Our Thoughts | StateDemmer to introduce failed public notices legislation in House

Last year, it was Rockford’s own Joe Sosnowski; this year it’s Tom Demmer, the Republican state representative from Dixon.

Boilerplate legislation to take public notices out of newspapers and hand the responsibility of publishing the notices over to the state’s bloated bodies of government is set to come before the House as soon as this week. HB 6098 would have each local body of government publish those notices on either their own websites or a central statewide database.

If all this sounds familiar it should: it’s a near carbon copy of Sosnowski’s HB 261 from 2015 and legislation the GOP has worked tirelessly to bring in across the country.

It worked in getting passed in just one instance so far. Utah trotted out similar legislation in 2009 only to see it repealed in 2011 after government bodies failed to comply with posting the required information.

An audit of 750 units of government in Illinois produced shortly before Sosnowski’s bill came to the floor 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 any website whatsoever.

In a statement, the Illinois Press Association said: “Newspapers agree that public notices should be on the internet. That’s why we supported legislation passed five years ago (P.A. 96-1144) that requires every newspaper to post all public notices on a centralized, statewide website at no additional cost to government.

“That website, PublicNoticeIllinois.com, is the sole online location for every public notice published in the State of Illinois. Allowing local governments to post public notices on their own websites means that this information would be scattered across more than 8,000 online locations; having this information located in one searchable online database is of extreme importance to taxpayers.”

IPA continued, “it is counterproductive to transfer responsibilities from the private sector to the public sector, and give local government more duties when they will undoubtedly be operating with fewer employees in the future. We believe that newspapers can do a better job.

“Many citizens, including the elderly, minorities and those in rural areas do not have access to the internet. In fact, AARP, representing citizens 50 and older, has opposed legislation removing public notices from newspapers in state legislatures across the country.”

At a time when the legislature can’t even get a budget put together and local governments across the state are struggling to make ends meet, Demmer is proposing a bill that would place a greater financial burden on Illinois’ nearly 7,000 units of government, all the while denying citizens the ability to dependably access these vital records.

“Advocates for taking public notices out of newspapers claim that it will save money – but local government has never substantiated this claim,” said the IPA. “Furthermore, the money spent on putting public notices in newspapers is insignificant compared to the local government’s budget.

“Years from now, any citizen could go to a newspaper and read what the government did. The reliability of newspaper publication is so well established that courts in Illinois accept the published contents as evidence in court, and require it for many court actions.”

We urge you to call your local legislator and tell them to stop this pointless and costly bill at a time when the state is limping along financially. Tom Demmer should be ashamed to even introduce it in the first place.

Election 2016

PARALLEL LINES

The Governor of Wis-consin has made a great deal of noise in his

tenure, his opening salvo seeing the state respond by calling for a recall election in 2012.

That was an election Scott Walker would go on to win by an even wider margin than his 2010 victory over Democratic candidate Tom Barrett, and it was no coincidence: Republicans across the state love the work of the fiscal conservative, who has an approval rating near 80 percent among the GOP according to the polls at Marquette University.

But a closer look at Walker’s conservative playbook gives us a glimpse into that of a po-tential Ted Cruz presidency. Those outside the Midwest may not realize how influential Walker’s

endorsement was to the presidential candidate, who for Republicans would appear to be a great hope for the party traditionalist pulling for a conservative movement of less government and more morality.

With that being said, Walker and Cruz, the first-term senator from Texas, believe that harsher sentences reduce crime, something that the Wisconsin governor has already implement-ed with the state. Since being elected in 2010, Walker’s focus on morality has succeeded by lowering the incarceration rate each year. How-ever, national media has made the numbers clear to which demographic these punishments are aimed at. A serious issue during this campaign with the “Black Lives Matter” movement, which has created a flock of protesters at GOP rallies and a monument of expectations being put on the Democratic Party to do more.

The BBC even went as far as to produce a short documentary on the state’s prison issue called

“Why does Wisconsin send so many black people to jail?” Wisconsin’s African-American popula-tion sit at only eight percent African-American, putting them near the bottom in the country.

In Walker’s tenure, he has launched a crack-down on traffic violations, and with that the per-centage of cars stopped has gone up 281 percent. The statistics released to the public by the BBC News investigation team shows that the arguably outrageous percentage increase has lead to mass incarcerations, again targeting one demographic.

Today, 13 percent of prisoners throughout the state of Wisconsin are black males – the highest percentage of African American incarcerations in the country and three percentage points higher than runner-up Oklahoma.

The national rate of African American incar-cerations is half what it is in Wisconsin, sitting at 6.7 percent, a national issue brought to light due to the fact that black males are six times more likely to be sent to prison than white males.

A closer look at the state’s most populated area, Milwaukee County, gives an even harsher look at Wisconsin’s incarceration epidemic. In the county, one in eight black males (of all ages) have spent time in the state prison. Over 50 percent of the county’s black male demographic over the age of 30 has been to the state prison, not counting those from the that currently reside in the penitentiary.

If numbers like that are haunting, then the statistical repercussions should be on the brink of hysterical terror for either party. Of the 233,000 African Americans men currently living in Mil-waukee County, over 40 percent are living under the poverty line. That number currently stands at $11,880 for an individual.

An example to put this in perspective would be a family of three making the maximum annual household income before going over the number the state considers poverty: $20,160. The average rent in Milwaukee County is $686 dollars for

Join the Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful a one bedroom apartment, which basic math proves the impossibility to stay above water without federal aid when working full-time for minimum wage in Wisconsin. (This is of course not to ignore the many other states suffering the same problem.)

The head of this household would have to work a 53 hour work week at the state’s minimum wage of $7.25 just to reach that number, a hourly figure that Walker and allies have worked hard to ensure doesn’t see an increase any time soon.

But breaking the poverty line does not mean there is breathing room for families like this, either. With rent over $8,000 a year at that $686 average, that leaves the family with roughly $12,000 to handle car insurance, health care, groceries, living necessities, check-ups, emergen-cies... everything else any other family needs, all while working 13 hours of overtime a week. The head of this household struggling to get by would need to make the massive sum of $9.69 to hit the poverty line working a 40-hour week.

Expecting conservatives like Walker or Cruz to effort toward that lowest of thresholds any time soon is like waiting for a snow storm in the Sahara. “The left claims that they’re for American workers,” Walker said on Fox News last year. “They’ve just got really lame ideas, things like the minimum wage. Instead of focusing on that, we need to talk about how we give people the skills and the education, the qualifications they need to take on careers that pay far more than minimum wage.”

At least he’s right on one part: the minimum wage is lame and needs to be much much higher.

Unfortunately, the problems for Wisconsin’s poorest residents does not stop there. One-in-three black males currently locked-up in the state penitentiary are serving due to non-violent crimes. In Wisconsin, non-violent criminals serve an average sentence just below two and a half years – 879 days, to be exact.

From there they are sent back to the real world to fend for themselves, but jobs are scarce in Milwaukee County especially for a convicted criminal: unemployment there sits at 24.6 per-cent for black males, while 47 percent do not have a driver’s license and more than three-quarters of jobs available to those with a record are outside the county bus line.

Data comparison pulled by InsideGov shows that Cruz and Walker are nearly identical in their beliefs when it comes to security and crime-relat-ed punishment. The Democratic candidates were both vocal during Wisconsin events regarding the embarrassing demographic makeup of the state’s jails, despite the steady decrease in crime per capita, a statistic that is more important to the GOP and Walker.

The main difference between Walker and Cruz is that the senator has been vocal on cracking down even harder on crime with outside terrorist threats still looming. If Walker and Wisconsin serve as a soft glimpse into what is to come with this conservative movement, this is what’s in store for the rest of the country if Cruz takes the presidential oath: despite the rhetoric centered around ISIS, African-Americans will continue to be at the striking end of the law.

Earth Day

By Joe RommThinkProgress.org

Last month was the hottest March on record by far, NOAA confirmed Tuesday. March was 2.2°F above the 20th century average. This anomaly (departure from “normal”) was “the highest monthly temperature departure among all months” in the 1880-2016 record.

It follows the hottest February on record in the NOAA dataset, which followed the hottest January on record, hottest December on record, hottest November, hottest October, hottest September, hottest August, hottest July, hottest June, and hottest May. This 11-month streak “is the longest such streak in NOAA’s 137-year climate record.”

And if you guessed that means the 12-month running average temperature for the planet must be headed off the charts, you’re right:

Those who see a pattern here driven by human-caused global warming are in the company of over 97 percent of climate scientists.

It’s true that we are in (the tail end of) an El Niño, which temporarily raises global temperatures. As NOAA notes, “the last time a similar strength El Niño occurred” was 1997-1998. Sou at HotWhopper has created a chart using NASA data comparing the current warming with that of the last two big El Niños. So we are blowing out the temperature of both of the previous big El Niños by 0.4°C (0.7°F).

And if you are starting to think 2016 is going to be the hottest year on record — despite the fact that 2015 was the hottest year on record by far

— you aren’t alone.Gavin Schmidt, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space

Studies, tweeted Friday that he thinks we have a “99% chance of an annual record in 2016.”

Finally, NOAA is concerned that it keeps repeating itself with each new monthly temperature report, opening its news release, “At the risk of sounding like a broken record, March set another heat record for the globe.”

An even bigger concern is that all of these astonishing records means the long-awaited speed up in global temperatures is here. And that would mean we could see Arctic warming rise a stunning 1°F per decade by the 2020s, which is truly something to worry about.

Energy & Environment

A vision for an all-electric AmericaBy Drs. Robert & Sonia VoglPresident and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

In their book, All Electric America, S. David Freedman and Leah Y. Parks declare that re-newable energy sources can provide us with

all the energy we need to run our economy. Their perspective is tempered by Freedman’s 40 years as an energy policy maker and utility CEO. They call for an energy transition that occurs quickly enough to prevent runaway global warming. Wind and solar energy alone are depicted as sufficient to meet all of our energy demand far into the future.

In order to limit total greenhouse gases enough to stay under the 2oC temperature increase all four sources of major emissions including electric, building heating, transpor-tation and industrial uses must be dramatically reduced. By reducing the use of fossil fuels at a rate of 3 percent per year and installing renew-able energy capacity at an appropriate rate the economy could be emission free by 2050. The authors claim this transition to a renewable energy future with energy storage can be done at costs not exceeding those of oil, gas and nuclear options.

While the need to curb emissions of climate changing gases is a major driving force sup-porting renewable energy sources, falling costs of renewable energy and energy storage add to their appeal.

The transition would primarily rely on the use of efficiency, conservation, solar, wind, hydrogen, heat pumps, energy storage and electrified transportation. The technologies are robust and cost effective and can be integrated to provide reliable energy services locally.

On a national scale California is leading the transition to a renewable energy based econo-my. They hope to reach their goal of 50 percent renewable energy by 2030 ahead of schedule. A local installer who is also active in California reports new homes there are built to accommo-date solar PV systems.

While there are multiple installations of renewable technologies in Illinois they are not near the scale necessary to meet the goal of being emission free by 2050. The state appears unlikely to meet its 2016 target of 11.5 percent for electricity from renewable sources.

The goal of limiting oil, coal and gas com-bustion is an enormous challenge given the fossil fuels remaining in the ground. Fossil fuel

industries supply profits, dividends and jobs and continue to provide powerful opposition to a transition to renewable energy. Their vision embraces all available energy options including nuclear power along with technologies to reduce the release of climate changing gases to the atmosphere or capture and store them underground.

Illinois existing renewable energy standards call for 25 percent of our electric consumption from renewable sources by 2025. Efforts to meet that goal have stalled so our energy future remains clouded. As pointed out by Peter Maloney in a recent article in Utility Drive legislative conflicts remain regarding increased

subsidies for nuclear power reactors, financing renewable energy development and whether to grant Commonwealth Edison the right to build electric vehicle charging stations, energy storage facilities and microgrids as other firms have been active installing such facilities.

The outcome of this legislative battle holds important implications for the role of renew-able energy and efficiency in Illinois. While an all-electric future appears technologically fea-sible, its timely arrival requires massive public support. An important aspect of public support includes individuals making a transition to renewable energy sources in their own lives.

COLORMr Green Car

By Allen PenticoffContributor

R aise your hand if you’ve never been distracted while driving. I don’t see any hands. That’s being honest. While I’m

about to preach against distracted driving, I’m guilty too. Once I was riding my motorcycle, a Norton 850, in stop and go traffic when a pretty girl walking on a sidewalk to my left distracted me. My attention returned to what I was doing just in time to hit the brakes and barely tap the bumper of a car in front of me. There have been other close calls caused by messing with phones, food, or music.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) studies this problem of “distracted driving” and reports that eight people are killed and over 1,000 injured DAILY in the United States due to distracted driving. Thus over 3,000 cit-izens were killed in 2014 and 400,000 injured as a direct result of distracted driving. That’s like one 9/11 terror attack every year – but we are doing it to ourselves, not some bad guys. One out of five injury motor vehicle accidents involves distracted driving.

The CDC breaks the problem down like this – there are three forms of distracted driving: Visual – where the driver has taken their eyes off the road; Manual – taking your hands off the wheel; and Cognitive – when your mind is not on driving. Texting while driving is an especially

hazardous activity because all three types of dis-traction are involved. During a typical text done while driving at 55 mph the vehicle will cover a distance of a football field. A lot can happen in 300 feet when you’re not looking.

According to the CDC, nearly 70 percent of American drivers aged 18 to 64 report having driven while distracted within the last 30 days and 31 percent report having texted while driving in the same period. I know they are, because they don’t go when the traffic light turns green! I may wear my horn out. People driving slower than traffic or even stopped, weaving around, making last minute lane changes – I see it all the time, with their head tilted to their phone or head down looking at their lap. Not only is it illegal to text and drive – it is downright homicidal.

Drivers under 20 are most prone to doing this according to the CDC. Two of five students texted while driving in the past 30 days and those who text while driving are far more likely to ride with a driver who has been drinking or drink and drive themselves. By the time they graduate high school, 48 percent will be involved in an accident caused by the driver texting. You might consider getting the device at Text.Ninja that stops teens from text messages appearing on phones while driving. The device and app determine the car is being driven, blocks message announcements and sends out an auto-reply (saying more or

less), “busy driving will get back to you soon.” The Text.Ninja website has some interesting distracted driving statistical graphs – and shows texting while driving is more than twice as likely of an accident than driving with a blood alcohol content of .08. Which, respectively, are 23 times and 11 times more likely to have an accident than an undistracted driver.

At the Chicago Auto Show I attended a seminar and awards ceremony put on by Drive Safe Chicago where a contest for high school students to produce a PSA video for the National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF.org) about distracted driving was revealed. Three videos were shown, and all were good. The winner would have their PSA made professionally by an Emmy award-winning director for nationwide broadcast (see Teen Lane on their website for this year’s contest information). However, the most poignant of them, was one where the student was sitting in school at a table exchanging texts with his mother who was driving, about when she would pick him up – but the texts stopped as his mother had been in an accident and the student was bewildered and worried as to why she was no longer responding to the texts.

Across the hall was the Toyota TeenDrive 365 simulator in a full sized car. Here you took the driver’s seat and virtual reality goggles were put on. As you drove through a virtual

city with the car, it responded like a real one – meanwhile you were encouraged to mess with the navigation screen, answer your cellphone or take a drink from a cup. Always about the time you were distracted – something hap-pened on the street. It did not go well. Toyota then sent you an email with a link to view your experience online.

Throughout the auto show I saw ever more evidence that the auto manufacturers are sending mixed signals. On one hand they discourage dis-tracted driving, yet the new cars have more cup holders, places to lay your tablet or big cell phone within easy reach of the driver, charging and connectivity ports. Large navigation screens and control menus for everything from the radio to the heater require a look at the screen and make a touch – then more touching, and more touching. Voice activated commands are supposed to alle-viate some of this look and touch problem, but my experience is that it doesn’t work all that well, and is distractive itself. Now Google and Apple have systems built into the autos that allow what is happening on your phone to appear on and be dealt with on the navigation screen. Convenient – but dangerous.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness month. Start by turning off the ringer on your phone while driving. Put it out of sight. No text, call, or email is worth a life.

We can only blame ourselves for distracted driving

Winnebago County’s part of 1 million free treesVOICES

OF THECOMMUNITY

Let us know what your organizationis up to. Send your submission to

[email protected].

‘As of this year, we will reached our goal of planting 1 million trees, and we will continue with our new nursery

in Iowa,” said Tammy Becker, the programs manager for Chad Pregracke’s (CNN Hero Of The Year 2014) Living Lands & Waters (LLW). You can learn more about this amazing organi-zation at livinglandsandwaters.org.

With the trees again courtesy of LLW, the Rock River Trail Initiative’s sixth annual 10,000 tree distribution this past weekend went very well. The trees were distributed in two days rather than three along the entire 320-mile course of the Rock River. Demand is building in each of the 11 counties that the Rock River runs through.

In Winnebago County, Khelm Arboretum, 2715 S. Main St., was a first-time location for free oak trees, and more than 300 swamp white and bur oak trees were picked up last Saturday and Sunday. Klehm Executive Director Dan Riggs said he was pleased with the response, and he will interplant 100 of the new oaks among mature oaks as part of Klehm’s ongoing restoration efforts. Another 150 of the oaks will be given away at the third Annual Arbor Dash 5K, Friday, April 29. Call Klehm at 815-965-8146 for more information.

As in past years, the great Keep Northern Illi-nois Beautiful organization will distribute the oak trees during its impressive Great American Clean Up, Saturday, April 30 at the New Milford Village Hall, 6771 S. 11th St., and at Rockton’s Village Green Park, 100 E. Chapel St. Register by calling 815-637-1343, or register the day of the event at Patriots’ Gateway Center, 615 S. 5th St.

The ever-dependable Rockford Park District’s Supervisor of Horticulture and Natural Areas Nathan Hill said he gave away 47 swamp white oaks and 50 bur oaks on Saturday at the Trolley Station. His remaining 250 trees will be planted on park property, replacing tress that fell to the Emerald Ash Bore, as well as in Atwood Park to create some oak savannas. Hill will also give trees to the Rockford’s forestry department.

“Thanks again for another successful year,” said Hill.

With great help in 11 Rock River counties, the Rock River Trail Initiative is proud to have distributed 62,000 of those 1 million trees.

“Tell whoever was responsible, this was the best job of wrapping the trees I’ve seen in the last six years. They were all wrapped in plastic film, and will keep better before planting as a

result. Tell them, ‘Good Job!’” said Rock River Trail Initiative Council Member Dean Mathias of Rock Island.

RCCA hosts final show of season

By Anne E. O’KeefeRockford Area Arts Council

The Rockford Coronado Concert Association (RCCA) will host five artists from the Ryan Center at the Lyric

Opera of Chicago at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Coronado Performing Arts Center. The concert is the fifth and final performance in the RCCA’s 2015-16 schedule.

“The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center prepares emerging singers and apprentice coaches for careers in opera by providing unique, comprehensive training.

Established in 1974 as the professional art-ist-development program for Lyric Opera of Chi-cago, the Ryan Opera Center has been recognized as one of the premier programs of its kind in the world for more than four decades. That standing is maintained by providing the finest up-and-coming singers and pianists with unparalleled training and experience,” according to the Lyric Opera website.

The program is administered by Director Dan Novak, Music Director Craig Terry, Direc-tor of Vocal Studies Julia Faulkner, and Advisor Renée Fleming.

The RCCA is excited to bring these incredibly talented rising stars to our community.

The ensemble performing in Rockford includes Jesse Donner, second-year tenor. Donner’s studies were at the University of Michigan, where he was heard as Bacchus/Ariadne auf Naxos, title role/Der Kaiser von Atlantis, and Lucano/L’incoronazione di Poppea. The Des Moines, Iowa, native received the 2015 Men’s Voice Fellowship from the Luminarts Cultural Foundation in addition to many honors.

Mario Antonio Marra, holds a Bachelors of Music degree from New York University, where

he studied with Marilyn Nonken and collabora-tive piano with Grant Wenaus.

Richard Ollarsaba, Bass-Baritone, graduated in May 2012 and since then has been a fellow at the Tanglewood Institute where he was chosen as a soloist for the 75th Anniversary Celebration of Tanglewood that was broadcast on PBS.

Annie Rosen, Mezzo-Soprano, began her first season at the Ryan Center jumping in as Mélisande/Pelléas et Melisande in rehearsal with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen; she then “knocked the ball out of the park” (Chicago Classical Review) in her Lyric Opera company debut as Tisbe/La Ceneren-tola, conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.

Laura Wilde, Soprano, originally from Water-town, South Dakota. Wilde’s love of music began with the trumpet. While attending the prestigious Interlochen Arts Camp as a trumpet player, she discovered her classical voice and was encouraged to also pursue that musical avenue as well.

The performance will include many well-known operatic arias, along with classical, contemporary and Broadway selections. Included in the performance are pieces from Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, The Saga of Jenny from Kurt Weill’s Lady in the Dark, Somewhere Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz, All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera, pieces from Carmen and Carousel, and others.

Tickets range from $30-$40 and can be pur-chased online at coronadopac.org or by phone at 815-968-0595. Student tickets are $10. Group tickets are available by phone. For more infor-mation about the performance go to rccacon-certs.org or contact Beth Howard at [email protected] or at the Rockford Coronado Concert Association at 815-847-6314.

More MetroCentre memoriesBy Todd HoustonExclusive to TRRT

This week we continue with Part II of our interview with former Rockford MetroCen-

tre General Manager Doug Logan. We threw some names and dates at him and he was kind enough to elaborate and share what he remembered about bringing them to Rockford. Today Mr. Logan is Director of Homelessness Initiatives in Sarasota, Florida.

Opening NightThe construction work was never

completed by curtain time. We had contractors in the building until 5 p.m. the night of the show. I remember shouting out…”Get the trades out of the building… we’ll go with what we have”.

February 28, 1981 - Johnny and June Carter Cash

We had Roseanne Cash open the show. After she was done she proceed-ed to trash her dressing room [the first of many]. I got paid for the damages and got a sincere apology from the man in black.

May 9, 1981 - Judas Priest and Savoy Brown

First of several appearances by this band from Birmingham. Ironic that we always had “groupie” problems with young [very!] Rockford girls every time the band was in the building. Ironic, given Rob Halford’s sexual preferences. Even though he didn’t publicly come out until 1998, everybody in the business knew what was up. I always enjoyed dealing with them.

July 27, 1981 - StyxParadise Theater Tour. Beautiful

ballads and harmonies. Was the day I found out Ald. Denny Johnson was a contemporary music aficionado. Tommy Shaw drove to the gig in a camper from his home in northern Indiana. Had a wonderful conversa-tion with him.

October 30, 1981 - Jefferson Starship

Wild night! We had a costume

competition for Halloween and many entrants skimped on their materials. I remember the winning entry was six pallbearers carrying a coffin with a guy [and a case of Heineken] inside. I had to have a heart-to-heart with Paul Kantner about his behavior with secu-rity and the crowds. Show went great.

February 20, 1982 - Loverboy and Quarterflash

I had seen the band play in a club in Vancouver and knew I wanted them in Rockford. I made a point to have a relationship with Bruce Allen and Lou Blair and they sold me 50 percent of the Rockford date on their next tour. They forced me to share the date with Bruce Kapp [now with Live Nation] who ran Celebration Productions in Chicago. Sometime after the show went on sale Kapp pled guilty to a tick-et fraud charge at Soldier Field and was

thrown in the hoosegow. The night of the show I accepted a collect call from Cook County Jail. Bruce wanted to know how much money he made.

March 6, 1982 - PrinceBackstage was full of talent. Morris

Day and The Time Band opened, Sheena E played on the gig and everybody in the Minneapolis music scene was hanging out. Prince blew the doors off.

July 11, 1982 - Bob HopeThe show was part of the Pro-Am.

Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) opened the show. She was so nervous Ann [my wife] let her hold and play with Carter Logan [our two-week old son]. She would not give him back. I have never been a Bob Hope fan. In December of 1966 he left me and about a thousand other sick and

wounded patients for four hours on a hot tarmac at the MASH unit in Quin Nhon in South Vietnam. Once the show started they stopped it several times and asked us to laugh/applaud louder because they were making a special for US TV. We felt very used. This day I had a private occasion to get my anger off my chest. I told him how I felt. Never apologized.

July 31, 1982 - Rick SpringfieldThis was a tough date to book. He

would only play on the weekends because he was acting in the soaps during the week. I had three dates cancel on me before we finally did this one. His agent was a close friend, Bobby Brooks, who lived in Mont-clair, New Jersey, where I grew up. Sadly, Bobby died sometime later in a helicopter crash at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin, with Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I have never seen so many swooning girls/women as I saw at this show.

August 3, 1982 - Van HalenWith David Lee Roth; before Sam-

my. And, yes, the show rider asked for bowls of M&M’s with “no browns”, and we gave them to them. The Rolling Stones rider asked for all the leftover brown M&M’s from Van Halen and we gave them what they asked for. In my book one of my top 5 “high energy” performers, ever, joined by Led Zep-pelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bruno Mars and Guns N’ Roses.

Their road manager, Noel Monk, was anal about details and was para-noid about merchandise bootleggers. We built a sandbag military bunker for him on the roof of the building, complete with a sniper scope and a searchlight. The band all wanted to see it and loved it.

August 21, 1982 - Doobie BrothersOne of my favorite all-time bands.

When they began the opening chords to Long Train Running I began to cry.

February 19, 1983 - Eric Clapton and Ry Cooder

The only Midwest date for this package; I stole the date from Chicago. One of the few shows I sat for most of…I think Pat Cunningham was my guest. Two of the best to ever pick strings. I remember talking at length with Cooder about Cuba. He went on to produce and play on Buena Vista Social Club.

July 10, 1983 - George BurnsAnother Pro-Am show. It was

marvelous…like spending a week-end with a leprechaun. We built a revolving stage for him but told him he could not dance on it…it was too fragile and would break down. He assured me he would not. I spent the show at the edge of the stage apron and at a certain point he looked at me and winked and began to dance. Of course the mechanism failed to we had to rotate him manually for the rest of the show.

Eye in the Sky a thought-provoking nail-biterBy Thomas SimpsonContributor

The absurdities of war tend to be played out on the big screen with great specta-cle. There is no questioning the impact a

brilliant film like Saving Private Ryan can have, however wars are fought differently these days. Technology allows for assaults to be executed thousands of miles from the intended target. Director Gavin Hood explores modern combat in Eye in the Sky, an intense British thriller with a great cast including the late Alan Rickman’s final onscreen performance.

Colonel Katherine Powell, a no-nonsense Helen Mirren, is commanding a mission to capture high-level extremists, including two radicalized US and Britain civilians, from a vil-lage in Nairobi, Kenya. When the intelligence changes, she requests the mission objective be changed from capture to kill however the British politicians witnessing via camera feed are hesitant to authorize due to the potential negative backlash from the public. They are su-pervised by Lieutenant General Frank Benson (Alan Rickman) who is the liaison between the officials and the army. The situation becomes more conflicted when the US drone pilot,

Steve Watts (Aaron Paul), has moral objections to firing a missile that will cause certain death to a local girl Alia (Aisha Takow) who will be

caught in the blast zone.Eye in the Sky is a nail-biting thriller that had

me gripping my seat throughout. The conflict

between the characters is brilliantly frustrating as Hood focuses on the incredible ramifications that this one decision will have. Moral arguments do battle with political cowardice as Powell remains stoic and at times vengeful. She believes the end justifies the means, but as a soldier the decision is not hers alone.

The drama is contained to four separate lo-cations, Powell’s command base, Benson’s war room, Watts’ drone cockpit and Ali’s village. Despite the four actors having lead roles, none of them met during production. Their lack of onscreen presence adds an unusual chemistry, an unfamiliar absence that is necessary. In the case of Alia, she is blissfully unaware that her fate is being decided by an unknown enemy. It’s an uncomfortable detachment.

The brutality of modern combat is on show and it isn’t done with violence, it’s done by dis-cussion. Hood creates a debate that will likely split audience opinion on the right course of action. A thought provoking and nerve shredding film, Eye in the Sky is a finely-craft-ed thriller that offers excitement without extravagant set pieces.

Prime time prime viewingBy Paula HendricksonContributor

Ever since Netflix broke through with House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, a slew of new original series have

debuted on streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.

While Netflix and Hulu subscribers sign up specifically to stream shows and movies, I’ve come to realize that a staggering number of Am-azon Prime members don’t take full advantage of the streaming services available to them. Maybe they watched the Emmy-winning Transparent, but probably not much else.

As someone who doesn’t do a lot of shop-ping – online or otherwise – I used to scoff at friends and family who raved about the Prime free shipping because I would never save enough to shipping fees to offset the annual subscription fee. But I really wanted to see Transparent and some other shows, so I subscribed.

Oddly enough, the first show I watched wasn’t Transparent, it was Alpha House, a 2013-14 po-litical comedy created by Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau starring John Goodman, Matt Malloy, Mark Consuelos, and Clark Johnson as four Republican senators sharing the same house

in Washington D.C. (Senator roommates may sound strange, but that part of the show is based loosely on the long-time living arrangements of a group of Democratic senators – including Dick Durbin of Illinois.)

Why was Alpha House my first pick? It was a rare chance to see Johnson – who’s spent more time directing than acting since the end of Homicide: Life on the Street – back on screen. In

a comedy no less.The fact that we’re approaching an election

didn’t hurt, since the show milks laughs from partisan machinations that at one point leave one of the housemates asking what their party’s position is supposed to be on an issue. I was really hoping there would be a third season of Alpha House timed to our presidential election, but perhaps producers couldn’t think of ways to

satirize current events without totally jumping the shark.

Yes, Transparent is good (even if most of the characters are so self-involved you want to slap them, repeatedly). Mozart of the Jungle has won some awards, too. Bosch is based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling novels. A friend keeps telling me I have to watch The Man in the High Castle. And Mad Dogs is from producer and Rockford native Shawn Ryan.

But my current favorite is the London-set Catastrophe, which may be the unlikeliest love story ever as Irish-born Sharon and the Amer-ican Rob – played by series creators/writers Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney – quickly move from strangers to parents. Its six-episode second season debuted earlier this month, and I’m trying so hard not to binge and watch it all at once. This is a show I want to savor a bit since it could be another year before we have any new episodes.

There are even more original productions to watch, and other programs and movies, too.

If you’re already paying for Amazon Prime anyway, make sure you get your money’s worth: check out a couple of Amazon’s original shows.

An immoral threat having a big impactBy Rich MillerCapitol Fax

‘The governor has linked things togeth-er,” Senate President John Cullerton said during a speech to the City Club

of Chicago back in January. “We don’t have a budget because he’s got his ‘turnaround agenda.’ So I can link things together, too.”

Cullerton was referring to his threat to not pass any funding for K-12 schools until school funding reform is addressed. Despite being repeatedly blasted by the governor and the Senate Republi-can leader for planning to take schools “hostage” in order to “bail out” Chicago’s school system with his funding reform plan, Cullerton has not publicly backed down from his statement.

And I happen to believe that his direct and deliberate threat, perhaps more than anything else, has pushed Statehouse types to try and reach a conclusion to this long, crazy impasse.

Gov. Bruce Rauner surprised many Demo-crats last year when he vetoed the entire budget except the K-12 appropriations bill. He made sure that schools would open on time last fall, taking the potential for an extreme crisis off the table. Rauner doesn’t seem all that outwardly concerned about the carnage caused by the months-long government impasse, but he made absolutely sure to keep a K-12 shutdown from happening.

Illinoisans are quite upset about this stalemate. Many are even downright furious. But imagine the outcry if schools hadn’t opened last year. The first-year governor would’ve been roasted over a spit, and he knew it.

Rauner told reporters not long before Culler-ton made his threat that last year’s school fund-ing bill was the greatest achievement of his first year in office—even though he told Republican legislators to vote against the K-12 appropri-ations bill (probably to throw the Democrats off the scent). He has said over and over since Cullerton’s City Club address that passing his school funding bill was his top priority, and he even demanded during his budget address that it be done right away.

Usually in battles like these, you try to prevent your opponent from achieving his main goal. And since the governor has let everyone know what his main goal is, it naturally became a target.

Cullerton faithfully reads newspaper editorials

and other commentary and oftentimes lets the criticism get under his skin. So there’s naturally a whole bunch of suspicion out there that he won’t follow through or will eventually relent under extreme duress.

But the chance that Cullerton might not cave is most certainly helping to push this thing toward a conclusion. Rauner has essentially admitted mul-tiple times with deeds and words that not passing the K-12 appropriations bill would lead to an utter catastrophe. And keep in mind that he has moved off the dime just about every time he’s been faced with a calamity that Republican legislators wanted to avoid.

So, while it may be downright wrong to threat-en school kids, teachers and parents this way (and it is wrong, to the point of immorality), somebody had to do something to advance the ball.

The General Assembly almost always waits until things hit a crisis point before it resolves a controversial issue. Pension reforms, numerous tax hikes, medical malpractice reform, etc., etc., etc., all had to wait until the need for them was so great that legislators had no choice but to act.

Obviously, there would be no greater crisis than the absence of K-12 funding, and there has never been any greater controversy in this state than this standoff.

Frankly speaking, if threatening to close down the state’s entire public education system doesn’t work, then nothing will. They’ll be arguing over a burned-out hollow shell of a state.

Cullerton has taken a carrot-and-stick approach. The stick is his K-12 threat. The carrot is the encouragement and assistance he’s offered rank-and-file legislators who have been attempt-

ing to privately find an end to this insanity. While other caucuses and the governor’s office now have staff helping out and are even talking with each other, Cullerton has been generous with his staff for quite a while now, deploying them to help work out issues.

Speaker Madigan, meanwhile, was not at all encouraging of the rank-and-file talks. But allowing his staff to work with those members and to also talk with the other staffs is a hopeful sign to many.

Another encouraging sign is that Rauner’s chief of staff has participated in some of the rank-and-file meetings, as has Rauner’s chief legislative liaison and his budget director. That’s important because, obviously, nothing is going to get done without the governor’s agreement.

Commentary


One company spurred the opioid epidemicBy Dr. Richard GundermanTheConversation.com

What do conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, singer Courtney Love and deceased actor Heath Led-

ger all have in common? The answer, according to published reports, is that all battled addiction to OxyContin, an opioid pain reliever now sometimes called “rich man’s heroin” but known on the street simply as “Killer.”

The sources of the opioid epidemic are complex, but one powerful motivator has been the pursuit of profit. Purdue Pharma, which calls itself a “pioneer in developing medications for reducing pain, a principal cause of human suffer-ing,” is the producer of OxyContin, a timed-re-lease formulation of oxycodone, an opioid pain reliever.

OxyContin, like other prescription opioids such as hydrocodone, has become far more commonly prescribed over the past few decades. Today enough opioid prescriptions are written each year in the U.S. to give every adult American his or her own one-month supply.

A family firm creates a new pain drug

Purdue Pharma was founded in the late 19th century in New York City, and the firm was purchased in the by the Sackler brothers, three physicians. Some years later, the firm began producing opioid pain relievers.

One of the Sackler brothers, Arthur, who died in 1987, had been inducted into the Medical Advertising Hall of Fame for his promotional work in helping Valium to become the first $100 million drug.

In 1996 Purdue Pharma introduced a new drug – a time-released formulation of oxyco-done, an opioid painkiller. OyxContin, as the drug was called, was touted as having a low risk of addiction.

Purdue backed OxyContin with an aggres-sive marketing campaign. Key components of this effort were pain-management and speak-er-training conferences in sunshine states such as California and Florida, attended by more than 5,000 physicians, nurses and pharmacists, many of whom were recruited to serve on Purdue’s speakers’ bureau.

The company also used a bonus system to incentivize its pharmaceutical representatives to increase OxyContin sales. The average bonus exceeded the representatives’ annual salaries.

Of course, Purdue was not alone in market-ing its pain-relieving products in this way. The Oregon assistant attorney general, for example, described the practices of Insys Therapeutics in marketing its oral spray painkiller as “among the most unconscionable I’ve seen.”

A sea change in pain treatment

These efforts succeeded spectacularly. Ac-cording to a 2009 article in the American Journal of Public Health, OxyContin prescriptions for non-cancer-related pain went from about 670,000 in 1997 to about 6.2 million by 2002.

This is partly due to Purdue Pharma’s aggres-sive marketing of OxyContin. But pain treatment in the U.S. was also changing at this time.

Starting in the early and mid-1990s, a small group of physicians, some receiving funding from drug firms, began arguing that the medical profession had been systematically undertreating pain, motivated by erroneous concerns about addiction. They lobbied to have pain recognized as the “fifth vital sign,” and urged physicians to be more liberal in their prescribing of opioids. Some of these physicians were associated with profes-sional associations focused on treating pain.

Undoubtedly, there were patients with undertreated pain who benefited from these campaigns.

In 2000 the Joint Commission, the organi-zation that accredits hospitals, began requiring health care organizations to prove that they were assessing and treating pain. This led to a more liberal approach for prescribing painkillers like OxyContin, but other opioids were also involved.

OxyContin prescriptions grow and grow

In 2001, Purdue spent $200 million marketing

Oxycontin, and by 2002 sales topped the $1.5 bil-lion mark. In 2012 OxyContin represented about 30 percent of the overall painkiller market.

Between 1991 and 2013, the number of annual opioid prescriptions in the U.S. increased from 76 million to 207 million, with corresponding increases in the number of cases of addiction, overdose and death.

As the numbers of cases of addiction, overdose and death mounted, the Department of Justice took notice, and charged Purdue with misbrand-ing the drug’s abuse potential. In 2007, Purdue pleaded guilty and paid over $600 million in fines. Three company executives also pleaded guilty to criminal charges of misbranding the drug’s risk of abuse and addiction.

In 2010 Purdue Pharma released a new for-mulation of OxyContin with an abuse-deterrent mechanism that is harder to crush or dissolve. The original formulation was withdrawn from sale, and in 2013, when OxyContin’s patent was set to expire, the FDA refused to approve generic versions of the original formulation.

Now STAT NEWS, a news website focused on health and medicine, is suing Purdue Pharma to unseal records about what its executives knew about the drug’s addiction potential and whether they intentionally downplayed it.

The president’s plan to curb the epidemic

The introduction of one drug, OxyContin, helped to spark the epidemic, but solving it is

going to be much more complicated.It is estimated that nearly two million Amer-

icans are addicted to prescription pain relievers, and drug overdose has become the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S., exceeding motor vehicle accidents.

In the first decade of this century, the overdose death rate increased nearly four times, with admissions to addiction treatment programs up six times over the same time period. Prescription opioids now kill more Americans every year than illegal ones.

According to the American Society of Ad-diction Medicine, four in five new heroin users started out by misusing prescription painkill-ers, and 94 percent of opioid-addicted patients said that they switched to heroin because prescription opioids were more expensive and harder to obtain.

This secondary epidemic of illicit drug use is a new public health challenge that is hitting small towns and rural areas particularly hard.

President Obama’s efforts to combat opioid abuse are attracting broad, bipartisan support. Over 60 medical schools, including my own, have recently announced that they will include new federal prescribing guidelines in their curricula.

Leaders of all stripes are recognizing that to successfully prosecute the war on drugs, attention needs to shift stateside, to pharmaceu-tical companies, hospitals and physicians. Legal opioids prescribed by physicians have proved far more dangerous than the illicit ones.


Your HoroscopeBy Denise GuzzardoWeek of April 20-26, 2016

This Week: The full moon on April 22 in Scorpio may emphasize accident-prone behavior or emotional flare ups, with that said please be cautious on or around this

time frame. Mercury retrograde arrives on April 28 and departs on May 22, so be prepared and allow plenty of time to get from point A to point B. Check and double check emails and voicemails, back up your computer and be cautious during travel. However; it can break up the monotony of a long-standing problem or open doors that appeared to be permanently closed. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — An expan-sion with clientele or career has you feeling on top of your game at this time. A recent connec-tion has been singing your praises. Those that trust and follow their judgment are interested in the gifts that you provide. Put your best foot forward now, all eyes are on you. Do not let an aggravating mother figure or sibling get you all wound up at this time. Peace at all costs, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20) — An individ-ual you ran into recently provided you with a glimpse of what could be as apposed to what your current situation is. Hashing or recycling past relationships will only present you with the same results. Break the spell of what could have been that’s ingrained in your mind and look forward to what could be, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A bright spot arrives midweek when an old flame or friendship, that has been out of the picture for a while now, resurfaces. Make connections and set time aside to get together with these individuals. You will receive positive news from long distance as well. An offer to travel will be on the table at this time. Go for it Gemini, you need a break.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Make time for yourself this week no matter what demands others may try to impose on you. Regardless of what a relationship may appear to be with a past love or friendship, the truth is totally opposite. If you can’t get to the bottom of this then leave it be for good. You have way too many positive aspects going on right now to allow this old stuff to shake you up. New friends and acquaintances bring positive connections now, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — You may be reading too much into the actions or reactions of another during this time frame. Try to focus on your own goals or ambitions during this lunar cycle instead. The upcoming astrolog-ical climate provides you with a tremendous amount of support financially as well as roman-tically. Go for it, Leo.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You may not have been amused by the repeated insan-

ity around you, but don’t take it personal. Try to see the humor in this reoccurring aspect. This has nothing to do with you even though it is surrounding you, look for the moral of the story within this dynamic. Midweek arrives with new business contacts so you’ll want to be presenting yourself in the best possible light. All eyes are on you at this time, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Out of the blue you feel relieved and loved and you’re willing to accept these aspects without dissecting them down to the size of a flea. You have sisters and brothers and loved ones that might not even fall into the old biological family tree. However, you’re able to recognize the connection and are willing to allow these aspects to follow through with your life. The weekend promises some mixed blessings of love and healing. Accept those around you that are in this for the long haul, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — This will prove to be one of the most productive weeks that you have experienced in a long time. Friends, family and sporting activities have you presenting yourself in the best possible light. Make sure you have allowed time for an intimate gathering with food and great conver-sation. This is definitely a learning experience at this time, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Finances will continue to improve during this lunar cycle with a strong emphasis surrounding the full moon weekend April 22. Try not to worry if your week starts out slow, this is the universe

providing you with a little down time to rest and recuperate before the next surge of activity. If you have been avoiding romantic opportuni-ties it’s time to become actively involved, Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — It’s time to expand your social circles and this is the week to get out and about. Someone who has been checking you out will approach you with some nervous small talk. Try your best to allow them to feel comfortable. You will be amazed at how much you have in common. This energy may also affect your career sector and provide you with a new workplace for the better. Synchronicity is key here at this time. Go for it, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Envy doesn’t look very good on you, so the cosmos suggests you take it off and donate it to the Goodwill. If you’re having a problem with the success of another, ask yourself what you can do to improve the quality of your life. You have a lot to offer and there is no time like the present to embrace that quality, as well as share it with the rest of the class, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Your recent connection with family may have left you feeling a bit melancholy at this time. Try not to worry, expect good things to come for these loved ones you hold in high regard. The examples you have provided for those that are younger or less knowledgeable than you have created quite a stir. You are a big breath of fresh air at this time, Pisces.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as fulla life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupationaltherapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs.

Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep aperson ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strongPT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay.Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly

bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance,work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain theability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she enteredthe hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says,keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possibleis entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulatesbone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotescirculation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability.

Without PT and OT our individuals healthwould deteriorate at a more rapid rate,according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis,constipation and contracture of muscles and

fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere withour ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline.Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individualshave is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But inorder to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to airpressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushionsand walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with

gravity, the standers help stimulate bonegrowth and helps maintain bone strength. Thestraightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also helpan Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for betterpersonal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The changein perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brainactivity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills.

Our current standers are over 20 years old and we needadditional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at(815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donationfor this program.

Natural Remedies for Gastrointestinal Issues

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D.I do not watch TV very often but a couple

of weeks ago on a Sunday I was finishing up my taxes and had the TV on all day. I could not believe that within the 6-to-8 hours that I was doing my taxes I literally saw over 20 commercials about prescription drugs and the most common was gastrointestinal issues. I had to laugh for I as a Naturopathic Doctor who specializes in colon hydro-therapy 75 percent of these commercials were about IBS and now there is a new disease called IBS-D. If you do not know what this is it is Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea. Of course you would have diarrhea with I.B.S for the colon is irritated and inflamed. There were so many new drugs now and every day a new drug is created and then of course a new disease is created. When I was in nursing some 50 years ago, a PDR book you could hold in one hand. Now it takes two hands to hold a PDR book. So here is a look at these drugs.

ViberziViberzi works directly in your intestines to

slow the movement of food during digestion. As a Naturopathic Doctor we suggest enzymes to slow down the movement of food during digestion not a drug. Viberzi is used to treat irritable bowel syndrome when the main symptom is diarrhea. As a Naturopathic Doctor Diarrhea is a sign that you are eating foods that you are allergic to and not digesting so I work with you on food allergies not a medication. You are advised to tell your healthcare professional if you are experiencing:

•severe constipation or a blockage in your intestines;

•a history of gallbladder issues•digestive problems caused by a muscle

valve called the sphincter•severe liver disease;•a pancreas disorder•a habit of drinking more than 3 alcoholic

beverages per day•you have liver disease•your gallbladder has been removed.Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan

to become pregnant for it is not known if Viberzi will harm your unborn child and it is not known if Viberzi will pass into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Viberzi is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.

LinzessThe next drug that is the wonder drug for

I.B.S is Linzess. What is so interesting about this drug is that it causes diarrhea. So you have Linzess that is for I.B.S but one of the major side effects is diarrhea and then you need Viberzi the drug that is for I.B.S -D to stop your diarrhea. Interesting now I see why the pharmaceutical company had to make a drug to stop diarrhea since one medication causes diarrhea. Makes sense.

LINZESS can cause serious side effects, including diarrhea, the most common side effect, which can sometimes be severe. Diarrhea often begins within the first 2 weeks of LINZESS treatment. Stop taking LINZESS and call your doctor right away if you get severe diarrhea during treatment with LINZESS. Other common side effects include:

•Gas•Belly (abdominal) pain•Swelling•Feeling of fullness or pressure in your

abdomen (distension)Well this looks like the same issue that I see

as a Naturopathic Doctor and a colon hydro-therapist. Eating foods that you are allergic too and not enough enzymes to break your foods down. Linzess goes on to tell you that you need to tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or does not go away and go to the emergency room or call your doctor if you develop unusual or severe stomach-area (abdominal) pain, especially if you have bloody or black stools.

As a Naturopathic Doctor I encourage my clients to cleanse their bowels to activate their body’s self-healing process. By eating a diet that is high in greens, raw vegetables and fruit, incorporating organic proteins, eating good quality fats, limiting your carbohydrates, adding digestive enzymes to ensure that you are breaking your foods down and adding a probiotic to get the good bacteria in your intestine.

Julia Michniewicz is a Naturopathic Doctor who is celebrating her 17th year cancer free by not doing the chemical therapy and radiation. If she can help you with your health issues please feel free to call her office at 815-962-3326. Like us on Facebook at JULIA’s PLACE.

Growing horseradish in the backyard can be quite an easy task as those who have grown it pre-viously know. It remains a very cold hardy plant for the region. With its spicy-heat, it is a great ingredient to be added to a number of dishes.

Illinois grows the most horseradish of any state with production primarily located outside of St Louis. In this area known as American Bottom, horseradish is grown as an annual each year. While it can be grown as an annual, you might want to treat it more like a perennial especially as overtime it can expand quite well during the growing season. It looks like a carrot but produces long leaves that will be 10 inches across. Usually 2-to-3 plants are enough for a family.

Much of the horseradish available on the market to grow is a type III. You’ll find horseradish sets that contain 2-to-3 plants which should be enough for a family. The plant should be planted vertically in the soil and fully covered. You may also want to add a couple inches more of coverage.

For instance, if you’ve got a horseradish plant that is four inches, plant this at a depth of six inches. Horseradish should be spaced at 12 inches between plants and between row. While this spacing may seem too large, keep in mind that the horseradish will spread out. Horseradish may develop flowers in the sea-son. There is no consensus as to whether these should be removed or not.

During the growing season, your horse-radish will continue to expand its rhizome, producing additional roots from the center of the plant. In mid-summer, you might “lift” the edges of the rhizome just slightly on both sides of the plant. This action will allow for better growth of horseradish.

Horseradish harvest will occur in the fall after a number of hard frosts. Leaves will die back and horseradish roots can be harvested from the edge of the plant into the center. You can harvest until the soil has frozen. Any that are pencil size in width can be replanted.

Next week I’ll be covering our final peren-nial spring vegetable, asparagus.

Implications of corn and soybean planting progressBy Debra Levey LarsonU of I News Bureau

URBANA – Each spring the corn and soybean markets react to the pace of planting, reflecting expectations that an unusually fast or slow pace of planting may affect acreage decisions and/or yields. According to a University of Illinois agricultural economist, recent and current large rainfall totals in the Delta and Plains states and forecasts for a stormier pattern in the Corn Belt have triggered the annual discussion of the production implications of corn and soybean planting progress.

“The definition of what constitutes early or late planting varies by geographic region and has likely changed over time,” says Darrel Good. “Character-izing planting progress on a national basis, then, is somewhat complicated.”

Referring to the topic previously argued in Mar-keting & Outlook Briefs (June 2009 and July 2009), Good points out that for the period from 1986 forward, planting in the major producing states that occurs after May 20 for corn and after May 30 for soybeans should be considered late in terms of the potential impact on national average yields.

“Using our definition, the portion of the crops planted late over the past 30 years ranged from 4 percent (2012) to 47 percent (1995) for corn and 9 percent (2012) to 65 percent (1990) for soybeans. The historical record might provide some indication of the potential impact on acreage and yields in subsequent years of unusually small or large percentages of the crops that are planted late,” Good says. “For the 10 years since 1986 with the smallest and largest percentages of the crops planted late, we examine how the final estimate of planted acreage differed from intentions reported in the USDA’s March Prospective Plantings report and how the national average yield differed from the trend yield calculation for that year.”

Good notes that for corn, the 11 years when the smallest portion of the crop was planted late are considered because there is a tie for 10th place.

“Not surprisingly, deviations in planted acreage from intentions in years of extreme planting prog-ress demonstrated a mixed pattern,” Good says.

In years when the smallest percentage of the crop was planted late, corn planted acreage exceeded in-tentions in eight years and was less than intentions in only three years. Deviations from planting inten-tions ranged from -1.9 million acres to 3.1 million acres and averaged 513,000 acres. In three of the eight years that corn acreage exceeded intentions, soybean acreage also exceeded intentions.

In the 10 years when the smallest percentage of the soybean crop was planted late, planted acreage exceeded intentions in five of the years and was less than intentions in five of the years. The deviation from intentions ranged from -2.4 million acres to 3.3 million acres and averaged 114,000 acres.

In the 10 years when the largest percentage of the corn acreage was planted late, planted acreage was less than intentions in eight years and exceeded intentions in two years. Deviations from planting intentions ranged from -3.8 million acres to 1.9 million acres and averaged 513,000 acres.

In the 10 years when the largest percentage of the soybean acreage was planted late, planted acreage was less than intentions in five years and exceeded intentions in five years. Deviations from planting intentions ranged from -1.6 million acres to 2.1 million acres and averaged 65,000 acres.

In years when the smallest percentage of the crops were planted late, the national average yield exceeded trend value in 7 of 11 years for corn and 7 of 10 years for soybeans. Yields ranged from 33.8 bushels below trend to 18 bushels above trend for corn and 6.6 bushels below trend to 5.4 bushels above trend for soybeans. Overall, average yields were 1.4 bushels below trend for corn and 0.6 bushels above trend for soybeans.

In years when the largest percentage of the crops were planted late, the national average yield fell below trend value in 6 of 10 years for corn and in 7 of 10 years for soybeans. Yields ranged from 21.6 bushels below trend to 12.9 bushels above trend for corn, and 3.0 bushels below trend to 0.8 bushels above trend for soybeans. For the 10 years, the average yields were 2.4 bushels below trend for corn and 0.7 bushels below trend for soybeans.

According to Good, it is not yet known whether a

relatively large or small percentage of the 2016 corn and soybean crops will be planted late. The USDA’s Crop Progress report indicated that 4 percent of the corn acreage had been planted as of April 10, equal to the previous five-year average pace.

“Producers still have more than a month to plant corn and six weeks to plant soybeans before plant-ing would be considered late by our definition,” Good says. “The current concern is about the po-tential delay in corn planting. If planting becomes unusually late, the corn market will likely begin to reflect expectations for fewer acres than intended and a risk of the average yield falling below trend.

“Observations since 1986 suggest that there is a tendency for corn acreage to exceed intentions in years when a small percentage of the crop is planted

late and for acreage to fall short of intentions when a large percentage of the crop is planted late,” Good con-cludes. “However, the large variation in the direction and magnitude of acreage deviations from intentions makes it difficult to form expectations for 2016.

Deviations in planted acreage of soybeans from intentions have shown no clear pattern based on the lateness of planting. There has also been a tendency for the national average corn and soybean yields to fall below trend value in years when a large per-centage of the crop was planted late. The variation in the direction and magnitude of deviation is an indication that the effect of planting date on yield is dominated by the yield impact of summer weather. Markets should be more focused on growing season weather prospects than on planting progress.”

Panama Papers: how do leakers leak?By Karuna Pande JoshiTheConversation.com

The leak of 11 million confidential doc-uments (in about 2.6 terabytes of data) from the Panamanian law firm Mossack,

Fonseca and Co. has been credited by some media outlets to a whistle-blower who wants to remain anonymous. Others have suggested it came from an attack by hackers.

If it was a whistle-blower, then like the Snowden leaks, the Manning leaks and even back to the Pentagon Papers leak in 1971, this incident once again underlines the dominance of insiders as the primary source of attacks on orga-nizations’ critical and sensitive data sets. Orga-nizations spend significant resources to firewall their data against attack by external hackers and cybercriminals. However, they have to often face the dichotomy of effectively preventing leaks of data by the very employees who need to use it for their daily work.

Often companies do not have adequate strategies to ensure data protection from in-sider threats. They are particularly vulnerable to people who have access to critical informa-tion, and violate the trust of their organization by sharing the data with media outlets or posting it on the Internet. These leaks can damage a company’s income and reputation. But how do they actually happen?

The legal, social and ethical issues of leaking are continually under discussion. But as a researcher of cybersecurity, I am most interested in how exactly these breaches are carried out.

How much data, really?The first question that comes to mind is how

such a large amount of data can be stolen. The Panama Papers leak is vastly more data than many previous leaks. And indeed, the journalists who received the data took more than a year to review it all.

But in computer terms it really isn’t very big.

That amount of information can be stored in any standard hard drive available in the market today for around US$100. Portable USB thumb drives storing 1 terabyte (TB) of data are also readily available on the market. So a potential whistle-blower could save 2.6 TB of data on a couple of encrypted hard drives or USB keys and drop it in the mail to journalists.

Worse, from the perspective of securi-ty-minded companies (and better, in the view of potential leakers), is the increasing capacity of smartphones. Devices with 128 GB of memory will soon be the norm, approaching the hard drive capacity of average laptops.

Anonymous sharingWhistle-blowers want to share their data

anonymously, so it cannot be traced back to them. They often use technologies like Tor, a distributed network of volunteer-run com-puters all around the world that enables users

to set up anonymous encrypted channels of communication with either helpers or recipi-ents of information.

Enforcement agencies cannot determine a Tor user’s browsing history or location. Users can delete any records their computers may keep from covert communications. This does require the whistle-blower to be conversant with the right technological solutions to be able to cover their tracks.

Preventing and detecting leaks

It is technically possible to prevent many leaks. Computer systems can be configured to prevent important documents from being print-ed, moved or copied – either as entire files or by a person who opens the document and copies and pastes the content into another file. Data can be encrypted so it can only be decoded on a single particular machine. Systems can be set to

disable network connections when working with certain files, preventing them from being shared electronically.

But so severely restricting access to a docu-ment would make it very difficult to work with – especially if a file had multiple legitimate authors collaborating. Such a file would be effectively unusable: either employees would not use those systems or would find ways around the safeguards. Moreover, even those limits cannot ensure prevention of all leaks, because it is difficult to imagine all channels through which information may leak, espe-cially covert channels.

Short of daily frisking every employee for unauthorized electronic devices, it is difficult to prevent breaches by a determined insider. Banning or limiting employees’ use of their personal phones would be largely impractical, and could hinder employee performance. Scanning every phone would be arduous. In any case, many companies give insiders permission to access private data and store it on their personal devices.

In today’s world, where employees often collaborate on documents and use shared data sets to complete their work, it is impossible to prevent an insider attack. Even logging every action on every file could serve as a deterrent, but there would still be no guarantee that it could reveal the identity of a culprit.

To determine when the next insider attack will occur, we likely need to look to the discipline of behavioral science, which is addressing this problem by attempting to identify people who might be leakers, rather than trying to restrict access to data or detect its duplication.

Whoever purloined the data behind the Panama Papers made a big impact but did not need to have any particularly deep technical skills. And whether that person was an insider or not, it’s clear that there are few technical fixes – and that more disclosures of this type are increasingly likely.

The Rockford IceHogs finished the regular season in style as they dispatched two di-vision rivals at home this past weekend.

On Friday, the IceHogs shut out the Grand Rapids Griffins by a score of 4-0, giving Mac Carruth his second shutout of the season, stopping 31 shots.

Nick Mattson started off the scoring for Rock-ford with his first professional goal 11:17 into the opening frame.

After a scoreless second period, Rockford erupted for three goals in the first five minutes of the final frame to take a commanding 4-0 lead. Ville Pokka tacked on his tenth goal of the season just 28 seconds into the period off a big rebound from a Vince Hinostroza shot.

Tanner Kero, who had the secondary assist on the Pokka goal, scored his 20th of the season at the 3:25 mark, and Mark McNeill capped the scoring with his team-leading 23rd at 4:27 with a power play marker.

The following night, Rockford hosted the Divi-sion-winning Milwaukee Admirals, who just had their 13-game point streak snapped the previous evening by the San Diego Gulls. Rockford put away a total of

six goals before Milwaukee scored late to break up Carruth’s shutout and end his shutout streak at over 100 minutes.

Hinostroza opened up the scoring 5:21 into the game with his 17th of the season, assisted by Kero and Kiril Gotovets.

Jonathan Carlsson scored his second of the campaign 12:57 of the first, assisted by Hinos-troza and Robin Norell, who earned his second professional point.

McNeill closed the first period scoring with a power play marker at 15:06. Giving Rockford a commanding 3-0 lead while holding a 12-6 shots on goal advantage.

Chris DeSousa finished his first profes-sional season with seven goals, scoring his final marker at 10:23 of the second frame. The goal, a cleanup from a Tyler Motte shot, put Rockford ahead 4-0.

Rockford continued to pour it on in the third with two goals in a span of 10 seconds.

Ryan Hartman tallied the first at 3:21 and Mc-Neill earned his second of the game at 3:31.

Max Gortz broke Carruth’s bid for a shutout with 13:01 remaining to play to cut the score to 6-1.

Rockford would reclaim that six-goal lead when Hinostroza finished off the scoring with a power play tally at 17:37, sealing a commanding 7-1 win, and giving Rockford the edge in the season series against Milwaukee, 6-2-3-1.

The win by Rockford also moved them ahead of the Grand Rapids Griffins, giving them third place in the standings. With that win, Rockford will now face the Lake Erie Monsters in the first round, with games one and two taking place at the BMO Harris Bank Center, and games three through five, if needed, at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

Game one will take place at the BMO in Rockford tonight with game two taking place tomorrow night.

The series will shift to Lake Erie where the series winner will eventually be crowned. Game three is on Saturday with games four and five, if necessary, taking place next Monday and Thursday.

The season series between Rockford and Lake Erie had the home team winning every game – Rockford won the first meeting back on Sunday, November 22, 3-1. Rockford held a 1-0 lead into the third period, and Jake Dowell scored shorthanded

early in the third to go up 2-0. Lake Erie cut the lead in half a few minutes later, and Hartman scored an empty net goal to seal the win.

Rockford won the next game on January 18 by another 3-1 margin. Once again, Rockford held the Monsters scoreless until the third period, and sealed the game with an empty net tally.

February 26 and 27, Lake Erie won both games – a 5-4 win on the February 26 and an overtime win the following night, 3-2.

A few days later, Rockford won two straight on March 5 and 6, 5-0 and 2-1.

The Monsters won the last two of the series, 4-2 and 5-1 back on march 24 and March 25, to keep the season series even, both with Rockford earning one more point due to the overtime loss.

For stats, the Monsters will come into the first round with the 17th ranked power play unit, compared to Rockford’s 27th ranked unit. The penalty kill has Lake Erie fifth and Rockford ranked 18th.

It appears Rockford is mostly health, as Hartman and Gotovets returned to the lineup for Rockford, although it appears P.C. Labrie will miss the start of the playoffs with a lower body injury.

The Chicago Blackhawks find themselves facing a 2-1 deficit after the first three games of their first-round playoff match-

up with the St. Louis Blues. The Blackhawks have done a lot of things well in these first three games, but it’s their shortcomings that have truly stuck out early in these playoffs.

The most notable shortcoming thus far has been the Blackhawks lack of offensive contribu-tion from the blue line. Duncan Keith’s return to the lineup in Game 2 after missing Game 1 due to suspension was an extremely welcome one, and one that was felt immediately. Keith scored Chicago’s first goal of Game 2, which was also their first goal of the series.

Aside from Keith, however, none of the Blackhawks defensemen have been able to make any significant positive impact on this series thus far. Brent Seabrook scored a power-play goal in Game 3, but then proceeded to undo any positivity that might have added with his abysmal play with the puck in his own zone as that game wound down.

Worse than Seabrook was Viktor Svedberg, who somehow managed to log more penalty minutes (PIM) than minutes on the ice in Game 3, as well as more PIM than he logged in 43 games this season. His Game 3 performance was by far the worst we’ve seen from any player in this series for either team.

However, he does not deserve all of the blame for his poor performance in Game 3, because in all reality he probably should not have been in the lineup to begin with. Joel Quenneville’s lineup decisions in this series have been questionable, to say the least.

Playing Brandon Mashinter instead of one of

Richard Panik or Dale Weise in Game 1 of the series was indefensible. Mashinter’s presence in the lineup was likely due to the fact that the Blues play a much more physical style than the Blackhawks. However, placing a physical player

like Mashinter in the lineup in hopes of deterring that is simply unwise, and truthfully does not make much sense.

Within the Blackhawks fast-paced style of play, Mashinter’s presence is actually a major detriment to the lineup. He completely derailed the third line in Game 1, and the argument could be made that Teuvo Teravainen’s struggles in this series trace back to having to drag Mashinter around for Game 1.

Still, the Blackhawks are not out of this series.

Over the past few seasons, they have typically done their struggling in the first three games of a playoff series and closed out those sets in Games 4-7.

If the Blackhawks pulled off a win in Tuesday night’s late game, they should have no problem winning this series in six as I predicted last week. However, if the Blues grabbed a 3-1 lead this series could very well be bound for a Game 7.
