Donald Trump has fallen further behind Hillary Clinton and now trails her by 8 points among likely voters, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, with 1 in 5 Republicans saying his vulgar comments about groping women disqualify him from the presidency. The national tracking poll was launched after Sunday night’s second presidential debate, where Trump was pressed to explain his comments in a 2005 videotape about grabbing women’s genitalia. He described the remarks, which first surfaced on Friday, as “locker room” banter and apologized to Americans. The poll released on Tuesday showed Clinton, the Democratic nominee, had increased her lead over Trump, the Republican nominee, to 8 percentage points on Monday from 5 points last week. When asked to pick between the two major-party candidates, 45 percent of likely voters said they supported Clinton while 37 percent supported Trump. Another 18 percent said they would not support either candidate. Trump was under pressure during Sunday’s debate to restore confidence in his struggling campaign after dozens of lawmakers repudiated him over the weekend. He hammered Clinton’s handling of classified information while serving as secretary of state and referred to her as “the devil.” At one point, he said he would jail Clinton if he were president. Among those who said they watched at least portions of the debate, 53 percent said Clinton won while 32 percent said Trump won. The results fell along partisan lines, however: 82 percent of Democrats felt Clinton won, while 68 percent of Republicans felt that Trump won.

Flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew has displaced several thousand people in North Carolina, and authorities were helping more evacuate on Tuesday as swollen rivers threatened a wide swath of the state. Governor Pat McCrory warned of “extremely dangerous” conditions in the coming days in central and eastern North Carolina, where several rivers were at record or near-record levels. Matthew, the most powerful Atlantic storm since 2007, killed at least 1,000 people in Haiti last week before barreling up the U.S. southeastern coast and causing nearly 30 deaths in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. At a late afternoon news conference, McCrory said three more drownings had been confirmed, raising the death toll in the state to 17. An additional U.S. death occurred on Monday night in Lumberton, North Carolina, where officials said a highway patrol officer fatally shot a man who became hostile and flashed a handgun during search-and-rescue efforts in fast-running floodwater.

Change in Springfield? It’s up to you

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

silent and familiar scourge is creeping into Springfield again. With state legislators busy concerning themselves about campaign dollars and elections, ratings agencies sit with bated breath waiting for any sign of movement as Illinois moves closer to yet another budget impasse. A last-minute stopgap spending plan was put in place over the summer, allowing Illinois to avoid starting its second straight fiscal year without a budget. The state is stumbling along, nursing an $8 billion-plus backlog of payments while the governor and General Assembly do their best not to make eyes at one another. This will not do. Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner ran as the apocryphal “change” candidate just two years ago. He was an alleged shift away from the cronyism of past chief executives; a man who could get the state back on track because he knows business better than anyone in Illinois’

broken government. Sounds like a familiar refrain, doesn’t it? So far, Rauner has provided much the same, though with an extreme rightward slant. By any measure, he’s spent more time in office campaigning than he has governing. He’s held the financial status of the state in the balance over the consideration of his own non-budgetary reform measures. He hires his friends and his wife’s friends from the private industry for wellpaid public service positions. He funnels money into elections to see his preferred choices succeed. Apparently cronyism is acceptable, so long as the cronies are your pals; not Mike Madigan’s. Meanwhile, the legislature remains in deadlock. Democrats in the House are near a veto-proof supermajority, enough to terrify the governor into pumping nearly $20 million of his own into state elections this cycle. Republicans have been left to clean up after a spat of unfortunate defeats in the primaries and the sudden resig-

nation of state Rep. Ron Sandack, distracting themselves with a set of noisy reform measures. But no one can find it within them to sit down and bang out a budget so far. We were told when the temporary spending plan passed in the summer that negotiations would continue with an eye to wrapping up the details once the November elections had passed. So far, nearly all work on the budget for the final six months of the fiscal year remains undone, and the utterances from Springfield give little hope of movement before or even after Nov. 8. “I hope I’m wrong and that there is an effort to come together and get a budget, but I have not talked to too many people who actually believe that,” Democratic state Rep. Elaine Nekritz said last week. “We can’t keep doing stopgaps,” Republican state Rep. Steve Andersson added. “We can’t keep operating without a budget and just with consent decrees.” And yet, nothing is being done to avert yet another embarrassment

for the state, and another hit to our credit rating. Every day that ticks by brings the likelihood of a downgrade to our borrowing status closer and closer. The Republicans in the Assembly have spent the majority of their time since the stopgap plan was passed campaigning for term limits and redistricting reform, both “reforms” aimed directly at Madigan, both goals of the GOP only in states where it suits them. Outside Illinois’ borders, they’ve redrawn state legislature and Congressional maps that would need an act of God to see their Republican friends lose a seat. But you don’t need term limits or redistricting to vote out representatives who have let down the state, and who continue to use the sustainability of the state’s economy as a political football. All you need are proactive challengers willing to go to Springfield and try to get something done. And guess what? If they let you down, you can vote them out next time, too! The system isn’t setup to keep

representatives in Springfield (or Washington, or the city council...) indefinitely; that only happens if we allow it, if we allow the millions and millions of dollars meant to influence our votes to have their way. Right now, neither side in Springfield is doing their job to secure the financial future of this state, allowing the regular business of its schools and social services and road crews – all those essential functions of our government – to continue. There are two challengers to local legislators’ seats this November, and they’re both being outspent 10-to-1 to preserve the status quo. I’m not going so far as to endorse them, but maybe (just maybe) if it’s a change you’re still looking for, you can start by looking at the legislature, and start by looking at the persons representing you in Springfield. They’re the ones leaving the heavy lifting to be done at the last second yet again, and they’re the ones who continue to let Illinois down when the hard work of government comes calling.

Don’t eliminate townships, school districts

By Paul Gorski Contributor

ov. Bruce Rauner and Rauner-ites like County Board Chairman candidate Frank Haney think they gain votes by telling residents that we need to eliminate layers of local government. That false argument is based on the false idea that many local Illinois governments offer duplicative services, that is, one government offers the same service that others do. If you look at our local Illinois governments, many of them offer services that: 1) offer services no other local government offers; and 2) were demanded by and voted on by taxpayers. Two types of government usually under attack by Rauner-ites are townships and school districts. Taxpayers might gripe about school district taxes, but they are protective of their school districts. Most residents like the idea of having a dedicated school board managing a local school district, a board the residents can vote in and out of office. A local school board is focused one topic: the education of their children in that community. Yes, we might complain about school district taxes, but you’ll have a better chance of getting those taxes changed if you have school board

members dedicated to the schools and accountable to local taxpayers; not part of one huge school district or other local government. Imagine a Rauner-like proposition that would suggest the schools in Rockton, Roscoe, Winnebago and Pecatonica merge with the Rockford school district. I can’t imagine that idea would be very popular with any of the residents in any of those affected communities. Townships have long been under attack by people who do not understand the services that townships provide. Township government is one the oldest and leanest forms of government in Illinois. By default, township government has very basic responsibilities, the maintenance of roads being the most costly. If you were to suggest to many Burritt, Winnebago, and other township residents that the county might take over all their roads, I am certain there would be an outcry. Any service a township provides outside basic township services has to be requested by and voted on by township residents. Township residents often request special services – services not provided by their other local governments. Township voters have demanded a variety of services over the years. Below is list of voter-initiated and approved township services and the number of Illinois townships providing

these services: Parks – 110; Recycling – 138; Food Pantry – 121; Senior Center – 101; Youth Services – 92; Senior Center – 101; Literacy Program – 4; Community Center – 532; Mental Illness Program – 19; Cemeteries/Graveyards – 554; Refuse collection and or disposal – 69. Township voters asked for these services and voted for these services. John Nelson, candidate for County Board Chairman, has served as an attorney for Harlem Township for many years and knows the importance of township government. He is familiar with lean, conservatively run township governments. Not only that, Nelson has experience with the county and city of Rockford. He probably has ideas for government consolidation too based on his experience, but he is not going to force his wishes on other local units of government. He is a coalition builder. Most township officials in Winnebago County are Republicans. Would fiscally conservative Republicans like Owen Bach and the late, great township officials Pat O’Donnell and Pete MacKay have made township government such a big part of their lives if they did not appreciate the value of townships? I think not. Nelson and these Republicans have chosen to associate themselves with the government nicknamed

“the government closest to the people.” As a Cherry Valley Township Trustee, I am familiar with smaller, more responsive governments. I have also served as a county board member and as a library district trustee. Voters requested the creation of that library district too, many years ago, and Cherry Valley residents are very proud of their local library. Having served on the county board, the county has its hands full now. If any candidate for county board chairman or board member is suggesting that the county assume more services from other local governments, I suggest that the candidate does not have a clue about what services the county provides now. Sounds like big government wanting to get bigger. I am sure voters do not want that. Being a Libertarian-leaning Democrat I suggest that those people wishing to streamline governments look at the services the governments provide, not the governments themselves. If you find that a service is not required, eliminate that service. Eliminate or consolidate enough services and you might be able to eliminate some units of government. But don’t start eliminating bodies of government until you can show they’re no longer needed.

Election 2016

The gutless Paul Ryan

Speaker of the House still won’t rescind his endorsement of a candidate whose conduct he finds “sickening.” By Aaron Rupar ThinkProgress.org

hen it comes to policy, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-WI, and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump have disagreements on key issues like entitlements and trade. Ryan has also denounced Trump’s incendiary rhetoric on numerous occasions, going so far as to call some of his comments the “textbook definition of racism.” Nonetheless, Ryan wants to have it both ways when it comes to Trump. Ryan may speak out against him, but he has also officially endorsed him. And now, his position on the GOP nominee has become incoherent. In the wake of the release on Friday of a 2005 video where Trump is heard bragging about sexually assaulting women, Ryan disinvited Trump from what was to be their first joint campaign appearance the next day in Wisconsin. He released a statement saying he was “sickened” by Trump’s comments while still standing by his endorsement. Ryan went a step further during a Monday morning news conference with House Republicans, telling members of his caucus that he will no longer defend Trump. “The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities,” a Ryan spokesman said, according to numerous reports. While Ryan’s position effectively concedes the presidency to Hillary Clinton, he didn’t actually rescind his endorsement of Trump. Instead, he basically told members looking for guidance, ‘You do you.’

So Ryan continues to endorse a candidate whom he disagrees with on key issues, whom he has denounced on numerous occasions, whom he won’t appear with, and whose conduct he finds “sickening.” Why won’t he take the additional step of rescinding his endorsement? Part of the answer is undoubtedly that Trump, who’s still his party’s nominee, remains popular among a segment of Republicans. For instance, during the Saturday event in Wisconsin where Trump was originally scheduled to appear, Ryan “was booed and heckled by Donald Trump supporters.” And Trump still has his supporters within Ryan’s caucus. As the New York Times reports with regard to the Monday conference call: “[W]hile he did not say he was withdrawing his endorsement, some of the House members took it that way and angrily attacked him for effectively giving up on Mr. Trump. “Representative Dana Rohrabacher, a veteran California conservative, was particularly heated, according to House Republicans on the call. About 45 minutes into the call, Mr. Ryan had to come back on the line to clarify that he was not formally rescinding his support from Mr. Trump.” But in the wake of the publication of the shocking hot mic clip, Trump’s support appears to be tanking nationally. Ryan may have reached the conclusion his party has a better chance of retaining its congressional majorities by distanc-

ing from Trump. In the process of trying to have it both ways, however, Ryan has arrived at a position that is even harder to figure out than where Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, was last summer. At the time, Ayotte justified her plan to vote for Trump by making a distinction between “voting” and “endorsing.” “Everyone gets a vote, I do too,” Ayotte said on CNN in August. “And an endorsement is when you are campaigning with someone.” (Ayotte now says she’ll no longer vote for Trump.) Ryan, who says he won’t appear with Trump but is still endorsing him, is clearly operating under a different definition of “endorsement” than Ayotte. Another reason that Ryan may be hesitant to break with Trump once and for all is pragmatic. In the increasingly unlikely event Trump wins the presidency next month, Ryan hopes Trump will help him ram his tax-cutting, entitlement-slashing agenda through Congress. In fact, Ryan outlined his plan to do so under President Trump just last week. Trump, for his part, predicted that Republicans who distance themselves from him will pay a price on November 8. And hours after details of Ryan’s Monday morning conference call went public, Trump, via Twitter, put him on blast by name: “Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominee”.

Trump ups rhetoric on GOP doubters, says ‘shackles’ are off

By John Whitesides & Susan Heavey Reuters

White House candidate Donald Trump stepped up his attacks against U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday, calling him a weak and ineffective leader but saying his campaign “shackles” were off now that Ryan and other establishment Republicans have abandoned him. The day after Ryan, the top Republican in Congress, told party lawmakers he was breaking with the presidential nominee and would not campaign for him, Trump issued a barrage of social media posts criticizing Republicans who have fled his campaign. The stinging attacks deepened a dramatic rift in the party over the former reality TV star, who has seen a string of Republican defections after a video surfaced on Friday showing him bragging crudely to a reporter in 2005 about groping

women and making unwanted sexual advances. “Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty,” Trump said in a tweet on Tuesday. He complained in another tweet that it was hard to do well with “zero support” from Ryan and others, but added in a later Twitter post, “It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to.” Ryan told congressional Republicans he would put his energy into preserving party majorities in Congress, all but conceding that Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton would likely win the White House in the Nov. 8 election. The move angered some Trump supporters, although Ryan said he would not withdraw his endorsement of the New York businessman. Trump, 70, has portrayed himself as tough on

national security, and his campaign released a television advertisement on Tuesday featuring footage of Clinton, a 68-year-old former secretary of state, stumbling last month after leaving a service commemorating the Sept. 11 attacks. Her campaign said she had been diagnosed a few days earlier with pneumonia. “Hillary Clinton doesn’t have the fortitude, strength or stamina to lead in our world,” the ad’s narrator says. “She failed as secretary of state. Don’t let her fail us again.” Trump, whose campaign has been marked for months by controversies over both his policies and his brash style, has slipped further behind Clinton in opinion polls. Many Republicans are worried his chaotic campaign could hurt their chances of holding majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate in next month’s election, and will inflict long-term damage on the party.

In an extraordinary party revolt, nearly half of all 331 incumbent Republican senators, House members and governors have condemned Trump’s lewd remarks on the video, and roughly one in 10 have called for him to drop out of the race, a Reuters review of official statements and local news coverage indicates. Unlike Ryan, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told RNC members on Monday that the committee, the party’s leadership and fundraising arm, still backed Trump, two RNC members told Reuters. Trump’s vice presidential running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, reinforced his support in television interviews on Monday. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a former rival for the White House who has became a close ally of Trump, also reaffirmed his backing although he called Trump’s comments in the 2005 video “completely indefensible.”

AG weighs in on Mautino case

Subpoenas are going out to the bank, service station and campaign treasurers at the center of a Streator resident’s case against Illinois Auditor General Frank Mautino, and the state’s attorney general is finally weighing in on the case. Mautino has been dogged with questions surrounding hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds paid to a bank and a service station in his legislative district from the time he was a state lawmaker. After several attempts to put the case on hold were shot down, Mautino’s attorney filed an appeal, but Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan urged against granting the appeal. The brief said Mautino “will be able to invoke his Fifth Amendment privilege” against

self-incrimination and “while a negative inference may be drawn in the proceedings from Mautino’s invocation of his right to remain silent, the state board still must prove its case.” Liberty Justice Center Senior Attorney Jacob Huebert represents the David Cooke, who brought the case against Mautino. Huebert said they agree the case shouldn’t be delayed any further “so that we’ll be able to proceed quickly and get the information we need to see what Frank Mautino is really up to with all these campaign funds.” Meanwhile, Huebert said subpoenas are going out to the service station and the bank from Mautino’s legislative district. Huebert said Mautino might be able to re-

fuse to testify against himself in an upcoming public hearing, but that may not apply to the other parties. “It’s certainly not apparent that the bank or the service station could invoke the Fifth Amendment,” Huebert said. “They certainly can’t invoke his Fifth Amendment rights for him, so that shouldn’t stop the subpoenas against those groups.” Huebert also said subpoenas have been sent to the Mautino campaign fund’s treasurers. Huebert said he does not expect a public hearing in the case for several more months. The Liberty Justice Center is a partner organization to the Illinois Policy Institute, the parent company of Illinois News Network. –Illinois News Network

Rauner, Dems find common ground on package

In a rare instance of bipartisanship, Democrats from the General Assembly are joining Gov. Bruce Rauner to promote a bill that would make it easier for Illinoisans fresh out of prison to get state ID cards. Cabrini Green Legal Aid community organizer Colette Paine, herself a former inmate, said being unable to get an ID card can be what keeps a former prisoner from getting back on his or her feet. “You can’t even get a job and fill out your W-2 forms unless you have an ID or Social Security card,” Paine said. “They may have been homeless. Their documents may be scattered here or there because of a living situation.” Because of that hurdle, Rauner is joining State Sen. Kwame Raoul and State Rep. Mary Flowers, both Chicago Democrats, to pressure the state House to call a bill for a vote this fall that would require the Secretary of State’s office

to issue a state ID card to any former inmates who can produce their birth certificate, Social Security card and two proof-of-address documents, such as utility bills. The office would give temporary IDs to those who couldn’t so they can produce their documents with the help of the Department of Corrections within 90 days, all the while having a way to qualify for things that require state IDs to obtain. “The way it’s set up right now, it’s very difficult for an offender who’s leaving prison to get an ID,” Rauner said. “This shouldn’t be the case.” Flowers said the House reviewed the bill, decided it needed improvement, but felt it still should be allowed to progress. “We know when these people are going to be let out of these facilities,” Flowers said. “We need to have a plan so that they have the necessary papers upon their release.” The bill is stalled in the House Rules

Committee. Rauner said the main goal of the bill is to allow former inmates to reintegrate back into society, not return to prison. The legislation is part of recommendations made by the Commission on Criminal Justice and Sentencing Reform to reduce Illinois’ current prison population by 25 percent by 2025. Legislation that reduces recidivism also reduces costs to the state and taxpayers. “Every act of recidivism – every time someone commits a new crime after they leave prison – costs Illinois an average of $118,000,” Bryant Jackson-Green, a criminal justice policy analyst with the Illinois Policy Institute, said. “So that is financial costs to taxpayers, to courts, prisons, police and so forth.” The bill passed the Senate unanimously in April. –Illinois News Network

Chicago teachers’ strike averted, cost questions linger

A tentative deal reached late on Monday between the Chicago Public Schools and its teachers union averted a strike that had been scheduled for Tuesday but the impact on the district’s already-shaky finances was uncertain. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who controls the nation’s third-largest public school system, agreed to pour more surplus revenue from city development districts into the CPS budget. But it is not clear if the increase to $88 million would be sufficient to fund initial contract terms. The district had included $32.5 million in its current budget. “Chicago Public Schools’ finances will be stronger and on firmer ground because of

this agreement. Parents and taxpayers will be relieved and more importantly reassured that we all came together to work together with a common purpose,” Emanuel told reporters shortly after midnight, which had been the strike deadline. He did not take questions on the deal. The proposal, which still must be ratified by the 28,000-member Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), also raises questions of how CPS will find money in subsequent years of the contract. Chicago schools are grappling with escalating pension payments that will jump to $720.2 million this fiscal year from $676 million in fiscal 2016, as well as credit rat-

ings that have fallen into the junk level. The district, which has nearly 400,000 students, ended fiscal 2016 on June 30 with a $7 million operating deficit, according to a school financial report. The proposed four-year contract, which has a retroactive start of July 1, 2015, was posted on CTU’s website on Tuesday. It commits CPS to continue to cover all but 2 percentage points of the current teachers’ pension contributions of 9 percent, a payment the cash-strapped district had tried to phase out. The so-called 7 percent pension pickup will apply only to educators hired before Jan. 1, 2017. –Wire reports

Renewables continue to see growth By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

he U.S. Department of Energy reported that in 2015 more than two-thirds of the new power generation added to the electric grid came from renewable energy sources. According to an IEA report, for the first time new investments in renewable energy exceeded global growth in electrical demand. Renewable energy installations has been doubling every two to three years. We are at the point where continued renewable energy cost reductions will accelerate the shift to renewable energy. By 2040 Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates 60 percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installed generating capacity will come from wind and solar energy as their costs continue to fall. The cost of onshore wind is expected to fall by 41 percent by 2040 as the capacity of operating turbines continues to improve. A

substantial portion of the growth is expected to come from removing existing wind farm generators and replacing them with fewer, taller, more powerful generators as proposed for Lee County. Solar costs continue their dramatic decline and could emerge as the low cost source of electrical generation in most countries by 2030. While the bulk of solar installations is expected to be utility scale projects, small scale solar systems for homes, schools, government buildings and commercial operations are expected to provide about one-third of the new solar capacity. Even small scale solar system installations are increasing in size. Our first home unit was a 2 kW system while our latest is a 5.2 kW system. We are now hearing of systems of 10 kW, 20 kW and up to 100 kW which reaches the limit of what is considered a small scale system. Bloomberg and others expect battery

storage will become common components of solar installations. Tesla has projected that, if reached, battery costs of 3 cents per kwh by 2020 would make them very appealing for solar electric installations. The growth of renewable energy in the United States has been stimulated by government policies. In Illinois, a state rebate along with net metering by participating utilities provided the initial incentives to install solar systems. The 2006 federal solar investment tax credit for residential and commercial properties contributed to a 76 percent compounded rate of growth in installations. Its extension through 2023 ensures a market so that companies will feel secure in making long term investments in solar to implement improvements in the technology and lower costs. With the tax credit in place the Solar Energy Industries Association estimates that cumulative solar energy capacity

could reach 100 gigawatts by 2020 from the 27GW installed by the end of 2015. Over the same period projected jobs in the industry would increase from 210,000 to 420,000. Despite continued declines in the cost of solar systems and batteries, the projected rate of growth in the industry could be slowed by utility backlash against solar rooftop installations. Any policy changes affecting rooftop solar installations could slow their rate of installation. While some uncertainties remain regarding policies impacting rooftop installations, many businesses are moving ahead with plans to install them. As Jeremy Leggett recently pointed out, over 600 international and multinational companies have signed on to the 100 percent renewable energy campaign. One of the latest to sign on is Apple.

Activists arrested trying to shut pipelines

By Nia Williams Reuters

CALGARY, Alberta – Several climate-change activists were arrested on Tuesday after they attempted to shut five oil pipelines from Canada that can carry nearly 15 percent of daily U.S. consumption, in the latest move by environmental groups to disrupt movement of oil across North America to heighten awareness of the dangers of pollution. Protesters in Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota and Washington state were arrested after turning off valves on pipelines that flow from Canada’s oil sands into the United States, said Climate Direct Action. The activist group also posted videos online showing the protesters breaking chains and turning the valves. It did not say how many people had been arrested and no confirmation was immediately available from police in the localities involved. In a press release, the group said it had attempted to shut the pipelines in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, which has been protesting the construction of a $3.7 billion pipeline carrying oil from North Dakota to the U.S. Gulf Coast over fears of potential damage to sacred land and water supplies. “We are acting in response to this catastrophe we are facing,” Afrin Sopariwala, a

spokeswoman for the group, told Reuters. Together, the lines impacted can carry up to 2.8 million barrels of oil a day, equivalent to about 15 percent of daily U.S. petroleum consumption. The incident is the latest in a series of actions by environmentalists and others in response to growing concern over the effects of fossil-fuel productionontheenvironment and the potential effects on land and livelihoods of spills. Sopariwala said protesters shut down the pipelines between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. by manually shutting off valves. In some places they had to cut chains to reach the valves. She said the group had spent months researching how to safely shut down the pipelines. Enbridge Inc said that it temporarily shut its Line 4 and 67 pipelines at its valve site in Leonard, Minnesota, but that there would be no effect on deliveries. The company said in a statement the activists “are inviting an environmental incident” and endangering public safety. Spectra Energy, one of four companies said to be affected, said trespassers had tampered with a valve on its Express Pipeline in Montana and it had shut the line down as a precaution. It later said it was taking steps to restart it. The other pipelines claimed

to have been shut in are TransCanada’s Keystone pipeline and Kinder Morgan’s TransMountain pipeline. TransCanada said its Keystone pipeline in North Dakota was shut down temporarily as a precaution after protesters tried to disrupt it. Kinder Morgan confirmed trespassers broke into a location of one of its two Trans Mountain feeder lines in Washington state but it was not operating that part of the pipeline at the time and no product was re-

leased. The company said the line has since reopened and deliveries on Trans Mountain were not affected. In January Enbridge was forcedtoshutacrudepipelinein Ontario,Canada,afteraprotester tampered with a valve station, while in December the company turned off another line in the province of Quebec for several hours after activists chained themselves to equipment. The most notable protest has been against construction of the 1,100 mile Dakota Access

pipeline, a project spearheaded by Energy Transfer Partners that would carry oil from North Dakota’s Bakken shale play into Texas. Construction of one section in North Dakota has been halted after protests and lobbying of the Obama administration. Permitting on that line is still under review and protests have continued. On Monday, 27 people were arrested in North Dakota including actress Shailene Woodley, who narrated her arrest on Facebook Live.

All Tuesday’s protesters and their support crews have been arrested, Sopariwala said, with police turning up 20 to 90 minutes after the valves were turned. Carl Weimer, executive director at the industry watchdog Pipeline Safety Trust, said the action was a “dangerous stunt”. “Closing valves on major pipelines can have unexpected consequences endangering people and the environment. We do not support this type of action,” he said.

Local

Company found liable for Green River dumping VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY U.S. District Judge Sara Darrow ruled last week that defendants Ballegeer Excavation, David Ballegeer, Ballegeer Trucking and Francis Ballegeer violated the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) by dumping thousands of tons of concrete waste into and on the banks of more than a mile of the Green River, a tributary to the Rock River in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. In some places along the river, chunks of concrete waste were piled more than five feet deep, transforming the riverbank into a concrete wasteland, as video and images collected in 2012 showed. The court ruled in favor of plaintiffs Quad Cities Waterkeeper and Prairie Rivers Network who filed the suit under the citizen suit provision of the Clean Water Act. The plaintiffs were represented by Earthrise Law Center of Lewis and Clark Law School and Illinois attorney Albert Ettinger, who argued that the defendants had illegally destroyed valuable river habitat by dumping concrete waste onto the banks of and into the Green River. The concrete waste was generated from the defendants’ trucking and excavation business. The court rejected the defendants’ claims and those of the local U.S. Army Corps office that the massive concrete dump constituted maintenance of a levee and was thus exempt from the Clean Water Act. The court’s ruling that maintenance of an otherwise illegal levee is not exempt from Clean Water Act requirements sets an important precedent with national implications. An earlier ruling in the case was equally important as it clarified the public’s right of access to Illinois Rivers for recreation. The Green River flows around 90 miles from Lee County through Whiteside, Bureau and Henry counties before ending at the Rock River in Colona, east of the Quad Cities. “It has been an incredible fight, but this decision makes clear that no one is above the law and that we are past the time when you can dump concrete on over a mile of a beautiful river and get away with it,” says Art Norris, Executive Director of Quad Cities Waterkeeper. “The Green River has huge value to so many people in our region and is so important for fish and other aquatic

species that we could not sit by as the state of Illinois and Army Corps of Engineers refused to enforce one our most basic river protection laws: the Clean Water Act.” “This case has taken several years and a huge amount of resources to stop the destructive actions of some rogue players. It’s unfortunate the state of Illinois and the Army Corps of Engineers did not step in and enforce our pollution laws,” says Kim Knowles with Prairie Rivers Network. “We’re hopeful the ruling will deter other would-be polluters while encouraging our public agencies to uphold the Clean Water Act. We’ll also be glad to see the Green River restored.” Kevin Cassidy, lead counsel on the case with Earthrise Law Center agreed. “We look forward to the next stage of litigation, which will address how the defendants will have to restore this important public resource and hopefully return it to a condition the people of Illinois can be proud of.” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President of Waterkeeper Alliance, which includes more than 300 Waterkeeper Organizations and Affiliates focused on protecting water quality worldwide, said that this legal victory follows a familiar theme. “Across the United States and the world, we see the agencies that are supposed to be enforcing our most basic clean water laws often do not have the political will to do so,” says Kennedy. “That is why it is so important to have groups like Quad Cities Waterkeeper that are not only willing to investigate and document violations like the concrete dumping that occurred on the Green River in Illinois but also take the legal action needed to hold the violators accountable and fix the problem.” –Prairie Rivers Network

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.

RRI with Dirty Look Drive By’s Paul Church By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

Rockford Rocked Interview: You’re a classic rock guy like me. What is about the raw sound of guitars and amps that makes it so difficult for guys like us to get away from? Paul Church: That’s a great question. It’s hard to pick one single factor really, I remember hearing The Raspberries’ “Go All the Way” with the power chord guitar intro and the 4/4 drum beat when I was like five years old and it instantly grabbed me. Also there is something soothing and exciting every time you plug a guitar into an amp and dial in that dirty crunch sound and feel the vibration from the amp and the tone wash over you. I’m still chasing the perfect tone. RRI: Is there any new music out there today either on the internet or radio that catches your ear? PC: I really like the Canadian band Zeus. They’ve got this great Badfinger meets Queen meets Supergrass sound. I’m still a fan of Wilco too and Blackberry Smoke are great. RRI: Your new band is called Dirty Look Drive By. I was able to see one of your shows last month and I have to say I really liked the song selection. Who chooses what songs make it into the set list? PC: We started DLDB to be a 1990s cover band. If you think about it, from 1990 to 1999 there was just this great mix of music. The ‘90s started out with the metal bands still putting out some great records and then out of nowhere grunge kicked the door in and really brought back the straight forward true rock guitar sound. It was like plugging a beat up pawn shop guitar into a Fender amp in your buddies garage or basement, you know? Also around that time MTV’s Unplugged was getting popular so you had people doing some great things with acoustic guitars which I love a lot. All five members bring up songs they want to try and we’ll pick five or six of them and work them out at practice to see which ones are good fits. It’s pretty cool too because someone might bring some obscure, long forgotten but awesome song to the table that maybe I haven’t heard before. Or the other way around. We can’t stop coming up with songs we want to try.

RRI: Who are the members? PC: Well, it’s myself on guitar and some vocals, John Guler on bass and the majority of the vocals, Ray Aukes on keyboards and horn, Mike Ashley on lead guitar and of course Mr. Pat Clark on drums. RRI: You and drummer Pat Clark have been banging it out around the area in bands for years. There must be some artistic chemistry there? PC: Absolutely! I’ve been playing music with Pat off and on for almost 25 years now. Wow, just saying that makes me feel old (laughs). But yeah, there is definitely a naturalness to our playing together. Plus he was the first guy I saw that actually tuned his drums. Very early on he stopped a song at practice to tell me I was out of tune! The audacity (laughs). But seriously, we click well and Pat is a very talented drummer and songwriter. He continues to impress me to this day. RRI: The band seems to be more song orientated than most of the local bands I’m used to seeing. It appears that you guys actually put the time and effort in to work out vocal harmonies and stay true to the original recording. Thoughts? PC: Well first off thank you. Yeah, I just love hearing harmonies from a live band. We worked really hard on harmonies in my former band No Dice. We always got a lot of compliments and we ended up getting pretty good at it. I guess it naturally carried over into other music projects we’ve done since. But again, with Pat and me in the new band we just picked up where we left off before. And John is a great singer so it’s easy and rewarding when you nail a harmony part, it really adds so much to a song. And as far as staying true to the song, I’ve always tried to do that. It makes it easier and more enjoyable for the audience I believe when they hear you cover a song pretty close to the original recording. It tends to draw them in. RRI: What are your thoughts on some of the cookie cutter “create a star” shows like American Idol and America’s Got Talent? Have they helped or hurt the industry and some of the artists/songwriters that helped build it in the first place? PC: Don’t even get me started on that. I was

amazed and depressed every time I heard that American Idol was returning for another season (laughs). It was a popularity contest for the record labels and songwriters. The winner was a guaranteed sell for the record he/she would put out. The ‘winner’ of the show would go into the studio and lay down their karaoke vocal to an already recorded song and then smile pretty for the album cover. Record labels: 1 Struggling talented artists: 0. I’d rather watch cartoons. RRI: If you were banished to a deserted island and could only take one album with you what would it be and why? PC: Man, I always hate these questions because it’s really hard to pick. I could think about it for a month and change my mind several times. However, one record always makes it into my top three everything and that would be Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti. First of all it’s a two record set so you’ve got double the music. I think some of Jimmy Page’s best, creative music is on there. Everyone is playing in top form. RRI: What is your favorite Saturday night album? Something you would put on to get ready for a gig? PC: Hmmm, I would have to say either The Black Crowes By Your Side album or their Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. Mark Ford and Rich Robinson kick ass! The songs “Horsehead” and “Sting Me” make you want to play guitar, hands down! RRI: Who would win in a guitar war B.B. King or Eddie Van Halen? PC: Well, it would certainly hurt a lot more to be hit with Eddies guitar vs. B.B’s hollow body. Not to mention Eddie has the obvious

advantage since we lost B.B. this last year. Seriously though, after months of waging war I think they would have to draw a truce. B.B. is by far the master of the clean, bluesy bend. I recently picked up Live From Cook County Jail from 1972 and it’s just great. He really cuts loose on that record. Some great, play along licks on there. And then Eddie? Well, Eddie is the man. He basically invented the hammer on as we know it today. He made kids want to learn how to play guitar again in the late ‘70s and ‘80s. They are both winners in my history book. RRI: Favorite place around town to relax with a basket of chicken wings and a cold beer or beverage of your choice? PC: Rocky’s in Loves Park is always my go to bar for anything. But I do enjoy the wings at Cronies a lot. Mary’s Place has a great beer selection too. It would be between Rocky’s and Mary’s Place. RRI: Where can we find out more about Dirty Look Drive By and keep track of upcoming shows? PC: For the time you can get our schedule on our Facebook page, Dirty Look Drive By. Hopefully we’ll set up another avenue for people to check in on upcoming news, pictures and shows. RRI: And finally, what do you call someone who hates operas? PC: I give up. RRI: An operator! Get it? “opera hater”? PC: (laughs) I love it! Kind of like “Why did the drummer keep knocking?” Because he didn’t know when to come in! Get it? It’s funny because it’s true.

isaster films of late tend to be soulless spectacles that throw our everyday man into a CGI-fueled catastrophe. The results are headache-inducing as our eyes struggle to make sense of the mess on screen as pixelated explosions burst forth for our entertainment. Deepwater Horizon may be categorized in the same genre, but it offers something different with one key ingredient in that it’s based on a true story. In 2010 the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded releasing thousands of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico. Lives were lost and those responsible weren’t held accountable in what was the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The rig is semi-submersible and located miles from the coast. There’s nowhere to run and director Peter Berg highlights this with sweeping shots of the ocean, exposing the vast nothingness and emphasizing how small the rig is in the aquatic world. The script is a pressure pot that slowly boils until the fateful event. Unlike more preposterous disaster films, there’s no fun

(Mark Wahlberg) is our family man looking to survive. An instant hero who saves colleagues from disaster as he promises he’ll see his wife again. It’s a necessary trope but it does little to elevate the stakes. Wahlberg is fine in the role and the ensemble cast boasts great talent such as Kurt Russell and John Malkovich, both actors delivering fine performances. Like most disaster films the draw is going to be the devastation. Berg is restrained in his portrayal of the event and is careful not to be exploitative of the situation. The aftermath inserts the emotion the film was missing with the credit sequence underlining with exclamation marks why you should leave the cinema with rage and not relief. This was a man-made tragedy that the filmmakers clarify could’ve been avoided. They aren’t slow to point the finger at those responsible, even if the technical language is lost on you, it’s crystal clear as to who is to blame and as to why. It’ll make you angry and fearful that history could repeat itself as it isn’t apparent that any lessons have been learned.

Goodman’s Wonderful Town simply wonderful By Bill Beard Contributor

oodman has done it again! It has delivered another “oldie but goodie”! Two years ago I raved about their revival of Brigadoon, rarely produced, but a brilliant restoration and revitalization of a beautiful traditional musical, Learner and Lowe’s first big hit. Director/Choreographer Rachel Rockwell did a magnificent job of reviving the authentic lyricism and romance of the original 1947 hit and the 1954 film. Now, the award-winning Mary Zimmerman has given us a “wonderful” adaptation of another vintage gem, Leonard Bernstein’s 1953 classic Wonderful Town, “a song-and-dance filled ode to New York City”. From the promo notes: “Powered by Bernstein, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, this whimsical love letter to Manhattan finds Ruth, an aspiring journalist, and her sister Eileen, a bombshell actress, leaving Ohio determined to conquer New York City. Roughing it in a dingy Manhattan basement apartment isn’t quite how the sisters imagined living, but they can’t resist the city’s bustling energy and soon find their professional and romantic hopes coming true. Chock-full of swinging show tunes and spectacular choreography, Wonderful Town captures the thrill of chasing one’s dreams like no other musical.” Director Zimmerman has been a major force with The Goodman for more than 20 years; she has contributed greatly to this theatre’s reputation, national and international, as a consistently innovative, experimental, chance-taking leader in the forefront of American theatre. Her own personal eclecticism, with an absolutely splendid spectrum of dramatic challenges, is unmatchable. Wonderful Town seems completely out of place in her repertoire, except for her 2010 production of Candide, which of course was Bernstein’s magnificent musical adaptation of Voltaire’s epic satire. [By the by, her Candide was splendid and won her Jeff Award nominations

for both adaptation and direction. I reviewed it and loved it. Google Curtain up with Bunbury.] As usual, Ms. Zimmerman has assembled a distinctive cast of individuals. The most obvious choice was Lauren Molina, having done a marvelous Cunagunda in Candide for Zimmerman, and who exhibits the same delightful charm here in the role of Eileen, with an “… impish allure, a mischievous energy that invokes amusement and joy…” as I described her in Candide. Her marvelous coloratura voice is at its best in “A Little Bit of Love” and of course with Ruth in the harmony of the familiar “Ohio”. But for the other leading roles, Ms. Zimmerman has reached beyond the expected casting; and sought…. and found…. the unusual, but spot-on types for the other major characters. For example, one might expect the role of Robert Baker to be played by the usual handsome leading man sort; but here we find the strong acting of Karl Hamilton with a powerful voice suitable for such former roles in The Most Happy Fella and The Christmas Schooner, and therefore handling this show’s lovely ballads, “It’s Love” and “A Quiet Girl”, with ease and assurance, while also exhibiting command of the comic elements of numbers like “What A Waste” with the men’s ensemble.

Another perfect casting put the amazing Wade Elkins in as Frank Lippencott, the Walgreens clerk pursuing Eileen’s favor. Elkins is one of those innately blessed comedic geniuses with a combination of instinctive clown sensibility and a tall, lanky pretzel body to express it all. He is able to create a consistently comic character while just avoiding caricature chaos. But certainly the most brilliant piece of intuitive casting was that of Bri Sudia in the lead role of Ruth. This character is most associated with the inimitable styling of Rosalind Russell, who created the role in the original 1942 movie, My Sister Eileen, and reprised it again in 1953 for the then new hit Broadway musical, Wonderful Town (559 performances, 5 Tony Awards). Since then, the role of Ruth has usually fallen into that Roz Russell style. But Ms. Sudia brings an entirely new and different Ruth to life; and she is fantastic. Her Ruth is certainly not the pretty young innocent ingenue like Eileen; she is also not the typical elegant, effervescent Roz type either. Ms. Sudia plays Ruth with a dry, droll, almost acerbic dead pan veneer, with a devilishly spicy ready wit beneath, which works perfectly for the many zingers in the script (from the original book by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov). The

best example of her comedic style is perfectly displayed in her show stopping “One Hundred Easy Ways (to lose a man)”. This woman is a “mistress of comedy”! Believe me, this is a Ruth you’ve not met before, and the role which will put Bri Sudia on your “must see in whatever she’s starring in” list. Of course, Bernstein’s music is terrific. Vocally, the cast is uniformly top notch, and finds every nuance, from raucous fun to poignant drama. The orchestra under Ben Johnson is exceptional, which is a must for this score; their handling of the very traditional Overture was superb. Kudoes to several other “special performers in special roles”: Jordan Brown and Kristin Villanueva as Ruth and Eileen’s neighbors, Wreck, the brain-challenged ex-football player, and his devoted squeeze, Helen, who are “shacked up” next door and want to get married. But they must hide it all from Helen’s up-tight mother, played brilliantly by Amy J. Carle. The three comprise a frenetic hide-and-seek trio. Add to the mix Matt DeCaro as flea-bag land lord, Appopulous, with an uncredited man-size hilarious cockroach; Christina Hall as Violet, the former tenant whose Johns keep trying to “patronize” Eileen and Ruth; and Steven Strafford as slimy Chick

Clark, a questionable Editor interested in Ruth’s writing, but only if she includes him in her next seamy plot. The resulting events make for a fun evening. If the whole recipe sounds like a nutty fruitcake, it is. But Director Zimmerman serves it up like a gourmet dessert. Her concept of carefully controlled cartoon is splendidly developed and only rarely approaches the saccharine or the syrupy, and never tastes over-baked. The absolutely ingenious set designs by Tony Award winning Todd Rosenthal supply a solid two-dimensional foundation for the whole production, with cardboard cutouts of skyscrapers, large white fluffy clouds and tiny jet planes moving across the blue cyclorama. Miniature super-fast trains speed across the front of the floor of the stage, and tiny taxi cabs go flying across attached to skate boards manned by shadowed riders. This ingenious, imaginative treatment creates the perfect setting for Zimmerman’s concept. We accept the ‘largerthan-life’ world of this wonderful town peopled with eccentric but lovable characters, almost caricatures, but not quite cartoonish. The choreography by the talented Alex Sanchez covers the full range, from the famous conga with a crew of Brazilian sailors, to a ‘River dance’ with Eileen and her friendly Irish cops, to Ruth’s finally letting loose with “Swing”, the song and the dance. Nota Bona: And let me bring special attention to the choreographic use of one very versatile dancer, one Nathaniel Braga, who uses an explosive combination of gymnastic agility, derring-do and just plain good fun to add spectacular feats to some already stunning dancing. Bravo. Obviously, I highly recommend seeing this production. This is a marvelous old “chestnut” of a musical. You won’t see it often. And Goodman is always an absolutely dependable theatre adventure. Wonderful Town has now been extended through October 23. Phone 312-443-3800, or go online at GoodmanTheatre.org/ WonderfulTown.

Commentary Letters to the Editor

A not so Great railroad plan

The privately funded railroad that is projected to run from Indiana, through Illinois, and up to Milton , Wisconsin is still being considered even though the proposed path up through Boone County was defeated. The newly proposed path is shown to go west of Rockford and Rockton and into Wisconsin. The rail line is to be privately owned by big investors, (as yet unnamed), and can best be described as a toll road for trains. The managing partner, Frank Patton, states that it will save time in getting trains through the Chicago bottleneck. It is highly likely and believed by many to be routing oil and hazardous material through the countryside. It should be noted that “ Mr. Patton, the chief promoter has no experience with the most complex transportation system in the world, America’s rail network, according to Great Lakes Basin Rail: News and Views newspaper”. One has to question the probability of success if the promoters have no experience in the rail business. The rail corridor is to be 200 feet wide and includes a 50 foot wide area for future use for pipe lines, utility company use, or other profit generating means for the rail line investors. The length of the corridor has been quoted as being 244 miles, 278 miles and 260 miles. Every mile taken represents 24 acres of land taken from current owners and about 6,000 acres in total, gone. Kankakee County is opposing this venture in part because a rail port or yard taking up 15,000 acres is proposed by the promoters. Up to 110 trains per day are projected to run on this line. This means that a train will pass by every 15 minutes. Planned speed is 70 miles per hour on a one percent grade and 1 to 3 degree turns. This means filling in wetlands near rivers and impounding water. To achieve the 70 mile per hour speed, many roads will have to be terminated at the rail line. Some of our farmland floods frequently and this will slow receding water and delay field work. Farm fields will be bisected, homes and buildings will have to be moved and some fields will be too small for present day equipment to farm. Our farm is located

necessary. He always had the interests of the citizens of Machesney Park on his mind. I believe that John Cabello has carried that interest over to his role as State Representative. John Cabello believes in people and he works hard to make sure that we have a voice in the often turbulent debates in Springfield. Please join me in voting for John Cabello for State Representative. Lori Mitchell Machesney Park

Vote for Tricia Sweeney less than a mile from the proposed route which would have 3 road crossings: Meridian road, Moody Road and Rockton Road, all within approximately one half mile. My understanding is that a Federal Quick Take eminent domain action does not allow or require any local government approval . It has been requested that a new comment period to the Surface Transportation Board be opened since a new route has been proposed. If granted, property owners and concerned citizens need to provide written comments to this board. Promoters claim that they will pay $20,000 per acre for land and grant free electricity to affected houses adjacent to the purchased land. If Federal eminent domain laws are used, you must sell your land and by law they can only pay fair market value. Illinois has some of the most productive farmland in the United States. We can’t afford to continually remove this land from agricultural production if we expect to feed an ever growing population. Various groups lament the near extinction of snail darter fish, a desert rat, spotted owl, and other fauna. Where are they when it comes to protecting farmland? By what logic can billionaire investors be granted approval by our Federal Government for this privately owned rail line that takes land owned for generations of families and creates financial and emotional hardship for them.

The online comment appears to be still active. Please submit comments either online at stb.dot.gov/Ect1/ecorrespondence.nsf/ incoming?OpenForm or mail to Dave Navecky, Surface Transportation Board, Docket No. FD 35952, 395 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20423-0001. Last week, over 400 people attended an informational meeting at the Rockton Township Offices to hear speakers and pick up information on this project. Two more meetings are scheduled over the next week: 11 a.m. this Thursday at Rowly Farm, Cunningham Road in Winnebago; and 7 p.m. next Thursday, Oct. 18 at the Winnebago High School gym. Dean G.

Retain John Cabello

I am writing today in support of John Cabello for State Representative. I have known John since his days as a member of a commission in Machesney Park. John also participated in our Build Machesney Roads campaign that has provided needed funding to maintain and improve village roads. John Cabello was also a very thoughtful member of the commission. He would review the material and ask questions when

I am a community activist for mental health, and I support Tricia Sweeney for State Representative, 68th House District. Funding for mental health services has reached a critically low level in Illinois. The most vulnerable among us are struggling. State Rep. John Cabello says the right things, but he does not vote to fund. He consistently says that we don’t have the money. Allowing people with schizophrenia, bipolar, depression and other mental illnesses to go without treatment is financially irresponsible and unethical. Our police officers are spending too much time being case managers. Jails and prisons provide the least effective, most expensive, services. This is stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime. Tricia Sweeney looks at this issue differently. “Mental health services have been hit hard because we do not have a state budget. We cannot accept the status quo,” she says. “Budgets are always limited. We must prioritize human services demonstrated to make a difference: early childhood education, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services.” Let’s stop the current dysfunction in Springfield. It’s time for a new voice – on Nov. 8 vote for Tricia Sweeney for State Representative of the 68th House District. Robin Garvey Rockford

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: Mercury entered Libra October 7 and will remain there until October 24. Libra complements Mercury, supporting communication and partnerships during this lunar cycle. The only downside is it can make it difficult to make a decision. It can be easier to see the other person’s point of view with this planetary climate in motion (as long as you you avoid talking politics). Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You’re walking away from an individual or a situation that no longer serves you at this time. This opens doors for new opportunities to arrive in the upcoming winter months. Midweek you rid yourself of annoying tasks that have been weighing heavily on your mind with ease. That way, your weekend is clear for unexpected adventures as they arrive, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Legal documents and paperwork may become a sore subject for you or a loved one during this lunar cycle. Take this in stride, one step at a time, and you will find that the outcome is much better than you may have anticipated. Travel and finances are highlighted, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — It appears that a past love has some regrets about decisions they’ve made regarding you. Keep in mind that you may not be able to rekindle this aspect, too much damage may have been done to rectify now. Finances are so dynamic at this time, expect to catch up with old debt and see clear to your longterm goals and desires now, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Your trusting nature may be tested at this time. You may feel as though you should have a heartto-heart talk with a friend or loved one. This may not be the best time to try to resolve this situation. You may be put on the grill so to speak for your heartfelt thoughts. However, you can advise another to avoid the negative talk; what we bring voice to has a direct effect on our emotions, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — A little rest and relaxation never hurt anyone. Make sure you’re taking a little downtime to recoup in between your hectic schedule during this lunar cycle. Romantic opportunities are evident, but not quite ready to manifest yet. Trust that the universe knows when the time is right, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Try to be conscious of how you speak to others during this time frame. If you become too aggressive you may end up on the outside looking in. Count to 10 before you approach an intimate matter. A sensitive individual may be out of your life for good if you push them too far. Pay close attention to your vehicle at this

time as well. You don’t need an unexpected expense now, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Business can be a bit demanding early on this week, yet there are significant improvements that arrive as a result of it. An impromptu gathering will provide you with new connections for love as well as business. Make sure you are stepping out there and accepting invitations to socialize this now. Be cautious of the neck and back during this time. You cannot afford to be laid up with this hectic schedule arriving, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — A call from a prospective employer may arrive during this lunar cycle putting you in a perfect position to make fabulous choices. A long-standing friend or romantic partner can offer some wise advice regarding your personal connections at this time. Be open and allow those around you to provide you with insight. If you can take a time out to digest all of the information, a solution to a long-standing problem will arrive shortly, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Finances continue to improve during this lunar cycle. New clients or business opportunities are abundant now. Be conscious of your health during this time and make sure you’re getting the rest you need to keep up this hectic pace. Romance could use a little kick-start, this weekend provides the perfect

emotional climate to rejuvenate it, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You will be celebrating the good fortunes of your family or a loved one this week. You know deep down in your heart that you will get your turn, this way you’re practicing for your own positive outcome. Those that cannot support the achievements of others will not progress at this time. Protect your friends and family from those who want to put a negative spin on their lives. You will see this come full circle shortly, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You will need to take some time off here soon just to do nothing. Your schedule is overwhelmed with conflicting responsibilities and you feel guilty for not accomplishing each task. Go easy on yourself, trust that it will all get done and count the money on the way to the bank. This is an extremely positive financial time frame; take advantage of this element now, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Expansion with business as well as a creative project will receive the green light during this time frame. Positive individuals of like mind will encourage your every move. Down the road you will be able to enlighten them with gifted contacts as well. This will allow the pay it forward element to become very active in your life, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. This week in my office I met 3 new people that were diagnosed with cancer. Each one amazingly said the same thing “It certainly does not look like we are winning the war on cancer”. I told them no we are not. My statistics show that now 1 out of every 2 people get cancer. I truly remember President Nixon declaring a war on cancer. It certainly did not work. The top 5 deadly cancers in my opinion are all caused by lifestyle choices and pollutants. Pollutants in our soils, plastics, pesticides, hormones, foods and the list goes on and on. So here are my thoughts. • Breast Cancer: Excess estrogen in our foods, plastics and believe it or not doctors still putting people on estrogen hormones without even testing their estrogen numbers. • Ovarian/Prostate Cancer: The plastics, hormones and drugs that are given to us without again checking our hormone panel. • Colon/Rectal Cancer: Our soil which affect our foods with all the pollutes of pesticides, hormones, GMO’s, and just eating dead processed foods that stay in our gut and creates a toxic mess. Not enough live foods. Not enough probiotics. Not enough fermented foods. • Pancreatic Cancer: This is due to all the sugars that we consume and foods that turn into sugars. Do you know that RDA for men of carbohydrates is 150 grams a day? No

wonder there is so much diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. • Lung/Bronchial Cancer: Our air quality. Just watch the weather channel and look at our air quality. I am sure you are asking “what can we do?” Be smart and eat the foods that God gave us. The way you live each day with proper food choices allows you to have a better quality of life. Make good food choices, drink enough water, get enough sleep and take care of your body. Our bodies do not have replacement parts so if the pancreas starts to go awry you cannot just replace it like the spark plug in your car. You need to do detoxes. You need to do cleanses. You need to do tune ups every 3 months to your temple as you do for your car. If you know that you have a history of certain genetic diseases, you need to support that organ and give it the food that God has created. I personally have so much cancer in my family and it is all due to my body making too much estrogen. Some people make too much cholesterol, I personally make too much estrogen so I am personally pulling my estrogen out. Know your weak link, strengthen it and be in charge of your life. Julia Michniewicz is a breast cancer survivor who personally did not do chemical therapy or radiation. You may reach her in her Rockford office at 815-962-3326.

Mr. Green Car

Understanding the basics of auto aerodynamics By Allen Penticoff Contributor

have been an “airplane nut” since first grade. I drew pictures of airplanes then, and throughout my school years I did any project possible from book reports to science fair projects on things to do with airplanes. Part of this fascination involved the study of aerodynamics. Aerodynamics is the science of air flowing over objects; not just airplanes, but cars, trucks, bicycles and even humans in motion. Objects cause resistance to air passing over or around them, whether the object is stationary and the wind is in motion, or if the object itself is moving through the air. All objects offer some resistance to passing through air, some more so than others. When the air passing over the object becomes turbulent, this creates “drag”. Drag is a measurable resistance to airflow. Many factors affect how much drag an object creates, none more so than its shape. A smooth tapered object has less drag while a boxy shaped object has more drag – considerably more. Compare a bird to a camping trailer. It takes energy to put an object in motion and overcome the force of drag. And the faster you go, the more drag there is. Drag

increases at the square of the doubling of velocity. Fancy language, so here are simple numbers to explain. If your car’s drag at 30 mph is 100 pounds – at 60 mph drag will be 10,000 pounds! These are not actual drag numbers, but it illustrates the point that the faster you go, the more energy it takes (horsepower) and fuel/electricity that needs to be consumed to create that energy. Since rolling resistance and other efficiency factors come into play as well, a steady 45 miles per hour is the most efficient speed for most vehicles. For automakers, to get cars to meet new fuel efficiency standards, many of the increases in mpg come in the form of improved aerodynamics. There is a number than holds constant for any shape, and that is its coefficient of drag (Cd). While rarely shown in automakers brochures, some auto magazines doing in-depth reviews will reveal a vehicle’s Cd – the lower the Cd, the less drag or resistance it has. Some examples: Tesla S and Toyota Prius (gen 4) have a Cd of .24. A boxy Jeep Wrangler has more than double the drag with a Cd of .58. A person sitting upright riding a bicycle has a Cd of 1.0, while the fastest human, Usain Bolt, has a Cd of 1.2. This is why running or riding a bike into the wind takes so much more effort – we are not very

AUTO CLUB OF AMERICA, BE REWARDED RATHER THAN SLAPPED IN THE FACE. WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN NOW...

An ACA membership is simple and has real value: •

We get you back on the road or we tow you to the nearest

aerodynamic. Racing bicyclists do everything they can to reduce their Cd since the amount of energy they can produce for long periods is very limited. Smoothness of the object’s surface has an effect on drag. So airplanes have smooth wings and ski jumpers have smooth tight suits. For vehicles, the air passing under the car or truck, through the radiator and around the engine all create drag too. To this end, manufacturers limit the size of the radiator and put “air dams” under the front bumper to deflect the air around – and kill aerodynamic lift, which itself causes drag. Electric cars, lacking many of the

components that create aerodynamic drag are easier to push through the air – thus increasing their efficiency. When it comes to increased efficiency, reducing drag is nearly free compared to making a more efficient drivetrain. Big and boxy have been an American standard for a long time – yes our boxy square vehicles offer more room and carrying capacity but the price is fuel consumption, imported oil, and air pollution. In the next Mr. Green Car I’ll take a look at what got me started on this topic – having seen a very streamlined camping trailer – the trailer of my aerodynamic dreams.

Celebrating farm to school month

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

October represents National Farm to School month set forth by the USDA and the Farm to School Network. During this month long celebration, schools around the United States are engaged in teaching students where their food comes from, how it is grown, how agriculture serves their cafeteria, and learning about the science involved in agriculture. There is some debate as to what Farm to School actually means. In essence, it’s an effort to try to better connect schools with farms and agriculture. Each school and/or school system might see this different. For some schools, it means creating school gardens where students can be active in growing produce and classes can use a school garden to teach science. There are some schools in the Rockford area which highlight local/ seasonal foods in the cafeteria either once a week or a vegetable/fruit of the month. Still yet, there are high school agricultural programs that have been engaged in farm to school education for decades. Many of these programs may be teaching students how to

grow their own produce and sell directly to consumers. Farm to school isn’t strictly for one age group over another. In the Midwest region, schools are connected with the National Farm to School program in what is known as the Great Lakes Apple Crunch. On Thursday, October 13, students at participating schools will all “crunch” into apples grown in the local area. There are some Rockford area schools that will be participating in this event. If you are interested in bringing to farm to school efforts to a school you are connected with, it begins with assembling a team that can champion momentum towards including more local foods in the cafeteria, starting a school garden, or determining new goals for an already successful program. These teams include teachers, school administrators, Extension, and others who can assist in bringing projects to a school. As we celebrate National Farm to School month this October, consider how you can engage with a school in your area. Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

MLB Postseason

Cubs fight back, slay Giants in 4 By Cat Garcia

<<< Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta rounds third after his three-run home run gave his team the early lead in Game 3 Monday night in San Francisco. The Giants would claw back to topple the Cubs in 13 innings before Chicago would finish off the NLDS with a ninth inning comeback in Game 4. @Cubs

Contributor

he Chicago Cubs took a 2-0 series lead to San Francisco on Monday night. They looked set to be scrambling for Game 5 on Thursday before a ninth inning rally gave them a 3-1 series win over the Giants. The energy in Wrigleyville was electric on Friday evening as the Cubs got their postseason underway, hosting the San Francisco Giants for game one of the NLDS. Friday evening saw the Cubs challenged by the craftiness of Giants right-hander Johnny Cueto, who struck out ten Cubs batters while allowing just three hits before Javier Baez gave the Cubs a sign of life again in the eighth inning. Baez deposited a one out, 3-2 fastball off Cueto into the left field bleachers basket, sending Wrigley Field into a piercing eruption of joy. Cubs ace starter Jon Lester impressed the Wrigley faithful on Friday evening as well, throwing eight strong innings, striking out five and allowing no runs before closer Aroldis Chapman took over for him in the ninth. After allowing a two-out double to Giants catcher Buster Posey for a slight scare, Chapman locked down the W for the North siders giving them a 1-0 series lead. However, the pent up apprehension that was saved by Baez on Friday evening spilled over into Wrigleyville on Saturday as the Cubs had a quick scare when Kyle Hendricks took a screeching liner off the bat of Angel Pagan to the forearm. Hendricks promptly exited the game and was replaced by pitcher Travis Wood, who did the honors of saving the North side’s sanity by becoming the first relief pitcher

since 1924 to hit a home run in a postseason game, propelling the Cubs to a 5-2 lead in the fourth inning. Hendricks’ x-rays returned negative, and he is currently dayto-day, but should be available for the next series. Former Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija

made his return to the mound at Wrigley Field for the Giants, and was quickly lit up by the Cubs offense. Samardzija was removed after just two innings, and allowed four earned runs off of six hits. Nothing can match the drama that ensued during the Cubs first road game of the postseason though, a 13 inning, five-hour contest at AT&T Park that saw a bevy of excitement and lasted till just past 2am CT. It began as the type of matchup that makes the postseason as exciting as it is, with notorious October hero Bumgarner facing Cubs ace Arrieta. The Cubs managed to expose Bumgarner’s human side quickly though, knocking him out of the game after just five innings of work and 101 pitches. Arrieta went six strong innings allowing just two earned runs with five strikeouts. But once the marquee pitchers duel ended was when the real mayhem began. Closer Aroldis Chapman came in during the eighth inning to attempt a six out save, including the heart of the Giants lineup. After a quick strikeout of Hunter Pence, Chapman gave up a rocket for a triple off non other than recent October hero Conor

Gillaspie. Gillaspie batted in two runners and gave the Giants the 4-3 lead in the eighth, and promptly after, Brandon Crawford would bloop a single off of Chapman to score Gillaspie and give the Giants a 5-3 lead. For Cubs fans, the lingering apprehension quickly returned as the hopes of an NLDS sweep were quickly dashed. All was not lost though. In the top of the ninth inning, Kris Bryant hit the reset button on an already long and tiresome evening by launching a two-run home run into the stands at AT&T Park to tie the game at 5-5. After a quick outing for reliever Justin Grimm, long arm Mike Montgomery became the seventh pitcher to enter the game for the Cubs, working for the remaining four frames that would span across 13 innings before giving up a double to Joe Panik to score the Giants winning run and preserve their postseason hopes. Come Game 4, John Lackey took the mound for the Cubs in an effort to spare a return flight to Chicago for both teams. But he was chased after just four innings of work, giving up three earned runs. The Cubs worked it back to a 3-2 mark before Justin Grimm replaced Lackey in the fifth, but the bleeding didn’t stop as the reliever notched just a single out before exiting with the Northsiders down 5-2. Giants starter Matt Moore lasted through the eighth, saving a tired Giants bullpen from another lengthy shift. But five Giants pitchers in the top of the ninth could not stop the Cubs from recording the largest comeback in the MLB playoffs since 1986. The best team in baseball this season scored four runs before Chapman came on to work a scoreless ninth, giving the Cubs the game and the series. The Cubs win will take on either the Washington Nationals or Los Angeles Dodgers beginning Saturday. Game 5 of the NLDS between the Dodgers and Nationals will be on FS1, Thursday at 4 p.m. The NLCS starts Saturday at Wrigley Field.

Given how lineup decisions and general injuries have this season turned up on it’s head, one would have to be the second coming of Nostradamus to figure what’s in store in for Chicago following their 29-23 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Bears themselves seem to have no semblance of foresight. You start with a skeleton of a defense that while mustering up five sacks against Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, couldn’t maintain consistent pressure. Outside linebacker Willie Young enjoyed padding his own season statistics with three of those sacks. Taking a glance at the box score would tell you the defense threw Luck off of rhythm and disrupted the passing attack. Indianapolis was only 3/12 on third down, way beyond any quality efficiency. But those three conversions were each on third and long as Luck routinely sidestepped Bears rushers finding receivers down field. While the Bears brought Luck down thanks to the league’s worst offensive line, they didn’t make him feel uncomfortable. The Luck-T.Y Hilton combination burned Chicago to the tune of 171 yards. There was never a moment where you felt like Luck would make a mistake. When you go 28/39 with 322 yards and two touchdowns, it’s fair to label a perfect day for a generational quarterback. With a better pass rush, maybe Hilton doesn’t burn the inexperienced Jacoby Glenn on the game-winning touchdown, as perhaps, Luck never delivers the ball on time. This is where Chicago would have been served to mix up coverages, send different looks and blitzes to rattle their largest obstacle. While three of Chicago’s top four pass rushers are currently sidelined in Pernell McPhee, Leonard Floyd, and Lamarr Houston, it’s no excuse for a four-man pass rush to be non-existent. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio – considered a defensive savant – has worked wonders with his severely hobbled unit. After all, coming in, somehow Chicago had a top 10 passing defense (Luck inflated those numbers). But it doesn’t

mean there shouldn’t be a concerted plan to fix one of the team’s primary flaws. Whatever stunts and schemes Fangio is trying aren’t working. The case here is both of being stubborn with game-planning and not having enough capable impact talent. The latter isn’t the fault of the genius. The former is. Young echoed the same sentiment when asked if the pass rush mustered enough: “No – because we didn’t win.” At least Chicago understands its problems defensively. A boost of a healthy Floyd and the imminent return of McPhee – last season’s most dynamic defensive player – could prove to be the straw that stirs the drink. Offensively, the Bears have now put up over 400 yards of offense – a sparkling 522 on Sunday – in two consecutive weeks, but there couldn’t be any more questions. Unlike Chicago’s defense, the attack has a full compliment of players sans the injured second-year receiver Kevin White. The offensive line is intact and has only allowed two sacks in three weeks. Rookie tailback Jordan Howard picked up his second consecutive 100-yard rushing day. And back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer continues to spread the ball around to the likes of Eddie Royal, Zach Miller, Cameron Meredith, and on the rare occasion, the Bears’ best player in Alshon Jeffery. And yet, for all of the efficiency Hoyer has displayed in filling in for the injured Jay Cutler, he hasn’t pushed the ball down field enough or had the most explosive player involved in the way he should be. Each of the past three weeks has had Jeffery be just third on the team in targets, with Sunday pushing him to number four-receiver status. For one of the NFL’s top talents to be receiving less looks than the adequate Royal and Miller, speaks volumes of a flawed prerogative. Often times, you forget Jeffery is on the field and wonder if he’s hurt or injured. Hoyer’s presence of mind to not go towards Jeffery has translated to just 22 measly total targets in five weeks for the pending unrestricted free agent. It’s not ideal in any sense of the word to have your best player be so limited as a

non-factor almost by choice, but it’s easy to understand. Hoyer isn’t going to be a guy that can test the field vertically. Most of Chicago’s successful passing attack recently has derived from short to intermediate quick timing routes with Hoyer making quick decisions often on his first or second read. Jeffery is more of a possession receiver often with the coverage and attention rolled over to his side of the field. That requires confidence and a stronger arm for a number one option – something Hoyer does not possess. Still, it doesn’t excuse Chicago for throwing a fade route in the red zone to a 5-foot-9 receiver in Royal instead of one of football’s best jump-ball artists in Jeffery. It doesn’t excuse Hoyer not even looking Jeffery’s way on the game’s final play where film revealed Jeffery to come wide open in the end zone as Hoyer forced a ball into the sunlight to Meredith. When asked about that fateful final play that ended in Jeffery waving his arms in frustration and slamming his helmet on the sideline, Hoyer called it, “A play you’d like to have back.” While you can blame Hoyer for not going through his progressions, at least appreciate his honesty in defeat. Head coach John Fox on the other hand, continues to cast everything in doubt, sticking to a theme of confusion. His defiance only creates more questions. “I think when you’re out there playing quarterback, it looks a little different than when you’re up in the press box having hot dogs”, said a slightly testy Fox to reporters on Monday. When further pressed on the status of Cutler and the difference between him and Hoyer, Fox admitted, “we don’t have a plan” and clarified or lack thereof; “Moving forward, I can’t predict the future.” A quarterback controversy is not the brunt of the Bears’ issues, but something is amiss when you have the NFL’s second best offense yardage-wise over three weeks and are scoring only 17 points a game – well below the league average. If Cutler receives anything close to the protection and running game over

the past month, you better believe that Chicago has more points. You better believe Cutler looks toward Jeffery with the game on the line. Fox clearly prefers Hoyer out there as he’s less mistake prone in playing not to lose as his defense can win him the game. It’s a conservative mindset. But when the defense is in shambles, how can you expect them to push for victory? How can you then expect Hoyer to win a shootout against the likes of someone like Luck? You can’t. With this season transitioning towards a focus on developing young players as the Bears are mired in last place, Fox should be prepared to defend this illogical hill as the heat grows. There won’t be a long string on this outfoxing much longer.

Week 6 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Jacksonville was one of the league’s most hyped teams in the preseason. Many thought they were on the brink of contention in a weak AFC South. An early 1-3 record says the franchise isn’t progressing towards that direction at all. When the Bears are on defense: Quarterback Blake Bortles was supposed to take the next step in vaulting Jacksonville towards a bright future. Every bit of hope rested on the 6-foot-4 24-year-old. His third season was to be a coming out party. It hasn’t worked out in that fashion. The Jaguars are last in the league offensively, and are scoring just 21 points a game – good for 19th. An inefficient Bortles who boasts a mediocre 79.4 passer rating through one month would be the guy to blame here. Bortles greatly struggles with putting the ball on target consistently and often airmails his receivers altogether. This is a quarterback who relies on his athleticism instead of technique, instead of letting his athletic ability compliment his technique like any franchise passer. Jacksonville has plenty of explosive targets on offense in receivers Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson, as well as tight end Julius Thomas. But they can’t reach whatever their potential is if Bortles can’t deliver them the ball. Chicago has an opportunity

to scheme around coverages and show more exotic looks to an inaccurate player who doesn’t go through his progressions. Bortles is closer to mediocrity than anything Andrew Luck is. This is not the kind of player that elevates his teammate’s level of play. With corner Deiondre’ Hall back in the fold, Chicago will have a full stock in it’s secondary ready to make plays on mistimed Bortles throws. Bortles is tied for fifth in the league in interceptions after all. You can bait and switch often to fool like a quarterback like him, forcing plenty of mistakes and turnovers. A gunslinger without success presents an opportunity for Chicago to be a little more opportunistic in giving the ball back to their offense. When the Bears are on offense: There’s no reason for the Bears to change anything they’ve been doing with Hoyer or whoever’s under center. While Jacksonville currently has the league’s 11th ranked defense DVOA-wise, this is a hardly a team you can trust to stop an offense on a consistent basis. Provided Chicago continues to concentrate on feeding the ball to Howard and the offensive line keeps the quarterback clean, the Bears should put up enough points to allow the defense to close the Jaguars offense out. If Hoyer is again the starter, don’t expect Jeffery to get the ball with stalwart rookie corner Jalen Ramsey likely shadowing him. With a player like Ramsey, the Bears are actually better served spreading the ball around in the fashion they have. If Cutler plays, there’s no reason they wouldn’t test Ramsey, but even that’s playing a dangerous game. Play within the confines of what you’ve done well, and you’ll be in position to win. This won’t be a shootout or pretty by any means whatsoever. Bortles isn’t capable of doing that. The Jaguars and Bears themselves aren’t capable of putting on those kinds of fireworks. Grind it out, maintain possession, and the conservative Fox mindset may work on this rare instance. Early pick: Bears 20 Jaguars 16.

Blackhawks back in action tonight By Adam Hess Contributor

ith the Chicago Blackhawks season set to begin on Wednesday night at the United Center, when the Hawks will welcome Central Division rival St. Louis to the Windy City, all eyes now turn from the preseason and which players have a shot at making the team to the team before them. The 2016-17 edition of the Blackhawks will feature more new faces than years past, presenting a lot of intrigue. Young players like Nick Schmaltz, Tyler Motte, and Gustav Forsling are extremely talented and put on very impressive performances in the preseason, which is why they are here in the first place. However, the question remains if their skills will translate to regular season NHL play. Another major question mark for the Hawks this year will be the play of Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane, and if these two elite NHL forwards can put on similar displays to their 2015-16 campaigns. Kane led the league in points en route to being named league MVP, while Panarin finished 9th in points and was named Rookie of the Year.

Playing at the same high level this season could prove to be a difficult task for these players, despite their elite talent level. As fans, expecting these two to be at the same level as last season is certainly setting the bar too high. If you expect 180 points between these two again this season, you’re doomed to be disappointed. However, they are still likely to be the Hawks two best forwards yet again this year, so a repeat of last year is not out of the question. Meanwhile, Marian Hossa and Brent Seabrook are two veterans who are in major need of a bounceback season after they posted largely disappointing seasons in 2015-16. Seabrook found the scoresheet quite a bit, but his overall play fell off in a major way last year. Hossa shot at a career low percentage en route to just 14 goals. These two fan favorites are definitely due to rebound, and if they can do that, the Hawks will be much better off. Still, even with the talent the Blackhawks have on their roster, they’re still firmly the third best team in the Central Division behind Nashville and Dallas. If those two teams can overcome questionable goaltending, they should have no problem con-

they will ultimately bow out to Nashville in the second round after a seven-game series. The Predators will go on to defeat the Washington Capitals for the Stanley Cup. Follow Adam on Twitter: @_adamhess.
