Hundreds of utility workers from Illinois to help after Irma

Misfortune strikes again for White NFL Back Cover

Ameren Illinois officials say that more than 200 employees and contract workers are on their way to help with recovery efforts after Hurricane Irma.

The storm struck Florida over the weekend and more than 7 million homes and businesses were without power in several states. Ameren Illinois spokesman Brian Bretsch tells The State JournalRegister that line repair, tree trimmer and electrical substation workers left Marion in southern Illinois early Monday. The crews include 35 Ameren employees and 190 contract workers.

Chicago-based Commonwealth Edison is sending about 200 employees and contract workers to the region.

Bretsch says it’s possible that Ameren Illinois will send more workers to Florida.

The utility still has about 45 contract employees in Houston nearly two weeks after Hurricane Harvey.

County

County budget picture blurred by misunderstandings, misrepresentations

By John Guevara

L Contributor

et’s be clear: Had the Winnebago County Board raised property taxes every year from the 2011 budget until today, there would not be a budget deficit.

Republican county board members Frank Gambino, John F. Sweeney, and Kyle Logan, fought to rewrite the FY2011 budget without a tax increase. At the time, the general fund balance was $10.341 million dollars. When the county board passed the FY 2017 budget, the general fund balance was $13.033 million dollars.

Today, Winnebago County is facing a budget deficit of almost $8 million dollars. The proposed budget includes a $4.3 million dollar cut to the sheriff’s budget, cuts he argues will be devas-

tating for public safety. There are a few things taxpayers need to know before the county board votes for the budget or for any possible property tax increase.

County revenues have increased AND decreased, so which is it?

Have you ever seen Return of the Jedi?

If you have, you’ll remember when Luke Skywalker questions Obi Wan Kenobi’s apparent lie about Luke’s father. Obi Wan’s response was, “Luke, you’re going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.”

You may have heard county revenues have decreased by $8 million since 2008, and fund balance spending has increased $18 million dollars ($5 million in the health care fund and $13 million between the general fund and public safety sales tax fund).

This is where “the point of view” comes in. If we measure revenues from 2005 we find that both general fund and the public safety sales tax fund have INCREASED. If we measure fund balances from the FY2008 budget to the FY2017, we find that fund balance spending isn’t as

steep as $18 million dollars.

County revenues increased steadily until the Great Recession. After the dramatic loss of revenue between 2009 and 2011, revenues have recovered and steadily increased.

Even so, the fund balances for the general fund have increased from $8.893 million dollars in FY2005 to $13.033 million dollars when the FY2017 budget was passed last September. The public safety sales tax fund balance has fallen from $19.166 million to $12.494 million over the same period.

This means that the county has only lost $2.5 million between 2005 and the passing of the 2017 budget, not $13 million.

So past boards did not spend like drunken sailors. Instead, they worked to shift public safety spending from property taxes to the sales tax in order to reduce the local property tax burden. The county’s credit rating is evidence of that work, having improved steadily over the past decade.

Who’s to blame?

The state of Illinois has created a system where government functions will inevitably fail without tax increases.

Counties and cities with “home rule” suffer even more, because they can increase taxes at will without a referendum from the voters.

The latest state budget will take over $2 million dollars from Winnebago County coffers. This is the state’s way of hiking taxes even more and leaving local elected officials holding the bag.

County Board Chairman Frank Haney thinks that the tipping point has been reached to discuss both tax increases and reductions in health care costs. The health care costs have skyrocketed for the county while very little of those costs have been absorbed by employees.

The county chose to pass on an ICE

detention center in the jail, which could have meant $3 million in incremental revenue, and potentially reduced the cuts in the sheriff’s department by 70 percent. Opponents to the center, including congressional candidate and lawyer Sara Dady, argued that an ICE center would result in decreased economic activity and less cooperation with law enforcement. And Sheriff Caruana himself said that the proposal did not meet his requirements.

And the MRO facility at the airport has only generated a quarter of the jobs projected by this stage in its development. 250 jobs are better than none, though it looks like county taxpayers may shoulder the whole burden for the project because there still isn’t a federal grant in the works to cover its $10 million obligations. And that hold up has delayed the state’s $15 million, leaving residents of Winnebago County left holding the tab.

What can we do?

The county board will not vote until the last meeting of the month, Sept. 28.

Call your county board member. Tell them what you think.

Consider Gary Jury’s plan to cut paychecks across the board instead of laying people off.

Write letters to The Times and the Register Star, telling them what you think.

Check the county website for notices on when committees will be meeting and sign up to speak before those meetings.

Get there early, and don’t be afraid to ask where the signup sheet is.

We have a republic if we can keep it.

Government only happens when we don’t show up. This is our chance to be heard. Let’s leave no doubt where we stand. R. John Guevara is a former Winnebago County Board Member.

Illinois sees drop in Labor Day weekend road fatalities

RockRiverTimes.com.

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois State Police say there was a steep drop in fatal traffic crashes over the Labor Day weekend this year compared with last year.

State police released figures Tuesday showing five fatal traffic crashes this year, compared with 19 last year, and five fatalities this year compared with 23 in 2016. State police handled nearly 200 crashes during the holiday weekend.

Illinois State Police Director Leo Schmitz says it was one of the safest Labor Day travel weekends in the last six years. But he says state police will continue working to reduce the number of fatalities.

State police issued more than 6,000 citations and nearly 4,000 warnings for offenses like speeding and not wearing seatbelts.

“This was one of the safest Labor Day travel weekends we’ve experienced in Illinois in the last six years,”said ISP Director Leo P. Schmitz. “Five fatalities is still five too many. There were people who had their life torn apart because they lost a loved one due to a fatal traffic crash.”

Police officials say the information is based on provisional reports from the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Illinois’ backlog of bills has put pressure on small businesses that do business with the state, but there could soon be some relief.

Gov. Bruce Rauner announced last week that the state will borrow $6 billion to pay off some of its $15 billion backlog of bills, and the Illinois comptroller’s office says it will prioritize payments to individual medical vendors that are owed, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars each.

Some of the hardest hit vendors providing services to the state are dentists across Illinois who serve state employees. Even dentists in other states who work on Illinois state government retirees are owed tens of thousands of dollars apiece.

Illinois State Dental Society Government Relations Director Dave Marsh said a growing number of dentists are owed hundreds of thousands.

“It’s up to a million dollars for a number of dentists,” Marsh said, “but we did run a list of the dentists and what they’re owed and many, many of them are substantially over a half-a-million.”

Blago mops prison floors, maintains innocence

CHICAGO — More than five years into his 14-year sentence on corruption convictions, Rod Blagojevich, who once held the highest office in Illinois, finds himself on cleaning duty at a Colorado federal prison.

“I’ve been given the jurisdiction to sweep and mop two floors,” he said in an interview with WMAQ-TV in Chicago from prison released Monday, along with an interview in Chicago magazine. “So my jurisdiction has shrunk from the fifth biggest state in America, to these two floors. But I don’t care what anybody says, I believe in clean government, and I believe in clean floors.”

Blagojevich still maintains his innocence and hopes to make another appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The 60-year-old reported to prison in 2012 after he was convicted on several counts, including for trying to sell former President Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat.

The former governor is now housed in a lower-security section of the prison and said he spends time running on the prison track, working out in the weight room and reading. His fellow prisoners gave him a care package when he first

Marsh said some dentists owed as much as a million dollars are unable to invest in and grow their small business.

“They’re maxed out on their borrowing,” Marsh said of some dentists. “They’ve taken second mortgages out on their homes just to keep operating, and many of them have reached into their retirement plans to borrow money.”

Marsh urged the state to pay down the heaviest debt burden owed to dentists quicker to make a real dent in the backlog, which he said is about $157 million and growing $40 million every quarter.

Comptroller Communications Director Abdon Pallasch said that’s the plan.

“So those bills will get paid,” Pallasch said, “and taxpayers will no longer be on the hook for this 12 percent interest that we’re paying on these bills.”

Pallasch said nearly half of the $15 billion backlog is tagged with the 12 percent interest rate.

Rauner announced the $6 billion in borrowing in hopes of getting a lower interest rate.

A statement from Rauner’s office last week said the “Income Tax Proceed Bonds

must be issued before Dec. 31, 2017, and must be used to pay for expenses vouchered from general funds or state employees’ group health insurance costs that were incurred before July 1, 2017.”

Pallasch said another priority when the bond proceeds come in is to pay past due Medicaid bills and get some federal matching dollars.

“We will increase the value of the $6 billion through some of the federal matching funds,” Pallasch said, “but we’ve still got a long way to go.”

Rauner’s office indicated how the state will pay off the bonds.

“Bonds issued under this authority must be paid within 12 years from the date of the sale,” the governor’s statement said, “and require level principal payments each year.

For example, a $6 billion issuance would require 12 annual principal payments of $500 million, plus interest payments depending on the interest rate.”

Rauner said he wants lawmakers to come back this fall to close what he said is a billion dollar budget hole, and to pass meaningful reforms that will grow the economy and save taxpayers money.

arrived, he said.

“You walk in there on the first day and your heart’s broken,” he says. “You’re in there and then they close the gates on you, and you’re in prison. And you’re yearning for your children and your wife and your home, and you’re looking at 14 years.”

Blagojevich sees his family on average three times a year.

“What sustains me during this very difficult long hard trial is the love I have for my children and my wife Patti,” he said.

Blagojevich said he is optimistic about the future.

“Even if the world misunderstands you, criticizes you and say you’re crazy, take a stand,” he said. “Because you know what the truth is. And when you do it, my experience tells me, trust in God.”

such as installing underwater sound equipment and electric barriers.

The first hearing was held Monday in Chicago.

The second is scheduled for Thursday at Muskegon Community College in Muskegon, Michigan, and the third will be Sept. 18 at Joliet Junior College in Joliet.

The meetings are being broadcast live on the Army corps’ Rock Island District Facebook page.

Feedback sought on plan to keep Asian carp from Great Lakes

MUSKEGON, Mich. — Federal officials are hosting three public meetings this week to get feedback on a plan to prevent Asian carp from slipping into the Great Lakes and threatening native fish species.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a proposal in August to block the invasive fish at a lock-and-dam complex in Joliet, a choke point between the carp-infested Illinois River and Lake Michigan.

U of I to connect DACA students with legal help

URBANA — University of Illinois officials say they can’t provide legal help to students affected by changes to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program but that they’ll try to connect them with lawyers.

On Sept. 5, President Donald Trump’s administration began dismantling DACA, the government program protecting young immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children.

New applications will be halted for the program, which has provided nearly 800,000 young immigrants a reprieve from deportation and the ability to work legally in the U.S. The News-Gazette reports that two lawyers who are alumni of the university will be available to meet one-on-one with students concerned about the administration’s plans to repeal the program in March.

University officials say the lawyers will connect students with direct legal help if needed.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Extreme weather events call for response

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL

I

CONTRIBUTORS

n one of the last professional conversations we had with Frank Schier, we discussed whether or not to continue presenting the case for climate change in our column. Some friends and contacts advised we drop the references to it and just promote renewable energy. While we never intended to drop any references, Frank’s advice was that we should continue referring to climate change.

The increase in intensity and frequency of hurricanes, floods, droughts and wildfires now impacting the United States are consistent with what scientists have predicted would result from the impact of human activities on the climate and the health of the planet.

This past spring NOAA pointed out that the oceans and air temperatures over them were higher than normal and predicted an active hurricane season characterized by more powerful storms.

While the dynamics of hurricanes are not fully understood, scientists remain confident that warmer temperatures produce more powerful storms. Energy from the warmer waters is transferred to the air increasing wind speeds. With warmer air, more moisture from the ocean accumulates in the atmosphere leading to heavy rainfalls. These conclusions are derived from basic principles of physics.

While the Gulf Coast struggles with strong winds and heavy rainfalls, the West is enduring warmer temperatures and extremely dry conditions leading to crop losses and extensive forest fires.

Some of these impacts are associated with climate.

One of the reasons among many to address climate change is that it justifies the call for renewable energy and e�ciency. As these technologies are increasingly economically competitive, they can be sold based on economic grounds alone. In some cases, that is the only reason people will install them.

With the strengthened economic case for them, it is important not to lose sight of environmental impacts of the dominant economic models which do not adequately incorporate those costs into the price of goods and services. A carbon tax and regulatory solutions are two basic approaches to incorporating environmental consequences into economic transactions:. Both involve governmental action which appears rather dim given the goals of our current administration.

With current national priorities, attention has turned to individual, local and state actions advancing renewable energy and e�ciency. In Illinois, the prospect for renewable energy and e�ciency are more

favorable as state policies are developed to support such actions via utility and government programs. Opportunities to upgrade energy e�ciency in the home, transportation and food exist for individuals.

But the scale of the changes needed far exceeds the desirable individual actions.

With the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, increasing attention is focused on the need to hold those interests responsible for releasing the majority of climate change gases accountable. The Climate Accountability Institute has published several studies linking how much the products of

specific companies have contributed to rising global temperatures and sea level increases. The intent of the studies is to determine who is responsible for climate change and who should pay for its ever rising costs.

The high costs and emotional stress of increasingly extreme weather events suggest our existing model of economic development has failed to adequately take into consideration its adverse environmental, social and economic costs. Climate scientists have warned for decades about the possible consequences of continuing to release high levels of climate changing gases with limited impact on energy policies and government actions.

Most of us want medical care based on the best scientific information available at the time which continues to evolve as more research improves our understandings. The best information on climate change indicates we can expect more extreme weather events if we fail to dramatically reduce the emissions of climate changing gases.

Solutions exist, but we have yet to fully implement them.

Commentary

Despite process, they passed a decent law

By Rich Miller

L

Capitol Fax

ost in much of the hoopla over the process of passing school funding reform through the Illinois General Assembly is the fact that this is a pretty darned good and far-reaching bill.

While this legislation is far from perfect and doesn’t provide an immediate fix, it finally puts the state on a path to equitable school funding based on the concept of actual local need. It’s a complicated process and may have to be adjusted and it will require lots more money from the state, but it sure beats the heck out of dumping money year after year into a dysfunctional formula that benefited the rich and trapped the poor.

And in times of state fiscal strife, the new formula protects state funding for the neediest districts at the expense of wealthier districts. It’s tough to argue with that concept.

The local mandate relief is minor, but still somewhat significant. Most local school district mandate waivers are approved by the General Assembly, but that often takes time. This legislation would give the four legislative leaders extraordinary power to expedite those

waivers. If at least three of the four leaders aren’t thrilled with a request, it will go through the usual legislative process.

Otherwise, the waivers will be automatically granted.

Physical education requirements would be rolled back from five days per week to three, and more students who play sports can be exempted from PE. Drivers’ education can be outsourced to private companies, which is the norm in many other states.

One of the realities exposed by this debate is the number of school districts that have built up gigantic cash reserves.

The new law will allow local voters to reduce their districts’ educational property tax levy by up to 10 percent, but only if the levy isn’t lowered below what’s considered to be 110 percent of “adequacy.” The political bar is also pretty high.

Ten percent of all registered voters in a school district would have to sign a petition to get the measure on the ballot.

The new income tax credit for donations to private school scholarship programs is expected to be a boon for some schools. But it could also eventually turn out to be a bane. Whenever you take government money, you have to follow the government’s rules. If this tax credit

program is renewed in five years when it’s due to sunset, you can probably bet that eligibility requirements will be tightened to protect kids who aren’t being properly served by the private and parochial school systems right now.

Also, when ultraconservative legislators like Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, and far-left groups like the Chicago Teachers Union are vocally opposing a bill, you know you may be on the right track.

Rep. Ives has been allied with the far-right Illinois Policy Institute against the education funding reform bill from the start. Opponents of the evidencedbased model have privately railed against it as “redistributionist.” And they’re right because it is specifically designed to do just that while holding all schools harmless unless the state can’t meet its funding goals.

Despite the new law’s income tax credit for private school tuition programs, the Institute and its allies were the biggest losers. The Policy Institute’s takeover of the governor’s office resulted in a massively unpopular amendatory veto that Gov. Rauner had to eventually abandon or risk being overridden again.

Like the Institute, the Chicago Teachers Union has been harping about

the evils of Tax Increment Financing Districts for years. But all those TIF opponents got in the end was a legislative study commission. Maybe something will come of it, but those commissions tend to produce studies that wind up collecting dust on somebody’s forgotten book shelf.

Only this time, it’ll probably be online dust, if that’s possible.

The CTU may have tipped its hand about its true intentions during its briefing of House Democrats a day before that chamber voted, by the way.

While public schools have been hurt by all the new charter schools, CTU President Karen Lewis told legislators that Catholic schools have been “decimated” by the charters. The city’s Catholic school system once rivaled the size of the public system, Lewis explained, but they’ve been forced to close a ton of schools and this scholarship program would help revive its moribund system.

So, by attempting to kill the education funding reform bill, which pumped hundreds of millions of new dollars into the Chicago Public Schools, the city’s only teachers union might have hoped to finally kill off its main private, nonunion competitor.

All’s well that ends well.

Groups like this one are working in their own communities all around the country.

Water-proof?

You said it Despite efforts to smother, ACA enrollment opens Nov. 1

After the GOP was unable to kill the Affordable Care Act, the Trump administration began slowly, quietly smothering it. They cut this year’s enrollment period in half (Nov. 1 to Dec. 15). Then they cut the advertising budget, used to tell people when and how to enroll, by 90 percent.

They’ve prorated the grants to groups that help people enroll based on their success last year. Making it difficult for new organizations to join the fight. The grants that are being awarded are being delayed until just before the start of the enrollment period. Most of these groups are non-profits and can’t act until they receive funds. Many Americans don’t realize the ACA is being smothered right before their eyes.

There are groups not only staying informed, but picking up the ball Trump and the GOP intentionally grounded and running with it. One group, the ACA Sign Up Project, used supporters’ social media accounts for a one-time post of enrollment dates and other information.

CASA makes a difference in Illinois communities

I am writing this letter on behalf of the Lee and Ogle County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates-for Children). I have been fortunate to join the CASA Board in the last couple of months and am beyond impressed for what CASA does for our community. As with all things in life “it takes a village” and CASA is not different. There is no greater responsibility to our communities than to take care of our children. I recommend that everyone find a way to have a positive impact for CASA. For people who want to make a big

The hyper-development that made the Houston-area one of the most desirous places to live in the United States was clearly not the predominant cause of the epic flooding of the two weeks, but it certainly was a contributing factor.

The same might be said of the causal relationship between increased tiling of fields and the epic flooding that our area experienced back in July.

It finally a worthy King adaptation

By Thomas Simpson Contributor

After The Dark Tower underwhelmed, the eyes of audiences turned to another of Stephen King’s works about to hit the big screen, It. Like The Dark Tower, It has been in production for quite some time and has seen its fair share of issues along the way. When director Cary Fukunaga left the project in 2015 the film seemed dead in the water, with King himself hinting that it wasn’t going to happen.

It didn’t take long for the studio to find a replacement, Andrés Muschietti taking over the reins. However, Will Poulter, who was cast as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, pulled out adding more groans to the already troubled project.

Bill Skarsgård was cast in the part as fans awaited the first footage with gritted teeth. And it was worth the wait.

Set in 1988, children have been going

missing in Derry with no clues as to their whereabouts. Bill (Jaeden Lieberher) is upset when his young brother meets the same fate. But he is adamant that Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott) isn’t dead and vows to find him. He has his friends, collectively known as the “Loser Club,” to help. But there is an evil at play in Derry, one that the children may be ill equipped to battle.

Muschietti wastes no time in introducing us to Pennywise and the horror both are planning on unleashing. It preys on your childhood fears while showing that not all things go bump in the night. There is nowhere for the children to hide as the demonic presence has no hesitation in terrorizing the kids in broad daylight. It’s in those dark and silent moments that will make you squirm most and have you second guessing whether the shadow moved at all.

Skarsgård is excellent in the role of Pennywise, filling the screen with a primal menace and a twisted grin that will make your blood run cold. His washed-out clothing is a stark contrast to the bright colors of Tim Curry, who played Pennywise in the 1990 miniseries.

Credit goes to Skarsgård for not trying to imitate Curry’s performance. He makes it his own, presenting a less jovial (make no mistake, Curry was terrifying) clown, instead, looking to inflict nothing but fear into his victims, both on and off screen.

The young cast is exceptional and creates a great bond. Their chemistry as friends is natural as they banter and talk as kids would do. The dialogue never feels forced, as screenwriters Chase Palmer, and Gary Dauberman (Cary Fukunaga also keeps his credit) strip away unnecessary exposition and includes some

brilliantly placed humor that never detracts from the film as a horror.

The film feels long yet doesn’t drag and while it packs a lot in, it leaves you wanting more. The Losers Club is instantly likable while the monsters, both Pennywise and school bully Henry Bowers (Nicholas Hamilton) are utterly reprehensible, making this a clear-cut story of good vs evil with no room for gray. It’s a simple premise — a horror film with a lot of heart, good intentions and a chilling antagonist that will scare audiences whether they’re familiar with the demonic character or not. Scary, funny, heart-warming and repulsive.

It stakes its claim as one of King’s best adaptations, and although I’d disagree that it deserves top billing, there’s certainly an argument to be had. R. Thomas is a writer and filmmaker based in Glasgow, U.K. Find him on Twitter: @Simmy41.

RACVB View

Rockford Rain Art returns Rockford Rain Art is BACK! This fun and interactive public art installation, part of the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Forest City Beautiful initiative, is back again this fall with additional locations and partners! The art is on display at 22 locations throughout the downtown River District, Midtown District, SwedishAmerican Hospital campus and the Miracle Mile.

Rockford Rain Art aims to bring a bit of joy to what might be a gloomy, rainy day.

The art is visible only when the sidewalk is wet! So, if rain isn’t in the forecast, grab a bottle of water and create your own rain!

“We are excited to have this fun-filled and interactive art project back again for the second year,” said Josh Albrecht, RACVB Director of Marketing & Public Affairs. “We are happy to announce that thanks to the help of Rockford

Community Partners, the art has been expanded to 22 locations this year to give more people the opportunity to interact with the temporary art designs.”

The art is installed on the sidewalks and is only visible when it rains (or if someone brings along a bottle of water, water balloon, bucket of water, etc.) The paint is environmentally friendly and will last for 2-4 months.

Collaborating with Rockford Community Partners, the River District Association, Midtown District, Miracle Mile, and SwedishAmerican, RACVB is working with Rockford-based OC Creative for the project installation and execution. OC Creative launched a similar initiative called Project Liquid Sunshine in spring 2016.

TUBE TALK

When bad things happen to good TVs

BY PAULA HENDRICKSON

L

CONTRIBUTOR

ate Monday afternoon I realized I hadn’t see any updates the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, so I turned the TV on. And about a minute later it turned itself o�.

Permanently.

It was about five years old, and in its short lifespan, my TV was treated very well. I used the special microfiber cloth to dust it every week. I never threw anything at it—not even during the vicious 2016 presidential campaign, which started well before 2016.

The red stand-by light, which had been glowing since the TV was first plugged in, was dark. For a moment I thought I’d tripped a circuit, but the cable box was on and DVD player was in stand-by mode. I checked all of the connections.

Everything was securely plugged in. Next I skimmed the troubleshooting chart in owner’s manual for power lights going dark. Nothing. I unplugged the TV, waited a few minutes, and tried again. Still no signs of life.

I called the manufacture’s number, certain they’d have one more trick to try.

They didn’t.

“Sounds like the power board died,” the tech on the other end of the line said.

“That doesn’t sound good. Can I fix it?”

“No. It’s inside the TV, so an authorized service technician would need to replace it. And since your TV is over a year old, it’s no longer under warranty, so that would probably be pretty expensive,” he said with no emotion or empathy.

“But it’s not even five years old, and there hasn’t been a single hint that it might go out.”

He finally o�ered a glimmer of hope.

“You could try unplugging it for an hour or so, then plugging it back it. But if that works, remember, it’s just temporary.”

I gave that a try, wondering how a “dead” power board could possibly come back to life after an hour-long rest. It didn’t work.

The TV is an o�-brand I hadn’t heard of before my extended family gave it to me one Christmas as the biggest surprise I’ve probably ever had. I looked for local

TV repair places that listed it among the brands they service but it never showed up. Repairing it didn’t look like a viable option. And being my only TV, what would I–someone who writes about TV for a living—do without it while it was being repaired?

(This is when I also decided to look for a much smaller TV for my o�ce during the upcoming holiday sales. I could use it to watch preview DVDs and for streaming, and it could be a back-up TV for the next time my main TV dies.)

I quickly realized how big a part of my daily routine TV is. I knew I could stream some shows on my iPad or Kindle Fire, but it’s not the same. No local news. No national news. No Weather Channel. I like watching things in real time, when possible.

I polled friends and family about their TVs—what they love, what they hate, which features are worth paying more for or not—and reading product reviews of the newer models on the market.

My old TV was HD, so I thought I’d look at the same size 1080p HD TVs. But

no. Now you have HD, Full HD, and 4K/ Ultra HD. There are Smart TVs, too. Even curved TVs. And do you want it in LED, LCD, or plasma? It’s so confusing. And my “big” TV is now considered fairly small.

All I want is a decent Full HD TV that fits the space.

Considering how short modern TV lifespans tend to be, it seems silly to pay more for Ultra HD since there isn’t much 4K content to watch. While Xfinity o�ers a 4K “sampler package,” do I really want to pay more for that, too? No. That can wait until my next TV dies, which is probably only another five or six years anyway. Maybe by then there will be enough 4K programming to be worth the extra cost.

Thankfully a friend had a spare 28” TV to lend me until I can replace my TV. That takes the pressure o� so I can take a few days to decide which make and model best fits my needs and budget.

One thing is sure: It won’t be one of those monstrous TVs that take up an entire wall. That’s overkill. R.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: GEMINI, CANCER AND LEO

Week of September 3 to 9, 2017

Age matters when it comes to cervical cancer screening ARIES

Your health may slow you down a little. Take it as an opportunity to pull back and take stock of your future, both professional and personal.

TAURUS

By Lauran Neergaard AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Getting checked for cervical cancer isn’t one-size-fits-all: Millions of women may soon have to decide between a routine Pap or a newer test that detects if they have a cancer-causing virus.

Draft national guidelines released Tuesday for the first time say either option is reasonable for certain women — those ages 30 to 65.

Paps, a mainstay for women’s health for decades, can spot pre-cancerous abnormalities in time to prevent cancer. Newer HPV tests detect the virus that causes nearly all of that cancer, and while they’re widely used to confirm Pap results, most U.S. medical groups haven’t yet pushed them as a standalone alternative for screening.

Tuesday’s proposal doesn’t signal an imminent end to the Pap era. Paps, not HPV tests, still are recommended for screening women in their 20s, stressed the guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

And don’t let the which-test debate blur the main message: “Screening for cervical cancer saves lives,” said Task Force member Dr. Carol Mangione of the University of California, Los Angeles.

Today, too many women still miss out.

Some things to know:

Cervical cancer still a threat: Cervical cancer has dropped dramatically over the past half-century thanks to Pap testing. Still, this year an estimated 12,820 U.S. women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer, and about 4,200 will die. Most haven’t been screened, or have gone too long between checks.

Paps examine cells scraped from the cervix. HPV testing looks for high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus, the nation’s most common sexually transmitted infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just about everyone will get at least one strain at some point in their lives. But only certain strains cause cervical cancer — and only if they linger long enough in the body.

Age matters for screening:

Otherwise healthy women need a Pap every three years from age 21 to 29, agree most U.S. physician groups and the draft Task Force guidelines. Cervical cancer grows so slowly that regular Paps can find a problem early enough to treat.

While the Food and Drug Administration has approved an HPV test for women as young as 25, national guidelines have long recommended Pap screening for 20-somethings. That age group is most likely to get HPV — and the vast majority of the time their bodies clear the infection before it harms.

Stress may be here, there and everywhere, but see it for what it is: What changes at age of30? a fountain energy with the power to The older you get,bolster the greater the chance your efficiency.

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: VIRGO, LIBRA AND SCORPIO

Horoscope Week of September 10 to 16, 2017 ARIES

You won’t mince your words, even if what you have to say may be misconstrued. Afterward you will have to lead by example to make sure you were clearly understood.

TAURUS

Some unexpected expenses may pop up, but you will be resourceful in negotiating a loan with your bank manager to avoid having to tighten your belt too much.

GEMINI

Expect a lot of action. You should be able to carry out a feat that will be talked about a lot. A nice pay hike is in the cards at work following the signing of a big contract.

CANCER

Take a moment to reflect before starting any project. You are not likely to ask for anybody’s advice, even if your decisions affect others.

LEO

Stress will be a big part of your week and you will have to rest, otherwise your health may send you signals to slow down. A little relaxation will go a long way.

VIRGO

Even though you have a tight schedule and many professional and family responsibilities, take the time to unwind and visit good friends you’ve neglected lately.

LIBRA

If you’ve been neglecting your relationship because of work, it’s time to think about taking a romantic holiday to reconnect with your better half.

SCORPIO

There will be a lot of emotion in the air! A situation could move you deeply. One of your children will accomplish something special, if only baby steps.

SAGITTARIUS

You will carefully weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Even if you have all the information you require, intuition will be your best guide.

CAPRICORN

Lots of work is on the horizon and many details will need sorting out.

You should also finalize an agreement or settle a legal dispute, which should be a windfall for you.

AQUARIUS

You will have to look your best. You will take the time to spoil yourself, renew your wardrobe or maybe even treat yourself to a full makeover. One way or another, you’ll be putting your best foot forward.

PISCES

You will devote a lot of time to your home and family life. You may also engage in a seemingly ordinary family activity that will turn out to be an absolute delight.

Mr. Green Car

Walmart embraces green trucking

By Allen Penticoff

W

Columnist

hile doing some research for my presentation at the IREA Renewable Energy Fair, I came upon some interesting news regarding advances in large truck propulsion.

There is much development going on in semi-tractor trailer propulsion and design, but for this story, I’ll limit what is happening with the Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience (WAVE) prototype design.

Walmart operates one of the largest private fleets of trucks in the nation.

In 2005 Walmart stated it intended to achieve fleet fuel efficiency increases of 100 percent by 2015. As of 2016, they have increased fleet efficiency by 84 percent. They also have a goal to operate their massive fleet entirely on renewable biofuels.

Walmart has moved its distribution centers nearer to the major metropolitan centers it serves. This not only reduces the number of miles that the trucks drive daily, but also enables future electric trucks to take advantage of regenerative braking to produce power rather than a long-haul trucks that will need to burn fuel to maintain highway speed.

Electrified trucks will operate entirely on electric power in cities, reducing fuel consumed and air pollution.

A prototype new tractor-trailer has been built. Roush Engineering acted as general contractor using a number of different contractors to build the machine. The tractor was built by Peterbilt, the trailer by Great Dane and the microturbine engine by Capstone.

The design features a series-hybrid electric drive and small “micro” turbine engine. Much like a Chevy Volt, the truck can operate on electricity in urban areas for short distances up until the 45 kWh battery pack is down to 50 percent when the turbine engine will start to provide the electricity that the motor needs.

Walmart has begun work on bringing hybrid technology to its vast over-the-road fleet. about 25-28 percent, boosted some by the electric drive. It has “air bearings” so that no oil is needed to operate the engine. No radiator is needed, so the chassis can be very streamlined. It is small and lightweight and can operate pretty much on anything that can burn – diesel, compressed natural gas, liquid natural gas and biofuels. It can also operate at one steady speed which can be optimized for efficiency. The driver can select a mode to charge the batteries while the vehicle is stationary.

Aerodynamics plays a big part in the efficiency of this big rig. Overall the streamlined truck has reduced drag by

20 percent. That yields a fuel efficiency increase of 10 percent on its own. The cab is placed over the engine bay and is on center. This makes for a shorter more efficient design, yet accommodates a sleeping area for the driver.

Great Dane Trailers was tapped to provide the cargo trailer. They designed and built the trailer almost entirely in carbon-fiber material. This saves 4,000 pounds of weight – more efficient when empty, and able to haul more cargo on deliveries. The forklift rating for the bed is 16,000 pounds. It too has an aerodynamically efficient design in a rounded nose, skirts and covered tires.

It does not appear to use a tail cone, however. The tail cone is most effective in long-haul trucking – so I can see where they’d leave them off for all the short daily trips a distribution center truck does.

While not installed in the WAVE, General Electric has recently patented a combination fuel cell/turbine hybrid that reaches an efficiency of 70 percent. With this technology, natural gas can be both burned in the engine, and refined into hydrogen for the fuel cell during normal operation. Both then producing power for the electric drive motors to use. Mr. Green Car will be looking further into this and other trucking technology for a future report. R.

Organic matters for your soil

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Fall is a good time to address your garden’s organic matter needs.

Organic matter is material that is added to the soil that breaks down and enhances the soil. Examples of organic matter are leaves, manure, compost, brush, grass, straw, and many others. Each of these do not have a high concentration of the macronutrients our crops need like Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (N-P-K).

However, there are some great benefits to adding organic matter.

When organic matter breaks down, it will go to the soil organic matter.

The soil organic matter, or SOM, is 1-5 percent of the total soil. As a reminder, soil is also made up of oxygen, water, and mineral solids. Oxygen and water are 25 percent of the total soil and mineral solids around 45 percent. The concern with adding to the soil organic matter is that 95 percent of soil nitrogen and 40 percent of soil phosphorus is located within the 1-5 percent of SOM. When you add organic matter to the soil, soil microbial communities break it down. Through this competition, nutrients are released. The organic matter will also aid the soil in helping to address compaction, water/ nutrient holding capacity, and making the soil easier to work with.

You want to think about your soil

management as a two-fold approach.

Organic matters will be added to feed the microbes to keep them happy and healthy while a fertilizer will be in a form to address your plant’s nutrient needs.

Choosing organic matter depends on the product you have. Some organic matters need time to break down while others can be added a month before planting. Raw manures should be applied in the fall to allow for them kill o� any bad microbes within it.

Compost will be added quickly to SOM as it has already been changed and modified through the composting process.

For fall organic matter management, raw manures, cover crops, leaves, and others can be added/grown on the soil surface which will result in decomposition into next season. In the spring, try to add another organic matter. This might be compost, aged manure, cover crops, and others. As the soil temperature warms, microbial communities are activated and need to be fed. Adding organic matter as this time will feed your microbes to assist your summer crops. R. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension.

Storing corn and soybeans in 2017

BY DEBRA LEVEY LARSON U OF I NEWS BUREAU

URBANA — The current price structure of corn and soybean futures markets indicate positive carry in both markets. This raises the question of whether producers should make decisions about grain sales.

The decision by producers to store corn or soybeans should be determined by the returns to storage.

According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Todd Hubbs, the current projection for 2017-18 marketing-year corn supply is 16.573 billion bushels, 367 million bushels smaller than last year’s supply. The soybean supply is projected at 4.777 billion bushels, 249 million bushels larger than last year’s supply. Total supplies (production, beginning stocks, and imports) of wheat, feed grains, and soybeans are currently estimated or forecast by the USDA to be 21.780 billion bushels, 16 percent smaller than supplies of a year ago. The USDA estimates on-farm and o�-farm grain storage capacity as of Dec.1 each year.

Total storage capacity on Dec. 1, 2016, was estimated at 24.317 billion bushels.

“Although storage capacity is not consistent over di�erent areas or by type of crop, storage capacity appears capable of handling 2017 crops,” Hubbs says.

Harvest bids for corn and soybeans possess a weak basis, although conditions vary over di�erent regions, Hubbs adds. At interior elevators in south central Illinois, current harvest time corn bids reflect an average basis of about -32 cents per bushel.

This basis is around 7 cents weaker than the basis at this time last year and about 3 cents weaker than two years ago. The carry from December 2016 to July 2017 in the corn futures market is about 26 cents per bushel, around 3.71 cents per month. For soybeans, current harvest time bids in south central Illinois reflect an average basis of approximately -3.25 cents per bushel. The basis is about 10 cents weaker than at this time last year and about 2 cents weaker than that of two years ago. The carry in the soybean futures market from November 2016 to July 2017 is approximately 34 cents per bushel, about 43 cents per month.

“A producer’s storage decision is based on their storage capacity and the expected returns from storage,” Hubbs says.

“Returns to storage can be captured by selling the crop for later delivery at a price that exceeds the spot cash price by more than the cost of owning and storing the crop. This can be accomplished through a forward cash contract or by selling deferred futures contracts. Using a forward cash contract eliminates all uncertainty about

the return to storage. By selling futures to price a stored crop, uncertainty about future basis levels can impact the actual returns to storage. Returns to storage can also be captured by storing the crop unpriced in anticipation of higher cash prices. Forward pricing eliminates downside price risk but also eliminates a return from higher price levels. Storing a crop unpriced allows the producer to capture higher prices, but provides no protection from lower prices.”

For corn, average harvest bids on Sept.1 in south central Illinois are near $3.24 per bushel, slightly below the $3.30 mid-point of the range of the U.S. average farm price projected by USDA, Hubbs reports. “The relatively low price, weak basis, and carry futures market encourages storage of the 2017 crop. In south central Illinois, the average basis for corn typically strengthens to around -10 cents by spring, as it did in 2015 and 2016. In 2017, the average basis remained weak throughout the spring with the strongest basis occurring in late April at -14 cents relative to the July 2017 futures price. Given the current production and demand scenarios, an expectation of the typical basis pattern for corn over this marketing year is reasonable.”

As of Sept.1, Hubbs says average harvest time bids for soybeans in south central Illinois are near $9.17 per bushel, below the mid-point projection of $9.30 for the U.S. average farm price projected by USDA for the 2017-18 marketing year. “The average basis in south central Illinois usually strengthens in the spring but there has been no discernable pattern in recent years,” he says. In 2017, soybean basis remained weak with the strongest basis occurring in early June at -28 cents relative to the July 2017 futures price.

Hubbs says basis risk could be substantial this marketing year depending on South American crop production and U.S. export market competitiveness.

“The uncertainty surrounding corn and soybean yield projections for 2017 may encourage a patient approach to pricing crops,” Hubbs says. “By storing corn and soybeans unpriced, one holds an expectation of prices increasing by more than the cost of owning and storing these crops.

Over the short term, significantly higher prices require a large reduction in the production forecasts by the USDA on Sept.

12 or Oct. 12. Over a longer horizon, higher prices may occur if demand is stronger than currently forecast. Southern hemisphere crop problems could also materialize to provide a price increase.”

Summer weather lingers for week’s local events

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — With temperatures in the mid-80s, there is still plenty of summer to enjoy during in the Stateline this weekend.

More than 130 artists will be on hand at the 2017 Greenwich Village Art Fair Saturday, Sept. 16 and Sunday, Sept. 17 on the grounds of the Rockford Art Museum, 711 N. Main St. Vendors will sell paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography and more. Live entertainment is provided on two stages, while trolley will run to and from the event both days. Established in 1948, the fair is the longest-running one of its kind in the Midwest. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday. Admission is $7. Children 12 and younger free.

Another longstanding tradition will be held at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds is Pec Thing. The fall flea and antique market sets up for its 37th year Saturday and Sunday. For $4, deal-seekers can visit more than 500 vendors in the market’s 10,000-square-feet of indoor and outdoor space. The event features, art, quilts, furniture, sports memorabilia, glassware, candles and crafts.

The festival runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., both days. The Winnebago County Fairgrounds is at 500 W. First St., Pecatonica.

Every dog can have its day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 17, at Klehm

Arboretum for its annual Hot Diggity Dog Festival. That’s right, pack up the pooch and head to Klehm. That’s all that’s necessary to take the event dedicated to the area’s furry canine companions.

A host of dog- and pet-related vendors will be featured along with shelters and adoption agencies. The police canine unit will provide entertainment, and a dog costume contest is expected to be a highlight of the weekend. Cost is $5 for adults, $3 for seniors. Klehm members and kids under 12 are free.

“Summer is hanging around and the weather is supposed to cooperate with us,” said Klehm Executive Director Dan Riggs.

Klehm Arboretum & Botanical Garden is at 2715 S. Main St. The attraction dates to 1910, when William Lincoln Taylor’s experimental planting of rare trees. Over the next 58 years, Taylor’s work caught the attention of the Klehm family, who bought the land in the late 1960s. It was maintained for 20 years as private attraction before it was donated to the Winnebago County Forest Preserve District in 1985. This year, the facility underwent $250,000 upgrade to add 6,000-square-foot pavilion, patio area, host of other improvements.

The five-day forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with temperatures reaching 85 on Saturday. There’s a chance of thunderstorms on Sunday with high of 81. All three events are rain or shine. R.

The Hot Diggity Dog Festival returns to Klehm this Sunday.

NFL. Week 2

Don’t write off Pats after opening loss

By Sam Farmer

H

Tribune News Service

ey, Patriots, give us one more — with feeling.

It’s a new week and a new start for the defending Super Bowl champions, who were blown out

by Kansas City in their opener, 42-27.

That’s the most points New England has surrendered in the Bill Belichick era, and Alex Smith badly outplayed Tom Brady.

That said, writing off the Patriots is just plain foolish. After all, they were on the wrong end of a 41-14 pounding by the Chiefs in Week 4 of the 2014 season, and people were questioning whether both Belichick and Brady were kaput.

All New England did was come back and finish the season on a 10-2 run, winning every game except Week 13 at Lambeau Field and a meaningless finale against Buffalo, then go on to win the Super Bowl.

So New Orleans will have its hands full in playing host to the agitated Patriots on Sunday, especially with New England getting 10 days of rest and the Saints, who lost to the Vikings on Monday night, coming off a short week.

Then again, all that extra time isn’t always welcome.

“It’s probably easier when you’re getting right back to work,” Brady said Monday during his weekly interview on sports radio WEEI. “It actually kind of sucked having three extra days to think about it and rewatch the game.

“The good thing about football season, when it’s Sunday to Sunday, is (on) Monday you kind of watch it and then by Tuesday you’re already moving on to the next team.

I’ve kind of moved on to the next team, but we haven’t really done that formally as a team. We’re doing that today.”

It’s worth noting that the Patriots, who will be on the road for the next two weeks, are having their artificial turf replaced at Gillette Stadium while they’re gone. It was good enough to pass NFL muster for the opener, but it’s not up to the team’s standards.

M*A*S*H unit: Opening week took a toll on a lot of teams around the league.

Arizona running back David Johnson suffered a significant wrist injury. A dislocated ankle sidelined Philadelphia cornerback Ronald Darby, and teammate Caleb Sturgis — who kicked three field goals — is due to miss several weeks with a quadriceps strain in his plant leg.

Chicago receiver Kevin White, the Bears’ first-round pick in 2015, is going on injured reserve for the third consecutive season, this time with a broken collarbone.

Jacksonville receiver Allen Robinson will miss the rest of the season after

he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the Jaguars’ season-opening victory in Houston.

Don’t I know you? There’s so much coach and player shuffling around the NFL that it’s pretty easy to find some type of reunion every week. Still, there are some notable ones involving coaches in Week 2.

Andy Reid faces his old team when the Chiefs host the Eagles; Bruce Arians does the same when the Cardinals visit the Colts; and Sean McVay will see if his new

team can run his offense better than his last team did when the Rams host the Redskins.

In addition, Eagles coach Doug Pederson previously served as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator, and was once one of Reid’s quarterbacks.

“It will be fun to see him over there, Big Red on the other side,” Pederson said.

“But at the same time, I know he wants to kick my tail and I want to kick his.”

Housewarming: Atlanta is taking

the wrapper off its new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in style. The Falcons will play host to Green Bay in a Week 2 rematch of last season’s NFC championship game.

Both teams are coming off wins.

Late starters: Whereas 30 teams have played a game, this is the first week for both Tampa Bay and Miami, whose opener against each other was postponed until Week 11 because of Hurricane Irma.

The Buccaneers play host to the Bears, and the Dolphins are at the Chargers.

Packers’ D looks to build on opener

By Genaro C. Armas AP Sports Writer

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The impressive season-opening victory over Seattle for the Green Bay Packers could have bigger implications in a few months when the NFC powers are jostling for playoff seeding.

They wore down the Seahawks in a style befitting grind-it-out, postseason football.

No shootout needed for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to win with his right arm.

The Packers chipped away at Seattle’s vaunted defense with hard-fought yards from Ty Montgomery in the run game, and short passes through the air in the second half.

And Green Bay’s own defense, often maligned last season for weak pass coverage, made a convincing statement by containing quarterback Russell Wilson and shutting down the Seahawks on the ground. When taking away two Wilson scrambles, Seattle ran for 50 yards on 16 carries.

<<< From Back Cover Football is a dangerous, physical, and very violent game. The reason most careers are so short is more so because of the demands the game places on the human body, as opposed to talent. Plenty of bright stars or contributors have been washed away simply because they couldn’t stay healthy. White’s story is a tragedy in itself, but not inherently unique.

Fault the Bears and general manager Ryan Pace for taking a receiver in the top-10 with their first first-round pick all you want too.

In hindsight, that might not have been the best decision to start a fullscale rebuild with. If White ever showed any semblance of good fortune though,

“I know it’s cliche, I know I probably say it every year, every game, but shut down the run, force them to pass and get after the quarterback,” linebacker Clay Matthews said after the 17-9 win.

It worked to perfection on the stripsack of Wilson by defensive lineman Mike Daniels on third-and-18 deep in Seattle territory, the momentum-swinging play of the afternoon. Montgomery bullied his way in for a 6-yard touchdown on the next snap to finally put the Packers on the board in the third quarter.

Seattle opened the game with three three-and-outs. Daniels, Matthews and outside linebacker Nick Perry were in Wilson’s face all day as part of a withering rush against the Seahawks’ suspect line.

“From a positive standpoint, I think the No. 1 thing was our play style. I think we had outstanding effort, pursuit, finish, had a lot of guys flying around the ball,” defensive coordinator Dom Capers said Monday.

There were no pivotal lapses in pass coverage at cornerback, a position group

that took a lot of heat last season. Solid coverage helped the pass rush, and vice versa.

Against Seattle, Green Bay relied on what it calls a “nitro” package, in which the Packers use six defensive backs but line up strong safety Morgan Burnett as more of an inside linebacker. Doing that allows Green Bay to put more athleticism on the field to defend the pass while still having a solid run defender in the middle.

“Definitely to win the game like that in Week 1, that’s definitely going to be beneficial down the road, that was kind of like a grind-it-out game, especially in the second half,” cornerback Quinten Rollins said.

Now the Packers need to carry the momentum to Week 2 and a tougher challenge against the Atlanta Falcons, who are playing their first real game in a new stadium Sunday night. The Falcons blew holes in the Packers’ pass coverage in a 44-21 win in last season’s NFC championship game.

perhaps that selection is looked upon differently, while still lamenting the logic of the team-building behind it. A catch-22 likely many wouldn’t want to be caught in.

If you’re White or really any NFL player, you don’t get to control your destiny in professional football.

You don’t get to write your own story and plan every meticulous, fine, and exact detail.

Most don’t even get to decide when they walk away, the rarest of legends ending matters on their own terms while on top.

Most of the time, your career and world is snatched up from you, without warning and without care for where you stand.

However, none of this game defines anyone as a person. None of it dictates who you are off of the field. In essence, it’s only

a game. Just another career.

Should White never succeed with the Bears or somewhere else in the NFL after yet another coming trying off-season (it remains to be seen), he’ll no doubt know this fact: Football was merely a small part of who he was. A phase in his life that will be difficult to detach from but can happen in time. Those pads do indeed come off. He would’ve been a man who played football, not a football player full-time. It didn’t encompass his entire identity.

Whatever happens after this setback, White will have his entire life to live in front of him to pen whatever story he pleases. R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears.

Misfortune strikes again for White

By Robert Zeglinski

T

Contributor

he average NFL career lasts a little over three years. Most of the players who come down the college pipeline, never make it long-term. This is a cruel league and at its core, a cold-hearted game.

At the moment, perhaps no one understands this harsh reality better than the Bears’ Kevin White.

White, who had already missed most of his first two seasons in the NFL due to unfortunate and unpredictable leg injuries, broke his clavicle in Chicago’s 23-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons Sunday and had his season likely end. What was once a player with all of the potential promise in the world as a former top-10 pick, again has to start over from scratch and pick up the pieces.

2017 was supposed to be the year of White.

At a minimum, White was supposed to have the opportunity to prove himself. He was supposed to have a chance to offer a showcase of what he could do on a professional football field full-time. He was supposed to justify that high draft status from three years ago. He was supposed to at least go down in a blaze of glory fighting for that validation from relentless critics.

Instead, those positive sentiments have circled the drain as White again sits helpless, likely wondering if his NFL career will ever take off the way it was originally envisioned. A shame because White wasn’t even given the opportunity to fight for his standing.

White has always been a man of positivity and energy, at least exemplified by his public personality. His Twitter account is filled with quoted motivational phrases, gospel, and pick-me-ups. This is a man noted for his bright and unique slight gap-toothed smile. A life lived with

optimism.

Yes, there was a bit of a kerfuffle during this year’s Bears’ training camp when there appeared to be animosity between White and Chicago’s receiving coach, Zach Azzanni, over a misunderstanding on White needing a confidence boost while apparently watching or not-watching film of his college dominance at West Virginia. It showed that the young player was eager to prove his detractors wrong: to be the man he knew in his heart of hearts that he could be as a Bear. He only needed a shot.

That strange drama seems like it happened ages ago now.

One wonders how much energy is left for the beaming White to work through such injury adversity yet again. How long before White calls it quits or gives into self-doubt?

For as physical of a freak many have noted he is, psychological factors play a huge part in an athlete’s success. A major question mark that now balloons for White.

Only time will tell and in conjunctive reality, only the results of White’s eventual play on the football field will as well. That is, should he ever stay on the field long enough.

This discussion brings up an important point though: None of White’s injuries are necessarily his fault. Maybe he hasn’t been effective as a receiver in his five career games to this point, but it’s not as if he actively wished to break his bones. He doesn’t have character flaws because of terrible injury luck.

Labeling him a draft bust is a different story given availability and could be appropriate at this rate, but it’s hard to individually fault White for everything he’s been through in the NFL to this point. Because you quite literally can’t as stated.
