Diplomat: Trump linked Ukraine aid to demand for probe BY LISA MASCARO, MARY CLARE JALONICK AND LAURIE KELLMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) – Former U.S. Ambassador William Taylor provided lawmakers Tuesday with a vivid, detailed and what some lawmakers called “disturbing” account of the way President Donald Trump wanted to put the new Ukraine president “in a public box” by demanding a quid pro quo at the center of the impeachment probe. In a lengthy opening statement to House investigators, Taylor described the way Trump’s demand that “everything” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wanted, including vital military aid to counter Russia, hinged on making a public vow that he would investigate Democrats going back to the 2016 U.S. election as well as a company linked to the family of Trump’s potential 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden. Taylor testified that what he discovered in Kyiv was the Trump administration’s back channel to foreign policy, led by the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and a “weird combination” of “ultimately alarming circumstances” that threaten to erode the United States’ relationship with a budding Eastern European ally. Lawmakers emerging after hours of the private deposition said Taylor relayed a “disturbing” account, including establishing a “direct line” to the quid pro quo at the center of the impeachment probe . Lawmakers said Taylor recalled events that filled in gaps from the testimony of other witnesses, particularly Ambassador Gordon Sondland, who testified last week and whose statements now are being called into question by Taylor’s account. They said Taylor kept records of conversations and documents. “The testimony is very disturbing,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., used the same word. Asked why, he said, “Because it’s becoming more distinct.” Taylor’s appearance was among the most watched because of a text message, released by House investigators earlier in the probe, in which he called Trump’s attempt to hold back military aid to Ukraine “crazy.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said Taylor “drew a straight line” with documents, timelines and individual conversations in his records. “I do not know how you would listen to today’s testimony from Ambassador Taylor and come to any other (conclusion) except that the president abused his power and withheld foreign aid,” she said. Lawmakers did not discuss other details of the closed-door session,

which was expected to continue into the evening. Taylor declined to comment as he entered the deposition. He was the latest diplomat with concerns to testify. Like the others, he was subpoenaed to appear. But the career civil servant’s delivery was credible and consistent, people said, as he answered hours of questions from Democrats and Republicans, drawing silence in the room as lawmakers exchanged glances. Taylor laid out the quid pro quo of the White House’s decision to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless the new president, Zelenskiy, agreed to Trump’s requests to investigate Democrats, according to a person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the private testimony. In a July phone call, Trump told Zelenskiy he wanted “a favor,” which the White House later acknowledged in a rough transcript of the conversation was Trump’s desire for Ukraine to investigate the Democratic National Committee’s email hack in 2016 as well as a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, with ties to Biden’s family. Taylor told lawmakers that another diplomat on the string of text messages, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Sondland, was aware of the demands and later admitted he made a mistake that the aid hinged on agreeing to Trump’s requests, the person said. The account calls into question the testimony from Sondland, a wealthy businessman who donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, who told Congress last week he did not fully remember some details of the events. Sondland may be asked to return to Congress after he testiﬁed that, among other things, he was initially unaware that the gas company was tied to the Bidens. Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif., said Taylor, a career civil servant, had a better recall of details than Sondland. Taylor, a retired diplomat, had been chosen to run the Ukraine embassy after the administration abruptly ousted Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. In a series of text messages released earlier this month by impeachment investigators, Taylor appeared to be alarmed by Trump’s e�orts to withhold U.S. military assistance to Ukraine that had already been approved by Congress. “I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,” Taylor wrote in excerpts of the text messages released by the impeachment investigators. He has stood by that observation in

his private remarks to investigators, according to a person familiar with his testimony who was spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss it. Taylor’s descript ion of Trump’s position is in sharp contrast to how the president has characterized it. Trump has said many times that there was no quid pro quo, though his acting chief of sta�, Mick Mulvaney, contradicted that last week. Mulvaney later tried to walk back his remarks. Taylor, a former Army o�cer, had been serving as executive vice president at the U.S. Institute of Peace, a nonpartisan think tank founded by Congress, when he was appointed to run the embassy in Kyiv. He had served as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009. “He’s the epitome of a seasoned statesman,” said John Shmorhun, an American who heads the agricultural company AgroGeneration. Before retiring from government service, Taylor was involved in diplomatic e�orts surrounding several major international conﬂicts. He served in Jerusalem as U.S. envoy to the Quartet of Mideast peacemakers. He oversaw reconstruction in Iraq from 2004 to 2005, and from Kabul coordinated U.S. and international assistance to Afghanistan from 2002 to 2003. He arrived in Kyiv a month after the inauguration of Ukraine’s new president, prepared to steer the embassy through the transition. After Trump’s phone conversation with Zelenskiy, Taylor exchanged text messages with two of Trump’s point men on Ukraine as they were trying to get Zelenskiy to commit to the investigations before setting a date for a coveted White House visit. In a text message to Sondland on Sept. 1, Taylor bluntly questioned Trump’s motives: “Are we now saying that security assistance and WH meeting are conditioned on investigations?” Sondland instructed Taylor to call him. A week later in texts to Sondland and U.S. envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, Taylor expressed increased concern and referred to the arrangement as “crazy.” Taylor also texted that not giving the military aid to Ukraine would be his “nightmare” scenario because it would send the wrong message to both Kyiv and Moscow: “The Russians love it. (And I quit).” U.S. diplomats based at the Kyiv Embassy have refused to speak with journalists, reﬂecting the sensitivity of the impeachment inquiry. The embassy press o�ce did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.

Syria

Trump finds no simple fix in Syria, other world hotspots By Aamer Madhani and Deb Riechmann Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump’s plan to reverse America’s involvement in “endless wars” has run up against a difficult truth: When it comes to national security, rarely can a simple solution solve a complex problem. After abruptly announcing last week that he would “bring our soldiers home” from Syria, Trump recalibrated and his administration said it would instead redeploy more than 700 to western Iraq to help counter the Islamic State group. And now his latest plan faces another wrinkle: The Iraqi military said Tuesday those U.S. troops don’t have permission to stay in Iraq. Me a nw h i le, T u rk e y a nd Ru s si a announced Tuesday that they would jointly patrol most of the northeastern Syrian border with Turkey, underscoring the effects of the U.S. creating a power vacuum the Russians have been quick to fill. In Washington, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, typically a strong Trump supporter, introduced legislation prodding the president to halt the withdrawal. But he counseled against economic sanctions on Turkey, lest the U.S. “further drive a NATO ally into the arms of the Russians.” “This self-inflicted Syria evacuation was not well thought out,” said Michael Knights, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “Linking the practical to the strategic has become harder and harder for this administration, because there is no thinking from the top that connects these decisions down at the working level.” It’s the latest example of Trump’s fromthe-gut approach to national security policy encountering roadblocks. Trump’s charm offensive with Kim Jong Un has failed to prod North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. His withdrawal from the Obama administration-brokered Iran nuclear agreement prompted Iran to breach limits on its enrichment and stockpiling of uranium. And the president’s decision to negotiate with the Taliban to set the groundwork for withdrawing U.S. forces from Afghanistan has failed to stem the violence there. As for Syria, Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made it clear in a phone call that his forces were about to invade to push back Syrian Kurdish fighters whom Turkey considers terrorists. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday he planned to talk to Iraqi leaders to work out details, adding that the U.S. has no plans to have the troops stay in Iraq

“interminably.” Esper is to speak with the Iraqi defense minister on Wednesday and said he would underscore that the aim is to pull U.S. soldiers out and “eventually get them home.” Hogan Gidley, the White House principal deputy press secretary, said Tuesday that Trump remains committed to bringing the troops back to the U.S. “That was his goal when he ran for office,” Gidley said. “That’s what he wants to do now. But he also wants to ensure stability in the region.” Trump initially announced his intention late last year to begin withdrawing troops from Syria, a decision that prompted the resignations of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Brett McGurk, special presidential envoy for the global coalition to defeat IS. At the time, there were about 2,000 American troops deployed to Syria. The U.S. pullout announced last week largely abandoned Syrian Kurdish allies who have fought the Islamic State group alongside U.S. troops for several years. Between 200 and 300 U.S. troops are to remain at the southern Syrian outpost of Al-Tanf. McGurk this week accused Trump of approaching the decision without taking a long view of the reality on the ground. “This is the problem of not having a national security process -- a process where, before a president says things, he would have some deliberation,” McGurk said Monday at an event hosted by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a think tank in Washington. As U.S. military convoys withdrawing from Syria for Iraq on Monday were pelted with potatoes and stones by angry Kurdish civilians, Trump played down U.S. responsibilities to the Kurds. “We never agreed to protect the Kurds for the rest of their lives,” Trump said. He added that the U.S. would keep the small contingency force in Syria to “protect the oil,” but there was otherwise no reason to remain. Trump added that “maybe we’ll have one of our big oil companies” go into Syria. McGurk said Trump’s suggestion that an American company would exploit the oil “raises very serious legal implications.” The former diplomat added that the pullout of all but a contingency force has negated the Trump administration’s influence in the area. “That influence has evaporated from the moment Trump said leave in December, to cutting the force in half and now by cutting the force by whatever it is,” McGurk said. “This is not deliberate policy, these are

spasms.” Iraq’s sensitivity over accepting more American troops on the ground is hardly surprising, said Knights, the Washington Institute analyst. Calls for an American troop withdrawal intensified in 2017 after the Iraqi government declared victory against IS. Trump himself has claimed credit for defeating “the so-called caliphate.” Earlier this year, however, Trump angered both Iraqi politicians and Iranianbacked factions by arguing he would keep U.S. troops in Iraq and use it as a base to strike Islamic State group targets inside

Syria as needed. In February, Trump sparked more outrage when he said U.S. troops should stay in Iraq to monitor neighboring Iran. The push by the Trump administration to put more U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq comes as Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi’s government braces for more protests in Baghdad and elsewhere over corruption, high unemployment and subpar public services. “The last thing that the Iraqi government needs right now is to turn attention to the presence of American troops,” Knights said.

Crime

Questions still linger in case of missing Mendota woman, part 1 By Jim Hagerty Reporter

MENDOTA, Ill. - It’s been 29 years since a 21-year-old grocery clerk left her shift and disappeared into the darkness of a fall Midwestern night. That’s seemingly what happened to Veronica Blumhorst in late September 1990 when she left her job at Dempsey’s Super Valu. Although it has been known for women to fall victims of the Ted Bundys of the world or meet other grisly fates depicted in horror movies, Veronica’s case doesn’t appear to have those makings at least not according to how events began to unfold the day her family discovered she disappeared. It was the morning of Sept. 20. Sixteenyear-old Todd Blumhorst was waiting for his sister to come downstairs to drive him to school because his car needed a brake job. But she never did. “Her car was in the garage, and I figured she was getting ready up in her room,” Todd said before he died from cancer in 2013. “When I realized she wasn’t home, I called Dad and said, ‘Veronica isn’t here.’ Dad told me to just take my car to school and he would look for Veronica.” Paul and Betty Blumhorst eventually realized that morning that their daughter parked her car in the garage but never came into the house after her shift at the store. Droves of Mendota residents also got

word and gathered outside their Monroe Street home willing to help. The crowd included local police officers, neighboring law enforcement and emergency teams. The crowd included a man Veronica was dating, who seemed to oddly insert himself into the situation from the onset. He also made chilling statements to the Mendota Police Department but was never taken into custody. Some of those statements were centered on his theory about what may have happened to his girlfriend and how he may have had something to do with it. He couldn’t be sure though, because he experienced memory loss after an injury suffered in a motorcycle accident. “Maybe I thought when she told me on the phone that night her sister was taking her to a doctor’s appointment that she was pregnant,” the boyfriend said. “And I drove down there, pulled up in (the) alley and she got into a van – no, a truck – and we argued. And maybe I was afraid of what our parents would say, and I did something. I don’t remember.” The man went on to say, “Maybe I was the person who picked her up, and I thought she was pregnant, and she thought she was pregnant, and I lost mind.” He also placed himself with Veronica the day she started her shift at Super Valu, making him one of the last people to see her alive.

On Sept. 19, he said, he drove his father’s van to Veronica’s house. He then used Veronica’s car to run errands. He later returned to car to the Blumhorst home. He said he was in his van at around 4:40 p.m., when he saw Veronica leaving for work, so he drove to Super Valu and waited for her to park. When Veronica pulled into the lot, he said he inched next to her vehicle and the two mouthed “I love you.” He then drove home to nearby Sublette, Illinois, and didn’t talk to Veronica until 9:30 p.m. She called him the work, he said, and they discussed having lunch after her Sept. 20 doctor’s appointment. He then watched a move and fell asleep at 1:30 a.m. Veronica’s boyfriend, an employee at a local newspaper, said he called Veronica’s house the next day to confirm their lunch date but was told by Paul Blumhorst that she was not home. He says he then started looking for her around town, checking in with people who may have seen her. Nobody had. He then called police and gave a series of bizarre statements. “(He) gave reasons why he might be involved in Veronica being missing, and he also gave ways he thinks it might have happened,” Mendota Police Investigator John Packenham said in a report. Those ways included a third-person theory like the one he laid out about his possible involvement. “Maybe someone she knew in a van – no,

a truck – drove up by her garage, and she got into the vehicle with them,” he said. “Maybe they got (to) fooling around, and maybe she said ‘no,’ and she was pushed or shoved and got hurt real bad. And then he dumped her somewhere where no one would find her. Also, it’s possible that when she got off work, she took her red smock and placed it over the passenger’s front seat, and someone may have taken it and put it around her head and did something.” Veronica’s work smock has never been found, neither has a video she rented from Super Valu before she punched out. In the days after police interviewed Veronica’s boyfriend, her family said his behavior raised some red flags. “He wouldn’t leave our house,” Paul said. “We didn’t think much of it at first, but then he would just lay on our couch in a fetal position. I think he went home to shower but other than that he was at our house all the time.” Then things got more peculiar, Paul said. “He was constantly asking how the investigation was going,” Blumhorst said. “Then he started answering our phone when it would ring. We thought that was very strange.” Anyone with information about the disappearance of Veronica Blumhorst is urged to contact the Mendota Police D e pa r t ment at 815-539-9331 a nd mendotapd@mendotapolice.com.

TUBE TALK

Perils of natural gas It’s beginning to BY ALLEN PENTICOFF COLUMNIST

As I continue to evangelize the purchase and use of electrically powered vehicles, there has been no let up in opposition to their deployment. The number one argument of the opposition is, “Electric cars are essentially coal powered.” There is some truth to that, but it really depends on where you live and what is the source of your electric utility’s energy. I’ll repeat what I’ve said before, that even with coal as the primary source of energy, electric vehicles are still much better for the environment than driving a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle. And, as it turns out, natural gas needs to be looked at in the same light as coal. This is because many coal powered plants have been converted to burning natural gas and many new electric generators are natural gas powered as well. This is due to our vast overdevelopment of natural gas resources driving down the cost of this fuel. Coal versus natural gas: Let’s begin with airborne pollutants - burning natural gas, the cleanest burning of all the fossil fuels - whether in a building or vehicle (and buildings are the biggest consumers of natural gas and thus the problems with natural gas use are directly linked to our building heating needs as well) releases only negligible amounts of sulfur, mercury and particulate matter into the atmosphere. Coal is well known for releasing a lot of sulfur and mercury into the air both very hazardous to our health and the environment. Natural gas emits roughly 50-60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2), a major contributor to climate change than coal. Burning natural gas, as burning anything does, causes nitrogen in the atmosphere to change into nitrogen oxide (NO2). NO2 is a source of smog. Natural gas does produce signiﬁcantly less NO2 than coal, and somewhat less than gasoline and diesel (true of CO2 release from vehicle use of natural gas as well). This sounds like a big win for natural gas over coal. But the devil is in the details. That detail is the Total Life Cycle Emission

(TLCE) of natural gas. All energy sources have a TLCE and one cannot honestly evaluate their impact on the environment without considering all that it takes to make the energy source usable. In the case of natural gas there is the hidden release of methane when the gas wells are drilled and during the gas extraction process. Basically, they leak a lot of methane. Methane is a very powerful greenhouse gas. It’s presence in the atmosphere is 34 times more powerful per ton than CO2 over a 100-year period and 86 times more potent in warming the planet than CO2 over a mear 20-year period. These so-called “fugitive emissions” for natural gas are estimated to range from 1 to 9 percent of the TLCE of natural gas. Comparing the TLCE of natural gas to coal and other fossil fuels, studies suggest that the TLCE of natural gas needs to be at 3.2 percent over a 20-year period to be cleaner in regards to CO2 emissions than a “new” coal burning powerplant. For natural gas to be cleaner than diesel fuel, the TLCE should be less than 1 percent and for gasoline it should be under 1.6 percent. The latter two make for an easier target and put natural gas generated electricity on par with gas and diesel for cleanliness in charging your electric vehicle (few of us get our electricity from these sources). However, there is considerable room for improvement, as anti-leaking technology exists - but there is not the regulatory structure in place to require gas companies to endure the expense of implementing it. This is a case where we may, as citizens, have to pay for something that private enterprise could may well a�ord to implement on its own to save the planet. The oil and gas lobby is quite powerful in congress and has had its way with government for a very long time. I think it would be worth it to agree to pay for it ourselves - as I don’t think there is su�cient political will to make the producers pay for it. In the next Mr. Green Car we’ll look at some of the other environmental impacts of our consumption of natural gas.

look a lot like…. Christmas? BY PAULA HENDRICKSON CONTRIBUTOR

I don’t even have any Halloween decorations up yet, and Hallmark, Lifetime, and UPtv are all preparing to roll out their two-month Christmas parades of programming. Hallmark is hands down the all-time cha mp of made-for-t v Ch r ist mas movies; between Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas,” Hallmark Mov ies & Mysteries’ “M iracles of Christmas,” events, Hallmark will premiere 40 new original Christmas movies this year. Although Hallmark began making holiday movies well over a decade ago, 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of the “Countdown to Christmas” event. Their older originals and 24 new productions will air 24-hours a day from now through the end of December. The fun continues on sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, which boasts 16 additional new Christmas movies this year. Not to be outdone, Lifetime – also a pioneer of heartwarming holiday movies – kicks o� “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” this week as well. They have wall-towall Christmas movies running through Christmas, including 30 new originals this year. UPtv might not be quite as familiar to some viewers as Hallmark and Lifetime, but the cable network known for airing uplifting programming has become a major player when it comes to Christmas movies. This year UPtv will premier 10 new holiday movies as part of its 60-day celebration (including a seven-season Gilmore Girls marathon hosted by Luke himself, Scott Peterson, which runs

Sunday, November 24 through Sunday, December 1). Even people who don’t enjoy TV Christmas movies might get a kick out of UPtv’s A Christmas Movie Christmas, which premieres this Sunday at 6 p.m. CT. The comedy – written by the husbandwife duo Brant (who plays Paul) and Kimberly Daugherty (who plays Lacy) – spoofs pretty much every trope from every holiday movie ever made. Mystical Santa, check. Cooking-baking grandma, check. Small town inn-keeper, check. There’s even a parody of classic Christmas movies within the movie. The self-awareness of Lacy and her sister Eve (Lana McKissack) is what makes A Christmas Movie Christmas work. Perhaps my favorite line is when Lacy addresses a little girl as, “token adorable child.” But like all good Christmas movies, by the end both of the main characters learn important life lessons. I know these types of movies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and it’s hard for most of us to get into the holiday spirit before Halloween. But there’s clearly a demand for feel-good Christmas stories. And much like Santa, Hallmark, Lifetime, and UPtv really know how to deliver.

Programming Note:

“Countdown to Christmas” begins Friday, October 25 on Hallmark Channel. “Miracles of Christmas” begins Friday, October 25, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” begins Friday, October 25, on Lifetime. “Christmas Movie Christmas” begins Sunday, October 27, on UPtv.

STOCK MARKET

US stock indexes close lower on mixed company earnings BY ALEX VEIGA

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A choppy day of trading on Wall Street ended Tuesday with stocks closing lower after a technology sector-led sell-o� strengthened toward the end of the day. That late-afternoon burst of selling erased modest gains for the market, which was coming o� two weeks of gains. The major indexes wavered for much of the day between small gains and losses as investors weighed a mixed batch of earnings reports from McDonald’s, Procter & Gamble and other big companies. Weak profits and sales pulled shares in McDonald’s lower. Travelers sank after the insurance company reported earnings that fell far short of analysts’ forecasts. Meanwhile, traders bid up shares in Procter & Gamble after the consumer products maker raised its profit forecast for the year following surprisingly good third quarter earnings. “We’re still waiting to see how earnings season shakes out,” said Karyn Cavanaugh, senior markets strategist at Voya Investment Management. “There have been some winners and some losers. There’s been a couple of misses.” The S&P 500 index fell 10.73 points, or 0.4%, to 2,995.99. The index spent most of the day at or above 3,000 and briefly climbed 0.3% before the late-afternoon slide. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 39.54 points, or 0.2%, to 26,788.10. The Nasdaq, which is heavily weighted with technology stocks, bore the brunt of the selling, losing 58.69 points, or 0.7%, to 8,104.30. Smaller company stocks fared better than the rest of the market. The Russell 2000 index added 0.73 points, or 0.1%, to 1,550.87. Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which is a bench-

mark for the interest rates banks charge for mortgages and other loans, fell to 1.77% from 1.79% late Monday. Investors have been shifting their focus to corporate earnings reports as they wait for developments in the trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. Optimism over the latest round of talks, which for now have at least prevented the costly conflict from escalating further, helped put investors in a buying mood in recent weeks. The benchmark S&P 500 has notched weekly gains the past two weeks. Analysts came into this latest earnings season expecting profits to decline overall for companies in the S&P 500. But with about 15% of companies in the index reporting so far, results have been surprisingly positive. Earnings growth fell slightly in the first and second quarters, according to data from FactSet, which was better than Wall Street’s expectation at the start of those reporting seasons. “The market really moves on earnings,” Cavanaugh said. “If we see a negative year-over-year earnings growth quarter, it’s going to give the market a little bit of pause.” While some of the company earnings on Tuesday were surprisingly good, a few large companies gave investors disappointing results that tipped the market into the red. Technology companies accounted for most of the selling. Microsoft dropped 1.5%. Payment processors Visa and Mastercard also fell, shedding 3.2% and 4.8%, respectively. Communications services stocks also helped pull the market lower. Netflix led the slide, dropping 4.1%. Facebook lost 3.9% following news that a state-level antitrust investigation into the social networking giant now has the backing of a bipartisan group of 47 attorneys general. McDonald’s slid 5% after reporting that its third-quarter profit and revenue fell short of Wall Street forecasts. It was one of the big decliners among companies that rely on consumer spending. Financial stocks also ended lower. Travelers sank 8.3% after the insurance company reported earnings that fell far short of analysts’ forecast. Companies with stronger quarterly results fared better. Biogen soared 26.1% after the biotechnology giant handily beat Wall Street’s third-quarter profit and revenue forecasts. It also said it will ask regulators to approve a treatment for Alzheimer’s. The company’s gains gave a strong shot to the broader health care sector. Procter & Gamble rose 2.6% on its solid quarterly report card.

This will be another busy week for investors. Boeing, Caterpillar and Microsoft all report their results on Wednesday. American Airlines, Twitter and Amazon will report on Thursday. Benchmark crude oil rose 90 cents to settle at $54.21 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international standard, gained 74 cents to close at $59.70 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline was unchanged at $1.61 per gallon. Heating oil was unchanged at $1.94 per gallon. Natural gas rose 3 cents to $2.27 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gold fell 70 cents to $1,481.70 per ounce,

silver fell 9 cents to $17.44 per ounce and copper fell 2 cents to $2.62 per pound. The dollar fell to 108.46 Japanese yen from 108.58 yen on Monday. The euro weakened to $1.1124 from $1.1146. Stocks in Europe ﬁnished higher after British lawmakers on Tuesday approved Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal in principle. However, they also rejected the government’s fast-track attempt to pass the bill within days. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he will “pause” the government’s planned Brexit legislation.

Where did Lake Le-Aqua-Na go? By Charles Herbst Contributor

After several years of deferred maintenance, major construction projects are under way at Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Park in Stephenson County and Rock Cut State Park in Winnebago County. Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Park is being completely renovated. The park is located about 15 miles northwest of Freeport, just north of the picturesque and charming village of Lena. The focal point of the 715-acre park is a 40-acre lake. At least it was until this past Labor Day, when the lake began to be drained. As explained by Brennan Caputo, Natural Resources Specialist for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the life of a lake is only so long, and Lake Le-Aqua-Na was past its prime. The Illinois DNR decided it was time to rehabilitate and give the lake new life. Many years ago, there was an informal plan to create a state park with a lake in every county in Illinois. The Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Park was the park built for Stephenson County, beginning in 1948. The original design was for a larger park with two lakes, similar to the present arrangement at the later-built

Rock Cut State Park. Lake Le-Aqua-Na was to be the upper lake, with a larger lake to be built east of the existing park. Given state budget constraints then and now, an eastern expansion is unlikely to ever be built. Lake Le-Aqua-Na was created in 1956 by building a dam on Waddam’s Creek. Waddam’s Creek flows into the Pecatonica River, which meets the Rock River at the Macktown Forest Preserve near Rockton. In its earlier years, Lake Le-AquaNa was popular, and known as a good fishing spot. Over the years though, the fishery has declined as lake has become filled with silt. Desirable species like largemouth bass, bluegill and walleye have been replaced by carp and bluegreen algae. Caputo explained that, for a lake of 40 acres, the lake has a very large upstream catchment basin of about 2000 acres. Former cattle farms upstream and the geology of the area have combined to send years of debris into Lake Le-Aqua-Na. The decision was made to drain and dredge the lake. This is a first for an Illinois state park, although the process has been done successfully in Iowa and many other places. Once the dredging

is complete, the spillway will be closed, allowing the lake to refill naturally. Finally, the lake will be restocked with fish.

Closing the park for 2020

Lake Le-Aqua-Na has a ring road that circles the lake and provides access to the park’s many facilities. This road is in poor condition and practically impassable in places. Realizing the need to rebuild the road, the DNR decided to coordinate road repairs with the dredging of the lake. Also, there are a number of hairpin turns in the road that will be softened, making it easier for vehicles with camping trailers. Several other new facilities will be constructed. A relocated, sanitary dump station will be separate from the main entrance to the camping area. A new, handicapped-accessible fishing pier will be built. To alleviate the silt problem, several small ponds will be constructed in the park, upstream from the lake. These ponds will have weirs that will trap silt and other material, reducing the amount of debris that will reach the lake. A weir is a small, notched dam often used to catch fish, but used in this case to trap sediments in the water. With the amount of construction going on in the park, the decision was made to close the park to visitors for the calendar year 2020. When the park reopens in 2021, the new facilities will be completed and ready for use. The rehabilitation began on Labor Day of this year, with the draining of the lake. Given the unusually wet weather we have been experiencing, the lake has since refilled itself twice naturally. As of this writing, the lake has again been drained to several feet of thick mud, with Waddam’s Creek running through what was once a lake. The dredging will take place during 2020 after the lakebed has dried. No bodies or skeletons were found on the lake bottom, nor was any gold bullion (yet). Apart from the usual amount of litter, detritus, and other expected objects, among the more interesting finds were old, man-made fish habitats, constructed of wood. Modern structures typically use concrete or other materials. These will remain in the lake after the rehabilitation is complete.

Bridge out at Rock Cut

During 2019, a major road project has been underway at Rock Cut State Park. Rock Cut is a popular, 3,092-acre park with two large lakes. Similar to Lake LeAquaNa, a ring road circles the 156-acre Pierce Lake, and provides a scenic loop for motorists, bicycles and pedestrians. The park straddles Interstate 90, with the 56-acre Olson Lake and a swimming beach in the

eastern portion. A bridge over the highway connects the two sections of the park. While the lakes at Rock Cut are in much better shape than at Lake Le-Aqua-Na, Rock Cut’s roadways are narrow and heavily traveled by both cars and pedestrians. A bridge on the loop road at the Pierce Lake spillway was obsolete and is being replaced. The current project is to widen about half of the loop road from the campground, along the western perimeter of the lake, past the concessions area, to a road connecting to the park office. Trees and other vegetation have been pruned back, but the drive still offers a pleasant, scenic experience. By widening the road from 22 to 36 feet, a bike lane will be established on either side of the road. From the bridge to the concession stand, the bike path will diverge from the road and pass through the woods along the shore of Pierce Lake. A curb will separate the bike path from the roadway across the bridge. These safet y improvements also include better segregation of the parking areas in the West Lake Picnic Area. With a curving road, this area was a free-for-all between cars parking in the picnic area, through traffic, pedestrians and bicycles. The new design will eliminate some of these conflicts. Hart Road, an old township road in the western part of the park that provides access to the horse camp is being modernized and resurfaced. Hart Road between the horse camp and the main park loop road will be gated and reserved for authorized vehicles only. This will limit the Perryville Road entrance to traffic bound for the horse camp, rather than for use by general park traffic. The Rock Cut project is expected to be completed by the end of this year, and will make visits to the park in 2020 and beyond safer and presumably more enjoyable. The remaining park roads will be upgraded at a later date. Although Rock Cut is being used by a number of visitors during construction, with the disruptions, we suggest that alternate leaf-peeping excursions might be more enjoyable this year. In the vicinity, we suggest Blackhawk Springs Forest Preserve, overlooking the Kishwaukee River at the junction of Mulford and Blackhawk Roads, south of Rockford. The area has diverse foliage and is an enjoyable ride for leaf peepers. There is also a 2.9-mile, paved bike trail along the river. The Kishwaukee River Forest Preserve has over 200 acres and Blackhawk Springs Forest Preserve has 630 acres of attractive forest lands. Like the state parks, admission to these Winnebago County parks is free. These parks are also connected to several other forest preserves in the area.

Starting a backyard orchard BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Fall is a very good time to start making decisions on growing fruit trees in the backyard. Because many apples and pears are harvested during this time, you have the ability to taste di�erent varieties to determine which ones you may want to grow. As a reminder, apples and pears grow well in Northern Illinois, and there are a large number of di�erent varieties and rootstocks available to you. Peaches, plums, and tart cherries may also grow well depending on the season. These are fruits that can be e�ected quite strongly by very cold winters and late frosts. Plant one of these trees and hope for a good yield every couple of years. After you have decided on variety, you need to think about the actual height of your tree. Dwarf, semi-dwarf, and standard are the main types of fruit trees available. A dwarf tree will reach 8-10 feet followed by semi-dwarf with 10-15 feet, and ﬁnally a standard with 18-25 feet in height. If you are unsure of if you have enough space for many fruit trees, a good rule of thumb is that you should space a fruit tree based

on it’s height. If it will reached 10-15 ft, space all the trees 10-1ft apart. Much of the height is due to a rootstock. A rootstock has a di�erent genetic material below ground than what’s above ground. The rootstock allows for the tree to reach a certain height, be resistant to diseases, and able to withstand our cold winters in Northern Illinois. Recommended rootstocks are M9 and M26. Both have a dwarf characteristic while M7 is a semi-dwarf tree. Fruit tree will be either whips/bare roots or feathered. A feathered tree will be one that already has some side growth to it and gives you the opportunity to get closer to harvest. A whip looks like you’ve purchased a stick without any limbs attached to it. Either one can work fine for the backyard and you may find that you cannot find the feathered variety that you want. Both will need to be pruned on day 1 of planting. Next week I’ll discuss more about getting the backyard orchard set up. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension. His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

Climate change, carbon emissions, agriculture and natural areas BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

According to climate experts, to avoid the worst of climate change, carbon emissions must fall by 45% from 2010 global levels by 2030. Yet nearly 200 new natural gas plants are in various stages of development within the United States and could be in service over the next few years. The Rocky Mountain Institute points out that renewable energy systems with energy storage are poised to undercut natural gas prices and could make up to 70% of those investments uneconomic by 2035. A more economical and carbon reduction friendly approach appears in a brief article by Tim Sylvia. He reports that Fitch Solutions Marco Research projects the Midwest could provide 80 Gigawatts of solar power capacity over the next decade based on what is already registered with the MISO and SPP grid operators serving the region. Historically only 30% of the projected capacity gets built but still roughly 6.6 GW of solar capacity is likely to be completed through 2023. The optimistic projections are based on carbon reduction and renewable energy goals set by communities such as Chicago and Madison and similar goals set by states and utilities such as Illinois and Excel in Minnesota. Of course appropriate funds need to be provided to meet such lofty goals. The projections are only based on government and utility goals and do not include the actions of private sources such as corporations including Walmart, Target and other large ﬁrms. The projections do not include potential contributions from community solar projects in Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. In Illinois during the last funding period only 100 of the 900 community solar projects were funded due to limited state funds. E�orts are underway to expand funding in the state. While the push for renewable energy, energy storage and electriﬁed transporta-

tion remains strong, there are other issues being raised about the renewable energy transition. Given the massive number of solar panels needed to provide gigawatts of power, more concern is being directed at the need to have su�cient capacity in place to recycle all the remaining materials at the ends of their useful lives. Another concern attracting more attention is that of the impacts of clean energy developments on high value natural areas and agricultural lands. Carolyn Fortune reminds us that converting agricultural lands to solar farms can alter valued landscapes and take fertile soils out of production which are essential to feeding rising global populations. Some firms are justifying solar farm installations on high quality agricultural land by demonstrating various crops and animals that can coexist with a solar farm. The installations also help diversify farm income. When solar farms are built on abandoned industrial sites or landfills, both revenue needs and clean energy goals can be met. But when valued rural settings and forested areas are targeted for solar farms resistance to them has emerged. The solar farms being developed are large scale, utility sized developments. While utility sized solar farms cost less John Farrell points out that if grid upgrades are needed to bring the power to the market the installations could be less economically favorable. Chris Rauscher of Sunrun reminds us that the cost and performance of distributed energy resources have improved faster than anticipated and continued cost reductions are increasing the appeal of residential systems. The dramatic growth in solar installations remains strong and consists of diverse markets. As the industry matures a more refined approach to the siting of solar systems is likely to emerge.

ROCKFORD – The Rockford IceHogs grabbed two points in the Central Division standings last week by sweeping the Chicago Wolves in a home-and-home set. Tyler Sikura emerged the hero in Satuday’s contest by finding the back of the Chicago net with 11.1 seconds remaining in overtime. The play came when defenseman Joni Tuulola grabbed a loose puck and hit Sikura who fired a shot past Wolves goaltender Garret Sparks for Rockford’s second win in a row, a welcomed little run after going 0-3 to start the season. “The big thing for us is that we’ve got a little momentum now,” coach Derek King said. “We’re feeling good and I think we’re starting to play as a team. We’ve just got to continue it.” Sikura scored his first of the game 12:22 into the first period. Philip Holm registered Rockford’s second tally. Matt Tomkins made 31 saves for the IceHogs. In Friday’s action at the BMO Harris Bank Center, John Quenneville, Dylan Sikura and Anton Wedin scored first-period goals to help Rockford hold off Chicago 3-2. After being outshot 17-4 in the first period, Chicago came out strong in the second and made it 3-1 five minutes into the action. Collin Delia stood solid in the Rockford net though, stopping 15 shots before the end of the stanza. Delia continued to shine in the third, closing the door down the stretch after a Gage Quinney goal put the Wolves within one. The California native finished the night with 29 saves in his 31st win of his AHL career. Delia now ranks tied for fourth all-time in victories among IceHogs netminders during AHL affiliation. “Any time you win, it’s a good feeling in the locker room,” Delia said. “Personally, I

The Hogs have now split the first four games against Central Division opponents and enter the week with a win in both their most recent home and road contest. Rockford has scored the first goal of the game in each of its first five games of the 2019-20 season. The ‘Hogs enter the week ranked as the lone team in the AHL to have scored first in each game thus far on the campaign. In addition, Rockford’s five total games scoring first is tied for most in the AHL (Charlotte and Toronto). Rockford combined to outshoot the Wolves 72-64 Friday and Saturday. Tyler Sikura notched the IceHogs’ first multi-point effort of the 2019-20 season with a pair of goals against the Wolves Saturday. His first two-goal game marked just his second multi-goal effort of his AHL career and first since scoring twice on April 7, 2018 at Texas. Dylan Sikura logged his second two-game point streak of the young season with a goal Friday and assist Saturday. The younger Sikura has found the scoresheet in four of five games this season and 14 of his last 19 AHL contests dating to last season. He also fired a team season-high eight shots on goal Saturday. Dylan and Tyler Sikura rank first and tied for second, respectively, among team skaters in scoring entering the week. The duo has combined for seven points in five games as of Monday. Rockford visits Cleveland this weekend for a two-game set before returning to the BMO Wednesday, Oct. 30, against the San Antonio Rampage.

On the rocks: Trubisky’s failure a cruel reality for Bears By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

When the Bears traded up to draft Mitchell Trubisky at No. 2 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, they made a definitive statement about their future. In eliminating any uncertainty regarding the mere idea of letting Trubisky slip through their grasp, the Bears told onlookers they believed they finally had The Man under center. Their future, one of promise and glory, was secure. One way or another, Trubisky was going to take the Bears to the promised land. He was going to drive them to a place of consistency they haven’t enjoyed since Axel Foley was hunting down drug smuggler Victor Maitland to uplifting, synchronized 1980s tunes. The only other option on the table was catastrophe in the face of what the then 22-year-old could fail to become. Failure was not a consideration that ever entered the Bears’ minds. “Once you have conviction on a guy, you have to do it,” said Ryan Pace in an illuminating post-draft press conference. “You have to be aggressive and do it.” You don’t trade up for unproven players without passionately believing in their potential. They have the “it” factor. No questions asked. If there are questions to be asked, they gleam with reverence. They are an accurate portrayal of fantasy. A soon-to-be realized placid dream of wonder where you travel to your happy place and realize the best version of yourself. How long will it take them to realize their ability? What holds them back from playing up to their maximum talent, and when, not can, it be polished? Do they want their full birth name engraved on their multiple Super Bowl rings? What are the dimensions of the head and shoulders for a typical Hall of Fame bust? The Bears’ worst-case scenario has become their harsh reality. They have neither the answers nor the tools to be blessed with such clairvoyant insight. The quarterback they gambled on, Trubisky, has veered off the rails. He’s regressed past the point of meaningful salvation. His listless performances filed in after another have sent Chicago into dire straits. Now, thanks to his glaring faults, Halas Hall is in danger of being sent into a collective tailspin. Three years in, the jury is out on Trubisky: he’s not The Man. The Bears came off a needed bye week ostensibly re-energized and refocused. A pummeling at the hands of the Raiders in London not withstanding, this was a team that had its preseason goals still firmly

in mind. The contending Saints would be without the great Drew Brees and the explosive Alvin Kamara, and everything would be hunky dory. If this was a slam dunk, it was an alley-oop where you had enough time and space to both throw the ball up off the backboard to yourself and follow through with a tomahawk jam. Their quarterback in Trubisky, the man most responsible for whether they’d meet or exceed expectations, hadn’t played in three weeks. He was going to figure it out after an extended absence. He had to. He was the X-Factor. The ace in the hole the Bears thought they had in their possession. As it turns out, they instead have a 2 and 7 off-suit; the least flexible position you can find yourself in poker, or in football. Through three quarters of play on Sunday, the Bears had less than 100 yards of offense. In as must-win of a game as physiologically conceivable in mid-October, the Trubisky-led Bears laid a rotten egg. A 36-25 eventual blowout at the hands of the Saints told the tale of a team already grasping at straws. Utter ineptitude on the most rote of play execution and reads. No discernible rhythm or harmony to speak of. And a quarterback essentially begging to be run over and put out of his misery by the car with its brights on. Normally it would be foolish to insinuate any season is over with 10 games remaining on the schedule. But the Saints took that noble idea for the Bears and shredded it without mercy. Small bits of orange and blue paper remain scattered over the floor. Oh, of course the shredder is jammed at the intake of obliviousness and confusion. Sunday wasn’t a “bad game, forget it and move on” situation. This was who the Bears really are: outclassed, over-matched, and at their wit’s end when facing any modicum of a challenge. If Cody Parkey’s agonizing double-doink left a poor aftertaste on the best Bears season in a decade, by comparison this was a dish never worth stomaching It starts and ends with Trubisky. He’s a quarterback incapable of conducting a composed offense for a quarter, let alone the requisite 60 minutes. When the quarterback struggles, the receivers, save for Allen Robinson, make no plays. When the skill position players aren’t making plays, the offense doesn’t stay on the field. When the offense doesn’t stay on the field, the elite defense is forced to pick up the slack. Eventually the extra weight they carry breaks their backs. A debilitating sciatica of nerves and stress sets in, and the Bears must come to terms with their

new limitations. They can never run five miles a day again. Their back won’t hold up. It needs rest. Nagy insists he has the answers as to what plagues Trubisky from even reaching a moderate level of competence. Something has to be easily correctable. Something has to give. A quarterback cannot regress this much, this fast when everything’s in their favor. “I thought his footwork was just okay,” said Nagy on Monday, venting truthfully on Monday morning. If it was as basic as footwork, Trubisky would already be fixed. Confidence is a different story. If a quarterback doesn’t believe in himself, establishing a quick passing game or ground attack would be ideal. Give him a boost if he needs it. Seven rushing attempts, an all-time franchise low for the Bears is not the answer in this equation. The league’s fifth-worst rushing offense hasn’t helped. “I know we need to run the ball more,” Nagy elaborated. “I’m not an idiot.” Even if the Bears were successful at rushing the ball, it would be akin to putting a lipstick on a pig. You can’t hide bad quarterbacks. They either rise to the occasion or wilt at first blush. The Bears have tried hiding bad quarterbacks for decades and it’s never panned out. Admitting a miss on a player as highly touted as a top-two selection takes courage. It asserts that most previous evaluations and scouting efforts missed a hidden element somewhere. Confidence in what can be done to improve is inherently shaken. The more exasperated Nagy

and the Bears sound by the week, they may soon have no other choice but to wave the white flag. No, Trubisky won’t be benched this season. Barring a cataclysmic turn of events where he somehow lowers the bar of being the NFL’s worst starting quarterback, he’ll finish out 2019; his head held low and aimed at the next sidewalk crack in pensive thought. But if the Bears are to find any promise under Nagy and Pace – the two men inexorably tied to Trubisky’s laurels, or lack thereof – the groundwork for the next passer in line must be laid down with haste. They have to confess they had it wrong with Trubisky or risk losing a locker room and roster that was otherwise prepared to win. There won’t be any basking in confetti as long as Trubisky is taking shotgun snaps. The Bears’ two figureheads are the only people capable of shifting the dynamic back toward a more constructive perspective. Like a 35-year-old bachelor still living with his parents, Trubisky has yet to launch and move out. Speculation over his rationality in the comfort of such a decision, be it fear or a general lack of moxie, are irrelevant. The Bears’ two-and-half-year-old statement that he would eventually leave the nest didn’t come to fruition. Their belief in him getting his quarterbacking life together was misplaced. If there’s a degree of candor in the hearts of the people in charge of “fixing” him, they’ll realize he never planned on leaving in the first place. Robert is a writer, editor, and producer.
