An Ohio woman on Tuesday filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Mylan Pharmaceuticals in an Ohio county court, claiming sharp price hikes for the company’s EpiPen device violated the state’s consumer protection law.

Mylan has raised the U.S. price of EpiPen, which is used to treat lifethreatening allergies, from less than $100 when it acquired the product in 2007 to more than $600, drawing criticism from parents, consumer groups and U.S. politicians.

EpiPen automatically injects a dose of the drug epinephrine into the thigh to counter dangerous allergic reactions such as to peanuts, food allergies and bee stings. It has a 94 percent share of the market for such auto-injector devices.

Tuesday’s lawsuit was filed in the Court of Common Pleas for Hamilton County, Ohio, by Cincinnati resident Linda Bates, whose son requires an EpiPen. A Mylan spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

“The outrageous, unconscionable and immoral high prices set by Defendant is nothing more than price gouging,” the complaint says.

It says the price increases violated the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, which prohibits “unconscionable” acts in connection with consumer transactions, including taking advantage of a consumer’s “physical infirmities.”

Bates is seeking to represent a class of individuals in Ohio who purchased EpiPens from 2007 the present.

New York’s attorney general said on Tuesday he is investigating whether Mylan violated antitrust laws in its contracts to provide EpiPens to some school systems.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Monday expressed concern about “credible reports” of Russian interference in the U.S. election and accused Donald Trump of being fixated on dictators including Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Taking questions from reporters for more than 20 minutes on her campaign plane, Clinton said both Democrats and Republicans should be concerned about Russia’s behavior.

“The fact that our intelligence professionals are now studying this and taking it seriously raises some grave questions about potential Russian interference with our electoral process,” Clinton said.

“We are facing a very serious concern.

We’ve never had a foreign adversarial power be already involved in our electoral process. ... We’ve never had the nominee of one of our major parties urging the Russians to hack more,” she said.

Trump, the Republican nominee, has praised Putin, the president of Russia, and has called on Moscow to dig up tens of thousands of “missing” emails from Clinton’s time as head of the U.S. State Department.

Clinton has previously tied Russian intelligence services to the cyber hack on the Democratic National Committee.

Goodbye Larry; it’s been nice

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

M

ayor Larry Morrissey finally announced last week what had come to feel inevitable: the 46-year-old would not be seeking a fourth term in next year’s mayoral election.

“Well, it’s pretty simple,” he told me in a phone interview Friday. “I’m not running for re-election next year.” And with that, months of swirling rumors went out the window.

It wasn’t exactly the best-kept secret in town by the time the release from his office calling a 3:30 Friday afternoon press conference at City Hall hit in boxes. Multiple sources had told this paper that Morrissey would forgo another shot at Rockford’s top seat, and the mayor’s campaign had not been in fundraising mode for sometime.

But even if he had come to terms with the decision months prior, Morrissey was still emotional describing his exit Friday and how he plans to handle the transition to the city’s new top executive.

“I love the job and I love the people I’ve been able to work with,” he said, “but I feel like the timing is right for someone else to move into the job.”

“There’s a mixture of sadness, but I feel very optimistic about the city’s future,” he added. “I’m not planning on endorsing any candidates right now, but I’ll be watching with interest as the campaigns unfold and that could change between now and the election.”

Reactions to the news were mixed, to say the least. Morrissey can still claim a number of supporters in the community but – as with anyone who’s been in such a job for so long – many felt the time for change was overdue. “Thank god,” said one Facebook commentator. “Best news I’ve heard in a long time!” exclaimed another.

But the old devil you know adage comes to mind. Morrissey was, like any other politician with hopes and promises on the public record, far from perfect, and we have the quips and notes and sound bytes to prove it.

But he was a competent leader in a city that has undergone drastic changes during his tenure. Could someone else have done better? Maybe. We don’t know, and that’s the dangerous game we now all get to play in selecting his successor next spring.

A 6 WEEK PROGRAM

Belgian water ski team visits again

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

Ready for some good news from Europe and the spirit of America right here on our own Rock River?

The Belgian Water Ski Team have visited the Ski Broncs in 2014 and again this year to utilize our team’s boats, equipment and facilities at Shorewood Park to prepare for the world tournament.

“The Ski Broncs are great and have welcomed us with open arms,” exclaimed Lieven Hardy, the Belgian team’s show director. His wife, Sabine, agreed, adding, “We only have to ask and we get it. We are so grateful to be here.”

The World Water Ski Show Tournament is this weekend, Sept. 9-11, at South Wood County Park, Red Sands Beach area of Lake Wazeecha in Wisconsin Rapids,Wisc.

This is the third world tournament the Belgian team has entered, with considerable challenges each time.

Sabine pointed out, “The Ski Broncs are a great help with finances, too. We don’t have the funds to rent boats and fuel them to practice. We just don’t have the equipment in Belgium to do this.”

Lieven said all 37 team members are from the Flemish, not French, part of Belgium, and they can only practice on parts of their full competition show because of the small lakes available to them back home.

“When we come here, we can do all of it,” he said.

They have a very strong work ethic, practicing all of Labor Day from early morning to almost dusk under very windy conditions with a high amountofholidayboattraffic,makingthewaters of the Rock River match the stream’s name.

Speaking of his team that ranges from 12-year-old skiers to 56-year-old boat drivers, Lieven was wistful but determined when asked how they placed in the last three world tournaments.

“Last place,” he said. “The first year we go, we learned incrementally. We find out how to get points; what we can and can’t do. Each year we have changed little things. Our people are getting better after two times. We have better skiers that have developed over four years. The younger (team members) have become older and better.”

One of the younger woman team members, Pia Sautter, said she loves “everything” about

water skiing: “That you are together with the team and everybody loves skiing.”

The theme for this year is a circus with appropriate costumes, and the theme last year was “Belgium Rocks”. Besides the ladies and gents skiing, each team has boat drivers, show directors, coordinators, sound techs and announcers.

Along with these elements, points are awarded for individual and team acts and spirit.

Competing against teams from the U.S., Canada, Australia and China is a serious matter for Lieven. “We didn’t see much of Rockford. We were skiing all the time,” he said. “I liked it, (but) it’s so hard to visit the city because you work hard all day and at night you’re in bed.”

But everyone needs to eat, and the Anderson family (Pickle, Sandy, Whitey and Jackie) hosted the team in the adjoining, spacious yards of their homes on the river.

The all-American fare of nachos, sloppy joes, hamburgers, brats, hot dogs, salad, chips, brownies and cookies was provided by the Ski Broncs concessions for the entire team,

plus 20 guests.

The team spirit and friendliness was very apparent, especially when it came to cheers for the group photos and singing along with the entertainment provided by “The Two Of Us,” Lorraine and Doug Janicke. The Belgians reacted to the duo’s playing of the Beatles’ Here Comes The Sun, by requesting the song Let It Be, which they sang along to enthusiastically.

“The Beatles are the international language,” commented Sandy Anderson.

Tom McKiski, a long-time Ski Broncs supporter and fundraiser, said, “These Belgian folks are so nice and hard working. They really have a challenge making it all work financially.

I can’t imagine what just their plane fare cost.

It would be great the next time they are here if a local restaurant would donate a fine dinner for them, and we could get local dignitaries to welcome them. There’s a lot to see in Rockford we are proud of.”

The Rock River Times wishes Belgium and Team U.S.A. the best of luck in Wisconsin and look forward to their next visit.

Bill backlog expected to hit $14B

Illinois’ unpaid bills are expected to reach $14 billion by summer 2017, according to a new report from Moody’s Investors Service.

Gov. Bruce Rauner and the General Assembly reached an agreement in June on a stopgap budget to fund state operations through the November elections. But the stopgap budget was a temporary measure to keep the state running; it was not a full budget and did not include structural or spending reforms.

Consequently, Moody’s has speculated the state will manage its mounting bills in its usual way: by borrowing money.

“Moody’s does not anticipate Illinois would suspend its statutory debt service requirements to continue funding operations,” spokesman David Jacobson said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “But if the bill pay-

ment backlog becomes sufficiently large, the state could resort to borrowing from debt service funds for operating needs. That or similar actions would signal a deterioration in Illinois’ credit position.”

A year-long impasse between Illinois’ Republican governor and Democrats who control the legislature left the state with an incomplete fiscal 2016 budget and only a six-month spending plan for fiscal 2017, which began on July 1.

A bipartisan legislative commission has projected the stopgap budget will push the state’s general fund deficit to a record $7.8 billion.

As a result, Illinois’ chronic pile of unpaid bills is likely to balloon to as much as $14 billion, surpassing a previous high of $10 billion in 2012, according to the credit rating agency.

Payments on Illinois’ approximately $26

billion of outstanding GO bonds have not been affected by the current political impasse.

The state, which Moody’s rates Baa2 with a negative outlook, already has the lowest general obligation credit ratings among the 50 states due to its struggles with a $111 billion unfunded pension liability, a structural budget deficit, and political gridlock.

The rating agency also noted that some of the $9.75 billion in cash balances the state had as of March 31 in nonoperating funds could be tapped for debt service on GO bonds.

Both sides of the budget battle in Springfield have said they will not revisit the state’s budget crisis until after the November elections. The temporary budget plan expires at the beginning of 2017.

–Staff & wire reports

Ballot item ensures road funds no longer diverted Illinois officials have been pulling money out of the state’s road tax revenue fund to pay for other state budget needs for quite some time.

However, voters now have the chance to put a stop to this practice through the November ballot.

Coined the “Lockbox Amendment,” the ballot measure establishes rigid rules mandating that money generated by transportation taxes will be used solely for transportation-related purposes, such as construction projects or paying outstanding debt on transit projects.

Taxes collected on Illinois roads – mostly through tolls, license fees and gas taxes – are supposed to be used only for road repairs, but those transportation-related funds have been used for other purposes.

In fact, the Transportation for Illinois Coalition, consisting of business groups and unions, estimates that since fiscal year 2003, more than $6.8 billion earmarked for transportation projects actually was spent elsewhere.

State Rep. Thomas Bennett, R-Gibson City, a member of the House Transportation, Regulations and Roads Committee, said such moves have compounded problems.

“Illinois has had extreme financial difficulty for the last couple of years, and we haven’t had a budget,” he said. “Along with that, our roads, bridges, etc., are continuing to suffer. There have been times where legislators tried to balance part of the budget by tapping into other funds, but all that did was create other problems.”

Bennett said the Lockbox Amendment’s time has come after a lack of fiscal discipline.

“The funds that go into that account are only to be used for those things it’s been designated for,” Bennett said. “We have to find ways to protect our roads. We have hot summers, cold winters, wind, snow, ice, all of these things that can wreak havoc on our roads. We have to make a point and reform all of this.”

Bennett said he has received positive feedback from constituents who have expressed support for the Lockbox Amendment.

“We, of course, receive calls about the roads and projects, but we have received several calls about this amendment, and they’ve all been unanimously in support of it,” he said.

Wet summer breaks 100-year-old state rainfall record Illinois’ heavy rainfall in the last two months has broken records over 100 years old.

July and August have seen record rainfalls in Illinois. The average totals in the months of July and August have ranged from 12 to 15 inches across the state.

State Climatologist Jim Angel says the rains are far past normal.

“We had a little over 13 inches for those two months combined and that’s about 5 inches

above normal. It beats the old record set back in 1915. So that record stood for a long time, and we really crashed through that in the last couple of weeks,” he said.

Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert says the rain will be good for yields, but difficult for farmers.

“It’s pretty tough to get the crop out of the ground, get it harvested, and to the marketplace,” he said. “Hopefully, it dries up, and

we’re able to get the crops harvested and to town, so we can replenish the checkbook, you might say.”

Angel adds that the above average humidities in August made living in the prairie state a little more uncomfortable. Southern Illinois got the brunt of the rains, averaging up to 15 inches in the two months. The northeastern corner of Illinois in Lake County was drier.

Interest in PV continues to grow

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

S

ince we co-founded the Illinois Renewable Energy Association (IREA) in 2000, we have witnessed tremendous growth in interest and development of solar PV. We came to renewable energy via our long standing interest in ecology. When we realized that widespread changes in native ecosystems were linked to the use of fossil fuels, we began promoting renewable energy.

In the late 1980s, we developed a solar electric education kit and used it in workshops throughout Illinois, North, Central and South America and Europe.

In 2001, IREA hosted the first PV workshop in Crystal Lake, encouraging people to support solar and homeowners to try their own installations. After the workshop, we decided to install our first system – a 1.5 kW set of amorphous panels. We asked Dave Merrill to install the system as he was the only local person providing the service.

Two years later we installed another 1.6 kW of Siemens polycrystalline panels on an old hog house. Last year, we added a 5.2 kW system, bringing our renewable energy systems to nearly 10 kW. To stimulate interest in rewewables, IREA offered the annual Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair and the annual tour of solar homes in which people are invited to visit homes with solar installations and speak with the owners. This year, the tour of solar homes will be held on October 1. As individual home systems were installed, we visited them, interviewed the owners, and

A PV class prepares to assemble a solar unit. Sonia Vogl

publicized them in our Rock River Times columns. We introduced Merrill to many of our contacts in the area, resulting in numerous installations. Since that time, he estimates that he has installed over 200 home PV systems. A recent article indicated that over 600 PV systems existed in the ComEd service area. If so, our efforts have had a significant impact.

Each spring and fall, IREA offers classes in solar electricity with a hands-on component that allows class members to lay out and mount solar panels and wire connections between them, the inverter, conduit, and breaker switches. They then plug the set of panels into the existing home system and watch it work. The next workshop will be held at IREA headquarters on September 24.

In 2006, the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF) began to fund small 1 kW systems on Illinois K-12 schools, marking a new level of support for renewable energy. We were involved with Eswood School in Lindenwood and

Tauer

Pecatonica Middle School, among the earliest. Now over 280 solar PV systems have been funded through their program.

Students learn about how solar electricity is made and how it is used. Some schools have reduced their electricity consumption based on the information. Since 2011, wind generators have also been funded.

During the early 2000s, Winnebago County established and funded Freedom Field, a demonstration project which would install different forms of renewable energy working together. The first was solar PV. Computer programs tracked production and progress.

The project was intended to interest the public in renewable energy and educate them about it so that they would make it part of their own lives. We were part of the effort for several years and watched it grow.

It now serves primarily to provide research and learning opportunities for Rock Valley College students.

From modest beginnings, solar energy has become an international phenomenon.

While impressive progress has been made, we still need much more renewable energy.

Adaptations to climate change impact long term crop yields

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – As the globe continues to spin toward a future with higher temperatures, crop yields will likely decrease if farmers do not adapt to new management or technology practices. Establishing new strategies is particularly difficult for sorghum farmers in West Africa where seed varieties and fertilizer are scarce, while drought and unpredictable rainfall are prevalent.

Using more heat-resistant sorghum varieties may yield the most benefits, research shows.

“Climate change will impact both natural and agricultural ecosystems on the planet.

The difference is that farmers can do things to adapt to the changing climate, and hopefully alleviate the impacts on their crops,” says Kaiyu Guan, an environmental scientist at the University of Illinois.

Guan and his colleagues conducted a research project modeling practices farmers could adopt, weighing them against climate change scenarios.

“We started with a long list of adaptation options, but we finally narrowed it down to five that we believe are more feasible options for the future and for the sorghum farmers in West Africa,” Guan says.

The team uses 30 years of historical precip-

itation and temperature data—from 1961 to 1990—as well as eight different scenarios to project future climate changes from 2031 to 2060. Drawing from a new schematic of crop yield response under historical/current and future climate developed by the co-author David Lobell from Stanford University, they were able to determine the impact on crop yield from five management practices.

A summary of the findings show: • Late sowing, or choosing a safer time to plant, did not show much benefit.

• Increasing seed density and using more fertilizer results in higher crop yield, with or without climate change.

• Changing the length of thermal time required for sorghum to grow results in a reduction in crop yield.

• Collecting rainfall to use during a dry spell will only marginally benefit crop yield with or without climate change.

• Using sorghum varieties that are more resilient to heat stress during the flowering period proves to have the most potential for greater crop yield with higher temperatures in the future.

Guan says this research confirms what previous studies have concluded. “If farmers don’t do anything about climate change in West

Africa, there will be a severe impact—a net loss in crop yield. We have to do something. We also discovered that most of the approaches are not as effective as what we expected.”

But, it’s the novel way the team uses well-validated crop models to address the specific research question for which Guan sees the most value in assessing the potential impacts of the five farm management strategies.

“Our goal is to quantify the impact of a specific proposed adaptation option to determine how effective each adaptation is,” Guan explains. “The new framework allows us to make those calculations so that the five adaptations in the eight climate change scenarios can be assessed against what the crop yield would be if no adaptations were initiated by farmers.”

Guan adds that this study provides detailed data for sorghum grown in the region of West Africa and a suggestion that the use of more heat-tolerant varieties of sorghum is the adaptation that will be most helpful. He believes this information will be useful to government agencies as they decide where to invest research dollars for adapting to climate change.

“People have said for a long time that some adaptation should be possible. But identifying which specific investments are most likely to help, and by how much, is still a pressing need,

especially given the billions of dollars now being earmarked for adaptation,” says Lobell.

Getting new heat-tolerant varieties to West African farmers could be the next challenge.

The current common practice is that farmers save seed from each year’s harvest and use the same variety over and over, Guan says. He suggests that perhaps government funding agencies or non-governmental organizations might be tapped to establish a way to distribute heat-tolerant sorghum varieties to these developing countries.

Education

Embattled for-profit ITT Tech closes its doors

By Casey Quinlan ThinkProgress.org

Embattled for-profit college company ITT Educational Services, Inc. is officially shutting down its academic services, the company announced on Tuesday. Most of the 8,000 employees working for the company’s for-profit college, ITT Technical Institutes — which has about 40,000 students attending around 130 campuses in 38 states — will lose their jobs.

The shuttering of the college comes as no surprise. Last week, ITT Tech stopped enrolling students at all of its campuses after the U.S. Department of Education prohibited the company from enrolling students who rely on federal student aid. And although this was the final nail in the coffin, ITT has been dealing with increasing scrutiny of its operations for years.

The company operated four campuses in Illinois: Arlington Heights, Oak Brook and Orland Park, all outside Chicago; and a Springfield location.

Last year, the department put ITT on the heightened cash monitoring list for filing its financial information late and the Securities and Exchange Commission announced fraud charges against two ITT executives. The SEC’s director of its division of enforcement, Andrew Ceresney, claimed that the executives “made numerous material misstatements and omis-

ITT Technical Institute’s Arlington Height’s campus, along with nearly 130 more across the country, shut its doors Tuesday in light of building criticism of the for-profit school system. ITT

sions in its disclosures to cover up the subpar performance of student loans programs that ITT created and guaranteed.”

Secretary of Education John King Jr. addressed surrounding federal loans used to attend ITT in a blog post Tuesday.

“If you are currently or were recently enrolled at ITT, you may be eligible to have your federal student loans for your program at ITT discharged,” King said. “Your federal loan debt will be wiped away and you will have the option of restarting your education somewhere new.”

In 2014, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau sued ITT for predatory student lending, arguing that the college encouraged

students to take out expensive private loans that they would most likely default on. And this year, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey sued ITT for misleading job placement rates.

In April, ITT’s accreditor, Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) — which was also under scrutiny for providing accreditation to so many for-profit colleges accused of perpetrating fraud against students — finally determined ITT was not under compliance with its standards for recruitment of students, job placement, and myriad other issues.

ITT is just one of a few for-profit college giants to come under this level of scrutiny from the department, attorneys general, and the CFPB. Many for-profit colleges are considered predatory because they take so much federal aid — often enrolling many veterans — while insufficiently preparing students for their fields. Students say they struggle to find jobs after graduation, and also say the career offices at these colleges end connections with them immediately after graduation and the schools misrepresent the job placement rates for graduates as they are being recruited.

The for-profit college chain Corinthian Colleges, for instance, shut down its campuses

in the spring of last year after receiving a $30 million fine from the department for its misleading job placement rates. One of its colleges claimed that a former student working at Taco Bell was actually working in the accounting field. Only days after, Education Management Corporation announced it would shut down 15 of its 52 Art Institutes campuses.

The company’s announcement raises the possibility of “other parties” pursuing legal recourse.

“We believe the government’s action was inappropriate and unconstitutional, however, with the ITT Technical Institutes ceasing operations, it will now likely rest on other parties to understand these reprehensible actions and to take action to attempt to prevent this from happening again,” the company stated in its press release.

Students who attended these colleges are pursuing student loan forgiveness and claiming they were the victims of fraud.

The department is addressing the issue of student loan forgiveness for for-profit college students who say their colleges committed fraud, allowing students of Corinthian Colleges to finally receive some relief, but it has been a slow process for students weighed down by debt and few job prospects.

Election 2016

State GOP efforts to end same-day voter registration

By Kira Lerner

ThinkProgress.org

As first-term Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed legislation that would have allowed the state to automatically register millions of voters, fellow state Republicans filed a lawsuit attempting to make it even more difficult for people to register to vote.

Illinois currently allows voters to register on Election Day in counties with populations of more than 100,000 people. Some polling places in smaller counties can get away without allowing same-day registration, as long as they allow the practice at the county’s main office or at polling places in larger population centers.

In a lawsuit filed in federal court last month, members of the state GOP claim that same-day registration shouldn’t be allowed because it’s “unfair” and “unequal” and favors Democratic candidates.

“This scheme’s arbitrary geographic discrimination appears to have been designed to benefit candidates who draw support from high-population counties at the expense of candidates who draw support from low-population

counties,” the complaint alleges.

The legal arm of the conservative Illinois Policy Institute filed the suit on behalf of Patrick Harlan, a Tea Party candidate running for the U.S. House of Representatives in northwestern Illinois, and the Crawford County Republican Central Committee, which helps elect GOP candidates in the southeastern part of the state.

Harlan alleges that same-day registration will hurt his chances of being elected.

Instead of expanding same-day registration to all polling locations in the 82 counties with fewer than 100,000 people, the suit asks for an injunction to stop the practice entirely before the 2016 general election.

Colleen Connell, executive director of the ACLU of Illinois, said in a statement that a change during a presidential election year would “leave thousands of people unable to vote.”

The practice in question was first used in Illinois in 2014, when the state established a pilot program to extend the registration “grace period” through Election Day. The program proved successful, so one month after the

election, the state legislation passed and former Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill making same-day registration a permanent feature in Illinois elections.

Fifteen states including Illinois currently offer same-day registration, and studies have shown that it increases voter turnout, reduces the need for provisional balloting, and helps to remedy inaccurate voter rolls, an issue plaguing many states given the high number of people who change addresses between elections.

Allowing voters to register on Election Day benefits geographically mobile, lower-income citizens and both young voters and voters of color. But because those populations tend to

lean more liberal, Republicans often claim that Election Day registration is a political tool to help Democrats win election.

Jacob Huebert, an attorney representing Harlan, told the AP that the intent of same-day registration is to “skew election results.”

“The purpose is obviously to boost Democratic turnout relative to Republican turnout,” he said.

Gov. Rauner who last month called automatic registration “injurious to our election system,” has given at least $500,000 to the legal arm of the organization that brought the lawsuit. Rauner won his seat in a typically blue state because of low voter turnout in urban areas like Chicago in 2014.

Business Sense

Give, purchase carefully following natural disasters

By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

N

atural disasters have been dominating headlines including storm damage left by Tropical Storm Hermine and extensive flooding in Louisiana, earthquakes in Italy and Myanmar, and wildfires in the western United States. These are tragedies and without fail, they bring out the best in people who immediately want to help.

However, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns, there is also the sad realization that for all the good that will be done, there are individuals who seek to profit by scamming those who are trying to help.

We see this happen during every national and international natural disaster and human crisis. We can’t stress enough, that it’s very important to take your time and do your research before donating to relief efforts.

Scam artists use sophisticated fundraising ideas and can often expertly imitate real nonprofits leading concerned individuals to donate to their fake operations. These charity scams take many forms, including emails containing links or attachments that direct users to phishing or malware-infected websites.

When they get a victim, social media-sav-

vy con artists can build on the victim’s mistake by making that person’s friends aware of the donations, the scammer then lulls new victims into trusting the fake charity that their friend supports.

Whether you are donating to help the flood and fire victims or those effected by the earthquakes the BBB suggest that donors keep in mind the following issues to help avoid questionable appeals for support: • On-the-ground presence. Find out if the charity has an on-the-ground presence in the impacted areas. See if the charity’s website clearly describes what the charity can do to address immediate needs.

• Direct aid or raising money for others.

Find out if the charity is providing direct aid or raising money for other groups. Some charities may be raising money to pass along to relief organizations. If so, you may want to consider “avoiding the middleman” and giving directly to those work in the region.

• Gifts of clothing, food or other in-kind donations. In-kind drives for food and clothing, while well intentioned, may not necessarily be the quickest way to help those in need – unless the organization has the staff and infrastructure to distribute such aid properly.

• Understand crowdfunding. Keep in

mind that some crowdfunding sites do very little vetting of individuals who decide to post for assistance after a disaster.

The BBB Wise Giving Alliance has a list of organizations helping victims of these disasters.

In the wake of the floods consumers also need to watch out for flood-damaged vehicles. The BBB advises while most auto dealers are legitimate, there are some unscrupulous businesses and individuals who may try to sell flood-damaged cars without revealing the vehicles’ true history.

In the months to come consumers need to exercise extra caution, especially when purchasing from individuals, or second-tier used car lots or social media sites such as Craigslist. To decrease chances of buying a flood-damaged car, follow these tips: • Deal only with reputable dealers – Check Business Grades of all dealers and

area businesses for free at ask.bbb.org or bbb.org/chicago.

• Check for musty or damp odors.

• New carpeting should be pulled back to check for mud, dirt and water stains.

• Look under the dash for dirt or mud.

• Check all electronic components – an early sign of damaged cars from flooding is often detected in the wiring.

Always have your next car checked by an auto technician to check for corrosion or other water damage signs. If a car sounds too good to be true – let the buyer beware and think about your recourse if there are problems.

2016 Crossroads Festival ‘a huge success’ VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY The 2016 Crossroads Blues Festival was a huge success. About 2,500 people attended and Lyran Park was rocking! We had six great acts that really thrilled the crowd. The Flaming Mudcats from New Zealand were spot on as they opened the day. Joanna Connor’s slide guitar set reminded fans how greats she is! The Ghost Town Blues Band got a huge reaction from the crowd with their music and performance. They marched in New Orleans style and they were on fire all afternoon.

The ever soulful and suave Tad Robinson and his band offered up stunning set of tunes ranging from suave and subdued to raucous and rocking. Headlining the event was the hot Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band who entertained the crowd with great music and antics. In between acts we had Birddog and Beck entertaining in the Pavilion which is Ken Olufs on harmonica and Warren Beck on keyboard. Dan Phelps sat in with them several times on guitar and cigar box guitar.

He was demonstrating the Hardtime Cigar Box Guitars throughout the day and Hardtime raffled off a pair of guitars to support our Blues in the Schools Program.

Our financial sponsors deserve a huge thank you for their assistance. The Rockford Area Arts Council was our Platinum Sponsor.

Thanks also for our Gold Sponsors Byron Bank; Woodman’s Markets; Intren Utility Solutions; and Thrivent Financial for their donations, along with our Silver Sponsors Joe and Jeanette Geraghty; Bill and Pamela Graw; Steve and Annette Jones; Jack Kozuszko and Bonnie Fox; Plumbers & Pipefitters U.A.

In Frame Chip the Chipmunk lives in Sinnissippi Park, and sat very still for his entire dinner. He was dining on an acorn from one of the park’s many oaks. He chews very fast.

Another very fast visitor escaped the camera, from a quick perch on the bandshell parking lot fence – a light green bird, complete with black wings which had small white stripes.

What was that? You never know what you’ll see in the city’s oldest park overlooking the Rock River. I saw a white fox there once. Everyone tells me the foxes have left or have been removed from Greenwood Cemetery, where they could be seen dancing at dusk. How do we know? Zounds of wrascally waaaabbits hopping in and out of gardens, and even hopping in front of cars that can’t avoid them; there are so many in the Edgewater Neighborhood. Frank Schier

monica Beverages, and The Blackhawk Trails Lodge also provided service. Our thanks go to the many volunteers from Crossroads and the Lyran Society who helped make this event a huge success!

While the day was fantastic, the one item that concerned me was the lack of coverage of the event itself by the traditional media sources. No TV crews came out and there was no newspaper coverage. It seems that unless an event has the sanctioning of one the City/Town Halls, Park Districts, and/or the Metro Center/Coronado that there is little coverage by Rockford’s big media sources. As a non-profit that has conducted 180 music programs in area schools in the past 14 years for over 50,000 students which has cost over $50,000 to conduct, one would think that our events might warrant coverage. But aside from that, we did get the word out in advance, which got us a great crowd.

Next year the 8th Annual Crossroads Blues Festival will again be held at Lyran Park. We thank the Lyran Society for providing a great location for the festival and we hope to see an even larger crowd there on August 26, 2017!

Catching up with Ript’s Serrano

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Rockford Rocked Interview: Hi Ian and good morning.

Ian Serrano: Good morning to you as well.

RRI: Let’s dig right into it shall we? In a previous conversation you told me you have always had a passion for music. Who or what inspired you to become a singer in a rock band?

IS: I really didn’t figure out that I wanted to be a musician, until I was well into my 20s. Hell, I wanted to be a big league baseball player first off. When that didn’t pan out, I tried school. Couldn’t find my niche. I had a friend back home in Maine who had all these Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath albums that we used to sing along with. As far as influences, growing up there was Elvis, The Beatles, Three Dog Night, etc. Music that made you want to move your feet. When you’re a lonely, hyper-active 7-year-old boy it became a release of sorts. I spent a lot of time sitting in front of the record player with my 45 rpm records.

RRI: You’re originally from Presque Isle, Maine. What made you think coming to Rockford would be a good idea?

IS: It was a friend who lured me here to Rockford with the promise of loads of bands to join. After arriving in Illinois in 1986, it took most of that year just to get my bearings straight. Rockford Isn’t that big to the locals, but for me it was Metropolis.

I got a job as a local DJ, spinning tunes in bars and bowling alleys. I had never been involved in live music before, other than church choir, so I wasn’t really sure how to go about it. A friend of a friend helped me get a foot in with a local band here in the area. I just kind of needed to step up and show them what I could do from there.

RRI: Who were some of the bands that you played with here in Rockford early on?

IS: I was in several different rock/metal bands from 1986-1988. There was Rose, Mirrored Image and Midnite Angel. They were all cover bands and I was still trying to find my voice.

RRI: You took vocal lessons from the great Ralph Nielsen early on. What was that like?

IS: A friend (Jim McDowell) suggested taking voice lessons from Ralph. The Music Box Gift Shop was right across the street from the bar I DJed at so it was very convenient (laughs). Little did I know the impact Ralph would have on my vocal future. Even today, I still hear his training advice in my head at times while singing.

RRI: What do you remember the music scene here in Rockford being like during that time?

IS: The music scene was exciting, fun, hectic, sexy, dirty and very dangerous at times (laughs)! The screaming riffs and booming bass drums would rattle your brain when we played live. Crazy fans in the front row screaming your name is something you don’t really forget. Smoky bars and drunk girls too.

I don’t really remember there being a lot of rivalry between the local bands. Not to say we didn’t have our moments.

RRI: Do you remember the first song you ever wrote by yourself?

IS: I can’t remember but there have been hundreds since then. My latest one is called ‘Let It All Hang Out’.

RRI: You eventually joined the Rockford band Ript who were already established as one of the premier rock bands in the area.

There was even speculation of the band being on the edge of a record deal at one point.

What happened?

IS: Yes, from 1988-1994 we played relentlessly and worked very hard to get where we were at. In 1994 when we came off the road we were going to take a break and then hit the studio. That was the plan. As far as our live show went in my opinion we were ready for arena tours. But then our drummer (Wally) had a wicked health scare and went down for awhile. One of our guitar players (Greg DeCarlo) had already left the band and things had changed. After a few months it just kind of unraveled. Shortly after that I received an offer to go to Florida with a band from Chicago called Dogjaw so I did.

Looking back, who knows what woulda, shoulda, coulda happened. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains were big and grunge was king. Ript was leather, tattoos, screw you, party, get laid, etc. Ript didn’t fit the mold. We missed our window.

RRI: You got involved in acting a bit a couple of years ago. What was that all about?

IS: The acting was a bit of a farce. My solo label was attached to a production company who did “B”movies. Nothing impressive.

Fun. Very fun to do. But pretty cheesy. My daughters Gracie and Skylar were involved as well. The movie was called Jezebeth 2 if anyone is interested.

RRI: I understand you have a new band that seems to be turning some heads around the area lately.

IS: Yeah, I’m working on a couple projects right now. One is a grunge-cover band called Jam Pilots. It’s a tribute to the ‘90s rock scene. The next project is an all original show called Boneshaker. I’m very proud of this project. We have taken several song that I’ve written over the years on acoustic guitar and put some meat on them so to speak. Pretty heavy at times, but very melodic with scorching solos.

It’s hard rock, metal, grunge and blues all rolled into one. Anyone who enjoyed Ript is gonna love this. In your face and real.

Not done yet In another newly discovered song, Woody Guthrie continues his assault on ‘Old Man Trump’

By Will Kaufman The Conversation

E

arlier this year, I wrote about a cache of bitter writings by Woody Guthrie that I had discovered while conducting research for a book on the balladeer.

The invectives were directed against a man Guthrie had dubbed his “worst enemy”: Fred C. Trump, the landlord of the Beach Haven apartment complex in Brooklyn, where the Guthrie family lived from 1950 to 1952.

Guthrie especially loathed the housing project’s de facto color line. (“Beach Haven looks like heaven / Where no black ones come to roam! / No, no no! Old Man Trump! Old Beach Haven ain’t my home!”)

This summer, Judy Bell – for 50 years the indefatigable custodian of Guthrie’s songs at TRO-Essex music publishers – told me she had found in her files a typewritten lyric sheet of Guthrie’s. Yet another broadside fired at Donald Trump’s father, the discovery comes on the heels of a recent in-depth New York Times article that details the “long history of racial bias” at the properties developed and owned by Trump Management.

‘Trump made a tramp out of me’

Like so many memorable folk songs, Guthrie’s seven-verse diatribe is unashamedly simple, repetitive and formulaic. It describes the songwriter’s outrage over the exploitative rents charged at a publicly funded housing project meant for war veterans like himself: Mister Trump made a tramp out of me; Mister Trump has made a tramp out of me; Paid him alla my bonds and savin’s To move into his Beach Haven; Yes, Trump has made a tramp out of me.

Guthrie was spot on about Fred Trump’s profiteering. He may have been shy about the details: the millions Trump earned from rental payments; his squirreling away five percent of Beach Haven’s development cost; the US$3.7 million worth of borrowed, unnecessary Federal building funds that had been earmarked for construction. But Guthrie instinctively knew that a raw deal was being played out at Beach Haven.

His song reflects, too, what the popular music scholar Edward Comentale has called Guthrie’s “rambing, funny streak”: a highly self-conscious and stylized rhetoric characterized by “an embrace of poverty and even dereliction in

opposition to the structures of pride and power.”

Well, well, Trump, you made a tramp out of me; Well, well, Trump, you made a tramp out of me; You charge me so much it just ain’t human, I’ve got to try to live with president Truman; Yess, Trump, you made a tramp out of me.

Finally, it conveys something much more sobering. It offers a glimpse into the mind of a man who had received a chilling diagnosis from doctors at Brooklyn State Hospital on September 3, 1952, while still living at Beach Haven: “PSYCHOSIS ASSOCIATED WITH ORGANIC CHANGES IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM WITH HUNTINGTON’S CHOREA.” At last there was an explanation for what had been a pattern of frightening and disorienting behavior in Guthrie: constant dizziness, which he and others had been mistaking for alcoholism; sudden, uncharacteristic outbursts of verbal and physical violence; a heightened, often embarrassing sexual disinhibition; and the gradual twisting and warping of his writings – what his biographer Joe Klein calls a “linguistic anarchy” that “extended even to his address (Beach Haven became ‘Bitch Heaven’ in ‘New Jerk Titty’).”

The Beach Haven period, which had proved so hopeful at its outset (with more living space for the family, some modest royalties for Guthrie’s songwriting, and an opportunity for his wife Marjorie to open a school of modern dance), ended after two years with the breakup of Guthrie’s marriage and alternating episodes of hospitalization, incarceration and drifting.

Beach Haven: A Jim Crow town

Clearly, it was not Fred Trump who had “made a tramp” out of Guthrie. Yet equally clearly, Guthrie came to associate the name “Trump” with dispossession.

Even as he was being dispossessed of his own neurological and expressive faculties, he wrote from “Witchy Haven” to his close friend, activist and Klan infiltrator Stetson Kennedy, of “Mr Old Man Trump” and “his little pack of pets” preventing him from doing “one single ounce of work to nail or to build or to fix up the joint.”

And he wrote of something even worse: Fred Trump’s “color line”: “In addition to not being able to enjoy one single day of normal or natural life in Mr Trumps project of buildings here on acct of about ninety and nine clauses in his damnable old tenant’s contract, I find out that

I’m dwelling in the deadly center of a jimcrow town where no negroid families yet are allowed to move in and to live freelike.”

Guthrie lamented that he and his wife were forced to raise their children “under the skullyboned stink and dank of racial hate, jimmycrack Krow.”

Hence Guthrie’s parting shot at his landlord: Humm humm, Trump, you made a tramp out of me; Hummm, humm, Trump, you made a tramp out of me; You robbed my wife and robbed my kids, Made me stay drunk and to hit the skids; Yepsir, Trump, you made a tramp out of me.

In late September of 1952, Guthrie hit the road alone, to California, partly to come to terms with the reality of his diagnosis. Marjorie was left to apply to Trump’s office with a request to suspend their lease. After receiving no reply, she wrote to Trump’s Beach Haven agent on December 4, 1952: “My husband after months of hospitalization and examination was declared incurable and is suffering from a fatal disease known as Huntingtons Chorea. We have three small children and since I now know that I alone will be responsible for them I feel it would be impossible for me to continue living in my apartment whose rental now becomes quite a hardship…. I believe I should be out within a week.”

To date, the archives have yielded no evidence of a reply, sympathetic or otherwise.

Soon Marjorie and her three children – Arlo, Joady and Nora – left Beach Haven and moved to Howard Beach, Queens.

Guthrie’s lyrics resonate today It is not surprising that Guthrie’s Beach Haven writings should have attracted so much attention in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. Some historical clarification is now in

order. Journalist David Cay Johnston, for instance, writes in his new book “The Making of Donald Trump” that Guthrie “set his thoughts about Trump’s rental policies to a song he titled ‘Old Man Trump.’”

In fact, Guthrie never wrote a song called “Old Man Trump.” The song of that name, recently published and recorded by Ryan Harvey, Tom Morello and Ani DiFranco, is an amalgamation crafted by Harvey of verse fragments drawn from three separate archival sources (first published in The Conversation in January). Nor did Guthrie use the phrase “Trump’s tower,” as Harvey and his colleagues sing it; Harvey has explained it was his decision “to throw in a present tense reference.”

Guthrie’s Beach Haven writings have emerged at a time when his publishers, TRO-Essex, in partnership with the Woody Guthrie estate, are battling over the copyright to Guthrie’s most celebrated anthem, “This Land Is Your Land.”

As Nora Guthrie has explained, “Our control of this song has nothing to do with financial gain…. It has to do with protecting it from Donald Trump, protecting it from the Ku Klux Klan, protecting it from all the evil forces out there.”

Trump has a healthy track record in appropriating unauthorized songs for his campaign, much to their composers’ outrage. But looking beyond the current campaign: If the Beach Haven writings are anything to go by, should we ever hear “This Land Is Your Land” pumped into the elevators of Trump Tower or in the clubhouses of Trump’s golf courses, there is no scientific instrument that could measure the velocity of Woody Guthrie spinning in his grave.

Will Kaufman is the author of the first political biography of Woody Guthrie – “Woody Guthrie, American Radical” (Illinois, 2015).

Hometown Habitat: Stories of Bringing Nature Home - Wild Ones Rock River Valley Chapter presentation at Rock Valley College, 3301 N. Mulford Road, in room PEC0110, lower level. Presentation begins at 7 p.m. Join us for a viewing of the recently released 90-minute video produced by Catherine Zimmerman. Hometown Habitat features renowned entomologist Dr. Douglas Tallamy, whose research, books, and lectures on the use of non-native plants in landscaping, sound the alarm about habitat and species loss. Tallamy provides the narrative thread that challenges the notion that humans are here and nature is someplace else.

“It doesn’t have to, and shouldn’t be that way.” Inspiring stories of community commitment to conservation landscaping illustrate Tallamy’s vision by showing how humans and nature can co-exist with mutual benefits. The message: All of us have the power to support habitat for wildlife and bring natural beauty to our patch of the earth. The goal: Build a new army of habitat heroes, For more information about the video, go to themeadowproject. com. This program is free and open to the public. Come early and browse the library, merchandise, and refreshment tables. For further information call (815) 332.3343 or visit our website at wildonesrrvc.com.

Commentary

By Leo M. Lambert & Peter Felten The Conversation

O

ver the last several weeks 18.4 million students headed to colleges and universities in the United States. They, their families and taxpayers are making a monumental investment in the futures of these students, believing, correctly, that an undergraduate education is foundational to success in a global and knowledge-based economy.

Many students arrive in college without a clear sense of purpose or direction.

That is to be expected. A significant part of the undergraduate experience, after all, involves grappling with big questions about professional, personal and civic identity.

Who am I? What do I want to do with my life? How can I contribute to my community and the world? The best students pursue these questions with vigor.

But many others come to college with too little appreciation for the vast opportunities before them, gloss over foundational curricular requirements as merely hurdles to be cleared, show far too little drive in developing a plan to make the most of their educations and focus too heavily on the party scene.

Analyzing data from a study of more than two dozen institutions, sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa conclude that many students “enter college with attitudes, norms, values, and behaviors that are often at odds with academic commitment.”

And many universities reinforce these beliefs by building lavish amenities and marketing themselves as something akin to a resort with a curriculum.

An undergraduate education is simply too precious an opportunity to squander or to approach halfheartedly. And while college should ultimately prepare graduates to make a living, it can be – it must be – far more than that.

The good news is that there are simple yet powerful things students can do to ensure that they have a transformative undergraduate experience, no matter where they go to college.

In our book “The Undergraduate Experience,” drawing on decades of work and scholarship in higher education and also interviews with leaders and students from many institutions, we identified what matters First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Making college matter most for students.

Two factors are most important.

Take responsibility for learning

Too often students (and others) think learning is a simple process of taking knowledge from the professor during class and then returning it, unharmed, on the test.

When sociologist Mary Grigsby interviewed scores of undergraduates at a large midwestern university, many students echoed the words of one who told her: “I hate classes with a lot of reading that is tested on. Any class where a teacher is just gonna give us notes and a worksheet or something like that is better. Something that I can study and just learn from in five [minutes] I’ll usually do pretty good in.”

Real learning – that is, learning that makes a significant and lasting change in what a person knows or can do – emerges from what the student, not the professor, does. Of course, professors are critical actors in the process, but students are the ones doing the learning.

To take responsibility for their own learning, students need to move past what psychologist David Perkins has called possessive and performative understandings of knowledge, where learning is about acquiring new facts or demonstrating expertise in classroom settings.

Instead, meaningful learning emerges from a proactive conception of knowledge, where the student’s goal is to experiment with new and unexpected ways of using what he or she is learning in different settings. This requires students to see themselves as the central actors in the drama of learning.

Whether students choose to take the stage or sit in the balcony matters immensely.

When students jump into learning, challenging themselves to stretch and grow, college is most powerful.

Reflections from an Ohio University engineering student show what this looks like: “[My goal for my senior] year was to try to do things that maybe I’m not good at already so that I can learn to do these things. I will have to do this once I have a job so avoiding projects that are uncomfortable for me now won’t help me NOT avoid them when I’m a part of the work force.”

Develop meaningful relationships

The relationships students form in college also have a profound influence on their experiences, shaping not only who they spend

time with but how they will spend their time.

When scholars asked graduates at Hamilton College to think back on their undergraduate years, these alumni pointed to specific individuals (often professors, coaches or classmates) who shaped their paths.

Students typically think first about relationships with peers. These are essential, of course. Finding friends and cohort groups can be reassuring, but scholars have found that students who interact frequently with peers who are different in significant ways (racially, ethnically, religiously, socioeconomically and so on) show more intellectual and social growth in college than those who don’t.

Again, as with learning, students need to move beyond the familiar to find meaning.

And peer relationships are not only about fun. Decades of research have demonstrated that students who study together learn more and more deeply. As the mathematician Uri Treisman reported in a classic study of undergraduate calculus courses that has been replicated in other disciplines, students from many different backgrounds are more academically successful when they “work with their peers to create for themselves a community based on shared intellectual interests and common professional aims.”

Relationships with faculty also are highly significant.

A large 2014 survey by Gallup and Purdue University revealed that college graduates who believed they had a professor who (1) cared about them as individuals, (2) made them excited about learning and (3) encouraged them to pursue their dreams reported being far happier and more successful than their peers years after graduation.

A recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s Levine Scholars Program, a prestigious scholarship for academically talented students interested in civic engagement, told us how the mentoring of sociologist Diane Zablotsky transformed her view of herself: “I arrived at UNC-C shy and uncertain. But Dr. Zablotsky taught me how to go and get what I wanted. She made me do all the work, but coached along the way and helped me develop great confidence in myself.”

What matters for all students

Critically, what we’re describing here doesn’t apply only to privileged, 18-22-yearolds at elite institutions.

In fact, Ashley Finley and Tia Brown McNair, scholars at the Association of American

Colleges and Universities, have shown that high-impact educational experiences like internships, undergraduate research, capstone courses and study abroad have particularly positive outcomes for students who traditionally have been underserved in American higher education.

A study at the University of California, Davis reinforces this finding by demonstrating that engaging in mentored undergraduate research beyond the typical requirements for biology courses is particularly significant in preparing African-American undergraduates to successfully pursue graduate study and careers in the sciences.

Results from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) also show that institutional prestige and financial resources do not determine the quality of student opportunities: “Institutions with lower selectivity profiles can and often do offer experiences with faculty that are at least comparable to those at more selective institutions.”

As the NSSE director notes: “Doing those things may not cost any more than not doing them.”

Powerful education, in other words, is available to all students at all institutions, if they intentionally choose experiences that are challenging and relationship-rich.

Acting on what matters most Douglas Spencer, a 2016 Elon University graduate and now young alumnus trustee, captured what’s at stake in recent remarks to fellow students.

Doug described coming to campus without a strong sense of who he was as a black man or of what he might do with his life.

Then, challenged by friends and professors to think more deeply about his own identity, “I unlocked some sort of hidden energy I did not know I possessed.” He began to read not just for class, but (even more) in his free time. Inspired by this reading and his other studies, and echoing W.E.B. Du Bois, “It became clear to me that the only way I would find real success was if I learned to thrive in times of uncertainty.”

Colleges and universities play an outsized role in shaping the lives of individual students like Doug.

Indeed, we, as educators, cannot recall a time when it mattered more for higher education to cultivate students capable of acting entrepreneurially, ethically, cooperatively and creatively to address complex problems in local, national and global contexts.

That starts with students beginning the academic year ready to act on what matters most for their own learning.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: As we begin to adjust to Mercury retrograde, let’s utilize this week and allow it to work to our advantage. Anything that you may have desired in the past, such as a romantic connection or a career advancement that just didn’t line up, take another crack at it. You’ll find that Mercury retrograde will support a repeat opportunity with a fresh set of eyes.

Bench that ego and go back at it. You’ll have the upper hand. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Make connections with those of like mind and heart this week. Your attitude will improve when you allow a little bit of humor to shake things up a bit. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Promise yourself a night out on the town or an elegant lunch to balance your overly booked schedule. By week’s end, a hidden influence comes to light, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— It’s best to reserve your judgments until you have all of the information at hand. Bits and pieces of information are only half truths and the timing of some of these supposed events are just not lining up. Romance takes a turn for the better by week’s end. Put your best foot forward. All eyes are on you, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A person from your past may be reaching out to acknowledge your efforts at this time. Try not to complicate this matter by looking for the hidden motive, there may not be one involved in this situation at all. Take information you receive this week and set it aside for a later date; there will be more to the story by month’s end, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Annoying distractions may cloud your judgment early this week. You can’t please all of the people all of the time, so set your priorities and stick to them. A letter or long-distance phone call brings unexpected news. A long-overdue payment will arrive at week’s end. Don’t spend it all in one place, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — A burden that has been weighing heavily on your heart will lift this week. Solutions will arrive to clear the air. With this in motion try not to hang on to this old element. Let it go once and for all. This will only get in your way of future success. Midweek a secret admirer reveals themselves to you in an unexpected way. Investigate further options with this individual, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — News of a health matter regarding a family member could be a bit disturbing. You can offer up emotional support, but do not offer financial support with this situation. Travel plans are in the works at this time, do not allow a nosy

female to interrupt your schedule. You don’t have time for all of the drama that they may want to bring into the mix. Try not to offer any more information than you need to at this time, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — You’re narrowing down your options to the best case scenario now. So many opportunities have been presented over the past few months; this may have made it difficult to decide which way to go. The signs are all pointing to one favorable aspect now, providing the clarity you need to make the choice. The weekend allows time to cozy up with a loved one and enjoy your home environment, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You may feel as though you’re in a deadlock early on this week. If things appear to be boring or monotonous, understand that you are right where you need to be at this time. An opportunity for career advancement is in the air during this lunar cycle. Keep your ear to the ground and follow up on every lead. It will all make sense in the weeks to come, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — A new form of revenue will be available during this lunar cycle if you follow up on your goals, dreams and ambitions. It’s time to let go of something or someone that doesn’t honor your value. Change can be difficult, but in this case it’s necessary. Romantic options appear to be at a stalemate for single Sags. Trust that the universe knows what it’s doing. The right connection will arrive in the months to come, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Try not to take the odd behavior of another personally at this time. This has nothing to do with you, and if you make it about you it certainly will turn into an issue in real time. Midweek allows new business or ca-

reer opportunities to come into view. Take advantage of these aspects and strike while the iron is hot. You’re ahead of the game by week’s end, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Make room for those who are trying to find a place in your life. Although you may be apprehensive because of past situations with people, you may end up losing out on a rare opportunity in the months to come.

Concerns about the health and welfare of an older female may be weighing on your mind this week. Take the time to pick up the phone and check in, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — A chance meeting with a female opens doors for career and new social contacts this week. Follow up with invitations to connect with like minds and positive influences. A phone call from far away provides unexpected news; you may need to travel shortly as a result of this. Stay caught up with mundane tasks so that emotional pressure doesn’t get the best of you at this time, Pisces.

st nd rd 1 •2 •3 Shift M THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs.

Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay.

Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability.

Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline.

Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills. current standers are over 20 years old and we need Building Lives • BuildingOur Futures additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills.

Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Shutting down the summer garden

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

As you end your garden season, you need to think about how you will be cleaning it up.

Cleaning up the garden is an important step that will lead to a better season next year.

If you keep dead and decaying plants in your garden, diseases can spread and overwinter in your soil. Weeds will go to seed and be added to the soil to germinate next year.

Any tools you used this season should be cleaned before storing away.

It’s still possible to plant a cover crop. Cover crops are those crops grown to address your soil needs or prevent weed populations from building up. While most needed to have been planted in mid-August, wheat and rye can still put on a lot of growth into the fall and winter. Both rye and wheat assist the soil by scavenging for nutrients, adding biomass, and outcompeting weeds. Even small plantings can do a lot of good for your garden for next season.

The fall is an appropriate time to focus on soil management. I recommend getting a soil test in the fall as you may need to raise or

lower the pH which can take several months to do so. Soil building can begin in the fall too. You can add organic materials like compost and manure that will break down and add to the overall soil organic matter.

Your leftover green material might be useful for adding to a compost bin or even beginning a compost bin. Since you have green materials like plant debris and brown materials like leaves, you can set up your system. A general rule for these materials is to alternate between 2 parts brown to 1 part green. There are many guides available to get you started with composting.

As you close your garden down for the winter, consider plans for crops you want to grow next year. Mapping out crop rotation plans for next season can be beneficial right now as you remember what you grew and where you grew it. It’s never too early to start planning for your 2017 garden.

Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

dish I remember the disgusted owner of the Irish Rose Mike Leifheit ranting about: “They just put a lot of cheese on everything. They drown it in cheese.

It’s awful.” And remember, in 1818 the proposed Wisconsin/Illinois border was at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. We could be in Wisconsin cheesing it up, but the Dearly Departed Sisters were a little more continental.

Voices from the Grave

Remembering one of Rockford’s finest T

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

here is a saying that life can change in an instant. This story is definite proof of that. In 1972, Charles J. Williams must have felt that he was a lucky man. Just 28-years-old, he was married to a lovely woman named Mary and had two children; Suzanne Marie, who was 2-and-a-half years old, and Jeffrey Allen, who was just 6 months old. Charles’ parents didn’t live in Rockford but were still close enough that he could help his father with the family farm in Apple River.

Charles graduated from Warren High School in 1962 and joined the service. He served his country in two tours in Vietnam.

Charles was seriously injured during his service and his father worried about him while he was so far away.

In fact, his father was still worried about him and felt that Charles had traded one danger for another since he had become a Rockford Police Officer. Charles’ father and his wife Mary would both beg him to be careful when he left for work. Charles would flash his big grin that he was known for and say, “Nothing is going to happen to me.”

Charles couldn’t know that his luck was about to run out and that one instant would change his family’s lives forever.

On May 31, 1972, Charles left to meet his partner, David Henrekin. They both loved being policemen. David would later state that they

very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city.

“The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifacts.

“The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.”

This week, we look at the first county fair and the town’s early printed press.

were more like brothers than partners.

The two officers were on patrol and they were sent to Forest Avenue for a call when the received another one sending them to the Lantow Drug Store on 7th Street. They had just been Williams advised it was an armed robbery when they spotted a car that matched the description given over the radio.

Charles stepped from the car to approach the suspect’s car while David picked up the radio. One man walked toward Charles as the radio squawked out the description of the man involved in the robbery report. David looked down for an instant at the radio to turn the sound down. When he looked back up the suspect had drawn a revolver and was pointing it at Charles.

When David saw Charles start to move right he thought he must be diving out of the way so that David could return fire. That is when David heard the gunfire. The suspect fired four times and David returned fire. David saw Charles on the ground and gave chase to the fleeing suspect.

David lost the suspect in the West State and Waldo Street area. By the time he returned to the scene, policemen were rushing to the area to assist him. Charles was sent to the hospital as police began their manhunt. They recovered what would later prove to be the weapon that

was used to shoot Charles from a front yard on Forest Avenue.

Police began questioning everyone. They were given a tip about a man holed up in an apartment on South Main Street. When they arrived, they arrested 22-year-old Leon G. West.

Shortly after the arrest of West, Charles’ was pronounced dead at 12:33 a.m. on Thursday, June 1.

Charles J. Williams’ funeral was held at the Apple River Methodist Church and he was buried at Warren Cemetery. Over 1,000 people attended the services including over 200 police Officers from the Rockford Police Department.

Other policeman and state troopers from as far away as Chicago and Indiana attended.

Newspapers would later report that his lovely wife, Mary, remained stoic until the part of the ceremony when she was presented with the American flag that was once draped over her husband’s casket. Her sobs echoed along with the sounds of the song Taps across the little cemetery.

At the trial in November 1972, it was brought out that Leon West was on parole for a former armed robbery conviction when he shot Charles. West was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 100 years in prison.

The people of Rockford showed their appreciation for Charles’ sacrifice and support for his family by donating $30,000 in his memory.

Hopefully, Mary and Charles’ parents could take comfort that all the men who served with Charles would later describe him as one of the

best men they ever knew.

••• Charles J. Williams is one of the fallen officers that will be honored by the 911 First Responders Memorial at West State Street and Kilburn Avenue. The memorial completion and grand opening ceremony will be held this Sunday at 8:30 a.m. at 650 West State Street at the west end of the parking lot. The public is invited to this momentous occasion.

This event will mark the 15th Anniversary of 9/11. This special memorial will honor emergency responders from Winnebago County who have fallen in the line of duty and all who sacrificed on September 11, 2001. Three bronze statues will be unveiled and dedicated and the memorial will contain some of the steel girders from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey from the World Trade Center.

Other officers that will be honored include fallen officers from the Winnebago County Sheriff Department, Rockford Police Officers and Firemen, and the lost members of the 2012 REACT Helicopter Crew.

The Rockford Historical Society will also be there with a table with information about some of the fallen officers supplied by local historian, Kathi Kresol.

Please visit the website at win911.org/memorial.asp. Donations to this memorial can be made at win911.org/support.asp.

The irrationally efficient madness of Chris Sale

Holding back his best fastball for innings or even games on end, forgoing his bloodlust for strikeouts, and even excluding his backbreaking changeup have all been confusing or downright aggravating foibles of his 2016 season.

And by the time Sale had staggered to a 5.24 ERA over his last seven starts of the first half, capped off by an eight-run, three-homer demolition at the hands of the hapless Braves, his plan to conserve strength for the stretch run looked like a flat-out mistake.

“I’m looking for efficiency,” Sale told Sports Illustrated’s Ben Reiter in May, “You can throw 100 miles an hour and punch out 12 guys. But if you’re going five innings, it’s a waste. I want to do everything I can to be as good as I can once a week.”

Not sure if anyone has ever mentioned this before, but it’s a long season, and after eight more strong innings against Detroit Tuesday, Sale’s 3.07 ERA would fit along very nicely with the rest of his excellent career, and he just pulled into tight race for the American League lead in innings pitched despite missing a start to pursue his interests in improvisational clothing alterations.

More importantly, for the first time he’s having the stretch run befitting an ace of his stature. Not once, not once, has Sale had a season with a lower ERA in the second half than he had in the first. Be it velocity loss, control issues, home run spikes, the 2015 Twins being able to read his mind, something has hampered him, and since it always was camped alongside the Sox falling completely out of race, Sale burned to improve.

Sale’s 2.49 ERA in the second half is close

to run better than where he stood at the All-Star Break. He’s back to striking out over a batter per inning, and after giving up 17 home runs in the first half, he’s only given up four in the second (no thanks to Miguel Cabrera). As far as efficiency, with 25 games left, Sale could conceivably find five more starts in his season–especially if his manager is interested in facilitating his push for hardware–but with his average start nearing 7.1 innings, Sale might match his career-high for innings with just three more days on the mound.

Once again, the impossibly lean and awkward lefty who once seemed too frail to start, or doomed to injury, or just maxed out in terms of ability and durability, has found some way to deliver more Cy Young-quality innings.

So naturally, he’s bristling.

“Top to bottom, no one’s happy about it,” Sale told Scott Merkin Tuesday, “It falls on us, mostly...We have to find a way to be better next year. Hold your head up high, but we’ve got to change something.”

It’s hard for any pitcher to be a clubhouse leader, but Sale at least publicly presents as the ultimate win-obsessed, team guy. As a win-obsessed player on the White Sox in the 2010s, his view is fittingly tortured. Nearly every season, he not only turns out a worldclass performance, but finds some unforeseeable way to improve upon it. And then the season ends, and he is forced to wonder what more he could have done.

It’s not fair, and no analysis of what went wrong with the Sox even includes Sale, but this is what he is, this is the impossible situation that forged him. Without it, would he still be Sale?

Magic number in range for Cubs

By Cat Garcia Contributor

W

ith just 23 games left in the regular season, and the Cubs still holding onto a solid division lead that they’ve owned since the beginning of the season, the time has come for the Northsiders to be one of the first teams in baseball to talk about their infamous magic number.

The Cubs are in a position to clinch the the National League Central title, and barely one full week into September, the Cubs magic number is already dwindling below double digits. It’s all happening.

Cubs starting pitcher John Lackey made his return to the rotation on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants during a matinee at Wrigley Field. Lackey went five strong innings, allowing just one earned run with one walk and four strikeouts.

The contest ended up being a 13 inning affair, one that is now being called “The Jason Heyward Game”. Heyward delivered the game tying single in the ninth inning, and finished off the day with another single to score Anthony Rizzo for a 3-2 walk off win. Heyward drove in all three of the runs

reasonable chance to win.

That’s all you can ask for when your destiny’s in your hands.

With an addition like Sitton, Kyle Long agrees on this year’s prospects.

“I think it shows that we want to win. It’s an exciting time.”

Come with Pace, and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination.

Week 1 @ Houston Texans

This is a tough opener for the Bears given Houston’s strengths.

When the Bears are on defense: While newly acquired quarterback Brock Osweiler doesn’t strike fear into his opponents, there’s a lot of speed and playmaking on Houston’s offense that will give the Bears problems.

DeAndre Hopkins is one of the best receivers in the league and if Chicago doesn’t come in with a proper plan, there might be an extensive highlight reel featuring Hopkins Sunday night.

Theoretically, Hopkins now has more help on the outside with additions of rookie speedsters Will Fuller and Braxton Miller. Given his receiving core, Osweiler might not have to do a lot of work to produce consistent fireworks either against Chicago or throughout the season.

Kyle Fuller (unrelated) needs to be able to stick with and at least slow Hopkins in man coverage

the Cubs scored on the afternoon.

“It’s good to be a part of it,” Heyward said of the victory on Sunday.

Quietly emerging as a potential Cy Young award candidate this season, Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks continues to impress not just North siders, but is capturing the attention of baseball fans everywhere. Hendricks allowed just one earned run with two walks and six strikeouts in his last outing on Monday against the Brewers at Miller Park, lowering his ERA to just 2.07. Hendricks still holds the best ERA in baseball among starting pitchers.

“The way he’s pitching, I don’t see anyone pitching as well as he’s been,” catcher Miguel Montero said of Hendricks after his outing in Milwaukee.

The Cubs will finish out their series in Milwaukee on Wednesday and have an off day on Thursday before heading to Houston to take on the Astros for a three-game set this upcoming weekend at Minute Maid Park.

• On the South Side, the decision on whether or not to shut down starting pitcher James Shields for the season is being

heavily discussed by the White Sox. During Shields’ start against the Twins on Saturday, he suffered from a back issue before and during the start. Shields only lasted 2.1 innings during the outing at Target Field, giving up three home runs during that stretch while also issuing four walks. The White Sox have not yet officially made a decision regarding Shields’ future in the rotation for the remainder of the season.

It was a deja vu battle of aces on the South side this Labor Day, as White Sox ace Chris Sale and Tigers ace Justin Verlander faced each other for the second time in just six days, and only the third time in their careers.

Unfortunately for Sale, despite a brilliant outing in which he went 8 innings allowing just two runs, no walks, and dealt 8 strikeouts, the game was lost to the Tigers at the hands of a poor bullpen. In the second tied contest in two straight days, the weary White Sox bullpen sent Chris Beck to the mound. Beck promptly gave up a three-run home run to Justin Upton, giving the Tigers the 5-3 lead in the top of the 11th inning.

After a season in which White Sox slug-

ger Jose Abreu had put together a disappointing campaign, he’s begun picking up his pace again in the second half, specifically the last few weeks. During the first half Abreu was hitting just .272/.326/.430 with 11 home runs in 342 plate appearances. But since the second half began, with just 191 plate appearances under his belt, Abreu is now hitting .330/.383/.555 with 11 home runs, and beginning to let the panic wash away from White Sox fans already troubled minds.

“I would say this is my best moment of this season,” Abreu said through a team interpreter of his recent success. “Everything has been good for me, and I also want to thank the guys because it’s not just one person. It’s the team.”

The White Sox will now finish out a series at U.S. Cellular Field against Detroit before taking on the Kansas City Royals this weekend at home for a three game set.

if the Bears are to have any chance.

Outside linebackers Willie Young, Lamarr Houston, and Leonard Floyd also need to show out with a consistent pass rush to rattle the still inexperienced Osweiler, something they struggled with in the preseason.

When the Bears are on offense: What should probably concern Chicago even more is how their offensive line will handle a Houston front seven that helped vault them into possessing the league’s 2nd ranked defense last year.

While the signing of Sitton helps tremendously, it will take some time before he’s fully comfortable with the Bears’ playbook. His presence will also likely shuffle Whitehair to center on short notice, after Whitehair practiced at left guard the entire offseason. Whitehair saw time at center this preseason and struggled, but he’ll be in a much more advantageous position flanked by Sitton and Long now.

The Bears offensive line needs to gel together quickly and that’s not the recipe you’re looking for against the reigning defensive player of the year in JJ Watt. Coming off back surgery, Watt is expected to play Sunday, and that is the worst possible news for a fresh offensive front. Watt’s the kind of player that can completely take over a game anytime he pleases and he never stops coming given his elite motor. The Bears may well produce a solid enough plan to slow Watt with double teams and chip blocks and it still might not be enough.

What’s dangerous is that if the Bears do manage to slow Watt, he now has an effective pass rushing counterpart in former number one pick Jadaveon Clowney that everybody assumes is ready for his breakout season. None of this sounds encouraging for offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains and Cutler.

If the Bears are to win on the road in Houston, they’ll have to rely on a conservative short passing game complemented by an

effective running game. Grind it out. If they fall behind early, that plan goes down the drain. What sets disaster into motion is Watt pinning his ears back rushing the passer so the Bears better be careful.

Year 2 of the Fox/Pace-era kicks off this weekend

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

A

s the league’s youngest general manager, Ryan Pace has come been to known for his contagious energetic demeanor. While nowhere near as exuberant or flashy, let’s say Pace is the Willy Wonka of his Chocolate Factory – or football team, in this case. No one could have predicted his shrewd and calculated decision making that makes the prospects of the 2016 season much more optimistic.

After a whirlwind weekend that saw an All Pro guard released from Green Bay, Josh Sitton, and fall into Chicago’s laps (along with the departure of the franchise all time leading scorer, kicker Robbie Gould) Pace seems to be confident his golden ticket is more redeemable than most. He’s the maestro with trade secrets setting the tone for a season that once again seems promising.

“Everything’s coming together at the right time”, said Pace to WBBM News Radio.

Yes a team executive realistically won’t publicly feed fans anything but positivity, but it’s interesting to note how none of this seems to surprise Pace or the Bears.

The 30-year-old Sitton’s availability came ChicagoBears.com

as a shock to the entire league, yet Pace and his personnel moved quickly to upgrade an offensive line in need. Injuries and retirements have decimated the Bears’ front, throwing into flux whatever plan was in place before, and here comes a lynchpin in Sitton to bring about new hope for an offense again. On paper, the Bears now have the best guard tandem in the league with Sitton and the newly extended ($40 million over four years, $30 million guaranteed) Kyle Long respectively, who will help solidify whoever plays between them at center in Cody Whitehair or Ted Larsen. Albeit there are concerns in Sitton’s case – he’s had a myriad of back problems in his career that have had him limited in practice – but he’s rarely not participated in games. It’s a necessary but tested risk.

This is an older professional in which Pace is investing tremendously, a supposed $21.75 million over three years with $10 million guaranteed. That’s a lot to invest on the interior to build an offensive line from the inside out while making an exception to the recent youth movement, but it also shows flexibility. Pace isn’t afraid of deviating from his own set plan when in dire straits and that kind of mentality spreads throughout the organization. The signing of Sitton isn’t just a short-term plug

and play move given the money invested. The Bears’ offensive line was in complete shambles throughout the preseason. Moving on Sitton so swiftly and decisively signals that Pace and company believe this team can win now contrary to popular belief.

With the release of long time stalwart Robbie Gould a little over a week before opening day, the New England model full of gall, of letting players go a season too early not a season too late is fully in motion. Fans have too much sentimental attachment to players while executives hold no qualms but results. The 34-year-old Gould had a rough 2015 season, being just the 19th most accurate kicker in the NFL and followed that up with a rough 2016 preseason seeing him miss several extra points and a chip shot field goal against Cleveland.

If you have that in context, this again, isn’t a shocking move by Pace. You just understand that he’s willing to move away from even the last piece of the last Super Bowl Bears team if they won’t perform at a moment’s notice. Especially if the price is high as Gould was set to have the highest cap hit among kickers at $4.1 million.

The release of Gould saves approximately $3 million in a savvy cap move. There’s no way Pace could justify keeping on what was becoming dead weight, even if that player was a “legend” or so to speak, and that deserves a round of applause.

Connor Barth, the new Bears kicker, isn’t an upgrade by any means. In fact, Barth was even less accurate than Gould last season, coming in with 82.1 percent field goals made, good for

23rd in the league. But Barth is much cheaper and someone head coach John Fox and Pace are familiar with in previous stops in Denver. His availability preceded Gould’s departure and gives us a glimpse into Pace’s refreshing mindset.

Now, the Bears still have plenty of questions.

As the league’s 10th most youngest team overall, growing pains are inevitable.

No one knows who the consistent playmakers will be sans Alshon Jeffery. Is Jeremy Langford the featured back in a committee? Can Kevin White take away attention from his counterparts and be a difference maker? The defense also has issues on the back end. Is Tracy Porter due for a huge regression after a relatively successful season last year? Can Kyle Fuller make the leap as a dominant corner? These episodes have yet to be written.

But constants like the revamped front seven featuring Danny Trevathan and the steady play of Jay Cutler, yes Jay Cutler, will keep this team more competitive than most think. Especially in Cutler’s case, now that he’s more likely to stay upright with the upgrade to his offensive line.

There’s a quality foundation here and more potential bright spots on this roster than people will care to acknowledge and it could make for a fun autumn. If the dominoes fall into place, perhaps the Bears do make the playoffs, flaws and all, but even if they don’t, it doesn’t mean they won’t take the next progression. This team will be competitive in most games and have a See BEARS on Page 46
