Crime

The Veronica Blumhorst Case, Part 4: ‘Murder’ and old beaus Editor’s note: The following is the fourth installment in a series about the disappearance of 21-yearold Veronica Blumhorst, who vanished Sept. 20, 1990, after finishing her shift at a Mendota, Illinois, grocery store. Her car was found in her garage less than a mile from the store. It is believed she had only $10 on her when she vanished.

By Jim Hagerty Reporter

MENDOTA - While the likelihood that a person has met with foul play increases the longer he or she has been missing, it’s not necessarily the rule. In the case of Veronica Blumhorst, there’s never been any evidence of foul play. Her car was parked in her garage, and police found no signs of a struggle. That left investigators to list the 21-year-old clerk as a missing person until something showed them otherwise. Even indirectly incriminating statements made by her boyfriend failed to produce anything to connect him to a crime scene. By his own admission, her last known suitor was one of the last people to see her. They were together before she started her shift at Dempsey’s Super Valu and spoke on the phone before she punched out. What he couldn’t remember was whether he was with her in the early hours of Sept. 20, 1990, they had an argument and he “hurt her.” That, he said just three days after his girlfriend vanished, slipped his mind, likely because of an old head injury that messes with his memory. It was a motorcycle crash his freshman year of high school, he told police. As a result, he used “memory tapes” to help him remember things. Although he was described as an “odd loner,” witnesses, including Veronica’s parents, told police her boyfriend’s behavior changed after she went missing. At least two people reported he was intensely interested in the investigation, so much so that he camped out on the Blumhorst couch and was answering the

family’s telephone, something that left Paul Blumhorst uneasy. Things got even more intense when Veronica’s boyfriend followed a female colleague home and forced a conversation about his suspected involvement in her disappearance. Throughout what the co-worker described as a cross examination, the man, for the first time, used a word that nobody else, not even the police, had uttered to anyone: murder. “He adamantly defended why he wouldn’t be involved, which a lot of us though was extremely ironic,” the witness said, “because before anyone was even aware of the fact he would have been considered (a suspect), he started defending himself. He kept stating his primary defense when he would say, ‘I don’t know why anyone would think I would have anything to do with her disappearance or murder,’ which we thought was odd. Nobody was talking about a murder at the time. It was a disappearance. He would say, ‘I loved her and we were meant to be together forever and ever.’ We thought (that) was kind of creepy because they hadn’t been dating that long.” Veronica’s parents told police she had been dating the man for approximately six months. It was a serious relationship, Paul Blumhorst said. There was no engagement but the couple had discussed marriage. Veronica’s co-workers at Super Valu, however, recalled something different about the romance. “(The co-worker) stated that she did not think Veronica wanted to get married,” Mendota Police Investigator Joh n Pa ken ham sa id i n a repor t. “She never talked about (her current boyfriend). She thought Veronica was still wanting to date and go out with a (man from Brooklyn, Illinois). He had broken up with Veronica. Veronica always talked about (the man from Brooklyn) when she was dating him. She never talked about (her current boyfriend).”

While Veronica was reserved about her boyfriend at work, she told the woman he followed home she was afraid of him. The same woman also heard details from him she did anything by solicit. “I remember one specific incident where really kind of turned my stomach,” she said. “He said, ‘We had an interesting night last night. We took a bath together and we got very clean.’ He just talked about it for like an hour. After awhile, I tuned him out and said, ‘I don’t want to hear about this. I told him, ‘I don’t want to hear about your sex life.’”

‘If he couldn’t have her, nobody could.’

Aside from oscalating between theories of how he may have played a role in the disappearance of Veronica Blumhorst, her boyfriend presented another scenario that is all too common in jilted trysts. The had two suspcions, one involving an ex-lover who decided he wanted her back, his newspaper colleague said. “’If he couldn’t have her, nobody could,’” she said. “That was his theory.” He also postulated that Veronica, who was adopted, reached out to her birth parents and possibly met her end. “He thought that it was somehow connected that maybe she found her real parents and they were bad people,” she added. Those where his two main theories.” Police spoke to least three of Veronica’s former beaus. Each man cooperated with investigators and had alibis that checked out. One of her exes spoke to Veronica a month before she disappeared and did not notice a change in her demeanor. Two men passed polygraphs.

Split Supreme Court appears ready to allow Trump to end DACA BY MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) – Sharply at odds with liberal justices, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority seemed ready Tuesday to allow the Trump administration to abolish protections that permit 660,000 immigrants to work in the U.S., free from the threat of deportation. That outcome would “destroy lives,” declared Justice Sonia Sotomayor, one the court’s liberals who repeatedly suggested the administration has not adequately justiﬁed its decision to end the sevenyear-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Nor has it taken su�cient account of the personal, economic and social disruption that might result, they said. But there did not appear to be any support among the ﬁve conservatives for blocking the administration. The nine-member court’s decision is expected by June, at the height of the 2020 presidential campaign. President Donald Trump said on Twitter that DACA recipients shouldn’t despair if the justices side with him, pledging that “a deal will be made with the Dems for them to stay!” But Trump’s past promises to work with Democrats on a legislative solution for these immigrants have led nowhere. The president also said in his tweet that many program participants, brought to the U.S. as children and now here illegally, are “far from ‘angels,’” and he falsely claimed that “some are very tough, hardened criminals.” The program bars anyone with a felony conviction from participating, and serious misdemeanors may also bar eligibility. Some DACA recipients, commonly known as “Dreamers,” were in the courtroom for the arguments, and many people camped out in front of the court for days for a chance at some of the few seats available. The term comes from never-passed proposals in Congress called the DREAM Act. The high court arguments did not involve any discussion of individual DACA recipients or Trump’s claims. Instead the focus was on whether either of two administration rationales for ending DACA, begun under President Barack Obama, was enough. Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric was a key part of his presidential campaign in 2016, and his administration has pointed to a court ruling striking down the expansion of DACA and creation of similar protections, known as DAPA, for undocumented immigrants whose children are U.S. citizens as reasons to bring the program to a halt. After lower courts stepped in to keep the program alive, the administration produced a new explanation memo from

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh were among the justices who indicated on Tuesday that the administration has provided su�cient reason for doing away with the program. Kavanaugh referred to Nielsen’s memo at one point as “a very considered decision.” Roberts suggested that worries that DACA is not legal might be enough to support ending it. Roberts, who could hold the pivotal vote on the court, aimed his few questions at lawyers representing DACA recipients and their supporters. He did not seriously question the administration’s argument. However, justices’ questions don’t always foretell their votes. In June the chief justice surprised many when he cast the deciding vote to prevent the administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite not voicing much skepticism during arguments in the case. Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito raised questions on Tuesday about whether courts should even be reviewing the executive branch’s discretionary decisions. Sotomayor made the only direct reference to Trump, saying he told DACA recipients “that they were safe under him and that he would ﬁnd a way to keep them here. And so he hasn’t.” She also complained that the administration’s rationale has shifted over time and has mainly relied on the view that DACA is illegal, leaving no choice but to end it. In her most barbed comment, Sotomayor said the administration has failed to plainly

say “that this is not about the law. This is about our choice to destroy lives.” Solicitor General Noel Francisco, representing the administration, did not directly respond to Sotomayor. But near the end of the 80-minute arguments, he asserted that the administration has taken responsibility for its decision and is relying on more than merely its belief that DACA is illegal. The administration has the authority to end DACA, even if it’s legal, because it’s bad policy, he said. “We own this,” Francisco said. If the court agrees with the administration in the DACA case, Congress could follow up by voting to put the program on surer legal footing. But the absence of comprehensive immigration reform by Congress is what prompted Obama to create DACA in the ﬁrst place, in 2012, giving people two-year renewable reprieves from the threat of deportation while also allowing them to work. Young immigrants, civil rights groups, universities and Democratic-led cities and states sued to block the administration. They persuaded courts in New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., that the administration had been “arbitrary and capricious” in its actions, in violation of a federal law that requires policy changes to be done in an orderly way. If the justices sustain the challenges, the administration could try again to end the program. A lawsuit in Texas claiming that DACA is illegal also would be likely to go forward.

Impeachment Hearings

Battle-tested attorneys to face off in impeachment inquiry By Aamer Madhani Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) – The public impeachment inquiry hearings set to begin Wednesday will pit a Democratic attorney who built his reputation as a federal mob and securities fraud prosecutor against a GOP House Oversight investigator who helped steer some of the most notable probes of the Obama administration. The two attorneys with shiny resumes are hardly household names. Now, Daniel Goldman and Steve Castor will find themselves front and center at the televised hearings that mark a critical new phase in the probe into whether President Donald Trump abused the power of his presidency by pressing Ukraine’s leader to investigate a Trump political rival. Goldman, the investigations chief for Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Castor, the GOP chief investigative counsel, asked the bulk of the questions of witnesses during weeks of closed-door depositions with current and former administration officials and diplomats. Goldman spent about a decade as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. He stepped away from his gig as an MSNBC pundit and fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice to jump into the trenches of Capitol Hill in the midst of the fourth impeachment inquiry of a president in U.S. history. “You’re going to see a prosecutorial approach,” said Elie Honig, a former federal prosecutor who worked with Goldman to successfully prosecute a Genovese family boss and two mob hit men for racketeering, two murders and an attempted murder. “You will see somebody who knows every detail of every piece of evidence and will bring it to bear in his questioning. You’ll see someone who knows how to get right to the point.” Goldman, who was a fierce Trump critic as a cable news legal analyst, certainly has a bigger public profile than Castor, who has served as a senior aide to the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for more than a decade. But both attorneys were regarded as smart interrogators who could be expected to avoid grandstanding and keep the focus on the essential elements of the impeachment inquiry, according to former colleagues. Goldman also was part of the team t hat prosecuted Las Vegas spor ts bettor William “Billy” Walters, who

was convicted on fraud and conspiracy charges in 2017 for his role in a $43 million insider-trading scheme. He followed the footsteps of his late father, Richard Goldman, who was a federal prosecutor in Washington. The younger Goldman took a brief detour into journalism before devoting himself to the law. He contributed to NBC Sports’ Emmy-winning coverage in the 2002 and 2004 Olympics before attending Stanford Law School. One of Goldman’s first cases after becoming a federal prosecutor in 2007 was as part of a yearlong joint operation between New York City and federal law enforcement. Lauren Ouziel, a former federal prosecutor who worked with Goldman on that case, said he quickly established a reputation as “hardworking and extremely sharp.” “Danny, in his first year at the Office, was assigned to the case and immediately was able to handle whatever was thrown at him – and a lot was,” Ouziel, a professor at Temple University’s law school, wrote in an email. Castor, a graduate of George Washington University’s law school, started his career as a commercial litigator in Philadelphia. He has served under seven committee chairmen, including four Republicans, since joining the oversight staff in 2005. He was deeply involved in investigations of the Obama Justice Department’s ill-fated gun traffick ing initiative Operation Fast and Furious, the attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and a probe during the first term of the Obama administration into whether the Internal Revenue Service was applying special scrutiny to certain political groups that were applying for nonprofit organization status. “He has the institutional knowledge, experience and prowess to be the guy in the hot seat,” said former Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican who chaired the oversight committee from 2015 to 2017 and worked closely with Castor. “Most of the public hasn’t seen him but for a photo of him in the background whispering to the chairman or a ranking member. But behind the scenes, he’s been doing these types of inquiries for years.” Kurt Bardella, a former spokesman for the Oversight Committee, described Castor as “one of the most talented people” he ever worked with on Capitol Hill. “He i s t h o r o u g h, d i l i g e nt a n d prepared,” said Bardella, who left the Republican Party and became a Democrat. “Internally, we would joke that he had

kind of Elliot Ness style about him or the guy from Dragnet. He was just the facts. This isn’t a guy that seeks out the limelight, not a grandstander.” Lawmakers are expected to ask some questions of the witnesses. But much of the questioning will be left to Goldman and Castor. Each side will get at least 45 minutes to examine and cross-examine witnesses. During the closed-door depositions, Goldman was assisted by another prosecutor from the Southern District of New York, Dan Noble. Noble, who may also assist in the public hearings, teamed up with Goldman to convict reputed Russian mobster Mikhail Zemlyansky in 2015 of racketeering, insurance fraud and securities fraud. Zemlyansky was at the center of a Russian-American criminal ring that ran an auto insurance scheme that netted more than $100 million, according to prosecutors. Transcripts of the closed-door testi-

mony provide at least a hint of what viewers may see as the impeachment inquiry shifts into public view. Castor rankled Democrats when he questioned witnesses about the identity of the whistleblower. The transcripts show Goldman asking questions in a lawyerly and focused style but also revealing occasional glimpses of empathy. At one point during the closed-door questioning of Marie Yovanovitch — who was ousted from her ambassadorship in Ukraine after Trump lost confidence in her – Goldman offered the diplomat time to collect herself as she recounted conversations surrounding her abrupt recall from her post. When the interview resumed, Goldman sought to turn the attention back to Yovanovitch as a sympathetic witness. “Ambassador Yovanovitch, we understand this is a difficult and emotional topic, and we thank you for your honest recollection and answers,” he said.

Voices From the Grave

The untold story of Ralph Middleton Kathi Kresol Contributor

Anyone reading Ralph Middleton’s obituary printed in the Register Star on July 30, 1998 would have been impressed by his life. The article mentioned his 62 years of employment at Ingersoll and that he served in the National Guard. Ralph was also voted Rockford’s Father of the Year in 1950. By all accounts, Ralph led a successful life filled with many accomplishments. But it is what wasn’t written in his obituary that makes Ralph Middleton truly astonishing. Ralph suffered a personal tragedy that would have crippled most people. The fact that he went through this dark period and continued his success is nothing less than inspirational. In the mid 1950s Ralph lived on the west side of Rockford with his wife Dorothy. Ralph worked as a field supervisor at Ingersoll Milling Machine. Dorothy, who had been a dedicated teacher to children with cognitive and mobility issues, stayed at home to care for their three children. The oldest, Richard was enrolled in Harvard University working on a degree in Biology. Thomas who was 18 in 1956, recently graduated from West High School. Their only daughter, Judith was 12 years old and enrolled at Roosevelt Junior High School. Neighbors would later speak of the close bond that was evident between the family members. Ralph’s life wasn’t perfect, of course. There were some bumps in the marriage, typical things that young couples face. But as the years passed, different troubles appeared. Dorothy would sometimes be overcome with depression. She became confused in her thoughts and on really bad days would speak of harming herself. Luckily, Dorothy’s parents and siblings were close and helped with the the children. Eventually, Ralph had no choice but to admit Dorothy into a mental health facility for a few weeks. Dorothy suffered another spell several years later. Ralph must have felt helpless as he watched his wife fall into utter despair. When he returned home from work one day to find Dorothy with her head submerged in the bathtub, he once again committed her. These incidences had taken place years before and the summer of 1956 promised wonderful things. Richard was a junior at Harvard and made high marks in all of his classes. Thomas had taken a competitive examination for the Air Force Academy and was accepted. Judith showed all the signs of being as brilliant as her brothers. But by the beginning of September

there were clouds forming on the horizon that threatened the Middleton family. Thomas had decided to take leave from the academy to think about his future. Ralph and Dorothy wanted Thomas to return to the academy but he held firm and made the decision to enroll in the University of Wisconsin at Madison instead. He was interested in becoming a dentist and Madison had an excellent program. Ralph was obviously disappointed but wanted to show his support for his son. Dorothy on the other hand, began to think that there was something lacking in Thomas. Ralph pointed out all of Thomas’ successes during high school. Thomas was a star athlete, made the honor roll consistently, was inducted to the National Honor Society, and had passed the very tough exam required to be accepted into the Air Force Academy. Dorothy spoke with Ralph and her sisters about the negative effect she was having on her children. They were quick to deny that claim and tried to reassure her that was not the case. Dorothy’s sisters grew very concerned. They pleaded with Ralph to return Dorothy to the mental facility that had helped in the past. They offered to take Judith until Dorothy recovered. But Ralph was certain that his wife would eventually support Thomas’ decision. Ralph woke up on Saturday, October 13, 1956 feeling hopeful that Dorothy would change her mind. Dorothy seemed in good spirits that morning and got up early to make Ralph breakfast before he left for work. They drank coffee and discussed the plans for the day. Ralph mentioned that he was only working a half day and should be home by noon. Dorothy seemed happy as she kissed him goodbye. Ralph would later state that he had no warning of what was to come. Ralph arrived home after noon to find a note addressed to him on the kitchen table. His hands were shaking as he tore open the letter. The letter started with the words, “I just couldn’t take it anymore.” Ralph dropped the letter and raced to the master bedroom. He was stunned to see the rifle that he used for target practice placed on the bed. The gun had obviously been fired. Ralph raced to Thomas’s room where it took a moment to understand what lay before him. There was blood on the pillow and a hole in Thomas’ temple. Terrifed now, Ralph raced into Judith’s room. There was more blood and Ralph realized that Judith had also been shot. Ralph slowly returned to the kitchen. He picked up the phone and dialed the number for the police.

Detectives arrived quickly along with the Coroner Sundberg and States Attorney Canfield. When they questioned Ralph about Dorothy’s location, he stated that he did not know. They decided to check the house and went to the basement with Ralph following behind. They found Dorothy on the floor in the basement. She was curled into a fetal position and gasping for air. They later found evidence that Dorothy had ingested a solution of lye and carbolic acid after shooting the children. Dorothy was rushed to the hosptial as Ralph tried to answer the detectives many questions. Though Dororthy had extensive burns to her mouth, trachea and esophagus, she survived. She was placed under arrest for the murder of Thomas and Judith as soon as she regained consciousness. Richard came home to assist his father in securing counsel for his mother. The defense attorney believed that they could get a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict. The state was just as sure they could prove murder. The trial turned into a battle of the psychiatrists as the state worked to prove that Dorothy knew what she was doing was wrong because she waited until Ralph left for work before killing the children. While Ralph and Richard dealt with Dorothy’s medical care and arrest, they also had to plan a funeral for Thomas and Judith. The children were laid to rest at WIllwood Burial Park on West State Street. The service was held at St. John’s Evangelical Church. Besides friends and family, the church was filled to capacity with many who were unknown to the family. These strangers came to show support for the family that had suffered so much. The state decided to try Dorothy for the murder of Judith first. Dorothy, still weakened by the damage inflicted in her suicide attempt, attended the trial in a wheel chair. The jury deliberated for 2 hours and 25 minutes before returning with a guilty plea. The courtroom exploded with emotion as family members broke into tears. Dorothy became distraught and Ralph reached to comfort her. His stoic demeanor cracked a little as reporters rushed to snap photographs of Dorothy in her despair. In an act completely out of character, Ralph lunged for one of the cameramen. There was no feeling of resolution in this case, even the thought of bringing the family justice gave no comfort. The judge called Ralph to the front of the courtroom after announcing the verdict. He expressed sympathy for Ralph for the tragedy and spoke of

how this case had rocked the entire community. The judge explained that though he felt compassion for Ralph and his wife, his job was to speak for the victims. Dorothy was sentenced to 30 years at the Illinois Reformatory for Women in Dwight, Illinois. The family was devastated and filed an appeal immediately. Dorothy was re-assessed in the prison and quickly transferred to the Kankakee State Mental Hospital on the recommendation of the prison psychiatrist. While incarcerated, Dorothy made several suicide attempts. During one attempt Dorothy damaged her hands which had to be wrapped in gauze. On April 7, 1957, she removed the gauze wrapping from her hands and used them to hang herself. The newspapers carried the news of Dorothy’s death and her funeral. The articles mentioned the pastor offered hope to the family that Dorothy could at last find peace. She was laid to rest near Judith and Thomas. Ralph continued to fight to have Dorothy’s murder verdict overturned. In May 1957, he filed an appeal to the Supreme Court to grant a Writ of Error. Ralph spoke of the stigma the conviction brought upon his remaining son. The court denied the request. The same church that held all of the funerals for the family hosted a fund raiser to help Richard to continue his studies at Harvard. Richard eventually received a doctoral degree. He moved to New Jersey where he worked in Biology and raised his own family. Ralph moved forward from this unbelievable tragedy. He remarried and worked at Ingersoll until his retirement in 1988. He continued to honor Dorothy’s memory whenever possible. When Richard got engaged the announcment mentioned both Ralph and Dorothy as parents. His long time commitment to the company he worked for and his service to this community brought Ralph great pride. But Ralph would probably take more pleasure in being remembered for his dedication to his family. Kathi Kresol has been researching Rockford’s past for over a decade.

Perils of natural gas The End of Days? By Allen Penticoff Columnist

In my last column on the perils of natural gas use I mostly compared coal to natural gas and the difference in their affect on air pollution. I did leave out one critical comment – that of particulate pollution. While natural gas is very low in particulate matter releases, and is therefore a better alternative to diesel and gasoline – it’s way lower than coal in fine particulate matter released into the air. Particulate matter is easiest to think of in terms of smoke. Smoke is particulate matter, but such visible particulates, while doing no good for you, at least precipitate out of the atmosphere fairly quickly. It is the minute, invisible particles associated with coal, diesel and gasoline use that are most harmful to humans and the earth in general. Our air is quite full of them and many studies have linked health problems to that emission. Back to the perils of natural gas - out of sight out of mind, in 2011 there were 35,000 oil and natural gas wells in the United States alone. Many of these are of the sort that is known as horizontal fracturing (fracking) type of well/drilling. Through a rather secretive process, water and chemicals are

injected deep in the earth to spread rocks apart to release oil and gas trapped there. Continued use of high-pressure water is needed to get the oil and gas out. The EPA has identified up to 1,000 different chemicals that may be used in fracking, although typically only a dozen from this list are used on a given well. In 2011 the EPA estimated that all these wells consumed 70 – 140 billon gallons of water. That’s a LOT of water. One fracked well may consume between 3-12 million gallons of water – then need this much again each time the well needs to be refreshed or “worked over.” Most need this at least twice in their production life span. This, while a conventional “vertical” well may need only 1/12th of the water of a fracked well. On top of consuming vast quantities of surface and ground water, that in many cases reduces the availability of water for other uses. The water that has been through a well cannot be cleaned up sufficiently to be returned from whence it came. The wastewater is generally injected under high pressure back into empty pockets deep in the earth. This process is known to cause minor earthquakes as well. In addition to the literal “wasting” of our precious water resources – contaminants from drilling, production and disposal are known to get into ground and surface waters. Many people have found their tap water to be unusable – or even flammable due to these contaminants. The well sites themselves are environmental negatives. The construction and operation of these wells causes erosion, fragments wildlife corridors and the roads and pipelines damage the earth in many ways as well. Pollution from the wells and equipment often gets into streams and lakes causing aquatic damage and sedimentation. A study in the state of Michigan found these factors to be significant on their impact on the environment. Since tens of thousands of gallons of chemicals are trucked to these remote well sites and the chemicals stored there, the opportunity for spills and leaks are profound. And they do occur. These spill have a habit of ruining the land and water in which they come into contact. To wrap up this column, I’ll say what should stick in your mind, that while everyone knows there is no such at thing as “Clean Coal” there is also no such thing as “Clean Natural Gas.” While certainly better than using coal on all accounts, it is not a good solution to our vast energy needs. Natural gas still is contributing heavily to greenhouse gases that are heating up the planet. There are options that are better and we’ll look at the pros and cons of some of them in future Mr. Green Car columns in this series.

Last week, NBC’s iconic – and sole remaining – daytime drama, Days of Our Lives celebrated its 54th anniversary by doing something unexpected: fast-forwarding storylines with a one-year time jump. In a world where a single discussion can play out over the better part of a week, it was a bold and creative move. In that intervening year, at least two characters died and even more were imprisoned – with the final scene of the November 11th episode leaving fans wondering what Will Horton could have possibly done to wind up behind bars. The excitement of Days’ total re-set came to a screeching halt the very next day when news broke that the entire Days of Our Lives cast had been released from their contacts by Corday Productions, and the show’s production will be on an “indefinite hiatus” by the end of November. NBC and Sony Pictures Television are currently in negotiations about the show’s possible renewal, which is something that happens each time it’s up for renewal. Before fans get too freaked out: the show always goes on hiatus at the end of the year – essentially between seasons, just as primetime series stop production between seasons. The only real differences are that they haven’t set a return date, and the cast members are no longer under contract. As of now, all parties are saying the long-running series has not been cancelled, but the negotiations are probably getting brutal because the heyday of daytime dramas has long since passed, and time-shifting and streaming options make it possible to watch at any time of day. Or night. That leads to another possibility to

ponder: NBC might be angling to move Days of Our Lives from the linear network to its new streaming service, Peacock, which launches in 2020. The network might be banking on soap fan’s dedication and willingness to follow their story wherever it airs, knowing that many of them will grudgingly pay a premium to be able to watch their favorite soap. Make no mistake: soap fans are just as devoted to the genre as sci-fi and superhero fans are to those genres. That means I’m expecting to see immediate backlash to this news coupled with some innovative, grassroots “Save our show” campaigns. Releasing actors from their contracts might be part of a larger negotiating tactic, but it could also be a cost-saving move – networks always push for lower costs – since re-signing fewer actors at lower salaries would save the production a lot of money. Several bets are no doubt being hedged. Actors are used to uncertainty when it comes to employment, so it could be a blessing in disguise to some cast members, since their contracts won’t prevent them from accepting other jobs while waiting to learn if the show will be renewed. According to a report by Michael Ausiello on TVLine.com, if NBC renews Days of Our Lives, production would likely resume in March. Earlier this year, I interviewed a couple Days of Our Lives cast members who told me that the show shoots more than six months in advance. That means fans should continue getting new episodes through at least May of 2020. If negotiations go well, there might not even be a gap in programming. Too bad they already did the one-year time-jump.

Stock Market

US stock indexes turn mixed after early rally loses momentum By Alex Veiga

Associated Press

Stocks on Wall Street closed with modest gains Tuesday after an early rally lost momentum toward the end of the day. The Nasdaq composite still finished with its second record high in three days, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended unchanged from the all-time high it set a day earlier. The S&P 500 crossed above the 3,100 level for the first time, placing the index on track for its own milestone finish, but the gains didn’t hold. Still, the benchmark index rebounded nearly all the way back from a loss Monday that ended a threeday winning streak. “There was some excitement on breaking 3,100, that perhaps we could continue higher on the S&P,” said JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade. “But we’ve had such an amazing two weeks that without any blockbuster news it was going to be difficult for us to continue higher.” President Donald Trump gave an update Tuesday afternoon on trade negotiations with China, saying both sides are close to a “phase-one” deal. The markets didn’t have much of a reaction to the remarks, however. The S&P 500 rose 4.83 points, or 0.2%, to 3,091.84. The index, which set a record high on Friday, has notched gains the past five weeks in a row. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed unchanged at 27,691.49. The Nasdaq gained 21.81, or 0.3%, to 8,486.09, a record. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies added 0.35 points, or less than 0.1%, to 1,595.12. Stock indexes in Europe finished broadly higher. Momentum for the market has been mostly upward for more than five weeks as worries about the U.S.-China trade war have eased, among other factors. On Tuesday, President Trump gave markets more reason for optimism on trade during a midday speech at the Economic Club of New York. Trump said the two sides are “close,” and that a “phase-one” deal on trade “could happen soon.” Trump’s latest update on trade followed conflicting signals from U.S. and Chinese officials last week on whether the two sides have agreed to any tariff rollbacks as part of the tentative trade agreement they’re negotiating. Besides expectations for a stopgap deal on the trade war, stocks have jumped

recently due to interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, data showing the economy is still growingly solidly and corporate earnings reports for the summer that weren’t as weak as expected. The rising confidence in markets has meant fewer buyers piling into the safety of gold, which dropped Tuesday to its lowest price in more than three months. Treasury yields fell slightly after trading resumed following Monday’s holiday in observance of Veterans Day. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note slipped to 1.92% from 1.93% late Friday. It was below 1.50% in early September and has been rallying with confidence in the economy’s strength. Reports have shown that the job market is still growing, which should help households keep spending at a strong clip. Such spending makes up the bulk of the economy, and the expectation is that it can more than make up for the weakness in manufacturing that the trade war is causing. “That’s the next thing we look for,” Kinahan said, noting that Black Friday, traditionally one of the busiest shopping days of the year, is only a couple weeks away. “Expectations are really high for spending. So, does the consumer live up to it?” Health care, technology and communication services stocks led the gainers Tuesday, outweighing losses in energy companies and elsewhere. Disney rose 1.3% on the day that its highly anticipated streaming video service, Disney Plus, launched. The service had some technical difficulties early in the morning, an indication that demand may have been higher than expected. Rockwell Automation jumped 10.5% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 after reporting earnings that were better than analysts were expecting. Across the S&P 500, companies are on track to report a drop of 2.4% in third-quarter earnings per share from a year before. That’s not as bad as the 4% decline analysts initially expected, according to FactSet. Just over 90% of the companies in the S&P 500 have reported their results for the summer. Not all companies are delivering solid quarterly results. Advance Auto Parts skidded 7.5% Tuesday after the auto parts retailer cut its full-year estimates for sales and income. It’s a busy week for economic data. The U.S. Labor Department will give updates on consumer and wholesale inflation.

Economists expect a government report to show that retail sales returned to growth in October. And Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is due to give testimony to Congress on Wednesday about the U.S. economy. Most investors expect the Fed to keep interest rates on hold for now after cutting them three times since the summer. Benchmark crude oil fell 6 cents to settle at $56.80 a barrel. Brent crude oil,

the international standard, fell 12 cents to $62.06 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline was little changed at $1.61 a gallon. Heating oil fell 1 cent to $1.90 per gallon. Natural gas fell 2 cents to $2.62 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gold fell $3.40 to $1,451.10 per ounce, silver fell 9 cents to $16.68 per ounce and copper fell 2 cents to $2.64 per pound. The dollar fell to 108.94 Japanese yen from 109.04 yen on Monday. The euro strengthened to $1.1011 from $1.1034.

Looking into grid service threats BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

Winter pruning basics BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

As we enter winter, there is a strong chance that you are looking to do some pruning. Perhaps your fruit trees produced an overabundance this season with limbs that could have broken based on the weight of fruit. You may have also not harvested any fruit which could be connected to your trees needing some pruning. Whichever category you are in, we are beginning to enter a period where you can successfully prune your trees and shrubs. Pruning is done for a number of reasons like safety, health, appearance, and/or size control. It’s important to realize that pruning needs vary from plant to plant. Some may need to be pruned yearly or every 2-3 years. Fruit trees and brambles (blackberry, raspberry) should be pruned every year. This is not only to address and control the size but for proper yields to develop. Ornamental shrubs and trees do not need to be pruned every year but can still beneﬁt from some yearly pruning. There are two strategies to pruning. One is considered the “1/3rd rule” in which you are pruning up to a 1/3rd of the plant each year. This amounts to removing 1-2 big limbs, dead parts, crossing limbs, and competing limbs. The other is an order of operations. In this pruning plan, you

remove di�erent limbs based on a particular order, starting with dead wood. Both of these pruning strategies are similar though. A question we commonly receive in the University of Illinois Extension o�ce is when to prune. Most fruit trees and brambles will be pruned during dormancy which is December 1 to March 1st. If you prune outside of this window, there is a chance that the wounds may not heal up properly or it is too close to when the plant needs to focus on ﬂowering. You could do some removal of suckers/water sprouts, small limbs the width of a pencil, during the growing season. You do not want to prune late summer/early fall as the cuts will not seal up properly before winter. Ornamental shrubs and trees are similar in pruning time and strategy but varies from plant to plant. It’s important to have a plan in place before you go out to the yard and start pruning. Pruning is a long term project in which getting a plant back in shape may take many years. Develop your pruning skills during this winter and your plants will thank you.

Prospects appear dim for passage of legislation that would provide additional funding for renewable energy in Illinois. Some Exelon and ComEd o�cials and multiple members of the Statehouse have been subpoenaed by the FBI in a widespread corruption investigation. According to an article in the WBEZ newsletter Com Ed appears to have hired politically connected employees and contractors in order to secure favorable government actions such as hundreds of million dollars in bailouts paid by ratepayers to keep two nuclear power plants operating. In addition to the earlier bailout Exelon declared that without additional state funding as many as four nuclear power plants are likely to close which provide power to 7.8 million customers in northern Illinois. As the federal investigation unfolds it makes passage of legislation supporting renewables less certain. The threat of closing nuclear power plants if they do not receive state funding would stress electrical service in Illinois. When Pennsylvania lawmakers rejected Exelon’s demand for subsidies this year, Exelon decided to close down the nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island. The threat draws attention to events in California where grid electrical service is periodically distrupted as a means to limit the potential of sparks from faulty or falling power lines to cause damaging wildﬁres. The experience of having electrical service disrupted has stimulated interest by home owners and commercial interests in having solar electrical systems with battery backup installed to maintain their electrical service. Battery packs in electric vehicles could serve as back up sources of power for owners of solar systems. Beyond the short term response to securing reliable electrical service is the increased interest on the part of communities in providing electricity to their

Curiosity in the

Corn

citizens. For example, the Ground Center for Resilient Communities in Michigan is focused on building support for e�ciency and renewable energy at the local level in Traverse City and Frankfort. Their emphasis is on local jobs, education and training for a clean energy transition. Given the interruption of electrical power in California and the threat of closing nuclear power plants in Illinois we might be reaching the point where centralized, monopolized electric power production is no longer desirable, reliable and economical. There are some historical examples of large scale transitions which disrupted existing patterns in the transportation section. Investments in major canal building projects were bankrupted, abandoned or shuttled when railroads became a major transportation alternative. Later the railroads themselves were challenged by the arrival of the interstate highway system. The transition to a relatively clean renewable energy system is increasingly promising given its cost advantages over coal and natural gas in many markets. A new report from The Rocky Mountain Institute warns that natural gas powered generating facilities could soon become stranded assets unable to compete with renewable energy systems with battery backup. E�ciency, solar, wind, variable demand, electric vehicles and the rapid progress in battery technologies along with improved energy control systems are undermining the existing model of centralized power production. With the continued development of microgrids, ﬁrms and businesses might conclude their energy needs could be more economically served by producing and consuming their own electrical power. As we watch storms, ﬁres, cyber attacks, utility bankruptcies and damages from climate change all wreak havoc on the electrical grid service our energy security and reliability might be better served by a more decentralized approach to providing electricity.

ROCKFORD - The Rockford IceHogs are starting to find their identity and their way into the win column. Rockford won two of three games last week, including dealing Toronto its first regulation loss of the 2019-20 season. The ‘Hogs have now won five of the last six games and is 7-3-0-0 over its last 10 contests. The Hogs’ seven wins over their last 10 games are tied for the second-most in the AHL behind only Tucson (8-2-0-0). “They’re starting to play for each other,” coach Derek King said, something his young club struggled with out of the gate, evident by a spotty 5-5 start. “Sometimes teams take a while to gel as a team,” King said. “Players in a young group figure out how to play as a team. Everybody’s has bought in to playing for each other. And when they do that, everyone looks good on the ice.” The ‘Hogs tied their franchise record for the longest win streak against the Chicago Wolves after winning a fourth straight game in the series on Sunday. The only other time the Hogs have won four straight in the series was Nov. 20 - Dec. 27, 2009. Kevin Lankinen notched his third consecutive win with 19 saves on 20 shots against Toronto. Lankinen has allowed two or fewer goals in three straight games and limited opponents to three or fewer goals in each of his last eight starts dating to last season. He boasts a 2.25 GAA and .920 save percentage (206 saves on 224 shots) over those eight games. “The mood is up,” Lankinen said. “Everybody is getting excited.” Matthew Highmore scored an empty-net goal against Chicago on Sunday to reach the 30-goal plateau for his AHL career. He is averaging better than one goal every three games with his 30 career markers in 89 total contests. He has scored at least one goal against six of the seven Central Division opponents (except Manitoba) and against nine total AHL teams during his career. Philip Holm notched the longest point streak for an IceHogs skater this season with assists in four straight games from Oct. 30 - Nov. 6. His six assists over the last six games since Oct. 30 are the second-most in the AHL behind only Jansen Harkins (10a

in 5 games). “We’ve been playing better, especially in the D-zone,” Holm said. “We’re getting pucks out quicker and spending more time in the offensive zone. In the beginning, we were trying to make hard plays. In the last couple games, we’ve learned that sometimes the easy plays are the right plays when you have time make sweeter moves and better plays, it’s right for us. The last couple games it’s been right for us. We’ve made good decisions with the puck.” Rockford scored a pair of shorthanded goals Sunday against the Wolves, pushing their total to five SHG in 13 games this season. The IceHogs share the league lead in shorthanded goals entering the week (also Cleveland) and the five total SHG are one more than their total of four powerplay goals. Reese Johnson posted a +1 rating with six penalty minutes over the Hogs’ three games last week. With the effort, he is now first among AHL rookie forwards in PIMs (29) and tied for second in plus/minus on the season (+4). “Our guys know they’ve got to work together and work smart,” King said. “The game is on the line every time you get over those boards. We’re getting more opportunities because we are winning battles. We’re spending tome in their one instead of trying to get the puck out of our zone. Good things happen when you have the puck in the offensive zone. You’re bound to score some goals. Whether it’s a little luck or a need to break the ice, guys are starting to find the net and feel comfortable.”

Upcoming Games

Friday, Nov. 15 at Grand Rapids The IceHogs travel to Grand Rapids seeking their first road win streak of the 2019-20 season. The Hogs open the 2019-20 series with the Griffins boasting a 7-3-0-0 clip against Grand Rapids last season. Saturday, Nov. 16 vs. Grand Rapids Rockford caps a two-game week with Military Appreciation Night at the BMO Harris Bank Center. Veterans and active military members will receive a free ticket for the contest and the first 1,500 fans in attendance will take home a free pair of IceHogs camo socks, courtesy of Rose Pest Solutions.

The Bears are alright and the TV’s are off ... for now By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Nobody needed more of a rebound than Mitchell Trubisky on Sunday. Nobody needed more of a solid performance with their back against the wall. The walls closing in, trapdoors opening around him, spikes lowering from the ceiling, and the noise creating a deafening, paralyzing audio bubble, Trubisky couldn’t afford another lackluster dud at the hands of the rival Lions. Not if he wanted a semblance of self-respect. Not if he wanted to salvage whatever was left from a nightmare 2019 season. Not if he wanted to show mettle he previously never put on display. He had no choice. Trubisky didn’t light up the box score, or Soldier Field, against Detroit. He didn’t put a stop to bubbling conversation of his franchise status as a “bust” with “lost potential.” No one will write home about 173 yards, 16 completions, and three touchdowns in a 20-13 win against a toothless team featuring without its starting quarterback (Matthew Stafford).

But he did what he could. He did all he had to in the immediate moment. After decrying televisions showcasing sports programming at Halas Hall criticizing the Bears and their recent demoralizing play last week, Trubisky had to put his money where his mouth was. The question was whether there was any money left. Chicago had lost four in a row. Trubisky looked like he didn’t belong in the NFL, let alone holding a clipboard. Pushing the Bears to a desperate victory in dire straits after the fact, regardless of statistical lines, counts as a worthy financial investment. And that’s more than he had proven capable of for the previous two months. It’s not a high bar of performance, but it is a step in the right direction. NFL quarterbacks can only excel with what’s handed to them. They can only thrive based on their processing ability and talent for adaptation. They must be the catalyst for teammates, bar none. For the first time since late September, Trubisky galvanized the Bears.

“I think the guys feed off how I react,” Trubisky said. “It’s my body demeanor and everything like that. We communicate on the sidelines. I let the guys know we’re close.” There’s a difference between leading by charge and leading by example. Trubisky doesn’t have issues with the former. By various accounts inside and outside of Halas Hall, he has no trouble acting as a leading voice for 53-plus grown men. It’s one of the traits that endears the former top pick to the Bears; he seems unflappable, almost to an uncommon extent. Trubisky has no trouble getting all his ducks and Bears in a row before he steps in between the lines, which is more than many signal callers can say. The latter ideal of tangible performance is what has eluded the anointed face of the franchise. The Bears would be hardpressed to point to any one area of the field where they have particularly excelled this year. Outside of Allen Robinson’s usual brilliance, they’ve maxed out at average in most relevant categories in all three phases. Finding what they do well is as difficult as mapping out a path to the playoffs after one victory. Even so, Trubisk y has been the common denominator of a dead weight on Chicago’s entire operation. He’s near last in passing yards, passer rating, and touchdown passes. 300 yards in any given game isn’t something he’s accomplished since last January. He’s last in yards per attempt (5.8), placing him amongst recent esteemed company of Josh Rosen, Joe Flacco, and Brock Osweiler. It’s company one doesn’t want to keep if the ultimate goal is to be a franchise quarterback. On the contrary, palling around with secure backups and paychecks for a lifetime might be an attainable goal. A mediocre even passable quarterback

likely has the Bears sitting pretty in the Wild Card race with at least two more victories. Unfortunately football isn’t played in a vacuum and they’re a game under .500 with a mountain of garbage to climb instead. Discussing the postseason at this stage would be as fruitless of a prospect as maintaining Trubisky has won the Bears over and convinced them of his ostensible bright future. Two exercises in futility without further development and consistency. Context is everything. The main reason Trubisky’s comments about turning televisions off struck a nerve last week was how he chose to characterize the Bears failing to meet expectations. There’s a stark dissimilar perception of the Bears’ identity to those directly involved with the organization, and those who see them clinging on a lifeline. Those on the outside see a team winning one of its last five games. Those on the interior are defined by frustration more than any other concept. The disconnect is clear and abridged. “Trying to get some of these TVs in the building turned off because you’ve got too many people talking on TV about us and what they think about us, what we should do, what we are and what we’re not,” Trubisky said, in a stream of consciousness. For one necessary week, Trubisky showed who he was, who the Bears were, what they were supposed to be. It’s a reprieve they needed. It can’t be a standalone episode. It must be built on. Trubisky dug a lion’s share of this intimidating hole the Bears find themselves in. The responsibility falls on him to dig them out. Maybe then, the TVs will stay off.
