A former U.S. representative whose lavish Washington office raised questions about use of taxpayer money pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of defrauding the federal government and campaign committees, then trying to cover it up.

Aaron Schock, a 35-year-old former Republican congressman from Illinois, was indicted in November by the U.S. Department of Justice on 24 counts, including wire fraud, theft of government funds and filing false federal income tax returns. He entered his plea in a federal court in Springfield.

“I look forward to the truth and all the facts coming out in this case. I have complete faith in my legal team, the good people of this community, and that justice will ultimately prevail,” Schock said in an emailed statement.

Schock, elected to the, U.S. House of Representatives in 2008 at the age of 27, gained a following by posting flashy photos on social media of himself traveling around the world.

But he was hounded with questions after The Washington Post reported last year about lavish decorations in his Capitol Hill office based on the PBS period melodrama Downton Abbey.

Although staff told the Post that the interior design work had been done for free, the story prompted more investigations into Schock’s spending habits, with several media outlets reporting he failed to disclose some expenditures and had to repay others after improperly using taxpayer funds.

‘One China’ policy not a ‘bargaining chip’

In Brief Former Illinois Congressman pleads not guilty in scandal

Hogs losing slide continues SPORTS Back Cover

The White House on Monday insisted that Washington’s “one China” policy should not be used as a “bargaining chip” with Beijing after President-elect Donald Trump said the United States did not necessarily have to be bound by its long-standing position that Taiwan is part of China.

Signaling further resistance Trump will face in Washington if he tries to overturn a principle that has underpinned more than four decades of U.S.-China relations, Republican U.S. Senator John McCain said he personally backed the “China policy” and no one should “leap to conclusions” that the president-elect would abandon it.

“I do not respond to every comment by the president-elect because it may be reversed the next day,” McCain told Reuters when asked about Trump’s statement in an interview broadcast over the weekend.

Trump set off a diplomatic firestorm when he told Fox News: “I don’t know why we have to be bound by a ‘one China’ policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade.” This followed an earlier protest from China over the Republican president-elect’s decision to accept a telephone call from Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Dec. 2.

The issue is highly sensitive for China, which considers Taiwan a renegade province, and Beijing expressed “serious concern” about Trump’s latest remarks.

Winter Weather

Dangerous lows, snow loom in forecast

Staff Report

Temperatures were expected to hang in the low-teens and single-digits Wednesday through Friday as the Rockford area braces for more snow over the weekend.

“After the first true cold shot of the year this past week, much of the northern Plains can expect a more formidable shot of arctic air again this upcoming week,” AccuWeather meteorologist Max Vido said on the forecasting website.

Northern Illinois hangs on the boundary of areas expected to see below-zero lows over the coming days ahead of another 1-2 inches of snow on Friday.

Morethan2,100flightsweregrounded Sunday and Monday as a winter storm dumped up to 10 inches on snow in places around northern Illinois.

The City of Rockford declared a snow emergency as a result of the weekend storm, leaving citizens who didn’t move their vehicles in accordance with the odd-even parking guidelines $50 fines on their windshields.

Residents who didn’t act quickly enough to clear snow from their own driveways and sidewalks were frozen in their tracks by falling temps Sunday night into Monday morning. The sub-zero overnight conditions are expected to remain in the area through Friday.

“This will be a dangerous, early-season cold with [temperatures near] or

below zero during the day,” Vido said.

Thursday or Friday could see the first subzero conditions to hit the area before New Year’s since 2013, and Thursday could mark the first December day across northern Illinois that temperatures fail to climb out of the single digits since 2008.

“The arctic air, together with brisk

winds, can lead to dangerously cold wind chill values,” warned the National Weather Service in Chicago.

“People exposed to extreme cold are susceptible to frostbite in a matter of minutes.”

While the first wave of the cold-air mass sweeps east out of the region on Friday, it will be replaced with further snowfall and the chance for mixed

precipitation over the weekend as temperatures climb back near the 30s by Saturday.

Accumulations are not expected to be significant, though forecasters are warning of icy conditions on Saturday with warmer temperatures creeping in. But the bitter cold will sweep back through Sunday, with highs expected in the single-digits.

“The snow, ice and gusty winds anticipated this weekend will likely lead to airline delays and potential cancellations in the major hubs from Denver to Chicago and Detroit,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.

Rockton

Battle continues over proposed asphalt plant

By John Guevara Contributor

The Winnebago County Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) last Thursday wrapped up a second day of testimony in a zoning map amendment and special use permit for an asphalt plant from Northern Illinois Services Corporation at its North Main Quarry in Rockton. The application was denied by the Village of Rockton earlier this year.

Former Rockton Village Board member and regional businessman Zachary Baker said he was surprised by the number of phone calls he’s taken on the issue.

Rockton resident, Erin Wodjewodzki, expressed her concern in an open letter to

County Board members and public officials.

“The main reason I am worried is because of my daughter,” she wrote. “All I wanted to do was provide a better life for her and I am very concerned and worried about the negative effects this asphalt plant may have on her life and her health.”

Winnebago County Board member Gary Jury, who represents the 7th District, chairs the county’s Operations and Administrative Committee, has lived by the old William Charles asphalt plant off Nimtz Road for 15 years. He says the plant never hurt property values or his health during that time. He claims an asphalt plant will be a boon to the village.

“It’s about industry and the reducing the

property tax burden on the taxpayers.”

Baker disagrees. “At what point do the aspects of central planning benefit the community?” he asked.

Rockton resident Stephanie Bennington also expressed concern. “Rockton has worked hard to become a town that is now a destination for families,” she said. “We have made a lot of positive changes and provide outdoor events for families that come from all over the stateline to enjoy. I would be heartbroken if this hard work is ignored and becomes a thing of the past.”

County Zoning and Planning officials said that only three of the applicant’s four witnesses have testified so far, saying the

plant is “state of the art” with “all the bells and whistles.”

Winnebago County Board member Jim Webster is the Chairman of the County’s Zoning Committee. Webster said that the zoning committee map amendment would require a 14 vote supermajority to pass because Rockton rejected it. One high ranking Republican Board member said, “It won’t pass because it requires a supermajority.”

The Zoning Board of Appeals will continue hearings on January 17 and 18. Zoning officials estimate a decision will not be made by the ZBA before January 18.

Rockton Mayor Dale Adams could not be reached for comment.

Trump’s Magic Cabinet

‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant nominated to oversee US nuclear program

By Samantha Page

I

ThinkProgress.org

f it were up to Rick Perry, he would be out of a job.

According to multiple reports, the former Texas governor has been asked to head the Department of Energy in the Trump administration — a department Perry has repeatedly said should be eliminated.

“This nomination defies all logic,” House Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr., D-NJ, said in a statement.

“Governor Perry is on the record both forgetting about the Energy Department and then later remembering that he wanted to eliminate it. Governor Perry clearly does not recognize the importance the Energy Department plays in ensuring the safety and security of America’s nuclear arsenal and nuclear power plants.”

The major role of the Energy Department is to oversee the country’s nuclear arsenals. For next year, the department has requested $12.9 billion for the National Nuclear Security Administration.

Another $6.8 billion was requested for “departmental management and performance programs, including environmental cleanup programs to meet the nation’s Manhattan Project and Cold War legacy responsibilities.”

That means that well over half of the agency’s $32.5 billion budget will go to nuclear safety, management, and clean up. As governor and later as a candidate, Perry has been closely tied to a Texas-based radioactive waste disposal company. He was criticized for allowing the company to go forward with plans without a full environmental review.

The current head of the department, Ernest Moniz, is a theoretical physicist. (In contrast, President-elect Donald Trump has said Perry “wears glasses to seem smart.”)

The Energy Department’s transition has been heavily scrutinized after the Trump team requested that the agency provide a list of names of people who worked on climate change issues. The agency is reportedly refus-

ing to provide that list.

Regardless of what the agency actually does, people still hear the word “energy” and think the department deals with oil and gas.

Perry himself is a climate denier (a phrase he finds offensive). He has said that, “calling CO2 a pollutant is doing a disservice the country, and I believe a disservice to the world.” He also believes the science is “not settled” about climate change, and it is too expensive to address it.

He also has major ties to the oil and gas industry — like much of the incoming administration’s cabinet. He sits on the board of Energy Transfer Partners, the company

developing the Dakota Access Pipeline, and during his time in Texas government, the oil and gas industry provided Perry’s biggest campaign contributions.

“Like his new boss, Governor Perry will surely mine his position for as much personal gain as he can find,” said Benjamin Schreiber, the climate and energy director for Friends of the Earth.

One of the more traditionally energy-related issues the department does oversee, though, is research and development.

National labs are incubators for some of the country’s most important research. Sure, they helped improve wind turbine generation, but they also conducted the original research that led to digital optical recording (how DVDs

‘

and CDs are made). At the moment, the national labs are at the forefront of research into how to make a better battery — a critical part of transitioning to better energy use.

The Department of Energy also manages a significant loan program. The DOE loan program has been a striking success under the Obama administration, turning a profit for taxpayers while creating jobs.

Without the Department of Energy’s loan program, there would be no Tesla.

Under the program, the department guarantees a portion of a loan, usually for startup businesses — whether they are small solar businesses or major companies that need financing for a large-scale installation.

Through these loans, DOE incubates new businesses and supports development.

The loan program “literally kick-started the whole utility-scale photovoltaic industry,” Moniz told NPR. Supporters of research and development say that it could help the country win the technology race with India and China —a llowing the United States to profit from the global transition to clean energy. A report released Tuesday emphasized how important continued investment in research and development is for the United States’ position as a global, technological powerhouse.

“The United States is falling behind in the race to capitalize on the burgeoning clean energy market — but the race is not yet lost,” says the report, published by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. The report outlines “five principles for institutional change that should be applied to key federal agencies, especially the U.S. Department of Energy,” including defining technological priorities, focusing on “commercially relevant” research and development, and spurring private investment.

Trump has said that under his administration, the government will stop research on solar, wind, efficiency, batteries, clean cars, and climate science.

Imagining that Trump’s climate-denying, fossil fuel-supporting Energy Secretary will steer U.S. ingenuity towards the clean energy future is a little far-fetched.

Perry’s most recent role was as a dancer/ star on the television show Dancing with the Stars. He was eliminated in the third week of competition.

Governor Perry is on the record both forgetting about the Energy Department and then later remembering that he wanted to eliminate it.’

T

op folks in the governor’s office said they didn’t quite understand last week why the Senate Democrats and House Speaker Michael Madigan’s spokesman were so upset with them about canceling last Thursday’s leaders meeting to discuss ending the long Statehouse impasse and finishing up an incomplete budget.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s chief of staff reached out to Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, last Wednesday to see whether he’d finished up a budget framework. Harris, who Madigan refers to as his “chief budget negotiator,” had reportedly made it clear earlier in the process that he wanted to get input from House Democratic membership before moving forward with any budget proposal. He hadn’t yet been able to do that, which led to the decision by the governor’s office to cancel last Thursday’s meeting.

Trouble is, the press release announcing that cancellation was sent at almost exactly the same time as top Democratic staff were informed of the news. And that led to internal confusion and more than a little anger.

“I’m seriously floored by this,” said one clearly ticked off top Dem involved with the negotiations. “Every time we start to make progress they pull the plug.”

Public comments by Madigan’s spokesman (who is not involved with negotiations) were a bit harsh: “Somehow they had it in their heads that we’re going to take over some executive action [by proposing a full budget]. I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Steve Brown told the Chicago Sun-Times.

But the real reason the Democrats haven’t presented a plan after almost two years of demanding that Rauner propose one is that if they do lay out an actual spending plan, they’d have to essentially reveal the size of the tax hike they’d prefer, which is why Rauner hasn’t done it, either.

It wouldn’t be difficult for the governor to take the Democrats’ spending proposals, subtract out expected state revenues and then label what wasn’t yet funded as “the Democrats’ tax hike plan.” Or, more likely, “the Mike Madigan tax hike plan,” since the Republicans truly relish whacking the unpopular House Speaker.

That may not happen, but the complete lack of trust among Statehouse leaders exacerbated by the governor’s year-round campaign style

pretty much makes that expectation a reality.

After all, I already get more than a dozen e-mails almost every day from the Illinois Republican Party slamming individual House and Senate Democrats for being Madigan’s minions. A “tax hike proposal” from Madigan could exponentially increase those attacks.

Not to mention that the governor’s state party sent a video “tracker” to the Statehouse this month to harass a few politically vulnerable House Democrats. The party posted video of one somewhat embarrassing encounter on YouTube. This stuff is, at the least, inanely juvenile and, at most, darkly autocratic. The governor’s party shouldn’t be paying people to follow opposing party legislators around Springfield with a camera. Period. And it could easily escalate out of control if the other side starts responding in kind.

In the past, the leaders and the governor would all figuratively hold hands and jump off the tax hike cliff together. But, in the past, nobody was blasting out campaign press releases just days after the campaign ended and hounding legislators with video trackers. So, nobody trusts anyone enough to do that now.

And that’s why Senate President John Cullerton went on WTTW’s “Chicago Tonight”

program last week and said, “It’s not a matter of who’s going first,” but then firmly and repeatedly demanded that Rauner had to be the one to go first.

Even so, they actually appear to be making some slow progress behind the scenes.

Despite public comments by Republican leaders that reconstituting the rank and file legislative working groups was a waste of time, a small group planned to meet last Friday with the governor’s people to engage on a workers’ compensation reform plan. Cullerton said earlier in the week that he was confident a deal could be struck, particularly if it focused on weeding out fraud and abuse. Speaker Madigan said after last Tuesday’s meeting that he was willing to negotiate on that topic.

Another small working group was also scheduled to talk about local government consolidation and state mandate relief. Madigan said he was willing to engage on that topic as well. Madigan also said last week he was willing to talk about pension reform, which is another major Rauner demand and for which Cullerton already has a proposal.

They just need to find a way to trust each other enough to make it all happen. Don’t bet on it yet.

Energy & Environment

Our energy reality obscured by boastful headlines

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

T

he recent oil discovery in west Texas, which was considered headline news, is hardly a discovery as the resource has been known to exist for some time and is already being exploited. The news is based on a new statistical estimate on a known oil field by the US Geological Survey and may not live up to its advanced billing.

Assuming the 20 billion barrel estimate proves accurate, Ugo Bardi suggests that potential production be viewed from the perspective of the global oil situation. Using data from Bloomberg News he reminds us that the world currently consumes 33 billion barrels of oil per year. The new 20 billion barrels would supply seven months worth of global

oil demand. Consumption has exceeded new discoveries over the last decade.

Bardi reminds us that the costs of drilling and extracting the oil adds an economic perspective which, if included in the headlines would take much of the rosy glow off the estimate.

Bloomberg determined the oil’s value at $900 billion; Art Berman removes the glow from that figure as he calculates that extracting the oil would result in a loss of $500 billion at current dollar value. Oil prices will have to rise dramatically in order to bring it into the marketplace.

Beyond the economic estimates of the oil‘s worth is the impact of the headlines on the public’s mind. The 20 billion barrel estimate is an impressive amount likely to remain a vivid image. Since the American public is often portrayed as not bothering to read, the refrain that there is plenty of oil if we weren’t prevented from

drilling for it will remain a rallying cry. Ignored in such glowing estimates is the increasing amount of energy used in securing the oil and the increasing environmental costs in terms of air and water pollution. While environmental degradation associated with securing more oil is real oil advocates continue to condemn government regulations as unnecessary and too costly.

Another restraint not mentioned is where the water will come from to use fracking for oil.

Texas has reoccurring severe droughts; water tables continue to drop as a common response to drought is to secure ground water sources.

In an article addressing water issues in Texas, Samantha Fox points out that 60 percent of the state’s water needs are supplied by groundwater sources which has contributed to land subsidence and property damage. Homeowners, farmers, industries and water providers are often at

odds over who gets to use how much water.

Texas has multiple groundwater districts that collect water use data used by the state to develop databases and computer models of available groundwater. While the state requires permits to secure water supplies officials are reluctant to enforce limits on water consumption. A continuing debate exists in Texas law regarding whether limits on consumption of groundwater is equivalent to a regulatory taking of private property rights.

Whether producing oil or gas, water is a serious issue. An overlooked asset of renewable energy sources is that they consume very little water.

The key question is whether the alleged bonanza will ever be worth enough to justify drilling for it.

The 12 scams of Christmas: a BBB warning for the holidays

By Dennis Horton Contributor

T

here are scams for all seasons including Christmas; yes, Virginia…there are people who target consumers with holiday-themed scams. This is a joyous time of the year but, when desperation sets in, shoppers can easily mistake a phony e-card or fake charity for the real thing.

When consumers let their guard down they become the perfect target for fly-bynight Internet merchants, phishers and charitable imposters; and each year at Christmas they lose millions of dollars to scam artist who rip them off.”

Here’s the scammer’s naughty list for 2016: Secret Sister Exchange: A social media scam that claims if you buy a $10 gift and send it to a “secret sister,” you will receive anywhere from six to 36 in return. This is a variation on “pyramid schemes” and it’s illegal.

Help Scams: Calls to unsuspecting relatives or friends from imposters who claim to be a grandchild, niece, nephew or friend, who is traveling, and they need emergency financial help to cover medical or legal expenses.

Seasonal Travel Scams: Whether it’s a promise of a free or discounted trip, phony rental listings, or con men telling timeshare sellers they’ve got a buyer lined up, scammers are working to rip you off. Check out any offers of great travel deals.

Point-of-sale Malware: is malicious software expressly written to steal customer payment data – especially credit card data – from retail checkout systems. Check your credit card statements to make sure you don’t have unwanted charges as a result of a point-

of-sale breach of your credit security.

Phony charities: ‘Tis the season to donate, but be wary of fake charities. Do your research and double check the site URL. Check out charities at http://ask.bbb.org/.

Fake coupons: Avoid the unwanted gift of malware and always verify that e-cards or coupons are from someone you know and are from a trustworthy site.

Fake shipping notifications: Think twice before clicking links in shipping notification emails. Always verify the shipping company before giving out your personal information.

ATM Skimmers: The typical ATM skimmer is a device smaller than a deck of cards that fits over the existing card reader. It is essentially a malicious card reader that grabs the data off the card’s magnetic stripe so that the thief can harvest data from every person that swipes their cards.

Fake Romance: Scammers create fake online profiles using photos of other people — even stolen pictures of real military personnel. They profess their love quickly. And they tug at your heartstrings with made-up stories about how they need money — for emergencies, hospital bills, or travel.

Fake Apps/phony e-tailers: Today, smartphones act not only as a phone but also a credit card, house key, camera and more.

Malware can access your device via apps. Do your research and stick to official app stores when downloading.

Free gift cards: Pop-up ads or emails offering free gift cards are often just a ploy to get your personal information that can later be used for identity theft.

Phishing emails: Be wary unexpected

deals or product promotions from stores or sellers you have never dealt with. There will be people trying to take advantage of buyers where the victim could be subject to phishing tactics or just stolen money for an order that will never come in.

VOICES OF THE

COMMUNITY Brewhouse celebrated in Landmark Ornament Collection

From its humble beginnings in 1847, the brewery built by Johnathan Peacock expanded into the imposing brewhouse building along Rockford’s historic industrial riverfront. After years of abandonment, Lloyd and Diane Koch acquired the building and spearheaded the development of the the Prairie Street Brewhouse, a mixed use complex that has become a true Rockford Landmark.

The historic Prairie Street Brewhouse has been selected as J.R. Kortman Center for Design’s ornament for 2016 in the Rockford Landmark Ornament Collection.

“When you combine its long downtown history along the Rock River with it’s contemporary use as an extremely popular gathering and event space, the Prairie Street Brewhouse is one of Rockford’s grandest landmarks,” says Doc Slafkosky, co-owner of J. R. Kortman. “It’s not only historic architecturally, but it has a special place in a lot people’s hearts, since the Brewhouse hosts weddings, grand parties, and other significant community events.”

The original image for the Brewhouse ornament was a painting created by Rockford artist Jeanne Ludeke.

“We took that image to Beijing where the artist who handpaints each ornament was able to transpose Jeanne’s painting on the inside of a clear ornament sphere, utilizing an ancient Chinese folk art technique” said co-owner Jerry Kortman. “It’s fascinating to see how our artist communicated visually with the Chinese artist through the language of art.”

The ornament features not only an image of the Brewhouse building, but also the Prairie Street Brewhouse “peacock” logo is painted on the back.

For more than 18 years J. R. Kortman Center for Design has been featuring hand-painted ornaments depicting Rockford landmarks sold year round at the downtown Rockford concept store

and gallery.

The Brewhouse ornament is not only available at J. R. Kortman, 107 North Main Street, but can also be purchased at the Prairie Street Brewhouse, 200 Prairie Street.

Besides the Brewhouse, the Rockford Landmark Ornament Collection includes East and West High Schools, St. Anthony Church, Blackhawk Statue, “Symbol” sculpture, two views of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Laurent House, a special edition of Memorial Hall, and the North Main Street Armory.

Other ornaments available in the Landmark Collection include, the Beattie Park Gazebo, Sinnissippi Lagoon, the Faust Landmark Building, Coronado, and Midway Theater Buildings, the Woodward Governor building, and the Sinnissippi Burr Oak Tree. Over the past 15 years the “Symbol” ornament has been the best selling ornament in the collection.

“Other top sellers include four ornaments depicting different scenes of the beautiful Anderson Japanese Gardens and Nicholas Conservatory,” says Slafkosky.

In addition to the Swedish Historical Society’s “Erlander Home,” other historic houses in the collection include the “Limestone Mansion,” home to the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois, and the “Cobblestone House,” located at 2127 Broadway, one of Rockford’s oldest houses.

All the Landmark ornament images are individually hand-painted on the inside of a glass sphere, utilizing an ancient Chinese technique originally applied to “snuff ” bottles. Each collectable ornament is a miniature work of art.

RAAC accepting registrations for winter program

The Rockford Area Arts Council (RAAC) is offering “ArtsPlace Winter Intensive” for youth ages 14-18.

It will be held January 2-6, 1-4 p.m. at Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center (450 N. Main) and Rockford Dance Company (711 N. Main).

The Winter Intensive is modeled after RAAC’s longer summer ArtsPlace Apprenticeship program in which youth work on teams under the guidance of professional artists to create original works.

The idea for the Winter

Intensive came from a former ArtsPlace apprentice, Duncan Richardson, who did an internship in Kurdistan last year teaching photography to high school students. Sharon Nesbit-Davis, Interim Director of the Rockford Area Arts Council said, “When ArtsPlace kids come to me with a proposal, I’m inclined to say “YES”…if we can figure out how to do it.

JPAC celebrates local talent in January

The Janesville Performing Arts Center (JPAC) is excited to announce the return of Local Talent Month taking place the entire month of January. Local Talent Month at JPAC was created to celebrate all of the amazing local talents within Janesville and the surrounding communities.

The month kicks off with a staged reading of Atlas Pit by former native Janesville resident Alex Burkart. This staged reading contains strong language and adult situations, is $10 per ticket, and will be performed January 6 & 7 at 7:30 p.m. and January 8 at 2 p.m. The month continues with the Zac Matthews Band taking the stage on Friday, January 13 at 7:30 p.m. In 2014 Zac Matthews was named Best New Male Act in Country Music in Nashville’s Country Showdown.

On Sunday, January 15 at 2 p.m., the Turtle Creek Chamber Orchestra will perform the joys of classical, contemporary and POP music sure to

appeal to every taste. Then, on Friday, January 20 at 7:30 p.m. the GoDeans take the JPAC stage. The GoDeans are a Janesville-based rock band that includes Dr. Mitch Kopnick, Dr. Bill Clanfield, Dr. Mark McDade, Dr. Tim Axe, Dave Booth, Joan Neeno, Kalynn Baumann and Kim White. Offering some family entertainment, JPAC continues the month with the Susan Picking Sing-a-long, a part of JPAC’s Culver’s Family Series on Saturday, January 21 at 2 p.m. Susan Picking is a piano playing, ukulele strumming, and award winning singer/songwriter who has toured the United States and internationally with her message driven songs.

This beautiful film is composed by local Janesville resident Matthew Hollingsworth. Matthew will offer a brief talkback after the screening of the film.

JPAC’s Local Talent month concludes with the second annual Folk at 408

event on Saturday, January 28 at 7 p.m.

Folk at 408 will showcase Wisconsin’s singer/songwriter community of musicians including Whitney Mann, Lost Lakes, Hayward Williams, Paul Otteson, Simon Balto, Listening Party and Seasaw. Money raised from this event will give community members in the area who are financially less fortunate a chance to experience all that the arts have to offer through the “Arts for Everyone” scholarship program.

The Janesville Performing Arts Center serves the greater Rock County area through performances and events produced by 15 local non-profit arts groups.

How can Comcast finally go about rectifying Rectify?

By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

I

’m not going to lie. I’ve been a Comcast cable subscriber for a long time. The service is usually good, but the rates keep skyrocketing. (A big reason for that? The exorbitant licensing fees they have to pay to air sporting events, which really irks me since I never watch sports. I keep asking them to develop a sports-free package, but for some reason they never seem to listen.)

One of the things included in my cable bill is On Demand. I love being able to catch up on shows I missed or didn’t think to record. I also pay for HD service. Not all channels are available in both standard definition and high definition, but Comcast’s On Demand service includes HD versions of some channels we don’t get in HD here in Rockford. Including

Sundance TV. One of my favorite series happens to be Sundance’s slow-burning drama “Rectify” – which airs its series finale December 14. Since everything looks short and squat when you switch from HD to standard def, I’ve always waited a day and watched Rectify On Demand in HD. Funny thing. Episode 6, which originally aired November 30, still hasn’t turned up On Demand. Episode 7 is there, but not 6. And this is a serialized drama, so watching episode 7 without seeing 6 would be pointless.

Another funny thing; it’s next to impossible to find local phone numbers for any Comcast offices. Their toll-free customer service number is a black hole in which one could be lost several hours without ever reaching a human being.

That’s why I tweeted Comcast last week to ask when Episode 6 would be available. They told

Salvage Too

Rockford Re-Use Center

salvagetoo.com

Reclaimed Building Materials •Countertops •Lumber •Windows •Bathroom Fixtures

•Flooring •Cabinetry •Aged Wood •Doors & more

me Sundance hadn’t yet “released it for On Demand.” Right.

I asked a PR contact at Sundance about it, and she passed my inquiry along to a colleague who could try to figure out what was going on.

She said told their “alt platform team” told her the HD version of Rectify should be in Sundance’s video-on-demand folder on Comcast.

I direct Tweeted that bit of information to Comcast along with a photo of my TV screen showing episodes 402HD, 403HD, 404HD, 405HD and 407HD, but no 406HD. Comcast’s reply said they’d “reached out” to their On Demand team about the missing episode and would provide an update when they hear back.

That was December 10.

I just checked On Demand and the episode still isn’t there. Could I watch it online? Maybe, but why watch on my tiny computer monitor or an iPad when I should be able to sit in a comfy chair with two dogs on my lap and watch it on my actual TV using a service I pay for?

This morning I nudged Comcast again – saying I knew what this week’s column would

cover – and was told they will let me know as soon as they know when it will be available.

If anyone from our local Comcast office is reading this: That call you got from Sundance on Tuesday morning was directly related to this complaint.

Rectify airs its final episode this week, and because of Comcast’s little glitch – and inability to correct it in a timely manner – it doesn’t look as if I’ll be able to view the series finale anytime soon. I’ll be actively dodging Rectify spoilers until you finally add 406HD to On Demand.

(No matter how long that takes episodes 407HD and 408HD had both better still be available after I watch 406HD.) I hope Daniel, Amantha, Janet, Ted, Teddy, Tawney, and Jared all find some sort of peace, regardless of what form it may take.

I also hope the final season of the show and its astoundingly talented cast – especially Aden Young, Abigail Spencer, J. Smith-Cameron, Clayne Crawford, Adelaide Clemmons, and Bruce McKinnon – are not overlooked by Emmy voters as they’ve been in previous seasons.

Office Christmas Party a humorous, entertaining watch

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

A

fter the disappointment that was Bad Santa 2, Office Christmas Party looks to bring some laughs accompanied with the Christmas cheer.

The initial trailer didn’t do much for me and I entered the cinema with trepidation and skepticism. It looked dumb and puerile which although it is to an extent, it’s also a decent comedy.

Christmas is fast approaching but there’s trouble on the horizon for tech company Zenotek. After failing to meet its quarterly quota, Carol Vanstone (Jennifer Anniston) intermediate CEO threatens to lay off 40 percent of the staff. While two employees look to snare the deal that will save the company, Carol’s brother and branch manager Clay (T.J. Miller) arranges a wild Christmas party to lift everyone’s spirits, much to his sister’s protestations. With escorts, cocaine and overzealous HR thrown into the mix, what could possibly go wrong?

Office Christmas Party isn’t a laugh a minute riot, but it’s a humorous romp that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The ensemble cast includes Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn and Kate McKinnon with the latter in typical show stealing form as the uptight head of HR. The gags are silly and at times

crude however the film is fairly inoffensive despite the adult humor on display.

The plot, backdrop to the jokes for the most part, is pushed to the forefront when the party leaves the office in the third act.

The pace slows down around here with the schmaltz turned up to 11 as we hurtle towards what looks to be a super happy ending. But, it is a Christmas film at the end of the day so it can be forgiven for laying the syrupy sentimentality on thick.

It’s unlikely to become a holiday classic but it serves its purpose. There’s a definitive festive feel to proceedings with Bateman on fine straight man form with his deadpan expressions. The cast have a great chemistry with directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon ensuring no one is lost in the mix.

At times Office Christmas Party feels like a really long episode of a sitcom. This isn’t detrimental to the film’s enjoyment but it lacks the cinematic quality to make it truly memorable. It will offer amusement and has enough warmth to make you care about the characters. While it may lack any significant depth, Office Christmas Party offers amusing lines and provides enough festive warmth to deliver an entertaining watch.

He’s older, he’s Jewish, he’s an immigrant from Eastern Europe, he wears a beard, her family (except for Aunt Lottie) hates him.

Your Horoscope

By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: Mercury retrograde begins December 19 and completes its cycle January 8, 2017. You all know the drill by now. Back up your computers, set money aside for a possible broken appliance, be careful driving, double check messages and emails. However, this astrological climate doesn’t necessarily have to be a negative one. Mercury retrograde can assist stagnant aspects and allow them to move forward when all else fails. Embrace the challenges, and prepare yourself for the New Year, it’s going to be a great one. Enjoy!

Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Take some time off of work during this lunar cycle. You will be overwhelmed with new business opportunities soon enough, so reserve your strength for these upcoming events. A friend or family member from the past may be dominating your thoughts right now. Pick up the phone and make a connection. You will be pleased with the results, Aries.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)­— Legal documents and paperwork provide you with excellent results this week. Finances improve and your long-term goals are beginning to materialize. Shifts and changes with home and property have you on top of the world.

This is a wonderful time to celebrate your hard work and energy. Expect this activity to move quickly; be prepared for hard work with big payoffs, Taurus.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A friend or family member may have an emotional outburst that is difficult to understand during this lunar cycle. The best thing you can do is take a deep breath and ask them what you can do to help them. Even though they may not want a solution, offer one anyway. You’re on top of your game this week with personal and professional aspects; all is aligning in your favor, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — Yikes, you really need to watch your back with the people you’ve been surrounding yourself with recently. You may find that you are becoming the reason they are not succeeding in the world. Of course this is a ridiculous notion, but in their mind’s eye it needs to be true because they can’t take responsibility for their own actions. Align yourself with those of like mind and spirit; walk wide of the sad sacks in your path, Cancer.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — Opportunities for a career advancement will be arriving shortly, so make sure you’re on top of your game. Get plenty of rest, replace your wardrobe, and a trip to the salon should be a priority. You’ll find that 2017 holds a tremendous amount of promise for you if

you’re willing to be open and receptive to it. Keep negative outside influences at arm’s length, Leo Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — If you want to get to the bottom of a problem, try not to go at another with a hatchet. No one responds well to intimidation techniques, they will only learn to evade and avoid you entirely. If this isn’t ringing a bell, it’s possible you’re on the other end of this type of energy.

If that’s the case close it off completely. You have plenty of people that you enjoy exchanging energy with. Stick with those that lift you up in life, Virgo.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — It may be difficult to keep your head above water this week emotionally. You’re processing so much that even the simplest mundane tasks could be difficult. Take time to rejuvenate yourself or indulge in one of your own simple pleasures in life. A client or coworker will show you unconditional love. Take it wherever you can get it, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — Romantic aspects are favorable at this time. Allow yourself time for these simple displays of affection. As the month rolls on you will be caught up in a very hectic schedule. This will become a highly charged productive time frame for you. At last you can see a clear path with your long-term goals, Scorpio.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — This week starts out with a bang. Social commitments and a busy workload may not seem

to leave room for personal goals or hobbies.

With that said; plan your days accordingly to balance your lifestyle. It can be done, there just won’t be any time allowed for laziness.

Your physical appearance is changing for the better; all eyes are on you, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — This is a great time to focus on your health. Diet and exercise shifts your energy into high gear. This will create an incentive that you have been craving recently. Invite friends or family for an impromptu gathering at week’s end; you deserve a break at this time, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — Be cautious not to judge another too harshly early on this week. Be gentle with those who do not appear to be themselves at this time. A traumatic aspect is affecting someone close to you; it may take more than a little coaxing to get this all out in the open. Once it does, you will know exactly how to handle this aspect effectively, Aquarius.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — This week calls for a time of celebration. You have accomplished so many overwhelming tasks and now you are able to kick back and relax for a bit. That annoying edgy feeling has finally flown the coop. Friends and family seem to be back to their normal selves.

Laughter is the best medicine, Pisces.

Voices from the Grave

History of giving: Rockford’s first Christmas tree

By Kathi Kresol Contributor

T

he lighting of the Christmas tree during Stroll on State is the official start to Rockford’s Holiday Season.

This event brings the holidays to life for thousands through displays of lights, good food, and markets to shop. Entire families brave all kinds of weather to see the lighting of the tree and share in the celebration.

This is a contrast to celebrations of the holidays in Rockford’s past. According to an article from 1942 in the Register Republic, Rockford did not celebrate the holidays during the early days. The article quoted Miss Mary Bigelow who was the head of the Rockford Public Library during the time. She stated that “it was due to the fact that during that era most Rockford residents were from New England where the Christmas celebrations were regarded with suspicion.”

Further research produced an article from the Morning Star dated December 24, 1911 that explained Miss Bigelow’s comment. It stated that while some Rockford citizens were of Puritan ancestors and did not believe in reveling the day, there were many of German stock that delighted in celebrating in the tradition of their homeland.

The article continues with a description of the first Christmas tree that was

Local History

Rockford’s founding years

E

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

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

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

This week, we look back on the period that saw Rockford and the surrounding areas as the original setting of the outlaw era of the Old West.

in the home of Rev. Augustus H. Conant who was the pastor of the Unitarian Church from 1857 to 1861. The Reverend used the tree in his home to “bestow happiness” in the families whose children attended the church. It was decorated with handmade ornaments of transparent bags filled with candy and fruit donated by the ladies of the church. The tree also included strings of popcorn and cranberries and was light by small candles. The families all donated gifts for the children that included dolls, sleds, skates, mittens and scarfs. The article mentioned that during this simpler time the gifts that were chosen gave the receiver comfort during the long days of winter.

The families of the church gathered in the little home on the corner of Green and Church Streets for the festivities. The families all brought dishes of food to pass and the anticipation of the children grew as they awaited the arrival of Santa Claus. The jolly old elf finally made his appearance to hand out the gifts to the children saving the fruits and candies for last. The popcorn though used as a decoration was also devoured.

Rev. Conant served his congregation until 1861 when the call came for men to join the fight for the Civil War. He became the Chaplain for the 19th Illinois Infantry Volunteers.

Rev. Conant died of pneumonia brought on by exposure and exhaustion on February 8, 1863 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The first public tree in Rockford came in 1913. It was displayed in front of a community center organized by the Rockford Woman’s Club called the Montague House.

The Rockford Woman’s Club was granted permission by the Rockford Park District Board to use a house on Rockford’s south side. The house was sold in 1957 and is now used for the Zion Baptist Church at 604 Salter Avenue.

The center opened in 1913 and offered activities to immigrant families that were settling in Rockford. These activities varied through the years but included sports, music and art classes and educational programs.

The ethnic groups included Italians, Lithuanians, Greek , Germans, Irish, Jewish, Swedish, Poles and African Americans.

L.W. Thompson was in charge of the Montague House in 1913. He really wanted to make Christmas a community event and came up with the idea of a Christmas tree display. Thompson approached several organizations to assist with the project. He contacted the Rockford Electric Company to donate the lighting of the tree and the women from the Rockford Woman’s Club helped gathered funds for presents for the children.

Soon everything was in place except for the tree itself. Everyone involved must have begun to panic when there was no offer for a tree. Finally, at the last minute on December 20, Mr. John Andrews offered a 20-foot tree from his house on School Street.

The tree was moved on a wagon to its new home where it took “10 men and about 100 willing youngsters” to hoist the tree into place. The Register Gazette article from the day stated “A Christmas spirit is enveloping all of Rockford.”

Over 1,000 people crowded the area to help celebrate with the families of the Montague House. There was a choir that sang Christmas songs as the tree was lit for the first time. A cheer went up from the crowd that could be heard over most of the downtown area.

It was in the vision of people such as August Conant, the Rockford Woman’s Club, and L.W. Thompson that helped start the Rockford tradition of celebrating this time of year as a community. The article from 1911 captures the thought elegantly, “the fruits of love whose seeds were sown through the influence of the tree and in many thoughtful acts have been blossoming and maturing seeds for the bettering of children and for all mankind through the years.”

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

Since it is winter, this is the perfect time to research new crops you might decide to grow this next season. Hops are one that many growers – both established and new – are considering. If you are unfamiliar with hops, it is a perennial plant that sends up annual bines with cones on them. The cones, which look like green pine cones, are used in the beer brewing process. Growers in our area sell to microbreweries and home brewer groups.

Unlike growing mixed vegetables or fruit trees, a hop yard can be an investment.

Much of this is due to the cost of a trellising systems, usually telephone poles with wire.

Drip irrigation is a common setup as well along with labor. At less than 5 acres, you would still be harvesting most of these bines by hand as picker equipment can be expensive. That being said, most hop plants will produce for up to 20 years.

A typical growing season begins in the spring once you have planted the hops rhizome. Once bines are produced in May, you want to pick out 2-4 of the most vigorous ones to train on the trellis. Other bines not trained will be removed. The growing season ends

Get hopping with hops around August when the cones are produced.

Adequate yields occur around year-three as the first two years are focused on growing the rhizome. Cones will be ready to harvest when they have noticeable yellow powder, a “hoppy” smell, and squishy when you feel the cones. Once cones are picked, they can be used as fresh or dried. These are then considered whole cones compared to the pelletized version. The bines are cut down to be harvested or staggered picking.

When deciding on a variety, you need to consider the alpha and beta acids as these are the main differences in the variety and will determine their use in different beer recipes. Unlike vegetable varieties you can tell difference in color or shape, all hop plants and cones look the same.

Cascade, Nugget, and Centennial remain popular in the area. Many Midwestern universities are conducting research on the best varieties for our region. Avoid many of the recommended varieties coming from the Pacific Northwest as these varieties have adapted to very different growing conditions.

Next week I’ll continue discussing other facets of hops production.

Nitrogen’s impact on the 2016 corn crop

By Lauren Quinn U of I News Bureau

URBANA – The 2016 cropping season was a good one for corn in Illinois, according to University of Illinois crop scientist Emerson Nafziger.

“Planting was on time into good soil conditions, and crop development proceeded with little stress, though June was warm and dry in most areas. The current prediction is for statewide corn yield to be 202 bushels per acre, edging out the previous record of 200 bushels set in 2014,” Nafziger says.

Soil temperature and moisture conditions in May and June were favorable for mineralization, or the release of nitrogen from soil organic matter. This increased the amount of plant-available nitrogen in the soil during vegetative growth in 2016.

With a good nitrogen supply and plenty of sunshine, corn plants in most fields were dark

green and growing rapidly by late May and early June. Even strips in trials that received little or no nitrogen fertilizer stayed green into the middle of June, much later than normal.

The benefits of this good supply of nitrogen carried through the season, and meant that the crop needed less fertilizer nitrogen than normal.

“Across 26 on-farm nitrogen rate trials, yields averaged 225 bushels per acre at an average nitrogen rate of only 150 pounds of nitrogen per acre. That is more yield with less nitrogen than we saw in 2015, when June was wet,” Nafziger notes.

Not only did relatively low nitrogen rates produce high yields in 2016, but timing and form of nitrogen made less difference in yield than usual. Ammonium is stable in the soil, while nitrate can move with water through the soil. If most of the nitrogen is nitrate and heavy rain falls, nitrogen loss can be substantial. That

didn’t happen in 2016, mostly because of dry June conditions.

Nafziger and his colleagues also studied nitrogen application timing in 2016, and found that timing made almost no difference in how corn responded to nitrogen rate. In particular, late-split nitrogen, in which application is split between planting and tasseling time, produced no more yield than when all of the nitrogen was applied at planting. With no additional yield to cover the cost of the late application, late application reduced net income.

“We saw nitrogen at its best in 2016,” Nafziger

says. “It was present when the crop needed it, and the supply of nitrogen from soil organic matter, along with little loss, meant that the crop needed less fertilizer than usual, even though uptake and yield were high. We can’t depend on this to happen every year, of course, but the common idea that ‘high yields require high fertilizer nitrogen rates’ clearly did not hold true in 2016. This should increase our confidence, especially in years with dry springs, that nitrogen applied at normal rates will meet the needs of the crop without our needing to pour on more nitrogen to reach high yields.”

Healthcare

When nausea from pregnancy is life-threatening

By Dr. Marlena Fejzo The Conversation

M

ost women experience some type of morning sickness during pregnancy, but some women develop a far more serious condition.

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), which causes severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, affects as many as 3 percent of pregnancies, leading to over 167,000 emergency department visits each year in the U.S. Until intravenous hydration was introduced in the 1950s, it was the leading cause of maternal death. Now, it is the second leading cause, after preterm labor, of hospitalization during pregnancy.

And yet, the disease is neither well-understood nor well-known, even with the flurry of headlines when it was announced that the Duchess of Cambridge during her pregnancies suffered from the condition.

I decided to start researching HG in 1999 after losing a baby at 15 weeks of gestation due to constant violent vomiting. I found that there was surprisingly little research on this disease.

To date, I’ve been contacted by over 4,400 pregnant women worldwide and have collected extensive survey data and saliva samples from women with HG and their unaffected friends. Analysis of these data has enabled me to answer some of the most pressing questions about the disease.

How is this different from morning sickness?

Even though HG is prevalent, many women don’t know about it until they experience it themselves. Symptoms can include extreme nausea and vomiting, as well as rapid weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, dizziness and excessive saliva. Some women may start to vomit blood or bile and may require intravenous fluids and medication.

Some of the women I have encountered in my research on HG experience vomiting so violent that their retinas have detached, their ribs have fractured, their eardrums have burst, their esophagi have torn, their fingernails have fallen off and in rare cases, they can suffer from brain damage from malnutrition.

HG cannot be controlled by small frequent meals and saltine crackers – common recommendations for women with morning sickness. HG can also last for much longer than morning sickness.

The old wives’ tale that the baby gets everything it needs from the mother even if she is unable to eat or drink or take vitamins is false.

Population studies of neural tube defects and animal studies, as well as studies of human offspring born during famine, in

addition to those exposed to HG, now prove that malnutrition in early pregnancy can be linked to long-term health consequences in the exposed fetus.

Children exposed to HG in utero have a three-fold increased risk of neurodevelopmental delay. Research shows early symptoms of HG were linked to delay, which suggests early vitamin and nutrient deficiencies may be at play.

For women with HG there is a four-fold increased risk of adverse outcomes, such as preterm birth, and a 3.6-fold increased lifetime risk of emotional disorders, such as depression and anxiety.

The effects of HG can last long after birth.

In one survey we found a significant increased risk of chronic postpartum symptoms in women with HG including reflux, anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue and muscle pain, and 18 percent experienced the full criteria of post-traumatic stress symptoms.

And HG can also lead to Wernicke’s Encephalopathy (WE), a severe neurological condition caused by a deficiency in thiamin (vitamin B1). Over a dozen cases were published in the medical literature between 20122014, and recently maternal deaths caused by complications from HG including Wernicke’s Encephalopathy have been documented in the U.S., England and Africa.

In a survey of over 800 women with HG, more than one in seven women with HG decided to terminate the pregnancy, primarily because they had no hope for relief from the condition.

How is HG treated?

Accurate data about what drugs can treat HG effectively and safely are hard to come by. This is due, in part, to the thalidomide disaster of the 1950s, when the drug was prescribed to women with HG to relieve symptoms of nausea and babies were born with limb deformities. This led to difficulty in developing and testing medications on pregnant women.

So what do the limited available data say?

A study I conducted with colleagues found that antihistamine use to treat HG has been linked to preterm birth. We also found that Ondansetron (Zofran) is effective in treating HG symptoms for more than 50 percent of the women in our studies. We have also found that potentially serious side effects in women taking the drug, such as intestinal obstructions, are rare. In recent research, we found no evidence to support a link between ondansetron and birth defects.

But we do know this: Women with HG who are losing weight in pregnancy, and are unable to tolerate food or vitamins for more

than a week, should be treated not only with fluids but also with thiamin to avoid the rare but preventable progression to WE, as well as maternal or fetal death.

Caretakers, family members and patients themselves may lean toward termination of a wanted pregnancy rather than try a medication of unknown safety. So for women with HG, seeking treatment can be a fraught experience.

A centralized, national database to document cases of HG, treatments and medications and their effectiveness, and maternal and child outcomes could help us figure out which medications are safe and effective in treating HG. This would increase patient and provider confidence about using treatments during pregnancy. It would also reduce the risk of malpractice or class action suits, which make drug companies and doctors hesitant to test and prescribe new treatments.

We need to know what causes HG to treat it

Years of research, primarily focusing on hormones, have failed to identify what causes HG, and consequently, a clinically proven safe and effective treatment has yet to be found.

Currently, the leading hypothesis is that pregnancy hormones cause nausea and vomiting, and genetic and environmental factors that influence susceptibility to nausea and vomiting may turn normal pregnancy nausea into hyperemesis.

Increasing evidence suggests a genetic component to HG. If a woman has HG during one pregnancy there is about an 80 percent risk of recurrence in a subsequent pregnancy. The risk of recurrence is not affected by change in partner or psychiatric factors. The greatest risk factor for HG

(besides having a previous HG pregnancy) is having a sister with HG, which constitutes a 17-fold increased risk.

A common misconception is that if a woman is the only one in her family with HG, it is not genetic. However, our research suggests the gene or genes responsible are equally likely to be passed from the paternal line as the maternal line. In a recent study of five families with a history of HG, we found a gene that signals vomiting in two of them. In addition, HG may be caused by a combination of several genes. A woman with HG may be the only one in her family with a pregnancy history that carries a particular combination of predisposing genes.

Once we identify the genetic and associated biological causes of HG, further research will likely help us develop therapies that target these causes of the condition, rather than blindly and rather ineffectively treating symptoms.

NFL

Self-inflicted wounds define latest Bears loss

By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

T

o many, the Chicago Bears are only living up to an ideal of the disappointment they’ve become, as they hope to leave the 2016 season behind in a lackluster heap that’s blown away in the wind. There isn’t much reason to believe in a team well out of the playoff race, as player development and these final battles can’t captivate everyone. This is what years of pent-up frustration will do to a crowd desperate for any semblance of hope. Pessimism is ingrained in the mind. The Bears have the overall most wins in NFL history, but they haven’t done much to consistently add to that mark in awhile.

Everything is meaningless, right? Woe is everyone.

Others will want their time validated when they tune in on Sunday afternoons. That’s fair and balanced. You’re only guaranteed four months of your team’s football every season, well, unless you enjoy August and the preseason, (more power to you). If the Bears aren’t making any competitive noise, at least they aren’t waving the white flag to where fans are objectively upset in their lack of effort. With a thorough enough search – grab a spotlight - assume they’ll find some reason, any reason, to believe in a vivid future. Of course, while disregarding that this has become an all too common exercise by the end of each year for an increasingly exasperated fan base.

Ultimately, that’s what 2016 has been for the Bears.

A tug-and-pull of among the fan base, the organization, and those who cover this currently hapless, but ultimately growing team. That’s how it’s been for largely the last eight weeks or so.

Moral victories abound. Momentum, whether it does mean something – or however it’s defined the referendum on sale.

A 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions, one filled with positivity, but in the end – regret – was every bit a team still searching for it’s own identity. Still believing in a greater purpose and whether this will lead to the top of the mountain. A team missing more than half of its starters trying to understand what there is to build on even if there won’t be much relevant winter football for now.

Guys with more pull in the organization believe the search for that identity.

“It’s in our hands at this point, you know what I mean? We have to finish together,” said Bears defensive tackle Akiem Hicks.

Hicks is a guy has turned himself a leader with his play this season, so his thought process more than likely reflects the group. You have to wonder where this path does take the Bears though. Finishing together for the sake of finishing is one thing. Actually succeeding with wins

is another. Chicago doesn’t do that.

They find ways to lose, essentially what 3-10 teams do. They make mistakes and take penalties – 11 for 139 yards – at the most inopportune times. A bounce from cohesion to disorganization. Head coach John Fox’s Bears haven’t improved much in this regard.

Sure, criticize a first place Lions team for not blowing their competition out of the water.

There aren’t many advanced statistical marks to refer to what they do well on either side of the ball. The Lions weren’t supposed to be here. Preseason prognosticators that are always correct didn’t see this jump coming, and for good reason.

Yet, Detroit has eight wins in the fourth quarter this season, a clutch and impressive mark.

They’re currently the NFC’s number two seed and are in line for a first-round bye should they take care of business down the stretch.

Exactly how did these cardiac cats get here?

Save for untimely interceptions thrown by their quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Bears (over half of his seven picks have now come at Chicago’s hand), they don’t turn the ball over, as the Lions have just 10 giveaways all season – tied for second least in the NFL. And they don’t make mistakes in crunch time. They take advantage of what the opposition gives them. When the Bears reward Detroit as they did with timely holding penalties, the Lions don’t go blank. They cash in with a score or get off the field as a defense. Yes, the Lions aren’t a juggernaut, but they’re opportunistic, the mark of a team ready for the postseason.

Winning ugly is still winning. A lesson these Bears will hope to learn beyond trying hard as a team comprised of cast-offs and fringe roster players presently. They’re merely doing what they’re capable as Fox would agree.

“Our guys compete their tails off – that’s not our issue – it’s doing the necessary things to win,” said Fox. Asking more in competing is irresponsible.

But even while the talent for Chicago is significantly improving, results are always the bottom line. Feel free to count on youth such as Leonard Floyd, Cody Whitehair, and Jordan Howard. It’s safe to throw in Eddie Goldman there too. Guys like Nick Kwiatkoski and Bryce Callahan are also potential chess pieces, etc.

The roster coming together slowly but surely, and here the Bears are still, 3-10. They’re still 0-7 on the road with the ability to make franchise history in going 0-8 away from Soldier Field for the first time (When they went 0-7 in 1974, the league had a 14-game season). And, they still seemingly haven’t climbed out of the funk they were supposed to be leaving in the beloved Marc Trestman.

With Sunday’s loss, Bears head coach John Fox is guaranteed to finish with less wins than

his predecessor in two years. So even while the Bears are displaying signs of light, you wonder where the buck stops. You question whether they have the right man in charge to galvanize this group once they’re fully stocked and prepared for ring-fitting.

Where they finally turn a corner and have all of this effort translate into something meaningful beyond momentum that simply doesn’t exist.

A tangible concept created only out of feeling.

Feelings don’t last forever.

Patience is indeed a virtue in a long rebuild for the Bears, but with enough time, it’ll run thin.

Maybe it already has.

Week 15 vs. Green Bay

The Packers come into Soldier Field on Sunday as one of the hottest teams in the league, with the league’s hottest quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. If Green Bay wins, they’ll have tied the all-time series between the rivals.

When the Bears are on defense: The last time these two met on ‘Thursday Night Football’ was the market correction Rodgers needed to right his 2016 season. In the past eight games, Rodgers has thrown 22 touchdowns, is completing 67.9 percent of his passes, and has a remarkable 108.3 passer rating. He’s only thrown three picks in that same span too.

So much for a “down year” that has Rodgers on pace for 39 touchdown passes and just nine interceptions.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any hope for Chicago. If not for a lackluster offense – that had just 189 yards – ironically led by current quarterback Matt Barkley after Brian Hoyer broke his arm, the Bears defense doesn’t run out of gas last occasion. Chicago’s defense pressured Rodgers and covered Green Bay receiving core well enough with a similar group of band aids, that they actually held a 10-6 lead in the third quarter of the 26-10 loss.

The key will be to replicate that effort, as this was the game where Floyd – a top De-

2-0 in the shootout round. Neither Abbot or Schmaltz were able to tally a marker whereas Brendan Ranford and Travis Morin would score in the shootout to earn the extra point, handing Rockford their eighth straight loss.

The IceHogs now sit in last place in the Central with a 7-13-2-3 record and a dismal 1-5-1-3 record in their last 10.

Looking forward

Rockford looks to get back on track as they

fensive Rookie of the Year candidate – broke out with two sacks, a forced fumble, and a touchdown. Floyd will have to do something similar again as he’s improved aplenty in the past two months. Floyd’s complimentary partner, Pernell McPhee, is also healthier than the spot duty he was relegated to in Green Bay, so that’ll help.

When the Bears are on offense: Barkley returns to the scene of the crime of his worst performance of the season. Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers’ exotic zone blitzing schemes proved to throw an inexperienced Barkley off kilter to the tune of two interceptions and general inaccuracy.

With three starts under his belt now, there’s comfort as Barkley is a different quarterback than the one that appeared at Lambeau Field. He’s playing within himself and has lead an offense without an objective number one passing option well according to expectations.

This is Barkley’s opportunity to rectify past mistakes and instill belief in a Chicago front office searching for its quarterback of the future.

It won’t be easy against a Green Bay defense that’s allowed just 36 points in the past three weeks combined, but it’s not an impossible task. The return of star receiver Alshon Jeffery from suspension, and as always a steady dose of the running back Howard, will help Barkley immensely.

As long as Barkley plays to his skillset, there’s no reason he shouldn’t have success against a unit that struggled mightily in the midseason. How much success he has exactly, will no doubt factor into offseason evaluations of his standing on the roster.

Beating Green Bay is always a way to build up goodwill in Chicago.

G

oing into Week 9, the IceHogs were riding a season-long five game losing streak with one game at home before heading off to Texas.

The IceHogs only home game of the week was Wednesday, December 7 against the San Antonio Rampage. After coming on in relief of Mac Carruth in their previous outing, Jake Hildebrand would get the nod for his first official start.

The team didn’t help him out much in the first period as Rockford got into penalty trouble early in the game with two penalties in the first six minutes of the game.

Mike Sislo tallied for the Rampage on their second opportunity to give the Rampage the first lead of the game.

The IceHogs were victimized once again in the first period with two more penalties before the 10 minute mark, and a total of six minor penalties in the opening period.

San Antonio once again capitalized late in the frame with a Matt Lashoff 5-on-3 power play goal to give the Rampage a 2-0 lead going into the first intermission.

Rockford fought back in the second and

recently re-assigned for Nick Schmaltz found the back of the net on his first AHL shot – a breakaway score at 10:43 to pull Rockford to within one.

Shortly after, Brandon Mashinter would get into a scuffle with Mason Geertsen and the two were handed down 10-minute misconducts for fighting at puck drop.

With 19 second left on the clock in the middle frame, Schmaltz tallied his second of the game after he went bar-down on a shot from the right side to even the score at 2-2 going into the final 20 minutes of play.

The officials kept the whistles in their pockets for the most part, but neither team was able to tally the game winner in regulation, so we would head to extra hockey.

Joe Whitney would cap the scoring and the game with 1:33 left in overtime to give San Antonio the win. With overtime play set to 3-on-3, Whitney carried the puck around the left side of the net where Spencer Abbott looked like he was cemented to the ice as Whitney casually skated around him.

Whitney slid the puck past Hildebrand, who stopped 36 of 39 shots, for the game-ending goal. The loss was Rockford’s sixth straight, and third straight post-regulation loss and

third in six games.

Friday had Rockford traveling down to Texas for a two game series against the Texas Stars in Cedar Park where the IceHogs have had some recent success in the past few seasons.

Unfortunately, luck would run out and the IceHogs were washed with an 8-4 drubbing.

Texas got out to a quick 3-0 lead, but Rockford managed to storm back quickly and tie the game up at 3-3.

Despite two Andrew Bodnarchuk penalties against Texas in the first period, It was Texas outshooting and outscoring Rockford 9-5 on shots and 3-0 in goals, in the first 20.

One of the Texas penalties extended to the second period, and Cameron Schilling tallied with less than 30 seconds on the power play to give Rockford their first goal.

Luke Johnson and Robin Norrell each scored their first goals of the season within 1:07 of each other to knot the score at 3-3.

Just over a minute later, Texas would score two goals in 1:30 to bring the Stars back ahead by two goals for a lead they would not relinquish.

Two more Texas goals in the third would give the Stars an insurmountable 7-3 lead before Kyle Baun tallied his third of the season to once again

close Rockford to within three goals.

But Justin Dowling would put an end to any sort of a comeback with his fourth of the season at 15:41 to cap the scoring for an 8-4 Texas win.

Both teams would face off the following night for the second game of the series, and one would wonder if it was the exact same teams that played less than 24 hours ago.

Once again, Texas would hop out to the early 1-0 lead, but that was all the scoring we would see in the first. In fact, Rockford outshot the Stars 9-6 and Carruth seemed to settle in quite nicely.

Abbott would provide the only scoring in the second frame as Schilling and Schmaltz would get credit with assists in the game-tying goal. Rockford would once again hold court in shots taken with a 14-11 advantage.

For the third straight period Rockford would hold a shot advantage, but neither team would find the back of the net, and we would once again go to extra hockey.

Another scoreless period would send the game to overtime with Texas winning See HOGS on Page 31
