In Brief Protesters burn flags after Trump tweet

A small group of hard-left activists burned foot-long U.S. flags outside the Trump International Hotel in New York on Tuesday, in an angry response to a tweet by President-elect Donald Trump that flag-burners should face legal consequences. Social media was itself ablaze on Tuesday in response to Trump’s tweet, which suggested that burning the U.S. flag should be punishable by a year in jail or a revocation of citizenship. Trump’s provocative tweets on flag-burning and other topics, including efforts to recount the Nov. 8 presidential vote, came as the Republican worked to fill his Cabinet in advance of his inauguration in January. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that flag-burning was not a crime but rather a form of protest protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. The high court has also ruled more than once that citizenship cannot be revoked. Media outlets, including the New York Times, published articles detailing the court rulings, and some Republicans as well as Democrats took to social media to say Trump was in effect threatening to punish dissent despite constitutional protections.

Officials threaten fines for pipeline protests

North Dakota officials on Tuesday moved to block supplies from reaching oil pipeline protesters at a camp near the construction site, threatening to use hefty fines to keep demonstrators from receiving food, building materials and even portable bathrooms. Activists have spent months protesting plans to route the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline beneath a lake near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, saying the project poses a threat to water resources and sacred Native American sites. State officials said on Tuesday they would fine anyone bringing prohibited items into the main protest camp following Governor Jack Dalrymple’s “emergency evacuation” order on Monday. Earlier, officials had warned of a physical blockade, but the governor’s office backed away from that. Law enforcement would take a more “passive role” than enforcing a blockade, said Maxine Herr, a spokeswoman for the Morton County Sheriff’s Department. “The governor is more interested in public safety than setting up a road block and turning people away,” Herr said by telephone. Officers will stop vehicles they believe are headed to the camp and inform drivers they are committing an infraction and could be fined $1,000. These penalties should serve as a hindrance, according to Cecily Fong, a spokeswoman for the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services. A spokeswoman from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe was not immediately available for comment.

State Budget Crisis

Unpaid bills may be financial time bomb By Dave McKinney & Karen Pierog Reuters

CHICAGO – Illinois owes a handful of financial consortia more than $118 million under an obscure program intended to speed up overdue payments to the cash-strapped state’s vendors, an analysis of state records shows. Political feuding between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the legislature has kept Illinois without a full operating budget since July 2015, contributing to a doubling of the unpaid bills backlog. The amount of overdue bills could reach $13.5 billion, or 40 percent of available operating revenue, when the current fiscal year ends June 30, the Rauner administration has projected. Come fiscal 2022, the backlog is projected to balloon to $47 billion. No other U.S. state defers payments to the extent Illinois does to manage cash flow, credit-rating analysts said. The one-of-its-kind, bill-payment program seeks to avert the nightmare scenario for a state in the worst financial shape in the country: a shutdown of essential services such as employee health insurance, a disruption of prison food supplies or mothballing of state trooper cars in need of fuel and maintenance. “I don’t think there is any other alternative for us,” Illinois Central Management Services Director Michael Hoffman told a legislative panel in May. But it comes at a heavy cost with unlimited late-payment fees now approaching 20 percent in some cases for Illinois’ cash-strapped government, whose general obligation (GO) low-investment grade credit ratings are the lowest among U.S. states. The state’s negative credit outlook means its $26 billion of outstanding GO bonds could lurch closer to the junk level if the growing unpaid bill pile impairs its ability to provide essential services, affects debt payments and inflates its already huge $130 billion unfunded pension liability.

A handful of firms with ties to the Governor’s inner circle and other political dynasties are profiting from Illinois’ dire straits. “No other state or business would operate by incurring obligations to its vendors and setting up a third-party payment structure that dramatically inflates the costs of those services,” said Laurence Msall, president of the Chicago-based Civic Federation, a non-partisan government watchdog. Under the Vendor Support Initiative (VSI) program launched last year to replace a similar plan introduced in 2011, state vendors can get paid without delay 90 percent of what they are owed by state-designated financial lenders. When the state finally pays, the vendors get the final 10 percent, while the lenders keep the late-penalty fees. In Illinois, receivables more than 90 days past due accumulate interest at a rate of 1 percent per month.

Banks and insiders

For the lenders, the risk is that the state will not pay up and they will

need to fight for compensation in courts, but that has not happened yet. The firms include financial institutions such as Citibank and Bank of America, a distressed debt investor tied to a Rauner campaign donor, and political insiders, including Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager and a former two-term Republican Illinois governor. Lindsay Trittipoe, majority investor of the second-largest consortium, Illinois Financing Partners LLP, told Reuters his group was performing a vital function rather than exploiting the state’s financial miseries. “Our money is flowing into the market, helping the wheels of commerce to keep working,” he said. Citi and Bank of America declined to comment for this story and representatives from the largest state-qualified buyer of receivables, Chicago-based Vendor Assistance Program, and some of its investors

did not respond to interview requests. Fees on unpaid bills in the program have been growing by more than $2.6 million per week and could exceed $194 million by June 30, according to a Reuters analysis of state data as of Sept. 28. By the end of Rauner’s term in January 2019, total interest on unpaid receivables in the program could exceed $351 million if there is no progress in reducing the bill backlog, Reuters calculations show. That total represents more than what Illinois allocated in operating funds last June to keep seven of its nine public universities open for six months.

No limit

As of late September, four participating VSI lenders had bought 15,369 unpaid receivables worth $1.12 billion under the program.

Late-payment penalties on those billings surpassed $118 million and continue to grow, Reuters has found. Illinois law places no limit on how long the late fees can accrue and since 2010 the state has spent about $929 million in late-payment penalties, according to state comptroller data. Three of the four firms now involved also took part in a similar program launched under previous Democratic Governor Pat Quinn. Its current version has sparked questions over how firms were vetted, a lack of up-to-date disclosures about their owners and financing, and patchy accounting of vendor payments. Additionally, state business registration of one of the firms, Payplant LLC, expired two months before the program’s launch, according to the Illinois secretary of state’s office. A company representative blamed “a procedural lapse” and said it had begun the process in October to reinstate its LLC status. “The focus should be on transparency,” said Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs, a Democrat. “If we have a program like this, we don’t want to turn it over to loan sharks.” Using the state data, Reuters calculated the average rate on late payments at 8.14 percent through late September. During that same period, the Dow Jones Industrial Average only gained 3.65 percent. “It seems that (it) creates a real perverse incentive for them to wait as long as they can,” Democratic Representative Elaine Nekritz said about the buyers of vendor invoices. State spokeswoman Meredith Krantz defended the program, saying it helped vendors “be paid more quickly than the state’s payment cycle would otherwise allow.” One big non-profit participating state vendor, Chicago-based Safer Foundation, saw no other options. “Do you want to get nothing or 90 percent now and the other 10 percent later?” said Victor Dickson, the group’s president and CEO. “We chose, ‘Let’s get 90 percent and keep serving our clients.’”

No other state or business would operate by incurring obligations to its vendors and setting up a third-party payment structure that dramatically inflates the costs of those services.”

Investors, including the state treasurers of Illinois and Connecticut, called on Wells Fargo to require an independent board chair, saying the bank needs stronger oversight in the wake of a scandal over fake customer accounts. Although Wells Fargo already has shuffled its leadership structure, Connecticut Treasurer Denise Nappier on Tuesday said the investor group has filed a shareholder resolution for the San Francisco bank’s annual meeting next spring seeking a change in its bylaws. Improvements need to be formalized, she said, because a board whose chair is also chief executive – the dual role once held by John Stumpf at Wells Fargo – creates a potential conflict of interest. “At the end of the day, the company’s shameful conduct was fueled by poor governance that fostered a culture of irresponsibility and

deficiencies in risk management,” Nappier said in a statement. “Wells Fargo’s predatory and illegal banking practices have proved that the company needs a set of independent eyes to ensure stronger, unbiased oversight,” Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs said in a statement Tuesday. “Recent revelations demonstrate Wells Fargo’s weak internal controls. When the CEO also serves as Board Chair, essentially as his own boss, there is simply a lack of accountability at the highest level of the organization.” Via email, Wells Fargo spokesman Ancel Martinez said, “We appreciate the feedback that we receive from our investors and we will review the proposal.” Stumpf resigned on Oct. 12, bowing to pressure following a $190 million settlement the bank reached with regulators in Septem-

ber. Reviews found the bank’s staff opened as many as 2 million accounts without customers’ knowledge to meet internal sales targets. Stumpf was replaced as CEO by the bank’s president, Tim Sloan. The role of board chair was given to Stephen Sanger, who had been Wells Fargo’s lead director and was listed as independent in the bank’s latest proxy filing. Nappier called the splitting of the roles “a welcome first step” but said Wells Fargo must still put a better leadership structure in place. Co-filers of the resolution included shareholder adviser Hermes EOS and Needmor Fund, which had filed before Stumpf’s departure. Frerichs had earlier cut some state business with Wells Fargo, such as suspending its use as a broker dealer and halting more than $30 billion in investment activity. –Wire & Staff reports

Despite strike, O’Hare, other airports expect no delays

One of Illinois’ most powerful unions has organized a strike for non-union workers at O’Hare airport, although it’s unlikely to result in any delays or cancellations. Hundreds of non-union baggage handlers, wheelchair assistants and jet cleaners walked off the job Monday night at O’Hare International Airport as part of Fight for $15, a nationwide push for higher minimum wages organized by the Service Employees International Union. University of Illinois School of Labor and Employment Relations Professor Michael LeRoy says some unions have taken to these “quickie strikes” as an alternative to following labor laws. “They’ve gone back to a pre-1935 framework of not seeking formal recognition, not seeking a contract, but seeking a shortterm objective which is, in this case, higher wages,” he said. “Unions are increasingly giving up on formally seeking status as a collective bargaining agent and pressing on without the rules and obligations that go with it and seeking what they’re now calling ‘direct action.’” LeRoy says the unions find that direct action is much more effective than following labor laws that may dilute unionization and striking efforts. Twenty-year-old Kimberly Edwards is a psychology major at Harold Washington College and a food worker at O’Hare. She’s participating in the strike because she feels corporations owe workers higher wages. “We would have a better life and a stronger economy if corporations just played their role by giving us $15 an hour,” she said. “Workers have to choose between paying their bills or providing food for their families.”

The strikers are hired by a number of different subcontractors, all answering to the Chicago Department of Aviation. O’Hare, Peoria International, and the Abraham Lincoln International in Springfield all say they expect no delays or cancellations due to the strike. Central Illinois Regional Airport would not confirm any disruptions at their Bloomington terminal.

Deer hunting season opens with solid harvest

Hunters in Illinois fought off high winds for a solid first weekend in the state’s firearm deer season. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) released the results of last weekend’s firearm deer hunt. Hunters in Illinois harvested a preliminary total of 54,452 deer during the first weekend of the Illinois Firearm Deer Season on Nov. 18-20, roughly 3,400 less than the first weekend in 2015. “We anticipate more good opportunities for hunters in the second half of the season which will be December 1st through the 4th,” IDNR spokesman Tim Schweizer said. Temperatures in Illinois on the 18th reached unseasonable highs in the low 70s, but cooled off Saturday and Sunday. Schweizer said it was the high winds kept some tree stands empty. “Some hunters said the wind was too much. They just decided it was too windy to be out, consequently didn’t spend much time in deer stands on Friday and particularly on Saturday.” Breaking down the harvest, Adams County led the state with more than 1,642, followed by Randolph county with 1,582. IDNR wants to remind hunters that a new rule allows hunters with a valid Illinois

firearm deer permit to use archery equipment during firearm season on private land only. Archery permits are not valid during the firearm season, except in those counties closed to firearm deer hunting. Schweizer said there was some confusion over the rule last weekend.

Lower prices, mild weather could save money this winter

A mild start to the winter and lower salt prices could make winter 2016 cheaper for taxpayers in Illinois. Salt prices are down. States, cities and counties are looking at about $50 per ton of salt this year as opposed to over $60 per ton last year. That plus mild weather could save taxpayers money. Brian Williamsen with the Illinois Department of Transportation says if it’s another mild winter, the state could see another year of low salt usage. “Our salt usage is down a fair amount. We used 316,000 tons last year,” Williamson said. “That’s quite a bit less than the previous year, a lot less than two winters before that, and less before even the winter before that.” Salt and chemicals accounted for about $20 million of the $51 million I-DOT spent on clearing the roads last year. Williamsen said 3,800 snow plow drivers cleared 48,000 miles of roads across the state last winter, and that I-DOT is ready to do more, or less this year, whatever the winter throws at them. “We prepare for the worst winter, every time around,” Williamsen said. “So we’re prepared for the worst, whatever may come our way.” –Illinois News Network

Great Smoky Mountains fires leave ‘scene of destruction’ By Laila Kearney & Dan Whitcomb Reuters

Local officials said on Tuesday that “the worst is over” for two small Tennessee resort towns in the Great Smoky Mountains where wildfires destroyed or damaged some 150 homes and other structures, forced thousands to flee and threatened country music star Dolly Parton’s theme park, Dollywood. The flames, driven to the outskirts of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge overnight by hurricane-force winds and fed by droughtparched brush, forced 14,000 people to flee and sent three to hospitals with severe burns, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said. NBC News reported that three people had been killed in the wildfires, citing local officials. Reuters could not immediately confirm that report. While downtown Gatlinburg was untouched by the flames, heavy smoke and an orange sky hung overhead as motorists packed roads in an attempt to leave town. “I can tell you that we’ve all been overwhelmed at the scene of destruction in the county and primarily in the city of Gatlinburg,” Sevier County Mayor Larry Waters told reporters at a press conference. Gatlinburg Mayor Mike Werner said that about half of the town of some 3,000 people, known as the “gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains,” had been affected by the blazes. Gatlinburg Fire Chief Greg Miller said the so-called Chimney Top fire exploded on Monday evening as humidity dropped and wind gusts reached nearly 90 miles per hour. “I can tell you this, whatever we deal with today is not gonna be anything like what we dealt with last night. The worst is definitely over with,” Miller said at the news conference. About 12,000 homes and businesses were left without power in the area and some 2,000 people sought refuge in shelters, officials said. Downed power lines and fallen trees sparked several smaller fires, local media reported. Members of the state’s National Guard have been called in to assist first responders. Firefighters have battled dozens of wildfires across the U.S. Southeast in recent weeks. “It’s the apocalypse on both sides” of the city’s center, volunteer Fire Department Lieutenant Bobby Balding told local 9News.

How will energy policies shift?

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

W

ith a December 1 deadline looming, it appears a path has been found to pass an Illinois Energy Bill. Solar developers are pleased that amendments to the bill eliminate the controversial demand charge and preserve net metering which supports the residential solar market. An existing cap on net metering of 5 percent of total peak demand remains in place. With solar penetration in the state at 0.1 percent, it will be a while before the cap is reached. Unknown at present is what will happen if the 5 percent goal is reached. With continuing technological progress in solar energy, inverters and battery storage, Amy Hart of solar developer Sun Run believes it is premature to determine what will happen to compensation after the 5 percent limit is reached. However, she feels it is important for stakeholders to have a role in future negotiations. The bill currently includes a 10-year subsidy limited to what is necessary to keep the Exelon plants in Clinton and the Quad Cities operating. Critics still feel the subsidy is an unnecessary ratepayer expense as the company remains highly profitable. Others express concern that the bailout sets a precedent which will be applied to other nuclear plants in Illinois as they become too costly to operate. Historically, the environmental movement has been closely tied to the push for renewable energy. However, in the push for nuclear subsidies, environmental, citizen and business interest were not a unified voice. With the December 1 deadline, we should soon know the outcome of the legislative battle. The potential passage of the bill has stimulated solar farm developers to search for farm owners willing to lease their land for 20 years to host solar farms. They have met with and sent mailings to farm owners describing the potential use of their lands. We will have to wait a while longer to see what happens at the Federal level regarding energy policy. While purely speculative at this point, weekly broadcasts by the Energygang spent some time discussing potential energy policies of the Trump Administration under the title of Donald Trump’s Game of Whack-A-Mole on Energy and Climate. If the Trump Administration does not live up to previous U.S. international commitments on reducing carbon emissions, China appears ready to fulfill its commitments and take the lead in assisting countries develop

wind and solar facilities. The Energygang sees renewable energy as a wealth building opportunity for nations around the globe. With OPEC still funding renewable energy it will be up to the private sector in the U.S. to make the case that renewable energy installations offer economic opportunities and jobs for U.S. workers. Investments in renewable energy through loans and cash represent 55 percent of the new funding for renewable energy, surpassing lease arrangements for the first time. Considering the advanced state of renewable technologies the business case is clear – the transition to renewable energy is currently the world’s biggest wealth creating opportunity.

As pointed out by Jigar Shah, all four energy sectors receiving heavy investments – fracking, ethanol, wind and solar – primarily occur in rural areas. Since Trump’s victory was rural based, it will be interesting to see how the four energy sectors will be impacted by federal policies. Iowa’s Senator Grassley is already on record as protecting his state’s investment in ethanol and wind energy. Given Trump’s views and those of some of his advisors on climate change, it is unlikely that renewable energy and efficiency will garner much federal support. But the Energygang believes private interests will continue to invest in solar energy. Visit illinoisrenew.org.

Undisclosed

Experts say that required filings mean we may not know until 2018 if Trump’s foreign business deals violate the Constitution. By Derek Kravitz ProPublica

T

he question of whether President-elect Donald Trump will run afoul of federal conflict-of-interest rules or the Constitution because of his extensive foreign investments has been the subject of intense scrutiny among legal and ethics scholars. Legally, his foreign licensing deals could violate the Constitution. An example: During his presidential run, Trump’s name was used to market a never-finished luxury hotel in Azerbaijan, built by the billionaire son of the country’s transportation minister. The deal earned Trump more than $2.8 million between January 2014 and May 2016, according to financial-disclosure filings he filed as a candidate. (See his 2015 and 2016 reports here.) If this type of deal occurs during his presidency and fetches anything above what’s considered fair market value, it would almost certainly violate the Emoluments Clause, a provision of the Constitution ­­­­­­meant to head off conflicts between the national interest and presidents’ self-interest. The clause, in Article 1, Section 9, of the Constitution, prevents the president from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind w­­­hatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” A more stringent interpretation of the clause — which has never been tested in the courts — would bar a president from receiving any payment from a foreign government entity. A violation of the Constitution could result in impeachment proceedings. But how will we know if Trump is violating the clause? Because of limited financial-disclosure requirements, we might not. There are two reasons for this: One is that the disclosures required from presidents are limited. The other is that Trump has refused to voluntarily release his tax returns or other business details, a significant break from presidential administrations dating back to Jimmy Carter. “You can’t grasp all the potential conflicts and issues that the Trump empire poses by just looking at a personal financial disclosure,” said Matthew T. Sanderson, an attorney at Caplin & Drysdale who has served as legal counsel on three Republican presidential campaigns.

And Trump won’t have to file a comprehensive annual report of his assets, income, gifts and stock portfolio until May 2018, according to U.S. Office of Government Ethics requirements. (Trump has so far refused to release his federal or state income tax returns; three pages of his 1995 New York state income tax return obtained by The New York Times showed he declared $916 million in losses but few other details.) Trump Organization executives and lawyers did not respond to ProPublica’s requests for comment. As a presidential candidate, Trump filed two financial-disclosure reports detailing his private companies and assets. More than 100 of the companies listed have licensing or management agreements in other countries, including China, India, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Among his most prized assets: 12 U.S. golf courses, three more in Ireland and Scotland, and two underway in the United Arab Emirates, along with a 30 percent stake in two office towers in New York and San Francisco. Trump Organization officials have said the president-elect’s business empire will be overseen by his three adult children—Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka. (Former Presidents Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush all put their assets into blind trusts during their terms; Obama’s portfolio in Treasury bills and index funds was not seen as a conflict.) But Trump hasn’t heeded calls from ethics and legal experts (and others including the Wall Street Journal editorial page) who say his foreign assets should be sold off en masse and his businesses be placed in the hands of an independent trustee during his presidency. Trump addressed the issue on Twitter, saying it was “well known that I have interests in properties all over the world” and arguing that “only the crooked media makes this a big deal!” The potential for Trump’s decisions as president to impact his business holdings loom large. “What happens if there are federal activities in the proximity of these golf courses or hotels that positively or negatively impact their value,” said Lawrence Wright, a professor of economics at New York University’s Stern School of Business

and a former federal antitrust regulator. “He’s got a zillion things going on and I don’t see how he can effectively disengage.” Barring more disclosures, an outside review of Trump’s business activity is difficult. In the days following his election, at least five Trump-affiliated holding companies, most of them long inactive, have been dissolved in Delaware and New York, ProPublica has found. But it’s unclear if Trump is consolidating his empire before he takes office or simply shuttering dormant companies. And getting an accounting of how much he’s profiting, or losing, from his business dealings is near impossible. Shortly after the election, Trump met with three Indian business partners who are building a Trump-branded apartment complex in Pune, just outside of Mumbai. In his 2015 financial disclosure, Trump noted several foreign licensing deals, including the one for the 23-story Pune towers. Trump reported between $100,000 and $1 million in income from the deal in his 2015 disclosure. The next year, he reported no income from the deal. The estimated value of the contract in both years, according to the financial disclosure: between $1,000 and $15,000. (Federal disclosures rules only require a range of income amounts for things like stock dividends, rent and royalties.) To put this incongruity in context, Trump’s licensing deals typically fetch between $5 million and $10 million. Meanwhile, a 75-story Mumbai skyscraper currently under construction by the Lodha Group is also reported in the filings. The royalty income from that deal reported in 2016 is in line with previous Trump deals: between $1 million and $5 million. The Mumbai deal’s valuation was one of several listed that was deemed “not readily ascertainable.” As president, Trump will be required to file both annual and periodic financial-disclosure reports under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. But unlike a balance sheet or an audit, the financial disclosures are limited and don’t provide a complete picture of Trump’s businesses. “They are the very, very tip of the iceberg,” said Richard W. Painter, an outspoken critic of Trump’s business conflicts who served as the White House’s chief ethics lawyer under

You can’t grasp all the potential conflicts and issues that the Trump empire poses by just looking at a personal financial disclosure.’

George W. Bush. “They don’t get at the second and third layers.” Among the things excluded from the disclosures: tenants in Trump-owned buildings and their rents, along with debts owed to government-owned sovereign wealth funds. And if he makes any errors in his filings, it’s generally up to the White House counsel’s office — a Trump appointee — to decide what action to take. Trump will have some additional disclosure requirements as president that he didn’t have as a candidate: He will have to list all gifts he’s received and any transactions within 45 days of a purchase or sale of a stock. Obama Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, a Chicago billionaire who started five companies and who has served on the boards of several Fortune 500 firms, routinely files such disclosures; So far in 2016, she has filed 17 of them. But company liabilities are exempt from federal reporting requirements. Trump owes Deutsche Bank, his largest lender, roughly $300 million in loans against his recently opened hotel in Washington, D.C., and a resort in Doral, Florida. But it’s unclear what his companies might owe and to whom. And presidents aren’t subject to federal laws prohibiting members of Congress from government dealings that overlap with their own financial interests. The extent of Trump’s potential conflicts is unique, but he’s one of many elected officials and executive branch appointees to grapple with such issues. Hank Paulson was forced to sell off nearly $600 million in Goldman Sachs stock before taking over as Treasury Secretary in 2006. Lyndon B. Johnson’s wife, Lady Bird Johnson, purchased a radio station, KTBC-AM in Austin, in 1943 and, when her husband was in the Senate, directly approached an official at Federal Communications Commission about a regulatory review.

Hate incidents rise sharply after Trump win By Scott Malone Reuters

The number of hate and bias incidents reported across the United States spiked in the 10 days following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, according a report released on Tuesday by a civil rights advocacy group. The report, by the Southern Poverty Law Center, documents 867 incidents ranging from assaults to threatening graffiti messages, based on incidents reported to the group or by news media. That is a major increase from the normal rate of hate incidents reported in the United States, said Richard Cohen, the group’s president. “What we’re seeing is something quite un-

usual. People are reporting seeing swastikas painted in neighborhoods that they’ve lived in for 20 years. We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Cohen, who has tracked hate groups for three decades. The incidents included numerous cases of people threatening apparent immigrants with deportation and vandalism deriding black Americans, many of which cited Trump’s victory. They followed an historic presidential campaign in which the New York real estate developer vowed to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, promised to deport millions of unregistered immigrants and mulled restricting Muslim immigration. Since his victory, Trump has said he rejects acts of violence or harassment, and disavowed the so-called “alt-right” white nationalist movement, which has been a vocal supporter of the president-elect. Cohen called on the Republican to do more. “What we’d like to see Mr. Trump do is acknowledge that his own words have fueled the outbreak of hate that we’re seeing. He needs to take responsibility and stop pretending he’s surprised,” Cohen said in a phone interview. “He needs to speak forcefully and repeatedly against bigotry.” A spokeswoman for Trump’s transition office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump campaigned on a populist platform summed up in his “Make America Great Again” slogan and has vowed to be a more forceful advocate for the U.S. middle class in his negotiations on trade, security and other international issues than his predecessors. The report found that close to one-third of

the incidents that followed the Nov. 8 election represented anti-immigrant sentiments while about one in five were anti-black. Others targeted included lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, Muslims, Jews and women, while

23 incidents reflected anti-Trump feelings. It cautioned that it was not able to verify the authenticity of each of the claims but said it had excluded those that had been disputed by authorities or the news media.

COMMUNITY From the Slave Quarters to Kwanzaa at the Ethnic Heritage Museum

The performance will conclude with a Kwanzaa celebration. Music will include spirituals and songs that help to extend each story’s message. Poetry, and a slave dance called “pattin’ the juba” will be interspersed throughout the scenes and stories.

Holiday trees donated by PPSOC

The gorgeous tree gracing the Ogle County Courthouse lawn this holiday season was donated by the Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County. It was grown on the PPSOC’s Sand Ridge property on S. Daysville Rd., Oregon. On a sunny November morning, Oregon Park District employees cut the tree, selected several weeks before by Debbie Dickson, Chamber of Commerce director, and Bob and Sonia Vogl, PSOC Board members. In only a few minutes, the men cut and loaded the tree and selected, cut and loaded a second for the Nash Center, also a donation by PPSOC. Visit both places during this holiday season and enjoy the beauty of freshly cut local trees, still fragrant with the perfume of an evergreen forest. PPSOC, a non-profit organization, sells trees to raise funds for restoration and maintenance of the site’s natural areas. (The courthouse and Nash trees were donations.) –Sonia Vogl

Electioneering

State GOP flips on voter registration bill

Bill that passed both houses with overwhelming support prior dies on House floor By Alice Miranda Ollstein ThinkProgress

O

n Tuesday, the Illinois General Assembly narrowly voted to uphold the governor’s veto of a bill that would have automatically registered two million voters across the state. The override failed by just four votes. Fifteen House Republicans supported the bill earlier this year. On Tuesday, zero did. Thirteen changed their votes, and two have resigned. Rep. Ed Sullivan, Jr., R- Mundelein, said he changed his vote after he came to understand the “unintended consequences” of the policy, which has already been enacted in Oregon, California, West Virginia, Vermont, Alaska, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. “Certainly all of us want to make it easier for more people to vote, but we didn’t make it right,” he said on the House floor. “We can

do it better.” Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner also warned of “unintended consequences” when he vetoed the bill in August, alleging the policy could “inadvertently open the door to voter fraud,” but presenting no evidence of this threat. Study after study has found such voter fraud to be vanishingly rare, and federal courts have recently held that the threat of illegal voting is not a serious enough justification for laws that make it harder for eligible voters to participate. Had the veto override passed, Illinois would have begun automatically registering state residents to vote every time they visited a Department of Motor Vehicles, office of Human Services, office of Healthcare and Family Services, the Secretary of State’s office, or an Employment Security office. Advocates for the policy point to the example of Oregon, which saw record levels of participation after implementing automatic voter registration earlier this year. In Illinois, even a small increase in voter turnout could have huge political implications. In 2015, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel narrowly held onto his seat, defeating progressive challenger Chuy Garcia by fewer than 60,000 votes in the city of nearly three

million. Rauner’s own election was decided by fewer than 200,000 votes. Advocates for automatic voter registration estimate that it would bring an additional 2 million already eligible voters into the political process. On Tuesday, Rep. Carol Ammons, D-Champaign, blasted her Republican colleagues for voting against the bill they once supported, accusing them of expressing a “desire to deny people the right to vote.” She also attributed Gov. Rauner’s opposition to the bill to “concern about his own reelection” in 2018. “They don’t want to expand the voting franchise, they want to make it smaller,” she said. Following the veto, Republicans introduced their own competing automatic voter registration bill, and cited it Tuesday when voting no against the original, bipartisan version. “We have offered an alternative that we think is better,” said Rep. Tom Demmer,

R-Rochelle. “Let’s take the time we have until the next election takes place to get this right.” But Trevor Gervais with the government watchdog group Common Cause Illinois noted that the Republican version has no timeline for the policy’s implementation. “What we anticipate happening is that it would be delayed until after the governor’s reelection in 2018,” he said. “It’s very clear what his motives are for that.” As the president-elect considers an Attorney General with a checkered record on voting rights, and Republicans take control of more state legislatures and governor’s mansions across the country, Gervais lamented the Illinois did not opt Tuesday to make voting more accessible. “We’re stepping into four years of direct attacks on voting rights,” he said. “Here in Illinois we actually had an opportunity to expand voting rights before the attacks began, but instead we’re going to do nothing because of our billionaire governor.”

We’re stepping into four years of direct attacks on voting rights.”

Commentary

Questions I never got to ask Fidel

By Paul Webster Hare The Conversation

D

ear Comandante en Jefe: I write now after your death to raise some of the questions that have often concerned me, but that I never had the opportunity to ask you in life. My family and I lived in your country for three years. I was British ambassador to your country from 2001 to 2004. I met you and several members of your and your brother’s family on several occasions, but a diplomat isn’t encouraged to ask questions like these. My family traveled throughout the beautiful island of Cuba and got to know many of your fellow citizens. We even have Cuban family ourselves. The husband of one of our daughters has a Cuban grandmother, and our Cuban-born cat Rolando lived with us in the United States for 13 years. When news of your death reached me, these were the questions I realized I had left unasked: 1) You came to power in 1959 as a successful revolutionary guerrilla fighter and as a wildly popular leader. You projected youth and openness. You ousted the corrupt and brutal Fulgencio Batista, who had ruled Cuba unconstitutionally, and you welcomed contact with the foreign media. In your first months in power, you launched a moderate program of land reform, literacy and popular participation. You even appointed some officials who were not direct followers of your movement. But, almost immediately, you also punished a loyal follower, Huber Matos, by sending him to prison for over 20 years. Matos did not like your movement toward communism, but he never threatened you. Another contributor to your victory was Cleveland native William Alexander Morgan, the “Yanqui comandante.” You liked him, but about a year after you took power, he was executed. Was this purely vindictive? 2) You sent teachers and students to teach the illiterate to read and write. You used Soviet resources to train doctors and take clinics to rural Cuba. But why did you close the

church schools when you and Raul had been educated by Jesuits? I understand you wanted equality, but many children and their parents lost their rights to school choice when you made this decision. 3) You strove to build a government of the poor, for the poor, by the poor. But why did you also remove for many years the influence of the Catholic Church? Priests who had helped the poor were persecuted and forced to leave Cuba. 4) You skillfully built an enduring alliance with the Soviet Union and received subsidies and military and industrial equipment. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev supported Cuba’s interests by getting a promise from the United States that it would

not invade Cuba. But why did you suggest during the crisis that you didn’t care if Cuba become embroiled in a nuclear war? Would you really have been ready to lose everything? 5) While taking Soviet support, you promoted Cuba as a major international player and became a leader of the Non-Aligned Movement. Many in the decolonizing world saw you as a model. You gave confidence to many small countries that they could survive and develop during the Cold War. You intervened to reinforce left-wing independence movements in Africa. But you spoiled your credentials by failing to condemn the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and China’s crackdown at Tiananmen Square. Why, as a confident world leader,

didn’t you have enough stature to reject an overseas occupation and side with other revolutionaries looking for change? 6) After the collapse of the Soviet Union, you had no Plan B until the arrival on the scene of Hugo Chavez’s oil-rich Venezuela. Encouraged by Chavez, you relaxed your attitude to the church and accepted the growth of tourism, foreign investment and even some private businesses. You even allowed former U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 2002 to address Cubans on television mentioning the reformist Varela petition. Why then, only a few months after the Carter visit did you arrest and jail approximately 75 peaceful members of the opposition who were no threat to you and had used

a provision in your own constitution to present the petition? This negated the narrative that you were mellowing and would write a final chapter of greater openness. 7) You sent Cuban doctors and other medical staff to dozens of countries and invited foreign students to medical school in Cuba. No one begrudged you charging for these services. But why did you never pay the doctors themselves more than a small fraction of what your government earned? 8) For years in Cuba, including when I served there, it was prohibited for Cubans to even enter tourist hotels or restaurants. Our 15-yearold son was very proud to have been ejected from a tourist hotel because the guards thought he was Cuban. How did this policy differ from the apartheid you criticized and fought against in South Africa? 9) You gave millions of Cubans free education and health care and created specialist biotech institutes and even a computer science university in Cuba. Why did you not provide salaries for the graduates which would enable them to live in dignity while working for your government? Did you not trust them to spend the money wisely? No one can live in contemporary Cuba on US$25 a month. 10) You talked many times of wanting to promote a battle of ideas in Cuba. So why did you insist on what even your brother has called a “false unanimity” in the media and your own party? 11) You said often that you were never an enemy in the American people, but rejected the hand of friendship offered by President Obama after over 50 years. So was it really true – as I expect it is – that you never really wanted the embargo lifted after all? Here are the questions that will never be answered. If you had acted differently on even some of these issues, the world might be more tolerant in considering your legacy.

Unnecessary. Unfunny. By Thomas Simpson Contributor

‘T

is the season once again and it’s time for all the old Christmas classics to be dusted off. While movies such as It’s A Wonderful Life and Die Hard will always have a place at this time of year, there’s always room for something new to fill the stocking. Of course, there’s a reason some films stand the test of time whereas Bad Santa 2 will be lucky if it’s still in cinemas come Christmas. The first Bad Santa was released in 2003 to generally favorable reviews, praised for its dark wit and offensive humor, it was a refreshing comedy for the festive season. It took 13 years for a sequel to be released and halfway through watching you’ll wonder why they bothered. Willie (Billy Bob Thornton) hasn’t got a grip on his life and finds himself living alone in squalor. A botched suicide attempt turns out to be a silver lining as his old partner and enemy Marcus (Tony Cox) has a big score lined up that will make them both rich. Neither man seems averse to ripping off a charity, however Willie does have reservations about teaming up with his mother (Kathy Bates). Still, money is thicker than blood so let the festivities begin. For those that didn’t bother with the first film, the opening five minutes will pretty much determine if this film is for you. The jokes are crass and come quick and easy even if you know that laughing at them will send you to hell. The problem is that the script quickly runs out of gas before the midway point. The same jokes start being repeated and what was once offensive becomes increasingly dull. There are attempts to inject some sentimentally while we reach a predictable conclusion but the payoff

never feels earned, instead the journey is pedestrian at best. Credit to the cast as Thornton, Bates and Cox do the best with the material they’re given. They have a naturally great chemistry but their talents can only be stretched so far with Bates’s horrible mother routine having worn thin way too early. Christina Hendricks and Ryan Regent are forced into the script with

two dimensional characters complete with a clichéd backstory that add nothing to the plot or humor. Brett Kelly returns as Thurman Merman and although he’s all grown up he remains one of the more interesting characters onscreen. His doe eyed innocent man-child demeanor is amusing and helps add some heart to the story even if it isn’t fully utilized.

Bad Santa 2 is more Bland Santa and is more likely to bore audiences than offend them with asinine humor. It’s a lazy sequel that could have easily went straight to VOD but instead finds itself with a cinema release. Stick with the classics for now.

Cutting the Bard’s plays ‘creative destruction’ By Bruce Smith The Conversation

T

he Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has been the site of many creative adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays. The latest, Ivo van Hove’s “Kings of War,” which ran at BAM from Nov. 3 to 6, is a multimedia mashup of characters, lines and scenes from Shakespeare’s history plays. “Extensively cut,” “deeply cut” and “severely cut” are some of the favorite phrases used by the reviewers of these types of experimental stage and film adaptations. Ben Brantley, in his New York Times review of “Kings of War,” observes that Van Hove and his adapters have decided “to strip the texts down to their political marrow.” The implication is that deleting lines – not to mention deleting entire scenes and characters – is an act of cultural vandalism. It recalls Velázquez’s “Rokeby Venus,” slashed with a chopping knife by suffragette Mary Richardson in 1914, and Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch,” attacked three times during the 20th century, twice with knives. Cutting, however, doesn’t necessarily mean getting rid of something. It could mean prizing something so much that you want to cut it out and save it, perhaps putting it to creative use in something you’re making yourself. A “cut,” in this sense, could be a speech that you’re using for an audition or a scene you’re reworking in a short story or a character you’ve decided to make the subject of a painting. Cuts cut both ways. What has been cut out can be discarded on the cutting-room floor or it can be made the centerpiece of something new. In such cases, cutting up Shakespeare is not an act of destruction but an act of creation. Professional playwrights in Shakespeare’s time even thought about creating scripts as “cutwork,” like constructing costumes by cutting and stitching. When playwrights collaborated on a script, each writer got separate pieces, in the form of separate scenes. Shakespeare participated in several such joint-author enterprises in the course of his career, and an argument has been made recently that Christopher Marlowe was one of his collaborators. In the four centuries since Shakespeare’s death, artists in all kinds of media have carried out creative cutwork of their own.

Cutwork across four centuries

Decades before the types of cutwork we’re seeing today, beat writer William S. Burroughs and his friend Brion Guysin wielded pairs of scissors, cut up Shakespeare’s texts and rearranged them into verbal collages alongside

cuts from other writers. Particularly fruitful, they discovered, were cuttings that juxtaposed fragments of Shakespeare’s sonnets with fragments of Arthur Rimbaud’s poems. The effect, they said, was the creation of “a third mind.” I came across these examples in the Berg Collection in the New York Public Library, and they’re published, for the first time, in my recent book “Shakespeare | Cut.” But creative cuts have actually been taking place since the 1590s, when readers came into possession of Shakespeare’s plays in their earliest print editions. In diaries and so-called “commonplace books,” these early readers transcribed the phrases, sentences and speeches that they found to be particularly striking. Cuts of a different sort were inserted by printers on title pages: woodcuts and engravings showing particular characters (often depicted, cartoon-like, with banderoles coming out of their mouths) and particular scenes. Cuts of characters and scenes were joined by author cuts, beginning with the engraved portrait of William Shakespeare on the title page of the 1623 First Folio. Yet another variety of cuts came to the fore in the 18th century, when cuts of the actors playing certain characters emerged in paintings and engravings. Successive forms of new media – lithography, photography, sound recording, video – have brought actor cuts, in particular, to the forefront in public consciousness of Shakespeare. Think of David Tennant’s Hamlet, Judi Dench’s Cleopatra, Laurence Fishburne’s Othello, or Michael Fassbender’s Macbeth.

Why cuts? Why now?

Today, Shakespeare cutwork takes place on stage, in film, in installations and online. Van Hove’s “Kings of War,” with its video monitors giving access to hidden spaces, mirror closeups and news conferences, exemplifies how media can converge in contemporary cutwork. The cutwork in Annie Dorsen’s “A Piece of Work,” an adaptation of “Hamlet” that ran at BAM in 2013, was even more radical than Van Hove’s work. Each performance of Dorsen’s “Hamlet” was different, thanks to computer algorithms that generated entirely new combinations of words, visuals, lighting and music over the course of five “parts” corresponding to Shakespeare’s five acts. The algorithm shifted from one part to the next. And from one performance to the next. The resulting cuts – including speech prefixes and stage directions – were projected on a large screen. Only in Part Four/Act Four did a live actor come up from the audience

to speak a soliloquy that was being created then and there by the computer’s algorithm-of-the-moment and transmitted to the actor, in real time, via earbuds. Mashups of Shakespeare on YouTube may be less pretentious than these theatrical performances, but they speak to a strong desire to intercut 400-year-old fragments from Shakespeare with everyday modern life. Craig Barzan’s “Hamlet on the Street” and Noor Ghuniem’s “The Tempest – The Missing Scene” are particularly striking examples. If you watch YouTube on a smartphone while you walk or let your attention wander to other people, objects and events around you, the intercut between art and life becomes a physical fact. Make the device a smart watch, and the time factor is palpable: 1616 is juxtaposed with 2016 “in real time.” But if cutwork with Shakespeare is nothing new, why has it become a fetish in the 21st century? One reason, surely, is the ease of making cuts with digital technology. Another reason, just as surely, is fragmentation in contemporary culture – fragmentation that may itself be a function of digital technology. A related factor is the general speeding up of contemporary life, exem-

plified in the clip culture that dominates YouTube. Judging from YouTube postings, the two-hour duration of Shakespeare’s stage performances can now be no longer than 15 minutes, preferably 10. More disturbing is the thought that the violence of contemporary cutwork – its radicalism, its defiance of tradition, its psychological fascination – is connected with actual violence in the culture at large. If so, the situation now may not be so different from the situation in Shakespeare’s lifetime, when most adult males carried weapons in the form of knives or swords and violent crime was rife. Shakespeare most frequently uses the word “cut” in relationship to body parts. At a deep level we should acknowledge the connections, in early modern culture and in contemporary culture, between cuts as bodily violence and cuts as violent ways of making art. At a more fundamental level still we can point to the “gappy” nature of perception: We perceive the world in a series of cuts lasting no longer than three seconds. Most important of all, however, is the selection and arrangement of experience that goes into the making of all forms of art. Cutting can create as well as destroy.

Ongoing Deconstructing the American Landscape - Exhibition remains on view through Jan. 29 at Rockford Art Museum, inside Riverfront Museum Park, 711 N. Main St. Related education programs held throughout the exhibition include Coffee with the Curator on Friday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. Organized by Rockford Art Museum and curated by RAM Curator Carrie Johnson, this exhibition and its related educational programming are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency and by the Armer Ahlstrand Charitable Foundation. RAM education programs are supported in part by Women’s Art Board. 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 40-year 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 December 1-4 at 7:30 p.m. 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: The new moon in Sagittarius yesterday as well as the sun planted firmly in Sagittarius create opportunities to resolve old worn-out issues as well as opening doors for new beginnings. This lighter energy creates positive images that can be put into action effortlessly. We are taking a sabbatical from the uphill struggles and battles we’ve experienced in recent planetary climates. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Your family will be going through a major healing process at this time, as a result of an outside influence with a keen eye for the unusual. An old romantic problem will be put to rest once and for all and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. As a result of this, your energy level shifts and you can focus on your long-term goals now, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— This would be a good time to make up lost time or energy with another. If there is a karmic debt to be paid, it’s time to even the score and be fair about it. Otherwise, you will continue to stumble on your own path. After a long year of trials and tribulations, you can see how this may be affecting you. Finances are taking a turn one way or another, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Last min-

ute changes within your schedule provide opportunities to expand your financial as well as your social sector at this time. A major breakthrough with romantic contacts arrive as well, leaving you feeling a bit overwhelmed yet cautiously optimistic. You’re able to leave the past behind you once and for all and move towards a new dynamic that complements your dreams, ambitions and goals for the future, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — You may be a little bored with all of the responsibilities on your plate early on this week. This is a great time to distribute tasks to those who are standing on the sidelines with nothing better to do than to watch you struggle. A fresh start with a romantic interest puts things in the proper perspective at this time. You both realize that you’re on the same page now, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — An unexpected offer or contract sets you above and beyond your own expectations now. You feel as though you can breathe a bit before starting in with your next endeavor. This is a great time to re-evaluate your heath and general well-being at this time. If you have been overindulgent with certain elements, you’re in a prime position to leave these darker aspects behind for good, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — Before you flee the country try setting some boundaries in your own backyard first. If it appears you are revisiting the same type of energy exchanges over and over, take a step back to figure out why. If you remove yourself from

the moment you can recognize what’s really at the bottom of it all. By week’s end, an important factor weaves its way into your fabric, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Be brave and do not let another to manipulate your emotions now. Instead of worrying about negative aspects that may happen, focus on all of the blessings that have occurred up until this point. This glass half empty mentality that you have been harboring is not doing you any good and is drawing in more of the same type of energy. The perfect solution for a long-standing problem arrives by week’s end, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — There is a definite shift in the way you are handling your own inner fears at this time. Instead of projecting them on to others, you are facing them head on and removing them one by one. As a result of this, those around you may be more interested in exchanging energy with you. Romance seems to be falling into place at this time. The past is in the past for good now, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — The new moon in your sign as of yesterday will influence you in a very positive light. The energy will remain with you throughout the week and provide you with the clarity you so richly deserve. Mercury moves finishing its tour in your house of finance on December 2, so take advantage of this while you can. You will find creative ways to enhance your cash flow, clear up some debt and set some money aside for a rainy day. Enjoy, Sag! Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — This long-drawn-out legal element or frustrating contract should be put to rest shortly. This will give you an opportunity to focus more on your personal long-term goals. There may be a worry involving the health of a friend or family member this week. Try to remain objective and don’t panic. The end result is more positive than the initial problem, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You may want to focus on a long-term financial plan at this time. You will be in a position to make favorable contacts shortly. As a result of this business is booming in one way or another. The weekend provides time to concentrate on a personal matter more closely. You have the perfect solution to a long-standing problem by week’s end, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You may be a bit spooked by information you receive during dream time or experiencing strong feelings of deja vu. Understand the messages we receive are to benefit us and not to harm us. Allow this to work to your advantage, clarity will be evident by week’s end. Finances are improving shortly; don’t panic, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

DO AND BE MORE?

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.

Voices from the Grave

Thou shall not covet By Kathi Kresol Contributor

The events that took place on November 7, 1948 happened so quickly that witnesses would find it difficult to remember the exact sequence. There were other details that were abundantly clear, however. When it was all over and the smoke had cleared, two men lay dead and a young woman was missing. Events leading up to the tragedy had begun months earlier when two couples moved next to each other on North Second Road. Glen Marsh and his wife Audrey moved into a small house right next to Vernon and Catherine Anderson in March of 1948. They had a lot in common and quickly became friends and managed to find time to get together during that spring and summer. It was during this time that Glen and Catherine, or “Kit” as she was called, began to spend more time together away from their spouses. Soon, Glen went from being smitten with the pretty young housewife to completely obsessed. Kit returned Glen’s affections but she started to feel guilty about the affair and decided to take a step

back. She went for a visit at her parent’s house in Michigan to think things over. Before Kit left she told Vern of the affair. Kit’s father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Muhrlein brought her back to Rockford in early November. Kit made the decision to stay with her husband. Vernon and Kit decided to start over and planned to move to Michigan. Glen’s wife, Audrey told Glen of Kit and Vern’s decision probably hoping that this information would make her husband realize that the affair was over. If Audrey thought that this would end Glen’s infatuation with Kit, she was wrong. The news made Glen enraged. He grabbed something from his chest of drawers and left the house. Audrey frightened by her husband’s reaction went to the Anderson’s house to warn them. Vernon decided that it might be safer for the family to spend the evening at his parent’s house on Sixth Street. Kit’s father accompanied them. That evening when they were preparing dinner, the whole family gathered in the kitchen. Vern’s sister Mabel was sitting the three young

Rockford’s founding years

E

very-other week, The Rock River Times will bring you a glimpse back into the earliest days of Rockford, from its founding in 1834 to the Civil War. Taken from a series of advertisements from the old Rockford National Bank, these short tales and original illustrations paint the narrative of Germanicus Kent and the people who followed in laying the foundations of our city. “The basis for all of these advertisement are authentic historical facts, gleaned from long careful study and research of Government, State, and local records,” says the introduction to this collection of artifacts. “The illustrations by the author are in a major share of instances pen drawings from old print; if no pictures were available they have been created from data supplied by research.” This week, we look back on the blossoming State Street district on 1845, as the town’s population breaks the 1,000 person mark for the first time.

Anderson children at the table while Kit helped Vern’s mother, Gertrude finish the cooking. Kit’s father, Grant and Vern were also in the room. Vern’s mother heard a soft tap on the door and before Vern could stop her, she had opened it. Vern shouted, “Mother, don’t open the door.” Getrude screamed as Glen forced his way into the room with a gun in his hand. Gertrude stated in her testimony later that everyone was yelling and that Glen came in shooting. She saw her son fall to the ground first and then Grant. Gertrude shouted to Kit to “Run for your life.” She saw Kit run into one of the bedrooms before Glen shoved her against the wall. He told her that if she was quiet no harm would come to her. Gertrude screamed. Glen shoved the gun into her stomach and pulled the trigger. But the gun didn’t fire. Glen raised the pistol and struck Gertrude on the head with the butt causing her to collapse on the floor.

Glen chased after Kit and drug her from the house kicking and screaming. He forced her into the car waiting at the curb and then he drove off into the night. Gertrude regained consciousness only to find the two men dead in the kitchen. Vernon and Kit’s children had witnessed the whole horrible event. The police arrived quickly and took everyone’s statements. The search for Vern and Grant’s killer and Kit’s abductor began. Several hours later and one hundred miles away, a car pulled into a motel parking lot. When Glen left the car to enter the office Kit realized that this might be her only chance to escape so she grabbed the gun that Glen had left on the seat and ran. Glen knew any further escape would only postpone the inevitable so he made his way back to Rockford and surrendered to authorities. The courts decided to hold separate trials for the two murders. The

trial for Vern was held in January, 1948. The jury acquitted Glen of the murder of Vernon Anderson. The trial for the murder of Grant Muhrlein was held in May of 1948 and ended in a conviction for murder. Glen was sentenced to 199 years in prison for the death of Grant Muhrlein. He was paroled in December of 1963 but was sent back to prison when he stole a gun. Marsh was paroled again and two months later in August of 1967, he was killed in a car accident near Peoria Heights. Visit hauntedrockford.com.

Local 4-H members and adult volunteers honored

U of I Extension

ROCKFORD – The stage was set on Sunday, Nov. 20 for the annual Winnebago County 4-H Recognition Event held at Midway Village and Museum Center in Rockford. This is an annual event where 4-H members are awarded for their outstanding accomplishments throughout the year and 4-H volunteers are recognized for all the time and energy they give to support the Winnebago County 4-H program. 4-H members receive awards based on award applications they fill out. “The award applications are a way for 4-H’ers to explain progress and challenges they faced while

completing their projects,” states Stacy Cwiklo, University of Illinois Extension 4-H Program Coordinator. “It also gives them a chance to highlight other activities they’ve participated in at the club, county, and state levels.” Winnebago County adult volunteers gained special recognition for being leaders in a 4-H club for 25 years or more. Those leaders reaching their 30-year anniversary are Kelly Schafer (Rockford) of the Rockfordettes 4-H Club, Jane Anderson of Rockton and Marlene Strohman (Rockford) of both Guilford Gainers and Midway Marvels 4-H Club. Reaching her

42-year anniversary was Marjorie Penwarden (Rockton) of the Owen Blue Bonnets 4-H Club. Mary Ann Arenson (Pecatonica) was also recognized for 43 years as a 4-H Leader of Stars, Stripes & Clovers 4-H Club. 4-H Club of the Year award was earned by the North Main Rustlers 4-H Club, led by Janet Pollock (Rockford) who has over 36 years of leadership in the 4-H program. The 4-H Member of the Year award is the one of the most prestigious award a member can receive at the county level. This year, the Jr. Member of the Year was Jocelyn Kuntz of the Owen Blue Bonnets

and the Sr. Member of the Year was Charles Meyers of North Main Rustlers. Both received a check from the Winnebago County 4-H & Extension Foundation as well as a plaque commemorating their achievement. A new award called 4-H Bright Futures was awarded to Lindsay Ward of South Beloit for her outstanding efforts in an agricultural 4-H project. Lindsay went on to earn a Superior rating at the Illinois State Fair for her project. This award was sponsored by Green Leaf and Tractor Supply Company. Reita Baird of Durand was honored for being 4-H Volunteer of the Year for her achievements and

assistance with the 4-H program. Every year, the Illinois 4-H Foundation recognizes one 4-H volunteer per county for exemplary service to the Illinois 4-H program as a Hall of Fame winner. This year, 74 new members were inducted into the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame, and Betsy Carlson, leader of the Owen Blue Bonnets 4-H Club was one of those inductees. Betsy has spent most of her adult life making youth feel included and part of the 4-H program. She dedicates her time and talent in shaping young lives and teaching life lessons through the various 4-H project areas that 4-H has to offer.

EPA Renewable Fuel Standard rallies soybean oil prices

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – From Oct.13 through Nov. 25, the price of January 2017 soybean futures increased by 8.4 percent. The higher prices were led by soybean oil prices, with the January 2017 futures price up 9.4 percent during the same time period, reports University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good. The latest support for soybean oil prices came on Nov. 23, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the Renewable Fuels Standard for 2017 and the biomass-based diesel volume requirement for 2018. The renewable fuel requirement for 2017 was established at 19.28 billion gallons, compared to the proposed requirement of 18.8 billion gallons announced in May of this year and the 2016 standard of 18.11 billion gallons. The requirement for biomass-based biodiesel for 2018 was established at 2.1 billion gallons, equal to the proposed requirement, 200 million gallons larger than the 2016 requirement, and 100 million gallons larger than the 2017 requirement. The 2017 requirement for total advanced biofuels was set at 4.28 billion gallons, 670 million gallons larger than the 2016 requirement and 280 million gallons larger than the 2017 requirement. The implied conventional biofuels (ethanol) requirement for 2017 is 15 billion gallons, 200 million gallons larger than the proposed requirement and

500 million gallons larger than the 2016 requirement. “The larger advanced biofuels requirement for 2017 is expected to result in more biodiesel production than anticipated and may signal even higher requirements in the future,” Good says. “More biodiesel production means more demand for biodiesel feedstocks. The potential magnitude of those increases will be analyzed in an upcoming farmdoc daily article, but will be determined by how much of the total advanced and conventional biofuel requirements are met with biodiesel and how much of the total renewable fuel requirement will be met with the existing stock of biofuels credits in the form of outstanding Renewable Identification Numbers.” Each gallon of biodiesel production requires approximately 7.4 pounds of feedstock, Good explains. For example, the U.S. Energy Information Administration Monthly Biodiesel Production Report, reported domestic biodiesel production of 142 million gallons in August 2016, with total feedstock consumption of 1.045 billion pounds. The primary feedstocks used in U.S. production of biodiesel are vegetable oils (soybean oil, canola oil, and corn oil); animal fats (poultry, tallow, and white grease); and recycled feeds (yellow grease). Nearly 54 percent (561 million pounds) of the biodiesel feedstocks consumed in August was soybean

oil. The USDA’s Nov. 9, 2016 report of World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates shows that 5.675 billion pounds of soybean oil were used domestically to produce biodiesel from methyl ester in the 2015-16 marketing year. Use during the current year was projected at 5.95 billion pounds. That number accounts for 29 percent of projected domestic soybean oil consumption and 26 percent of total soybean oil consumption that includes exports. “The EPA’s final rulemaking implies that domestic biodiesel production and feedstock consumption will exceed previous projections for the current marketing year and beyond,” Good says. “The magnitude of the increase in consumption of soybean oil will depend on the magnitude of increase in biodiesel production and the mix of feedstocks used. It is likely that soybean oil will garner a larger share of the feedstock increase due to a more limited supply of other feedstocks. Each 100-million-gallon increase in biodiesel production might increase domestic soybean oil consumption by 444 million pounds if soybean oil captures 60 percent of the increase in the total feedstock consumption [(100 million gallons X 7.4 pounds) X 0.60].” The question becomes, how much room is there to expand soybean oil consumption during the current marketing year if the domestic soybean crush is at the projected level of 1.93 billion bushels?

According to Good, the USDA projects soybean oil production during the 2016-17 marketing year at 22.29 billion pounds, consumption at 22.6 billion pounds, and ending stocks at 1.658 billion pounds. Assuming that minimum year-ending stocks are 5 percent of consumption (1.13 billion pounds), then soybean oil consumption can expand by 528 million pounds without requiring an increase in the domestic crush. “The EPA announcement initially resulted in a surge in soybean oil and soybean prices,” Good says. “Increasing soybean oil consumption for biodiesel production this year and beyond may require the domestic soybean crush to be larger than previously thought, leading to some important longer-term pricing questions. Historically, the domestic crush has been driven by soybean

meal demand since meal is not easily stored. If the crush resulted in surplus oil supplies, they were stored. If a shortage of oil occurred, oil prices increased to reduce consumption. “Because soybean meal is not easily stored, an oil-based crush driven by higher soybean oil prices that resulted in a ‘surplus’ of soybean meal would be expected to result in lower soybean meal prices than would otherwise occur,” Good continues. “The impact of higher soybean oil prices and lower soybean meal prices on the price of soybeans is difficult to anticipate. However, a ‘surplus’ of soybean meal might be expected to result in lower soybean meal prices relative to feed grain prices. The soybean meal to corn price ratio that has ranged from 2.55 to 3.2 in recent years, for example, might decline back to the historical range of 2.0 to 2.5.”

‘Steals and Deals’ has new meaning for cyber-shoppers By Dennis Horton Better Business Bureau

A

lways looking for and coming up with new ways to rip-off the unsuspecting, for scammers and cyber-thieves, it really is Christmas! This year for shoppers – especially for those doing a lot of online buying and downloading apps to their mobile devises – new dangers are lurking. In recent weeks, hundreds of fake retail and product apps have popped up in Apple’s “App Store” and Google’s “Play Store”. Apps have become a popular way to shop, particularly for people looking for deals. But there are serious risks, especially when using a fake app. Entering credit card information opens a consumer to potential financial fraud. Some fake apps contain malware that can steal personal information or even lock the phone until the user pays a ransom. Starbucks started the first “retail app”, and many stores have followed but, security

experts say, the biggest source of the fake apps is China. Cyber-thieves have also found ways to make their counterfeit apps convenient; they encourage users to log in using their Facebook credentials. That could dangerously expose their sensitive personal information to identity theft. Because there are so many apps available shoppers can easily be confused but there are many red flags to look for. We at the BBB advise app users to take a closer look at the fine print before putting it on their phones and to take these precautions: • Check when it was developed, what version it’s on, who was the publisher and look for customer reviews. If you pull up a major retailer’s app and it has no reviews, then you’re probably on the wrong one. • Check the link connected to the app to see if you’re being directed to the retailer’s legitimate website. • Never click on a link in any email

COMPUTER PROBLEMS?

to download a new app. Only go to the website of the retailer to get a link to the legitimate app. • Check ask.bbb.org for additional scam information and also safe online shopping tips. It’s also best to use a credit card as your form of payment; because card companies typically have restitution plans that can save you if you fall victim. Using your debit card, on the other hand, can have you losing everything you have in the bank.

Shoppers who encounter a fake app should immediately notify Apple or Google. The information can also be reported to BBB Scam Tracker in an effort to help track down where the scam is coming from. To find trustworthy businesses AT NO COST and for more important consumer information visit ask.bbb.org, also like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and add us on Pinterest.

Managing your soil for future yields

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Now that soil’s physical, biological, and chemical properties have been discussed, you might be thinking how these all interact. Soil health is this interaction which defined as the ability of the soil to function so that it can assist plants, animals, and humans. A healthy soil will have qualities such as good tilth, good depth for plant roots, sufficient nutrient supply that isn’t excessive, good soil drainage, large population of beneficial organisms, low weed pressure, and resistance to degradation. The interaction of these three properties is important because as one changes, it influences the other. For instance, if you have acidic soil, it may limit the microbial communities. While it is easy to determine your soil chemical properties through a soil test, it can be hard to determine if you have a healthy soil or not. Many guidelines to determine your soil health are based on examining the soil. A dark, black-brown color denotes a lot of activity. If the soil is crumbly, that also is a good sign. A healthy soil will also have earthworms and other noticeable insects.

If your soil is unhealthy, it could have a number of problems. These include compaction, weeds, poor aggregation, and soilborne plant pathogens. Many of these problems could be temporary. Through crop rotation, you could potentially address a plant disease that is in the soil. If you are dealing with soil compaction, you might consider growing a cover crop that would help break up the soil. Most of these soil health problems can be addressed with seasonal maintenance. By adding organic matter such as composted manures, composts, cover crops, and others, this can begin to assist the soil to become more productive. Try to mix different organic matters into your season. This could include adding compost in the spring and growing a cover crops in the fall. Both of these would be different organic matters that could begin to repair your soil. Crop rotation is an easy step you can do. By rotating even one row over between seasons among plant families, you can begin to gain some of these soil health benefits. Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

Ma Schier & Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

The Dearly Departed Sisters fell in love with Japanese cuisine when Sister number three, Akiko Tanaka, joined the family. Akiko was my sister Gert’s freshman-year roommate at Quincy College. When Ma went down to pick up Gert for Thanksgiving, Kiko said that she was staying on campus to study. Ma then pulled out her suitcase and said “You pack it, or I will; you’re coming home with us.” She has been a member of our family since, and she introduced us to Japanese cuisine which we all love. That was 1964, Mr. Trump. Since then, Kiko became a U.S. citizen. She was head of cargo for JAL at O’Hare, and she is an excellent classical flautist and pianist. Long live good immigration to the United States. Kiko is a treasure. Ma Schier and Aunt Millie’s Recipe of the Week

NFL

Time for Bears to take organizational stock

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

M

ost NFL teams are ideally relevant for the postseason come December. It’s the month where home field advantage is determined, playoff berths are clinched, and organizations take stock of their roster before the January battles begin. Everything you do is centered around staying afloat, and for some, becoming a juggernaut. For the Chicago Bears following their 27-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans, this final stretch run has become more like a second preseason of evaluations. Normally each August offers four games in the first opportunity for the front office to ascertain the quality of their coaching staff, players, and progress building towards that contending crescendo. Leading into the season, those first evaluations are more of a tune-up in preparing for the season’s grind. Yet, as the year begins to close, less than fortunate teams like the Bears, are left attempting to circle the wagons on what went wrong. Picking up the pieces as injuries, suspensions, and by all effective measure – elimination from postseason contention sets in. The 2016 Bears had high hopes back in August and are now going through the same evaluation process with an almost masochistic five games left to play. What went wrong? Who or what is at fault? These are questions Chicago will have to ask. Somehow, head coach John Fox still believes they are. “We’re, believe it or not, getting closer. We’re just not there yet.” One has to admire Fox’s public confident stance, but posturing only gets you so far. Considering everything that’s been thrown onto Fox’s lap this season, it’d be difficult to blame him if he’s wavered. You’d have the Christmas list with every imaginable toy listed in a comparison of taking stock of everything that’s gone wrong for the Bears. Let’s go on down the line. Start with Chicago now leading the NFL with 15 players on injured reserve following linebacker Danny Trevathan suffering a ruptured patella tendon late against Tennessee. Your first two quarterbacks are in all likelihood, done for the season. That’s especially true on Jay Cutler’s part, no matter how much Fox will say Cutler is “day-to-day” and offer conflicting messages to throw everyone for a loop. That leads to career journeyman, Matt Barkley, being the

man in tow. Even if he played well late in garbage time against a horrid Titans defense, it’s not like Barkley inspires confidence beyond wondering whether he’s a quality backup. Then, players like safety Adrian Amos have regressed after being seen as a building block last season. The Amos seen against the Titans who struggled in coverage was nothing new. Or, a definite foundational piece like defensive tackle, Eddie Goldman, having been plagued by injuries for the second straight year – nullifying any growth. And to top it all off, in an increasingly weak NFC North that’s up for grabs, the Bears have been the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde team of consistency even when they’ve had relative health. On this purgatory-like year, Bears veteran outside linebacker Willie Young noted, “I really think it’s going to help and build us as a team in the future.” You’re just not sure how much Young and others will continue to believe the more hits this team takes. Somehow, the Bears have led in nine of 11 games played in 2016, and have even held a lead at the half in five of them. With that in mind, it’s difficult to tell whether they’re competing or playing out the string to hibernate for a long winter. This is the primary question general manager Ryan Pace currently has sitting on his table. How did all of this become a missed opportunity in this storm? To understand his thought process, remember that the NFL is a results-driven business defined by wins and losses to personnel evaluators like Pace. There are no moral victories such as finishing strong to build momentum for the next season. Pace will have to take stock of what all of these injuries and vague games in press conferences by Fox mean. Right now, everyone from the head coach to the fringe roster players are fighting for their place. They’re building a statement that they belong and can contribute something towards the Bears’ ultimate goal of a championship. And yet, beyond individual evaluations of depth guys, there’s nothing to be benefited from winning. The regulars that you would want to see on the field such as the budding star rookie, Leonard Floyd, are still in the concussion protocol. Chicago won’t tank for draft positioning given that there’s still necessary competitive spirit, but it’s difficult to see

them winning a game with what they have available anyway. And that has to be music for Pace’s ears to potentially acquire a bluechip talent as much as fans and pundits will rip their hair out in frustration over this lackadaisical effort. It should be seen as a possible blessing-in-disguise. Players like generational defensive talent Myles Garrett could be waiting if all goes well, or rather down the drain. Next week’s “Loser Bowl” with the 1-10 San Francisco 49ers awaits. But that’s a conversation for another day. Consider that Fox’s Bears will have to win out in these last five games just to reach a 13-19 record in his first two seasons – the same record as the previously much maligned, Marc Trestman. Chicago’s 2-9 start is their worst in the 21st century. The Bears also are just 3-10 at home to this point in Fox’s tenure, with three more opportunities to add more blemishes this season. Finally, 11,086 tickets were unused by fans this past Sunday at Soldier Field on an objectively quality day of football weather for late November. As it grows colder in December, that generous figure will no doubt grow and hang over the head decision makers at Halas Hall. Results and money talk together. A reportedly contentious relationship between Fox and Pace on things such as the development of a future young quarterback won’t help Fox’s status here either. Everyone – from the fans to Pace – is reaching a boiling point of frustration with his version of the team. The mythical “year-two” jump to the postseason Fox has enjoyed in previous coaching stops hasn’t happened – an indictment on the original plan. For precedent, Oakland Raiders general manager, Reggie McKenzie, fired his coach midway through their current tenure to get the man he wanted in Jack Del Rio. He learned from his mistakes. In conjunction with other quality moves in the draft and free agency, Oakland now sits near the top of the league – with one of the brightest futures. The NFL’s youngest head man in Pace will have to determine whether it’s high time for him to enact a similar slight reboot, and put this franchise back on track towards bringing a Lombardi Trophy back to Halas Hall.

Week 13 vs. 49ers

product on the field won’t be great between two of the very worst teams in the league. It’s the “Loser Bowl” for a reason. When the Bears are on defense: The 49ers have the league’s 29th ranked offense, but much of that statistical output was when Blaine Gabbert was at quarterback. Colin Kaepernick has been under center of late. He’s had the 49ers compete well with two current playoff teams in the Miami Dolphins and New England in the past two weeks. Chicago’s entire focus will center around confusing Kaepernick, a mobile quarterback who makes team pay with his legs. He’s averaged 250-plus yards from scrimmage, making him a dual threat that the depleted Bears defense might not be able to deal with. Chicago will likely be without three of their top linebackers considering Trevathan’s injury, Jerrell Freeman’s suspension, and Floyd’s ongoing recovery from his concussion. The Bears didn’t get a sack of Titans quarterback, Marcus Mariota last week and without Trevethan and Freeman, they are now very vulnerable in the middle of the field too. Though, cornerback Kyle Fuller may return this week to offer a boost in the secondary. Rookie linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski and company will have to show out against an increasingly efficient Kaepernick. When the Bears are on offense: Barkley’s almost-legendary 20-point rally against the Titans likely would’ve happened if Chicago didn’t set a modern era franchise record for drops, with 10. Receivers Marquess Wilson, Joshua Bellamy, Deonte Thompson, and Eddie Royal will have to come through for Barkley if Chicago is to win it’s objectively last “winnable” game on the schedule. But the mission should have tailback, Jordan Howard, running wild against the league’s last ranked rushing defense. Even while being the NFL’s ninth leading rusher to go with a top-five yards per carry mark, Howard has received just 50 total attempts in the past three weeks. That’s not good enough. Anything less than riding Howard’s back against an abhorrent San Francisco front will be negligible coaching by the Bears staff. Three wins combined between these two teams: settle in for the fun! Early pick: 49ers 22 Bears 19. Robert Zeglinski is a staff writer for SB Nation and managing editor at No Coast Bias. Follow Robert on Twitter:@RobertZeglinski.

Air Crash

Tragedy strikes Brazilian soccer club

71 dead as world soccer community mourns loss By Julia Symmes Cobb & Paulo Whitaker Reuters

LA UNION, COLOMBIA/ CHAPECO, BRAZIL – A plane taking Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense to a South American cup final crashed in Colombia after reporting an electrical fault, killing 71 people, including most of the team and accompanying journalists. The plane slammed into a mountainside near Medellin on Monday night as the team flew to face Atletico Nacional for the Copa Sudamer-

icana, which is South America’s equivalent of the Europa League. It was Colombia’s worst air disaster in two decades and there were only six survivors. Global soccer was stunned with tributes pouring in from major figures from Pele to Lionel Messi. The BAe 146 charter plane, en route from Bolivia where the team had a stopover, went down about 10:15 p.m. on Monday night with 68 passengers and a crew of nine on board. The aircraft had reported electrical problems and declared an emergency minutes earlier as it neared its destination, Medellin airport officials said. At the crash scene near the town of La Union in wooded highlands

outside Medellin, dozens of bodies were laid out and covered with sheets around the wreckage. The tail end of the plane virtually disintegrated in the crash. Rain hampered dozens of rescuers as they combed the muddy and forested area. In addition to players, coaches and staff, 21 journalists had been on board the plane to cover the match, Brazilian news organizations said. “We felt a loud, strong thud,” said German Lopez, 44, who grows flowers on the mountain range and could see the white wreckage from his kitchen. “We ran to search for survivors. I saw someone die on a stretcher but helped save someone who was unconscious. I started to cry. I didn’t want my home known for this.” Colombia’s civil aviation authority identified the six survivors as players Alan Ruschel, Jackson Follmann and Hélio Neto; journalist Rafael Valmorbida; Bolivian flight attendant Ximena Suarez; and Bolivian flight technician Erwin Tumiri. Neto and Valmorbida were in “very delicate but stable” condition in intensive care, Dr. Guillermo Molina, head of a clinic treating them, told Reuters. Neto suffered trauma to his head, thorax and lungs, as well as open wounds to his knees. Ruschel also was in intensive care but in stable condition, Dr. Ana Maria Gonzalez, director of another clinic also attending them, told Reuters. The two members of the flight staff were out of danger and under observation, she said. Follmann had his right leg amputated, RCN radio reported, citing Chapecoense spokesman Gelson Dalla Costa. Two black boxes were recovered from the crash site, Colombia’s government said.

Landmark game

It was the first time Chapecoense, a small club from the southern town of Chapeco which has had a fairy-tale rise since 2009 from Brazil’s fourth to top division, had reached the final of a major South American club competition. Matches were canceled around

South America, and Brazil declared three days of mourning. Atletico Nacional asked for Chapecoense to be awarded the trophy in honor of those who died. Brazil’s fellow top division teams offered to loan players to Chapecoense for next season and also asked the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to give the club a three-year exemption from relegation. “They were the hope of our city,” said Jean Panegalli, 17, a student in Chapeco, where fans were disconsolate. “They played for love of the shirt and not for money. They played with the commitment that only those who have lived here know.” The BAe 146 was produced by a company that is now part of the UK’s BAE Systems. The team took a regular flight to Santa Cruz in Bolivia and then went from there to Medellin on the plane run by a Bolivian-based company called LAMIA with roots in Venezuela. By early afternoon, rescuers had recovered 69 bodies, which were to be flown out by helicopter for identification and then repatriation. “The weather is hampering efforts,” said local fire official Misael Cadavid. “It’s a very rough topographical area and penetration is not easy.” The mayor of Chapecó, Brazilian aviation disaster experts, police and health officials, and soccer federation leaders were on their way to Medellin on a Brazilian Air Force plane, said a spokesman for Brazil’s president. Representatives of Globo TV and Fox Sports TV, the media with the most journalists on board, were also on the Air Force plane to help identify their journalists, he added. Two military planes will follow at a later date to fly the bodies home. The crash evoked memories of a series of soccer air disasters in the 20th century, including the Munich crash in 1958 that killed 23 people, among them eight Manchester United players, journalists and traveling officials.

Town comes to a stop

Chapecoense, who qualified

for the final after overcoming Argentine club San Lorenzo, were underdogs for the match against the Colombian club going for a rare double after winning the Copa Libertadores in July. Brazil’s 21st biggest club by revenue, it has built success on a frugal spending policy that eschewed big-money signings and concentrated on blending young talent and experienced journeymen. Several hundred dejected fans gathered around the team’s Conda stadium in Chapeco, many of them wearing Chapecoense’s green strip. “It is still hard to believe what has happened to the Chapecoense team just when it was on the rise,” said Agenor Danieli, 64, a pensioner in the agricultural town of about 200,000 people in Santa Catarina state. “We are in crisis. The town has come to a stop. Companies are giving people the day off so they can come here to the stadium. We need to pray. It still doesn’t feel real.” Chapecoense’s best-known player was Cleber Santana, a midfielder whose best years were spent in Spain with Atletico Madrid and Mallorca. Coach Caio Junior also was experienced, having managed at some of Brazil’s biggest clubs, Botafogo, Flamengo and Palmeiras among them. The crash prompted an outpouring of solidarity and grief on social media from the soccer community, with Brazilian top flight teams Flamengo and Santos tweeting messages of support. The South American football federation suspended all games and other activities following the crash. It was Colombia’s worst air accident since more than 160 people died on an American Airlines plane in 1995 in a mountainous area near Cali. Bolivian civil aviation authority DGAC said the plane departed Santa Cruz under perfect conditions. “The crew had their licenses in order, everything was in order for the flight,” DGAC head Cesar Varela told journalists. The nine crew members, including the pilots, were Bolivian.

NHL

Schmaltz’s passive play hurting himself, team By Adam Hess Contributor

W

ith the Blackhawks coming home off of their latest and final Circus Trip, they do so with a bit more clarity in terms of which players are the best fit to play with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on their top line. Two of the team’s young players and top prospects, Ryan Hartman and Nick Schmaltz, finally proved which of them was best suited for the role. Hartman did so in a positive way. The 22-year-old forward stepped up in a huge way on the Trip, notching three goals in the six games in which he played (he was scratched for the Trip’s first game in Winnipeg). He was able to find the net more as a result of playing an aggressive, opportunistic style of play. In six appearances on the Circus Trip, Hartman was able to put 14 shots on goal in total, including 10 in the Trip’s final three games. This aggressiveness and consistency in getting the puck on the net is extremely encouraging from a young player like Hartman, and the fact that he was able to see tangible results in the form of goals should inspire confidence in him. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue. Schmaltz on the other hand ultimately proved that he is not ready for the top-line role at this time, disappointing many who believed he might be the right man for the

saves in both periods to help Rockford keep the ‘Hogs ahead. It took 55 minutes, but the Ads finally solved Carruth with a power play goal at 15:13. Just like that, two minutes later, Milwaukee knotted the score when Vladislav Kamenev scored his fifth of the season. For the third time in three games, Rockford attempted to sit on a lead and was outshot heavily and outscored in the final frame, with Milwaukee holding a 13-3 shots edge. After a tentative overtime session, where each team only managed one shot, a shootout declared Milwaukee the winner. Kevin Fiala scored the only shootout goal, a conversion in the first round, and Marek Mazanec stopped all three Rockford shooters to give Milwaukee the second point. The IceHogs would finish their last game of the week with a road game against the Chicago Wolves. A scoreless first period, and Rockford failing on three power play opportunities (including one minute of 5-on-3 time), sent the game to

job. As a young player with an impressive offensive skill set that afforded him a lot of success in the NCAA, fans had been dreaming about the possibility of adding his skill

and speed to a Hawks lineup already ripe with both. However, Schmaltz has always been a bit more of a passer and playmaker than a goal

a scoreless tie after 20 minutes. Andrew Aggozzino tallied the games’ first goal at 7:35 of the second to give Chicago the first lead. Minutes later, Mashinter would tangle with Reid McNeill, but neither team would gain momentum from the fighting majors, and Chicago would carry a 1-0 lead into the third. Bryce Gervais would double the Wolves lead with his fourth of the season at 9:15 to put Chicago in command. Scoring his third goal in two games, Barnes would put Rockford to within a goal with 4:48 remaining in the game. Rockford’s defense would collapse just over two minutes later when Wade Megan scored his team-leading eighth of the season at 17:53 to give the Wolves their second two-goal lead of the game. In a valiant attempt at a comeback, Spencer Abbott scored with one second remaining in the game to close the gap to 3-2, but Rockford would not have enough time to complete the comeback. Rockford’s special teams faltered offensively once again, going 0-for-5 in the game, putting them at a dismal 1-for-14 on the week.

Looking forward

Rockford will play another three games in four days with all three home. Wednesday’s game will be against the Manitoba Moose, followed by a Friday game against the Chicago Wolves and a Saturday matchup against the

scorer, and it was no secret that the goal scoring was going to be a major growing pain for the 20-year-old. But Schmaltz has not been doing much to help himself grow in that area, and especially did not do so on the Circus Trip. In seven appearances on the Trip, Schmaltz registered just five total shots, and those five came in just two games. That means that Schmaltz did not even get one puck on net in five of the seven games on the road trip. Obviously that is not ideal. Now, that is not to say that Schmaltz was thus made totally useless to the Blackhawks by not being more aggressive on offense. In fact, Schmaltz’ defensive play has been a surprising revelation this season, and in some ways has been able to make up for his lack of offensive production. However, defense is not what the Hawks drafted Schmaltz for, and is not what they expect from him as a top prospect loaded with skill. In order for Schmaltz to reach his true potential, and become the player that the Hawks and their fans are hoping he will become, he is going to need to step up his aggressiveness and start shooting the puck much more often. At this time, though, Schmaltz’ lack of aggressiveness is not only hurting his own development, but is also going to continue to hurt the Blackhawks’ offense. Follow Adam on Twitter: @_adamhess.

IceHogs winless in 3 Week 7 matchups

By Todd Reicher Contributor

Last week, it appeared Rockford was on back on track earning wins in both games. However, the wheels fell off again in Week 7. Rockford started out strong against the Cleveland Monsters, scoring the only first period goal and amassing 14 shots on goal. At one point, Rockford had a 13-1 shots on goal advantage, along with a 1-0 lead. The second half of the period saw Cleveland gain control and outshoot Rockford 8-1, but Lars Johansson stopped all first period shots. Rockford’s goal was courtesy of Chris DeSousa, who fired a shot from the right boards and caught Joonas Korpisalo but surprise. The IceHogs also held court in shots on goal for the second period, but Cleveland scored three goals on eight shots to knot the

score at 3-3. Just 1:27 into the second, T.J. Tynan tallied his third of the season with a power play marker to tie the game at 1-1. DeSousa notched his first multi-goal game of the season with a hard-working effort in front of the net to give Rockford their second lead of the game. Recently recalled Tyler Barnes, who had a five-point game for the Indy Fuel of the ECHL recently, was credited with the primary assist. Joe Pendenza would score two consecutive goals is just over three minutes to give the Monsters their first lead of the game at 3-2. The IceHogs knotted the score at three when Cameron Schilling tallied his fourth of the season, assisted by Martin Lundberg, with 42 seconds remaining in the second. Rockford carried the momentum into the

third period, and Viktor Svedberg was rewarded with his first goal of the season, along with Brandon Mashinter’s first assist of the season. A recurring theme haunted Rockford as they were not able to hang of for a third period lead and gave up two goals to Cleveland, both coming on the power play. Sonny Milano scored his third of the season at 5:07, and then Daniel Zarr also notched his third of the season with 4:29 left to play. Unable to score the equalizer, Rockford was sent away with the sting of a 5-4 loss. Special teams hurt the IceHogs as Rockford was unable to score on six power play chances, and gave up three power play goals on four attempts to Cleveland. Two of Rockford’s power play chances included 5-on-3 chances, including one full two-minute opportunity. Rockford remained home for Friday’s

matchup against the Milwaukee Admirals, who were riding a nine-game point streak. Despite being dominated in the first period to the tune of 10-3 shot advantage, it was Rockford who carried a first period lead into the locker room. Tyler Barnes scored on Rockford’s first shot of the game, which was a deflection of a Schilling shot at 5:55. The goal was originally credited to Schilling, until late in the evening when the goal was given to Barnes. Barnes continued his scoring touch with a second period marker with 2:09 remaining in the period to give Rockford a big 2-0 lead. The IceHogs tripled their shot output from the first period, however, Milwaukee’s 13 put the Ads ahead in the shot column 23-12 after two periods. Mac Carruth made some key See HOGS on Page 46
