Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: How do you want to be remembered?

Several years ago, my father stood with head bowed at a graveside funeral service. As the minister spoke, Dad began reading tombstones immediately nearby. One caught his eye. Just below the birth and death dates were three words: “He grew peaches.” What a revelation, he thought. A man’s entire career summed up in one single phrase. Dad said it made him think about how many notable people get remembered for one thing only. What comes to mind when you think […]

Minnesota legislature passes major protections for the elderly

Two weeks ago, Minnesota’s state legislature passed one of the most comprehensive bills to address elderly protections in generations. The 168-page law addressed a variety of different issues that had been plaguing Minnesota’s elderly community. Arguably the most significant aspect of elderly care in Minnesota that the Elder Care and Vulnerable Adult Protection Act of 2019 changed was that the licensures for assisted-living facilities. The new bill mandates that all assisted-living facilities that serve the elderly must be licensed by […]

OP-ED: Illinois population decline should be a wake-up call

Illinoisans have been hearing their state is shrinking for five years now. But new figures released Thursday say something they’ve never heard. From Walla Walla to Waco, there are 383 metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, across the country. Illinois is home base for 10 of them. From July 2017 to July 2018, all 10 shrank. That’s never happened before. And many other figures from the new release are disturbing. No other state in the lower 48 saw all of its […]

The critical failure of political parties

However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. – George Washington We as Americans often look back to our Founding Fathers for guidance when grappling with […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Moving day

Many of us consider moving days stressful. Moves scared me so much I bought a book on getting organized…but then I lost it. But here’s what I remember about changing locations. First, throw away stuff you don’t need, like old gum wrappers, telephone books before 1999 and dead bugs. Keep important things like the TV, the DVD player and that autographed photo from the mud-wrestling championships. Next, sort your papers. For instance, school papers go in one pile. Bills and […]

Is it too late for small-town America?

The image of small-town America is the backbone of a lot of popular American culture, take the anthems of Bruce Springsteen, celebrating the blue-collar worker. But, much like the songs penned by The Boss himself, small-town America holds a stark undertone. And now, the image of small-town America appears to be dwindling. Naming no names (President Trump), but the ideals that small-town America propagated have appeared to bite the dust. As such, is small-town America gone for good? And can […]

COMMENTARY: You DO NOT have to play basketball in Illinois to succeed in pro basketball

I usually like reading sports commentaries from the Decatur Herald & Review's Mark Tupper. The most recent piece, titled "Illinois' value could soar with some success", goes through the struggles the Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has had under basketball coach Brad Underwood. In two years with Underwood at the helm, the Fighting Illini are 26-39 and 11-27 in Big Ten Conference action (as of publication). Combined with the final three years of John Groce, the team […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Senior rings

I’ll never forget the day senior rings arrived. If somebody hadn’t locked me in a toilet stall, I’d have been first in line. If you ask random people whatever became of their senior rings, my guess is they’d say things like… “I don’t know. Have you seen it?” “I wore it until I was 63.” “I gave it to my old girlfriend, who gave it to her new boyfriend.” Did you ever wonder how the senior ring tradition started? Me […]

COMMENTARY: It’s time for Illinois’ election laws to be reformed for the better

I have been quite vocal about reform election law reform for quite some time on social media. Actually, it's been more prevalent since the beginning of the 2018 election cycle: Attempts to reform the state's election code of laws have been made since 2013 by state Sen. Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) in the form of Senate Bill 1624, which called for the elimination of the "ballot access multiplier", which requires independent and new party candidates to collect, depending on political […]
