Wells Fargo said on Tuesday that it had launched an independent investigation into the firm’s retail banking sales practices.

Wells Fargo, the United States’ third-largest bank by assets, agreed to pay $190 million earlier this month to settle regulatory charges that some of its employees opened as many as 2 million accounts without customers’ knowledge, in order to meet sales targets.

Wells Fargo Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf would forfeit equity awards valued at about $41 million and will not receive a salary during the investigation, the company said.

Stumpf, a member of the board, has recused himself from the investigation, the bank said.

Lawmakers on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee grilled Stumpf about the accounts last week, with some calling on him to resign and forfeit his earnings and hold other senior executives accountable.

Former retail banking head Carrie Tolstedt has also left the company and will not receive severance pay.

Tolstedt has forfeited unvested equity awards valued at about $19 million and will not exercise her outstanding options during the investigation, Wells Fargo said.

The San Francisco-based bank has said it has fired 5,300 people over the matter and would eliminate sales goals in its retail banking on Jan. 1, 2017.

Consumer and technology stocks, including Amazon, led gains on Wall Street on Tuesday, while a perceived win by Democrat Hillary Clinton in Monday’s first presidential debate gave broader support to equities.

The S&P 500 technology sector rallied 1.15 percent, powered by a 1.85 percent gain in Microsoft and a 1.08 percent rise in Facebook.

Amazon.com jumped 2.12 percent and the consumer discretionary index gained 0.99 percent after a report showed that the consumer confidence index for September rose to its highest level in nine years.

Following the first of three presidential debates on Monday, Republican candidate Donald Trump vowed to hit Clinton harder after she put him on the defensive. With six weeks until the Nov. 8 vote, some investors see the neck-and-neck contest sparking volatility in sectors including health insurers, drugmakers and industrials.

“From a market perspective, rightly or wrongly, there is an understanding that Mrs. Clinton would be a safe pair of hands, that there’s very little uncertainty there,” said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Clinton takes lead in Florida: poll

Democrat Hillary Clinton has pulled ahead of Republican rival Donald Trump in the traditional battleground state of Florida, strengthening her position in the race for the White House, the Reuters/ Ipsos States of the Nation project showed ahead of the pair’s first presidential debate on Monday night.

If the election were held on Monday, Clinton would lead Trump in the Electoral College by 259 to 191, with an 88 percent chance of reaching the 270 needed to win, according to the project’s results.

The project, based on a weekly online tracking poll of more than 15,000 Americans, estimates state-by-state results that will drive the voting in the Electoral College, the body that ultimately selects the president.

The results marked the first upward swing in the project for Clinton in several weeks.

The last release of the poll, on Sept. 16, gave her a 61 percent chance of winning by a margin of about 14 Electoral College votes.

The big difference now is that Florida, with its 29 Electoral College votes, favors Clinton 49 percentage points to Trump’s 45 points, the results showed.

Election 2016 | First Presidential Debate

Trump stumped in first round with Clinton

By Adam Quinn The Conversation

T

he big question going into the first debate of the presidential election was whether Donald Trump would decide to tone down the cartoonish, belligerent alpha male shtick that has carried him this far. The debate gave him an opportunity to present himself unfiltered to an audience predicted to rival that of a Super Bowl, and to reinvent himself as a calmer, more coherent candidate for the benefit of the unusually large number of undecided voters up for grabs.

If that was the plan, he didn’t have the self-control to pull it off; perhaps he didn’t even try. And in the end, the tens of millions of people who ultimately tuned in were given a stark view of Trump’s deep – many would say disqualifying – flaws.

He had clearly failed to prepare adequately for the occasion. He was unable to grasp with even moderate seriousness the issues, even when it came to his own proposals, and what positions he did articulate frequently appeared incoherent. He also repeated untruths on which he has previously been corrected – to put it bluntly, lying.

But perhaps the strongest impression he made was in how he carried himself: ranting, hectoring, often shouting. If part of the test was whether the candidates “looked presidential”, it was glaringly obvious by the end that a Trump presidency would radically redefine what that means.

Hillary Clinton’s main task, meanwhile, was to turn the spotlight on Trump’s past sins and to try to provoke him into an intemperate reaction, all without seeming supercilious.

It was a slow burn over the course of the debate’s more than 90 minutes, but by the end she had certainly put Trump under pressure and visibly got under his skin.

It was perhaps impossible to avoid a touch of condescension, such was the gulf in knowledge and capability between the candidates. Whether the voters will hold that against her, we shall see – but the gap between the two could not have been more apparent.

The cracks appear

Things actually started in somewhat subdued fashion. As is her trademark, Clinton came out of the gate like someone carrying several binders of preparation in her head, running gamely thorough a list of proposals – employee profit-sharing schemes, the importance of women’s work, paid family leave, debt-free college attendance, and the need to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share of tax.

Trump, also invited to open on the economy, accused China and Mexico of stealing American jobs. It wasn’t coherent by any normal standard, but he did sound a clear anti-trade

NBC News’ Lester Holt, the moderator for the first presidential debate, shakes hands with Republican candidate Donald Trump prior to Monday’s debate at Hofstra University.

Trump would blame a faulty mic Monday night for his faltering in the debate before turning his attention to Holt Tuesday morning on Fox News, saying, “I had some hostile questions... He didn’t ask her about a lot of things she should have been asked about.

There’s no question about it.” Trump had praised Holt immediately following the debate, saying the moderator had done a “great job” and was “very fair.” Reuters

note consistent with a core campaign theme.

This seemed to set the stage for exactly the debate many had predicted: Clinton vastly superior on range and detail, but failing to connect; Trump shallow and crass, but perhaps sending a clearer and more emotionally engaging signal.

It was enough to make some of those who consider Trump a terrifying threat shift a little nervously in their seats. And then his slow-motion meltdown began.

After some exchanges on trade in which Trump at least stuck to his message, Clinton took her first big swing, needling him on his failure to release his tax returns – as all other modern presidential candidates have.

Hitting her stride, she rattled off a list of the possible reasons Trump would keep them under wraps: that he is not as rich, or as charitable, as he claims; that he doesn’t want to reveal how much money he owes and to whom; or that he pays no federal income tax at all. Whatever the reason, she suggested, “It must be something really important, even terrible he’s trying to hide.”

Trump was stumped. At one point, he even interjected to apparently acknowledge that indeed he didn’t pay federal taxes and that in turn made him “smart”. He tried to pivot to the lingering topic of Clinton’s controversial use of a private email server while at the State Department, but she deflected that with a simple and direct expression of regret – and Trump duly set off on another tangent never to return to the email theme again.

Clinton followed up swiftly with a hard attack on Trump’s six corporate bankruptcies, and the long line of contractors he has failed to pay for their services over the years.

A new dynamic had taken hold: Clinton was sharp and on the attack, Trump was rattled and incoherent.

Asked to discuss race relations and

policing in America, Clinton reached out to African-Americans while also seeking the presidential high ground: “Everyone should be respected by the law, and everyone should respect the law.” For his part, Trump returned to the theme of his dystopian convention speech, “law and order”, before proceeding to tout his endorsement from the Fraternal Order of Police, lament the abolition of much-hated “stop-and-frisk” policies long associated with racial profiling, and raise the specter of criminal gangs of illegal immigrants roaming the streets.

It would be hard to construct a monologue more likely to alienate African-American and Latino voters.

Later, Trump was asked to address his former leading role in the “birther” movement that for years variously implied and insisted President Obama was not born in the US. Predictably, he dissembled – and Clinton helped seal the tomb of Trump’s relations with minorities. Calling birtherism a “racist lie”, she also took the moment to remind viewers that Trump had “a long record of engaging in racist behavior”, dating back to discriminatory practices in his property business in the 1970s that attracted the attention of the justice department.

The final blow

The climax of the debate came, however, when the debate turned to foreign policy. At first, it seemed to revert to type. In a riff on cybersecurity, Russia and terrorism, Trump threw out vague assertions that current policy was a failure and that Clinton had been around for a long time but solved no problems; Clinton came off knowledgeable, if a little dry.

Trump did seem to be losing the thread somewhat, as an answer supposed to be about addressing domestic sources of terrorism – and responding to Clinton’s assertion that it was

important to show all Muslims respect – turned into a free-associative ramble regarding NATO, the Iranian nuclear deal, Japanese car imports, and plenty else besides.

But it was when moderator Lester Holt pressed Trump on whether or not he had lied about being opposed to the Iraq War before it occurred that something in him seemed to snap. He set off on an epic rant that deserves to be remembered as one of the most spectacular meltdowns in the history of presidential debate.

His voice rose to a fully-fledged shout as he asserted again and again, losing his composure entirely, that his version of events was true.

Bizarrely and repeatedly, he directed his questioners to ask Fox News presenter (and avowed Trump supporter) Sean Hannity to testify to their past conversations on the subject. The rant seemed to go on forever, as moderator and opponent looked on silently.

In response to the next question, the steam from his loss of composure still rising, Trump declared, straight-faced: “I think my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament.” Clinton laughed audibly, and the audience joined in. The most telling point of the night had been made.

As the debate shortly turned to nuclear weapons, Clinton barely had to lift a rhetorical finger to remind the audience of the risks of turning over the codes for launch to someone so easily baited.

From that point, the deflating atmosphere of failure seemed to hover around Trump’s performance. He launched an attack on Clinton’s “stamina”, but she responded by listing the three-figure number of countries she visited as Secretary of State.

The moderator raised the topic of Trump’s previous comments about her “look”, and Clinton reminded the audience of Trump’s history of referring to women as “pigs, slobs and dogs”, even managing to work in the repulsive story of his calling a Latina pageant contestant, now an American citizen, “Miss Housekeeping” – a slur that won’t have been lost on Hispanic voters nationwide.

By the end of the debate, it was clear Trump had been defeated. First he was knocked off balance by a simple recitation of the facts of his own past, then he was provoked into a total loss of composure on live TV while applying for a job in which calm judgment is the absolute prerequisite. And finally, he was buried by a reminder of his rank sexism and racism. Clinton performed skilfully, but in the final analysis, he did it to himself.

As of today, there can no longer be any legitimate argument that voters are unaware of what kind of man Donald Trump is. He has been exposed, in the full glare of the public spotlight, as unqualified, unprepared and unfit for office. The only question is whether the American people will be responsible enough to act on that knowledge.

Judge limits same-day registration

By Timothy Mclaughlin Reuters

CHICAGO – A federal judge in Illinois on Tuesday blocked same-day registration at polling places in the state’s most populous counties, saying a law enacted last year disproportionately favored urban voters over their rural counterparts.

The ruling resulted from a federal court lawsuit brought in August by a group aligned with a conservative think tank challenging a state law allowing Election Day voter registration at polling places in counties with populations of 100,000 or more.

“The application of this legislation favors the urban citizen and dilutes the vote of the rural citizen,” Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan of the Northern District of Illinois wrote in his opinion on Tuesday, six weeks before the Nov. 8 election.

The Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center,

which filed the lawsuit, argued the population threshold unconstitutionally discriminated against voters in less populated counties and boosted Democrats in heavily Democratic Cook County, where Chicago is located.

“The court ruled that if Illinois is going to have Election Day voter registration at polling places, it should be available statewide - and it should be fair,” Jacob Huebert, a senior attorney for the Liberty Justice Center, or LJC, said in a statement on Tuesday.

Maura Possley, a spokeswoman for the state Attorney General’s Office, was not immediately available to comment on whether there would be an appeal.

LJC was founded by the Illinois Policy Institute, which keeps its donors secret, but Republican Governor Bruce Rauner, who took office in January 2015, has publicly acknowledged giving the group at least $500,000 over a period of years.

The law, passed in late 2014 by the Democratic-led legislature and signed in early 2015 by former Democratic Governor Pat Quinn, allowed Election Day voter registration for the first time, including at polling places.

But the section of the law pertaining to polling place registration pertained only to counties with populations of 100,000 or more.

Democratic state Senator Don Harmon said in a statement on Tuesday he was disappointed by the decision, which came on National Voter Registration Day, calling it a “blatantly political effort to quell participation in Illinois elections.”

Civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, also expressed unhappiness with the ruling.

“We are concerned about the impact of this decision, changing the rules of voting so close to this hotly contested election,” Edwin Yohnka, director of communications and public policy at the ACLU of Illinois said in a statement.

How to raise juror pay deliberated anew

The question of how to increase jury pay in Illinois without hitting taxpayers’ wallets is back after last week’s Illinois Supreme Court ruling struck down six-person civil juries as unconstitutional.

The Illinois Trial Lawyers Association (ITLA) supported the now-unconstitutional measure, which included a raise for jurors. ITLA President Chris Hurley said the idea was to reduce the number of jurors so they can be paid more.

“By striking the law down, we’re back to square one, which is the counties don’t have to pay jurors much, and they still need to use 12 jurors,” Hurley said.

Hurley said something has to be done to increase juror pay. “Up in Cook County, the largest venue for trials in the state, it’s $17 a day.”

Illinois Lawsuit Abuse Watch Executive Director Travis Akin said he understands $17 a day barely pays for parking in Chicago, but said cutting civil juries in half was the wrong approach.

“The idea is to get a diverse and well-put-together group of people to make these decisions, and you can’t really do that with a jury of six.”

Akin said there are other ways to pay jurors more without limiting the size of a jury or strapping county taxpayers with more costs, such as increasing case-filing fees to offset

higher juror pay.

“We can do that without raising taxes,” Akin said.

Akin commented that the struck-down measure was a last-minute giveaway to personal-injury lawyers from former Gov. Pat Quinn.

Student-loan debt advocacy group slams employer-aid bill

A student-loan debt advocacy group said a central Illinois congressman’s idea to allow employers to help employees with student-loan debt doesn’t address the real problem of skyrocketing tuition.

U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, said his legislation would allow an employer to contribute up to $5,250 a year toward an employee’s student loan debt. “And the benefit too, which differentiates it from current employer student-loan repayment programs, is the employee wouldn’t have to pay taxes on that benefit.”

Student Debt Crisis is a student-loan advocacy organization developed to push for reforms.

Digital Director Cody Hounanian said the bill would make the country complacent in the face of mounting student-loan debt.

“We don’t think that having an enormous

debt burden should be something that we kind of just accept as a consequence for going to college,” Hounanian said. “It shouldn’t be that way.”

Hounanian said Davis’ bill would make the employer foot the bill “and pretty much asks them to subsidize the cost that we would usually see from public investment.”

Hounanian added the problem needs to be addressed because mounting student-loan debt keeps people from the normal stepping stones in life, such as buying a car or a house.

Renewable energy resulting from the Fair

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

S

ince the first Annual Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair, we have been asked about examples of our successes. We know from our experiences, observations and discussions that our efforts have made a difference. Examples of installations appear in our weekly columns in The Rock River Times. A recent one described the installations of Klaus and Teri Hoffman.

To provide some answers to the question regarding the results of our efforts, we asked Dave Merrill to make a presentation at this year’s Fair on the range of installations he has made over the years.

Tom DeBates, a solar system installer and Fair participant, told us that he had installed a PV system at Butler Organic Farm near Malta (agrilicious.org/Butler-Farms). Its owners had come to our farm to inquire about our installation.

Jack Berry, a long-time visitor to the Fair, mentioned that his Unitarian Church in Elgin had installed a PV system on the roof and that members are considering additional installations. He recently sent a description of what has been accomplished along with a photograph of the system. Years ago we made a presentation of actions the church could take to make a transition to a cleaner energy system.

Many individuals, finally able to make the investment, express a long standing interest in solar or wind energy. Others indicate they never really thought about a system until they either saw one, read or heard about one in a news item or talked with friends who installed one.

An informal network of interactions stimulates people to learn about and act on an idea. Stimulating that network is why we offer the Annual Fair, invest a substantial share of our budget publicizing our efforts, offer workshops at our home and communi-

While describing successful installations does stimulate others to take similar actions, it is only a small part of the picture. The

installations have been financially possible as a result of declining costs and public policies that support the need to transition to cleaner energy sources.

From prairie to the White House Inside one Tribe’s quest to stop the Dakota pipeline

By Ernest Scheyder & Valerie Volcovici Reuters

CANNON BALL, N.D./WASHINGTON – Three days after guard dogs attacked Native Americans protesting an oil pipeline project in North Dakota in early September, an unprecedented event took place at the White House.

Brian Cladoosby, president of the National Congress of American Indians, which represents more than 500 tribes, spoke to nearly a dozen of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet-level advisers at a September 6 meeting of the White House’s three-year-old Native American Affairs Council.

It was the first time a tribal leader addressed a session of the council, and Cladoosby was invited in his role as the Indian Congress’ leader.

Cladoosby, a Swinomish Indian from Washington state, spoke twice at the one-hour roundtable. He told Reuters he praised the Obama administration in his opening statement for its track record on Native American issues such as pushing to reform the Indian Health Service.

But when Cladoosby gave his closing speech, he delivered an impassioned request to his audience: stand with Native Americans who have united with the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and block construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, a 1,100 mile conduit to get oil from North Dakota to Illinois.

That plea marked one of the previously unreported turning points in a drama that played out since February and culminated September 9 with an about face by the U.S. government, from giving the pipeline a green light to backing a request from North Dakota’s Standing Rock Sioux to halt construction of the pipeline.

The tribe fears sacred sites could be destroyed during the line’s construction and that a future oil spill would pollute its drinking water.

This month’s win for the tribe, which could be reversed by regulators, is a rare instance of protests resulting in quick federal action and the triumph of an unusual alliance between environmentalists and Native Americans, who both say they were emboldened by the defeat of the Keystone XL pipeline last fall.

It also was the most galvanizing movement in Native American politics in decades, some tribal leaders said, as Crow, Navajo, Sioux and

other traditional rivals united to fight what they considered an assault on their way of life.

Cladoosby did not play a high-profile role in the early days of the pipeline controversy.

But that day he spoke to a high echelon of power, including Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, White House Domestic Policy Council director Cecilia Munoz, and the heads of the Departments of Energy; Agriculture; Education; Health and Human Services; and the Environmental Protection Agency, according to a senior administration official who asked not to be named and to a photo of attendees seen by Reuters.

“The world is watching,” he said in prepared remarks shared with Reuters.

A few days earlier, video of pipeline security personnel in North Dakota armed with guard dogs and mace trying to disperse protesters went viral on social media.

One of the first videos was taken and posted

on Facebook by Lonnie Favel, a member of Utah’s Ute tribe who traveled to North Dakota to support the protests.

“I was getting messages of support from New Zealand, from Europe, from all over the world,” Favel said.

Until then, Obama had not weighed in on the Dakota dispute even though he personally had visited the Standing Rock in June 2014.

Just a day after Cladoosby issued his plea to administration officials, Obama attended a young leaders conference in Laos where a Malaysian woman asked him about the Dakota Access pipeline and how he could ensure a clean water supply and protect ancestral land.

Obama said he needed to ask his staff for more information, but touted his track record protecting Native Americans’ “ancestral lands, sacred sites, waters and hunting grounds,” adding, “this is something that I hope will continue as we go forward.”

A fateful decision

In late 2014, pipeline operator Energy Transfer Partners made a fateful decision.

Dallas-based ETP chose to route its proposed Dakota Access pipeline away from North Dakota’s capital, Bismarck, and southward within half a mile of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s reservation.

Part of its rationale, laid out in a report for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which regulates infrastructure projects that traverse certain inland waterways, was that the route would avoid Bismarck and thus pose no threat to the city’s water supply. The Bismarck route also is more populated and thus would require more easements from multiple landowners. Ironically, that 139-page report concluded the Standing Rock route would raise “no environmental justice issues” because the pipeline would not cross tribal lands.

Continued>>>

The Rock River Times | RockRiverTimes.com | September 28-October 4, 2016 | The Army Corps’ decision angered environmental activists and unwittingly introduced a powerful new element into the environmental movement: Indian rights groups, who quickly tapped into an extensive network of green activists forged during five long years of protests against TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline, which Obama formally nixed last November.

The protest gained steam in February when Standing Rock Sioux leaders asked for legal help from Earthjustice, an environmental law group that had previously helped U.S. tribes and Canadian First Nations fight Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, according to Jan Hasselman, an attorney from Earthjustice working on the North Dakota case, and tribal leaders.

Two months later, about 18 tribe members started praying daily near the pipeline’s planned route in North Dakota. The participants would grow in size, creating a group called the Sacred Stone Camp.

The international environmental movement soon took notice, including, 350.org, an environmentalist group that helped defeat the Keystone XL pipeline. In July, the group sent a delegation to the Sacred Stone Camp to see how they could help.

been percolating for months.

The Interior department, which is responsible for protecting Native Americans’ welfare, said the Army Corps “did not adequately justify or otherwise support its conclusion that there would be no significant impacts upon the surrounding environment and community” from the pipeline.

Energy Transfer, the Department of Justice, the Army Corps and the Department of the Interior did not respond to requests for comment.

The letter presaged the intra-government fighting ahead of the White House’s decision to temporarily block the line.

The federal delay of the pipeline “isn’t something that just fell out of the sky,” Archambault, the tribe’s chairman, said in an interview. “We feed (federal regulators) information all the time on everything that’s illegal here.”

Archambault declined to discuss responses from federal regulators he received.

On September 9, just three days after Cladoosby made his plea at the White House, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg rejected a request from the tribe to block the $3.7 billion project.

The federal delay of the pipeline “isn’t something that just fell out of the sky. We feed (regulators) information all the time on everything that’s illegal here.”

In many ways, the Dakota Access pipeline drew its inspiration from the fight to stop the Keystone XL pipeline, according to organizers from 350 and other environmental groups.

“We didn’t have to totally reinvent the wheel,” said Josh Nelson of Credo, a progressive advocacy group.

By then the Sacred Stone Camp, located alongside the confluence of the Cannon Ball and Missouri rivers about an hour south of Bismarck, had swollen in size to thousands, forming a de facto town of tents, teepees and trailers, a school, medic, communal kitchen, horse corrals and a legal clinic.

The tribal members and environmentalists agreed to seize on the U.S. Army Corps’ “fast-tracking” of permits for the pipeline in late July, which they argued was illegal and a violation of tribal rights, 350.org told Reuters.

In this case, the Corps had the right to approve pipelines in general and consider specific local concerns, such as Native issues, if appropriate.

The Corps said it effectively considered its due diligence requirement met when it green lit the line in July.

Later that same month, the tribe filed suit against the Army Corps in federal court.

Internal rift

While the government’s reversal in September caught most by surprise, a March 29 letter from the Department of the Interior to the Army Corps reviewed by Reuters shows that disagreements within the administration had

Minutes after that ruling, the Interior and Justice Departments, along with the Army Corps, suspended construction on a two-mile stretch of federal land below the Missouri River.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said federal regulators, who could still ultimately approve the project, called the pause to make sure the concerns of all parties were taken into account.

James Gette, a senior official in the environment and natural resources division of the DOJ, noted in a September 16 hearing that construction was halted mainly because the Dakota Access pipeline didn’t have an easement for the area where the tribe gets its drinking water.

Protesters have vowed not to leave their camp until the pipeline is scrapped or moved far away from their reservation. Their concerns about potential spills, it turns out, have precedent.

An analysis of government data by Reuters shows that Sunoco Logistics, the future operator of the pipeline and a unit of ETP, has had the highest rate of spills since 2010 than any of its competitors. Sunoco told Reuters it has taken measures to reduce its spill rate.

Cladoosby admits he “was really surprised” by the fast moving events after his strategically-timed entreaty.

He will be back at the White House on Monday and Tuesday. Leaders of 567 native American tribes will meet with Obama in Washington to tackle a range of issues facing Native Americans from economic development to environmental protection – including the Dakota Access pipeline.

Local

Actors sign on to local writer’s Kickstarter VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Twelve actors from L.A. to London have joined Belvidere writer Doug Shiloh for his Fall 2016 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to bring his story to life as a full-length comic book Dead Exit, a story set in the near future where violent crime is dealt with by using Death Row prisoners as movie stunt men in government-made films.

The Kickstarter project URL is kickstarter. com/projects/1569208231/dead-exit-thegraphic-novel. The project’s official site is deadexit.net. The goal of the project is $50,000 and will pay for printing costs, artist fees and more.

The campaign runs until October 25 at 10 a.m.

Shiloh will be a guest speaker on a panel discussion at the Rockford Geek’d Con Saturday which will take place at the Mercy Indoor Sports Center, 8800 E. Riverside in Loves Park. The panel is set for 11:25 a.m.-12:10 pm.

“There’s a wild, fun element to the story and ways for the reader to be in the comic, but it’s also a story about revenge and the cost of it,” Shiloh said. “It’s a timely story.”

AMC TV star Rich Graff (The Making of the Mob) serves as the artist’s reference model for “Senator Warren”, while New York City actor Ernesto Nodal plays “Josh Dakota.”

TNT’s Tony Denison (The Closer and Major Crimes) is cast as “Director John Brandt.”

At the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Graff

was named Best New Leading Role (Male) and in 2015, Vanity Fair named him one of the 100 Brightest Rising Stars. Graff has a top roles in 2016’s My Dead Ex-Boyfriend (with Heather Graham) and Black Wake (Eric Roberts and Tom Sizemore). Denison is enjoying a 12-year run as ‘Andy Flynn’ on TNT’s hit shows.

“If the project was a full-blown Hollywood movie, these are the actors I’d cast,” Shiloh said. “They have ‘the looks’ and the skills with the reel to prove it. It’s exciting to have these actors attached because everyone has a career that’s building.”

Graff will be portraying Senator Grayson Warren, a good cop and family man turned vengeful when his family is murdered during an active shooter event at a movie theater.

After burying his family and healing from his near-fatal wounds, Warren runs for Senate and develops “The Program.”

“The character of Warren is a villain for the ages,” Shiloh said. “Dakota (portrayed by Nodal) is a character everyone can identify with – a man trapped in an upside-down world with no way out.”

Others cast members are Warner Bros. Records’ recording artist Nina Bergman (Agent Toni Jenkins), Roxy Saint (Jade Bloodworth), Jimmy Star (Johnny B. Hollywood), Sienna Taylor (Vanessa Caleccio), Atlanta actors Martinez (Agent Harry Mosley) and Reggie P. Louis (Xavier Thompson), Jeannie McGinnis (TV Personality Liz Reynolds), James Jay Bryhan (Fitzgerald) and Chris Twomey (Agent Chandler).

The 128-page graphic novel comic book is based off of Shiloh’s original spec screenplay.

The color and pre-press will be handled by Pete Knipschield of PMK Creations who

worked on Michael Jordan’s book For Love of the Game. The crowdfunded paperback will be available in the Continental U.S. for $20 which includes shipping. Multi-language digital versions of the book for Kindles and computers will be available for $10 each. Versions in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Japanese and more are planned. Backers can bundle the paperback and digital version for $25. Full-size movie posters will be $15 with shipping included in the Continental U.S. The project can be followed at deadexit. net, on Twitter @deadexitcomic or through Facebook at facebook.com/deadexitcomic.

Nik’s Home Run celebrates 5 years

The Nikolas Ritschel Foundation (NRF) is gearing up for its principal fundraising event, the 5th Annual Nik’s Home Run, set to take place Saturday, October 15. Race day will feature a 7K race, a 1.5 Mile walk, and a giant silent auction.

The race will take place at Rockford Rivet’s stadium and each runner will have chance to finish the race crossing home plate. After the race, there will be a speeches from patients who have benefitted from NRF’s work. With over 100 items available, the silent auction will wrap up after the race. Last year, the event drew nearly 500 runners, walkers, and volunteers.

“Nik’s Home Run isn’t just for runners or fitness enthusiasts,” Kelli Ritschel Boehle, Executive Director, NRF, said, “There is opportunity for the whole family with our 1.5 mile walk and a truly incredible silent auction that has garnered really positive reviews in the past.”

The race marks a five year anniversary of

NRF’s first major step towards helping young adult cancer patients through enrichment opportunities such as vacations, trips, and special moments. What started out as small race to honor the memory of Nikolas Ritchsel, a Rockford native who lost his four-year battle with cancer at 21, has turned in a successful foundation helping 50 patients since its inception.

“NRF is serving a population that is often forgotten,” Ritschel Boehle said. “The race is our main fundraising event, but more importantly, it’s a way to recognize and celebrate young adults arguably going through the toughest challenges of their lives.”

According to the National Cancer Institute, the desire for a sense of normalcy in the face of illness is typical of adolescents and young adults affected by cancer, who face myriad psychosocial challenges ranging from emotional to financial. The work of the NRF aims to bridge that gap.

RAM opens new exhibit, Oct. 7

Rockford Art Museum (RAM) opens new feature exhibition Deconstructing the American Landscape on Friday, Oct. 7, with a preview for museum members that includes a gallery walk and reception with artists Sarah Krepp and Joel Ross from 5 to 7 p.m., followed by a public opening with free admission and cash bar from 7 to 9 p.m. that coincides with the first night of Fall ArtScene at RAM. The exhibition remains on view through Jan. 29 at Rockford Art Museum, inside Riverfront Museum Park, 711 N. Main St., Rockford.

Sarah Krepp and Joel Ross draw inspiration from the American landscape for their distinctive, visually challenging works that explore socially complex themes in dynamically different ways. Krepp exquisitely manipulates delicately shredded tires and scraps from the road into beautifully abstract paintings and installations, while Ross uses a subtler yet equally compelling approach to create text-based sculptures, mixed media installations, and photographs documenting his hyper-temporary public art installations.

Founding director of DIALOGUE Chicago, Krepp is professor emeritus and former chair of the painting program at the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where Ross is currently associate professor; he is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery, Chicago.

Related education programs held throughout the exhibition include a free artist lecture by Krepp on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.; and a free

artist lecture by Ross on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.; and Coffee with the Curator on Friday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. Organized by Rockford Art Museum and curated by RAM Curator Carrie Johnson, this exhibition and its related educational programming are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency and by the Armer Ahlstrand Charitable Foundation.

RAM education programs are supported in part

by Women’s Art Board.

Don’t Breathe a great psychological thriller

By Thomas Simpson

thieves, the Blind Man (Stephen Lang) is no easy mark and will go to great lengths to protect his property. He may be visually impaired but this is his domain and he’s in control.

I was in the minority when it came to Fede Alvarez’s remake of the Evil Dead. I didn’t feel it offered anything new to the genre and despite the director’s attempts to scare me, the overuse of gore did little to shock and left me bored by the end. With Don’t Breathe, Alvarez has binned the gratuitous carnage to focus on psychological

D

on’t Breathe is a great contender for this year’s best horror and is sure to creep into a few overall top 10 lists.

The most refreshing aspect of the film is that it shuns any supernatural involvement and opts for straight up terror with a human antagonist.

When a trio of burglars decide to go for a big score they figure that stealing from a blind man will be an easy job. Unfortunately for our

dread. With the Blind Man, he’s presented a daunting movie monster with an admirable amount of depth to his backstory that he slowly leaks throughout the film.

The majority of the film takes place within the house creating a terrible tension coupled with claustrophobia. The lights remain dim though Pedro Luque doesn’t put the audience in the dark with his cinematography. The gloom is polished with a grimy residue that adds to the house of horrors the three delinquents find themselves in.

The small cast doesn’t allow for a large body count and a slaughter isn’t missed. The kills are methodical and necessary with no character included merely as fodder. The lack of bloodshed makes each murder mean something which in turns allows the audience to invest more in the characters’ survival.

What is questionable is the potential spoiler that’s given away at the start of the

film. The opening shows the Blind Man dragging a victim which gives a strong indication as to how things will turn out.

Thankfully there’s enough twists and turns in the third act to keep you on the edge of your seat, including a grotesque reveal that had me squirming in disgust.

Don’t Breathe shuns the mystical theatrics that have worked well for recent horrors to scare audiences with good a good old fashioned psychopath.

The techniques employed by Alvarez are simple but effective with perhaps a little nod to Tremors thrown in for good measure. You won’t be checking under your bed when you get home but for the runtime of the movie you’ll be gripped to the screen.

Nominations open for 2016 RAMI awards

By Bruce Hammond Rockford Area Music Industry

Nominations for the 2016 RAMI (Rockford Area Music Industry) Awards are now open!

Like last year, there are three separate award categories: – People’s Choice Awards for Favorite Artist, Favorite Venue, Favorite Radio Station and Favorite Special Event are determined by the nomination/voting of the general public.

– Critic’s Choice Awards for Song, Album, Composer and Outstanding Achievement are nominated by RAMI Association members and awarded through the deliberations and vote of a panel of “experts”.

– The RAMI Awards for all performer/tech/ educator categories as well as the Lifetime Achievement and Community Service Awards are determined by a two-part nomination process and final vote by RAMI Association members only.

Each award category has its own nomination form. Submitting a nomination for one does not automatically make one eligible in either of the others.

This year’s ballot for organization members includes a Music Educator category for the first time. This is open to all school and private music instructors.

Detailed descriptions of the nomination/ voting process and required forms can be found at ramiawards.com. There have been some changes this year so we encourage everyone who desires to be engaged in the selection pro-

cess to visit the web site soon. This time around Association members will be required to set up an account password to log in to nominate or vote. This is a major change from past years.

The first round of nominations by Association members for RAMI category awards will close 10/28/16, so check your membership status or sign up to become a member soon.

Membership forms are available online or from members of RAMI Committee. Membership dues are $10/year or $15 for a two-year membership. Active participation in some facet of the music field is a requirement.

The Awards ceremony for 2016 nominees will be held April 21, 2017 at the Tebala Center On a more personal note: as someone who has been involved with the RAMI Awards since their inception 25 years ago, I would like to thank all of the volunteers, sponsors and, of course, the many musicians and techs who have helped the RAMIs evolve into what it is today.

But, if we are to keep this loose association of artists and artisans a viable and credible entity over the next 25 years, it is important that we expand the ranks of the RAMI Organization so that its membership base becomes ever more representative of the entire local music scene.

Toward that end I urge everyone who is involved in the local music scene to visit ramiawards.com. At the very least you can leave comments about how to improve the organization or check out our events calendar, but it would be preferable if you actually spend a few bucks to join the Association (if you are

Commentary

4 quotes from the first debate, explained

D

emocrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump faced off for their first debate at Hofstra University on Sept. 26. The Conversation asked a group of scholars to listen to the often heated exchange and react to just one quote related to their area of expertise. Here are those picks.

Emily Blanchard, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College

“They’re devaluing their currency… they’re using our country as a piggy bank to rebuild China, and many other countries are doing the same thing.” –Trump It is not surprising that trade, trade agreements and especially trade with China came under heavy fire in Monday’s debate. Trade – together with technology – has undeniably reshaped the American labor market over the past decade, partly at the expense of middle-class workers.

But with this line about Chinese currency policy, Trump struck wide of the mark. First, the devaluation accusation leveled against China is out of date. While most economists agree that earlier this century the Chinese central bank artificially depressed the value of its currency (which made Chinese exports more competitive in world markets), the opposite has been true for more than a year, as China has faced mounting pressure to prop up its currency in the face of outward capital flight.

Second, the idea that China is using its trade surplus with the U.S. “as a piggybank” to rebuild its economy demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of balance of payments accounting. When a country runs a trade surplus, it is by definition acting as a net lender to the rest of the world. Likewise, when a country runs a trade deficit, it is a net recipient of saving by the rest of the world.

By using its trade surpluses to buy U.S. assets (mostly T-bills), China has helped to keep U.S. borrowing costs phenomenally low for more than a decade. If anything, it is China that has been serving as the piggybank to rebuild the U.S. Blanchard’s work centers on the economics and policy implications of globalization.

Richard Painter, University of Minnesota

“I have no reason to believe that he’s ever going to release his tax returns, because there’s something he’s hiding. …I think the question is, were he ever to get near the White House, what would be those conflicts? Who does he owe money to? Well, he owes you the answers to that, and he should provide them.” –Clinton Clinton and Trump went back and forth on his refusal to disclose his tax returns. The exchange seemed to reveal that on the whole he has paid relatively little tax, but that cannot be verified without the returns.

Trump said that the returns were not being released because they were under audit, but Clinton did not follow up with him as to what that has to do with public disclosure and how disclosure could in any way interfere with the audit.

More important, there was not a detailed discussion of what we could learn from the tax returns that we cannot learn from his Form 278 Financial Disclosure that he did file as a candidate. He said that there is relatively little we could learn from the tax returns, but tax returns have very different information than Form 278, so his claim that the two overlap is not true. First, the tax returns disclose what tax provisions he benefits from, which is an important issue. Are they loopholes or intended tax benefits that Congress has put in the code?

He should not be embarrassed about paying less tax if that is the way the tax code is structured, but he should be up front about that and how as president he would either change the tax code so people like him pay more or whether he would keep it the same.

Second, he talks a lot about businesses making money by sending jobs overseas. Tax returns would tell us a lot about how much income he earns overseas (generally income is taxed where it is made). The Form 278, by contrast, does not require significant disclosure of the geographic location of income and assets. Many of the LLCs and corporations on his Form 278 may be organized in the U.S. but have assets and income overseas. His tax returns would provide some information about this.

There is nothing inherently wrong with

Trump or anyone else investing overseas and deriving income overseas or even creating jobs there, but he should be open about how his own business practices relate to the issues he is talking about. We need the tax returns in order to do that.

Painter served as chief White House ethics lawyer during the George W. Bush administration.

Chad Williams, Brandeis University

“I say nothing.” –Trump Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump delivered this blunt answer to debate moderator Lester Holt when asked about racial healing and what he might say to Americans who found his continued claims that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States racist.

Trump, instead of offering any semblance of remorse for his actions, took this opportunity to congratulate himself for compelling President Obama to produce his birth certificate and boasted that he was proud of his accomplishment.

Trump has recently gone to great lengths to paint himself as African-Americans’ best friend.

He has done so in part by depicting a hellish picture of black inner-city communities, exploited by Democratic politicians and ravaged by violence, disease and poverty, which only he can remedy by enforcing “law and order.” The false sincerity of Trump’s outreach was fully exposed by his callous disregard of the damage wrought by his birtherism campaign.

Trump launched his presidential aspirations by declaring the first African-American president of the United States illegitimate.

This was not just a personal attack on Barack Obama, but also an attack on the millions of black people who supported him and understood what it meant to have their American citizenship questioned.

Trump promises to be president for all Americans. He brags that African-Americans are flocking to his campaign. Yet recent polls still place his support among black voters at between 3 and 6 percent. This is not an accident. When it comes to being a president that will care about the true concerns of

African-Americans and address the nation’s deep-seated problems of racial injustice, Trump says nothing and offers nothing.

Williams is coeditor of Charleston Syllabus: Readings on Race, Racism and Racial Violence.

Valerie Hudson, Texas A&M University

“So let’s have paid family leave, earned sick days.” –Clinton “As far as childcare is concerned and so many other things, I think Hillary and I agree on that.” –Trump While it was gratifying to see the first female presidential candidate from a major U.S. political party on stage Monday, what was perhaps even more gratifying was that for the first time, both candidates – one of whom will be our next president – agreed that paid family leave should be the law of the land. We are now one of only two nations in the world that does not provide paid maternity leave (Papua New Guinea is the other), despite the fact that research has shown that such leave decreases levels of postpartum depression and increases levels of breastfeeding.

Even with the Family and Medical Leave Act’s provisions, the leave is unpaid, and it is also unavailable to 40 percent of American workers.

No matter who is elected, we will apparently finally have paid leave, and our children will not have to face the heart-wrenching choices their parents faced.

But there’s more that must be done, as positive a first step as this would be. The larger issue of the invisibility of (largely) women’s unpaid caregiving labor goes beyond paid family leave, and includes issues of workplace fairness for home health care workers, of the massive shortfall in quality daycare in our nation, and of the persistently high poverty rates of caregivers in their old age. Those who represent the social safety net for the vulnerable in our society should not be forced to operate without a net themselves. And when important economic decisions are made for our country, primary caregivers should have a seat at the table to represent this critical element of our economy that would otherwise remain invisible.

Hudson is the coauthor of The Hillary Doctrine: Sex and American Foreign Policy.

The transformation is almost complete

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

S

ince his inauguration, Gov. Bruce Rauner has consciously aped Washington, D.C.’s notoriously noxious battle to “win” the daily media spin cycle. The Republican has a set base of talking points based on tried and true poll-tested topics, and he rarely if ever deviates.

While Chicago suffered through its most violent summer in decades, the governor routinely focused his public comments on term limits - a not so subtle dig at the horribly unpopular Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan’s decades-long tenure, but an issue without hope of passage and irrelevant to some very serious and immediate crises, like the one pummeling our state’s largest city.

More bad economic or fiscal news?

Rauner reliably trots out a vague promise of “reforms”— swearing that the Democratic leaders have promised to take them up just as soon as the campaign is over, even though his reforms would mean eviscerating the Democrats’ chief political allies (labor unions and trial lawyers) and Senate President John Cullerton has denied any such offer was ever made.

The nuclear dumpster fire that is the

presidential campaign? The governor says he is simply too focused on reforming Illinois to care, or even to share who he might be voting for.

And now one of Rauner’s closest allies, the far right Illinois Policy Institute, is producing a campaign-style “documentary” about Madigan, just like similar dark money groups in D.C. have been nauseatingly churning out for years.

It’s no surprise that this movie fits in neatly with Rauner’s entire campaign strategy. Since early June, the Republicans have aired millions of dollars’ worth of television and radio ads and sent out countless mailers all designed to tie Democratic legislators and candidates to Madigan. Almost every dime of their funding for those attacks has come from Gov. Rauner (and yet, Rauner has repeatedly insisted that he’s not involved, other than to write a few checks).

It’s all one big thing. All Madigan, all the time.

And while Gov. Rauner has brought Washington’s never-ending campaign to Illinois’ executive branch, he also has a similarly tiny list of accomplishments to show for it. His administration has so far been little more than a frantic exercise in treading water until his chief

nemesis can finally be vanquished, or at least brought to heel.

But this isn’t a completely new development. We’re already familiar with some of this in Illinois.

Speaker Madigan has been doing something similar for years, albeit on a much smaller, less obviously dramatic, less technologically advanced and less expensive scale.

His House chamber’s agenda is almost entirely organized around making sure that Madigan gets his more vulnerable incumbents reelected. And those vulnerable members are advised to take whatever positions are necessary to win reelection (including fanning the already intense flames of hate against Madigan’s home town of Chicago).

There was a time when Madigan had a specific “theme” for each legislative week, only voting on bills that matched the weekly issue. He even at one point tried his hand at (ahem) publishing a Statehouse newsletter.

Madigan has refused to discuss any significant deal on the governor’s Turnaround Agenda, sticking closely to his talking points that Rauner is “operating in the extreme,” even though Madigan has often supported legislation in the past that unions didn’t love.

Madigan won’t budge this time

because Rauner’s overt hostility has sent all those unions running to the speaker with wide open checkbooks and huge lists of precinct workers. There’s simply no political advantage to compromise, unless Rauner’s gamble pays off and he successfully makes Madigan the big issue of the year and Madigan loses a bunch of seats.

Otherwise, we may not see a deal during the “lame duck” session after the election and the impasse will likely drag on. If there is no progress, Rauner will undoubtedly make his entire 2018 reelection campaign about Madigan.

But next time, it won’t be a few tens of millions of dollars like this year. It’ll be real money. Maybe $100 million.

And, unless Hillary Clinton manages to lose the presidential race, the governor’s reelection campaign will occur during yet another Democratic midterm election, which will make it that much easier to get his anti-Madigan message through to voters. (One of Rauner’s many valid and understandable reasons for refusing to give any overt public aid or comfort to Trump is that a Trump win would devastate Rauner’s reelection chances.)

This battered, much-maligned state shouldn’t have to endure this agony, but here we are, like it or not.

Letters to the Editor Thank you, from The Music Academy

On Sunday, September 11, The Music Academy hosted a donor appreciation event in partnership with Indian Hill Manor and Farm. The Manor opened their elegant doors to welcome over 150 guests into another time and era. Salon music, lawn games, high tea, and plein air painting greeted guests of The Music Academy who generously support our work.

The highlight of the afternoon was the performance by 26 young students.

Many of these students are recipients of scholarship and/or financial aid. Among them were some of the school’s most accomplished students who exemplify well our mission of providing high quality, comprehensive and affordable music education. Bonnie Smeja, one of our hosts, commented, “This is the best music the Manor living room has ever heard!” Bonnie Smeja’s comment is quite

a compliment given that the manor house is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The synergistic partnership between The Music Academy and the gifts we offer with Indian Hill Manor and the treasures if offers made for a memorable afternoon.

Many thanks to our steadfast donors who share our vision and act upon it.

Thanks also to our students, our dedicated artist faculty members, as well as the many devoted volunteers who provided for this lovely afternoon. Special thanks to the Smeja Family Foundation for allowing us the privilege to share this amazing venue with the friends and families of The Music Academy. It truly is a treasure in our community.

It was our pleasure to celebrate those donors who have supported and encouraged the work of The Music Academy over the past 31 years. They believe, as do we, that an arts education is essential to the growth and development of our

students and of our community.

Marti Franz Executive Director, The Music Academy in Rockford

Fuel efficiency is important for our children’s health

As a mother of three and a nurse who supports families with at-risk newborns, car efficiency standards are important because they decrease vehicle emissions, which, in turn, helps reduce smog and protect children from illness.

I am thankful to see that in less than ten years time the average fleetwide fuel economy for new cars sold in the United States will be required to reach 54.5 miles per gallon.

Seeing as how nearly half of all Americans an estimated 150 million people - live in areas that do not meet federal air quality standards, CAFE fuel efficiency standards will greatly

improve the health and wellbeing of people all across this country.

According to a 2013 MIT study, every year more than 58,000 premature deaths occur that can be directly attributed to vehicle emissions. In another 2013 study by Julia Heck, PhD, children under the age of 6 in California were significantly more likely to develop cancer when their mother lived in areas of high vehicle emission pollution.

The next round of fuel efficiency rules, which go into effect starting next year, are an important step forward to cleaner air and better health. As the Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration complete a review of the rules, I urge these agencies to maintain strong standards through 2025. I for one don’t want my children or children under my care breathing in unnecessary toxic fumes. And thanks to these new rules, they won’t have to.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: Hip hip hurray! We are finally done with one hell of a Mercury retrograde as of September 22. Even though we will feel a few hiccups from the after shadow that will last until October 6, the energy in general should be visibly lighter and exhibit a focused purpose.

Mars moved into Capricorn on September 27 and will remain until November 9 giving us additional muscle mass to achieve our goals. At a slow, steady and deliberate pace we can achieve each and every one of them during this lunar cycle. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You’re able to put many frustrating outside influences aside this week and concentrate on your own ambitions now. Set some boundaries and focus on your long-term goals. Expansion with career arrives this month. The word is out that you’re the person to get the job done. Others notice your positive input, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— A romantic partner can offer some wise advice regarding your personal connections at this time. Be open and allow those around you to provide you with insight. If you can take a timeout to digest all of the information, a solution to a long-standing problem will arrive shortly, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — An impromptu gathering will provide you with new connections for love as well as business. Make sure you are stepping out there and accepting invitations to socialize this week. Be cautious of the feet and knees during this time. You cannot afford to be laid up with this hectic schedule arriving at this time, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Good news regarding home and property arrives at this time. You are able to get those nagging projects out of the way and expand upon your current element. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. You will find the bargain of a lifetime or sell something that you no longer have any use for. Save some money for a rainy day, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Changes within your current home environment will create some lucky shifts within your personal life. Pick up a book on Feng Shui and find a way to create sacred space within your living quarters. The stagnation that you have felt recently will break loose at this time. All eyes are on you, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Time is going by so fast. There just hasn’t been any personal time to get anything done. Try not to beat yourself up over this aspect. As October arrives your energy levels will begin to rise and you will be able to catch up on your mundane tasks. In addition to that, you

will find the time to socialize a bit as well.

A night out on the town will provide some much-needed humor, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Get all of your annoying tasks out of the way early this week. There will be plenty of travel and long-distance communication throughout October. This could leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed if you are not prepared. Take extra care with your home, property and pets during this lunar cycle. Make sure that competent people are involved. Ask for backup if need be, Libra Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Pay very close attention to those nearest and dearest to your heart this week. Outside influences could be creating such a distraction that you are not aware of what’s going on in your own backyard. Health issues may become a concern for a family member or a friend. Pay very close attention to what someone may not be saying and note any unusual behavior. You may save someone from a physical breakdown at this time, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — If you have not made a shift with your work environment expect opportunities to arrive throughout the next three months. The stagnation with career you have been experiencing will break loose shortly. The powers that be will lead you in the right direction and will be able to value your gifts. Follow your dreams, hopes and ambitions this fall. The universe will not steer you wrong, Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Powerful financial activity puts you in the driver’s seat in October. Now would be a great time to look at your long-term financial goals. You may also be in a position to make a major purchase as well. Try not to complicate this element with fear or stress.

Trust that the universe has a plan for you and you will not fail. Fear only creates more conflict in the grand scheme of things. If traveling, leave a contact number in case of an emergency, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — An unexpected treasure arrives from an unusual source this week. Go for it, this may have some longterm benefits as well as sentimental value for you or for someone close to you. You are full of surprises this week and everyone is elated with your energy levels now. Take extra precautions while traveling this month. With all of this additional activity arriving you do not have time for a transportation setback. Be cautious with children and pets, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Throw out the textbook and utilize your intuition instead during this lunar cycle. Not everything goes as expected and you need to be in a place where you can improvise quickly. Your sharp wit can get you through some frustrating obstacles. You have the ability to help another see things clearly, if you listen instead of drawing conclusions without all of the facts, Pisces.

I have always said, if I can teach you just one thing that you can pass on to loved ones, I have done my job. I hope that after you have read this article I have educated you on your health so you can pass it on.

Alzheimer’s is such a sad disease and it is expected to triple within the coming decade and according to medical doctors there is no cure for this horrific disease. Through my clinical observations, I have put together certain medication, lifestyle and food choices that keep showing up with everyone that has dementia and Alzheimer’s. The size of your brain has everything to do with the size of your belly. Yes, as your weight goes up your brain size goes down. This has been documented through Dr. Amen at his brain clinic. As your weight goes up your ability to reason goes down. Looking good and keeping a healthy weight is not just about vanity it has everything to do with your physical and emotional

health. It is your brain that tells you to step away from the dinner table when you start to get full. It is your brain that tells you to have another piece of birthday cake when you should be watching your blood sugar. When your brain is unhealthy you make unhealthy choices. If you want a healthier body it has to start with your brain.

Obesity is a health crisis. Do you know that over 50 percent of our population is now considered obese? I did not say overweight I said obese.

Obesity increases your risk of Alzheimer’s, depression, anxiety, cancer and diabetes.

If you or a loved one has any of the above issues, please do not hesitate to call and make an appointment to become a healthier, happy and smarter person you deserve to be.

Mr. Green Car

The advantages of daytime running lamps

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

D

amn! That was close. I was about to pull out onto Highway 251 from our frontage road, when out of the misty morning suddenly appeared a small black sedan. Over the 30 mph speed limit – as everyone else, always – and with no headlights on. I hit the brakes and held short of pulling out, but was about one second away from being broadsided.

She had every legal right to be driving without her lights on, but it was not a good idea, particularly on this morning with no sunshine. Black cars blend in with the blacktop of our roads making them especially hard to see, and the days of shiny chrome bumpers are long gone. Other vehicles approaching from the other direction had their headlights on and were easy to spot.

Admittedly, I had not turned on my headlights yet either. But the incident prompted me to do so. Just because you can see fine does not mean you can be SEEN. When did manufacturers stop building cars with automatic daytime running lights (DRL)? The answer is; it’s complicated.

My old 1981 Honda Civic has a manual light switch (and now a separate switch for the tail and dash lights) and no buzzer to warn they are on. My 1987 VW Vanagon Camper has a manual switch, but if you forget to turn them off it reverts to only running lights – sparing your battery some load. I’d long planned to install an electrical relay in the Honda making the lights automatic – engine is on, so are the lights, and likewise if engine is off, so are the lights. An old Fiat 128 SL I had used a very similar system. You could not leave the lights on accidentally – same is true of most motorcycles, which are required by law to have their lights on all the time for being SEEN. The auto industry has for far too long hung onto this outdated notion of headlight switches that can be turned on without a key. I have never had a reason to turn on my headlights without having the key

with me. This still persists in some low-end models. Most new vehicles have automatic headlights that come on when it gets dark, but have to be turned on manually to operate in other low light conditions. Our Volt has both automatic daytime running lights and automatic full headlights. If on manually and you turn the car off, you will be chided to turn off the headlights. Again, why would I have the headlights on more than a minute or two after getting out. My old Plymouth mini-van will turn off the lights after a few minutes if you forget.

During our vacation trip out west I drove with my headlights on all the time in our 2002 Suburban. Chevrolet had a joke of small daytime running lights on this vehicle, and like all others like it – seems to have one that is burnt out. I prefer to be seen, so I turn them on manually, and forget to turn them off half the time until I hear the reminder chime.

Most drivers out west do not have their headlights on even though we are all traveling at 70 mph on two-lane highways.

I had thought daytime running lights had

been mandatory, but after looking into the law, found that it has become optional – and apparently most manufacturers are opting not to include this as a standard feature. I am quite surprised the insurance industry has not demanded NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) require all vehicles to have this simple life saving feature.

A 2008 study by the NHTSA however found that DRLs did not statistically influence safety. I find this very hard to believe. European countries, in particular dark Scandinavians ones, find the opposite – improvements in accident reduction by three fold. It was Canadian requirements that got General Motors to actually lobby to have DRLs be mandatory – since they did not want to have model variations. And so it is, that in the United States it is not federally mandated to have DRLs. Many states, like Illinois, do have laws requiring headlight or DRL usage any time the windshield wipers are in use though.

Europeans and their car makers have been far more accepting of DRLs. Recent technology improvements have brought us

the dedicated LED type daytime running light that uses far less power (lower emissions) than a full on headlight, and reduces glare while still providing the benefit of increased visibility. Newer cars also have switching to turn off one headlight while a turn signal is in use – helping to see the turn signal light. Out on the highway – one can see that roughly half the cars have some sort of light on during daylight hours – and they are clearly easier to spot than those without lights on.

And so we have, in the United States, a variety of displays of DRLs as the individual manufacturers incorporate them, or not, into their vehicles. As an environmentalist I’m a bit torn between advocating headlight usage all the time which does enhance safety – and the environmental impact of doing so. So, I’ll fudge a bit and say, if it’s the least bit gloomy – turn on your lights. Bright sunny day – save the pollution and turn them off, but if you have newer low watt DRLs, do by all means use them all the time as the environmental impact is minimal.

Saving seeds: your next steps

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

As with last week’s article in seed saving, you’ve now determined what seeds you are going to save from your garden. These are seeds that are heirloom or open-pollinated.

As you pick vegetables to save seeds, you want those vegetables that are fully ripe.

Seed saving from different families requires different processes.

For the solanaceous family of peppers and tomatoes, these will require a bit more patience. Tomatoes are tricky as you are removing the seeds from the liquid part of the tomatoes. To achieve this, you want to place the tomato pulp into a container mixed with water.

Set this on a kitchen counter away from sunlight for a couple of days which allows for the water-tomato pulp to ferment. Viable seeds will float to the bottom of this mixture.

You may need to scrap off this layer of fermented foam.

Most pepper seeds do not require the same work as tomatoes but will need tweezers to disconnect from the white part. Once

it’s clear that the tomato seeds are ready to be saved, use a fine strainer to rinse and clean the seeds.

Beans can stay in the pods until the plant dies. You do want to make sure that the pods do not shatter and open on to the ground.

For your cucurbit family of squash, watermelon, and pumpkin, remove seeds from the pulp. It may be easy to lay these out on a piece of newspaper for a couple days for the meat of the pumpkin or gourd to dry out and seeds be removed. You’ll want to wash these seeds as well.

Once you’ve got your seeds, you want to place them out to dry for a couple of days.

Paper plates can work well for this. You’ll place them into an envelope or jar. While some people place seeds in the fridge, this can present a challenge: moisture is a key culprit in leading to decay and fungal growth on seeds. You are better off storing the seeds in a cool, dry place in your home away from sunlight.

Too early to sell the 2017 soybean crop?

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Soybean prices during the last five months of the 2015-16 marketing year averaged much higher than during the first seven months of the year. According to a University of Illinois agricultural economist, the average daily bid price at central Illinois locations was $8.67 during the first seven months and $10.28 during the last five months of the year. Those daily prices ranged from $8.40 on March 1, 2016 to $11.58 on June 30, 2016.

“Through the first half of the 201516 marketing year, the soybean market traded on the basis of prospective year-ending stocks of U.S soybeans of 450 to 460 million bushels,” says Darrel Good. “The 2015 U.S crop was very large, following an equally large crop in 2014; the 2016 South American crop was expected to be record large; U.S. exports were expected to be 150 million bushels smaller than in the previous year; and U.S. producers were expected to expand planted acreage in 2016 following the weather-induced decline in 2015.”

As it turned out, Good says the South American crop was 225 million bushels smaller and U.S. exports were 250 million bushels larger than projected in March, U.S. producers increased soybean plantings less than expected, and the USDA’s Sept.

1 Grain Stocks report to be released on Sept. 30 is expected to show marketing-year-ending stocks of only195 million bushels. If confirmed, year-ending stocks will have been below 200 million bushels for two consecutive years following early year expectations for stocks to exceed 450 million bushels. Ending stocks have

exceeded 200 million bushels only once since 2008.

“Soybean prices have now receded from the summer highs, with central Illinois bid prices currently averaging about $9.30, still about 75 cents higher than prices a year earlier,” Good says.

“Prices have declined as new-crop soybeans have become available and have alleviated some of the tightness in old-crop supplies, resulting in a much weaker basis than experienced earlier in the month. In addition, early yield reports tend to confirm USDA’s forecast of a record-high U.S. average yield this year, with some potential that the yield will exceed the current forecast of 50.6 bushels per acre.”

With consumption during the 2016-17 marketing year already pro-

jected to be record large, Good says an increase in the average yield forecast (without an unexpected decline in the estimate of harvested acreage) would likely result in an increase in the current projection of year-ending stocks of 365 million bushels.

According to Good, two additional factors point to the potential for additional weakness in soybean prices as the 2016-17 marketing year unfolds.

First, is the likely rebound in South American production in 2017.

“The USDA expects a modest increase in soybean acreage for harvest in South America next year,” Good says. “Although an increase of only 1.5 percent is currently projected (mostly in Brazil), normal yield levels result in a projected 3.5

percent (220 million bushels) yearover-year increase in South American production. If that large crop materializes, the pace of U.S. exports would be expected to experience the normal sharp seasonal decline beginning in the spring of 2017.

“A second factor that could contribute to lower soybean prices is an increase in soybean acreage in the U.S. in 2017,” Good says. “Although it is too early to form solid expectations about U.S. acreage, low prices of other commodities relative to soybeans would be expected to result in some switch away from those crops to soybeans.

In particular, the large increase in corn acreage in 2016, prospects for relatively large year-ending corn inventories, and the relatively high cost

of producing corn would be expected to result in fewer corn acres in 2017.”

Futures prices for the 2017 corn and wheat crops are higher than prices for the 2016 crop, but those prices are still low relative to prices for the 2017 soybean crop. The USDA’s Winter Wheat Seedings report released in the second week of January 2017 will provide the first indication of acreage response to current price levels.

Good says the size of the 2017 soybean crop will still largely hinge on the average yield. “It will be interesting to observe if three consecutive years of above trend U.S. average soybean yields will alter early expectations for the average yield in 2017.”

Although the potential for larger South American and U.S. soybean crops in 2017 are widely recognized, prices for the 2017 crop remain well supported. November 2017 futures are currently trading only about 3 cents below November 2016 futures and July 2018 futures are 19 cents below July 2017 futures. Bids for 2017 harvest delivery in central Illinois are near $9.15.

“With so much production uncertainty over the next 10 months, a strong pace of Chinese buying, and the recent history of smaller than expected year-ending stocks, it is not completely surprising that the market is not yet reflecting the potential for a growing surplus of soybeans during the 2017-18 marketing year,” Good says. “The question for producers is whether or not current prices offer a pricing opportunity for a portion of the 2017 crop. The answer is more likely to be yes for those who intend to increase soybean acreage in response to current price relationships.”

NFL

Bears regression continues as ‘hot seat’ grows

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

I

n John Fox’s first season, the Bears started 0-3, the statistical death knell of any team looking to make the postseason. That stretch had the team facing three NFC powerhouses in the Packers, Cardinals, and Seahawks, with established veteran star quarterbacks and foundations for each. Given the Bears’ relative lack of talent and status with a new head coach and general manager, the winless start was more or less part of expectations.

The 2016 season hasn’t been as kind in those respects.

While yes, the Bears have been decimated by injuries defensively, and are currently without their starting quarterback in Jay Cutler, their 0-3 start this year paints the picture of a franchise derailing off of the tracks. Following the Bears 31-17 loss to Dallas on Sunday night, they have started the season winless to quarterbacks with 16 combined starts. Sunday in particular, was the most embarrassing, as Chicago fell behind 24-3 to rookie Dak Prescott and company, with most of the game being played in garbage time. The barometer is set very low. Whatever defensive upgrades they have made pale in comparison to the relative failure they’ve had to rattle these inexperienced players on above average to borderline playoff teams.

The Texans, Eagles, and Cowboys appear to be solid with elite level players at some positions while possessing general flaws like any other organization. However, they are hardly the murderer’s row compared to what a less talented and organized Chicago had to face years previously. Being in a rebuild, the Bears never had the thought of winning a Super Bowl this year, far from it, unless somehow the dominoes fell in destined fashion.

But they were expected to

progress. They were expected to have a collective coherence together where everybody understands their responsibilities as a growing team.

The haphazard product, which again, admittedly has been hampered by injury, has the Bears free falling.

And injury can’t even be that much of an excuse considering every team deals with the same problem. “Next man up” is a cliché in sports but it’s inherently true. Be prepared to step in to do your job at an effective level.

Coach that player to reach that level.

It sounds simple enough but Chicago doesn’t have a grasp of the concept at the moment. The Bears don’t have enough depth to withstand losing starters like Danny Trevathan, Eddie Goldman, Kyle Fuller, etc. but the guys stepping in should show they have an understanding of the system they are playing in.

Now, there’s the danger of excuses pouring in, something this team cannot afford if it’s to progress. A hard rebuild – bereft of talent and depth – looks like this and will have difficult strife on the way to contention. The Bears have no current draft picks from the Jerry Angelo era on the roster or in the NFL, and only a few from Phil Emery’s tenure in Fuller, Kyle Long, and Alshon Jeffery still with the team. That’s not a recipe for success.

This is the product you get while your incumbent general manager in Ryan Pace fills the bare cupboard.

Patience is key, but only to a point.

To coach John Fox’s credit, he’s sticking to his regular veiled shtick.

“They don’t cancel the rest of the season. You’ve just got to find a way.”

Fox has never been known to reveal much in press conferences, nor should he necessarily change his status quo, but he better hope his team finds a way soon to back his words up.

Chicago next has division rival Detroit on the docket, with Cutler in all likelihood returning to his mantle.

If the Bears fall to 0-4 against a flawed struggling opponent much like them at home again, it will comfortably be over a year since their last victory at Soldier Field. In fact, the next few weeks present “winnable” games for the Bears. Following the Lions, comes the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars, teams with a combined one win on the season.

Chicago cannot afford to continue pitching an embarrassing loss shutout leading into another schedule quirk where they face Green Bay and Minnesota – two powerhouses – in back-to-back weeks on national television before the bye week. An 0-8 start with Fox and all of the talent on this roster, whether healthy or not, presents catastrophe. That scenario would have the hot seat for the veteran coach beginning to metaphorically emit flames.

You can already see him beginning to lay the possible groundwork of a scapegoat. When asked if it’s a given that Cutler even returns when healthy, Fox responded, “I don’t think there are any givens.”

Not to draw too many conclusions but you know that he knows what the potential future could hold, so why not blame the brunt of the team’s issues on the flawed starter to save your own job? It’s what Marc Trestman did to try to save his career on the lakefront two years ago. However, moving to the backup quarterback won’t have the desired effect to “inspire” the team, it just doesn’t work that way.

Speaking of emulating the legendary Trestman, the Bears are now 6-13 through 19 games of Fox’s tenure. Chicago was 10-9 through the same stretch under the mad offensive genius. Progression is not on the horizon. A potential top-five pick and shot at a new quarterback in April seems more likely, without Fox present. There’s time of course, but the groundwork of a fresh start is already being laid down.

When continuing to talk about this season’s ongoing struggles, Fox quipped, “You make your own luck.”

Not an uncommon concept from Fox for a team to create plays and the idea of luck.

The kind of luck that this team needs right now however, involves every available rabbit foot, wishbone, and four-leaf clover.

Week 4 vs. Lions

Last year had the Bears beat the inexperienced Raiders at home to come off the schneid. If there was ever a welcome reprieve for a winless team, it would be the just as injury-riddled Lions.

When the Bears are on defense: The status of the Bears defense without nose tackle Goldman and several defensive backs in the concussion protocol could not have come at a worse time against quarterback Matthew Stafford and a space and pace offense in Detroit.

Stafford is currently sixth in the NFL in passer rating, third in yards, and is tied for third in touchdown passes with seven. Detroit’s offense as a whole is fourth in the NFL in produced yards and fifth in scoring.

Needless to say, offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter has built himself a finely-tuned machine with his veteran signal caller.

People thought the Lions would miss the presence of an all-time great in receiver Calvin Johnson.

Years past, it seemed like this offense was purely jump balls lobbed up to a generational talent. It actually turns out now that the multitude of diversity presented to Stafford has the offense thriving with efficiency.

Marvin Jones, who was acquired from Cincinnati in the offseason, leads the NFL in receiving yards with 408. If Stafford isn’t going to his favorite target, he has tailback Theo Riddick, tight end Eric Ebron, the electric presence of slot receiver Golden Tate, and the ever-steady Anquan Boldin. It’s the kind of offense that strikes fear into opposing defensive coordinators given the matchup and game-planning issues presented.

Without much knowledge of who will be back in the secondary, the potential return of “Mike” linebacker Danny Trevathan will bring a necessary boost to where at least Detroit won’t be able to successfully run the ball. This game will be predicated on how the Bears generate pressure on Stafford, something they haven’t done to opposing quarterbacks all year.

There currently is not a consistent enough dynamic pass rusher on the roster as Willie Young and the young Leonard Floyd are merely adequate.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has had to scheme around this issue with

exotic blitzes and that’s the left the Bears vulnerable as they haven’t hit home as often as he would like.

We’re looking at a shootout because neither team is going to get stops. Fangio has used Floyd in more coverage than he would prefer, but the opportunity to let him loose on the rush against an average Detroit offensive line could offer a breakout game.

And it would be nice if someone like Trevathan or Freeman can get home on Stafford when called upon. It could be the difference.

When the Bears are on offense: Brian Hoyer is what he is, a backup quarterback who can check down the ball efficiently and matriculate an offense down the field when given time.

There is much less of an explosive element when he’s on the field however so Chicago would be better served to have the healing thumb of Cutler back in the fold.

It took Hoyer 49 attempts to accrue 317 yards against Dallas, which averages out to 6.46 yards an attempt.

That is below average of successful pass attempts which typically hover around 7.5 yards. The Bears get horizontal with Hoyer on the field.

Against a Lions team that may not have middle linebacker DeAndre Levy and stalwart pass rushing defensive end Ezekiel Ansah, the opportunity will allow the Bears to go vertical and often if Cutler plays.

Rookie Kevin White had a bit of a coming out party with Dallas with a terrific catch while draped over a defender so he’ll have the matchup advantage here. Alshon Jeffery will be lined up against Detroit’s number one corner in Darius Slay. That didn’t seem to matter much last season as the Lions had no answer for a Jeffery running rampant in their secondary with eight receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown in one game.

Tight end Zach Miller, with two touchdowns on Sunday also looks to continue his reinvigoration so figure him to factor in.

If the offensive line gels enough to give Cutler time against a depleted Lions defense after allowing no sacks against the mediocre Dallas, we could be in store for an aerial show. Baby steps are key.

Milestones pile up for Cubs

By Cat Garcia Contributor

T

he milestones that the 2016 Chicago Cubs have been reaching continue to pile on as the final days of the season roll on. Monday evening, for the first time in 80 years, the Cubs reached the 100 wins mark on the back of another brilliant start from pitcher Kyle Hendricks, who has now lowered his ERA to 1.99 on the season.

The mark was a milestone for manager Joe Maddon’s career as well. “Yeah, it’s a big deal,” Maddon said recently of having a 100 win season. “I’ve never had one. They’re not easy to achieve.”

In a surprise ceremony before Sunday’s final regular season game at Wrigley Field, the Cubs honored catcher David Ross and his storied career on the field. Ross, who is set to retire at the end of the season, was joined by his family and teammates, and gave them a spectacular finish to remember, hitting a solo home run in the fifth inning against the Cardinals. It was Ross’s 10th home run of the year. “It was one of the loudest moments I’ve ever heard.” Ross said of the home run. He certainly was not wrong.

Recent bullpen addition Rob Zastryzny will be making his first start of the season on Thursday in the final game of the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. Maddon said that he would like to stretch Zastryzny out while attempting to begin constructing his postseason roster.

Zastryzny has pitched 12.1 innings in his first season in the majors. He currently has a 1.46 ERA as a reliever.

The Cubs are on the road after closing up shop at Wrigley Field until October 7, for game one of the NLDS. They will finish out a four-game set against the Pirates on Thursday before heading to Cincinnati to take on the Reds for the final series of the regular season this weekend at Great American Ballpark. The regular season concludes on Sunday at 2:10 p.m.

• On the South Side, the waiting for the

Cubs infielder Javy Baez hits his second grand slam of the season in Monday’s 12-2 win over the Pirates. @Cubs

final act of 2016 has now become inevitable as the White Sox were mathematically eliminated from contention earlier this week.

There is still hope for next season that has shone through the final weeks of this dismal season’s end, though. Starter Carlos Rodon continues to dazzle with his newfound repertoire aiding him immensely. Rodon struck out 11 batters and went eight strong innings, his longest outing of the season, during his start against the Indians this past Sunday at Progressive Field. “I was able to drive the ball today,” Rodon said of the outing. “When I’m going good, that’s the way it is, driving the ball through the zone and attacking hitters. It needs to stay like that.”

Despite the successful win for the White Sox

on Sunday, grim news struck those all around Major League Baseball as they learned of the death of Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez. White Sox relief pitcher Dan Jennings was profoundly affected by the news, as Jennings had spent time playing in Miami with Fernandez as part of the Marlins organization. “There were days he was unstoppable, and that’s how you viewed him is invincible. It’s too hard to really put into words what he meant to the game and what he meant to Miami.” Jennings said of the loss.

On a brighter note, U.S. Cellular Field hosted its first ever concert at the ballpark on Saturday as they welcomed Chance the Rapper and friends to the stage for Magnificent Coloring Day. The concert was a great success, seeing surprise appearances from Chicago’s

own Kanye West, Common, and comedian Hannibal Buress. Hopefully, this event will have ushered in a new era of entertainment taking place at the ballpark in the coming seasons.

The White Sox have returned from their final road trip of the regular season and are now in the midst of their final homestand of 2016. They will close out the season at U.S. Cellular Field as they continue their series against the Tampa Bay Rays before hosting the Minnesota Twins this weekend to close out a trying 2016 season.

Under the radar players to watch for Blackhawks

By Adam Hess Contributor

T

he Blackhawks began their training camp last week, preparing to get a new NHL season underway as they seek to compete for their fourth Stanley Cup championship this decade. The beginning of training camp – along with the World Cup of Hockey taking place in Toronto – has bee a welcome sight for Hawks fans after the long summer break that we weren’t quite accustomed too.

However, the Blackhawks reported to training camp with most of their best players absent, as they were at the aforementioned World Cup. Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Niklas Hjalmarsson, and Corey Crawford were among the several key Blackhawks representing their country rather than reporting to Chicago.

The absence of those important players represents a great opportunity players who are “on the fringe” or “under the radar” when it comes to their chances of making the main roster. These players now have the opportunity to step into camp and attempt to fill the roles that are normally filled by those players who are absent.

Not to say that someone like Richard Panik is suddenly going to become this team’s Patrick Kane, but the opportunity is there for players to impress the coaches and their teammates and earn a spot on the roster this season. But which players are most likely to make that leap? Here are two players to watch these next few weeks.

Ryan Hartman

The Blackhawks’ first round selection in

the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Hartman has only had very limited experience at the NHL level to this point. That lack of NHL time thus far for Hartman was due in large part to Andrew Shaw’s presence on the roster, as Hartman plays a similar style to Shaw. With Shaw having been traded to Montreal this summer, that role is now available, and should be Hartman’s for the taking.

The big key for Hartman, though, will be to stay within himself, and not try to be all that Shaw was to the Blackhawks. Even with as much flak as Shaw often caught from Hawks fans, he still wore many hats for this team.

Hartman is capable of wearing those hats, but it may take some time for him to fully develop. However, he should make the roster out of camp, so he is a player to watch this preseason and season as he develops.

Sam Carrick

Signed as a free agent this summer, former Maple Leaf Sam Carrick is a player with the talent and experience that should make him competitive when it comes to making the NHL team out of camp. His skating, shooting, and passing ability are all solid enough to make him a good contributor to the Hawks this season, if he can prove himself in camp.

There is some concern that the Leafs didn’t want him, so maybe that means he isn’t good enough for the Hawks, but again, he is talented enough to prove himself, so if he can do that, he could end up as a good depth player for the Hawks this year.
