Casino

City staff recommends Hard Rock Casino plan

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD - City staff has put its stamp of approval on a proposal to build a Hard Rock Casino in Rockford, Mayor Tom McNamara announced Monday.

The Hard Rock proposal, which calls for a casino at the site of the former Clock Tower Resort, was one of three submitted to the city.

“Hard Rock has the strongest and most complete proposal,” the mayor said during a news conference. “Its financing structure is credible and includes realistic and sustainable minimum gambling tax guarantees, along with additional revenue sharing payments to offset impacts to the city.”

Gorman and Co., the developer behind the downtown Embassy Suites and Rockford Convention Center, presented a plan to build a casino adjacent to that project. However, while a casino would be a major downtown development, McNamara said the Wisconsin company’s bid was incomplete.

“Gorman has not secured a casino operator,” he said. “It has not provided a complete financial package. It has made no application for zoning. It must relocate an existing manufacturing business, and it has no experience developing casinos.”

The mayor added that Gorman, on Sept. 27, submitted a nonbinding letter of intent that identified CMS Group as a gaming company willing to assume the role of casino operator and applicant. But city officials say because the CMS was not part of the initial application process, for them to jump in this late in the game would hinder Rockford’s chances of receiving a casino license.

“There is no sufficient basis for assessing the viability of this latest proposal and its financing,” McNamara said. “And, therefore, we have been unable to engage in good faith negotiations,” he said.

“Unfortunately, the downtown proposal is not developed to the point where we feel

confident the Illinois Gaming Board would issue a license at this location.”

CMS CEO Rick Campbell was at Monday’s City Council meeting and said his company was left out of the conversation even after it had been named as a potential operator.

“We still want the opportunity to move forward with that project, but we weren’t even given a chance to present the financials,” Campbell said. “We were told today was the deadline and that’s the one we still want to stick with.”

City leaders also commented on the application by Forest City Partners, which proposed a 60,000-square-foot casino and a host of other components on the far-east side near Javon Bea Hospital.

“The proposal also has very important weaknesses,” McNamara said. “Forest City has not provided evidence to confirm commitments for its equity financing.

Its proposal also does not contemplate approximately $46 million of expenses.”

The mayor added the plan’s lack of details regarding sources of debt and equity funding, and incomplete data, proposes a significant risk that financing for the project may be unavailable or insufficient.

“Although Forest City’s proposal is attractive and ambitious,” he said, “staff cannot recommend certification due to uncertainty related to a number of items, including commitments for the non-casino developments.”

In addition to a casino, Forest City proposed two water parks, two hotels, a senior-living facility and a Luxe Golf complex.

If Hard Rock’s plan is approved by aldermen, it would be sent to the Illinois Gaming Board for review, which could take as long as nine months. The company says it will transform parts of Giovanni’s Restaurant and Convention Center into a temporary site within 90 days of approval.

The temporary site would be open for 18-24 months and feature 736 slot machines.

The permanent facility would offer 1,500 slot machines and 55 gambling tables. The

21-acre development would include several restaurants, including Hard Rock Cafe; a Rock Shop that involves Karen Nielsen, wife of Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, and Hard Rock Live!, a 1,600-seat music venue and event center. The guitarist has been the face of the project since it was announced this summer and is expected to display some of his prolific guitar collection and Cheap Trick memorabilia.

While some council members have openly supported the Hard Rock plan, at least one is not completely sold. Linda McNeely, D-13, said her decision could be based on the identity of the investors.

“I think that will affect how aldermen will eventually vote, whether we go with Hard Rock or one of the other two,” McNeely said.

While state statute does not require applicants to disclose a list of their investors, their identities have been disclosed to the city.

Aldermen could cast a vote Oct. 7. They have until Oct. 26 to certify one or more proposals with the gaming board. Only one license will be issued.

Coffers

According to the city, Hard Rock has agreed to a pay the city a minimum of $7 million in annual gaming taxes, an amount that falls within the $4 million to $8 million range city officials projected at the beginning of the casino process. The city would keep 70% of those dollars. Winnebago County would receive 20% while the remaining 10% would be divided equally between Loves Park and Machesney Park.

The Rockford Park District stands to benefit, too. Hard Rock announced earlier this month its intentions to help fund an amphitheater at Levings Park, neighborhood youth programs, expansion of Washington Park Community Center and enhancements at the Sinnissippi Park Music Shell.

Ex-Dallas o�cer who killed neighbor found guilty of murder

BY JAKE BLEIBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS

DA LL A S (A P) – A wh ite former Dallas police o�cer who shot her black unarmed neighbor to death after, she said, mistaking his apartment for her own was convicted of murder Tuesday in a verdict that prompted tears of relief from his family and chants of “Black Lives Matter” from a crowd outside the courtroom.

The same jury that found Amber Guyger guilty in the September 2018 death of her upstairs neighbor, Botham Jean, will consider her fate after hearing additional testimony starting Tuesday afternoon.

She could be sentenced to from five to 99 years in prison under Texas law.

The jury took a matter of hours to convict Guyger, 31, after six days of testimony.

Cheers erupted in the courthouse as the verdict was announced, and someone yelled “Thank you, Jesus!” In the hallway outside the courtroom, a crowd celebrated and chanted “black lives matter.” When the prosecutors walked into the hall, they broke into cheers.

After the verdict was read, Guyger sat alone, weeping, at the defense table.

Jean’s friends and family testified later Tuesday at the punishment phase of the trial, to explain how his death has a�ected them. First on the stand was Allison Jean, who said her son was killed just before he was due to turn 27.

“My life has not been the same. It’s just been like a roller coaster. I can’t sleep, I cannot eat. It’s just been the most terrible time for me,” she said.

Botham Jean’s sister, Allisa Findley, told the jury that she and her mother cry a lot, her formerly “bubbly” younger brother has retreated as if into a shell, and that her father is “not the same.”

“It’s like the light behind his eyes is o�,” Findley said.

She said her children are now afraid of police.

Guyger’s defense attorneys can argue that she deserves a light sentence because she acted out of sudden fear and confusion. The judge is expected to provide guidance on sentencing law.

It is unclear how long the punishment phase of the trial will last.

The basic facts of the unusual shooting were not in dispute throughout the trial. After a long shift at work and still in uniform, Guyger walked up to Jean’s apartment – which was on the fourth floor, directly above hers on the third –and found the door unlocked. Thinking the apartment was her own, she drew her service weapon and entered.

Jean, an accountant from the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia, had been eating a bowl of ice cream when Guyger entered his home and shot him.

The shooting drew widespread attention because of the strange circumstances and because it was one in a string of shootings of unarmed black men by white police o�cers.

“A 26-year-old college-educated black man, certified public accountant, working for one of the big three accounting firms in the world ... it shouldn’t take all of that for unarmed black and brown people in America to get justice,” Benjamin Crump, one of the lawyers for Jean’s family, said at a news conference Tuesday.

Crump said the verdict honors other people of color who were killed by police o�cers who were not convicted of a crime.

At tor ney L ee Merr it t, who a lso represents t he family, underlined Crump’s words.

“This is a huge victory, not only for the family of Botham Jean, but this is a victory for black people in America. It’s a signal that the tide is going to change here. Police o�cers are going to be held accountable for their actions, and we believe that will begin to change policing culture around the world,” Merritt said.

The jury that convicted Guyger was largely made up of women and people of color.

Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata declined to comment Tuesday afternoon, saying Guyger’s lawyers asked him to wait until after sentencing. The group, which represents city police o�cers, has paid for Guyger’s legal defense and security.

The verdict may have defused tensions that began simmering Monday when jurors were told they could consider whether Guyger had a right to use deadly force under a Texas law known as the castle doctrine – even though she wasn’t in her own home.

The law is similar to “stand your ground” measures across the U.S. that state a person has no duty to retreat from an intruder. Prosecutor Jason Fine told jurors that while the law would have empowered Jean to shoot someone barging into his apartment, it doesn’t apply “the other way around.”

Guyger was arrested three days after the killing. She was later fi red and charged with murder . Tension has been high during the trial in Dallas, where five police o�cers were killed in an attack three years ago.

Guyger tearfully apologized for killing Jean and told the jurors she feared for her life upon finding the door to what she

thought was her apartment unlocked.

Guyger said Jean approached her when she entered the unit with her gun out.

Prosecutors suggested he was just rising from a couch toward the back of the room when the o�cer shot him.

In a frantic 911 call played repeatedly during the trial, Guyger said “I thought it was my apartment” nearly 20 times.

Her lawyers argued that the identical physical appearance of the apartment complex from floor to floor frequently led to tenants going to the wrong apartments.

But prosecutors questioned how Guyger could have missed numerous signs that she was in the wrong place, asked why she didn’t call for backup and suggested she was distracted by sexually explicit phone messages with her police partner.

JIMMY CARTER

Former President Jimmy Carter celebrates 95th birthday

BY BILL BARROW ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA (AP) – Jimmy Carter celebrated his 95th birthday on Tuesday, becoming the fi rst U.S. president to reach that milestone as he continues his humanitarian work and occasionally weighs in on politics and policy.

Carter still lives in tiny Plains, Georgia, and planned no public celebrations on Tuesday. But he’s had plenty to say recently, warning that re-electing President Donald Trump would be “a disaster” and expressing hopes that his Carter Center will become a more forceful advocate against armed conflicts in the future, including “wars by the United States.”

“I just want to keep the whole world at peace,” Carter said as he presented his annual Carter Center report last month.

“We have been at war more than 226 years. We have been at peace for about 16 years” since the Declaration of Independence in 1776, he said. And every

U.S. military conflict from the Korean War onward has been a war of “choice,” he said.

The 39th president survived a dire cancer diagnosis in 2015 and surpassed George H.W. Bush as the longest-lived U.S. president in history this spring.

He’s had some trouble walking after a hip replacement in May, but still teaches Sunday School in Plains, and with his wife of 73 years, Rosalynn, now 92, still plans an upcoming trip to help build houses with Habitat for Humanity in Nashville, Tennessee.

In his latest appearances at the Carter Center and in a town hall at Emory University, Carter blasted money in politics, urged action to combat the climate crisis, and celebrated the Carter Center’s work on public health, election monitoring and conflict resolution. But he said the center can do more to constructively criticize U.S. military engagements.

The Carter Center has “never voiced an

New to Medicare? We’re Not.

opinion publicly” on individual wars, he said with some regret, adding: “This is primarily my fault.”

“The United States is very deeply inclined to go to war,” Carter said, partly to “implant American policies” in other countries, and partly to “make a hero” out of wartime commanders in chief. This has significant economic consequences, he said: China has “been at peace” since he normalized relations with Beijing in 1979, and while the U.S. has spent trillions on military conflict, China has invested similar amounts in high-speed rail, new college campuses and other infrastructure.

Carter talks with the realism of a nonagenarian, born in 1924 when the world population was quarter of what it is today and life expectancy for American males was 58 years. Saying he plans to start spending more time with his extended family, he told the Carter Center audience that “this may be our last conversation with you ... we may or may not have one

next year.”

Carter has been accepting visits from several 2020 presidential candidate s, but he’s held back on endorsing any of his fellow Democrats, o�ering only clues to his thinking.

Carter said he voted for Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton last time, but warns that embracing single-payer, government-run health insurance could cost the Democrats votes among moderates and independents. That could rule out Sanders and another progressive favorite, Elizabeth Warren. But Carter also said he’d like to see a woman as president.

He said he couldn’t have managed his presidential duties when he was 80, which would nix not only Sanders, at 78, but former Vice President Joe Biden, who is 76. Warren is 70, meaning she’d be nearly 80 at the end of a two-term presidency.

Carter said only that he’ll be “voting Democratic” in the general election. By then, he’ll be 96.

IMPEACHMENT

Pompeo, Democrats trade intimidation charges

BY LISA MASCARO, MARY CLARE JALONICK AND JONATHAN LEMIRE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) – Setting a defiant tone, the Trump administration resisted Congress’ access to impeachment witnesses Tuesday, even as House Democrats warned such e�orts themselves could amount to an impeachable o�ense.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tried to delay five current and former o�cials from providing documents and testimony in the impeachment inquiry that could lead to charges against President Donald Trump. But Democrats were able to set closed-door depositions for Thursday for former special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker and next week for ousted U.S. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.

The escalating exchange of accusations and warnings signaled yet another sti�ening in the confrontation between the executive and legislative branches amid the Democrats’ launching of the impeachment inquiry late last week. That followed a national security whistleblower’s disclosure of Trump’s July phone call seeking help from the new Ukrainian president in investigating Democratic political rival Joe Biden and Biden’s son Hunter.

Pompeo said the Democrats were trying to “intimidate” and “bully” the career o�cials into appearing and claimed it would be “not feasible” as demanded.

House investigators countered that it would be illegal for the secretary to try to protect Trump by preventing the o�cials from talking to Congress.

Some Trump supporters cheered Pompeo’s muscular response to the Democrats. But it also complicated the secretary’s own situation, coming the day after it was disclosed that he had listened in during Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy that helped trigger the impeachment inquiry.

“Any e�ort to intimidate witnesses or prevent them from talking with Congress — including State Department employees — is illegal and will constitute evidence of obstruction of the impeachment inquiry,” said three House chairmen, Adam Schi� of the intelligence committee, Eliot Engel of Foreign A�airs, and Elijah Cummings

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

of Oversight.

They said that if he was on Trump’s call, “Secretary Pompeo is now a fact witness in the House impeachment inquiry.” And they warned, “He should immediately cease intimidating Department witnesses in order to protect himself and the President.”

On Wednesday, the State Department’s inspector general is expected to brief congressional sta� from several House and Senate appropriations, oversight, foreign a�airs and intelligence committees on their requests for information and documents on Ukraine, according to an aide familiar with the planning. The inspector general acts independently from Pompeo.

The committees are seeking voluntary testimony from the current and former o�cials as the House digs into State Department actions and Trump’s other calls with foreign leaders that have been shielded from scrutiny.

In halting any appearances by State o�cials, and demanding that executive branch lawyers accompany them, Pompeo is underscoring Attorney General William Barr’s expansive view of White House authority and setting a tone for conflicts to come.

“I will use all means at my disposal to prevent and expose any attempts to intimidate the dedicated professionals,” Pompeo wrote.

When issuing a separate subpoena last week as part of the inquiry, the chairmen of the three House committees made it clear that stonewalling their investigation would be fought.

“Your failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House’s impeachment inquiry,” the three chairmen wrote.

Democrats often note that obstruction was one of the impeachment articles against Richard Nixon, who resigned the presidency in 1974 in the face of almost certain impeachment.

Volker played a direct role in arranging meetings between Rudy Giuliani, who is Trump’s personal lawyer, and Zelenskiy, the chairmen said.

The State Department said that Volker has confirmed that he put a Zelenskiy adviser in contact with Giuliani, at the

Ukraine adviser’s request.

The former envoy, who has since resigned his position and so is not necessarily bound

by Pompeo’s directions, is eager to appear as scheduled on Thursday, said one person familiar with the situation, but unauthorized to discuss it and granted anonymity.

The career professional believes he acted appropriately and wants to tell his side of the situation, the person said.

Yovanovitch, the career diplomat whose abrupt recall from Ukraine earlier this year raised questions, is set to appear next week.

The Democrats also want to hear from T. Ulrich Brechbuhl, a counselor at the State Department, who also listened in on the Trump-Zelenskiy call, they said.

It’s unclear whether Pompeo will comply with the committees’ request for documents by Friday. He had declined to comply with their previous requests for information.

Pompeo, traveling in Italy to meet with the country’s president and prime minister, ignored shouted question about the impeachment inquiry on Tuesday.

The House investigators are prepared for battle as they probe more deeply into the State Department to try to understand why the administration sought to restrict access to Trump’s conversations with foreign leaders.

The whistleblower alleged in an Aug. 12 letter to Congress that the White House tried to “lock down” Trump’s July 25 phone call with the new Ukrainian president because it was worried about the contents being leaked to the public.

In recent days, it has been disclosed that the administration similarly tried to restrict information about Trump’s calls with other foreign leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman, by moving memos onto a highly classified computer system.

“It’s going to be one heck of a fight to get that information,” Schi� told House Democrats during a conference call over the weekend, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the private session.

As Trump continued to rage against the impeachment inquiry, there was little evidence of a broader White House response. And few outside allies were

rushing to defend the president.

Trump has long measured allies’ loyalty by their willingness to fight for him on TV, and he complained bitterly this week that few had done so. And those who did, including House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” he believed had flubbed their appearance, according to a person not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations.

Though there has been growing discontent with Giuliani in the West Wing and State Department, where some o�cials blame him for leading Trump into the Ukraine mess, the president continued to stand by his personal lawyer.

Giuliani, who hired former assistant special Watergate prosecutor Jon Sale a day after being hit with his own subpoena, continued to push false Biden corruption accusations and promised to fight against Democratic investigators.

The Ukraine matter remains the central focus as Democrats investigate whether Trump’s suggestion that the east European country’s new president be in touch with Giuliani and Barr to “look into” Biden amounts to a solicitation of foreign interference in the upcoming 2020 election.

The call unfolded against the backdrop of a $250 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine that was being readied by Congress but stalled by the White House.

Ukraine’s president told reporters Tuesday he has never met or spoken with Giuliani.

Zelenskiy insisted that “it is impossible to put pressure on me.” He said he stressed the importance of the military aid repeatedly in discussions with Trump, but “it wasn’t explained to me” why the money didn’t come through until September.

Not all business was halted between the White House and Congress. Even as the impeachment confrontation boiled, House Democrats briefed White House sta�ers on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s prescription drug legislation. Lowering drug costs is a top policy priority for both the speaker and the president. Joe Grogan, a top Trump domestic policy adviser, called it a “very productive start.”

Cheap Trick meets Dan Rather

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

Iconic newsman Dan Rather – respected anchor of CBS Evening News from 1981 to 2006, and frequent contributor to 60 Minutes – celebrates his 88th birthday later this month, but he’s still working.

Only these days he’s focusing mostly on subjects that interest him.

Since 2013, Rather has merged his love of reporting with his love of music by producing and headlining AXS-TV’s popular original series, The Big Interview with Dan Rather, currently in its seventh season on the music-focused cable network.

If you’ve never watched an episode, chances are he’s already interviewed some of your favorite entertainers. AXS often repeats older episodes, so you might want to check it out.

Over time, Rather has expanded the scope of The Big Interview to include luminaries outside of the music business, too; earlier this season he interviewed Carl and Rob Reiner, and actor Bryan Cranston is coming up toward the end of the season.

On October 9, Rather sits down with the three remaining original members

of Rockford’s own Cheap Trick: Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen, and Tom Petersson.

As you would expect from a journalist like Rather, his in-depth interviews go well beyond the surface, delving into what inspires and motivates successful individuals, getting peeks into their interests outside of their chosen fields, and learning about pivotal moments in their careers. While some interviews sound like rapid fire pop quizzes, Rather’s genial nature and genuine interest in his subjects make it seem as if he’s chatting with old friends, and just happens to be keenly interested in what they have to say.

You know there’s no way Zander, Nielsen, and Petersson will make it through an hour-long Dan Rather interview without mentioning Rockford. A big advantage of the group being interviewed together is watching them kid around with each other and sharing stories about their early days.

Cheap Trick is on tour with ZZ Top throughout October and have a show the night it airs, so they probably won’t be able to watch the night it airs. But you can, as long as you have AXS, which is available locally on Comcast/Xfinity (channel 928), Spectrum (channel 704), DirecTV

Zander, Nielsen and Petersson with Dan Rather for The Big Interview [Photo credit: Braxton Black/BMP Film & Co.] (channel 340), DISH (channel 167) as well as on Sling TV, Philo, and AT&T TV NOW. I have the feeling AXS will see a ratings spike throughout northern Illinois when the episode airs.

Programming Note:

The Big Interview with Dan Rather airs Wednesdays at 7 p.m. CT on AXS. The episode with Cheap Trick airs October 9.

Voices From the Grave

Local legend tells of a river monster Kathi Kresol Contributor

This area has long been known for its Native American presence. At one time hundreds of mounds, both effigy and burial, once lined the Rock River. Most of them were either explored by scientists from Chicago or, depending on the owner of the land, cleared for farming by Rockford’s early pioneers. Only a few remain to remind us of the large Native American settlement that once existed here.

These early inhabitants of this area also left other remnants of their existence. They have passed down rich stories of their life in this area. Some of these stories were recently unearthed in research of books and old newspaper articles.

One such story told of a legend passed down by the native Winnebago tribe. The Winnebago tribes would travel the length of the Rock River from Lake Koshkonong all the way to the quad cities where the Rock River meets the Mississippi. They

had many beliefs about the creation of the land and people that some would call superstitious today.

One of these stories was researched by the Wisconsin State Historical Society in the early 1950s. In an article in the Rockford newspaper of the day, the legend told of a band giant creatures that inhabited the Rock River in the days before the white man came to this area.

The creatures were referred to as large demons that had long bodies like a snake.

Their large heads contained horns and huge jaws filled with razor sharp teeth. The monsters wandered the entire span of the Rock following the tribes as they moved up and down the river.

The creatures would lie hidden in the waters by the crossing places of the river, including the natural rocky ford in Rockford’s downtown area. They would wait until an unsuspecting animal or person would come near the water’s edge before striking.

The beasts were also reported to use their long tail to overturn canoes or small rafts. The creature would slap the water creating a small wake that would cause the canoes to flip over and spill the occupants into the water. The helpless victim would be devoured quickly leaving only an

overturned canoe and a small churning in the water.

Though the creatures were only sighted rarely by the Native Americans, many tales of the men and women killed by the relentless beasts spread the length of the river. Those who witnessed the monsters first hand declared that in the spring these fiends’ thrashing broke up the ice on the river and caused the large ice chunks to line the bank.

The tales alleged that the demons fed and slept in dens located in the deepest parts of the river. The locals grew so frightened that no Native would approach the Rock River without making offerings of tobacco and other goods before entering the water.

This was the only way their life would be spared by the monsters. The article also suggested that one of the mounds that remained in Beattie Park might represent the creatures with the long tail.

After the Natives left the area, the creatures lost their food source and moved down the river into the Mississippi reportedly into the Gulf of Mexico.

Stock Market

Stocks sink as US manufacturing shrinks again amid trade war

By Stan Choe and Damian J. Troise Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) – U.S. stocks sank to their worst loss in five weeks on Tuesday after a surprisingly limp report on the nation’s manufacturing stirred worries about the economy’s strength.

The report showed that manufacturing weakened in September for the second straight month as President Donald Trump’s trade war with China dragged on confidence and factory activity. It dashed economists’ expectations that August’s contraction had been an aberration, and stocks and bond yields immediately reversed course to drop sharply lower following the report.

The S&P 500 slumped 36.49 points, or 1.2%, to 2,940.25 for its sharpest loss since August. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 343.79, or 1.3%, to 26,573.04, and the Nasdaq composite dropped 90.65, or 1.1%, to 7,908.68.

Small-company stocks fell more than the rest of the market. The Russell 2000 index lost 29.94 points, or 2%, to 1,493.43.

In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury dropped to 1.63% from 1.74% before the report’s release, which is a big move. Three stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, and gold climbed as investors sought safer ground.

The market had been gliding gently upward at the day’s start, and the S&P 500 was up as much as 0.5% within the first half hour of trading. But then the report from the Institute for Supply Management hit, showing its manufacturing index was at 47.8 last month, the lowest since 2009. Any reading below 50 indicates a contraction.

Economists had been expecting growth to resume in September, and they had forecast a reading of 50.4, according to FactSet. M a nufac t urers say g loba l t rade remains the most significant issue, and all the uncertainty caused by the trade war is hurting exporters in particular.

Businesses are unsure what the rules of international trade will be, and it’s causing CEOs to pull back on their spending plans. In a separate report, the World Trade Organization said global trade growth will slow to its weakest pace this year since 2009.

“The disappointing data is only fanning long-standing fears of slowing global growth,” said Alec Young, managing director of Global Markets Research at FTSE Russell.

Manufacturing is a relatively small part

of the economy, but investors worry about whether it will spill into other areas. That puts an even bigger spotlight on Friday’s jobs report, which economists expect to show an acceleration in hiring.

Household spending has been a pillar for the economy, particularly when manufacturing and business spending are under threat, and a strong job market helps households keep spending. But uncertainty is looming even there.

A report last week showed that consumer spending rose less than economists expected in August. Two reports on consumer confidence last week gave a mixed picture, with one falling below expectations and the other rising above.

Last month’s jobs report was also surprisingly weak, but that may have been a one-off, some analysts say.

“The month of August over the last 10 years has been the wonkiest jobs report of the year,” said Philip Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors.

It often falls below expectations, only for the numbers to be revised higher in subsequent months, he said.

“There’s no question the data has been softer, slower, weaker, pick your adjective for today versus a year ago,” Orlando said about the broad economy. “But I do think we’re going to get through this.”

Following the weak manufacturing report, investors ratcheted up expectations for the Federal Reserve to come to the economy’s aid. They increasingly believe the Fed will cut interest rates by half a percentage point at its meeting later this month, rather than the quarter point they were forecasting a day earlier.

The Fed and other central banks around the world have been aggressive in keeping rates low to shield against the effects of the trade war and slowing global economic growth. The Fed lowered short-term rates twice this summer, down to a range of 1.75% to 2%, the first cuts since the financial crisis was toppling economies around the world in 2008.

Financial stocks were among the market’s biggest losers Tuesday, hurt by the drop in interest rates, which can crimp the profits banks made from lending.

Charles Schwab also upended the industry when it said it will eliminate mobile and web trading commissions for stocks, exchange-traded funds and options listed in the United States and Canada. It’s the latest move in an industrywide pricing war that’s dramatically cut the cost of investing.

Schwab fell 9.7% after the announcement, but rivals sank even more. TD

Ameritrade lost 25.8%, and ETrade Financial dropped 16.4% for the biggest loss in the S&P 500.

In European stock markets, the CAC 40 in France fell 1.4%, Germany’s DAX lost 1.3% and the FTSE 100 slipped 0.6%. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.6%, and South Korea’s Kospi gained 0.5%.

Benchmark crude oil fell 45 cents to settle at $53.62 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international standard, fell 36 cents to

close at $58.89 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline was unchanged at $1.57 per gallon.

Heating oil was unchanged at $1.90 per gallon. Natural gas fell 5 cents to $2.28 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Gold rose $16.30 to $1,482.00 per ounce, silver rose 30 cents to $17.20 per ounce and copper fell 1 cent to $2.55 per pound.

The dollar fell to 107.73 Japanese yen from 108.07 yen on Monday. The euro strengthened to $1.0936 from $1.0902.

Lace Up Your Running Shoes – Stroll on State’s Dasher Dash 5K Back for a Third Year Rockford Area CVB

The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and Fleet Feet Sports Rockford are excited to welcome back the much-anticipated Dasher Dash 5K. Last year, the race exceeded expectations with record-breaking participation of 1,292 runners, a 35 percent increase from 2017. SwedishAmerican, a division of UW Health, has joined the Dasher Dash team as the event’s presenting sponsor again this year. The Dasher Dash will begin at 8 a.m. on the morning of Stroll on State, presented by Illinois Bank & Trust, on Saturday, November 30, 2019.

Starting at the UW Health Sports Factory, 305 S. Madison St., the race then moves through historic parts of downtown and southwest Rockford, including four bridge crossings, Haight Village and the Founders Landing District including the grounds of Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum & Gardens.

Once runners make their way through this scenic route and cross the finish line on Grove Street, they will be greeted at the finish line with hot chocolate and Christmas cookies. The certified course was created with all skill levels in mind; awards for top overall, top masters and first through third in each age group as well as finisher medals will be given out.

Registration is open now and is $35 for adults and $20 for kids 12 and under. The entry fee includes the online processing fee and race swag, including a race shirt.

Registration closes on Tuesday, November 26 at 11:59 p.m. There will be no race day registration. Runners interested in participating can register online at www. strollonstate.com or at Fleet Feet, 1653 N Alpine Rd, Rockford, IL 61107.

The Dasher Dash organizing committee is pleased to recognize SwedishAmerican, a division of UW Health, as the presenting

sponsor of the event this year. Their support and commitment to this event echoes their mission to care for the well-being of this community and the people who live here through their compassionate service.

Dasher Dash is supported by the following sponsors: SwedishAmerican (Presenting Sponsor), Illinois Bank & Trust (Award Ceremony Sponsor), Turano Baking Company, Wolfe Landscaping, Beef-a-roo, Eckburg Insurance, Northern Mechanical Inc., Performance Food Group and Peak Fitness.

“We introduced the Dasher Dash 5K as part of the Stroll on State lineup of events in 2017 and had no idea how much the event would grow in just two years. We’re excited to see the growth and excitement the third year brings as well! The race route is beautiful, and the party afterwards is great for the community to gather together to kick off the day by celebrating and having a whole lot of fun,” said Tana Vettore, RACVB director of destination development.

“We are thrilled SwedishAmerican chose to be a presenting sponsor of the event again this year and we are so fortunate to continue to partner with Fleet Feet Sports Rockford. These partnerships, along with many others, help us continue to provide the best possible experience each year for participants during this festive holiday weekend.”

Renewable Energy Actions for this fall’s veto session

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

Storing fruits and vegetables for winter

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

As fall weather comes in, there is a decline in the growth of the fruit and vegetables you are growing. Hopefully you are still getting some yields these last weeks before the first frost as many of these plants are still able to tolerate the 50s and 60s. With this shift to a new season, now is the opportunity to stock up on produce for winter.

When considering produce storage, you want to think about your cold storage space.

Many of these will need a cold area like a refrigerator to be stored. An environment of 32 F is ideal for carrots, beets, cabbage, kale, Brussel sprouts, and others. Another group contains potatoes, onions, garlic, winter squash, and others that can be stored outside of a fridge. They should be stored in a dark area that does not get too warm.

Certain produce likes cold and dry conditions while others like cold and moist.

Those that go in the fridge will like the cold and moist conditions while those that like cold and dry will not. Humidity can be the deciding factor as to whether produce will keep its expected shelf life. Moist condi-

tions should have 95% relative humidity while dry conditions should be 65%.

Because farmers markets are still open, this is the perfect time to be acquiring what you need this winter. By telling the growers you are planning to stock up, you may find that they have “stocking up specials”. You may also want to reach out to them once the farmers markets have ended as into November and December, they may still have produce available for sell.

With orchards now open, many apple varieties will store well in the fridge between layers of paper bags. Consult with your orchard to determine what variety is best for cold storage.

Di�erent produce keeps at di�erent lengths of time. Some may store for 3-5 months while others may store from 1-2 months. By knowing the conditions your produce needs, this will lead to enjoying local produce in the winter.

If nothing changes in state legislation Illinois is expected to fall far short of the goal of 25% renewable energy by 2025.

The basic problem is the lack of money currently available to meet the goal. It was illustrated by the fact that only 100 community solar projects were funded this year, leaving 800 projects without su�cient funding to implement them.

According to CUB, the Citizens Utility Board, funding for new energy projects will be exhausted after 2019.

Two acts before the state legislators hope to remedy the situation and help sustain the transition to renewable energy in Illinois. One is known as the Path to 100. It provides funding to meet the existing goal of 25% renewable energy by 2025. It also seeks to expand the Renewable Portfolio Standard to 40% by 2030. The second is the Clean Energy Jobs Act. Known as CEJA, the act hopes to have Illinois reach a goal of 100% renewable energy by 2050 while cutting carbon from the power sector within the state. It also seeks to reduce power bills, electrify the transportation system and ensure the entire state enjoys the benefits of a clean energy economy.

CEJA is described by CUB as containing multiple provisions which will help cut utility bills. It calls for putting the Illinois Power Agency in charge of running the special ‘capacity market” for northern Illinois. Currently the PJM Interconnection, power operator for 13 states from Illinois to Maryland, runs the capacity market. Those power generating firms winning in capacity auctions secure additional funds for having enough power available to meet spikes in energy demand.

Curiosity in the

Corn

It is feared that new rules from the Federal Energ y Regulator y Agency governing the capacity market will favor fossil fuel interests, raise energy prices and undermine the market for renewable energy and nuclear power. Moving the control of “capacity market” to the IPA is seen by its advocates as saving customers money and dramatically expanding the state’s investment in renewable energy.

According to CUB additional benefits from passing CEJA include expanding energy e�ciency programs for both gas and electric customers, reducing peak demand by promoting energy storage, e�ciency and special rate plans and an optional plan which o�ers customers di�erent electrical rates such as for day or night consumption.

There is a push to get the two acts implemented in this fall’s veto session out of a concern of the potential impact of failing to have su�cient funding for renewable energy after the end of this year. The fall sessions are scheduled for three days in October and three days in November. In a call to Springfield we were informed it will not be known until October 21 whether the two acts will be addressed during this fall legislative session.

Even if the two acts are addressed this fall, their outcome remains uncertain.

While our article primarily address the legislative acts supported by CUB, other energy bills left over from last spring’s session could influence the legislative outcome. In a September 17 article: Battle brews over Ill. shift away from coal Je�ery Tomich identifies some of the divisions among competing interests over how to move forward on the transition to renewable energy in Illinois.

Let your state representatives know where you stand.

Notice is hereby given to the heirs of the Estate of RONALD L. LEEK, namely GARY LEEK, DENNIS LEEK, THOMAS LEEK, JUDY LEEK MARUM and any descendants of PAUL L. LEEK. A petition to probate the Will of RONALD L. LEEK has been filed and an order entered admitting the will to probate dated September 11, 2019. You are each named in the petition as an heir of the decedent, not a legatee.

Within 42 days after the effective date of the original order of admission, any heir or legatee may file a petition with the court to require proof of the will by testimony of the witnesses to the will in open court or offer evidence, as provided in section 6-21 of the Illinois Probate Act of 1975.

Each heir or legatee also has the right under section 8-1 or 8-2 of the Illinois Probate Act of 1975 to contest the validity of the will or the denial of admission by filing a petition with the court within six months after entry of the order admitting or denying the will.

The estate will be administered without court supervision, unless an interested person asks the court to become involved. Independent administration means that the executor or administrator will not have to obtain court orders or file estate papers in court during probate.

The estate will be administered without court supervision, unless an interested person asks the court to become involved.

Under section 28-4 of the Illinois Probate Act of 1975, any interested person may terminate independent administration at any time by mailing or delivering a petition to terminate to the clerk of the court. However, if there is a will which directs independent administration, independent administration will be terminated only if the court finds there is good cause to require supervised administration, and if the petitioner is a creditor or nonresiduary legatee, independent administration will be terminated only if the court finds that termination is necessary to protect the petitioner’s interest.

In addition to the right to terminate independent administration, any interested person may petition the court to hold a hearing and resolve any particular question that may arise during independent administration, even though supervised administration has not been requested. 755 ILCS 5/28-5. The independent representative must mail or deliver a copy of the estate inventory and accounting to each interested person, and must send notice to or obtain the approval of each interested person before the estate can be closed. 755 ILCS 5/28-6, 5/28-1. Any interested person has the right to question or object to any item included in or omitted from any inventory or account or to insist on a full court accounting of all receipts and disbursements with prior notice, as required in supervised administration. 755 ILCS 5/28-11.

ROCKFORD - Although the IceHogs did not play an American League preseason game this season, 17 members of Rockford’s roster skated as Blackhawks last Saturday in an NHL exhibition contest against the Boston Bruins.

The ‘Hogs were recalled because the Blackhawks took the bulk of their opening-day roster to Europe for an exhibition game in Berlin before opening the regular season in the Czech Republic against the Philadelphia Flyers Friday.

Chicago’s prospect roster that faced a Bruins team of mostly NHLers included forwards Matthew Highmore and Dylan Sikura, and defensemen Adam Boqvist and Lucas Carlsson. The Bruins prevailed 8-2.

While the scoreboard did not indicate a strong Chicago showing, it gave Rockford coach Derek King a better glimpse of what he will have to work with this season, his first full slate since coaching the ‘Hogs last year with an interim tag on his name for most of the campaign. The score aside, King liked what he saw.

“It’s going to be an exciting year.” King said. “I can’t want to see some of these young guys and how they develop.”

One of King’s main roles going into Saturday’s game was to plug his IceHogs into Chicago’s blueprint to see how they fared, something he will also rely on as the anticipated AHL season begins gets underway Friday in Iowa.

“I’ll keep running with it here,” King said. “(But) we’re excited to get going ourselves. You can stand around and watch the Hawks practice and see all their video meetings, but we’re looking forward to doing our own now and getting ready here.”

And getting ready is what Saturday was all about. And while Sikura, Highmore and two-time Stanley Cup champion Kris Versteeg have NHL games under their belts, the roster hadn’t played as a group with the big club at the much faster national-league pace all that much. And it showed. The young Blackhawks trailed 5-0 midway through the second period before Philipp Kurashev put Chicago on the board.

The third period opened with David

Pastrnak scoring his third goal of the game to give the Bruins a 7-1 lead. Boston then added another for the seven-goal lead. Nobody hung their head though.

Tim Soderlund scored on a breakaway for Chicago late in the period, to end the night on a positive for the minor-leaguers.

“It was a great experience for a lot of the young guys to see what it’s like to play against players like that and to see how they react to certain situations,” Versteeg said. “The score wasn’t what we wanted, but all-in-all, I though with traveling, it was a good effort.”

It was a bit of an eye-opening experience for 33-year-old Versteeg, too. He’s spent the last two seasons overseas and took the opportunity in Saturday’s game to re-acclimate himself to top-level hockey.

“I haven’t played against an NHL team in almost two years,” he said. “It’s been a long time. But I think I played really well.

I had four or five shots. I had some really good looks.”

Rockford goaltenders Kevin Lankinen and Matt Tomkins both saw action against the Bruins in a scheduled split.

Roster Moves

The Blackhawks placed defenseman Carl Dahlstrom on waivers Monday, hoping to stash him in Rockford. Instead, he was picked off the wire by the Winnipeg Jets yesterday. Dahlstrom, 24, split last season between Rockford and Chicago.

Chicago also assigned defenseman Dennis Gilbert, forward Anton Wedin and goaltender Collin Delia. Coach Jeremy Colliton said although the roster moves weren’t easy to make, they represent a problem he’s glad to have.

“I think it’s really positive that we have some tough decisions and that we have some depth in our group,” Colliton said. “We are pushed into making tough decisions but it’s not necessarily how our team is going to look in a month. Things are going to develop. And that’s what we tell these guys.”

The IceHogs open their home schedule Saturday Oct. 12, meeting the Grand Rapids Griffins at the BMO Harris Bank Center for a 6 p.m. puck drop.

A steady Chase: Veteran Daniel proving he can keep Bears afloat

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Being an NFL backup quarterback is a lot like serving as an understudy to a leading performer in a grand theatrical production.

You’re tasked with knowing every play and every line inside and out. Every route, every monologue, every cadence, and every minute facial expression must be memorized, firmly ingrained into your psyche as if you’ve been playing quarterback or acting your entire life. This assortment of mental gymnastics, of entertaining without being the lead entertainer, must be accomplished without the guise of ever stepping in between the lines of the football field or into the spotlight. It must be settled in a succinct manner where you’re prepared to play and perform at the drop of a hat, and recede back into the shadows just as fast.

Your moment – the opportunity to shine once your ostensible superior steps down for any basis – may never arrive. On a list of priorities and their tangentially related importance, how you support the starting quarterback or lead comes first. How you play when pressed into action is an almost tertiary thought at best.

The only instance where your presence as backup, as an understudy, is pined for is when you shine brighter than the person you were only supposed to temporarily replace. For most players

and up-and-coming actors, this is an unrealistic prospect given the rigors of their respective ruthless industries.

On Sunday, with the throes of the meat of their 2019 regular season laid out front of them, Chase Daniel once again went from an afterthought stand-in to the face of a struggling Bears offense. Mitchell Trubisky, Chicago’s starter, attempted to roll out on the sixth play of a pivotal divisional contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He ran right into pressure. In a vane attempt to escape and create magic out of thin air, he suffered a torn left labrum and a dislocated left shoulder. By all respects, a fortunate diagnosis considering how much of the Bears’ hopes rest on the 25-year-old’s one healthy shoulder and one appendage pieced together by tape and glue.

Enter Daniel, 10-year veteran. A man known more for making over $30 million dollars despite maybe, only potentially playing in any game of any season over the decade he’s been in the NFL. 195 respectable yards later, along with one touchdown and every attempt made to avoid mistakes for the sake of making explosive plays, and somehow, a Bears victory.

Welcome to the foreseeable quarterback future in Lake Forest.

“We’ve got people that don’t flinch when adversity strikes,” said Matt Nagy

in the postgame. “I couldn’t even give a game ball out today because it wouldn’t have been fair to all the other backups in there.”

Daniel might be the preeminent example of someone who doesn’t wince at first contact. A man prepared to jump into the fire, whether he has his flame retardant suit draped over his body or not. In a sport most often defined by the weakest link, or rather, who can step once an inevitable injury occurs to the quarterback – a premium position with a distinct scarcity of competence – Daniel has proven to be a welcome exception for the Bears.

Ever since he joined Nagy’s ragtag bunch in 2018, Daniel is 2-1 in games where he’s forced to either start or step in for Trubisky. He hasn’t exactly pieced together prolific performances. Far from it. Sometimes, he’s looked as if he doesn’t belong on the same field as his defensive counterparts: a multiple turnover outing against the Giants acting as the best example of what happens when a starting defense has time to prepare for a fill-in.

What Daniel lacks in natural ability and athleticism is where Trubisky fills in the gaps. There’s sound cause for the difference, as there always is, between the starter and backup.

As much as pining for the backup quarterback in Chicago is an equivalent

tradition to mispronouncing simple names over the radio airwaves, the Bears will miss the ailing Trubisky. However long he’s forced to sit and recover, the Bears won’t have the dynamic he adds to their still-burgeoning offense. They’ll be stuck just past neutral, trying and failing to get out of grimy muck. A contender missing its starting quarterback, what a novel concept. But for the most part, the effectiveness Daniel has shown in merely controlling games and giving the defensively-driven Bears a chance to win, should be comforting. It should keep the Bears afloat, if only temporarily.

The first test heaped onto Daniel’s plate won’t be easy. A London date where the suddenly adequate Raiders await won’t be a cakewalk. It’ll be a familiar obstacle to a quarterback who wilted in a similar road scenario. Given the steadiness of a mature supporting cast around him, something says Daniel won’t shy away from the moment this time. He’ll fit into Britain’s culture and climate seamlessly, a botched English accent and fish and chips and all. The proclaimed understudy will carry the show as only he can. Once the curtains come up, the audience will be none the wiser.
