Police Department opens recruitment

The Rockford Police Department is looking for qualified individuals to round out its police force in the new year.

The city seeks applicants with the desire to protect and serve the community, with integrity and character. Recruiting investigator Keehnen Davis says there are many benefits to the job.

“This is a great opportunity to become a guardian of justice, protector of the community, and to make positive changes in peoples’ lives,” he said. “If you’re not just looking for a job, then this is the career for you.”

Recruiters have been getting the word out by having advertisements in local stores, libraries, and health offices, to name a few places.

“We have been very intentional in our efforts to raise the public’s consciousness about the importance of community policing,” said Davis, “and, as a result, have received a significant amount of interest by citizens interested in becoming police officers. We anticipate an excellent turnout.”

The search requires no outside agency for help, Davis said. The police department is authorized to have 290 members on its force. RPD currently has 278 officers and is looking to hire 10-15 more.

Recruitment information sessions will be held at 6 p.m. on January 11 and 19 at the City of Rockford Wellness Center, 120 N. 3rd St. Applications will be accepted for the full month of January.

City Beat Stroll passed but River Lights set to remain

After a successful holiday season with over 65,000 visitors, the decorations on State Street are coming down, but some of the lights will be staying up year round thanks to some committed donors.

As part of Stroll on State, first held in 2013, the holiday display of choreographed lights and music is quickly becoming a citywide

By Erin Kolb tradition. But new this year was a display called River Lights, which featured special LED lights and music along the Rock River between Jefferson and State Streets.

“Stroll on State, as well as River Lights, is about creating new traditions for the holiday season,” said Josh Albrecht, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB). “It’s a new way to celebrate the holiday season, and it’s something the whole family can enjoy.”

‘I think it has tipped the scales in favor of living and working downtown.’

RACVB raised the $150,000 necessary to permanently install the lights through local fundraisers and other sponsors. While the lights were colored and choreographed to music for the holiday season, they will be used as typical outdoor lighting throughout the rest of the year.

“People should stay tuned – there will be performances throughout the year, probably coinciding with holidays, and people can still donate to keep the lights on,” Albrecht said.

Rockford resident and Foreign Trade Zone Administrator for the Greater Rockford Airport Authority Marge Bevers lives across the street from the display. She says the positive influence of the installation is palpable.

“I can tell you for a fact we see people all the time – families with kids, couples – coming to see the lights,” Bevers told the Times Tuesday. “Living there we get the benefit of this 24/7, it has really provided a destination for people to come see. I think it has tipped the scales in favor of living and working downtown.”

Donations will be accepted year-round to keep the lights on and allow continued performances. The RACVB is looking for volunteers to help take down the rest of the holiday lights and decorations this Saturday.

Call 815-963-8111 to get involved.

Obama’s push simply political theater 35 / 31 37 / 35

Changes proposed by the president’s executive order are limited

resident Obama is taking aim at the so-called “gun-show loophole.”

Obama’s most recent executive order on gun control attempts to clarify a distinction in federal firearms regulations between gun sales by businesses and guns sales by private individuals.

Currently, federal law requires businesses that sell guns to possess a federal firearms license. That license demands that sellers do criminal background checks on anyone who purchases a gun from them. By contrast, the law leaves personal transactions unregulated.

Is such a distinction warranted?

Defenders insist that background checks on private firearm transfers – for example, between family members, collectors, and gun enthusiasts – would unduly burden the private ownership of firearms. Critics allege that the “loophole” is exploited to sell guns to people who couldn’t pass a federal background check.

Polls reflect widespread support for universal background checks in the wake of recent mass shootings. This support exists among Democrats and Republicans. Even a majority of gun owners support it. But Congress has steadfastly refused to extend background checks to private gun sales.

Lawmakers most recently refused to pass such a change in December just after the mass shooting in San Bernardino.

The legislative process is intentionally designed to make it difficult to pass legislation over the strong opposition of a minority group. In this case, the extreme wing of the NRA membership has the ear of key congressional players like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley whose support is necessary to advance legislation. The result has been legislative deadlock.

President Obama’s executive order is an attempt to bypass this legislative deadlock.

The executive order has been carefully crafted to survive a court challenge. It does not erase the distinction between business and private firearms sales. Rather, it broadens the definition of a business and provides for stricter enforcement of restrictions on business sales by hiring additional personnel to conduct background checks.

Yet, even the president has admitted that the executive order is “not going to prevent every mass shooting.”

There is evidence that unregulated private

sales – over the internet and at gun shows – are a source of guns for individuals who are ineligible to purchase or possess a firearm.

However, the weapons used in recent mass shootings in San Bernardino and Umpqua Community College in Oregon were acquired legally at federally licensed gun stores or through private transactions that likely wouldn’t be affected by Obama’s new rules. In other words, the president’s executive order would not have stopped these shooters.

The president’s executive order and its focus on the “gun-show loophole” is largely political theater. Act II will be his upcoming town hall meeting on CNN. Although these new rules might have a marginal effect on reducing illegal sales through a slight expansion of background checks for some sales previously considered private, it falls far short of gun-control advocates’ longstanding efforts to close the “loophole.” They want universal background checks, plus bans on high powered firearms, high capacity magazines, and armor-piercing ammunition. They also want mandatory gun owner liability insurance and federal funding for gun violence research.

Other items in the executive order include modernization of processing operations for background checks, using the federal government’s purchasing power to push development of smart gun technology, and stricter

requirements for reporting lost or stolen guns to federal authorities.

Although President Obama has taken center stage on this issue, presidential candidates of both parties are playing supporting roles.

Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have called for closing the gun-show loophole, although neither has explained how they would make it happen.

On the Republican side, candidates Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie have spuriously suggested that the president’s modest proposals to clarify and more vigorously enforce existing regulations would infringe on the Second Amendment right to own a firearm and represent an attack on private gun ownership.

In the end, the president’s executive order is well within his powers to enforce the law, although given his inability to break the legislative stalemate over universal background checks, his powers to advance significant gun controls are extremely limited.

Moreover, with over 350 million firearms already in private hands, even the most ambitious proposals to limit firearms sales are unlikely to end high profile massacres that have become increasingly routine in the US. Timothy D Lytton is Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Law at Georgia State University where he teaches regulatory policy, administrative law, and torts.

Even the president has admitted that the executive order is ‘not going to prevent every mass shooting.’

Eleven more counties declared disaster areas

CPD torture victims receive $5.5M

Illinois News Network Eleven more Illinois counties have been added by the governor to the disaster declaration after the recent flooding, bringing the total number to 23.

The declaration makes a variety of state resources available, according to the governor’s office, like sandbags, pumps, trucks, inmate crews and other resources to ensure public safety. During a stop in Iroquois County, which was declared a disaster area Tuesday, Governor Bruce Rauner said the declarations are just the beginning of the recovery effort.

“There’s a public assistance where the federal government can reimburse government costs for the flood damage and flood recovery expenses. There’s also individual assistance.”

In another county declared a disaster Tuesday, Sangamon County Administrator Brian McFadden says federal assistance could be available to buy out properties prone to floods, which has been done in previous floods that got federal assistance.

“The logical, the sensible, the more cost efficient solution is remove those structures off the property and in the case of the county’s purchases those properties are now considered natural areas and in some cases have been converted to park use.”

The governor’s office says if the state meets certain criteria through the federal government the state could be get a federal disaster declaration from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The other additional counties are Cass, Cumberland, Lawrence, Marion, Menard, Moultrie, Pike, Richland and Vermilion.

Auditor: Comptroller’s late fund transfers total $1.6 billion

Chronically delayed fund transfers made by Illinois’ Comptroller total $1.6 billion for the previous fiscal year, according to one of the final audits from Auditor General William Holland.

In the fiscal officer responsibilities audit released just before the new year Holland says the Comptroller did not make all statutorily mandated transfers between state funds within established timeframes, going as long as 459 days after a mandated transfer date.

The report says Comptroller officials blame the late payments on cash management decisions and prioritization due to the lack of available cash in the State Treasury — problems that have been repeated since 2009.

The Auditor’s office recognized the lack of funds but recommended the Comptroller continue to make transfers as timely as possible.

Mixed signals on climate change action

By Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

T

he recent U.S. extension of the 30 percent tax for solar energy along with the 2.3¢/ kWh production tax credit for wind power are expected to simulate the growth of these renewable energy sources through 2020.

The EPA Clean Power Plan introduced in August of 2015 set ambitious goals for reducing carbon pollution from power plants 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Retiring old coal-burning plants will also cut sulfur dioxide releases along with other emissions which adversely impact the environment and human health. These actions are included in voluntary reductions the United States pledged to undertake at the recent international conference on climate change in Paris.

While wind power costs are dropping the costs of solar projects are falling dramatically.

Berkshire Hathaway has contracted to buy electricity from First Solar’s Playa Solar 2 Utility scale project in Nevada for only 3.87¢/kWh over 20 years. Wood Mackenzie has predicted that the solar industry could be poised for a major

breakthrough that could match the scale of shale developments in the U.S. over the last few years.

As coal-fueled power plants close they are being replaced by natural gas-fueled power plants.

Natural gas is the world’s fastest growing primary energy resource, currently accounting for 24 percent of global primary energy. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration natural gas consumption is expected to increase 50 percent by 2040. Its low price has accelerated its replacement of coal for power production.

While natural gas combustion releases roughly half the carbon of coal, the switch from coal to natural gas is not as clean as it appears to be based solely on carbon reductions. Some studies have pointed out that the release of methane during drilling for gas and its subsequent shipment offset the benefits of lower carbon releases.

Methane gas is a far more powerful contributor to climate change than is carbon.

The fossil fuel industry has projected the expansion of consumption through 2050 and beyond while some climate change advocates recommend that 80 percent of the existing fossil fuels remain in the ground. A report from Car-

bon Tracker indicates over $2 trillion worth of fossil fuel assets are at risk if the global community sticks to the goal of limiting the global temperature increases to 2 degrees celsius. Since the development of fossil fuel holdings necessitates substantial amounts of capital, investors may be unwilling to invest in such projects, leaving them as stranded assets.

While operating nuclear power plants have few if any carbon releases, it is unclear at this time whether their role in avoiding carbon releases will be included in carbon reduction plans.

While the need to limit carbon emissions is widely acknowledged, whether appropriate, timely actions are implemented remains to be seen. Along with passing legislation to extend renewable energy credits, the ban on exporting oil from the United States was lifted. This could open the door to exporting fracked oil and gas and tar sands oil to Europe if the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is enacted.

By installing a solar system individuals can give a clear signal to others as to where they stand.

RRI chats with Lords of the New Church’s Becvare

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

R

ockford Rocked Interview: Before we get into anything else let’s talk about what made you want to be a part of music in the first place.

Adam Becvare: My mom’s youngest brother was a real problem child. He got me into plenty of trouble and dirt bikes. He also gave me Deep Purple Made in Japan. By 12, I was in so much trouble on my dirt bike that my folks sold it out from under me. I was devastated and turned to the rock. In 1981 I guilted my mom into letting me see Motörhead and Ozzy at the Metro Center. Motörhead made me play rock ‘n roll. Randy Rhoads made me play guitar. Uncle Mike got me a telecaster that next Christmas.

RRI:Instead of going to college or a trade school right after high school you moved to Hollywood to be a part of the ever growing “Hair Rock” movement of the late ’80s. How supportive were your parents of your decision?

AB: I don’t recall my parents ever being supportive of any direction I took. They were more concerned that I was running with a crowd that was five years older than me. They liked that playing music was keeping me busy though. My dad had loaned me money for my first decent guitar. Once he realized I was serious and good he got me a job working under Lance Porter (Armed Vision) so I could save up and leave for Hollywood after high school. Last but not least, he cosigned on a credit card as long as I kept up with the minimum payments.

RRI: Tell us what it was like the first few weeks after you arrived on the Sunset Strip – where you lived, what you ate for dinner, how you made friends, etc.

AB: I followed my oldest Rockford friend and drummer Matthew Robert Lentz to Hollywood.

His family had helped him get set up out there to attend Musicians Institute. I didn’t have those luxuries but I had Matt’s floor space. I knew if Poison could just move there and get signed anyone could, so I lived on that credit card for nine months and ate ramen.

RRI: You eventually found yourself in New York City giving it a go. How different was Los Angeles from NYC? AB: Honestly, I hated LA. I experienced a very cool and important part of music history there but never bonded with anyone. It was just all too superficial for me. It took me a few years in Rockford with my folks help to straighten me out at 21. I then answered an ad in Village Voice and

moved to NYC to play with Anthony Esposito of Lynch Mob. RRI: You stirred things up a bit here in Rockford with your band Buick Mackane and the Drill. Was there ever any label interest in that lineup?

AB: Buick MacKane was me getting back on my rock ‘n roll feet after cancer and an overdose.

I had to relearn guitar and I was on court-ordered meds, shrinks and counseling for three years. I was stir crazy and hungry and picked awesome players and friends to make some very wicked memories with. We were quite notorious and fearless. It’d garnered the interest of HAIR Producer Michael Butler but there was no label interest as grunge had the world by the throat at that time.

RRI: Tell us how you hooked up with I.R.S. Records recording artists Lords of the New Church.

AB: In 1997 I had moved to San Francisco.

There I’d met a longtime rock photographer whilst playing in the band, American Heartbreak. I’d been also toying around with this “last minutemen of rock project” The LustKillers. That was me and friends of other SF bands who could take last minute shows as we were always hanging out anyways. We’d been recording my old revamped songs that Michael Butler had wanted for his musical.

My photographer friend shared those LK demos with punk guitar legend Brian James (the Damned, Lords of the New Church). It took me quite a bit of convincing to replace the late, legendary Stiv Bators.

Cinema

Ten films to look for in 2016

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

H

ollywood’s obsession with superhero movies doesn’t look to be slowing down with 2016 seeing seven films released by Marvel and DC. Although Alejandro González Iñárritu likened this to “cultural genocide,” the upcoming films look to offer something different. With Suicide Squad boasting an all-star cast and a darker take on the genre, David Ayer is looking to break the mold.

Over in the Marvel camp, Bryan Singer, who was redefining the superhero movie before Christopher Nolan was suiting up Christian Bale, is back with X-Men Apocalypse and an exceptional cast.

This isn’t a list of superhero films however, instead these are films that have caught my eye while perusing this year’s listings. Regarding Iñárritu, I’d have liked to have added The Revenant to the list but it did get a limited release in December to ensure it was Oscar eligible. Sorry.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

If ever a film promised what it said on the tin then it’s Burr Steers upcoming comedy horror.

Based on the hugely successful novel by Seth

Grahame-Smith, Jane Austen’s world is infected by the undead, pitting classic literary characters against the zombie horde.

Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds stars as the “merc with a mouth” in a project that was long feared dead.

Sharing the same continuity as the X-Men series, Deadpool has received what looks to be a very fair, if surprising, R rating. With gratuitous violence and fourth wall breaking bad language, Tim Miller’s film is definitely not for kids.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

Two of the most legendary heroes in comic book history are set to go head to head this summer on the big screen. Response to the trailers have been mixed as Warner Bros. hope to kick-start their own DC Universe. Expect this one to be a moody spectacle.

Snowden

Oliver Stone’s new film is a biographical political thriller based on Edward Snowden, the computer professional who leaked classified information. With Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the title role, expect an unflinching and penetrating

criticism of the American Government.

The BFG

On a lighter note, Roald Dahl’s much loved children’s story gets a live action remake. Directed by Stephen Spielberg, the BFG will tell the story of how a young orphan named Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) takes on man eating giants with the help of her own lovable behemoth (Mark Rylance).

Untitled Fifth Bourne Film After the disappointment of The Bourne Legacy, we welcome back Matt Damon as the ultimate fighting amnesiac Jason Bourne. With Paul Greengrass back in the director’s chair, the new installment to the series is sure to be a return to form.

Inferno

Ron Howard’s adaptions of Dan Brown’s books may not be loved by critics but they’re hits at the box office. Tom Hanks returns as Robert Langdon to solve many more puzzles while finding himself the target of a major manhunt.

Sully

Fresh off the criticisms that faced American Sniper, Clint Eastwood turns his gaze

towards Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the American pilot who heroically landed the troubled US Airways Flight 1549 full of passengers on the Hudson River. With Tom Hanks in the lead, expect this one to be received more warmly.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

The Harry Potter saga may be long concluded but there are many more stories to be told from J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world. David Yates directs Eddie Redmayne in this spin-off that looks to be layered with allusions to real life political and social issues.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

If you’re already looking for a post-Star Wars The Force Awakens fix, this should tide you over until Episode VIII is released. Set slightly before the events of Star Wars A New Hope, Disney looks to keep the ball rolling by further expanding on their own Star Wars universe.

Golden Globes kick off winter awards

By Paula Hendrickson

A

Television Columnist

bout this time every year, as new year resolutions either take hold or fade away, one thing’s for certain: The Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award shows can’t be far behind.

The Golden Globes are first up, with Ricky Gervais returning as host, following a couple years of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler co-hosting the event. Fey and Poehler got away with some big digs by virtue of their charm, but Gervais’ biting humor that goes for the jugular isn’t always appreciated by the actors in attendance. It does, however, make great fodder for live tweeting.

Like the Screen Actors Guild, the Golden Globes honor actors in both film and television.

Unlike the SAG Awards, which are nominated and voted on by fellow actors, winners of the Golden Globes are chosen by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press, which number fewer than 100.

Another reason people enjoy watching the Golden Globes is that alcohol is served at the

event, and it’s not uncommon to see a slightly over-served winner (or presenter) say or do something a bit unexpected. In other words, people tend to be more spontaneous at the Golden Globes than they would be at the Oscars or Emmys — occasionally, flat out drunk.

The Globes are also known for including lesser-known shows and actors among nominees, instead of going with more popular or obvious choices.

This year, on the TV side, the major Golden Globe nominees break down like this: Best TV Series, Drama: Empire (Fox); Game of Thrones (HBO); Mr. Robot (USA); Narcos

(Netflix); and Outlander (Starz).

Best Performance by an Actress, Drama Series: Caitriona Balfe (Outlander); Viola Davis (How to Get Away With Murder); Eva Green (Penny Dreadful); Taraji P. Henson (Empire); Robin Wright (House of Cards).

Best Performance by an Actor, Drama Series: Jon Hamm (Mad Men), Rami Malek (Mr. Robot); Wagner Moura (Narcos); Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul); Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan).

Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy: Casual (Hulu); Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon Prime Video); Orange is the New Black (Netflix); Silicon Valley (HBO); Transparent (Amazon Prime Video); Veep (HBO).

Best Performance by an Actress, Musical or Comedy: Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend); Jamie Lee Curtis (Scream Queens); Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep); Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin); Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie).

Best Performance by an Actor, Musical or Comedy: Aziz Ansari (Master of None); Gael Garcia Bernal (Mozart in the Jungle); Rob Lowe (The Grinder); Patrick Stewart (Blunt Talk);

Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent).

Best Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television: American Crime (ABC); American Horror Story: Hotel (FX); Fargo (FX); Flesh & Bone (Starz); Wolf Hall (PBS).

Best Performance by an Actress, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television: Kirsten Dunst (Fargo); Lady Gaga (American Horror Story: Hotel); Sarah Hay (Flesh & Bone); Felicity Huffman (American Crime); Queen Latifa (Bessie).

Best Performance by an Actor, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television: Idris Elba (Luther); Oscar Isaac (Show Me a Hero); David Oyelowo (Nightingale); Mark Rylance (Wolf Hall); Patrick Wilson (Fargo).

For a complete list of nominees, including supporting players and the film nominees, you can find it at the Golden Globe’s website, goldenglobes.com.

Commentary

2016 outlook: middle-class woes and the fear factor Editor’s note: Content partners The Conversation asked a few regular writers to weigh in on what will (or should) be the key economic themes and issues of 2016 or offer their predictions. Topping the list are the worsening plight of the middle class, a wager on wages growing again and why we have less to fear than some of the White House hopefuls suggest.

The middle-class meltdown

M

iddle-income households – those that earn $42,000 to $126,000 – are shrinking in number and earning a smaller share of all US income. This gutting of the middle class will only get worse if policymakers do nothing to stem it, which is why it will continue to be an important issue as we head toward the general election in November.

The Pew Research Center recently released a report that reveals that for the first time in almost 45 years, middle-income households now account for only 50 percent of all US households.

In 1971, 61 percent of American households were middle-income.

In contrast, the number of upper-income households rose from 14 percent in 1970 to 21 percent in 2014, while the number of lower-income households increased from 25 percent to 29 percent. (Lower-income households are defined as earning less than 67 percent of the median income of about $63,000, middle-income making 67 percent to 200 percent and higher-income households earning more than double.)

In other words, while the middle class has shrunk, there has been a dramatic increase in households that are either very rich or very poor.

This polarization of incomes represents a seismic shift in the fabric of American life.

The share of overall income earned by rich households continues to climb and is almost as much as all other households combined. While 29 percent of total US income went to rich households in 1970, that number soared to 49 percent by 2014.

At the same time, the share for middle-income households plummeted. They had 62

percent of aggregate income in 1970, but only 43 percent in 2014.

American workers, especially those without a college degree, are now less likely to hold middleor high-wage jobs because most of the positions that have been created over the last two decades have been either high-skilled (and higher-income), or low-skilled (and lower-income). The middle is being squeezed out and left behind.

Changes in the composition and income of the middle class have created an economically polarized society. The most important issue in 2016, and one that presidential candidates will be forced to address, is how to reverse the worsening economic plight of middle-income Americans.

2016: the year wage stagnation ends

T

he year 2016 could be the year the country ends its 30 years of wage stagnation and begins attacking income inequality.

The strengthening economy, along with the growing frustration that many are not sharing in it, has elevated wages to the top of presidential campaign debates, while workers and their advocates are already taking direct actions to press for wage increases.

The “fight for $15“ minimum wage battle is the most visible form of direct action, one mounted by a coalition of unions and community groups. It has already succeeded in raising wages in 14 states or localities and is on the 2016 agenda in 15 additional cities or states.

Across the country new forms of worker organizing are emerging, including a number that

are putting information technologies to work to support workers.

Uber drivers are raising their voices in class action suits and union organizing drives, and apps like Sherpashare, Glassdoor and others are providing workers the data needed to separate good from bad employers. Watch for more “worker-centric” apps to emerge using information and transparency as new sources of bargaining power while unions use collective bargaining and public pressure to keep forcing low-wage firms like McDonald’s and Walmart to keep raising wages.

A growing chorus of business leaders, from start-up entrepreneurs to Wall Street veterans and social investors, is challenging the corporate focus on maximizing short-term shareholder returns in recognition that companies can produce long-term value for shareholders and provide good jobs with good wages.

The year 2016 will see increased debate over how to make these companies the norm, not the exceptions.

But the best way to fulfill my prediction that 2016 will be the year America starts turning wages around would be to elect candidates who will support and translate these examples into national policies capable of building an economy that works for all.

Thomas A Kochan MIT Sloan School of Management

No reason to fear

F

ear will be the key business and economic trend in 2016 – though it shouldn’t be.

The press and pundits will constantly barrage us with the potentially devastating impact of forthcoming interest rate hikes, recessions, stock

market meltdowns, commodity price swings and geopolitical realignments.

During 2016, fear will be stressed even more than usual because of the US presidential election.

Any budding politician understands the easiest way to mobilize voters is to strike fear in their hearts, especially over their own economic condition. By inciting fear, they hope to persuade voters to elect them to solve the problem.

This fear is grossly misplaced. Long-term economic trends across the globe are impressive.

Since the year 2000, in just 15 years, the world’s per-person GDP has grown by 20 percent, after adjusting for inflation. It is even stronger in poor areas like sub-Saharan Africa, which grew over 30 percent.

If global growth continues at this rate, in a bit more than half a century the world – every man, woman and child – will produce twice as much annually as what is produced now. That tremendous growth means twice as many goods like homes, cars and food; twice as many services like medical care and education; twice as much available for cleaning up the environment and helping the needy.

The world’s economic pie is growing dramatically. However, almost all of us fail to see this growth and the amazing possibilities it presents humanity.

Instead, human nature causes us to focus on shortterm problems.

Former US President Franklin Roosevelt said at his inauguration, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” That statement is as true today as it was during the Great Depression.

Ignore the fear and instead enjoy the growing pie in 2016.

Save yourself: vote in 2016

By Nancy Churchill Contributor

A

re you happy with your life? Do you have a great job that provides lots of time off to be with your family, that pays generous benefits in case you get sick or are injured, with a wage that allows you to afford a nice house, car, plus college tuition? Are jobs so plentiful, education is so affordable, and life’s choices so varied that it was easy to choose a path that was most inspirational to you?

If so I’d like to know what planet you live on.

Chances are it’s just the opposite. Chances are you studied hard at something that you enjoyed, only to have your student debt drown everything else out.

Then when (or if) you graduated, no one in your chosen field was hiring, so you supplemented with a job waiting tables. The hours are broken up by your employer, such that it’s difficult to pick up your child from school; you don’t dare call in sick or complain

if your employer takes part of your tips because every other employer does pretty much the same.

And that’s if you can even find a job.

And if you can’t, lawmakers are changing the rules about whether you actually qualify for unemployment. They say government is too big, that the “safety net” is like a hammock that encourages you to sit at home instead of looking for a job. They say you’d rather sit home collecting unemployment than knock yourself out working. They say the deficit is too high, which they must make up for by cutting unemployment and other services like SNAP (supplemental nutritional assistance program), the program you depend on to feed your kids.

They say this while they insist on greater tax cuts to giant corporations that have been raking in record profits. They claim that these tax cuts help those corporations create millions of jobs. They repeat this over and over, even as those jobs never seem to materialize.

And none of this is by accident.

A century ago giant corporations raked in huge profits while workers struggled in sweat shops. If you were lucky there was a soup kitchen in your neighborhood, but no food stamps. Without Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or unemployment it was far worse than today.

Those services didn’t spring out of the ethers. People fought hard for them. They elected the right kind of lawmakers who were attuned to their needs rather than the guys on Wall Street with the most money.

But people who own giant corporations never seem to have enough. Today those who have the most are fighting hardest to cut services for people who struggle the most. They manage to eliminate unions who fight for better wages and safer working conditions by pretending to allow workers the “freedom” not to pay for what the unions do for them.

Don’t buy it. Unions secure hours, wages and benefits that serve you. Without them corporations can set wages lower and lower, deny decent hours,

benefits and pensions.

So what can you do about this? Vote. Really, that’s it.

Well, first, educate yourself. Then get registered.

We need a massive voter registration drive across the nation. Because the only way to stop a politician from cutting more taxes on the wealthy while slashing social services is to replace him or her with a different kind of politician dedicated to saving and even expanding social services until people can get on their feet, a politician with a strategy to rebuild national infrastructure and develop clean energy jobs. Progressive politicians like Bernie Sanders, in national and local races, up and down the ticket.

We the People owe it to ourselves, regardless of our current economic status — but especially if we are among the most hurting — to help organize a voter drive to elect Bernie Sanders as the Democratic Party nominee. Then sweep him and those like him to victory in the general election.

For RPS, transparency inspires trust

n June 2015, Rockford Public School District 205 (RPS205) denied the FOIA request for a copy of a legal opinion on a potential conflict of interest. The Illinois Attorney General looked into this denial and issued an order for RPS205 to release all documents and communications regarding the opinion. On December 23, instead of engaging in legal maneuvers in court, RPS205 complied with the Attorney General and released its extensive legal analysis of Superintendent Jarrett’s conflicts of interest with Stenstrom Companies. Because of this released legal opinion, we can be assured that this ethical conundrum was properly considered by the school district. We would like to laud RPS205 for taking this positive step, and we sincerely hope that this will be part of an ongoing trend of increasing transparency from RPS205.

RPS205’s Superintendent Ehren Jarrett is married to a majority owner of Stenstrom Companies, one of the many construction companies in Rockford. Since Superintendent Jarrett came to the school district in 2011, expenditures to Stenstrom Companies have ballooned exponentially.

By 2014, Stenstrom Companies became the largest payee of the school district according the district’s check registry.

In 2013, Atty. Thomas Bueschel, who has worked for the district as a contractor since the 1980s, wrote the legal opinion on potential conflicts of interest between Superintendent Jarrett and Stenstrom Companies. Using the legal opinion as a justification, RPS205 legal counsel Lori Hoadley concluded that there was no conflict of interest and Stenstrom Companies

could be awarded the construction projects.

Transparency is a vital aspect to shape any sort of discourse on public education. Before the 2014 referendum to approve the construction of new school facilities, Superintendent Jarrett appeared on TV and radio stations and promised the community that there would be no cutbacks on any educational programs or tax increases. In fact, Superintendent Jarrett had also recommended that the district should speed up the timeline of the facility plan to 2015 from 2017.

Unfortunately, after the election, the district disclosed its budget deficit. Afterwards, the district took a heavy dose of cuts across the entire budget, including more than half of the building

Reading Specialists, Bilingual Specialists, etc., according to the FY16 Budget Book. Many of these specialists have been shown in research studies to help disadvantaged students break out of the poverty cycle. These cuts come at the same time as the district has delayed the purchase of middle school math textbooks despite the fact that Illinois completely changed its curriculum to accommodate for a changing job environment. Although new buildings are an important feature of attractive schools, these do not translate into better student performance. Both Lewis Lemon and Ellis Academy have won awards for their new construction, but only 5-6 percent of their students meet the minimum state standards to

date, while in 2003 Lewis Lemon’s performance was amongst the best in Rockford.

With a potential sales tax increase coming, Rockford citizens will shoulder most of the costs for this facility plan, contrary to original statements made by RPS205. While predicting economic downturns is difficult even for the best of us, we hope that in the future, the district will be more open about how they come to their conclusions so that we as a community can be prepared for the effects of what we vote for. Thankfully, the school district has been taking measures to better inform the public. For example, after August, 2015, RPS205 started publishing its Construction Bid Pay Request Log at every board meeting, allowing the public to easily track payments between the district and various construction companies. We hope that RPS205 will continue to make encouraging progress and promote enthusiastic, informed discussions towards improving public education.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo Week of Jan. 6-12, 2016

This Week: Mercury retrograde arrives January 6 and remains in that astrological pattern until January 26. You all know the drill, be cautious during travel, check and double check messages, emails and communication. This also may not be the best time to attempt to make significant decisions with your life. The new moon in Capricorn on January 10 may accentuate feelings of heaviness or loss. Concentrate on pushing your way through mundane tasks to avoid getting sucked into the dark void within your soul. Energies will lift by week’s end.

Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You will be receiving messages from those on the other side at this time. Try not to second guess what your gut is trying to tell you. This is a unique experience that many of us are not exposed to in a life time. Carefully express to to others the knowledge that you have received, then let it go, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­ — Take care of your mundane tasks first. Pay the bills, take care of your documents, and clear up all of your responsibilities.

Your personal life has been on hold but now it will begin to take shape and form.

Romance becomes a big priority by week’s end, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — You’re restless and require a change of scenery, so this would be a good time to schedule a vacation. You may feel as though you can’t take the time away, but it is crucial for your peace of mind. A romantic aspect sheds new light on a complex problem, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — You could make romance your priority this week or succumb to your own personal habits and hope that next week will turn out better for you. I suggest that you make room for your romantic aspects first and foremost. With that said, everything else will fall into place. Your finances will take a turn for the better if you take a timeout midweek, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Opportunities for advancement within your work sector will be arriving in 2016. Everything you have worked so hard for will come to fruition within the the frame of your heart’s desire. Now it’s time to work on your personal life a bit. You may have been neglecting your loved ones as you focus so much on career. Strive for a happy medium, Leo.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Exciting news arrives regarding friends and family that sends you to the moon and back with elation. Meanwhile, an aggravating coworker, boss or employee parts ways which eliminates the stressful dynamic within your workplace, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You are progressing at a high rate of speed and those around you are willing to help you reach your goals. This may be the best time to rectify an old-standing problem with a loved one. Take your time and choose your words carefully. You are the shining star at week’s end, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Opportunities arrive to improve the quality of your love life as long as you are willing to make the effort. Don’t be timid, the object of your affection is not that unreasonable.

A business venture will pan out quickly, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — You have so many opportunities to change the course of your life, now it’s time to set these into motion. Romantic options begin to align and you have your pick of the litter. By week’s end you will feel more peaceful than you have in quite some

time, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You are past the point of hot this week. Your sensual energy is peaking, something that you may have felt lost in the shuffle recently. Now that you have your financial elements balanced you are in a position to enjoy the physical pleasures of life. With that said, go for it, Cap. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You are in a grand trine of fortune this week.

Take advantage of all of the gifts that the universe has to offer. You can balance your personal and financial sector in a more sufficient way at this time. An unexpected call from someone from your past will allow you to feel more connected now, Aquarius Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You may need to watch your back a bit early on this week. Another that appears to be threatened by you could be trying to create a bit of chaos at this time. Ignore it, it will go away and you will be all the wiser from this experience. You have backing from an unexpected source, Pisces.

Voices from the Grave

A demon terrifies a Rockford family

By Kathi Kresol

A Contributor

family living in a haunted house or being visited by a demon isn’t a new concept anymore. You can find shows on television almost every night of the week portraying either paranormal investigation teams looking for evidence or a family getting more than they bargained for when they moved into a new house.

But when this story takes place it was harder to find investigative teams and most people thought a person was crazy if they claimed to hear disembodied voices.

A book supposedly based on true events was released in 1977. The Amityville Horror, written by Jay Anson, was made into a film in 1979. It told the story of George and Kathy Lutz who bought a house and were forced to flee due to evil forces that threatened to possess them.

What some of you might not remember is that Rockford had a case much like the Lutz family. It took place in 1982 to a family on Rockford’s east side.

Vaughn and Sherri moved into what they hoped would be their dream home with their five children. Those hopes were dashed almost a year later when the family fled their home in terror. At first, they tried to ignore what they thought was a ghost but that ended after the wife, Sherrie was temporarily possessed by a demon during a seance.

Their claims started shortly after they moved into the home in 1981. The events seemed to appear in a pattern of every three weeks. They heard footsteps walking up the stairs from the basement after which someone or something would attempt to open the basement door. The television in the living room would turn on by itself in the middle of the night even after the family unplugged it.

Household items such as pots, pans, plates and silverware would disappear only to reappear in another location after three weeks. The missing items were always in sets of three.

The incidents grew more frightening until one day when Sherri was visiting with a friend and both of the women heard horrible growling noises coming from the basement.

Terrified, they both fled to a neighbor’s home.

The neighbor insisted on phoning the police despite Sherri’s reluctance. The police filed a report that became public and the newspapers reported on the family’s experiences. The police found no explanation for the noises. There was an article that mentioned when the police report was filed, the officer was startled by the

last digits for the case number. The number ended in 666.

Sherri and Vaughn were assisted by a local amateur ghost hunter. He offered to conduct a seance with the couple to determine what exactly was in the home. It was during this seance that Sherri seemed to become possessed. Her face contorted and she began to emit a loud growling noise. The men became very frightened for her safety and shook her until she came back to her senses. Sherri had little memory of what had happened during the seance but she found several deep scratches on her body. The ghost hunter told the family that this was no ordinary ghost and that he believed their house contained a demon.

The family contacted a minister from a local Pentecostal church who agreed to help. The minister insisted that Sherri leave with the children during the exorcism. The minister was joined by his assistant, the ghost hunter, and Vaughn. They all stated later in an article in the Register Star from March 22, 1982 that they immediately sensed something in the basement. The temperature was colder wherever the presence appeared to be. The men were in the basement for an hour and a half reciting prayers and using anointing oil to cleanse the home. They continued until they felt the presence leave.

The minister came back again to conduct a final prayer service for the family. Though everyone agreed that the presence was gone and the house felt lighter and safer, the family was afraid to remain in the home. They left the house and moved to an undisclosed location.

Some people were skeptical about the family’s experience while others tormented the family by knocking on their door and requesting to see the “demon house”. But unlike the Lutz family in the Amityville Horror story, this family was reluctant to go public with the story. One can only hope that their new home brought a feeling of safety for the family.

Rockford Register Star won a third place award in the local features category for the article that Dave Daley wrote about the incident titled “The Demon Within”.

No other claims were found about the family or the location.

Kathi Kresol, local author and founder of Haunted Rockford will share stories like this at the event: Encounters with the Other Side on Sunday, January 17 at the Command Post Restaurant, 1004 Samuelson Rd., from 1-3 p.m. The cost for the event is $15 per person.

Nation & World

Study: more Mexicans are leaving the US than coming in

By David Cook Martin TheConversation.com

D

uring the most recent Republican debate, Donald Trump declared “people are pouring across the southern border.”

Trump is right that the United States has been a major immigrant destination since the 1960s, but if he is referring to Mexican flows today, he is wrong.

According to sociologists Frank Bean and Gillian Stevens, Mexican migration to the United States is “the largest sustained flow of migrant workers in the contemporary world,” and Mexico is the single largest contributor of migrants to the United States since 1965.

But here’s what Trump ignores: a recent Pew Report shows that more Mexicans are leaving than coming to the United States – reversing a decades-long trend.

The main reason for the trend is family reunification, but this migration back to Mexico is not driven by nostalgia for kin. The reasons behind it are much more complex.

Mexican families have to grapple with hard economic and legal realities, and they often conclude that returning to Mexico is their best option.

The Pew Report looks at the years between 2009 and 2014. It combines Mexican survey data on the entry of Mexicans and their families – including American children – with US census data on Mexican entries to the United States. The report is designed to overcome the limitations of national statistics that typically ignore departures.

The study shows a net loss of 140,000 Mexican immigrants from the United States. One million Mexican migrants and their children left the US for Mexico, while just over 860,000 left Mexico for the United States.

While this may seem like a desirable outcome from an immigration control perspective, it may signal problems in the US economy. Among other things, it means that the children of Mexican returnees – kids who are US citizens – are leaving the

country. US losses may be Mexico’s gain in a world market that rewards multilingual workers.

So what is driving this “return” migration to Mexico?

Respondents to one of the surveys behind the Pew Report were able to check off a box that says “reunite with the family” in response to a question about “the reason for [NAME]’s return.”

Six in 10 surveyed Mexicans who lived in the United States in 2009 but in Mexico by 2014 said they were moving back to reunite with family or to start a family. But this doesn’t tell us anything about what reuniting with one’s family involves.

Research by Wayne Cornelius and colleagues concurs with the Pew Report that family reunification is an important reason for return, but also suggests that Mexicans living in the US are more likely to stay when they have good jobs.

The evidence for this claim is an upward trend in remittances from the US to Mexico between 2014 and 2015. Cornelius and his colleagues show that economic factors matter a great deal, even if they are not the only ones that matter in making migration decisions.

After all, the pull of the family has been a historical constant. Most migrants, domestic or international, pine for their relatives back home.

Blues, Yiddish tango and the letters of Polish and

Italian immigrants to relatives left behind are cultural expressions of this truism.

Yet missing home has not consistently driven return migration flows in the past, in the ways we’re seeing now with Mexicans. What’s driving it is changing economic, political and demographic conditions.

While “family reunification” may sound like a decidedly noneconomic rationale for return migration, it is not. Sociologists and economists have long made the case that people migrate primarily in search of economic opportunities and to diversify risks and sources of income from a familial – rather than a solely individual – standpoint.

From this perspective, it is not surprising that the lagged effects of the 2009 recession enter the decision-making progress of both individuals and families deciding whether to migrate.

Here, there and in-between

The United States tends to focus on factors that pull immigrants into the country – like jobs and higher wages. It also looks at deterrents like restrictive policies. While these are critical factors in families’ decisions about migration, the return of Mexicans may be attributable more to failures in US family reunification policy than

in any intentional deterrent policy.

Currently, Mexican family preference visas are being issued with a two-decade delay.

Imagine a Mexican family that planned to move to the US as a hedge against risks in the labor market and to gain access to credit markets back during the Clinton administration. A decades-long delay in getting a visa, coupled with a major recession in the US and economic improvements in Mexico, may lead to a reconsideration of these plans.

Mexico’s economy has improved dramatically in the last decade. This improvement has translated into new job opportunities within the country. Fertility rates have decreased, and the population has aged. That means there are fewer people in the age cohort most likely to migrate – those aged 18 to 35. Smaller families are a trend that will not change quickly.

In addition, border enforcement and dynamics between the United States and Mexico have created dangerous crossing conditions – and a lucrative market for smugglers – that makes it more difficult for family members to come and go, and visit each other.

What does this mean for US immigration policy moving forward?

If we want to create policies based on empirical economic and demographic realities, our leaders need to question prescriptions based on outdated data. Despite popular sound bites from the campaign trail, Mexican immigrants are not “pouring” over the border.

Responsible policy-making must reflect new realities. Otherwise, we will spend billions to build walls and deploy surveillance technologies to keep out people who are not coming – not to mention that these strategies have rarely worked.

Our tax dollars would be better spent integrating immigrants who are already here, managing refugees, filling shortages of less skilled workers and competing for talent on a global stage.

Spotted wing drosophilia: know thy enemy

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

This article will begin a series on different insect pests that target fruits and vegetables. One of the newest invasive insects we have seen in the area is Spotted Wing Drosophilia (SWD). If you are growing any soft fruits like raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, and even peaches, this pest can cause major problems during the growing season.

SWD is a vinegar fly or common fruit fly.

The male fly has a single, dark colored spot on the tip of its wing while the female has an oviposter/”saw like” apparatus to lay its eggs into fruit as it is ripening. The larvae feed on the flesh of the fruit causing soft spots leading to subsequently collapse.

From a grower standpoint, the berries might look perfect but a customer may bring them home where the larvae will hatch and the berries become inedible. SWD does not strictly target large planting of berries and brambles. If you are a homeowner with these crops, you can also have SWD in your backyard.

SWD typically appear at the end of June/ early July. It’s best to be on the lookout for

SWD by using a monitoring container.

A clear, plastic deli cup with holes that contains a mixture of yeast and sugar along with a sticky trap can help you determine if SWD are present. This monitoring kit though will not act as a trap for SWD. There are University guides to help you make these monitoring containers.

Cultural controls for SWD are to remove any overripe/bad berries as these can be breeding ground for SWD. Dogwoods, honeysuckle, and any wild blackberries can be host for SWD and should be removed nearby so that populations do not build up. You don’t want to compost these berries either as they will increase populations as well.

Once you’ve determined you have SWD, it’s best to have chemical control in mind and there are a number of options recommended for homeowners and growers.

Spotted Wing Drosophlia is a fairly new pest to the Midwest so recommendations change on a yearly basis. University of Illinois and others are continually determining the best practices. Resources and guides for SWD for the particular crop can also be found through university websites.

Tales From The Trough

DIVISION SPLIT Upcoming games

‘Hogs battle through tough weekend pair

By Todd Reicher Columnist

After a rocky week 12, the IceHogs earned a 2-1 record against rivals Chicago and Milwaukee.

Rockford’s first Divisional meeting of the week was on Wednesday, December 30 against the Chicago Wolves.

Rockford jumped out to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. It was the first time in six games that Rockford tallied the first goal.

Garrett Ross started the scoring with his fifth of the year, assisted by Vinnie Hinostroza and Jeremy Morin.

Two and one half minutes later, Hinostroza potted his third goal of the season, assisted by Morin and Ville Pokka to put Rockford up 2-0.

The second period started out the same way the first period ended – with Rockford putting points on the board. Ryan Haggerty, returning to the lineup after missing two months with an injury, scored his second goal of the season at 2:16 of the middle frame, extending Rockford’s lead to 3-0 and signaling the end of goaltender Pheonix Copley.

Chicago finally got on the board with 2:41 left in the second frame when Danny Kristo slid the puck past Mark Visentin, who was in for injured Michael Leighton, to cut the lead to 3-1.

With Rockford holding a 3-1 lead, Haggerty gave Rockford a little more cushion with his second of the game 5:06 into the final frame. Marko Dano dished to Jake Dowell who charged hard to the net and then fed Haggerty on the left side of the net for the quick goal, giving Rockford their second three-goal lead of the game.

Midway through the third period, Kristo struck once again to cut the lead again for the Wolves.

Major League Baseball

Breaking down the Sox prospects

By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

M

onday was “White Sox Day” over at Baseball America and with that came our first glance of a Top 10 prospects list from any major outlet ahead of the 2016 season. While several more will likely be coming soon, this provided us with our first opportunity to see where the farm system stands, in some respect, following a 2015 season with several promotions and an offseason that saw a few guys shipped away.

So let’s take a look at how BA ranked the Top 10 prospects in the White Sox organization: Tim Anderson SS Carson Fulmer, RHP Spencer Adams, RHP Trey Michalczewski, 3B Jacob May, OF Tyler Danish, RHP Adam Engel, OF Jordan Guerrero, LHP Courtney Hawkins, OF Corey Zangari, 1B

For comparison’s sake, here’s BA’s list in February 2015: Carlos Rodon, LHP Tim Anderson, SS Spencer Adams, RHP

Micah Johnson, 2B Francellis Montas, RHP Micker Adolfo, OF Tyler Danish, RHP Trey Michalczewski, 3B Courtney Hawkins, OF Jacob May, OF

There has been a significant amount of movement, most notably the graduation of Rodon to the majors and the trade that sent both Johnson and Montas to the Dodgers. While that trade brought back a significant major league contributor in Todd Frazier, it did rob the White Sox of organizational depth as while Johnson and Montas (as well as Trayce Thompson) aren’t projected for stardom, they are all guys you

could see contributing at the major league level in 2016 and/or beyond.

What the White Sox find themselves with now is a very top-heavy farm system. The positive side of this is that the top three (Anderson, Fulmer and Adams) all have a solid shot at finding themselves on most Top 100 Prospects lists as we get closer to the start of the season (definitely for Anderson and Fulmer, and possible for Adams). Anderson, for what it’s worth, will likely be in the Top 20-40 range depending on the list, and the White Sox haven’t had a positional prospect ranked as highly as him since … well, I don’t want to go there (it was Gordon Beckham).

The rest of the list is far from impressive, which is one of the reason’s BA’s Matt Eddy, in a chat Monday, said the White Sox currently have a bottom-third system.

That’s not to say the White Sox have been reckless in giving away prospects as they’ve certainly guilty of in the past. When moving guys like the aforementioned three who went to Los Angeles, they have been calculated moves that simultaneously aim to improve the currently club without sacrificing too much future value.

This is a welcome change from giving away valuable prospects for past-their-prime veterans.

(Royce Ring for Roberto Alomar always comes to mind, even though Ring didn’t pan out).

Likewise, the state of the White Sox’s farm system was in such disarray a few years ago — it wasn’t long ago that Addison Reed was the team’s top prospect — that a gradual increase in the team’s ranking (albeit with some fluctuation) coinciding with a gradual increase in the success at the major league level (TBD) is a step in the right direction.

The players in the 4-10 bring to mind a lot of skepticism and “really, him?” reactions. Michalczewski, for example, will be 21 at the start of this season and, per Friend of the Blog Mau Rubio, a prospect writer for 2080 Baseball, has the potential to develop power but will likely be a utility guy who can’t stick at third base.

Machalczewski, May, Engel and the rest of the Top 10 don’t exactly move the needle, but that’s expected when you’re looking at a team with a slowly improving farm system that is simultaneously trying to win games at the major league level.

The White Sox farm system rankings in 2016 aren’t as impressive as they were in 2015, but that downgrade coincides with what we expect to be an improved major league team in 2016.

And after all, that’s the point. The goal is to win the World Series. Not have the best farm system.

Top line performance found lacking

By Adam Hess Contributor

O

ne of the surprise struggles of this regular season for the Blackhawks has been the extreme lack of production from the team’s “top” line of Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, and whichever left wing happens

to be Joel Quenneville’s flavor of the day. It’s easy to say that the constant carousel of wingers can be blamed for the duo’s struggles, but they are players that should make their linemates better, not be dragged down by them.

While production isn’t the only valuable facet of either player’s game, the fact that they sit at a

combined 19 points in 5-on-5 play through 40 games is nothing short of an extreme disappointment. The duo combined for 98 5-on-5 points last year, and it doesn’t take a genius to do the math and tell you that they’re nowhere near that pace this year.

The cause of these struggles is another mystery. While they struggled a bit in terms of possession earlier in the season, they both still have respectable CorsiFor percentages, as Hossa sits at 53.55 percent and Toews at 52.74 percent, meaning that during their time on the ice, the Blackhawks have controlled that percentage of total shot attempts. So it’s not like they just don’t have the puck.

The biggest issue they’ve run into is, quite frankly, a long streak of very bad luck. Both players’ shooting percentages at 5-on-5 are at career lows, and by a huge margin.

Hossa’s 5-on-5 shooting percentage this season sits at 2.56 percent, which is more than half of his previous career low of 5.95 percent, which he had last season. Typically, though, Hossa’s shooting percentage has hovered

around 9 percent, especially during his Blackhawks career.

Toews’s 5-on-5 shooting percentage is 5.97 percent, which is nearly half of his previous career low of 11.02 percent in the 2009-10 season. He has been at or above 12 percent nearly every other year of his career, so sitting below 6 percent is a huge anomaly for the Chicago captain.

The beauty of these numbers is that they are just that: anomalies. History tells us that these players typically shoot at a much, much higher rate than they are currently, so we can trust that a market correction is coming, and in a big way.

Toews and Hossa are likely going to start finding the twine much more, and when they do it will be in a big way. As fans, we just have to hope that this happens sooner rather than later.

For Bears, all eyes turned to 2016

By Nate Johnson

W Columnist

ith a 24-20 home loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, another Bears season has come and gone. While the game saw some haunting habits return for Jay Cutler (three interceptions, the only game this season he threw more than one), the 6-10 finish didn’t seem as deflating as last season finished on the same note.

“Today was pretty much a microcosm of our season,” said head coach John Fox. Cutler kept the team in the game with two touchdown passes while playing without his top three targets, Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett, and Eddie Royal, and kicker Robbie Gould made both of his field goal attempts to set a new team record for successful kicks in a season despite having the roughest patch of his 11-year career.

Although bringing up the rear in the NFC North and missing the playoffs for the fifth straight season, hope for the future well outweighs futility. The new coaching staff dealt with injuries at a number of key positions, often rotating players between positions, and managed to keep a competitive team on the field that could have easily been in the playoff hunt if not for the five losses by less than four points.

“I have mixed emotions on the season,” GM Ryan Pace said at a press conference Monday. “The record is frustrating. The close losses are frustrating. Those can kind of give you some sleepless nights. But then when I think bigger picture, I’m excited about what we’ve got going here.”

Offensive coordinator Adam Gase got the most out of Cutler, who set a career high for QB rating at 92.3 and cut down his interceptions by eight over last season while dealing with an oft-injured receiving corps. Whether Gase returns this fall or takes a head coaching position with another team, it looks like he may have unlocked something in the erstwhile signal caller.

The 6-10 finish earned the Bears the 11th pick of this year’s NFL draft, but the team will technically have two first-round picks this

coming season as last year’s first-rounder, receiver Kevin White, expects to be healthy for pre-camp OTAs and finally make his debut with the team in the fall. Having the second-year rookie on the field would allow the team to focus their early picks on their other areas of need, foremost being linebackers and secondary help.

“I think we just need a couple of pieces,” Fox said. “We’re not real far. I know it looks like we are record-wise. But we’re really not. I think the core of our team is going to be with that group [in the locker room], and they understand it and know how to operate it.”

Other changes to the team could be the phasing out of some familiar faces. Running

back Matt Forte is at the end of his contract, and the combination of his age and the production of rookie Jeremy Langford will likely lead to him signing elsewhere. Jeffery is also a free agent, but the team could use their franchise tag to retain him if they’re confident he can come back healthy after missing seven games this year.

“I love the city of Chicago, but I’ll let my agent and Mr. Pace deal with that situation,” Jeffery said Monday. “I’ll let them deal with that. I just play football.”

That coaching staff could face a reconstruction for the second straight year, although head coach John Fox will remain atop the team. Gase has already been linked to four teams with head

coach openings, and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio could also be a candidate for a top spot after often making magic with a patchwork squad.

“Heading into the season I thought our coaching staff was a strength and I think that proved to be true,” Pace said. “Now it’s up to us to make the right personnel decisions this offseason and we need to add talent to our roster. We need to add more playmakers to help us finish close games and we’ll do that.”

“It’s speculative. I don’t want to start replacing (Gase) while he’s still here,” Fox said. “But we have a good plan in place and finding good quality coaches has never been a problem.”
