In Brief Schier has successful surgery at UW-Madison

Frank Schier, Editor and Publisher of The Rock River Times, has undergone successful surgery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison health center.

Schier, who was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer last month, was taken to UW over the weekend for treatment. On Sunday, Dr. Wendell B. Lake, the hospital’s Head of Functional Neurosurgery, performed surgery to relieve pressure on Schier’s brain following a series of strokes brought on by an expanding tumor.

“Frank is right on target for recovering his right side functions,” Lake said via phone Tuesday. “He may even be ahead of schedule now.”

A benefit for Schier will be held next Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Prairie Street Brewhouse. See the facing page for further details.

Moody’s Analytics election model predicts Clinton win

Low gas prices and President Barack Obama’s high approval ratings are key factors that favor Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the White House in next week’s election, according to a model from Moody’s Analytics that has accurately predicted the last nine U.S. presidential contests.

Clinton is forecast to pick up 332 Electoral College votes against 206 for Republican Donald Trump, Moody’s Analytics predicted on Tuesday in the final update of its model before Election Day on Nov. 8.

That would match Obama’s margin of victory over Republican challenger Mitt Romney in 2012.

The Reuters-Ipsos States of the Nation project also predicts a Clinton win, with a 95 percent probability of her winning at least 278 electoral votes. A candidate needs to win at least 270 electoral votes to be elected president.

The Moody’s Analytics model is based on a combination of state-level economic conditions and political history, and has correctly called the outcome of each presidential election since Republican Ronald Reagan unseated Democrat Jimmy Carter in 1980.

Rather than focus on the individual candidates in a race, the model instead centers on whether current economic and political conditions favor the incumbent party in the White House. This year those factors point to Clinton becoming the 45th U.S. president.

The economic factors Moody’s measures include the two-year percentage changes in real personal income per household, as well as house and gasoline prices.

Among the political factors weighed, Moody’s said the most important is the share of the vote in any one state that went to the incumbent party in the previous election. It also takes into account voter fatigue and the incumbent president’s approval ratings.

Election 2016

Camps trade barbs over FBI intel

By Roberta Rampton & Mark Hosenball Reuters

WHITE PLAINS, New York/ WASHINGTON – A top aide to Hillary Clinton on Tuesday urged the FBI to disclose what it knows about any ties between Republican Donald Trump and Russia, accusing the law enforcement agency of unfairly publicizing its inquiry into Clinton’s email practices while staying quiet about Trump.

A week before Election Day, the Clinton campaign has been trying to contain damage from FBI Director James Comey’s announcement on Friday of new emails that might pertain to Clinton’s use of a private server while secretary of state.

Trump seized on the revelation to intensify his criticism of a rival he has long dubbed “Crooked Hillary” and welcomed a slight improvement for him in a new ABC/Washington Post poll on Tuesday.

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook questioned why the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s director had not released any information about its investigation into Russia’s role in the U.S. election or ties to Trump and

his senior aides.

“If you’re in the business of releasing information about investigations on presidential candidates, release everything you have on Donald Trump. Release the information on his connections to the Russians,” Mook said on CNN. “They don’t say a thing when it comes to Donald Trump and investigations against him, yet when it comes to Hillary Clinton, for some reason, they are more than happy to talk.”

The FBI opened a preliminary inquiry into allegations that Trump or his associates might have had questionable dealings with Russian individuals or businesses, but found no evidence to warrant opening a full investigation, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The inquiry reviewed allegations that Trump or his associates might have engaged in contacts or commerce with individuals subject to U.S. or international financial sanctions or violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. U.S. intelligence agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, which

generally are barred from investigating or spying on U.S. citizens, did not investigate Trump or his alleged dealings in Russia, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security recently declared that they had concluded that the Russian government was trying to disrupt or discredit the U.S. presidential election and the broader U.S. political process by hacking into Democratic Party and Clinton campaign emails.

The United States has blamed Russia for cyber attacks on Democratic Party organizations.

An article in Slate said that a group of computer scientists had been alarmed by records showing thousands of apparent connection attempts between a mail server operated on behalf of the Trump Organization and computers inside a Russian company, Alfa Bank in Moscow.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said the server in question, which had been used to send out hotel marketing material, had been dormant for years.

Shifting focus

The Clinton campaign has been furiously pressing the FBI to provide details onthenewtroveofemails,whichComey said may or may not be significant in the case.Littleispubliclyknownyetaboutthe emails, other than that they were found during an unrelated probe into Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

In an effort to shift the focus back to Trump’s vulnerabilities, the Clinton campaign released a provocative new ad raising the specter of a possible nuclear war if Trump is elected president. Clinton emphasized the message that Trump has a bad temper and an overly cavalier attitude toward nuclear weapons at rallies in the battleground state of Ohio on Monday.

The FBI spent a year investigating Clinton’s use of a private email server, instead of government systems, while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. Comey concluded in July that while Clinton and her staff had been “extremely careless” in handling classified information, there were no grounds for any charges.

Comey has said he released more information about the investigation

than is typical because of election year sensitivities.

“If Director Comey was so concerned about how information would be handled and about the reputation of the FBI, why did he release this letter that was full of innuendo and absolutely no facts?” Mook said on CNN, referring to Comey’s letter to members of Congress on Friday.

The New York Times also assailed Comey, accusing him in an editorial in its Tuesday edition of sending “a brief, inscrutable, election-shaking letter” in a “breathtakingly rash and irresponsible decision.”

The FBI announcement 11 days before the Nov. 8 presidential election blindsided Clinton, who had extended her lead over Trump in opinion polls after the release last month of a 2005 video in which the Republican bragged in vulgar terms about groping women.

Opinion polls show Clinton’s lead has narrowed slightly since early last week. It was not known if the email controversy would hurt her support.

Clinton held a 5-point lead over Trump in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday, supported by 44 percent of likely voters, compared with Trump at 39 percent.

Dems sue Trump over voter intimidation tactics

By Andy Sullivan Reuters

WASHINGTON – Democratic Party officials sued Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in four battleground states on Monday, seeking to shut down a poll-watching effort they said was designed to harass minority voters in the Nov. 8 election.

In lawsuits filed in federal courts in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona and Ohio, Democrats argued that Trump and Republican Party officials were mounting a “campaign of vigilante voter intimidation” that violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act and an 1871 law aimed at the Ku Klux Klan.

“Trump has sought to advance his campaign’s goal of ‘voter suppression’

by using the loudest microphone in the nation to implore his supporters to engage in unlawful intimidation,” the Ohio Democratic Party wrote in a legal filing. Similar language was used in the other lawsuits.

The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Since August, Trump has urged his supporters to monitor polling locations on Election Day for signs of possible voting fraud, often urging them to keep a close eye on cities like Philadelphia and St. Louis that have high minority populations.

Campaigning in Ohio, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Trump was hoping to discourage people from participating in the election.

“His whole strategy is to suppress the vote. Lots of noise. Lots of distractions,” Clinton said in Cleveland.

Democrats are also trying to stop the Republican National Committee from working with the Trump campaign or state parties on poll monitoring, arguing in a separate case that a long-standing court order prevents the national party organization from engaging in “ballot security” measures.

In a motion filed on Monday in that case, the RNC said it was not involved in poll watching but was working to support Trump in other areas. “That is evidence of politics, not wrongdoing,” the RNC said.

Many states allow campaigns and political parties to monitor balloting,

although they often face restrictions.

In Pennsylvania, for example, poll watchers must be formally certified by the local election board and must be registered voters in the county where they are working. The state Republican party has sued to remove those restrictions.

With early voting under way, civil rights groups have said they have heard isolated reports of self-described poll monitors photographing voters and engaging in other intimidating behavior.

Democrats also sued Republican operative Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally who is organizing an exit-polling effort. Democrats said the true purpose of the project, called Stop the Steal, was to intimidate

minority and urban voters.

Stone told Reuters that his project was designed to ensure that electronic voting machines were working properly.

On Stop the Steal’s website, Stone says Clinton’s Democrats “intend to flood the polls with illegals. Liberal enclaves already let illegals vote in their local and state elections and now they want them to vote in the Presidential election.”

Stone said the 1,400 people across the United States who volunteered for the project had been instructed to use neutral language and only approach people after they had voted.

“Since we are only talking to voters after they have voted, how can we be intimidating them?” Stone said.

Yes, Tammy Duckworth’s family has served in the military for centuries

By Derek Kravitz ProPublica

During a debate last week, Illinois Republican Sen. Mark Kirk mocked the heritage of his opponent, Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, whose mother is from Thailand.

After Duckworth said, “My family has served this nation in uniform going back to the Revolution,” Kirk responded: “I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.” (Amid outrage over the comments, Kirk apologized to Duckworth via Twitter.)

As an exercise for some students, I decided to show how various records could easily be accessed to explore Duckworth’s oft-repeated line that her family has fought in every major conflict since the American Revolution.

First off: The records suggest that not only is Duckworth right but that her ancestors fought in early colonial conflicts since before the Revolution.

Genealogical records from Ancestry.com show that Duckworth’s father’s ancestors

emigrated from Britain to America in the mid–17th century and that Duckworths have served in every major conflict since then. (The namesakes of Kirk, her Republican opponent, arrived from Ireland and Scotland sometime in the mid–18th century and served in the American Revolution and, later, for the Union in the Civil War.) Duckworth’s direct ancestors likely served in county militias during the French and Indian War, according to militia rosters from the time. And two of her fifth great grandfathers served for the Continental Army during the American Revolution.

In the early 1800s, one of Duckworth’s fifth great-grandfathers, Aaron Duckworth, received 50 acres of land in western Maryland that was exclusively designated for Continental Army volunteers, according to turn-of-thecentury copies of the Cumberland Times and the 1800 federal Census. As part of the deal, commissioned officers received four plots of land; privates just one. Aaron Duckworth’s plot was situated alongside Georges Creek in what

is now Garrett County, Maryland.

His actual military record is lost, but he appears to have been a private during the war, according to Duckworth family researchers who have combed through Allegany County court records from the time.

To boot, Tammy Duckworth’s brother, Thomas, served in the U.S. Coast Guard for eight years; her husband, Bryan Bowlsbey, is still active in the Illinois National Guard; and Duckworth’s late father, Marine Corps Capt.

Franklin Garthwright Duckworth, served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

A final note: One of Duckworth’s other fifth great-grandfathers, Elijah Anderson, served as a private in a Virginia militia during the Revolutionary War. Anderson doesn’t appear to have personally served under George Washington, but his commanding officer was Washington’s second cousin.

Energy & Environment

Electricity game changers: Cleaner, greener, decentralized

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

H

oward Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, indicates that technological changes developed in the United States when applied globally will help save the world. He cited multiple examples of game changing applications in wireless technologies over the last 20 years that have changed how we live, work and play and envisions a similar rapid change in the electrical sector from implementing wind, solar and efficiency into electric markets.

The changes will occur if the right policies exist to drive energy markets and potential barriers can be overcome. We know how to build energy efficient buildings and power them with wind and solar energy. But widespread rapid implementation can be slowed by opposing economic interests.

A game changing system in the electricity sector will enable us to have a cleaner, greener and more decentralized system. Such a transition represents an opportunity to solve the climate problem which is the moral, business, economic, policy, political and technological challenge of our generation.

Learner described the work of the ELPC as driving policies that shift markets and help align economies in combination with technological innovations which can achieve powerful environmental and climate change solutions going forward.

Agreements reached in Copenhagen 21 have aligned the U.S. and China and nearly 200 developed and developing nations to cut carbon emissions to avoid exceeding a 2o Celsius global temperature

increase. Consideration is being given to setting a limit of 1.5o Celsius. Funding was created to assist countries in making a transition to cleaner energy sources.

Electrical consumption in the US has dropped. In the ComEd service area electrical sales have fallen 4 percent over the last three years. The reduced demand occurred despite an increase in electrical devices, modest economic growth and 100,000 new customers. It is attributed to ongoing improvements in the efficiency of

appliances and electric motors.

Changes have also occurred in the energy sources used to generate electricity. Production from coal has fallen and nuclear output remains flat while the use of natural gas and renewable energy, especially wind energy, have increased.

Exelon’s Board of Directors decided to close the nuclear plants in the Quad Cities and Clinton as they are no longer economically competitive. However, they did introduce a legislative proposal to keep the plants open by securing a subsidy

from ratepayers to make them profitable.

Learner sees wind, solar and efficiency as being as disruptive to the electricity industry as cell phones were to landlines. He pointed out that when faced with competition, however, AT&T did not seek a subsidy to protect its landline phone business from cell phone competition.

He went on to point out that over the last 15 years Midwest wind capacity increased over 25 times from 750 MW to 25,000 MW and

will continue to expand. Solar electricity is following a similar growth curve. In 2009 an installed solar system cost over $7 per watt; this year costs should fall to $2 per watt depending on the size of the system. Panel efficiency continues to improve at a rate of 1 percent to 1.5 percent per year.

A similar story is unfolding with battery storage since the costs have already fallen 75 percent as more companies have entered the competition.

Gains in energy efficiency to continue to grow. An ELPC study projects that between 2016 and 2023 increase in LED lighting in Chicago will result in a 7 percent reduction in electrical demand without considering reductions from efficiency improvements.

As consumption continues to fall and cleaner energy sources such as wind and solar are available at lower prices, pollution will be reduced as will the need for centralized production facilities.

A combination of smart policies and technological innovations will continue to drive energy markets and help change the world both globally and locally.

Learner concludes: Continue with the work of the IREA, install energy efficiency and solar and wind systems in your buildings and encourage your friends, relatives and neighbors to do likewise to help save the planet.

This is a shortened and modified version of the speech given by Howard Learner at the 2016 Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair which we believe honors the essence of his presentation. Minor direct quotes have been left in without marks to allow it to be more readable.

Why you should know about Brovember VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Because of the popular trend of Movember and No-shave November: facial hair has become synonymous with the month of November and bringing national attention to men’s prostate cancer. Rockford has been home base to its own Brovember Beard-A-Thon fundraiser since the fall of 2012.

Brovember Inc. has become a charitable organization that gives participants an opportunity to ditch the shaving routine and get in touch with their inner Grizzly Adams during the month of November. Founder Dave Armstrong started with the idea for a beard-a-thon after meeting a man who was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. When his cancer went into remission, his hair came back. But, it was growing everywhere except his face. What started with Mr. Armstrong’s original idea of the Beard-A-

Thon has turned into so much more.

Through the gracious support and involvement of the University Of Illinois College Of Medicine at Rockford staff, Brovember Inc. is continuing to grow and widen their reach.

We will be funding the local Prostate Cancer Research Program here in Rockford. We have created the Brovember US Student Research Scholarship Fund! They recognize that we need smart and driven individuals to study cancer so we can fight back against it. We would like to extend a thank you to Dr. Munirathinam, Dr. Tyrkus, and Dr. Ramaswamy for their help in making this possible to give back to our community.

The Beard-A-Thon was the beginning for this organization, and it has been going strong since 2012. Bearded participants can go online and create their own “Bro Fund Me” page at Brovembercentral.com and start collecting donations. Beards are to be grown from November 1 to November 30. Make sure to take before and after photos so your picture can be on the Go-Bro wall at Downtown Barbers Shave Club and North Park Barbershop.

Activists snap up bobcat hunting licenses Several people who have applied for bobcat hunting licenses have no intention of hunting the animals.

With the beginning of Illinois’ first bobcat hunt in decades beginning Nov. 10, multiple news outlets are reporting anonymous animal activists bragging about how they received one of the 500 coveted licenses and have no intention to hunt. People have posted pictures of their bobcat hunting license on social media, saying they’re “saving one life.”

Illinois Department of Natural Resources spokesman Tim Schweizer said they will simply sell more next year.

“If the harvest target should fall short, the department could just opt to issue more permits

next year and in years going forward until we reach that harvest goal.”

Schweizer said they aren’t short on applicants. The state had 6,416 applications to take down a bobcat, over 1,000 more willing hunters than bobcats in the state.

“Here in Illinois, we don’t check to see what your interest is in applying for that permit,” Schweizer said. Schweizer said that of all who have applied for a $6 permit, 98 percent were existing IDNR customers, implying that the number of activists getting licenses was small.

Southern Illinois lawmaker Charlie Meier, R-Okawville, said bobcats in his county need to be kept from overpopulating like other carnivorous animals have.

“This is a mechanism to keep from having another population explosion as what’s happened with the coyotes,” Meier said. “(The activists) are going to allow the population to explode and damage other populations in the environment.”

The bobcat population is estimated to be around 5,000 in Illinois. They were listed as protected from 1972 to 1999. Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into legislation a bill allowing an annual bobcat hunt in an effort to control the population from unbalancing the state’s ecosystem.

The Humane Society of the U.S. called the bill “completely unnecessary” and said that there is no risk of bobcats overpopulating Illinois

again soon. The group also raised concerns over hunting practices of the wild cats.

“Because bobcats are only killed for a trophy or to sell their fur, this commercializes the entire species and deprives Illinoisans of the opportunity to enjoy and experience that animal,” said the Humane Society’s Director of Wildlife Protection Sam Hagio.

There is currently a bill in Springfield that would make the sale of a bobcat pelt captured in Illinois a petty offense.

The official bobcat season starts on Nov. 10 and runs through January, with the trapping season beginning in the northern region on Saturday and Nov. 10 in the south.

Veterans Drop-In Center to hold 5K

Rockford’s Veterans Drop-In Center will hold its fourth annual Veteran’s 5K Run and Walk on Saturday. The 9 a.m. race begins and ends near Sportscore I at Veteran’s Memorial Park, 1288 Elmwood Drive.

All proceeds benefit the Veterans Drop-In Center located at 1539 S. Fourth Street in Rockford. This year’s event is expected to draw more than 500 runners.

“The run started out three years ago with

about 100 runners and has grown to become one of the more popular runs in the fall season for the Rockford area running community,” Veterans 5K Run and Walk Race Director Lois Shores said.

The center offers a free location for veterans to drop in on weekdays, 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. A dinner is served every evening for the guests, many of which are homeless. The Veterans Drop-In Center offers several other conveniences such as haircuts, a pool table, television and lounge area, and on-site meetings and programs with on-site meetings with VA and Vet Center representatives.

Unique from other area 5Ks, the Veterans 5K Run/Walk has a military theme running throughout the event - from a shotgun start to the race, to winners receiving dog tags instead of standard race medals. Veterans and military members will be in uniform to cheer on the runners, who are all encouraged to wear their red, white and blue for the 3.2 mile hike.

Media members as well as runners are encouraged to join our area vets on Saturday morning for the 5K. The cost to enter the race is $25 in advance and $10 for children 14 and under. Prizes will be awarded for top three male and female runners in 17 different age divisions, and there will also be prizes for the top overall Veterans who compete. There is a discount for Rockford Roadrunners and Rockford Wildcats. Register online at www. veteransdropincenter.com, or contact race director Lois Shores at lshores2922@gmail. com For more information about the drop-in center, visit veteransdropincenter.com/ or contact Veterans Drop-In Center Director Pat Ambrose at 815-713-8843.

Ogle County offers single-stream recycling

Tuesday, November 15 is America Recycles Day and is a day to remind us of the benefits of recycling. Recycling is good for our environment and economy in several ways.

Recycling prevents valuable materials from being buried with waste in a landfill where they will sit for many generations. Recycling also means that natural resources do not have to be relied on as much to make new products, and it is cheaper to rely on recycled material than to harvest new raw materials.

The recycling industry also provides many jobs throughout our country.

The OCSWMD provides “single-stream” recycling bins in the following locations: Rochelle (Big R lot), Byron (Forest Preserve District Land Use Maintenance lot), Oregon (Farm Bureau lot), Monroe Center (Mulford Rd at RR tracks), and Forreston (Ash St. near Public Works Bldg.). There is also a bin in Polo (Franklin & Locust St.) provided by Moring Disposal and a bin provided by Advanced Disposal Service at the Orchard Hills Landfill in Davis Junction. These bins are for use by residents who do not have curbside pick-up of recyclables, and are not intended for business use.

Single-stream recycling means that all accepted recyclables mentioned below are placed into a single container and transported all together, and are separated out later at a facility called a Materials Recovery Facility, or MRF. This process allows more to be transported in each vehicle or container, and more to be recycled, however, it has also led to increased problems with contamination. Single-stream recycling doesn’t mean everything can go into the bin, it means all allowable items can be mixed together.

Accepted items are placed into the bin together (single-stream) and includes

13

newspaper, magazines, junk mail, cardboard, giftwrap, greeting cards, office paper, construction paper, phone books, paperboard containers, glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel food and beverage cans, and plastic containers #1-5 and #7. Please flatten cardboard boxes before placing them into the bin and crush plastic jugs and replace caps to conserve space in the bin. There is a push-stick at most locations to make more space in the bin.

Please place only listed items in the recycling bins and do not place items on the deck or in parking lots. Items routinely observed in the bins that are not acceptable include pizza boxes, plastic bags, shredded paper, Styrofoam packaging, and paper plates.

Other unacceptable items dumped this year in or near the bins include electronics, bread makers, chicken wire, carpet, shower doors, exterior doors, fans, fish tanks, landscape waste, gas tanks, fire extinguishers, pool filters, tarps, coffee pots, pillows, clothing, shoes, furniture, fish ponds, plastic toys and playsets, piping, lumber, steel posts, a toilet, household garbage, paint, and mattresses.

Illegal dumping in or around the bins is unsightly, creates litter, adds cost to the program, and jeopardizes use of the properties and the future of the program. Cameras have been installed at some of the sites to try to identify and cite illegal dumpers. Remember: if in doubt, leave it out!

Recycling is just part of a three-pronged approach to limit waste and help our environment. Remember to reduce, re-use, and recycle to limit what we send to the landfill, help our economy, and our environment.

For more information about single-stream recycling and other recycling programs in Ogle County, call the OCSWMD at 815-7324020 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., or visit oglecounty.org.

United States Senator Incumbent U.S. Senator Mark Kirk has never been one to eschew his own party’s leadership, bucking Republican standards to score political points. But therein lies the problem: Kirk does this because he’s a Republican in a Democratic state, not out of principle.

Setting aside his wavering ideals, Kirk’s health and fitness to serves remains a question after suffer-

ing a stroke in January 2012. The man who replaced our current president in the Senate has since moved from one embarrassing gaffe to the next. At times, it seems he only opens his mouth to put the other foot in, as with his, “I had forgotten that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington,” comment to Democratic challenger Tammy

Duckworth at last week’s debate (see Page 6).

Kirk is no longer fit to serve as one of Illinois’ two Senators.

Duckworth, for all baying to the contrary from the GOP, will act much the same in the legislature: pragmatic, middle of the road, pro-veteran. Vote Tammy Duckworth for U.S. Senate.

Campaign ads blast her opponent, Democrat and current Clerk for the City of Chicago Susana Mendoza, as being prone to politicking herself.

But Mendoza used to be a state legislator, and therefore a politician.

The state’s comptroller is supposed to pay the bills on time, within the

framework of the law, and without the specter of an lingering budget battles in mind.

Munger, in being willing to do Rauner’s dirty work, has failed the citizens of Illinois. Vote Susana Mendoza for Comptroller.

State Comptroller Leslie Munger has self-identified as Bruce Rauner’s “right-hand” in the first term governor’s failed executive. For a position that should remain party-neutral, Munger has time and again waded into the fray to toss the political football around some herself.

Representative, 17th U.S. Congressional District Democrat Cheri Bustos has served the 17th District admirably since being elected to the House for the first time in 2012. She has lent her name to legislation that is crucial to continued growth of the Rockford area and its surrounding communities.

Partick Harlan, her challenger, is a Tea Party Republican who’s four years too late to the party.

His ideas consist of what passes

for modern neoconservatism in a political climate fueled by talking points. His boilerplate values are summed up as such on his campaign website: “Stop Radical Islamic Terrorism; Support the second amendment; Strong National Defense; Limited Government; Term limits on congress; Support law enforcement” [sic]. Amid a slew of quotes from various American

historical icons scattered about his website, he presents no plans to succeed in any of those ventures.

While we have no doubt that Harlan is a hard working man with the best interests of his district and his country at heart, that does not make him a viable candidate for office. Vote Cheri Bustos for 17th District U.S. Representative.

every Spring.

So, the question voters have to ask is what change represents to them. A voter in the 68th or 69th District who wants change in Illinois cannot inflict it in other districts, unless they want to cut a check for political campaigns.

(Which, really, is that actually change? More campaign dollars?)

They have to decide if the people who currently represent them can acutely affect change at their behest, or if that authority needs to be transfered to a new set of hands.

And given the dismal approval ratings for the General Assembly, the question almost seems rhetorical.

If you think Cabello and Sosnowski can bring about the change Illinois needs, then continue to vote for them. But, if you’re like us and thing change needs to come to Springfield, vote for their challengers Tricia Sweeney and Angelique Bodine, respectfully.

County Board Where does one even begin with the current Winnebago County Board? Omnishambles might be under-performing in describing its work over the past two years.

This year, we have four contested races on the ballot: three head-toheads and one that will take a write in. We’ll work down the line.

• Republican Dave Fiduccia has a write-in challenger in local on-air radio personality Kevin McCarthy.

Now, typically that would be enough to stop this conversation right away, but Fiduccia has been a do-nothing obstructionist on the board. McCarthy has garnered endorsements from Sheriff Gary Caruana, Durand Village President

Gary L. Huaghton, former county board member Frank Gambino, and more.

“I decided to run as a write-in candidate because I feel the voters need a choice in this upcoming election,” says McCarthy. He’s right, voters do, and those voters in District 11 should write Kevin McCarthy’s name in on their ballot for the county board.

• Fred Wescott is the incumbent Republican in District 17; Democrat David Soll has become a serial thorn in his side. To put it bluntly, Wescott is symptomatic of the ills that face the county. Soll is that “change” candidate we need on the board, perhaps even more

so than McCarthy. We say vote for both. Elect David Soll to the county board for the 17th District.

• In Districts 18 and 19, we say stick with what has worked. Both Democrat Dorothy Redd, D-18, and Republican John Guevara (ballot listed on next page), D-19, has shown themselves as capable and effective members of the board.

As Winnebago County works to move past an era of corruption, Redd and Guevara are candidates their districts can rely on to help lead the way. Vote Democrat Dorothy Redd in District 18 and Republican John Guevara in District 19.

property tax proposals in the North Park Fire Protection District and Shirland Township, respectfully; and the last is a 1 percent sales tax measure for the Village of Roscoe to be spent on public infrastructure.

The property tax questions we feel are best left to the persons affected, which none on our editorial panel are. Bonds as a general rule we avoid, and the

$44,000,000 issue in Hononegah to replace the deflated bubble seems horribly misguided. The 1 percent sales tax is Roscoe we would advise in favor of. Infrastructure improvements should not be mortgaged via bonds, as the City of Rockford has shown. Pay for that work now, and control how you pay for it with a reliable revenue stream.

The rest of the ballot The remainder of this year’s ballot follows on the next page.

It includes a simple Yes/No on three current circuit court judges; three names for the County Forest Preserve to fill three positions; and a handful of propositions for various communities.

Two proposals involve bond issues for the Hononegah and Winnebago school districts; two are

Election 2016

The future of the Supreme Court matters for workers

By Michele Gilman

D

The Conversation

onald Trump touts that as president he would be good for American workers.

Although many of his plans are vague or possibly harmful, there is one clear outcome of a Trump presidency: with the power to appoint Supreme Court justices, Trump promises to continue a conservative majority.

We usually think of the Supreme Court in terms of what it means for abortion rights, marriage equality and the Second Amendment. At the third presidential debate, that’s what we heard.

Trump vowed to appoint justices in the mold of the late Antonin Scalia who would be hostile to Roe v. Wade and bolster gun rights.

Hillary Clinton said her nominees would support women’s rights, marriage equality and reverse Citizens United.

The candidates did not, however, address the Supreme Court’s substantial impact on the workplace – an impact that’s often ignored amid these hot-button issues.

Almost five decades of a conservative Court majority have sharply limited the rights of workers to unionize, form class actions and fight discrimination. The results have been profound and help explain the deterioration of the working class and the rise of economic inequality in recent decades.

The court is now in a 4-4 split between liberal and conservative justices. The Senate’s refusal to confirm President Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Scalia means it’s likely the next occupant of the Oval Office will get to pick who fills that seat – and possibly several more. That will determine the kind of court Americans have for years or even decades to come.

Conservative appointments by a President Trump would likely continue the decimation of workplace justice, particularly collective efforts to improve working conditions and pay.

As I have documented, a look back at some of the court’s recent rulings shows how.

Killing off the class action

Take the case of Wal-Mart v. Dukes.

In 2001, past and present female workers of Wal-Mart sued the company for paying and promoting them less than their male counterparts. The workers joined together to file a class action – a legal procedure that makes it possible for relatively small claims to be aggregated so that plaintiffs can afford to bring a case. They are also far more efficient for our judicial system than hearing scores of similar claims separately.

Yet in 2011, Justice Scalia wrote the opinion for a 5-4 majority that Wal-Mart was essentially too big to sue. Scalia said the plaintiff ’s claims lacked a common basis and scoffed at the notion that Wal-Mart’s discretionary pay and promotion system could result in company-wide discrimination.

In dissent, Justice Ruth Ginsburg countered that discrimination is most likely to flourish in discretionary systems like Wal-mart’s due to stereotyped assumptions that managers make about female employees, even unconsciously.

As a result of the ruling, the effectiveness of the class action tool in employment cases has been reduced.

Then, in 2016, the court – without Justice Scalia – declined to expand Wal-Mart v. Dukes (in a 6-2 vote) by resisting an employer’s bid to disallow statistical evidence in all class actions.

In that case, employees at a Tyson pork processing plant used statistics to establish the amount of time they were not paid for taking on and off their protective gear. Statistical sampling was necessary because Tyson failed to keep accurate time records. The analysis showed that employees spent an average of 18 to about 21 minutes on this task, depending on their job duties. This additional time made some employees eligible for overtime pay.

As a result of the case, the use of statistics in class action cases will continue to be hotly litigated.

Eroding the right to organize

In the past, one of the key ways workers have improved their pay and working conditions is by forming a union.

Indeed, collective bargaining is associated with a wage premium of 13.6 percent, compared with workers who aren’t covered by such an agreement. Conversely, the ongoing decline in union membership is a key factor in growing economic inequality, depressing wages of union and non-union members alike.

The Supreme Court has helped accelerate that decline. In 2014, the court struck down a 2003 law granting home health care workers in Illinois who are paid by Medicaid the right to collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions.

Justice Samuel Alito concluded for the 5-4 majority that the First Amendment prohibited the state from requiring these workers to pay union dues. In so doing, he circumvented years of precedent upholding union dues for public employees as necessary to prevent free-riding by non-members and to give the state a single entity for negotiating purposes.

In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan described the labor instability that would result from the court’s ruling. She also noted evidence that collective bargaining helped the workers

double their wages, obtain health insurance and receive better training and enhanced workplace safety. Those benefits could vanish without collective bargaining, harming not only the workers but also the elderly and disabled people for whom they care.

Scalia’s sudden death in February ended up giving unions a reprieve in another important case involving the constitutionality of requiring public workers to pay their fair share of union dues, even if they aren’t a member. That case, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, was heard in January, with a skeptical Scalia in attendance, but in March the Court issued a 4-4 decision that left a lower court’s decision upholding such fees intact.

Split decisions mean whatever ruling immediately preceded the hearing before the Supreme Court stands but doesn’t create a precedent. This issue will arise again, and, obviously, the next justice will tilt the balance.

Health care and religious belief

Health care is another area where a slim conservative majority has rolled back worker protections.

In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., Hobby Lobby and other privately held employers objected on religious grounds to paying for certain forms of legally mandated contraceptive coverage for millions of employees and their dependents. The court in 2014 upheld the employers’ religious claims in a 5-4 ruling.

In so doing, the court privileged the religious beliefs of business owners against the health care needs of employees. The decision overturned part of the Affordable Care Act – a law passed through our democratic process with an express purpose of expanding preventative care for women and reducing gender inequities in the cost of care.

The connection between access to contraception and the economic success of women is clear cut. To succeed in education and in the workplace, women need the ability to

control the timing and size of their families.

The Hobby Lobby ruling expresses a robust view of equality for corporations but none for women. It might spread to other areas as well.

As Justice Ginsburg asked: “Suppose an employer’s sincerely held religious belief is offended by health coverage of vaccines, or paying the minimum wage, or according women equal pay for substantially similar work?”

The Obama Administration approved accommodations for religious employers to avoid paying for employees’ contraceptive coverage directly. All they had to do was fill out a form, and, under the accommodation, insurers would pay for it instead.

Some non-profit religious employers objected to even that and took their claim to the Supreme Court earlier this year.

Apparently at an impasse and without a ninth justice, the court sent the government and the religious employers back to the drawing board to find a solution. Thus, it remains unresolved – for now – whether the Obama Administration’s accommodation on birth control coverage is lawful. And once again, who fills Scalia’s seat will likely determine whether such coverage remains a part of Obamacare for employees of religious employers.

The Supreme Court matters

These are just a few of the more significant cases of recent years in which a slim conservative majority has rolled back worker rights.

It’s likely that these issues will continue to be fought in the courts and find their way to the Supreme Court, along with many others.

Simply put, a Trump-appointed Justice is far more likely, in my view, to rule against workers than a Clinton nominee.

Whatever impact his other policies would have on the working class, it is clear his appointments for the highest court in the land would hurt workers and make it that much harder for them to join together to fight for their rights.

Commentary

By Rich Miller

TV ads as far as the eye can see

Capitol Fax

D

uring any given campaign season, one or maybe two state legislative campaigns wind up running ads on Chicago broadcast television stations. But in the age of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s gigantic campaign contributions, it may be easier to count the number of Chicago-area candidates who aren’t running any city broadcast ads.

State Rep. Michael McAuliffe, R-Chicago, started the trend by airing Chicago broadcast TV ads at the beginning of August—an act completely without precedent in the General Assembly. Chicago broadcast ads are so expensive that campaigns usually don’t start airing them until mid to late October.

The ads are also incredibly inefficient. The Chicago media market has about 7.9 million people aged 12 or over, as measured by the ratings companies.

Four years ago, during the last presidential cycle, a total of 38,748 votes were cast in McAuliffe’s race. So, when McAuliffe and other House candidates air these ads, they’re aiming them at only about half a percentage point of the entire media market. It’s actually much lower than that because most people have already made up their minds by now. So, it’s like using a hydrogen bomb to kill a tiny gnat.

Just last week, the cash-rich Republicans went up on Chicago broadcast TV in five legislative races: Rod Drobinski vs. Rep. Sam Yingling, D-Grayslake, who also made a broadcast buy late last week; Rep. Chris Winger, R-Wood Dale vs. Cynthia Borbas, who has been up on Chicago broadcast for a little while with an ad blasting Winger for her social conservatism; Rep. David Olsen, R-Downers Grove, who is fending off a late cable TV buy from Greg Hose; Steve Reick, who’s up against John Bartman, who just launched cable ads in retiring McHenry County Democratic Rep. Jack Franks’ district; and Michelle Smith vs. Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, who is also on Chicago broadcast.

Keep in mind, those are just the latest to air the ads. Plenty of others were already on Chicago broadcast.

Both candidates in the Rep. Kate Cloonen, D-Kankakee, race have been airing broadcast TV, as have both in Democratic Rep. Andy Skoog’s LaSalle County-area race and both in Democratic Sen. Tom Cullerton’s DuPage County contest, as well as Rep. McAuliffe’s opponent Merry Marwig, among others.

And it’s not just the two parties airing the spots. Dan Proft says his Liberty Principles PAC is currently airing Chicago broadcast ads on behalf of six Republicans.

And it’s not just happening in Chicago.

St. Louis broadcast TV has also been a relative rarity for legislative campaign ads.

Heck, many statewide candidates forgo advertising in St. Louis because of its high cost-to-benefit ratio.

Rep. Dwight Kay, R-Glen Carbon, has been running ads on St. Louis TV for several weeks, and the Democrats just started airing

ads there for Rep. Dan Beiser, D-Alton, to match his Republican opponent Mike Babcock’s buy. The Democrats also started running St. Louis ads for Mike Mathis against Rep. Avery Bourne, R-Raymond.

“It’s crazy,” said one Metro East pal about the flood of St. Louis ads. “I want to throw something at the TV.” Head up the Mississippi River and you’ll see broadcast TV ads in the Quad Cities for and against Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale. Like in St. Louis, most people who watch Quad Cities television stations don’t live in Illinois.

Then head as far south in Illinois as you can go and Rep. John Bradley, D-Marion, is reportedly pushing a completely unheard of 3,900 gross ratings points on TV stations in and near his district. Generally, if you want half your targeted audience to see an ad three times, you’ll “push” 150 ratings points. Do the math. Bradley must be advertising 24 hours a day on every program.

The Republicans, by the way, estimated last week that they’ve pushed 5,000 points statewide on their anti-House Speaker Michael Madigan message.

But are any of these ads working this late in the game?

Last week, a friend of mine who doesn’t watch much broadcast television said he was watching “Chicago’s Very Own” WGN and texted me the ads as they popped up on his TV: “Anti-Yingling, pro-Duckworth, anti-Mendoza, anti-Skoog, anti-Yingling (again), anti-Cloonen. All back-to-back in a single commercial break.”

A few minutes later, he texted: “Hey back to commercials! Anti-Bartman, anti-Cullerton. Anti-Trump/Rauner (new from LIFT).

What is this! An ad for Target. Like, a real ad for buying cheap [stuff]. Refreshing.”

“Seriously,” he texted, “it was just one big jumble. Nothing could break through this.

And if you were getting 20 pieces of mail?

Shoot me now.”

Letter to the Editor

Nelson playing loose with my proposals: Haney

M

y opponent John Nelson and his handlers (among them is previous failed chairman candidate Paul Gorski) continue to misrepresent my position on the Great Lakes Basin Railroad (GLBRR). Add this to a long list of distortions and misrepresentations.

My concerns with GLBRR are backed-up by facts not fear-mongering and political cheap shots. Ultimately, I am confident this project will NOT go through because of flawed planning.

Specifically: 1) The proposed route contains considerable environmental concerns that will not be overlooked by environmental agencies and the federal review process.

2) The proposed route does not align with a number of local plans; including the Winnebago County 2020 plan.

3) Anytime eminent domain powers are used there must be a high level of scrutiny. In this instance, the impact is significant.

As these issues come into play during the

public process the viability of the proposed route will become more and more tenable. I do support local governments speaking out against this proposal but will not engage in lying about my opponent or politicizing this during the election process. Mr. Gorski has used this newspaper to pass on Mr. Nelson’s attacks and talking points, one of which appeared in this last edition of The Rock River Times. Mr. Gorski tried to suggest that my position on the GLBRR has changed or is somehow unclear without providing any examples. That’s because he has none.

For the record I posted the following two weeks ago: rankhaney.biz/2016/10/12/greatlakes-basin-railroad-project.

If you take the time to read this you will see that my position was, in fact, clear and that position has not changed.

In the meantime, I will continue to engage those impacted by this proposed plan. However, unlike my opponent who is desperate to not lose yet another election, I will not lure concerned citizens to an “informational

meeting” on GLBRR, turn it into a candidate-focused infomercial (not the issue at hand), refuse to let a newly-elected county board member address the crowd - a man deeply respected in the farming community, and shoot a campaign commercial for personal benefit. That well respected and newly elected county board member is Aaron Booker who I am happy to say supports my candidacy and my position on GLBRR. Bottom line: both my opponent and I oppose GLBRR. And, both my opponent and I are on record saying we are not opposed to rail in all instances. My opponent points to the need for passenger rail and I point to Rochelle as an example of how a community may benefit from rail when the planning is done correctly. Some may agree. Some may disagree.

But those are the facts. As this election comes to a close let’s hope we stick to the facts.

Frank Haney Republican Candidate, Winnebago County Chairman

Editor’s note: Questions about Haney’s departure from Harlem High School were raised by his opponent in a weekend blog. We asked Haney simply, “What happened at Harlem?”

This is his response: “I worked with some great kids and am forever grateful for my two years at Harlem as well as the colleges, high schools and even grade schools I coached at going back when I was 19-years-old. I completed two years of teaching and coaching at the school and, when a teaching position was not re-offered, I transitioned out of teaching despite having some other opportunities to continue in education.

“I pour my heart into everything I do and have enjoyed the dynamic nature of the private-sector. This move has allowed me to get deeply involved in community leadership the past decade which, in turn, has helped prepare me to be an effective chairman, (including roles at) RVC, Next Rockford, RAEDC, Carpenter’s Place, Transform Rockford, Strong Kid Campaign, and Sharefest.”

Experience, transparency question in chairman race

By Paul Gorski Contributor

I

am a proponent of transparency government: open meetings, financial disclosure, and stating one’s true intent. Politicians are expected to be more open than the average citizen, but we do not often get the openness we deserve.

To start this openness: I am an elected official, elected as a Democrat. I support Democrats most of the time, that said the late Pete Mackay, a Republican, was a good friend of mine, and I consider County Board Member Steve Schultz a good friend too.

And I am voting for Republican Bill Hinz for Coroner. He is simply the best qualified candidate in the race. I tend to vote for experience and qualifications and how truthful and honest a candidate is.

John Nelson is the most qualified candidate for County Board Chairman, having served in county, city and township government and managed his own small business law firm for over twenty years.

His opponent, Frank Haney has no experience in county, city or township government, and his employment history has gaps in it.

Meet John Doe

For candidate Haney campaigning almost solely on transparency, due to his lack of experience, his failure to mention his termination as a Harlem High School teacher brings into question his commitment to transparency. Newspaper reports from 2004 indicate Haney was approached by school board officials and asked to resign. Haney chose to resign from his coaching position but challenged his termination.

Harlem School Board minutes from March 29, 2004 indicate Haney attended the meeting to speak, I assume on his own behalf. The final board vote was to termi-

nate Frank Haney, Social Studies Teacher.

Haney lost his case and fails to mention this in most biographical summaries.

Haney’s only limited political experience is serving only three years of his term as Rock Valley College Trustee, resigning from that post this summer. Nelson thinks Haney resigned because of RVC’s financial problems. Might be, but I am more cynical and feel that his resignation from the RVC board comes too soon after the Rockford Register Star and RVC signed a deal where RVC is leasing office space from the struggling daily paper, with Haney trying to distance himself from the deal to give himself a better chance of an endorsement. I just ruined my shot for any future endorsement, oh well.

Nelson is calling for term limits and caps on political contributions from county vendors to tackle the perceived corruption we have in the county.

Haney on the other hand is taking a lot of money from current county vendors.

The last time I checked Haney had received about $42,000 from vendors doing business with the county. Why is that important?

Because those county vendors, collec-

tively, have received over $24 million in county business over the years. The long history of county vendors contributing to candidates’ campaign coffers is paying off very well for many of these vendors. Real or only perceived, that does not create an open playing field for prospective vendors.

Haney did not start this trend, but he could have ended it, and chose not too, where Nelson has a $1,000 cap on donations from county vendors.

As a contributor to this paper, I can not endorse candidates. Well, I kind of did when let my choice for Coroner known.

That said, you can tell where I am going with this. Experience, qualifications and transparency, use these as your guide in your vote for County Board Chairman.

When I asked the residents of Winnebago to do this in my races for County Board Chairman, many of you supported me. We were almost able to break the cycle of questionable leadership together. You have an opportunity now to break that long cycle. Break that painful cycle and vote for change.

Paul Gorski is a resident of Cherry Valley Township, Winnebago County and serves as a Cherry Valley Township Trustee.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: Many of you may have felt a disturbance in the force with the new moon this past weekend and are still trying to stabilize yourself from it during the course of this week. Tempers may flare or sensitive emotions emerge during this lunar cycle. Make sure you count to 10 before you react, by week’s end all will be aligned. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — It appears as though you may have bent the rules a bit in the recent past and now this is catching up to you. Try not to push a conflict over this matter or you may be biting off more than you can chew. Clear away any old outstanding debt and expect to be rewarded from the universe as a result of it, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— It’s in your best interest to stay out of a romantic squabble with friends or a family member during this lunar cycle. What appears to be on fire now will shortly cool off and you don’t want to be at the bottom of the woodpile stoking the flames. Finances begin to increase during this lunar cycle, set some money aside for a rainy day, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A sudden windfall is about to occur putting you in the driver’s seat emotionally and financially. You’re able to see exactly how this will affect those around you as well as yourself.

A humanitarian organization needs your assistance, donate your time and energy to this passionate cause, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Positive news arrives regarding the health of a loved one now. You can breathe a sigh of relief with this situation shortly. At last you have time to catch up with those friends and family members that have been on the back burner for a while. This will definitely bring in a fresh perspective to a recent stagnant energy.

You’re beginning to feel more like yourself again, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — You’ve pushed yourself to the limit and you need to rest now.

Allowing others to get involved in your personal affairs has not helped your intimate relationship much. You may not be aware of how the behind the scenes influences have created emotional damage. It may be time to have a heart-to-heart talk with a significant other. Let them know that you’re in their corner, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — This is a week where you are getting the other side of the story from a friend or family member. With all of the information you receive keep it close to your heart until you know exactly what to do with it. Some situations may call for a time out before

reacting. If you go off before you’ve had time to process this you will regret what may come out of your mouth, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Changes are guaranteed to create positive influences now in your personal life. Take the risk and don’t underestimate yourself and your abilities. You can call upon your charm and wit to make the most of this connection. This is a highly charged year filled with promise.

Make the most of this coming January’s opportunities, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — A recent connection with family and friends allowed you to learn a lot about yourself, as well as how much you have grown and developed over the years. Now you can utilize this newfound enlightenment to help others along their way. Your tactful words of encouragement ring true to another who admires you. You may have helped them more than you realize, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — If you feel as though you’ve been overworked and underpaid, take some time off to re-evaluate your long-term goals. Work smarter not harder during this lunar cycle.

A marketing strategy arrives from an associate that will improve the quality of your life in 2017. Be open and receptive for abundance in the months to come, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Be

very conscious of not appearing to favor one individual over another now. This aspect may be arriving through family, friends or a work situation. Others may be frustrated with you as a result of this action. If you’re not aware of it, you won’t understand why. This weekend should be full of romantic energy. This is a great time to spend a quiet evening at home, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Someone from your past will pop up quite unexpectedly at this time. This allows you the ability to see exactly how you got from point A to point B. Clarity is a blessing and allows you to grow and not remain stagnant. A work situation is about to make a change for the better.

An offer you can’t refuse will arrive shortly. Go for it, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Legal documents or financial situations appear to be favorable if you take a leap of faith at this time. A light-haired female has information for you that will clear up an old unresolved issue. You walk away from this feeling more confident than your previous emotional state. A new vehicle may be in the works for some of you. This is a choice, not a forced issue, Pisces.

Newsletter For The Friends & Supporters of MILESTONE, Inc.

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.

Voices from the Grave

History of Manny Mansion

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

The distinctive limestone house that sits on the west bank of the Rock River is best known today for being a part of the Burpee Museum of Natural History. The museum is a gem itself and is a must see for visitors and locals alike. While many visitors may come to see the dinosaurs and other remnants of creatures that lived here long ago, few may realize that the home attached to the museum is quite haunted.

The house was built in 1852 by John Coleman, who moved his family here from New York. The family lived in the house all the way through 1864, when John Coleman became ill and the decision was made to sell the house to John Pels Manny.

John Pels Manny’s family came from New York. He met and married Eunice Hicks in 1848.

By 1852, John had begun to work with his cousin John H. Manny to design reapers for wheat, and the decision was made to move to Rockford.

John’s family had begun to grow, and though the number of children born to the family by 1864 is unclear, the fact that most of them passed away quite young stands out.

The family moved into the lovely home and

improved the property. By 1867, Eunice had given birth to at least five children and lost all but the eldest boy, George. When their youngest daughter, Katie, was two, she contracted tuberculosis and died on February 16, 1867. It was said that Eunice’s heart broke with the death of yet another baby and she passed away a little over a month later, on March 23, 1867. John built a beautiful monument at Greenwood Cemetery to honor his family.

John P. continued to invent many different farm machines, and his contribution to the Manny reaper blades was monumental. He opened the John P. Manny Company with partners Elias Cosper and Melancthon Starr. John Pels eventually married a daughter of Melancthon, Florida Lucretia, in 1868.

The couple lived in the limestone house and had five children there. One of their little ones, Lucretia, also died young, only reaching oneyear-old before she passed away in 1872. John P.’s reaper business ran into financial issues in the 1880s, and the family sold the house to the Nelson family (of the Nelson Knitting Company fame) in 1889.

John Pels died in 1897. He was elected pres-

ident of the West Side Cemetery Association, which later become Greenwood Cemetery, in 1876 and served on the board until his death. His death was sudden and caused by typhoid, which came from drinking contaminated water at the cemetery one day while he was working there.

His death struck the Rockford community hard, and the newspapers were filled with tributes from his fellow businessmen.

Some of the museum staff claim to hear oldtime music playing, doors that open and close and lights that seem to go off and on without any reason. The most widespread claim is the small shadows seen that dart from room to room, especially on the second floor.

The Manny Mansion was one of the grandest homes in Rockford. The house was always very beautiful, but during the time the Manny family occupied it the house became the center of Rockford’s social scene. There were lavish parties thrown with orchestras on the lawn, carriages lining the lantern-lit driveway and the impressive guest lists. There were also beautiful weddings and several funerals conducted in the home through the years.

Psychics Paul Smith and Sara Bowker have worked with Haunted Rockford during these events and shared the impressions of the people that linger in the building. They have sensed the two Mrs. Manny’s. Each woman claims to be the true mistress of the house. The two wives are

aware of each other but never communicate.

But it is the children who are the strongest presences in the home. According to Smith and Bowker, the children run up and down the stairs, and their shadows are the ones that have been seen going from room to room. They like to play tricks on the staff by turning on and off lights and shutting or opening doors.

During one of the paranormal investigations, the name Nelly was picked up on an EVP. This claim was validated by researching the census records. The family had an eighteen-year-old servant girl named Nelly living with them in 1880.

John Pels and both of his wives, Eunice and Florida, loved their distinctive home on North Main Street and were very proud of it and their contributions to the Rockford community.

Some say the Manny family is still proud that the Burpee Museum of Natural History continues their legacy of serving families in Rockford and the surrounding area.

Haunted Rockford will be joined by Dale Kaczmarek of the Ghost Research Society to offer a Public Paranormal Investigation at two locations on Saturday, November 12 from 7-10 p.m. The investigation will begin in the Burpee Museum of Natural History and then rotate to the most haunted spots in the two houses: the Barnes and Manny Mansions. The price for the event is $40 per person and must be paid in advance. Visit the website at hauntedrockford.com for information.

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

E

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

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

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

This week, we look back at the first bridge that connected both sides of the Rock River at Rockford, and the struggle to see it completed.

Assessing the potential for higher corn prices

By Leanne Lucas U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The monthly average price of corn received by U.S. producers has been less than $4 per bushel for 27 consecutive months, and prices below $4 are expected to persist well into 2017. Even with reductions in the cost of producing corn, prices remain below levels that would result in positive returns for many producers. According to a University of Illinois agricultural economist, some combination of a reduction in corn supplies and increased consumption will be required in order for prices to move above $4 per bushel for an extended time.

“On the supply side, the USDA’s Crop Production report to be released on November 9 will contain a new forecast of the size of the 2016 U.S. corn crop,” says Darrel Good. “The previous history of yield forecast changes in November in years when the forecast declined in September and again in October, as was the case this year, shows very mixed results.”

In the previous 40 years, there were 10 years when the average yield forecast declined in September and October. The November forecast was below the October forecast in five

years, was unchanged in one year, and was above the October forecast in four years. As always, says Good, there are mixed expectations about the potential change in the forecast this year, with the average expectation leaning toward a small reduction from the October yield forecast of 173.4 bushels. Any change in the 2016 production forecast this month is not expected to be large enough to alter prices very much.

“The corn supply for the year ahead will also be influenced by production in the rest of the world, with special attention focused on the potential size of the South American crops,” Good notes. “Brazilian production declined from 3.35 billion bushels in 2015 to 2.64 billion bushels in 2016 due to late season drought.

Early season USDA projections are for production in 2017 to rebound to 3.29 billion bushels. In addition, Argentina is expected to expand corn area due to reductions in export taxes, with early season USDA projections showing a 2017 production increase of 335 million bushels. It’s too early in the growing season to assess yield potential, but production well below early projections would be required to push corn prices higher.”

Good says a more likely source of

a reduction in corn supply may be reduced corn acreage in the United States in 2017. Planted acreage increased about 6.5 million acres in 2016 and early expectations are for a 3 million-acre reduction in 2017 due to low corn prices and the high cost of producing corn relative to competing crops. Corn prices would be expected to get a boost if acreage is reduced enough to result in smaller stocks at the end of the 201718 marketing year. “Assuming a 3 million-acre reduction in harvested acreage and consumption during the 2017-18 marketing year near the 14.525 billion bushels projected for this year,” Good says, “the 2017 average yield would need to be below 173 bushels in order for year-ending stocks to be reduced from the 2.32 billion bushels projected for the current year. Under the acreage and consumption assumptions made here, a yield near trend value of 169 bushels would result in year-ending stocks of about 1.99 billion bushels.”

Higher corn prices might also be generated by stronger demand that would result in some combination of increased consumption and the willingness of end users to pay more for corn,” Good says. “Domestically, feed and residual use of corn is al-

ready projected to increase by nearly 9 percent this year. A larger increase seems unlikely based on current livestock inventories. In addition, the ability of livestock producers to pay a higher price for corn will be limited by current low livestock and livestock product prices. Corn used for ethanol production is projected to increase by only 1.3 percent this year.”

A larger increase might be generated by a continued expansion in gasoline consumption, larger ethanol exports, and a decline in the use of sorghum as a feedstock. Ethanol production was up about 4 percent in the first two months of the 2016-17 marketing year. The amount of corn used for ethanol production in September will be revealed in the USDA’s Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report to be released on November 1. It seems unlikely that corn used for ethanol production this year would exceed the current USDA projection by more than 100 million bushels.

At 2.225 billion bushels, U.S. corn exports are expected to be 327 million bushels (17 percent) larger than exports of a year earlier.

The increase primarily reflects the smaller Brazilian crop harvested earlier this year. Export inspections

through the first eight weeks of the current marketing year were 74 percent larger than inspections of a year earlier, and unshipped sales as of October 20 were 90 percent larger than outstanding sales of a year earlier. “However,” Good says, “it is misleading to judge export potential for the current year based on the pace of export sales and shipments relative to that of last year. U.S. exports started slowly in the 2015-16 marketing year and ended on a strong note due to the Brazilian production shortfall.

In contrast, the current rapid pace of exports is expected to slow as the year progresses if South American production rebounds.”

It appears unlikely that higher corn prices will be generated by a large reduction in the estimated size of the 2016 U.S. crop or stronger than projected demand for corn. “That leaves a smaller than expected South American crop or a much smaller U.S. crop in 2017 as the potential sources of higher prices. If South American production increases as projected,” Good concludes, “a large decline in U.S. acreage and/or a 2017 yield below trend value may be required to push the average corn price above $4 during the 2017-18 marketing year.”

Business Sense

African Americans and Latinos today’s fraud targets

By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

L

ast week, I attended a day long, annual Consumer Protection Conference in Madison, Wisc. It’s called “Common Ground” and is hosted, in part by, the Federal Trade Commission. Attending the meeting, along with representatives from Better Business Bureau offices in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan were representatives from Attorneys General offices across the Midwest. This year, there were also representatives from the NAACP, the Hmong American Peace Academy, and the League of United Latin American Citizens.

The entire morning was dedicated to addressing fraud and in particular how it impacts minority

communities. In 2015 an FTC Study revealed an estimated 10.8 percent of U.S. adults – roughly 25.6 million people – were victims of fraud.

That’s a huge number of people, but what is even more startling is, the study showed that African American and Latino consumers were more than twice as likely to become fraud victims than non-Hispanic whites. That conclusion is at best a guess… and that’s due mostly to the fact that problems/issues with fraud, in those communities are more than likely being under reported.

So – what’s happening? There are numerous scams that deliberately target minority communities. But, in reference to fraud, at the heart of the matter in the African American and Latino communities there is the need to work and generate

income. Fraudsters play to that, as an example, there are pyramid schemes, great job opportunities, or the chance to get in on ground floor with a business opportunity. Issues with debt are also open doors for certain scams; credit repair, debt relief schemes, mortgage relief fraud, and advance fee loans.

The study found, in the Latino community specifically, there is often a language barrier; taking advantage of that, and adding a healthy dose of fear the con artist has found this to be an effective way to quickly intimidate people – especially immigrants. They will impersonate a government official – threaten fines, arrest, or deportation and demand immediate payment.

The results also showed with African Americans there is no

language issue that show as an indicator of what fraud issues that community faces; but it did indicate economics is a factor.

Researchers, identified debt-related frauds as disproportionately affecting the community.

Individuals and companies target African Americans; advertising government-endorsed mortgage assistance programs, phony credit repair and debt relief scams.

As I mentioned earlier these crimes are being underreported by minority communities. Part of the reason it appears there is a general reluctance and embarrassment to report the fraud by filing a complaint.

Also it is very probable African American and Latino consumers distrust the government, think their complaints will not make a differ-

ence, have concerns about their immigration status, or they simply don’t know where to file a complaint.

What’s being done? Step one, the FTC working with partners like those attending the conference, is mounting a campaign to encourage people to talk about and report fraud in their communities. As I see it – talking about fraud helps people avoid being scammed.

The FTC also plans to step up its monitoring of advertising aimed at minority communities. And again working with its partners, the media, and law enforcement, they plan to increase consumer outreach and education in the African American and Latino communities.

Dennis Horton is Director of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau.

Insect management in apples

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

It seems counter-intuitive to be discussing apple insects at the end of a season.

You would want to know more about them during the season. However, as you are picking your apples, you may have started to see insect damage on the outside and even on the inside of the fruit.

In some years, Japanese beetles can be a major problem. The Brown Marmorated Stinkbug is an invasive insect that may become a serious concern in a couple of years. For our area, each season we are dealing with the main ones of plum curculio, apple maggot, and codling moth.

Plum curculio is in the weevil family that lays eggs into the apples as they develop. After laying eggs, the female will escape the apple by leaving behind an opening the shape of a half-moon. The larvae will then bore into the center, making a brown trail, and the fruit will drop to the ground. Plum curculio is most active when day and night temperatures reach 60 F. Management includes removing any dropped fruit.

Apple maggot overwinters as pupae in the soil and will emerge as a small fly

typically in July through the rest of summer. The female lays eggs into the apple where maggots will hatch then enter the soil. The damage on the apples will look like enlarged pricks. Your solutions for control include picking up fallen apples and potentially trapping them with red sticky spheres.

Codling moths lay their eggs on developing apples where the larvae hatch and chew an opening in the apple’s skin. This damage will look like small circles with a black halo around them. There are pheromone traps that do quite well in trapping the females. You also want to continue to remove any fallen apples.

As you think about your apple season, you may have fruit you’ve picked that shows insect damage. It’s important to realize that there is both prevention and chemical control. By using both, you may be able to control your insects much better for next season. Even now, removing any dropped fruit around your apple trees is a good practice for both insect and disease control.

Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

NHL

Busy week a good opportunity for Hawks

By Adam Hess Contributor

T

he Chicago Blackhawks had a relatively light workload in the month of October, playing just nine games in the season’s first three weeks and never more than three games in a single week. Despite that easier schedule, the Blackhawks still faced some early season struggles due in large part to the lack of productivity they got from some of their key players.

Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa have not quite hint the ground running the way many would’ve hoped, with Toews not finding the back of the net until last Sunday’s 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings, barely avoiding a goalless opening month. Patrick Kane is still at a point per game pace so far, with nine points in nine games, but even that

is a step back from his production rate of last season, and he’s only found the back of the net himself twice. As cliche as it sounds, in order to be successful, you need your best players on paper to be the best players on the ice, and so far that hasn’t been the case for the Blackhawks.

Despite their early season issues, though, the Blackhawks are still in a good place in terms of the standings, as they currently sit in third place in the Central Division with 11 points. While just nine games is far too early to even begin thinking about the playoff picture, points earned during the the early goings of the season can prove to be the difference later on in the year.

So, with the Blackhawks playing four games this week, three of which against Central Division opponents, the upcoming

week presents a big opportunity for the Blackhawks to create some valuable distance between themselves and the rest of the Division early on.

With games against the Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, and Dallas Stars (twice) this week, all of which are currently below the Blackhawks in the standings, and arguably are worse than the Blackhawks in terms of skill. It’s not unreasonable to expect the Blackhawks to win at least three of their four games this week.

Earning at least six points this week would be huge for the Blackhawks in terms of the standings, especially if they can pick up at

least one point in each of their three games against divisional their divisional opponents.

With Dallas especially considered by many as one of the strongest contenders to win the Stanley Cup this season, the Blackhawks creating that distance between themselves and their division opponents early on in the year could pay dividends later in the year and help them secure a better playoff position.

Again, it’s still too early to begin looking ahead to the playoffs, but it’s not to early to earn points that could be beneficial come that time. This week, the Blackhawks can do that in a big way.

he official definition of irony states: “the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.” When applied to situations in life, or in this case, football, irony shines in shattering all of our expectations.

Who could’ve known what was in store for Jay Cutler and the Bears on Monday night in the Bears’ 20-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. It was only a little over a week ago where reports surfaced that head coach John Fox was “done” with the veteran quarterback.

Chicago was seemingly doing everything possible to push him out, and yet, with other options either injured or ineffective, they had no one else to turn to. In front of a national audience on a “holiday” like Halloween, against the league’s best defense in the Vikings, the Bears were beyond a wounded and divided animal. If they had completely rolled over, and the blame would all be shifted onto Cutler, no one would have batted an eyelash.

After all, Chicago was without it’s two best offensive linemen in Josh Sitton and Kyle Long. Any healthy member of the secondary – sans Tracy Porter and Adrian Amos – was in a tracksuit and sweatpants on the sideline. The starting quarterback, who the higher-ups seemingly had no trust in, hadn’t played in six weeks. Minnesota might as well have been circling around the Bears like a vulture.

But the talented and deep front seven featuring first round pick, Leonard Floyd, the recent returnee, Pernell McPhee, and free agent signing, Akiem Hicks, was finally healthy. Tailback, Jordan Howard, when made the focal point of the offense, proved to be special. And for all of Cutler’s detractors, his talent and leadership, pushed the Bears into a stunning upset.

While Cutler had nowhere near the same “sparkling” stats as his forced replacement in Brian Hoyer did with several 300 yard passing games, that tells you to read more into the success of the Bears offense. Statistics, like passing yards, sometimes do little to tell the entire story. When you go 20/31 for 251 yards, and one touchdown, against a ferocious Vikings defense like Cutler did, that points to control only few in the league can enjoy. Chicago – in Hoyer’s stead – had been missing a deep passing game, a quarterback that can put the ball on a tee and zip it into tight windows. There was no threat of being challenged vertically.

hands. With Cutler, the Bears and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains opened up one of the most impressive and detailed game plans any other team in the league has put together this year – especially considering the competition. From designed rollouts, pretty fades over the top to Alshon Jeffery and Zach Miller, and a heavy dosage of Jordan Howard breaking through arm tackle after arm tackle, somehow, the Bears just wouldn’t be denied.

This was a complimentary attack. Win with both your offense and defense and you’ll dominate like never before. All notions of a conservative mindset gone right out the window.

The Bears were certainly reinvigorated by the return of their leader too. You couldn’t find a soul on the roster who didn’t have any faith in him, again, contrary to all previous ideas that Fox will continually deny until the end of time.

Miller, when asked about Chicago’s success on offense, noted that with Cutler, “our ace is back.” McPhee – never to shy away from his own spotlight – glowed about Cutler’s return and his own in making a difference for the Bears.

“With Jay coming back,” said McPhee.

“And me coming back, that gave us new life.”

Indeed, in a game that was never particularly close, that life was ever present. Howard almost had as many yards from scrimmage with 202, as the Vikings offense had in total with 258. A Bears offensive line in shambles

without it’s two best pieces, only let Cutler get sacked once, against a team who was previously in the top five in the NFL in sacks.

Floyd, McPhee, and company, pinned their ears back and harassed Minnesota quarterback Sam Bradford all night long to the tune of five sacks of their own. McPhee and Floyd in particular, were practically unstoppable. Floyd was being called a bust just over few weeks ago and instead drew double teams regularly towards the end of Monday night as the primary matchup problem.

There was a reason he felt it necessary to do a “dab” after a first half sack, He was feeling it, the Bears were feeling it, nothing was going to derail this train. On a warm Halloween night, the mojo wasn’t leaving.

Ultimately, what this game did, was offer a glimpse of what the 2016 Bears could have been. Health issues on defense, and a starting quarterback marooned by his own head coach, dug a practically inescapable 1-6 hole to start. Monday was perhaps the most complete performance this organization has played in at minimum, three years.

Every phase clicked. Every one was locked in. A 10-point deficit does not do Chicago’s dominance justice. With plenty of winnable games left on the docket, and a now incoming bye week to finally help this roster get fully healthy, who knows what could happen. Cutler adds that dimension. A full cupboard of players above, adds that hope.

This was a validation of general manager

Ryan Pace’s vision.

And it’s funny, that all of this came on the heels of a guy like Cutler.

The most misunderstood man in the NFL enjoyed maybe the most satisfying win of his career. He’s never pretended to care what outsiders think of him. Sometimes, that’s even extended to his own teammates and coaches. He has still routinely went out with confidence and slung the ball around. He has still refused to condemn anyone who has spoken ill of him and just let his play do the talking – for better or worse. Whatever flawed body language you want to diagnose, the Bears have always followed under his silent but surly example. All you ask yourself, is who in their right mind would want to move on from a quarterback who had his team rally around him to one of the best wins in recent franchise history?

There’s no logic there.

Whatever the future these last eight games (or more) hold, for the potential end of the Cutler era at Halas Hall, boy will there be appreciated fireworks, and oh, will it be fun.

Cutler received the game ball against the Vikings after the win, and simply remarked, “that was cool.”

Everyone knows what he really meant to say, but there’s no other context necessary.

His return was ironically emphatic enough.

World Series Game 7

Addison Russell sends a 2-0 pitch deep to left centerfield for a grand slam in Game 6 of the World Series. @Cubs

Cubs hammer Cleveland; Game 7 tonight

By Shane Nicholson Managing Editor

Chicago needed a tomorrow and Jake Arrieta provided as the Cubs defied the odds, clawing back a 3-1 deficit in the 2016 World Series to force a deciding Game 7 Wednesday night in Cleveland.

The Cubs struck early Tuesday night, with Kris Bryant, re-inserted in the 3-spot in the lineup, smashed a two-out home run to left in the top of the first. A pair of singles from Anthony Rizzo and Ben Zobrist later and Addison Russell came to plate with two on and two outs.

The 22-year-old shortstop flew to right-center on a 1-1 pitch for what should have been the third out, but Indians’ outfielders Tyler Naquin and Lonnie Chisenhall (him continuing his wonderful impression of his namesake Lonnie

A 6-WEEK PROGRAM

Smith in this World Series) both let each other have the first chance at the third out. The ball settled softly on the Progressive Field grass as Rizzo and then Zobrist both hurried around to score, giving Chicago a 3-0 after the first.

That man Russell would strike again in the top of the third, this time with the bases loaded of Northsiders.

Kyle Schwarber recorded a leadoff walk ahead of a Bryant fly out and another set of base hits from Rizzo and Zobrist. Cleveland manager Terry Francona went to his bullpen even earlier than he would have liked, calling on Dan Otero to relieve starter and Game 3 hero Josh Tomlin.

But Francona’s perpetual stroke of luck had run dry. Russell took a 2-0 pitch deep into the Cleveland night, giving the Cubs a 7-0 lead in the Game 6 elimination tie.

Arrieta was up to the task for Chicago working 5.2 innings and striking out nine, giving up two runs, with only the control problems he’s flashed throughout the 2016 season dragging him into rough spots.

He was relieved by lefthander Mike Montgomery, who worked a scoreless inning before being replaced by Ardolis Chapman. The fireballer entered in the seventh inning for the second consecutive game. Thankfully for Cubs fans he would not be asked to work the rest of the game as he had done in Game 5, when he threw 42 pitches to record eight outs during the Cubs’ 3-2 victory.

In the top of the ninth, Bryant drew a two-out walk, bringing Rizzo to the plate. Chicago’s first baseman launched a Mike Clevinger changeup into the rightfield seats, giving the Cubs a sev-

en-run lead for the second time in the game.

Cleveland would grab one more in the bottom of the ninth but it would not be enough.

Russell grabbed a pop out in foul territory to record the final out and send the Cubs to second consecutive World Series Game 7 in as many appearances for the franchise.

The Cubs will fire NLCS Game 6 hero Kyle Hendricks at the Indians, while Francona will answer with the so-far unstoppable force in Corey Kluber.

Game 7 of the World Series comes to you Wednesday night with the first pitch at 7:00 p.m. on FOX39 and WSCR AM670. Television coverage begins at 6 p.m.

We will have complete coverage ahead of the 38th Game 7 in World Series history on RockRiverTimes.com.

Tales from the Trough

ROUGH PATCH

IceHogs slip back to .500 after suffering first home loss

By Todd Reicher Contributor

A

fter falling twice on the road to open the season, the Rockford IceHogs rattled off four straight wins before dropping the final two of the weekend.

In the first of 12 divisional games against the Chicago Wolves, and the first of a home-and-home series, Rockford came out with a 3-2 victory.

In a frantic rush in front of the goal, Rockford’s Spencer Abbott potted his third goal of the season with 0.5 seconds left on the clock.

As the puck popped out from a Ville Pokka shot, Abbott happened to find the puck in the left side of the slot and fired it home.

Early in the second, Kenny Agostino scored his third of the season at 1:51 to even up the score 1-1.

At 9:05 into the second period, Pokka took Rockford’s first penalty of the game, but the tide turned when Cameron Schilling scored on a shorthanded rush. Mark McNeill lead the rush down the ice, and as the puck floated in the air, Schilling batted it down in mid-air behind Jordan Binnington to give the ‘Hogs their second lead of the game, 2-1.

Less than two minutes later it was Chicago knotting up the game at 2-2 with a Magnus Paajarvi power play goal.

IceHogs captain Jake Dowell capped the second period scoring with his first of the season with a power play marker of their own at 18:22. Schilling earned his second point of the night with the primary assist. Rockford outshot the Wolves 27-20 after the first two periods.

Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the final frame and Rockford came away with the win – their fourth straight.

The following night Rockford headed down the highway to the Allstate Arena for the backend of the home-and-home.

Erik Gustafsson scored his first of the season as the defenseman lit the lamp 3:38 into the game to give Rockford an early 1-0 lead.

The Wolves charged right back with a goal 1:31 later when Brad Hunt scored his second of the season in the first of five straight Chicago goals. The Wolves would score two goals in the first 1:43 of the second, which would signal the end of Mac Carruth for the evening.

Down 5-1 to start the third, Rockford’s Tanner Kero tallied his second of the season 77 seconds into the period to give Rockford a glimmer of hope.

Gustafsson would tally his second of the night at 6:50 to cut the lead to 5-3 with plenty of time left in the game.

The Wolves put a huge dent in Rockford’s hopes when Brett Sterling scored at 15:15 to give Chicago

a 6-3 lead. Chicago would score their second consecutive power play goal 1:20 later to seal the game with a 7-3 win.

Sunday, Rockford would play their second set of three games in three days with a 4:00 game against the Milwaukee Admirals. Rockford beat the Ads in a shootout in their other meeting this season, but this time a terrible second frame would doom Rockford.

Both teams traded first period goals, both sets coming in close sequences of each other. Matt White opened the scoring for Milwaukee at 4:21 which was answered by McNeill at 5:24 to even things up at 1-1.

Rockford claimed their first lead of the game at exactly 11:00 into the

period with a Martin Lundberg goal, which was answered 32 seconds later by Pontus Aberg of the Ads. Once again, it was four straight goals to put the opponent ahead by a good margin. 25 seconds into the period Vladislav Kamenev put Milwaukee ahead, and then a Trevor Smith goal at 8:33 and White’s second of the game at 13:56 put Milwaukee up 5-2.

Abbott cut the lead to 5-3 with his team-leading fourth of the season, which was quickly answered by Kamenev 43 seconds later.

An empty net goal by former IceHogs forward Mike Liambas at 18:29 of the third period would seal a second straight 7-3 loss for Rockford.

The ‘Hogs head back on the road for four straight games starting with a Wednesday match against the Charlotte Checkers and former IceHogs goaltender Michael Leighton. The team stays in Charlotte for a second straight game on Thursday.

Rockford then heads to Iowa on Sunday for a game against the Wild to wrap up week 4.

Rockford will return home from their road trip on Saturday, Nov. 12 to host the Ontario Reign.
