City presents balanced budget; marijuana tax OK’d

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD - Mayor Tom McNamara and the city’s finance department, on Monday, presented aldermen with next year’s balanced budget of $163 million.

As with prior years, McNamara is proposing that that the property tax levy remain flat, which leaves $1.05 million in revenue the city could otherwise have collected from taxpayers. Equalized assessed valuation (EAV) is expected to increase an estimated 7% in 2019. That, officials say, equates to an increase in property value and a lower property tax rate.

The proposed budget also includes increase of $2.189 million in the city’s public-safety pension contribution, bringing 2020’s total to $19.9 million.

The contribution was $10.5 million six years ago.

If the plan is approved by aldermen, the city would lower its tax rate to 2.98%. That would be a 4.4-percent decrease from 2018 and the first time the rate has dropped below 3% since 2011.

The City has implemented numer-

ous recommendations by the National Resource Network and the Finance Task Force, including: Successfully negotiated employee health contribution increases with all but one employee group; implemented billing convenience fees in lieu of water system PILOT or sale; ongoing sale of city-owned properties; investing in crime prevention strategies with longterm payoff, including Family Peace Center; increased ambulance collections through fee schedule revisions with no cost to citizens; and establishing a vacant and foreclosed property registry.

The city has until March 31 to pass the 2020 budget.

While a temporary casino could be up and running next year along with recreational marijuana dispensaries, neither is calculated in the proposed budget.

“Without definitive rules setting forth the time frame for issuance of new recreational cannabis licenses, as well as an unknown sales volume, cannabis accounts for no revenue incorporated into the proposed budget,” Strategic Communications Manager Laura Maher said.

Maher added that without a clear understanding of projected tax revenue and timing of issuance of a temporary license by the Illinois Gaming Board, no new revenue could be programmed into the 2020 spending plan.

Marijuana Tax Approved

Aldermen proposed a 3-percent tax on recreational marijuana sales Monday, revenue it will begin collecting when substance becomes legal Jan. 1.

The tax on gross sales is the maximum allowed by state law. What the revenue is used for will be up to aldermen.

Recreational marijuana sales will be allowed in Rockford’s C-2, C-3, C-4, lightand heavy-use industrial zones. Those allowances could be modified by aldermen at any time.

Currently, two Rockford businesses have medical-marijuana licenses. MedMar, 2696 McFarland Road, and Mapleglen Care Center, 4777 Stenstrom Road. Mapleglen has applied for a recreational marijuana dispensary permit. MedMar is expected to apply.

Penny Marshall Celebration

There is crying is baseball: Actress talks ‘A League of Their Own’

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD - Although Tom Hanks, as Rockford Peaches Manager Jimmy Dugan, established in the 1992 film “A League of Their Own,” that there is “no crying in baseball,” actress Megan Cavanagh proved otherwise.

Cavanagh, who played slugger Marla Hooch in the movie, was in town last weekend for Rockford’s Penny Marshall Celebration, and hasn’t spent much time watching the film. In fact, she saw it in its entirety for the first time in June during a public showing in Glendale, California. It’s not that she’s had any qualms. She’s just remained focused on her career, one that has now spanned nearly 30 years.

“I cried,” Cavanagh said of the first time she saw the film. “It was amazing watching it 27 years later. We are now the same age as the women who were coaching us for the movie. It’s bizarre going from our late 20s to our late 50s and seeing a whole new generation of young, baseball-playing women

who are coming up and are so good.”

Those women, Cavanagh said, are part of a foundation “A League of Their Own” laid for a movement, a juggernaut in the world of modern sports.

“It helped create leagues and teams and more and more young girls who want to play baseball – not softball,” she said.

As fans of the film know, and perhaps discovered in 1992, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), was a real thing. Formed by Philip K. Wrigley, it operated from 1943 to 1954, it aimed to keep baseball popular in America while men were away in World War II. The Rockford Peaches, also real, played their home games at Beyer Stadium and were the AAGPBL’s most successful team, winning four championships.

But the AAGPBL was more than just a port in the storm during the war. It provided ground-breaking opportunities for more than 500 women – a chance to step out of the stereotypical domestic roles of the time and play professional baseball on

the national stage. Nearly 50 years later, director Penny Marshall came calling with a similar boon.

“The film gave me my career,” Cavanagh said. “It was my first movie, and I haven’t had a job other than acting in many different venues since.”

Cavanagh has had TV and film roles in “Friends”, “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”, “Junior”, “Home Improvement”, and “ER”.

She’s been the voice of Judy Neutron and Sasha Vortex in “Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius” since 2000 and has toured with “Menopause: The Musical” for the past 15 years.

“I’ve been lucky to do television, film, theater and voiceover, and it’s all because of this movie,” the Chicago native said.

“It’s been amazing.”

It turns out there is crying is baseball.

Proceeds of the three-day Penny Marshall Celebration will benefit the International Women’s Baseball Center, a project planned across the street from Beyer Stadium.

Democrats push ahead with short-term bill to avoid shutdown

BY ANDREW TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) – Democrats controlling the House are steering clear of controversy in a short-term, government-wide spending measure that’s needed to prevent a government shutdown at the end of September.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has agreed to a White House request to replenish funds for bailout payments to farmers absorbing heavy losses as a result of President Donald Trump’s trade battles with China. She has also rejected suggestions from House liberals to try to use the must-pass stopgap measure to try to reverse the president’s controversial moves to raid military base construction projects to pay for the border wall.

The temporary spending bill would keep the government running through Nov. 21 and is to be released Tuesday.

House and Senate votes are expected well in advance of the Sept. 30 deadline to avert a shutdown, though its release remained held up over a relatively a relatively minor but complicated set of issues.

The Senate, meanwhile, remains wrapped around the axle in its e�orts to advance the 12 annual spending bills that would fill in the blanks of this summer’s bipartisan budget and debt deal.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has set up a procedural vote for Wednesday on a huge measure to fund the Pentagon, foreign aid, and domestic agencies like the energy and education departments, but Democrats appear likely to filibuster the measure to protest what they say is a raid on health and education programs to pay for more border wall projects. Next steps are unclear at best, and fears are growing that most of the government, including the Defense Department, will have to run on autopilot at current funding levels.

“Of course Democrats oppose taking funds from Congress for our military to use on the president’s border wall. Everyone knows that,” Schumer said Tuesday.

“McConnell has been accusing Democrats of threatening to block military funding because we don’t want to pass a bill that steals money from the military.”

The maneuvering highlights the precarious nature of the summer’s bipartisan budget pact, which combined a two-year increase in the national debt with a set of new spending “caps” to prevent the return of automatic, across-the-board spending cuts to both the Pentagon and domestic federal agencies.

In that agreement, both sides promised to steer clear of controversial provisions that, if included in the bills, would be so politically nettlesome that they would derail the entire process. But Sen. Patty

Murray, D-Wash., upset that education and health programs within her jurisdiction have been shortchanged and angry over a new Trump administration rule banning family planning providers that accept federal funds from counseling women about their abortion options, threatened an amendment to reverse the administration’s abortion “gag rule.”

McConnell said Murray’s amendment – it would have likely passed the Appropriations Committee over opposition from GOP conservatives and the president – would violate the agreement to avoid politically toxic “poison pills,” and the typically bipartisan appropriations process in the Senate ran aground.

A top Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, said that Democrats want allocations they consider to be fairer to social programs and agreements on plotting floor consideration of legislation so they are not at a disadvantage in fighting for their priorities. “We get those things and the poison pills start drifting away,” Durbin said.

The Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday did approve three bipartisan bills funding transportation and housing, the IRS and the Treasury Department, and agriculture programs.

The stopgap measure to fund the government is aimed at buying time for action and negotiations on $1.4 trillion in annual appropriations bills. Some items can’t wait and will be included, like accelerated funding for the 2020 census and $20 million to combat Ebola in Africa.

Since the temporary spending bill is the only must-do legislation on the immediate horizon, lawmakers are using it as a locomotive to haul other priorities into law. That bundle of provisions, negotiated behind closed doors, o�ers plenty of evidence of Capitol Hill’s chronic dysfunction.

It’s not just that the Democraticcontrolled House and GOP-held Senate can’t agree on big issues like infrastructure, guns and health care. They also can’t agree on lower-tier items that typically pass by wide margins, such as short-term extensions of the federal flood insurance program and the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance export deals important to large manufacturers such as The Boeing Co. The House and Senate banking committees are responsible for legislation to reauthorize both the Export-Import Bank and the flood insurance program, which is particularly important to the real estate sector in coastal areas. But there’s been no progress, so temporary extensions of the two programs have been attached to the interim spending bill.

Democrats are deferring a showdown over Trump’s border wall, which sparked a 35-day partial government shutdown at the turn of the year. Democratic leaders opted against trying to use the bill as a way to take on Trump controversies like cutting military base projects to pay for his U.S.-Mexico border wall. But they’re not granting Trump any favors, either, denying provisions such as the flexibility to build new border wall segments.

A new bipar t isan repor t by t he Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released Tuesday found that this year’s shutdown and a more widespread 2013 shuttering of federal agencies cost taxpayers about $4 billion, mostly for back pay for workers who did not work during the shutdowns. Almost 57,000 years of worker productivity were lost, according to the report by Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Tom Carper, D-Del., contributing to piled-high trash at national parks, a suspension of consumer product safety inspections at U.S. ports, and delayed certifications for new aircraft.

IRAN

Trump strains to balance diplomacy, military threat to Iran

BY ROBERT BURNS ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Trump administration tried to balance diplomacy with fresh talk of military action Tuesday in response to the fiery missile and drone attack on the heart of Saudi Arabia’s oil industry – a strike marking the most explosive consequence yet of the “maximum pressure” U.S. economic campaign against Iran.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was headed to Jiddah in Saudi Arabia to discuss possible responses to what U.S. o�cials believe was an attack coming from Iranian soil. President Donald Trump said he’d “prefer not” to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at next week’s U.N. session but “I never rule anything out.”

Iran continued to deny involvement in last weekend’s attack on Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq oil processing plant and its Khurais oil field, a strike that interrupted the equivalent of about 5% of the world’s daily supply. Saudi Arabia’s energy minister said Tuesday that more than half of the country’s daily crude oil production that was knocked out by the attack had been recovered and production capacity at the targeted plants would be fully restored by the end of the month.

The Trump administration was moving cautiously as it navigated competing impulses – seeking to keep up a pressure campaign aimed at forcing Tehran to negotiate on broader issues with the U.S. while deterring any further Iranian attacks and avoiding another Middle East war. It all was occurring as the administration deals with a host of other foreign policy issues and has no national security adviser, following the recent ouster of John Bolton.

Echoing Trump’s warning from earlier in the week, Vice President Mike Pence said American forces were “locked and loaded” for war if needed. But he also noted that Trump said he doesn’t want war with Iran or anyone else.

“As the president said yesterday, it’s ‘certainly looking like’ Iran was behind

A 7-WEEK PROGRAM FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR QUALIFIED PARTICIPANTS NIMS CREDENTIALS

these attacks,” Pence said. “And our intelligence community at this very hour is working diligently to review the evidence.”

The analysts’ task was to connect the dots provided by satellite data and other highly classified intelligence with physical evidence from the scene of the attack, which American-provided Saudi defenses had failed to stop.

Fourteen months before voters will decide on Trump’s reelection, he is increasingly mindful of his 2016 campaign promises, including his pledge to bring American troops home after nearly two decades of continuous war.

But he also promised to apply fresh pressure on Iran, a pledge complicated by the latest apparent provocation. The at-times divergent messages from his administration, o�cials say, mirror internal sta� divisions and even the president’s own hesitations.

“You know, I’m not looking to get into new conflict,” Trump said Monday, “but sometimes you have to.”

Aides say he’s taking a prudent pause.

“The president’s being cautious, and if he were banging the gong today about Iran being the culprit, inevitably, without presenting the case to the American people, everyone would be saying he’s a warmonger,” said White House spokesman Hogan Gidley.

The crisis comes amid upheaval in Trump’s national security team. His national security adviser, Bolton, departed earlier this month after policy clashes, including disagreements over how best to pressure Iran into returning to the negotiating table on its nuclear and missile programs.

Iran’s alleged involvement in a recent series of provocations in the Gulf coincides with key moments in the unraveling of the country’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, from which Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. in May of last year. That was followed by a U.S. economic sanctions campaign, dubbed “maximum pressure,” that has cut o� much of Iran’s international

oil exports.

Iran, in turn, has said that no one will be able to export oil from the region if Tehran can’t In e�ect, the country has answered Trump’s economic warfare with its own version – attacks on economic targets that have been audacious but thus far not caused casualties.

Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Sta�, said Tuesday that U.S. military experts were in Saudi Arabia working with counterparts to “do the forensics on the attack” – gleaning evidence that could help build a convincing case for where the weapons originated.

Speaking to reporters in London, Dunford noted – as Trump had on Monday – that the attack was not aimed at the United States or U.S. forces. Therefore, he said, no steps were being taken to beef up the U.S. military presence in the Gulf region, which includes air defense forces and support troops at Prince Sultan Air Base south of the Saudi capital of Riyadh.

The U.S. Navy has an aircraft carrier battle group in the area and fighter and bomber aircraft elsewhere in the Gulf.

A senior administration o�cial said the U.S. sees a role to play for the U.N. Security Council, which was created to address threats to international peace and security. The U.S. believes the attack meets that threshold, but the administration first needs to “gather the releasable” information and intelligence it has collected about the strike, according to the o�cial, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the attacks and spoke only on condition of anonymity. The security council meets next week in New York.

Jon Alterman, director of the Middle East program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Trump must fashion a response to Iran that fits his administration’s stated priority of shifting from decades of insurgency warfare in Afghanistan and the Middle East to better position the U.S. for more serious international conflict.

“The military’s instinct is increasingly

that you can continue to pour resources into confronting Iran, but you’re never going to fix the problem and, most importantly, you’re taking resources away from confronting the real threats to the United States, which are China and Russia,” he said.

Trump also faces a skeptical Congress.

A bipartisan group of House members on Monday called for new language in 2020 defense spending bills that would prevent the president from starting a war with Iran without congressional authorization.

Pence met behind closed doors on Capitol Hill with Senate Republicans, and lawmakers were reviewing classified intelligence about the attack. Some Republican senators said a three-page document shared with Congress is convincing that Iran was behind the attack.

Sen. Ron Joh nson, a Wisconsin Republican, said he was “100 percent convinced” it was Iran.

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Trump ally, said the president is trying to build a regional coalition before any action.

“I think the appropriate response would be to knock one of the refineries in Iran out of business,” Graham told reporters. He has spoken to the president and expects more information at an “appropriate time.”

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, a member of the Armed Services Committee, acknowledged the intelligence is “pretty good” that there’s an Iran connection, but he warned the Trump administration o� a military response.

“The administration is lying to the American people when they say it was an unprovoked attack,” Kaine said, arguing the U.S. imposed sanctions and other withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal are provoking Iran’s behavior.

“We should not go to war to protect Saudi oil, but we should not go to another war that’s premised upon lying to the American public,” Kaine said.

INSULIN LEGISLATION

State lawmakers seek to cap insulin prices Sponsors argue rising prices putting lives at risk

BY PETER HANCOCK

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS PHANCOCK@CAPITOLNEWSILLINOIS.COM

SPRINGFIELD – Ten years ago, Megan Blair was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

“I remember standing at the pharmacy counter with my mom,” she said. “When the pharmacist rang up the prescription, he let us know that the 30-day supply of insulin that I needed would be about $800.

I looked at my mom and my mom looked at me.”

Blair, who is now 27 and lives in Harristown, about eight miles west of Decatur, is one of an estimated 1.3 million people in Illinois coping with diabetes, as well as the high cost of keeping it under control.

“Come to find out that the fact that I was diagnosed as a Type 1 insulin-dependent person wouldn’t be the hardest battle I would have to face the rest of my life,” she said. “Trying to make a living, have a family and learn how to come up with $800 a month on insulin to keep me alive would actually be the biggest challenge of my life.”

Blair spoke Tuesday at a news conference in Springfield surrounded by Democratic state lawmakers who are pushing for a bill that would bring down the out-of-pocket cost for insulin for many, but not all, diabetes patients in Illinois.

“The cost of insulin clearly is breaking families that we represent,” said state Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, one of the main sponsors of a bill that would cap the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $100 for a 30-day supply.

“Ultimately what has to happen is our Congress and our president have to act on the runaway cost of pharmaceutical drugs,” Manar said. “Senate Bill 667 (Amendment 1), we hope, addresses an issue immediately in Illinois and serves as a stepping stone to a larger reform.”

Manar and fellow-Democrat Rep. Will Guzzardi, of Chicago, introduced the language of the bill in late May, and they hope to see it passed during the upcoming veto session that begins Oct. 28.

The bill comes on the heels of unsuccessful attempts during the regular spring session to impose even tighter controls on the cost of prescription drugs across the board in Illinois, proposals that met sti� opposition from the pharmaceutical industry.

The new bill, Manar said, focuses exclusively on insulin because of the scope of the problem and the number of people it a�ects.

Citing figures from the Health Care Cost Institute, Manar said the average price of insulin in the United States nearly doubled between 2012 and 2016, rising to 25 cents per unit. For someone using an average amount of 60 units per day, that translates to an increase from $7.80 a day to $15 a day.

ASK HOW TO GET

THE NEXT GENERATION GALAXY S10e FREE

That’s a significantly higher cost than what people in other countries pay for the same drug. Manar noted that a single vial of one common form of insulin, Humalog, costs $20 in Japan and $31.60 in Canada.

But in the United States, it costs $135.50, in large part because drug costs are subsidized in countries that have national health insurance systems.

“Insulin isn’t optional,” said Rep. Sue Scherer, D-Decatur. “It’s life-or-death for people, and it is so totally unfair that people are having to choose between insulin and food for themselves or their family.”

Blair said she is among many diabetes patients who routinely ration their insulin doses, taking less than the recommended dose, in order to stretch out their supply, something that often results in subsequent hospitalization.

“And not just the easy trip to the emergency room,” she said. “It usually ended up with a two- or three-day stay in the (intensive care unit).”

Leroy Jordan, 77, of Springfield, said he also struggles with the cost of insulin to treat his Type 1 diabetes. He said he was a grown adult when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile, or insulin-dependent diabetes, a form of the disease that usually appears during childhood but which can develop later in life.

“This cost thing is just terrible,” he said.

“When youngsters are born with diabetes, we that have it later in life kind of say, ‘Oh

boy, I’m very fortunate.’ But it’s killing us too.”

Senate Bill 667 would not lower the cost of insulin for all patients in Illinois. It would apply only to those on publicly-funded health plans – primarily Medicare, Medicaid and the state employee health plan. Supporters of the bill were not immediately able to say how many people that would cover, but it would not cover people on private employer-based health plans because those are regulated under federal law.

In a statement, Ti�any Haverly, spokesperson for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, a group that lobbies for the pharmaceutical industry, did not comment specifically on the bill.

But she said the industry sympathizes with patients struggling to a�ord their medications and that support is available in the form of discounts and rebates to those who cannot a�ord their drugs.

“In addition to supporting commonsense solutions to lower Illinoisans’ out-of-pocket costs, PhRMA recently launched a new tool – the Medicine Assistance Tool, or MAT – to connect eligible patients with over 900 public and private assistance programs,” she said.

“We encourage any patient struggling to a�ord their medicines to visit mat.org to see what resources might be available to them.”

TV’s big week

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

It’s a big week in the TV world.

I was reminded of that yesterday when one of my editors at Emmy magazine called to discuss an assignment I’m working on for him. While he was talking, someone came up to his desk to ask a pressing question about parking issues connected with the big event, which takes place Sunday.

I was impressed by the editor’s ability to focus on his magazine duties amidst the second week of pre-awards activities – the two-night Creative Arts Emmys ceremony was held last weekend (an edited version of the Creative Arts awards will air Saturday, September 21 at 7 p.m. CT on FXX) and the 71st Emmy Awards will be broadcast live Sunday, September 22 starting at 7 p.m. CT on Fox. And right after the awards, the editorial

staff will compile the magazine’s annual photo issue documenting the events, the winners, and even some of the after parties.

This also happens to be a week when a slew of your favorite series return for new seasons.

While there are several returning series I’m looking forward, the one at the top of my list is 9-1-1, which centers on the lives of Los Angeles’ first responders. The large ensemble cast includes Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Aisha Kinds, and Kenneth Choi, and the drama has a wonderfully absurd comedic element which usually surfaces as the police, firefighters, and EMTs encounter plenty of strange situations. 9-1-1 returns Monday, September 23 at 7 p.m. CT on Fox. Despite how manipulative the twists and turns of the first season on finale

of New Amsterdam were, they worked.

While it was obvious that Max (Ryan Eggold) survived the ambulance crash, the fates of his wife (Lisa O’Hare), already in critical condition, and doctors Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) and Bloom (Janet Montgomery) were unknown. We saw a sheet pulled over a victim who did not survive, but it wasn’t obvious who it was. This is the first medical drama I’ve felt could become a worthy successor to my favorite hospital drama of all time, St. Elsewhere. They jury is still out on that, but season two of New Amsterdam returns Tuesday, September 24 at 9 p.m.

CT on NBC. Looking for laughs with a side order of philosophy? The fourth and final season of The Good Place returns to NBC Thursday, September 26. Each season of this ingenious comedy series, set in

the afterlife, finds its main characters – Eleanor (Kristen Bell), Chidi (William Jackson Harper), Michael (Ted Danson), Tahani (Jameela Jamil), Jason (Manny Jacinto) and Janet (D’Arcy Carden)—in a new conundrum. Last season they learned the points system that determines who goes to the Good Place and who goes to the Bad Place is broken. It looks as it this season they’ll be testing that system.

One of the new shows I’m looking forward to is ABC’S Stumptown – premiering Wednesday, September 25, at 9 p.m.

CT. The drama stars Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) as a tough-but-troubled Army veteran working as a private investigator in Portland. I’m hoping her superb comedic timing (and sarcasm) will give Stumptown the same balance of humor and drama that that I love in all of the returning shows mentioned above.

SwedishAmerican adds six new providers Staff Report

RO C K FOR D - S we d i sh A m e r i c a n recently welcomed six new health care providers to its network of clinics.

Lisa L arson, Adv anced Pract ice Registered Nurse After holding positions at SwedishAmerican’s Center For Women APRN Lisa Larson is now at the North Main Clinic. Working with Dr. Susan DeGuide and Dr. Linda Razbadouski, Lisa provides gynecology and urogynecology services to women of all ages, including annual exams, family planning and contraception, and treatment for urinary incontinence and menopause.

while preserving quality of life through non-invasive treatments.”

I hope to go the extra mile for my patients.”

US stock indexes edge up as oil gives up half of its spurt

By Stan Choe and Damian J. Troise Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) – U.S. stock indexes ticked closer to record heights on Tuesday, but the modest moves belied plenty of churning underneath.

Oil prices and energy stocks slumped to give back nearly half of their huge gains from a day earlier. Rising prices for technology stocks and companies that sell to consumers, though, more than made up for those losses. Treasury yields fell a second straight day as the Federal Reserve opened a two-day meeting on interest rates, where investors expect it to announce a cut for the second time in as many months.

The S&P 500 rose 7.74 points, or 0.3%, to 3,005.70. It’s back to within 0.7% of its record set in late July.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 33.98, or 0.1%, to 27,110.80, and the Nasdaq composite gained 32.47, or 0.4%, to 8,186.02.

“We’re drifting here a little bit,” said David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial. “It’s interesting to me, and somewhat encouraging, that the market has held up near its all-time highs

despite all these concerns.”

The newest of those concerns arrived this past weekend, when an attack on a Saudi Arabian oil facility raised the risk of major disruptions to the world’s oil supply. Crude surged more than 14% on Monday, about as much as it did when Iraq invaded Kuwait before the 1991 Gulf War, and concern rose that spiraling oil prices would act as a huge, de facto tax imposed around the world.

But benchmark U.S. crude slumped $3.56 to $59.34 per barrel Tuesday, giving up close to half of its surge from a day earlier.

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister said that half of the production cut by the attack has already been restored. Brent crude, the international standard, fell $4.47 to $64.55.

That led to a 1.5% loss for energy stocks in the S&P 500, the sharpest among the 11 sectors that make up the index. Marathon Oil dropped 7.8%, and oilfield services provider Halliburton gave up 6.5%.

The drop in oil, though, helped companies carrying big fuel bills recoup some of their sharp losses from the day before.

American Airlines Group rose 3.1%, for example, and clawed back about 40% of its loss from Monday.

Technology stocks also made modest gains, including Microsoft’s 0.8% rise and Micron Technology’s 1.4% climb.

Stocks that pay big dividends, including utilities and real-estate investment trusts, were among the market’s leaders as a drop in interest rates made their payouts more attractive.

Investors still largely expect the Fed to cut short-term interest rates by another quarter of a percentage point Wednesday.

The central bank cut rates in late July for the first time in more than a decade as it tries to shield the United States from the pain of a slowing global economy and the effects of the trade war with China.

Several economic reports have come in recently that are “good enough” to mean it’s no longer a slam dunk that the Fed will cut rates Wednesday, Ameriprise’s Joy said. Tensions in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies, which has been the No. 1 concern for investors around the world, have seemed to diminish a bit recently, and representatives from Washington and Beijing are scheduled to talk next month. But Joy and many others still expect the Fed to cut Wednesday and perhaps

again later this year, similar to the trio of cuts it implemented in 1995-1996 and again in 1998 as part of a “mid-cycle adjustment” in the 1991-2001 economic expansion.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.80% from 1.84% late Monday. The two-year yield, which is more heavily influenced by changes in Fed policy, fell to 1.72% from 1.75%.

Wholesale gasoline fell 8 cents to $1.68 per gallon. Heating oil declined 9 cents to $1.99 per gallon. Natural gas fell 1 cent to $2.67 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Gold rose $1.90 to $1,513.40 per ounce, and silver rose 11 cents to $18.14 per ounce.

Copper fell 1 cent to $2.63 per pound.

The dollar rose to 108.20 Japanese yen from 108.05 yen on Monday. The euro strengthened to $1.1066 from $1.1006.

In markets abroad, France’s CAC 40 rose 0.2%, and Germany’s DAX lost 0.1%. The FTSE 100 in London was virtually flat.

Japan’s Nikkei 225 added 0.1%, and South Korea’s Kospi was virtually flat.

The Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 1.2% after credit-rating agency Moody’s downgraded Hong Kong, citing its recent political turmoil.

RACVB View

The Olympic Table Tennis Trials Are Coming to Town!

Table tennis paddle Rockford Area CVB

Table Tennis. Ping Pong. Whatever you call it, you can’t deny the competition that is sparked during a game. Suddenly, the outside world vanishes and the only thing that matters is beating your opponent into oblivion. Whether it’s to determine who will buy the next round at the bar, who will have to post an embarrassing photo on Facebook, or who will receive the glorified bragging rights - you better bring your A game!

Most of us probably just consider table tennis a fun thing to play at a party. But for others, it’s much more personal. Table tennis has actually been a part of the Olympics since 1988, and on Saturday, October 5 Rockford will be hosting the 2019 North American Olympic Table Tennis Trials. The Trials will consist of both the men’s and women’s teams from Team USA and Team Canada going head-to-head in a series of matches. Teams will consist of three players (one reserve per team) and will play best three of five matches.

Overall winners will qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. This is a huge milestone in Rockford’s sports tourism history, as this marks the first time since 2012 that the North American Olympic Table Tennis Trials have been held in the U.S. To celebrate the Olympic Trials coming to Rockford, the RACVB will be hosting a variety of pre-events throughout the community.

2019 RKFD LOOP is a four-stop recreational bar league qualifying series held at participating locations every Thursday in September! Qualifier winners will advance to semi-finals and the championship at BMO Harris Bank Center to crown the 2019 RKFD REC-PONG Champion! The 2019 RKFD LOOP has free entry and giveaways, and consists of a 16-person draw.

The next RKFD LOOP stops will be held at The Olympic Tavern on September 19 at 7 p.m., and District Bar & Grill on September 26 at 7 p.m.

CITY MARKET CELEBRITY SMASH is an eight-person local celebrity table tennis

tournament! This event will be held at the Indoor Market at Rockford City Market on September 20 at 5:30 p.m.

RALLY RKFD Presented by Northwest Bank of Rockford is a free, all-ages pre-game festival for the Olympic Trials!

The festival will consist of recreational ping pong, food and beverage vendors, a live DJ, bouncy houses and street hockey. In addition, RALLY RKFD Presented by Northwest Bank of Rockford will have a ceremonial ping pong ball drop located in the center of the festival! Individuals who purchase ping pong balls will have the chance to win prizes at the festival! $5 for a single ball and $20 for a five-pack. RALLY RKFD Presented by Northwest Bank of Rockford will be held on Saturday, October 5 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and located at State and Main Streets in Downtown Rockford.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Addressing the world’s greatest market failure

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

Taking notes on an uneven garden season

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

The common refrain from backyard growers is that every season is di�erent.

This particular season has been much more uneven than some years. In speaking with growers this year, some tell me that they had one of the best crops of pumpkins while someone else tells me that they lost their entire pumpkin crop. I can tell you that the tomatoes I have grown this year were late by 5-6 weeks even with planting around the same time as I usually do. I planted daikon radish/tillage radish as a cover crop on August 1st and it is one of the most impressive stands I’ve yet to grow. So, my season has been uneven too.

Much of the blame for this season can be on three di�erent events. A very cold January and February meant that stone fruit like peaches and cherries did not produce.

Next, cold weather in April hit apple buds resulting in some varieties not yielding and/or loss of more buds than usual. Finally, the wet June meant that summer vegetables were delayed or negatively impacted.

What went well? Most cool season vegetables did pretty well this season. The rainy June came at a time when many of these crops were just beginning to slow down

and close their season. Late plantings of crops did well too. If you were not able to get your summer crops in during May and pushed it to end of June, you may have found that your crops did much better. One backyard grower I spoke with shared that they planted zucchini in mid-July due to crop failure and are now harvesting great looking zucchini.

Now is a good time to log how this season went for you. Keeping records of both good and bad performance in the backyard garden will mean that you are prepared for the 2020 growing season. I make notes of the performance of new varieties I try out. For example, I grew ‘Sugar Baby’ watermelon in 2018 and while it did not grow too well for me due to a rainy June, I didn’t grow it in 2019 because the variety had a lot of seeds in it. This summer, I grew ‘Mtn Merit’, a red tomato bred from North Carolina State University with disease resistance. I observed that it grew well but was late in producing red tomatoes.

Climate change has been called the world’s greatest market failure. In 2018, the International Panel on Climate Change declared we had 12 years left to address the problem if we are going to keep average global temperatures from rising more than 1.5°C or 2.7°F to meet the goal of the Paris Agreement. Carbon emissions from human activities would have to reach net zero by 2050.

The hope is that we will get a good start cutting carbon emissions in the 2020 decade in order to reach the goal of 2050.

It represents a dramatic reduction in fossil fuels use; the longer we wait to address the problem the higher the costs of meeting it will be.

The costs of damages associated with rising levels of global carbon dioxide levels accumulating in the environment are climbing each year due to global inaction.

Damages associated with large scale forest fires, hurricanes, heavy rains, powerful wind storms and droughts show up as damages that cannot be quickly repaired. Some costs show up as insurance claims but not all damages are covered by insurance. Beyond the costs in human infrastructure are the unknown costs inflicted on the human spirit.

Some of the human costs are showing up in the increasingly pessimistic writings regarding potential decreases in human wellbeing registered as falling standards of living and the frustrations involved in trying to assess what sort of actions individuals and society can take to address deteriorating global environmental conditions.

A lot of faith is being placed in the role that energy e�ciency, renewable energy, geothermal energy and electrified transportation can play in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Of course fossil fuel interests have been highly resistant to the transition to renewable energy and the loss of their markets, profits and jobs associated with their fuels.

To correct the market failure from fossil fuel users dumping their waste on society, some economists have argued for putting a price on carbon. If implemented on a global

Curiosity in the

Corn

scale, such an action would have the e�ect of raising the costs of using fossil fuels while accelerating a transition to using more environmentally and economically sustainable forms of energy. There are two basic approaches to raising the price of fossil fuel energy. One is to place a carbon tax on fossil fuels and use the money to fund renewable energy sources. The other is to create a cap and trade program as has been done in Europe and California. But either approach assumes that an appropriate price will result from the actions so that carbon reductions are su�cient to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

So far two leading factors are contributing to the increasingly pessimistic writings on climate change. One is that the increasing use of renewable energy sources is being o�set by rising levels of carbon releases; few nations around the globe are meeting their stated goals on reduction in carbon releases. The second is that the speed with which climate change is occurring is accelerating.

An increasing number of people, corporations and units of government are contributing to e�orts to address climate change. Not satisfied with the slow rate of change occurring, a new organization in the UK known as the Extinction Rebellion assumes that based on the science of climate change something drastic has to happen within the next 10 years in order to avoid a global social collapse because of rampant climate change. Recently heiress Aileen Getty, granddaughter of J. Paul Getty who made his fortune in oil, contributed the equivalent of $600,000 to fund the e�orts of the Extinction Rebellion. She considers social disruption as necessary for climate action to progress. After a declaration of rebellion was declared against the UK government 6,000 activists peacefully blocked five major bridges across the River Thames.

The movement is global and has spread to the United States with 50 groups, including in Chicago and Madison, currently in support of it. A Global Youth Strike is set for September 20th with other actions through September 27th. Events are also set for October 7th and 14th.

Emmy Predictions: Amid newcomers, will ‘Thrones’ slay again?

By Lynn Elber and Mark Kennedy Associated Press

In the Way Too Much TV Era, it truly is an honor just to be nominated.

Imagine that you’re working on a television series, one of the many actors, writers and others who give daily thanks for the rise of cable and streaming that has led to gazillions – at least – of shows and growing employment opportunities. Then, besides the possibility of at least your mom spotting you in the vast video sea, you learn that your peers watched and, hallelujah, decreed you Emmy worthy.

Who needs to win? Every nominee, of course, who would prefer to avoid being an also-ran smiling bravely for the cameras.

There’s also the producers of the Sept.

22 Emmy Awards ceremony and Fox, the network airing it, with an event to sell.

“Game of Thrones,” ‘’Veep” and “When They See Us” look like front-runners but the outcome is anyone’s guess. AP Television Writer Lynn Elber and Entertainment Writer Mark Kennedy’s offer theirs in the top categories.

DRAMA SERIES

ELBER: Should win: “Pose.” An opulent, cleareyed embrace of the late-20th-century LGBTQ ballroom scene deserves its due.

Will win: “Game of Thrones.” A landmark show that brought cinematic sweep to TV gets a big farewell, finale naysayers be damned.

KENNEDY: Should win: Agreed on “Pose,” a loving look at a world that has never been celebrated on TV before, starring the largest LGBTQ cast ever for a scripted series.

Will win: “Pose” is up against the behemoth “Game of Thrones,” which triggered parodies and homages, memes and talk

show publicity. Even the president tried to co-opt its tagline “Winter Is Coming.”

The Emmy is coming.

COMEDY SERIES

ELBER: Should win: “Fleabag.” Such shocking sexual abandon and emotional dysfunction is downright un-American. Three cheers for this British invasion!

Will win: “Veep.” A three-for-three winner won’t be defeated in its last hurrah, especially when politics are all the rage.

KENNEDY: Should win: The second season of “Fleabag” – with a woman resisting her feelings for a priest – and the debut of “Russian Doll” – in which a New Yorker keeps reliving the night of her 36th birthday – were deeply worthy of wins for writing and originality.

Will win: “Veep,” the safe and more popular choice. But Emmy voters may learn to regret this predictable decision.

ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES

ELBER: Should win: Billy Porter, “Pose.” The Tony-winning actor’s performance, by turns brassy, tender and brave, anchors the sprawling drama.

Will win: Billy Porter. He found the TV role he deserved and gets the award he earned.

KENNEDY: Should win: Yes, yes, yes. Porter is always the best thing in whatever he’s in and he’s truly fierce in “Pose.” But did enough people watch?

Will win: Kit Harington, buffeted by the waves of “Game of Thrones” nostalgia, will give a knightly farewell to Jon Snow with a statuette.

ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES

ELBER: Should win: Sandra Oh, “Killing Eve.” A tour-de-force performance of vulnerability and, to her character’s dismay, brutality.

Will win: Sandra Oh. Deserved, history-making recognition as she becomes the first actress of Asian descent to win a lead actress trophy. Also makes up for her five “Grey’s Anatomy” supporting nods without wins.

KENNEDY: Should win: The mouse to Sandra Oh’s cat – Jodie Comer. She has, criminally, not earned enough recognition for her special brand of killer.

Will win: Sandra Oh. Especially since there’s no Claire Foy from “The Crown” to ruin her night.

ACTOR, COMEDY SERIES

ELBER: Should win: Bill Hader, “Barry.” His scarily winning portrayal of a hit man with a Hollywood dream was voted tops last year and remains deserving.

Will win: Michael Douglas, “The Kominsky Method.” The movie star’s inner comedian comes out and plays, wowing Emmy voters.

KENNEDY: Should win: Hader already has his Emmy.

Douglas won a Golden Globe for “The Kominsky Method.” The Emmy should go to Anthony Anderson, the beating heart of “black-ish,” who makes lovingly exasperated completely hysterical but has been overlooked too long.

Will win: The award clearly will go to Eugene Levy, who is a comedic treasure and rightfully should be showered with awards. His last Emmy was in 1983. It’s time, people.

ACTRESS, COMEDY SERIES

ELBER: Should win: Catherine O’Hara, “Schitt’s Creek.” Consider it a lifetime achievement award, with her delectably self-absorbed, absurd Moira topping her inventive catalog of characters (and yes, I’m including the Christopher Guest films. Movies, TV – it’s all the same now).

Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep.”

The queen of TV comedy (“Seinfeld,” ‘’The New Adventures of Old Christine,” this) will add a record-setting ninth Emmy to her haul, breaking a tie with Cloris Leachman for most-honored performer ever.

KENNEDY: Should win: Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who in “Fleabag” needs only to look over her shoulder at us, lower her eyes and convey everything that’s churning in her complex mind.

Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Who is silly enough to vote against her?

LIMITED SERIES

ELBER: Should win: “When They See Us.” The superb cast, the unsparing writing, the dismaying currency of a 20-year-old case’s implications for American justice and racial inequality demand an Emmy.

Will win: “W hen They See Us.” “Chernobyl” is a deeply worthy competitor, but Emmy voters put domestic concerns first.

KENNEDY: Should win: In many ways, this category represented the best of TV this season — “Chernobyl,” ‘’Escape at Dannemora,” ‘’Fosse/Verdon,” ‘’When They See Us” and “Sharp Objects.” Any is a worthy winner.

Will win: “When They See Us,” perhaps the best of this exciting category. It had searing acting, harrowing circumstances and brilliant writing.

ARIES

Even if you’ve just gone back to work, you’re already bored of the routine and need a change. Make a plan and start to take the neces­ sary steps. Slowly but surely, you’ll get there. This daring idea will prove profitable in the long run.

TAURUS

It’s easier to get along with peo­ ple you don’t have an emotional connection to. One of your chil­ dren will lack discipline and try your patience this week. Always a diplomat, you’ll succeed in re­ solving a big conflict.

GEMINI

There will be lots of details to keep track of this week. At work, you’ll be in charge of organizing an event that brings people to­ gether, but some will be hard to get in touch with. Be patient, they’ll call you back eventually.

CANCER

At work or in your personal life, your leadership skills are required.

You’ll work hard to make two dif­ ferent groups come to an agree­ ment. You’ll be considered a hero for saving the situation, and others will be grateful for your bravery.

LEO

One of your kids may make you late, causing you to rush to make it to your appointments on time.

Now that the kids are leaving the nest, the family home is too big.

It may be time to downsize.

VIRGO

You’ll be on the move this week.

Whether it’s at work or in your family, there will be lots of confu­ sion to clear up. A shocking secret may be revealed. New friendships will spontaneously develop.

LIBRA

You’ll finally get the financing you’ve been waiting for to get a big project started. You may want to start a small business at home or with a family member. Your inspiration and intuition will show you which path to follow.

SCORPIO

There’s lots going on, but you may still have the feeling that things aren’t advancing quickly enough.

You’ll have some spectacular ideas to propose and your lover will be the first to be impressed.

SAGITTARIUS

Your health may slow you down a little. Use this time to step back and make a plan for your future, both professionally and person­ ally. Your spirituality will become more important to you.

CAPRICORN

Your stress levels will be high, but you’ll use the resulting increase in energy to become more efficient.

When your back is to the wall, magic happens. It will be love at first sight, but if you’re not single, you’ll be left confused.

AQUARIUS

At work, you’ll be given new re­ sponsibilities that don’t necessar­ ily match your skills. Happily, it’s what you need to propel you to­ wards a big promotion. You’ll also get the go ahead to take on a new and exciting project.

PISCES

Death notices are provided by the Winnebago County Coroner’s office.

Seeing students hit the books in­ spires you to go back to school yourself. Your new skills will offer you better opportunities in the fu­ ture. A romantic getaway will put the spark back in your relationship.

WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 15 TO 21, 2019 THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

CANCER, LEO AND VIRGO Horoscope

ARIES

ARIES

TAURUS

TAURUS

GEMINI

GEMINI

Crowds, responsibilities and stress will dominate a big part of the week. Try to relax — if you don’t, your health will suffer. Unwin­ ding will do you much good.

Even if your schedule is full of professional and personal obliga­ tions, take some time to discon­ nect and visit good friends you haven’t seen lately. Happy hour with colleagues will be worthwhile.

If your relationship has been ne­ glected due to one or both of you working overtime, you’ll want to take a trip to get the spark back.

A family conflict will finally be resolved.

CANCER

There will be lots of excitement in the air this week. Your child’s accomplishment (their first steps or a graduation, for example) will make you emotional.

LEO

You’ll weigh the pros and cons for a long time before making a big decision. Gather all the infor­ mation necessary and then let your intuition guide you. If you’ve been single for a long time, you may receive a marriage proposal.

VIRGO

You’ll need to make a decision without having all the required in­ formation. Rely on your judgment and stay away from long­term pay­ ment plans to avoid stress.

There will be an interesting offer concerning your career. Even if it’s your dream job, take the time to talk about it with those closest to you before making a decision.

As soon as you’re open to it, love will arrive as if by magic.

You have a busy social life. Con­ sider including your lover in your different activities so that the two of you can reconnect. Your team will need your guidance at work.

CANCER

The phone won’t stop ringing this week. Sometimes your clients will need your services and at other times, your friends will need your attention. If you’re single, love will find you where you least expect it.

LEO

You may decide to buy a new car.

Be patient while negotiating the price; the seller will come back to you with a better offer. A sponta­ neous trip may be on the horizon.

At work, you’ll have the support of your team.

There’s lots of work ahead and many details to attend to. You’ll also finalize a deal or settle a dis­ pute that will require your leader­ ship. You’ll be proud of this and may receive accolades for your efforts.

VIRGO

LIBRA

Changes are afoot in your rela­ tionship as well as at home and work. Let emotions pass before making any major decisions. Spon­ taneity isn’t always the best ap­ proach; some decisions should be carefully considered.

Put your best face forward. Take the time to spoil yourself, rebuild your wardrobe or even change your look completely. You’ll im­ prove yourself in some way and attract attention thanks to your confidence and charm.

SCORPIO

You’ll devote much of your time to your family and/or home. You may also take up a regular acti­ vity with a friend that allows you to let loose and have fun. Nego­ tiations with certain people may be drawn out.

When calculating your budget, you’ll realize that you can afford a tropical getaway or a romantic es­ capade for your next vacation.

Changes at work will be profitable.

LIBRA

SCORPIO

You’ll be persuaded by your friends to treat yourself. You’ll decide to take better care of your looks, thanks to advice from a good friend. Your health will im­ prove when there’s less stress in your life.

SAGITTARIUS

You won’t hold your tongue, even if you’re sometimes misunderstood.

Lead by example so your words are clear. Affection is part of a healthy and stable relationship.

You’ll be the focus of attention for one reason or another this week. You’ll take care of a group that will pay tribute to you, or at least appreciate the work you did. You won’t wait much longer for a promotion.

CAPRICORN

CAPRICORN

SAGITTARIUS

There will be unexpected expen­ ses this week. However, you’ll be able to negotiate a loan from the bank to avoid straining your bud­ get. Sometimes, you need to gain the upper hand before someone helps you out.

You’ll consider buying a house if there’s a change in your family.

You’ll hear about a birth from one of your loved ones that will make you very happy. You must be delicate when dealing with sen­ sitive people.

AQUARIUS

AQUARIUS

It’s a busy week, and you’ll ac­ complish something that people will talk about for a long time to come. Make yourself available for a family member that needs your support. After restructuring at work, you’ll come out ahead.

You’ll have lots to talk about this week. At work, you’ll constantly find yourself in the midst of con­ versations that help expand your professional network and social circle. A new friend will take you on an exciting adventure.

PISCES

You’ll find a brilliant way to get yourself out of a complicated fi­ nancial situation. You’re a mas­ ter of persuasion and soon have everyone on your side. In your relationship, better communica­ tion is needed to get the affec­ tion you desire.

Think before starting any new project now. You’re not the type to listen to opinions, even when your decisions affect others. It would do you good to develop a sense of team spirit, especially in your relationship.

I s r a e l K a m a k a w i w o ’o l e ’ s strings

CHA MPAIGN, Ill. (AP) – Eastern Michigan coach Chris Creighton clearly enjoyed the postgame media gathering following his team’s impressive last-second 34-31 road win over Illinois on Saturday.

“I love this team,” he said, smiling. “I mean, wow. What a great bunch of guys.”

Creighton had good reason to be joyous.

Chad Ryland booted a 24-yard field goal as time expired to give the Eagles their third win over a Big Ten team, following victories against Rutgers in 2017 and Purdue in 2018.

Mike Glass was 23 of 36 for 316 yards and three touchdowns to lead EMU (2-1).

Jarius Grissom rushed three times for 52 yards, while Willie Parker had 23 yards on 11 carries and a touchdown.

“Awesome, awesome day for our program,” Creighton said. “Our defense played well. We knew we weren’t going to shut them out, because they are really good, but we did what we needed to. Our guys just executed.”

Brandon Peterson was 22 of 37 for 297 yards passing, two touchdowns and an interception for Illinois (2-1). Reggie Corbin, who sat out the last game with a hip pointer, carried the ball 18 times for 144 yards for the Illini.

“A lot of people need to do a better job, including me,” said Illinois coach Lovie Smith. “We didn’t play our best today, but we have a lot to build on. We’re a 2-1 football team, so we’ve done some good things.

Next week (against conference foe Nebraska) will be a better indicator of where we are.”

GOOD START

In a first-half shoot-out, both teams showed plenty of offense and periods of ineffective defense. The Eagles rushed for 93 yards and Glass was 11 of 20 for 183 yards and three touchdowns, while Illinois rushed for 76 yards and Peters went 13 of 17 for 164 yards and one TD. “One positive? We were down by 14 points at one point and still managed to get ourselves into a position to win the game,”

Smith said. “We have to maintain a sense of consistency, in both halves, whether it’s running, passing or on defense.”

TOUGH END

Illinois was still in the hunt with less than three minutes left after tying the game at 31 on a 36-yard touchdown pass from Peters to Josh Imatorbhebhe.

But Glass, who looked calm and collected all day, methodically put his team in a position to win with a 23-yard pass to Dylan Drummond followed by a 13-yard run by Breck Turner. Ryland then trotted onto the field with one second left for the game winner.

THE BATTLE UP FRONT

“They beat us up front,” Smith said of his Illini. “It’s a one-on-one battle out there, and the losing team doesn’t win that battle.

That was us today.”

Creighton credited hard work and preparation for his team’s win. “We definitely had a better week of practice this week,” he said. “We prepared hard. Our team believes, and that’s deep and very powerful when it comes to a game like this.”

THE TAKEAWAY

EMU: Good win for Creighton’s team, which came in as the underdog and which has a habit of upsetting Power Five teams (Rutgers and Purdue in the past two seasons).

Illinois: Ugly loss for the Illini. The offense played essentially half a game, and the defense was suspect all afternoon.

Smith took over as defensive coordinator after Hardy Nickerson left last October, and has said it would be his number-one priority. But there remains considerable work to be done before conference play begins next week in a prime-time game against Nebraska.

UP NEXT

EMU: Hosts Central Connecticut State next Saturday.

Illinois: Hosts Nebraska next Saturday to begin Big Ten play.

FOOTBALL

Déjà Tru: Trubisky, o�ense, leaving talented Bears gasping for air

BY ROBERT ZEGLINSKI CONTRIBUTOR

It’s a tale as old as time. A great defense. A surprisingly exceptional third phase in a special teams group.

And a limited quarterback interminably paired with an overcautious and overanxious play-caller. In the century the Bears have existed, they’ve created a lot of worthwhile memories. They’ve established a hallowed tradition rooted in the foundation of professional football. Legends such as George Halas, Dick Butkus, Walter Payton and Brian Urlacher are all synonymous with the sport, and each are emblazoned with the Bears’ trademark orange “C.” And yet, something has always been missing.

Every successful iteration – defined by a high bar of a winning season, playo� berth, or championship – has possessed the same mix of tantalizing physicality and ruthlessness on defense, and a vexing o�ensive incompetence.

Through two games of the 2019 season, the Bears sit at 1-1. Normally their record through such a small 12 percent sample size of a four-month campaign would be nothing to write home about. But how they’ve managed to stay afloat bears mentioning, to be screamed from the rooftops. Because if they continue on in much of a familiar, if listless fashion, they’ll be drowning without a life vest wondering where it all went wrong.

This latest Bears adaptation starts under center, or in the shotgun, or running into unnecessary pressure and eventually missing an open receiver. It starts with Mitchell Trubisky. Trubisky is Chicago’s proposed prodigy at quarterback that was ostensibly to make a leap in the third year of his NFL career. He had the weapons and the balance. He had the coach and the belief of an entire burgeoning organization behind him. Stability in a supporting cast, an abundance of talent, and raw confidence: what more can you ask for as a quarterback, or as anyone in any working industry?

If you’re Trubisky, evidently the situation need only be more perfect, more fine-tuned, and more polished to a stage of rust, failure, and inevitable exhaustion.

Instead of making The Leap and showing o� any discernible ability to reward the Bears’ faith in a player they once traded up for to No. 2 overall, Trubisky has struggled. “Struggled” would be putting it lightly. A more sincere evaluation, involving a conversation no one in Halas Hall wants to have but must acknowledge, is that the anointed face of the franchise has regressed. In advance of his 30th NFL

start, Trubisky has made The Leap in the wrong direction. He’s gone backwards with no signs of slowing down his reverse trip into amateurish ineptitude.

Through two games, in his third year as a starter no less – not second, as much as many would like to disregard the stubborn halcyon days of John Fox ever happening – Trubisky is 32nd among all starting quarterbacks in touchdown passes with zero. He’s 32nd in yards per attempt at a robust 4.8. There is essentially a negligible di�erence between a Trubisky pass downfield and the Bears’ current average of 4.5 yards per rushing attempt.

A demonstrative problem for the Bears and their currently hapless o�ense. After being touted for his accuracy and ball placement at college in North Carolina, Trubisky’s completion percentage is 58.3: 27th in the league. Given that it’s easier than ever to matriculate an o�ense based on ceaseless and e�cient dinks and dunks, it’s harrowing to see Trubisky dip so far below in o�cial accuracy marks.

Trubisky is like someone attempting to reinvent themselves by taking an advanced dance class at the local strip mall. He may possess the athletic ability and grace to thrive in a Flamenco setting, but when it comes time to execute the intricacy of steps and flow and balance one, he’s breaking the toes of his partner’s foot again and again thanks to a weighty second left foot. He can’t take what he processes in the film, weight room and practice field to the playing field, or the blazing hot dance floor.

It should be distressing seeing Trubisky grapple with much of the same issues that plagued his development in 2018 and even as a rookie in 2017. If Trubisky the project is an ongoing work in progress, his concerns would be palatable in the name of meaningful progress. A deer-in-theheadlights pocket presence where the 25-year-old ducks his head while under duress would’ve begun to dissipate by now, not be exacerbated. Balls demanding touch and pinpoint placement would’ve been more fine-tuned, practiced to excellence, not sailed way wide left and right like an o�-key football orchestra. There would be a degree of challenge to facing an electric Trubisky for opposing defenses, any di�culty at all, not merely reusing a carbon copy of a game-plan where they merely have to sit back and wait for him to play himself into a mistake.

A project this ambitious, now over four years in the making of the Ryan Pace era, can’t go backwards. There are deadlines to meet in the form of championship windows. This due date has no grace

period to speak of.

Amidst concerns of defensive regression, Chuck Pagano’s group has picked up right where it left o� after a historic 2018 outing. If anything, Khalil Mack, Akiem Hicks, Eddie Jackson, Kyle Fuller, and Roquan Smith look improved and more cohesive. A No. 7 overall ranking in DVOA and onslaught of a survival test in Denver’s punishing altitude is a testament to a tight-knit group’s unity and refinement. Pagano made certain his players didn’t wear white after Labor Day and they in turn have reaped the benefits in style. Chicago’s defense looks as if it could play for a Super Bowl right now, in this present moment. They look as if they would win it on their own. Unfortunately Lombardi trophies are only contested in the shortest month of the calendar year, and they’re seldom won on the strength of a defense alone.

Mack, Hicks, and company can only carry the Bears through the gauntlet of their season so much. Asking even a special defense to shoulder the load of

two sides of the ball for long is asking for trouble. It’s asking for a bunch of unscheduled stops marked by collapse and more drastically, a .500 season spent on the outside looking in come January.

One need only dive through an extensive history of promising Bears teams relying and falling through the ceiling thanks to this type of faulty dynamic. Trubisky was supposed to make the most recent incarnation di�erent. He’s done nothing but open old wounds instead.

That playo� distinction is the rub of which must be accounted for. Until Trubisky corrects the Bears’ mediocre o�ensive ship, or rather, if he does, it’s more than appropriate to table championship aspirations. Shooting for a second consecutive playo� berth, something the Bears haven’t managed since 2006, is more apt. Anything can happen if the Bears make it to the crucible of the early winter, provided Trubisky and the ghosts of the Bears’ past can take them there.
