Happy Holidays

A dinner table divided Many are dreading meeting relatives for Thanksgiving after Donald Trump’s surprise victory. A student of the cultural divide around climate change offers tips for opening dialogues on politics.

By Andrew J. Hoffman

W

e are a divided nation; that is an understatement.

What’s more, we increasingly hear we are living in our own “bubble” or echo chamber that differing views cannot penetrate.

To correct the problem, many are calling for people to reach out, to talk and above all, to listen. That is all well and good, but what are we supposed to talk about? We can’t hope to listen without a topic for finding common ground.

In my view, there are (at least) two prominent issues in this election that can serve as a bridge across our political divides.

The first is that the political and economic system needs fixing because it favors those with special status or access. The second is that income inequality is reaching an intolerable level.

Might these two topics help mend the unpleasant Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners that many Americans are dreading?

Instead of avoiding that unpleasantness, it may be a time to embrace it.

Period of flux

There is an opportunity before us right now. While unpleasant, we live in a period of flux when beliefs can shift. This is how social change happens – in fits and spurts – something I’ve studied in looking at how culture shapes public debates around climate change.

American physicist and historian Thomas Kuhn first described this process as moving between periods of stability and periods of chaos. In the former, one set of beliefs dominates all other beliefs as the “paradigm.” But, periods of flux begin when tumultuous events upset this paradigm and a chaotic search for a new paradigm begins. Social scientists call this process of rapid social change “punctuated equilibrium.” The key is to push for change when things are most chaotic.

Any corporate change agent knows that is easiest to push for change when things are at their worst. As Winston Churchill famously said, “Never let a good crisis go to

waste.” Try thinking about that over your Thanksgiving dinner.

We all live in worlds of our own design Our country has broken into deeply divided tribes: left versus right, urban versus rural, the coasts versus the middle. We have become suspicious of each other, questioning motives before considering ideas.

Facts, it seems, have become less important than the political and ideological affiliation of their source. We seem to consider evidence only when it is accepted or, ideally, presented by those who represent our tribe and we dismiss information that is advocated by sources that represent groups whose values we reject.

This divide is ever deeper today

because of social media, a relatively new force in our society. Social media has “democratized knowledge” because the gatekeepers for determining the quality of information have been taken down.

But social media also creates the conditions for what has been termed fake news to run rampant.

Web-based media sites, and increasingly social media services Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, allow us to find information to support any position we seek to hold and find a community of people that will share those positions – a phenomenon known as confirmation bias. As a result, the internet doesn’t always make us more informed, but it often makes us more certain. We self-create what Eli Pariser calls our “filter bubbles.”

In one vivid illustration of this phenomenon, a research study of 250,000 tweets during the six weeks leading up to the 2010 U.S. congressional midterm elections found that liberal and conservative popu-

lations primarily retweeted only politically similar tweets.

To engage is to not to acquiesce

A study by the Pew Research Center found that “49 percent of Republicans say they’re outright afraid of the Democratic Party, with 55 percent of Democrats saying they fear the GOP.” This part of the cultural divide is self-reinforcing: we fear the other so we don’t engage; we don’t engage so we fear the other even more.

To break this loop, we need to do what columnist Thomas Friedman calls “principled engagement.” While some may choose to sit on the sidelines or hope that one side or the other fails, there is too much at stake. Others may choose to stand resolute in their defiance of engagement, and in doing so, stake the “radical flank” and provide a constructive tension in the debates to come.

What’s behind the turkey pardoning ritual?

By Tobin Miller Shearer The Conversation

S

ince 1989, when President George H. W. Bush first formally instituted the practice, U.S. presidents have pardoned a turkey shortly before Thanksgiving each year.

Although the turkeys offer no offense, their presidential pardoning invites the question: What is the significance of such a public rite of forgiveness?

As a researcher of the history of race and religion, I have long been interested in the ideas and ceremonies that make forgiveness possible.

The presidential turkey pardon draws on the long traditions of forgiveness in the world’s religions. A very public act of pardoning, as in this case, reminds us about the important role rituals themselves play in society.

Different religious traditions conceive, articulate and express forgiveness in diverse ways.

For example, the Islamic community treats forgiveness as a process that takes place in

front of and with the support of other Muslims. It is not a solitary endeavor. Muslims expect the offender to display remorse and directly request forgiveness from the harmed party so that justice can be restored. The community does not expect that forgiveness be offered until after justice has been realized. Nonetheless, Muslims are encouraged to forgive because it represents a more virtuous path.

The Jewish rabbinical tradition also links forgiveness with justice. As in the case of Islam, forgiveness is conceived as unfolding within the community. It is the offender’s responsibility to approach those who have been harmed. Jews celebrate their highest holiday, Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement, by seeking forgiveness from others and from God. Within the Christian tradition, the expectation is that believers will offer forgiveness whether or not those who have harmed them have repented. Forgiveness from God is not contingent upon how an adherent has acted

<<< Continued from Page 4

But some can choose to build bridges, accepting the mere act of engagement does not mean an acceptance, endorsement or even that we like the other side. It is merely a recognition that we have common concerns and interests. Standing in the middle of warring tribes is not easy as it invites attacks from both sides, but someone has to try by finding common ground.

Where can we start the conversation?

While not all experts agree that we have an income inequality problem, the numbers are sobering and, more importantly, many voters on both the left and right believe what they tell us.

Overall, between 1979 and 2013 the share of income earned by the U.S.’ richest 1 percent increased from 10 percent to 20.1 percent of the total economic pie. Between 2009 and 2013 the top 1 percent of U.S. earners

but rather on the believer’s faith that he has been saved from God’s judgment through the intervention of Jesus Christ.

According to this belief, human failings so offend God’s sense of justice that only the death of God’s own son in the person of Jesus of Nazareth will right the balance. Christians forgive because they, too, see themselves as forgiven. These are traditional Protestant values. In contrast, Catholics emphasize the fulfillment of religious observances such

captured 85.1 percent of total income growth.

Within the 37-member Organization of Economically Developed Countries, the U.S. trails only Turkey, Mexico and Chile when it comes to inequality.

This is the source of the disgust and disaffection that many American voters feel – a

‘

as reciting a set number of prayers along side belief in forgiveness from God. Buddhists place less value on the idea of forgiveness itself and more on the renunciation of anger and desire for revenge. As in the case of Christianity, there is no expectation that these twin renunciations are in any way dependent upon the attitude and actions of the offender.

In other words, whether or not the offender seeks repentance is irrelevant.

Many Native American

communities, especially those in the Southeast, ritualize the practice of forgiveness in the Green Corn Ceremony. In this annual ritual, also known as “itse selu” or “Busk,” tribal members forgive and reconcile wrongs ranging from debts to adultery. Murder is not addressed through this ritual, indicating that special attention is required in the case of deeper harm.

The Thanksgiving Day turkey pardoning draws its meaning from different religious traditions. But why does such an action take place in public?

The answer can be found in the role that ritual plays in binding societies. Late 19th-century sociologist Émile Durkheim observed that all rites serve to periodically reaffirm a social group’s identity through its appeal to collective values. By observing even the most common of rituals, the community expresses what is important in its collective life. Even the seemingly inane pardoning of a turkey emphasizes that

holiday dinner? Well to begin, if there is absolutely no hope of common ground, stay away from politics and talk about football.

But if there is an opportunity to build bridges, maybe the topics of common concern to start the conversation include: the need to invest in upgrading our highways,

vein that both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders tapped into. At its core, it represents a distrust of our political and economic institutions. Some direct their ire at government, some at the corporate sector, and both hold great disdain for the seemingly corrupt relationship between the two.

So, what should you talk about over your

bridges and transportation infrastructure; the corrupting influence of money in politics and possibilities for campaign finance reform; the practice of influence peddling and the proposal for time limitations on when government officials can become lobbyists; programs to increase opportunities for upward mobility like making college education more

the idea that public forgiveness is possible.

French historian and philosopher René Girard took that observation a step further by arguing that public rituals of sacrifice deflected social violence that would otherwise be released internally within the group.

In the particular instance of pardoning a turkey, the rite may seem so trite as to not apply. Yet, British anthropologist Victor Turner reminds us that the drama of ritual depicts both human experience and its response to it. Turner contends that such rites reduce social turmoil – both by presenting emotions and then by releasing them.

The ritualized pardoning of a turkey draws our attention. It connects with our desire for forgiveness from expected punishment and to a possibility that we, too, might one day be pardoned.

Whether we as a nation or as individuals act on that desire is a question for our collective reflection over the upcoming holiday meal.

affordable; or programs to help ease the burden that workers feel when they are displaced by technology, automation, globalization or policy shifts. It may not be easy or pleasant at first, but it’s at least a start. And maybe you’ll be surprised.

One positive outcome of this election is that everyone seems to be engaged (even though a large percentage of Americans didn’t vote). We just need to find the right way to engage. In my religious tradition, it is said, “blessed are the peacemakers.” Whether or not you share my tradition, I think we can agree that we need more peacemakers.

Healing the country won’t come from Washington. It will come from each of us at our family dinner table, local Kiwanis Club, town hall, workplace and sports league. It will come from each of us as we work to open up our own individual bubbles and remember, in the words of the recently departed Leonard Cohen: “Ring the bells that still can ring; Forget your perfect offering; There is a crack in everything; That’s how the light gets in.”

A new study says Illinois law enforcement is seizing hundreds of millions of dollars of property belonging to citizens suspected, but not necessarily convicted, of a crime.

A joint study by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois and the Illinois Policy Institute shows law enforcement agencies have seized $319 million from citizens from 2005 to 2015.

In Illinois, people don’t need to be convicted of a crime to have their property seized, a practice typically known as civil asset forfeiture.

ACLU criminal justice policy attorney Ben Ruddell says the number is likely much higher since reporting forfeiture statistics is not required by Illinois law. “That $319 million is a conservative figure that we know doesn’t cover the full picture here,” he said.

Typically, seized property goes back to the law enforcement agency that seizes it. Ruddell adds that this creates an incentive for law enforcement to seize more property to boost their budgets.

The study states that automobiles are the most common type of seizure. “Your life can fall apart during that period of time without that transportation,” Ruddell said. “You can lose your job. There is a whole cascade of consequences that can transpire from that.”

Ruddell said the law needs to be changed to remove the monetary incentive to seizing property by, for instance, diverting the proceeds to a state revenue fund. Also, he said the state needs to strengthen the owners right to retrieve their property.

“The burden of proof needs to be where it belongs — with the government to prove that there was a crime before they can take it away.”

A poll conducted by the Illinois Policy Institute showed 89 percent of the 500 registered voters surveyed oppose police being allowed to seize property from people not convicted of a crime.

The Rock Island Police Department led the state with 39 forfeitures per 10,000 residents, followed by the Decatur Police Department with 23.6.

Representatives from the Illinois Association of Police Chiefs or the Illinois State Police were not immediately available for comment.

Korean War vets finally receive service medals Two-dozen Illinois Korean War veterans have received medals from the South Korean government in recognition of their service.

The belated Republic of Korea (ROK) War Service Medals, also known as Korean War Service Medals, were presented during a Nov. 10 ceremony at an Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs (IDVA) home in Manteno.

The medals signify a thank-you “for going over there and putting my life on the line,” 84-year-old Ernie Shannon, a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant during the conflict and one of the 24 who received the recent recognition, said. “Them’s good people, I’ll tell you what, and we went over there and fought for them.”

Then again, Shannon, who joined the military directly out of high school, said he would

have dutifully gone wherever he was needed.

“I went over there because my government wanted me to go over there, and I went to Korea and I went to Vietnam and if I had been born, like, in (1926), I coulda’ went to the Second World War, and I would have gladly, gladly went, ’cause like I say, I love this country,” Shannon said.

Shannon and many of his fellow Korean War veterans in Illinois and across the nation waited for the medals so long because, even though South Korea began presenting the medals to members of the U.S. military in the early 1950s, the awards were not authorized to be worn on U.S. military uniforms until years later, said Kurt Schierholz, the IDVA veterans service officer credited with tracking down the recipients at Manteno,

where he works.

Schierholz said that some time ago, he noticed some Korean War vets sported the ROK medals while others didn’t. Then, with some added investigative work, he realized the after-the-fact change in uniform policy left behind many of those who deserved the service medals.

Schierholz was able to correct the oversight in Manteno with a few phone calls, along with a little pencil-pushing and event planning.

“Every veteran is proud of their service to their nation,” Schierholz said. “You know, we love our country, and when you have a chance to receive a medal, whether it’s during the time of your service or years later, it shows that we are appreciated for what we did.”

U of I-Springfield students compare Illinois, Brazilian rivers The University of Illinois-Springfield has been awarded a $25,000 grant with which students will conduct comparative analyses of the Illinois River and Parana River in Brazil.

The university was one of eight U.S. institutions whose proposed projects won innovation grants through the “100,000 Strong in the Americas” program, a White-House-sponsored public-private educational initiative that encourages collaboration between students from North, Central and South America.

This year’s competition was funded by the Coca-Cola Foundation and promotes study-abroad environmental research on water resource issues. After several months of preparation, a group of about nine UIS

students and six faculty members will travel to Brazil, where they will meet their counterparts from the Universidade Estadual de Maringa, located in the southern portion of the country.

Dr. Keenan Dungey, a UIS associate professor of chemistry and lead author of the grant application, said the goal of the Illinois contingent will be to observe the Parana’s ecosystem and, based on those findings, develop solutions to improve the Illinois River’s ecosystem, which has long been impacted by human activity.

“What we’re going to do is work with scientists there on studying the Parana River and compare those results with studies being done on the Illinois River,” Dungey said. “There’s a lot of

effort here in Illinois to try to restore the river and its floodplain to a more natural state, or a more productive ecosystem.”

Dungey said his team chose to study the Parana River because there simply weren’t any similarly-pristine river systems in the U.S. with which to compare the Illinois. “I would say, it would be hard to find the same magnitude river that hasn’t been impacted by humans,” he said.

Dungey said that while this year’s program will include only nine UIS students, it’s anticipated the research initiative will survive, grow and eventually draw in many more students in Illinois, as well as abroad.

Energy & Environment

The storm passes; the sunlight reappears

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

T

he recent election results leave advocates little to cheer about as the Trump administration appears set to go all out for fossil fuels and abandon the push to reduce carbon emissions and increase the role of renewable energy and efficiency in our energy mix. The expected energy policies will put the United States out of step with much of the rest of the world.

The recent World Energy Outlook report from the International Energy Agency stands in marked contrast to the direction the future Trump administration appears headed. The organization created in 1974 in response to the oil crisis has been seen as underestimating the role of renewable energy. According to Giles Parkinson their latest report concludes that wind and solar will become the dominant energy sources for most major economies within the next 20 years. Wind and solar will become the biggest sources of energy in the EU by 2030, and by 2035 in China, India and the US. Given the expected new U.S. federal energy policies it is highly unlikely that wind and solar will play that prominent a role by 2035.

The WEO envisions renewable energy as a major source of heat as well as fuel for an electrified transportation system. China and India are seen as the world’s new clean energy

superpowers. In order to meet the goal of limiting rising global temperatures to a 1.5 C target increased reliance will have to be placed on wind and solar energy.

In an article on the Energy Post, John Mathews reminds us why renewable energy sources are still likely to emerge as the primary energy source for the globe by midcentury.

They are low to zero in carbon emissions, non polluting, inexhaustible, diffuse, decentralized, practical energy sources with very low operating costs that do not need fuel.

They are scalable in that manufacturing capacity can be readily expanded to meet increasing demand. They benefit from continuous improvements in panel efficiency as well as decreasing costs. Mathews cites ongoing cost reductions as the real drivers of the renewable energy revolution.

While the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources remains a challenge, ongoing technological advances and cost reductions in energy storage are eliminating the arguments against renewable energy sources. The development of microgrids improves the prospects of local energy production.

In a recent presentation, Howard Learner, Executive Director the Environmental Law and Policy Center, calls for a focus on a good offense to continue the clean energy transition.

He reminds us that new solar energy and wind power along with improved battery and lighting

technologies can help transform the electrical sector. The installation of electric car charging stations along the expressway system and major highways will provide support for electrified transportation. The Center’s staff is advocating new pro-innovation and pro-competition policies eliminating barriers to solar, wind and energy storage technologies before state public utility commissions in the Midwest.

Some of their energy efforts are directed at regional transmission organizations to address the need for demand response and battery storage policies for grid support, enhanced

The

electrical reliability and reducing the need for aging coal plants.

Support for renewable energy and efficiency will have to occur on the state and local level in the absence of federal support. While barriers to the energy transition need to be overcome, continued cost reductions and efficiency improvements are attractive incentives to homeowners, businesses and communities.

The case for a solar transition is well illustrated by the chart illustrating the huge solar resource available to us.

Pipeline protesters doused in freezing temps

By Chris Michaud & Stephanie Keith Reuters

NEW YORK/CANNON BALL, N.D. – Police fired tear gas and water at hundreds of protesters in the freezing North Dakota weather late Sunday and early Monday, in the latest violent clash over a pipeline project running through the state.

An estimated 400 protesters mounted the Backwater Bridge just north of Cannon Ball, North Dakota, and attempted to force their way past police in what the Morton County Sheriff’s Department described as an “ongoing riot.”

The $3.7 billion Dakota Access project has drawn steady opposition from activists since the summer, led by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, whose tribal lands are adjacent to the pipeline. Native American activists and environmentalists say the line threatens water resources and sacred tribal lands.

A joint statement from several activist groups said protesters Sunday were trying to remove burned vehicles blocking Backwater Bridge in order to restore access to the nearby Standing Rock Sioux encampments so emergency services and local traffic can move freely.

Police fired volleys of tear gas at the protesters to prevent them from crossing the bridge.

Law enforcement also fired rubber bullets and sprayed protesters with water in temperatures that reached as low as 18 F overnight.

“It is below freezing right now and the Morton County Sheriff ’s Department is using a water cannon on our people – that is an excessive and potentially deadly use of force,” said Dallas Goldtooth, a spokesman for the Indigenous Environmental Network, one of the organizations involved in protests.

Completion of the pipeline, set to run 1,172 miles from North Dakota to Illinois, was delayed in September so the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could re-examine permits that would allow construction under the Missouri River, near to the tribe’s lands.

The main company behind the pipeline, Energy Transfer Partners, is building the line to bring crude oil from North Dakota to Illinois en route to the Gulf Coast.

On an analyst call Monday to discuss ETP’s merger with its sister company Sunoco Logistics Partners, officials said they still expect final approval for the pipeline by the end of this year.

Officials did not address the protests.

A statement from the sheriff ’s’ department said one arrest had been made by 8:30 p.m.,

about 2-1/2 hours after the incident began 45 miles south of Bismarck, the North Dakota capital. About 100 to 200 protesters remained after midnight.

The Morton County Sheriff ’s Department said officers on the scene of the latest confrontation were “describing protesters’ actions as

evening, after protesters attempted to remove a truck that had been on the bridge since Oct. 27, police said.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation closed the Backwater Bridge, which crosses Cantapeta Creek north of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s camp, after vehicles were burned on Oct. 27. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had also asked Morton County law enforcement to prevent protesters from trespassing on federal land.

Supporters of the pipeline said the project offers the most direct route for taking shale oil from North Dakota to Gulf Coast refineries and would be safer than road or rail transportation.

The Army Corps of Engineers last week said they will need more consultations with Native American tribes, even though the Corps said they had followed all legal requirements for permitting.

President-elect Donald Trump has not commented specifically on Dakota Access, but he has in the past been supportive of pipeline development. Should a decision be delayed to his term, the pipeline could be approved

Demonstrators tried to start about a dozen fires as they attempted to outflank and “attack” law enforcement barricades, the sheriff ’s statement said. Police said protesters had hurled rocks and burning logs, striking one officer.

Dave Archambault, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, said law enforcement is escalating the violence.

“They say these are non-lethal weapons, but a water cannon in freezing weather is lethal.

Expressway project’s demise not just about red tape

Illiana plan predated proposed railway through northern Illinois

The controversial proposed project to build an Interstate road connecting I-55 to an Interstate in Indiana recently was dealt what many consider to be a death blow.

One expert said that while the so-called Illiana Expressway project still could be revived, neither the State of Illinois nor the federal government seems to have much interest in doing so.

Earlier this month, a federal judge reinforced an earlier ruling declaring the Tier 2 environmental impact study (EIS) — the last step before the project can begin — on the proposed Illiana Expressway invalid. The ruling means Illinois must start its environmental reviews all over again.

The ruling was seen by opponents as the end of the public-private partnership, but University of Illinois-Chicago Urban Transportation Center Director P.S. Sriraj said it’s more about the state’s financial mess.

“An EIS doesn’t take too long to do from scratch, so from the purely technical perspective, I don’t think that it’s that big of a blow,” he said.

“It’s that the fiscal situation is not appealing for any new endeavors to be taken on unless there is very conclusive evidence that this is going to be

The proposed Illiana Expressway was set to pass about 15-20 miles south of the current I-80/94 corridor in Chicago’s Southland area.

benefiting a very large group of people.”

Sriraj said the state would have to rely heavily on federal funding to pay for the road, but that “there’s 100 other Illianas that are competing for that same money.”

Frank Patton, the man behind the proposed Great Lakes Basin railway that would intersect Winnebago County on the south and west sides of Rockford, was a proponent of the Illiana Expressway project before turning his attention to rail. The almost glacial-like pace of development of the Illiana roadway drove he and other investors to look abroad for other transportation projects.

Watch the Music Video on YouTube or visit rockfordha.org to learn more about the work of RHA

Patton reportedly began work on the railway project in 2009 as delays continued to hamper progress on the Chicago Southland bypass route.

“I looked at Ed Paesel (executive director of the South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association) and said, ‘Does [a railway] make any sense?’” Patton told the Northwest Indiana Times earlier this year. “And Ed looked at me and he smiled and he said, ‘It makes all the sense in the world.’ And that’s when it started.”

The Illiana Expressway’s development history dates back to the early-1900s when city planners Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett included

a “Outer Encircling Highway” into their model for the future of Chicago.

The I-294 Tri-State Tollway and the I-355 spur have served to fill the original role of the proposed connector, but as urban sprawl swallowed up more and more farmland nearer Cook County, both roads became just another portion of the maze of roads the traverse the Chicagoland area.

The Illiana Expressway would have connected I-55 near the Joliet Arsenal in Illinois with I-65 just south of Crown Point, Indiana, about 15 miles from the current route of I-80/94 around the end of Lake Michigan.

Will County Board member Judy Ogalla, who has long opposed the highway, said it would have damaged the agricultural community in her county, slowing a major economic engine for the area.

“It’s more than just the impact of the environment. It’s the farm communities here that live off of the land that they would be paving over. But they never thought about that. No one thought about the hardships of the community,” she said.

A spokesman for the Illinois Department of Transportation said the project has been formally suspended.

VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Illinois, other Miss. River states failing to address pollution worries: Report

The Mississippi River Collaborative (MRC) today released a report that implores the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take specific actions to clean up nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in Illinois and nine other states, because those states have failed to make sufficient pollution reductions. The ten states that are the focus of the report all border the Mississippi River and send their pollution to the river and ultimately to the Gulf of Mexico.

The report, “Decades of Delay,” was prepared by MRC, a partnership of 13 environmental and legal groups, and assesses state progress in reducing the pollution that threatens drinking water supplies for millions of Americans and causes the Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone.

The report finds that nitrogen and phosphorus continue to pose serious threats to Illinois waters, interfering with the public’s use and enjoyment, and threatening the health of people and aquatic life. Illinois lakes have been especially devastated by phosphorus pollution.

“EPA’s hands-off approach is simply not working in Illinois. Every summer our lakes and beaches are fouled by noxious, smelly and sometimes toxic algal blooms,” said Kim Knowles, Staff Attorney at Prairie Rivers Network. “The state lacks a rigorous program for addressing this scourge.”

The report suggests six specific steps EPA can take to protect human health and water quality in state waters. Recommendations include setting numeric limits of allowable nitrogen and phosphorus in state waters, assessing more waterways to determine the full extent and impact of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution, and making

sure states develop rigorous plans for reducing pollution and for procuring the funding needed to address this significant problem.

“For 20 years, we have been told the EPA and the states would address the nitrogen and phosphorus pollution that fouls our rivers and lakes and perpetuates the Gulf Dead Zone,” said Jessica Dexter, Staff Attorney, Environmental Law & Policy Center, an MRC member. “This report demonstrates the falsity of that claim.

EPA should use the tools outlined in the report to uphold the Clean Water Act and get us on a path to clean rivers and streams.”

‘Mingled Visions’ at Burpee through Jan. 11

Forty original photogravure prints by noted photographer and naturalist Edward S. Curtis from the collection of the Dubuque Museum of Art in Dubuque, Iowa will be on view at Burpee Museum of Natural History, 737 N. Main St., through January 11, 2017.

This selection of photogravures presents an overview of Curtis’s monumental collection, The North American Indian, with a popular mix of famous images like “Geronimo” and “Cañon de Chelly – Navaho” and just as iconic but less well-known images like “Bear Bull – Blackfoot” and “Wichita Grass-House.”

Edward S. Curtis was fortunate in 1906 to gain recognition and endorsement from President Theodore Roosevelt and financial backing from pioneering financier John Pierpont Morgan for a project he had been considering for over six years. Curtis approached Morgan and together they decided Curtis’s masterwork, The North American Indian, would be a five-year project producing 20 volumes of ethnographic texts illustrated with high-quality photoengravings and each volume would be accompanied by a folio of large photogravure prints. In the end, the 20 folios included 722 photogravure prints but the project took 30 years to complete.

Curtis published Volume 1 in 1907.

Although Curtis had hoped to print a limited edition of 500 copies, he was only able to find 222 subscribers for The North American Indian and only 272 sets were ever printed.

Due to an ongoing shortage of funds and the need to continually promote the lavish collection, Curtis did not issue his final volume and portfolio set until 1930, almost 20 years after his projected completion date. As political and social norms changed over the decades, The North American Indian, which neither fit neatly into the classification of art nor science, virtually faded into obscurity. The collection was rediscovered in the 1970s and became recognized as one of the most signifi-

13

cant records of Native culture ever produced.

Dubuque’s copy of The North American Indian is an original subscription set given to the local Carnegie-Stout Public Library in 1909 by Mrs. Emma H. Ward in memory of her husband, Hiram Pond Ward, a prominent Dubuque and Washington D.C. lawyer. The complete collection remained at the Library until 1999 when the photogravure portion was moved to the Dubuque Museum of Art for safekeeping. The collection was purchased by the Dubuque Cultural Preservation Committee in 2008. In 2009, the committee gifted the collection to the Museum.

This traveling exhibition is organized by the Dubuque Museum of Art, Dubuque, Iowa.

The photogravures in the exhibition are from the permanent collection of the Dubuque Museum of Art and are a gift from the Dubuque Cultural Preservation Committee, an Iowa general partnership, consisting of Dr. Darryl K. Mozena, Jeffrey P. Mozena, Mark Falb, Timothy J. Conlon, and Dr. Randy Lengeling.

RPD mourns Fricke

The Rockford Police Department is mourning the loss of Officer Karol Fricke, who passed away on Tuesday, November 15, after a brief illness.

Officer Fricke, a 24-year veteran of the force, started her career with the department in 1992 as a patrol officer and most recently, worked as a Community Services Officer assigned to District 3. Well-known for her active engagement in countless community meetings, activities and events, Officer Fricke was known for her willingness to engage, and her direct, no-nonsense approach blended with a warm smile, humor and wit.

Officer Fricke was an Operation Shattered Stars and Rockford Police Department Peer Supporter, a volunteer program that trains active and retired officers to lend support, share experiences and offer advice to fellow officers in need. In noting her interest to become a member of the pilot Peer-to-Peer Program that launched this year, Officer Fricke described herself as approachable, honest, caring, and willing to be called upon at any time in a crisis, a sentiment echoed by her fellow officers and colleagues.

“We are devastated by the loss of Officer Fricke who dedicated her life to serving and protecting the community in which she was born and raised,” said Chief Dan O’Shea.

“Officer Fricke had a contagious energy and tenacity that permeated throughout the department. Her death is a tremendous loss not just for the department, but the community-at-large. We are thankful to everyone for their outpouring of support during this difficult time.”

Expanding ‘The Devil’s Triangle’

Guest Contributor

W

eeks before the Presidential Election, I woke up with an inexplicable feeling of dread, many days in a row. I have worked as a Democratic campaign staffer on both Senatorial and Mayoral campaigns. My father, a proud Union Democrat, was fascinated with politics and I grew up steeped in it, attending speeches, rallies, and Presidential visits to Illinois. The outcome of this presidential race has left me feeling punched in the stomach, but not surprised.

Trump got a free pass from an alarming percentage of the electorate, freely making xenophobic, racist remarks; bragging about using his fame and wealth to sexually assault women; imitating a Washington Post reporter with a disability; saying “maybe the Second Amendment people could stop Hillary Clinton”; verbally and physically assaulting the Press with his goons; insulting a Gold Star family because they are

Muslim; and suggesting that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel may be biased against him because he is Mexican. Trump has lit the fuse on hate crimes.

If you voted for Donald Trump, you gave him an endorsement to continue spewing racist, misogynist, anti First Amendment garbage as the leader of the free world, or as it will soon be known the “free” world. And here’s the kicker, Donald Trump and Mike Pence don’t care about you unless you are White and a Billionaire.

They care about tax breaks for the rich; deregulating Wall Street; advancing their xenophobic, homophobic agenda; deporting families; gutting our Civil Liberties; and helping the Republican led House and Senate cater to the NRA in a country that sees an annual gun death toll of 111,779 according to the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence (bradycampaign.org).

Pence is from what I call the “Devil’s Triangle” of governors: Pence, Rauner and Walker. They are all right wing and all union crushers, right in the heart of what used to be a reliably pro-union

Midwest. So when Trump and Pence were singing “Theme for the Common Man”, which, by the way, is the theme of the Democratic Party, it was just an act.

Now, the damage is done. The fight is on.

Half of the electorate is to blame and they are chastising the other half for exercising their First Amendment Rights. And in America, with “liberty and justice for all”, we have a sociopathic, racist President who has opened Pandora’s Box of hatred. If you aren’t frightened by this, you should be. If you’re not moved to action, you should be.

Educators across the country are already protecting students from White Power bullying by other students. Watch the video of kids carrying Trump signs through school hallways and chanting racial slurs. It should make your blood run cold.

As an Educator, I know that teachers and administrators work tirelessly to keep the peace in schools. We start in Pre-K and Kindergarten to teach respect for others and valuing diversity.

Now, it is being systematically undone by other adults in power positions. It is sickening.

The first order of business needs to be this: millions of Americans calling on Trump to recall his Cabinet appointment of Alt Right filth purveyor Steve Bannon of Breitbart News. Bannon is an anti-semite and a KKK sympathizer who once said “Progressives don’t like conservative women because they aren’t a bunch of dykes and because they are pro-family.”

So Trump voters, now you will see what dissent in its purest form looks like, and it is our right as Americans. You will see “We the People” (who haven’t lost our minds) get up and fight for social justice. Everything is on the line and in the hands of people we cannot trust with our present or our future as a nation.

Social Justice is more than just a buzzword.

Progress takes long, hard years of grassroots work. Trump, who is unfit to govern a free America, is about to undo fifty years of progress unless we hit the streets and continue to raise holy hell.

Fear and understanding: reflections after an election

By Allison Wang Guest Contributor

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”

–Madame Curie

M

adame Curie won two Nobel Prizes in different sciences. No man has received such recognition.

Yet, she was told to not accept her second Nobel Prize because she was romantically involved with another man after her husband died. Women have feared men’s dominance for a long time.

The gender binary system forms two groups: feminine and masculine. Females would have different roles from Males in profession, housework, decision making, and child care. This system originated with agricultural societies: farming with ploughs and other heavy tools requires muscles and would be performed by men, leaving other activities, such as raising children and other domestic activities, to women. This division of labor resulted in gender roles where men work to provide for the family and women nurture children. This idea has been present throughout most of history.

With these binary gender roles, males were put in a dominant role, creating a patriarchy.

When society progressed to the Renaissance

period, beautiful things in the household represented power and wealth. Therefore, it was part of women’s roles to be charming to household guests, and it was the men’s role to partake in public affairs. In Castiglione’s The Courtier, the woman was to make herself pleasing to the man; with respect to love and sex. Strict expectations of women’s chastity prevailed, and women who broke the rules were punished as social exiles. Being defined as subordinate and weak, women had to apply their talents elsewhere. With their role as child care providers, women took on traditional roles as herbal and faith healers. However, male doctors started to compete with herbal medicine. Since universities did not admit women, women did not have the credibility that males did. If a baby was born deformed, the midwife was blamed. Much of the medicine practiced by women was labeled as witchcraft. The Great Witch-Hunts damaged women as it reaffirmed a patriarchal society.

Religion marked women as weaker and more susceptible to sin than men were.

Women started protesting their subordinate role. In the late 18th century, Mary Wollstonecraft protested that women are not inferior to men in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. She started the long women suffrage movement. In the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution increased labor opportunities for both males and females, but

there was still a strict division of labor by sex.

The growing textile industry opened jobs for women, but this was still considered to be a domestic service. Women would find injustice if they tried moving into the male sphere.

Women continued to be subordinate to their husbands in the eye of the law; English wives had no legal identity and the Napoleonic Code enshrined female subordination.

It was not until the World Wars when women started taking a greater role in society.

When men were away at war, women had the opportunity to take over the traditional male work in industry. With women becoming highly visible in society, there was greater pressure for women suffrage. Britain, Germany, Austria, and the United States granted women suffrage after WWI, 130 years after Wollstonecraft started the long process.

After men returned from WWII, the fifties saw a backlash - the media and advertisers emphasized a strong traditional female role and the value of passive behaviors like “keeping your man happy” and “putting his needs first.” The sixties and seventies feminist revolution went on to change gender roles forever, focusing on dismantling inequality in jobs, politics, and families.

Today, the social standards on what males and females can do is blending together. That is not to say that gender roles do not still exist

within society. For example, many still have an automatic association of liberal arts with females and sciences with males. Body and slut shaming still target certain genders. Once, in a public board meeting, a man called me a pig (realnorth.us/pig) who liked it when others got dirty. When cornered with questions, his basic instinct of survival was to insert superiority by intimidating me, a teenage girl. It backfired when people condemned this behavior. Our new President-elect is another publicized example of someone body and slut shaming women. What we must remember, is that this election was about international trade, immigration, national security, and public policy.

I hope that it does not become a validation of misogyny. We must not let humanity regress.

Let us look at our past carefully and think about our impact to future.

More than 20 years ago, Hillary Clinton said: “Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.” Gender roles are receding, and their ancestral function is disappearing. It is being replaced by the basic decency of respect to other human beings. Gender roles may have not become completely vestigial, but society’s view on gender is becoming less of a factor in what we can accomplish. Let’s not lose our sight on humanity’s progress. Watch and Advocate. Let us continue to voice what our heart believes is good. Keep carrying the torch of progress.

Ed’s note: A column last week under the byline “By So and So, Who Does This” was written by Rich Miller of Capitol Fax. It was an unfortunate lapse of (and subtle insight into) the editorial process which left his name off when the edition went to print. We apologize for any confusion.

Audiophile Martin dishes on AV passion

By Todd Houston Special to TRRT

I

remember my mom taking my brother and me over to North Towne Mall as a kid sometime during the later part of the 1970s. We would go over to a store called Music World while she shopped at Weise’s and some of the other stores. I remember the staff was very helpful and they loved chatting about new releases, rare live recording and of course the colored vinyl imports. If we were lucky my brother and I would both score a record each. We couldn’t wait to get home and throw them on our Realistic stereo system. We would listen over and over again and spend hours looking at the liner notes and photos on the insert.

As we got older the sound quality became more and more important. Friends were buying up these giant stereo systems with massive speakers. The components you had and the sheer number of records in your collection told a story. You were either the Realistic (Radio Shack) guy or you were the Sansui, Marantz or even Bang & Olufsen guy.

The Bang & Olufsen guy would have been on par with the Camaro guy. You get it.

Fast forward to around 2005. As CD and digital sales decline in the wake of streaming services like Spotify and Pandora, record sales are on the rise. In fact, the format has seen 260 percent growth since 2009. While CDs sit on shelves, vinyl supply is having a hard time keeping up with demand. People are not only seeking out vinyl but vintage stereo equipment is smoking hot right now. It may not have seemed possible 10 years ago, but the good old days are of transistors, tubes, scratchy potentiometers and the sweet smell of hot electronic cleaner are back. It looks like it might even outlive the novelty of PBR tallboys and the hipster generation altogether, but that’s another story.

• • • This week, we catch up with Joe Martin who’s been collecting – but mostly repairing – audio and video equipment for the better part of 25 years.

Rockford Rocked Interviews: You repair pretty much anything electronic. How did you get involved in the profession?

Joe Martin: I’ve always had an interest in electronics, even as a child I liked to take things apart and see what make them tick. (laughs) RRI: Some of these older systems are pretty complex. Do you ever run into problems finding parts?

JM: Sometimes, but if you’re looking for an obsolete part you can usually find a suitable sub for it by matching the specs.

RRI: Are you a fan of vinyl records?

JM: Absolutely! It’s the best way to listen to music.

RRI: I understand you are also a musician. Do you work on guitar amplifiers and P.A. stuff?

JM: Yes, I do but not tube equipment.

Mostly just the solid state stuff.

RRI: Who made the best audio components back in the day?

JM: Probably Macintosh, Pioneer, Sansui, Marantz, Kenwood and Harmon Kardon.

RRI: Do you ever get requests to fix broken Beta video players? And if so who would want one of these things? (laughs)

JM: Probably someone with old family video tapes but you would be surprised. I still repair 8-tracks and even the occasional VCR. RRI: I was once told that some of the giant Japanese manufactures like Panasonic and Sanyo were all made in the same factory. Is there any truth to that?

JM: Back then one company would manufacture products for more than one name brand. Very common.

RRI: Most music purists will tell you that they prefer analog audio recordings as opposed to digital. What’s your take on this whole debate?

Simply Fantastic Newest ‘Potter’ flick a welcome addition for fans of series

By Thomas Simpson

W Contributor

hen a film series rakes in several billion dollars at the box office, it’s little wonder the film studio at the helm would be reluctant to let it end.

The Harry Potter films were, of course, adapted from JK Rowling’s hugely popular books about the titular boy wizard. No more books surely meant no more films, in theory at least.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is inspired by the book of the same name, written by Rowling as an accompaniment to the Harry Potter universe. You’d be forgiven for viewing the film as a cynical cash in but with a script written by Rowling herself and David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter films, back in the chair there was enough reason to get excited.

Set in 1926, British wizard Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) arrives in New York with a suitcase full of magical creatures. It doesn’t take long for a few of his animals to escape and run riot however there is something more sinister prowling the streets. A malevolent force is wreaking havoc which threatens to expose the wizarding world and endanger their masquerade.

From the opening title it’s clear that Warner Bros. aren’t looking to distance Fantastic Beasts far from the world of Hogwarts. James Newton Howard composes an original score for the film but incorporates allusions to John William’s work which helps bridge the familiarity. There’s wonderful nods of recent nostalgia within yet Howard is giving enough reign to put his own mark on the music.

The script itself contains a few nods for fans but Fantastic Beasts isn’t a pale imitation to previous work. It’s a wonderful story that serves as an extension to the Harry Potter films while setting up a series of its own. The resulting film is a glorious journey of magic and adventure that will appeal to both old fans and new. The screenplay is witty and full of humor while not subtle on its political themes of racism and persecution. Despite the underlying themes, Rowling isn’t preaching here and although the third act is as dark

as the franchise has gotten, you’ll be leaving the cinema with a smile.

The set pieces are spectacular as Yates masterfully constructs comical routines and magnificent destruction from one scene to the next, keeping the contrasting tones from merging into a confused mess. Redmayne’s awkward and adorable Scamander is a joy to watch as he bumbles around New York like the fish out of water he is. Yates keeps Scamander’s nascent romance with disgraced Auror Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterson) reigned in, not allowing it to blossom too much knowing there’s many more films to come.

There were those that sneered when Warner Bros. announced that the series would be the first of five films. By the time the credits roll you’ll be thirsty for more. There’s a whole world ready to be explored in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them with enough full of fun and excitement. Harry Potter may be gone but the spirit thrives.

Christmas Carol, The Musical - The last show of the 2016 Stage Coach Theater season is “Christmas Carol, The Musical.” This classic tale revolves around Mr. Scrooge who believes that celebrating Christmas has nothing at all to do with him as he ventures home through the crowded London streets. Everyone he encounters begs for something from him, most especially his money, in his curmudgeonly opinion.

However, he later encounters ghosts and visions of the past, present and most chillingly the future. He foresees his lonely fate and turns his life around on Christmas morning. The many songs, such as “Link

by Link,” “A Place Called Home,” and “God Bless Us Everyone” bring a new dimension to this well-known saga. The music was written by Alan Menken, who has provided award-winning entertainment for nearly 40 years, including “The Little Mermaid” and “Newsies,” along with the TV hit “Galavant.”

He has been named a Disney Legend for his many contributions and that influence can be heard in this production. Lyrics were written by Lynn Ahrens who also wrote “Seussical,” and “Ragtime.” The choreography and songs bring a new level of meaning and enjoyment and a unique experience of a well-known story. “Christmas Carol, The Musical” is not as dark as previous renditions. The cast of more than 50 consists of children and adults of all ages. Scrooge is played by Dave Watson of Aurora and this is his third show at Stage Coach. He was on stage often in his youth but took a 40year hiatus to be an Aurora fireman. Now, in retirement, he’s excited to return to the stage. Dan Hyde is directing his second show for Stage Coach and currently also serves as the president of the Board of Directors. Hyde says this second directorial endeavor brought out his love for working with children on stage, which he didn’t anticipate. It’s a huge commitment and contribution from many people to create costumes, set construction, lights and props and countless other details in order to bring holiday cheer to the community.

Dates of performances are November 25, 26, December 1-4 at 7:30 p.m. and November 26, 27 and December 3 at 2 p.m. at 126 S. 5th Street in DeKalb. Tickets can be purchased online at stagecoachers.com or by calling 815-758-1940.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: New age composer Nicholas Gunn and I will be collaborating on December 9 for an evening of music and spiritual experiences. Please join us at Memorial Hall, 211 N. Main St. This intimate evening has limited seating, you can purchase tickets at ticketfly. com/event/1382493. This will prove to be a memorial experience. As the sun moves into Sagittarius we will experience a lighter energy filled with unity; go within and see how you can contribute to humanity. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Enjoy.

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — The focus may be on a change within your career or residence at this time. Little hints have been arriving and acknowledgments for a job well done continue to flow in. Romance for many of you has been a bit rough. As the sun moves into Sagittarius opportunities for the right fit will arrive as well. A past love or past love interest will have an opportunity to rekindle itself, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Try not to take the behavior of another too personal now. The bull in the china shop energy is not what another needs at this time. Allow them some space to work out a personal issue. By next week you will see a change in their emotional state. A breakthrough with your career is evident at this time. Go for it, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Romantic opportunities are evident during this lunar cycle for those of you in search of love. Many of you have needed to take some down time in order to heal the loss of a previous relationship. You have completed this cycle and are ready for a fresh start. You’re in the right place at the right time regarding your career this week. A legal contract complements your wallet as well as your self esteem, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — If you have felt sensitive and insecure recently, your intuition has played a major part in this situation. You may be worried about another’s health or emotional state. You will see a major change in this aspect shortly.

A friend from your past will surface at this time. You will be delighted with the information you receive, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Take stock in what you have and count your blessings.

Looking at loss will do you no good now.

An upgrade in your career sector is evident at this time. Take advantage of this opportunity and let the powers that be know that you are up for the challenge. You will find a great amount of satisfaction with this new endeavor, Leo.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — The big picture looks a little cloudy at this time, but trust me: the universe does have a bigger plan for you now. If you pass up those that have not put their fair share of effort into life don’t feel guilty about it. Everyone is allowed the same opportunities for growth and positive accomplishments. Take a leap of faith now and grab the brass ring, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Lead by example; it may not be clear now but you have made a powerful impact on someone younger or weaker than you are at this time.

You have the ability to offer something to strive for, someone to look up to. Take this assignment seriously, this is a karmic test that you can pass with flying colors, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — This week your energy levels are beginning to lift and emotions are shifting for the better. You have had some losses and challenges and your heart has been heavy. Expect a change for the better now. Romance is blessed with passionate aspects this week. Take advantage of this emotional windfall, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Your financial sector is improving as well as your debt ratio during this lunar cycle. You are finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not a train after all. Opportunities for romantic encounters appear to be emphasized now that the sun has moved into Sagittarius. Impromptu gatherings put you in the right place at the right time, Sag.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You may be curious as to why you have not heard from a certain individual as of late.

Try not to assume that it has anything to do with you. They may be overwhelmed with personal issues that you are not aware of. When they are emotionally prepared they will surface as though nothing has happened; leave it alone and move forward.

A work aspect is about to change for the better. Enjoy, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You’re beginning to feel like yourself again. Take an opportunity to make connections with friends and family.

A new arrival such as a child or pet opens your heart into a new dimension.

Exchange energy with pure individuals at this time. A boys/girls night out may be needed soon. This will help you blow off some steam, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — The power and the resources that you need to calm your internal storm lie within you.

It’s just a matter of taking a leap of faith and trusting that the universe will not let you down. You can point fingers all day long at those around you, but at the end of the day you’re responsible for your own happiness. Take charge of it, you deserve the best, Pisces.

DO AND BE MORE?

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

M

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 Building Lives • Building Futures additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Thankful

By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. I believe that the most important thing that a person can do is to be thankful for their life and all that God has given them. I feel that one should not focus on what they do not have but focus on what you do have. In 1999, I found out that I had breast cancer and my oncologist told my husband John and myself that if I did not do chemical therapy and radiation, I would never see my son Scott graduate. I believe that God gives us the power to heal ourselves and my schooling in Naturopathy Medicine taught me that there is a wonderful world in God’s pharmacy.

I personally could not do chemical therapy and radiation and I am blessed to tell you that I saw Scott graduate from high school, with his bachelor’s and his master’s. Talk about being Thankful.

Every day is a gift from God and I truly try to educate people in my office on God grace and healing. To know the right foods to eat and what not to eat is the secret to health. If you are eating foods that you are allergic to or eating foods that you cannot break down this will create high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood cholesterol. Food should

be your medicine. A Chinese proverb states “Whatsoever was the father of disease, an ill diet was the mother.”

Garlic: God’s antibiotic.

Capsicum: Stops bleeding and is great for circulation.

Lobelia: A powerful relaxant.

Charcoal: Pulls toxins out of the body and if put on as a paste is great for insect bites.

Ginger: Gets the blood flowing to extremities and is great for nausea.

No diesel in future of US business, says new VW CEO Automaker scraps return to market after emissions scandal

By Andreas Cremer & Alexandria Sage Reuters

Volkswagen will no longer offer diesel vehicles in the United States, its global brand chief said on Tuesday, ending speculation the company might return to the technology after its emissions scandal fades from memory.

The comments by Volkswagen brand Chief Executive Herbert Diess, first reported by European business daily Handelsblatt and confirmed to Reuters by a VW spokesman, were the strongest yet to deny the possibility that diesel - once a quarter of the brand’s U.S. sales - could be a part of Volkswagen’s future U.S. lineup.

Volkswagen reached a $14.7 billion settlement with 475,000 U.S. owners of diesel vehicles and federal and California regulators in

October after admitting to installing secret software in its diesel cars to cheat emissions tests.

In September, Diess told Reuters at the Paris Auto Show the company was not yet ready to

abandon diesel technology, and could continue to offer diesel models for the U.S. market.

Just last week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, Hinrich Woebcken, told reporters he did not believe diesel would ever “come back in the same magnitude as we’ve seen it up to now” in the U.S. market.

“Emissions standards in following years are getting tougher and tougher,” Woebcken said.

“Why don’t you put the money and investments ... to comply with these standards, why don’t you put the money on the spot where the future is?” he asked, speaking of VW’s new focus on electric vehicles.

Luxury car brand Audi, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, still sees a diesel vehicle as possible, its Americas president said last week.

“Once we hopefully get past everything, I see an opportunity for potentially, probably to offer it on one model, and that model would probably be the Q7 SUV,” Audi of America President Scott Keogh told Reuters.

Mr. Green Car

Updates in the field of electric driving

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

A

hh... all good things seem to come to an end. And the notion that folks driving expensive electric cars needed encouragement to buy them via providing free electricity will soon be coming to an end.

On November 7, Telsa Motors issued a press release indicating that beginning with cars ordered after January 1, 2017 they will only be able to have 400 kWh of complimentary Supercharger power, good for about 1,000 miles of driving range. The new, less expensive Model 3, has never been intended to be sold with the benefit of free Supercharger power.

These cars can still be charged quickly along highway routes, but a small fee will be charged to the owner, and will vary with the supply cost of the electricity. Tesla claims that it will still be less expensive than filling up an equivalent tank of gasoline and that it is not their intent to make a profit on supplying electricity to Tesla owners.

They say your best bet is to charge at home and not depend on Tesla for free power.

Owners of older Teslas will still be provided free Supercharger power. So if you think you want a Tesla S and can use the benefit of free Supercharging, you may want to buy your car now. Cars built between

Give AAA Gift Memberships to family and friends.

Put a year of AAA security and savings in their stockings and we’ll throw in a pair of bonuses*:

January 1 and April 1, 2017 if ordered in 2016 will still have free charging.

Tesla embarked on this ambitious program to provide fast charging at places strategically located to provide easy access to interstate highways and a spot where there is someplace to hang out while the car is charging for a halfhour or so. This was envisioned as a way to eliminate the problem for electric cars of not being able to drive long distances. With this established nationwide network, a Tesla (no others) owner can drive completely across the country on electricity and up until now, no cost. This certainly encouraged the well-heeled consumers to buy Tesla cars.

Tesla has received complaints about long lines and unavailability at its Superchargers. Some of this is because owners are not charging at home, but taking advantage of the free power available at the Supercharging stations. I have spoken to limousine business owners who

were proud that their business used Teslas and conveniently located their office next to a supercharger. I have no doubt there are many Uber and Lyft drivers out there who own Teslas and hang out at the Supercharger waiting for rides to appear on their phones. Ordinary folks will do the same thing – use a public charging station that is near their home to get free electricity. And people who may commute to work, and who could make the round trip on the range they have from leaving from home will often plug into their business or public chargers anyway and leave their cars there all day preventing others from using the charger.

So I agree with Tesla that there should not be free charging.

Putting in charging stations, even lowly Stage II charging is expensive. There need to be more of them to encourage electric vehicle use, and I think if owners had to pay for their electricity, they’d be less likely to hog a charging station, or use it at all if they did

not really need it to extend their driving range. I’d also like to see more wireless charging as well. It can all happen without a cord or plug, without a credit card swipe.

Drive into the charging spot.

System knows your car. You get billed for the power. Simple.

Here in Rockford we have few public charging options, so you pretty much have to depend on your vehicle’s own battery range to get by. There are two charge points at Nicholas Conservatory/Sinnissippi Park. There are three charge points at Camelot Towers. There are a pair at Bachrodt Chevrolet. Lastly, the most inconvenient one is at ComEd offices in the southwest corner of Rockford. All are free except the ComEd one (figures). There may be others I’m not aware of.

I’ve been to all of these.

I still love driving on electricity.

I will continue to champion it. But expecting free charging, or even public charging at all should not be part of your plan.

Will corn and soybean surpluses take a hit in 2017?

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The USDA’s November World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report projected that U.S. stocks of corn will grow from 1.738 billion bushels at the beginning of the current marketing year to 2.403 billion bushels at the end of the marketing year. Soybean stocks are expected to grow from 197 million bushels to 480 million bushels.

According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, large increases in stocks are expected even though corn consumption during the current marketing year is expected to exceed that of last year by 948 million bushels (6.9 percent) and soybean consumption is expected to increase by 165 million bushels (4.2 percent).

“Increased corn consumption is projected in both the feed and residual and export categories,” Good says. “A majority of the expected increase in soybean consumption is in the export category. The expected increase in stocks reflects the extremely large crops produced this year.”

Good says the large crops and resulting low prices are creating increased financial stress for corn and soybean producers and a lot of interest in how long surpluses and low prices

might persist.

“For now, much of the focus is on the potential size of the 2017 South American crops and the implications for demand for U.S. crops,” Good says.

“Increasingly, the focus will shift to 2017 production prospects in the United States. The over-riding question is whether surpluses and low prices will persist for another year. It is a bit early to speculate on supply and consumption prospects for the 2017-18 marketing year, but some scenarios can be considered.”

For corn, Good says there is a general expectation that U.S. producers will reduce acreage in the year ahead. A decrease of about 3.5 million acres to 83.3 million acres harvested for grain, seems to be a common expectation right now.

“With such a reduction and a 2017 U.S. average corn yield near our calculated trend value of 168.8 bushels, the 2017 crop would total 14.06 billion bushels, 1.165 billion bushels less than the 2016 harvest,” he says.

“If corn consumption during the 2017-18 marketing year remains at the elevated level of 14.61 billion bushels projected for the current year, stocks at the end of the 2017-18 marketing year would be reduced to about 1.9 billion bushels.”

With a trend yield of 168.8 bushels and a

constant level of consumption, any reduction of more than 0.5 million acres would result in some draw down in year-ending stocks of corn during the 2017-18 marketing year, Good says.

Conversely, a 3.5 million acre reduction along with a constant level of consumption means that an average yield of less than 174.8 bushels would result in some draw down in marketing year-ending stocks.

However, if combined corn production in Brazil and Argentina in 2017 increases by 945 million bushels, as now projected by the USDA, U.S. corn exports would be expected to decline during the 2017-18 marketing year. If U.S. exports decline by 250 million bushels and acreage is reduced by 3.5 million acres, the 2017 average yield would need to be less than 171.8 bushels in order to reduce year-ending stocks.

For soybeans, Good says there is a general expectation that U.S. producers will increase acreage in the year ahead. An increase of about 5 million acres, to 88 million harvested acres, seems to be a common expectation right now.

The extremely high soybean yields of the past three years raise some questions about a potential increase in the trend yield.

“However, if the 2017 U.S. average soybean yield is near our calculated linear trend value of 47.5 bushels and acreage is increased as expected, the 2017 crop would total 4.18 billion bushels, 181 million bushels less than the 2016 harvest,” he says.

“If soybean consumption during the 2017-18 marketing year remains at the elevated level of 4.108 billion bushels projected for the current year, stocks at the end of the 2017-18 marketing year would grow to about 580 million bushels.”

According to Good, with a trend yield of 47.5 bushels and a constant level of consump-

tion, any increase of more than 2.85 million acres would result in some further growth in year-ending stocks of soybeans during the 2017-18 marketing year.

On the other hand, a 5 million-acre increase in soybean area along with a constant level of consumption means that an average yield of more than 46.3 bushels would result in some increase in marketing year-ending stocks.

However, if combined soybean production in Brazil and Argentina in 2017 increases by 210 million bushels, as now projected by the USDA, U.S. soybean exports would be expected to decline during the 2017-18 marketing year. If U.S. exports decline by 100 million bushels and acreage is increased by 5 million acres, a 2017 average yield of more than 45.2 bushels would result in some increase in year-ending stocks.

“There are obviously multiple potential acreage, yield, consumption, and ending-stocks scenarios for the 2017-18 U.S. corn and soybean marketing year,” Good says. “The most likely scenarios tend to favor a modest reduction in marketing year-ending stocks of corn and a modest to large increase in marketing year-ending stocks of soybeans.

“The corn market currently appears to reflect expectations of reduced stocks, with the December 2017 futures price 37 cents higher than the December 2016 price. The soybean market is apparentlynot convincedthat stockswillcontinueto grow next year, with the January 2018 future price only 6 cents lower than the January 2017 price.

“The soybean market appears to be reflecting more production risk than reflected by the corn market. Perceived production risk may stem from current drought conditions in the southeast U.S. and/or uncertainty about potential impacts if a La Niña episode unfolds.”

Understanding soil biology for healthy soils

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

As I’ve covered in the last couple of weeks on soil chemistry and physical properties, the last remaining piece in understanding your soil is the biology.

The biological part of soils is contained in the soil organic matter (SOM). Organic matter contains about 90 percent of the soil nitrogen and 40 percent of the soil phosphorus. From a soil management view, you should be concerned about SOM because it will usually be only 1-5 percent makeup of the soil with mineral solids (45 percent), water (25 percent), and air (25 percent) the final three parts.

If your SOM is low, it may limit your microbial communities and your soil nutrients.

It takes time to build SOM, sometimes 10-15 years to add an additional percent. Positive contributions to SOM include composts, manures, cover crops, mulches, crop rotation, and others.

Within SOM, there are microrganisms, insects, and mammals. Just as a forest and ocean has a food web, so is there one in the soil. Fungus, bacteria, actinomycetes, algae, nematodes, and other microscopic organisms live in the soil either breaking down

materials to release nutrients for plant uptake and/or being eaten by larger predators.

Earthworms, spiders, and other insects contribute equally to your soil in feeding on prey and releasing nutrients. You need an active soil biological community in order to have long term healthy soils. When you add an amendment to the soil such as a compost or a manure, this is food for this biological community which will begin to break it down, increase in population, and lead to increases in soil predators.

Your best option to maintain a happy and healthy soil biological community is to feed it in the spring. Adding compost, composted manure, cover crops, and any other type of organic material to your soil will keep this community active. As the soil temperatures increase in the spring, this is when an amendment can be added. Crop rotation, even a row over, can aid in modifying your soil biodiversity. Reduced tillage can further help as any tilling practice will lead to a microbial population that needs to be rebuilt.

Next week, I’ll examine soil health and how we connect soil chemistry, biology, and physical properties together.

Survival mode now the standard for Fox’s Bears

Questions piling up around head coach’s future as fast as PED suspensions

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

M

aybe it’s not all bad at Halas Hall when you consider that old adage “when it rains, it pours” used to have a positive connotation. Piling on negativity ironically didn’t originally apply.

Though, while used as an advertising slogan for a salt company, it’s come to be mainly adopted into the general lexicon of disaster, catastrophe, etc.

And is there any better way to describe the 2016 Bears season after Chicago’s 22-16 loss to the New York Giants? Objectively no.

The Bears came into this year with elevated expectations albeit none related to any playoff aspirations. Chicago was supposed to take a progressive step in John Fox’s second season and begin to show signs of hope for the future. Given the young talent that’s emerged such as tailback, Jordan Howard, the center, Cody Whitehair, and outside linebacker, Leonard Floyd, the latter part of that assertion still holds true. Something to build on in setting a contending foundation.

But that improvement in team results to ingrain a step in still-setting concrete?

All barred off with caution tape, prepared to close up shop for 2017’s training camp.

Caution is mentioned for just how decimated injury-wise the Bears are.

It was really of no consequence that they came out and competed well with a current playoff team in the Giants. From an early pretty over-the-top touchdown to tight end Zach Miller, to drives matriculating down the field with incremental short passing to neutralize a vicious Giants pass rush. All smart and efficient play from quarterback Jay Cutler, a week after sinking the Bears in Tampa Bay. Yes, stretches of that game had you wondering what was with this Jekyll and Hyde squad. Believing that this Chicago team will at least make the final stretch run entertaining to watch while seeing those previously mentioned young talented pieces flash and more.

And yet, all is for naught in hoping for a moral victory, especially if you can’t leave the field healthy. A hard fought game from a shorthanded Bears team would only add to these woes and no doubt have head coach John Fox exasperated and exhausted at all of the horrible fortune at play.

Chicago came into the game without the right side of its offensive line in Kyle Long

and Bobby Massie. Alshon Jeffery was unavailable due to a mandated PED suspension.

And your nose tackle, Eddie Goldman, was inactive due to a bum ankle, after returning just a week earlier.

By the time the Bears left East Rutherford, New Jersey, it would’ve been fair to assert that they double their medical staff. From Miller being lost to a broken foot, ending his season, to All-Pro caliber guard, Josh Sitton rolling his ankle, the misfortune kept going and going.

The tensest moment was when one of those foundational pieces in Floyd, was brought to his knees after leading with the crown of his helmet while trying to make a tackle. Instead, he went straight into his teammate, Akiem Hicks, as his body recoiled instantly. He would seemingly receive attention from every doctor on hand – let alone either sideline’s team physicians – as MetLife stadium sat in petrified silence awaiting for any sign of hope.

Floyd would travel home with the team after precautionary tests in the hospital, as none of his injuries were deemed life or career threatening. He’s now in the concussion protocol, but not without sending a chill down the Bears’ spines.

“We were just very, very happy and relieved…,” said Fox to the Chicago Tribune of Floyd’s condition. No doubt a thought not unique to the veteran coach alone.

Life has a funny way of throwing everything possible in your face when you’re at your lowest. Monday’s collective sigh of relief from the Chicago brain trust, eventually brought about more displeasure.

The first major post game hit was when linebacker, Jerrell Freeman – who had been playing at an All-Pro level – was suspended for four games in accordance with the PED policy like Jeffery. In a statement, Freeman apologized to everyone, while noting he “made a mistake with my prescription medication for which I take full responsibility.”

Freeman’s carelessness in conjunction with Jeffery’s – two crucial players – paints a picture of a lack of discipline, and otherwise further casts Fox into a darker cloud. Yes, he isn’t the one supposed to individually monitor his players take in making sure they properly read labels, but two suspensions to two stars in one week is more than a trend.

Five PED suspensions in his tenure demonstrates complete mismanagement.

To top all of this discontent off, Cutler is now out for the season after suffering a shoulder injury late against New York. He was the difference from mediocrity and outright atrociousness for this Bears team, and he’s gone again in a flash.

From preseason on, Chicago now has 12 of the original 22 projected starters out for

the time being. The list seems endless from cornerbacks Deiondre’ Hall and Kyle Fuller, to Cutler, Goldman, Long, Massie, Sitton, Floyd, Jeffery, Miller, White, and Freeman. It makes you wonder if the 2016 Bears ever had a chance.

With the formerly third-string quarterback in Matt Barkley stepping in, it’s fair to wonder if the Bears can even win once in the final six games. It’s worth contemplating if a victory or merely showing up to play is worth it. One break in fortune, and the Bears could enjoy another “banner” day and start to jeopardize a 2017 season – the last thing anyone wants.

The overall plan and vision of general manager, Ryan Pace, hasn’t been derailed, it’s just taking more stops than usual. Given his great drafting history, the positive outlook is that the Bears will definitely have high draft position to capitalize and add blue chip talent to this budding core.

But that’s above all concerns for the time being. This team first would do well to come out of 2016 in one piece. Cornerback Tracy Porter perhaps summed up the chaos best.

“Can we get anything good going for us? … It just feels like bad things continue to pile up on us.”

That “good” for Porter and the Bears, is at this point, mere survival in a crawl to the finish.

Week 12 vs. Tennessee Titans

It doesn’t get any easier for Chicago with the budding Titans coming into town. Led by a future face of the league in quarterback, Marcus Mariota, Tennessee as a whole looks like it’s on the cusp of sustained dominance.

When the Bears are on defense: This is

the Bears’ defense’s toughest assignment yet.

Tennessee has the league’s second-best offense yardage-wise, and doles out an efficient balance not many teams can match.

It’s all led by the NFL’s third best ground attack bolstered by Mariota and running back, Demarco Murray – who is second overall in rushing individually. All of this success is primarily due to football’s second best offensive line led by rookie tackle, Jack Conklin.

The Titans have employed an exotic smash mouth offense that opponents have really only been able to slow, not stop. If Chicago’s offense can’t get going, the defense’s efforts might not matter. They are at serious risk of being worn down over time by Tennessee on Sunday even if they initially play well.

When the Bears are on offense: Barkley at quarterback should mean a probable 40 carries between each of Chicago’s tailbacks.

Anything less, and it’s difficult to see the Bears not being blown out of the water.

If the game comes into Barkley’s hands at all, Chicago will be in dire straits, regardless of the competition of any defense.

The quality of Tennessee’s 29th ranked defense here doesn’t matter. A quarterback that can’t make the simplest throws strikes no fear into anyone.

The only way the Bears win this game with some sort of offensive success is if Howard goes supernova with 200-plus all-purpose yards. With the Titans in all likelihood keying in on Chicago’s ground game without a viable passing game to compliment, the odds of that happening are moderately low.

Early pick: Titans 34 Bears 9.

Tales from the Trough

PERFECT PAIR

IceHogs go undefeated in Week 6 of season

By Todd Reicher Contributor

The Rockford IceHogs turned things around this week with a pair of wins – one on the road and one at home.

Wednesday, November 16 saw the IceHogs travel to Iowa to face the Wild who beat Rockford earlier this month in overtime. Rockford avenged the loss with a 3-1 win, thanks to their special teams play.

One of the IceHogs nemesis, Teemu Pulkkinen, scored the game’s first goal with a power play blast at 3:28 of the opening period.

The defensemen for Rockford continued to put up points for the ‘Hogs as Ville Pokka got in close to even the score at 1-1 at 11:22. Pokka’s power play marker came 29 seconds into the advantage – Rockford’s first of the game.

Rockford would go two-for-two on the man advantage early in the second with Tanner Kero scoring his third of the season to give Rockford their first lead of the game. Pokka would add his second point of the game with the secondary assist on the go-ahead goal.

A bench minor for too many men on the ice by Rockford would be killed off, keeping the score 2-1 Rockford past the halfway point.

Kurtis Gabriel would get caught holding at 17:02, giving Rockford another power play chance late in the second. Once again, Rockford would convert and Maxime Fortunus would go off for hooking at the same time of the Sam Carrick goal to put Rockford up 3-1.

Rockford IceHogs forward Spencer Abbott slides the puck past Texas Stars net minder Maxime Lagace in the first round of the shootout in Saturday’s game. After trailing 4-1 in the third period, Texas rallied to tie the game at 4-4, however, Rockford would prevail in the shootout, taking home the second point. Todd Reicher

The third period would get feisty at the midway point with P.C. Labrie tangling with Mike Weber, who tussled earlier with Brandon Mashinter. Weber was sent off for a 10-minute misconduct for his second fight of the game, and then Luke Johnson would dance with Nick Seeler three minutes later.

Rockford would earn two more penalties

late in the game, but Rockford’s defense would stop the Wild as Rockford held on to a 3-1 win.

Lars Johansson, who appears to have taken the reigns of starting goaltender for Rockford, stopped 30 of 31 shots.

Saturday Rockford hosted the Texas Stars for their first meeting of the season.

A high-flying first period saw a combined 30 shots in the first 20 minutes and a 1-0 IceHogs lead.

Erik Gustafsson put Rockford ahead with his third goal of the season 7:55 into the game to give Rockford a 1-0 lead. Johanssen, getting his second start of the week, stopped all 16 first period shots he faced while Maxime Lagace stopped 13 of 14 Rockford shots.

The IceHogs defense extended Rockford’s lead to 2-0 with Carl Dahlstrom potting his third goal of the season 2:20 into the second period. Lagace seemed to be fighting the puck in the first two periods, which Rockford took advantage of. Dahlstrom’s shot from between both circles was fed from Labrie and Kyle Baun on the secondary assist.

1:31 later, Texas’ Denis Gurianov scored his second goal of the season on a perfect cross-ice pass from Ludwig Bystrom.

Rockford converted on their second power play of the game at 11:23 of the period to once again give Rockford a two goal lead. The

goal came on the first half of a double-minor high-sticking penalty. Mark McNeill carried the puck deep into the offensive zone, and Gustafsson got loose onto the left side of the net and shot the puck over Lagace’s outstretched blocker for his second of the game.

McNeill extended Rockford’s lead to 4-1 at 4:48 of the final period with a shorthanded goal. Captain Jake Dowell carried the puck deep behind the Stars net and found McNeill streaking towards the center of the offensive zone. McNeill sent a shot in on net which surprised Lagace, giving the center his third goal of the year.

However, the speedy Stars turned the game around in a matter of two minutes with two goals of their own to cut the Rockford lead to 4-3.

Cole Ully scored his sixth of the year at 5:27 of the period and Brandon DeFazio matched Ully with his sixth of the season 70 seconds later.

With Rockford trying to hold onto the lead and sit on the puck, Texas’ Andrew Bodnarchuk scored his fourth of the season with 2:39 left to complete the comeback and tie the score at 4-4. Texas dominated Rockford in the third period holding an impressive 18-2 shot advantage, and outscoring Rockford 3-1.

Neither team was able to tally a goal on the three-on-three overtime session, sending the game to a shootout. Rockford won their only other shootout game of the season with a win against Milwaukee in week two.

Both shooters scored in the first round with Spencer Abbott scoring first and Brendan Ranford scoring next for Texas.

Martin Lundberg scored with a nifty shot to put Rockford up in the second round with Ully being thwarted by Johansson for Rockford.

McNeill and Travis Morin were unable to convert in the third period as Rockford held on in the shootout to win 5-4.

Looking forward

Rockford will play three games in four days with the first two at home. The IceHogs first game will take place tonight against the Cleveland Monsters and will host the Milwaukee Admirals on Friday. The IceHogs will then head off to Chicago on Saturday to face the Wolves for Rockford’s final game of the week.

Toews: slow start or starting too slow?

By Adam Hess Contributor

W

hile the Chicago Blackhawks remain one of the top teams in the NHL’s Western Conference this season, they have ascended to that spot on the backs of just a few of their top players.

Corey Crawford has been the NHL’s best goaltender thus far this season, and Patrick Kane has been producing at an efficient rate, even if not the same torrid pace he was at last season, as he has 20 points in 20 games so far.

However, one of the big name players that has been extremely underwhelming this season for the Blackhawks is their captain and number one center, Jonathan Toews. ‘Captain Serious,’ as he is often referred, has been seriously disappointing to start this year, as he’s produced just twelve points (four goals, eight assists) in the

team’s first 20 games. That has him on-pace to post just about 48 total points this year, which is hardly worth even half of the $10.5 million he accounts for against the salary cap.

There have been many hypotheses from Blackhawks fans and experts alike as to what has been the biggest cause of Toews’ struggles this year. Inconsistency in linemates – a theme that was also present for much of last season for Toews – has been considered, and may have some legitimacy to it. Toews has played with several different wingers this year, including Richard Panik, Nick Schmatlz, Tyler Motte, Marian Hossa, and Patrick Kane.

However, two of those names on that list – Kane and Hossa – are both having excellent seasons early on.

Kane is at a point-per-game pace through 20 appearances, and Hossa has been quite

close to that as well, with 17 points (11 goals, 6 assists) in 19 contests. The “demi-god” found the back of the net for the first time this year in the Hawks fourth game – earning his 500th career goal in the process – and has hit a stride ever since. It’s a refreshing bounce back for Hossa after a largely disappointing 2015-16 campaign.

So while Toews has seen a bit of a carousel of linemates so far, one would think their success would rub off on him. After all, Toews is still considered one of the game’s elite forwards, and he didn’t get that reputation without reason. He has plenty of offensive skill within him, and has showed it in droves in several past seasons.

The biggest concern Blackhawks fans should have regarding Toews is not his linemates, though; it’s that maybe this is not just

Toews starting slow, but rather Toews starting to slow. It’s no secret that in today’s NHL, a player’s prime is no longer his age 25-30 seasons, but his 20-26 seasons. At age 28, Toews is past that, and starting to inch closer to that dreaded age of 30, when several players’ games start to deteriorate rapidly.

That’s not to say that Toews cannot bounce back and end up hitting a hot streak and finishing with upwards of 65-plus points this season. A hot run in December or January could end up being the difference in a disappointing mid-40’s point total, or a satisfying mid-60’s. He certainly has the talent on both ends to produce at that level. But if he doesn’t start showing more flashes of that offensive prowess it might be browbeating time for the Hawks and their fans.
