A Michigan state appeals court on Tuesday ordered a halt to the recount of that state’s presidential election vote sought by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, while a federal appeals court ordered the process to proceed. The conflicting rulings had both sides claiming victory but left unclear on Tuesday evening where Stein’s bid to recount the vote in Michigan stood. The Green Party candidate, who received only about 1 percent of the presidential vote on Nov. 8, sued in federal court in Pennsylvania on Monday to try to force a statewide recount of U.S. presidential votes there. Stein also pushed for a recount that is under way in Wisconsin, which with Michigan and Pennsylvania, was key to Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. “Today, Trump and his GOP allies in Michigan tried everything in the book to stop the recount, and they failed. This recount is continuing in spite of their efforts to suppress the vote,” said Matthew Brinckerhoff, a lawyer for the Stein campaign. Brinckerhoff was referring to a ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the recount should continue in Michigan. The 6th Circuit’s decision came within hours of an order by the state Michigan Court of Appeals that the recount be halted, on the grounds that Stein was “not an aggrieved candidate” with standing to demand one.

China called on U.S. officials on Tuesday not to let Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen pass through the United States en route to Guatemala next month, days after President-elect Donald Trump irked Beijing by speaking to Tsai in a break with decades of precedent. The U.S. State Department appeared to reject the call, saying that such transits were based on “long-standing U.S. practice, consistent with the unofficial nature of (U.S.) relations with Taiwan.” China is deeply suspicious of Tsai, whom it thinks wants to push for the formal independence of Taiwan, a selfgoverning island that Beijing regards as a renegade province. Her call with Trump on Friday was the first between a U.S. president-elect or president and a Taiwanese leader since President Jimmy Carter switched diplomatic recognition to China from Taiwan in 1979. Tsai is due to visit Guatemala, one of Taiwan’s small band of diplomatic allies, on Jan. 11-12, its foreign minister, Carlos Raul Morales, told Reuters. Taiwan’s Liberty Times, considered close to Tsai’s ruling Democratic Progressive Party, reported on Monday that she was planning to go through New York early next month on her way to Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Dakota Access Pipeline

Sioux chief asks protesters to disband

Army stops project progress, but Trump vows to review plan after taking office ByErnest Scheyder & Terray Sylvester Reuters

CANNON BALL, N.D. – A Native American leader asked thousands of protesters to return home after the federal government ruled against a controversial pipeline, despite the prospect of President-elect Donald Trump reversing the decision after he takes office. A coalition of Native American groups, environmentalists, Hollywood stars and veterans of the U.S. armed forces protested the $3.8 billion oil project. They said construction would damage sacred lands and any leaks could pollute the water supply of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. The tribe still wants to speak with Trump about the Dakota Access Pipeline to prevent him from approving the final phase of construction, Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault told Reuters. “The current administration did the right thing and we need to educate the incoming administration and help them understand the right decision was made,” he said.Trump’s transition team said on Monday it would review the decision to delay completion once he takes office Jan. 20. “That’s something that we support construction of and we’ll review the

full situation when we’re in the White House and make the appropriate determination at that time,” Trump spokesman Jason Miller said at a transition team news briefing. Archambault said nothing would happen over the winter before Trump takes power, so protesters should leave. Many had dug in for the harsh winter of the North Dakota plains, where a blizzard hit on Monday and 40 milesper-hour winds rattled tipis and tents. “We’re thankful for everyone who joined this cause and stood with us,” he said. “The people who are supporting us ... they can return home and enjoy this winter with their families. Same with law enforcement. I am asking them to go.” It was unclear if protesters would heed Archambault’s call to leave the Oceti Sakowin camp in Cannon Ball, North Dakota.

Short-lived victory

On Sunday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rejected an application for the pipeline to tunnel under Lake Oahe, a reservoir formed by a dam on the Missouri River. The Army Corps said it would analyze possible alternate routes, although any other route is likely to cross the Missouri River. The camp celebrated the decision, but some expressed concern their

victory could be short-lived. “I think this is just a rest,” Charlotte Bad Cob, 30, of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, said on Sunday. “With a new government it could turn and we could be at it again.” On Monday, tribal leaders and hundreds of veterans walked to Backwater Bridge, one of the focal points of the protests, and offered prayers and chanted after the victory. Several veterans said they had no plans to leave and suspected Sunday’s

decision was a ruse to empty the camp. The company building the 1,172mile pipeline, Energy Transfer Partners, said late on Sunday that it had no plans to reroute the line, and expected to complete the project. The Obama administration’s decision was a “political action”, ETP said in a joint statement on Sunday with its partner Sunoco Logistics Partners. The pipeline is complete except for a 1-milesegment that was to run under Lake Oahe, which required

permission from federal authorities. The chief executive of ETP, Kelcy Warren, donated to Trump’s campaign, while the president-elect has investments in ETP and Phillips 66, another partner in the project. As of Trump’s mid-2016 financial disclosure form, his stake in ETP was between $15,000 and $50,000, down from between $500,000 and $1 million in mid-2015. He had between $100,000 and $250,000 in shares of Phillips, according to federal forms.

More Bakken crude to move on trains following pipeline stall

By Liz Hampton Reuters

HOUSTON – As oil prices recover and U.S. shale production picks up, energy companies that had planned to ship crude on the Dakota Access Pipeline will turn to rail, a transport method that poses its own risks to the environment and local communities. Sunday’s decision by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to deny Energy Transfer Partners an easement to complete the line means shippers who expected to see another 570,000 barrels of daily Bakken pipeline capacity in 2017 will have to find new ways to move supply. Rail comprises nearly 65 percent of total crude export capacity in the Bakken, but is currently underutilized because it is more

costly and less efficient. In September, only 29 percent of total Bakken oil production moved by rail, according to the latest figures from the North Dakota Pipeline Authority. “Once the pipes are full, that means more trains. And without DAPL, the pipes get full sooner than they otherwise would have,” said Rick Smead, managing director of advisory services for RBN Energy, noting that this scenario is contingent on a big rise in production. A rise in incidents during the shale boom, and high-profile accidents, such as the explosion in 2013 that killed 47 people in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, has drawn increased scrutiny to the rail industry, prompting the U.S. government to enact more stringent regulations for rail movements.

Overall, oil spills more frequently with pipelines than rail cars, according to data from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA). For example, in 2015, there were 252 pipeline spills reported to PHMSA involving crude oil, versus 123 for the rail industry. The year prior, the frequency of spills at pipes was about 23 percent greater than rail, the data shows. The 1,172 mile Dakota Access Pipeline is slated to run from western North Dakota to Illinois, and has been the subject of protests for months from Native American and environmental activists concerned about leaks and contamination of water supply. Incidents involving crude-by-rail peaked in 2014, at nearly 190, versus just one accident in

2006, the data shows. The rise in accidents followed a surge in volumes moving by rail each day, which hit a high of 29.2 million barrels per month in October 2014. As of September 2016, that had declined to about 10.5 million barrels monthly, according to data from the EIA, as new pipelines displaced rail and production has declined. With lower volumes, train accidents involving crude are down significantly, with only nine reported this year, according to PHMSA data. But that could change. “There are increased chances of accidents, leaks and greenhouse gas incidents when transporting by rail,” said Afolabi Ogunnaike, a senior analyst at consultancy Wood Mackenzie.

The first snowfall to hit Illinois this fall was no polite dusting, but a record-breaking event. State Climatologist Jim Angel said Sunday’s snowfall total was the heaviest snow accumulation for a fall-winter season’s first snow at O’Hare International Airport and likely other sites as well. “It was the greatest first-of-the-season daily total for Chicago at O’Hare Airport,” Angel said. “That’s the biggest one-day jump to the winter snowfall season.” Sunday’s 6.4 inches of snowfall at O’Hare blew past the old Chicago record of 4.8 inches in November of 1940. Angel said the snow hit hardest near the Quad Cities, with some areas recording more than 9 inches. “In the Quad Cities, Davenport had 10.2 inches,” Angel said. “Several other sites also had very sizeable amounts all through that area.” One of the highest measured totals in the state was Morrison, at 9.4 inches. Closer to home, sites around Rockford saw totals of around 5 inches while outlying areas

recorded snowfalls of 4 inches-or-more. Travel south of I-70, and you saw little to no precipitation and temperatures around 40 degrees. “South of Interstate 70 usually has to wait for a week or so to see the average first winter snows,” Angel said.

According to the National Weather Service, the 6.4 inches at O’Hare was only three-tenths of an inch away from the all-time single-day snow total. The previous record for snowfall on Dec. 4 at O’Hare was 4.6 inches in 1964. –Illinois News Network & Staff reports

9 arrested in downstate public-corruption probe

A longstanding investigation by state and federal law enforcement agencies culminated in the arrest of nine people in Metro-East St. Louis on a mix of public integrity charges is one way to work toward restoring the public’s trust in elected and appointed public servants, a downstate state’s attorney said. Those arrested Monday include an East St. Louis councilwoman, a couple of East St. Louis township trustees, a member of the St. Clair County Board of Review, a couple of police officers, a postal worker and the former mayor of Alorton. The charges include misconduct, forgery, using public resources for personal gain, electioneering, obstruction of justice and illegal possession of a firearm. St. Clair County State’s Attorney Bren-

dan Kelly said it’s a cynical time “where people do not trust most of our major institutions. They don’t trust the media. They don’t trust corporations. They don’t trust the government.” Kelly said public integrity cases are important to investigate and prosecute to “make sure we don’t necessarily have saints serving in government, but people who are at least trying to do the right thing and obey the law.” The investigation shows that law enforcement from multiple levels can and should work together, Kelly said. “The old territorial battles are not helpful for anyone,” Kelly said. “Everyone has to work together, whether it’s on issues like child sex trafficking or the heroin epidemic, or issues related to the integrity of our public institutions.”

Among the nine arrested are an East St. Louis councilwoman charged with contractor misconduct and forgery, an East St. Louis Township trustee charged with using public funds for personal gain, and the former mayor of Alorton, charged with paying someone to vote a certain way. Two individuals were allegedly paid from violence-prevention grants from a program called Ceasefire. Oliver Hamilton pleaded guilty last week. East St. Louis Councilwoman June Hamilton Dean faces forgery and other charges. “Both Oliver Hamilton and June Hamilton Dean were paid in part from grants obtained by the township for a violence-reduction program called ‘Ceasefire,’” a press release said. –Illinois News Network

U of I’s $660M plan could be a tough sell in Springfield

The man who is leading the charge to give the University of Illinois $660 million each year, possibly forever, is selling lawmakers on the plan as a way to save some of the state’s reputation. The university is also asking for a special bank account to pay professors to stay and is willing to guarantee only a third of the slots at the main campus to Illinois students. State Rep. Mike Zalewski, D-Chicago, acknowledges it could be tough to get lawmakers on board with an expensive, special deal for the

university while the rest of state government teeters on the edge. “Sometimes among the ashes is when you do the best building,” Zalewski said. “I think the U of I is taking the right approach, ‘Let’s rebuild our relationship with the state,’ I think a lot of people need to do that.” Zalewski said he’s selling the idea to lawmakers not as a $660 million expense, but as an investment in the national reputation of the state’s biggest school. “The U of I is beacon right now among a

state that has some very strong perception problems,” Zalewski added. “We have to make the U of I a place where professors want to teach, where students want to come to school.” But many lawmakers have said in the past the university’s reputation in Illinois is that it’s too expensive and not welcoming to Illinois students. Lawmakers will take up the plan in the spring. –Illinois News Network

Energy & Environment

Reflections on the recent Illinois energy bill By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

everal points of contention have been settled for now with this month’s passage of Illinois’ energy bill. Mandatory demand charges have been eliminated; net metering for those producing their own electricity and sending it back to the utility will be reinstated; and the state’s Renewable Energy Portfolio will be revised. More of the state’s energy will come from renewable sources; community, rooftop and other distributed sources will add to utility-scale wind and solar. Additionally, Exelon will receive generous subsidies to maintain its aging, uncompetitive Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear plants. ComEd’s engaging in large scale nuclear buildup during the 1980s led to a dramatic increase in the cost of electricity in Illinois. Signs appeared at the Wisconsin border inviting Illinois companies to move to Wisconsin and benefit from low cost electricity. Political leaders in Chicago expressed interest in generating their own power or buying it from Wisconsin. At that time, control of electrical rates was exclusively managed by the Illinois Commerce Commission. Critics of high rates were appointed to the Commission with the backing of industrial interests concerned about the adverse impacts of higher costs on their competitive position. Firms which had installed their own independent co-generation facilities reached an agreement with ComEd to continue buying electricity from the utility and put their co-generation facilities on standby to be used during times of peak demand. The cost of electricity was shifted to commercial interests assuming they would find it easier to pass on the costs to their

patrons. With costs under control critical members of the Commerce Commission were no longer needed and were asked to resign, which they did. The latest struggle involving the high cost of keeping the Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear power plants operating appears to be settled for now but the consequences of the agreement will become clearer with time. Some supporters of renewable energy, energy efficiency and limiting consumer price increases expressed approval of the decision to bail out the nuclear power plants. Others raised concerns about Illinois consumers being asked to subsidize aging nuclear power plants to improve the economics of a very profitable corporation. With rising costs of maintaining an aging nuclear fleet the concern has also been raised regarding the precedent set by the most recent subsidies. One issue not raised is whether the need for large centralized generation facilities and an expanding national grid could become a burden on ratepayers if evolving decentralized services based on renewable energy, efficiency, energy storage and microgrids continue to drop in price and improve technologically. The current compromise might represent the best solution possible considering the diverse interests involved in arriving at it and the limited amount of time to sort out conflicting interests. As the new legislation is implemented, its impacts will become apparent to all involved. If our neighboring states once again gain a competitive advantage from lower cost electricity, pressure will rise from within Illinois to correct the imbalance. For now, renewable energy advocates such as The Alliance for Solar Choice have expressed their approval of the outcome. Visit illinoisrenew.org.

After Standing Rock, fossil fuel battles loom across North America By Natasha Geiling ThinkProgress.org

hen news broke Sunday that the Army Corps of Engineers would not grant a permit necessary for the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline to cross the Missouri River, the thousands of water protectors, environmental activists, and concerned citizens who spent months protesting the pipeline’s construction erupted in celebration. “They formed a circle —a human circle all the way around the camp —a nd people were holding hands and singing and praying,” Kandi Mossett, a leader with the Indigenous Environmental Network, said via a Facebook Live video following Sunday’s announcement. “There are songs being sung and drums and people singing and happy and hugging each other.” But through her tears of happiness, Mossett urged viewers to continue their support for both the water protectors in North Dakota and protesters fighting pipelines around the world. “I’m sending a shout out to all the other pipelines that people are fighting,” Mossett said, “that we need to continue to fight and we need to continue to remain vigilant.” The Dakota Access pipeline, which would carry up to 570,000 barrels of oil from the Bakken oilfields of North Dakota nearly 1,200 miles to a hub in Illinois, is far from the only pipeline under construction in North America. Just last week, Canada’s Liberal government approved two major pipeline projects that, if constructed, would greatly expand the amount of tar sands oil being funneled from Alberta to refineries worldwide. One of those projects —t he Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain expansion —w ould increase the pipeline’s carrying capacity by 590,000 barrels a day —a nd would also run through unceded land that both the Canadian government and several First Nation tribes claim sovereignty over. “The First Nations are at the forefront of the protest [against the Trans Mountain expansion],” Stand.Earth Canadian director Karen Mahon told ThinkProgress. Mahon decribed the Trans Morgan expansion as “Keystone XL meets Standing Rock” —a project that promises to inspire both litigation and massive acts of civil disobedience. Prominent progressive politicians, including Gregor Robertson, mayor of Vancouver, and Elizabeth May, federal leader of Canada’s Green Party, have promised to continue to fight the pipeline, with May going so far as promising to go to jail, if necessary, for blocking the pipeline’s construction. On the East Coast of the United States, the victory at Standing Rock resonated for opponents of the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which would carry natural gas 600 miles from West Virginia to North Carolina. “Their fight is the same fight as our fight,” said

Nancy Sorrells, co-chair of Augusta County Alliance, told the Staunton Virginia News Leader. “What’s happening there is happening here.” Dominion, the energy company behind the project, has applied for permits to run the pipeline through land designated for conservation —a nd the proposed route would take it through historic battlefields and near a Native American burial ground, which Sorrells argued was “sacred ground.” Jane Kleeb, president of Bold Alliance and director of Bold Nebraska, told ThinkProgress that the decision to deny the easement at Standing Rock reinforces the power of having a diverse coalition rallying behind a cause. “Standing Rock is yet another very concrete example of how when you fight a pipeline with an unlikely alliance you win,” Kleeb said. “We saw that on Keystone XL, on the Constitution pipeline in New York and Pennsylvania, and now we saw that with the Dakota Access Pipeline.” And while environmental activism is often painted as a liberal issue, Kleeb said there are plenty of fights taking place in more conservative states like South Carolina and Georgia over pipelines and the question of eminent domain. There’s an economic populist argument against pipelines, Kleeb contends —r ural Americans tend to balk at the idea of large corporations or

big government coming onto their land and dictating how that land will be used. That presents an opportunity for traditionally disparate groups —i ndigenous communities, conservative farmers, progressive environmental activists —t o band together and fight pipelines as a united front. “Pipelines serve as this concrete thing that incorporates place-based organizing. You’re able to communicate to your neighbors why you care about climate change, or eminent domain, or water quality, or Native American sovereignty rights,” Kleeb said. “From my perspective, pipelines offer that like no other environmental issue does.” But pipelines aren’t the only fossil fuel infrastructure projects that are bound to run into citizen opposition in the coming months and years. Along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and the Columbia River are three proposed projects that, if constructed, would constitute the country’s largest coal export terminal, largest crude-oil-by-rail terminal, and largest methanol refinery. These projects haven’t been met with the same kind of sustained civil disobedience that helped water protectors succeed at Standing Rock. But the crude-oil-by-rail terminal, which would be built in Vancouver, Washington, just

miles from Portland, Oregon, has attracted the attention of some environmental activists: In June, following the derailment of an oil train in Mosier, Oregon, 21 activists were arrested while protesting the practice of shipping crude oil by rail, with another 100 or so participating in the protest. As in North Dakota, the protesters used their bodies to form a physical barrier to the fossil fuel infrastructure —i n this case, blocking railroad tracks to prevent train traffic. Many of the proposed projects in the Pacific Northwest — and elsewhere — require federal permits to move forward. President-Elect Donald Trump has voiced support for projects like the Dakota Access pipeline — and signaled his willingness to reconsider the KeystoneXL pipeline — which means communities standing in opposition to these projects likely won’t have a friendly ear in the White House. But, according to Kleeb, communities on the front lines of fossil fuel projects aren’t planning on giving up the fight any time soon. “For folks fighting pipelines it’s never about who is in the White House,” she said. “When you are down, when somebody has punched you in the gut, that is when you catch your breath and fight harder. And that is exactly what we’ll do with these pipeline fights.”

DECEMBER THE MONTH OF GIVING At this time of year, people are thinking of charitable giving.

VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY 5 reasons to Buy Local this holiday season

We are getting even closer to Christmas, and there are many holidays to be celebrated around this time of year! With the support from the community growing for local businesses, you have more options than ever before to choose to buy local this holiday (and year-round.) You may have heard about “Buying Local.” Maybe you have contemplated to yourself, “Why is it so important? Does it really make a difference?” The good news is that it is simple to start, and one person can make a difference. The impact is not simple, but rather transformational. It is huge. 1. More money stays here. Basic Economics: When $100 is spent in a locally owned business, 68 percent of it returns back to our local economy to benefit schools, roads, parks, police, fire, and more public services contributing to a better overall community. When that same $100 is spent at a non-local store... only 43 percent returns, the rest leaving our region. 2. Buying local creates local jobs. Local businesses account for more jobs in the U.S. overall. In fact, local businesses claim 65 percent of all net new jobs over the past 17 years and local businesses employ 77 million Americans. It’s no secret, more jobs equals more opportunity for residents of Winnebago County to love where they live, love what they do, and want to stay here to make it a better place for years to come. Not only do independent businesses employ more people directly per dollar of revenue, they also are the customers of local printers, accountants, wholesalers, farms, attorneys, etc., expanding opportunities for local entrepreneurs. 3. Improves real estate & wealth of residents. We all would like to see the value of our homes rise. Residential neighborhoods served by a successful independent business district gained, on average, 50 percent more in home values than their citywide markets. Eighty-nine percent of consumers agree that independent businesses contribute positively to local communities. The multiplier effect created by spending locally generates lasting impact on the prosperity of local organizations and residents. 4. It’s actually healthy. Independent, local community-serving businesses are people-sized. They typically consume less land, carry more locally-made products, locate closer to residents and create less traffic and air pollution, as well as have a smaller carbon

footprint. Studies show that locally produced, minimally processed foods are better for your health too. Local produce has a shorter time from farm to table, retaining more nutrients for the health of you and your family. 5. It preserves character and culture. Have you ever stopped to think about all of the amazing character we have in our community? Think about three positively unique local businesses that you never want to disappear, and how different your lives would be without them. To retain our character, our personality, our culture, and to avoid becoming cookie-cutter towns, supporting the local businesses that make us unique from anywhere else on earth is 100 percent necessary. Having a unique county will make us tourism friendly, and local-friendly too. This starts from the inside. Local businesses can help create a positive environment for the people who live here. The people who live here and the leaders in our communities can help to maintain an enriching environment for entrepreneurs, small businesses and the arts, and visitors will flock. We hope you will make the choice to Buy Local a little bit more during the largest grossing U.S. spending season. It doesn’t have to be radical, just take it one step further this year and think to yourself before heading out to shop... “Can I get this from a local business/ restaurant/service?” It only takes one person to make the difference. Challenge: While you’re shopping and eating local this holiday season, please remember to tag us in all of the fun! Just add #ShopSmallWBL or #BuyWBL to your photos on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! Join us this Saturday for a Local Holiday Market at the Rockford University Burpee Center on the 2nd floor of the Regents Center, follow the candy cane path. Event runs from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Free parking and free admission. –Winnebago Buy Local

Commentary

County Board’s new dawn

By John Guevara Contributor

onday marked the beginning of a new era in Winnebago County government. It was the first day in the last six years that I haven’t been a part of it. There’s a blend of sadness, nostalgia and a burgeoning sense of freedom in this new day. Don’t get me wrong, this election cycle was laden with errors: ballots cast for elections in the wrong precinct, ballots being forced into machines, machines casting votes for the wrong candidate, etc. It’s a faulty system that requires overhaul and I did request a discovery recount to investigate the system myself. It’s a system that needs to be asked what new Chairman

Frank Haney asked of us in his remarks after he was sworn in: “Who are we on our best day?” It is a good question. It informed my decisions as a board member, and continues to influence my decisions as an employee, a friend, a partner, and as a man. It is an important bar to set and I’m glad the speech sets the standard high. If we’re going to know who we are on our best day, we should ask who we are today. So, who was the new County Board on its first day? So far, nothing much changed, except that Steve Schultz is now an insider so he voted yes to everything. The Republican caucus dictated the committee chairmanships and the members of those commit-

tees, again with minimal notice and without much discussion. A new change was that Democrats were shut out of the process until the eleventh hour, despite promises by new Caucus Leader David Boomer to the contrary over the past few months. Over promising in a campaign isn’t anything new. Votes were taken without possessing the minutes of the committee meetings at which the items were passed and without a caucus to inform the members what they were voting on. Important changes to the County Board rules were not highlighted until a concerned citizen read them and informed board members of the changes. In the end, the

first day of the new board was pretty much like the last day of the old one. I remain as hopeful as Chairman Haney that by this time next year, the county will be better – that county government will achieve a best day which will look far and away better than yesterday. I hope the board refuses to pass anything unless they have read the minutes first. I hope the board passes reforms to improve transparency and accountability. I hope the board puts an end to the ridiculous notion being advocated by Randy Olson and Dave Fiduccia to “take county public safety sales tax dollars away from the Sheriff and give them to the city of Rockford”. I hope Mr. Boomer and

Chairman Haney live up to their word when they told me the county would never use tax dollars that way. I hope Mr. Boomer puts in the hard work necessary to mend fences with Sheriff Caruana and truly study the benefits of improving public safety as well as the nuts and bolts of public safety budgeting. My greatest hope is that this board will be an even better steward of public monies than the last board and refuse to raise property taxes. That’s how the county’s best days should look. Let’s see if they can live up to it. • • • Republican John Guevara served six years on the Winnebago County Board representing District 19.

Letters to the Editor Thank you, Cubs fans

Dear Readers, Hi! Lots of people know me. Do you? If you do, great for me! If you don’t, that’s probably great for you. You see, I’m the restaurant guy famous for “A burger as big as my head”. I’m also the guy who’s getting famous for making the “Go, Cubs, Go!” TV commercials that a couple of radio stations happen to call the worst and most annoying ever! However, after the most fantastic World Series EVER, I cannot believe the outpouring of good-will from Cubs fans, most of whom don’t even know me. Hundreds of folks have called or visited my restaurant to let me know how happy they were for ME that this year was the year the Cubs won it all. Most folks said that after a deceased loved one, they

thought of me next. How awesome is that? And from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to everybody. On the other hand, and I’m not crazy, hundreds of folks said that they thought that maybe the Cubs finally won it all BECAUSE of me and my enthusiastic commercials. And from the top of my voice, I want to scream, “You’re welcome!” Go Cubs! Go, Cubs, Go! This was the year – for sure! John Confonti Cubs fan; Owner, Mr. C’s Family Restaurant

Commentary

Rauner only needed an excuse By Rich Miller Capitol Fax

s Senate President John Cullerton sees it, Gov. Bruce Rauner “needed an excuse” to veto a bill last week that would’ve given the Chicago Public Schools $215 million for its June 30th pension payment. And Cullerton believes he turned out to be that excuse. There’s little doubt that Rauner was likely to veto the proposal, which passed in June with Rauner’s support contingent upon a pension reform agreement by early January. Rauner’s office was already privately threatening to veto it as part of the ever-escalating war over a “stopgap” budget with House Speaker Michael Madigan. And, frankly, one of the biggest reasons why the neo-liberal education reformer ran for governor in the first place was his view that the Chicago Teachers Union had “won” its 2011 strike and needed to be severely reined in or even broken. “Starve the beast” to force teacher layoffs would be one way to hobble that union. Not to mention that the governor and his top people have been convinced for months that Speaker Madigan wouldn’t ever come

to terms on a pension reform deal. A proposal backed by Mayor Emanuel to make changes to the pension laws for non-educator employees at the Chicago Public Schools system is opposed by the CTU, and Madigan and that union have become super-tight since Rauner’s inauguration—and the relationship only strengthened when CTU backed Madigan during his primary campaign earlier this year. It also probably didn’t help matters much when Cullerton suggested to Rauner during a leaders meeting earlier last week that it would be a whole lot easier to pass a pension reform bill if the governor reached a contract agreement with AFSCME. Gov. Rauner, who has often referred to the state employee union as “AF-Scammy” and said during his campaign that he might have to “take a strike” to bring the union to heel, told Cullerton in no uncertain terms that the two issues were not connected and would not be connected. This from the same guy who wants to connect term limits to passing a budget. And then after last Thursday’s leaders meeting at the Statehouse, Cullerton was asked about the timeline of the pension

reform negotiations so that CPS could get its $215 million. “You’re talking about two different bills,” Cullerton said. “We haven’t talked about putting those two things together at this point in time.” Reporters followed up, saying they thought there was a deal tying the two topics together. Cullerton said that was the governor’s plan. Rauner, he said, had declared he wouldn’t sign the CPS bill without a pension agreement, but that the Democratic leaders had always reserved the right to override if that didn’t happen. The governor’s people only heard Cullerton say there was no deal. They claimed he was deliberately blowing things up and were furious about it. The governor’s veto of the CPS legislation soon emerged: “Breaking our agreement undermines our effort to end the budget impasse and enact reforms with bipartisan support,” Rauner wrote in his veto message. The move took Cullerton by surprise. He agreed during a chat with me later in the day that he’d put a parliamentary hold on the bill in June in order to “buy time to negotiate the pension reform.” But he denied that he’d

broken any agreement. “Pension reform was the price for signing the bill,” he admitted, but “I was always reserving the right to try to override” a CPS funding veto if that deal couldn’t be done. “They misunderstood what I said and they should’ve called and asked me and I would’ve gone back out and clarified it,” Cullerton insisted. “They just vetoed the bill.” That failure to reach out to him convinced Cullerton that Rauner was simply looking for any excuse to kill the CPS bill. Cullerton insisted that he was serious about trying to negotiate a pension reform deal. “I’m the only one pushing the pension reform stuff. He hasn’t actually worked on passing any bills,” Cullerton said of Rauner. Sen. Cullerton didn’t deny that he’d brought up settling the AFSCME contract with Rauner, but said it was a “logical” step to take to find the necessary votes to pass a pension reform bill. Plenty of Republican legislators, after all, have state employees in their districts. “You don’t just go out there and pass a bill,” he said, adding, “They don’t know how to pass a bill.” They do know how to veto one, though.

Trump exaggerates bigly on Carrier deal By Ned Resnikoff ThinkProgress.org

wo weeks ago, President-elect Donald Trump announced he had personally strongarmed the air conditioning and heater company Carrier into keeping more than 1,100 jobs at an Indiana factory, rather than offshoring them. “Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences,” Trump said during last week’s victory lap at the Carrier plant in Indianapolis. “Not going to happen.” But the more details about Trump’s negotiations with Carrier become public, the more hollow his victory appears. First, various outlets reported that the number of jobs saved was closer to 800 than 1,100. Then, Carrier revealed that Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence — the current governor of Indiana — had purchased the company’s continued presence in the state with more than $7 million in tax breaks. Some “consequences.” Throughout all of this, the man who claimed to represent Carrier factory workers — Donald Trump — completely ignored

the institution that actually represents them: United Steelworkers Local 1999. The union says it was entirely cut out of negotiations between Trump and Carrier, and only learned the outcome last Thursday, when the president-elect gave his self-con-

gratulatory speech in Indianapolis. “There was no interaction with the Trump team and the union at any level. The union was left in the dark until the day of the announcement,” Local 1999 union rep Kelly Ray Hugunin told ThinkProgress in

an email. “Even then, no interaction with the Trump team.” As of press time, the transition team has not responded to a request for information on their communications — if any — with the Carrier union. What the union learned on Thursday, it told local press, is that Carrier had not left 1,100 union jobs intact. Instead, only 730 union jobs and 70 other positions would be saved. More than 500 Indianapolis jobs, along with 700 at a plant in Huntington, are still on the chopping block. Nonetheless, the deal appears to have had its intended effect. Following days of misleading, laudatory news coverage, a new Politico/Morning Consult poll finds 60 percent of respondents now have a more favorable view of the president-elect thanks to the Carrier deal. That’s not much comfort to Local 1999, which is glad to see some jobs preserved but is frustrated with the opaque negotiating process. “Perhaps more jobs could have been saved had the union been invited to participate in negotiations,” said Hugunin.

Ript readies for anniversary show By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

he Rockford area hard rock band Ript first made their debut in 1986 and quickly rose to the top of the city’s live music food chain with original songs like “This is your brain on Rock-n-Roll”, “She loves it loud” and others. Their high energy, no nonsense live act unequivocally left no doubt that they were playing for keeps, and then some. By the end of the decade the band had earned a reputation for fast living, fast playing and the uncanny ability to attract trouble both on and off the stage. They would go on to release their self titled album RIPT in 1991 followed by more line up changes and an extensive tour. Sadly by 1993 grunge rock had crashed the party and The times, they were a changin’. Like it or not the boys ultimately had to say goodbye as the record companies were looking for doom and gloom and the days of good time, in your face rock ‘n’ roll had all of a sudden taken a backseat to Eddie Vedder soundalikes. Throughout the last 20 years the band has gotten back together for several reunion shows and every time they are greeted by a packed house with die hard “Ripsters” yelling out their favorite songs in hopes they will be played. On February 4, 2017, Ript will be reuniting for a 30th anniversary show at Whiskey’s Roadhouse, 3207 North Main Street. It’s a show you do not want to miss. We caught up with guitarist and founding member Mike “Ringo” Nelson to share his thoughts on the bands history. Rockford Rocked Interview: You guys are getting together in February to celebrate Ript’s 30th anniversary. Is it difficult getting all the guys together in the same room these days? Are you all still in the area? Mike Nelson: Yeah, it can be a bit difficult, especially with me living in south Alabama and Utley (bass) living in Florida. When we decide to do a show everyone does what it takes to make it happen. We still love doing it and always look forward to getting together. I guess you can say Ript is in our blood and always will be. RRI: Does it surprise you after all these years that so many people still remember the band? MN: Yes, it is surprising. But looking back, Ript and its fans have always been like family to each other and families stay together through thick, thin and time. It’s good to know we made at least some kind of mark, be it good and maybe sometimes not so good (laughs).

RRI: Do you plan on having any former Ript members come up and play this time around? MN: To be honest that hasn’t been discussed yet. You’ll just have to show up and find out. RRI: I was recently asked where to find Ript music. Will there be any Ript merchandise available at the show? MN: We were pulled from iTunes and Amazon after a dispute with our company and distributor (obviously royalty checks were the issue). Hopefully that will be worked out soon. Our songs and CD have been found from Sweden to Thailand. You just have to search the internet but you can find it. As far as the show goes our longtime manager, Chuck Stout, is putting all that together. There will be T-shirts, CDs, etc. RRI: How much time do you guys usually have to rehearse the old songs before hitting the stage? MN: We get together just one night, maybe two, before a show. Most of that time is spent drinking and a little is spent jamming (laughs). We have played so many of these songs so many times it’s second nature. The songs are such a part of us you just never forget them. For this show we asked (on the Ript Facebook page) what people would like to hear from some more obscure back catalog of songs. We have chosen some of the songs people picked to play at this show. We will have to spend some time bringing those songs back to life. RRI: Is there anything that you would like to say to the fans in closing? MN: This is really going to be a big show!

Huguenin will be kicking the night off followed by Prowler then Ript. We can’t wait to see all the Ripsters tearing it up again. I prom-

ise it will be a loud, fast, kick ass night of rock and roll and I’m sure a wee bit of mayhem! Some things will never change.

Tube Talk: Musical madness By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

es. Musicals. Again. (And I haven’t even reminded you to watch The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend since last season. I fully expect you already are watching every episode.) For the past few years, NBC has aired a live musical every holiday season. Guess what? NBC’s chairman of entertainment, one of the executives behind the annual event, is Rockford native Bob Greenblatt, who fell in love with musical theater while attending Boylan Catholic High School. The first musical NBC resurrected was The Sound of Music Live! It starred Carrie Under-

wood and dominated the ratings when it aired in 2013. The next year was Peter Pan Live! starring Allison Williams, but that broadcast suffered a bit because the show and its songs aren’t as widely known as The Sound of Music. Last year’s production of The Wiz garnered big ratings and rave reviews. This year NBC is giving us Hairspray Live! Some of you might remember when Hairspray was a 1988 John Waters movie about Tracy Turnblad, a Baltimore girl who loved to dance, played by Ricki Lake, back before it was a full-fledged musical. Or maybe you remember that the movie was turned into a 2003 Broadway musical that earned Tony Awards for newcomer Marissa

7PM THIS FRIDAY

HAUNTED, MYSTERIOUS & SACRED PLACES – AN EVENING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MUSIC WITH NICHOLAS GUNN

"Chills", "Breathtaking", "Epic", "An Incredible Experience" are some of the words that have been used to describe Haunted, Mysterious and Sacred Places – An Evening Under the Influence of Music with Nicholas Gunn. Nicholas Gunn, a recognized platinum selling instrumental artist and composer, has carefully tailored a musical program set to an intense light and interpretive dance show. The show alone is enough to entrance and captivate! Take the show and place it in the most haunted, mysterious and sacred locations across the United States, well, what else can we say - it’s an all sensory experience not for the weak of heart!

at Veterans Memorial Hall

211 N Main Street, Downtown $60 • tickets at nicholasgunn.com/live

Jaret Winokur as Tracy and Harvey Fierstein as Tracy’s mother (yes, mother), Edna Turnblad. Fierstein is reprising his role for the NBC production. No? Then surely you remember the 2007 feature film based on the Broadway musical based on the 1988 movie. That one starred John Travolta as Edna. There’s a reason Hairspray has been re-done so many times. It’s an uplifting story about a girl beating the odds and going after what she wants. Adding great songs makes it even more entertaining. Along with Fierstein, the NBC cast includes Jennifer Hudson, Kristin Chenoweth, Ariana Grande, Sean Hayes, Andrea Martin,

Martin Short, Derek Hough, and many other familiar faces, and introduces Maddie Baillio as Tracy Turnblad. Watch Hairspray Live! Wednesday night and by Thursday you’ll probably have songs like “Good Morning Baltimore,” “Mama I’m a Big Girl Now,” “Big Blonde and Beautiful,” and “You Can’t Stop the Beat” running through your brain. It takes a lot of talent in front of and behind the cameras to pull off a live production like this. For a theater geek like me, NBC’s new holiday tradition of live musicals is event television at its best.

Programming Note

Hairspray Live! airs on NBC tonight at 7 p.m.

Moana enjoyable but not very memorable By Thomas Simpson Contributor

alt Disney returns with their 56th animated feature, Moana. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, and co-directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, Moana draws its inspiration from Polynesian culture and mythology. The film touted controversy before its release, with claims it was culturally insensitive and guilty of perpetuating stereotypes. Opinion was more positive of the film itself once it was actually seen, even if it isn’t necessarily worthy of the gushing praise it has received. Moana Waialiki (Auli’i Cravalho) is the daughter and heir of a chief on the small Polynesian island of Motunui. She is chosen by the ocean to retrieve the heart of the island Goddess Te Fiti, which was stolen by the demi-god Maui a millennium ago. Moana’s father forbids her to cross the reef which he feels is too dangerous for mortals however with the help of her grandmother, Moana sets sail on her epic adventure. When she discovers the heart she also finds Maui (Dwayne Johnson) who is arrogant, brash and selfish. Together they must somehow work together to prevent a terrible darkness consuming Moana’s home. The animation is truly stunning and an utter joy to watch. The vibrant colours are rich and energetic and never once blur into a CGI mess. Most notably the hand drawn tattoos of Maui are brilliant and prove to be a character of their own.

Plot wise, there isn’t anything knew on display and the film takes a while to get going. The backstory to Moana’s quest is essential but the script steps up a gear once she is introduced to Maui. Johnson’s natural charisma shines through even in his voice acting with his conniving buffoonery played wonderfully alongside Cravalho’s headstrong and confident Moana. That’s not to say the titular character is without her flaws as her inexperience and stubbornness endanger the duo, both learn valuable lessons. The regular Disney themes are the lifeblood of the film but unfortunately the songs aren’t very memorable. Few and far between, the songs hinder the pacing for the most part and leave no lasting impact. One number in particular stands out is “Shiny”, sung by Jermaine Clement’s monster crab. It’s very catchy and accompanies one of the more exquisite animated sequences in the movie. Moana has given us a couple of great characters but they exist in a largely forgettable film. It’s unlikely that adults will get much from Moana but it’s a pleasing kids film with enough spectacle to keep eyes occupied even if the first act drags a little. What will appeal to older audiences is the hilarious yet brutal, but thankfully life affirming, short film Inner Workings that precedes the feature.

Little Mermaid makes brilliant splash at Paramount By Bill Beard Contributor

his little gal has been swimming/ walking around screens and stages for years! Since 1989 in fact, when the original Disney animated film first appeared. Based on a Hans Christian Anderson tale first printed in 1836, The Little Mermaid has found life in various forms: film, television and live theatre, since that Disney movie first captured the hearts of children….and adults…all over the world. It was so loved that Disney made a sequel in 2000, The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, and a prequel in 2008, The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning. In all three of these films, the voice of Ariel was created by Rockford’s own Jodi Benson. So when Disney decided that Broadway was the next big step for its popular animated films, and when they reaped such rich rewards for the first few, especially Beauty and the Beast (1994), The Lion King (1997) and Mary Poppins (2006), it was only natural to tackle something even more challenging, like the adapting of an ‘underwater’ animation onto the live stage; and The Little Mermaid was spawned. Let me immediately proclaim that I absolutely loved this production. Also, and I hesitate to admit this, that I had never before seen this show….no, not even the film! So I entered the theatre…and the world of King Triton…with no pre-conceived expectations. The Paramount’s pre-opening publicity had offered some exciting press releases and some beautiful photos, and I was up for an exhilarating evening in Aurora‘s prized historic theatre. Oh, I confess to having checked back to the New York critics of the Broadway opening. Some mixed reviews, but I definitely tried to ignore the scathing appraisal of the New York Times’ infamous Ben Brantley, who referred to it as “Disney‘s charm-free adaptation…”;

“…a musical blunderbuss”; “…feels like less than two dimensions”; “…in that sparkly garishness that only a very young child, or possibly a tackiness-worshipping drag queen, might find pretty”! But why should I limit my pre-show expectations to the opinion of “one dyspeptic scribe”? After all, I had complete faith that the Paramount’s President, Tim Rater, and Artistic Director, Jim Corti, would come through as always. And they certainly did. The first brilliant choice they made was the talented Amber Mak as Director-Choreographer. Ms. Mak has been a power house with the Paramount since she became their New Works Development Director. I loved her production of Hairspray earlier in the season. Excellent. But The Little Mermaid is quite another challenge. “How do you create an under water world on stage? How do you bring to life sea animals and mystical characters?” Well, Ms. Mak answered her own questions: “…with the superpower that is the imagination”! In this case, Director Mak shared her own vision with the superb imaginations of a powerful staff of other gifted artists: the always innovative costumer, Theresa Ham, and the ingenious creator of puppets, Jesse Mooney-Bullock, whose fantastic “creatures“ would so beautifully populate the magnificent fantasy aquarium stage fashioned by Scenic Designer Jeffrey Kmiec, and vividly envisioned by Lighting Designer Jesse Klug and Projection Designer Mike Tutaj. The overall visual success of this shows relies completely on the combination of these outstanding talents. The plot revolves around Ariel, the youngest of King Triton’s seven daughters, who dreams of finding out what it would be like to live as “part of the world” on land; and when she saves a handsome sailor from drowning, but cannot reveal herself, she determines to realize her dream. She bargains with Ursala, the wicked Sea Witch, to exchange her

beautiful voice for an opportunity to have her mermaid tail turned into feet, so she can run away to find her prince. She is accompanied by her faithful servant, Sebastian the crab, and her friend, Flounder. A wonderfully eventful plot ensues, but to follow it may require renting the original film, or far better yet, get yourself down to the Paramount and see this purely delightful musical. But certainly the key to the character fun lies in the inventive puppets created by Mr. Mooney-Bullock. Puppets have been used in various ways in various Broadway shows, and certainly by Disney, a la The Lion King. But here each puppet is “manned”, manipulated…and voiced….by its actor, the two combining to become one entity, the “character”. The ensemble consists of a marvelous array of sea creatures, exotic fish, coral, sea gulls…. you name it! And each one is a marvelous puppet, carried or “worn” by an actor or dancer, subtly costumed and manipulating the puppet to appear natural. The most impressive treatment is for Ursala, played by the splendid Christina Hall. Her austere black costume includes eight enormous flexible tentacles, hanging and flowing around her, manipulated by four black-hooded, low swirling dancers creating very life-like movements with the tentacles, but drawing almost no attention to themselves. And always at her side are her two minions, the electric eel-like Flotsam and Jetsam, marvelously handled by Adam Fane and John Adam Keating. The overall effect is astounding. And in addition to the visual, these three characters have two of the best songs. Flotsam and Jetsam have a great number called “Sweet Child”; but Ursala has the definite show stopper, “Poor Unfortunate Souls“, which is a fantastic finale for Act I, and is reprised to become the last big moment of Act II. The young lovers are wonderful. Kari Yancy comes to Paramount from Ivins, Utah, where she has starred in several produc-

tions in the enormous outdoor Tuacahn Amphitheatre, including Ariel in The Little Mermaid. She brings a lovely soprano voice, perfect for the major numbers, “The World Above” and “Part of Your World”. Prince Eric is played by a Chicago favorite, Devin Desantis. I have admired his versatility for several years around the city, in particular his roles in Mamma Mia and Hairspray at the Paramount. John Butler-Duplessis does a super job as Sebastian (the clam). In fact, Sebastian the puppet suffered somewhat as one of the lesser distinctive designs, but I finally realized that it was because Mr. Butler-Duplessis was such a darned good actor. Young Ricky Falbo as Flounder deserved a more distinctive puppet as well. Michael Ehlers was wonderfully ruffled as Scuttle, the Gull; and when joined by his fellow gulls (Aaron Patrick Craven, Anthony Sullivan, Jr., and J. Tyler Whitmer), their opening of Act II tap number, “Positoovity”, was terrific. Evan Tyrone Martin was impressively powerful as King Triton, perhaps somewhat too strident at times, but convincingly regal. The surprise highlight of the evening was from a favorite Chicago actor, George Keating, who switched from the sophisticated Grimsby, guardian to Prince Eric, to the flamboyant French Chef Louis, for the show-stopping “Les Poissons” production number. His comedic sense of style and controlled caricature was absolutely on target. Let me assure you Stateline theatre goers that this is a fabulous family show! It is one of the most imaginative, innovative production concepts I have ever recommended. It plays through January 15, and the drive down I-39 and I-88 to Aurora is straight and easy. It would be a great holiday outing for the whole family. Go! For information call 630-896-6666 or visit paramountaurora.com.

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: The full moon in Gemini on December 13 proves to be a lively one in one way or another. In fact, it could even shift during the course of the day as well as the days surrounding it from mundane to exceptional. This is a wild card day, so take advantage of the energy it provides. We will be entering our final Mercury retrograde for the year on December 19-January 8. I will discuss that at length in next week’s column. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Self-employed or self-contracted work is highlighted during this lunar cycle, contacts you make now will be extremely beneficial in the months to come. You will be expanding your career sector by taking on an additional product or service. By winter’s end all of your hard work and efforts will come to fruition. The past holds the key to your future, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Your intuition is working overtime, be still and listen to your gut. This energy will provide you with new career opportunities as well as heighten your love life. When January

arrives, it arrives with a bang. All of your hopes, dreams and ambitions begin to fall into place, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — Opportunities arrive for romantic endeavors during the month of December. You may not understand the intensity of this at first. However, as the days roll on you will be able to sense the connection. The full moon in your sign on December 13 is absolutely outstanding and shines in your favor. Enjoy it, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Your ability to help and heal others is extremely visible during this lunar cycle, but what do you do to take care of yourself? Time for a little self nurturing now. A day at the spa or an indulgent meal should be on your list of things to do at this time. This will revitalize you to continue your amazing strength with those who need it most. A work opportunity arrives that complies with your schedule after the first of the year. Relax, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Those Leos that have found themselves restless within their current work situation will find a new avenue to pursue after the first of the year. Keep your eyes and ears open because it appears to be visible as early as December for some of you. You can’t have a romantic relationship when you’re allowing outside influences to get in the way. Set better boundaries, Leo.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You will be put in a position of authority at this time and you will handle this with grace and ease. Someone needs you to step up to the plate and protect them and you have the emotional tools to do just that. Choose your words carefully; count to ten before you speak, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Romance may have had you in the dumps but now the tables are turning for the better. All of the unforeseen events are out in the open and you have the tools to battle these difficulties one by one. Before week’s end a heart to heart talk clears the air and sets your mind at ease, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You’re in a position to have the upper hand at this time. Take these steps to protect those you love and allow yourself the time and space you need to take care of you as well. You have the tools to accomplish great things in life and now is the time to use them. Your intuition is dead on during this lunar cycle. Use this to improve the quality of your life, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — The full moon in Gemini complements your energy and supports your long-term goals throughout the entire lunar cycle. Enjoy this little breath of fresh air and create an outline for the months to come. Saturn is still in your sign through December of 2017; however, you will begin to see benefits of this as opposed to the challenges in the year to come. Embrace this, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Opportunities arrive to improve the quality of your life especially in the career sector. You have underestimated your abilities and your emotional state has caused you to go into a shell. Crack it open and look around. Be open and receptive to change even if it makes you a bit uneasy at first. Blessings are on the way shortly, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Watch that you do not get into a tangle with a loved one or friend this week. Pressures are mounting and you may not have the tools to deal with theses emotions properly. Surround yourself with tried and true individuals that have your back at all costs. Next week you will see the money pouring in from all directions, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You have the ability to acquire a rare object or a new client during this lunar cycle, so put your best foot forward now. Expansion with finance is evident and you have the ability to clean up some debt that may have developed over the past few months. Now that you have some breathing room set some aside for a rainy day, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

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

Life Changes When Your Brain Changes By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. I love learning and taking classes and I am presently taking a class on Brain Chemistry. Your unique brain chemistry controls how you think, feel and behave. When you have certain deficiencies they are directly related to so many medical problems. Restoring deficiencies is the only way in my opinion to regain your health. When there has been an injury to a certain portion of the brain, conditions happen. Let’s look at an injury in the Deep Limbic area of the brain. If this area goes untreated then conditions such as moodiness, irritability, clinical depression is just a few changes a person might go through. A bang on the head due to a fall on an icy driveway, a childhood head injury during a backyard baseball game are just a few examples of innocent head injuries. There are some powerful psychiatric medicines out there that are very scary. God has a huge pharmacy of wonderful herbs and foods that are great for the brain.

Let’s look at the brain’s system: • Deep Limbic • Basal Ganglia • Prefrontal Cortex • Cingulate System • Temporal Lobe Knowing what system has been injured will then allow me as a practitioner to educate you on what supplements to take and what foods you should eat. Knowing what system has been injured will allow me as a practitioner to know what neurotransmitters has been disruptive and what supplements and foods will bring balance. Neurotransmitters such as: • Serotonin • Dopamine • Acetylcholine • Gaba Learning is so fun and as we age it is so important to maintain a healthy balance of mind, body and brain health.

EPA lifts restrictions on key soy herbicide

By Laura Quinn U of I News Bureau

URBANA – One barrier to weed control on soybean farms has just been lifted. In early November, the Environmental Protection Agency approved a label allowing use of the herbicide dicamba in dicamba-resistant soybean, although only one commercial product received that label. Many Illinois farmers anticipate this technology will provide a much-needed method to control weeds that are resistant to multiple herbicides, as well as other difficult-to-control species. “Without question, there are instances and scenarios in which dicamba will improve control of certain weed species, but dicamba will not bring back the ‘good ol’ days’ of POST-only weed control programs in soybean. Current expectations of what this technology can accomplish tend to be a bit more optimistic than what the

technology actually will be able to deliver,” says University of Illinois weed scientist Aaron Hager. Hager expects the technology will work well in a handful of scenarios. For example, dicamba should be effective for glyphosate-resistant horseweed (i.e., marestail) that does not respond to the traditional burndown tankmix of glyphosate and 2,4-D. “The new dicamba label allows up to 1 lb dicamba acid-equivalent to be applied prior to planting dicamba-resistant soybean. This can provide better and more consistent control of glyphosate-resistant horseweed compared with 0.5 lb acid-equivalent 2,4-D,” Hager says. It is important to note that although the new label allows soybean to be planted immediately after dicamba application, Hager advises farmers to wait a few days following application before injuring the weeds with the planting operation.

Hager also predicts that dicamba will provide good control of tall and ivy-leaf morning glory, as well as common and giant ragweed. “Dicamba certainly can provide better control of herbicide-resistant ragweeds than can glyphosate or ALS inhibitors,” he says. For farmers battling waterhemp, the solution may not be as simple. Most university weed control guides list dicamba as good or very good on waterhemp, but not excellent. “Dicamba can improve control of pigweed species, but it will never be as effective as glyphosate once was,” Hager notes. “Illinois farmers have made great strides toward utilizing more diverse herbicide programs for waterhemp control than they were using a decade ago. We suggest that dicamba should be used in a way that does not reduce this diversity. It is imperative to maintain a diverse weed management approach to prolong the effective utility of dicamba.”

Illinois waterhemp populations have evolved resistance to herbicides from six site-of-action groups. According to Hager, resistance to dicamba is not a question of “if ”, but “when.” Hager points out some of the restrictions that come with the new dicamba label. “The current label contains several mandates related to the actual spray application procedure that are somewhat unique,” he says. “For instance, there are limitations on boom height, sprayer speed, and nozzle type that applicators must follow.” One of the most significant limitations is the inability to tankmix dicamba with other herbicides. There is an avenue by which other herbicides can be approved for application with dicamba, but if the current label remains unchanged during the 2017 growing season, applicators will be required to apply dicamba alone. “In other words, farmers will make

a separate application of dicamba and another application of other needed herbicides,” Hager says. Additional concerns about the new product relate to yield potential of dicamba-resistant soybean and the possibility of particle drift and volatilization. For more information on these issues, please visit The Bulletin. More information will be shared about dicamba use in dicamba-resistant soybean as the product is rolled out. Hager suggests that dicamba will provide a solution to unique weed management challenges, but notes that not all weed management challenges can be met with dicamba. “Other herbicide-resistant crop technologies, such as Liberty Link and Enlist, also can provide solutions and remain viable options for soybean producers. Proper stewardship of all technologies is essential to prolong their effective utilization,” Hager says.

Hog prices join corn and wheat at 10-year lows

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – For many producers of agricultural commodities, prices are a key driver of their financial wellbeing. Wide-ranging price movements over time can vastly alter their financial conditions. According to Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt, it is clear that the financial impacts of price movements affect many agricultural input businesses as well. Hurt asks, what can happen to prices of agricultural commodities in a decade, and why look at the last decade? “It was 10 years ago in the fall of 2006 that agricultural commodity prices began to head upward in what can be described as a boom/ moderation price cycle,” Hurt says. “Nearby futures prices are used to compare prices over time. Measured this way, prices for wheat, corn, and lean hogs in the fall of this year fell to 10-year lows, dating back to 2006 or earlier. Unfortunately, costs of production are not at 10-year lows and this means narrow margins or losses are likely for many producing

these commodities.” Focusing on lean hog futures prices, the low this fall was on the October 2016 contract at $40.70. Hurt says the last time lean hog futures have been this low was in October 2002. This means lean hog futures in the fall of 2016 were the lowest lead contract price in 14 years. Lean hog futures have recovered somewhat since October, with the lead contract currently trading around $50, a level that is at the lower end of the 10-year range. Cash prices also reflect these multi-year lows. Live prices of hogs for 51 percent to 52 percent carcasses are expected to average about $36.25 in the final quarter of this year. This will be the lowest fourth quarter price since 2002 and the lowest cash prices in 14 years, the same as lean hog futures. The current quarter is shaping up to have the worst losses since the first quarter of 2008 when cash corn prices moved above $4 per bushel after many years around $2. “A 3 percent increase in this quarter’s pork production is one of the forces keeping prices low, but shortages of packer capacity seems to be another factor that is an additional downward

force on low farm prices,” Hurt says. “Over time, the pork industry growth has reached a point where more packer capacity is needed. In addition, the largest hog supplies of the year tend to be in the final quarter, which puts added seasonal pressure on capacity. It is generally thought that 2.5 million headperweekisnearfederalinspection capacity.Infourofthepastsevenweeks, thenumberofheadprocessedatfederal inspected plants has been above 2.5 million head. “When there is a shortage of capacity in any industry there tend to be high returns to those who own that capacity,” Hurt adds. “That seems to be the case this fall as the farm-towholesale margin is at record-high levels. Looking at the most recent USDA data, the farm-to-wholesale margin for January through October has averaged 68 cents per retail pound this year compared to 56 cents per retail pound for the same period in 2015. If all of this higher margin were bid into the farm level price, it would increase live hog prices by $5 to $7 per live hundredweight.” After prices average about $36 for the final quarter of 2016, prices

are expected to improve to about $40 for the first quarter of 2017 with head counts that are a little smaller, Hurt says. Then, seasonally smaller supplies in the second and third quarters could support live hog prices around $50. “Two new processing plants are expected to come online by the fall of 2017,” Hurt says. “These should relieve the capacity shortage and allow hog prices to be higher a year from now, even though hog supplies will be higher. Current forecasts are for live hog prices to average about $43 in the fourth quarter of 2017. Live hog prices averaged around $50 in 2015, but will drop to about $46

for 2016 and are forecast to average near $46 again in 2017.” With current costs estimated at $49, Hurt says this means losses for this quarter of about $34 per head and for the first quarter of 2017 of around $27 per head. The second and third quarters should be at about the breakeven point, with loses of $19 in the final quarter of 2017. The forecast of annual losses of about $11 per head in 2016 are expected to continue for 2017, Hurt says. “More packer capacity will help hog prices in 2017. In addition, retail pork prices are expected to continue to drop and provide stronger domestic usage.”

Mr. Green Car

Getting prepped for winter driving season

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

This is a first for Mr. Green Car – a repeat article. On December 4 we had a nice deep, wet, slushy snowstorm that found us helping friends get their car out of a parking space. Our friends needed to read this article, and so may you. It is November 23 [2015] as I write this column. We just got through a near record-breaking (and in some areas well exceeding record-breaking) November snowstorm. Winter is BACK. By no small coincidence, the November issue of Consumer Reports has an article on winter driving and the effectiveness of all-wheel drive and types of tires in winter conditions. I have written in the past on both subjects, but gleaning from Consumer Reports and my own experiences it is always worth bringing up the subject again. For years now the automakers have marketed all-wheel drive (AWD) to us as a must have for safe all-weather driving. Having personally owned several AWD and 4-wheel drive trucks that indeed, when it comes to getting going in snow, they cannot be beat. But that’s really only where they excel (as Consumer Reports reported too) – and they do well in going up snow-covered driveways as well. But AWD and 4x4 don’t do much for stopping or turning. In fact, they can be a detriment. I often found in the case of our AWD Subaru, its traction would allow me (not so much my wife Ruth) to get going too fast for conditions, then finding that I had not allowed sufficient stopping room or was going too fast around a corner. With AWD, once the front tires start sliding while stopping or turning, you have lost control and will drift out of your intended path. The get going traction of AWD also leads one to believe that any old tire is fine for winter. Here Consumer Reports dispelled that notion – and where my personal experience has confirmed. AWD without the proper winter tires is barely any better than frontwheel drive and rear-wheel drive for driving

safety. While one can obtain “performance all-season” tires that perform better in rain and snow than ordinary “all-season” tires, most of us do not buy them due to cost – and they are not usually installed as standard equipment on new cars. Since tires are now lasting from 60,000 to 100,000 miles, many owners never change tires in the time they own their cars. The reason we can get this much mileage out of tires is in part due to the harder wear resistant rubber compounds in the tires. This same hardness works against us when it comes to getting good traction on wet or snowy roads. Consumer Reports says that all-season tires have a stopping distance of 134 feet on dry pavement, a stopping distance of 143 feet on wet pavement and a whopping 668 feet on snowy pavement from 60 mph on a 2015 Honda CR-V with AWD. The same CR-V stopped in less than half the distance on snow – 310 feet with winter tires. Winter tires make all the difference in the world in snow. We sold our Subaru and fitted our old Honda Civic that is front-wheel drive with winter tires all around (and so far, leave them on all year round). The soft rubber

and extensive siping (little cuts or slots) and more aggressive lugs have made the old Honda nearly as good in snow as the Subaru (actually stops and turn better). I did have to pledge to myself to do a better job of keeping our driveway clear – it never mattered to the Subaru, it does to the Honda. If driven extensively on dry roads, the winter tires will wear out very fast. But the old Honda is our “winter car” now, driven mostly when the snow is too deep for the Volt to contend with (the Volt, by the way, does quite well on snowy, slushy roads and hills – just not deep snow due to its low ground clearance). So if you’d like to upgrade to AWD-like traction, without the expense of paying for an AWD drivetrain and its associated maintenance, then consider the modest expense of buying four wheels and winter tires. Since many vehicles now come with aluminum wheels, you may want to look into buying plain steel wheels – either new or used – then purchasing good winter tires and having them installed. Inexpensive plastic wheel covers can dress up the steel wheels – which are resistant to damage from potholes. You should be able to do this for

under $1,000. Since they are only going to be used intermittently – they will last you many years – perhaps as long as you own the car and the next owner as well. It is a bit of a hassle to store them and have them swapped twice a year, but well worth the effort. If you own AWD already, consider upgrading to a tire that has better winter performance and leave them on all year. Or consider getting the most out of your vehicle and have a separate set of winter wheels and tires as well. Then you will be getting the kind of winter driving safety you thought you were going to get when you bought the vehicle. Lastly, Consumer Reports tested three small SUVs in the snow. Their testing found the Subaru Forester did very well, the Honda CR-V was okay, and the Toyota RAV4 was marginal (my description not theirs). You can view video of these vehicles being tested in snow at ConsumerReports.org/video. The same November 2015 issue has the “Ten Best and Worst” cars for winter driving (an owner survey report). There is also an extensive “everything you need to know” article about tires, including rating 21 winter tires.

Building up your soil

By Grant McCarty Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

Now that we’ve discussed what your soil is and the health of your soil, it’s time to figure out what you can do about it. In most cases, you are already addressing your soil needs. Crop rotation is a key piece to long term soil building. By moving your plant families each year, even if it is one row over, your soil can benefit over time and address any potential soil health problems. There are many crop rotation designs that include rotations between heavy nutrient feeders, leguminous crops that can address nitrogen, etc. You also want to add organic matter. Organic matter can address soil building but in most cases it will not be addressing your crops’ nutrient needs as it has very low N-P-K. Manures can be a good source of organic matter. It can be influenced by source, age, storage, and bedding material. Cow and horse manure has more readily available nutrients. In general, you want to age manure for six months before planting such as spreading this winter and tilling under in the spring/summer. If you’ve aged manure at a separate location and are bringing it to you garden, wait a month

before planting. Like manure, composts can address similar soil building properties. Compost should be finished and also tested. It has a very low N-P-K like manures. In general, you might think of compost as soil microbial “feed”, as it does a number of good things in enhancing your soil in the spring. Finished compost should be applied a month before planting to help activate the soil microbial communities. There are many good guides out there when it comes to making your own compost. Leaf litter and other mulches like straw can provide organic matter to build the soil up. These materials vary as to how fast they will break down into the soil so you may need to shred these to speed up the decomposition. You do not always have to use just one organic matter. Using multiple organic matters throughout the season and different years can provide great benefits. Adopting long term crop rotation can further set you on the path towards long term soil health and benefits. Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

Healthcare

A drink a day may not always keep the doctor away By Lisa Rapaport Reuters Health

It’s called “holiday heart” because it happens to binge drinkers who feel a flutter or irregular heartbeat after too many cocktails at parties. But a research review suggests it can happen after just one drink. Conventional wisdom, based on plenty of previous research, is that the occasional glass of wine or beer can be good for the heart, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke as well as death from cardiovascular causes, lead study author Dr. Peter Kistler of the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute and the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, told Reuters Health. For the current study, however, researchers examined data collected on almost 900,000 people and found an 8 percent risk increase for irregular heartbeat with each alcoholic drink consumed per day. “Alcohol is not universally ‘good’ for the heart,” Kistler said. “It is beneficial for the ‘plumbing’ or blood supply to the heart muscle, but for the ‘electrical’ part of the heart or the heartbeat it is not.” The study focused on what’s known as atrial fibrillation, a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. Untreated, the condition doubles the risk of heart-related deaths and is linked to a five-fold increased risk for stroke, according to the American Heart Association. While nobody should binge drink

during the holidays, people with a history of atrial fibrillation should be especially vigilant about avoiding or limiting alcohol, Kistler said. Both men and women were equally at risk for holiday heart, researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The study doesn’t prove that an extra cocktail after dinner directly causes atrial fibrillation, the authors note. Still, they offer some theories about how spending too much time at the bar during holiday cocktail parties might be bad for the heartbeat. Drinking can damage heart cells directly and lead to small amounts of fibrous tissue within the heart causing an irregular heartbeat. The review found that people with atrial fibrillation who continue to drink are more likely to have ongoing irregular heartbeats even after a common surgery to repair the heart’s electrical system and fix the source of the flutter. Heart muscle cells contract in a coordinated way by movement of electrical signals between cells. Over time, drinking may actually change these electrical signals, triggering irregular heartbeat. Alcohol may also trigger an irregular heartbeat by stimulating what’s known as the autonomic nervous system, which controls bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion and breathing. More research still needs to be done to determine the specific mechanisms behind the relationship between alcohol and irregular heartbeat, the

authors note. Causes may include alcohol’s contribution to obesity, sleep and breathing problems, and high blood pressure, the authors speculate. One challenge with the study and most research on the heart effects of alcohol is that researchers rely on people to accurately recall and report on how much they drink, a flawed process that often leads participants to underestimate their alcohol consumption, noted Tim Stockwell, director of the Center for Addictions Research and a professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Often, studies that count former drinkers as ‘abstainers’ can obscure the effects of alcohol on the heart, too, making occasional drinkers look healthier than abstainers, Stockwell, who wasn’t involved in the study, said by email. Even so, there are some common sense steps anyone can take to lower the odds of heart rhythm problems after that next holiday party. “Certainly drinking with food, interspersing with non-alcoholic drinks and generally keeping the dose of alcohol low are all recommended,” Stockwell said. “This all reduces the heart’s exposure to cardiotoxins.”

NFL

Bears plan, resolve shine in win over 49ers

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

conversation of meaningful games for the Chicago Bears has struck up in the past few weeks. In a 2016 season where for many reasons the Bears are well out of the playoff race, the ideal to intentionally lose, or lose while competing, has been a significant underlying sentiment for the organization. Maintaining a high slot in next April’s draft is crucial for a team looking to continually add blue chip talent to a budding roster. But tanking or otherwise selling out to possess better odds in the NFL’s greatest lottery – just doesn’t happen. Players and coaches across the roster are fighting for roster spots and morale down the stretch. Some of these men could potentially not even be with the team next year so they’re trying to prove themselves. Why then, would they pay mind to a draft slot that have may no have bearing on their football careers? They’re not thinking like fans attempting to manage the team. As long as a locker room still believes and isn’t lost by a coach, a team will be playing hard, working for positivity and measured signs of growth to the end. In the first blustery snow of the winter year – while staring their own draft destiny dead in the face – in a suffocating 26-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers, the Bears made their statement of intent. This season ends on their terms in playing for each other to grow together, not for a better shot at a player that might not even pan out. A shot at the number two overall pick has likely gone by the wayside, but you’d be remiss to figure that mattered to Chicago. There are greater models of pride at stake. Head coach John Fox’s future at Halas Hall is still up in the air given his 3-9 team’s struggles, but one would be hard pressed not to be impressed with how his Bears are playing from whistle to whistle even while decimated by injuries. Chicago now has 16 players on injured reserve with the addition of quarterback Jay Cutler late Monday night – the largest figure in the NFL – so they’re essentially a bare bones team of undrafted free agents. Uniting together shouldn’t be so easy, but it’s a credit to the Bears coaching staff. There are still pillars to attain. “Hats off to those guys in the locker room. A lot of the young guys had to answer the bell and they’ve done an outstand-

ing job.” Said Fox of his team’s newfound resolve. And at this rate, you find heroes and leaders where you can. For these Bears, it’s particularly their 2016 draft gems in rookies Leonard Floyd, Jordan Howard, and Cody Whitehair respectively. Even while the 49ers are the worst team in the NFC, general manager Ryan Pace’s plan shined in this contest. Yes, it’s okay to take stock of players’ quality even against the worst of competition. It still matters. While there are other pieces that could be fixtures such as linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, this three-headed monster sticks out. In Whitehair’s case, he was to be the Bears’ starting left guard. He almost exclusively played tackle late in college at Kansas State. But injuries to the formerly incumbent center Hroniss Grasu forced the Bears’ hand. Versatility is a virtue. Now, 12 games into the season, Whitehair looks like the incremental man in the middle for a decade. Offensive linemen often don’t fully receive the recognition they deserve. They’re not the flash players making highlight reel receptions or throws down the field. But you’d be mistaken not to notice Whitehair, especially on plays where he knocks defensive linemen off kilter even while they were lined up offside. Whitehair gave the Bears another scare they did not need when he rolled his ankle early against San Francisco. But, he persevered through an ailing injury that doesn’t appear to be serious. Now’s not the time to let the team down. “It’s good to see smiles back on the faces of guys,” said the leader Whitehair of the Bears’ third win. A tough, polished, and perennial Pro Bowler – already a top man at his position – at just the tender age of 24. Not to be outdone, there’s of course of Jordan Howard, a prize get for Pace and company in the fifth round. The NFL’s ninth leading rusher had a historic day against the 49ers with his fifth 100-yard game of the season coming on a three-touchdown performance. He’s been the Bears’ galvanizing force on offense that’s run patiently and explosively downhill. When Chicago has been able to get Howard going, the offense hasn’t been stopped. It’s a testament to Howard’s ability and maturity that he’s been able to handle the increased pressure. Not every rookie tailback can excel with all of the defensive attention centered on them, but hasn’t bothered Howard, as Fox

praised another of his rookie leaders. “He’s mature beyond his years.” Said Fox of Howard and his rise. All of the conversation of Pace letting long-time franchise stalwart back Matt Forte walk in free agency has been quelled completely because of Howard’s emergence, perhaps only a shocking development for those outside of Chicago organization. Now, the Bears again have a young franchise star in the backfield. Finally, to the man that is becoming a superstar week by week in Leonard Floyd. Many criticized Pace for drafting Floyd with the 2016 first round pick. Some saw him as too raw and not yet used to a full pass-rushing role – a skillset he wasn’t exclusively deployed in at college at Georgia. Plus, he was undersized at 240 pounds. This was a player that wasn’t supposed to pay dividends immediately. Well, Pace would never publicly gloat, but you know the young general manager has to be enjoying watching his hand picked star blossom into an unstoppable force. After a slow start plagued by injuries and inconsistency, Floyd now has 16 tackles, six and a half sacks, a touchdown, and a safety in his last five games played. Two weeks after a scary head injury that had everyone hold their breath, Floyd put on a show against San Francisco. With four tackles, two sacks, a quarterback hit, a tackle for loss, and said safety, Floyd put himself in a race for hardware at season’s end. At the moment, he’s one of the frontrunners for Defensive Rookie of the Year, and if he continues his torrid pace, the eventual voting will be a foregone conclusion. The best mentality of pass rushers is continual work. Given the repertoire of skills he’s added over the past three months, he possesses that necessary patience. When you factor in a hungry relentlessness in combination with freakish athleticism, a star like Floyd is born. “I try to get to the quarterback as much as I can, as quickly as I can.” Said Floyd of his special acumen in finishing plays. Building blocks such as these men are what give the Bears hope. The draft is an unknown commodity until that time arrives. More or less, Chicago knows what it has in its young talent and it’s crucial that these players continue to flash. In the 2016 home stretch, Pace’s grand scheme has begun to take shape, even if it’s difficult to envision right now on the

outside. What’s important is that the Bears see the end goal in mind, and are continually striving for that future glory, one game at a time.

Week 14 at Detroit Lions

Detroit is one of the hottest teams in the league, as they’ve won four games in a row to vault themselves into position for their first NFC North division title since 1993, and a potential first round bye in the playoffs. When the Bears are on defense: Last time Chicago played the Lions, they flustered MVP candidate quarterback, Matthew Stafford, to his worst game of the season. Stafford was off target at Soldier Field as he threw two interceptions and helped the Bears salt away their first victory of the season in October. In eight games since, Stafford has almost been perfect with 13 touchdowns and only one interception thrown, propelling the Lions to contenders. What’ll be different this time around is that Stafford’s number one target in Golden Tate has been on fire of late, coming on the heels of an eight reception, 145-yard day against New Orleans. Chicago’s boosted pass rush that didn’t have Pernell McPhee or a this confident, Leonard Floyd, on last occasion, will have to get in Stafford’s face consistently to break up this connection. When the Bears are on offense: Quarterback Matt Barkley has been a surprise filling in as the third string passer. His game managing performance in the snow with no turnovers was one of Chicago’s highlights against the 49ers. The 26-year-old has raised questions of his potential even if only as a backup and the Bears have to be delighted at this development. Against the NFL’s 20th ranked passing defense, Barkley should have plenty of opportunities to get comfortable again. The Lions also are only around the middle of the pack with 27 sacks – good for 15th in the league. While Detroit’s defense led by cornerback, Darius Slay, has improved recently, they’re still far from a juggernaut. Seven of the Lions’ eight wins have been decided in the fourth quarter, so expect this one to come down to the end at Ford Field. Early Pick: Lions 27 Bears 21 Robert Zeglinski is a staff writer for SB Nation and managing editor at No Coast Bias. Follow Robert on Twitter:@RobertZeglinski.

NHL

Crow, Toews injuries put Hawks in trouble By Adam Hess Contributor

ith the NHL season now well into December, we are at a point where it is much easier now to determine which direction most teams are heading. Several of the league’s projected best teams struggled early on, leading some experts to question if those teams were ready for the big time as expected. Other teams that were expected to struggle came out of the gate hot, but have since cooled off. However, one team that still remains a bit of a mystery is our very own Chicago Blackhawks. While they sit quite comfortably atop the NHL’s Western Conference – if you want to consider a three point lead comfortable – there are still many questions that surround them. First and foremost with the Hawks is the issue of offense. Chicago has only scored more than three goals 10 times in 27 games thus far, and just twice in their last 11. They’ve scored

an have been chipping in with points, but the forwards should be tallying a majority of the points on the team. As it currently sits, three players are tied with 13 points on the team – McNeill, Abbott and Tanner Kero, with McNeill and Kero playing in all 22 games while Abbott has played in 21. Abbott, Martin Lundberg (who is playing his first year of North American hockey) and defenseman Cameron Schilling are all tied for the team lead in goals with five. Three of the top seven point producers are defensemen, which is understandable to have defenseman up in scoring. As a side note, the IceHogs might get a little scoring help as Nick Schmaltz has been reassigned from the Chicago Blackhawks to the IceHogs. What the above means is you basically have one line which is producing your points, with some minor contributions from your other lines. If you are going to have a team which is not going to put up the points, you need to be solid on the backend to prevent the other team from scoring. Unfortunately, this is not the case in Rockford, where almost every player on the team has a minus rating. One visible note to this is Erik Gustafsson, who is a team-leading -13. Plus-minus rating isn’t the be-all, end-all stats for poor defensive play, and is rather a futile indicator for showing defensive play. A Corsi-rating would help, but this information isn’t readily available in the AHL. Gustaffson has been told by upper-management in Chicago he needs to shoot the puck more, and be more

two or fewer goals in 13 of their 27 contests. And while they do have a positive goal differential of plus-6, that pales in comparison to other top teams. Montreal sits atop the league in points, and they have a goal differential of plus-18; the Rangers are tied with the Hawks for second in points, but have a plus-30 goal differential, five times better than the Hawks. Now, the argument can be made that those teams are likely benefitting from more luck in terms of finding the net more often than they should or would be expected to. And there is certainly value in being able to win tight games like the Hawks have done several times this year. But a lot of the Blackhawks success in keeping the puck out of the net has come from consistent superb performances from Corey Crawford. Crawford started the season better than any other NHL goalie, and for the first few weeks was undoubtedly the best netminder in the NHL. He has cooled off a bit since then,

while others have gotten hot. Still, Crawford holds an impressive .927 save percentage to go with a 2.27 goals against average. Not world beating numbers, but still impressive. However, Crawford is now out for the next two or three weeks after undergoing an emergency appendectomy last week. This injury comes just about a week after the team lost captain and number one center Jonathan Toews to a back injury that is reportedly not getting any better, meaning for the next two or three weeks, the Men of Four Feathers could be without their top-line center and starting goaltender. To spell it out for you: that is very B-A-D. The Blackhawks are still a talented team with a collection of top level players. Marian Hossa has found his stride, and patrick Kane continues to play well, even if not quite the same level as last season. Artemi Panarin has been impressive as well, and youngsters like Vinnie Hinostroza and Ryan Hartman have

also proven they have the ability to shine. But with the Blackhawks missing two key pieces in Crawford and Toews for an extended period of time now, they could very well be in a lot of trouble. While this early in the season is too early to begin to think about playoffs, it’s not too early to think about how important getting points in the standings now can prove to be later. The Blackhawks may very well be in a position to miss out on a lot of points in the next few weeks, and that could prove to be very impactful on the playoff picture come April. Others will step up in Toews’ and Crawford’s absences, and they’ll have to, as Patrick Kane noted following Chicago’s loss to Winnipeg on Sunday. But if the Blackhawks cannot find the proper remedies in their forward group and in net – Scott Darling will have to be huge for them – this could be very tough few weeks for the Hawks and their fans.

of an offensive defenseman, which is the case as he is currently second on the team in terms of shots with 62, four behind McNeill. When you are expected to help lead the team in scoring from the backend, you are going to be putting in a great deal of ice time, and at times when the team is behind, you are going to have to play more aggressively, which can lead to many defensive odd-man rushes and breakaways. This has been the case for Gus and his rating. On the flip side of things, players who are on the fourth and third line do not show as weak of a rating due to their limited time on the ice compared to defenseman and upper-line players. This is why the plus-minus is not a good measure for a player performance. Special teams have also been detrimental for Rockford. The IceHogs power play unit has not been that bad, as it is hovering at 18.3 percent, which is right in the middle of the pack at 15, it’s the penalty kill which has been more of a concern. The IceHogs currently sit at 24th in the league with a 77.5 percent kill rate. It’s not the worst in the league, but all of the other teams which are below Rockford in PK (minus the Hartford Wolfpack) are higher than Rockford in the PP department, meaning they are making up for this in goal scoring. And it is not just the lack of kills, it is when they are occurring in the game. Rockford has been penalized more in the second and third periods of games, and when they are holding a lead, they have a hard time holding the opposition at bay. Regardless of the many problems, the IceHogs will have to figure out their shortcom-

ings and work as a team to get things back on track before their season is over early.

MLB Offseason

Southside Teardown The White Sox traded Chris Sale because they are cheap and incompetent

By Collin Whitchurch Contributor

he White Sox made Chris Sale the 13th overall pick in MLB Draft on June 7, 2010. He debuted less than two months later, and six years later had developed into one of the best pitchers on the planet. He’ll enter the 2017 season on the heels of his fourth straight Top 5 finish in Cy Young voting and sixth straight Top 6. His contract, which will pay him $12 million in 2017 and culminate in 2018 and 2019 with team options at $12.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively, makes him one of the most valuable in baseball. He’ll be 28 years old the next time he throws a pitch in a regular season game. The White Sox ability to build a core as good as the one we saw at the conclusion of the 2016 season is something close to miraculous. For a team that has long struggled to develop above-average position players while

simultanelously being notoriously frugal when it comes to spending in free agency — the Sox are one of only four teams in the entire league that has never shelled out a free agent contract of $100 million or more — the Sox paired Sale with Jose Quintana, who turned into a front-end starter after being acquired as a minor league free agent for basically nothing. They also acquired Jose Abreu, one of the better slugging first basemen in the league, in a rare splurge in spending, and got an All-Star-caliber outfielder, Adam Eaton, in exchange for a good but replaceable starter in Hector Santiago. Throw in former No. 3 overall pick Carlos Rodon and his gobs of potential, and Todd Frazier and his 40-home run power, and the White Sox had, despite all of their flaws, built a pretty solid foundation on which to content. So how the hell did we get here? The White Sox officially began their rebuild on Tuesday when they shipped Sale to

Boston in exchange for four prospects. One of them, 21-year-old Yoan Moncada, is among the top prospects in baseball, maybe even a future perennial All-Star and MVP candidate. Another, Michael Kopech, is a flame-throwing 20-year-old with top-end talent but a lot of question marks. These two, along with lesser-heralded prospects Luis Alexander Basabe and Victor Diaz, may end up a very good haul for the Sox when all is said and done, but the fact that after years of half-assed attempts to build competence around such a strong foundation, they’ve

finally decided to cut their losses, is nothing short of embarrassing. The White Sox are in this position because they couldn’t supplement a solid, cost-controlled core with enough talent to become a playoff contender. They’re in this position because they refused to tap into the free agent market for complementary pieces. They didn’t need stars, they had those already! All they’ve needed was competence. They couldn’t find it, and jettisoning Sale is just the first step in what is sure to be a brutal, mind-numbing teardown.

Rockford IceHogs goaltender Jake Hildebrand made his AHL debut this past weekend in a relief appearance during Saturday’s game against the Grand Rapids Griffins. Hildebrand gave up two goals on 21 shots in just under 38 minutes of work. Todd Reicher

IceHogs continue slide into cellar By Todd Reicher

Contributor

’m taking a one-week break from the weekly review to discuss the current status of the Rockford IceHogs as they continue to inch closer towards possessing the worst record in the league. So what’s wrong with Rockford? There are a few things to cite as culprits for Rockford’s lack of wins; whether it be defense, goaltending, player turnover, weak special teams or lack of scoring players, but it all comes down to execution. First, let’s look at the goaltending situation. Rockford lost their starting goaltender for the past two seasons, Michael Leighton, when the management decided not to resign the

veteran goaltender and opt to get their currently signed goaltenders some experience. This opened the door for three candidates – Lars Johanssn, Mac Carruth and Jake Hildebrand. Carruth is the “veteran” as far as North American hockey is concerned, with 35 career AHL games under his belt over four seasons. Johansson, at age 29, has technically seen more professional hockey time, but this has been overseas in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) where the brand of hockey is different from North American hockey in terms of play style and rink size. Hildebrand is the rookie of the crew, and was recently called up to the AHL from the ECHL when Corey Crawford of the Blackhawks went out unexpectedly with an emergency appendectomy, and has only played a total of 20 professional games, all in the ECHL. After a few weeks, Johansson proved himself as the starting goaltender, and thus far, has played 66 percent of the games for Rockford, and has been pretty solid for the most

part. There are some occasional goals which should have been saved, but Johansson has adapted well to the North American playstyle. Carruth has shown signs of growth over the years, and has confidence has certainly grown since he first few seasons, but there are still some lapses in his game. One thing to remember is Carruth is only 24, and Corey Crawford played five seasons in the AHL before his full-time call up to Chicago. By no means am I saying Carruth is the next Crawford, but making the point that some goaltenders do take time to develop and will take longer than others. Johansson has certainly proven himself as the starter and once he returns from relief duty in the NHL, he will assume the role of starter. The other side is who will go back to the ECHL once he returns? He has only played two periods of one AHL game, but Hildebrand looked good in his time, giving up two goals on 21 shots. At this point, it’s hard to blame the goal-

tending for Rockford’s problems. I would say they are on the low end for the reason Rockford is struggling. I would say the lack of, or consistent scoring along with poor defensive play by forwards and defenseman are what is doing Rockford in, along with second-period play. The second period has not been kind to Rockford as the IceHogs rank last in the league for goal differential in the league. This means the margin between goals for and goals against in the period is the greatest. The AHL doesn’t provide these stats, but coach Ted Dent has said this in a recent interview. It can be attributed to many things, such as the long shift change, but this is one big reason for Rockford sandwich stanza problems. Secondly, Rockford has no proven point scorers on the team, besides from Mark McNeill and Spencer Abbott. The defensemSee HOGS on Page 46
