On the Cover: Winter finally came to Rockford on Monday with ice storms and record sleet totals closing businesses and organizations, and bringing the city to a standstill. But downtown is open again, and if you’re sitting on a pile of gift cards from Christmas we recommend checking out some of the nifty stuff available at JR Kortman, including this mini ‘The Symbol’.

Inside this issue

Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful will have 14 local sites available for Christmas tree recycling from January 1-15. There will be free drop-off sites located in Rockford, Belvidere, Cherry Valley, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Roscoe, Rockton and Pecatonica. The Machesney Park drop-off site has changed from previous years and is now at the southwest parking lot of Machesney Town Center, 8750 North Second Street, off South Mall Drive near the rear of the former J.C. Penney store. Recycling natural trees conserves landfill space while also providing mulch for landscapes. KNIB calculates that more than 750,000 trees have been recycled locally since 1988. Before a tree can be dropped off the stand should be removed, along with any ornaments, lights or wraps. After trees are chipped there is mulch available while supplies lasts, and is self-serve and not guaranteed. Any remaining mulch will be cleared by March. Those seeking to pick up mulch should bring shovels and containers to take home the mulch for landscaping. A list of tree recycling and free mulch locations can be found at knib.org. As an alternate way to dispose of Christmas trees, area high school Future Farmers of America groups will be donating their time on Saturday, January 9 to collect Christmas trees. The trees will be picked up at the curb and taken to a local chipping site where they will be turned into mulch. Trees must be at the curb by 8 a.m. on January 9, with all their decorations and stands removed, to be picked up. The FFA groups that will be taking part this year are: Byron High School FFA, Oregon High School FFA, Polo High School FFA, and the Forreston High School FFA. The students will be covering areas including Byron, the cities of Oregon and Polo, and the villages of Mt. Morris, Forreston, Baileyville, German Valley, and Adeline. Trees should not be placed in plastic bags. Wreaths and garland cannot be chipped and will not be picked up. “This is a great opportunity for these students to help with a program that benefits local residents by making it convenient to recycle their Christmas trees,” said Solid Waste Department Director, Steve Rypkema. “At the same time, they can earn community service hours and help the environment. We appreciate their help”. For further information call the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020.

BUBBLE BURST

Derek Droessler

Hononegah’s dome succumbs to Monday’s winter storm By Erin Kolb

‘It’s not a pup tent you can just set back up.’

Contributor

The Hononegah Sports Dome collapsed Monday night as a record-setting sleet and ice storm pelted the Rockford area. The school’s insurance company along with staff from the dome’s designer, Air Structures American Technologies Inc. (ASATI), were at the school to investigate Tuesday. “It’s not a pup tent you can just set back up,” said Hononegah School District Superintendent Lynn Gibson. “Cranes have to be involved, and it takes some work.” The insurance company will have to determine whether the dome will be repaired or

-Hononegah School District Superintendent Lynn Gibson

replaced after assessing damage to the structure. The 59,000 square foot structure, home to the school’s indoor track as well as gym classes and myriad winter practices, came down in a heap as basketball goals were left poking out of its exterior. Hononegah’s dome is the second designed by ASATI to come down during icy weather. In 2007, a similar dome in Wilke-Barre, Pennsylvania collapsed during a severe ice storm. The timing of the collapse is unfortunate, with

about 2,000 students set to return to the school next Monday. The collapse leaves the school with little room to hold physical education classes. “There has been a generous outpouring of support from the nearby schools,” Gibson said. “They have been very generous in allowing us to use athletic facilities.” Completed in 2002 for a cost of around $3 million, the dome was expected to last 20 years. Officials say once the investigation into the collapse is complete they will begin to look

at plans to fix the outer skin and reinflate the dome or move on to replace the complex with a new fieldhouse. A school board member told the Times on Tuesday that plans were already under discussion to replace the dome prior to the collapse. Yearly cost and maintenance projections of around $50,000 have nearly tripled during the dome’s lifetime. At this time, there is no confirmation as to when the assessment will be complete due to the size and scope of the area. The school board is keeping parents updated with emails and will continue to do so as the investigation continues.

‘Home Alone’

Illinois’ real-life ‘Home Alone’ story inspired legislation that gives the state too much power to intrude into parents’ reasonable decisions about their children. By Jeffrey Schwab Illinois Policy

well-off family from the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, Illinois, accidently leaves their eight-year-old son home alone for several days while they travel to Paris for a family vacation. That’s the familiar plot from the 1990 hit movie “Home Alone.” But that plot is fictional, and although it’s a light-hearted movie, it raises serious questions, which it also leaves unanswered: When, and for how long, are kids mature enough to be left without supervision, and when should the government step in and punish a parent for doing so? One is left to wonder what legal consequences Kevin McCallister’s parents faced, if any. A few years after the movie debuted, a St. Charles, Illinois, couple, David and Sharon Schoo, made international headlines when they left their daughters, ages 4 and 9, home alone for nine days, while they went on a vacation in Mexico. The Schoos were dubbed the “Home Alone” couple and the “most hated couple in America.” The parents were charged with criminal child abandonment and child endangerment and after an investigation, were later charged with battery for allegedly kicking and choking their children. They pleaded guilty and received two years probation after a plea deal. Their children were immediately taken out of their care, and the couple eventually agreed to relinquish their parental rights. This case prompted the nation to revisit the idea of parents leaving children home alone, and to think about what punishments are necessary for parents who abandon their young children. It also spurred the Illinois General Assembly in 1993 to act to toughen its laws on abandonment and neglect, which increased penalties for parents and gave the state more leeway to find neglect or abandonment. In Illinois it is criminal child abandonment to knowingly leave a child under the age of 13 without supervision by a responsible person over the age of 14 for a period of 24 hours or

more without regard for the mental or physical health, safety or welfare of that child. To determine what “without regard for the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare” means, the law provides 15 factors for consideration. Furthermore, the Juvenile Court Act provides that “any minor under the age of 14 years whose parent or other person responsible for the minor’s welfare leaves the minor without supervision for an unreasonable period of time without regard for the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare of that minor” is neglected. The law provides 15 nonexhaustive factors to determine whether the period of time was unreasonable and whether the parent left the child “without regard for the mental or physical, health, safety, or welfare of that minor.” Although not a criminal statute, this allows law enforcement with a suspicion that a child is neglected to take the child into custody without a warrant. A court that finds that a child was neglected under the Juvenile Court Act can order the child to be placed in custody away from his or her parents. In addition, a child of any age up to 14, depending on the circumstances in which he or she is left alone, could be found neglected due to “inadequate supervision” under Department of Children and Family Services, or DCFS, rules and procedures. DCFS’s rule for inadequate supervision includes 21 factors that investigators should consider when investigating such an allegation, and provides great discretion to investigators to apply those factors. But these factors provide very little guidance for parents to figure out when their actions constitute “inade-

quate supervision.” Thus, although the Illinois General Assembly has given the state flexibility under the law to determine whether a person is guilty of child abandonment or whether a child is neglected, it has not provided Illinois parents with many guidelines to know when they can or cannot leave their children unsupervised. For example, Natasha was “indicated” for inadequate supervision when, in the summer of 2013, she let her children – ages 5, 9 and 11 – play by themselves in a park adjacent to her apartment with their 9-year-old cousin, even though Natasha, along with the mother of the cousin and a friend, were able to see the four children from an apartment window and checked on them every 10 minutes. Parents deserve to be able to make responsible decisions about when to leave their children home alone. Sometimes a parent has no other choice. Not only should the state only intervene in extreme cases where protection of the child is necessary, but it should provide Illinois parents with guidance so they can be sure they are not violating the law. Relying on factors to be interpreted by a government official provides no guidance to a parent struggling to understand what the law allows her to do. Extreme cases make bad law. After the Schoo case, many thought the law needed to be stricter and provide harsher penalties. But in the ensuing two decades, the state has gone too far. Although the Schoo case was horrible, such cases are rare. Meanwhile, thousands of parents like Natasha have to make decisions about when they can leave their children unsupervised. And these cases are in no way comparable to the maltreatment of the Schoo children. Decisions about whether a child can be left unsupervised are generally best reserved for parents, who know their children better than anyone. The state should amend its laws and rules to safeguard parental choice while still protecting children by intervening only in extreme cases.

‘Decisions about whether a child can be left unsupervised are generally best reserved for parents, who know their children better than anyone.’

Taking off Rockford-native Rose McGregor has big plans for the stage

By Richard Gubbe Contributor

ose McGregor has lofty ambitions in musical theater. And when she floats into the Stage Coach Players Theatre for her first production ever in DeKalb, she will be taking her inaugural flight out of Rockford on a trip with a revised flight plan. As her resume has expanded, McGregor has had to alter her dream flight to a higher altitude. If her flight plan stays true, stopovers along the way will include Chicago with plenty of return flights back to Starlight Theatre in between trips to New York City. Mary Poppins will be the first offering in the 70th season for Stage Coach Players in 2016 and McGregor wants so badly to be Mary, she’ll drive four days a week for rehearsal in the winter from Rockford. When she settles in for the March production, she will be marking another musical theater goal off her list, with her ultimate destination eastward. “I would choose New York over anything,” McGregor says. Her goals have changed direction in three short years. Before she started getting bigger roles, her dream was to perform in the Ozarks. McGregor is a Rockford School District 205 certified nurse at King and Barbour elementary schools. She also takes part in special education consults and vision screenings.

“I love what I do and I love the kids, but if I had a chance to be a professional actress and be paid for it, I would do it,” McGregor said. In the interim, she will take the role she has cherished since childhood. “I lived it growing up,” she said of her fondness for the film. “It’s a challenging part and I love to challenge myself musically, and, she gets to fly. How cool is that?” Stage Coach players are made up of local actors and McGregor went in and stole the role from far away. “I had never heard of it,” she admitted about the company, hearing about auditions from a fellow actor. The theater company had 123 tryouts for the show, McGregor said, and three were called back for the role of Mary. “We all sang and acted in front of each other,” she said. “I just feel like I identify so much with her that I had to have it. When Mary hits the high C in the end, I was the only who could do it.” All is fair in tryouts where heartbreak is part of life. McGregor lost out to Samantha Owen for the same role in the Starlight version last summer when Owen returned to Starlight from her career in New York to take the role. “I’ve had it happen to me,” she said. “You have to look out for numero uno.” Last summer, she took the challenge to play

Inge in Young Frankensten. She dyed her hair blond, showed off her lofty range and intensity and danced expertly in the demanding tap tune “Puttin’ On The Ritz.” Still south of 30 years old, she had never heard of the movie or provocative musical. “I really didn’t know it,” she said. “I listened to ‘Roll in the Hay’ and said this is not the part for me. After I got the part I said ‘what was I getting into.’” She grew up in Rockford and took voice lessons from Denise Lundeen in middle and high school. She graduated in 2005 from Boylan and majored in nursing at Marquette University where there was no time for theater. She kept her vocal chords warm singing the “Star Spangled Banner” for sports events. “I did it a lot,” she said. “It’s challenging.” After a brief layover in the Milwaukee area, she was homesick and came back in 2012. Although she had taken dance lessons as a child and appeared in a few plays at Boylan, jumping into community theater with a lack of acting skills took courage. Then came barrage of roles in indoor and outdoor shows at Rock Valley College under Director Mike Webb. “I haven’t been in any he hasn’t directed,” McGregor said. “Everything has been with Mike.” At the quaint Studio Theatre setting, she took parts in Fiddler on the Roof, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, A Flea in Her Ear, A Christmas Carol and A Little Night Music. Her first Starlight show was Starlight Express as a Hip-Hopper. “I had to be on roller skates and that was interesting,” she said. “I never roller skated before. I’m glad I didn’t have to roller skate at my audition.” Along came the lead in Sound of Music. “I was shocked,” she said. “It was such a big part and I really didn’t have that kind of experience. That Mike had that much trust in me was awesome. I was shocked. “When the first curtain went up for Sound of Music I said what have I gotten myself into.” This indoor season, she has had major roles in Witness for the Prosecution and Sunday in the Park with George. “Stephen Sondheim is amazing and chal-

lenging,” she says of George, which many say is Sondheim’s hardest production to undertake. Witness is a straight play from Agatha Christie that provides a twist at the end. “It was a part I wasn’t used to playing – a serious actor type,” she said. Webb changed the gender from male to female for the prosecutor. “Originally it was a male character and he made it a female character for me as opposed to how Christie wrote it as a man,” she said. The script even surprised the cast. “The read through was fun and our jaws hit the floor when we got to the end,” she said. She’s taking on serious roles to help her acting and make her a serious triple threat, something mandatory in New York. “My acting could be so much better and roles like that help me work on that,” she said. She would like to return to Starlight this summer and then she said she will be checking auditions in Chicago. “I ideally would like to get to Chicago and see if I could survive,” she says. If New York calls, she won’t hesitate to take “a once-in-a-lifetime shot.” “I have spent a lot of my life doing what someone else wanted but now I want to make decisions for myself,” she said. The move away from a country career came after three years of escalating roles. “That seemed more realistic at the time, she said “I just never thought it was a possibility until now. How do I know if don’t try? I always had Broadway on my mind.” Her preferred first-class flight? “Totally Broadway,” she says. Mary Poppins will run March 10-20. Other productions for the 2016 season at Stage Coach Theatre include Laramie Project April 28-May 8, My Fair Lady June 2-12, Devil’s Disciple July 7-17, Into The Woods August 11-21, Dixie Swim Club September 15-25, The Game’s Afoot October 20-30, and A Christmas Carol November 26-December 4.

Cinema

Our top 5 flicks of 2015

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

here have been a lot of murmurs among film fans and critics that 2015 was a poor year for films. While I disagree, this past year has seen originality put to the side in favor of the reboot/sequel, a trend that has seen two films alone set box office records. Not that Hollywood was devoid of any new ideas, 2015 saw new directors make their debut while Pixar continued to prove why nobody can tell a story quite like them, even if their latter effort fell short of the mark. With Oscar season on the horizon, the heavy hitters are being released yet I felt this year was more about spectacle, excitement and fun. I’m a fan of all cinema including low budget indies, and while Slow West and MacBeth are must see films, they are omitted from this list as I lean towards this year’s blockbusters.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

It didn’t take long for the knives to come out for the long awaited sequel to Return of the Jedi. Was it just a rehash of Episode IV, was Rey a Mary Sue, why does Han insist a parsec is a measurement of time? The majority didn’t care and with good reason. More than just a nostalgia trip, J.J. Abrams ensured that Disney’s first entry to the Star Wars saga was an exhilarating and thrill packed ride that appealed to old and new audiences.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

Matthew Vaughan’s comic book flick injected some life into the British spy genre. Based on the comic by Mark Millar, Kingsman is ultra-violent, controversial and an incredible amount of fun. Colin Firth turns in his best performance in years while the relatively unknown Taron Egerton is captivating and charismatic as the young delinquent turned superspy. It’s silly and over the top yet it’s layered with enough depth to keep you interested

beyond the bloodshed. Worth seeing for the Church scene alone.

The Gift

Joel Edgerton decides to step in front of the camera for his directorial debut. The Gift is a rarity for top films of 2015 as it’s based off of an original screenplay, also by Edgerton. It’s creepy, tense and a little absurd towards the end but it’s a compelling thriller. Jason Bateman shrugs off the funny man routine to help create a hateful character. There are many twists to be had resulting in a shocking climax that you can’t help but suppress a twisted smile at.

Mad Max: Fury Road

One of the most talked about films of the year, but for some of the wrong reasons. Like Star Wars The Force Awakens, Mad Max Fury Road was a sequel/reboot of a much loved franchise that managed to piss off a lot of fanboys by daring to have a strong female character. Charlize Theron is the star of this gas-fuelled maelstrom of carnage while Tom Hardy’s Max offers more of a supporting role. Non-stop from start to finish, Fury Road is an insane roller coaster that delivered quite the cinematic experience.

Inside Out

It’s easy to argue that Pixar has never made a bad film, however it’s also easy to make the case that their output in recent years has been below their usual standard. That was all rectified when Inside Out hit screens and reduced adults to sniveling messes as they were forced to relive their childhood onscreen. A wondrous film with stunning animation to complement its beautiful script. There are many laughs to be had but Inside Out cuts deep in a manner not seen from the company since Toy Story 3. No other film released this year came close to evoking the same emotions while telling a wonderful story with such charming simplicity.

Rockford Rocked Interviews

Hardworking bass man Goble keeping time

By Todd Houston Exclusive to TRRT

ockford Rocked Interview: Some people have called you one of the hardest working bass players in the area. I would assume that’s because you’re always involved in a new project or filling in for someone else’s gig. What have you been up to lately? Tom Goble: Well these days it’s more like “hardly working” bass player (laughs). After being out of the scene for a couple years I recently subbed for Mike Coulahan with the Crastinators and am currently the backup bass player for Verne Smith’s favorite band Bullet. RRI: You were actually playing in a national touring band right out of high school. How does a kid from Guilford go from playing parties to hitting the road with four other dudes, playing clubs and sleeping in a van? TG: Back in those days an agency would book bands in clubs for 2-6 nights. Many of them provided some sort of hotel or fleabag flophouse for the band to stay. After a month or so of being on the road we would come home, sleep for a week and go out again. We were all very young and it was a rock ‘n roll circus for sure. We partied hard but played even harder. We built up our chops and got better by doing it. RRI: I’ve heard stories about shady club owners not paying bands simply because they didn’t draw enough of a crowd. You guys were playing these clubs sometimes three nights in a row. Did you ever get shafted when it came time to pay out? TG: I’m not sure if I was in the band Rock City

or China White at the time, but at some long gone Italian place out east we’re in the office getting paid and the owner is at this desk saying “You guys ain’t right for this place so we’re only giving you half!” Then he opens up the drawer and takes out the money and a nickel plated .38 special and says, “you got any problem with that?” (laughs). RRI: I seem to remember that a lot of the local bars back in the ’70s and ’80s would put on a Battle of the Bands to try to get people into their club. In your opinion was that just mostly a popularity contest or was it truly legitimate? TG: It was through a battle of the bands that my former band Rock City came to be on the first Y-95 Homemade Album. Fifteen battles! Whoever got the most audience response at the end of the show won. Fifteen winners recorded a tune to submit and the 10 best were picked for the album. After seeing as how the club got free entertainment and a packed house for 15 weeks I would say they were the winners. A slippery slope my friend. RRI: You packed up and moved to New York City in the early ’90s in order to break into a more professional type gig. Were you shocked at how fast paced NYC was compared to the Midwest? TG: Yes the pace of life in general in NYC was quite brisk, seemingly rude at first, but I acclimated pretty fast. You have to because if you don’t there’s always another bus coming in five minutes. That city will chew you up and spit you out. To quote Johnny Thunders, “Avenue A, you might survive, Rivington, you’ll surely die.” RRI: After moving back from NYC you joined a

band that was involved in the first WXRX Bandemonium contest. What the hell was that all about? TG: I was in a band called 11th Hour Reprieve at the time. WXRX 104.9 put on this Bandemonium contest where several bands would play rotating venues on a weekly elimination. The winner was chosen based on attendance, computer votes and merchandise sales. We lasted a surprisingly long time considering no one knew who the hell we were! I think some of the other bands were The Snaggs, 420 and Suite Oblivion. RRI: I was told that you collect guitars and basses. Any idea of how many pieces you have in your collection? TG: Yes, I am lucky to be a member of the 1960s Thunderbird club with an extremely rare 1963 Gibson T-Bird IV finished in Inverness green and played and autographed by the great John Entwistle. As far as how many guitars I have, if I told you the real number my girlfriend would kill me! (laughs) RRI: I’m going to say a word or phrase and you say reply with whatever pops into your head. Ready? RRI: LT’s Bar (Former Rockford Club). TG: Played there New Year’s Eve 2002 and my black 1980 Hamer guitar was stolen by some thieving magpie. Still looking to get it back. RRI: Guitar Madness (guitar show) in Elgin. TG: Bought a Ronnie Wood prototype there in 1997. RRI: Johnny Thunders (New York Dolls guitarist). TG: He’s 100 percent pure rock ‘n roller! I was very fortunate to have been able to hang out and

jam with him. A lot of bands owe him and the Dolls a lot more than people know. RRI: The Lyran Club (Rockford). TG: Rehearsed there with 11th Hour Reprieve. Cheap drinks and fun. RRI: Baron von Raschke (former pro wrestler). TG: The Claw. RRI: When and where can we go to see Tom Goble lay down the low end? TG: I’m playing with Bullet on New Year’s Eve 2015 at the American legion (formerly LT’s). Hopefully without a guitar being stolen. (laughs)

Downtown’s newest Magpie offers something for everyone

By Nate Johnson Columnist

he dining options in downtown Rockford continue to increase, this time on the west side of the river. Magpie, located just south of the BMO Center at 307 S. Main, opened for service in late December. Owner Stephanie Caltagerone took the restaurant, formerly Sammy’s and Jesse’s Place, and turned the inside into a lovely and inviting space, whimsically decorated, with counter seating along with 11 tables and two booths, all of which have gotten plenty of use over the last week and a half. Open from 6:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. most days (open until 9 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and BMO event nights), Magpie specializes in breakfast and lunch items with a heavy emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients. A run down the menu highlights several local purveyors, including oatmeal with oats from Hazzard Free Farm,

hamburgers with beef from Eickman’s, and their own house blend of coffee from Javamania. Craftfully-prepared comfort food is the specialty of the house. The breakfast menu features

a number of omelets, pancakes and French toasts (including a stuffed version for those with a sweet tooth), and biscuits and gravy, while the lunch selections are heavy on the salad and

sandwich options, along with a variety of mac and cheeses. The sandwich selection offers something for everyone, from a classic such as the Hot Brown to their own twist on the standard chicken sandwich, served here with their house spinach and artichoke spread. All burgers and sandwiches are served with perfectly-done hand-cut fries. As if the standard menu isn’t enough, an ever-changing list of daily specials will greet patrons, ranging from specialty coffee cakes at breakfast to twists on the house burger like the magnificent bacon jam version put out this week. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced, and portions are generous to say the least. Magpie can be reached at 815-708-0639, and their specials can be found on their Facebook page. The warm service and more-than-satisfying meals will make you a repeat customer.

DECEMBER THE MONTH OF GIVING At this time of year, people are thinking of charitable giving. Not only does it leave you with a warm feeling of helping others; it can also result in some end-of-year tax deductions. Would you rather pay the government or make sure your money stays here in your community or with causes you care about?

Commentary

Remember ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’

By Frank Schier Editor & Publisher

he people of this country were lied to about the presence of “Weapons of Mass Destruction” in Iraq; and accordingly, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were never charged with war crimes as they should have been. The media went along with this deception and has let it lay, like the live hand grenade that living lie is. That deception created the quicksand of the consequences of the Iraq War that keeps trying to claim more American lives with the new mass destruction threat of ISIS. Polls show 40 percent of the gullible American public would agree to put “Boots on the Ground” in Iraq and the new death hole of Syria. How can we forget those “Boots” are filled with red-blooded American youth wanted by the vampires of sorrow ISIS that lay ruin to the good name of the Muslim religion and its historical contributions to world civilization. Go to any U.S. Veterans Hospital, and see many of our proud soldiers with only one boot or none. For what? With the Syrian immigration crisis, the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, and the ever-flapping, ever-growing mouth of The Offald, the fear machine is being cranked up to lead us to a greater loss of privacy and a greater loss of freedom on the internet. Hear the saber rattling for more constant war. Amazingly, some of the media act like the PR department for a police state and the military industrial complex. The last Republican Presidential Debates on CNN clearly displayed CNN’s promulgation of the fear and war mentality in the content of its many questions by the appropriately named Wolf Blitzer. “Blitzer: Since you last debated, Americans have witnessed terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino. The FBI director says the country now faces the greatest terror threat since 9/11. You all have different approaches to keeping the country safe. And that will be the focus of tonight’s debate. “Blitzer: … Governor Christie, if the U.S. imposed a no-fly zone over Syria and a Russian plane encroached, invaded that no-fly zone, would you be prepared to shoot down that Russian plane and risk war with Russia?” Put on your critical thinking hat and look at all of CNN’s war machine questions from the debate

(transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1512/15/ se.02.html). Thankfully, President Obama is acting like a president, not a hotheaded broadcaster or reality-show host whose main attribute is to pose in toughness or loudly fire people. Thankfully, Obama has the strength of character on this issue of further Middle East disaster to proceed with very-much-needed caution. Deliberate and considered long-term decision making and tempered action are the keys to a workable solution in a region of the world really run by Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran. ISIS, Syria, Iraq and Yemen are being manipulated as surrogates in these two countries’ competition for primacy in the Arab world (wsj.com/video/saudi-arabiavs-iran-the-sunni-shiite-proxy-wars/A7B706969A6D-4B26-88EC-BBFDD44AE112.html). As noted in the very fine Wall Street Journal video, this Sunni/Shiite political conflict in the heart of the Muslim religion and region has been going on for 1,400 years. Only a fool, Mr. Trump, would think a simple term like “strength” can solve this historical prob-

First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

lem that requires bringing Saudi Arabia and Iran to the same diplomatic table. Hopefully, with the cooperation of the complicating presence of Russia, Obama has such an effort underway. Obama’s restraint and empathy in reacting to the San Bernardino tragedy is also admirable. The value of the lives lost there can never be downplayed. Yet, so far this is an isolated incident of one couple that should be a consideration in the decision making on Syrian immigration and general domestic security, but this tragedy should not color all or our rational thinking. And very importantly, we should not let our negative imagination or anyone’s insult-driven rhetoric walk us off the plank of another extended loss of taxes and lives in the Middle East. Rational and critical thinking should be the primacy of the day for citizens and the media, rather than the ad-selling, rating-driven sensationalism of the weaker moments of media decision making. I am one of the most avid critics of Fox News. I do not believe they are “Fair and Balanced.” I think they are an organ of the Republican Party. Yet I was very pleasantly surprised to hear Bill O’Reilly and

Charles Krauthammer call Trump a “demagogue” after the last debate. That was honesty, mainly because they are right to challenge a threat to their traditional Republicanism. I like the first definition I found in an internet search of “demagogue:” “A leader who obtains power by means of impassioned appeals to the emotions and prejudices of the populace.” Does that definition sound like some emissions you’ve heard from a so-called human, The Offald, or a weapon of crass destruction? How sad it is to watch the former levels of this nation’s semi-civilized political discussion fall to weapons of crass destruction hurled out of the mouth of The Offald. Falling into this pit of prejudice and the gaping hole of the war machine shows how short our memories are about “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and how we were all deceived and still can be deceived. When CNN and Fox News seem to become interchangeable, and The Offald ties Pope Francis as Gallup Polls’ “Most Admired Man”, I know we are in a parallel time to pre-World War II Germany. God help us.

Change training ideals to reduce cop violence By Frank Rudy Cooper Professor of Law, Suffolk University

t must be a terrible burden knowing that you might have to make a quick decision about whether to yell at someone, shock them, or shoot them dead. That is the weight inherent in the job of a police officer. Nonetheless, we appropriately expect cops to maintain a peacekeeping mentality – to remain calm, patient and controlled even in life-or-death situations. Unfortunately, patient and nonaggressive policing will be rare unless we train officers to overcome the rules of what I call cop macho. While recognizing that machismo has special meaning in Latina/o culture, I use the term to describe a gendered, aggressive outlook that is at the heart of our current policing problems. Police officers, including women, are often particularly masculine and the culture of police departments promotes masculine responses. Those masculine responses can prove deadly. Outrage over police slayings of unarmed black civilians – from Chicago to Baltimore to New York to Ferguson and beyond – has provoked a national debate on what should be done about the use of deadly force by law enforcement. In Ferguson earlier this week, city officials and the US Department of Justice have worked out a preliminary agreement to overhaul the city’s police department, which would include new training for police officers. While the debate over police abuses has focused on race, I argue we need to consider how the desire to act in ways society deems manly has influenced policing. One imperative of masculinity is that you may not allow another person to show you disrespect.

As I have demonstrated in my research, police officers sometimes punish disrespect because they believe “a challenge to their respect is a challenge to their manhood.” For many police officers, disrespect requires an escalation in force. Such escalation is commonly known as “contempt of cop.” Being found in contempt of court is a punishment for disobeying a judge. “Contempt of cop” occurs when an officer punishes you for failing to comply with her request. Sometimes the punishment takes the form of being charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest or a similarly amorphous crime simply for verbally standing up for your rights. Sometimes it takes the form of physical force. Two widely discussed incidents involving unarmed black civilians demonstrate this concept. In the July 2015 Sandra Bland case, the dashcam video records white male police officer Brian Encinia telling Bland, a black female, that he pulled her over because she “failed to signal the lane change.” When Bland declares that Encinia was tailing her, sped up toward her, then pulled her over for changing lanes to get out of his way, Encinia does not deny that description. Seemingly because Bland refuses to put out her cigarette, Encinia orders her out of the car at gunpoint, shouting, “I will light you up!” Encinia later slams Bland’s head into the ground. Three days later, Bland is found hanging dead in a jail cell. We do not know whether a police officer physically killed Sandra Bland, but we do know that she would not be dead but for Officer Encinia’s strange decision to arrest her following a trivial traffic violation. That decision is not so surprising, however, when the encounter is viewed as an ex-

ample of cop machismo. When Bland disrespected Encinia, he punished her for “contempt of cop.” In the very same city of Prairie View, Texas, white police officer Michael Kelley tasered City Councilor Jonathan Miller, a young black male, for refusing to comply with another unnecessary order. In October 2015, Miller exits his apartment when police officer Penny Goodie, a black female, is asking black men who had been visiting him what they are up to. Officer Kelley arrives and, despite being told there is no crime afoot, orders Miller to his knees for questioning the police. Very quickly, Kelley asks Miller, “Do you always start problems?” When the obviously unarmed, still kneeling Miller is slow putting his hands behind his back, Kelley tases him, with the approval of officer Goodie. The police department detains Miller for allegedly “interfering with police” and “resisting arrest.” Those charges seemed to punish Miller for his disrespect. One might claim that “contempt of cop” cases are primarily about race, but I believe they are at least as much about gender. Officer Kelley seems to have been upset that Miller challenged him by asserting his rights. The fact that officer Goodie and police chief Larry Johnson, who is also black, supported the tasing suggests something more than race was at play. Likewise, Encinia became incensed when Bland refused to cooperate with his gratuitous orders. In both cases, refusing to comply with officers’ orders pricked their egos and resulted in physical abuse. In both cases, it seems that a well trained officer could have deescalated the situation.

Two major proposals commonly suggested to address police abuse are problematic. The emerging procedural fairness methodology of policing, which emphasizes real-time explanations to civilians of why police are taking particular actions, seems to be a superficial change that is consistent with present, race-based targeting of suspects. The push to have police officers wear body cameras is a positive development but is likely to have less value over time as police officer criminal defense attorneys learn to discredit even the most powerful videos, as was done in the unsuccessful first Rodney King trial. Procedural fairness and body cameras do not reach the root causes of police abuse. If we are serious about reducing unnecessary police violence, we need to acknowledge the gendered aspects of police misuse of power. The best method I have found for reducing cop macho is deescalation training. For instance, a method called “verbal judo” teaches techniques for verbally deflecting hostility and verbally manipulating civilians into compliance. That approach would allow police officers to deemphasize the masculine preoccupation with disrespect and play the peacekeeping role we admire them for. I concede that many situations fall into a gray area where civilian disrespect seemingly conveys an actual physical threat. Consequently, an awareness of the way cop macho leads to “contempt of cop” punishments will not prevent all police uses of force. Training machismo out of police officers’ habits would be worth the effort, though, because it would allow the deescalation of many potential police-civilian conflicts. TheConversation.com

Don’t forget the need for Alzheimer’s care

s the manager of a local social service agency that provides services for the elderly, including individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, every day I see how devastating Alzheimer’s is and how important it is to find a cure. Alzheimer’s is one of the top 10 causes of death and is the most expensive disease in the U.S. It is the only disease in this category that has no cure nor course of treatment that can reduce the condition’s impact. As a result, Alzheimer’s costs our healthcare system more than any other disease. As the year draws to an end I remain hopeful. With still no budget, I am hopeful that Illinois politicians can learn from the federal government’s recent example of how to work together, compromise and craft a working budget. As devastating as Alzheimer’s is – I

still maintain hopefulness. My optimism lies is the promise of a cure that comes from research. By supporting the budget, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos voted to make the National Institute of Health research on Alzheimer’s a priority. As an Alzheimer’s Association Ambassador, professional caregiver and concerned citizen, I applaud Congresswoman Bustos for helping those affected by Alzheimer’s disease maintain their hope, as well.. Kelly Hillan Ridott

Emphasizing the positive aspects of clean energy Thank you for the article “Paris carbon reduction agreement” by Drs. Robert and

Sonia Vogl. They emphasize disagreements over the EPA’s Clean Power Plan and end with a very disheartening message: “The effort to reduce carbon emissions will continue to spur controversy. It will also impact the rate at which energy efficiency and renewable energy will be implemented. Individuals and communities can reduce their carbon emissions by using these resources.” How about emphasizing hope and renewed chances for cooperative effort during this season of peace and goodwill to all? Bloomberg News reported recently that Exxon and Sierra Club met secretly during 2009 to formulate a carbon emissions reduction plan that Congress could enact. Politics interfered with their proposal moving forward. Readers should urge Senators Mark Kirk and

Richard Durbin to cosponsor the Exxon-Sierra Club carbon pricing plan. If Exxon and Sierra Club can agree on climate policy, then Republicans and Democrats can too. You know Isaiah 11: “The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.” It’s time for our leaders to hang up their swords and spears (Isaiah 2), and cooperate on legislation that will allow us to live together peacefully. And it’ll only happen when we each, with child-like innocence push, prod and lead them to enact carbon pricing legislation. Rabbi Judy Weiss Volunteer member of Citizens’ Climate Lobby Brookline, MA

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo Week of Dec. 30, 2015 to Jan. 5, 2016

This Week: Happy New Year! This week will provide a time to reflect on our longterm goals as well as what we may or may not have accomplished in 2015. That is all water under the bridge now, this is a time to focus on a fresh start. Venus moves into Sagittarius this week creating spontaneous love opportunities as well as a soft lens with a beautiful view. Venus provides a gentler approach to solutions now that it has moved out of Scorpio. January 9 the new moon in Capricorn could be a bit of a struggle, with egos running high and emotions becoming scattered. Keep this in mind in order to navigate around this little speed bump. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — Large gatherings provide favorable business opportunities this week. Even if you feel as though you want to hide out from social activities, this is not the time to become a couch potato. This energy shift is a powerful one. Take advantage of new surroundings and connections made at this time, you won’t regret it, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— The constant battle between friends or family members is getting on your last nerve now. You may have to excuse yourself from the drama and find a comfortable spot to hide midweek. As you go within, you will be able to tap into your inner voice and heal your own wounds. A romantic interest becomes more evident during the month of January. Take the necessary steps to seal the deal. Walk wide of those who continue to stay in the mud, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A concern over a loss may have you feeling a bit melancholy or distracted early on this week. Concentrate on mundane tasks and push yourself through this anxiety. Midweek this begins to lift and unexpected news from the past reveals a bright spot for you to focus on. An Aries, Leo or Sagittarius female has a connection for mixing business with pleasure, be open for new opportunities Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — The power and the resources that you need to calm your internal storm lie within you. It’s just a matter of taking a leap of faith and trusting that the universe will not let you down. You can point fingers all day long at those around you, but at the end of the day you’re responsible for your own happiness. Take charge of it, you deserve the best, Cancer. Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) — This hectic schedule you’ve been dealing with will begin to pay off big time now. The universe is working with you to improve your finances and resources. All eyes are on you this week as you roll up your sleeves and get the job done. You receive praise and support from the strangest places now, accept this vote of confidence graciously, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) —If you have been holding your own personal pity party, it’s time to knock it off and get back to work. If not, set a better boundary with those that have been stealing your precious energy and taking advantage of your healing nature. It may not be evident to you just how much of a drain this has become until it’s too late. Surround

yourself with those that are making a difference in this world and don’t hold back. Your contributions to a larger cause will be evident at this time, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — If you have been grieving or feeling a tremendous amount of heaviness try not to concern yourself with this element too much. This will begin to shift during the month of January and you will find yourself removing old wounds from your system once and for all. An opportunity for employment or a business idea will arrive this month. This will help with this internal shift, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — A non-conventional sport or hobby is supposed to create relief for you, not more anxiety. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself to be the best and try living in the moment. It is these little moments that help us grow spiritually, emotionally and physically. Be conscious of what you bring voice to at this time, the louder you emphasize on what you don’t want the quicker it will come to you. Bring positive thought to each word you speak, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — As Saturn continues to tour your sign, some days may be a little more challenging than others. However; it does promote spiritual as well as physical muscle mass that we can utilize for many years to come. Venus moves into our sign this week to soften the mix and encourage romantic relationships to flourish. Expansion with business will arrive in 2016. Saturn’s influence is here to

help you be prepared for these opportunities, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — You have gone within and located your soul in the past few weeks. Now it’s time to bring your findings to the attention of those around you that matter. What you have learned can be deeply beneficial to friends and loved ones at this time. Gently encourage those around you to stretch their imaginary limitations. Your presentation will be received with gratitude, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — The universe has provided you with some down time to get those nagging mundane tasks in order. Try not to fret about work or money this week, you will be slammed with an overload of responsibilities during the month of May. Finances will be a major focus this month as well. You are able to catch up and set some money aside for a rainy day. Don’t let extra money burn an unnecessary hole in your pocket, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — You will find yourself overwhelmed with pride as a loved one accomplishes a long-term goal at this time. Express this with a deep sense of love and commitment to them. Your words are so powerful now you could move mountains with them. Don’t hold back. Allow spirit to speak through you. You can change the course of another’s life with your emotional support. As a result of this your own personal power begins to expand, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815-398-3983.

Energy & Environment

Combustion vs electrons: our automotive future By Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

he current energy glut is expected to continue as OPEC members agreed in December to maintain oil production at 30 million barrels per day in order to sustain their market share and drive out higher cost producers. The strategy is proving effective as US shale production is beginning to drop. The executive director of the International Energy Agency expects North American production to fall by a half million barrels per day next year. Any reduction in supplies will leave the world’s oil production even more concentrated in the politically volatile Middle East. Goldman Sachs indicates the price of oil could fall as low as $20/ barrel and bottom out. If prices drop below that level it will force more

producers out of the market curtailing supplies and potentially leading to an increase in the price of oil. Some analysts expect oil prices to rise in the fourth quarter of 2016 as firms will have downsized to a level which makes a rapid response to an increase in demand unlikely. Both Exxon’s World Energy Outlook to 2040 and OPEC’s World Energy Outlook expect fossil fuels to continue to be heavily relied on through 2040 and longer. Their expectations are in marked contrast to the pledges world leaders made at the recent COP 21 meeting in Paris to initiate action to make dramatic reductions in greenhouse carbon emissions by 2040. No mention is made of the need to leave 80 percent of fossil fuels in the ground. In a recent article, OPEC faces a mortal threat from electric cars, Ambrose Evan-Pritchard accuses the oil cartel of being unaware that

global energy politics have changed forever. He summarizes OPEC’s predictions that demand for oil will increase by 18 million barrels per day to 110 million barrels per day by 2040. OPEC expects the world’s fleet of cars will rise from 1 billion to over 2.1 billion by 2040 and 94 percent of them will run on petro and diesel. OPEC believes electric cars are too costly and their range too short. Their performance in the extremes of hot and cold weather limits their acceptance. Without a technological breakthrough in battery technology they do not expect electric cars to gain significant market share. In contrast to OPEC’s dismissal of alternatively powered vehicles is Chris Schneider’s Renewable Energy and Sustainability Fair presentation on Toyota’s intent to end all production of gasoline and diesel powered cars by 2050 and embrace of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles starting

with the Miria. Evan-Prichard cites multiple sources that are heavily investing in plug-in electric vehicles including Apple, Google, Tesla, Ford and Volkswagen. The race is on to challenge the global dominance of fossil fueled vehicles. Goldman Sachs expects that grid connected vehicles will capture up to 22 percent of the global market within a decade with battery costs falling 60 percent in five years. The firm directs attention toward Norway where electric vehicles constitute over 16 percent of the market driven by tax incentives, supportive policies and a plethora of charging stations. Although they are a major oil producing nation they appear to realize the importance of embracing electrification of the transportation system. Reach the Vogls at sonia@essex1.com.

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

While you might be making a New Year’s resolution related to your health, to get organized, or to break a bad habit, a New Year’s resolution can be targeted toward your garden and what you are planning to grow. It can also be a time to eat more local than you did in 2015. During the growing season, it’s a common occurrence to have regrets on what you are growing and how you are managing it. These regrets can be ones that can make great resolutions for 2016. For instance, you may have had weed problems last year and you might resolve to do a better job with weed management. In turn, you can put into place new weed control practices such as mulching, managing water, and being more proactive with handpulling. One year, I resolved to invest in seed starting equipment. This was a practice that I’ve now adopted each year with the crops that I grow by starting them as seeds. The winter is a great time to educate yourself in new

New year, new garden

growing methods and equipment that can make your garden even better. Another simple resolution is to grow a new variety or type of crop in your garden. Seed catalogs are beginning to show up in the mailbox. You can request seed catalogs directly from many seed websites. Growing a new vegetable or fruit is one way to expand your gardener expertise and your local foods diet. Ordering seeds in the winter can ensure that you get the varieties that you want in case they sell out in the spring. During the winter, your local University of Illinois Extension office offers many different horticultural programs related to growing crops. This is a great way to learn about new methods and crops that you can utilize in your garden next spring. If you don’t have access to garden space, you might consider eating more local. While it is the winter, there are still restaurants and grocery stores serving or selling local meats, dairy, and bread. You might be able to reach out to area farmers within the local foods directory to see if they have any produce or meats that you could purchase too.

Nation & World

Floods, storms ravage Midwest By Kevin Murphy & Mary Wisniewski Reuters

Missouri residents struggled through a fourth straight day of storms on Tuesday, fighting rising floodwaters that inundated homes, forced evacuations and closed highways and even part of the Mississippi River. A week of chaotic weather continued throughout the United States as a storm system that spawned deadly tornadoes in the Midwest and Southwest pushed north. More than 40 people have died of weather-related causes during the Christmas holidays in the past week. Missouri has been pounded by downpours since Saturday, and forecasters warned that its major rivers were still days away from cresting at record levels. At the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, about 20 miles north of St. Louis, residents of the small city of West Alton were told to evacuate on Tuesday due to rising waters. “Access to and from town will be lost in a matter of hours,” the local Rivers Pointe Fire District said in an alert. Video taken from local news helicopters showed homes in West Alton with water almost at roof level. There was also severe flooding near the courses of the Missouri, Meramec and Bourbeuse rivers in the town of Union, about 50 miles west of St. Louis, where footage showed several shops, a McDonald’s restaurant and a gas station partly submerged. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon called out the National Guard to provide security in evacuated areas and direct traffic away from closed roads. “These citizen soldiers will provide much-needed support to state and local first responders, many of whomhavespentthelastseveraldaysworkingaround the clock responding to record rainfall and flooding,” Nixon said in a statement. The floods forced the closure of hundreds of roads across Missouri, including in St. Louis and Interstate 44 near Rolla, a small city about 110 miles southwest of St. Louis, officials said. Threenewflood-relateddeathswerediscoveredon Tuesday, the governor told a news conference, raising the death toll in the state since the storms began over

CNN

the weekend to 13. Noting that a dozen of those deaths had been caused by vehicles being swept from flooded roads, Nixon reiterated that motorists should never drive around barricades or into standing water. The U.S. Coast Guard had to close a five-mile stretch of the Mississippi River near St. Louis to all vessel traffic because rising river levels created hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service predicted the Mississippi River at the Chester, Illinois, river gauge about 60 miles south of St. Louis would crest at 49.7 feet on Friday – matching the 1993 record. Local officials and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were working to fortify a levee in the area to protect homes and businesses, Nixon’s office said. On Saturday, the Mississippi is expected to crest at Thebes, just south of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, at 47.5 feet – nearly 2 feet above the record, officials said. Other rivers are also expected to reach new highs, with the Meramec forecast to crest at Valley Park, Missouri, at a record 42 feet. Elsewhere in the U.S. midsection, parts of eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas and Illinois also were under flood warnings and flood watches on Tuesday. Up to a foot of snow was forecast for Iowa and the Great Lakes region, the National Weather Service said. The severe weather has stranded tens of thousands of travelers during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 1,280 flights had been canceled in the United States and about 4,400 were delayed. About 2,900 flights were canceled on Monday, according to FlightAware.com. Adding to the misery, the U.S. Geological Survey reported that two mild earthquakes – 4.1 and 3.4 magnitude – rattled central Oklahoma early on Tuesday, causing power outages in an area already hit by winter storms. In an apparent storm-related incident in Oklahoma, singer Craig Strickland, 29, of the country-rock band Backroad Anthem went missing while duck hunting in a boat in bad weather with a friends. The friend’s body was found in a lake after their boat capsized, officials said.

Major League Baseball

FORMIDABLE FAVORITES

Northside additions put Cubs in driver’s seat of NL Central By Nate Johnson Columnist

f anyone thinks that the Chicago Cubs were satisfied with their run to the National League Championship Series last season, the front office has quickly put those ideas to rest this winter. With a series of moves that both strengthen their own team and weaken certain divisional foes, the Cubs stand as the pre-season favorite going into the 2016 MLB season. Over the course of the plan that team president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer have put into action, they have stressed that, while the focus of the team would be to develop from within, there would be money for

free agents when the right players came along. It just so happened that three such players hit the market at the same time. The biggest offseason move has been the signing of former Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward. Heyward comes into the fold in his prime (26 years old) with strong defensive credentials and upper echelon on-base and situational batting numbers. While the former Brave has never reached the power numbers he put up in his rookie year, he gives the Cubs an excellent block in center fielder. It was of little surprise to most Cubs fans that infielder Ben Zobrist was courted strongly by the team. A former player under Joe Maddon in Tampa, the super-utility man fits the model that both Maddon and the front office love to have on the bench. Zobrist can play any position besides either end of the battery (most of his experience

comes in the middle infield and the outfield corners) and gets on base at a healthy clip. With his 34th ranking in on-base percentage in 2015, the Cubs now have four of last year’s top forty finishers in OBP. A major concern coming out of the season was the need for a strong number three starter after Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta. In signing right-hander John Lackey (and Heyward) from the Cardinals, it not only solidifies the team’s rotation but takes away a starter from one of their most serious challengers in the league. Lackey, like Lester, brings extensive postseason experience, something lacking on last year’s playoff team. While not a top-level arm, Lackey brings a manageable contract and is only on the books for two years. As always, when adding to the roster, cuts must be made. The deepest could well end up

being the trade of long-time infielder Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees. Despite ups and downs over the course of his tenure with the Cubs, Castro showed strongest at the end of 2015 as he rebounded from a benching and the loss of the shortstop position to settle in at second base and make significant offensive contributions down the stretch. In return, pitcher Adam Warren joins the Cubs as a swingman, likely to see time both in the bullpen and making spot starts. Between the progress made in the regular season and the moves made in the hot stove league, it’s looking more and more likely that the Cubs could surpass the success they experienced this year. They’re already slated by oddsmakers as the co-favorites to win the World Series, tied with the San Francisco Giants at 6-1. A foolish bet? Time will tell.

Winter waiting game goes on for Sox By James Fegan The Catbird Seat

t’s a waiting game on White Sox news of an acquisition that will bridge the gap between “a series of good moves” and “a good offseason,” or even “a good team,” and at last update they are “quietly in the mix,” but it’s a good time to remind that the White Sox being at risk for losing a compensatory draft pick is part of what makes this offseason a unique window of opportunity. With Todd Frazier and Brett Lawrie plugging

the gaping holes in the infield, the Sox are unlikely to be top-10 pick protected for free agent compensation for the next two years. Between Adam LaRoche and John Danks, they certainly are not getting a comp pick next year, but at least now they are in a situation where they can lose a pick to FA compensation and still have a normal, complete draft. Combine this with having the chance to improve on the worst full-time right fielder in baseball with a rare crop of All-Star level corner outfielders at a time when their franchise core

is in their mid-to-late 20s, and this is quite the confluence of factors for opportunity they got cooking here. Avisail Garcia is set to be around in 2016, but is he a better player than J.B. Shuck? Both have below-average career offensive number (90 wRC+ for Avisail, 83 wRC+ for Shuck), but whereas Shuck outperformed Avisail in 2015 (91 to 83), Garcia at least has shown a career-long ability for mild success against lefties (.284/.341/.424, 107 wRC+), which could be useful in spots.

But that gets to the core of the matter; neither of these guys are worth a starting spot, which significantly changes the calculus on a roster spot. Garcia has larger potential overall for fulltime value, but for a bench spot, the guy who can run, defend up the middle, hell, even bunt, is going to be more useful to a manager than a pinch-hitter against lefties. Now let’s just hope New Year’s bring us a new bat in the form of Justin Upton, definitely something worth waiting for. TheCatbirdSeatBlog.com

ince the Blackhawks acquired defenseman Rob Scuderi for Trevor Daley earlier this month, head coach Joel Quenneville has been playing Scuderi alongside fellow old-asdirt defenseman Michal Roszival most of the time. And in a turn of event that should surprise no one, the performance of that pair of two old, slow defensemen has been bad. The issues that Scuderi’s presence in the lineup cause are numerous, but the most prominent is that it doesn’t allow Quenneville to ice a competent third defensive pair that he can rely on in the tough situations. He knows that the Scuderi-Roszival pair is going to be dominated in the possession game, and as such, he has searched for ways to negate that.

“We’ve got really 10 defensemen we’re comfortable playing at any point, whether it’s injuries or trying to put a new player in there,” said GM Stan Bowman. “It’s nice that we have options. We haven’t had that kind of depth maybe in previous years, where we [now] have 10 guys that can easily play and you’re wondering if they can handle it.” His default solution to this issue so far has been to play Scuderi and Roszival behind the line of Artemi Panarin, Artem Anisimov, and Patrick Kane. The idea there is likely that the Blackhawks best offensive line will drive the play, keep the puck in the offensive zone, and create scoring chances so that the other team cannot do that against the putrid third pair. However, this has not worked out as Quenneville has intended. That line hasn’t played well

when on the ice with the third pair, and this past Sunday’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes showed that very well. While the possession numbers for the third pair were not actually horrible, as Scuderi and Rozsival were a +5 and +6 in the possession game, respectively, the Panarin-Anisimov-Kane line looked horrible. They could never truly get play going in their direction, and their numbers reflect it. Between the three of them, there were just two scoring chances, both belonging to Anismov. They also did not do well in possession department, as Kane was a -1, Panarin a -2, and Anisimov a -5 in shot attempts. That is horrible, and is clearly not what the Blackhawks need to get out of their best offensive line. As such, it’s time for Quenneville to stop

anchoring his best line with his worst defensive pair. Moreover, it’s probably time to stop playing Rob Scuderi, and Monday’s recall of Erik Gustafsson from Rockford indicates that change is probably coming. Quenneville needs to play Gustafsson in those situations that Roszival and Scuderi have been in, as Goose is a much better puck mover than the other two, and that is the change the blue line needs. If Panarin, Kane, and Anisimov get a strong skating, puck moving defenseman behind them, they have a much better chance of improving their play and getting back to the level they were at earlier this season.

“He’s had a variety of receivers,” Fox said. “It’s not an excuse; it’s just a reality and when you figure that in, he’s had a very good season.” The running back-by-committee plan helped keep the clock running for the Bears, as Carey, Matt Forte and Langford combined for over 150 total yards on the ground, while Cutler added two dashes of his own. “We definitely showed that three backs is definitely better than one,” said Carey. “Everybody did their job and we got the win.” “We can’t afford to think about what back is in and what their style is,” guard Matt Slauson told chicagobears.com. “We’re just going to block the way we block and they’re running with their heads down and they’re trying to find contact and that’s great.” An early special-teams disaster put Chicago in yet another first-quarter hole. After a three-and-out series on their second possession of the game, punter Patrick O’Donnell had his kick blocked deep in Bears territory, and Tampa capitalized with a four-yard scoring run by Doug Martin on the following play. The Bears defense would cause the rest of the

takeaways from there with undrafted rookies Jon Anderson and Harold Jones-Quartey each forcing big turnovers. Jones-Quartey intercepted Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and hit Martin for a fumble, and Anderson knocked Martin for a second fumble, this one essentially sealing the victory. “They earn that,” said Fox. “Those guys did that. I didn’t do it. Their coach didn’t do it. They did it. This profession is about opportunity and when opportunity knocks, you bust the door down. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a first-round pick, a college free agent or a seventh-round pick. It’s just a matter of producing when you’re on the field.” Tampa would draw the score closer with a last-season heave from Winston to tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, but the effort was for naught as time expired on the ensuing onside kick. Injuries again hampered the Bears at key positions. Second-round draft pick Eddie Goldman, one of the season’s bright spots on defense, was taken from the field after an ankle injury, and Forte spent the bulk of the second half on the sideline getting treatment for a back injury. While Forte expects to play this Sunday’s season finale against Detroit, Goldman is questionable for the match.

No Lovie lost for Bears in Tampa By Nate Johnson

A Columnist

ny thoughts that the Bears had packed it in for the season were dashed on Sunday, as Chicago went into Tampa Bay and ended a three-game losing streak with a 26-21 win over the Buccaneers. Despite being without the injured Alshon Jeffery for the sixth time this year, Jay Cutler

managed another quality performance. “He’s done it all season,” coach John Fox said Monday. “He missed the second half of the Arizona game and wasn’t able to play against Seattle. For six quarters when he wasn’t in there, you feel it. The rest of the games he gives you a chance.” The quarterback turned in another interception-free performance while completing 20 of his 27 passes, one of which found third-string

running back Ka’Deem Carey in the end zone for a touchdown. “We had a play action to Ka’Deem that came off of it,” said Cutler, “so the more dynamic guys you have on the field, the better, so that’s just kind of what we’re trying to do.” Carey also scored on a 1-yard run, which combined with four field goals from Robbie Gould for all of the points the team would need. Cutler’s performance was notable in that it

made him the only quarterback in the league with at least ten starts this year without a game throwing multiple interceptions. Considering this is the same man who led the NFL in turnovers a season ago, the effect of first-year offensive coordinator Adam Gase is fairly apparent, especially given the mix of targets he’s had to throw to.
