U.S. Senator Dick Durbin and Congresswoman Cheri Bustos are asking Gov. Bruce Rauner to release funding for the Rockford International Airport. The Associated Press reports the Democratic duo has asked the administration to release more than $16 million they say is due to the airport for a midfield renovation project. Construction on the airport is already under way and Congress is looking to put money into the project. Durbin says those funds would be in jeopardy should the state decide to pull back their funding. Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Director Jim Schultz responded to Bustos saying the airport has yet to show the state it has received the $10 million in federal funding it said it would have when applying for the state grant.

NATIONAL

arts&humanities MONTH

By Anne E. O’Keefe

Rockford Area Arts Council

ast October, the Presidential Proclamation for Arts & Humanities Month keyed on the future of innovation relying on arts for everyone. “Cultivating the talents of our young people and ensuring they have access to the arts are critical to our nation’s growth and prosperity,” wrote President Barack Obama. “To meet the challenges ahead, we must harness the skills and ingenuity of our children and grandchildren and instill in them the same passion and persistence that has driven centuries of progress and innovation. “The arts and humanities provide important

opportunities for our young people to unleash their creativity and reach for new heights. That is why my administration is committed to bolstering initiatives that ensure the next generation has the tools to foster their artistic expression and the opportunities to go as far as their imaginations can take them.” Rockford Area Arts Council (RAAC) is kicking off October with Scene Peek, a fundraiser that

highlights youth that have been positively impacted by the arts. Events begin Thursday, Oct. 1, 5:30 p.m. at Veteran’s Memorial Hall, 211 N. Main St. RAAC ArtScene, in its 28th year, is a living, breathing piece of art unto itself. There are 40 venues that will be bursting with the creativity of the amazing artists from our region. This event would not be possible if not for the artists and others who are creating our culture throughout the year. They include gallery owners who have nurtured emerging artists, maintained a creative space for shows and the creation of work and have been the backbone of our creative class long before Richard Florida was writing about the value of such a thing. Deb Newton and Richard F. Novak will be returning to 317 Studio and Gallery. Newton founded the space, and went on to reimagine a gas station a block away and a barn in Lake Geneva with her hus-

band, architect Joe Zimmer. Novak’s work can be seen on the campuses of Rock Valley College, University of Illinois, College of Medicine and Swedish American Cancer Center. October 3 our friends at NAMI will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Stars of Light” with “The Best of the Stars” at the Nordlof Center from 2-3:30 p.m. The anniversary party will celebrate their accomplishments including over 260 tour shows entertaining over 20,000 people, five videos and movies, eight radio shows, a full-length play, a children’s book and seven art galleries. There will be live performances of vignettes that chronicle the evolution of the troupe. For information visit naminorthernillinois.org. Rockford Symphony Orchestra kicks off their season with “Tchaikovsky and Brahms,” on October 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Coronado. David Syme will be the featured pianist, and the program will include Walton, Prelude to Richard III, Tchaikovsky, Piano Concerto No. 1, and the conductors choice, Brahms Symphony No. 4 in E. minor. For more information visit rockfordsymphony.com. Round out your weekend October 4 with the Avalon String Quartet Series, “Celebrating Russian Composers” in the Mendelssohn Hall, 406 N. Main, 7:30 p.m. For ticket information visit mendelssohnpac.org. There are so many other outstanding arts offerings not only in October but throughout the year.

Tweeting for art history How a college class became more engaging by using Twitter By Lauren Jimerson

Rutgers University

hen I was a college student, art history courses revolved around a 1960s-era carousel slide projector. Its monotonous humming and clicking in the darkened lecture hall often put my classmates to sleep. For years, technology used in college art history classrooms was limited. Only in the past decade have departments transitioned from using the Kodak 35mm slide projector to computers with PowerPoint presentations. As I prepared to teach my own art history course last year, I wanted to implement new technologies to make the lectures more interactive and relatable to a 21st-century audience. How could I engage a large class, foster scholarly interest in art history and make the material relevant for today’s students? Could new and readily available technology help to achieve these goals? I decided to incorporate Twitter, the 140-or-few-

er-character micro-blogging site, into my curriculum. While other academic courses, especially marketing and management, employ social media, I had never personally encountered it in an art history classroom.

Using Twitter in the classroom

I was teaching “Introduction to Art History,” a survey from the Renaissance to the present. A total of 62 students enrolled. Students were encouraged to participate in discussions; however, Twitter was added as an alternative method to engage with class. I gave students a very general guideline regarding Twitter usage. They could ask questions, provide links to outside sources, or offer engaged responses to course material and their classmates’ posts. All tweets had to include the class hashtag so that they would be easily searchable. Rather than banning cell phones, I allowed them in class for Twitter. I offered another incentive – two bonus percentage points for the semester for those who used Twitter. I began the tweeting myself to provide a model for students on how to use social media in an educational context. I responded to their questions on Twitter and “favorited” the most notable tweets. Furthermore, I recognized top tweets each week, displaying them in the PowerPoint presentation. About 50 percent of my students participated.

What were the results?

Twitter encouraged active learning. It allowed students to comment on material and ask questions in real time. As each class was primarily lecture-based, Twitter created a new avenue for students to voice their ideas. An average of seven tweets were posted during each class. When a live stream was included in the PowerPoint, this number greatly increased. For example, during a lecture on Van Gogh with a live Twitter feed, a record 72 tweets were generated. With Twitter, students could continue to engage with course material outside of the classroom. The majority of tweets were posted in the evenings and on weekends. In a class survey, one student wrote, “I liked how… our use of Twitter [got] me to think about art outside of class.” From their activity on Twitter, it was clear that the course material resonated with students and they continued to reflect on the artists and concepts during their spare time.

Notably, final grades were on average 8 percent higher for students who used Twitter consistently. That Twitter use can result in improved learning is corroborated by other studies as well. Researchers R Junco, G Heiberger and E Loken have shown that Twitter in college courses leads to increased engagement and higher grade point averages. Although it would be difficult to determine if and to what degree Twitter usage affected students’ grades in my course, I believe it did promote better student engagement. Research has shown that student engagement is positively linked with increased academic success. Twitter added to the amount of time and effort students devoted to the class.

Stimulated interest in subject matter

Many students had no prior exposure to art history, and the majority took the class to fulfill a core undergraduate requirement. In the final course survey, most reported that they had only a moderate interest in the subject before taking the course. However, the majority (86 percent) indicated that they developed a greater interest in art history afterward. Multiple factors could have affected these results. But what Twitter did was allow students to relate the subject to their own academic and leisure pursuits. Students drew connections between art history and science, literature, music, fashion, popular culture and personal experience on Twitter. For example, when studying the English Romantic painter, JMW Turner, one student tweeted an article linking the material to her own interests in science: “Scientists studying air pollution examine Turner’s landscapes which captured meteorological conditions #arthist106” Students tweeted about their visits to museums and exhibitions: “Manet’s work really came to life for me at Grounds for Sculpture! Check it out, it’s one of my favorites. #ARTHIST106” They tweeted thoughtful questions. During our discussion on Fauvism, a revolutionary modern art movement, one student tweeted: “Why does most of western art appeal to Greco-Roman civ for validation, even in something so radical like Fauvism? #arthist106” Students shared their excitement on Twitter: “No one knows how much I love Kandinsky! If anyone’s interested ‘concerning the spiritual in art’ is a really good read by him! #arthist106” Some tweets made us laugh, like the following written to the tune of a pop song:

“Hey I just met you. And this is crazy. But here’s my earlobe. Now love me maybe. #arthist106” Twitter proved to be a useful as study tool. Questions and responses were visible to everyone prior to exams. It also worked particularly well for art history as students could tweet images. One student tweeted photographs of architecture on her trip to Florence during spring break.

Everyone had a voice

In a large lecture hall, it can be intimidating for some students to participate. Twitter allowed everyone in the class to express their ideas while simultaneously strengthening the classroom community. One bright student seldom raised her hand during class, but felt comfortable sharing her insights on Twitter. During a lecture on Italian Baroque art, she tweeted: “The blood pattern of Gentileschi’s Judith Beheading Holofernes is more realistic than Caravaggio’s version. #thingsinotice #arthist106” A few seconds later she tweeted again: “And now our prof is talking about the blood. So I guess it wasn’t that weird to notice. #arthist106” I encouraged students to express their viewpoints. One student disagreed with my analysis of the French Impressionist, Edgar Degas’ work and voiced her opinion on Twitter.

Interactive and engaging

With a free exchange of ideas, Twitter helped to establish a cohesive community among students and the professor. Although Twitter does require some additional effort on the part of the instructor (facilitating discussions, responding to questions, correcting any misinformation), it was worthwhile. At the end of the semester, when asked what they liked most about the class, the majority of students mentioned Twitter. One such student said: “I liked the use of Twitter and how it was interactive. It kept us engaged with the material… I would recommend other professors to start using it.” Implementing Twitter was a small step that made a big impact. Art history became more meaningful and exciting to students as they could relate it to their own lives. Twitter has now become an integral part of my classroom, and I continually seek ways to utilize the application more effectively as a pedagogical tool. As for that old carousel slide projector, it’s rusting in the basement. TheConversation.com

Energy & Environment

Getting the most out of energy efficiency By Robert and Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

nergy efficiency is a major goal of those interested in efficiency, renewable energy and saving on utility bills. While not flashy or attention getting, its benefits are long lasting. Efficiency, renewable energy sources and sustainable lifestyle behavior are stressed during the Renewable Energy and Sustainability Fair. This year, IREA Board members and long-time fair speakers Jim Lamb and Aur Beck shared the stories of how their lives became more energy efficient and, in Beck’s case, how he went totally off-grid. Lamb, a Renewable Energy Consultant and retired engineer, addressed utilizing solar, conservation and sustainability for maximum payback with minimal environmental impact. He is amused and proud of how he saves energy and lives so frugally that the water utility asked him if he still uses water or lives in his house and that his electrical delivery bills are higher than his usage. Some of his habits include lighting with Christmas lights and riding a bike no

matter what the weather. He shared advice on how others can approach his level of frugality. The first step is to determine the power used by each appliance and the length of time each is used which can also reveal unnecessary use. Next, discover and cut vampire (phantom) loads – those that are on without performing any useful service, such as instant-on appliances. Simple switching from incandescent lights to compact fluorescents was recommended in recent years; however, LED lights, which use approximately 1/8 the power used by fluorescents, are now advised. Gradually switch over as old bulbs burn out. Buying Energy Star appliances as old ones wear out, using a DC overhead fan and drying laundry outdoors are steps which many could take. Using motion detectors to turn lights on and off is more efficient than switches. Outlets in all walls rather than stringing extension cords will also save electricity. Consider eliminating the TV box, which draws a constant 90 kW. Low flow faucets, a grey water system and using rain barrels for watering gardens saves on

water usage. Painting rooms white reduces the number of light bulbs necessary. Triple pane windows and north windows with triple cell blinds are energy saving steps. Beck shared some energy-saving techniques used in other countries. Mexico and Israel use batch heaters; 20 percent of Israel’s hot water is solar heated. For those who have automatic electric water heaters, heating the tank for four hours a day rather than 24 saves electricity and produces sufficient hot water to satisfy basic needs. Beck then shared the amusing tale of how he slowly went off grid and has lived off-grid for 18 years. When he was a teen in southern Tennessee, he wanted lights and music, but his father did not want to pay utility bills, so he turned off appliances and lights. He decided to use his truck as his getaway, using the family’s home for eating and other necessities. He charged a 12 volt battery by driving, used the stored electricity for lights, music and a fan, and quickly wore down the battery. When the family moved to southern Illinois he set

up his room with DC electricity for his appliances. He wanted TV which cost $500, so instead invested in a $20 VCR. Recognizing that a 45 watt panel would not meet his needs, he secured three 50 watt panels, and later traded the 35 year old panels for a single new 100 watt one. To save energy, he turned off his phone between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. His DC stereo used only 26 watts versus 96 drawn by a similar AC one with the same features. Wanting to remain within the budget of his DC solar PV system, he took his kilowatt meter with him to determine the actual consumption of an appliance before purchasing it. After a few years, he installed solar PV systems for adventurous friends, and eventually became an installer of small and large systems. Lamb and Beck are living examples of how to live modern, comfortable lives wile using little energy. Major sponsors of the Fair were the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, The Rock River Times and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department. Reach the Vogls at sonia@essex1.com.

Is sustainability science sustainable in the longterm? By Benjamin P. Warner UMass–Amherst

n 2007, the American Association for the Advancement of Science counted 32 sustainability science programs at colleges and universities in the United States. Today, there are 118. Universities across the country are increasingly buying into the idea of sustainability science as an academic discipline, and like many of my fellow academics, I consider it to be academia’s saving grace. This new discipline was founded upon the idea that scientific research and education should do more to understand and solve our world’s complex problems. This would allow science to better fulfill its unwritten contract with society, a contract that requires academics to provide solutions to our most pressing problems: climate change, poverty, conflict, etc, in exchange for continued support from tax payers and policymakers. As a sustainability scientist, I am often pressed by policymakers and colleagues to explain how my research and teaching breaks from existing academic paradigms to better address these pressing problems. My response has become what I call my “sustainability science elevator speech,” which I’ve developed to explain my life’s pursuit. But the question that has been bothering me of late is, does it have substance? My elevator pitch My speech always takes some form of the following: “Sustainability science provides academics with the necessary lens through which we can view the complexity of our real-world systems. It allows

us to develop transformative solutions to deeply ingrained, wicked problems like poverty and conflict using “complex-adaptive systems” theory and “stakeholder involvement” to overcome the inherent complexity that exists in our world.” This complex language shows how this response deliberately lacks substance. It promises solutions to our most pressing problems while shedding responsibility by hiding behind its dense prose. It was subconsciously designed to confuse the interested, hopeful individuals who acknowledge the need for a new type of science to solve our most pressing problems. This realization was unsettling. I wrote this essay to force myself to confront my superficial beliefs and determine the reasons I was subconsciously undermining the charge to which I’d committed myself. And here are my reasons: Sustainability has gained traction in science over the last decade as the idea that scientists should better address complex real-world problems throughout the design and implementation of experiments. This is reflected in the requirements of federal funding agencies and by university mandates that require research to be applicable to practical issues. In the UK, for instance, impact evaluations are now required for federally funded social science research. Impact evaluations measure the contribution of an experiment to society and the economy. As policymakers increasingly label academic research as irrelevant to society, the need for this new type of science becomes apparent. We must begin to show policymakers and the public that taxpayer money is being spent on research that

benefits them. But the difficulty begins when scientists try to design research projects with the ultimate goal of solving complex real-world problems. I will clarify. We use the word “complex,” or “wicked,” to distinguish sustainability research problems from research designed to solve simple problems. My use of the word “simple” should not be taken as an insult. I am describing the problem, not the solution. The entire engineering discipline has evolved to solve simple problems, although the solutions to these problems are often quite complex. For example, if an individual would like to cross to the opposite side of a river, the problem is simple, but the solution may take the form of a complex public-infrastructure project. Traditional scientists incrementally build upon other scientists’ research to answer increasingly specific questions. Complex, uncertain parts of our world are reduced to simpler ones and then studied. For example, to study ecosystems, scientists often divide them into types of plants. Then, each plant can be explained by its chemical makeup; its chemical makeup can be explained by its atomic properties. We add up all the pieces and think we understand the whole. As a result, we now know much about how the pieces of our world function in isolation, but not about how they relate to one another. This is the cycle of science. This is the reason that science has become so specialized and seemingly arbitrary in the eyes of policymakers. Traditional science has not yet linked these pieces in ways that are useful for policymakers attempting to address

our complex problems. So, the charge of sustainability science is justified, but the problem arises as we try to embrace our world’s complexity by avoiding the well-established cycle of science. We become lost in the complexity of the problem. We do not know what questions to ask or what hypotheses to test. Academics working in this new discipline are aware of this paradox, and some are increasingly critical of sustainability science for this reason. But sustainability science must address this paradox to be sustainable. While I cannot provide a roadmap to universities and department heads interested in sustainability science, I do believe the following three points should be considered. First, sustainability science programs must be interdisciplinary in order to increase the scope of its research capabilities. This is easier said than done – tradition is very important in academia. Second, sustainability science research must be applicable to real-world problems while contributing to discovery-based science. Again, this is a difficult line to walk, but sustainability science must not become pigeonholed because solutions to complex problems will likely be innovative. Finally, sustainability science must be integrated into society. We cannot begin to solve complex problems without working with the people most impacted by them. The myopic perspective resulting from science practiced in isolation cannot provide useful solutions to complex problems. TheConversation.com

Farming

Focus on soybean acerage

By Debra Levey Larson

Time to prep for a fall garden clean up By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

As you end your garden season, you need to think about how you will be cleaning it up. Cleaning up the garden is an important step that will lead to a better season next year. If you keep dead and decaying plants in your garden, diseases can spread and overwinter in your soil. Weeds will go to seed and be added to the soil to germinate next year. Any tools you used this season should be cleaned before storing away. The fall is an appropriate time to focus on soil management. I recommend getting a soil test in the fall as you may need to raise or lower the pH. Since it takes several months for a change in pH to occur, spring is too late to benefit the summer crops. Soil building can begin in the fall too. You can add organic materials like compost and manure that will break down and add to the overall soil

organic matter. If you are growing asparagus, rhubarb, or other perennial vegetables, they can benefit from top-dressing of manure or compost and a layer of mulch. By placing these around the plants, they can reduce any damage from the freezing and subsequent thawing effects in the spring. Fall is the ideal time to begin a compost bin. Since you have green materials like plant debris and brown materials like leaves, you can set up your compost system. A general rule for these materials is to alternate between 2-parts brown to 1-part green. There are many guides available to get you started with composting. As you close your garden down for the winter, it is a good time to think about what went well and didn’t go well this season. Consider plans for crops you want to grow next year. Mapping out crop rotation plans for next season can be beneficial right now as you remember what you grew and where you grew it.

U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Surveys conducted by the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) in June revealed that producers had planted or intended to plant 85.1 million acres of soybeans in 2015. The extremely wet weather in June resulted in a July re-survey of those producers in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas who had indicated in the June survey that they had intended acres that were not yet planted. That re-survey resulted in an 800,000 acre reduction in the estimate of planted acreage of soybeans, to a total of 84.3 million acres. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, questions about the magnitude of planted acreage of soybeans persist. “In particular, extremely wet weather in June in parts of the eastern Corn Belt raised questions about whether all the intended acres in that area were actually planted,” Good said. NASS will update the estimate of planted acreage of soybeans in the Oct. 9 Crop Production report. That estimate will incorporate administrative data, primarily from the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA). Producers participating in federal farm programs are required to report planted acreage to FSA. FSA releases monthly summaries of the producer reports that have been received and processed to date beginning in August. Good said those reports contain clues about how NASS may change its acreage estimate in October. While NASS will have access to the FSA data for the Oct. 9 Crop Production report, FSA is not scheduled to post that report on its website until Oct. 14. “Anticipating the NASS October estimate of planted acres of soybeans based on FSA acreage data is a two-step process,” Good said. “First, the pattern of changes in FSA monthly planted acreage data is examined to anticipate the magnitude of planted acreage that might be reported in October this year. Second, the relationship between the FSA and NASS October acreage estimates is examined in order to anticipate the likely NASS October acreage estimate this year. This process is illustrated using the experience of the past three years.” In 2012, a year of very early planting, Good said the FSA report of planted acreage of soybeans increased by 0.8 million acres from August to September and by only 0.096 million acres from September to October, for a total increase of only 0.896 million acres. The increases in 2013, a year of very late planting, were 2.6 million in September and 0.6 million in October, for a total increase of 3.2 million acres. In 2014, a year of moderately late planting, the increases were 1.6 million in September and 0.2 million in October, for a total increase of 1.8 million acres. “The variation in the pattern of changes in monthly FSA reports of planted acreage makes

it difficult to anticipate the October report this year,” Good said. “In terms of planting progress nationally, 2015 was more similar to 2014 than to either 2012 or 2013. In 2014, the October report of planted acres was 1.8 million above the August report. This year, the September FSA report of planted acreage totaled 80.7 million acres, 1.2 million above the August report. Expectations might be for the October report of acreage to be about 0.6 to 0.8 million acres above the September report, for a total of 81.3 to 81.5 million acres.” The October NASS estimate of planted acreage as a percentage of the FSA report of planted acreage in October was 101.8, 101.7, and 103.9 in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. “Relationships between NASS and FSA October acreage data over the past three years suggest that the NASS October estimate of planted acreage this year could be as much as 0.4 million acres larger than the current estimate to 1.6 million acres smaller than the current estimate,” Good said. “The magnitude of the potential range, about two million acres, is similar to the experience of the past three years. The NASS October estimate of planted acreage exceeded the September estimate by 1.1 million acres in 2012 but was about 0.7 million less than the September estimate in 2013 and 2014.” Expectations for the final NASS estimate of planted acreage, to be released in January 2016, can be updated following the release of the October FSA acreage report and the NASS October acreage estimate. The final NASS estimate of planted acreage in the previous three years ranged from 0.5 million less than the October estimate to 0.3 million more than the October estimate. That final estimate represented 101.8 to 103.0 percent of the October FSA acreage report. “The change in the NASS soybean acreage estimate, if any, next month would have to be near the extreme of a decline of 1.6 million acres suggested by recent history to substantially alter the 2015-16 supply and consumption balance sheet,” Good said. “With a national average yield near 47 bushels, a 1.6 million acre decline represents 75 million bushels, assuming the difference between planted and harvested acreage remains near the current estimate of only about 0.8 million acres. With all other World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report balance sheet projections unchanged, a decline of that magnitude would point to year-ending stocks of 375 million bushels, rather than the 450 million bushels currently projected. “Based on the nature of the 2015 planting season, we judge that the NASS October acreage estimate could be small enough to lower the projection of 2015-16 marketing year-ending stocks to less than 400 million bushels,” Good said. “Stocks at that level would be expected to support prices at current levels. On the other hand, higher prices will likely require some combination of a lower yield forecast or improved export demand.”

Vibe Entertainment

Festivals help breathe new life into downtown By Nate Johnson Columnist

Rockford’s Main Street District has welcomed over 2,500 people over the past two weekends, as crowds visited the corner of State and Main for the fifth annual Screw City Beer Festival (SCBF) and the first Kryptonite/Brovember Sausagefest, with hundreds more up the street at the Greenwich Village Art Fair. The sold-out SCBF saw beer enthusiasts rewarded with perfect weather and over two hundred beers from over 50 national breweries, including Rockford’s CarlyleBrewingandRockfordBrewingCompanyand Machesney Park’s Pig Minds Brewing, as well as several well-received brews from the Forest City Brewers. A half-dozen local vendors joined with Kryptonite to provide food and drink to help support Brovember, a local non-profit organization that promotes men’s cancer awareness. Once the smoke cleared, patrons selected the Irish Rose as Sausage King and Social took home the People’s Choice award. “All these things stemmed from just wanting to have some fun activities to do,” said Kryptonite owner Chris Wachowiak. “That it turned into something that benefitted men’s cancer awareness is great.”

The activities continue throughout the fall, as Kryptonite begins a Wednesday night early concert series. The series, set with early start times to keep with the darkening days and earlier curfews, kicks off tonight with a 7:30 p.m. performance by the Caleb Klauder Country Band. Away from downtown, the German Society of Rockford will be hosting their 51st annual Oktoberfest at Loves Park City Hall on October 2 and 3. Besides the obligatory traditional polka tunes, Miles Nielsen will perform on Saturday night. The festivities come back to Main Street on October 22, as the Great Downtown Dog Walk returns from 5-10 p.m. with live music and plenty of dog-friendly events. Besides supporting the downtown businesses, these activities help continue to build the community spirit. “ I think we are all so bombarded with information, it’s easy to think we support something because we ‘like’ it on Facebook, that we forget to show up and participate in our community,” says Kryptonite Events Director Liz Newman. “Anyonethatparticipatesinafestivalorblockparty, whether organizing or attending, is doing something that enriches Rockford. I hope that never stops.”

Rockford Rocked Interviews

Catching up with recording artist and chef Dave Wood By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

ockford Rocked: What has Dave Wood been up to? Dave Wood: I have been playing regularly on Monday and Wednesday nights with the Dave Potter Trio and play with several different bands on weekends. I just played on a recent release by Westside Andy called “Blues Just Happen”. RRI: Tell us about when you first became interested in playing music and the electric guitar. DW: My first influence was seeing Louis Armstrong on television. I first started playing the Hammond organ when I was five and played xylophone and percussion in the grade school band. The Jimi Hendrix (Band of Gypsies) song “Who knows” made me want to play guitar. RRI:While everyone else was listening to REO Speedwagon and Loverboy you were learning Albert King and Peter Green licks. How did you get so deep into the blues at such an early age? DW: My dad first heard blues (Jimmy Reed) in Texas in the ‘50s so I grew up listening to blues around the house. I saw Muddy Waters open for Erin Clapton when I was 11. I was hooked. RRI: I was told that your father was responsible for hooking you up with a 1956 Fender Stratocaster when you were around 17 years old. You ultimately had that guitar autographed in person by Eric Clapton. Tell us a little about

the guitar and the meeting with “Slow Hand.” DW: In 1983 my dad knew the manager at the Rockford Metro Center. I had three backstage passes

so my friends and I waited after the show to meet him. His road manager ended up kicking us out but we knew where he was staying. His limo pulled up in front of us at the

hotel and I pulled my guitar out. He asked to play it so I asked him if he would sign it. It’s funny because he told me that he had only signed one other guitar before that, a Les Paul in

Kansas city. Shortly after that guitars were signed for auction for Amnesty international. RRI: You made the switch to bass guitar some years back. Was it easier to get gigs? DW: There is a shortage of bass players compared to guitar. Bass is always in demand and being versatile has helped me a lot. RRI: Rumor has it that you have played alongside some big names including Buddy Guy. Are there any gigs that stand out among the rest for you? DW: Playing at the Chess studio in Chicago was the most memorable gig because most of my favorite blues artists were recorded there. The room sound just like the records. RRI: You’re also a trained chef. If you were asked to make a meal for a party of six or more what would it be and why? DW: For some reason I can’t deal with the smell of meat cooking but I make a mean curried lentil and potato soup. RRI: I’m going to say a name or phrase and you answer with the first thing that pops into your head. RRI: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin). DW: Another master of the Telecaster. RRI: Fishing on the Rock River. DW: World class catfish. RRI: Boca Burgers and tofu. DW: Not a fan. RRI: What’s next for Dave Wood? DW: Keep playing and hold down a solid groove.

Tube Talk

A new reality for network TV By Paula Hendrickson Television Columnist

otice anything unusual about this year’s Emmy broadcast? No, not the fact that Viola Davis made history when she became the first African American woman to win as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama. And no, not because the set resembled a blinged out TARDIS. Any guesses? While HBO’s Game of Thrones, Veep and Olive Kitteridge dominated this year’s Emmy Awards, only four of the night’s statuettes went to broadcast networks. Four. That’s also the same number of Emmys that Comedy Central picked up this year. NBC’s The Voice won Outstanding Reality Competition Series; Allison Janney won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role on CBS’ Mom; Regina King won

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie for her role on American Crime; and of course Davis’ win for her breakthrough performance on ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder. What does this mean for broadcast networks? If they want to regain credibility and critical acclaim they’re going to have to rethink their entire approach to programming - and to their audiences. Something most of this years’ scripted winners have in common - including the three network examples above - is they don’t gloss over difficult subjects or allow characters to be unlikable at times. Social media exploded during each new episode of How To Get Away With Murder thanks to big revelations, most of them involving less-than-flattering aspects of Davis’ character, Annalise Keating. (Truth be told the headline-making scene where Annalise removed her

Brian Williams returns – and memory research says we should give him a break By Julia Fox Indiana University

fter being suspended without pay from NBC in February, Brian Williams returns to television this week. He won’t be heading back to the Nightly News desk (now anchored by Lester Holt), but he will be reporting breaking news updates on MSNBC, beginning with the pope’s visit to the United States. Williams’ fall from grace at NBC came after he misrepresented, during a newscast, events that occurred while he was in Iraq in 2003. In a memo to staff announcing Williams’ suspension, president of NBC News Deborah Turness also expressed concerns about Williams’ misconstrued accounts of other events that had taken place while reporting in the field. News reports indicate those con-

cerns included Williams’ claim that he’d seen a body floating in the French Quarter in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and even that Williams may have exaggerated rescuing puppies when he was a volunteer firefighter as a teenager. The staff memo from Turness quoted Stephen B Burke, chief executive of NBC Universal, who said Williams’ actions were “inexcusable” and “jeopardized the trust millions of Americans place in NBC News.” Of course, it would have been inexcusable if Williams had intentionally misled viewers about his reporting experiences to bolster his credibility. But there’s also a body of research that suggests these recollections could be honest mistakes, made over time – that his memories of the events may have gradually melded together, becoming

wig and make-up was one of the few reveals that made Annalise more likable, or at least more relatable, since it showed she could be vulnerable, too.) On American Crime – a drama with what must be one of the most realistic, unflinching and thought-provoking looks at racism, religion, and prejudice to ever air on broadcast television – King plays a devout Muslim woman whose brother is suspected of murder. Her character faces prejudice about her religion, her race, and her gender. Nothing about her role, or the story as a whole, is easy, or one-dimensional. Even a comedy like Mom isn’t afraid to explore the deeper issues behind the characters’ flaws. Janney’s “Bonnie” isn’t just a wacky self-absorbed mom/recovering addict trying to atone for past mistakes, she’s also a troubled human being fighting to maintain her sobriety. That’s pretty serious subject matter for a sitcom. Maybe the dearth of Emmy wins this year will finally show broadcast networks that they don’t need to water down content or dumb down subject matter to make it more palatable to the average viewer. In fact, it’s a bit insulting to think some programming executives might really believe the vast majority of Americans are incapable of understanding (or enjoying) more complex stories. That said, programming is just part of what networks need to address in order to remain relevant in today’s television landscape. I remember interviewing a programming director at one of the networks about 15 years

confused with other news reports he’d seen on TV. After all, let’s not forget that Williams’ initial eyewitness accounts of his experiences in Iraq were accurate. A colleague and I studied embedded reporting during the Iraq War. We found that embedded reporters used more personal pronouns in their reporting than non-embeds did, but they did so in the context of factual eyewitness coverage, and rarely offered personal opinions. So Williams’ reporting style is precisely the type of reporting that ensures – rather than violates – reporter objectivity. It was only years later that Williams incorrectly recalled being behind the plane that was shot by a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG), and not in another formation. Even then, the gist of much of what Williams recalled was not fabricated: he was traveling with troops in Iraq in 2003 and there was a plane that took on enemy fire from an RPG. Undoubtedly, it was a terrifying and highly memorable event. Though something that frightening should be recalled in vivid detail, sometimes those vivid details, despite their verisimilitude, are wrong. Numerous studies have shown that memory is fallible, that even recollec-

ago. When I asked him about the “cluttered television landscape,” he didn’t seem too worried about losing viewers to cable, saying viewers had to work too hard to find cable shows. He failed to realize that finding one program amid hundreds of channels isn’t difficult for people who’d been raised with cable, or that they didn’t really draw a distinction between broadcast and cable. They just wanted good programming. But 15 years ago, broadcast networks’ only real competition came from pay cable, first in the form of made-for-TV movies, then with original premium cable series. A few years later basic cable channels began experimenting with original series and soon viewers were seeking out shows like The Shield on FX, The Closer on TNT, and eventually Mad Men and Breaking Bad on AMC. Those shows helped build the brands we still associate with those channels. It the past three years, streaming outlets like have given audiences yet another alternative to broadcast television. Broadcasters have already discovered viewers will seek out quality programming, even if it means subscribing to Amazon Prime, Hulu, or Netflix. Now they need to find a way to contend with another level of competition. The past couple years, Netflix’s Orange is the New Black and House of Cards did well at the Emmys. This year Netflix programs only received four Emmys, including Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for Orange’s Uzo Aduba. Despite that dip, Netflix took home as many awards as all of the broadcast networks combined.

tion of highly emotional events can be distorted over time. Studies of “flashbulb memories” – memories of highly emotional news events – show people’s recollections of how they learned of those events (such as what they were doing and with whom) are still quite detailed years later. But they’re not always accurate. One study looked at the flashbulb memories of how people learned of the Challenger explosion. The researchers found that those memories were often inaccurate years later. And when they were wrong, the original memory of how they found out about the explosion was often replaced by a memory of watching it on television. The authors of that study did not explore this television link further, but as a media scholar I did in a study of flashbulb memories and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Unlike the Challenger study, I looked at memories of the event months, rather than years, after the terrorist attacks. I found no false memories, but participants did report viewing television almost immediately after learning about the event. And they continued watching for hours. So is it any surprise that, after watching TV so soon after hearing of a horrif-

ic news event, people might, years later, falsely remember that they first learned about it while watching television? And that journalists who were on the ground might conflate TV reports with memories of their own experiences? How much video did Brian Williams watch of the Katrina aftermath? His recollection of the floating body happened in 2006, a year after covering the event. That’s less time than the three-year study period of the Challenger flashbulb memory research, which did find that television intrudes into memories, but more than the three-month time period of my study, which did not. It’s certainly possible that Williams’ recollection a year later confused what he’d witnessed firsthand and what he later viewed – most likely repeatedly – in recorded coverage of this highly emotional event. Williams is smart enough to know it would be foolish to intentionally exaggerate his experiences, especially when there’s a record of his initial accounts to contradict them – and that he had a lot to lose if he did. While NBC executives may insist this doesn’t excuse making incorrect statements from the anchor desk, it may at least explain why it happened. TheCoversation.com

Cinema

Shyamalan tries a few too many routes to The Visit By Thomas Simpson Contributor

ove him or hate him, M. Night Shyamalan rarely bores. Known for his clever, or ludicrous twists, the director has been out of favor with critics for the better part of a decade, not without good reason. His latest film sees him team up with successful producer Jason Blum whose production company is known for tight budgets and returning impressive box office numbers, especially in the horror genre. The Visit may look like another found footage film, but with Shyamalan at the helm you can expect something different. Children of a broken home, Rebecca (Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) decide to go spend a week with their grandparents so that their mother can go on holiday with her new boyfriend. Rebecca is making a documentary and hopes to get the truth of why her mother and grandparents haven’t spoken in years. At first, Nanna (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie) seem fine. Sure, they’re a little peculiar but they’re old and maybe even a little eccentric. Events take a more sinister turn as the sun goes down with Rebecca and Tyler fearing their own family. Despite looking like a found footage film, The Visit utilizes more of a mockumentary

approach. The realism aspect allows Shyamalan to leave a static camera on his subjects, a technique he uses to generate great tension. The quick paced handheld footage is expertly used in one terrifying sequence as Nanna chases the two kids under the house in a ghastly game of hide and seek.

As scary as that scene is, this isn’t a straight horror. There are many comedic elements included that sometimes conflict with the initial tone. What adds to the confusion is the insistence on driving home the emphasis on The Visit as a family drama. What starts off as a subplot, with exposition padding out the

plot, turns into the overall arch of the script. The climax of the film removes any dread that’s been created and also includes a bizarre yet humorous end credit sequence. This being Shyamalan, you’d expect a twist, and unlike The Happening he doesn’t disappoint. Many will groan that they saw it coming a mile away, but I was thankful that I didn’t. Once the initial reveal is laid bare, you can see where the story is going but the director manages to avoid some horror tropes even if it is to the detriment of the film. The Visit is a confusing film that ultimately tries to be too many things. What’s interesting is that it succeeds at being effective in whatever genre that scene has set itself in however as an overall movie it tends to become a bit of a head-scratcher. It’s sentimental, scary and hilarious although it doesn’t always make for a good match with contrasting moods. For a film that injects a lot of fun into the horror, it takes itself too seriously in the end, focusing too much on the documentary within and not enough on the fictional output. It’s a little convoluted but Shyamalan’s latest effort provides enough entertainment to warrant a visit to the cinema.

Medical error victims still rack up big bills

By Trudy Lieberman

Rural Health News Service

ast winter Tammy Fogall, a reader in Colorado, told me about her family’s “troubled summer vacation,” as she called it. A visit to relatives in Ohio had turned into a medical nightmare that left the family struggling with a $12,000 bill plus a ringside seat to observe what happens when doctors and hospitals make mistakes. Shortly after they arrived in Chillicothe, her 43-year-old husband, a retired Army National Guard staff sergeant, suffered a burst appendix that neither doctors at a local VA clinic or a small regional hospital where he was sent diagnosed correctly. He languished for eight days as his belly swelled with pain and he was pumped full of antibiotics. On the eighth day doctors sent him home to Colorado with instructions to follow-up on what they concluded was a virus in his small intestine. A day later he was whisked into surgery. He almost died. When the Colorado doctor learned Fogall had been given antibiotics, he told his patient those drugs had masked symptoms of the diseased ap-

pendix. Without them he might have had surgery sooner. Eventually Fogall made a full recovery. “I now have a $12,000 hospital bill, and I’m responsible when the hospital screwed up,” Tammy Fogall said. The Veterans Administration covered their Ohio medical bills while a Blue Cross Blue Shield plan from her husband’s employer paid for most of the Colorado hospital’s $75,000

fight the hospital than pay the bill. Her case was too hard to prove, they told her. I rang up Helen Haskell whose son died from a medical mistake in a South Carolina hospital many years ago.

What they still owe is the result of a $4,250 deductible and the requirement to pay 20 percent of their remaining bills after satisfying the deductible. Fogall, who sells ads for the Colorado Business Journal, pays the hospital $100 a month. “That’s all I can afford,” she says. The hospital has sent the account to collections. Like most victims of medical errors, Fogall consulted several attorneys - 20 or so by her count. They all said it would cost more to

Haskell says the legal system “exists for large claims, those involving hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars,” and that puts people like Fogall in a bind even when their claims are justified. She added if the hospital has no interest in “doing the right thing,” there’s little the family can do. Still, families can take certain steps when a loved one has been harmed. These include:

review. nOrdering a forensic autopsy if the patient has died. Hospitals don’t routinely conduct them, but Haskell says the family always has the right to have one. nConsidering calling an attorney even though the odds are against anyone taking your case. But an attorney may help you negotiate with the hospital. nMeeting with hospital officials and the doctor. Talk to them about how they will learn from the incident to prevent harm to other

patients. If your family member has suffered a disability or has died, try negotiating with the hospital to see if it will waive medical bills or negotiate a reduced level of compensation. nReporting the incident to regulators who can investigate and penalize healthcare providers. Contact the state health department; your state’s state licensing boards for doctors and nurses; the Joint Commission, which accredits hospitals; Medicare or one of Medicare’s Beneficiary and Family Centered Quality Improvement Organizations. Fourteen years ago the Joint Commission announced a patient safety goal for hospitals: They should disclose “unanticipated outcomes” or medical harm to families. Studies show that when hospitals meet with families and apologize for their mistakes, families are more able to move on and reach a settlement. When medical providers circle the wagons, it’s another story. Hospitals know what they are supposed to do, says Haskell. “But so far most are not doing it.” Have you or a family member experienced a medical error? Tell us about it.

Criminalizing homelessness can cost cities federal money A By Scott Keyes

ThinkProgress.org

fter arguing last month that local ordinances criminalizing people for being homeless are unconstitutional, the Obama administration will now tie federal funding to whether municipalities are cracking down on criminalization measures. Every year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gives out $1.9 billion in grants to local Continuums of Care, public-private partnerships that tackle homelessness in a specific area. These grants are doled out in a competitive process whereby applicants must fill out a lengthy questionnaire about how they plan to use the money, as well as their current policies. Last week, though, HUD announced that it would begin asking applicants to describe the steps they are taking to reduce the criminalization of homelessness. Ordinances that criminalize homelessness, also known as “anti-vagrancy” or “quality of life” laws, include making it illegal to sit down on a sidewalk, ask passersby for spare change, or sleep in a public place. Applicants for the federal money will have to show they are engaging with local policymakers or law enforcement about criminaliza-

tion policies, as well as implementing new community plans to ensure homelessness is not criminalized. Failing to combat such ordinances will hurt a Continuum of Care’s chances of winning new funds. The change comes after the administration filed a brief in federal court arguing that criminalization violates the Eighth Amendment’s protections against cruel and unusual punishment. Maria Foscarinis, Executive Director of the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, hailed the latest move. “We welcome the federal government’s direction of tax limited dollars to the places that will most effectively use that money to address homelessness,” Foscarinis said in a statement. She also noted that HUD is giving sufficient weight to criminalization policies that the question “in many cases could be the difference between receiving funding and not.” The Obama administration has made a pattern of connecting federal funding to desired outcomes in localities. Its signature education achievement, Race to the Top, encouraged schools across the country to raise their standards by making it a prerequisite to receive more federal funding. Obamacare ties some hospital funding to how effectively they avoid preventable infections and patient re-admis-

sions. Homeless advocates hope that connecting HUD funding to the fight against homeless criminalization will have a similar impact. It would come at a time that these policies have been popping up at an alarming rate. A study this year from the UC Berkeley law school identified over 500 anti-homeless laws on the books in just 58 California cities, while researchers at the Seattle University School of Law found criminalization ordinances in Washington had risen over 50 percent since 2000. Criminalization policies are problematic not only from a human rights perspective, but also because they’re costly and counterproductive. A new report from the California Homeless Youth Project argued that “saddling a young person with a criminal history impedes their efforts to obtain a job, housing, safety net resources, and education, including both secondary and post-secondary education.” Criminalizing homelessness also hurts taxpayers. When accounting for law enforcement and emergency health care costs, numerous studies have found that leaving homeless people on the streets winds up costing taxpayers more than three times as much as simply giving them housing and supportive services.

Hidden benefits of crop insurance

By Traci Bruckner

Center for Rural Affairs

uring the last farm bill debate we heard Congressional leaders say, farmers don’t get a check, they get a bill for their crop insurance. While that statement may be true, it’s also true that crop insurance is heavily subsidized, providing unlimited premium subsidies to the nation’s largest and wealthiest farms on every acre, every year, regardless of prices, production or farm profitability. We created a mock “explanation of benefits” to demonstrate the largess.

In this explanation of benefits (which is based on central Nebraska insurance costs and yield data), if a corn farmer received over $1 million in crop insurance premium subsidies at the 70% coverage level, that would cover roughly 52,000 acres. Is that an effective safety net to eliminate risk for one operation on that many acres? The recent Government Accountability Office study points to an egregious example where a farmer insured crops in eight counties and received about $1.3 million in premium subsidies. Let’s be clear, crop insurance is a valuable risk management tool for farmers. Fundamentally, we believe in the government helping fami-

ly-scale farmers manage risk. But the problem lies in the fact that we are subsidizing the largest operators no matter how big they get. If one entity farmed an entire state, under current law, we all would share in the cost of their crop insurance on every acre. Not only should there be full transparency to this largess, we think there should be a limit too. Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

Letters to the Editor

Save now, pay later “Save now. Pay later.” is an expression that we hear constantly and it could not be truer than in the fight for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. The most recent information indicates that 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer’s and that the disease is the sixth leading cause of death nationally. The $153 billion spent treating these patients is the largest expense incurred by our Medicare system and is projected to grow to more than $1 trillion as our population ages in the coming decades. Congresswoman Cheri Bustos has been a leader in fighting to improve the lives of those with Alzheimer’s, consistently advocating for increased funding for research and care. She is also a sponsor of H.R. 1559, the HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act, which will ensure than Medicare provides comprehensive care planning services for those who receive a diagnosis. While taxpayers pay more to treat Alzheimer’s than any other disease, less than 2 percent of the NIH’s research budget is spent on finding an Alzheimer’s cure. I am writing to encourage Bustos to continue her excellent work by supporting increases in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget for funding to cure Alzheimer’s. Doing more now will reduce costs and improve the quality of life for generations to come. Nancy Rainwater Rockford

‘Thanks!’ to volunteers

Organizers of the Oregon Area Rock River Sweep would like to thank all of the volunteers, staff, and sponsors of the 7th Annual Oregon Area Rock River Sweep cleanup that was held on September 12. The weather was perfect for the 47 people who participated in the event and branched out to remove trash from an eight mile section of the river north and south of Oregon. All of the waste removed from the river was sorted for recycling. One half-ton dump truck was filled with recyclables and another with waste to be disposed of. In addition, 10 tires, including a rear tractor tire, about 150 pounds of scrap metal, and several unusual items were picked out of the river and recycled or disposed. A special thank you to the many volunteers and the following groups who participated: Oregon Park District, Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, RockRiverSweep.org, Oregon Mayor Ken Williams, local Cub Scouts & Boy Scouts, Rock River Trail Initiative and this newspaper. We look forward to next year’s sweep and continued involvement of volunteers and community groups to make the Rock River cleaner, healthier, and more attractive. RockRiverSweep.org Board

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of Sept. 23-29, 2015

This Week: The sun moves out of Virgo and into fluent Libra September 23. Even though we are in the middle of a Mercury retrograde, we will notice our spirits lift a bit. On September 28 a powerful lunar eclipse arrives in Aries. Energies will be sporadic, yet if we keep an awareness of these dates we can actually channel this in planetary influence in a productive manor. Utilize this to its full potential. There will be plenty of energy to complete those aggravating tasks or start a new creative endeavor. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Favorable romantic aspects arrive midweek, when a third party provides you with additional information regarding the object of your affection. Your cash flow begins to move in the right direction allowing you to breathe with a little more fiscal ease. The mental or emotional status of a valued friend may cause you some concern. Just keep your listening ears open, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Stop focusing on financial lack and embrace the fact that everything is current within this moment in time. If we look too far ahead and worry there may not be enough, we can manifest that in our future. Contacts made on Thursday provide you with an opportunity for growth and development with your career. Dress for success, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — The focus may be on a change within your career or residence at this time. Little hints have been arriving and acknowledgments for a job well done continue to flow in. Romance for many of you has been a bit rough, when fall arrives opportunities for the right fit will arrive as well. A past love or past love interest will have an opportunity to rekindle itself. Go for it, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Allow yourself plenty of time to arrive at your

destination. You may find yourself a bit accident-prone if you are not using common sense now. A friend from your past may arrive with unexpected news. Allow yourself plenty of time to process your emotions midweek. You won’t regret it, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Take care of your physical appearance as well as your emotional self now. You may be struggling with an emotional funk of some sort and could be having a difficult time with your personal presentation. Fake it till you make it. By week’s end you will feel as though you are back in your own skin again Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — If you are slipping back into your old self-destructive ways it is time to make self-preservation a prominent factor in your life. Your personal relationships can suffer as a result of your self-indulgent behavior. With that said think about how your actions affect others and move forward from there in the most positive light. You can’t go wrong with that, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — New business opportunities or a financial windfall present themselves in the weeks to come. You feel as though you have been burning the candle at both ends for a while now. These new activities will increase your financial potential 100 percent. An unexpected meeting with a past love gives you some answers for your current romantic dilemma. You have all of the answers, move forward now, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Okay, this week promises to provide you with some serious amusement first and foremost. Anything after that will only be the icing on the cake. Your heart becomes rather fragile midweek as you have to face some more serious challenges with your personal life. Never fear my dear,

you are getting the emotional support and backing that you need to heal all wounds. Life is changing for the better at this time, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Humor is the star arriving within your life this week. It has been a while since you have really felt the connection to your best friend, laughter. Share that with those you love the most. Comic relief reveals the youngster within. As a result of that, all eyes are on you, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Try not to get caught up with the material things in life at this time. You need to keep in touch with your true spiritual self now more than ever. Children and animals need you to be present and accounted for. If you’re off in worry town, they cannot get the emotional support they need. Make a solid connection with those smaller and weaker than you are this week, you won’t regret it, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — This is an action-packed week of emotional highs and lows. Try to ride these waves and use them to your advantage. A healing process has begun and you and your family are able to work with the tools a professional is providing. Finances are highlighted and offers of employment arrive in October, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You may be hurt or confused regarding the behavior of another at this time, but this is only temporary. Set boundaries and limit what you will tolerate from another without becoming combative. Calmly and carefully clarify where you stand. It will sink in eventually. This week your finances are in a strong position again. Pay it forward, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815398-3983.

Pope Francis

Why should we care about Francis’ US trek?

By Massimo Faggioli

University of St. Thomas

he papal trip to the United States that Francis will begin on September 22 is the most difficult of his pontificate so far. This is because of what I call the pope’s “American problem” – a cultural and ideological distance between the more socially minded Jesuit from Argentina and the more conservative leadership of the American Catholic Church. Francis is not only the first non-European pope. He is also the first pope since Vatican II – the council that “opened the church to the world” – who has never set foot in the US, even before becoming pontiff. And, finally, he is the first pope from Latin America – a fact that presents American Catholics with a particular kind of challenge to their tendency, evident in the writing of George Weigel, for example, to identify themselves as the youngest and most energetic Church in global Catholicism, and to see American Catholicism as representative of the rest of the world. A Latin American challenges these tendencies because Latin American Catholicism represent a mix of “global south” and of European Catholicism very different from North American Catholicism. But why should non-Catholic, non-Christian, non-experts care about Pope Francis coming to America? What does this media fascination in the papal trip (just look at the latest issues of Newsweek, Time, People and The New Yorker) say about our world?

Papal trips: a 20thcentury invention

Church history is very long, but the history of papal trips is not (there are, for example, no good studies, to my knowledge, of the history of this very particular theological event). In the Middle Ages and early modern times, popes did travel sometimes, but only in emergencies or fleeing under threat. The conclave of 1799-1800, for example, took place in Venice, not Rome, after Napoleon’s invasion of Italy. In 1848, Pope Pius IX had to flee Vatican City because of the political revolution in Italy: he returned to Rome only in 1850.

The first modern papal trip took place in 1964 with Paul VI visiting the Holy Land. It became a fundamental part of the papal job description with John Paul II, less than 40 years ago. The example of John Paul II, who took 104 foreign trips, is crucial, but it can also be misleading in trying to understand the political importance of these visits. John Paul II’s first trip to Poland in 1979 was clearly a factor in the political change that led, one decade later, to the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe. There were other groundbreaking trips for John Paul II – such as, for example, his visit to Cuba in 1998 – but they were more symbolic in nature. They did not bring about a real political change. Indeed, Francis’ trip to the US is probably not going to change the views of American Catholics, much less the deeply polarized politics in this country.

Hearts and minds unlikely to be moved

To begin with, the economic message of Francis is deeply dissonant from the tradition of capitalism in America. Catholic social doctrine has

always been skeptical of free market ideology, and with Francis’ encyclical on the environment Laudato Si’, the church has updated its criticism of the ruthless nature of market forces and their impact on creation with growing concern about climate change. But popes do not legislate on the economy, they just point out the values and principles that should inspire a society that respects – and not just in theory – the life of every human person. Catholic social teaching works through general principles that need to be applied by lay Catholics. So how will American lay Catholics respond? American Catholics (both liberal and conservative) have always, understandably, been very protective of their autonomy. That is something popes have noticed – one clear example being the Vatican’s condemnation in 1899 of the heresy of “Americanism” or the insistence on the need to adapt Catholicism to America. What’s more, and this is not insignificant, Francis is not as comfortable speaking English as his predecessors – indeed, he spent the summer studying the language in preparation for this trip. American culture has a tremendous ability to absorb every other culture. It is undeniable that the culture of Catholics in America has

been largely changed by America, and no pope can do much about that.

But here’s why you need to watch this papal visit

So why is a papal visit interesting, if not essential, for those who want to understand something of the world today? The first reason, and perhaps the most obvious one, is that Francis presents Catholics and non-Catholics alike with the idea that there is another “source” for understanding ourselves and the issues that divide and unite our communities. Catholicism makes the case against “monism” – against the dominance of one intellectual, philosophical and spiritual tradition. Roman Catholicism is not just a church: it understands itself culturally and geopolitically as “a world” – or “the” world before modernity turned secular. In this papal trip, therefore, the leader of the Catholic Church is meeting America, the global leader of its “counterpart” – modernity, capitalism and pluralism. But the second, and to my mind the most important, reason to pay attention to what happens in the next few days is the story of relations between

the papacy and the Catholic Church on one side and the United States on the other: a story about change in religion and politics. Francis is addressing Congress on September 24 2015. The very idea that the Roman Catholic pope, head of the Vatican State, can address Congress would have shocked most Americans only 30 years ago. It was only in 1984 that the US and the Vatican established diplomatic relations. Ronald Reagan did that. He would have been surprised to witness the successor of the anti-communist pope John Paul II accepting a hammer and sickle crucifix during his trip to Bolivia earlier this year. Catholicism today is part of the American mainstream. Just look at the Supreme Court: six of the nine justices are Catholic. This is a stunning change from the original exclusively Protestant identity of America. On the other hand, world Catholicism has become in recent years much more American than it used to be – and much more American than Italian, for that matter. Church teaching on religious freedom and democracy and the new sensibility on the role of women in the Church came to Rome largely thanks to the experience of Catholics in the United States. It was an American Jesuit theologian, John Courtney Murray, who was the chief drafter of the document of the Second Vatican Council on religious liberty, approved in 1965 – in 1954 he had been silenced by the Vatican for writing on the subject. The point I want to make here is that the influence the Vatican has on the US and vice versa can be seen only over a long period of time – over years, if not decades. It is very unlikely that we will see any change before the next presidential election. But change there will be, and paying attention over the next few days is the only way to capture the direction of that evolution. And that matters, whether you are Catholic, American or none of the above.

Catholic colleges leaving the poorest behind By Annie Waldman

<<<Pope Francis will speak at Catholic University of America this week. The school’s poorest student pay over $31,000 a year in tuition, even after discounts from scholarships. CUA

ProPublica

Pope Francis has made serving the poor a central tenet of his papacy. “Wealth makes us poor,” he told Cuban worshippers on Sunday, urging them not to forget “the smallest, the most abandoned.” As the pope makes his first visit to the United States, he might want to reiterate that message to the nation’s Catholic colleges. Six of the top 20 nonprofit colleges that are most expensive for low-income students are Catholic institutions, according to a ProPublica analysis of recently released federal data. At almost half of all Catholic colleges, low-income students graduate with more than $20,000 in federal loans. (See our Debt by Degrees interactive, which shows how American colleges compare in how much federal student loan debt students accumulate.) At Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., where Pope Francis is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, the school’s poorest students pay over $31,000 a year in tuition, even after discounts from scholarships — more than any other research university in the nation. Students also graduate with a significant amount of debt: $26,000. And just 12 percent of its students are low-income. Gerald Beyer, a Christian ethics professor from Villanova University said schools should be doing more. “Empowering the poor is a key part of Catholic social teaching, and education is an essential means of achieving this goal,” he said. “Catholic institutions need to rethink their own policies.” Several schools, including Catholic University, said financial struggles have

Pope stresses help for the needy, but legacy Catholic schools are leaving many low-income grads with massive debts limited their ability to provide aid. Catholic University recently laid off a handful of staff members. The school also points to its relatively modest endowment: $308 million. “We are unfortunately not a school with an endowment that starts with a B,” said Christopher Lydon, vice president for enrollment management and marketing at Catholic University. Notre Dame, Boston College, and Georgetown — all Catholic schools with endowments worth more than a billion dollars — offer more generous financial aid to their poorest students.

But like Catholic University, the schools don’t enroll many of them. The percentage of students who receive Pell grants — federal grants for students whose families typically earn under $30,000 — is less than 14 percent at each of the schools. Nonprofit four-year colleges on average have around 40 percent Pell grant recipients. The wealthier Catholic universities say that they are working hard to enroll more low-income students. Georgetown and Boston College have need-blind admissions and guarantee to meet the full needs of students through

financial aid. Notre Dame, which has an $8 billion endowment, recently announced a $20 million fund to cover college expenses for low-income students. The school also has begun to enroll undocumented students and give them funds to match Pell grants, for which they are ineligible. “Notre Dame is devoting considerable resources to attracting and, as importantly, supporting students from low socioeconomic households,” said the school’s spokesman, Dennis K. Brown. Some Catholic universities with modest resources stand out for serving

the poor. Just down the road from Catholic University sits Trinity Washington, which has some well-known graduates, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi. The women’s university has a tiny $11 million endowment. But nearly 65 percent of its students receive Pell grants. The poorest students graduate with on average $16,000 of debt from federal loans. Trinity Washington’s president, Patricia McGuire, believes that other Catholic schools should follow a similar path. “There’s a whole group of schools that want to be in the Ivy Leagues and want to be considered prestigious, and then there’s the rest of us who believe education is not about competition,” said McGuire. “Every institution needs to examine its own conscience about whether it could do more for students on the margins.” Anthony Carnevale, a professor at Georgetown and the director of the university’s Center on Education and the Workforce, says the lack of low-income students is being driven by college ratings and competition for high-performing applicants. “Christianity, let alone Catholicism, is supposed to be about taking care of each other and throwing the money changers out of the temple, but Jesus didn’t have to run a college,” said Carnevale. “The only way for colleges to survive is to become more and more selective, and in this country, it means whiter and wealthier.”

How VW got caught cheating emissions tests

By Paul Nieuwenhuis Cardiff University

Volkswagen has set aside $7.3 billion to cover the costs of the growing scandal over cheating on emissions tests in the US. Putting a number on the cost further down line will be far harder, however, as it is a crisis which calls into question the ethical credentials of the company and the industry, as well as posing tough questions about the regulators and authorities who were duped. Although the Volkswagen emissions scandal has caught many by surprise, in fact it has been brewing for a while. It all started when the European wing of the US NGO International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) set out to prove modern diesels were genuinely clean and would therefore be able to make a significant contribution to improving both CO2 emissions and air quality. The US has higher emissions standards than Europe, which were regularly passed by VW’s diesel-fuelled cars. The ICCT decided to test why this was the case – and had some surprising results. Partnering with a team from the University of West Virginia, the team fitted portable emissions testing equipment to three vehicles (two VWs and one BMW) on a run from San Diego to Seattle, which turned up very disappointing results for the VWs. The VW Jetta tested on the road trip exceeded NOx (one of the regulated toxic emissions) standards by 15 to 35 times the legal limit. When similar vehicles were subjected to their official test in the California Air Resources Board’s laboratory, however, they passed. The road test emissions numbers in the lab all fell within the accepted levels of NOx emissions. Following investigations into the matter, VW has admitted to gaming the US air pollution tests. Nearly half a million cars have been recalled for containing “defeat device” software that only turns on the cars’ emissions controls when they are undergoing official testing.

Death of diesel?

Arguably, VW was complying with US law by meeting test standards and this raises an important issue when it comes to the efforts being made to

reduce emissions. Global efforts to combat climate change and reduce CO2 emissions have resulted in leniency on diesel cars – not only in public debates concerning the environment, but also in legislation. This is one of the reasons why the EU has followed a more lenient toxic emissions regime for diesel than gasoline powered cars in recent years. Along the way, human health and the impact of toxic tailpipe emissions from vehicles, has taken a backseat. But this approach is increasingly being questioned. Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo, for example, announced plans to ban most diesel vehicles from the city from 2020. Many feel that with potentially low carbon alternatives such as electric and hybrid-electric vehicles increasingly available, as well as, more recently, the first commercial fuel-cell cars, the need for diesel as a carbon reduction technology is becoming less central.

and environmental responsibility has taken a severe knock. Diesel cars represent a large proportion of new car sales in Europe and also of vehicles in use. Many of these will be Volkswagen Group vehicles bought by people who probably thought

FA S T

that they were helping reduce carbon emissions. While they certainly did so – the TDI-engines in question are among the most fuel-efficient engines available and low fuel consumption means low CO2 – but these same people probably assumed that beyond this, their cars at least complied with toxic emissions standards. Others, such as the Brussels-based NGO Transport & Environment are probably less surprised. They have long been among those highlighting the fact that the real world experience of many car owners, even in terms of fuel consumption, did not come anywhere near to the official figures that resulted from emissions testing. The question arises of why it takes underfunded NGOs to discover these problems, rather than the regulators themselves. It is also unclear whether this technique was only used to deal with the particularly tight US and California regulations, or whether it was also used to get around the European test cycle and emissions compliance is being investigated in Asia too. At the same time, it raises serious questions about diesel and public support for this technology may well suffer. What is clear is that this is one of the biggest crises to hit the car industry – and on a par with those that have rocked the banking sector. Perhaps we’ll see the same tightening of regulation that has significantly improved that industry.

Fungal leaf disease ‘tar spot’ found in 3 northern Illinois counties

By Stephanie Henry U of I News Bureau

URBANA — Corn leaf samples from three northern Illinois counties have been confirmed positive for the fungus Phyllachora maydis or its common name tar spot, according to University of Illinois Plant Clinic director Suzanne Bissonnette. The Illinois Department of Agriculture announced news of the disease yesterday. Megan Romby, a national plant pathologist with the USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service in Beltsville, Md., confirmed that the samples were positive for the disease in the Illinois counties of LaSalle, DeKalb, and Bureau. The samples were collected from commercial fields by Monsanto breeders and pathologists and sent to Kiersten Wise of Purdue University in response to her inquiry for samples and distribution information of the tar spot pathogen. Wise and Purdue Plant Clinic director Gail Ruhl initially identified the pathogen, which is new to the United States, almost two weeks ago and submitted confirmation samples to the USDA. Bissonnette said upon receipt of the Illinois samples, they diagnosed the fungus, contacted the University of Illinois Plant Clinic, and submitted

the Illinois samples to the USDA for confirmation. “Scouting for the disease has been active in Illinois,” Bissonnette said. “Jennifer Chaky of Pioneer Plant Diagnostic Clinic also has samples from Bureau County diagnosed with tar spot. The University of Illinois Plant Clinic has also diagnosed LaSalle county samples from Russ Higgins, U of I Extension agronomist in northern Illinois.” Tar spot has distinctive symptoms. The fungal fruiting body, called an ascomata, looks like a spot of tar on the leaf. Lesions are black and sunken oval or circular. They can be small flecks of about 1/64 of an inch up to about 5/64 of an inch. The lesions can merge together to produce an affected area up to 3/8 of an inch. “If you run your finger across the leaf you will feel tiny bumps,” Bissonnette explained. Prior to the Indiana finding, tar spot was known to occur only in cool humid areas at high elevations in Latin America. “There are actually two fungi that cause tar spot disease on corn: Phyllachora maydis and Monographella maydis,” Bissonnette said. “While Monographella maydis is known to be able to cause economic yield losses in Latin America, Phyllachora maydis is not known to significantly reduce yield. Other pathogens may be confused with tar spot, especially the overwintering teliospore or black phase of corn rust. Also, there are many fungi, called saprophytes that feed on dead corn tissue and form black splotches on the leaves.” To date only one of the pathogens, Phyllachora maydis, has been found in Indiana and Illinois. Growers who suspect tar spot are encouraged to submit a sample to the University of Illinois Plant Clinic. “We would like to get a comprehensive idea of distribution in the state,” Bissonnette said. For more information on tar spot of corn, please see the USDA-ARS Diagnostic Fact Sheet at http://nt.ars-grin.gov/taxadescriptions/factsheets/index.cfm?thisapp=Phyllachoramaydis.

Local Farming

Angelic Organics trains to launch or expand sustainable farms Staff Report Angelic Organics Learning Center (AOLC) is seeking applicants for Stateline Farm Beginnings - a yearlong course that has trained 233 new farmers and 160 farm families in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin and since 2005. The course attracts both rural and urban participants, with students hailing from Chicago, Rockford, Milwaukee, Madison and nearby communities. Applicants include those who are new to farming and those who would like to improve or expand their farming business. Applications for the 2015-16 course are available through October 2. Stateline Farm Beginnings is part of the Farm Beginnings Collaborative, a national network that trains new farmers using the Farm Beginnings training model and curriculum. The course is farmer-led, community-based and uses sustainable farming practices. Unique to Farm Beginnings is the opportunity for students to join a farmer network right away. While taking classes, students form relationships with farmers in the same community where they often launch their farming business. “I cannot conceive of Hazzard Free Farm being where it is today without Farm Beginnings and Angelic Organics Learning Center,” said Andy Hazzard of Hazzard Free Farm Grains & Beans in Pecatonica, Illinois, just outside of Rockford. Hazzard started her farm in 2007 and completed Stateline Farm Beginnings in 2008. She was a young, single woman who wanted to continue her family lineage of farming. She now operates a thriving sustainable farm business that grows, processes, and distributes non-GMO, chemical free whole grain products to restaurants and kitchen tables across the Midwest. Hazzard serves as an instructor for Farm Beginnings courses and also mentors youth farmers in AOLC’s Roots & Wings program. Farm Aid recently named her a Farmer Hero, one week before the Farm Aid 30 concert in Chicago on September 19. Stateline Farm Beginnings begins in October 10 with 10 course sessions that meet bi-weekly on Saturdays at Angelic Organics Learning Center (1547 Rockton Road in Caledonia). These sessions give students the knowledge and background needed to start and sustain their own farm. Sessions are taught by farmers and industry experts who offer first-hand knowledge on topics such as land and equipment access, accounting, marketing, selling and more. Students also assess values, goals and resources while developing a tailor-made business plan for their farming business. The second half of the course is a combination of hands-on workshops and a mentorship period. Workshops are hosted and led by member farmers of Upper Midwest CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training), a coalition of organic, biodynamic and other sustainable farmers.

Students are also matched with individual farmers during a mentorship period over the summer. Mentorship matches are made by identifying a student’s learning needs and then finding an experienced farmer for that student to learn from throughout the growing season. These relationships often last long beyond the formal mentorship period. Cliff McConville of Barrington Natural Farms serves as a mentor for Stateline Farm Beginnings students. Cliff recently expanded his pasture-raised and organically fed meat, poultry and dairy operation in Barrington. He also collaborates with two Stateline Farm Beginnings graduates - Dominic Green of the Gentleman Farmer in Barrington and Bob Vierow of Bob’s Fresh & Local in Elmhurst - to offer CSA produce shares for his customers. “People want a cleaner environment and healthier foods. If we are going to meet this demand, we will need to train more sustainable farmers,” said McConville. “Farm Beginnings helps improve our environment and food systems, one farmer at a time.” The Stateline Farm Beginnings course concludes in September 2016 with a graduation ceremony and a potluck. The relationships built between graduates, however, do not end when the course is over. Many graduates stay involved with Upper Midwest CRAFT, as both a means of continuing education and sharing their skills with new farmers. Other graduates collaborate in their business ventures, and many remain friends for life. Jen and Jeff Miller had high-powered careers in Chicago, but decided to make a change after their first son was born. The Millers started an organic produce farm in Grayslake called Dea Dia Organics in 2006 after finishing Stateline Farm Beginnings. “We wanted flexibility to be with our family and start a business that we could believe in and teach our children about,” said Jen Miller. The Millers now co-operate Sandhill Family Farms with another farming couple, Matt and Peg Sheaffer from Brodhead, Wisconsin. The Sheaffers, coincidentally, have also served as instructors for Stateline Farm Beginnings. This partnership allowed the families to expand production and offerings without compromising commitment to quality, to customers, or to their young children. Jen Miller also mentors other farmers and Stateline Farm Beginnings students. “We believe beginning farmers are crucial to organic, sustainable agricultural growth as an industry,” said Miller. “We think it’s ever more crucial to ensure that beginning farmers continue to be mentored through the hard challenges that you face a few years into farming.” To apply or learn more about Stateline Farm Beginnings, visit LearnGrowConnect.org/SFB or call 815-389-8455.

Voices from the Grave

The spirits of Fairgrounds Park

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

airgrounds Park was formed on land purchased around 1858 and was used for a variety of activities including a place to host the annual fair. During the summer of 1896, the Fairgrounds Park made the newspapers for something other than agriculture. The newspapers mentioned that the fairgrounds had become known for its ghostly encounters. At first the reports just trickled in, mostly told by the closest neighbors to the park. These included stories of mysterious lights, a high pitched scream that resembled “the screeching of a stabbed pig”, and loud cracks that sounded like revolver shots. The stories soon expanded to include reports of wispy figures darting in and out of the cattle shed and the halls of the buildings on the grounds. As the stories started to spread through the city, the numbers of the nightly visitors grew. They were all anxious for a glimpse of the apparition. Eventually a group of young boys banded together to investigate the claims of the supernatural sightings. The first night, just a handful of boys showed but soon the number had swelled to over 50. They were from neighborhoods from all over the city and differed in age, ethnicity and financial backgrounds. These “ghost hunters” had little equipment except for lanterns. The local papers later stated that the boys did arm themselves with “everything from toothpicks to telegraph poles”. They hoped to use these items to protect themselves from whatever was lurking behind the high fence of the park. Almost immediately the boys were startled by a sound much like a shot of a revolver and then the screeching that was described as an unearthly, inhuman sound. This excited the group and bolstered their courage enough to enter the shadowy recesses of the park itself. Their search of the grounds was in vain, however, and the group quickly grew bored with the hunt. It was about this time that a trolley passed by the

entrance and attracted the attention of the group. The band of boys started to hoot and holler, sounding very much like the reported banshee from the park. This startled the trolley “occupants nearly half to death.” The noise from the group also roused the neighbors who then came to see what the hullabaloo was all about. Someone finally alerted the police to all this commotion and they arrived in short order. The police had no real idea what was happening but very quickly got the neighbors and the would be ghost hunters under control. They eventually arrested 28 boys from the group and marched them double file to the police station. When they told their story to the judge, he and the spectators in the very crowded room weren’t sure what to think. It was the first time Judge Morrison had to make a decision on a case like this. He addressed the crowd of boys that aged from 12 to 30 years old. Judge Morrison decided to fine the older of the boys $5 and gave the younger boys a penance of delivering bouquets to the hospital two times a week. The police took the ghost claim seriously and spent several nights in the fairgrounds to discover for themselves the cause of the reports. They experienced some of the same things as the claims. They eventually decided that these were the work of a real living being and rousted a semi-professional hobo by the unfortunate name of “Parrot Face” Tompkins. Apparently, the police made sure he would never repeat his performance because “Parrot Face” was heard to say that he had enough of ghosts (and the police) to last the rest of his days. That wasn’t the end of the claims from the area though. People spoke of strange things happening well into the fall. One man, John Hunt, described as having a “smile like a basket of chips”, was quoted as knowing for a fact that the ghost was real. Hunt saw and smelled the phantom for himself and proclaimed that he wouldn’t go anywhere near the area after the sunset. Kathi Kresol is a local historian and author.

Major League Baseball

Cubs continue streak toward playoffs By Nate Johnson Columnist

f your team’s performance in September is truly an indicator of playoff potential, the sky truly might be the limit for this year’s Chicago Cubs team. Coming off a 5-2 stretch against the only two teams ahead of them in the Major League standings, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cubs came into their home series with the Milwaukee Brewers poised to clinch a

spot in the Wild Card play-in game before the weekend. After an inauspicious start to their trip to Pittsburgh with a 5-4 loss in the matinee half of a Tuesday doubleheader, the Cubs bounced back for a 2-1 win in the nightcap behind a 5-hit complete game from Jon Lester. While the missed opportunity for all-world starter Jake Arrieta to win his twentieth game on Wednesday was disappointing, the team walked away with their second win in a row in

Doubling the ridiculous triumph By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

y heart is not too cold and frozen over to not enjoy the delicious irony of Jeff Samardzija capping his ultimate opus in fan torture last week, only to turn around and twirl a one-hit shutout in his very next start: a Monday afternoon start that no one got to watch. That’s poetry. That’s the dramatic sweep worthy of the great cinema epics of 70’s auteurs. That’s fine villainry, and I am satisfied that I have spent my summer being tormented by a master; a very, very hirsute version of Colonel Kurtz. “How many runs did you give up in your last start?” Samardzija playfully but

pointedly shot back at a sideline reporter who dared recap the disaster piece that has been his contract-drive/hired gun for a would-be-contender season. Gee, I dunno Jeff, it would probably be less than 10, just because I wouldn’t be left in to wear it by my manager for so long. To allow 10 runs, someone had to have high expectations for you, and ones they didn’t fully abandon even as you were midway through the process of deeply undercutting them. Samardzija credited a lot of his CG, H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K, to locating a tell in his delivery that was tipping his fastball, which doesn’t really seem to address the “awful cutters” problem from last week, but ok.

a 12-inning nailbiter. Thursday’s win made it three in a row before heading home to meet the dreaded Cardinals. Despite the loss in Pittsburgh, Arrieta still notched his seventeenth straight quality start, a streak he hopes to continue this Tuesday against the Brewers as he gives it go number two to become the first Cubs pitcher to win twenty games since Jon Lester in 2001. During the run, Arrieta has gone 13-1 with a nearly sub-1.00 ERA and 120 strikeouts, putting himself in position for the win-or-go-home opportunity on October 7. Chicago continued their roll through the first two games hosting St. Louis, behind the bat of Starlin Castro on Friday (2 home runs, 6 RBI) and the glove of Addison Russell on Saturday, as he made possibly the play of the year (how quickly we forget about Anthony Rizzo climbing a tarp) to end a late-game threat after the remaining bullpen hiccupped following the ejections of closer Hector Rondon and manager Joe Maddon in the ninth inning. Rondon’s ejection came after the sixth hit

If it seems like it’s been a long time coming for Samardzija to be sitting down with video coordinator Bryan Johnson to make a crucial adjustment, well, it’s not his favorite thing to do. “I try to be an in-game guy. But there are some times where you need to get out there and maybe watch an old game when you did really well or watch the past game and what happened,” he said. “For me that was the case. I needed to go back to my last couple of starts and see why good pitches were getting tattooed. It’s not a fun feeling so you definitely want to fix it as fast as possible.” Yes, yes, as soon as possible. Yes. Definitely very timely. nErik Johnson had his by far most superficially pleasing start since being recalled, and also his actual best one (!) for a doubleheader sweep-sealing 3-2 victory in the nightcap. Despite countering Samardzija’s miraculous avoidance of a single three-ball count in his entire nine innings by running into a half-dozen of them, Johnson powered his way

batsman of the first two games of an increasingly testy series that saw Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday hit in the head before Rizzo, far and away the Major League leader in HBP, took two for the team before both he and Maddon took exception. The tension carried over to Saturday, when Cards second baseman Kolton Wong got the two-hit treatment. Rondon’s errant pitch against shortstop Greg Garcia, clearly not intentional, was the icing on the cake. With the opportunity to sweep the Cardinals and shave another game off their playoff magic number, the Cubs fell behind early in the series finale and were unable to mount yet another comeback win. The slump did not last long, however, as the Cubs cut their magic number to four by beating the Brewers 9-5 on Monday. After three against Milwaukee, the Pirates return to Chicago for the last full Wrigley series of the regular season before one make-up game against the Kansas City Royals. Hopes are high that this will not be the last time this fall that the Royals visit the Friendly Confines.

through six innings, allowing just two runs (including yet another solo home run), while racking up a career-high-tying nine strikeouts. He did this mostly (entirely?) on the strength of a fastball that averaged around 91.5 mph. He threw it get ahead, he threw it as a putaway pitch, he threw to challenge hitters when he fell behind. He just threw that sucker. There’s nothing wrong with Johnson’s fastball; it plays better than his velocity when he can hit spots on both sides of the plate like he did Monday night, and he can even put some sink action on it like he showed when he whiffed Miguel Cabrera . It’s just an unexpected trend for guy whose scouting reports raved about the four-pitch mix he can throw at people. He was fastball-slider nearly exclusively Monday, and yeah, why show more than you’re forced to show, but it’s worth monitoring. Ostensibly, it’s great to see Johnson get swinging strikes – 16, in fact – with

just small concerns of whether he’s pulling a Zach Stewart: wailing on lifeless September lineups with fastball command only. It’s not like the Tigers did anything against Samardzija to indicate they’re still alive. nBy sealing up the ninth inning with a two-strikeout frame Monday night, David Robertson took the Sox back out of a safe place for the Bottom 10 for a protected first-round draft pick, but the Diamondbacks are too close to actually being decent to sweat this too bad. And it was too good to see Robertson revert back to snapping knee-breaking knuckle-curves to worry about not tanking. This is a guy who has been much too standup about wanting to deliver on his contract, overtly cares too much about doing well, and is too much fun when he’s going right to wish more blown saves on him for the sake of tanking.

Man City undone; Chelsea find their legs By Alan Clark

In keeping with the 2015/16 trend however, Bayern also won to maintain a 100 percent record. They visited promoted SV Darmstadt and left with an easy 3-0 win. Arturo Vidal bagged his first Bundesliga goal after 20 minutes of action with a top-corner strike and the champions rounded off their victory in the second half with two quickfire goals. Kingsley Coman doubled the lead for Bayern before 24-yearold Sebastian Rode tapped in after initially hitting the woodwork for the icing on the cake.

West Ham produced the perfect counter-attacking display to stun top-of-the-table Manchester City at the Etihad with a 2-1 victory. City went into the game on the back of a defeat in the Champions League to Juventus at home but hopeful in the knowledge that they remained the only side with a 100 percent record in the league. But Slaven Bilic had other ideas and his side took the lead after just six minutes through Victor Moses, whose shot was drilled past Joe Hart at his near post. The Hammers didn’t stop there though, extending their lead through Diafra Sakho after just half an hour. City replied through Kevin De Bruyne’s hit but it wasn’t enough as they lost their unbeaten start to the campaign. Chelsea got back to the familiar feeling of winning in the Premier League as they saw off nine-man Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. In a fiery clash, the Gunners saw Gabriel sent off after a kick at hothead Diego Costa and Santi Cazorla for a late crunching tackle. The Blues took the lead after the first red card, Kurt Zouma heading in just after the interval, before Arsenal were reduced to even less men on the park. Eden Hazard’s deflected goal made sure of the points for Jose Mourinho’s charges. Elsewhere, Manchester United survived a late scare to defeat Southampton 3-2 on Sunday, with Anthony Martial stealing the limelight. Graziano Pelle gave the hosts the lead, but some neat technique in the box from Martial allowed him the space to pick his spot in the back of the net for 1-1. He made it two in the second half before Juan Mata knocked home the rebound from Memphis Depay’s powerful shot, which had cannoned off the post. Pelle got his second late on to unsettle United but they held firm to collect a vital three points.

Messi-inspired Barca win yet again

Barcelona regained top spot in La Liga with a comfortable 4-1 win over Levante at the Nou Camp, despite being held at half-time. Defender Marc Bartra broke the deadlock just after the break and Neymar followed up with a scrappy goal on 56 minutes, before that man Messi converted a spot kick five minutes later for 3-0. Victor Casadesus pulled one back for the visitors but in the dying embers of the game, Messi completed his brace with a trademark cool left-footed finish. Meanwhile, Karim Benzema headed in Real’s only goal as they huffed and puffed against lowly Granada at the Bernabeu. Cristiano Ronaldo, entering the match up on the back of eight goals in two games, was on the hunt to become the all-time goalscorer of the club

and needed another three, but it was the French marksman Benzema who got his fourth in as many games to give Real victory. Germany

Dortmund and Bayern marching on

The Bundesliga title race is set to be an enthralling one if the current form of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund is anything to go by. Dortmund took on Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend and comfortably seen them off 3-0 at Signal Iduna Park to remain on top of the league via goal difference. Jonas Hoffman was first on the scoresheet after 19 minutes, followed by a Shinji Kagawa tap-in for two-nil. Thomas Tuchel’s men didn’t hold off there though, as they chased more goals and got one through a Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang penalty to make it five league wins from five.

Serie A champions Juventus collected their first win of the league season as they beat Genoa 2-0 on the road. They now have four points from four games as they look to finally be over their horrendous start to the title defence, perhaps buoyed by a surprise away win at Man City in the Champions League. The openings came from Genoa’s Eugenio Lammana putting the ball into his own net and from Paul Pogba, bringing a smile back to the Juve faithful. They have a bit of work to do though as runaway leaders Inter Milan maintained their flawless early record with a narrow 1-0 win at Chievo. The home side themselves have started well in the league campaign but the Milan giants had enough quality over the 90 minutes to grind out a crucial three points to remain top of the league - Argentine attacker Icardi getting the only goal for Roberto Mancini’s side.

National Football League

For D-3 players, it’s a long way to the top of the NFL By Tom Emery Contributor

ManyNFLplayerscomefrombigcollegeprograms withnationaltelevision, mediahordes,andenormous crowds. Some come from a much smaller stage, where the lights are much dimmer. Ten players from Division III, the lowest rung of NCAA football, opened the 2015 season on NFL rosters, successfully making the uphill climb from the smallest schools to the pros. From the few that make it, a handful manage to carve out productive careers – if they ever get the opportunity. Athletic scholarships are prohibited at Division III, and many member schools have enrollments of 3,000 or less. Television and daily news coverage is rare, and travelisbybusorvan.Crowdsnumberinthehundreds. NFL scouts and executives frequently gloss over these small programs, focusing on Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) schools that create the buzz on Saturday afternoons. Pat Coleman is the executive editor of d3football. com, a leading source on Division III. He attributes the oversights to a perceived lack of competition. “Many times, a GM is going to look at a Division III player’s tape or scouting report, and discard it due to the level of completion they face,” said Coleman. “No matter how they may have dominated at Division III, some NFL executives are going to think it wasn’t against better competition.”

BEARS

From Back Cover

The Bears did nearly as much to harm their chances as the Cards’ offense on the afternoon, racking up 14 penalties for 170 yards, tying the franchise mark for a single game. A 108 yard opening kickoff return from David Johnson certainly did little to ease fears over the Bears’ special teams game, a lingering after-effect of years of bad drafting. “I hold myself responsible,” said running back and special teams player Jeremy Langford of Johnson’s return. “That play was right in front of me. I have to do a better job. I have to beat that single block and force him to run sideways more.” If it was in fact down to just a single player then Langford’s hands-up explanation could be more palatable, but after two returns of of over 40 yards last week it’s clear that a lack of depth is hurting the Bears in the kick coverage game. Maybe the toughest pill to swallow for Bears fans will be that Cutler actually came out hot prior to the interception. Whether his hamstring injury that will keep him out for 2 weeks came before or after the throw is still unknown as head coach John Fox has remained as tight-lipped. What is known is that he was 8-for-8 to that point with 120 yards and a touchdown, and looked the better of the two passers on field. The Bears, despite the setback on the opening kick, looked like they just may build on some of the positives seen in Week 1 against Green Bay and

Still, some find a way. Pierre Garcon, a receiver from Division III powerhouse Mt. Union College in Ohio (enrollment: 2,200), was a sixth-round pick by Indianapolis in 2008. He signed a five-year, $42.5 million free agent deal with Washington in 2012 and the following year, led the NFL with 113 receptions, a franchise record. Cecil Shorts, another Mt. Union wideout, was picked in the fourth round in 2009 by Jacksonville and inked a two-year, $6 million contract with Houston this offseason. Fred Jackson (Coe, enrollment 1,420) was picked up by the Seahawks last month after eight years in the Buffalo backfield, where he ran for a career-high 1,062 yards in 2009. “If there are people in the front office who were Division III themselves, it helps open the door,” remarked Coleman. “Jackson had bounced around the minor leagues in football, but because (former executive) Marv Levy was also a Coe grad, he gave Jackson a chance.” “Now, Buffalo also has kicker Jordan Gay, who playedatCentreCollegeinKentucky,”continuedColeman. “They’ve also got Alex Tanney from Monmouth College in Illinois on their practice squad. If teams have had good experiences with Division III players in the past, they’re more likely to take a chance on others.” Tanney holds the NCAA record for all divisions with 157 touchdown passes and is the Division III record-holder with 14,249 career passing yards. give Arizona a game. But it all came unraveled when Cutler was led back to the dressing room to be replaced by alsoran backup Jimmy Clausen. The former Notre Dame quarterback completed 61 percent of his passes, but saw one intercepted and two more batted down at the line. Whatever hope the Bears offense had went out the window when Cutler walked down the tunnel. Barring a 27 yard gain, running back Matt Forte found little room to operate as the Cardinals defensive front overpowered the Bears O-line for much of the afternoon. He finished with just 61 yards on 15 carries, while grabbing another four receptions for 44 yards. For the Bears to have any chance of a bounce back this week against an 0-2 Seattle Seahawks side the mistakes will have to be cut out, and Clausen will have to become a mix between Tom Brady, Joe Montana and prime-Colts-era Peyton Manning. None of that looks likely as the bookies have made the reigning NFC champions 14 point favorites on the opening line for Sunday’s 3:25 p.m. kickoff (on FOX), the first time the Bears have been two-touchdown underdogs since Dave Wannstedt was coach. And Seattle will be looking to claw back out of the early-season hole they’ve dug after a pair of tough road losses to St. Louis and Green Bay. All signs point to another trip out behind the woodshed for the Bears–fans can only hope they’re able to stay out of the record books for all the wrong reasons this week.

ManyNFLplayersfromDivisionIIIareproductsof top programs. Mt. Union is 276-11 since 1995, losing only one regular-season game. In nine of the last ten years, they have played Wisconsin-Whitewater in the national title game, the Stagg Bowl. Whitewater, the winner of six titles in that span, has produced the likes of Matt Turk, a three-time Pro Bowl punter who lasted seventeen years in the NFL, ending his career in 2011. “Since there are five rounds of playoffs in Division IIItoday,itgivesplayersmorereps,”commentedColeman. “Also, the Stagg Bowl is usually the only D-III game on ESPN, and that gives them more exposure.” Other NFL regulars from Division III include Indianapolis linebacker Jerrell Freeman (Mary Hardin-Baylor, Tex.) and Seattle kicker Steven Hauschka, who transferred to North Carolina State after starting out at Middlebury College in Vermont. Jackson and Hauschka continue Seattle’s tradition of taking chances on Division III talent. In 1982, the Seahawks drafted Pete Metzelaars out of Wabash College in Indiana, who played for four teams in a 16-year career from 1982-97, including four straight Super Bowls in Buffalo from 1990-93. Eight years later, Seattle drafted Chris Warren (Ferrum, Va.), who ran for 1,545 yards in 1994 and 1,346 yards with 15 touchdowns a year later. In 2015, Tampa Bay took guard Ali Marpet (Hobart, N.Y.) in the second round, the highest-ever

selection of a Division III player. He is one of 19 D-III players picked in the draft since 1990. “Marpet himself was almost overlooked,” said Coleman. “He had found one person who wanted to see him play in the Senior Bowl. Had he not received that opportunity, he would have been missed. There, he became kind of a hot commodity, and proved he could play at that level.” Past small-school standouts in the NFL include Ken Anderson, a star at Augustana, Ill. before the creation of NCAA Division III in 1973. Anderson spent sixteen years with the Bengals and played in the 1982 Super Bowl in a borderline Hall of Fame career. Former Rams linebacker London Fletcher, an undrafted free agent from John Carroll College in Ohio, retired after sixteen years in the league in 2013. Fletcher, who started 215 consecutive NFL games, broke 100 tackles four times and won the Super Bowl with St. Louis in 2000. Bill Schroeder (Wisconsin-LaCrosse), a sixthround pick by Green Bay in 1997, played in the Super Bowl as a rookie and lasted eight years in the league. He had 1,051 receiving yards for the Packers in 1999. Coleman points to some of the recent successes of Division III players and notes that more teams are taking the chance. “There’s been an uptick in the last 8-10 years in the number of players who are given that opportunity,” he said. “And in many cases, they have made the most of that opportunity.”

‘Hawks prep to defend while Kane worries linger Bears cut no slack as QB problems arise

By Adam Hess Contributor

ith the Blackhawks opening their preseason this week with back-toback games against the Detroit Red Wings, the first on Tuesday night, much focus has been placed on Patrick Kane’s presence at training camp and with the team as they prepare for the season. While many are frustrated with Kane being there amid a sexual assault investigation, the fact is that he’s already there and participating, and remaining hung up on it is like drinking poison and expecting it to hurt someone else. Instead, it’s time to shift our focus to what the team will actually look like when the regular season gets underway against the New York Rangers on October 7. While there are more than a few certainties as to which players will make the roster, there are still some roster holes to fill. Additionally, where each player will play and what the line combinations will look like on opening night is still up for much debate. Though we are only through the first five days of training camp, one thing that appears be set already is what the top line will look like when the season begins. Marko Dano found himself on the left wing of Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa for nearly all of the training camp scrimmages, and he’s thrived in that role. On the second day of camp, he notched two goals and added an assist while leading his team to a scrimmage victory. His success playing with Toews and Hossa isn’t exactly surprising as he plays a very similar game to their former linemate Brandon Saad, and maybe even has a bit more offensive upside. While this will probably not remain the top line for the whole season, it’s certainly a strong start, and a great sign of Joel Quenneville’s trust in his new young winger. Another big question is where Russian

import Artemi Panarin will play. A 23-year old forward with crazy skill – we’re talking Patrick Kane-like skill, here people – Panarin certainly has a lot of upside as a scoring threat and potential star for the Blackhawks this coming season. He’s already been in the conversation as one of the best candidates to win the Calder Trophy for NHL Rookie of the Year. However, this is just his first season of North American hockey, and while he did have great success in Russia’s KHL last season – he led the eventual league champions SKA St. Petersburg in scoring – that doesn’t necessarily mean that he will immediately transition to NHL success. The best place for Panarin is likely on the third line, which is the line on which Coach Q places the lightest load of responsibility. The third line is essentially designed to go out and

dominate the other team’s worst line, which is a role that seems perfect for Panarin. I expect to see him on that line along with Teuvo Teravainen and fellow Russian and former SKA teammate Viktor Tikhonov during this preseason, and hopefully that will lead to success and we can see that line throughout the regular season. There’s still plenty of questions in regards to the Blackhawks roster makeup when the season starts, and plenty of time for Coach Q and his assistants to figure out how to best fill out their roster. In the meantime, let’s just enjoy the fact that hockey is back, even if the games don’t mean anything yet.

ay Cutler very good. Jay Cutler very bad. Jay Cutler injured trying to make a play following an interception. You couldn’t help but feel some tinges of Groundhog Day as the Bears were undone by Bruce Arians’ Arizona Cardinals 48-23 Sunday at Solider Field, the most points allowed in a home game in franchise history. And you couldn’t help the notice the manner in which the Cardinals went about their business in light of Arians’ comments last week. The Arizona supremo said he was stunned when the Bears passed on him as head coach back in 2013 in favor of Marc Trestman. New regime in place or not, he had a point to prove to the Chicago brass, and boy did he ever. Cards’ wideout Larry Fitzgerald hauled in three touchdowns for the first time in his career and absolutely tormented second-year cornerback Kyle Fuller on the way to doing it. Last year’s number-1 pick was benched in the 4th quarter in favor of Terrance Mitchell, a seventh-round pick of the Cowboys in 2014. He similarly felt the wrath of Fitzgerald, with the wide receiver laying a vicious stiff arm to his face on the way to his third score. See BEARS on Page 46
