Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says paying no income tax would make him “smart.” While nearly half of Americans agree with him, more people think it is “selfish,” and “unpatriotic,” according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday.

Some 67 percent of Americans said it is “selfish” for a presidential candidate to pay no taxes, while 61 percent said it is “unpatriotic,” according to the poll, which allowed respondents to pick more than one adjective to describe paying no taxes.

At the same time, the results showed some respect for a candidate who can figure out how to reduce their tax bill. Some 46 percent of Americans, including 35 percent of Democrats and 62 percent of Republicans, thought a presidential candidate who pays no taxes is “smart.”

Trump’s taxes have become a big campaign issue after the New York Times released a portion of his 1995 tax returns last week and estimated that Trump likely paid no taxes for a number of years. The celebrity real estate developer, who is the first presidential candidate in decades to refuse to release his full tax returns, didn’t deny the report. He later said that he had “brilliantly used” U.S. tax rules to his advantage.

During the first presidential debate with his rival Democrat Hillary Clinton last month, Trump responded to Clinton’s allegation that he paid no federal taxes by saying that would make him “smart.”

“What is he trying to say: that those of us who pay taxes aren’t intelligent?” said poll respondent Yonna McNerney, 41, of Denver. “I started working at the age of 16, and I’ve always paid taxes,” she said. “Not paying taxes, I don’t think that’s acceptable.”

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley declared a state of emergency on Tuesday and ordered an evacuation of more than a million people in coastal areas starting Wednesday afternoon in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew.

Florida and Georgia have also called states of emergency for a storm that has pounded the Caribbean with 145 mileper-hour winds and surging seas and was expected to start affecting U.S. coastal areas late on Thursday or early Friday.

Haley pleaded with people to get 100 miles away from the coast, but did not say if there would be penalties for those who refuse to comply.

“We don’t do voluntary or mandatory anymore. An evacuation is an evacuation,” Haley told reporters.

By declaring a state of emergency, Haley can mobilize 1,800 members of the National Guard.

Highways will have all traffic lanes directed away from the coast for the evacuation, and the state will close schools and county government offices in 26 of the state’s 46 counties staring Wednesday.

National Newspaper Week

Fighting the growing mistrust of the media

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

A

NEWSPAPER MEDIA HAS THE POWER TO INFORM, ENTERTAIN AND CONNECT. When you hold your local newspaper in your hands – whether in print or on a mobile device – you hold a powerful tool to inform and inspire.

For centuries in towns and cities across North America, local newspapers have served as the voice for the public good and as a powerful connection between citizens and the communities around them.

Oct. 2-8, 2016, is National Newspaper Week, a time to salute the dedicated professionals who work hard to bring you the news.

In this digital age, the newspaper audience has never been greater, with millions reading in print, online or via mobile. No matter the medium, those millions of readers rely on their local newspaper as the “Way to Know!”

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK Oct. 2-8, 2016

sk anyone, they’ll tell you: newspapers are dying. The news media bears some agenda or carries the water for X or Y. People distrust the media.

In fact, a recent Gallup poll showed that only 32 percent of Americans “trust” the media, down eight points from 2015.

But what is the media in 2016? Is it newspapers on the racks in the library, or your preferred AM radio station? Is it the local or national blogs you’ve bookmarked to read every morning, or the cable TV news station on at your favorite after-hours watering hole?

That’s the problem: what anyone’s definition of the media is doesn’t fit the model of another’s. The media has diversified and splintered into thousands of ever shrinking and ever more niche-driven landscapes and markets.

You used to simply consume the news, which came from a mostly broadline style and voice no matter where you got it from.

Now, you can surround yourself in a world of like-minded individuals in just a few seconds.

These echo chambers of opinion have shattered the trust in the media at large.

As we mark this National Newspaper Week, media conglomerates continue to consolidate their hold on regional and local news outlets across the nation. People will tell you all the time about how newspapers are dying; what they won’t mention is how fewer and fewer corporations control more and more of those papers. And those news corporations have created echo chambers onto themselves.

Those corporations, instead of bettering their product through investment in its core function, have chosen to slash newsroom budgets, to consolidate operations in offices outside the communities they serve, to pull the media further away from its home.

Many news companies could hardly be called news companies anymore. Some provide consulting services. Some buy and sell real estate. Few still treat the newsroom and its staff as their most important asset.

And the funny thing is, people consume more news now than they ever have before.

News is everywhere, not just in the pages of newspapers or on the 6 o’clock newscast.

Living in this modern society means that you are bombarded with and interact with news more frequently than at any point in history, and that trend is not slowing.

The Rock River Times has for more than a quarter-century stood as an independent 9:00 AM and locally owned voice for its community.

We have told your stories – told the stories of this community. We have told you about the events that have shaped Rockford and its neighboring communities, and we are still doing that today.

We are still here to report the news, whether through our own work on record-making natural disasters, state budget crises and corrupt government officials, or via a select group of contributors and partners whose content we disseminate through the pages of our newspaper and website. We are still here to publish your opinions and to give you an outlet to tell our 45,000-plus readers what your organization is doing to help improve this community. We are still here to provide you with news that is important to you and your neighbors. We are still a voice that many in this community trust.

Myself, I still trust the media, because the media is not some overreaching all-inclusive entity. The media is made by the individual people who do the work, who tell the stories and capture the images that shape our world.

The media is not a handful of TV networks you dislike; it is a collection of employees at outlets that, if they abide by the ethical guidelines of this profession, still provide a service of the utmost importance to their cities or states or regions or entire nations.

The staff at The Rock River Times continues to uphold those principles every day, and we have worked to make the news we report more accessible to this community. We have invested in improving our paper for our readers, bringing new voices into our ranks to tell you the stories that matter most to you.

We have invested in improving our website, giving The Rock River Times one of the fastest and easiest to use websites of any newspaper in the country, ensuring those stories can be easily accessed by thousands of readers on computers and tablets and cell phones.

And we have continually supported local programs and organizations that benefit Rockford and the surrounding area, from the arts to education to the environment.

Whether you trust your media or not, that media should still provide for you.

While corporate media outlets continue to slash budgets for news operations in the chase for increased dividends funneled to distant executives, the staff of The Rock River Times continues to work for and live in this community. And as we note the passing of another National Newspaper Week, we will continue to tell the stories that matter to our readers.

Residents respond to proposed railway

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

R

OCKTON – Hundreds of Winnebago County residents turned up for a meeting Monday night in Rockton to learn about the proposed Great Lakes Basin Transportation (GLBT) railway line.

The activist group Block GLB Railroad was out at the Rockton Township Office through the evening as crowds gathered outside to hear information about the transportation company’s proposed railway that was recently rejected by residents in Boone County.

“There is no need for this project,” Block GLB organizer Susan Sack told the crowd outside as dozens more heard a presentation and collected materials inside the township’s meeting hall.

“This is the largest rail project this country has seen in 125 years, and they’re using eminent domainlawsfrom125yearsagotoforcethisthrough.”

Sack says that GLBT has tried to mislead residents in areas it hopes to construct its railway.

“This is a for-profit company trying to use these laws to make money via a (toll collecting) railway.

This is not a railroad. This company didn’t exist even a few years ago.”

Block GLB said in a handout that GLBT was started in 2011 and has tried to position itself as similar to other joint public-private railway projects such as the so-called C.R.E.A.T.E. Program.

But, the group says, GLBT is doing that to confuse residents as to where they plan to construct the railway and the means they intend to use to acquire the land.

Two prior proposals by the company included a stretch of track through Boone County. But after residentsorganizedthere,thecountyboardsought more time to evaluate environmental, ecological and financial impacts.

GLBT responded by producing a new proposal which avoided Boone County altogether, taking the proposed line on a more southern route through LaSalle, Lee and Ogle counties, before passing through Winnebago County through what is largely farmlands west of Rockford.

Now groups and resident opposed to the project are asking the federal Surface Transportation Boardformoretimetoevaluateandrespondtothe most recent changes proposed by GLBT. “They gave us this new map,” said one resident Monday night, “and it doesn’t mean anything.

The way this (railway) is proposed – the way they’ve drawn this project up and are trying to ram it through – the lines on this map could vary anywhere up to five miles in any direction. How are we supposed to know what we’re looking at if they can’t even tell us what the project is?”

Frank Patton, the head of GLBT, said the idea for the proposed rail bypass around Chicago and its suburbs came to him as he sat at Briar Ridge Country Club in 2009 while discussing the now-defunct Illiana Expressway project, a proposed 50-mile toll road that would have

bypassed the southside of Chicago.

“I looked at Ed Paesel (executive director of the South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association) and said, ‘Does this make any sense?’”

Patton told the Northwest Indiana Times earlier this year. “And Ed looked at me and he smiled and he said, ‘It makes all the sense in the world.’

And that’s when it started.”

But convincing locals along the proposed line has been harder than Patton anticipated. “I haven’t seenonegoodthingaboutit,”LakeCountyIndiana Commissioner Gerry Scheub said in January. “It’s not only the effect on the environment and the effect on the school kids in that area, but you are also killing development in that area. No one will build a new home near a railroad track.”

GLBT said similar pushback led to the redrawing of the map to avoid Boone County.

“We listened to (residents), we read their statements and this is partly in response to their positions they took,” GLBT attorney Mike Blaszak told WREX13 last month.

“We feel that this is the best possible alternative for our project and it generally runs through industrial areas. And it minimizes on existing

farms. Not to say there will be no impact but there will be some.”

Most politicians in Winnebago County have played their cards close to the chest in the early goings of discussions, but one county board candidate was at the meeting Monday night made sure the crowd knew where he stood.

“I am 100 percent against this,” David Soll, candidate for the District-17 seat currently occupied byRepublicanFredWescott,toldthecrowd.“People need more time to know what this project is.”

Soll said he would like to see the current county board members come out and make their stance on the GLBT project known.

“The current board and the chairman need to come and and say if they’re in favor of this or not,” Soll said.

“We’ve got our self situated very well here logistically for something like this here,” outgoing county board Chairman Scott Christiansen told WREX in September. “There’s a long ways to go but the one thing we can do is make sure obviously there’splentyofopportunityforpeopletobeheard.”

But Soll says the county should be looking elsewhere for economic gains.

“If we could find better manufacturing in the green energy sector, why not go down that route? Why let millions of gallons of crude oil or other potentially hazardous materials come through here? We’ve seen over and over again in recent years the dangers these kinds of projects can create.”

A series of high-profile train incidents has raised questions over the long-term prospects of using rail to transport oil and other chemicals. A BNSF train carrying crude oil from the Bakken formation of North Dakota derailed outside Galena in March 2015. Five crude-oil cars carrying approximately 30,000 gallons of oil each spilled their contents and ultimately caught fire, causing a smoke plume that was visible for dozens of miles and risked polluting a tributary to the Mississippi River.

So far, GLBT has yet to find a single rail partner to endorse the proposed 280-mile project through parts of Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. Union Pacific passed on joining the proposal in 2014, according to a Chicago Tribune report from earlier this year. No other railroad companies have come out in support of the project.

That, Block GLB organizers say, should be enough to see state and local government leaders step in and halt this project before Patton’s company can ever get on track.

State pulls Wells Fargo investments

Illinois’ chief financial officer is pulling state money out of a disgraced bank.

State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said Monday that his office would stop brokering investments through banking giant Wells Fargo after the bank was fined $185 million for bilking customers out of millions.

Wells Fargo created 2 million fake accounts for unknowing customers, leading to millions in fees since 2011. The tax-dollar shutout will last for one year.

Frerichs told reporters in Chicago that the conduct of Wells Fargo shouldn’t be rewarded with state investments.

“Their illegal actions to meet sales target and compensation incentives are downright shameful,” Frerichs said. “Wells Fargo is a big financial player in Illinois, and I hope to send a message that their unscrupulous practices are not welcomed and will not be tolerated.”

State Sen. Jacqueline Collins, D-Chicago, who is the Senate Financial Institutions Committee chairwoman, said Wells Fargo should have nothing to do with Illinoisans’ tax dollars.

“Treasurer Frerichs has made the right decision in not allowing the investment of taxpayers’ hard-earned money to enable corporate irresponsibility on the backs of the

middle class.”

The State Treasurer’s Office oversees more than $1 trillion in investment activity annually, approximately $30 billion of which is brokered

by Wells Fargo.

Frerichs said this will cost the bank millions, but couldn’t provide an exact number. The treasurer is recommending that the Governor’s Office and State Board of Investments also drop their business with Wells Fargo.

An official with Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office said the state will not be doing any bond deals with Wells Fargo until further notice.

Illinois’ credit rating cut for ‘weak’ management

S&P Global Ratings dropped Illinois’ credit rating one notch to BBB on Friday and warned it could fall further absent a long-term solution that deals with the state’s chronic structural budget deficit and pension woes.

“The downgrade reflects our view of continued weak financial management and increased long-term and short-term pressures tied to declining pension funded levels,” said S&P analyst John Sugden in a statement.

Illinois, the lowest-rated U.S. state, is in its second straight fiscal year without a complete budget due to an impasse between its Republican governor and Democrats who control

the legislature.

The impasse, along with a $111 billion unfunded pension liability and a growing pile of unpaid bills have pounded Illinois’ credit ratings into the low-investment grade triple-B level.

S&P said another downgrade could follow “should the state continue to demonstrate a lack of ability or willingness to adopt a long-term structural budget solution that also incorporates a credible approach to its long-term liabilities.”

The credit rating agency added that continued political gridlock could affect Illinois’

ability to pay off its debt.

“Although we don’t foresee this in the immediate future, challenges to the state’s debt payment priority could emerge should liquidity dwindle to the point where it affects the state’s ability to provide essential services,” S&P said.

The downgrade to just two notches above the junk level came as the nation’s fifth-largest state prepares to sell as much as $1.7 billion of new and refunding general obligation bonds in October despite having to pay a hefty penalty in the U.S. municipal market.

McCarthy-era remnant hangs over state elections

When you vote for candidates this November, it’s likely they’ve signed an oath saying they’re not communists. Every candidacy packet in the state still contains a McCarthy-era loyalty oath.

Initially sponsored by Southern Illinois Medal of Honor recipient and former State Rep. Clyde Choate, signers of the loyalty oath swear not to be “affiliated directly or indirectly with any communist organization.”

The oath was declared unconstitutional in 1972, but that only made it optional. It would take lawmakers in Springfield to vote it out of existence.

University of Illinois Springfield political science professor Kent Redfield said the reason it’s not just voted away is just as political as the McCarthy-era witch hunts.

“You’re getting political heat when there’s really no particular upside to taking a stand on this,” Redfield said.

Florida and Pennsylvania also have optional loyalty oaths, but neither mentions communism.

A Freedom of Information Act request to the state elections board shows that all but six

state senators and 10 state representatives have a signed loyalty oath on file.

The Loyalty Oath can be found at elections.

Energy & Environment

Marking 15 years of the Solar Tour

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

O

n October 1, the Illinois Renewable Energy Association (IREA) hosted its fifteenth solar tour. The tours provide people an opportunity to see solar installations and discuss their performance with owners. We were concerned whether the predicted rainy day would undermine our attendance on the tour but the weather cooperated with only a light drizzle when the last couple joined the tour.

While not as well attended as some of the earlier tours, those who attended seemed more motivated to install systems. Each year, visitors are better informed and come with good questions regarding installations.

For example, one visitor who drives a Chevy volt as does his wife, is interested in solar panels to provide power for his home as well as for charging the electric vehicles.

Although he came with photographs of his home, a site visit will be necessary to determine the size of system that can be installed on his roof. Also, other factors In addition to size and shading include how much electricity is currently consumed, opportunities to cut that consumption through conservation measures, upgrading the efficiency of home energy consumption and the cost of the system.

Due to the storm that struck in spring a year ago, he has a new roof with a warranty that matches the warranty on any solar panels he may decide to have installed.

Another visitor was gathering information for his son and daughter-in-law who are considering erecting a pole building and are interested in installing PV panels on its roof.

A third visitor expressed appreciation for the descriptions of the systems on the tour which allowed him to target those of interests to him. He owns a solar envelope home but has a moisture problem from the earth tube system used for cooling. A heavy clay soil combined with a high water table might also be contributing factors. This is the first earth tube system we know of that has had drainage problems.

With falling costs for solar panels, inverters and batteries and ongoing improvements in appliance efficiency the future for solar

electricity looks promising. While the incentives to install a PV system including a federal tax credit of 30 percent, net metering from cooperating utilities and a potential rebate from the state are still in place, with continued technological progress and falling system costs the political pressure is building to reduce incentives.

Other factors are likely to make an investment in a solar system increasingly attractive. With existing low interest rates, the economic return on one is already a good investment. In some cases, a PV system can pay for itself in six to seven years and provide free electricity for its remaining 25 years or more of production.

Beyond the economic considerations are the satisfactions that come with producing one’s own electricity and the environmental benefits to oneself, the community and future generations.

Falling costs, improved efficiency and performance of renewable energy systems have benefitted from government policies which continue to stimulate the transition to cleaner energy sources. The speed of the transition

will be greatly impacted by policy negotiations taking place at this time in Springfield as solar advocates are supporting a Clean Jobs

Bill. Information is on the Environmental Law and Policy Center website at elpc.org.

Government Transparency

Yahoo let gov’t into users’ email Company’s former security head left amid fight over program

So-called “upstream” bulk collection from phone carriers based on content was found to be legal, they said, and the same logic could apply to Web companies’ mail.

As tech companies become better at encrypting data, they are likely to face more such requests from spy agencies.

Former NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker said email providers “have the power to encrypt it all, and with that comes added responsibility to do some of the work that had been done by the intelligence agencies.”

By Joseph Menn Reuters

SAN FRANCISCO – Yahoo last year secretly built a custom software program to search all of its customers’ incoming emails for specific information provided by U.S. intelligence officials, according to people familiar with the matter.

The company complied with a classified U.S. government demand, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said three former employees and a fourth person apprised of the events.

Some surveillance experts said this represents the first case to surface of a U.S. Internet company agreeing to a spy agency’s request by searching all arriving messages, as opposed to examining stored messages or scanning a small number of accounts in real time.

It is not known what information intelligence officials were looking for, only that they wanted Yahoo to search for a set of characters.

That could mean a phrase in an email or an attachment, said the sources, who did not want to be identified.

Reuters was unable to determine what data Yahoo may have handed over, if any, and if intelligence officials had approached other email providers besides Yahoo with this kind of request.

According to two of the former employees, Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer’s decision to obey the directive roiled some senior executives and led to the June 2015 departure of Chief Information Security Officer Alex Stamos, who now holds the top security job at Facebook Inc. “Yahoo is a law abiding company, and complies with the laws of the United States,” the company said in a brief statement in response to Reuters questions about the demand. Yahoo declined any further comment.

Through a Facebook spokesman, Stamos declined a request for an interview.

The NSA referred questions to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which declined to comment.

The request to search Yahoo Mail accounts came in the form of a classified edict sent to the company’s legal team, according to the three people familiar with the matter.

U.S. phone and Internet companies are known to have handed over bulk customer data to intelligence agencies. But some former

government officials and private surveillance experts said they had not previously seen either such a broad demand for real-time Web collection or one that required the creation of a new computer program.

“I’ve never seen that, a wiretap in real time on a ‘selector,’” said Albert Gidari, a lawyer who represented phone and Internet companies on surveillance issues for 20 years before moving to Stanford University this year. A selector refers to a type of search term used to zero in on specific information.

“It would be really difficult for a provider to do that,” he added.

Experts said it was likely that the NSA or FBI had approached other Internet companies with the same demand, since they evidently did not know what email accounts were being used by the target. The NSA usually makes requests for domestic surveillance through the FBI, so it is hard to know which agency is seeking the information.

Reuters was unable to confirm whether the 2015 demand went to other companies, or if any complied.

Alphabet Inc’s Google and Microsoft, two major U.S. email service providers, did not respond to requests for comment.

Challenging the NSA

Under laws including the 2008 amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, intelligence agencies can ask U.S. phone and Internet companies to provide customer data to aid foreign intelligence-gathering efforts for

a variety of reasons, including prevention of terrorist attacks.

Disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and others have exposed the extent of electronic surveillance and led U.S. authorities to modestly scale back some of the programs, in part to protect privacy rights.

Companies including Yahoo have challenged some classified surveillance before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a secret tribunal.

Some FISA experts said Yahoo could have tried to fight last year’s demand on at least two grounds: the breadth of the directive and the necessity of writing a special program to search all customers’ emails in transit.

Apple made a similar argument earlier this year when it refused to create a special program to break into an encrypted iPhone used in the 2015 San Bernardino massacre.

The FBI dropped the case after it unlocked the phone with the help of a third party, so no precedent was set.

“It is deeply disappointing that Yahoo declined to challenge this sweeping surveillance order, because customers are counting on technology companies to stand up to novel spying demands in court,” Patrick Toomey, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement.

Some FISA experts defended Yahoo’s decision to comply, saying nothing prohibited the surveillance court from ordering a search for a specific term instead of a specific account.

Mayer and other executives ultimately decided to comply with the directive last year rather than fight it, in part because they thought they would lose, said the people familiar with the matter.

Yahoo in 2007 had fought a FISA demand that it conduct searches on specific email accounts without a court-approved warrant.

Details of the case remain sealed, but a partially redacted published opinion showed Yahoo’s challenge was unsuccessful.

Some Yahoo employees were upset about the decision not to contest the more recent edict and thought the company could have prevailed, the sources said.

They were also upset that Mayer and Yahoo General Counsel Ron Bell did not involve the company’s security team in the process, instead asking Yahoo’s email engineers to write a program to siphon off messages containing the character string the spies sought and store them for remote retrieval, according to the sources.

The sources said the program was discovered by Yahoo’s security team in May 2015, within weeks of its installation. The security team initially thought hackers had broken in.

When Stamos found out that Mayer had authorized the program, he resigned as chief information security officer and told his subordinates that he had been left out of a decision that hurt users’ security, the sources said. Due to a programming flaw, he told them hackers could have accessed the stored emails.

Stamos’s announcement in June 2015 that he had joined Facebook did not mention any problems with Yahoo.

In a separate incident, Yahoo last month said “state-sponsored” hackers had gained access to 500 million customer accounts in 2014. The revelations have brought new scrutiny to Yahoo’s security practices as the company tries to complete a deal to sell its core business to Verizon Communications Inc for $4.8 billion.

Thank you to donors, from Healing Pathways Center VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Healing Pathways Cancer Resource Center has been in operation since 2009 and has experienced tremendous increases in the number of guests using our no-cost services.

It has been a challenge to continue to meet the needs of our community without ongoing support from major grants, major gifts and capital gifts. Funds raised have allowed us to continue to provide services over the past seven years, but in the current economic environment, all small non-profits are fighting for donations and Healing Pathways was facing an uphill battle due to its youth and lack of operational resources.

A strategy was developed to seek support for overhead and operational expenses, which would allow donations to be used directly for patient care. Execution of that strategy resulted in something wonderful. OSF HealthCare and Healing Pathways Cancer Resource Center have joined forces effective August 1, 2016, to ensure vital services, including education, integrative therapies, nutrition classes, exercise programs, networking, and support remain available at no cost for individuals affected by cancer in Rockford and the surrounding communities. Guests will not experience any interruptions or delays and may continue to access services Monday through Friday at the 3921 East State Street location.

Additionally, OSF HealthCare leadership made a most amazing decision to provide a new facility, which will have five therapy rooms rather than the two that we currently operate. This will allow Healing Pathways to expand services and eliminate the overwhelming six week backlog for individuals seeking massages and reflexology.

OSF has been a great partner of ours from the beginning and we are grateful to them for their commitment in ensuring that these services and programs remain available to our entire community. We will still need to raise funds for direct care, so we encourage you to continue your philanthropic commitment by contributing to the OSF Foundation and designating your gifts exclusively to Healing Pathways.

“My work explores themes such as vulnerability and innocence lost, and is included in many public collections ranging from the Denver Art Museum to the Absolut Vodka corporate collection,” said Recchia. “Over the years, my paintings have been shown in many places including the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna and the Brooklyn Museum in New York.”

Zoa Ace, who grew up in Rockford, has lived in Berthoud, Colorado for over 20 years, and has been showing and selling her colorful works in the Denver area and across the art world. “My paintings have appeared in the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, Austria, Mosko Miller Fine Art in New York City, and in the Denver Art Museum as part of a public collection,” says Ace. “I love drawing animals of all kinds and sharing them with lovely people at affordable prices,” says daughter Mary Recchia. “My illustrations are cute. Some are kinda weird. That’s the way I like it. I hope you like them, too.”

To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ADD SECTION 11 TO ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 11. TRANSPORTATION FUNDS (a) No moneys, including bond proceeds, derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to registration, title, or operation or use of vehicles, or related to the use of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or to fuels used for propelling vehicles, or derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes relating to any other transportation infrastructure or transportation operation, shall be expended for purposes other than as provided in subsections (b) and (c). (b) Transportation funds may be expended for the following: the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, including statutory refunds and adjustments provided in those laws; payment of highway obligations; costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation; and other statutory highway purposes. Transportation funds may also be expended for the State or local share of highway funds to match federal aid highway funds, and expenses of grade separation of highways and railroad crossings, including protection of at-grade highways and railroad crossings, and, with respect to local governments, other transportation purposes as authorized by law. (c) The costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation shall be limited to direct program expenses related to the following: the enforcement of traffic, railroad, and motor carrier laws; the safety of highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports; and the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, operation, and administration of highways, under any related provisions of law or any purpose related or incident to, including grade separation of highways and railroad crossings. The limitations to the costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation under this subsection (c) shall also include direct program expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of employees of the State’s transportation agency; the acquisition of land and the erection of buildings for highway purposes, including the acquisition of highway rights-of-way or for investigations to determine the reasonable anticipated future highway needs; and the making of surveys, plans, specifications, and estimates for the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways. The expenses related to the construction and maintenance of flight strips and highways under this subsection (c) are for the purpose of providing access to military and naval reservations, defense-industries, defense-industry sites, and sources of raw materials, including the replacement of existing highways and highway connections shut off from general use at military and naval reservations, defense-industries, and defense-industry sites, or the purchase of rights-of-way. (d) None of the revenues described in subsection (a) of this Section shall, by transfer, offset, or otherwise, be diverted to any purpose other than those described in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. (e) If the General Assembly appropriates funds for a mode of transportation not described in this Section, the General Assembly must provide for a dedicated source of funding. (f) Federal funds may be spent for any purposes authorized by federal law.

EXPLANATION The proposed amendment adds a new Section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that provides revenue generated from transportation related taxes and fees (referred to as “transportation funds”) shall be used exclusively for transportation related purposes. Transportation related taxes and fees include motor fuel taxes, vehicle registration fees, and other taxes and user fees dedicated to public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit (buses and rail), ports, or airports.

Under the proposed amendment, transportation funds may be used by the State or local governments only for the following purposes: (1) costs related to administering transportation and vehicle laws, including public safety purposes and the payment of obligations such as bonds; (2) the State or local share necessary to secure federal funds or for local government transportation purposes as authorized by law; (3) the construction, reconstruction, improvement, repair, maintenance, and operation of highways, mass transit, and railroad crossings; (4) expenses related to workers’ compensation claims for death or injury of transportation agency employees; and (5) to purchase land for building highways or buildings for to be used for highway purposes.

This new Section is a limitation on the power of the General Assembly or a unit of local government to use, divert, or transfer transportation funds for a purpose other than transportation. It does not, and is not intended to, impact or change the way in which the State and local governments use sales taxes, including the sales and excise tax on motor fuel, or alter home rule powers granted under this Constitution. It does not seek to change the way in which the State funds programs administered by the Illinois Secretary of State, Illinois Department of Transportation, and operations by the Illinois State Police directly dedicated to the safety of roads, or entities or programs funded by units of local government. Further, the Section does not impact the expenditure of federal funds, which may be spent for any purpose authorized by federal law.

FORM OF BALLOT Proposed Amendment to the 1970 Illinois Constitution Explanation of Amendment The proposed amendment adds a new section to the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution. The proposed amendment provides that no moneys derived from taxes, fees, excises, or license taxes, relating to registration, titles, operation, or use of vehicles or public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, or airports, or motor fuels, including bond proceeds, shall be expended for other than costs of administering laws related to vehicles and transportation, costs for construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, and betterment of public highways, roads, streets, bridges, mass transit, intercity passenger rail, ports, airports, or other forms of transportation, and other statutory highway purposes, including the State or local share to match federal aid highway funds.

You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the Illinois Constitution.

YES –––– NO

Hastert Case

Alleged Hastert victim says sex abuse laws must change A man who said he was sexually abused by former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert when he was a teenager came forward Tuesday in emotional testimony, pushing Illinois’ legislators to change a law that he said allows a “monster” like Hastert to get away with the most heinous of crimes.

“This topic, while difficult for me to discuss, is not one that can be swept under the rug,” said Scott Cross, now a Wheaton-based businessman who said he was abused by Hastert when he was 17-years-old.

Hastert, 74, taught and coached at the school in his hometown of Yorkville in the 1960s and 1970s. He left to enter politics in the early 1980s.

“Hastert inflicted unbelievable pain on the lives of the youth he was entrusted to care for, yet he got a slap on the wrist... As hard as is is to continue to live through the events of the past, the laws of Illinois and across the country have to change.”

In April federal prosecutors alleged that Hastert had abused several young boys while he was the wrestling coach at Yorkville High School in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But the wrongdoing had only come to light because Hastert was caught making hush money payments to one of his victims.

Hastert, the longest-serving Republican

House speaker in history, pleaded guilty last October to the crime of structuring. That involves withdrawing a large sum of money in small increments to avoid detection.

He needed the money after he reached a secret agreement with one of his five sexual abuse victims to pay him $3.5 million in compensation for pain and suffering.

The victim, who has not been named publicly, has sued Hastert for $1.8 million, saying he had received only $1.7 million of the promised compensation.

The statute of limitations that would have allowed him to be charged with multiple counts of child sex abuse had long passed.

For much of the court proceedings against Hastert, Cross was not identified publicly – only in court documents as Individual D, one of the victims not involved in the hush money payments. But at sentencing, he decided to face Hastert.

“He was a key figure of my life as a coach and a teacher,” Cross told the court through tears.

“I respected and trusted coach Hastert... It was my darkest secret as he became more powerful.”

Jolene Burdge, the sister of another of Hastert’s alleged victims also not involved in the hush money payments, spoke to ABC News after sentencing, saying that she thought Hastert “got a pass.”

“I think he got a pass because of his power and status. I think he got a back room deal. His victims didn’t get a pass when he put them through the abuse,” said Burdge, whose late brother Steve Reinboldt purportedly confessed to her that he had been abused by Hastert when he was the wrestling team’s equipment manager in the late-1970s.

Under current Illinois law, the statute of limitations comes into affect 20 years after the victim of child abuse turns 18 years old.

There are some conditions, like if new evidence is available or if someone who should have reported the crime failed to, under which the statute does not apply.

But Cross, and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, said that in many cases that means that if a child sex abuse victim has not reported the crime by the time they’re 38 years old, the abuser becomes legally protected from prosecution.

“It should offend everyone’s faith in the judicial system that Illinois laws today would still allow sexual child molesters to avoid prosecution from heinous acts of sexual abuse because a survivor didn’t come forward in time,” Cross told a legislative committee.

Critics of the abolition of such statutes have previously said that changing the law could be unconstitutional, if the current 20-year rule is

not already. Cross doesn’t see it that way. “[Sexual predators] know no bounds, have no decency and are devoid of morals. That’s why Illinois General Assembly should provide sexual predators no safe harbor based on the law based on arbitrary deadlines established by the stroke of a pen,” he said.

“Hastert’s only political legacy should be that his crimes and complete lack of repentance led to changing laws that empowered survivors over their sexual abusers.”

Tube Talk: Make time for Timeless

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

R

ockford native Shawn Ryan is perhaps best know for creating The Shield, the ground-breaking drama series that helped put FX on the map in 2002.

If you’ve watched Terriers, Lie To Me, The Unit, The Chicago Code, Last Resort, or The Get Down, you’ve seen Ryan’s work. He’s one of the most respected showrunners working today – not just because of his storytelling skills and creative vision, but because he is a nice, down-to-earth guy.

While the subject matter of his shows has varied a lot over the years, and he once wrote for Angel, one area Ryan hadn’t tackled, until now, was sci-fi.

Ryan’s new series, Timeless – which he co-created with Eric Kripke (executive producer of Supernatural and Revolution)

– debuted Monday on NBC, and has something for every taste. There’s time travel, action, conspiracy theory, humor, and lots and lots of history.

It also has a great cast. Abigail Spencer (Rectify, Suits, True Detective) stars as historian-turned-reluctant-hero Lucy Preston, who is more conscripted to travel back in time with special ops soldier Wyatt Logan (Matt Lanter, Star Wars Rebels, The Astronaut Wives Club) and their pilot Rufus Carlin (Malcolm Barrett, Better Off Ted, The Soul Man) to pursue Garcia Flynn (Goran Visnjic, ER, Extant) who stole a time machine from the wealthy and mysterious industrialist Connor Mason (Patterson Joseph, The Leftovers, Law & Order: UK) with an aim of changing American history. Luckily Mason kept the prototype as a back-up just in case it was needed.

While each episode contains a stand-alone adventure that’s slightly reminiscent of – yet very different from – the classic sci-fi series Quantum Leap, a couple of underlying stories begin to emerge early on: One addressing the dangers of changing the time line in even the smallest way, and another hinting at a larger mystery behind Mason and his motives.

Timeless is one of the first time-travel shows I can recall that addresses the practical minutia of things like ensuring the travelers have period (or near period) clothing and period appropriate money. When time-travel stories don’t explain those things my mind wanders away from the plot as I wonder where they got their costumes and how they managed to pay for something.

As writers, Ryan and Kripke manage to convey a lot with quick images and one-liners, and their cast really sells it. Having a

woman and an African American man among the time-travelers ups the stakes on some journeys, and allows viewers to see how much – and sadly sometimes how little – things have changed over time when it comes to racism and sexism. Some of Rufus’ scenes that seem like comic relief actually underscore very important realities, past and present. While Timeless is a fun show, it’s not all fluff. There’s plenty of substance, too.

Pilot episodes can be clunky when there’s a lot of explaining to do. But because Lucy and Wyatt are recruited in the first episode, viewers learn the rules of time travel right along with them. The first couple of episodes of Timeless are fun, and I can’t wait to see where – and when – it takes us. And them.

Programming Note

Timeless airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Magnificent Seven serves as an enjoyable Western

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

H

ollywood continues to rehash ideas with Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven. A remake the 1960 Western (which itself was adapted from

Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai), the film sees a bunch of humble farmers being bullied and extorted by corrupt industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard). When Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett) witnesses her husband murdered by Bogue, she seeks help

in warrant officer Sam Chisholm (Denzel Washington). While he’s hesitant to help at first he quickly changes his mind when he learns of Bogue’s involvement. With the odds stacked against him, Chisholm enlists the assistance of six fearsome gunslingers and warriors, a motley crew of rogues who must gel quickly to take on an army of bad guys.

The 1960 version boasts an incredible cast featuring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson to name a few. Fuqua assembles an ensemble cast of his own with Chris Pratt, Vincent D’Onorfrio and Ethan Hawke holstering their six shooters. The actors have a great chemistry but a few players get lost in the shuffle due to narrative constraints. From a visual perspective, all eyes are on Billy Rocks (Byung-hun Lee) and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier). Rocks is as skilled with a knife as he is with a gun which leads to impressive stunts that combine the Western tone with Eastern influence. The Native American

Red Harvest is the wild card of the bunch with Sensmeir exhibiting a striking and intimidating figure, most notably when the war paint is applied in the third act.

The action comes quick and fast with Fuqua delivering loud and exciting gun battles with no shortage of kills. The film may lack depth and emotion but the director is successful in preventing the action from getting dull a repetitive as he continually ups the stakes as the film rumbles towards its conclusion. The final encounter is a great spectacle that puts everyone in the crosshairs. It isn’t exactly Game of Thrones, but no one appears safe regardless of where their name appears on the poster.

Washington continues to exude a natural coolness with an engaging magnetism to complement his star power. His role as Chisholm won’t win him any Oscars but he looks to be having a ball as a cowboy, as do much of the cast. As expected, Pratt offers some comic relief as he charms his way through the film, even if his character has a darkness to him.

It isn’t explored in great detail but you won’t reflect on it by the time the credits roll.

The Magnificent Seven is a popcorn munching Western with thrilling set-pieces and a well-paced screenplay. It doesn’t compare to its predecessors and neither does it attempt to imitate them. It gives a few nods of respect but The Magnificent Seven stands on its own strengths and weaknesses, with the former outweighing the latter.

Catching up with Jeep Capone

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Rockford Rocked Interviews: Hey Jeep, thanks for stopping by.

Jeep Capone: Thanks for having me.

RRI: You’re a very well respected drummer/musician who has been at it for years, and making a good go of it I might ad. How old were you when you realized that being a drummer in a band was what you wanted to do full time?

JC: As far back as I can remember.

As a child when people asked me what I wanted to be I would respond “I’m a drummer” (laughs).

RRI: What was the music scene like in Rockford when you started out and what were the hot clubs to play?

JC: Well, we played Sherwood Lodge, Rumpus Room, high school dances, etc.

There were several bands in town and I guess we all had a friendly rivalry going. We didn’t make much money but we made some great music and the musicianship was wonderful for a bunch of young kids.

RRI: Could you get away with playing original music or did you find most people wanted to hear cover tunes, songs by other artists?

JC: We mixed it up. We would also take a piece of cover music and put our own twist to it. We didn’t want to be just like anybody else.

In the ‘60s and ‘70s it just wasn’t cool to be just like another band.

RRI: Most local club owners were booking bands two and sometimes three weeks at a time in the 1970s and ‘80s. Could you make an actual living doing this? It would be unheard of today.

JC: Yeah, we were very fortunate, we managed to make a living doing it. We were basically the house band at Maggie’s Pub on State street in the ‘70s and the Off Broadway in the ‘80s. Six nights a week every week. It was crazy.

RRI: I understand that you have a passion for jazz music. Who are some of your favorite jazz artists?

JC: I have a picture of Miles Davis in every room in my house. My mother owned Kay’s Records in south Rockford for many years.

I was raised with jazz playing in the house everyday. I have way too many jazz heroes to mention here. I love big band, bebop, cool jazz, fusion, and funk jazz.

RRI: You eventually found yourself in Michigan playing for the band Stonefront.

As the story goes, you all lived in a giant mansion near Detroit called Garwood.

Please sum up your time there in as few

words as possible (laughs).

JC: It was magical. We practiced every day and played with just about every big name from the ‘70s you can think of. We were fortunate to have that place to work on our craft.

I got to play with some stars as touring artists that would stop by on a regular basis. One of my favorite memories to this day is when I got to play with Larry Graham (Sly and the Family Stone’s bassist at the time). He was one of the founders of the slap style of playing. We jammed for several hours and Sly sat on the couch and watched.

RRI: Later on you attended The Allen H. Young College of Music in Chicago?

JC: It wasn’t really a school (laughs).

I wrote that in my bio as a tribute to Al when he passed away. Allen was my music partner for 39 years. He was a graduate of Northwestern and went there on a scholarship for music. He did really mentor me without a doubt. Any question I had he had the answer. Rockford’s Jack Brand was also a big influence. He got me started with reading and gave me a few lessons.

RRI: You’ve worked with a lot of industry heavyweights on side projects and studio sessions. Are there any sessions in particular that stand out above the rest?

JC: I had Johnny Graham from Earth Wind & Fire in my band for several months as well as Basia for one year. Trish Turner from Duke Ellington’s band was with us for several years.

I’ve been lucky to work with many top players but my favorite session was with Ted Nichols.

Ted wrote and produced 12 operas and many movie scores and television shows. He had a lot to do with the Flintstones and The Jetsons music. I had the pleasure of playing the drums on a movie score with him as writer/ producer. It was a religious film called Word For Word. We knocked out the project in record time so we got to have a really cool quality and question/answer time with him.

We all had a great laugh when the first question asked was about the Flintstones sessions.

He just shook his head and said, “Every time, first question, I’ve done some very important productions, 12 operas, several pieces for the Queen of England, etc. and you guys always ask the same question.” He laughed out loud!

I also did a session at Chick Corea’s studio in Los Angeles. He was playing basketball with the electric band and the ball got away from them. I threw it back to Chick, he caught the ball wrong and jammed his finger! I thought I was gonna die (laughs)!

He turned out to be fine and very sweet about the whole thing.

RRI: Tell us about your latest projects and what you’ve been up to.

JC: The last CD release was Mr. Smooth.

Mixed by the great Tom Tucker and released

by Bobby Z of Prince fame. We had some guest artists on the recording who were great.

Alex Ligertwood from Santana, Dean Brown from The Brecker Brothers (and everybody in the jazz world), Steven Wolf ( Elvis, Brittney Spears, Johnny Cash, just to name a few) Jason Miles (producer for Miles Davis, Sting, Chaka Kahn, Luther Van Dross, just name a

few). The CD was quite successful overseas.

Unfortunately the day we finished our follow-up CD Alex passed away. I just couldn’t go on with the project, I was heart broken. I have now decided to release the music and it will be out the first of the year. It’s a mixture of fusion jazz and smooth jazz. I’m not the biggest smooth jazz fan but it gets airplay and it can be fun to play.

RRI: In some of your photos you bear a strong, almost uncanny resemblance to the notorious gangster Al Capone. Any relation that you know of?

JC: Sorry Todd but I can’t talk about that right now. There is a book coming out October 25 by Dierdre Bair. She came to Rockford and interviewed our family several times.

Check it out, it is the best book ever written about the Big Man! RRI: Give us your thoughts on the following if you would.

RRI: Sammy Davis Jr. JC: Multi-talented, gifted man.

RRI: Jaco Pastorius (Famous eccentric Bass Player).

JC: He and Darryl Wright are my favorite bass players. I saw Jaco one time with Weather Report and it was the best show I ever saw or heard in my life.

RRI: Maggie’s Pub (Popular Rockford club in the ‘70s).

JC: Home.

RRI: Favorite Sunday morning album?

JC: Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis.

RRI: Kenny G or Branford Marsalis?

JC: Branford.

RRI: What’s next for Jeep Capone?

JC: I’m working on getting some gigs for my band Jamtrak. Reggie Boyd, Darryl Wright, Mark Johnson (Rockford boy) and yours truly. It’s possible we might have Alex Ligertwood for a few dates and a trumpet player yet to be determined.

3.3 Why Democracy Did Not Prevent Corruption

Can democracy hurt public education? of the district’s voting constituents, as seen in Figure 10.

By Allison Wang Guest Contributor

Demographics of RPS205 Student Body

T

his school year starts with encouraging news. Rockford Public Schools (RPS205) will benefit from an extra $6.5 million from state. This money came to RPS because of the high poverty rate and low percentage of students meeting the minimum state academic readiness standard.

Thank you State Senator Steve Stadelman and State Representative Litesa Wallace for working hard for us on education! Now it is up to the school district to decide how to use this extra funding.

I hope that RPS205 decides to directly use this extra $6.5 million from state for children’s learning. With $6.5 million, 40 reading specialists could be hired for three years in elementary schools. Textbooks could be purchased. Classroom sizes reduced. The possibilities are endless.

Because in the end, public education in Rockford needs change. Back in 2005, 3rd grade reading tests from Lewis Lemon Elementary School were the second best in the entire district (after the gifted program) and were so impressive that The New York Times reported it. This school was 85 percent low-income. Now in 2016, only 6 percent of students in this school meet the minimum state standard. What happened in the last ten years? And what can we do in the next ten years to help these students to their potential?

Looking at our public education in Rockford, Auburn High School had 815 incoming freshmen in 2010. Four years later, only 299 students graduated. What happened to those 500 students? What is the cost to our neighborhoods? What could be have done to prevent them from dropping out?

Instead of cutting tutors and reading specialists, why not hire more? A former Rockford principal stated, “Basically, what you’re going to do is sentence a child to a life of poverty because you’re never going to give some of the most vulnerable kids the tools to become self-reliant.”

Long-forgotten court case bubbling up again

By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

G

ov. Rauner attended a meeting last week of his “Cabinet on Children & Youth,” but it’s not known if he pulled aside one of its members, State Superintendent of Education Tony Smith, for a little chat.

The Illinois State Board of Education is reportedly mulling whether to settle a civil rights lawsuit filed eight years ago by the Chicago Urban League. The suit essentially claims that Illinois’ education funding system violates minority students’ rights because a disproportionate number of those kids reside in areas with the lowest property wealth and also attend schools with majority-minority enrollment. They’re basically getting shafted by the state, so they sued.

According to the Urban League’s CEO Shari Runner, the ISBE “walked away from lengthy settlement talks that we held this summer.” The group has filed a motion for summary judgment and Runner said last week it is “awaiting ISBE’s response.” Runner said the group hopes to “hold ISBE liable for implementing an unlawful and discriminatory school system.”

A settlement would drastically alter the way Illinois funds its school system,

hat do We the People need from this election? We need good-paying jobs. That means unions. Where unions are strong, even non-union wages rise.

Donald Trump says he’ll renegotiate the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) to bring jobs back. But Dave Johnson points out, “Trump says the U.S. is not ‘competitive’ with other countries.

He has said repeatedly we need to lower American wages, taxes and regulations to the point where we can be ‘competitive’ with Mexico and China. In other words, he

with wealthier suburban and Downstate districts losing tons of state money. It would also preempt long-stalled legislative action on the topic.

Last summer, when negotiations with the Urban League were still apparently underway, Gov. Rauner impaneled an education funding reform working group and charged it with coming up with a solution to the funding inequities by the first of next year. So, the Urban League’s civil rights lawsuit may actually be why Rauner imposed such an ambitious timetable.

What the administration doesn’t want (along with a whole lot of impacted legislators) is to take the tricky solution out of the hands of the governor and the General Assembly and give it to a Cook County judge. But there’s no guarantee that the governor’s funding reform working group will come to an agreement. A deal is politically complicated because legislators who represent wealthier school districts also tend to oppose tax hikes. But they’ll be forced to choose between losing state cash or voting for higher state taxes.

Some might actually welcome judicial intervention to spare them this fate.

Word from inside is that some ISBE legal staff are urging board members to settle the suit. The board’s chief

legal counsel, for instance, is a former Chicago Public Schools chief of staff.

The city’s school system filed an amicus brief years ago supporting the Urban League case.

Perhaps more importantly, though, a massive amount of supporting data has been compiled since the suit was brought all those years ago, mainly because of state Sen. Andy Manar’s constant push to reform the system.

The plaintiffs might be able to make their case more easily now than they could when their suit was filed. So, the logic goes, a settlement would be far better than a loss.

Superintendent Smith has made no bones about the fact that the state’s funding system is archaic and harmful to minority children, but he apparently hasn’t spoken up in the last couple of private board meetings when members discussed the litigation, and one board member swears Smith is not communicating directly with members about the case. Still, rumors abound that he is driving the settlement talks.

Smith has recently upped his national profile by traveling the country to talk about various education issues.

He is not a popular man within the administration for several reasons, and his generous employment contract

The race to the bottom

is saying that business won’t send jobs out of the country if we can make wages low enough here.”

Wait, what? Could you support someone who would create jobs by lowering U.S. wages?

Furthermore, according to Johnson, Trump wants to make U.S. wages “competitive” by pitting “states against each other instead of using China and Mexico to do that. He has said, for example, that auto companies should close factories in Michigan and move the jobs to low-wage, anti-union states. After enough people are laid off in one state ... ‘those guys are going to want their jobs back even if it is less.’”

Well said by someone with his record of stiffing his own workers!

Republicans have been doing that in states they control for years now: swindling Americans by lowering wages with what really are “Right to Work for Less” laws that strip unions of their ability to function. And as union membership drops, middle class wages decline. It’s hard to argue this outcome isn’t intentional, as corporations make more money when wages are low.

This goes right along with what’s known as “Reagonomics,” “supply-side,” or “trickle-down” economics, which results in economic crises. Known originally as

“horse-and-sparrow,” this tax-cutting theory for corporations was born in the 1890s, a decade that saw two major banking crises. It was termed “Mellonomics” in the 1920s under presidents Harding and Coolidge, championed by cutthroat banker and Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon.

We know how that turned out (hint: Great Depression).

Early voting has started in Illinois. John Burchardt is running as a 16th Congressional District write-in against Adam Kinzinger, who claims the TPP will provide jobs. The write-in candidate list won’t be posted at your polling place, but the election judge must produce it if you ask for it. Write in John

caused the Rauner folks quite a few headaches last year. Some Republicans claim he’s angling for a spot in a potential Hillary Clinton administration, which he has denied.

State Board of Education Chairman James Meeks, a former state Senator who pushed hard for education funding reform for years and was one of a tiny number of high-profile African-Americans to support Rauner’s 2014 election, has reportedly not taken an official position on the litigation.

Meeks is said to be suggesting that board members also talk with the governor’s legal counsel to get another side of the issue. The board insists that Smith doesn’t have the authority to settle the case on his own, and there’s no indication at this moment that he plans to do so.

A settlement would also create a thorny political problem for Gov. Rauner down the road. A big chunk of his political base would get the short end of the stick, which won’t go over well when he runs for reelection in 2018.

Ironically, the state government got itself dismissed from the case several years ago, so I suppose we could see the administration try to get itself back into the game if the ISBE decides to move forward with a settlement.

Burchardt’s name after blackening the “Write-in” circle on the ballot.

Why would anyone vote for someone who wants to lower American wages to Third World levels? Vote for the candidate who’s pledged to raise the minimum wage, support unions, cut middle-class taxes, expand estate taxes on the very wealthy, make college affordable, lower child care costs, and create jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure, boosting manufacturing jobs, and investing in clean energy: Hillary Clinton.

Only We the People can straighten out this mess, and only by voting. Are you registered?

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: The after shadow of Mercury retrograde will be over October 6, even though we’ve already experienced some relief over the past week as a result of it going direct. Mercury moves out of Virgo and into Libra October 7 attempting to create a fair and balanced energy. However, it can become indecisive when it comes to a one-on-one relationship status, which can become quite frustrating regarding affairs of the heart. This is not a good time to push the envelop; allow activities to evolve in their own time. Venus is in Scorpio creating a passionate exchange of energy. Utilize this planetary climate to formulate new love relationships, without pressure. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — The focus is on your family midweek, when an upgrade in pay or a large-ticket item is sold providing room for growth and development. This will allow you to create some changes within your home or complete a long-standing project that has been annoying you. Good news arrives regarding the health and welfare of a loved one you had your concerns about. Children and pets play a significant role, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— An Aries, Leo or Sagittarius provides you with a great business lead or contact during this lunar cycle. You notice a transition developing within your family and you’re not quite sure how to proceed. It would be best not to involve yourself in it until all of the facts are presented.

There are two sides to every story, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — This will prove to be a very lucky timeframe especially with financial aspects. An unexpected windfall will occur now. Your hard work and efforts are noticed by others as well as your talent. The media may take a shine to you at this time. A phone call from a friend or lover from the past will prove to be very enlightening, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — A large group or organization will bring business opportunities to the forefront at this time.

Accept invitations to mix business and pleasure now. Romantic aspects begin to take a turn for the better, providing you with options you had not noticed previously. Leave the past in the past, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Everything begins to slow down to a snail’s pace for a while midweek. Try not to panic, this is giving you the opportunity to rest and recover a bit from a health issue or an overbooked schedule.

Romantic opportunities are becoming a focus during this lunar cycle. Be open and receptive to receive love, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — An opportunity to advance within your career

sector will arrive during this lunar cycle.

Be conscientious of your appearance and consider a new look to create a shift in your energy field. Romance may have been a little stale previously; however, all eyes are on you at this time, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — A friend or romantic interest may call you on the carpet about your behavior. Count to 10 before you lash out and try to take a good look at what they are trying to say. Maybe they are worried about your health and welfare. Don’t dismiss them until you’ve had the chance to digest their intentions.

They may be trying to help you out. Your fuse can get quite short at times, try to lengthen it a bit this week, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Your worries about your persona or professional life will become unfounded shortly. The past has greatly affected the way you see your future unfolding. Innocent until proven guilty should become your motto at this time. Trust and be trustworthy and all will fall into place.

Take a day off to get all of your annoying responsibilities out of the way. Once you feel caught up it’s easier to stay that way, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Slow down a bit there, Sag. Although you should be patted on the back for your efforts and your work ethics, try not to overdo this week.

Muscle pains or emotional discomfort may be something you will be working through at this time. The body and mind will heal

simultaneously, they connect on very powerful levels. Take time out to get together with a friend for a meal. Relax and enjoy some downtime, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You will be watching the motives of another very closely at this time. Someone is preparing to fall short of their responsibilities and allow you to pick up the slack. You will need to set a boundary with this person immediately, otherwise the inmates will take over the prison. Put an end to ugly gossip that is flying around the neighborhood or workplace at this time. You will be held in high regard if you do, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — A change within your housing or career sector becomes evident during this lunar cycle. This is an opportunity to consider not a forced issue to be concerned about.

Romantic options are favorable at this time. Explore your options Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Busy schedules have not permitted you to connect with friends or family as you would wish to until now. It almost appears as though you may feel a bit estranged from loved ones this week.

Try not to take the behaviors of others personal now. As information is revealed you will find that those around you have been overwhelmed with emotional issues. Perhaps they were trying not to burden you with these aspects, Pisces.

Voices from the Grave

The Phantom of the 3rd Ward

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

T

he third ward of Rockford was a bustling place in 1885. People came and went at all hours of the night and day. Things changed for the folks of the ward during the fall of 1885. Incidents began to occur which had people so frightened they were reluctant to leave their homes after dark.

The reports all were the same. People that worked outside of the ward traveled back late in the evenings to their homes. Almost every night as the time approached midnight, anyone who might wander the streets of the downtown area was met by a horrific sight.

These people all described the incidents the same way. First, they had the feeling of being watched then the hairs on the back of their neck would rise. Suddenly, a swirling mist would appear before them. This mist would

slowly solidify until it turned into a skeleton which began to glow.

As sometimes happens in cases like this, word about the nightly visitor spread.

While adults were too frightened to be on the streets after dark, the children of the city had the opposite reaction. They flocked to the area, hoping for a glimpse of the glowing midnight wanderer.

One night in early November, a band of small children were playing a game of hide and seek in the territory where the luminous spirit traveled. The children were flitting about, squealing and laughing while they searched for the perfect hiding spot.

One little boy determined to locate the most secluded spot, wandered into a back yard. He squeezed down beside a small barrel that he found. This barrel provided an excellent hiding spot for the little boy, especially since it was covered by a large cheese box.

The boy hid so well in fact that the other children soon tired of looking for him. They all thought that the little boy had left for home. The darkness grew in the time the boy huddled there waiting for his friends. The lad, once so excited about his wonderful hiding place now grew frightened.

The boy began to imagine all sorts of horrible creatures and finally grew so frightened that he decided leave his hiding spot and race for home. When he stood up, he accidentally knocked the cheese box off the barrel. He picked up the box to replace it and glanced into the barrel. The little boy was horrified to see a decayed skull staring back at him. He covered his eyes with both hands, blocking the ghastly vision from his sight and began to scream. His screams brought neighbors running.

Authorities would later theorize that someone had decided to dig up a previously buried body and placed it in the barrel. Newspaper

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

E

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

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

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

This week, we look at the first machine shop in Rockford, opened on North 2nd Street in 1843.

articles about the event did not elaborate how they came to that decision, however.

The articles stated that police had questioned the people in the neighborhood, relentlessly searching for answers. The people who lived in the house reported that the barrel had just appeared in their yard one day. According to their statement, they had never bothered to remove the cover and look inside.

The authorities never identified the body or found the cemetery that it was taken from.

The recovery of the body did have a positive effect, however. The glowing spirit that once terrified the people of the third ward was never seen again after the reburial of the bones.

Business Sense

Falling leaves a signal to both homeowners and scam artists

By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

I

t’s fall, and many homeowners will begin preparing their homes for cooler weather by hiring specialists to clean and make repairs. But, you need to be cautious – scammers see this time as an opportunity to rip-off homeowners, and in some cases, steal thousands of dollars for unnecessary work.

These scammers are specific as to who they are looking for, they often target middle-class homeowners, and in particular senior citizens. They look professional, are polite, and drive nice vehicles, all to fool the homeowner into thinking that they are trustworthy.

Over the years their scams haven’t changed much, and they are deliberate in the way they carry them out. Typically, the scammer provides a verbal estimate to do the work for a very low price, but they later charge a much higher price, and the quality of the work is often shoddy.

When the con-artists get to the door they often offer these kind of jobs: Chimney/roof repairs – Scammers disguised as chimney sweeps will tell you your chimney needs to be inspected, and then use hard sales tactics to get you to make expensive, unfounded repairs. Don’t fall for it.

Gutter cleaning – Fraudulent gutter cleaners tend to prey on the elderly or those who cannot clean their gutters easily. They will assure you that they’ve worked in the neighborhood before, and quote you a very low estimate in return for shoddy, incomplete work.

Energy audits – Many scammers offer a “free” energy audit to reduce heating costs, claiming to be a representative from your local utility company. They insist on costly upgrades for your attic, such as solar blankets or insulation, and may or may not burglarize your home while conducting the audit.

Ductwork cleaning – Ductwork cleaning is rarely a necessity, so take caution. Scammers are known to damage your heating system while cleaning it in order to leech more money out of you for repairs. They also may create indoor air hazards.

What are the clues you are dealing with a scammer?

• They come to your door unexpectedly.

• Without much inspection, quickly point out the problem they say needs repair.

• Say they have leftover materials from a neighbor’s job or just finished a project there.

• Offer unbelievably low prices.

• Accept cash or check only.

• Promise an unconditional guarantee on the work.

• Start work immediately.

• Work quickly, taking only 30 minutes to an hour to finish the job.

Before having work done by someone you don’t know, research the individual or company. There are also tips available on the BBB website that can guide you in making your decision.

Still time to plant your garlic

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

One of the last remaining actions you need to do in your garden this fall is plant garlic. Many people who want to grow garlic forget that it needs to be planted in the fall.

The reason for this is that garlic requires a long growing season and needs to overwinter. By planting in the fall before the soil freezes, this gives the garlic the right amount of time to reach maturity by the end of June.

Garlic is in the Allium family which includes onions, shallots, and leeks. The entire garlic is called a bulb while they actual pieces of garlic are the cloves. The cloves are what you will find as seed garlic in the stores.

As the clove grows during the season, it will fully develop into the garlic bulb.

There are a wide range of garlic varieties out there. Some varieties are better for Italian or Asian cooking. Some varieties may have a greater heat level to them. When deciding on a garlic variety, you want to choose a hardneck type. Hardneck types grow best in our climate while Softneck garlic grows better in warmer climates. Recommended varieties

for our area include Music, Carpathian, Spanish Roja, among others. Many of the farmers markets in our area are still open and you might find vendors there that are able to sell you garlic to be planted this fall.

Garlic purchased from grocery stores should not be planted. The reason to avoid this is that this garlic is the softneck type and will not grow as well as if it was a hardneck variety. You also do not know what the variety is.

When planting garlic, plant each clove double its height. The garlic clove should be planted as it appears in the garlic bulb with the bigger part facing downward. Space garlic cloves 3-6 inches apart. Garlic needs to be mulched with about 6 inches of heavy straw or leaves. This will protect the garlic as the colder temperatures and snow set in. In the spring, you do not need to remove the mulch as the green tips of the garlic will grow past the mulch.

With these garlic growing tips in mind, you are now in the right time frame to plant garlic until the soil freezes.

Pork price outlook turns sour as market overrun

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Hog prices have collapsed to levels far below a breakeven point. There is worry that there are more hogs headed to market this fall than available packing capacity, and the latest USDA inventory indicates there are more hogs than had been anticipated. According to a Purdue University Extension economist, these factors are providing a sour taste for the industry’s financial outlook through 2017.

“Pork markets have been concerned about packing capacity this fall and the September Hogs and Pigs report from USDA provided reasons for additional concern,” Chris Hurt says. “Producers indicated that the number of market hogs was up nearly 3 percent on Sept. 1, and numbers in the heaviest weight categories were up 4 percent. This is consistent with September slaughter numbers that were up about 5 percent. However, the greatest concern was in the last half of September when the packer head counts were up almost 8 percent. Over the past two weeks, slaughter numbers have averaged about 2.45 million head per week and packer capacity is thought to be around 2.5 million head per week. This means capacity is just 2 percent higher than the head counts for

the past two weeks.”

Hurt says the slaughter numbers should ease a bit through the last quarter of the year.

The USDA report suggests the numbers will be up 4 percent in October, but drop to 3 percent higher in October and then 2 percent higher in December. If those projections are correct, packer capacity will be sufficient.

The nation’s breeding herd was reported as up just .5 percent, continuing a modest expansion that began in 2014 following record-high hog prices and record producer profits. Although the breeding herd expansion has remained small this year, the number of pigs per litter is setting new records. The summer weaning rate was up nearly 2 percent to a record 10.58 pigs per litter and the annual rate for 2016 is expected to reach a record 10.5 pigs per litter. Farrowing intentions for this fall are unchanged from a year ago, and are down slightly for the winter.

“Still, with the number of pigs per litter rising about 1 percent per year, these modest farrowing reductions will result in increases in pork production in 2017,” Hurt says.

According to Hurt, market weights dropped a bit more than 1 percent in September and could be an indication that producers have recently been pulling some hogs forward to avoid even

lower prices later in the fall.

“If this is the case, it may provide some relief to slaughter numbers into October and November,” Hurt says. “Pork supplies are expected to be up 2 to 3 percent in the final quarter this year. In the first quarter of 2017 pork production is expected to be up 1 percent and then be unchanged to up 1 percent for the second and the third quarters next year.

“Hog prices have been dropping under the pressure of higher than expected market hog numbers, concerns about inadequate fall packer capacity, and continued increases in the supply of competitive meats,” Hurt says. “National lean prices on a liveweight basis have fallen to the higher $30s. These are prices not seen since 2008 and 2009 when the Great Recession weakened meat demand. Liveweight prices are expected to average in the mid-to-higher $30s this fall, in the higher $30’s this winter, and then in the mid-to-upper $40s for the second and third quarters of 2017. Hog prices averaged about $50 in 2015, but will drop to an average near $46 this year and to around $43 next year.”

Lower corn and soybean meal prices this fall will drop estimated costs of production to about $47 to $48 per live hundredweight, Hurt adds. With hog prices in the higher $30s this fall and winter, estimated losses will be $25 to $30 per head. Losses are expected to moderate in the spring and summer of 2017 and intensify

once more in the fall of 2017. For the year 2016, estimated losses are about $10 per head and for 2017, projected losses are at $16 per head.

“The issue of inadequate packer capacity should be eliminated in 2017 with the opening of two new facilities in Iowa and Michigan that will expand capacity by around 6 percent,” Hurt says. “With the recent squeeze on capacity, packer margins have been strong. The new capacity should reduce packer margins and provide the opportunity for farm level prices to be higher.

However, this is not likely to be helpful this fall and winter.”

Losses are expected to be large this fall and winter, Hurt says, and at levels not seen since late 2012. Expected losses for 2017 should begin to move the industry toward thoughts of reducing the breeding herd.

“If price prospects do not improve it will likely be the second half of 2017 when a movement toward liquidation gets underway,” Hurt says.

“This means that hog prices could begin to improve in the spring of 2018.

“Feed costs from the 2016 crops are expected to be at their lowest level in years,” Hurt concludes. “Higher feed costs can be expected for the 2017 and 2018 crops assuming a normal world weather situation. If 2017 weather should be adverse in a major growing region of the globe, then higher feed prices would be a greater stimulus to initiate a liquidation period.”

NFL

A new Bears season and quarterback? Get it together

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

I

t would be hard to confuse Sunday’s battle for last place between the Detroit Lions and Bears as some kind of monumental tilt with playoff implications. The Bears’ 17-14 win over Detroit was every bit what you’d expect from two objectively mediocre teams at the moment. Sloppy miscommunications, untimely penalties, missed coverage, all defined what will be a potential quality jumping off point for these Bears.

A record of 1-3 and you’re still playing for something meaningful, looking to build off of previous efforts and believing in the overall mission. Now if you’re winless through a month? That begins tuning out coaches territory and a lack of faith in the overall process.

Even while circumstances paint the Bears as a likely non-playoff team right now – who knows what could change – it’s important for one of the youngest teams in the NFL to develop a semblance of positivity.

You could say their victory was “just” a victory over Detroit but that’s a flawed sentiment. Laugh at the Lions’ franchise misfortunes all you want but they’ve had Chicago’s number recently. The Bears had lost six straight games to their division rival. The Lions came in with the NFL’s fourth ranked offense. They were every bit the gorilla and stepping stone this franchise needed to overcome. Don’t beat this team that seemingly had a hex over you and you’ve also gone a year without a home win. In the NFL, wins like this are oh so precious. You take them, run, and don’t say another word.

Every triumph should be celebrated.

Not another peep.

With two struggling 1-3 teams on the docket in the next couple of weeks in the Colts and Jaguars, now the Bears have an opportunity to work their way back to .500. After an utterly hopeless start to the season that had many questioning the franchise’s direction, there’s an ideal they can work for. There’s a new chance. As long as the overall health of Chicago’s roster improves, who knows what happens from here.

Destiny is still in their hands.

You see it in the belief of new

guys like defensive tackle Akiem Hicks. Said Hicks of the team’s upsand-downs, “I think the guys have been very resilient. I think we’ve seen our faults and tried to make the best of them.”

For now, that’s all these Bears can do. They are a very flawed but young team. Growing pains will continue and the plan will veer off, but at least they’re prepared for that development in any event.

But we need to have a conversation. Something the Bears no doubt want to intentionally dig at the core of their team. Ah, yes a quarterback controversy. Where are the streamers? Where’s the confetti? Please set it all up.

Brian Hoyer has admirably filled in for the injured Jay Cutler.

Sunday’s performance where he went 28/36 for 302 yards and two touchdowns to no turnovers, was the perfect back-up quarterback performance. Hoyer has thrown for at least 300 yards and not thrown an interception in two straight starts, while Cutler only has two such games in 99 career starts with the same mark and lack of blemishes.

(We’ll get to why this can be misleading in a minute) Hoyer played within the confines of the offense. He let his receivers make plays such as Eddie Royal’s 64-yard catch-and-run late in the contest. Occasionally, he created a play out of his own accord outside the pocket like on the game’s first touchdown to Royal in the first quarter. Again, he didn’t turnover the ball. Seriously, this was the most important aspect of his game. And then, he turned it around and handed it off to a budding young star tailback in Jordan Howard – who enjoyed his first career 100-yard game – with 111 yards on 23 carries.

There wasn’t anything flashy or particularly spectacular about the performance. Hoyer had and or has a set responsibility as a backup passer. Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains understands his limitations and is now game-planning an offense the way he should when or if Cutler returns. Yes I said if, because it seems the Bears aren’t shying away from creating a story.

Just listen to head coach John Fox on the matter.

“Anybody that’s performing well, I don’t think we’re going to be likely to change.” said Fox of Hoyer’s play and the Cutler conundrum.

Fox has been around the NFL for decades. He’s been the leader of three separate organizations now.

He knows exactly what he’s doing in planting seeds of dissent or doubt.

It’s not casting a light on Cutler and it’s not necessarily praising Hoyer’s “transcendent” performance of late.

Simply put, while Cutler heals – and who knows how long that will take – Hoyer is entrenching himself into the starting position.

Though, entrenching himself only in the way of gamesmanship to keep people guessing.

Cutler, while never living up to the immeasurable bar set, is the superior player and leader, despite what anyone will have you believe.

“Smoking Jay” isn’t the long-term answer, but it shouldn’t preclude him from giving this team the best chance to win. Keep teams guessing but the Bears can’t handicap their own team. There’s no controversy.

You may well win a championship with a different passer but Cutler is the guy to keep in his stead until then. Yes that’s even while some will want him to continue to be everyone’s NFL villain.

And Hoyer’s statistical anomaly is just that. They are the only 300-yard games of his journeyman career.

That benchmark doesn’t illustrate team success either. Cutler has thrown for 300 yards 16 times in his Bears career and they are just 6-10 in those efforts. There are extrapolating factors as to why they don’t mean as much as the flashy box score will tell you. In particular for a Bears team built around it’s defense and running game in this era. The fact that Hoyer didn’t turn over the ball should be commended but not seen as some magical outlet. The Bears scored 17 points on one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Their defense only allowed six points.

That’s why they’re off the hook. Not because of anything remarkable the wizard Hoyer managed. Let’s also not forget that most of Hoyer’s production has come against two of the league’s worst defenses with one being mostly in garbage time against Dallas.

In any case, as mentioned, Cutler’s had plenty of high output games in the same manner but in those games he’s had an interception or two, because he takes chances and stretches the field more. Something Hoyer doesn’t or will ever have the ability to do.

No matter how you feel about either stopgap – because that’s what both men are – Cutler is the better player here. Anything Hoyer does, Cutler does better. This is his team until further notice. He’s not perfect but it’s guaranteed he gives the Bears a better chance to move the ball and win in the meantime.

There’s no doubt Cutler should start when healthy and able. Whether anyone likes it or not.

Week 5 @ Colts

When the Bears first met Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, they harassed him to the tune of three interceptions in a 41-21 win for Chicago in 2012. The future seemed bright then for Luck even while his debut was spoiled by the Bears.

When the Bears are on defense: Luck is one of the league’s best.

It’s exemplified in how he’s able to make something out of nothing even while having one of the worst offensive lines and overall supporting casts around him. He’s dragged this awful Colts team to the playoffs on multiple occasions through sheer will.

That isn’t the case recently.

Last season Luck missed most of the year due to a rib injury, from accumulated punishment, and the Colts missed the postseason. This year, the roster has not changed whatsoever under the “careful” hand of general manager Ryan Grigson, and you’re seeing the same results.

Indianapolis is one of the worst teams in the league. Any talk of negativity with Chicago mostly concerns their heavy injuries. At least there’s upside with youthful talent.

The Colts have no such luxury. They have the league’s 12th most efficient offense DVOA-wise simply on the merits of Luck creating well, luck.

Even while Luck’s been sacked 15 times in four games – the most in the league – somehow the Colts are hanging on, but by a thread.

But he’s all they have sans receiver TY Hilton and some other moderately dangerous weapons like Donte Moncrief. There should be no reason the Bears can’t lock this team down and pressure Luck even with their own assortment of ailments.

This is the kind of game you hope where it could be a coming out party for Leonard Floyd and Willie Young.

Luck will force the ball allowing young playmakers on the back end like Deiondre’ Hall and Bryce Callahan to jump on mistakes.

If they can’t shut down a Colts offense with no protection, they won’t be able to do it against anyone.

Have no fear.

When the Bears are on offense: Enough about the horrid Colts attack. Let’s talk about the defense that can’t stop anyone.

While Luck has been the miracle man on one side, there’s no such worker for the defense. This is the NFL’s 28th ranked defense DVOAwise. They’ve allowed the 25th most yards and are currently giving up 31.3 points per-game, good for a sparkling 30th in the league.

There are no impact guys that could change the game for Indianapolis. Corner Vontae Davis would normally be a player to watch out for, but with no discernible pass rush, his effectiveness is hindered altogether. Seven sacks is right smack in the middle of mediocre. The Colts don’t pressure the quarterback enough for anyone on the back end to have an effect. Defensive end Robert Mathis – once a star of epic proportions – can’t get it done on his own. Age plays a factor for the 35-year-old this team was counting on, as he has zero sacks on the season.

Whether it’s Hoyer or Cutler, a balanced attack that was used against the Lions should be enough to grind out a victory here. You don’t need to create big plays against Indianapolis. They make enough mistakes to gift them to you.

If the Bears employ that control method, the Colts defense will have no say.

Early pick: Bears 29 Colts 21.

Maddon still tweaking playoff roster

By Cat Garcia Contributor

T

he Chicago Cubs regular season came to a close on Sunday afternoon at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, the Cubs coming away with a 7-4 victory over the Reds and finishing the season with 103 wins. The Cubs were the only major league club to finish the season reaching the 100-win mark.

As playoff season has officially arrived, Wrigley Field is set to open up shop again this Friday after the Cubs take a four-day respite before heading into the NLDS. The Cubs secured home field advantage throughout the division and championship series during the last week of September, and will host the first two games of the NLDS on Friday at 8:15 p.m. and Saturday at 7:08.

The team that the Cubs will be facing will be determined by the winner of the NL Wild Card game between the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets on Wednesday evening at Citi Field. The Mets squeaking their way into the playoffs with a victory on Sunday afternoon will send ace Noah Syndergaard to the mound to face Madison Bumgarner in the battle to keep their postseason hopes alive.

Playoff rosters do not need to be set until before Friday night’s match, and will likely not be determined until the league knows the outcome of Wednesday’s Wild Card match. However, during comments to the media on Tuesday, Cubs coach Joe Maddon said that 11 pitchers and 14 position players will likely be the set up for the NLDS roster.

“The boxes have been checked in the regular season, we won the division, we stayed relatively healthy, we’ve played well.”

Maddon said on Sunday. ”... All this stuff we talked about in camp regarding embracing the target and dealing with the pressure, we’ve done all those things.”

The order of the rotation going into the playoffs will likely be the biggest question during this years playoffs. Last year, there was no question that Jake Arrieta would be starting pivotal games in playoff series, however, with Kyle Hendricks recently emerging as one of the sharpest pitchers in this staff of strong candidates, the tables have turned quite a bit since last season.

Jon Lester has proven that he can be the pitcher that the Cubs expected him to be upon signing in the winter of 2014, and not just on the mound. Lester comes to this club with a bounty of postseason experience, and is ready to help set the tone in the clubhouse that his younger teammates may need. “This season isn’t anything unless we

Cubs’ projected NLDS Game 1 start Jon Lester works out in the bullpen at Wrigley Field Monday. @Cubs

do what we showed up at spring training to do – win a World Series,” Lester said earlier this week. “It’s go time, now we have to live up to the expectations and hype.”

• On the South Side, the White Sox season ended in a relatively quiet fashion as franchise ace Chris Sale took the mound one last time in 2016. However, Sale’s outing was a less than spectacular final act to his stellar season. Sale gave up five earned runs including two home runs during a short five innings of work.

Sale finished the 2016 season with a 3.34 ERA, and is still strongly considered one of the top candidates for this year’s AL Cy Young Award.

The White Sox brass wasted no time in beginning to implement some much-needed change for 2017. With manager Robin Ventura’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, the White Sox announced on Monday that bench coach and former Cubs manager Rick Renteria would be taking over as the White Sox manager in 2017.

Renteria is a strong managerial option and

will hopefully be the beginning of much needed positive change for the south side in the coming seasons.

Cubs more-than-ready for NLDS

By James Fegan

T Contributor

he Chicago Cubs are the unquestioned best team in baseball, and have been all year.

While Kyle Schwarber has been lost for the year; Jason Hammel has a tight elbow; Jorge Soler is getting over a sore side; and Chris Coghlan is fighting off a mild ankle sprain, they enter the postseason with the health of their core players – perhaps because they have so many of them – being the envy of the league. I picked the Cubs to win it all before the season started and they have done nothing but make me look like the tremendous genius that I am.

In a testament of their dominance, Baseball Prospectus’ playoff odds give the Cubs a onein-four chance of winning the World Series out of the 10-team playoff field: 25.2 percent, which, it goes without saying, gives them a better chance than anyone else.

Even with likely the most dominant team of the last decade – a historically great team – the Cubs are overwhelmingly unlikely to win the World Series and break their ignominious streak. This is not entirely an attempt to throw cold water on the playoff excitement, but to some degree a tacit endorsement of the Cubs’ deliberate, multi-year, long competitive window plan. Super teams are great, but perennial contenders are the only way to start tilting the post season’s cruel odds in your favor, and this is a good phrase for muttering repeatedly in a monotone if things goes south early this October in Chicago.

Because it’s also a rationalization. The playoff odds are telling about the difficulty of the path, but they are also limited to what we truly know and can demonstrate and prove: the rate this team has created and prevented runs over the whole season and how often such a team would normally carve its way to the championship.

But baseball, especially a small number of games like these, has a lot to do with matchups. That can mean issues as broad and fore-

seeable as the Cubs annihilating left-handed pitching to the tune of a .267/.357/.449 line all year and possibly facing a Giants team that would offer up Madison Bumgarner and Matt Moore as starters, to something as discrete as advanced scouting revealing a tell in a pitcher’s delivery, a slip in delivery or swing mechanics that just happened to crop up in the last week, to the injuries and physical degradation every team has endured at the end of a 162-game season, and how they’re affecting particular players on the actual night of the game.

Which is to the say the Cubs’ actual odds could be significantly higher or lower depending on factors that go beyond a basic stat sheet and calculation of how good they are. If I had to bet, I would say they are higher, because while cliche assumptions like ace starting pitchers, defense, or small ball becoming suddenly more or less important in playoffs are speculation at best, the Cubs distinguish themselves by being able to lean on any facet of their team for dominant stretches.

Their roster was so complete entering

2016 that no team got to focus more on adding pieces, such as Aroldis Chapman, that specifically strengthened for short series play, and the pressure of the postseason, an all-enveloping but unquantifiable factor when playing with championships on the line, at least won’t be a foreign concept to most of this roster.

The real folly of the playoffs is not that they fail to crystallize the conclusions of the regular season, it’s that we ever expect them to. If the playoffs mirrored the regular season, or were set up to specifically to reward the best long-term team, they would not have a purpose. The Cubs were the best by far at playing games everyday for six months, and are the logical choice going forward.

Now they’ll embark on something entirely different, and while it may not be fair to the regular season juggernaut, perhaps they are ready to show how far their dominance can extend.
