpected news regarding the health of another. Offer up physical or emotional help where it’s needed Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You were appalled at the behavior of another early on this week and have some concerns that maybe drugs or alcohol abuse might be at the bottom of it. The less you say, the more you will learn. Keep your eyes

and ears open to those factors as the week wears on. Someone will inadvertently tip their hand and you will have the facts you need to face this complication clearly. The safety of children and pets come first with situations like these. Quietly document your findings Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Business can be a bit demanding early on this week yet there are significant improvements that arrive as a result of it. An impromptu gathering will provide you with new connections for love as well as business. Make sure you are stepping out there and accepting invitations to socialize this week. Be cautious of the neck and back during this time. You can not afford to be laid up with this hectic schedule arriving at this time Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — A call from a prospective employer may arrive during this lunar cycle putting you in a perfect position to make fabulous choices. A long standing friend or romantic partner can offer some wise advice regarding your personal connections at this time. Be open and allow those around you to provide you with insight. If you can take a time out to digest all of the information, a solution to a long standing problem will arrive shortly Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — A hidden influence revolving around a financial element comes to light in your favor now. With that said, powerful aspects regarding home and property are obtainable now. You are able to get those nagging projects out of the way and expand upon your current element. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. You will find the bargain of a life time or sell something that you no longer have any use for. Save some money for a rainy day Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Be cautious of emails and messages early on this week, make sure they are not falling into the wrong hands.

Pick up a book on Feng Shui and find a way to create sacred space within your living quarters. The stagnation that you have felt recently will break loose at this time. All eyes are on you Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Make sure you have your hands on your own steering wheel now instead of allowing another to communicate with their words spoken through your mouth. It appears as though others have utilized you as a tool to take jabs or hurtful actions towards someone you may have once loved and cared about. This gets especially complicated when children get caught in the middle of this type of element. Make sure that you are not losing all that is important to you over a fling in time. You need to stay awake and aware of what’s transpiring around you Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Finances begin to pick up as the week starts out putting you in a much better frame of mind. However; you must pay very close attention to those nearest and dearest to your heart this week. Outside influences could be creating such a distraction that you are not aware of what’s going on in your own backyard. Health issues may become a concern for a family member, friend or even yourself. Pay very close attention to what someone may not be saying and note any unusual behavior. You may save someone from a physical break down at this time Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Home and property are looking up with fabulous opportunities in store for you. If you have not made a shift with your work environment expect opportunities to arrive throughout the next three months. The stagnation with career you have been experiencing will break loose shortly. The powers that be will lead you in the right direction and will be able to value your gifts. Follow your dreams, hopes and ambitions this spring. The Universe will not steer you wrong Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — An unexpected treasure arrives from an unusual source this week. Go for it, this may have some long-term benefits as well as sentimental value for you or for someone close to you. You are full of surprises this week and everyone is elated with your energy levels now. Take extra precautions while traveling this month. With all of this additional activity arriving you do not have time for a transportation set back. Be cautious with children and pets Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) —Your intuition is running hot this week so throw out the book and go with your gut at this time. Not everything goes as expected and you need to be in a place where you can improvise quickly. Your sharp wit can get you through some frustrating obstacles. You have the ability to help another see things clearly, provided that you are listening instead of drawing conclusions without all of the facts Pisces.

Voices from the Grave

Sam Rotolo: ‘He never knew what hit him’ By Kathi Kresol Columnist

am Rotolo probably never knew what hit him. Sam was standing on the road with a flash light to warn people about an accident just as he had countless times before. Sam worked as a Deputy Sheriff for two years and was assigned to the traffic division. The newspapers are filled with the cases he investigated from 1935 and 1936. Sam was a busy guy. He had been married for five years and had a small daughter. Sam also served as the Democratic Senatorial Committeeman for the tenth senatorial district. He was popular with the people of Rockford. Many remembered him from when he played football for the E-Rabs in 1926 and 1927. He earned respect from people from all different walks of life and was known for treating people fairly and courteously. September 27, 1936 was a special day for Sam and his family. He and his wife celebrated

their fifth wedding anniversary. Sam was only 26 years old and must have felt that the future looked pretty good. He couldn’t know as he headed into work that evening that he only had a few hours to live. Sam and his fellow Deputy Lee Conley were called to the scene of an accident at North Second Street and Highway 173. They were working to direct traffic around the wreck and assisting the wrecker driver to remove the car. Owen Bassett was the tow truck driver and had just hooked the damaged car to the wrecker while Lee and Sam were waving large red flashlights to warn oncoming drivers. They were assisted by Elmer Wilkins who also held a large warning lantern and was waving it back and forth about 200 feet from the crash. Later, Bassett would testify that they were trying to hurry because it was close to midnight and the roads were slick from the rain. The rain had stopped but there was a fine mist falling as they worked.

Bassett was standing next to Sam at the back of the car when he heard Wilkins shout. Bassett would state that he was lifted up in air and thrown into the nearby ditch. He got up quickly and looked for Sam. Bassett found him fifty feet away from where he last saw him. Sam was lying on his back, bleeding from his mouth, eyes open and staring. He still grasped the flashlight in his hand. Bassett and Wilkins gently lifted Sam into the back of the Sheriff ’s car and Conley rushed Sam to the nearest hospital. The autopsy would show that Sam died of a skull fracture. Sam’s service was held at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Rotolo on Loomis Street. Another service was held at St. Anthony’s Church where several thousand people showed to pay their respects to this young man. There were so many floral tributes sent that only half could be displayed. The man who drove the car that hit Sam would later be tried for manslaughter. Kenneth Turrell was traveling from Rockford toward his home in Beloit with his wife and daughter. Turrell stated that he was only going forty five miles per hour and when he saw the warning light he slowed his speed to twenty five miles per hour. As Turrell approached the accident, he saw that the car being removed was still in the road and he slammed on his brakes, but the car swerved due to the wet pavement and he couldn’t stop in time. Wilkins testified that he thought that Turrell’s car was traveling at over fifty miles per hour and he didn’t slow down until the last moment. Turrell was acquitted of all charges.

The admiration for Sam didn’t stop after his death. On the first anniversary of his death, Sheriff Paul Johnson, Chief Deputy Carl Palmgren and State Representative Edward Hunter placed a wreath on his grave in recognition of the dedication Sam showed to his department and to this community. -kathi@hauntedrockford.com Clippings below from the Rockford Morning Star and the Rockford Register Republic.

Rockford Rocked Interviews

A chat with musician and entrepreneur Jim McDowell By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

RRI: What was it that made you want to be in a band or pick up an instrument at such a young age? JM: My mother was a professional bass player and the first nine months of my life were spent with my head smashed up against the side of a big old “doghouse.” I picked up guitar when I was around 10 and it was just a natural thing. Then The Grim Reapers happened and I was hooked. Craig Meyers has always been one of my favorite guitarists and influences. If anyone wants to jam on “Cruisin’ For Burgers” I haven’t forgotten a single lick. In the early 80’s you opened up a music store on Elm Street called Musician’s Choice. What are some of your fondest memories about running that store or just being there? Everything about it was a blast but the friends I made are the best memories. I love you all. I wanted the store to be a place where people could hang out and exchange ideas and get good service and advice. I’ve seen a lot of those people go on to do some really cool things, like you Todd, and I like to feel maybe somehow I was a small part of that. Being a stone’s throw away from the Metro Center there must have been times when a celebrity or two would stop in for guitar strings or a piccolo reed. Thoughts? Tons of interesting things happened with acts from across the street but one of my favorites was the day (guitarist) Steve Vai stopped in. He was all grungy waiting for sound check and sat at the counter reading a magazine. People came in and starred at him and left and all the while he said almost nothing. When he left he handed me the magazine and said he couldn’t believe the crap they printed in those things. I looked at the article he was reading and it was on Steve Vai! Your other hobbies include photography, acting, building custom instruments by hand and playing bass for the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. Tell us how you got that gig. I auditioned for the Symphony when I was 17 and got the gig, simple as that. I studied classical with some of the most renowned teachers in the country. And I played all over the country with various orchestras. The problem was I had to always be traveling to keep up the work. In those days we had six-or-seven clubs doing music seven nights a week. Since my career was based on playing all types of genres, both in the studio and on stage, it was much easier to change my direction and stay closer to home. You were also head sound engineer for the notorious Rockford metal band RIPT. Any stories you would like to share? Every day brought another story that always seemed to top the one before. Most of them probably not suitable for print. Even though we had some really hard times the end result is that

they are some of my very best friends. I would run the gauntlet for any one of those guys any time. People seem to dig this part of our interviews so let’s keep it! I say a word or phrase and you say what pops into your head. Ready? Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center. We need this. The Elvis Brothers Band. Love Brad. Pork Chop Alley (former diner near Rockford’s Metro Center). I still have a good 20 pounds I gained there. Sting. Fabulous musician, glad I never played with him. Bristol Renaissance Faire or any Renaissance Faire for that matter. That’s the real me. Irish pub food. Not as good as Scottish but it will do in a pinch.

Tell us about the Jodi Beach Trio. I love that gig – of course I am engaged to the afore named. After all of these years of doing everything you can imagine I am enjoying taking some real great standard jazz material and presenting it in a concert fashion. It’s really very challenging and rewarding to see the effect this material has on certain audiences. What’s next for Jim McDowell? I wish I could say a nap but no moss grows on this stone. The studio is keeping me very busy. Getting married in October, recording the music for Starlight Theatre’s The Last 5 Years, two new CDs in the works, remodeling the house, tour dates, raking leaves, 5 unfinished guitars on the bench, I published a book and have to get out and shop it around, and of course, I will always take the time to read the interviews in the Rock River Times. This Rockford Rocked Interview first ran on RockRiverTimes.com. Find more exclusive content every day on our website.

Hockey

Time is coming to switch on for Lord Stanley’s Cup By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

ow that March Madness is a vision in my rear view mirror, I can switch my attention away from the hardwood and concentrate on the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs. This past week the Chicago Blackhawks secured their seventh consecutive postseason berth. This is the first time since 1991-97 that the Blackhawks will make seven straight postseason appearances. There are two more regular season games left on Chicago’s schedule before the playoffs begin. Both are on the

road. Tomorrow night the Blackhawks skate in St. Louis against their central division rivals, the Blues. Their 2015 regular season will come to a close against another division foe. They take on the Avalanche in Colorado on Saturday night.

At pre s s t i m e t h e B l a c k h aw k s w e re t h i rd i n t h e d i v i s i on , b e h i n d t h e St . L ou i s B lu e s an d t h e Na s h v i l l e Pre d at or s . Only three points separated first place from third place. Depending on the results of the final few games for the Blues, Predators and ‘Hawks any one of the three could win the division. The National Hockey League season ends this Saturday. The playoffs will likely begin on Tuesday, April 14 or Wednesday, April 15. Due to the dynamics of the schedule and how close the central division is,

it is unclear who might be Chicago’s first round opponent and whether they will have home ice advantage or open up the playoffs on the road. Even as nebulous as the NHL postseason looks today, there are still a couple of certainties. Playoff hockey is right around the corner and it’s always the best hockey of the year. Let’s go Blackhawks! The Rockford IceHogs, Chicago’s AHL affiliate, also clinched a playoff bir th this past weekend. See the back cover of this week’s issue for coverage of their first postseason appearance in five years.

Local Sports Scene

Save indoor sports for the winter season By Doug Halberstadt Columnist

he calendar says April and spring has officially been here for a couple of weeks now. The temperatures are finally starting to agree. The grass is beginning to change from brown to green. The local golf courses are open. All signs indicate that I should be outdoors enjoying the long awaited seasonal change. For me and the rest of the guys in my bowling league, we’re going to have to wait a couple of more weeks. For some unknown reason our season runs 33 weeks. We start the first week of September and don’t wrap things up until the middle of April. Why does the season need to be so long? I think it’s time to shorten it up by about three weeks. There’s no viable reason I can see why we should still be bowling in April. I’d like to suggest to our league officials and to the Cherry Bowl that they consider changing the contract for next year. I think a 30 week season would be a lot more attractive to an overwhelming majority of the bowlers in our league. Instead of starting before Labor Day we could start the following week and finish no later than the last week of March. I’m guessing Cherry Bowl would be reluctant to the change. Why would they voluntarily give up the three additional weeks of revenue? Here’s why. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. Accept the shortened season and don’t lose the league. To offset the three lost weeks of revenue, they could

charge an extra dollar per week from each of the bowlers. By my estimation it would be pretty close to the same amount of money per season. I doubt that there would be much, if any backlash from the bowlers over the slight increase. I know I’d gladly pay an extra buck a week in exchange for getting done three weeks earlier. If they didn’t agree, I’m sure there is at least one other, perhaps more, bowling venues in the area that would welcome our 15 team league for a 30 week season. I know there are a few guys in our

league that wouldn’t want to change venues. I also know there are several more bowlers out there that would gladly bowl if they didn’t have to commit to a 33 week season. I’m pretty confident we could still easily field a full league at a new house. Hopefully, an agreement could be reached and make it a win-win for the league and the house. Given the option, I don’t know of a single guy in our league that wouldn’t rather be outside when it’s sunny and sixty degrees or above, not indoors bowling. I strongly urge the two sides to find some common ground. Let’s get this fixed, once and for all.

Your 2015 White Sox in a perfect world (or the apocolypse)

By Collin Whitchurch The Catbird Seat

aseball season is finally here. After months of speculating, the White Sox’s 25-man roster is set and the starting nine has opened the season against the defending American League champion Kansas City Royals. Now that all the roster-building questions have been answered, what can we expect out of these guys? Let’s take our best guess.

The starting lineup

CF ADAM EATON A perfect world: This one’s simple. Eaton continues to build on what he did last year, but does so for 150+ games instead of 123. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Crashes into wall on Opening Day and misses entire season. LF MELKY CABRERA A perfect world: Cabrera is hell on opposing teams as the No. 2 hitter, posting an OBP in the high .300s and bashing 30-40 doubles. And he’s an adequate to above-average defender. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Less walks, more strikeouts and defense in LF that has us yearning for Dayan Viciedo. 1B JOSE ABREU A perfect world: Abreu surpasses even the lofty expectations we’ve placed on him after his rookie year. He wins the Triple Crown, leads the White Sox to the best record in the American League and is the unanimous league MVP. It’s the end of the world as we know it: We must never speak of this. DH ADAM LAROCHE A perfect world: Basically everything Adam Dunn was supposed to be, but with slightly fewer home runs and strikeouts, and good enough defense that he can spell Abreu. Worst-case-scenario: Basically everything Adam Dunn was in 2011. RF AVISAIL GARCIA A perfect world: All that potential we’ve been talking about Garcia’s having for the past year-plus is finally realized, Garcia becomes a 20-20 guy, hits over .300, improves his walk

and strikeout rates and makes an unexpected All-Star team. It’s the end of the world as we know it: We start comparing him to Dayan Viciedo. SS ALEXEI RAMIREZ A perfect world: Ramirez realizes that he’s not going to be able to keep making contact at the rate he has forever, so he becomes more patient and starts drawing a bunch of walks. And that contact rate stays about the same. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Ramirez has never been an on-base machine, but if his bat speed slows down and he’s unable to make contact, he becomes a ~.250 hitter with an on-base perfecting dipping below .300. He strikes out 100 times for the first time in his career and his defense takes a big step backward.

3B CONOR GILLASPIE A perfect world: This has less to do with CONOR than the bench, but the hope is that one of the bench guys is good enough against lefties that we don’t see him in the lineup against them too often, Also, he’s not an albatross defensively. It’s the end of the world as we know it: He hits against everyone the way he hits against lefties. C TYLER FLOWERS A perfect world: Flowers bashes his way to his first 20-HR season, eclipses a .300 OBP and becomes an above-average defender. It’s the end of the world as we know it: At a position that is incredibly thin on talent leaguewide, Flowers becomes unplayably bad, Geovany Soto gets hurt and the position becomes the worst black hole on the roster. 2B MICAH JOHNSON A perfect world: This one’s tough, as there’s no precedent to base Johnson’s performance from. Let’s just say it would be awesome if both his bat and defense are good enough for him to stick at the position yearlong and he reeks havoc on the basepaths. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Johnson is in Charlotte by the end of April, Carlos Sanchez isn’t any better and we’re treated to another season filled with Gordon Beckham’s infield pop-ups.

The starting rotation

CHRIS SALE A perfect world: Sale rivals Clayton Kershaw

for best pitcher on the planet and is in the conversation for both the Cy Young award and MVP. It’s the end of the world as we know it: We must never speak of this. JEFF SAMARDZIJA A perfect world: Samardzija is the real deal. His strikeout and walk rates rival those of 2014, he posts an ERA below 3.00 and gives the White Sox a true three-headed monster in the rotation. It’s the end of the world as we know it: The real Jeff Samardzija is actually the one we saw in 2013 when, despite the lofty strikeout numbers, he walked too many guys, allowed too many hits and was basically a middle-of-the-rotation pitcher. JOSE QUINTANA A perfect world: Quintana is markedly better in every single aspect, makes his first All-Star team and enters the Cy Young conversation. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Quintana suffers a serious shoulder injury and becomes John Danks. JOHN DANKS A perfect world: Danks takes a magical potion that heals his shoulder forever and he becomes the pitcher we thought he’d be in 2010. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Danks is so bad that he can’t even make it out of April and Carlos Rodon isn’t ready. HECTOR NOESI A perfect world: Noesi is an innings eater who is just good enough to hold down the No. 4 or 5 spot in the rotation. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Every start is like his last appearance for the Texas Rangers (against the White Sox).

The bench

A perfect world: Geovany Soto stays healthy, plays great defense and becomes a good enough hitter that he eventually usurps Flowers as the starter. Emilio Bonifacio plays well enough on the infield and in center that he’s able to spell the starters on a regular basis, Carlos Sanchez forces Robin to give him more playing time, J.B. Shuck is a solid bat bench and defensive replacement, and we never see or hear from Gordon Beckham ever again. It’s the end of the world as we know it: Soto gets hurt and the guys who replace him are terrible, injuries thrust Bonifacio and Beckham into the starting lineup on a regular basis.

The bullpen

A perfect world: David Robertson, Zach Duke and a third guy (Dan Jennings or otherwise) do their best Kelvin Herrera/Wade Davis/ Greg Holland impersonation. White Sox games are over after the seventh inning. The rest of the guys don’t harm themselves or others. It’s the end of the world as we know it: 2014 Redux.

ICEHOGS

From Back Cover

it started for the Griffins the previous game – a goal within the first minute of the period. Ross, assisted by Kyle Cumsikey and Phillip Danault, gave Rockford another two-goal cushion. Grand Rapids closed the shot gap throughout the period, and Nathan Paetsch scored at 17:11 of the period to once again cut the lead to a single goal. Back-and-forth action highlighted the third period with Rockford getting that important next goal. Ryan Hartman, from Terry Broadhurst, gave Rockford yet another two-goal lead at 9:43 of the period. Just 30 seconds later, Rockford drove a dagger into the Griffins with another goal, giving the IceHogs some more breathing room. Ross tallied his third point of the game with a goal assisted by McNeill. With over six minutes left in the period, and down by three goals, Grand Rapids pulled goaltender Thomas McCollum to try to get a few goals with the extra attacker. Rockford, however, survived some pressure and Hartman iced the game with a 160 foot clearing attempt into the back of the Grand Rapids net for the 6-2 lead and eventual final score. The win kept Rockford in the hunt for first place in the Midwest division. Rockford followed up their Friday win with a dominating 7-2 win on Saturday against the Rochester Americans. Rockford controlled pace early but it was Rochester getting on the board first. Dan Catenacci beat Michael Leighton on Rochester’s second shot of the game to take a 1-0 lead midway through the period. A late tripping penalty gave Rockford an opportunity for their first power play goal and they took full advantage of the extra attacker. Broadhurst scored midway through the power play to even the score at 1-1. For the second straight game, Rockford scored two goals in under one minute. McNeill corralled a loose puck from a rebound of a Danault shot for his 20th of the season, giving Rockford a 2-1 lead. Rochester was only one goal behind on the scoreboard but were being outplayed by Rockford in all other aspects, including shots-ongoal, where Rockford held a 13-4 advantage. Period two was more of the same with Rockford controlling the pace and play of the game. Hartman lit the lamp with his 13th of the season on Rockford’s third power play opportunity 6:51 into the frame. Midway through the period, Rochester put their first shot on net, which was a goal from Evan Rankin. Despite only showing five shots on goal midway through the game, Rochester was only down by a 3-2 score. Regin put Rockford ahead by two four minutes later as Rockford connected on yet another power play goal. Once again it was Abbott setting up the goal as Regin was alone in the slot and fired a shot uncontested to the back of the net. Three minutes later, Dennis Rasmussen dove at a loose puck in the crease and poked

Garrett Ross scored his 21st goal of the season for Rockford during Saturday’s 7-2 thrashing of the Rochester Americans. Ross tallied four points in two games this weekend, with two goals and two assists. The win secured a post-season berth for the IceHogs into the 2015 Calder Cup playoffs. Photo by Todd Reicher

home his 12th of the year to give Rockford a commanding 5-2 lead which would carry into the final frame. After two periods of play Rockford held a three goal lead as well as a whopping 29-9 shots-on-goal advantage. Broadhurst tallied his second goal of the evening off a perfect feed from Danault, and Ross scored his 21st of the season, fed by Broadhurst to cap the scoring. The final assist by Broadhurst gave the second-year winger his fifth point of the game, tying an AHL season high. The Americans were unable to create any additional offense in the third period and two third period goals from Rockford gave the ‘Hogs a dominating 7-2 win. The Americans 14 shots on goal were the lowest amount of shots Rockford has surrendered in a game this season.

Injuries are starting to take a toll on Rockford with a few key players out. Pierre Cedric Labrie has missed three straight games with a lower body injury and Trevor van Riemsdyk, who just returned a few weeks back from a major knee injury, will be out for eight weeks following wrist surgery. Labrie is expected to be ready for the IceHogs playoff run. The IceHogs wrap up their three game home stand with a Tuesday matchup against the Milwaukee Admirals (results unavailable at press time). Rockford then embarks on their final road trip of the regular season, starting in Iowa against the Wild on Thursday, followed by a two game series against the Charlotte Checkers. Rockford then returns home for the final three games of the regular season –

a third straight game against the Checkers, followed by a meeting against the Chicago Wolves and closing with the Toronto Marlies for the regular season finale. As of the end of week 25, Rockford sits three points behind the Grand Rapids Griffins with one game in hand for the top seed in the Midwest Division. Rockford has the easier road to the end of the season with only two of their final seven games against playoff-bound teams and four games at home, while the Griffins have three of their six against playoff teams, with a key twogame series against the San Antonio Rampage. The Griffins play three of their last six at home. Find more exclusive photos by Todd at his website, ReicherStudios.com.

Tales from the Trough

PLAYOFF BOUND

Streaking ‘Hogs clinch first postseason appearance in 5 years By Todd Reicher Exclusive to TRRT

It’s been five years since the IceHogs have made it to the postseason but Rockford is finally returning after winning both home games this past weekend. After being trounced by the Grand Rapids Griffins 6-1 last Wednesday the IceHogs gave it right

back to them on Friday with a 6-2 win. Mark McNeill put Rockford on the board first with his 19th tally of the season, assisted by Garrett Ross and Viktor Svedberg. McNeill’s goal was followed by six minutes later by Peter Regin, assisted by Spencer Abbott and Brandon Mashinter, to put Rockford up 2-0.

With 1:41 left in the period, Griffins captain Jeff Hoggan cut the Rockford lead in half with his 12th goal, unassisted. Despite being outshot 19-9, the Griffins were still very much in the game. The second period started out for Rockford how See ICEHOGS on Page 44
