Republican Donald Trump got it wrong when he said the moderator of the first U.S. presidential debate next week between him and his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, is a Democrat.

NBC’s Lester Holt, who will moderate the debate on Monday, is registered as a Republican, according to voter information on the New York State Board of Elections website. NBC did not respond to requests for comment on Tuesday about Holt’s party affiliation.

Trump has said repeatedly the presidential debates will be stacked against him. He said on Fox News on Monday that Holt was a “professional” but that he was a Democrat, adding that the NBC News anchor may be under pressure after critics accused fellow NBC journalist Matt Lauer of giving Clinton tougher treatment than Trump during a recent forum on defense issues.

“Look, it’s a phony system. Lester is a Democrat. I mean, they are all Democrats. OK? It’s a very unfair system,” Trump said on the show.

Bill O’Reilly, the Fox News host conducting the interview, said two other debate moderators, ABC’s Martha Raddatz and CNN’s Anderson Cooper, were also Democrats.

Cooper is registered in New York with no party affiliation, according to the state elections site, which CNN confirmed. ABC did not respond to a request for comment about Raddatz’s registration.

The fourth presidential debate moderator, Chris Wallace of Fox News, is a registered Democrat in Washington, D.C., according to the District’s elections website.

Wallace has said in interviews that he registered with the party so he could vote in primaries in the heavily Democratic District of Columbia.

The father of the Afghan-born man arrested after weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey reported concerns about his son to the FBI in 2014, but it found no “ties to terrorism” and dropped its inquiry, the father and the agency said on Tuesday.

U.S. authorities were investigating whether Ahmad Khan Rahami, the naturalized American citizen captured on Monday in New Jersey after a shootout with police, had accomplices in the bombings or if he picked up militant Islamic views during trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

“The investigation is active and ongoing, and it is being investigated as an act of terror,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in Lexington, Kentucky.

Rahami, 28, was suspected in the weekend bombings, including a blast on Saturday night in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood that wounded 29 people, and another on the New Jersey shore that injured no one earlier that day. Rahami was arrested on Monday in Linden, New Jersey, after a shootout with police that left him with multiple gunshot wounds.

JUSTICE SERVED?

Karmeier named Chief Justice; ‘dark money’ case moves ahead

L

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

loyd Karmeier has been selected as Illinois’ 120th Chief Justice, but a civil case stemming from his initial election to the state Supreme Court has been given class-action status by a federal judge.

The Illinois Supreme Court announced Monday that Karmeier, 76, will be its next Chief Justice after being unanimously elected to the office by his fellow justices.

Karmeier will serve a three-year term commencing October 26. He succeeds Rita B. Garman, whose tenure as Chief Justice ends October 25.

An installation ceremony honoring Karmeier’s election as Chief Justice will be held at the Supreme Court Building in Springfield on Monday, October 31. Garman will administer the oath of office.

Karmeier will be the second person from downstate Washington County to hold the office following Justice Byron O. House, for whom Karmeier served as a law clerk.

“I appreciate the confidence shown by the other members of the court in electing me to this position,” Karmeier said in a statement. “Since joining thecourtin2004,Ihavehadtheprivilegeofserving under five different chief justices, all of whom have done an outstanding job. I will do my very best to live up to the high standard they have set.”

Amid the pomp of Karmeier’s ascension to the Court’s top seat, a federal case centered around payments alleged to have benefited his 2004 election is set to move forward.

U.S. District Court Judge David R. Herndon on Friday granted class certification to plaintiffs representing 4.7 million State Farm policyholders involved in the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) case.

The plaintiffs say an alleged scheme involving campaign contributions that poured into the then-trial judge Karmeier’s 2004 race were meant to “influence the reversal of a $1.05 billion decision” against State Farm.

According to the complaint, State Farm and related defendants allegedly “perpetrated a scheme through an enterprise specifically designed to defraud Plaintiffs and Class out of

a $1.05 billion judgment.”

Per the Clifford Law Office of Chicago, “That ‘scheme’ allegedly involved the defendants orchestrating a ‘dark money’ network of campaign contributions to the campaign committee of Justice Lloyd A. Karmeier for the Illinois Supreme Court who would be sympathetic to State Farm’s position in the $1.05 billion class-action, and then misleading and lying to the Court about its clandestine and sizable involvement in contributions to Karmeier’s contested election.”

Avery v. State Farm involved damages to claimants’ cars being repaired with non-factory authorized or non-original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts when policy holders were led to believe that the parts were factory authorized, as State Farm policies provided.

The case covers a period between 1987-1998.

That case, which began as a class-action suit in 1997, was ultimately decided by the state Supreme Court after Karmeier had taken his place on the bench.

Karmeier’s contested election for an open seat on the Court during the November 2004 election saw some of the highest spending in history for a judicial race, and his recruitment for the position was intended to produce someone “who would support State Farm once its appeal came before the [Illinois Supreme] Court for disposition,” according to pleadings.

Karmeier later admitted following a decision in the case in favor of State Farm that he had cast the deciding vote.

A source with knowledge of the pending case said they were shocked to see Karmeier hear arguments in the original suit.

“The appearance of any bias or shady dealings

should be avoided at all costs,” they said. “In federal court, things are vastly different. But in Illinois, big industry helps elect judges. That’s problematic enough.”

Attorneys for State Farm and Karmeier attempted to quash any depositions given by the Justice, but a judge in March 2015 said that Karmeier could answer 20 written questions from the plaintiffs “strictly limited in scope” to his 2004 election and State Farm’s involvement in the funding of his campaign.

His challenger for the Fifth District Supreme Court seat in that election, then-appellate judge Gordon Maag, had written the decision affirming the $1.05 billion judgment against State Farm.

Robert Schultz, who had acted as a principal lawyer for State Farm in the Avery case, was appointed to the Illinois State Bar Association’s Judicial Evaluation Committee in 2003 and set out to oversee the vetting of both candidates ahead of the 2004 election.

Schultz had also sought to avoid deposition in the pending case, but the plaintiffs argued that his continued involvement through the appeals process, including a 2011 response to the ongoing appeal which included Schultz’s signature as an acting party, implicated him in the RICO claim.

Neither Schultz nor State Farm had disclosed Schultz’s involvement in the bar association’s vetting process for the 2004 election during the initial trial.

State Farm’s parent company, Phillip Morris USA, also took a $10.1 billion class-action judgment to the Illinois Supreme Court in 2015.

That case saw the state ‘s top court overturn an appeals court’s ruling 4-2 in favor of Phillip

Morris, with Karmeier again choosing not to recuse himself.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the state court’s decision in June of this year. It was one of the first cases in the U.S. to accuse a cigarette manufacturer of consumer fraud in its advertising of so-called “light” and “low-tar” products.

The pending class-action case against State Farm alleges that the insurer contributed millions to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which then sent the money back to PACs and the Illinois Republican Party for use in Karmeier’s campaign.

“Plaintiffs allege Karmeier’s participation in that case and his apparent lack of objectivity tainted the tribunal that resulted in the reversal by the Illinois Supreme Court,” said Clifford’s.

The lawsuit states that had Karmeier recused himself, a split vote in the seven-member Court would have seen the original verdict rendered against State Farm stand.

“The Illinois Constitution clearly provides that four votes are required to reverse the decision of an appellate court,” said Robert A. Clifford, founder and senior partner of Clifford Law Offices and co-lead counsel of the class-action matter. “In the absence of four votes, the Illinois Constitution provides that the decision of the appellate court stands, which in this matter would have resulted in affirming the $1.05 billion verdict.”

In a 29-page written opinion issued Friday, Judge Herndon said that in certifying the class, “the Court agrees with plaintiff that all questions of law and fact are common as to the putative class: did defendants act in concert over a period of time to select and elect Justice Karmeier and to fraudulently conceal the nature and the scope of their involvement to enable and defend his participation in Avery.”

Herndon previously ruled in June that plaintiffs’ experts, including a judicial election expert as well as a forensic accounting expert who valued the case to now be worth $7.6 billion, could testify as expert witnesses during an expected upcoming trial.

The defendants in the RICO certified class-action are State Farm; Edward Murnane, President of the Illinois Civil Justice League (ICJL); and William G. Shepherd, employee/lobbyist of State Farm and ICJL Executive Committee Member.

Karmeier’s disbanded election committee remains associated in the enterprise, according to last week’s filings.

ThepartiesareexpectedtobebeforeJudgeHerndon Oct. 15 – 11 days before Karmeier’s swearing in – in St. Louis for a status hearing on the case.

Government Accountability

Take the county term limits survey

By Paul Gorski Contributor

T

erm limits, capping how many years an elected official may hold a particular office, seems to be a very popular idea in Winnebago County.

Over the past couple of months I have spoken with dozens of residents who are in favor of limiting how long our elected officials may stay in office in an effort to break up the power and influence certain politicians have.

Even John Nelson, local candidate for County Board Chairman, supports term limits for the chairman’s office.

But I am not so sure term limits are the answer. My problem with term limits is that, while the official holding the office will leave, the money backing the candidate will still be around. The contributors behind the scenes will simply find another person to fund – and possibly control – through campaign contributions.

I do not mean to offend those people and contributors who simply want to support good candidates, but one element of term limits is to stop the stockpiling of contributions. Money is a big part of political campaigns, and term limits only deal with the

money in a small way.

That said, term limits is a popular subject with voters, but not so popular with some politicians.

I decided to survey local residents, via a new website countytermlimits.com, to find out how popular term limits are with voters. Do you support term limits? If you support term limits, do you support eight- or 12-year limits? Take the

survey and let me know.

Once I collect the data over the next months, I will release the results. If the topic is that popular, I suggest the following: create legislation that would allow individual units of government in Illinois to determine, by voter ballot measures for each government, whether or not to apply term limits to that

unit of government. Unfortunately, this might also mean updating the state constitution, but we can work on that from right here in Winnebago County too.

My thinking here is that universally applied term limits legislation will likely fail, even a statewide referendum may fail, so tweak the legislation to make it easier for state politicians to support it. Let the voters in each unit of local government decide whether or not to apply term limits to their politicians. Of course, you always have the option of simply voting them out office.

The website countytermlimits.com is not only a survey; I hope to expand it to become a forum for discussing and furthering the topic of locally applied term limits through your comments, suggestions and social media outlets. Your ideas for term limits and how to improve the website are appreciated.

This survey started with your ideas, so keep them coming. Visit countytermlimits. com and let’s start the local term limits discussion today.

Illinois called ‘financial sinkhole’

Illinois is third worst among what Truth in Accounting calls “sinkhole states” when it comes to overall fiscal health, thanks to growing unfunded pension and retiree health care liabilities, according to a new report from the organization.

It’s no secret each Illinoisan is on the hook for a lot of debt. How much? Truth In Accounting Founder and CEO Sheila Weinberg said “each taxpayer, in order to clean up the unfunded debt that they [lawmakers] have accumulated for us, owes $45,500.”

Only Connecticut and New Jersey taxpayers owe more.

Weinberg said Illinois, like other states, keeps retiree health care liability hidden from taxpayers and uses gimmicks to say the budget is balanced.

“Illinois is, oh my gosh, they’re the poster child of the accounting tricks they use in the budget to pretend the budget is balanced,” she said.

While Weinberg said her organization doesn’t offer fixes, the first step to solving the growing debt issue is to recognize there’s a problem. “Let’s go ahead and be honest with the public,” she said. “We promote what we call fact-based budgeting which is you include all of your costs and you only include revenue that you earn in the budget.”

Illinois hasn’t had a full-year budget since July of 2015. An analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago recently confirmed that Illinois hasn’t had a truly balanced budget in more than 20 years.

Weinberg said some municipalities have growing taxpayer debt as well, putting Chicago taxpayers on the hook for more than $29,000 on top of the state debt.

Meanwhile each U.S. citizen owes $272,000 in federal debt. If that federal debt were based on taxpayers, and not citizens, Weinberg said the number would be over half a million dollars.

Election board rejects Mautino hearing delay

A public hearing in the Illinois State Board of Elections’ (ISBE) proceedings concerning a private citizen’s complaint against Auditor General Frank Mautino will go forward despite attempts from both sides to delay the proceedings.

Mautino is under federal investigation over campaign spending from his time as a state legislator. Mautino also is involved in a complaint filed by Streator resident David Cooke concerning spending at a service station and bank.

Mautino’s attorney requested that the state election board hold off on the public hearing.

That was shot down by the election board Mon-

day. Cooke’s request to delay the public hearing also was shot down. Cooke is not an attorney.

“So I’ll have to find an attorney or learn how to do subpoenas, and I want that — it’s a rare opportunity to go in and get the treasurer’s books, to go into the bank, get the records to substantiate and the service station’s — that’s what I want,” Cooke said.

Cooke will have to move quickly to prepare.

The retired Exelon employee didn’t realize that investigating the case would be entirely on him, not the elections board, which doesn’t conduct such investigations.

Elections board member Andrew Carruthers said he wants to act on the hearing

officer’s recommendations at the board’s October meeting. Cooke said that makes him feel disenfranchised.

“You want me to move at Godspeed and learn to be an attorney and have the case wrapped up by next month,” Cooke said. “I understand they want to move forward, but I haven’t been the one delaying it.”

The elections board referred the case to a hearing officer, but a public hearing date has not been set.

Cooke said he will be out of town for a month, but will coordinate proceedings via teleconference.

State aims to boost monarch habitats, population The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is looking to boost the population of the state’s official insect, the monarch butterfly, and studies indicate the species has suffered a dramatic decline in its winter populations in Mexico.

Millions of the distinctive orange and black butterflies pass through Illinois annually during their 2,500-mile migration from Mexico to Canada, and back again.

Ann Holtrop, acting chief of the department’s natural heritage division, said a recent summit of participants representing environmental interests, as well as state resources, kicked off an effort to further study the mon-

arch’s needs, then settle on a statewide plan to improve and expand the butterfly’s natural habitats in Illinois.

“In terms of what it’s going to take, we believe there will be some increased need in the breeding habitat, so that would be native milkweed plant,” Holtrop said, adding that it will take at least a few months for researchers to study the butterfly’s needs, create an action plan, then determine how much everything will cost.

“The other piece that we’re really looking at is to ensure that there’s an adequate food supply for all stages of the monarch migration,” Holtrop said. “Getting the right mix of the nectaring plants and the food sources for the monarchs,

both in the spring and the late summer, early fall, will be just as important.”

Holtrop said Illinois already contains large areas of the butterfly’s habitat, but that more are needed.

“We have a lot of habitat for butterflies, both breeding and nectaring habitat, and we also have a lot of what I would consider opportunities to put more habitat on the ground,” Holtrop said.

“Anyone can plant in their home gardens, or we can do large tracts of pollinator habitats at parks or churches or libraries, those kinds of public places.”

Energy & Environment

Meeting the challenge of climate change

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

I

n his book, A World to Live In, Dr. George Woodwell reminds us that in February, 1965, the climate change issue was first raised in Congress when scientists warned of its dangers to the planet and human well being. In 1976, he joined other scientists in writing a letter calling for mitigating actions to stop climate warming. In June 1988, he was one of six scientists who testified to Congress that global warming was measurable.

While some corrective actions have been taken, he indicates that procrastination remains our major public policy. Delays ignore the urgency of the situation and its potentially irreversible adverse consequences.

Some argue that the issue is overblown and if it occurs we should be able to accommodate our economy to the changes. But Woodwell questions the wisdom of policies

directed at accommodation as damage is already occurring and public funds are being redirected to the costly process of restoring storm-damaged areas such as those in New York, New Jersey and the Gulf of Mexico.

While accommodation appears reasonable for the short term it ignores the long-term impacts of climate change. If storms, floods, droughts, and heat waves intensify as predicted by scientists involved in climate change research, the benefits of accommodation will be short lived and more costly efforts will have to be undertaken.

While not predicting the end of life on the planet he raises the specter of a collapse of our current civilization as the costs and social stress from climate disruption mount.

Woodwell believes we still have time to act before the situation becomes irreversible but only if we dramatically reduce the production and use of fossil fuels immediately and support a long-term commitment to

remove the climate-changing gases from the environment.

While he values the efforts to-date to restore and protect ecosystems and switch to renewable energy sources, if climate disruption continues on its projected path such efforts are unlikely to survive.

In order to meet the challenges posed by climate disruption, he calls for concerned citizens to challenge the current political orthodoxy of economic growth as essential and environmental concerns as a luxury to be dealt with when we are rich enough to afford it.

For example, extracting coal from strip mines in Wyoming to be sold to China destroys fertile grasslands that supported grazing animals for centuries; adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere has enriched coal interests but destroyed a self-sustaining ecosystem.

Woodwell’s vision of a world to live in calls

for corporations to adopt a closed cycle of manufacturing in which all the wastes from what they produce are tightly controlled by the company. It also calls a prime purpose of government to be conservation including actions to preserve the full range of species in natural communities as they are the operating systems of the biosphere.

Woodwell portrays civilization as facing a biophysical crisis born of corporate excesses compounded by growing human populations. He wonders how our political leaders and the public accept the right of corporations to poison the world. As an elder statesman of the environmental movement, he is well aware of the long, continuous struggle to protect civil rights, human health and that of the planet. The growth of the local food, energy and ecological restoration efforts are seen as the seeds of an essential transition.

Most states on track to meet emissions targets they call burden

The 27 states challenging Obama’s Clean Power Plan in court say the lower emissions levels it would impose are an undue burden.

But most are likely to hit them anyway.

Already, Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma and South Dakota appear to be meeting the CPP’s early targets. And changes in the power market, along with policies favoring clean generation, are propelling most of the rest toward timely compliance, according to researchers, power producers and officials, as well as government filings reviewed by Reuters.

“We are seeing reductions earlier than we ever expected,” U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy said in an interview. “It’s a great sign that the market has already shifted and people are invested in the newer technologies, even while we are in litigation.”

States engaged in the legal battle that is set for an appellate court hearing later this month say their concerns go beyond whether they can meet the mandate. The states, most of them led

by Republican governors, say they object to what they view as federal overreach by Obama and the Democrats and want to maintain flexibility to make energy decisions at the state level that reflect changing market conditions.

Cynthia Coffman, attorney general of Colorado, said her state’s likely ability to comply with the CPP’s mandate “truly is not the issue.”

“We don’t have anything against clean air,” Coffman said. “That really doesn’t factor into my decision to say the federal government has gone beyond its legal authority.”

Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt

said that he sees the Clean Power Plan as a form of federal “coercion and commandeering” of energy policy and that the state should have “sovereignty to make decisions for its own markets.”

The Obama administration finalized the Clean Power Plan in 2015 as a central part of meeting U.S. obligations under the Paris Climate Agreement.

In February, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed implementation of the rule pending resolution of the states’ litigation. Later this month, a panel of the D.C. Circuit Court is scheduled to hear arguments in the case.

The CPP sets carbon-reduction goals for each state, but allows states to decide how to meet them.

During the early years of implementation, the goals are guidelines intended to put states on track to meet the final deadline of 2030.

If a state fails to submit a plan to the EPA by interim deadlines, the agency can impose its own plan on that state’s power producers.

Failure to comply by 2030 could open a state up to administrative penalties and lawsuits.

To be sure, some states fighting the mandate would have to drastically change course to meet it.

West Virginia, which is leading the legal challenge with Texas, still relies largely on carbon-spewing, coal-fired power. And Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming have large gaps between their current emissions and the plan’s mandates.

But, in a reflection of how rapidly the power market is shifting, the U.S. government’s Energy Information Administration earlier this

year reduced its forecast for 2030 power plant carbon emissions by nearly 11 percent, without factoring in reductions that may be generated by the Clean Power Plan.

The projection for the nation as a whole would be nearly two-thirds of the CPP’s target by 2030, even if the law never takes effect.

A 2015 analysis by consulting firm M.J. Bradley & Associates for the Environmental Defense Fund found that 21 of the 27 states suing to block the Clean Power Plan are on track to meet its 2024 targets with existing plants and planned investments.

Eighteen states are on track to hit the 2030 targets with no changes to current plans, according to the Bradley analysis, which was filed with the court as part of an amicus brief from the Environmental Defense Fund in support of the government.

And the outlook has improved for some states since the Bradley forecast. It didn’t expect Arkansas, for example, to meet the 2024 target.

But in 2015, after shifting significant energy generation from coal to natural gas, the state reported power plant emissions for the year that were below the 2030 requirement.

SEC reportedly investigating Exxon over fraud

By Samantha Page ThinkProgress.org

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly investigating Exxon on allegations that the company is not accounting for the longterm risks of climate change.

According to multiple reports, Exxon might not be accurately valuing its assets during the current spate of low oil prices or, in the longer term, in the face of climate change disruptions and decreased fossil fuel use.

It is illegal to misrepresent financial information, including asset values, to shareholders.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the SEC requested information in August from Exxon

and its auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP. The agency has also been reviewing documents received during the New York attorney general’s ongoing Exxon investigation.

The news comes nearly a year after Inside Climate News and the Los Angeles Times independently discovered that Exxon scientists were aware as far back as the 1970s that burning fossil fuels leads to climate change. Those revelations prompted state attorneys general in California, New York, and Massachusetts to launch the so-called Exxon Knew investigations, looking at whether Exxon defrauded the public, which includes shareholders, about the long-term risks of its business model.

“This is a remarkably important development —t he federal government is joining the courageous state attorneys general, and they’re all following the trail of clues that began with powerful investigative journalism,” 350.org founder Bill McKibben said in a statement. “Before they’re done we’ll understand considerably more about how the world overheated —b ut in the meantime, every institution that invests in Exxon should take real note of who you’re keeping company with.”

But while environmental advocates have cheered the investigations, Republican lawmakers and law officials have criticized them.

Banking Scandal

Senators push Wells Fargo CEO on pay clawbacks

By Patrick Rucker & Dan Freed Reuters

Senate lawmakers excoriated Wells Fargo & Co’s chief on Tuesday for his oversight of the bank as it opened 2 million bogus customer accounts, potentially laying the groundwork for new rules and reviving questions of whether banks are “too big to fail.”

Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf told the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday that customers who had bogus accounts opened in their name will be made whole and compensated for any damage to their credit rating, but some Democratic senators called for his resignation.

Under fire, Stumpf said he has told his managers to do “whatever it takes” to make customers whole, refunding fees or compensating them for damage to their credit ratings.

But he stood behind the former executive who ran the unit that oversaw many of the practices, and at times downplayed the scope of the affair.

In answer to a question, he declined to commit to setting aside mandatory arbitration agreements that prohibit clients from suing Wells Fargo. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has proposed a ban on such clauses that prohibit class-action lawsuits.

Earlier this month, the lender agreed to pay $190 million in penalties and customer payouts to settle the case involving the creation of credit, savings and other accounts without customers’ knowledge. About $5 million will directly go to customers, many of whom might have paid a small fee on the unwanted accounts.

The revelations are a severe hit to Wells Fargo’s reputation. During the financial crisis, the bank trumpeted itself as conservative, in contrast to its rivals.

Besides potential criminal charges against

the company and its executives, Wells Fargo may face pressure from shareholders to change its practices on executive pay and governance.

The scandal also renewed debate over whether U.S. banks are “too big to fail” and need closer government oversight to prevent a massive collapse.

Lawmakers could use the fraud settlement as a springboard for new rules on executive pay, including clawbacks of compensation, and limits on forced arbitration.

Wells Fargo has said its board will assess whether to cancel or claw back any incentive compensation paid to a now-retired executive at the center of the scandal, Carrie Tolstedt.

Democratic Senators Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts called for Stumpf to resign, with Warren saying

Stumpf should give back his salary and be criminally investigated.

“You should resign. You should give back the money you took while this scam was going on, and you should be criminally investigated,” Warren said.

The bank’s board of directors is examining what action it should take against company executives, Stumpf told the committee.

“I accept full responsibility for all unethical sales practices,” Stumpf said, adding later, “I apologize to all of the American people and our customers, and I will make it right.”

Lawmakers said the phony bank accounts might have hurt customer credit ratings, increased the cost of a mortgage or car loan.

New credit card applications and consumer borrowing trends can weight on an individual’s credit.

has launched his own investigation into the state attorneys general. In addition, Texas and Arkansas attorneys general filed on behalf of Exxon when it challenged a Virgin Islands subpoena. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has called the investigations “ridiculous.”

McKibben and others have pushed financial institutions to divest from fossil fuel companies — and for good reason. A study last year found that Massachusetts’ public pension fund lost half a billion dollars from its investments in fossil fuels the previous fiscal year.

Jack Brand | 1938-2016

‘He just loved drums...’

L

ocal music icon and renowned drum instructer Jack Brand died last week after a long battle with illness. He was 78.

Born John Frederick Brand in Springfield in 1938, Jack started playing drums at an early age and by the 5th grade he was invited to play with the high school band.

He eventually moved to Rockford with his family and in the 7th grade he became a member of a small jazz group that won several contests in Rockford and Chicago.

As Jack entered high school he was

playing with older musicians in local nightclubs and began teaching the instrument that would become his lifelong work.

Upon graduation he went on the road playing with several bands across the country. After three years, he decided the ‘road’ and one-night stands was not for him and returned to Rockford to teach and play with the very best of local musicians in dozens of venues, from circuses to the Symphony and all the best clubs in the area.

In the early ‘90s, Jack taught at Beloit College and as head of the Percussion Department instituted

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

“One of my favorite memories of Jack was riding with him to the Regional Slingerland Louie Bellson Drum Contest in Chicago around 1979. The winner would get an appearance on the Johnny Carson Tonight Show. I was so proud to be his student, and was so prepared for the contest thanks to all of Jack’s help with reading, playing jazz, writing my drum solo, etc. I placed in the top five and lost to the actual winner of the whole contest.

On the ride home Jack didn’t let me pout, even though I felt I had let him down. He just loved drums.

His teachings still carry over in my life’s work, and music today.”

- Jade Moede “Jack had a very cynical and wry sense of humor but was never a jerk to me about anything. I think I was 17 when we played our first job together and I’m sure I was a knowit-all bass player that overplayed to prove it. Although that annoyed him

their Percussion Ensemble program. Jack also published several drum method books and a coffee table book on his idol, jazz and studio legend Shelly Manne, which received world-wide acclaim. He would also receive the RAMI Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006.

“To help drummers improve their craft and then use that craft in a musical way has been my life’s work,” he once said.

For this weeks Rockford Rocked Interviews column, we asked some of Jack’s former students and contemporaries to give us their thoughts about one of the Rockford music scene’s greatest contributors.

to no end he never complained and we continued to do gigs together for years. I remember one night we were doing some upbeat Latin number and out of nowhere I hear this cool percussion that was not from a drum kit. I looked over and Jack was playing his drink glass with the right hand and his hi-hat stand with the left!”

- Jim McDowell “My mom & dad bought me my first drum kit from Jack Brand back in 1981. Thanks Jack!”

- Vince Wolfe “He was an awesome guy and gave my brother drum lessons for years.”

- Ken Lundberg “I took drum lessons from Jack Brand for a few years.

He could always tell when I wasn’t prac ticing!”

- Trent Hanson “Jack was my drum teacher and music mentor. He turned out some

Valid Tuesday-Friday, 6:30am-ll:30am

of the best working drummers in the area. He was also a great drummer himself and funny as hell. Jack taught me to love music and for that I am forever grateful. He will be missed.”

- Douglas J. Marocco “One of Jack’s favorite things to say to us students was, ‘Count out loud!’”

- John Bruneni “I feel so lucky to have been taught

by Jack. He was always there to encourage me to be a better player.

One of the greats indeed. His easy to read Percussion Express drum books helped so many.”

- Scott O’Malley “My first band, Prowler, rehearsed in Jack Brand’s drum studio while his son Jason was in the band. He

was always very cool to us.”

- Dan Hay “Jack Brand was a fantastic drummer, educator, author, artist, and wonderful man. Very intelligent and funny. I had a few lessons with Jack, the only teacher I’ve ever had.

We clicked right from the moment I sat down. I would have studied with him for years but the road gigs made it impossible. Jack introduced me to Buddy Rich when I was 21. We went back to the dressing room and it was clear Buddy respected Jack too. That should tell you something about Jack’s musicianship! He will be missed but not forgotten.

His influence will be heard and felt through all of those fortunate enough to have worked and studied with him. Peace to his loved ones.”

Downtown sculpture stroll to stay thru May 2017

Eight of the original nine sculptures that are part of the Forest City Beautiful Sculpture Stroll – featuring Boaz Vaadia and Hans Van de Bovenkamp – will remain in Rockford through May 2017, says the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB).

“The sculptures are a perfect fit with the downtown landscape,” said John Groh, president/CEO of the RACVB. “We are excited and thankful that the artists wanted to continue their agreement with us and extend the stay of these beautiful sculptures in our community.”

Originally schedule to be on display from June 2015 to May 2016, the RACVB worked with the artists to extend the stay because of the overwhelming response from the community.

“The community has really taken to these sculptures and embraced them as part of our downtown,” said Groh. “We see them featured on social media by both residents and visitors as they interact with the art.”

“We know how spectacular these sculptures are and our hope is to keep one or more of the sculptures in Rockford permanently,” said Groh.

RACVB hopes to raise funds through its RACVB Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non-profit, to be able to purchase one or more of the pieces for permanent display.

For more information on the sculptures or to download the FCB Sculpture Stroll flyer, go online to gorockford.com/publicart.

Hoo Haven receives equipment grant

Hoo Haven Wildlife Rehabilitation & Education Center in northwestern Winnebago County is pleased to announce that is has received a $7,000 grant for the purchase of a walk-in cooler.

This grant award comes from a generous donation from the Dr. Courtney J. and Margaret Hutchins Hamlin Family fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois.

As Hoo Haven’s wildlife patient load increases, so too does the need for the safe storage of large amounts of food and medication that requires proper refrigeration.

Such donations that help Hoo Haven on a daily basis include: venison, other meat, game and fish brought to the facility by the DNR, local hunters, fishermen, and other generous citizens; fruits & vegetables grown or donated; dairy products including goat milk used for wildlife newborns; and medications and dietary supplements.

“All of these items are critical to the rehabilitation process for our wildlife patients at Hoo

Haven. A healthy diet is just one key to getting them healthy enough to be released and back into the wild where they belong. That is always the goal,” stated Karen Herdklotz, Hoo Haven Founder and Director.

“We would like to thank the many supporters of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, and particularly the Hutchins Hamlin family for believing in and supporting Hoo Haven’s mission,” she continued.

Donations are always welcome and a wish list can be found on the organization’s website hoohaven.org. Daily tours of the facility are now available for a small donation. Volunteers are always needed as well.

Much Ado about Mamma Mia at the Paramount

By Bill Beard Contributor

T

here is indeed much to be said about the new production of Mamma Mia, the musical, in Aurora’s current “Broadway at the Paramount” series! ABBAsolutely!

Opening night was a celebration, with an audience that showed its enthusiastic support continuously, with spontaneous laughter, sometimes clapping with the music, and even in the case of the excited ladies sitting in front of me, often singing the lyrics along with the performers. But so what? This is a ‘feel good’ show. Why not show how ‘good you feel’?

Mamma Mia, the film, based on the original stage musical, premiered in July of 2008, starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth; it received mixed reviews – from 4 out of 5 stars, with “all the swing and sparkle of sequined bell-bottoms” and “cute, clean, camp fun, full of sunshine and toe tappers”; down to 1 out of 5 stars, with “so base, so shallow and so hinged on meaningless spectacle” that it made the reviewer “need to vomit”!

Some nominations, but no awards; except for Pierce Brosnan, who won the Golden Raspberry Award as “Worst Supporting Actor”. Nevertheless, the film went on to gross a worldwide total of $602,609,487. But then we all know you can’t really trust critics anyway! Right?

Mamma Mia, the musical, on the other hand, has had a fantastic journey. It opened in London in April, 1999. It had pre-Broadway runs in Toronto in 2000, San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2001, and three months in Chicago in May to August 2001, before opening on Broadway on October 18, 2001; and it just closed last September 2015 after 5,773 performances, boasting the eighth longest-running Broadway show and the longest-running ‘jukebox musical‘ in Broadway

history. However, the London West End production is still running at the Novella Theatre, and is booking tickets through March, 2017 (remember, it opened in April, 1999).

The musical’s success is based of course on the music of ABBA – Anni-Frid (Lyngstad), Benny (Andersson), Bjorn (Ulvaeus), and Agnetha (Faltskog) – four young Swedish pop singers who met in the late 1960s and worked together to become phenomenally popular in the 1970s and ‘80s. They brought Sweden into the international spotlight and brought Euro-pop to the world’s attention. Their music has been internationally renown ever since.

“Jukebox musicals” are so called because they use the songs of one (or more) pop writer of the day which are so well known and loved that they are worth trying to “honor” by inserting them into some appropriate plot line. And whereas most standard musical theatre shows have new original songs written specifically to enhance and advance the story line, taking a grouping of already popular hit songs and writing a plot around them can be much more tricky, and can perhaps result in some contrived and curious sequencing. But award-winning British playwright Catherine Johnson has not only written a marvelously clever and charming play, she has also made it work by enhancing the lyrics of the songs and letting them contribute to the flow of the story.

The plot, as found in the playbill: “It’s the story of Sophie, a 20-year-old bride-to-be preparing for her wedding at her mother‘s charming Greek Island resort restaurant.

Unbeknownst to her mother, she finds her mom’s diary and reads about her love-filled summer 20 years before with three different men. Sophie is convinced one of the men is her father, and she’s determined to find out who. She sends a wedding invitation to each of the men, forging her mother’s signature on each note. When the men arrive the day before the ceremony, Donna, her mom, is shocked at their presence while Sophie is

elated to finally meet her father. Quickly, each of the men realizes why they’ve been asked to the nuptials, and each is ready to walk their daughter down the aisle.”

Artistic Director Jim Corti has again put together a strong cast. Wow! He has filled the stage with an ensemble of gorgeous gals and enough buff and beefy young guys to populate any beach anywhere, making this a visual fantasy.

I congratulate Mr. Corti on casting newcomer Kirsten Frumkin in the ingenue role of Sophie. A recent graduate of Roosevelt’s College of Performing Arts, she confided to me that she had bravely walked into a non-Equity open audition and was thrilled to be cast, in the lead! Let me say that she was wonderful; perhaps a little challenged here and there (ABBA’s stuff is not easy to handle); sometimes the voice had a bit of an edge. But she definitely held her own among the Equity crowd, and we‘ll be seeing much more of her.

Amy Montgomery as Donna, Sophie’s mother, is a splendid actress, and manages the ABBA music deftly. But her career is filled with the classics – Shaw, Goldsmith, Shakespeare….lots of Shakespeare. Perhaps that’s partially why her Donna seemed too grounded, too disturbed by being confronted with three old lovers. We needed her to rise above the melee and find more of the high-spirited, lover of life she had been when she was Donna of Donna and the Dynamos. But her “recovery”, and the trio’s last moment re-visit to their hey day, provided a dazzling addition to the show’s finale, “Dancing Queen“.

Of course, the fun roles are the other two Dynamos, Jennifer Knox as Tanya and Sara Sevigny as Rosie. Scene stealers both! Show stoppers both!

Tanya’s “Does Your Mother Know” pushed all the bells and buttons, as well as the limits, in her cougar seduction of the “innocent” young Pepper, as perfectly played by Aaron Patrick Craven. If it hadn’t been so fiendishly

funny, the number would need an X rating.

Sara Sevigny is a very funny lady! Her comic sense throughout was marvelous; but her handling of “Take a Chance on Me” was one of the funniest numbers I’ve enjoyed in ages! It’s wonderful to see an actress who knows how to use her comedic talent to it’s very peak and own it. And her work was perfectly balanced by the talented Steve O’Conner as Bill. What a comedy climax (pun intended, of course.)

The three “lover/fathers”, though central to the plot, seem to be a bit overshadowed by the ladies. But each has wonderful moments, (e.g., Mr. O’Conner’s brilliant comic contribution to the afore mentioned “Take a Chance on Me”). Mr. Diebold’s (Sam) duet with Donna, “S.O.S.”, is one of the best numbers of the evening; and Harry‘s number with Donna, “Our Last Summer”, revealed Mr. Gillis’ superb voice, with just a wisp of British accent (loved his casual reference to “four weddings….and a funeral”). [Note: Mr. Gillis’ work with FWD, “Festival of Works in Development”, has become a vital new contribution to Chicago’s encouragement of new, developing musical theatre works.

Congratulations.]

Kevin Depinet’s revolving set captured the magnificent aura of a Mediterranean beach, and worked basically well, save for the high peripheral walkway around the back of the acting area, which often seemed contrived and awkwardly used. The abundance of projections was interesting and beautiful, but were somewhat over used, often drawing focus unnecessarily.

Costumes by the talented Matt Guthier were bright, tight and right, though sometimes pushing the glitz a bit. I loved the designs for both Ms. Knox and Ms. Sevigny; and especially Ms. Frumkin’s subtle Greek Goddess wedding dress and wreath.

I have previously been very impressed with the choreography of William Carlos Angulo; his West Side Story was inventive, new, strong, sometimes almost shocking.

Now perhaps he was trying to give Mamma Mia a similar new take. Much of the evening was fine; but the first big company number, “Money! Money! Money!“ just didn’t quite work for me. “Zombie stomping”, I wrote in the margin of my playbill. Thankfully, the rest of the show proved to be the exciting creative choreography expected from this artist.

Once again, let me urge our Stateline theatre lovers to take the pleasant drive down I-39 and east on I-88 to Aurora. The Paramount is their Coronado; but with a full schedule all year long.

Mamma Mia plays another six weeks, through October 30! It is so very worth the drive! For information, call 630-896-6666, or go online at ParamountAurora.com.

A Tube Talk Q&A with comedian Tom Cotter

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

C

omedian Tom Cotter made TV history when he appeared in the seventh season of America’s Got Talent. Not only because he lost to a dog, but because he was the first comedian to make it to the finals. You can see why he was a fan favorite when he performs this Saturday at the Rockford Theatre at 7 p.m. Prior to his appearance, we convinced Cotter to answer a few questions. Here’s what happened.

Q: You may have lost to a dog, but as the first comedian to make the finals of America’s Got Talent you set a record. What comedy or showbiz lessons did you take away from that experience?

Cotter: I learned a few things from that experience. I learned the shocking truth that sometimes America doesn’t vote correctly. I also learned that when W.C. Fields famously said, “Never try to follow a kid act or an animal act,” he wasn’t kidding.

I love dogs. I’ve always loved dogs. That has not changed one bit, although I did draft Michael Vick to my fantasy football team, but that is merely a coincidence. Soon, the truth will come out that the dogs that won AGT got their puppy treats from Lance Armstrong.

Then I will be declared the true winner, and all will be right with the world. I have no bitterness toward K9’s. Sure they won the entire million dollar prize, and they can lick themselves, but I’m not jealous or anything.

Q: How and why did you decide to audition for America’s Got Talent?

Cotter: I thought about auditioning for AGT every year, and agents, managers, club owners, and other comics would peer pressure me to audition every season, because my act is kind of rapid fire, and it is well suited for the 90 seconds they give you to perform.

The problem was that Piers Morgan was a judge on the show, and he seemed to hate American comedians. Every year he would be mean and borderline cruel to the comics on the show, and I blame him for the fact that no comic had ever made it past the quarterfi-

nals until Season No. 7, when I made it, and he was gone. Once Howard Stern replaced him on the judges panel, I decided that with Howie Mandel and Howard Stern on the panel I had a decent shot to make it at least to the quarter finals and maybe even the semi-finals. I had no idea that I could make it to the finals.

Q: Carving out a career in comedy can be grueling. Would you recommend participating in shows like America’s Got Talent to up-and-coming comics as a good way to get people to take notice?

Cotter: Absolutely! It was the best thing that I’ve ever done in my career. Comedians are usually relegated to late night TV or cable TV. AGT is not only a primetime ratings juggernaut, it is also on during the summer, so it is up against re-runs on other networks. We comics all do The Tonight Show, or The Late Show, Conan, etc…, but those audiences are dwarfed by the huge audience that AGT gets.

Anytime a comedian can get that much exposure, he/she should go for it. No question.

Q. What did the experience on the show do for your career?

Cotter: I’ve been a comedian for over a quarter of a century, and coming in second on AGT is far and away the best thing that has ever happened to me and my family. I always say the comedy is a dream job — if you dream of poverty and rejection. Because of AGT, and the amount of exposure it brings, I now get much better gigs, and my retirement plan is no longer based upon scratch tickets and finding buried treasure.

Q: When did you know you were destined to become a comedian?

Cotter: From conception. As an embryo, I knew I had a gift. I developed into a funny fetus. I would routinely tickle my mother’s internal organs and make her giggle. By the ninth month she very uncomfortable, and had very little sense of humor. That was a tough womb.

Q: How do you balance your live comedy shows with TV appearances?

Cotter: It’s not hard. I did a TV show

last night (Red Eye on Fox News Channel), and I’m on the road today. They are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the more TV you do, the more butts you get in seats at your live shows. AGT was my third reality show on NBC. I was also on Last Comic Standing, and I had a small part on Dateline: To Catch a Predator, but I don’t like to talk about that.

Q: What’s the funniest thing a heckler has yelled during one of your sets?

Cotter: “Woof!” I had another guy scream at me in Russian, and to this day I have no idea what he said.

Q: In one word, how would you describe your comedy style?

Cotter: Misdirection.

Q: Other than here at the Rockford Theater on September 24, where will be seeing you next?

Cotter: Rehab, I suppose. I’m a regular on “Red Eye” on the Fox News channel which you can see from the comfort of your own home, while lounging in your underwear. This fall I’ll be in Milwaukee, DC, Indianapolis, Denver, Las Vegas, NYC, and your dreams.

Commentary

The rise of a conspiracy candidate

By Lauren Griffin The Conversation

T

he political and social climate in the United States has become increasingly fertile ground for conspiracy theories.

Leading the charge is Donald Trump, a candidate who has promoted a laundry list of factually questionable theories, ranging from the idea that Antonin Scalia’s death may have been the result of foul play to his bizarre relationship with the birther movement, which questions President Obama’s birthplace.

Conspiracy theories are nothing new, of course.

From 12th-century anti-Semitic conspiracies to modern moon landing hoaxers, the rumor that people are being misled by groups of elites with ulterior motives has been swirling for centuries.

To be fair, people on all sides of the political spectrum can fall prey to these alluring theories.

One study, in fact, suggests that the type of thinking that is often associated with political extremism – a desire for simple solutions to complex problems – is also associated with a belief in conspiracy theories.

The problem is that conspiracy theories are dangerous.

Research suggests that exposure to these unorthodox ideas can influence how we see the world. For instance, in one experiment, participants who were shown a video that suggested that climate change is a hoax later expressed less confidence in the scientific consensus that climate change is real. Conspiracy theories can erode what we think we know about the world by promoting arguments based on poor evidence, evidence that’s been debunked or no evidence whatsoever. They can even be used to vilify entire groups of people and justify their mistreatment.

Social scientists have long been interested in conspiracy theories. Their research can help explain Trump’s rise – and why he seems so eager to embrace just about every conspiracy theory he’s ever heard.

One school of thought argues that the rise of conspiracy theories is an inevitable result of our increasingly complex and globalized society.

The famous sociologist Max Weber argued that modern society was characterized by rationalization, with systems like the global economy humming along seemingly on their own, driven by the rules of commerce. These systems are complicated and opaque, and even experts struggle to fully explain them. They’re also dehumanized; there is no real answer to the question, “Who’s in charge of the global economy?” The result is a state of anxiety where people feel as though their lives are being pulled along by forces beyond their control – stock markets, globalization and political parties that seem unresponsive to their needs.

One of the core facets of enlightened thought is that science can help us better understand how the world works. But not even science can save us from this anxiety about an increasingly complicated world. Increasingly specialized and technical, primary research is difficult for nonscientists to work through. Although Americans generally hold science in high regard, perceived doubt and disagreement between scientists can encourage people to become uncertain about issues that experts agree on.

Now, in fairness, science is a process of contention and continual revision. But modern media take these lab-room discussions and pump them out more than ever before. Things that are generally “settled” among scientists no longer seem like they are. Think again about how climate change is covered in the media, with a climate scientist on one side of the screen and a denier on the other. As these conflicts play out in full public view, the public becomes less certain about the truth.

For many people, then, science seems like it can no longer explain what’s going on in the world.

Conspiracy theories are our attempt to make sense of these complex world systems. They fill the

gaps where personal experience and science have failed us. Capitalizing on feelings of alienation and anxiety, they – and the politicians who promote them – create what historian Richard Hofstadter famously called “the paranoid style” of politics.

This style of politicking encourages people to believe that corrupt, shady elites and dark forces are conspiring to disenfranchise the masses.

The paranoid style and the proliferation of conspiracy theories are problematic because they make thoughtful deliberation over public issues impossible: Political opponents are not even talking about the same set of facts. But they become decidedly dangerous when combined with a process described by literary critic and philosopher Kenneth Burke as scapegoating.

Burke argues that scapegoating begins when people stop identifying with established social structures – like governments or political parties – leading to a sense of disorder within society.

This disorder causes people anxiety and the sense they can no longer control their own lives.

They feel guilty about their loss of place in the world and search for a way to alleviate that guilt.

The scapegoat provides that relief.

Politicians who scapegoat will identify political or social groups within society – racial or religious minorities, for instance – and spin a new story that places the blame for society’s ills on these minorities.

Unfortunately, this can have the effect of making those in the majority feel empowered.

Communications scholar Jaclyn Howell argues that the birther movement, which originated in articles on conservative websites in 2008 and was publicly promoted by Donald Trump in 2011, is a prime example of the scapegoating process in action.

Birthers, Howell argues, faced a loss of economic status during the 2008 financial crash, which created a sense of fear and guilt.

This discomfort led them “to explain all of the nation’s sins [and thus the social disorder of the times] by making the ‘foreign-born’ president the scapegoat.”

During the current campaign, we see scapegoating playing out again as Trump calls immigrants criminals, says first-generation Americans can’t serve as unbiased judges, says “there’s no way to tell” whether Syrian refugees are potential terrorists and says Black Lives Matter activists are encouraging violence against law

enforcement officers. Fingering these groups not only gives disenfranchised Americans someone to blame, it also empowers them by promising to punish these “others.”

In a sense, then, the success of candidates like Trump is the logical extension of the paranoid style and scapegoating. Scholarship suggests that people who feel close to their communities and feel that these communities are threatened are more likely to buy into conspiracy theories.

Likewise, people with extreme political views are more susceptible to conspiratorial beliefs.

Trump not only embraces many conspiracy theories – from the idea that Chair of the Federal Reserve Janet Yellen is keeping interest rates low at Obama’s request to claims that Hillary Clinton is planning on rigging the election – but he also presents his own radically simplified and anti-factual worldview to his supporters. He clarifies problems and promises to only tell the truth (“I will present the facts plainly and honestly,” he said in his acceptance speech), while at the same time exposing the liars and thieves and punishing them (hence the calls to imprison Hillary Clinton).

Claiming he is an arbiter of truth gives him permission to spread misinformation, whether it’s telling Americans that the Obama administration is covering up the “real” unemployment rate or assuring voters that Muslims cheered on September 11.

The fact that his claims are seldom truthful (PolitiFact ranked a whopping 54 percent of his statements as “False” or “Pants on Fire”) is beside the point.

Meanwhile, his campaign surrogates actively encourage people to accept their feelings as facts (Newt Gingrich famously said in an interview that “The average American does not think crime is down, does not think they are safer,” despite myriad statistics showing crime rates are down). He continues to hint that something very concerning is going on with Hillary Clinton’s health.

In an environment where people are mistrustful of expertise and knowledge, Donald Trump can easily thrive. Many feel insecure due to economic and social changes in society; many are seeking a narrative that makes sense of the world.

And they are particularly fond of narratives that not only validate their sense of powerlessness, but promise to correct it.

What’s keeping Democrats awake at night?

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

T

he Republicans have been saying behind the scenes that they have put four Democratic state Senators “on the bubble”—Tom Cullerton in DuPage County, Melinda Bush in Lake County, Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant in Will County and Gary Forby in deep southern Illinois.

Understandably, Senate President John Cullerton does not agree.

“If it wasn’t for Donald Trump maybe four would be on the bubble,” Cullerton told me the other day.

Cullerton claimed that the one-two punch of Trump and Gov. Bruce Rauner was hurting Republicans in contested districts everywhere. “Downstate, Trump’s popular,” he admitted, “But Rauner’s not.” In Sen. Forby’s heavily targeted district, Cullerton said, “Rauner’s hated down there.”

People in Forby’s district may have voted for Rauner two years ago, but, in reality, Cullerton claimed, “They were voting against Pat Quinn.” And

the same goes, he said, for the contested neighboring open seat race currently held by retiring Sen. Dave Luechtefeld (R-Okawville).

In the suburbs, Cullerton said, Rauner and Trump are both very unpopular, “Maybe Trump is a bit more unpopular,” he averred. But that still works to the Democrats’ advantage, Cullerton said.

Noting that his operation only surveys contested “swing” districts, Cullerton claimed that the governor’s poll numbers are “underwater everywhere.” And while Rauner “picked up a few points” after the governor and the General Assembly agreed to a stopgap budget in June, Rauner’s “job performance is still way underwater.”

Cullerton did not share any specific numbers, but what he said matches with what I’ve been hearing from others, including a few Republicans.

And that may also be part of the reason why Rauner continues to tell reporters that he isn’t much involved in legislative campaigns, even

though GOP sources say he is involved. Personally interviewing candidates to replace retired state Sen. Matt Murphy (R-Palatine) along with his former chief of staff as well as what appears to be his favorite adviser John Tillman of the Illinois Policy Institute was more than just a clue that his interest approaches granularity levels. Admitting to actually being heavily involved would result in news stories about how he’s strongly influencing specific local races, however.

The Republicans have been tying House Speaker Michael Madigan to Democrats in both chambers in their mail and in their TV ads, but the Senate President claimed “The Madigan stuff doesn’t rub off on Democratic candidates,” then backed up a bit to say he was only familiar with polling for Senators and Senate candidates. “It doesn’t work on the Senators,” he said.

But, what if he’s wrong? What if Rauner’s vast wealth and his field operation manage to break through the extreme white noise of a presidential election and the

Republicans do actually pick off several Democratic seats?

Well, a million dollars spent on Chicago broadcast TV ads hasn’t managed to propel Rep. Michael McAuliffe (R-Chicago) over 50 percent, according to the Republicans’ own polling, and his margin has actually shrunk since July. President Obama won McAuliffe’s district in 2012 by eight points, 53-45, according to data compiled by pollster We Ask America.

Structural presidential year turnout like that is very difficult to overcome, and that includes those Senate races.

Still, I’ve been asking Democratic operatives lately what is keeping them awake at night, and they’ve all had about the same basic answer.

Targeted legislative races can often be decided by just a handful of votes. Rep. Kate Cloonen (D-Kankakee) is the most extreme example of this, winning by an average of about 100 votes the last two cycles.

Rep. Mike Smiddy (D-Hillsdale) won his 2014 race by 314 votes. Former Democratic Rep. Frank Mautino won his

last race two years ago by 337 votes.

The biggest potential problem is the unpredictability of Donald Trump’s supporters.

Some Dems believe his support is actually higher than the polls are currently showing.

And in any given district, five hundred (or even fewer) Trump backers who rarely vote and therefore haven’t been personally contacted much, if at all, by either side could decide to head to the polls on election day and then continue supporting Republican candidates straight down the ticket and create some upsets.

Gov. Rauner’s unprecedented campaign spending and his emphasis on a ground game along with Trump’s huge popularity with white working class voters (who dominate all of the Democrats’ contested Downstate districts) are making this presidential cycle extremely unusual and, to an extent, unpredictable. So, no matter what Cullerton says, the Democrats are worried that they may actually lose some seats.

Vote your conscience

By Nancy Churchill Guest Contributor

I

call myself a Berniecrat. I will vote for Hillary Clinton in November, intending to Occupy the Democratic party. “[Bernie] Sanders has shown us a way to work within the Democratic Party,” says Thomas Frank, author of What’s the Matter with Kansas? and Listen Liberal, in the September issue of The Progressive (progressive.org).

Bernie went up against a Democratic establishment Frank calls the “liberalism of the rich” (“in love with its own virtue”), embroiled in a “global virtue exchange” like that of the Middle Ages when you could purchase forgiveness for your sins. The Clintons are heavily invested in this crusade which brings together the very richest people on the planet and those from the “very bottom

of the global pyramid,” while overlooking working-class Americans entirely.

This Democratic establishment and Sanders’ followers are poles apart.

If Clinton is elected, Frank says, her longstanding connections will ensure that everyone in that establishment will move up a notch. But Sanders was of no value to them – as president he’d likely replace them all.

Conversely, Sanders’ followers are cynical of a Clinton presidency. Suspicions abound that, after this marginal figure came unimaginably close to defeating the quintessential establishment candidate, it took manipulating the primaries to vanquish him. They’re loath to reward her for that. They’d rather write him in, or vote for Jill Stein.

Here’s why I won’t: with Hillary in the White House we have a chance to get what

we couldn’t under Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Yes, she has flaws – everybody does.

Her less than stellar oratory convinces some that she’s inauthentic and untrustworthy.

But oratorical gifts persuaded us those other presidents would govern on our behalf, yet the “consensus” deals they made with Republicans have been disastrous. This primary was such a close call that Hillary knows how badly she needs us, and that’s our strength.

The things we need – election integrity (paper ballots), a $15-an-hour minimum wage, free college, Wall Street reforms, union rights, a place at the trade negotiating table, and much more – will never be addressed

by Republicans engaging in blatant voter suppression under the phony guise of fixing nonexistent “voter fraud.”

We won’t get those things under Clinton,

either, unless we demand them. Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Frank’s book What’s the Matter with Kansas?, written over 10 years ago, is about people with no power – working-class conservatives – taking over the Republican Party by organizing, going door to door, and “doing all the things that you learn in civics class that you’re supposed to do in a democracy.” Unfortunately, the results have been anything but democratic: Republicans have “done terrible things” with their power. “But the way [the grass roots] took over that party from that sort of rich, country-club set that used to run it, that’s kind of inspiring.

There’s no reason that our kind of people couldn’t do exactly the same thing.”

That’s the call to arms for every single Bernie supporter. Let’s get to it!

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: Mercury retrograde will go direct on Thursday, September 22; however, the after shadow will continue until October 6. In either case the energy will be visibly lighter and opportunities for growth and development are evident. Venus moves into Scorpio September 23-October 18, this is a very passionate time frame where half-hearted efforts just won’t do. With Scorpio it’s all or nothing. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Romance may start out a bit bumpy this week. However, by week’s end the tables have turned in your favor for the better. Sometimes we need to clear the air a bit before we can move forward into a deeper level of commitment.

Once you have these aspects in alignment there will be no stopping you from obtaining your goals, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Business can be a bit demanding early on this week, yet there are significant improvements that arrive as a result of it. An impromptu gathering will provide you with new connections for love as well as business. Make sure you are stepping out there and accepting invitations to socialize this week. Be cautious of the neck and back during this time. You cannot afford to be laid up with this hectic schedule ahead, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — An unusual turn of events with your personal life leaves you blown away and filled with possibilities this week. Slow down now and allow this to develop to its full potential. If you try to rush this it will only create more delays. A love interest from your past will surface this month. Expect the unexpected, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — You’re able to clear up an unresolved issue regarding affairs of the heart during this lunar cycle.

This puts your mind at ease and opens the door for new opportunities in the future.

Meanwhile, your career sector continues to grow and develop at a fever pitch. Your co-workers will be singing your praises by week’s end, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Romance starts to heat up midweek in the best possible light. The stagnation you’ve experienced recently is now breaking loose, allowing you to get to the heart of the matter. Leave the past behind, do not bring up old wounds now or you will never get the chance to move in the right direction. The weekend provides you with tender moments to cherish, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Don’t push a sore subject at your significant other this week unless you want your head handed to you on a platter. It would be best to attempt to build a foundation with the positive ele-

ments that you have with your relationship.

There will be plenty of time down the road to address your concerns, now is not the time.

A gentle approach and acknowledgment of your love is all it takes this week, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Romance is loud and clear for you now even though you may not have it entirely aligned. Allow another to come to you as a whole being as opposed to trying to help them become whole. This is not your job, when you try to fix another you end up getting hurt. You are desirable, all eyes are on you. Go for it, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Once you overcome this obstacle you can move forward in a new direction. This hurry up and wait energy is getting on your last nerve and causing anxiety. Rome wasn’t built in a day and patience has never been a virtue of yours. Remember that timing is everything.

Love finds a way to conquer all, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — You may feel like stepping back from a loved one, now would not be the time. Let all emotions play out for a while. Is it possible that you’re trying to fix or change them into what you think they need to be? Remember, we are all a work in progress. If we lead by example others will follow suit, Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Romance may have left you with little to be desired early on this week. However, the fireworks have yet to be displayed. This weekend promises to be one to remember for you and your loved ones. Enjoy life’s little pleasures now. An unexpected phone call provides a ton of information. Keep this to yourself for now, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — It may be time to have a heart-to-heart talk with your loved one about their emotional state. If you go about this in a gentle manner you will get the best results. A reality check may be best for both of you now. Remember there is still a lot of love underneath the surface of all of these fears. By week’s end you will begin to see results, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Finances are in tip-top shape this week. You are moving into an extremely busy time frame filled with prosperity. Your personal life begins to improve as well. Recent emotional stress has put a damper on your ability to receive love.

You’re a hot commodity in the months to come, Pisces.

Voices from the Grave

Halloween events offer opportunities for spine chilling fun

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

Haunted Rockford is Rockford’s only Historical Haunted Tour Company. They sponsor haunted tours, paranormal investigations, live gallery readings, and other events year-round at locations in and around Rockford. Check out the entire October Schedule at hauntedrockford.com.

Upcoming events through Haunted Rockford include:

Paranormal Investigation of Tinker Swiss Cottage Friday, September 23, 7-11 p.m.

411 Kent Street, Rockford

Haunted Rockford is partnering with renowned Ghost Investigator Dale Kaczmarek and his Ghost Research Society (GHS) to investigate this exciting location. There have been many claims to paranormal experiences in this historic home and it was featured on the SyFy Channel’s Ghost Hunters paranormal show. Guests will meet up for the investigation at the barn. We will travel through four “hot spots” in an actual paranormal investigation. Kathi Kresol will share the history of the houses and details of the ghostly encounters and then team members from GHS will show you how to operate their equipment. Guests may also bring their own equipment to use on the investigation.

The price for this event is $40 per person and must be paid in advance online at hauntedrock-

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

E

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 a banner year for industry in a blossoming river town.

ford.com. If you need to make other arrangements please contact Kathi at 815-871-4239.

Pre-Conference Event (Do not have to be an attendee at the conference to join us)

Haunted Rockford’s Dark History Bus Tour Friday, September 30 (Other dates: October 8, 28) 7-10 p.m.

Come experience Rockford’s Dark History!

Online crooks are watching you What you say and do can open the door to a rip-off

potential scam targets.

Better Business Bureau

T

here are millions of individuals visiting social media sites every day – they are on sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram dozens of time a day.

With that much activity the sites are fertile ground for scammers.

Unfortunately, consumers often don’t think about the serious problems they can encounter. Additionally, they may ignore the need to adjust privacy setting on these sites, which is important to do to protect themselves. Consumers also innocently give away important information about themselves; what they are doing and where they are which plays into the hands of crooks.

Scammers spend their days scanning social media sites to look for clues that will open the way to rip-off their next victim. That fact is not top of mind for most consumers but it should be. Consumers, need to think twice and review how and what they post.

So what do scammers do that can put individuals online at risk?

“Like” harvesting

Scammers get victims to “like,” “share,” or repost postings. They pose as a wellknown company offering the chance to win a big prize, to anyone who shares or likes the post. The scammer accumulates thousands of followers and then sells the social media identity he created, complete with followers, to another company for their own marketing purposes.

Protection: Most share to win posts are scams – Don’t do it – the result could be that you end up on a “suckers” list of

Distress calls

Because they are tracking your posts scammers look for information that allows them to pretend to be you and they then contact relative claiming to be in trouble and need money. They may even say they are kidnappers and are holding you for ransom.

Protection: Think before you post and make sure your privacy settings only allow selected people to see your post. Make sure you prevent access to friends of friends.

Break ins

Protection: Again, Don’t do it. Think about whether you need to tell everyone every time you leave home.

on attachments inside an email. Instead, go directly to the social media site and check your account details there.

Malware onto your PC

Scammers use fake links to products and services, often promoted as bargains or prizes. After following the links viruses and spyware are uploaded onto the victim’s computer.

Protection: Think if it seems too good to be true – it probably is. In some cases, the offer may actually be real but look for red flags like clickable links that may signal a scam. Also make sure your security software is up to date.

Seed saving: getting started

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

The first frost in the area in the next couple of weeks means that the summer garden is over. Most of the warm season crops cannot withstand these temperatures although many cool season plants will keep on growing just fine. While you are shutting down your garden, this is a good time to save those seeds for next year.

There are a couple reasons you might save seeds. Some people will do it to save money as it means they won’t have to purchase these seeds again. Others like that seed saving can be a challenge to see if what you save this season grows well the next year.

Heirloom and open-pollinated seeds can be saved quite easily for next year. The use of the words “heirloom” and “open-pollinated” are fairly interchangeable as both mean that if you save the seeds from what you grew this year, next year’s crop will be true to type. A hybrid seed will not be true to type and you cannot save these seeds to expect the same features you got this season.

Not all seeds are easy to save. Your easiest ones are pepper, tomato, eggplant, beans, and members of the squash family. All of these are bigger seeds that can be harvested and cleaned properly for storage. This is also the reason there are many more heirloom

varieties of these plant families available as it’s quite easy for the backyard gardener to pass on the seeds to family members and friends.

Most of the Brassica family (broccoli, kale, kohlrabi), radish, chard, and others are harder to save. The reason for this is that many of them are biennial plants that require two growing seasons to complete their life cycle.

Year one is the vegetative growth followed by reaching full maturity-seed production the second year. These plants need a cold period of time called vernalization in order to properly flower.

When considering seed saving, you want to first make sure you’ve got an open-pollinated or heirloom variety in your garden.

This will be one of the main features you need to know. The last thing you need is to save seeds of a hybrid variety that won’t grow well next season. Secondly, you want to make sure the plant did not have any disease that can overwinter. Blackish discoloration on the seeds will denote this but still important to properly diagnose any type of disease on the foliage to make sure.

Next week, I’ll get into the basics of tools and tips for seed saving.

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

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

The Dearly Departed Sisters got the Asian Food bug from Sister #3, Akiko Tanaka, my sister Gert’s Japanese roommate in college, hence adopted by our mother. I called Kiko “Rabbit” because she ate so much salad. She called me “Skunk” because I was “a little stinker.” Actually, I

think Ma picked up the Chinese food habit from when she lived in Chicago in the 30s and 40s. During the 60’s and 70s, Rockford didn’t have any Japanese restaurants, so Ma used to frequent the Royal Dragon at Mulford and East State, which was surrounded by corn fields to the east at that time. Here’s to lost good times and recipes that remind us...

Soil management may stabilize yields in face of climate change

By Lauren Quinn U of I News Bureau

URBANA – How will we feed our growing population in the face of an increasingly extreme climate? Many experts suggest the answer lies in breeding novel crop varieties that can withstand the increases in drought, heat, and extreme rainfall events predicted in the not-too-distant future. But breeding is only part of the equation, according to new research from the University of Illinois and several collaborating institutions across the Midwest.

“It might not be necessary to put all the stress of climate adaptation and mitigation on new varieties. Instead, if we can manage agroecosystems more appropriately, we can buffer some of the effects of climate instability,” says U of I and USDA Agricultural Research Service ecologist Adam Davis.

To find the management tool that could ameliorate the effects of climate instability, Davis and his collaborators had to go beyond the traditional field-scale experiment. “We had to think at a much broader spatial scale,” he notes.

The team obtained weather, soil, and yield data from every county in four states—Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania— across a span of 15 years. They then used a new analytical approach, which borrowed from economic concepts, to determine the effects of weather and soil properties on maize yield.

“The things that were most effective at buffering against the different forms of yield instability were soil organic matter and water holding capacity,” Davis says. This pattern was true across all years and all study locations.

Greater water holding capacity, which

increases with more soil organic matter, gives crops an advantage in hot, dry climates. They can continue to take up water from the soil, which means continued growth and strong yields even in adverse climates.

The good news for farmers is that they may be able to manage for improvements in water holding capacity, giving them a potential tool to support novel maize varieties. “In locations with coarse soils, you can see really quick and gratifying responses to soil organic matter amendments,” Davis says.

Davis suggests a number of practices to increase soil organic matter, including using cover crops, avoiding excessive soil disturbance, increasing crop rotation length, and adding composted manures. He points out that cover crops might be the best choice for some farmers.

“Cover crops are a great way for improving

soil organic matter; even small amounts of cover crop biomass seem to have soil organic matter benefits,” Davis explains. “They also can have weed suppressive benefits, so cover crops may represent a win-win scenario.”

No matter which amendment practice farmers choose, he says, “soil organic matter amendments are an important place to start building a cropping system resilient to climate change.”

The study, “Soil water holding capacity mitigates downside risk and volatility in US rainfed maize: Time to invest in soil organic matter?” is published in the journal PLOS One. Funding was provided by the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative of the USDA’s National Institute for Food and Agriculture. The full article is accessible at the journal’s website, journals.plos.org.

Anticipating changes in corn and soybean production forecasts

By Debra Levey-Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Following the release of the USDA’s September Crop Production report, market discussion immediately turned to the likely size of the final corn and soybean production estimates to be released in January. According to a University of Illinois agricultural economist, those estimates will reflect possible changes in both yield and acreage estimates.

Darrel Good provides a historical perspective that may help in anticipating changes this year.

“For corn, the Sept. 12 Crop Production report forecast a crop of 15.903 billion bushels, reflecting an average yield of 174.4 bushels on harvested acreage of 86.55 million acres,” Good says. “The yield and production forecasts are slightly smaller than the August forecasts and the acreage estimate is based on the USDA’s June Agricultural Survey. In the previous 20 years, the U.S. average corn yield estimate released in January after harvest exceeded the September forecast 14 times and was less than the September forecast six times.”

Good says the January estimate exceeded the September forecast 70 percent of the time regardless of whether the September forecast was above (10 years) or below (10 years) the August forecast.

“If the analysis is extended to the previous 40 years, the January corn yield estimate exceeded the September forecast 68 percent of the time, 27 years,” Good says. “However, the January estimate exceeded the September forecast 80 percent of the time when the September forecast equaled or exceeded the August forecast (20 years), and only 55 percent of the time when the September forecast was smaller than the August forecast (20 years), as was the case this year.”

For soybeans, Good says the September

report forecast a crop of 4.201 billion bushels, reflecting an average yield of 50.6 bushels on harvested acreage of 83.037 million acres. The yield and production forecasts are larger than the August forecasts and the acreage estimate is based on the USDA’s June Agricultural Survey. In the previous 20 years, the U.S. average soybean yield estimate released in January after harvest exceeded the September forecast 11 times and was less than the September forecast nine times.

The January estimate exceeded the September forecast 67 percent of the time when the September forecast was above the August forecast (nine times), as was the case this year, but only 55 percent of the time when the September forecast was below the August forecast (11 years).

“If the analysis is extended to the previous 40 years, the January soybean yield estimate exceeded the September forecast 58 percent of the time (23 years),” Good says. “However, the January estimate exceeded the September forecast 65 percent of the time when the September forecast exceeded the August forecast (20 years) and 50 percent of the time when the September forecast was smaller than the August forecast (20 years).”

In the case of acreage, the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) final estimate of planted and harvested acreage will be based on the December Agricultural Survey as well as administrative data, primarily planted acreage reported to the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) by producers participating in commodity programs. Those administrative data are used by NASS beginning with the October Crop Production report.

“Because the FSA acreage data are used to supplement the NASS survey estimates, there has been a consistent relationship between the final NASS planted acreage estimates and the final FSA acreage estimates,” Good says. “Because

all farms do not participate in farm programs, final NASS planted acreage estimates exceed acreage reported to FSA. In the nine years from 2007 through 2015, the NASS planted acreage estimates for corn exceeded acreage reported to FSA by an average of 3.4 percent, in a range of 2.6 to 4.7 percent. The difference was between 3.0 and 3.5 percent in seven of the nine years. For soybeans, the NASS planted acreage estimates exceeded acreage reported to FSA by an average of 1.8 percent, in a range of 1.2 to 3 percent.”

The FSA releases monthly summaries of cumulative producer acreage reports beginning in August and concluding in January. “The September report this year showed very small increases in corn and soybean acreage compared to the August report,” Good says. “This suggests that acreage reporting is occurring in a very timely fashion and is likely near completion. For corn, the NASS June estimate of planted acreage is 3.5 percent larger than acreage reported to FSA so far this year. For soybeans the NASS acreage estimate is 2.1 percent larger than acreage reported

to FSA. The relationship between current NASS and FSA planted acreage estimates are already within the range of the final relationship in the previous nine years.”

What is to be concluded from this historical perspective?

“First, available evidence suggests that the NASS final estimate of planted, and therefore harvested, acreage will not differ appreciably from the current estimates for either corn or soybeans,” Good says. “Second, the more recent, 20 years, historical pattern of changes in yield forecasts from September to January suggests slightly higher odds for January corn and soybean yield estimates to exceed the September forecasts than to be below the September forecasts. The longer history, 40 years also suggests higher odds of a soybean yield increase, but reflects more of a toss-up for corn yield changes. It seems unlikely, however, that production estimates for either crop will change enough to materially alter the projected supply and consumption balance for the 2016-17 marketing year.”

Realizing the Cubs’ uncelebrated depth

By James Fegan Contributor

T

he Cubs not only have the best team in baseball in 2016, but they might have the most versatile and effective crop of position players seen in the last decade.

This is a group so loaded with weapons that they came into the year pondering a left field platoon of Kyle Schwarber and Jorge Soler.

Injuries robbed them of the former for the year and have limited the latter to 256 plate appearances, but it might have just opened them up to do more with what they still had left in house afterward.

They can carry three catchers on the roster because their most promising hitter at the position and the best man for stopping the running game – Wilson Contreras – can also slide into an outfield corner. As can third baseman Kris Bryant, as can second baseman Ben Zobrist, and it doesn’t really matter who does, because live-bat super-utility man Javier Baez can play any position on the infield dirt.

That revolving cast of contributors allows the Cubs to plug in more offense if they want to spell Jason Heyward; who is still an otherwordly defensive right fielder but suffering through a career-worst year on the plate. Even with paltry offense, Heyward still makes himself useful since he’s more than capable of covering center field if Dexter Fowler needs a night off.

Having that many options is a dream for a manager, especially for one as freewheeling and aggressive as Joe Maddon, and allows for ample rest, days off, and addressing

whatever comes from the infinite wave of silly needs that a 162-game season brings. But now the time that everyone knew was coming for the Cubs since they first started carving through the league in April, is finally at hand.

The playoffs hardly make depth and versatility irrelevant, but they reduce it to just another tool, rather than a weight with which they can lean on and wear down opponents like a boxer. No one expects the Cubs to roll with one lineup throughout the playoffs like the White Sox did during their World Series run in 2005, but the playoffs call for a consolidation of sorts. The rest and recuperation benefits of a deep roster are gone, and all that matters is the right guy plays at the right time.

Jon Lester has thrown three innings this season to someone other than David Ross, and likely won’t be adding to that total in the playoffs.

Miguel Montero, who said he feared he might be released at one point this season, has a quiet, crafty and framing-conscious presence behind the plate that has paired well with the occasionally erratic Jake Arrieta, and has actually slightly out-hit Wilson Contreras since the start of July.

Montero’s struggles are mostly contained to left-handed pitching this year, so he and Contreras can comfortably complement one another for playing time depending on the opposing starter. It’s rare these days a postseason roster even carries three catchers, but the Cubs could start that many in the first round.

Platoons could be the key to

figuring out the Cubs outfield as well, but within reason. As much as Heyward has struggled, it’s unlikely the Cubs will suddenly decide his defense doesn’t justify his bat in October. The Cubs’ grinding lineup gets all the glory, but this team is secretly powered by a historically great defense, and shouldn’t toss that aside to tinker with their No. 7 hitter too much. That said, Heyward and his sub-.300 slugging percentage against lefties could be

the impetus to get Baez into the lineup and push Zobrist or Bryant to the outfield, even if they lead to Heyward and Albert Amora coming on as defensive replacements later on.

The brevity of the playoffs means that the Cubs could put all their interlocking pieces in the best positions to succeed and still be vulnerable to Daniel Murphy morphing into Reggie Jackson (or just 2016 Daniel Murphy), and

perhaps even after they make the World Series, and put out a lineup with a designated hitter in an AL park, they’ll still be sitting a player their opposition would start on any given night. But as far as curses go, the curse of too many good players is one they should gladly embrace.

Festivities, hard work begin for Cubs

By Cat Garcia Contributor

T

he division-clinching celebration may have been delayed by a day in Wrigleyville after an abrupt loss last Thursday night, but that didn’t stop it from being an exciting one. The loss on Thursday at Wrigley Field kept the Cubs magic number at one for just a few more hours, yet Wrigleyville was alive as ever. Cubs fans patiently awaited the outcome of the Cardinals vs. Giants game that evening that would decide if the fate of the Cubs division title would be automatically won late that night or potentially on the field on Friday afternoon.

As the Cardinals lost, Wrigleyville erupted, and the anticipation of the celebration that was to ensue postgame on Friday despite the outcome of the game was strong.

Though the outcome of the Cubs game would not determine anything meaningful, this team did what they do best and found a way to make it as exciting as possible, taking Friday’s contest into the 10th inning before Miguel Montero hit a walk-off home run to kick off the festivities.

“I don’t think it’s a good feeling when you lose and you celebrate,” Montero told reporters after the win. “It worked out pretty good didn’t it?”

Business was as normal for the Cubs on Saturday, despite a few unfamiliar faces taking the field for the final set of games against the Brewers in the two clubs final meetings of the season. The Cubs lost the series, dropping 3 of 4 to Milwaukee, but with the slam bang week that was had in Wrigleyville, the Northsiders could afford to chalk up a few extra loses as the feeling of being the first team of 2016 to win their division sunk in.

The Cubs will close out their series with the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday before taking a much needed off day on Thursday.

The final series of the regular season will begin on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field against the St. Louis Cardinals with Friday and Sunday night’s contests both being featured on ESPN. • On the South Side, as the odds of the White Sox making even a brief appearance in October become less and less likely, individual players are still able to take stock in their accomplishments as they prepare for the offseason.

As Jose Abreu’s slump becomes a distant memory, the White Sox slugger is seeking to complete his third straight season as a member of the 30/100 club. Through Tuesday, Abreu had 96 RBIs and 25 home runs with just 11 games left to play in the season. Abreu is hitting .300/.353/.484 on the season.

Another White Sox slugger is looking to accomplish a similar feat as well. First year White Sox third basemen Todd Frazier currently has the most home runs and RBIs of any season of his career this season, with a handful of games left to play. Frazier will attempt to make the milestone of the 40/100 club, through Tuesday he had 37 home runs and 93 RBIs on the season.

If anything has been a bright light on the south side recently, it’s been the White Sox pitching staff. Chris Sale threw his sixth complete game on Friday night, an MLB season high as well as the most complete games of Sale’s career. However, for the fourth straight outing, Sale got the loss as the White Sox were not able to offer him adequate run support.

Carlos Rodon has recently emerged as a strong member of this White Sox rotation with the addition of a good changeup to his regular repertoire. Despite having two poor outings in a row, the future still looks bright for Rodon and the White Sox. Rodon currently has a 4.29 ERA on the season with a 4.24 FIP. The White Sox will continue their final

road trip of the season with an interleague series against Philadelphia before heading out to Cleveland for their final three-game set with the Indians after an off day on Thursday.

From Back Cover

Chicago’s quarterback without his right thumb can’t grip the ball or be an effective playmaker behind a shoddy offensive line.

Chicago’s offense without its quarterback, as the Bears now turn to back-up Brian Hoyer, may turn into a complete train wreck.

It’s completely understated how much Cutler masks this team’s deficiencies and pushed them to seem like they were more competent than they really were. The other injuries pale in comparison to defining what this season may ultimately become without Cutler. If these Bears offense doesn’t have Cutler-who have an inexperienced and currently struggling offensive coordinator in Dowell Loggains and one playmaker on offense in Jeffery-then Chicago will be in line for a top-five pick in next year’s draft in May. There they potentially will be looking for a new quarterback should the opportunity arise.

What was once a career of promise with the Bears eight seasons ago, becomes a classic Shakespearean tragedy for Cutler and everyone involved.

So it’s fitting that on Cutler’s last play of the game on Monday where he threw an interception, that currently sidelined Pernell McPhee felt the need to angrily confront him. For all of the Bears’ struggles in the past near-decade, Jay Cutler has been at fault for many of their problems, but not all. Yet, he’s been the convenient scapegoat for all of this organization’s worries by fans and other pundits alike.

Debate McPhee’s place-a player currently on the physically unable to perform list-in criticizing Cutler all you want. McPhee, a captain, felt the need to place the blame again on Chicago’s favorite quarterback. That’s out of line and speaks of a locker room tearing apart at the seams. McPhee is that fan or pundit refusing to see the truth of what’s really going on.

Fox made light of the situation saying, “We’re a family so we do have arguments and frustrations.”

Yes, families have disagreements, but not like that on national television. Not when you as the coach are supposed to be a symbol of stability of a rebuilding team with everything in-house.

Two weeks ago, discussions were abound about how much the second-year Fox would improve the Bears and have them moving along the right track. Instead, it’s time to play every young guy and see who is a valuable commodity on the roster. With a roll of the dice, all of the goodwill is gone.

And what to make of the Bears now?

Well, we’re only seven months away from next year’s draft.

Week 3 @ Dallas Cowboys

In an NFL scheduling quirk, the Bears have a quick turnaround amid this chaos on national television again as they head to Dallas for ‘Sunday Night Football.’

When the Bears are on defense: Rookie

quarterback Dak Prescott looks like the real deal. With long-time starter Tony Romo injured, Prescott has stepped in admirably behind the league’s best offensive line and hasn’t missed much of a beat considering how he was pressed into action.

An 83.1 quarterback rating is something you would normally shrug your shoulders at, but Prescott has shown composure in guiding an offense he has little experience with. He’s thrown no touchdown passes but he also hasn’t thrown an interception, so he hasn’t made a soul-crushing mistake. That’s translated to a current 1-1 Dallas team that could very well be undefeated save for a bounce here or there.

Prescott should be applauded for keeping the ship together.

It’s tough to predict who sees the field for the Bears defense given the laundry list of injuries, and that doesn’t bode well against one of the best offensive fronts in the league, if not the best. With Chicago’s offense in shambles, the Bears defense is going to have step up more than before, but that facet is difficult with so many moving parts.

If Chicago can have movement up front defensively against the dominant Dallas line to shutdown a running attack from Ezekiel Elliot, they’ll have a chance to rattle Prescott.

Guys like Willie Young and Leonard Floyd have to consistently win one-on-one battles pass rushing. That’s even more difficult a task to ask against left tackle Tyron Smith and company, but it’s the only way to prevent a long night.

When the Bears are on offense: With Brian Hoyer likely in tow, the Bears offense is now equipped to play to not lose the game.

Hoyer is adequate when everything around him is going swimmingly. When things are chaotic, the situation can get disastrous as it did for him in last year’s playoffs against the Chiefs. Given the state of the Bears offensive line and lack of playmakers, it’s safe to lean towards the latter.

In all fairness, there’s nothing to write home about with the Dallas defense. There aren’t any true impact players save for linebacker Sean Lee or corner Orlando Scandrick. The Cowboys don’t have the same pass rushing that the Eagles or Texans possessed either. So the Bears might have a shot here.

If the Bears commit to a semblance of the running game then they have a chance on Sunday night; 36 attempts between two games is no-where near enough. Jordan Howard showed some burst on Monday.

Let him take over the game. And if they stay ahead of the chains to not put Hoyer in precarious third-and-long situations, the Bears offense may surprise against a mediocre Dallas defense.

But that’s asking a lot of “what-ifs” from an offense with no identity, cohesion, or leadership at the moment.

Early pick: Cowboys 26 Bears 10 Robert Zeglinski is a staff writer for SB Nation and managing editor at No Coast Bias.

On the ropes Bears campaign done before it started after Monday night laugher

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

T

he NFL can be such a fickle league.

Games and momentum turn on single plays and mistakes. An injury, or bevy of them in combination, can derail a season. When applying these principles to the current Bears, all you can do is just solemnly nod your head in agreement.

In the Bears’ listless 29-14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night at home, there wasn’t much room to discern any hope post-game. Every metaphorical haymaker and left hook took a solid shot out of an organization that’s no doubt searching for answers at the moment. The Bears are now 1-9 at home in the last two seasons.

As was the story with the Texans in the opener, Chicago actually hung around and competed relatively with their opponent in

the first half. A 9-7 score at the break tells the tale of two evenly matched teams. But signs of the dam breaking were there as were other unforeseen dire complications.

When the first two plays of the game feature a no-gain carry by Jeremy Langford and then Jay Cutler being absolutely torn apart by a free blitz on a sack leading to an eventual quick three-and-out, it might as well have been a premonition.

Fast-forward to your next possession featuring an offense in rhythm that stalls in the red zone forcing your kicker Connor Barth, to make a chip shot field goal. Of course, given the current turn of events, he “doinks” it off of the left upright. Finally, after your defense makes stop after stop in the red zone keeping you alive, and your only consistent offense-a jump ball to Alshon Jeffery-leads

to an eventual touchdown from Langford to take the lead 7-3, all hell breaks loose. And that’s putting it lightly.

There are game-changing plays and there are franchise-changing games.

Philadelphia would outscore Chicago 20-7 in the second half, as the Bears have now been outscored 33-7 overall in the second stanza.

But it wasn’t about how Philadelphia took control to win this game. The credit still goes to a franchise currently on the upswing that looks like has found its franchise quarterback in rookie Carson Wentz. It was about how the Bears fell apart with in fighting and the unfortunate injury to insult.

Your two starting safeties, Harold Jones-Quartey and Adrian Amos, as well as nickelback Bryce Callahan, would at some point go through concussion protocol and not return save for Jones-Quartey.

Lamarr Houston, a solid outside linebacker firmly in your front seven rotation-who tore his ACL in the 2014 season-injures his knee on a pass rush with something that head coach John Fox calls “substantial.”

Eddie Goldman, the young nose tackle and lynchpin of the defense at this rate, turns his ankle well after the game was over with the Eagles leading 22-7 in the red zone and ready to punch in another score. Goldman was carted off and seen in a walking boot after the game. It’s reported he “only” has a high ankle

sprain, which is relative good news for the Bears considering how the injury looked in real time when they carted him off. The bad news, well, he’s still going to miss significant time after also working through a high ankle sprain last season.

Oh, and starting linebacker Danny Trevathan will have thumb surgery, the leader of your defense.

Finally, the final punch in the gut, a significant injury to Cutler’s thumb on his throwing hand.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Cutler suffered a torn ligament in said thumb in the loss to the Texans. After last night’s beating-which culminated in him aggravating it, the prospects look bleak. There was a reason you saw Cutler throwing lame duck passes and leaving receivers short. Cutler broke the same thumb in 2011 and that required surgery.

“Concerned. As a quarterback, you kind of need your right thumb” said Cutler, clearly distressed in the post-game press conference, alluding to that same injury of five years ago.

That doesn’t sound like an optimistic quarterback expecting to return anytime soon.

Cutler’s going to miss time.

The loss aside, where the Bears were pushed around and dominated on both fronts, again, is not of the utmost importance.
