Shamed ex-doctor sentenced to 9 more years in prison By Jim Hagerty Reporter
ROCKFORD - Charles S. DeHeaan, the former Rockford-area doctor already serving time in federal prison for Medicare fraud, was sentenced Friday to nine years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for aggravated battery. DeHaan, 64, addressed Judge John Lowry before sentencing and apologized for inappropriately touching three women while he was supposed to be treating medically. He appeared thin, pale and spoke softly, indicative of heart and brain issues that caused him to suffer a stroke last fall. “I take responsibility for this,” DeHaan said. “I am sorry for the harm that I have caused my patients – the ones I have pled to. I am sorry for my family, who is suffering greatly through this. It breaks my heart, so I take responsibility for what they are going trough as well.” DeHaan was initially charged with more than a dozen counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault. Those charges were later reduced to three counts of aggravated battery to victims older than 60 as part of a plea agreement last August. Deputy State’s Attorney Pamela Wells did not recommend a specific sentence but told the court he deserved a “significant” term behind bars, noting that a total of 15 women, some now deceased, reported that the doctor who specialized in house calls fondled their breasts, exposed himself, masturbated and performed sex acts on them during those visits. On one occasion, Wells said, DeHaan ignored a lump on a victim’s breast which later resulted in a cancer diagnosis and mastectomy. “These were not medical examinations,” Wells said.
DeHaan’s wife and daughter asked Lowry for leniency, saying that while he will never practice medicine again and has “lost everything,” he’s a changed man. He remains a source of support for his children, grandchildren and other inmates at Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago, where he’s serving nine years in the Medicare case. DeHaan also has a large support network at his local church. Although Wells acknowledged that many people support DeHaan, they haven’t been exposed to the side of him his victims knew. His shows one side to his family and friends, she said, but is another person behind closed doors. “This is a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” Wells said, adding that the community must be protected from DeHaan after he’s released from federal custody. “Given the opportunity to have a vulnerable victim in his clenches again, he would reoffend.” Defense attorneys, Melinda Jacobson and Aaron Buscemi, said given his age and the progress he’s making in federal custody, DeHaan deserves probation. He’s different than he was six years ago, Jacobson said. He’s a humble man with a renewed purpose. “Dr. Charles DeHaan lost everything,” Jacobson said. “What he has not lost is his faith and his passion to help others.” The judge, however, agreed with the state, calling the ex-doctor a manipulative criminal and predator. “Your supporters simply did not see that side of you,” Lowry said. “Your ability to set aside your honorable character and engage in these types of criminal activities makes you a danger to the community. “...Our community needs to be protected from you.”
The state sentence will be served consecutively, meaning it will begin after DeHaan is released from federal prison in 2025, when he’s 70. DeHaan’s lawyers, who are expected to file a motion for reconsideration, said a prison stay beyond what he’s already serving would deprive him of proper medical treatment, something he said he did not receive when he suffered a stroke in November 2018. DeHaan said while he was having the brain attack, he was brought back to his bunk and left unattended for 15 hours before being admitted to a hospital. Lowry said more time in prison would not negatively affect DeHaan’s health. “The defendant’s ongoing medical concerns have been managed while incarcerated and can be managed while incarcerated,” the judge said. “The court finds that imprisonment would not endanger his physical medical condition.” Lowry said DeHaan’s potential for rehabilitation and declining health do not outweigh the gravity of his conduct and that a sentence of probation would deprecate the seriousness of the offenses. “The defendant preyed on highly vulnerable victims,” he said. “He touched, fondled and groped them to satisfy his own personal perverted desires.” DeHaan was an owner of Housecall Physicians Group of Rockford, formerly known as House Calls of Greater Chicago. Because his Winnebago County charges were reduced to aggravated battery, he will not have to register as a sex offender. He was also charged in Cook County for allegedly assaulting a 61-year-old Des Plaines woman he treated between 2009 and 2012 and faces several civil lawsuits.

Trump could have tough time meeting his deportation threat BY COLLEEN LONG, JILL COLVIN AND ELLIOT SPAGAT ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump could have a tough time making good on his threat to deport millions of people living in the U.S. illegally. But maybe that wasn’t his point. Trump’s late-night messages promised that starting next week his administration “will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they can.” That was a pronouncement likely to excite his political base just as he was formally announcing his reelection bid Tuesday night. It also scared immigrants in the U.S. illegally – and could deter others from coming. But it came at a cost. Trump blatantly exposed an upcoming enforcement operation, potentially jeopardizing the kind of sensitive e�ort that takes months to plan and relies on secrecy. The president’s tweets put new, fresh demands on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency in charge of removals, which is already overwhelmed, lacking sta�, funding and detention space for its current work. And any massive roundup that includes deportation of families would be sure to spark outrage. The tweets suggested the start of Trump’s reelection campaign is likely to have much in common with his 2016 announcement, when he accused Mexico of sending rapists to the United States and pledged to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. The rhetoric was widely denounced, yet the tough anti-immigration message struck a nerve with many Americans and ultimately helped carry Trump to victory. But his tough talk hasn’t led to a drop in border crossings since he took o�ce. The flow of Central American migrants has risen dramatically during his administration. He recently dropped a threat to slap tari�s on Mexico after the country agreed to step up immigration enforcement e�orts. The “millions” in his tweets referred to the more than 1 million people in the United States with fi nal deportation orders, meaning a judge has decided they be deported, according to an administration o�cial who spoke on condition of anonymity to explain the president’s tweets. Pew Research Center has estimated there are about 10.5 million people in the
U.S. illegally, with long-term residents outnumbering recent arrivals. The record for deportations over a full year is 419,384 in 2012, under the Obama administration. Some in Trump’s administration believe that decisive shows of force – like mass arrests – serve as deterrents, sending a message to those considering making the journey to the U.S. that it’s not worth coming. The new acting director of ICE, Mark Morgan, recently signaled a willingness to deport families during enforcement sweeps, though past Trump immigration o�cials hesitated over concerns about logistics and the public reaction. U.S. o�cials with knowledge of the preparations say the operation wasn’t imminent; it was to begin in the coming weeks and be nationwide. But ICE o�cials were not aware the president would make public sensitive law enforcement plans, and it’s unclear whether the operation now will go o� as planned. Enforcement sweeps require months of planning. O�cers work from recent add r e s s e s a nd don’t h ave s ea r c h warrants. Immigrants are not required to open their doors, and increasingly they don’t. O�cers generally capture about 30% to 40% of targets. Plus, ICE needs travel paperwork from a home country to deport someone, so immigrants often end up detained at least temporarily waiting for a deportation flight. The adult population of detainees was 53,141 as of June 8, though the agency is only budgeted for 45,000. There were 1,662 in family detention, also at capacity, and one of the family detention centers is currently housing single adults. Also, publicizing law enforcement operations can jeopardize o�cer safety and tip o� potential deportees. When Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf learned of an operation in Northern California and warned the immigrant community, Trump railed against the disclosure. He suggested prosecuting her for obstruction of justice. And the head of ICE at the time, Thomas Homan , said his agency could have arrested more people had she not warned them, calling it an “irresponsible decision.” Lawmakers from both parties raised concerns about Trump’s plan. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said his threat of a “mass deportation dragnet is an act of utter malice and bigotry, designed solely to inject fear in our communities.” Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, part of the GOP leadership, said, “I think
our energy is better exerted, one, taking care of people at the border who need to be taken care of and, two, looking at securing the border as our principal obligation.” Immigrant advocacy groups across the country are already getting terrified phone calls from people worried about raids. “People are always on edge,” said Cesar Espinosa, executive director of the Houston advocacy group FIEL. “This obviously reinforces that fear and in a lot of cases it paralyzes people when they can’t continue to live their daily lives.” Espinosa and other immigrant advocates encourage families to have an emergency preparedness plan, including a contact to care for children if their parents are arrested and savings to pay for a bond or utility bills. The American Civil Liberties Union was publicizing its “know your rights” campaign again Tuesday. Between 2009 and 2012, the Obama administration deported 1.6 million immigrants. About two million were deported during the eight years of the George W. Bush administration. An e�ort to rapidly deport more than a million people is “a fantasy” said John Sandweg, a former ICE head under Obama. “ICE is always working at 100 percent of its capacity. The president wants to create this illusion that he’s let go of the reins that other administrations were holding but that’s just not true.” Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people, mostly Central American families, are crossing the border monthly, highs not seen for more than a decade. There are holdups in every agency that manages immigration, including a backlog of more than 700,000 immigration cases. Acting Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan has asked for $4.5 billion in supplemental aid to help agencies cope. The hot summer weather usually deters some from coming. A senior Mexican o�cial said Monday that, three weeks ago, about 4,200 migrants were arriving at the U.S. border daily. Now that number has dropped to about 2,600. And Guatemalan officials are discussing immigration changes with Mexico. ICE did not comment on Trump’s tweets, but said in a statement it “will continue to conduct interior enforcement without exemption for those who are in violation of federal immigration law.”

Air Pollution
US air quality is slipping after years of improvement By Marcy Gordon Associated Press
A f te r d e c a d e s of i mpr ove me nt, America’s air may not be getting any cleaner. Over the last two years the nation had more polluted air days than just a few years earlier, federal data shows. While it remains unclear whether this is the beginning of a trend, health experts say it’s troubling to see air quality progress stagnate. There were 15% more days with unhealthy air in America both last year and the year before than there were on average from 2013 through 2016, the four years when America had its fewest number of those days since at least 1980. President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed just the opposite, saying earlier this month in Ireland: “We have the cleanest air in the world, in the United States, and it’s gotten better since I’m president.” That’s not quite the case. There were noticeably more polluted air days each year in the president’s first two years in office than any of the four years before, according to new Environmental Protection Agency data analyzed by The Associated Press. The Trump administration is expected to replace an Obama-era rule designed to limit emissions from electric power plants on Wednesday. Called the Clean Power Plan, it would have gradually phased out coal-burning power plants that emit both air pollutants and heat-trapping gases responsible for climate change. Air quality is affected by a complex mix of factors, both natural and man-made. Federal regulations that limit the emissions of certain chemicals and soot from factories, cars and trucks have helped dramatically improve air quality over recent decades. In any given year, however, air quality can be affected by natural variations. That may be what’s behind the stalled progress, scientists say. “What you’re seeing is a flattening off of progress as opposed to a major change in the wrong direction,” said former deputy EPA administrator Bob Perciasepe, president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions. But Trump is moving to loosen regulations on coal-fired power plants and cars that scientists credit for cleaner air, and he appears to be less stringent about enforcing current rules, according to data obtained by environmental advocates
through the Freedom of Information Act. Scientists say that it is too early to see the effects of changes in environmental policy of the Trump administration, which took office in January 2017. But they say looser restrictions and lax enforcement would almost certainly reverse the gains that have been made in recent decades, potentially turning what has so far been a modest, two-year backslide into a dangerous trend. “Today it feels like the future of our kids and our country is at stake,” said former Obama EPA chief Gina McCarthy, now director of the Center for Climate, Health and the Global Environment at the Harvard School of Public Health. “We do not have the cleanest air and we have not crossed the finish line when it comes to pollution.” The EPA quietly posted new air quality data online last month that shows a recent uptick in polluted days. Five hundred and thirty-two American metro areas reported a total of 4,134 days in 2018 when the official air quality index passed 100, which means it is unhealthy for people with heart and lung disease, the elderly and the very young. That’s about 15% more bad air days per city than the average for 2013 to 2016, America’s clean air heyday. The worst of the bad air days jumped even more. On average, in 2017 and 2018 there were nearly 140 times when a city’s air pollution reached the worst two categories – “very unhealthy” and “hazardous” – with the air quality index greater than 200. That’s more than two-and-a-half times the average of nearly 55 from 2013 to 2016. Last year, Riverside, California, topped the nation with 13 days in the worst two air quality categories and had the most bad air days of all types: 173. About 100,000 Americans each year die prematurely because of polluted air, studies show. El Paso, Texas, saw one of the biggest increases in bad air days from the mid-2010s among metro areas with at least 750,000 people. Like the rest of the country, El Paso has seen huge improvements in recent decades, but things have turned worse recently, and people say they notice. El Paso first grade teacher Tonya Olivas said she’s had to watch her son Joey more carefully. “If he’s having issues with coughing excessively because of his asthma, I will pull him out of recess and
P.E. I won’t let him go outside,” she said. El Paso averaged more than 200 bad air days a year in the 1980s. That dropped steadily to just under 14 a year on average from 2010 to 2016, then ticked up to an average of about 20 over the past two years. In an email, the EPA told The Associated Press the increase in unhealthy air days in 2017 “is largely associated with wildfires” in the west and it is studying 2018 before officially announcing its annual air trend data. Air pollution experts agree wildfires likely have had a role, along with random variation, a stronger economy which leads to more consumption of fuels, and
a changing climate. Higher temperatures increase the chances for fires and smog. Even with the recent stagnation, there are far fewer bad air days now than in the early 2000s, 1990s and 1980s. Perciasepe said what’s happening now is a “tug of war” between the worsening effects of warming on air quality and cleaner air from less coal use and more efficient cars. But if regulations on coal plants, cars and other emissions are relaxed, the air quality will deteriorate, said Carnegie Mellon University engineering professor Neil Donahue. “There is zero reason to expect any other outcome,” he said.

Crime & Courts
Jury finds 2 men guilty of murder By Jim Hagerty Reporter
ROCKFORD - A jury convicted two men of first-degree murder last Thursday in a shooting at a southeast Rockford apartment complex last year. Sanchez A. Curry, 26, of Machesney Park, and Devontae T. Wrancher, 26, of Rockford, were convicted of killing 26-year-old Anton Harris on Sept. 23, 2018, in the parking of Great Oaks apartments, 4929 Linden Road. Curry was the shooter; Wrancher was charged in conjunction with Illinois’ felony-murder law. Harris agreed to meet with Wrancher at the complex to exchange a debit card as part of card-cracking scheme. Prosecutors said Wrancher arranged that meeting and that he and Curry called each other a total of 15 times before Harris was killed and after the shooting, which showed they were working together. Assistant State’s Attorney Theodora
Green told the jury that Wrancher provided Harris with the address and that the two men had done business in the past. As the men spoke in the parking lot, Curry emerged and shot 26-year-old Harris twice--once in the arm and once in the back. Wrancher told police he and Harris were exchanging cards when an unknown man in a white T-shirt shot Harris. Wrancher said he was scared and ran from the scene. One of Wrancher’s lawyers, Elizabeth Bucko, told the jury there was no evidence connecting her client to anyone with a gun. She said police told Wrancher that they knew he was not the shooter. Curry represented himself and told the jury repeatedly during closing arguments he did not shoot Harris. Prosecutors objected to the statements, telling Judge Joe McGraw the defendant was using the closing statements to testify. The judge sustained, requiring Curry to focus his
arguments on what was presented at trial. Curry said he wasn’t at the scene the night Harris was shot. The FBI, however, tracked his cellphone from his home to Great Oaks before the shooting and back to his residence afterward. Curry said the phone and the number associated with it were not his. He said it was used by Wrancher’s girlfriend to call Wrancher around the time of the shooting. “(I) never had that phone, period,” he said during closing arguments. “I am an innocent man fighting for my life.” Harris’ girlfriend, Deneshia Epps, testified that on Sept. 23, 2018, she was driving from Chicago to Freeport with Harris and her son when Harris asked her to stop at Great Oaks. She said Harris had been communicating with a person on SnapChat about picking up a bank card. That person, Winnebago County Detective Heath Engelkens told the jury, was Devontae Wrancher, who used the
SnapChat name “Turnip.” Epps said Harris and Wrancher spoke for a few minutes near her car before a third man approached and opened fire. “The shooter came from the front of my vehicle,” Epps said. “He pulled a gun out of his pants and shot.” Epps could not identify the gunman but pointed to Wrancher as the man her boyfriend spoke to before he was shot. Engelkens said that Wrancher and Harris met twice before to exchange bank cards and that one of the transactions failed, meaning it did not result in any cash. Card cracking commonly involves one party who deposits bad checks into an account of another party then quickly withdraws cash from an ATM. The details of the scam in which Wrancher and Harris were involved are not known and no charges were filed. Curry and Wrancher are due back in July 16 for a status hearing.
Charitable Giving
Charitable giving by individual Americans drops in 2018 By David Crary Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) – Charitable giving by individual Americans in 2018 suffered its biggest drop since the Great Recession of 2008-09, in part because of Republicanbacked changes in tax policy, according to the latest comprehensive report on Americans’ giving patterns. The Giving USA report, released Tuesday, said individual giving fell by 1.1%, from $295 billion in 2017 to $292 billion last year. It ended a four-year streak of increases, and was the largest decline since a 6.1% drop in 2009. Experts involved with the report said 2018 was a complex year for charitable giving, with a relatively strong economy overall and a volatile stock market. Giving by corporations and foundations increased, so that total giving – including donations from individuals – edged up by 0.7 percent to $427.7 billion. Among various factors affecting charitable giving was a federal tax policy change that doubled the standard deduction. More than 45 million households itemized deductions in 2016, according to Giving USA, and that number likely dropped sharply in 2018, reducing an incentive for charitable giving.
“Whenever there’s a major tax policy change like that, it has an effect.” said Rick Dunham, chair of Giving USA Foundation, which publishes the annual report. It is researched and written by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. Dunham and other experts said it will likely take another year of analysis, with the help of additional data, to reach a more precise estimate of the tax change’s impact. Stacy Palmer, editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, a magazine that covers the nonprofit world, suggested that the changes would have relatively less impact on charities that rely on wealthy donors, and greater impact on social-service providers and other charities that get broad support from middle-class Americans. “Charities who depend on them are really worried,” said Palmer. United Way, the largest traditional charity in the U.S., is among the nonprofits relying on middle-class donors. About 90% of its donations come through workplace-based campaigns, according to its chief marketing officer, Lisa Bowman. Bowman said United Way won’t know until later this year how it fared for its
2018-19 fiscal year, but she noted that traditional nonprofits face many new challenges, including competition from online crowdfunding operations such as GoFundMe. Among the nine charitable sectors identified by Giving USA, there were mixed results. Donations were up for nonprofits involved in international affairs and environmental or animal-welfare issues. Giving to foundations was down, as was giving to education, to religion and to public-society benefit organizations – groups which work on such issues as voter education, civil rights, civil liberties and consumer rights. Giving to religion – perennially the biggest sector – is estimated to have declined by 1.5% in 2018 (a decrease of 3.9% adjusted for inflation), with a total of $124.52 billion in contributions. Una Osili, an associate dean at the Lilly philanthropy school, said giving to religious institutions has been lagging behind other sectors for several years. Reasons including declining attendance at church services and a rising number of Americans not affiliated with any particular religion. For the largest U.S. denomination – the Roman Catholic Church – a long-running
clergy sex-abuse crisis also has taken a financial toll. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, about one-fourth of U.S. Catholics have decreased donations to the church because of the scandals. Empty Tomb, a Christian organization based in Champaign, Illinois, that researches religious giving, says the decline is longstanding. According to its research, Americans gave about 3% of their disposable income to churches in 1968, and less than 2.2% in 2016. Empty Tomb’s leaders, Sylvia and John Ronsvalle, have attributed the decline at least in part to a failure by church leaders to inspire more than a perfunctory level of generosity. Their latest report refers to a perception in some quarters that church is “boring.” Overall, Americans’ level of generosity is similar to what it was decades ago. For 2018, giving by individuals represented 1.9 percent of total disposable income, down from 2.4 percent in 2005 and the same as the rate in 1984. Similarly, total charitable donations have hovered around 2 percent of the gross domestic product for many years; for 2018, that figure was 2.1 percent.

MR. GREEN CAR
Smart used car shopping BY ALLEN PENTICOFF COLUMNIST
Buying a used car is often the way to get more car for less money. While shopping for a new car is certainly easy and you can be somewhat assured that a new car will be quite reliable for a few years at least – a used or “previously owned” car or light truck can be something of a gamble. This column will not be about how to select the right vehicle for you or even how to inspect it and what to look for – but rather the lesser known issue of auto recalls and what you should know about them when shopping for a used car or truck. In the dark ages of auto safety – manufacturers were loath to admit there was a problem with their vehicles as they rolled out of the factory. Serious, sometimes fatal, design defects were ignored and the manufacturers refused to accept responsibility for repairs or the accidents that resulted. Times have changed and the manufacturers issue alerts and recalls at the drop of the hat. This has led to some complacency on the part of owners. Some very serious problems and very necessary recall work are ignored by the original purchaser of the vehicle. Your federal government’s National Highway Tra�c Safety Administration (NHTSA) monitors these important recalls and makes the information about them available through their website. If an important recall has been announced for a vehicle, it is possible to not only find out what the recall is all about, but if the particular vehicle you are considering has complied with the necessary repairs. You can find this information at: www. nhtsa.gov/recalls Once you are on the site, enter the 17 digit/letter Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is usually found at the bottom of the left side of the windshield on top of the dashboard. VIN numbers are also found on sales, insurance and registration documents. CarFax and Consumer Reports also have the tools on their websites to perform this search. If you are shopping for a used vehicle at a dealer, you should inquire of them if they know that all recalls have been complied with. Consumer Reports’ secret shopper investigations found a mixed bag of results from such inquiries. Some dealers would not sell a vehicle until the recall was complied with, while others would try to shove the job of compliance checking and completion onto the buyer (used car dealers are not required by law to disclose or do any of this). Some dealers would say that it would cost them
something to take a vehicle to a dealer to have a recall complied with. This is not true. Anyone can take a vehicle with an outstanding recall to the manufacturer’s dealer to have the work done for free – even other dealers. As a particular case demonstrating the importance of finding out this information and complying with recalls, there is the tragedy of the Takata airbags found in many vehicles. If your vehicle has one of these airbags and the recall has not been complied with – there is a very good chance that when the airbag deploys explosively in an accident, that metal can penetrate your body and you may die of the injury. It has happened - a lot. It has happened to people who bought nice used 2002 Honda Civics and other vehicles. The problem is so profound that Ford issued a “Do Not Drive” recall on their 2006 Ranger trucks. Literally, if you are looking at a Ford Ranger of this vintage and you find the recall has not been complied with, do not drive it at all. Whomever is selling the vehicle should have it towed (at Ford’s expense – check with the dealer) immediately for this repair work. The Takata airbag fiasco has a�ected 19 auto manufacturers’ products – so there is no way to know if the vehicle you are looking at is a�ected by, or has complied with, the Takata recall unless YOU check or you are told specifically it has been complied with or is una�ected. Here are the numbers: 56 million vehicles have dangerous Takata airbags (42 million are in cars); 26 million have not been replaced. So roughly only half of these vehicles have had these dangerous airbags replaced. That’s rather poor odds you’ll buy a vehicle with the recall already complied with. Even if you are not shopping for a vehicle, if you don’t know if what you are driving is a�ected by the Takata recall or any others, it would behoove you to do the simple NHTSA.gov/recalls search and find out for certain. Most of us could do this with our smartphones while inspecting the vehicle under consideration. I just did this with my own 2002 Chevy Suburban. It was very easy to do (and no recalls found outstanding). Again, if there is an important recall affecting what you are driving, the manufacturer’s new car dealer will fi x it for free – wherever you are. The dealer’s service department can also find and look up your VIN number to see what recalls or service bulletins apply to your vehicle and can recommend appropriate action. It costs nothing. Do it.
TUBE TALK
Playing games BY PAULA HENDRICKSON CONTRIBUTOR
Joel McHale. Taye Diggs. Elizabeth Banks. Dax Shepard. What do these celebrities have in common? They’re all hosting primetime game shows this summer, joining the ranks of fellow celebrity game show hosts like Steve Harvey (Celebrity Family Feud), Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night), Anthony Anderson (To Tell the Truth), Jaime Foxx (Beat Shazam), Rob Lowe (Mental Samurai), Ellen DeGeneres (Ellen’s Game of Games), Michael Strahan ($100,000 Pyramid), and Alec Baldwin (Match Game). Just when you think the game shot glut has hit its peak, more game shows always debut. Some are entirely new shows, others are revamped classics. Having a funny, engaging celebrity host – and in some cases, celebrity contestants – is the common thread for many contemporary primetime game shows. Anyone who’s played party games or board games with a group of people knows how quickly bonds form and trash talking starts, that kind of competitive play is a great way to get to know people. Perhaps that’s why viewers enjoy kicking back to watch celebrities embroiled in games of chance, knowledge, or silly fun, whether it’s as a player or referee. Game shows are so popular that ABC has is dedicating Sunday and Wednesday nights this summer solely to game shows with Celebrity Family Feud, $100,000 Pryamid, and To Tell the Truth airing back-to-back on Sunday, and Press Your Luck, Card Sharks, and Match Game on Wednesdays.
Other networks seem to be testing the waters by scattering gameshows into their weekly lineups. On NBC, The Wall, hosted by Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick, returns June 20, and Hollywood Game Night returns July 11. Over on Fox, Spin the Wheel will run on Thursday nights while Beat Shazam airs Mondays. CBS is the only major broadcast network that hasn’t jumped on the game show bandwagon. These aren’t the only game shows airing this summer, just some prominent primetime shows with celebrity hosts. If you’re wondering how and why so many actors and talk show hosts are headlining game shows, it’s probably because they love the genre. Many hosts also executive produce their programs, and a few may have even created or co-created the shows, so having them on camera could be a contingency for getting the show made. The bottom line is that watching celebrities let loose and have fun, either as contestants or hosts, lets viewers see that celebrities aren’t that special. Like the rest of us, they enjoy a good game.
Programming Notes:
Press Your Luck with Elizabeth Banks airs Wednesdays at 7 p.m. CT on ABC. Card Sharks with Joel McHale airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. CT on ABC. Spin the Wheel with Dax Shepard premieres Thursday, June 20 at 8 p.m. CT on Fox. Hypnotize Me with Taye Diggs premieres Wednesday August 7 at 8 p.m. CT on The CW.

Stock Market
Optimism over trade sends US stocks sharply higher By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga Associated Press
Potentially encouraging news on trade and interest rates put Wall Street in a buying mood Tuesday, driving the market to solid gains and sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average 350 points higher. Technology stocks powered much of the rally as investors welcomed news that the leaders of the U.S. and China will meet face-to-face next week to discuss their long-running trade dispute. Traders have been hoping for any positive sign in the trade war between the world’s largest economies. It’s not the first time the market has rallied on seemingly encouraging developments on trade. Previous positive signs did not pan out, triggering market turbulence. “You sort of have to ignore it a little bit,” said Tobias Carlisle, founder and portfolio manager at Acquirers Funds. “It’s probably going to drag out to the end of the year, so what we’re trying to do is buy something undervalued, and it’s great when there’s a day like today and it works.” Markets also got a boost after the head of the European Central Bank said it was ready to cut interest rates and provide additional economic stimulus if necessary. The remarks put the spotlight on the Federal Reserve, which is set to announce its own decision on interest rates Wednesday. The S&P 500 index climbed 28.08 points, or 1% to 2,917.75. The Dow gained 353.01 points, or 1.4%, to 26,465.54. The Nasdaq, which is heavily weighted with technology companies, jumped 108.86 points, or 1.4%, to 7,953.88. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies added 17.48 points, or 1.1%,
to 1,550.23. It was the second straight gain for the market, extending a strong rebound for stocks in June after a steep sell-off last month. The benchmark S&P 500 is now less than 1% below its all-time high set on April 30. The Dow is 1.4% below its record high set October 3. The Nasdaq is about 2.5% below its record close set on May 3. The wave of buying got its start overseas early Tuesday after the remarks from the head of the ECB. Major indexes in Europe closed sharply higher. President Donald Trump stirred fresh optimism among investors when he said he will hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at an international summit in Japan. U.S. businesses have implored Trump to stop escalating the trade war and refrain from expanding his tariffs to $300 billion on goods from China. A prospective meeting between the U.S. and China’s leaders is welcome news for a market that has been searching for some direction. “If you think back a week ago, there was a fear they wouldn’t even talk at all,” said J.J. Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade. Investors were also looking ahead to the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate policy announcement Wednesday, with many betting the central bank is headed for its first interest rate cut in over a decade. Two weeks ago, Fed Chair Jerome Powell set off a rally on Wall Street after he signaled that the central bank is willing to cut interest rates to help stabilize the economy if the trade war between Washington and Beijing starts to crimp growth. Any continued escalations could put the brakes on what is poised to be the longest economic expansion in U.S. history.

Most analysts say they think economic growth has slowed sharply in the AprilJune quarter to around a 1.5% percent annual rate, only half the pace of the past year. Investors collectively envision a Fed rate cut by July and possibly further cuts after that. Some are even betting on a rate cut this week. Many economists, though, think the Fed will wait until September at the earliest to announce its first drop in its benchmark short-term interest rate since 2008 and might not cut again in 2019. A few Fed watchers foresee no rate cut at all this year. “I don’t know that the Fed is going to deliver what investors want because the market looks fairly frothy at the moment,” Carlisle said. Technology sector stocks powered much of the rally Tuesday. Apple gained 2.4% and chipmakers Intel and Nvidia rose 2.7% and 5.4%, respectively. Google’s parent company, Alphabet added 1%. Banks rose. JPMorgan Chase picked up 1.4% and Bank of America rose 2.5%. Industrial and consumer-related stocks also made big gains. General Electric climbed 3.7%, Caterpillar rose
2.4%, and Nike added 2.7%. Utilities and consumer products companies ended lower, a sign that investors were stepping back from the safe-play sectors and taking on more risk. SM Energy climbed 6.6% after the oil and natural gas company raised production forecasts for the second quarter and full year. U.S. government bond prices rose, sending yields lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.06%, below the 2.08% it traded at late Monday. That’s still well below the 2.21% yield on the three-month Treasury bill. Benchmark crude oil rose 3.8% to settle at $53.90 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international standard, rose 2% to close at $62.14 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline rose 1.8% to $1.72 per gallon. Heating oil climbed 1.6% to $1.83 per gallon. Natural gas fell 2.4% to $2.33 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gold edged down 0.6% to $1,350.70 per ounce, silver rose 1.1% to $14.99 per ounce and copper rose 2.1% to $2.70 per pound. The dollar fell to 108.44 Japanese yen from 108.57 yen on Friday. The euro weakened to $1.1196 from $1.1216.

Harlem Renaissance
Harlem Renaissance at Ethnic Heritage Museum From David Ruffin
Ethnic Heritage Museum
ROCKFORD – During the 1920-40s, Black American went through a cultural revolution known as the Harlem Renaissance. On Sunday, June 23, the Ethnic Heritage Museum will unveil its newest exhibit examining the accomplishments of some of the writers, artists and musicians of this creative time in our history.

Entertainment
Local standouts pay homage to Italian pop stars From Ron Holm Trinadora
Three of the Stateline’s best-know and busiest performers are partnering to create a special dinner-concert. From 5-7 p.m. on Sunday, June 30, Vince Chiarelli, Jannie Nelson, and Ron Holm (Jannie and Ron are the Trinadora duo) will sing the hits that made Bobby Darin, Connie Francis, and Dion Demucci famous. The concert will also feature brief stories of the fascinating lives, times, and recordings of the three stars. An award-winning band comprised of John Bishoff (electric guitar), Frank Calvagna (Spanish guitar), Dan Kasten (drums), and David Timmcke (bass) will provide exquisite accompaniment for the vocalists. The dinner-concert occurs at Radisson Hotel
& Conference Center, 200 S Bell School Rd, Rockford. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. Dinner includes chicken chardonnay, pasta Alfredo with fresh broccoli, fresh vegetables, salad with bread, cookies, and a coffee station. A cash bar will be available. The $25 ticket price includes both the concert and dinner. Tickets may be purchased at https://www. eventbrite.com/e/italian-pop-legends-dion-darin-francis-tickets-62066246815. Those who are not able to buy tickets online may phone 815-979-1949 to make arrangements to purchase tickets by classic mail. Vince Chiarelli inherited his musical passion from his multi-talented grandfather and namesake, whose fondly- remembered “Vince the Tailor” building housed Rockford’s first professional recording
studio, “Vincent Records”. In addition to recording music for himself and others, the senior Vince composed and performed music. His colorful life was chronicled as the first “Our City Our Story” feature, and his musical career produced encounters with such stars as Glen Campbell and The Jackson Five during the formative days of vintage pop music. Carrying on his grandfather’s tradition, Vince performs regularly across the Midwest, and his unique “Flamenco Italiano” blend of ethnic and pop music have earned him billing at the most prominent Italian festivals across the country. Jannie Nelson and Ron Holm play over 150 annual dates as the Trinadora Duo and, when accompanied by their band, the
Trinadora Rocks Band. Jannie is a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist who has achieved jaw-dropping proficiency on keyboard, concertina, ocarina, jSax, steel guitar. Ron’s musical roots are deep, and over the years he has shared billings with such notables as Roy Orbison, folk legend Odetta, and Americana icon Greg Brown. He was a founding member of the Emery Christiansen Band, whose “Between Planes” album on the seminal Mountain Railroad label garnered national attention. Vince, Jannie, and Ron are each known for their head-turning vocal abilities, and their June 30th performance of Bobby Darin, Connie Francis, and Dion hits is guaranteed to be memorable and enjoyable for all.

Finding Your Beauty in Rockford By Brynna Dolan Rockford Area CVB
Rockford is full of hidden gems all around, from delicious food to our beautiful gardens; even salons and boutiques. Something that may not be on people’s radar until summer starts to shine through is where to find their “self-care” needs. For you, maybe that’s starting a new workout regime, loading up on skincare products, or just getting a fresh coat of paint on your nails- whatever it may be, Rockford has a spot! If finding reliable places for these services seems daunting- not to worry, I’ve done my research so you don’t have to! While browsing, I was looking for places that more so have their clients best interest in mind, not necessarily just cosmetics. From this I came up with 4 places, each with different services or products, to
Lucette Holistic Salon Boutique
keep you looking and feeling your best at a reasonable cost. First up on our list is Namaste Studios. Namaste offers so many services like yoga of many sorts, meditation, and even reflexology. They offer thorough explanations on what each class entails and the research behind it to know what you’re getting yourself into. The studio is very highly rated, making it a great place to start your summer health journey. (Namaste Studios is located at 223 E. State Street in Rockford.) You may leave Namaste Studios feeling a little sore, but that’s okay because Circle of Wellness has you covered! They have an awesome team of licensed and reliable massage technicians trained in ample specialties for a relaxing experience to keep your aches and pains in check. They
also offer a sweet deal for first-timers to check out what they’re all about. (Circle of Wellness is located at 3626 E. State Street in Rockford.) Now that we’ve covered the bodyfeel-good aspect of it all, we like to keep ourselves looking fresh on the outside, too! Know who can help with that? Lucette Holistic Salon Boutique! They have amazing hair, nail, facial, and waxing services. They value their work, specifically in the sense of artistic quality and tending to each guest’s specific vision to boost confidence for overall better well-being.

They pride themselves in using many natural ingredients in their soaps, lotions, oils, scrubs, bath bombs,
etc., to keep your salon experience going at home! (Bath & Body Fusion is located at 324 E. State Street in Rockford.) Personally, I think that the best thing about these places is that they recognize that it can be difficult to achieve your “best self,” so they do their best to make their clients feel comfortable and cared for. We also love that each of these places is local, which makes it possible for them to tend to each person that walks in to the best of their ability. There is a sense of comfort and community in these locally-owned businesses. So, go out and kick off summer by treating yourself and supporting your neighbors all in one trip!

Troubleshooting fruit tree issues BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR
June is typically the time when I get a number of phone calls to the University of Illinois Extension o�ce asking what’s wrong with a backyard fruit tree. These issues begin to show up between spring and summer. Some of these issues can be resolved currently while other problems will need to be addressed next year. It is important to realize that some of the problems you face are out of your control. The winter of 2019 had a great e�ect on stone fruit. A cold winter that dips into the negatives can kill buds before the season begins which was the case for many of the peach and cherry buds this season. Neither of the trees at our o�ce have buds/will produce this year as the cuto� temperature is -9 F. Hope for a more mild winter in 2020. Apple and pear trees should have tolerated this winter and still produce this season. However, you may find based on the variety, age of the tree, and overall growing conditions that it still may not. The best guidance is to consider this winter/cold spring as the main e�ect for a lack of fruit. Another common problem can be poor pollination. You need more than one variety of apple trees to cross-pol-
linate. This may explain why you have never gotten any fruit from your apple trees if all you have planted are one variety. There is not an immediate solution, as you need to now add another apple variety in the backyard. If you had a lot of fruit last summer but find you don’t have a lot of buds this season, you may find that your pear and/or apple trees have entered biennial fruiting. Yet again, this is an issue that needs to be addressed this upcoming winter by properly pruning your trees. In June and July, remove any fruit/ leaves that have dropped. Insects like apple maggot will tend to hang out in this fruit then move to fruit on the tree. Apple maggot traps are available and should be hung around July 1st. These sticky, red spheres do a good job of trapping apple maggots though you need 1 trap per 100 apples on your tree. Keep in mind that proper diagnosis is key to disease, insect, and physical disorders. Contact the local University of Illinois Extension o�ce in your county for assistance. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension. His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.
Our last two articles addressed some seldom mentioned approaches for adapting to the environmental crisis in its multiple dimensions. In one sense they are reassuring since they suggest there are other ways of addressing our environmental problems beyond that of adding to our intensive use of resources. Unfortunately if they prove necessary their implementation may occur too late to avoid the severity of the environmental consequences of our existing lifestyles. Environmental activist Luisa Neubauer of Germany recently pointed out that if the world had starting cutting back carbon emissions at a rate of 4% per year 20 years ago we would be in compliance with the Paris Agreement. Instead the world now faces the necessity of reducing carbon emissions by 18% annually. An annual statistical review of global energy markets pointed out that global carbon emissions were up 2% in 2018. In the United States energy consumption was up 3.5% in the same year, the highest spike in energy demand in 30 years. As prices for fossil fuels climb as expected, the appeal of energy e�ciency will increase as will those of renewable energy resources as they continue to fall in price. The simplest way to cut carbon emissions and save money is to simply use less energy. Higher energy costs and/ or a price on carbon can stimulate using less energy but such actions are based on their public acceptance. A more appealing approach is that of programs that stimulate investment in energy e�ciency. According to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), ComEd has recently agreed to invest $350 million a year in an energy e�ciency program for four years. Their new initiatives are expected to nearly double savings for participating citizens and cut their electrical use by 21% by 2030.
The major provisions in the plan include expanding existing programs such as product rebates, energy assessments, weatherization and comprehensive retrofitting. Roughly $48 million will be allocated to economically disadvantaged communities. Both single family households and multifamily residences will be eligible for benefits. Investment in energy e�ciency is a very cost e�ective way to cut energy consumption and pollution while saving money for consumers. Additional information regarding these incentives will be announced by ComEd. Several nonprofit organizations such as EDF, Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) have worked with ComEd on this program. CUB has been sponsoring meetings for interested citizens explaining some of the opportunities to cut energy consumption based on customers’ energy bills and incentives available for energy e�ciency and solar investments. At this year’s Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair, August 10 at the Byron Forest Preserve, representatives from CUB and Faith in Place will be available to discuss the opportunities for energy savings from their expanded energy e�ciency initiatives. Becoming more energy e�cient is based on having good policies in place to stimulate investments in energy e�ciency. A recent article in Vox by David Roberts comments on the role California has played in stimulating energy e�ciency policies throughout the country by using ambitious performance standards. If the nation had improved as quickly as California did between 1975 and 2016, US greenhouse gas emissions would nearly be 25% lower than they are today. The article by Roberts is based on a report for NRDC which Charles Komano� participated in developing. Komano� was a keynote speaker at one of early Fairs.

ROCKFORD - Fred VanVleet gave credit to the Golden State Warriors for being the best in the business after his Toronto Raptors defeated them 114-110 to win the NBA title last Thursday. He also dedicated the win to his hometown of Rockford, which includes the thousands who packed City Market pavilion to witness the feat. “Rockford, Rockford, this is for you, baby!” VanVleet said after his postgame interview with ESPN’s Doris Burke. Thursday’s victory came on the road, which means the Raptors will return home with Canada’s first major championship since 1993, the year the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series and the Montreal Canadiens hoisted the Stanley Cup. VanVleet was again a big factor in Game 6, scoring 22 points off the bench. The thirdyear man hit five 3-pointers, including one that put the Raptors up 104-101 with 3:48 left to play, a basket that helped slow a surging Golden State down the stretch. Steph Curry, who, without Kevin Durant, was left to carry the Warriors in the Finals, scored 21. The prolific shooter had a chance to force a Game 7 in the waning seconds but missed a desperation three that led to a called timeout Golden State didn’t have. The technical foul gave Kawhi Leonard a free throw with 0.9 seconds to play and Toronto the 112-110 lead. Leonard was fouled on the inbound play, leading to two more
free throws. “They’ve been the best for a long time,” VanVleet said. “So, it took a lot of effort on our part – a lot of focus, a lot of resilience. They don’t give you anything. You’ve got to go out there and take it. And we were able to maintain.” As for his clutch shooting in the fourth quarter, VanVleet credited his offseason training, a regimen that’s earned him the trust of his teammates. “They were doubling Kawhi,” he said. “And I was able to step up and make some big shots.” VanVleet did more than make some big shots. The undrafted guard who helped put Wichita State back on the NCCA map proved he belongs on the big stage by keeping Curry in check. While Curry averaged 30.5 points per game in the series, they didn’t come easy or result in the NBA Finals prowess he enjoyed while winning the last two championships. “He scored 1,000 points in this series it felt like,” VanVleet said. “I just wanted to make it tough on him and try to earn some respect there – battle, scratch, claw, foul – do what I gotta do to help our team win. We have a ton of respect for those guys but we (were) going for them. We wanted to take them down, and we were able to do that.” VanVleet finished the NBA Finals with 14 points per game, including 16 3-pointers. He shot 45.5 percent from the field, 39.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Making mountains out of mole hills: Bears, Nagy need to relax on kicking craze By Robert Zeglinski Contributor
One of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder is recurring memories of one’s trauma. In addition to upsetting flashbacks, as well as mental and physical reactions to triggering stimuli, someone with PTSD is constantly reliving their trauma with no choice. They feel they need to be always on guard, either broadly in defined strokes over their whole life, or more often more specifically in the one realm of their life where their trauma occurred. It’s an overcompensation wrought by unfortunate insecurity. It’s instinctively reacting to failure as if one has to shift their entire world view to make sure they aren’t pained again. Anyone can suffer at the hands of some form of PTSD. Anyone can be a victim to their unfortunate devices in pursuit of success. Even the Bears and Matt Nagy, who continue to dwell on the one issue most plaguing a Super Bowl contender: responsibility at kicker. Just five months out, the story of Cody Parkey’s disastrous lone season in Chicago lives on in infamy. His 2018 sits alongside some of the most maligned individual and team performances in the Bears’ 100-year up-and-down existence. On more modern terms, it’s in line with the walking zombies known as Marc Trestman’s 2014 team as it was just as humiliating for everyone at Halas Hall. In a town known for treating quarterbacks with the least-softened toilet paper, a kicker, inexplicably, was the most famous player and for all the wrong reasons. A fact that won’t change come this fall; whoever takes over as the Bears’ kicker might as well have a haunting Scarlet Letter painted on them. That’s what happens to guys like Parkey when they miss 11 kicks, not least of which easily the most meme’d gaffe in team history to end a playoff run before it had a chance. A vapid Parkey national television appearance to garner unwarranted sympathy after the fact changed nothing: the kicker had one of the worst seasons by any player at any position on any team in Bears history. The Bears’ fixation on avoiding the mistakes of Parkey’s past, including a questionable free agent contract, in this realm are understandable. They have too complete of a roster, too talented of a team, to let almost nine months of grueling work go down the drain again on one leg of one unreliable man. Their commitment to bringing in younger, unproven kickers like Elliot Fry and Eddy Pineiro and give them a shot to
distinguish themselves shows as much. They got themselves into this mess by not putting their kickers through the ringer enough, and there’s time to patch over the pothole. They want to learn from their mistakes, and they don’t want what should be a preventable ailment to be what holds them back from the greatness they think they deserve. They want to place the trauma of Parkey’s season, of his fateful miss on a national stage, in the rearview mirror and stop exhaustively reliving its aftermath in their heads. In other words, they’re preaching to the Chicago choir. But the underlying sentiment to their approach thus far, all quality competition aside, only serves as a disservice to letting the wound heal. If anything, they’re letting it fester. There’s not forgetting your mistakes and oversights as to really learn from them, and then there’s heavy-handed obsession covertly dragging your operation down. First there was the glorified kicking derby in early May where the Bears hosted eight candidates, most of which had minimal experience, if any, kicking in the league. At a glance the concept itself was sound. Let it play out like a tournament and let the best few stand out from the muck and earn their keep for the summer. The Bears thought they cleverly added to the dynamic when they made each green kicker make attempts from Parkey’s supernaturally infused – because the Bears infuse it with that much power – distance of a number. The results, only two of the eight young men nailing it through the uprights at Halas Hall, were predictable. Matt Nagy’s comments on the situation then oozed frustration that surely hasn’t ceased. This is a man who prides himself on having every detail accounted for. He hires people to self-scout his offensive schemes weekly as to make sure he’s evolving on the smallest of levels throughout the entire season. He ingratiates himself to his players just by being himself, and in turn he created some of the most potent chemistry on a Bears team in years. These are aspects of football and leading he can control, that he likes to control. To then lose his professional agency with an unpredictable roll of the dice at kicker should be a familiar concept. Nagy’s not used to unforeseen circumstances getting in the way of his goals. Every stop on his playing and coaching career has been met with passionate energy and optimism. Every time he’s found a way to thrive, to smile, while never letting reality win. For Nagy to do everything right, and
for life to still decide to give him lemons has to be vexing. When he doesn’t know how to react to the new challenge, its mystifying effect multiplies. “T wo for eight, that’s not good enough,” Nagy told reporters then. “Now I will say this: We always look at the end result of what happened, which is 100 percent what matters, but as we’re learning, two of those eight holds and snaps, it wasn’t 100 percent ... That’s why after today we’re not going to go out and make rash, brash decisions or anything. We’re gonna play it out.” Having each kicker, a psychologically delicate position no one in their right mind knows how to evaluate – the craftiest minds on Draft Twitter can’t think of a reasonable system – attempt from the blundering distance that defined their predecessor doesn’t seem like a calculated decision. It’s rash, and screams of desperation. You can’t hide behind cryptic coach-speak messaging in this: emotions are always worn on the sleeve. “They know loud and clear why,” Nagy indignantly told The Athletic when asked to clarify why he had each kicker attempt from 43 yards. Everything is fine. Nothing to see here. Please disperse. So how do the Bears continue to feed this madness a little over a month later? They start treating their doe-eyed kickers like world class golfers. They institute a rule of “Augusta Silence”; complete silence in practice every time a kicker has to make an attempt as to ratchet up pressure with the exact same tense bubble a Tiger Woods might have to face for the green jacket. Never mind that the thought process makes little sense; rarely is it completely quiet in a raucous NFL stadium of all places. Never mind that a kicker enters his own isolated world out on the field before a pressure attempt; the metaphor between the lines the Bears are aiming for. This impatient insistence on putting the weight of the past on guys who have never taken professional snaps carries no water. The following week, as the three remaining kickers attempted a 43-yarder and missed in front of a gathered crowd, was predictable. Three guys who have never kicked before crumbling at the prospect of walking before they know how to crawl. Before they know how to stand on their own two feet. As they break for the summer, it looks like the Bears have mishandled dealing with their kicking demons at every instance. It looks like they became reactionary and to make matters worse, haven’t had enough self awareness to
realize it. It looks like they’ve actively tried to sabotage themselves, almost as if they had so little to worry about they had to make a mountain out of a kicking mole hill. Everything they’ve done in the 2019 off-season is a signal of someone someone who has lost the independence to healthily look ahead. It makes each unproven kicker carry the extra unnecessary weight of Parkey’s fall with them as they try to win their first major job. Instead of letting them walk in with a clean slate and learn to make pressure kicks on the fly, like every special kicker has, Robbie Gould included, the Bears and Nagy are forcing the process. If there’s no foolproof method to evaluate regular position players, then there’s no surefire path to glory with kickers. One thing is for certain: if unicorns such Gould or the Colts’ Adam Vinatieri had to undergo these same kind of insecure obstacles back when they started, they wouldn’t have been nearly as successful. Reliable kickers aren’t made. They’re random, and gain a needed steely nerve as they go. Or, they don’t. As much as it may pain control freaks like Nagy, you can only know a kicker has “it” the moment a game, or perhaps your season is on the line. The Bears are not letting destiny take its course while minding their business the way good, mentally tough teams do. They’re dwelling on the past, instead of transcending past it. The Bears have put themselves on a hamster wheel with no sign of slowing down. They’ve magnified their kicking problem, making it A Thing, when they could’ve proceeded without any extra unneeded fervor. They’ve disturbingly kept it flowing in the background as much as they attest none of 2018’s horror matters to them anymore. If Nagy, and the Bears following his lead by extension, are going to get over the trauma of their kicking horrors, they have to start getting over it by trusting their new kickers more. They have to give them the benefit of the doubt to give the rest of their team the benefit of the doubt and let everyone move on. They have to stop overthinking and reliving their playoff pain. They have to start digging up. Robert is a writer, editor, and producer. You can follow him on Twitter @RobertZeglinski.
