Trailing in opinion polls, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has asked his campaign to cut back on work identifying candidates for key jobs in his would-be administration and focus instead on bolstering his chances on Election Day, according to two people familiar with the campaign’s inner workings. After months of bitter battling, Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, has a commanding lead in the race to win the Electoral College and claim the U.S. presidency on Nov. 8, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project results released on Saturday, which mirror other national polls. People working on Trump’s White House transition, which is led by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, have been asked by Trump to narrow down those efforts and refocus on the race, the sources, who asked not to be identified, said Tuesday. They have, as a result, largely set aside efforts to identify candidates for key Cabinet positions, but are continuing work to fill lower-level jobs, such as Securities and Exchange Commission general counsel, that would allow Trump to begin basic work on his agenda if he won on Nov. 8, without worrying about winning political battles first. Members of the transition team are also avoiding providing Trump with updates on the transition work to allow him and the campaign to focus the core of its efforts on improving his chances of winning the election, the sources said. Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned her supporters on Tuesday against complacency as opinion polls show her holding a clear lead over Republican rival Donald Trump with exactly two weeks left until the election. Clinton received a further boost when Colin Powell, who served as Republican President George W. Bush’s secretary of state, said he would vote for her, according to media reports. Clinton told a rally in Florida, one of the battleground states where the election is likely to be decided, that Democrats cannot afford to slacken. “I hope you will come out and vote because it’s going to be a close election. Pay no attention to the polls. Don’t forget, don’t get complacent, because we’ve got to turn people out,” she said in Coconut Creek, standing in front of a large sign reading “Vote Early.” An average of national polls on the RealClearPolitics website since midOctober gives Clinton a lead of more than five percentage points, as Trump fights off accusations that he groped women and faces heavy criticism for suggesting he might not accept the result of the election if he loses. Trump denies the accusations of sexual misconduct and says the election is rigged against him, although he has not cited widely accepted evidence to back that up.

Election 2016 | Energy & Environment
On energy, clashing visions By Valerie Volcovivi & Devika Krishna Kumar Reuters
Forget the accusations of groping, bigotry and email mismanagement. If the American voter had to choose between Republican nominee Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton based on their energy policies alone, the presidential election would still be a remarkable drama, amounting to the biggest referendum on global climate change since the term was coined. How the country decides on Nov. 8 will have far-reaching implications for the price of electricity and gas at the pump, as well as the future of the U.S. energy industry, which employs about 10 million people. Trump’s vision is an America where oil derricks pump furiously again, coal miners get back to work, and the country puts its own economy ahead of foreign nations worried about the effects of fossil fuels on sea levels, droughts, and storms. Clinton sees an America where half a billion solar panels power homes, cars run on electricity, oil use is cut by a third, and the clean energy sector provides a deep well of new jobs supported by government mandates and subsidies. “At a very basic level, it would be a climate vote,” said Sarah Emerson, the head of Energy Security Analysis Inc in Boston. “Do you want fossil fuels, or renewables?”
Make America drill again
Trump has said he wants to unleash aU.S.“energyrevolution”bystreamlining environmental regulation, easing infrastructure permitting and pulling the country out of a global pact to combat climate change – moves he says would promote increased oil and gas drilling and revive the dying coal mining industry without compromising air and water quality. The proposals align neatly with both the Republican Party’s opposition to government overreach, and Trump’s own campaign theme of making “America Great Again” by restoring traditional industries, including many that have been hurt by international trade agreements.
While the plan has earned him some support within an oil and gas industry naturally opposed to regulation, it has also given rise to skepticism among even his closest allies over whether he can deliver. “Obama hasn’t shut down drilling – what has shut down drilling is price,” Texas oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens, a Trump supporter, told Reuters. “I don’t know what Trump can do to help the industry.” A technology-driven drilling boom has pushed U.S. oil and gas production up 70 percent since President Barack Obama took office in 2008, making America the top producer in the world, but it has also triggered a slump in prices as demand has failed to keep up. Oilpricesarerunningatfour-month highs around $50 a barrel after the OPEC cartel signaled in September it may make its first production cut in eight years, but prices remain less than half their levels from mid-2014. While the price crash has been a boon for consumers and energy-intensive businesses, dozens of energy companies have gone bankrupt, putting blue collar workers in the coal mines, shale fields and oil rigs out of work. Critics have said Trump’s plan to revive natural gas drilling would finish off the very coal industry he promises to restore, because the two fuels compete. It would “seem
to defy basic market laws of supply and demand,” said Jason Bordoff, a former energy adviser to Obama. The coal industry, once a large employer in parts of America, now employs less than 60,000 miners. It has become a symbol of Trump’s vow to revive dying industries. Clinton sufferedpoliticaldamagewhenshesaid “we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” Trump’s energy plan would also force the United States to make an abrupt turnabout on the environment: He wants to withdraw from the global climate change pact agreed in Paris last year. He has called climate change a hoax and has argued the Paris deal would cost the U.S. economy trillions of dollars and put it at a disadvantage. Trump wants to rescind the Clean Power Plan to limit carbon output and downgrade the Environmental Protection Agency to a commission, not a cabinet level agency, and refocus it on its “core mission: clean air and clean water for all Americans, regardless of race or income.” An oil industry lobbyist in Washington D.C., who asked not to be named, said that even if Trump’s policies were unlikely to solve the root problem facing the industry right now – the low price of oil and gas – his ideas were still mainly welcomed. “Regulation is a killer, and if it can be streamlined, it helps,” he said.
Trump’s campaign has drawn about $99,000 from employees of the oil and gas industry since July, when he was formally nominated, while Clinton has received about $114,000 from the industry over the same period, according to the latest federal campaign finance disclosures.
Clean energy superpower
Environmentaladvocatesarguethat a failure to agree on strong measures like the Paris accord would doom the world to ever-hotter average temperatures, bringing with them deadlier storms, more frequent droughts and rising sea levels as polar ice caps melt. Clinton says she wants to address that by making America a “clean energy superpower.” Her plan calls for phasing out fossil fuels, embracing clean energy sources like solar and wind, strengthening environmental protections and leading the world in curbing carbon dioxide emissions blamed for climate change. “We can deploy a half a billion more solar panels. We can have enough clean energy to power every home. We can build a new modern electric grid. That’s a lot of jobs. That’s a lot of new economic activity,” Clinton said in the first presidential debate in September. Solar development is aided by a federal tax credit worth 30 percent of the cost of a system. That credit was
set to expire at the end of this year, but received a five-year extension from Congress in late 2015. Even so, the cost of electricity from large-scale solar installations has dropped to a level that is now comparable to natural gas-fired power, even without incentives. Clinton has also signaled increased regulation of fracking to prevent water and air pollution, continued support for the Obama administration’s efforts to curb carbon output that would pressure fuels like coal, and a tougher approach to infrastructure permitting. Her approach appears much more likely than Trump’s to lift consumer prices for gasoline, heating oil, and electricity, given that increased regulation typically increases costs of production, many analysts said. Still, Clinton will likely face stiff resistance from U.S. Congress - if Republicans retain control of one or both houses. She could follow in Obama’s footsteps by relying on executive orders to implement her agenda, but opponents would almost certainly challenge her in the courts. Jay Faison, a North Carolina entrepreneur who calls himself a conservative advocate for clean energy, agrees with the need for more lower-carbon sources of energy, but says Trump’s plans to cut regulation could provide a more effective way to get there. They could potentially make it easier to build nuclear power plants and hydro-electric dams, which produce no carbon dioxide, for example. Environmentalists, who have helped mobilize mass protests against energy infrastructure projects during Obama’s presidency, hate Trump’s proposals. But they are also suspicious of Clinton. She promoted fracking technology to European allies while America’s top diplomat to help them reduce their dependence on Russia, according to leaked diplomatic cables, and was slow to oppose the Keystone XL pipeline proposal that would have piped in more oil sands from Alberta to U.S. refineries. “It’s a shame that were going to have to spend four or eight years pressuring her at every turn but we will,” said Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, which advocates a complete halt to fossil fuels development.

U of I News Bureau Business and Law Editor
John W. Kindt, an emeritus professor of business and legal policy at the University of Illinois, is aleadingnationalgamblingcriticwhohastestified before Congress and the Illinois state Legislature aboutthesocietal,businessandeconomicimpacts of decriminalizing gambling. Kindt is the senior editor of the book “The Gambling Threat to EconomiesandFinancialSystems:InternetGambling.” He spoke with University of Illinois News Bureau business and law editor Phil Ciciora about the expansion of video gambling in Illinois, which has mushroomed to over 24,000 machines operating in more than 5,600 establishments throughout the state. According to the Illinois Gaming Board, video gambling has generated more than $811 million in state and local tax revenue since the first machines were legalized for widespread use four years ago. In a state starved for new tax revenue, what’s so bad about video gambling? And what’s not to like about additional tax revenue? The state of Illinois has more electronic gambling devices than Nevada. Think about that for a second. But the worst part is that Illinois has one of the lowest, if not the lowest, tax rates on video gambling machines. Under the 2009 Video Gaming Act, the machines’ owners and operators take 70 percent of the revenues, while the state treasury receives only 25 percent and local governments only 5 percent. So state coffers may have been fattened by $811 million during that four-year period, but the owners and operators walked away with $2 billion to $2.4 billion, which the state treasury could have and should have received. To extrapolate to another level, those numbers only represent a fraction of the total number of dollars wagered on video gambling machines in
Illinois.Accordingtovideogamingrevenuereports from the Illinois Gaming Board, since September 2012,gamblershavewageredalmost$34billionon videogamblingmachines.Thatistrulyastaggering sum. For context, Illinois’ general funds revenue in fiscal year 2015 totaled $36.6 billion. Basic economic principles dictate that gambling cannibalizes the consumer economy, reduces overall tax revenues and, most importantly, destroys the economic multiplier effect. The nearly $34 billion that was wagered over those four years could have been much more profitably spent in the consumer economy – on houses, automobiles, appliances, food and clothing. From the average consumer’s point of view, gambling is akin to burning money in a fireplace. The state of Illinois needs to become more business friendly, expand its consumer base and grow its economy. Which is why, via new taxes on gambling, it should immediately reclaim the billions of dollars owed to the state by gambling interests. The state’s future policy should be to tax gambling, not people. I think we should follow the Canadian model, in which the government keeps virtually all of the income and only pays management fees to the casino companies. Otherwise, the state Legislature is just giving away billions of dollars to casino companies. What role have the original casino licenses played in this situation? The original 1990 legislation authorizing 10 casinos in Illinois granted casino licensesworth$5 billion at the time ($11 billion in current dollars) to political insiders for only $25,000 per license, including one insider who subsequently went to prison for corruption. Yearslater,despitemultiplewarningsaboutthese giveaways of casino licenses to insiders, two gambling expansion bills vetoed by then-Gov. Patrick
Quinn raised these license fees to only $100,000 each – when their Wall Street values were and are hundredsofmillionsofdollars.Insubsequentgaming expansion bills in 2013 and 2014, the Illinois Legislature again pegged the value of those casino gambling licenses at only $100,000 per license. In 2003, financial expert Jeffrey Hooke of the Maryland Tax Foundation briefed the Illinois Legislature on the value of Illinois casino licenses. He cited numerous examples, including a 2002 offer of $615 million by MGM-Mirage Corp. for the Rosemont license; an offer of $750 million by the Illinois Argosy group for a suburban Cincinnati riverboat license; and a $660 million offer for a Detroit casino license. The bottom line: Whether we like gambling or not, the state of Illinois is seriously undervaluing its casino licenses. It’s tantamount to a $7 billion to $14 billion giveaway to casino companies and gambling interests. In addition, the low tax rates on Illinois casinos since 1990 have resulted in more giveaways of $25 billion to $100 billion, all of which should have gone to the Illinois treasury. Would a casino change the fortunes of the cash-strapped city of Chicago? Absolutely not. The effect of bringing a casino todowntownChicagowouldbesecondonlytothe Great Chicago Fire of 1871 in terms of damaging the city. Illinois lawmakers envision a Chicago casino as a revenue jackpot, but it ignores the other reality: It could just as easily be a huge bust for the city and taxpayers. Academic studies in the early 1990s concluded that a proposed $2 billion Chicago casino by three gambling companies would be a lose-lose for taxpayers. These rebuffed gambling interests took their sour grapes to Detroit, where they promised to save Detroit’s finances. Instead, in 2013, Detroit became the first major U.S. city to declare bankruptcy.
Next phase underway on Mississippi crossing
CommuterscrossingtheMississippiRiverfrom Savanna to Sabula, Iowa, on the Savanna-Sabula Bridge may see some relief as construction is underway to replace the aging structure. The through-truss-type bridge consists of two narrow 10-foot-wide lanes with no shoulders, an extremely low guard rail and an open-grate deck. Faith Duncan, a project manager for the construction of the new bridge, said many residents are happy to see the old bridge go, especially those who are afraid of heights. The current structure is deficient, Duncan said. “Itisgeometricallydeficient,”Duncansaid.“We talked about the narrow lanes and stuff. It doesn’t meet current policy. Structurally, it is at the end of its useful life.” The bridge was built 84 years ago to accommodate the traffic at the time. “Theexistingstructurewasconstructedin1932, anditwasbuiltasatollbridge,”Duncansaid.“Itwas built by a private firm called the Savanna Sabula
Bridge Company for about $750,000.” Thestructurewentthroughsomemajorrepairs in 1985 and 1999, which was the same year it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In2009,itwasdeterminedthatthebridgerequired further costly repairs, and it was time to replace it. “It was at that time that it was decided we are going ahead and replace the entire structure instead of investing more time and money into something that wasn’t going to extend the life of the bridge,” Duncan said. Duncan,whowasinvolvedinPhaseIandPhase II of the project, said the project is going well. “Right now, it is currently out in Phase III, and Kraemer North America, located out of Plain, Wisconsin, was our low bidder, at $80.6 million,” Duncan said. “That’s to replace the existing structure with a new structure that’s located just about 100 feet south on the Illinois side.” The new bridge will give motorists more room
to breathe and should be completed by 2018. “Thenewstructurewillbeatied-archstructure,” Duncansaid.“ThoseareprettycommoninIllinois. It will consist of two 12-foot lanes and two 8-foot shoulders, which is significantly wider than the two 10-foot lanes that are there today.” No more open-grate decks, Duncan said. The 8-foot shoulders will also accommodate bicycles in the area. Theprojectisbeingfundedmostlythroughfederalsupport,withassistancefromIllinoisandIowa. “It is a 90/10 split, which means that 90 percent of our funds came from the feds and 10 percent is state funds,” Duncan said. “That 10 percent is also split between Iowa and Illinois because there is a cost share between the two states to rebuild the bridge.” Duncan added that the new bridge will not be a toll bridge. –Illinois News Network & Staff reports

Installing solar in developing countries By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl
President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association
IREA’s major focus is renewable energy and sustainable living in Illinois but we have installed systems in the developing world on a voluntary basis when outside funding is provided. IREA has sponsored several projects in Central America and is interested in doing more of them. The projects were developed in response to requests from Illinois citizens seeking solar electric services for projects they were involved with in the developing world. We asked Tom De Bates, a PV system installer from Geneva, and a member of Engineers Without Borders, to make a presentation at this year’s Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair on his work with the nonprofit organization. They stress longterm involvements using local materials and labor. His presentation covered five projects in which he worked in the field. One project was the construction of a 45foot clear span bridge across an intermittent stream in Armenta, Honduras. A small con-
struction team was formed which included locals to ensure community support. The bridge took eight days to build. They used local rebar and cement which was mixed on site. When floodwaters returned the bridge withstood the water flow. A second project in Pignon, Haiti, involved IIT college engineering students. PV panels were installed to provide electricity to a local school. Local contacts wanted the panels welding into a steel frame to reduce the risk of theft. Heat from welding could damage the kevlar coating on the PV panels so water soaked rags were put in place to reduce the heat. A third project involved seven engineering students from NIU in Nyegina, Tanzania. Solar materials were available from a store 40 miles away. Given existing road conditions numerous flat tires occurred and it took two days to secure the supplies. Two 100-watt modules with battery storage were installed to provide early morning and late afternoon lighting for the school. A 12-volt DC outlet was included to allow charging cell phones. The fourth project in Quetzal, Mexico,
involved installing a ram pump which lifts water from a flowing stream to a higher elevation into a storage reservoir. It works slowly without electricity and relies on hydraulic principles to lift the water. It took nine months to fill. A PV powered aeration pump was also installed to control algal growth. The water is used to irrigate a small farm operation and has a separate 600-liter water storage tank for human consumption. It is filled using a PV power pump that automatically shuts off when the tank is full. The fifth is an ongoing project in Tanami, Guatemala, involving multiple sites. It can only by reached by boat which could

Frank Schier’s fight against cancer
L
ast week, we told you about the illness that has struck our longtime Editor and Publisher, Frank Schier. This week, we’re publishing some of the best letters and notes we’ve received about a man who has played such a prominent and colorful part in the past three-plus decades of Rockford’s history. ••• Whether one agrees or disagrees with what appears on the pages of The Rock River Times or agrees with Frank Schier’s viewpoints, Frank’s unwavering support of the arts, the environment, renewable energy, and holding elected officials and government accountable are unmatched in the Rockford region. Frank’s many gifts to the community – notably The Rock River Times locally owned and operated newspaper and the Rock River Trail Initiative and National Water Trail designation – should be celebrated and cherished. Now, more than ever, the community should rally behind these efforts to ensure they long endure. The Rock River Times remains the largest independently owned weekly newspaper in the state. The independent voice provided by the publication is a rare and fragile commodity in today’s world of corporate media domination. As the former senior assistant editor of The Rock River Times for more than a decade, I know well the sacrifices many have made – most notably Frank – to
this hard time.
–Jessica Muse
Frank... we planned (as long as we did it your way, it was perfect), we fought (you won), we drank (too much perhaps), you may have even irritated me (maybe once), but love you anyway. Get this fixed so we can do it all again! –Jan Herbert
keep this independent voice alive. It has taken a tremendous amount of courage and resilience. Please do not let Frank’s efforts or the efforts of his staff be in vain. Support Frank, The Rock River Times and the Rock River Trail in any way you can – by saying a prayer for Frank or sending him your well wishes, or attending the upcoming benefit, or picking up the newspaper each week, or making a donation to or purchasing an ad in The Rock River Times. Such an investment is one of the best that can be made in the Rockford community. Thanks for your efforts, Frank, and best wishes. I still believe you will outlive the rest of us, but if that somehow turns out not to be the case, you can know your
legacy will live on in those of us who have known you, worked beside you or read your words. –Brandon Reid, former Senior Assistant Editor, The Rock River Times Frank is an awesome individual that reports the truth. It has been an honor working with him over the years. I hope he makes a speedy recovery. Our country needs more people like Frank too tell and report the truth to the American people. –Art Norris, Quad Cities Waterkeeper I have always admired The Rock River Times and their willingness to print articles for the little guy. They have some awesome journalists, (freelancers) and articles. May God and family
guide you through this difficult journey. –JoAnn Hudson
my faith. See you at Thanksgiving, brother. –Thomas Bauschke
You have been a good friend and elbow rubber for more than 30 years, let’s not let a little bump in the road slow us down. Love to you and keep fighting the good fight. Get well my friend. –Jim McDowell
It’s been a decade since I lived in Rockford and last saw you, Frank. For that brief period of time living in the loft about TRRT, I loved our conversations which almost always centered around music and politics. Wishing you all the best in the battle ahead. Like you would with a question-evading politician, give this health challenge Hell. –Jason Christensen
I helped Frank start the paper. Those were some very long days, but Frank had a vision for an honest newspaper. He has a big heart and an ego to match (well deserved). Keep up the fight Frank, can’t let a little thing like cancer bring you down. My mom beat it twice and is still with us, so there is always hope. Somehow I always thought you to be immortal, beyond us mere mortals. You have all
As a former TRRT staffer, this saddens me immensely. Frank was wonderful to me during the summer I was on staff, and was a fantastic mentor in my early career. All of my best wishes and love go out to Frank during
Here all along I thought I was your only friend the “Knucklehead”. Now I realize that I am only one of all the many people who have counted on you to tell us the truth, even when we didn’t want to hear it. I Promise I won’t tell the story about our first meeting ever again as long as you stay alive and keep up with your so important position in this community. Rockford is so in need of truth tellers and you are our premier version. Thanks for all of the times making me feel insignificant and unimportant. I know that was your way of saying, “I love you LaLoggia.” Get better fast and get back to work. –Michael LaLoggia You were so supportive of the arts organizations and artists in the area when I was dwelling in Rockford and I will always be grateful for the letter of support you wrote for me in TRRT. I wish I could return the favor and heal you with my medical superpowers, but alas I just went to art school so all I can offer you is positive, healing thoughts from Florida! –Scott Snyder

COMMUNITY RAMP greatly appreciates the support received from the Freeport Community Foundation, granting RAMP and the Freeport School District the opportunity to re-introduce RAMP’s Youth Curriculums into the Freeport School District. RAMP’s Youth Programs include three distinct curriculums: iBelong, Ignite and Teens In Transition (T’NT). • iBelong is a disability awareness curriculum that fosters an awareness of disabilities and issues facing individuals with disabilities that is taught in general education classrooms in grade Pre-K through sixth. • Ignite is designed to teach adolescents and young adults with disabilities the skills necessary to become active participants in designing their futures. The program actively builds the mindset and skills necessary for students to become self-advocates in a variety of settings including their IEP and Transition Plan meetings. • T’NT is designed to prepare young adults with disabilities to become employed, independent members of their communities. The curriculum actively engages students in a variety of topics including: post-secondary education, job training, soft skill development, mock interviews, financial literacy, and accessing community resources. Part of what makes this new collaboration with the Freeport School District so exciting is the fact that the youth curriculums actually began in the Freeport School District over a decade ago. At that time, RAMP was successfully collaborating with the Freeport School District on other projects and wanted to ex-
pand on that partnership in an effort to serve more students with disabilities in the Freeport community. Thus, began the evolution of the T’NT program. The program was delivered to Freeport High School students every other week for a year with RAMP and certified FSD staff co-facilitating lessons that prepared Freeport students for a successful transition from high school to independent living. Fast forward to 2016, this program has expanded to a full continuum of youth services that reach students grades Pre-Kindergarten through high school and is offered in each of the four counties RAMP serves. Unfortunately, these programs were no longer being offered in the Freeport School District, until now. The generous grant from the Freeport Community Foundation makes a renewed partnership between RAMP and the Freeport School District possible. This collaboration will allow us to showcase how much these programs have evolved and demonstrate the impact they have for students with and without disabilities. RAMP is thankful for the support from the Freeport Community Foundation and thrilled to bring our expanded programs back to where they were originally conceived. If you are interested in learning more about RAMP’s Youth Curriculums, please contact Jennifer Stitt, Youth Services Manager, jstitt@ rampcil.org. RAMP empowers individuals with disabilities through services and advocacy to live an independent life. We accomplish this by partnering with them to make changes in their own lives, seek peer support and remove barriers. RAMP advocates for the implementation of current laws, promotion of needed legislation and improvement of existing systems for individuals with disabilities while working to diminish negative attitudes that threaten to impede equal access. The Mission of the Freeport Community Foundation is to help provide for the well-being of the citizens of Northwest Illinois by

Burpee 75th anniversary exhibit opens
Burpee Museum of Natural History will host the grand opening of the Rediscover Burpee exhibit in the Woodward Hall on Friday, November 11. The exhibit will run through mid-April 2017. The new exhibit celebrates the 75 year history of Burpee Museum and is an opportunity for the community to rediscover the treasure trove of artifacts, specimens, and memorabilia in the museum collection alongside newly developed exhibits. Visitors will go back in time to see what makes Burpee Museum a local treasure and unique among the country’s best natural history museums. The three-part exhibit will also highlight the work of Edward Curtis, a world famous ethnographer from Wisconsin known for his sepia-toned photographic images of Native Americans. The display will be complemented by many seldom seen Native American artifacts from the Burpee collection. The third segment of the exhibit is a unique array of wildlife from around the world. “Go Wild” is a wildlife conservation exhibit that depicts some amazing animals in lifelike settings. One of the highlights is the return of the crocodile. This gigantic specimen was a museum favorite in the Barnes Mansion for many years. In addition, the museum will display the artwork of a renowned local nature photographer, David Olson. Come and experience the new exhibits at Burpee. Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday. During the time the 75th Anniversary exhibit is up, Museum admission will be $10
for Adults (13 and older), $9 for children (4-12), children 3 and younger are free. For more information visit burpee.org. –Burpee Museum of Natural History
‘Spook the Blocks’ trickor-treating comes to downtown, Saturday
The River District Association (RDA) announces a fun filled, family friendly trickor-treating event in downtown Rockford. Playing on the popular Shop the Blocks events of the past two summers this year it will be called “Spook the Blocks.” On Saturday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. we’re calling all princesses and fairies, all ghosts and goblins, all super heroes and super villains. Halloween is almost here and trick-or-treating is in the air! This free event encourages everyone to dress up and come downtown for an evening of strolling, or spooking, our blocks while visiting restaurants, shops and galleries for a treat. Costumes are encouraged! “During last year’s event there was a presence and feeling in downtown Rockford like we haven’t seen in many years when hundreds of kids with their families came to trickor-treat on our blocks,” said Leah Tuneberg, Executive Director. “It’s wonderful when you know you’ve had an impact on creating memories for a child and a tradition for a family. Furthermore, many business owners were pleased with the overwhelming turnout and even commented on how they had to ‘go on a candy run’ multiple times during the event.” Participating businesses will be designated by an orange pumpkin poster in their front window and that is how people will know where the treats are! We ask that children be accompanied by an adult/parent or guardian at all times! Don’t forget to tell your friends & family. A sample list of participants is available at riverdistrict.com. –River District Association Voices of the Community continues on Page 13 >>>

Top of Illinois Veterans Stand Down, Friday
The Top of Illinois Veterans Stand Down, for area veterans and their immediate families, will be held at the UAW Hall, 112 N. Second Street, on Friday from 9-3 p.m. Stand Down is a military term referring to a brief respite from combat. Many dedicated local service providers, volunteers, military service organizations, community-based organizations and representatives from city, county, state and federal agencies will be available to assist our nation’s veterans. Assistance will be provided to homeless veterans and veterans needing assistance in the areas of health, counseling, employment and vocational rehabilitation counseling and assistance with VA claims. Veterans Assistance from Winnebago and Boone counties and the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs will be offering counseling. New underwear, socks and personal hygiene items will be available to registered veterans as well as well as free “New to you” jackets, coats,
sweaters, blue jeans, gloves, hats, scarves, sweatpants and shirts, shoes and boots. The Winnebago County Health Department will be offering free blood pressure checks and flu shots and free haircuts will be provided by area professionals. Coffee and a professionally prepared hot meal will be served at noon. Veterans and their immediate families are invited to attend this free event. Veterans are required to bring proof of their military service, preferably their DD-214 or VA I.D. card and a photo I.D. (driver’s license or state I.D.) Also on Friday, Rockford area veterans with valid service identification will be able to enjoy a free ride on Rockford Mass Transit between the hours of 8 a.m.-5 p.m. It is RMTD’s hope that the free rides will eliminate any transportation barriers and enable every veteran to participate in this event. The UAW Hall is directly accessible via several RMTD routes including #11 East State Street, #12 Charles Street and the outbound #14 7th Street route. However all routes are free to veterans with appropriate service ID that day. Veterans riding the RMTD system between 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on the day of the event, need only board the bus and present their military ID cards to the driver. –Ron Sodko

Practices Award from the Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD). BFPD accepted the award on October 21 at the Best of the Best Awards Gala at the Wheeling Park District’s Chevy Chase Country Club in Wheeling. The IAPD Best Green Practices Award is presented to a park district, forest preserve, conservation, recreation or special recreation agency that has taken the initiative to incorporate and encourage environmentally-friendly business practices and policies. Winning organizations have demonstrated practices that could include recycling and solid waste reduction; education and advocacy; conscientious purchasing, green buildings; and energy and materials conservation. “We are proud to be recognized by the IAPD for our organization’s green practices,” said Todd Tucker, Executive Director at BFPD. “We are dedicated to preserving the open spaces and natural resources in our region and this recognition is a great honor and a sentiment to our commitment.” The BFPD has implemented several initiatives over the last five years that have helped with energy efficiency. At PrairieView Golf Club, hand watering practices and the reduction of “mowed space” has led to 25 percent less water usage. In addition, PrairieView changed-over its fleet of 80 golf carts from gas to all electric carts which has reduced noise, air pollution and the need for fossil fuel. The Keller Education Center, which houses the district’s 85 student preschool education program, is a 2013 Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building with wind turbines, solar panels, a geothermal well and many other energy conservation features. Students at the preschool use iPads and a Smartboard to reduce paper consumption in the classroom. The Jarrett Prairie Center which houses the district’s administrative offices and newly renovated Natural History Museum has had roof-top solar panels for more than ten years which have saved thousands of tax payer dollars in reduced energy cost.

CASA needs volunteers
As a member of the CASA board, I would like to urge you to consider becoming a CASA volunteer, and I would like to let you know about an exciting event we are hosting. CASA serves the children of Lee, Ogle, and Carroll Counties. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are trained individuals that are appointed by a Judge to speak for the best interests of a child in court. These children are at risk due to abuse and neglect in situations they do not deserve to be in. A CASA volunteer provides a Judge with factual information regarding the child to help the court make positive decisions for the child’s future. As you can imagine, our CASA board is working hard to keep a balanced budget. Throughout the year we hold many fundraisers to keep help fund the CASA program. On Saturday November 5, we are hosting a Dueling Pianos event at the LaBranche in Polo. All tip proceeds will go to CASA. It’s a fun, entertaining night.

Amy Rigby... and why you should know her By Michael Whyte Guest Contributor
‘I
’m driving past a field of red poppies, hiding my left arm from the sun…” That could be the opening line from a novel, novella or short story, the sort of simple, immediate imagery that situates a reader fully in time and place with an author’s protagonist. It is, in fact, the first line from “Time for Me to Come Down”, the lead-off track on Diary of a Mod Housewife, Amy Rigby’s debut solo album, and it perfectly sets up the story that follows, a story that will continue throughout the album’s dozen tracks. Released in 1996 to much critical acclaim (it was voted the #8 best album of the year in the Village Voice’s annual Pazz & Jop critics’ poll), Diary of a Mod Housewife’s status has not diminished with age. The album’s very grounded accounts of a freshly divorced working class mother becoming reacquainted with the world outside marriage are universal enough (and likely autobiographical), but what makes them stick is Rigby’s sharp eye for detail, the emotional complexity of her characters, and the music’s catchy and assured mixture of folk, rock, pop and country influences (Diary... was, in large part, produced by The Cars’ Elliot Easton, and engineered by Brian Wilson’s right-hand man Mark Linett). With her occasionally cracking, vulnerable-yet-determined voice taking the lead, Rigby chronicles the demise of a marriage and its aftermath with unusual depth and candor and a rocking, earthy good humor. The album is a classic, but revisiting the songs can by a bit scary for Rigby: “In some ways I cringe at the rawness of the lyrics and the basicness of the music – I think I’ve written better songs over the years – but the immediacy and sincerity still ring true and for each three minute song I get to feel what it was like to be at that pivotal moment of my life again, the one where I stood alone for the first time.” Born in Pittsburgh, Rigby migrated to New York City in 1976, where she became a regular audience fixture at CBGB and Max’s Kansas City, taking in the many punk, new wave, no-wave and pop bands that were flourishing in Manhattan at the
time. She co-founded the country band The Last Roundup with her brother Michael McMahon, which released one record on the Rounder label, then performed and recorded with The Shams, a post-modern girl group with one album (produced by Patti Smith guitarist Lenny Kaye) and one EP to their credit. It was after her divorce from dB’s drummer Will Rigby that she struck out on the path of a solo career. With a young daughter to raise and a day job in the mix, Rigby chose to accelerate her artistic pursuits at an age when many people are shutting them down to attend to “real life”. As a result, Amy Rigby has more excellent songs to her credit over the course of 20 years and nearly a dozen albums than many far more famous songwriters. From the scruffy glory of “Dancing with Joey Ramone” (a staple on Little Steven’s Underground Garage) to the pop perfection of “All I Want” (covered by Ronnie Spector, with Keith Richards in tow) to the hilariously pointed “Are We Ever Gonna Have Sex Again?”, “Cynically Yours” and “20 Questions”, Rigby has produced as rich a catalog of great songwriting as anyone of her generation. With a stack of rave reviews (The New York Times places her “... up there with the likes of Paul Simon and Randy Newman.”), years of solid touring and recording and appearances on such radio and TV shows as Late Night With Conan O’Brien, World Cafe and Whad’Ya Know, Amy Rigby should be far more widely recognized and appreciated. Even hard-to-please veteran music critic Robert Christgau has called Amy Rigby “One of the great unknown American songwriters”. Difficult to pigeonhole, Rigby’s music shows the influence of late punk pioneer Poly Styrene every bit as much as the confessional singer-songwriters she has been compared to. Throw in a dose of Loretta Lynn and a drop of Dusty Springfield and you have confounded a music biz that runs on easy labeling. There is nothing typical about Amy Rigby, and that’s what makes her great. After a move to Nashville, then France, Rigby has settled into life in rural New York state, where she lives with her husband, British pop legend Wreckless Eric (he of
“Whole Wide World” fame and the same late ‘70s Stiff Records roster that introduced Ian Dury, Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe). The pair has made a handful of records as a duo and have frequently toured together. Her daughter grown and living in the city, and with the music business more daunting than ever, Rigby shows no signs of giving up. “I remember thinking as I approached 30 ‘there’s no way I’ll be going out on tour when I’m...40 years old.’ As if it was a hardship. What did I think I’d be up to by then? Writing, playing and singing is what I do. I feel lucky to be able to get out there, and to know that a song I wrote or record I made is part of somebody’s life.” She has launched a fall and winter solo tour
of the US and UK, and to celebrate its 20th anniversary, she has released Diary of a Mod Housewife for the first time on vinyl. Amy Rigby will be making a stop in Rockford on Sunday for an appearance at Mary’s Place, 602 N. Madison. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Along with songs from Diary of a Mod Housewife, Rigby will be performing selections from her five follow up albums, as well as new songs from her upcoming solo release, set to arrive next year. This is a must-see show!

The Deadersons live on By Paula Hendrickson Contributor
I
f you’re not already familiar with the locally produced sitcom, The Deadersons, you haven’t been playing close attention to the area’s pop culture scene – or this column. If you haven’t yet viewed the show on YouTube, you’re in luck. Season one is coming out on DVD (details below) and Amazon Prime members will soon be able to stream the show free of charge, making The Deadersons an ideal choice for a little Halloween binge viewing. People in the Kenosha, Wisconsin area can even watch The Deadersons the old-fashioned way. On TV. The show now airs twice weekly on Kenosha’s public access TV channel 14 – Fridays at 6 p.m. and Mondays at 3 p.m., according to The Deadersons’ Facebook page. As if that’s not enough, the first two episodes of season two will hit YouTube before election day. The brainchild of Kris Williamson, The Deadersons centers on an undead all-American family living their lives, so to speak, and stars Valerie Meachum and Derek L. Cook as Donna and David Deaderson and Eric Reed and Jennifer Lineus as their teenage kids Donnie and Delia. But did the cast expect this true labor of love to reach beyond YouTube? “I knew they had ambitions for it to go beyond YouTube, but you certainly can’t expect that,” Meachum says, adding, “My brother and his family live in Kenosha, so that part is especially exciting to me!” Cook, who had worked with Williamson on a prior project, knew he wanted to be involved with The Deadersons from the start. “I had always believed in the show so it’s no surprise that we are going to be on TV and Amazon Prime, but what surprised
me the most was how quickly things started to click for us. I had thought it was going to take around three to five seasons before we got traction.” Working on the show is a huge commitment to cast and crew, since most fit it in between day jobs and other acting gigs, yet they relish the opportunity enough to make the show a priority. “I’ve always wanted to be part of an ongoing series, to be able to follow a character through changes in her life over time,” Meachum says. “The idea that there are things happening to Donna now that nobody knew about when I first started

playing with her – it’s just such a unique experience of storytelling.” Cook also enjoys the sense of camaraderie the show brings. “There is a strong feeling of family with the cast & crew,” he says. “When we get together, we have so much fun on set.” Watching all 12 episodes of the first season – and the first two episodes of season two – may leave you wanting more. But the cast isn’t offering any hints about what’s next. “I wish I could tell you! Because that would mean I knew,” Meachum says. “It’s as much an adventure for us as it is for the audience.” My question for local television stations is pretty simple: If an original series produced in
the Rock River Valley area is being broadcast on a TV station in Kenosha, why isn’t it already airing locally – either on a digital substation or a public access Comcast station? It’s time for local broadcasters to step up and support our homegrown talent. You can find The Deadersons on YouTube or buy Season 1 on DVD. Through October 27, you can support season two and preorder your season one DVD here: indiegogo.com/projects/deadersonsseason-1-dvd-pre-order#/. Eventually, the DVDs will be sold at local shops like Culture Shock and Top Cut Comics.

RRI catches up with singer/songwriter Egon Danielson By Thomas Simpson Contributor
E
gon Danielson is a singer/songwriter who cut his teeth here in the Stateline area fronting hard rock bands like Streetlife and others back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. After a lot of hard work, determination and banging it out in night clubs across the Midwest, Egon took a much needed break. Today he’s back at it doing what he loves to do best, this time performing in a scaled down country/folk setting in his new home of Lexington, Kentucky. Rockford Rocked Interview: Good morning Egon. You’re originally from the Janesville, Wisconsin area. How did you find yourself in Lexington, Kentucky playing country music? Egon Danielson: Good morning! Thanks for having me, Todd. I took the long way around. Actually, I was born in Stoughton, Wisconsin, moved to San Diego before I was a year old, then to Rockford from ‘63 until ‘73, Janesville until ‘82, back to San Diego until ‘91, Las Vegas for six months, Tampa for four years, then Lexington. I married a Kentuckian while living in California and eventually moved to Kentucky because she wanted to be close to her family. I came to the music I do now without really thinking about it. It wasn’t a conscious choice at all. I always loved the country/folk based tunes the Stones did, as well as Gram Parsons, Flying Burrito Bros, Neil Young, etc. When I started writing again in the ‘90s I was listening to
alt-country stuff like Steve Earle, Uncle Tupelo, and Son Volt. I don’t ever plan ahead when I write. I just try to open myself up and let it happen naturally. RRI: I understand that the music scene in the Lexington area has just exploded over the last 10 years or so. Have you also been hitting the Nashville circuit? ED: There is a great little scene here. Lots of really great musicians who also happen to be really cool people. Miles Nielsen recorded his last record here at Shangri-La Studio with my good friend Duane Lundy. I did do a little investigating in Nashville early on, but I just couldn’t be a part of that Nash-Vegas music machine. “Real” country music was pretty much dead, and the new stuff was being created in songwriting sweat shops. Not my thing at all. It is getting much better now, thanks to the rise of Americana artists like Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson (both Kentucky guys). There’s lots of great stuff coming out of East Nashville now, so I may get back down that way in the near future. RRI: Let’s back up a bit and talk about how you got into music and songwriting in the first place. How old were you when you realized that you wanted to play music and perform? ED: Man, I think I was born loving music. I used to hide under the covers at night with my little transistor radio and listen to WLS. I was in my first band in third grade. We called ourselves The Time Cycles and tried
really hard to play the songs we heard on the radio. I was making up songs from the start. It seemed easier than figuring out how to play other people’s stuff. RRI: Did you ever have any formal vocal training or lessons of any kind? ED: None. I’m sure it probably would have made me a better singer, but I pretty much always had a punk rock/garage band soul. Just get up there and try to make a cool noise. I never was a very good “singer”, really. I’m always a bit surprised that people want to hear me, but I’m always grateful when they do. RRI: Early on you were in a very popular Rockford area band called Streetlife. It seemed like you guys were playing constantly not only in Rockford but all over the place. You guys had built a huge following in just a short amount of time. Thoughts? ED: Streetlife was a blast, I have to say. Dysfunctional as hell, like any good rock band in the ‘70s, but we put everything we had into our shows and people responded to that. It was loud, fast, and fun. Lee Kelso (who also managed The Names) was managing and booking the band, and he had us touring relentlessly, so we came a long way in a very short time. The risk of that kind of schedule is burn out. Crappy food, long drives, limited sleep, and lots of chemicals take their toll. That was true for me anyway. RRI: During the height of Streetlife’s popularity disco music seemed to have a stronghold on the
music scene everywhere you looked. Were there ever times when club owners would ask you to sneak in a Donna Summer or maybe a Bee Gees song into your set list? ED: A request like that would have been met with sneers and middle fingers. We were definitely on the frontlines in the war on disco (laughs). RRI: You eventually decided that it was time for you to get out of music and the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle altogether. What led you to this decision and were there ever any regrets? ED: Honestly, I was just tired. It’s not an easy lifestyle to maintain. It was tough to quit, though, and there were definitely times when I questioned that decision. I felt like I let people down, the guys in the band as well as the fans, but I was ready for something else. I wouldn’t
Clothing
Jewelry
trade that experience for anything, but it was the right move for me. RRI: When did you realize that you couldn’t live without playing and performing in front of people? ED: I never really stopped. I bought an old Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar and started playing shortly after leaving the band. I wasn’t doing it professionally, but I wrote songs, did occasional gigs, and had a little home studio. Music is and has always been necessary for my mental health. RRI: Tell us about your latest album release, “Raven and the Bluebird”, and where we can find it. ED: I really enjoyed making that record. It’s not perfect, but at some point you have to set it free. I had recorded the demos in my home studio over a period of a couple years. Thanks to MySpace, I hooked up with
333 E. State St.
Minnesota producer and super talented multi-instrumentalist, Andy Dee. Luckily for me, he agreed to produce the record. You can find it on iTunes, as well as CDbaby, Amazon, and others. Just Google me and you’ll find it. My website is under renovation right now, so if someone wanted to buy it directly they can send me a message on my Facebook page. RRI: I understand you had the help of a few industry heavyweights involved with the recording process including Phil Solem of The Rembrandts and John Ely of Asleep at the Wheel. Thoughts? ED: Absolutely! Thanks to Andy and another very talented guy named Chris Zann, who also has connections with the best of the best in the Minnesota area and Nashville, I was able to get these guys on board.

he literary world loves a title that start with “The Girl…” and Hollywood is partial to adapting these. Paul Hawkins debut novel The Girl on the Train debuted at number one on the New York Times Fiction Best Sellers of 2015 so it seemed inevitable that we would see it on the big screen before long. Rachel (Emily Blunt) is an alcoholic divorcee who spends her days traveling the same railway line. The route takes her past her old house where she tortures herself by looking at her ex-husband’s life with his new family. Her attention is drawn to her old neighbors, Megan (Haley Bennet) and Scott (Luke Evans), a seemingly happy couple who look very much in love. When Megan goes missing, Rachel finds herself playing detective as she struggles to piece together the strands of information leading to Megan’s disappearance. Unfortunately for Rachel her tendency to blackout and history of harassment also makes her a suspect. Erin Cressida Wilson’s screenplay is a tight-

Michael Bland, of Prince’s New Power Generation, also played drums on four tunes. Coincidentally, there’s even a Rockford connection there in Randy Sabien, who played fiddle on the Cajun ditty called “Chuchotements de Desire”. I was incredibly lucky to have these folks contributing. RRI: Favorite movie of all time? ED: That’s a tough one. I would have to say Cool Hand Luke. RRI: Best music concert you have ever seen from the audience? ED: Dylan with ‘Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’, is probably my favorite.
ly wound thriller that slowly peels each layer with methodical precision. There is no rush to reveal anything yet the quick pace of the plot keeps us hooked and avoids being drawn out or bogged down with boring exposition. Most things happen for good reason even if it does seem a little silly in the end.
RRI: The last time you were in Janesville and decided that it would be a good idea to stop into that goofy Circus Drive-In restaurant for a burger? ED: The last time I was in Janesville was 1996. I didn’t hit the Circus Drive-In, though maybe I should have (laughs). RRI: Most memorable gig you have ever played? ED: With Streetlife, it would have to be the New Year’s Eve show with Bad Boy at the Electric Ballroom (might have been The Palms by then, I can’t remember) in Milwaukee. It was the first time we were treated like rock stars. Limo, suite
at a fancy hotel, live radio broadcast, the works. The place was sold out, and it felt like we were really going to make it. I’m not sure my feet touched the floor that night. RRI: Favorite Sunday morning album? ED: These days it would be In The Throes by John Moreland. RRI: What’s next for Egon Danielson? ED: I’m getting ready to do another record, with a band this time. The plan is to do a more organic, live in the studio, thing. I’ll be out playing with this crew over the winter, and looking to release sometime next summer if all goes according to plan.
The slightly disjointed structure allows for flashbacks and repeating of scenes with different results. Director Tate Taylor plays with the imagery that compliments Rachel’s flawed memory to tease us with different outcomes. Many red herrings are thrown our way as Rachel’s unreliable narrator creates
incredible tension as it points the finger at half the characters. Blunt excels as Rachel, a fractured performance that leaves her vulnerable due to her alcoholism, sympathetic due to her history but drawing contempt due to her actions. In many ways she is the bridge between Bennett’s seductive and alluring artist and Rebecca Ferguson’s mundane housewife Anna. Rachel often fantasizes about the lives of others while all three women appear to unwillingly reflect each other’s. The third act twist is regrettably very predictable and you may have it sussed from the synopsis alone. There are many twists and turns along the way that although the destination is expected, the journey is fun. Blunt is the clear standout but the rest of the cast deliver solid performances that support the script. The resolution isn’t entirely satisfying, however, The Girl on the Train is a suitable date film that will leave you uncomfortable on more than occasion. Better cuddle in close..

Stage Coach Players present “The Game’s Afoot” - The October live theater offering of Stage Coach Players, Ken Ludwig’s “The Game’s Afoot,” opens with a bang! It was the winner of the 2012 Edgar Award for Best Play from The Mystery Writers of America. This satirical murder/mystery revolves around the life and times of William Gillette, whose pre-Cumberbatch/ Rathbone portrayal of Sherlock Holmes became legendary in the early 20th century. Gillette met Arthur Conan Doyle and instantly became the prototype of Holmes in the author’s opinion and became a very rich man with his theatrical enactments of the great detective. Gillette built a beautiful castle on the Connecticut River and often invited his friends to enjoy weekends at this unique venue and this is where the story, during the 1930’s, takes place. “The Game’s Afoot” opens on October 20; performances are Oct. 20-22 and Oct. 28-29 at 7:30 pm and Oct. 23 & 30 at 2:00 pm at Stage Coach Theater, 126 S.

Commentary
Trump at odds with Rauner’s best laid plans
By Rich Miller Capitol Fax
D
emocratic House candidate John Bartman was appointed to the ballot in July when Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, dropped out of the race to run for McHenry County Board chairman. Bartman is not getting help from the House Democrats, who appear to have all but conceded. Rep. Franks’ district is solidly Republican. President Barack Obama lost it by 8 points four years ago. Franks has been able to win it because, well, he’s Jack Franks. He talks a good Republican line back home and takes some high-profile votes against his own party. Bartman is no Jack Franks. Even so, the Republicans say they want to “drown” any possible chance that Bartman may have, particularly in a year like this. So, they’ve launched a negative cable TV blitz, with similar ads on radio and in the mail. As of October 21, Republican candidate Steven Reick had reported $187,000 in contributions since October 1st, which is about $65,000 more than he and the Republicans spent in this district during the entire third quarter. “You can always judge a person by who their friends are,” the spot begins. “Take John Bartman, a hand-picked 2003 IDOT patronage hire of disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and chosen political tool of Mike Madigan. Under Speaker Madigan’s watchful eye, Barman will be forced to raise your property taxes to fuel more wasteful government spending for his political boss. You pay more and Bartman will side with his boss.” As we’ve discussed before, the Republicans truly believe they have found the magic elixir this year by constantly invoking the horribly unpopular Speaker Madigan’s name. GOP Rep. Dwight Kay, for instance, was quoted in the Belleville News Democrat last week as saying: “The first thing we need to do to get the budget balanced is to see that Mike Madigan goes home.” That’s a pretty tall order, but if it works electorally and the Republicans hold onto
their incumbents like Kay and pick up some Democratic seats, they’ll undoubtedly say that Madigan has become so toxic to his own members that it’s time for him to go. Some of the Republican ads I’ve seen this year mention Madigan’s name even when it’s not particularly relevant to the ads’ messaging. Perhaps the inclusion gives the attack added weight because Madigan is so unpopular. It’s also likely designed to keep the Republican “theme” going regardless of content. But I have also come to suspect it’s being done so they can claim that they used Madigan in almost all of their negative ads and that’s why they prevailed over the Democrats. And, hey, if it doesn’t work, well, just look at Gov. Rauner’s comments throughout the summer and fall for a preview of what they’ll say the day after the election. The governor has repeatedly pointed to Madigan’s “undemocratic” legislative district
map, which he says has “rigged” the election against the Republicans. You gotta figure he’ll use that as his excuse if Madigan comes out on top, as well as infinite references to Donald Trump’s expected miserable performance. But, wait. Aren’t quite a few pundits saying that Trump’s repeated refrain that the election will be rigged hurting him further by depressing his base of support? They could be right, but Gov. Rauner has added a twist. “We’ve got a system that is rigged,” Rauner told WAND TV’s Doug Wolfe in late August. But then he did something that Trump isn’t doing. He talked about a solution. “We’ve got gerrymandered districts that are shaped like spaghetti noodles in many cases designed to protect incumbents.” So, Rauner said, to fix this, Illinoisans need to support reforms, like redistricting and term limits. And whenever Rauner says this, he adds
that the best way to get those reforms is to elect more people who will work with him, mainly Republicans. And the worst thing to do is to vote for anyone associated with his arch enemy Speaker Madigan. So, what Rauner is doing is quite clever. He uses Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric without all that “nasty” Trump baggage. Of course, if Trump does unintentionally depress his own base, that would be really bad news for Rauner, who is counting on that base to turn out and vote his way—which is one reason why he won’t say anything that directly criticizes Trump. What’s that old saying about the bestlaid plans? Jack Franks the Democrat was able to avoid defeat for 18 years in a Republican district, which makes Rauner’s argument about redistricting reform look just a little silly. The point is, though, strange things happen in politics. Stay tuned.

GLB Railroad promises false hopes, raises fears
By Paul Gorski Contributor
T
he Great Lakes Basin Railroad (GLBRR) is a rail line proposed by a private group that promises to relieve regional freight train congestion. This would be done by developing a new multi-state private rail line that bypasses Chicago and cuts across hundreds of acres of Illinois farmland, including some in western Winnebago County. Suffice to say, many of the landowners and villages in the path of the proposed rail line have serious doubts and concerns about sacrificing their property for a private, toll-based railroad. For good reason. To those business professionals reading this, imagine someone asking you to partner with them: “I’d like to build this new product. I don’t have any experience building this product, I don’t have any customers signed up for the product, and my potential customers are already committed to using my competitor’s product.” You would say, “Sure, what do you need from me?” No, probably not. Nevertheless, that is what local leaders including Larry Morrissey, Scott Christiansen and Michael Dunn, Jr. agreed to in July of 2015. More on that later. The sponsor of the GLBRR does not have much if any previous experience in rail transportation. Two of the six major railroads that
By Nancy Churchill
might use the service have said they will not use it. The remaining four rail carriers have not supported the project. In addition, there is also at least one big project, the CREATE Program which is working to relieve rail congestion in northern Illinois. CREATE has the support and participation of the six major rail carriers in question. Despite this, the Rockford Metropolitan Agency for Planning (RMAP) stated its support for the GLBRR in its 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan dated July 30, 2015. Among those leaders were: Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey, County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen and RMAP Executive Director Michael Dunn Jr. The RMAP plan has big ideas for the sketchy GLBRR, hoping for rail connections to the
GLBRR, who do you think Haney will side with: residents of Winnebago County; or his friends, family and the big money that put him in office? Follow the money. Nelson has been consistent, siding with the concerned residents. Most of these residents are raising land use and environmental concerns. I say focus on the basic premise of the plan and the people offering up the plan. Who will use the rail line? Why would the rail carriers support this project and the multi-billion dollar CREATE Program? I cannot help but feel this project raises the same false hopes the failed proposed ethanol plant did, which was to some people simply a scam, a scam that blinded many with the false promise of jobs and economic development. The proposed Great Lakes Basin Railroad raises legitimate fears and concerns. I encourage residents to continue asking their questions and demand more hearings on the project. Share this message with family, friends and neighbors. The local insiders supporting this plan will not stop or relent. You should not either. Paul Gorski is a resident of Cherry Valley Township, Winnebago County and serves as a Cherry Valley Township Trustee. This article was written with Rock River Times publisher Frank Schier in mind.
Taxes provide for the General Welfare

Meet John Doe
Rockford airport. The GLBRR project has been in the news recently because many local residents oppose the project because of its potential negative impact on the county. Fueling the fire, County Board Chairman candidates John Nelson and Frank Haney have come out on different sides of the debate. Nelson sides with the residents; Haney with the project. Well, sort of, depending on the day. Haney has twisted and turned on his position regarding the GLBRR. First, he is for it, then he will wait until the environmental review, then he will take in under consideration, and now, apparently he might be against it. I cannot see how he can be against it. The GLBRR project has the support of his mentors: Larry Morrissey, Scott Christiansen and Michael Dunn Jr. Haney is friends with, served on a college board with, and received campaign help from Dunn Jr. Dunn Jr. is also the son of Mike Dunn Sr., who heads the Rockford airport, which again, figures prominently in RMAP’s plan for the GLBRR. Funny how things like that turnout in this county. Haney has some of the same big contributors as Christiansen, and has many of the same friends, advisors and campaign contributors as Morrissey. When push comes to shove on a final county board action on the
ranted, Donald Trump’s predatory attitude toward women disqualifies him for any office, much less president of the United States. But there is one equally “yuge” policy reason not to vote for him: He thinks it’s good business not to pay taxes. I consider it cheating our country out of desperately-needed revenue. The Constitution agrees. Section 8 of Article 1 gives Congress the “Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare” uniformly “throughout the United States.” Republicans like House Speaker Paul Ryan also embrace non-payment of taxes, under the guise of “traditional values,” in
the form of tax cuts for the wealthy. Of course these “traditional values” are really only designed “to pay the Debts and provide for the … general Welfare” of the wealthy, not the welfare of middle class people like you and me. Because when moguls like Trump don’t pay their fair share, budgets are starved, and these shortfalls – those “debts” that taxes are designed to discharge – are then consigned to be paid by the vulnerable people the Constitution specifically mandates for protection. This “trickle-down” mentality is behind 30 years of assault against the social programs which provide for “the general Welfare”: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the unemployment safety-net, among others. Would you have dreamed it was possible for a hedge fund manager in Chicago to
“earn” $4 million per day? And on top of that pay a lower tax rate than a family in the middle class? Those are “traditional values”? The poor are ripped off in many ways to make up for this con. Case in point: “In 2013, Ferguson collected $2.6 million in court fines and fees, mainly on traffic violations and other low-level municipal offenses. This sum was 21 percent of the city’s total budget, and its second largest source of income. ‘These fines and fees took a terrible toll on residents of Ferguson, 22 percent of whom had incomes under the federal poverty level,’ Voss says. In 2013, he notes, nearly 25,000 warrants were issued, ‘which was amazing considering the population of Ferguson was only 21,000.’” In a glaring display of conflict of interest, furthermore, “The report also showed that
Coming next week
police in some communities were under intense pressure to write tickets, to benefit the municipality that paid their salary.” [progressive.org/news/2016/10/188987/ magazine-cities-revoke-licenses-shake-down-poor] This is blatantly contrary to providing for “the general welfare.” Rather it’s cheating the public and the most vulnerable, so the wealthy can avoid paying taxes. Clearly these are not “traditional values.” Clearly it is “corruption.” And clearly, the tax code must be rewritten. We could get this done by replacing our representation in Congress with a Brand New Congress, starting in 2018. Learn how you can help at brandnewcongress. org/faq. And vote this November 8 for Democrats who pledge to get the wealthy to pay their fair share!

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo
This Week: Mercury, the planet that influences communication and travel, is in Scorpio. Hidden influences and secrets will come to light on a personal as well as a universal level. This is a time, like it or not, when we find out where all the bodies are buried. Venus, the planet of love, is in Sagittarius through November 11; this takes the influence off of personal relationships and shifts it into global love and awareness. This ought to be quite an enlightening time frame my friends. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — You need to simmer down a bit and start cutting those around you some serious slack. You have no control over the outside influences that have been affecting the quality of your life. It’s time to create your own happiness within your own humble abode. Once you honor the loved ones around you peace will arrive, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— You may not know which invitation to accept first; in the end try to make it to all of your commitments at this time. You may feel like hiding out, but by week’s end you’re in a totally different mindset. The past will resurface in the best possible light now. Enjoy all of the circumstances, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Your social sector begins to expand during this lunar cycle, seasoned with romantic opportunities for those of you who are searching for love. You’ve put so much time and energy into your career that you haven’t really been able to focus on your personal life. The perfect balance arrives in the months to come allowing you to experience the best of both worlds, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — A past situation will revisit you in order for you to put this to rest for good. You can overcome so many obstacles at this time if you only put your mind to it. A loved one may call it quits for good. Don’t test another that is on their last nerve. You may end up on the outside looking in, Cancer . Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — A family member may attempt to unravel a personal aspect that has begun to solidify for you this week. You may need to set a strong boundary with another that is trying to interfere in your life. Once you have clarified where you stand, expect positive results to follow. If you put your head in the sand you will only hurt yourself in the long run, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — It has been a long road you have traveled in the past week and you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed at this time. Take a time out to rest and recoup from this interesting
adventure. After November 1 you can put yourself back on track with your mundane tasks and responsibilities. Live in the moment, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Make sure that you honor your debts, spiritually, emotionally and physically during this lunar cycle, as well as throughout the end of the year. It may be time to get a realistic viewpoint regarding your finances and what it will take to move forward in the future. You have the resources to succeed, utilize them now, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — It may be time to sit down with a business partner or loved one and go over the budget for the months to come. Financial reality doesn’t appear to exist with an individual around you. If you don’t get to the bottom of this now it will only become more complicated in 2017. Everyone needs to pull their own weight, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — You’re mixing business with pleasure during this lunar cycle and building contacts for future success. You’re creating a new motto – working smarter not harder – that you will be able to apply in the years to come. Make the most of Saturn’s final tour in your sign which will move into Capricorn December 17, 2017. When it’s completed you will have the spiritual,
emotional and physical muscle mass that you never thought you were capable of obtaining, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You may be feeling a bit fatigued early on this week, but don’t let that stop you from making plans for the weekend. When all is said and done you will have the energy to make connections with friends and family at that time. You will feel rejuvenated with the lighthearted social connections as well as learn some valuable lessons regarding life, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You may need to stand up to an overbearing female this weekend. Although you may not feel that you have the energy to address this issue, it needs to be done at this time. If you do not make a stand now, this will only escalate into a bigger issue around the holidays. Midweek brings a lucky break into your financial sector, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You will receive some good news regarding your work and finances at this time. It’s time to celebrate and share your good fortune with others. At week’s end you will run into a love interest that has intrigued you for quite some time. This is a good time to extend yourself; take a leap of faith and see what happens, Pisces.

WE M BUY JUNK CARS THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT
ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs. Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay. Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability. Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline. Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills. Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Is Cancer winning ‘The War on Cancer’? By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. In 1971 President Nixon declared a war on cancer yet more than 40 years later cancer is still winning. I just recently was at a conference about cancer and it is really scarring that nothing new is being done. There are four main chemical therapy drugs that they have been using and are stilling using these four drugs. Nothing new is being done but we are told new and improved drugs are being used every day to fight cancer. Dr. Paul Glidden, who has written many articles and books on this subject, shared that in 1994 a 12year study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology and the results were that 97 percent of chemotherapy does not work. You then have to ask yourself why is it still being used. As Dr. Glidden said “If Ford Motors made an automobile that exploded 97 percent of the time would they still be in business?” We all know what that answer would be. I try very hard to educate my clients that come into my office after they have been diagnosed with cancer. Do you know that cancer can take 5 to 10 years to be clinically detectable. In my case I felt my breast lump for 3 years before a mammogram ever picked it up. The radiologist who read my mammogram stated non-cancerous tumor. Calcium deposits. He made that call without doing a biopsy. Another thing that I educate clients on
is know your numbers. Do you know what test you need to ask your doctor for? Cancer markers, estrogen numbers, inflammation numbers, sugar levels, lipid panel and kidney numbers. Have a file for yourself and look at your blood work yearly to make sure everything is great. If numbers go up, ask your doctor why and what can I do. Know your numbers. When I do fingernail/tongue analysis, you can visually see early signs that something is going on with your immune system. Lack of lunulea, teeth marks, cherry angiomas, clubbing, ear crease just to name a few. You see signs such as nail clubbing, cherry angiomas on forehead, ear crease, veins in the ears, auricle lumps and you start to ask questions and put things together. I love it. You can read what the body is telling you and know what questions to ask by different markings and characteristics. If you find yourself just not getting answers and need a second opinion, please feel free to call my office and make an appointment to have fingernail/tongue analysis. You will be surprised how your body is talking. Julia Michniewicz is a Naturopathic Doctor who is celebrating her 17th year cancer free by not doing chemical therapy and radiation. If she can help you in her Rockford office, please call 815-962-3326 to set up an appointment.

Mr. Green Car
Understanding the basics of auto aerodynamics, Part 2 By Allen Penticoff Contributor
S
ome friends of mine are living the dream. They sold their home and stuff and moved aboard a big rolling box of a motorhome they call Augustus, or Gus The Bus for short. During their travels so far this year they have been out west and as far north and east as you can go – Newfoundland. Along the way their refrigerator died, so they headed to the homeland of all recreational vehicles (RV) – Elkhart, Indiana to have it replaced. During this sojourn in Elkhart they discovered the RV/MH Hall of Fame and museum in Elkhart, and via her blog, I learned of it. Visiting the museum’s website (rvmhhalloffame.org) and viewing the gallery of photos, I discovered my dream trailer – a 1930s vintage Bowlus streamlined aluminum trailer. I knew I had to go see this in person and before long, by coincidence, I had a need to be in Elkhart to help transfer a niece home from a vacation with my sister and her husband. So with my friend Dan doing the driving, we went to Elkhart, had lunch and all five of us went through the excellent museum of American motorized camping (no VW Campers) industry. There I found the 1935 Bowlus Road Chief to be amazed by. Having long been a pilot and armchair aerodynamicist – I’d always felt that the standard box of a trailer or motorhome was grossly inefficient. They truly are. You’d be hard pressed to design something that was
aerodynamically worse. A flat plate presented to the airflow with a flat tail end to create lots of turbulence and suction of reverse airflow. Have you ever noticed that when you drive fairly close behind a big box going down the road that it takes far less pressure on the gas pedal to stay in place – you are being sucked along and benefiting from the broken airflow of that turbulence. Then there is that solid wall of air it takes more power to get through when you do decide to pass. My dream trailer would be rounded in front and have a long pointed tail to smooth out the airflow. The Bowlus trailers did exactly this in the 1930s. William Hawley Bowlus (born 1896 in Illinois – died 1967) was building gliders (engineless aircraft) in 1910 (age 14). When World War I came along he had become an aircraft mechanic and designer. In 1927 he was a designer and project supervisor for the building of Charles Lindberg’s “Spirit of St. Louis.” He and the Lindbergs were friends, Charles having given Bowlus the propeller spinner off the Spirit for his efforts in its success (it is signed inside by all the workers who built it – to Lindberg). Hawley Bowlus would later teach Charles and Anne Lindberg to fly gliders – and both set records in them. Bowlus’ #2 glider license is signed by Orville Wright (Bowlus broke a Wright glider record too). Bowlus designed the first high-performance sailplane in 1930 and would go on to design and build many more – this is where most of his fame lies. But in The early 1930s
he formed a company with Jacob Teller to build streamlined travel trailers in California. This was known as the Bowlus-Teller Manufacturing Company, although most folks now just call them Bowlus trailers. They built 140 trailers and had designs for a motorhome and other innovative products before going bust in 1936. Wally Byam, who had been building and selling kits for a Masonite travel trailer had been involved in marketing the Bowlus trailers and soon found himself owning the company that became known as Airstream. In 1936 Byam modified a Bowlus trailer to put the door on the side instead of the front and called his creation the “Airstream Clipper” named after the famous seaplane of the time. Unlike Bowlus, Airstream would survive to this day with manufacturing moving from California to Jackson Center, Ohio (some were built in California up until 1979). So the slightly rounded box (and more aerodynamically efficient than a pure box) you see in the Airstream trailers and motorhomes has a direct link to Hawley Bowlus, his super-streamlined trailers and the Spirit of St. Louis. Inside a Bowlus trailer it is long and narrow. You step onto the tongue of the trailer and enter through a refrigerator-like door at the front where you find a small galley to prepare food. In the “cabin” you’ll find a small dinette and a sofa, both of which convert to beds. Back in the tail end are another two berths. It reminded me of a boat
and an airplane at once. I would be very fine with towing this. I saw a photo of a not very streamlined Model A Ford towing a very streamlined Bowlus trailer. The streamlined trailer would definitely benefit the Model A’s limited horsepower on a long trip along the Lincoln Highway. I also came upon a Bowlus trailer in the wild at a big gathering of antique and classic airplanes at Brodhead, Wisconsin. this September. There are perhaps 20 still surviving. The owner had a nice display which showed other Bowlus-Teller products planned as well as that Model A photo. Sadly I was never able to meet this owner. Perhaps next year. In a way, I’ve long had a “streamlined trailer” in the form of the 26-foot sailboat we have towed all over the country to various sailing destinations. We sometimes camp in it along the way. But it is not nearly so streamlined as the magnificent and nearly perfectly streamlined Bowlus trailers of the 1930s. Folks have long found the boxy sort of trailer to be more practical and spacious, however – so if we someday find fuel prices heading off into the unaffordable range, we may well see a return of these sleek designs – but probably in fiberglass or plastic rather than the labor intense but light-weight riveted aluminum of the Bowlus trailer. My next Mr. Green Car will conclude this series with a look at the evolving state of tractor-trailer aerodynamics.
squared to 10000 pounds when the speed is doubled to 60 mph. This calculation assumes that the load is squared when the speed is doubled which does not happen. We learn in science from 9th grade through engineering school and in related careers that the wind drag varies with the square of the velocity,
not with the square of the initial wind load. This relationship applies to many cases such as ballistics, aerospace etc. In the example cited, the load of 100 pounds would actually increase to 100 X (60/30) squared or to 400 pounds. The 10,000 pound figure is 25 times too high.
If the load of 100 pounds or 0.05 tons were squared for the double speed, the result would be 0.0025 tons or 5 pounds. This further illustrates the error in this calculation method.
Special Letter to the Editor These Mr. Green Car articles have some interesting facts about various automobiles, but The Rock River Times Vol. 23, No. 52 October 12-18, Page 36 article on aerodynamics had some serious, blatant errors in explaining the relationship of drag to velocity.

Soybean prices remain strong
By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau
URBANA – December 2016 corn and wheat futures have recovered about 12 percent and 7 percent, respectively, from the early September lows, but remain at relatively low levels. November soybean futures have recovered about 7 percent from the late September low and remain higher than expected based on the record large U.S. harvest, prospects for larger stocks by the end of the marketing year, and expectations of increased acreage in 2017. According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, the recent recovery in soybean prices has been led by soybean oil prices, with December 2016 futures now 22 percent above the late July low and above the previous high price established in April. December soybean meal futures are about 6 percent above the late September low and 25 percent below the June peak. “Soybean oil prices have been supported by expanding world vegetable oil trade and consumption and higher prices of competing vegetable oils,” Good says. “Both soybean oil futures and palm oil prices have reached the highest level in more than two years. Soybean prices have also received support from strong nearby export demand for U.S. soybeans stemming from the shortfall in South American production this year and from continued large purchases by China.” Export inspections during the first seven weeks of the marketing year are estimated at 384 million bushels, 37 million above the total inspections a year ago. Unshipped export sales as of Oct. 13 were reported at 884 million bushels compared to 703 million a year earlier. China accounted for about 41 percent of the unshipped sales and unknown destinations, which may also be dominated by China, accounted for 44 percent of the unshipped sales. “Soybean prices may have also received some support from the September domestic soybean crush that was larger than expected,” Good says. “The National Oilseed Processors Association reported that its members crushed 129.4 million bushels of soybeans in September, 2 percent more than crushed in September 2015. The
USDA’s Oilseed Crushings, Production, Consumption and Stocks report to be released on Nov. 3 is expected to confirm that the September crush was the largest since 2007. As U of I economist Todd Hubbs pointed out in last week’s Weekly Outlook, soybean prices for the remainder of the marketing year will be heavily influenced by the strength of export demand, particularly from China, and prospects for South American production. Production prospects will be influenced by the unfolding estimates of planted acreage and by weather and yield prospects. Some are expecting Brazilian soybean acreage to exceed the current USDA projection, but there is also increasing chatter about the prospects for a strengthening La Niña episode and the potential for unfavorable growing season
weather in South America. Good says in the near term, soybean prices will also be influenced by the USDA’s U.S. soybean production forecast to be released on Nov. 9. The October forecast was for a crop of 4.269 billion bushels, 68 million bushels larger than the September forecast and 209 million bushels larger than the August forecast. The U.S. average yield forecast increased from 48.9 bushels in August to 50.6 bushels in September and 51.4 bushels in October. “Based on widespread yield reports, there is a general expectation that the yield forecast will increase again in November,” Good says. “History supports that expectation as well. In the previous 40 years, the U.S. average yield forecast increased in September and again in October, as was the case this year, in 12 years. In 11 of those 12 years, the November
yield forecast exceeded the October forecast. The increase ranged from 0.2 to 1.1 bushels and averaged 0.7 bushels. The lone exception was in 1981, when the November yield forecast was 0.5 bushel below the October forecast.” According to Good, in those 11 years when the yield forecast increased in November, the yield estimate released in January after harvest exceeded the November forecast in seven years, was unchanged once, and declined in three years. The January increase ranged from 0.3 to 0.7 bushel and the decline ranged from 0.1 to 0.3 bushel. In 1981, when the November forecast was below the October forecast, the January yield estimate was 0.4 bushel above the November forecast. “History points to a November U.S soybean production forecast that is 20 to 90 million bushels above the
October forecast,” Good says. “If soybean production in South America rebounds as forecast, any increase in the U.S production estimate is likely to result in a forecast of year-ending stocks to exceed the current projection of 395 million bushels. The impact of larger year-ending stocks would be compounded by an increase in soybean acreage in the U.S. next year. “There will continue to be a lot of moving parts to the soybean price picture with the potential for a wide trading range over the next several months,” Good says. “From a risk management standpoint, current prices offer a relatively good return for producers who benefitted from above average yields this year. November 2017 futures approaching $10 per bushel also deserve a look, particularly by those intending to increase soybean acreage in 2017.”

Managing disease during apple harvest
Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension
With apple harvest in full swing, you might be dealing with apple diseases this season. Even one apple tree in the backyard is highly susceptible to a number of diseases. Your apple tree can be targeted from the spring into the fall. Many of these diseases can over winter on fruit and leaves. If you’ve inherited a tree or wanting to purchase an apple tree, know it’s disease susceptibility. Some apple trees on the market are resistant to diseases such as Apple Scab. Other ones are highly susceptible. By knowing your tree’s resistance, this can help form your disease management strategy. You also need to accept that if you want near-perfect fruit, you need to have a spray schedule in place. This can be with conventional and OMRI (organic) pesticides. For some diseases, it isn’t a question of if it will show up, but when it will. There are many extension spray guides available for homeowners. Your main apple diseases are Apple Scab, Fireblight, and rots. Apple scab will be present most seasons and there are some varieties that are very susceptible. Small, black lesions will appear on the fruit. Fireblight will
appear on leaves/limbs as if part of your tree has caught on fire before spreading to the fruit. Black/brownish soft discoloration are rots that will be on the fruit and can potentially be sunken in. Each disease will have different control methods but there are some acceptable cultural practices that may help you manage your apple tree diseases. Cultural practices are those that can keep disease from spreading in the orchard. Proper spacing between trees will keep leaves dry and prevent disease from moving. Cleaning your pruners, with a rubbing alcohol solution, between cuts on the tree can lessen the impact of fireblight. Pruning your trees properly will eliminate limbs that can harbor disease. During fruit drop in June, remove fruit and leaves on the ground. Right now, you should rake up leaves and dropped fruit to keep the disease from overwintering next season. This is one of your key cultural practices for apple scab control. Combining these cultural practices with dwarf/semi-dwarf apple trees that have disease resistance can be a start to successful disease management.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher
The Dearly Departed Sisters had a penchant for chicken and wine. However, I hate Brussels sprouts. I hated them as a child, and I will continue to hate Brussels sprouts as a supposed adult. I’ve tried them recently again under force of the cancer diet. I have heard that if you cut them in half and roast Brussels sprouts under the broiler they taste much better. I suggest you try it. Try anything! Every recipe can be improved upon, especially when it has really weird vegetables. Ma Schier and Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

NHL
Measuring Anisimov’s hot start By Adam Hess Contributor
W
ith the Chicago Blackhawks off to a bit of a slow start to the season, there’s a whole lot of disappointment surrounding the Men of Madison right now. The penalty kill, which has often been a strong indicator of success for the Hawks in the Joel Quenneville era, has been the worst in the league, being scored upon more often than not. Key veterans have been failing to produce at an alarming rate, with captain and number one center Jonathan Toews among the most disappointing players in the NHL to start this season. Through seven games thus far, Toews has found his way to the score sheet just twice, with two assists. He has as many points as the likes of Ryan Hartman and Marcus Kruger, and half as many as rookie winger Tyler Motte. That is bad. So with so much going wrong for the
Blackhawks, it’s been encouraging to see the torrid start of second line center Artem Anisimov. As a member of the Hawks’ most dangerous line last year, Anisimov was viewed as a bit of a passenger with Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane. Not to say that Anisimov was not an impactful player last year, but playing with elite players like Panarin and Kane is bound to elevate any player’s game, and it certainly worked for Anisimov. However, this season, Anisimov has been the straw stirring the drink for the Hawks’ second line. Through the Hawks’ first seven games, Anisimov leads the team with nine points (four goals, five assists), seven of which have come at even strength. For reference, Kane – last year’s NHL point leader and MVP – is still at eight points (two goals, six assists). Anisimov’s hot start has been largely localized in the last week or so, as he’s scored eight of his nine points in the Hawks last five games, with seven
points in four games last week, which earned him the NHL’s second star honor. Now, as tends to be the case with torrid starts to a season, there is plenty of reason to believe that this explosion from Anisimov early on will not last too long. He is shooting an astronomical 33 percent, converting his four goals on just 12 shots on net. It also is unknown how much longer he will be playing on a line with Kane and Panarin, as many believe that line will be split up in an effort to distribute talent throughout the Hawks’ lineup and give them more depth. However, for the time being, Ansimov has been the Blackhawks best player, and
fresh. local. tasty.
that is a good thing. Chicago has been forced to rely upon the scoring of Panarin, Anisimov, and Kane for much of their offensive output while the other lines struggle, so it’s encouraging to see Anisimov step up to the plate when necessary. If he can continue to produce at a higher than expected level, we could see him end up with 60 or 65 points this season, which has become a sort of benchmark for elite production in today’s NHL. Combine that with the struggling players like Toews likely hitting their stride soon, and he Blackhawks may be all right after all. Follow Adam on Twitter: @_adamhess.

NFL
Bears at a crossroads after GB loss
By Robert Zeglinski Contributor
T
here’s an air of inevitability in the NFL. Typically, the cream of the crop will rise to the top more often than not. The Chicago Bears came into Lambeau Field a broken down skeleton of a team and left a battered one. By all respective measure, there was no reason they should have hung around with the Green Bay Packers enough into an eventual 26-10 loss. Green Bay, while decimated by injuries themselves, still possessed one of the best offensive lines in the league, had defensive stalwarts like Clay Matthews and Mike Daniels present, and above all, Aaron Rodgers was under center. With Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer breaking his arm early in this contest, all semblance of a Chicago offense was lost with third stringer Matt Barkley. It’s almost as if the football gods had designs on entertaining themselves with an embarrassment of a game. Everything came up green and gold. If you were a prognosticator with any relevant amount of money on the line here, you would have bet the house on a Packers’ blowout. Yet, somehow, that didn’t happen. A plucky Bears team with no hope of winning anything relevant besides a fantasy football styled consolation bracket this season, held it’s own with their bitter rivals. The Packers only had a 6-3 lead at half. On the first possession entering the second stanza, standout rookie Leonard Floyd scored a touchdown on a sack fumble even temporarily giving the Bears the 10-6 lead. Floyd in particular, gave fans something to watch with three tackles, three pressures, two sacks, a tackle for loss, a forced fumble, and a touchdown. Floyd enjoyed every bit of a breakout game that is much needed as the Bears push themselves towards a top pick next April. Among a miscast team of heroes, these are the kinds of performances that set a foundation and that offer glimpses of a potentially bright future should the puzzle piece together. The ideal now is to string together consistency for Floyd on a regular basis. One gets the sense he and other young stalwarts on this roster, will. Anyway, with largely most of Chicago focused on Los Angeles and the National League Championship Series, the Bears were putting up a fight under no spotlight. Yes Green Bay did pull away in the end, but not in any way anyone expected them to. Consider that while Rodgers threw for three touchdowns and 356 yards, it took him 56 attempts and 39 completions to do so. That’s an average of 6.35 yards a throw, a decidedly mediocre statistic. Chicago treated Rodgers like a quarterback they didn’t fear would
attack them vertically, and lo and behold, somehow it worked. When you throw in the fact that the Bears defense was on the field for almost two thirds of the game with a lot of backups playing in the secondary, it’s a wonder the dam didn’t collapse earlier. Barkley wasn’t going to win in Lambeau Field in primetime, but the defense oh so valiantly attempted to. It is at this point in the season where you’re completely mistaken if there’s any relevant investment in wins and losses for the Bears. Maybe moral victories don’t matter and aren’t anything to be proud of, but what to watch for are team efforts against vastly superior teams as well as individual showcases. This is where to find solace in a team that’s trying to grow up. Regardless of any criticism hurled his way in the coming months, Chicago has somehow not yet given up on head coach John Fox, and in the end, that may count for something. But the fight does come with caveats. The Bears aren’t playing well by any stretch. A 1-6 record obviously reflects that notion. They don’t have a discernible identity on either side of the ball. This is the worst scoring offense in the NFL at just 15.9 points per game. But somehow, they’re still staying united. This is a train that in all likelihood probably should have derailed at the start of October, and yet here it is ploddingly chugging along. That shouldn’t necessarily be taken as a positive given Chicago’s place in the standings, but it’s a silver lining nonetheless. Agonizingly, there are still nine games left to play in 2016. All of that opportunity for growth awaits. However, there’s still no reason to trust Fox on any injury issue especially following quarterback Jay Cutler’s magical clearance after Hoyer’s injury. It’s hard to believe Cutler would be cleared for the upcoming Monday night matchup against Minnesota if Hoyer isn’t on injured reserve. All of the rumblings over the past month have pointed to Fox- whose misguided- favoring Hoyer over Cutler when healthy. Maintain doubt in assuming Cutler’s thumb magically healed just enough, only now, over the course of three days versus two weeks ago. “It’s good to have Jay back. We’re excited to have him back and hopefully he can remain healthy,” said Fox of his maligned starter on Monday. Translate the pride and happiness in relations speak to, “We don’t have another option” and or “my job is on the line, so we have to play him.” Fox hitched his wagon to Hoyer with the largest hook possible, and now he believes in Cutler? Feel free to do a spit take. Someone’s just covering their tracks.
With Minnesota up on the docket and then a bye week, Chicago’s season potentially looks a lot different with health and their starting quarterback. There are plenty of winnable games in the second half of the season with a player in Cutler that can actually make every throw. Irony is ever present too with Cutler having Fox’s job in his hands as well as in all likelihood, his own future in Chicago. If Cutler plays at a Pro Bowl level and wins five or six of the next nine games, this mismatched duo probably returns together next season- whether anyone likes it or not. Said Fox more of Cutler way back in Week 5, “It’s performance based. So anybody that’s performing well, I don’t think we’re going to be likely to change.” Even Fox can’t deny his previous comments of dissent as much as he tries. The question remains as to whether the Bears want to win these games versus just taking their lumps with young players like Floyd shining from time to time. A winning streak now may set you back and take you out of the top 10 of the draft, away from a blue chip player you need in an ongoing rebuild. Professional sports teams don’t deliberately tank and try to lose, but the overall picture of talent is still presented to them. Over the next two months, the future and identity of an organization hangs in the balance. Whether the Bears fight their way back into the playoff picture – or conclude their downward spiral – is anyone’s best guess.
Week 8 vs. Vikings, Monday Night Football
Even with a disappointing loss in Philadelphia, the division rival, Vikings, have been the best team in the NFC to this point in the season. They have some inherent flaws like every contender, but this will be quite the mountain for Chicago to climb on Halloween. When the Bears are on defense: Everyone mocked Minnesota for trading a first round pick for the formerly questionable quarterback in Sam Bradford, but that investment has paid off in spades. Bradford has modest numbers at 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, but is the model of game management efficiency with a quarterback rating of 100.3 and just one interception thrown on the year. With a team like the Vikings possess, they don’t need an Aaron Rodgers-type to carry them to cloud nine. They need someone who plays within the confines of the offense, that meaning someone who can make the occasional big play and doesn’t give the ball away, much like Bradford.
The problem herein with Minnesota’s offense- which is what ultimately may have them fall in January- is their utter lack of a ground game and quality offensive line. In Sunday’s loss at Philadelphia, Bradford was pressured on a staggering 40 percent of his 41 drop-backs. That’s not a recipe for success. And with Adrian Peterson sidelined since Week 2, the Vikings have the NFL’s worst rushing offense in both DVOA and yardage accrued. With balance, this team has enough to go all the way, but it’s not like you can’t poke holes in their operation. With Chicago’s defense getting healthier, if Minnesota doesn’t spring for more balance, a pass rush of Leonard Floyd, Willie Young, and a recovering Pernell McPhee figure to have a big day against one of the league’s worst offensive lines. Look for them to tee off regardless of a victory. When the Bears are on offense: This game on national television would have been downright humiliating if Matt Barkley was forced to start against the league’s current best defense. Jay Cutler’s return marks a way towards risk taking and regrettable chances missed. Cutler’s a quarterback that’s going to make mistakes but at least he isn’t afraid to make them in the confines of a play that’s broken down all around him. The Bears have an element of danger in their passing game again and that’ll be much needed against the number one ranked pass defense in Minnesota. Chicago will need balance though, and a lot of this game plan is predicated on the health of Pro Bowl guards Josh Sitton and Kyle Long. If neither or only one is able to play, you can expect Cutler’s passing pocket to be torn asunder all night long and any hopes of a quality running game with tailback Jordan Howard to go by the wayside. The Vikings also have the NFL’s second best rushing defense, of course. An offensive line in shambles won’t get enough push to create any holes against a dominant front seven like this. If Sitton and Long do play though, then Chicago can try and get Howard and Ka’Deem Carey rolling. Zach Miller and Alshon Jeffery will also have a matchup advantage against the terrifying Anthony Barr and Xavier Rhodes. Put simply, a healthy Bears offense makes this a fight. Anything less, you have the entire country wondering why they’re watching Chicago again. It’ll be closer than people think.

WORLD SERIES From Back Cover
Fowler, to seeing the return of injured slugger Kyle Schwarber, and it was everything a baseball fan could have hoped for. “I’ve been waiting my whole life for this, I just wish my dad could have lived to see it,” said Ryan Jones, 42, a fan from Chicago’s western suburbs who wiped tears from his eyes while celebrating with his two sons outside of Wrigley Field Saturday night. “But as amazing as this feels, the Cubs still have a lot of work to do to win this.” For Cleveland fans, they’ve witnessed their own historic moments, as the Indians made their first World Series appearance in nearly 20 years and search for their first win since 1948. Just across the street from Progressive Field, the Cavaliers began the 2017 NBA with the ring ceremony that officially broke the Cleveland Sports Curse. This series will certainly be electric for both teams and their fans, but for Cubs fans, this is certainly a completely different level of electric. Cubs fans are witnessing things that their parents and perhaps even generations before that were never able to see. “I hope they enjoy this,” Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks said. “They have been waiting a long time for it. Best fans in the baseball, most dedicated fans, and they deserve a lot more of these, that’s for sure.” Due to the American League winning the All-Star Game this past season, Cleveland has been awarded home field advantage and will host tonight’s Game 2 before a scheduled travel day for the teams as they head back to Chicago to give the city their first World Series in 11 years. This time though, it’s on the championship hungry North side of Chicago. In a surprising and exhilarating move that simply will make this series all the more exciting, the Cubs announced yesterday afternoon that after a small stint in the Arizona Fall League after a long and tedious rehabilitation process for a torn ACL and LCL, that Kyle Schwarber had been officially added to the World Series roster. Schwarber will continue to serve as the DH in the games hosted at Progressive Field, though his status for games at Wrigley Field over the upcoming weekend under NL rules is unclear. As a rookie in 2015, Schwarber played in his first ever postseason last October and belted five home runs over 31 plate appearances, seeming to make him the perfect fit for the DH role in this situation. If Schwarber is able to continue the magic, he could serve as a large contributor to the Cubs push for the championship. The series continues tonight with reigning NL Cy Young award winner Jake Arrieta taking the mound for the Cubs in Game 2. The

Indians have suffered a tumultuous October with a bevy of injuries to their starting rotation, making much of their run hinged either on selecting starters late in series or using their bullpen to piece together starts. Trevor Bauer, who suffered a laceration on his pinky finger from an incident with a drone and was removed after just two-thirds
of an inning from his last start, will be scheduled to start either game two or three along with Josh Tomlin. Suffering a forearm issue and missing the month of September and the entire postseason, the Indians announced that starting pitcher Danny Salazar was added to the World Series roster and will likely make a start at Wrigley Field this weekend.
Newcomer Ryan Merritt, who served as the Game 5 hero during the ALCS for the Indians, securing their victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, will likely also be slated for a start in this series after making the roster. Merritt made his first postseason start and pitched 3.1 innings in Toronto October 19th. He allowed just two hits, no runs, and surrendered no walks during his start. And Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis, who injured his left ankle in the celebrations after clinching the ALCS, said Tuesday that he would try to play through a sprained ankle. Pictures of the injury were posted online ahead of Game 1 showing a joint that appeared to be roughly the color and size of a ripe eggplant. The Cubs will finish up Game 2 of the series at Cleveland tonight before heading to Wrigley Field to host the Indians for Games 3 and 4 (and possibly 5) this weekend. The probables include Kyle Hendricks and John Lackey for the first two games of the weekend. Questions abound in both clubhouses but one thing is certain: decades of pain and hardship will come to an end for one fanbase with the closing act of this World Series.

Tales from the Trough
BOUNCE BACK
IceHogs erupt for 3 straight wins to sweep Week 2 By Todd Reicher
the open net. Mashinter would score his first of the season with a redirected goal 6:53 in the third to once again pull Rockford up by two. The IceHogs played conservative hockey for the remainder of the game, and with Brad Thiessen on the bench, Dahlstrom fired a 200foot shot into the open net to seal a 5-2 win for Rockford.
Contributor
After stumbling out of the starting gates with two straight road losses to the reigning Calder Cup champions, the Rockford IceHogs pulled off three straight wins to jump into the third place slot behind the Milwaukee Admirals and Grand Rapids Griffins – two teams they defeated in week two. Friday’s game took place in Grand Rapids against the Griffins, who were undefeated up until this point. After an evenly-matched, and scoreless first period, Spencer Abbott scored on Rockford’s first power-play opportunity of the evening, just 10 seconds into the man advantage. Later in the period, Rockford would kill off their third penalty of the game, putting them at a perfect three-forthree for the night. Early in the third period, Rockford was awarded their second power play chance of the evening, and this time it was Martin Lundberg notching his first professional goal with 10 seconds left on the advantage to give Rockford that important second goal, increasing their lead to 2-0. Former first-round pick Anthony Mantha evened things up just over two minutes later notching his sixth goal of the young season to close the gap to a single goal. With Griffins backstop Jared Coreau on the bench for the extra attacker, the Griffins tried to tie things up late, but Lars Johansson fought off the attack and Rockford skated away with an impressive 2-1 win over the Griffins.
Keys for the week

The following night, Rockford headed home for the first home game of the regular season against the undefeated Milwaukee Admirals. Rockford really controlled the pace early, putting six shots on net before Milwaukee was able to float one in on Lundberg five minutes into the contest. Former IceHogs netminder Mark Visentin stopped all 14 first period shots he faced and Johansson stopped all six in a scoreless 20 minutes. For the second game in a row, Rockford tallied first when Mark McNeill slipped behind the defense and got in alone on Visentin for his first marker of the campaign. Just under eight minutes
later, Carl Dahlstrom put his first goal behind the net with a blast from the point to give Rockford a 2-0 lead. In addition, Rockford was now outshooting Milwaukee 2611 and appeared to have solid control of the game. Just 21 seconds later, however, a goal-mouth scrum cut Rockford’s lead to 2-1 with a Felix Gerard tally. Less than a minute later, the score was tied once again when Matt White found a wide open net when he popped in his first of the year. That was all the scoring we would see for the regulation, and overtime sessions, as the game went to a shootout. Spencer Abbott made good on the first attempt,
and White was held scoreless with a nice poke-check from Johanssen. After Brandon Mashinter was stopped and Anthony Richard failed to convert, McNeill sealed the game with a quick wrister to finish off the contest and give Rockford the extra point, 3-2 in a shootout. The following night, Rockford would play their third game in three days, and their third of the season against the Cleveland Monsters. Similar to the previous night, Rockford controlled play and came out firing against the Monsters. Kyle Baun was the first player to tally as Rockford scored the first goal for the third straight game at the 9:00
mark with a power play goal. Exactly 10 minutes later, Lundberg would pot his second goal of the year and Baun would pick up his second point of the night. A second power play conversion, this time from Abbott, would give Rockford a commanding 3-0 lead with the ‘Hogs once again controlling the pace. With time winding down in the period, Cleveland tallied two goals in a span of 100 seconds to close the gap to 3-2. Cody Goloubef made a great feed when he pulled goaltender Mac Carruth way outside of the net to his left, and no one picked up Daniel Zaar who was wide open in the slot to poke the puck into
in print weekly, online daily. RockRiverTimes.com
The good news is that all lines are contributing for the ‘Hogs with three different lines scoring. Man advantage still producing as Rockford has scored four power play goals in three games this week. Rookie goaltender Johanssen is showing why he was picked up out of Europe by the Chicago Blackhawks with his solid play thus far. After earning his second win in three starts this season, Johanssen shows a .944 save percentage and a 1.64 goals against average.
Looking forward
The IceHogs will play three games again this week with two home games sandwiching a Saturday showdown against the Chicago Wolves. Friday, Rockford will host the Chicago Wolves for the first game of the home-andhome, and Sunday the ‘Hogs will host the Admirals for the second time this season.
