Rockford aldermen approve Hard Rock Casino proposal By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD - The Rockford City Council, on Monday, voted 11-1 to send a proposal to build a Hard Rock Casino at 7801 E. State St. to the Illinois Gaming Board. “We are thankful for the mayor and council’s support of our plan, and we look forward to continuing with the state process to create an entertainment destination that will make Rockford proud,” Hard Rock International COO Jon Lucas said. Aldermen voted for the plan after the zoning items related to the casino passed unanimously, indicating that all present council members would give Hard Rock the nod. Linda McNeely, however, cast the lone no vote. The Thirteenth Ward Democrat said although Hard Rock has vowed to give back financially to the city through its 815 Foundation, they have not promised that any of those dollars would be specifically designated to improve the west side. “I wanted to have money to come for my area so I can start seeing development,” McNeely said. Fifth Ward Ald. Venita Hervey (D) said she is also concerned that the west side, most notably the South Main Street corridor where Gorman & Co. was proposing a

casino, will not see further development other than the Embassy Suites & Rockford Conference Center that’s set to open next spring. Unlike McNeely though, Hervey voted for Hard Rock. “I wanted to see a casino in the South Main corridor for selfish reasons,” Hervey said. “I was desperate, and I am still desperately looking for something to help infill the South Main corridor. When I grew up, that area was what we called our Little Italy. ...It was vibrant and it’s a historical part of the city. I was really hoping a casino would rise up somewhere in that area and help change the valuation of the (existing) buildings and bring something vibrant back there. It’s what I wanted, and I would have loved to see it. But I do support the Hard Rock Casino and the location on I-90. My ultimate goal is to do what’s best for the city, and I think it’s going to bring the most value.” Lucas said while the casino will not be sited on the west side, from jobs to employee transportation, the company is committed to supporting all areas of the city. “We heard from council loud and clear that the west side is very important,” Lucas said. “And we will do everything we can to help create jobs for them and make sure

they can get to work at that facility coming from the west side.” Hard Rock has guaranteed the City of Rockford $7 million in annual gaming revenue, committed to help fund improvements at several Rockford Park District properties and give to local charities. “A 300-plus million-dollar project and an international brand makes all the work worthwhile,” Mayor Tom McNamara said about the selection process that was up against a 120-day clock that started ticking the moment Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the state gaming expansion bill June 28. “And to the team that was assembled from Hard Rock, I want to say, ‘Welcome to Rockford.’” The application process review process is expected to take about nine months. When it’s approved, Hard Rock will begin transforming parts of Giovanni’s Restaurant and Convention Center into a temporary casino with more than 700 slot machines. The facility will be open for 18-24 months while the permanent casino is under construction Ald. John Beck, R-12, abstained from Monday’s vote because he works for the Rockford Park District. Seventh Ward Democrat Ann Thompson-Kelly was absent.

Trump shifts tone on Turkey in e�ort to halt Syria invasion BY ROBERT BURNS, MATTHEW LEE AND DEB RIECHMANN ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) – In a span of 24 hours, President Donald Trump moved from threatening to obliterate Turkey’s economy if it invades Syria to inviting its president to visit the White House. But Trump did not back away Tuesday from a plan to withdraw American troops from Syria as he tried to persuade Turkey not to invade the country and attack the U.S.-allied Kurds – a needle-threading strategy that has angered Republican and Democratic lawmakers and confused U.S. allies. “This is really dangerous,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. Trump tweeted that while U.S. forces “may be” leaving Syria, the U.S. has not abandoned the Kurds, who stand to be destroyed if Turkey follows through with its planned invasion. The Kurds lead a group of Syria ﬁghters who have been steadfast and e�ective American allies in combating the Islamic State in Syria. Turkey, however, sees the Kurds as terrorists and a border threat. Joseph Votel, a retired Army general who headed Central Command’s military operations in Syria until last spring, wrote on The Atlantic website Tuesday that mutual trust was a key ingredient in the U.S. partnership with the Kurds. “The sudden policy change this week breaks that trust at the most crucial juncture and leaves our partners with very limited options,” Votel wrote. Jonathan Schanzer, a Syria scholar at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said even a limited Turkish incursion into northern Syria could quickly escalate. “The president is doubling down on this – seems to be reversing course,” Schanzer said. “He’s trying to convey to the American people that he’s made the right decision. Of course, (Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan is going to see this as a green light.” The confusion began Sunday when the White House issued a late-night statement saying U.S. forces in northeastern Syria would step aside for what it called an imminent Turkish invasion. The statement made no mention of U.S. e�orts to forestall the invasion, leading many to conclude that Trump was, in e�ect, turning a blind eye to a slaughter of Kurds. On Monday, amid criticism from some of his staunchest Republican supporters, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Trump suggested he was washing his hands of the Syria conﬂict, saying in a tweet that “it is time now for others in the region ... to protect their own territory.” But he also threatened to

“totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey” if its military action in Syria went too far. Administration officials argue that Trump is employing strategy in response to Erdogan’s insistence during a phone call Sunday with Trump that he was moving ahead with a military incursion into Syria. Erdogan seemed to have rejected a joint U.S.-Turkish plan, already being carried out, to create a bu�er zone on the Syrian side of the border to address Turkey’s security concerns. The execution of that plan included dismantling some Kurdish defensive positions on the Syrian side of the border. Without initially saying his administration was still trying to talk Erdogan out of invading, Trump ordered the 50 to 100 U.S. troops inside that zone to pull back for safety’s sake. He then emphasized his desire to withdraw from Syria entirely, although no such broader pullout has begun. U.S. military leaders have recommended keeping U.S. troops in Syria to ensure a long-term defeat of IS. Pentagon o�cials said Tuesday that Defense Secretary Mark Esper and the new Joint Chiefs chairman, Gen. Mark Milley, participated in Trump’s phone call with Erdogan on Sunday, contrary to some reports that Pentagon leaders had been blindsided by the decision to pull troops back. The o�cials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters. According to U.S. officials, Turkish troops on Tuesday were massed along the border in apparent preparation for an incursion across the border. But they said that so far there have been no signs of an actual assault beginning. The o�cials, who were not authorized to discuss details of military intelligence, said there are between 5,000 and 10,000 Turkish troops along the border apparently ready to go. The o�cials said they expect the Turks to begin with airstrikes, followed by barrages from heavy artillery along the border and the movement of ground troops into Syria. Kurdish forces have some air defenses, such as shoulder-launched surface-to-air

missiles, but would be outgunned by the Turks. Trump has boasted about U.S. success in defeating the so-called Islamic State, but his critics now accuse him of abandoning a U.S. ally, setting the Kurds up to be killed. They also worry that if the Kurds end up fighting Turkish forces, they won’t be able to guard detention centers in Syria that house thousands of captured IS fighters. Trump supporters say the president’s threat of sanctions could make Erdogan second-guess his planned incursion or perhaps limit it so as not to be slapped with financial penalties that would hurt the Turkish economy. Trump on Monday said he was fulfilling a campaign promise to withdraw from “endless war” in the Middle East, and he warned Turkey that he would ruin its economy if any American personnel are harmed. Striking a notably friendlier tone, Trump on Tuesday said Erdogan will visit the White House on Nov. 13. He defended Ankara as a big U.S. trading partner, saying it supplies steel for F-35 fighter jets. In fact, the Trump administration removed Turkey from the F-35 program last summer because the Turks refused to cancel the purchase of a Russian air defense system that is incompatible with NATO forces. As part of that process, the U.S. will stop using any Turkish supplies and parts by March 2020. Trump said Turkey understands that “any unforced or unnecessary fighting by Turkey will be devastating to their economy and to their very fragile currency.” Turkey’s vice president said his country won’t bow to threats in an apparent response to Trump’s warning to Ankara about the scope of its planned military incursion into Syria. Fuat Oktay said in a speech Tuesday that Turkey is intent on combatting Kurdish fighters across its border in Syria and on creating a zone that would allow Turkey to resettle Syrian refugees there. “Where Turkey’s security is concerned, we determine our own path, but we set our own limits,” Oktay said.

FEDERAL RESERVE

Powell sees cooler US hiring in possible hint of rate cuts BY CHRISTOPHER RUGABER ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Tuesday that U.S. job growth since early last year was not as robust as thought, a hint that the Fed may be ready to keep cutting interest rates to support the economy. Powell also said the Fed will soon announce plans to buy Treasurys, likely short-term bills, to try to pump more cash into overnight money markets. The goal is to keep short-term rates at their target level and isn’t needed to support the economy, the Fed chairman added. Downward revisions to the government’s hiring data, announced in August, suggest less upward pressure on wages and inﬂation. “Where we had seen a booming job market, we now see more-moderate growth,” Powell said in a speech at an economic conference in Denver. The Fed raised its benchmark short-term rate four times last year, ending at a range of 2.25% to 2.5%. The reasoning behind these

rate hikes was based in part on the notion that brisk hiring would enable workers to secure higher pay, which would ultimately lead to higher inﬂation. Yet so far, the pace of income gains and price increases has been modest. Since the start of this year, the Fed has reversed two of those hikes, and investors expect a third rate cut late this month, according to market gauges . Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, said Powell’s remarks Tuesday were “consistent with a further easing” of interest rates at the Fed’s Oct. 28-29 meeting. In his remarks, Powell addressed the upheaval that occurred in a vital corner of the ﬁnancial system in September. A shortage of funds in the overnight lending markets used mostly by banks lifted the Fed’s rate above the top of its target range. Corporate tax payments due at the end of the quarter and bond sales by the federal government had soaked up so much cash as to send the overnight rates sharply higher. To try to prevent that from recurring,

Powell said the Fed is considering buying Treasury bills. Typically, the Fed creates new currency to make such purchases, which boost cash reserves available in short-term lending markets. “Neither the recent technical issues nor the purchases of Treasury bills we are contemplating to resolve them should materially a�ect” interest rate policy, Powell said. The move is a tacit admission by the chairman that the Fed let the level of cash reserves fall too low. Oxford Economics has forecast that the Fed will buy up to roughly $480 billion in Treasurys over the next two years to meet the demand for cash in short-term lending markets. During the Great Recession and its aftermath, the Fed bought more than $1 trillion in Treasury and mortgage bonds to try to lower longer-term loan rates to encourage more borrowing and spending. The central bank dubbed the program “quantitative easing,” or QE. In this case, Powell stressed that unlike QE, the forthcoming purchases aren’t

intended to stimulate the economy. “This is not QE,” he said. “This is nothing like it at all.” In his remarks Tuesday, Powell did not directly address the Fed’s next steps on interest rates. But he said the central bank “will act as appropriate” to support the economy and hiring. “At present, the jobs and inflation pictures are favorable,” he said. “But there are risks to this favorable outlook,” he added, referring specifically to the U.S.-China trade war and Brexit. Major overseas economies, such as Germany, are also stumbling. Powell also acknowledged that the Fed now recognizes that the unemployment rate can fall lower than it previously thought without sparking high inflation. That allows the economy to keep growing and to lead more people to look for and find work. He also said he did not see signs of an economy overheating. “This feels very sustainable,” he said.

Nobel Prize

Are we alone? Nobel Prize goes to 3 who tackled cosmic query By Seth Borenstein and David Keyton Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) – They are two of the most fundamental questions not just of science, but of humanity: How did we get here? And are we alone? A Canadian-American cosmologist and two Swiss scientists split this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for not quite answering those universal questions, but getting closer to the cosmic truths. Canadian-born James Peebles, 84, an emeritus professor at Princeton University, won for his theoretical discoveries in cosmology, about what happened soon after the Big Bang that eventually led to the formation of galaxies and the universe as we know it. Swiss star-gazers Michel Mayor, 77, and Didier Queloz, 53, both of the University of Geneva, were honored for finding an exoplanet – a planet outside our solar system – that orbits a sun-like star. A day of deep astrophysics and talk of extraterrestrial life also included pop humor, with the Nobel Prize committee quoting from the theme song of the American TV sitcom, “The Big Bang Theory,” whose protagonists, Sheldon and Amy, won a physics Nobel in the series finale, and a giggling Peebles referring to singer Bob Dylan. “This year’s Nobel laureates in physics have painted a picture of the universe far stranger and more wonderful than we ever could have imagined,” said Ulf Danielsson of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in announcing the laureates. “Our view of our place in the universe will never be the same again.” Peebles’ work is a deeply theoretical look back in time and space at how the universe came to its current form, mostly filled with dark matter and dark energy we can’t even see. It’s probably the first Nobel for purely theoretical cosmology, instead of something observed, noted CalTech physicist Sean Carroll. Peebles, hailed as one of the most influential cosmologists of his time, who realized the importance of the cosmic radiation background born of the Big Bang, will collect one half of the 9-million kronor ($918,000) cash award. “Much of it will go to charity,” Peebles told colleagues at a Princeton news conference. Then after a pause, he changed that to “Some of it will go to charity. Some of it will go to our children.” Mayor, who is an astrophysicist, and Queloz, an astronomer who is also at the University of Cambridge in Britain, will share the other half. Their finding of the first planet outside our solar system circling a star like our own made astron-

omers look harder for life elsewhere in the universe. “Maybe we can discover some form of life. We don’t know what kind of form,” Mayor said Tuesday as he arrived in Madrid for a scientific speaking engagement. He said scientists “are absolutely certain that a lot of these planets have good conditions for life.” Mayor and Queloz started a revolution in astronomy when they discovered 51 Pegasi B, a gaseous ball comparable with Jupiter, in 1995 – a time when, as Mayor recalled, “no one knew whether exoplanets existed or not.” That was “the first step in our search for, ‘Are we alone?’” said astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger, director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University. More than 4,000 exoplanets have since been found in the Milky Way, and scientists think one out of every four or five stars have planets. “We have 200 billion stars out there in our galaxy alone, so I like our chances,” Kaltenegger said. Queloz was meeting Tuesday with other academics interested in finding new planets when the press office at Cambridge University interrupted to tell him the big news: He had won the Nobel. He thought it was joke at first. “I could barely breathe,” Queloz told The Associated Press. “It’s enormous. It’s beyond usual emotions. My hand was shaking for a long time. I’m trying to digest it.” Geoff Marcy, who headed one of the teams that rivaled Mayor and Queloz, praised their work. In the 1990s “we were all trying to carry a search for planets without ever thinking we would succeed,” Marcy said. “None of us imagined even finding one, never mind the thousands we found.” Marcy, who left the University of California Berkeley after accusations of sexual harassment, said he didn’t know if he would have shared in the prize if it weren’t for the scandal. Swedish academy member Mats Larsson said this year’s was “one of the easiest physics prizes for a long time to explain.” That can’t quite be said for Peebles’ theoretical work. “Jim Peebles absolutely was one of the leaders in trying to understand how did we get here, the nature of cosmology, the nature of the universe at large,” said astronomer Dimitar Sasselov, director of Harvard University’s Origins of Life Initiative. Peebles’ work, which began in the mid-1960s, set the stage for a “transformation” of cosmology over the last half-century, using theoretical tools and calculations that helped interpret traces

from the infancy of the universe, the Nobel committee said. A clearly delighted Peebles giggled repeatedly during a phone interview with AP, recalling how he answered a 5:30 a.m. phone call from Stockholm thinking that “it’s either something very wonderful or it’s something horrible.” The astrophysicist, who said his life had suddenly turned topsy-turvy, will make sure he picks up his prize. “I’ve always loved Bob Dylan,” he said, referring to the singer-songwriter who won the literature prize in 2016 but refused to participate in the Nobel ceremony. “I can’t forgive him for not showing up to the scene of (his) Nobel prize.” And in a case of life imitating art, Tuesday’s Nobel Prize announcement included the opening lyrics of “The Big Bang Theory” theme song: “Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state, then nearly 14 billion years ago, expansion started.” The sitcom was a “fantastic achievement” that brought the “world of science to laptops and living rooms around the world,” said Goran Hansson, secretary general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. So referencing its theme song

seemed fitting, he said. The cash prize comes with a gold medal and a diploma that are received at an elegant ceremony in Stockholm on Dec. 10, the anniversary of the death of prize founder Alfred Nobel in 1896, together with the winners of five other Nobel prizes. The sixth one, the peace prize, is handed out in Oslo, Norway, on the same day. On Monday, Americans William G. Kaelin Jr. and Gregg L. Semenza and Britain’s Peter J. Ratcliffe won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, for discovering details of how the body’s cells sense and react to low oxygen levels, providing a foothold for developing new treatments for anemia, cancer and other diseases. Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and the inventor of dynamite, decided the physics, chemistry, medicine and literature prizes should be awarded in Stockholm, and the peace prize in Oslo. The Nobel Prize for Chemistry will be announced Wednesday, two Literature Prizes will be awarded on Thursday, and the Peace Prize comes Friday. This year will see two Literature Prizes handed out because the one last year was suspended after a scandal rocked the Swedish Academy.

Breaking up is hard to do By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

Every time a new season rolls around it gets harder to find time to watch all of the shows you follow. Before long your DVR is filled with dozens of episodes you know you’ll never get around to watching. Sometimes that means making hard choices (or in some cases, not-so-hard choices) and deleting unwatched shows from your DVR and breaking up with formerly favorite shows. One series I finally gave up this year – after several seasons of hate-watching the spectacle it had become – was American Horror Story. I kind of wish I’d done it last year, but I wanted to see some of the regular cast members reprising their roles from past seasons. But this season, when watching the first episode of FX’s American Horror Story: 1984 I thought, “Why? Just…why?” Maybe it’s because I don’t care for the cheesy ‘80s horror flicks the show is parodying this season. Maybe I don’t care for the newer crop of actors. Maybe I’m just tired of the gratuitous nature of the show. It’s probably a bit of all of the above, coupled with an growing list of other shows I like better. I’m also being harsher with new series. While I like the cast of Fox’s Prodigal Son – namely Tom Payne (The Walking Dead), Michael Sheen (Good Omens), and Bellamy Young (Scandal) – it feels like yet another formulaic procedural where a brilliant-yet-broken lead character always solves the case. Plus, I’d rather head Payne and Sheen use their native accents (English and Welsh, respectively), instead of putting on American accents.

Curiosity in the

Corn

I watched the first few episodes of Prodigal Son before relegating it to the status of shows I’ll watch from time-totime instead of every week. There are a couple of other shows I’m on the brink of quitting, and others I’ve decided to bank multiple episodes to binge at a later date. It’s easier to give up on a series I’ve only watched for a season or two – like Supergirl. It’s not a bad show, I’ve just never been into superhero shows. I know a lot of people love it, but haven’t watched it in a couple years, and I really don’t miss it. I think the decision for me to ditch a series comes down to one question: How much am I looking forward to new episodes? When you have multiple episodes saved on the DVR and haven’t been motivated to watch even one (unless you’re waiting for a good time to binge), chances are you’ve lost interest in the current storyline, the characters, or the series itself. That’s a great time to drop a show. Face it. Between broadcast and cable networks and a slew of premium streaming services, there’s too much good TV to keep up with. Selective viewing means continually curating your favorite shows. Some will stay, some need to go to make space for new ones. But the best thing about our digital age is that if you regret breaking up with a series, the chances are good that you’ll be able to stream old episodes at a later date if you have second thoughts. And in the case of anthology series like American Horror Story, the stories change each season, so you can always dive back in later.

Stock Market

Stocks skid as tensions flare ahead of US-China trade talks By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga Associated Press

Stocks closed broadly lower on Wall Street Tuesday as tensions between the U.S. and China flared ahead of negotiations aimed at resolving the costly trade war between the world’s two biggest economies. The sell-off, which accelerated in the last hour of regular trading, knocked more than 300 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Technology companies, banks and health care stocks bore the brunt of the selling, which stretched the market’s losses further into a fourth week. The market slide began after the U.S. blacklisted a group of Chinese companies, claiming that their technology plays a role in the repression of China’s Muslim minority groups. The State Department also imposed restrictions on visas for Chinese officials. The moves cast more doubt on whether Washington and Beijing will find a resolution to their long-running and economically damaging trade conflict. Envoys from the U.S. and China are scheduled to meet in Washington on Thursday for another round of trade talks. “The rhetoric on both sides, whether it’s the U.S. putting certain Chinese technology companies on a blacklist, or China vowing to retaliate with a ‘stay tuned’, it

just keeps upping the temperature in the room and creating greater uncertainty for businesses, for consumers and for investors,” said Sameer Samana, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. The S&P 500 index lost 45.73 points, or 1.6%, to 2,893.06. The Dow slid 313.98 points, or 1.2%, to 26,164.04. The Nasdaq, which is heavily weighted with technology companies, dropped 132.52 points, or 1.7%, to 7,823.78. Smaller company stocks were also big decliners, sending the Russell 2000 index down 25.19 points, or 1.7%, to 1,472.60. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.53% from 1.55% late Monday, a signal that investors favored lower-risk investments amid the trade war turmoil. Utilities and real estate companies, both safe-play sectors, held up better than the rest of the market, though they also ended the day in the red. The latest escalation in U.S.-China tensions adds yet another worry for investors already anxious over a bevy of political and economic concerns. Last week, the S&P 500 posted its first back-to-back losses of 1% this year as surprisingly weak numbers in surveys of manufacturing and service industries showed the U.S.-China trade war is threatening U.S. economic growth. The Trump administration’s moves to

blacklist select Chinese companies and restrict visas on certain officials dampened investors’ hopes that the negotiations this week will yield progress. “The jockeying for position in front of the Thursday and Friday meetings in Washington has intensified perhaps more than the market could have imagined,” said Julian Emanuel, chief equity and derivatives strategist at BTIG. Technology stocks were among the biggest losers as chipmakers absorbed the impact of the latest U.S. restrictions on sales to Chinese tech companies that develop facial recognition and other artificial intelligence technology. Ambarella tumbled 9.5% and Nvidia fell 3.9%. The sector has shouldered much of the volatility from swings in trade war sentiment because many of the companies face bigger risks to sales and supply chains. Several medical device makers knocked down health care stocks. Thermo Fisher fell 6% and Boston Scientific slid 6.1%. Banks also dropped as bond yields fell. Bank of America lost 2.4%. Benchmark crude oil fell 12 cents to settle at $52.63 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international standard, slid 11 cents to close at $58.24 a barrel. While the price of U.S. crude is up just under 9% so far this year, it remains off by more than 27% from a year ago. That

slide in prices over the past 12 months has weighed on energy stocks this year. Energy is the biggest loser among the S&P 500’s 11 sectors. It’s down 2.8% for the year and 27.8% over the past 12 months. It’s also the worst-performing sector so far this month. The stocks are likely to get hammered again when energy companies report their third-quarter results later this month. The sector is expected to report a nearly 10% drop in revenue for the third quarter due to a 19% decline in crude oil prices from a year ago, according to Credit Suisse analyst Jonathan Golub. The analyst expects the sector to reduce earnings growth for the S&P 500 by 1.9% for the third quarter. Wwholesale gasoline rose a penny to $1.58 per gallon. Heating oil added 1 cent to $1.91 per gallon. Natural gas fell 2 cents to $2.29 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gold slipped 50 cents to $1,503.90 per ounce, silver rose 16 cents to $17.70 per ounce and copper was little changed at $2.57 per pound. The dollar fell to 107.14 Japanese yen from 107.28 yen on Monday. The euro weakened to $1.0954 from $1.0973. Major stock indexes in Europe finished broadly lower after the British government warned that chances of a separation deal with the European Union are fading.

loved ones. The most common wish is for a Disney vacation, but the variety of wishes is amazing. Some wishes celebrate the end of treatment and provide a way to thank family caregivers for their strong support. Some wishes are to take a much-needed break from the overly demanding rigors of the cancer fight. And others are last wishes to spend what few moments remain with loved ones. The saddest wish is the one unfulfilled because the young adult died way too soon. Unfortunately, five years after their cancer diagnosis, 26% of these young adults will perish. Currently a Nik Wish averages $6000 to fulfill. Nik’s Home Run is the charity’s largest annual fundraising event. It’s a 7K Run, 1.5 Mile Fun Walk, and a huge Silent Auction that is free, open to the public, and conducted by Nik’s Grammy. This year, Nik’s Home Run is on Saturday, October 12th at the Rockford Rivets Stadium in Loves Park. Grammy’s Silent Auction starts at 8 a.m.; the Run and Fun Walk start at 9 a.m. This is a family friendly event, kids

welcomed. Starting at 10:30 a.m., the deeply moving Awards Ceremony will honor both the outstanding runners and the courageous young adults that Nik’s Wish serves. This year, please join the friendly crowd of runners, walkers, spectators, bargain-hunters, families, and volunteers in support of Nik’s Wish at Nik’s Home Run. All proceeds from this event will help Nik’s Wish continue to BRING JOY to even more young cancer warriors. So, Nik’s Wish is a small, all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charity based in Rockford. Its mission is to bring precious moments of joy to young adults (18-24), and their loved ones, fighting cancer. This is done by granting wishes to these young adults who are too old for Make-A-Wish type programs. Since 2012, Nik’s Wish has granted nearly 150 wishes in over 30 states, with northern Illinois having the greatest concentration of fulfilled wishes. It truly is an awesome treasure of hope and joy, and a goodwill ambassador for the city of Rockford. To learn more, please visit www. nikswish.org.

NIK’S Wish

What is Nik’s Wish? Rockford’s Awesome Treasure of Hope and Joy From Nik’s Wish

The Nikolas Ritschel Foundation

There’s never a good time to hear the words, “you have cancer.” It’s especially hard when you’ve just turned 18, that magical age to start your adult life. Your whole life awaits before you to choose your path and make it your own, until those words sink in. Now instead of planning your future, you’re fighting for your life. While your close friends are now distant, off at college or starting families, you’re with your parents in the pediatric ward of a hospital having chemo pumped into your veins. Just yesterday you were so excited to finally be out on your own, free of your parents; and today, they are your life line. The founder of Nik’s Wish, Kelli Ritschel Boehle often hears this same heartbreaking scenario when young adult cancer warriors apply for their Nik Wish grant. Nik’s Wish, The Nikolas Ritschel Foundation was born out of such a courageous fight with cancer. Nik Ritschel was

diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma just before turning 18; so, he and his family were able to go on a wonderful Make-A-Wish respite vacation. During his many grueling cancer treatments, Nik met Nate, who was also suffering from a Sarcoma cancer. Unfortunately, Nate was diagnosed after turning 18, which made him ineligible for Make-A-Wish type programs. In March of 2012, just before he passed away, Nik’s last wish was to help Nate, and others like him who missed out on a wish. Nik discovered the wish-coverage age gap, which his mother, Kelli then confirmed. Shortly thereafter this wonderful, charitable foundation was born. Nate received the first Nik Wish, a trip to California for a precious family reunion. Nate passed away in July of 2016. A wish provides a desperately needed respite from the grueling, ongoing cancer treatments a young adult and their family endure. A wish also creates hope, encouragement, precious lasting memories, and joy during a very dark time in the lives of these courageous young adults and their

Rockford Rocked

Spotlight on AudioDrive guitarist Jay Strong Todd Houston Contributor

Rockford Rocked Interview: Hi Jay, how have you been? Jay Strong: I’m doing well! Yeah, I’m kind of a dinosaur in the local scene (laughs). I’ve been playing on and off for 30 years or so. Somehow, I have always been blessed to be surrounded by great musicians who share my ambitions. AudioDrive has been my longest run – actually 12 years in October – and after several lineup changes somehow the band keeps evolving. Each version holds

a lot of great memories for me! RRI: You have been rocking this town literally for years now. I can recall at least five or six bands that you have been a part of just off the top of my head. Your band AudioDrive has been chugging along for at least seven or eight years and having great success locally. How do you find the time to juggle a full-time band and be a full-time human being? JS: As far as time? Great question. I guess it has just became the norm to fill the schedule then live life around it the

best I can. I’m more selective these days so we’re not quite as busy as we have been in the past. Fortunately, my wife and family understand my love and passion for the music and performing. I’ve always said when I stop having fun, I’ll call it a day, I’ll be good with that. RRI: I understand you are from the Roscoe area originally. Roscoe to me doesn’t sound like the ideal place to be exposed to live music and rock ‘n’ roll in general. However, I could be wrong. JS: You know, I actually grew up in Rockford and moved to Roscoe after high school. I rented an A-frame party house on the river and bought my first guitar from Ralph Nielson. Growing up I lived near 7th Street and would cruise Ralph Nielson’s music store in awe. Seeing all the Cheap Trick records on the wall was definitely a huge inspiration. Eventually I ended up trading the guitar for drums which I played through high school. My family moved around a ton growing up, so I met lots of musicians from all over. I picked up the guitar again in my 20s and started my metal years and was hooked for life! RRI: Back in high school where were the best locations to pick up the latest releases from your favorite bands? JS: Co-Op records, The Grass Menagerie and a couple other head shops I can’t even recall, go figure. I also joined several record clubs back in those days and waited patiently for the mailman. RRI: What were the happening hot spots for live music then in Rockford? JS: In the early days it was Corey’s Bluff, Anytime Club, Spirit of ‘76, County Line (formerly Sgt. Peppers in Beloit) then Hurricane Harry’s, Cubby O’Brien, etc. RRI: Tell us about your heroes or the people you looked up to for inspiration musically. JS: Well, there are too many to list really. Almost every musician/band in Rockford gave me the inspiration but bands like Armed Vision, RIPT and Zanthus were some. A big one is my forever friend Paul Edler (local sound engineer). He started his career right by my side. He’s always inspired me musically and didn’t even know it. RRI: You are a cancer survivor and have been clear for a few years now. Congratulations! As we all know family and support are a big part of recovery and healing. They say that music can help heal the body and soul and I believe it to be true. In what ways did it help you in your overall attitude and state of mind (if at all) while fighting this terrible illness? JS: I had a real scare in late 2017. It was

like a dream from the moment I got the news and life changed instantly. It was a constant battle of procedures, testing and waiting for results. I had to learn to let go of the daily focus on the disease. I found comfort in listening to oldies and mostly music from my childhood and youth. It took me back to simpler times. It also helped me realize I have had a rich wonderful life and no regrets. All thanks to God, I had surgery with no further treatments and eventually returned to playing music. RRI: You guys (AudioDrive) draw a big crowd whenever you play. Is it the song selection, the quality of musicianship or all of the above? JS: All the above. Music from the ‘80s came back around and seems to be stronger than ever. Again, it really comes down to taking us all back in time and enjoying those feelings of our youth. Those were great times. On top of all that I am surrounded by incredible talent, energy and chemistry on stage every night. RRI: What was the largest crowd that you guys have played to thus far? JS: Man, it’s hard to say but I remember playing Country Thunder (yes we played Country Thunder) I could not see where the crowd ended and they were so loud it was such a rush! RRI: I’m going to say a word and you answer with the first thing that comes to mind. RRI: Coop Records and Tapes (Rockford - Beloit ‘70s-’80s). JS: Vinyl records, bongs, incense and black light posters. RRI: Gibson Les Paul guitars. JS: Love the neck and tone but damn they’re too heavy for a 3-hour show! One of my Les Paul’s was stolen from my van after a show many years ago. I never have recovered from that one. RRI: Tim “Hollywood” Merwin (local band manager and music advocate). JS: Hollywood was a long-time friend and managed my band Stronghold. I still have his Iron Maiden “Eddie” figure he left behind at our rehearsal space. Rest Easy Hollywood. RRI: The Cherry Lounge (former local music venue). JS: Bar room brawls during the show and me mixing metal bands in the basement, but mostly Sammy the owner would jump on stage and rock his acoustic guitar when the till was ringing hot! RRI: What’s next for Jay Strong? JS: Hopefully winning the lottery! Until then, Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind.

Inspiring People in Rockford: Ethan Taylor

Ethan Taylor Rockford Area CVB

Who: Ethan Taylor Age: 21 Find Them At: @ethan_gets_fit Q: Tell about your background story & your success A: I started my weight loss journey in January of 2018 after dropping out of college and moving back home because of a back injury and mental health issues. Over the next 18 months I cut myself in half going from 368 -> 184. Q: What’s the biggest factor that has helped you be successful? A: My family, support from the community, and accountability. I have the best family in the world. They have been nothing but supportive and helpful during my whole life and throughout this journey. I was also lucky enough to be apart of the Food 4 Fuel

community who really lifted me up and held me accountable. Q: What are your success habits? A: Being consistent and persistent. I’ve “failed” or fallen off track many times in the last couple of years but I’ve always managed to get back on track. Q: What mistakes have you made along the way? A: I’ve had a couple of weeks where I thought I could outwork a bad diet or cheated more than I should’ve. I also tend to overwork myself which isn’t good for my body or mind. Q: What was the hardest decision you ever had to make? A: To say enough is enough and finally take back control of my life. I let my mental health and physical limitations hold me back for 19 years. I finally made a decision

to put myself first and focused on what’s important - my mental and physical health. Q: If you could start all over again, what would you do differently? A: I wouldn’t be so hard on myself when it came to bad weeks. I would tell myself to take it slow and not worry as much about the scale but more about how I feel physically. Q: What’s one change anyone should make right now to help them get closer to their success? A: Don’t wait around for the right time. If you want something, go get it. Limitations are all mental facades we create to tell ourselves we can’t do something. Q: What aspect of Rockford helped you to succeed? A: I really embrace Rockford for what it is. It’s a gritty, tough, resilient city. We watch out for each other here and I love everything

about it. I always try and do what I can to make sure that I’m always making my city proud. Shoutout the GR815 Q: What is your favorite thing about Rockford? A: It’s hard to just choose one, so I’ll list a couple. I love the comeback Rockford is making, I love how much the city has to offer, I love the diversity, I really love the pride people have in this city. Oh and also Beefaroo. Q: What is the best advice you can give? A: Just keep going and doing something to better yourself everyday. People rarely succeed at what they set out to accomplish on the first try so don’t quit at the first bump in the road. Everyday is a new opportunity to succeed and be great.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Henry Ford’s “Hemp Car” BY ALLEN PENTICOFF COLUMNIST

Automotive pioneer and industrialist, Henry Ford, grew up on a farm and always considered himself a farmer, despite being one of the wealthiest men in the world. He would often try to integrate farm products into his industrial products. To that end, many of the early Model T cars, roughly 40,000 of them, were designed to run on ethanol that was derived from hemp. It took 10,000 acres of hemp to provide the feedstock for this biofuel. Long a victim of the great marijuana scare, hemp has no THC content and thus has no psychoactive e�ect if smoked or consumed. Nonetheless, its association with the psychoactive side of the family caused hemp to be banned from most markets. Industrial hemp, which is now again becoming legal to grow and earning considerable attention in the world of agriculture due to its many proven uses, was also allegedly an ingredient in a prototype car built by Ford in 1941. Indeed, during a time when World War Two was well underway and steel was a strategic resource, anything that could help the farmers and make possible continued production of personal automobiles was worth looking into in Ford’s mind. As the car was developed, claims of improved safety, fuel e�ciency and production streamlining were also claimed. The internet is rife with little stories about Henry Ford’s Hemp Car. But alas, the truth is that very little if any hemp was involved. Nonetheless, other plant-based ingredients were used in making this early plastic car. A tubular steel frame and a conventional 60 horsepower Ford ﬂat-head V-8 engine was used (it could run on ethanol too). However, various sources indicate that soybean ﬁber along with phenolic resin (a common early plastic binder made of coal tar) were the primary components of the 14 body panels. One source, quoting a newspaper report on the debut of the plastic car claimed that the panels consisted of 70

percent fiber and 30 percent resin, with the fiber components being 50 percent slash pine, 30 percent straw, 10 percent ramie (same stu� used to wrap Egyptian mummies) and lastly 10 percent hemp. So it appears that this car was perhaps durable and lightweight but the actual materials were not all that carbon neutral or even negative as some recent claims have made. It is not hard to find a video of an axe being swung against the trunk lid of a similar car. These videos from 1941 claim that the plastic was ten times more dent resistant than steel while lighter in weight. True, but it turns out that the car in this video of the axe bouncing o� the trunk lid is in fact Henry Ford’s personal car with only the trunk lid made of the agri-plastic. It is not the “hemp car” in the axe scene. Although the same videos start by showing the rather ordinary looking “hemp car” driving about. Only one was ever built and it was later destroyed. Rumors of DuPont bringing about its demise abound as well. Not going there. More recently, another wealthy fellow, Bruce Dietzen, invested $200,000 in building a Shelby A.C. Cobra styled sports car using a custom composite material that he claims has 100 pounds of hemp in it. He is also claiming that this is a carbon negative vehicle as opposed to the normal 10 tons of carbon released in the building of each standard automobile. I find that claim to be a bit of hyperbole. But - at least he’s considering a build material that is somewhat sustainable. However, to be fair to steel, while it takes a lot of energy and carbon emissions to go from raw ore to a finished product, once it reaches the end of its useful life, it can be endlessly recycled with much lower energy input needed. Dietzen’s “hemp car” can be seen in a YouTube video with Jay Leno investigating. Nice looking car! But unless the resins are biodegradable, and the body can be recycled, there can be little claim for this car being sustainable - although it may help farmers a bit more than the steel companies - a goal of Henry Ford too.

Origins of the Rock River Trail Initiative BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

The Rock River serves as a major unifying feature for southern Wisconsin and northwest Illinois. As such it has received considerable attention from people focused on preserving those qualities. The late Frank Schier expressed his interest regarding developing a trail system for the public to enjoy. He saw the existence of the Appalachian Trail as a model for what he had in mind for the Rock River. We expressed our support for the project suggesting that he should develop the project and it do it as part of the existing Friends of the Rock. Initially Frank wanted to emphasize improving the water quality of the river and include a water monitoring project as an integral part of it. After a number of discussions he agreed to focus more on the recreational potential of the river while encouraging people to enjoy its beauty through a diverse system of trails. Frank organized the first major meeting in Rockford intent on generating support for the project in Rockford and included major political leaders from Wisconsin and Illinois to contribute their views on the benefits of the project to citizens along the river corridor. One key backer was Chad Pregracke who administers the very successful Mississippi River project focused on cleaning up the debris within the river. Chad runs a very successful reforestation project and o�ered young oak seedlings to the Rock River Trail Initiative and continues to provide young trees for planting projects along the corridor. While Frank and Debbie Thompson of Dixon spent the first few years delivering the trees up and down the river, lately Steve Rypkema in Ogle County has accepted orders for trees and seen to it that they are delivered to interests

cooperating with the initiative. In attendance at that initial Rockford session was Greg Farnham who soon emerged as a close working partner with Frank. The late Dave Schrieber later joined with Greg and Frank and played a key role in developing the document submitted to the National Park Commission for consideration as a national water trail which was subsequently granted. The initial trail emphasis included ways to enjoy the water resources of the river whether canoeing or kayaking on it. E�ort was put into providing maps and signs to guide users of the river resources. The trail system has expanded dramatically and includes biking, driving, flying options. Attention is also given to the towns, parks and riverside establishments of potential interest to explorers of the Rock River and its watershed. Now is a good time of the year to hike, bike, drive or fly over the corridor and appreciate the splendor of fall along the Rock River. A recent video by Nels Ackerman provides a colorful vision of some of the trails awaiting explorers of the Rock River Watershed. The river corridor is also appealing to bird lovers who wish to follow the fall migration southward along the Rock River. Eagles, hawks, herons, ducks and geese can often be spotted flying above. For those wishing to be overwhelmed at the site of bird populations should spend some time along the Horicon marsh. A Rock River Trail visitor’s center has been established at the Nature of the Confluence Center and is hosted by Theresa Oldenburg the director of the Center. A recent announcement Featured Lyle Lindholm an 87 year old veteran who has set his site on walking the entire length of the trail.

At the office, there will be a mountain of work on your desk. A good strategy is necessary to increase your revenue and get a promotion. Leading by example will help you achieve your goals.

ROCKFORD - When Rockford IceHogs defenseman Dennis Gilbert came to the Chicago Blackhawks organizations at the end of his 2018-19 collegiate season at Notre Dame, he was like a lot of third-round draft picks: adjusting in hopes of having a solid pro career. This season, it’s quite a different story for the Buffalo, New York native. He’s got his first AHL season out of the way and comes into the 2019-20 campaign not only as last year’s Most Improved Player, but a different one altogether. He impressed the Blackhawks in training camp more than your average third-rounder, which was good enough for Chicago to take him on its Global Series trip that included its season against Philadelphia in Prague last Friday. Gilbert was a late call-up after being assigned to Rockford before the Blackhawks announced their opening day roster. However, because veteran Calvin de Haan was held out with a groin injury, Gilbert started the season up top instead of with Rockford in Iowa. And although he was reassigned the next day, more calls from the big club are likely to come sooner than later. “I think my mindset coming here last year from the first day I got here was (to) not really look long-picture, but just to get better each day,” he said. “And having that mind and being consistent with working into that was an objective of mine that kind of paid off.” Gilbert said he kept the same mindset over the summer as he prepared for camp, during which he proved he’s tough, physical and surprisingly skilled for a big, stay-at-home defender. “He’s a turned into a matured player now,” Rockford coach Derek King said. “He’s really worked on his game. He’s turned himself into an NHL hockey player.” Gilbert, 22, finished the 2018-19 AHL campaign with five goals and nine assists in 63 games with Rockford and posted a game-high six hits in his NHL debut against St. Louis on April 2, his only recall. And while he knows he’s improving, there’s a level he must reach to move beyond bubble status and be a fixture with the Blackhawks. “I think I’m a good skater,” he said. “But I want to be a great skater. I’m a good defender, but I want to be a great defender. And to be great at that level, you have to be dominant at this level, so I am going to be working really hard in practice and in games to make sure I am pushing myself. Whether it’s my

gap control, using my feet to get up ice and kill plays, being good offensively, taking a leadership role down here, all those things are going to help me get better.” The Blackhawks are currently carrying seven defensemen, including Connor Murphy, who’s also recovering from a groin strain and was a scratch last Friday against the Flyers. Murphy has returned to practice while de Haan has not as of this report. If both are scratched for tomorrow’s home opener against San Jose, Gilbert will likely get another call.

Rockford dropped its season opener 3-2 at the Iowa Wild last Friday. The IceHogs are now 8-11-1-1 all-time in the first game of the season, including 4-7-1-1 during AHL affiliation. The last time Rockford won a season opener was a 4-0 shutout of Cleveland to begin the 2016-17 season. Matthew Highmore scored the IceHogs’ first goal of the season with a shorthanded strike in the second period at Iowa. Highmore leads all IceHogs skaters (at least 50 games with the team) in goals/game since making his debut during the 2017-18 season with 28 markers in 77 contests (.36 goals/game). In addition, he now has nine goals with two hat tricks in 11 career games against the Wild. Four IceHogs skaters made their AHL debut during the season opener in Iowa. Forwards MacKenzie Entwistle and Mikael Hakkarainen and defensemen Nicolas Beaudin and Adam Boqvist each made both their professional and AHL debut during the contest, with Entwistle tallying the primary assist on Highmore’s goal. Entwistle picked up his first point (assist) in his first pro game Friday. The rookie forward tallied a point-per-game average in the OHL last season and won a second consecutive OHL championship. He concluded the regular season with 57 points (30g, 27a) in 57 games between Hamilton and Guelph. Dylan Sikura scored a goal against the Wild and has now tallied five goals over his last seven AHL games with the IceHogs dating to April 2. Including Friday’s marker, Sikura now has points in 11 of his last 15 AHL contests and 14 total points (5g, 9a) over that 15-game span dating Jan. 21. The Hogs scored the first goal of the game on Highmore’s second-period tally. Rockford netted the first goal in 36 of 76 games (47.4%) during the 2018-19 season and lost only eight games when scoring first (24-8-1-3).

London Burning: Bears’ offensive identity has gone incognito By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Identity acts as the heart of every human endeavor. To be keenly selfaware, to understand one’s life purpose, is the greatest gift that a person can be bestowed. People spend so much time, energy, and fruitless effort attempting to figure out who they are and where the puzzle piece of their life fits in that, over the course of their existence, they never figure out how to actually live their life. They push themselves to a point of mental and physical exhaustion until they have nothing left to give. Until their dreams wash away in their never-ending pursuit of self-actualization. Their journey, in turn, becomes an eternal trial run of which has no satisfying payoff. They learn and they learn and they learn, but can never apply it anywhere because it doesn’t really define their essence. A construction of a self-imposed hamster wheel with no inclination to stop and take a break for water. Because of this, knowing who you are and where your final destination is, becomes half the battle of every success. There is no triumph, at least one without a tremendous deal of fortune involved, without an inherent grasp of a sense of belonging. Identity is such a powerful tool, it catalyzes through comprehension of the most complex object imaginable: the human mind. There’s nothing as nearly acutely personal, and there never can be. After a lethargic 24-21 loss to the Raiders in England, the hot button conversation for the Bears became their offensive identity, or lack thereof. One of the worst offenses in football—currently ranked securely in the bottom tier of the NFL among juggernauts such as the win-less Dolphins—Matt Nagy’s bunch is a group that does nothing consistently well. When asked to pick up the slack for a fatigued defense, the Bears’ offense fell flat, exposing a fatal flaw. Even worse in this circumstance, the Bears don’t seem to have any answers as to why. And when you don’t have answers, reasonable solutions are cloaked in the darkness of confusion. A visibly frustrated Matt Nagy could offer only exasperation after another example of his offense’s listlessness. “Offensively, the numbers show – and we all know, we all understand it – we’re not playing where we need to be at,” Nagy said. “We need to be more productive. A “need to be more productive” would be the understatement of this era of Bears football. It’s disturbingly similar to the often macabre Marc Trestman era

that continually echoed sentiments of quality practices week after week after week, with nothing to show for it once the lights came on. To be fair to Nagy and his coaching staff, flashes. There is a burgeoning offense under layers of mud and general muck ... somewhere. Most of those instances of quality arrive in seemingly low percentage lobs to physical freaks like Allen Robinson. The epitome of a possession receiver through and through, the 25-year-old Robinson is enjoying an ongoing career revival. His 377 receiving yards in five games has him sitting 15th in the league. It’s because a player of Robinson’s caliber turns low percentage throws into efficient, reliable plays. He’s also the ideal juxtaposition to show off the root issues of Chicago’s attack. Since Robinson is the only play-maker the Bears are capable of regularly feeding the ball to, everyone else’s failure to do anything with the ball in their hands, or to even get possession of the ball, is magnified that much more. Robinson’s 377 yards is honorable production from a legitimate No. 1 target and primary facet of an offense. But there’s a caveat: it’s not only almost three times more than Chicago’s next best pass catcher (Tarik Cohen, 128 yards), it’s just barely marginally less than the Bears’ combined team rushing yards (403), which is spread across seven ball-carriers. When one player in one offensive shade almost matches the entire output of seven others, your problems run deep. This gaping wound will require dozens of stitches. Heave the ball up to an athletic basketball player effectively disguised as a receiver and pray might feel like a sustainable strategy. Hell, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, and a whole host of other players built entire Hall of Fame level careers on this skill-set. When it’s the only reliable aspect of an offense, the heaves become actual Hail Mary’s, the penance in this case an absolution of lethargic, uninspired football. The laundry list of faulty wiring the Bears have to take care of on offense aside from Robinson’s predisposition toward taking matters into his own hands is boundless. There’s no master electrician to fix any of these misaligned wires either. Issues that date back to last season take more than a bye week’s time to remedy, a few expensive visits. Chicago can’t block well; they’re currently 25th in adjusted rushing line yards and 25th in adjusted sack rate. They can’t run the ball; the next time David

Montgomery has a breakout game worthy of the pre-draft hype he received in the spring will be the first time. Not to be outdone in general incompetence, their best weapons outside of Robinson are non-factors; Tarik Cohen hasn’t had 100 yards from scrimmage since the outset of last December. Meanwhile, with every dropped pass and miscalculated route and social media grievance, former secondround pick Anthony Miller increasingly resembles more of an also-ran, overconfident bust than a worthwhile core player. All of this conjecture is to say that the Bears technically do possess an offensive identity: They’re inept to the point of inspiring no fear in opposing defenses. They’re disorganized in not even possessing the page, let alone being present on it together as a united front. And they’re cripplingly inefficient to the escalation of self-inflicting wound after self-inflicting wound. The Bears are a team striving, and failing, to have a modern high-flying offense. A team that should be built around a dominant

defense and a ground-and-pound rushing game, but with the ground or pound nowhere to be seen Never one to admittedly dwell on the negatives, Nagy somehow appreciates tough days for an offense that can’t even generate three yards and a cloud of dust. “It’s all right every now and then to have a little kick in the ass, and I’m OK with that,” Nagy said. “They deserve that. We deserve that ... “We have high-character guys who will figure this thing out.” A noble idea from Nagy: the Bears and their offense needed a wake-up call. Now everything will be smooth sailing! What Nagy neglects to mention is that a kick in the ass’s effectiveness diminishes when it happens every week. And when you don’t know who you are, or are much less incapable of opening up to your mistakes, that motivating kick in the ass serves more like a passive, forgettable tap.
