Friday night will feature a Roaring Twenties Party, beginning at 7 p.m. Enjoy live music from local acts, food trucks, theater tours, a raffle and 50/50 drawing, costume contest for the best 1920s outfit, “The History of the Coronado” film, silent auction and drink specials.

Rockford Artist Sherry Pritz will have her art on display at the two-day event and will be donating her extremely popular “Coronado Theatre” artwork to support the Friends of the Coronado Foundation’s fundraising efforts.

“As a photography instructor at Rock Valley College, I created the artwork years ago to highlight Rockford’s Crown Jewel,” Pritz said, “and I love being able to share my delight of the Coronado with others.”

“The Coronado Theatre is the community’s theatre,” Mayor Tom McNamara told The Times last month. “The work the Friends of the Coronado did in the 1990s represents what is best about our city: Citizens coming together to make a difference. I’m excited to celebrate the 90th anniversary of our community theatre.”

“We believe that the Coronado Theatre is a special place where our community’s memories are cherished,” said Beth Howard, Executive Director for Friends of the Coronado. “We are celebrating with a special weekend and will look to (secure) the next century of preservation.”

City Council

‘Welcoming’ ordinance ill received

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

CITY HALL — The Rockford Codes & Regulation Committee introduced a measure it aims to improve relations with minorities who are victims of crime Monday.

Dubbed the “Welcoming City” ordinance, alderman seek to prohibit police from checking the immigration status of people who call the police. This includes undocumented citizens who are victims of crimes and those who commonly choose not to call police in fear of being deported.

“No agent or agency shall condition the receipt of the City benefits, opportunities, or services on an individual’s citizenship or immigration status unless required to do so by statute, federal regulation, or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction,” a draft of the proposed ordinance reads.

The ordinance would also prohibit police or any employee tasked with providing city services to refuse those services to anyone who may not produce valid citizenship

status.

Leaders say it is already standard practice of local law enforcement to not ask for immigration status when officers interview witnesses, victims or suspects.

For that reason, some say a new ordinance could be more effective if was more encompassing or if other ordinances were put in place first.

“My problem is that we don’t have an ordinance that prohibits racial profiling,” Third Ward Alderman Venita Hervey said. “We don’t have any of those types of things. And although I am not opposed to a global ordinance, I have a problem with it. I understand that immigration is particularly sensitive right now, but I don’t like the carve-out [of the ordinance] when we still haven’t dealt with the issue of race.

Ethnicity goes right along with it. You’re not allowed to discriminate against people based on race or ethnicity.”

There is new state law similar to what the committee is proposing, a bill Gov. Bruce Rauner signed in August that prohibits state and local police agencies from detain-

ing anyone based on citizenship or federal detainer status. The law states that for someone to be held on a federal detainer, a judge must issue an arrest warrant.

“The law is clear,” Alderman Tim Durkee, R-1, said. “I don’t know why we need this. I think it’s using an ordinance to make a social statement and so I will not support it.”

The committee tabled the vote on the measure and are expected to revisit the ordinance in two weeks. The proposal needs committee approval to be placed before the full city council.

• In other city business, the Rockford Police Department could get more than two dozen Tasers. The Finance & Personnel Committee approved to use $42,074 from the police operating budget to purchase 30 devices from an Arizona vendor. Leaders say by bolstering the department’s stock of Tasers, otherwise known as stun guns, will help curb the use of force among police officers.

The department currently uses a total of 55 Tasers. Officers are trained in-house

on the use of the devices. Each officer is required to re-certify every year to continue carrying them.

“We currently have some officers who don’t have Tasers because of shift overlaps,” Police Chief Dan O’Shea said. “I want every patrol officer, every SCOPE officer and every RHA officer who is certified to have a Taser. Because it’s a less lethal option available to them.”

O’Shea said Tasers will complement the department’s other non-lethal weapons like bean-bag guns and rubber bullets.

A recent Reuters study showed 1,005 deaths in the U.S. involving police use of Tasers: “In the most thorough accounting to date of fatal police encounters involving the paralyzing stun guns, Reuters found that nine in 10 of those who died were unarmed and one in four suffered from mental illness or neurological disorders.”

The company responsible for the manufacture of the stun guns, Taser International Inc., changed its name earlier this year to Axon Enterprise. R.

New FBI stats show violent crime increases

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — Rockford’s 27 homicides are indicative of violent crime that increased in the city last year, according to new numbers released Tuesday.

According to the FBI’s 2016 annual crime report, violent crime was on the uptick while property crimes dipped. Stats show there were 4 percent more incidents of violence in 2016 than in the previous year.

That includes shooting incidents, aggravated assaults and robberies.

In comparing the FBI numbers with Rockford data through the first seven months of the year, violent crime is down by 6 percent compared to July of 2016.

Recent shootings have overshadowed those stats, however.

Early Saturday in the 900 block of North Rockton Avenue, a man was shot and killed. No arrests have been made in that incident as of this report. Police are also still searching for a suspect they say shot a Winnebago County Sherriff’s deputy early Saturday morning in southwest Rockford.

Police say 27-year-old Jordan D. Spates, of Rockford, was being chased on foot

by Deputy Stephen Wright when Spates

allegedly shot the officer three times.

Wright is expected to recover from his injuries.

Sunday, Sept. 24, a woman was shot in the head inside a residence in the area of Parmele Street and 16th Avenue. Police say the incident was sparked by a fight between several teens at a nearby park. Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots and later saw the victim hold a towel to her head. It is believed the bullet traveled more than a block before hitting the victim, who as in a second-story apartment.

Police are also looking for four suspects after two people were shot Sept. 20, in the area of Andrews and Underwood streets, near the District 1 police station.

Both victims were shot in the leg and are expected to survive. The suspects fled the scene in a gold car.

RPD says property crimes—thefts, burglaries, and stolen vehicles—are down about 15 percent. And although officials say there is progress being made, law enforcement still has a lot of work to do to get Rockford’s crime under control.

“I am very pleased we are trending the right way,” Police Chief O’Shea told the Rockford Register Star Tuesday. “We

will continue to bring down the violent crime and property crime rates. I am by no means satisfied with where it currently stands.”

This is not the first time law enforcement agencies have seen a spike violence.

There were 31 murders in Rockford in 1996 and the city often sees waves of bank robberies, stolen vehicles, home invasions and domestic violence. While most bank robberies and stolen cars are reported, many do not result in immediate arrest.

Others, like domestic violence, may not even be reported to police.

Local agencies are also working dozens of cold cases, including unsolved homicides on the books at the Rockford Police Department and Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office.

The City of Rockford on Monday announced a collaborative effort with Winnebago County, the Region 1 Planning Council and Loyola University Chicago in a project focused on crime and policing in

the city. As part of the project, a survey has been released for residents to take part in.

“The project seeks information to better understand community perceptions of public safety and police in Rockford,” RPD said. “Responses from the survey will be used to improve policing and develop strategies to reduce violent crime in our community.”

The survey is available in English (https:// surveys.luc.edu/opinio6/s?s=67851) and Spanish (https://surveys.luc.edu/opinio6/s?s=67851&lang=es) and is open to those 18-and-older who live, work or attend school in Rockford.

In 2015, Rockford was the fifth-most dangerous city with a population of more than 100,000 in the United States.

With more than 971 violent crimes per 100,000 people, Rockford is now No. 3 behind Memphis and St. Louis.

CHICAGO — The race to become Illinois’ next chief legal o�cer is o� to a furious start after Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s sudden announcement that she wouldn’t seek a fifth term.

A Republican former Miss America’s campaign has been reinvigorated. Two Democratic state lawmakers have stepped forward. And so many others are contemplating runs that news outlets are posting online trackers of who’s in and out. The mad dash for the only open race for statewide o�ce next year means there could be a crowded primary ballot, at least on the Democratic side.

“It’s going to be a very vigorous race,” said Republican Erika Harold of Urbana, who declared her candidacy last month.

“My message will remain the same. I’ve been focused on putting the people before the powerful.”

The Illinois Republican Party has contributed roughly $34,000 to her campaign.

Since Madigan made her surprising announcement about a week ago, Harold has tried to solidify her GOP establishment backing. She’s collected endorsements from 45 Republican lawmakers, including House Republican Leader Jim Durkin. He used a Chicago speech last week to praise

the Harvard University-educated lawyer, who was crowned Miss America in 2003 and made an unsuccessful primary bid for Congress in 2014.

Fewer endorsements have trickled in on the Democratic side where things are more complicated when it comes to party backing.

Madigan is the daughter of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, the longest-serving speaker nationwide who’s also leader of the state Democratic Party. He said, through a spokesman, that he hasn’t taken a position on the attorney general’s race.

Still, candidates have had to factor in the influence of both of them.

Democratic state Sen. Kwame Raoul nodded to Lisa Madigan in his campaign rollout last week.

“She’s had an incredibly successful tenure.

So she leaves a big void,” he said. “I’m calling everybody that I know in the party.”

He picked up an endorsement from longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. Danny Davis of Chicago. Raoul, an attorney, was appointed to his Senate seat in Chicago to fill the vacancy left by then-state Sen. Barack Obama’s election to the U.S. Senate.

Meanwhile, another Democratic legislator —state Rep. Scott Drury — exchanged his gubernatorial bid to seek the attorney general nomination. Drury was the sole Democrat to forgo support of Michael Madigan’s election

to a 17th term as speaker.

“What Illinois needs is an attorney general who’s fiercely independent,” the former federal prosecutor from Highwood said.

Other Democrats contemplating runs include former Chicago Board of Education president Gery Chico and McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, a former state representative. Outgoing state Rep. Elaine Nekritz announced Sunday that she had decided against a run after discussing the matter with her family.

Madigan was elected Illinois’ first female attorney general in a tight 2002 race, going on to easily win the next three elections. Four years ago she briefly considered running for governor, but said Illinois wouldn’t be well served by having a House speaker and governor from the same family.

She’s declined most interview requests, including with The Associated Press. But she told a Chicago radio station she wasn’t running another campaign soon, ruling out a possible run for governor in 2018 or Chicago mayor the year after. Her term ends in January 2019.

“I’ve learned never to say never,” she told Chicago’s WBBM. “So I do not know what the future holds politically but at this point I’m not seeking re-election as attorney general, and I have no immediate plans to run for any other o�ce.”

Two quakes in 2 weeks shake Downstate Two earthquakes that struck the Wabash Valley in two weeks has emergency management teams concerned about an active fault line there.

A 3.8-magnitude earthquake hit approximately 7 miles west of Mount Carmel in the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone last Tuesday.

Robert Bauer, an engineering geologist with the Illinois State Geological Survey University of Illinois, said the earthquake’s epicenter was at more than 7 miles below ground in an area known as the Precambrian basement.

A 3.1-magnitude quake hit the same area at a similar depth on Sept. 8, according to Bauer.

“This event is way down deep below where we get our oil and coal, and this is at a depth where we naturally have earthquakes,” Bauer said.

Bauer said the quakes line up with an estimated location of a fault that was part of the April 18, 2008, magnitude-5.2 earthquake.

A Sept. 19 earthquake struck just outside Mt. Carmel in southeast Illinois, near the Indiana border.

He said it’s important for people living near the seismic zone to be prepared for earthquakes.

“You don’t want to be near a building during an earthquake,” Bauer said. “You don’t want to be running outside the building. You want to do the drop, cover and hold drill.”

Dr. Tim Larson, senior geophysicist at

the Illinois State Geological Survey at the University of Illinois, said the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone is known for occasional earthquakes.

Larson believes this quake might be related to the 2008 quake.

“It’s either this is a distant aftershock from that one or this is some other activity that’s going on in that same area that seems to be continuing,” Larson said.

Larson said the recent activity could be aftershocks from the 2008 quake.

An earthquake registering in the magnitude-5 range typically hits the Wabash Valley area approximately every 20 years, but Larson said area residents should always be prepared with the help of the emergency management team.

“The emergency management community in Illinois is very much aware of the earthquake risks.” he said. “They are preparing themselves for responding to earthquakes.”

WHAT’S LOCAL

Yackle Tees a familiar Rockford brand

BY JIM HAGERTY CONTRIBUTOR

ROCKFORD — What started as out as a hobbyist’s venture and a local fundraising e�ort has quickly become a widely recognized Rockford T-shirt brand.

Yackle Tees, 1706 Rural St., is a fullscale print shop owned by former physical education teacher Jason Warner. While printing shirts out of his house almost 10 years ago, he first rolled out his logo, a monkey named Gordon Ferguson Yackle, at local festivals. Before long, the demand for the “G.F.Y.” brand was at the center of a plan that allowed him to leave his teaching job to work for himself.

“I taught in the Harlem district for 13 years,” Warner said. “I literally burned the midnight oil. I’d go home, coach my kids in basketball and do all my family stu� then.

At about 10:30 at night, I would come to [the shop] until 3 or 4 in the morning. I did that for a long time.”

In addition to printing tees at the shop, Warner has a remote service he brings to events and festivals and o�ers a streamlined custom apparel supply operation for schools, teams, companies and organizations.

Yackle is also rooted in the community through a host of fundraising e�orts that started while Warner was still teaching.

The first event saw him print tees for a

local 10K run and raise more than $25,000 for Parkinson’s disease.

“All of the sudden everybody was asking me to print T-shirts,” Warner said.

Because the company was primarily only selling its brand then, Warner turned down those requests--until the day he could no longer ignore the demand.

“I woke up one day and accepted the first order,” he said.

Yackle’s streamlined online operation as has allowed him to not only handle such volume but the company is continuing to grow. Bulk orders are filled at the same time, but each piece of apparel is packaged individually.

The company uses a combination of manual and automated machines, allowing them to churn out hundreds of pieces per hour. Led by head printer Jared Hermann, Yackle often has it hand in helping other companies meet their deadlines, something thing Warner says allows him to stay active in the community and remember the days when he was just a one-man operation.

“Helping small, artistic screen printers make a few extra dollars a year allows us to support them and form good, working relationships. I enjoy teaching people how to do this well.”

Warner is planning screen printing

classes in the future.

Starting in a small area inside the Rural Street location, Yackle eventually assumed the entire space, including the storefront that also houses the embroidery operation.

Once dedicated to an ambulance company, the garage that opens into the Rural Oaks parking lot is part of the automatic and manual printing area. R.

Shooting

Search continues in sheriff’s deputy shooting ROCKFORD — The search continues for Jordan Spates, the 27-year-old man accused of shooting Winnebago County Sheriff’s Deputy Stephen Wright.

The shooting occurred Saturday morning following a chase of the vehicle the suspect was driving. While fleeing on foot near Prairie Road and Springfield Avenue, the suspect reportedly fired several shots at Wright, injuring the deputy as he pursued Spates.

Spates was last seen entering the area of Klehm Arboretum, which became the subject of a multi-department search effort Saturday. Agencies from around the county

were assisted by state partners but Spates was not located within the facility.

Wright, an 18-month veteran of the department, is expected to recover from his injuries.

Spates’s father told the Rockford Register Star he hopes his son will turn himself in. The sheriff’s department said Spates should be considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information about the suspect’s whereabouts is encouraged to call the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department at 815-282-2600 or Crime Stoppers at 815-963- 7867. R.

City

Leatherby named streets chief CITY HALL — Public Works veteran Mitch Leatherby has been named the City of Rockford’s new Street Superintendent.

Leatherby, who has been with the Public Works Department since 2014, took over the post earlier this month. He’s replacing the current department director Mark Stockman, the former streets head who took over Public Works in June.

“Mitch has repeatedly proven his ability to manage employees, provide excellent customer service to the citizens of Rockford and create new ways of doing business that have both gained efficiencies and reduced overall costs to the city,” Stockman said in a statement.

“He is a welcome addition to the city’s senior management team.”

Leatherby had been the city’s forestry supervisor before filling his boss’s former role. A certified arborist, he is a member of

the Illinois Arborists Association and the International Society of Arborists.

“During the past several years as a street and forestry supervisor I have been exposed to nearly every division within public works in its entirety,” Leatherby said. “I have been fortunate enough to work alongside a group of hard-working and ambitious staff which have resulted in productive day to-day operations as well the completion of numerous successful special projects along the way.”

Leatherby will now direct the street and transportation division, which includes maintenance of city-owned parking lots; all streets and right-of-ways; and city vehicles, equipment and buildings.

“I look forward to the road ahead,” Leatherby added, “and would like to thank all of those who have provided support along the way up to this point.” R.

Trump-Russia

Congress may not be able to protect Mueller

By Brian Murphy

McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Congress may be unable to provide any additional job protection for special counsel Robert Mueller, whose investigation into Russian meddling into the 2016 election and possible collusion or obstruction of justice continues to frustrate President Donald Trump.

A bill sponsored by North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis and Delaware Democrat Chris Coons would allow a fired special counsel to have his dismissal reviewed by a three-judge panel within14 days of the firing. A bill sponsored

by Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Cory Booker, D-N.J., would require the Justice Department to clear the firing of a special counsel with a panel of judges before it could take place.

But at a Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, constitutional scholars gave senators competing conclusions on the constitutionality of these bills designed to protect Mueller from an improper firing by Trump or someone in the Justice Department.

“The bills in their current form are unwise and unconstitutional,” said Akhil Reed Amar, a constitutional law professor at Yale Law School and a Democrat who publicly opposed Trump in the election.

John Duffy, a law professor at the University of Virginia, argued that parts of both bills were legally questionable, but they could be tweaked to help pass judicial reviews. He, however, declined to offer an opinion on how the Supreme Court might

view them.

“With such judicial variability, I have to balk,” Duffy said.

Said Eric Posner, a law professor at the University of Chicago: “I’ve concluded they do not violate the principle of the separation of powers and on the contrary advance important constitutional values.”

The complex legal issues and the various answers to their questions seemed to give senators pause about the direction moving forward.

The law professors referenced almost a dozen Supreme Court cases, most notably Morrison v. Olson, a 1988 decision that held the Independent Special Counsel Act was constitutional.

“It’s hard to make a point of what’s constitutional,” said committee chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Tillis agreed to make changes to his bill, including removing a line that makes the legislation retroactive to Mueller’s hiring date.

“This is about checks and balances. This is about the Senate asserting its authority,” said Tillis, who stressed his support for Trump during and after the hearing.

But he acknowledged the committee has plenty on its calendar and was uncertain about when the bills might be back before the panel.

Trump has repeatedly called the Russia investigations — the Senate has two ongoing and the House one, in addition to Mueller — a “hoax.” During the summer there were several reports that Trump was, at least, considering asking Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to fire Mueller — prompting senators to draw

up legislation.

In August, Trump said he wouldn’t fire Mueller.

“We’re trying to make sure something out bounds doesn’t happen, and Mr. Mueller can proceed with some confidence,” Graham said. “What I’m trying to avoid is a Saturday night massacre and the upheaval in the nation. … I want the president to know there is a process in place. There are checks and balances long before you got here and they’ll be here long after you’re gone.”

The Saturday night massacre references former President Richard Nixon’s decision to fire independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox during Watergate.

In the end, said Wake Forest professor Katy Harriger, the biggest value might be not in the actual bills but in Congress’ very public support for Mueller.

“The much more important thing it did was sort of put the president on notice that there’s bipartisan support for Mueller,” said Harriger, author of “The Special Prosecutor in American Politics.” “He may have the constitutional authority, if he can find someone in the Department of Justice to do it. Mueller is not protected from that right now, except by politics.”

Mueller appears to be making progress in his investigation, which seems focused, for the moment, on former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort.

The special counsel has also asked for numerous emails and notes about the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, according to reports.

In “free speech” speech, Sessions condemns protesters

By Zack Ford

ThinkProgress.org

Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a controversial appearance at Georgetown Law School Tuesday to deliver remarks on free speech on college campuses.

Besides Sessions’ atrocious record on civil rights, the speech prompted protests from students and faculty after many students were ironically uninvited from the event. After arguing in his speech that there were too many restrictions on speech on college campuses, Sessions proceeded to defend President Trump’s condemnation of NFL players protesting racism by kneeling for the national anthem.

When asked if it concerns him that Trump criticized their protests, Sessions responded, “Well the president has free

speech rights too. He sends soldiers out every day to defend this country under the flag of the United States, under the national anthem, and the unity that those symbols call on us to adhere to.”

In fact, Sessions proceeded to condemn the players himself for “denigrating” the nation’s symbols: “So I agree it is a big mistake to protest in that fashion, because it weakens a commitment we have to this nation that has provided us this freedom. I would note, of course, that the players aren’t subject to any prosecution, but if they take a provocative act, they can expect to be condemned, and the President has the right to condemn them, and I would condemn their actions, not them as a human being. There

are many ways, these players, with all the assets that they have, can express their political views other than — in effect, denigrating the symbols of our nation, the nation that has provided our freedom to speak and act.”

In response to a follow-up question, Sessions seemed to suggest that he would actually be okay with NFL owners controlling the speech of players: “People have a right to register their opinions, to protest, to criticize in any number of ways. I guess it’s up to the owners and the people who create these games and pay for the ball fields to decide what you can do on the ball field. But the freedom of every individual player is paramount under the Constitution. It’s protect-

ed, and we have to protect it. I think that’s — it’s not a contradiction there.”

Just moments earlier, in his speech, Sessions said, “In this great land, the government does not tell you what to think or what to say” and proceeded to criticize universities’ “free speech zones.”

He also announced that the Department of Justice had issued a statement of interest in a campus free speech case, promising that they will “defend free speech.”

As his final thought, he urged the audience to also defend the freedom of speech “steadfastly against anyone that would dominate somebody in their thought and speech.”

In other words, Sessions supports the freedom of speech except when a football player wants to protest on the field.

Health care

GOP concedes on last-gasp ACA repeal try

By Erica Werner

AP Congressional Correspondent

WASHINGTON — “Obamacare” lives on.

Senate Republicans, short of votes, abandoned their latest and possibly final attempt to kill the health care law Tuesday, just ahead of a critical end-of-the-week deadline.

The repeal-and-replace bill’s authors promised to try again at a later date, while President Donald Trump railed against “certain so-called Republicans” who opposed the GOP effort. But for now, Trump and fellow Republicans who vowed for seven years to abolish President Barack Obama’s law will leave it standing and turn their attention to overhauling the nation’s tax code instead.

The GOP’s predicament was summed up bluntly by Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a lead author of the legislation: “Through events that are under our control and not under our control, we don’t have the votes.”

“Am I disappointed? Absolutely,” he said after a GOP lunch attended by Vice President Mike Pence.

Standing alongside Cassidy, Majority

Leader Mitch McConnell said: “We haven’t given up on changing the American health care system. We are not going to be able to do that this week, but it still lies ahead of us.”

“We do think it’s time to turn to our twin priority, reforming the tax code,” McConnell said.

There was much talk of returning to the repeal effort later, but not all Republican senators were putting on that brave face.

Sen John Kennedy of Louisiana described the bill as “dead as a doornail.”

The bill Cassidy co-authored with Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina would have unraveled the central elements of Obama’s law, including the requirement for Americans to carry health insurance or pay fines, and offered block grants to states to design their own systems with less federal control.

Republicans are also strongly in agreement on a need for action on overhauling the loophole-ridden U.S. tax code, and hope that if they also succeed in getting Americans a tax cut, their failure on health

care will be forgiven.

Yet they began the health care effort with unanimity, too, up until the devilish details began to emerge and divide them as they pursued a partisan effort against united Democratic opposition.

Much the same could happen on taxes, where Republicans are at the beginning of the process, with plans to unveil a blueprint on Wednesday.

On health care, the urgency confronting the GOP this week lay in special budget rules that protected the legislation from a Democratic filibuster, allowing the Republicans to pass it with just 50 votes, plus a tie-breaker from Pence, instead of the 60 often required. Those special rules expire Sept. 30.

Even with that advantage McConnell had little room for error given his slim 52-48 vote majority in the 100-member Senate. And as in July, when Arizona Sen. John McCain cast a dramatic late-night thumbs down to kill the previous repeal bill, McConnell was unable to corral the 50 votes “Ayes.”

In addition to McCain, moderate GOP

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine announced her opposition, as did conservative Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Several other senators were skeptical or undeclared, among them Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who waited until McConnell had conceded defeat Tuesday to issue a statement criticizing “a lousy process” on the legislation.

A full analysis of the legislation was never completed by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, contributing to critics’ complaints of a rushed process, but independent experts warned that millions could lose coverage, states could relax existing requirements, and coverage could end up being unaffordable for many, including people with pre-existing conditions.

The legislation also would have cut $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next decade, prompting angry protesters in wheelchairs to descend on the one hearing held on the bill, on Monday, chanting “No cuts to Medicaid! Save our liberty!” Dozens were pulled out and arrested as cameras captured the striking scene.

Veterans

VA: Money for private health care may run out

By Hope Yen

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Weeks after a veterans’ health initiative received $2.1 billion in emergency funding, the Trump administration says the private-sector Veterans Choice health care program may need additional money as early as December to avoid a disruption of care for hundreds of thousands of veterans.

The Department of Veterans Affairs said in a statement Tuesday that it hoped to move quickly on a proposed long-term legislative fix that would give veterans even wider access to private doctors. The proposal, under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget, would seek money to keep Choice running for much of next year as VA implements wider changes.

On Capitol Hill, the House Veterans Affairs Committee was already anticipating that the emergency funding approved in August may not last the full six months, according to spokespeople for both Republican and Democratic members on the panel. They cited the VA’s past problems in estimating Choice program cost.

That committee and the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee said they were closely monitoring the situation.

“It’s disheartening,” said Carlos Fuentes, legislative director of Veterans of Foreign

Wars, citing his group’s continuing conversations with VA about Choice funding.

“Imagine if a veteran has to cease chemotherapy treatment during Christmas.”

Garry Augustine, executive director of Disabled American Veterans’ Washington headquarters, said recent discussions with VA also gave him little confidence.

“It’s always a concern,” Augustine said.

“Legislative action needs to be done sooner rather than later.”

In its statement to The Associated Press, VA said it could not say for certain when Choice funds would be depleted, but acknowledged that it could be as early as December or as late as March. Earlier this year, the VA began limiting referrals to outside doctors as money began to run low and veterans reported delays in care.

The VA proposal for a long-term fix is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

“We have a long agenda, a lot more to do,” VA Secretary David Shulkin told veterans last week at an event near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. “This fall, our major legislative focus is getting the Choice program working right.”

The latest funding woes come amid political disagreement over the future direction of VA and its troubled Choice program, which was passed by Congress in 2014 in response to a wait-time scandal at

the Phoenix VA medical center that spread nationwide. Some veterans died while waiting months for appointments as VA employees manipulated records to hide delays. The controversy spurred Congress to establish Choice as a pilot program designed to relieve pressure at VA hospitals.

Choice currently allows veterans to receive outside care if they must wait 30 days or more for an appointment or drive more than 40 miles to a VA facility. But the program has encountered long delays of its own.

In a sign of a political divide, the left-leaning VoteVets ran a $400,000 ad campaign earlier this month in 13 states that warned viewers, “Don’t let Trump privatize my VA.” The American Federation of Government Employees has been staging rallies to bring attention to VA job vacancies left unfilled.

The VA said it remains committed to filling VA positions even as it finalizes plans to revamp Choice. VA said it had about 34,000 vacancies, which they attributed in part to a shortage of health professionals.

Legislative proposals to fix VA have run the gamut, including one backed by the conservative Concerned Veterans for America that would give veterans almost complete freedom to see an outside doctor.

Another plan could create a presidential commission to review closing some VA

medical centers.

“Congress can either double-down on the failed VA policies of the past or they can go in a different direction and empower veterans with more choice over their health care,” said Dan Caldwell, policy director of Concerned Veterans for America.

During the presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly pledged to fix the VA by bringing accountability and expanding access to private doctors, criticizing the department as “the most corrupt.” At an Ohio event in July, Trump promised to triple the number of veterans “seeing the doctor of their choice.”

More than 30 percent of VA appointments are made in the private sector.

Carrie Farmer, senior policy researcher for the RAND Corp., said the Choice debate raises broader questions about the role of government-run health care in treating veterans. To many former troops, the VA health system is a “medical home” where patients feel more understood by doctors specially trained to treat battlefield injury, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

Significantly expanding Choice could upend that government role as caretaker, she said.

“The big question is ultimately who will be responsible for our veterans’ care?”

Farmer said.

GOP Senator: Someone needs to be fired over wasted $65M plane

Sen. Chuck Grassley tells the Defense secretary “if heads don’t roll nothing changes.”

BY MEGAN ROSE PROPUBLICA

When it comes to Afghanistan, the Pentagon seems to have a penchant for buying planes that don’t fly.

The military “wasted” nearly $65 million on a single inoperable plane that spent years resting on jacks in a warehouse and didn’t manage even one flight in Afghanistan, the Department of Defense inspector general recently reported. The plane, tricked out with sophisticated surveillance capabilities, was supposed to fly counternarcotics missions to disrupt Afghanistan’s vast heroin operations, but languished on its perch in Delaware.

“Consequently, the DoD received no benefit for its more than seven years’ work and $64.8 million in funds wasted,” the inspector general wrote.

The debacle unfortunately has a depress-

Other cargo planes meant for Afghanistan were scrapped for pennies on the dollar. ingly familiar ring. In 2014, after spending $486 million on 20 planes for the Afghan Air Force — which, yes, were never able to fly — the Pentagon sold most of them as scrap metal for a whopping 6 cents a pound.

The total sale was $32,000.

The $65 million counternarcotics plane was part of the “Global Discovery Program” run jointly with the Drug Enforcement Administration, and is merely the latest in a long string of failed or questionable U.S. programs in Afghanistan. (And it’s yet another example of the failed overall $8.4 billion counternarcotics e�ort in Afghanistan that has led to more heroin,

not less. In 2016, Afghanistan grew nearly three times as much poppy than it had in 2002, according to the United Nations.) A ProPublica investigation found that as of 2015 there were at least $17 billion worth of such projects.

In total, including spending by the DEA and the Pentagon, the plane actually cost taxpayers nearly $86 million, four times as much as it was supposed to cost, according to the Department of Justice inspector general, who also investigated the program. Even these numbers are shaky because the Pentagon didn’t bother to track what it was spending,

the inspector general wrote. The Defense Department modified the plane with millions on whizzbang technology like electro-optical infra-red video capability. Then, when the plane was no longer needed (if it was to begin with), it had to take it all out to return the craft to its original state. In August, the government tried to auction the plane o�, but there were no buyers. (The aircraft’s sad tale of being shuttered in a warehouse in Delaware and then in Texas is reminiscent of the $3 million worth of patrol boats the military purchased for Afghanistan that sat unused for years in a Naval facility in Virginia.)

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has railed for years about the seemingly nonexistent Pentagon oversight on such expenditures, as well as the failure of the Pentagon to audit its books, as required by law, in more than a quarter century. Last week, Grassley, who chairs the Judiciary Committee and sits on the Budget and Finance committees, again called out the Pentagon, noting that “not a single o�cial took responsibility” for this latest aircraft waste. “As DoD o�cials are passing the buck, the American taxpayers are left holding the bag once again,” Grassley wrote to Defense Secretary James Mattis.

The Pentagon has not yet responded to Grassley’s letter.

If history is any precedent, Grassley won’t get far in his calls for accountability.

ProPublica’s investigation found that when it came to blowing wads of cash, war zones were a consequence-free zone. (Nothing ever happened as a result of the 16 planes being scrapped for pennies.)

To Grassley this latest misadventure is an opportunity for Mattis to follow through on his July promise for better fiscal management of the behemoth Pentagon budget. “In line with your call to ‘take aggressive steps to end waste in the department,’ I ask that a DoD review be conducted to determine who is responsible for what happened,” Grassley wrote.

In a handwritten note at the bottom of his letter to Mattis, Grassley wrote that “common sense dictates” that if a Navy admiral or captain can be dismissed “because their ship rams another” — which happened recently after two fatal collisions at sea — “then these people connected with this failed plane need to be fired. If heads don’t roll nothing changes.”

We need a capital bill, but don’t hold your breath

By Rich Miller

T

Capitol Fax

he four leaders met last week, but didn’t appear to accomplish much of anything.

It was Sen. Bill Brady’s first leaders’ meeting since his chamber officially confirmed him as the Senate Republican Leader, and he was the one who called for the sit-down. Leader Brady ran for governor three times, winning the 2010 primary. Numerous associates say he wants to make the most of this new role and be as relevant as he possibly can.

Brady helped restart the Senate’s stalled “grand bargain” talks in early May by outlining a “five for five” plan that raised $5 billion in new revenues alongside $5 billion in cuts. That proposal was widely believed to have been drafted by Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office and foreshadowed his subsequent election as leader.

A startling 18 of Brady’s 22 Republican members are up for reelection next year, so Brady needs to maintain a close relationship with the wealthy governor to hold off primary opponents and fund general election races.

There’s also a very real and growing worry that Gov. Rauner will be a signif-

icant drag on down-ballot Republican candidates next year, adding to the problems the party may very well also have with a national backlash against Republican President Donald Trump.

The fact that no Republicans have yet emerged to run for three statewide offices (secretary of state, comptroller and treasurer) should tell you something.

So, Brady reportedly wants to do whatever he can to help the governor help himself and, by extension, help his caucus. And a plan for state construction projects would most definitely be a big help.

Brady has an idea in mind. But one person who was briefed last week said it wasn’t so much a plan as “A magical mystery tour looking for someone to love it.”

Several sources say it’s a “public-private partnership” (PPP) proposal, meaning the state would seek out investors to help hold down government costs and dampen the need for a big tax hike to pay for it. Gov. Rauner said last week that he opposed raising the gas tax to fund a capital bill.

The House Speaker didn’t warm to Rauner’s last PPP idea for a toll lane on Interstate 55. The House Democrats complained that Rauner’s office

should’ve just handed the proposal over to the tollway board, which already has the legal authority to do such things and is, they pointed out, required to get first crack at projects involving tolls anyway.

There was also the usual suspicion about which investors would benefit from such a deal.

Beyond the Democrats not wanting to give the Republican governor a “win” by allowing him to announce sweet projects during a crucial election year, there are still some important remaining questions.

Also, despite the recent agreement on school funding reform, there still isn’t much trust at the top.

So some Democrats wonder whether Brady and Rauner are floating this idea in order to ultimately blame Democrats for not going along with them after the GOP moves the goal posts a dozen times. Or, perhaps, is it designed to somehow lure the Democrats into countering with a gas tax hike, which they can then be blamed for?

Leader Brady is generally a sincere guy and he definitely wants to accomplish big things in his new job, so take that for what you will.

Gov. Rauner has in the past demanded reductions to the prevailing wage

as part of any capital plan deal. If this plan has any significant poison pills, the Democrats will likely just take their chances with the 2018 election. Word is that Brady will meet with labor representatives today.

And even if it is “labor friendly,” the Democrats will undoubtedly want some sort of ironclad assurances that money will actually be spent in their own districts, including and (probably) especially in Chicago. There’s also a very real concern that Rauner’s administration, badly hobbled by firings and resignations, will bungle the administration of a capital plan.

The Amazon “HQ2″ search with its promise of up to 50,000 high-paying jobs also has to be considered here.

Our state’s bickering political families have to put on their best possible face when the prospective client comes over for dinner. Any public rekindling of this horribly partisan feud could cost the state big.

And, hey, capital money may be needed to entice the company into building its second headquarters in or near the city.

I’m not holding my breath at all, but it would be nice if they can put this together. We need the jobs.

My first Husker gig was at the Cubby Bear, right kitty-corner from Wrigley Field. I can’t recall who opened, but nothing would have prepared me for the sonic assault that the trio unleashed from the get-go. This was right around the time that “Everything Falls Apart” was released, so they were still the speed/ noise demons that caught my initial hardcore punk attention. I think they played close to, if not over, 50 songs (!), with no break, and almost all at breakneck speed. Simply blew me away!

My two favorite Husker efforts – “Metal Circus” and “Everything Falls Apart” – were both released in the early 80’s; and while fast and furious, each recording provides glimpses of the “pop” sensibilities that would beckon and become evermore predominant on later work. Hart’s “It’s Not Funny Anymore” on “Metal Circus” is one of my favorite punk rock

songs of all time, and resounded to my twenty-something ears like an anthem.

A twist on a traditional celebration

By Nick Ostdick Contributor

MACHESNEY PARK — A combination of specialty beer releases and German festival culture will be on-tap during Pig Minds Brewing Company’s sixth annual Oktoberfest celebration and party Saturday at the Machesney Park brewery.

The celebration will begin at noon and admission is free. Other activities throughout the day will include live music from both regional German polka and modern pop/rock groups, games, and Germanstyle food offerings and menu specials. In addition, souvenir beer steins and other merchandise will be available for purchase during the event.

Any authentic Oktoberfest celebration is really a vehicle for two things: food and beer. Pig Minds seasonal Oktoberfest-style beer – more traditionally referred to as a Marzen – will be on tap as a featured offering; however, as with any Pig Minds beer, heritage is seamlessly blended with

a more forward-thinking, innovative approach. Whereas as an actual Oktoberfest beer in the traditional Munich style is brewed using a lager yeast – one of two types of brewer’s yeast designed for lower fermentation temperatures and a more malty-tasting beer – Pig Minds brewmaster Carson Souza uses a hybrid ale-lager yeast, which imparts a more unique flavor in the finished product.

“You get a ton of malt aroma, sure, but it’s also got a traditional German profile,” Souza says. “We also upped the hop profile a bit as well. It’s sweet, but also nice and dry. It’s a crusher.”

The use of Summit hops gives Souza’s Oktoberfest a clean, firm bitterness that is tailor-made for pairing with sausages, pretzels, and other Oktoberfest eats. And, in keeping with Pig Minds style, those eats also come from a unique perspective.

Since the brewery opened in 2012, the menu has consisted of 100 percent vegan dishes, each of which takes traditional

pub and brewery staples like burgers, nachos and chicken wings and render them without meat, dairy, or eggs. The Pig Minds culinary team will offer vegan interpretations of German dishes, each of will be field-tested for pairing with Souza’s beer.

“When I designed this beer, I totally went for a more traditional Marzen that cries out for mustard, a pretzel, schnitzschule, all that,” Souza says. “I hoping to get into the kitchen soon to help our team finalize the food menu.”

Pig Minds Oktoberfest beer is one of the highest-caliber of its style across the region - it’s a complex, yet easy-drinking beer that will satisfy experienced beer enthusiasts and newcomers alike. But the brewery plans to have a number of other special releases on-hand during the celebration to quench a wide-variety of thirsts. For example, Fall For Revenge, an ale brewed with local cherries that has quickly become a fan-favorite, will be

tapped for the fest and will also see special bottling and distribution for the first time in the coming months. Other fall beers available Saturday will include Phil-Up, a traditional English brown ale.

Beer aside, Souza says what really draws people to Pig Minds Oktoberfest is that it’s just a great party - a wonderful moment for fans of the brewery and staff to celebrate the changing of the seasons together. Jerrica Clinkenbeard, Pig Minds bar manager, believes this event goes a long way toward creating and strengthening relationships between the brewery and its customers.

“Our Oktoberfest is my favorite Pig Minds celebration because it’s so much fun to celebrate the changing of the seasons with all the familiar faces in our community,” Clinkenbeard says. “ Pig Minds Brewing Company is at 4080 Steele Dr., Machesney Park.

RACVB View

Reimagined Holiday Parade kicks off Stroll The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB) will transform downtown Rockford into a night of memorable holiday traditions when Stroll on State presented by Illinois Bank & Trust marks its 5th anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 25. This year the event kicks off with a reimagined and expanded Merry & Bright Holiday Parade featuring impressive floats, festive music and costumed characters. The parade steps off at 3 p.m. This spectacular parade will be in addition to several other attractions, activities, holiday shopping experiences, the City of Rockford’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony and more.

“We are overjoyed that Stroll on State has become a cherished holiday tradition in the Rockford community. Over the last four years we’ve worked alongside so many inspiring community partners and volunteers to grow the event by adding new attractions each year,” said Tana Vettore, RACVB director of destination development. “We thought the five-year anniversary would be the perfect time to introduce a festive parade to kick off the event in an extraordinary way. We couldn’t be more excited to share this new experience with our guests who come to Stroll.”

Calling for Parade Entries: Local organizations and businesses are invited to participate in the parade. In order to be part of the parade, participating floats must be decorated with a Classic Christmas theme such as the North Pole, Santa’s Workshop, or Winter Wonderland.

The Stroll on State, Merry & Bright Holiday Parade Committee is pleased to provide commercially prepared floats for rental and use. These floats average

28’ in length and 8’ in width, include the business or organization’s name on both sides, and are ready to ascend and ride.

Most rented floats will accommodate 12-15 people. For pricing options, please contact Kristen Paul, RACVB’s executive assistant, at kpaul@gorockford.com.

The fees to participate in the parade are $150 for non-profit organizations or $300 for for-profit entities if turned in by October 20 and $200 (non-profit) or $350 (for profit) if registered after that date.

Visit gorockford.com/stroll-on-state/ parade/ for a complete list of parade rules and regulations and to download a registration form.

Parade line-up begins at 2 p.m. at the parking lot of Hinshaw & Culbertson (100 Park Ave. just south of Beattie Park) and the parade starts promptly at 3 p.m. The approximately one-mile route begins at

Jefferson and Wyman Streets, traveling south on Wyman Street and turning east onto State Street, ending at 3rd Street.

Several local businesses, organizations and partners reach out to RACVB each year to see how they can be a part of Stroll on State. There are sponsorship opportunities as well as numerous ways to volunteer, from decorating to building a float for the parade and more. Forming such solid community partnerships for the benefit of Stroll on State allows RACVB to continue offering new and fun activities each year.

“The new parade this year will definitely be awesome and something families are going to love. From what I understand, there will be lots of very cool surprises in store that will certainly put a smile on peoples’ faces,” said Christopher Brady, director of theatre and arts at Rock Valley College’s Starlight Theatre. “Our team at Starlight Theatre is happy to have a float included in the parade and to help with decorations for this adored community event. We can’t wait to see so many great ideas come to life!” Brady also noted that he looked forward to seeing other organizations and businesses sign up to be in the parade.

For additional information about Stroll on State, volunteer opportunities, or to participate as a vendor, visit www. strollonstate.com. Updates and event information will be posted to the Stroll on State Facebook page at facebook.com/ StrollonState/.

TUBE TALK

Fall’s TV trends

BY PAULA HENDRICKSON

I

CONTRIBUTOR

t might not feel like it due to our recent heat wave, but autumn has arrived, bringing with it a new fall TV season.

With TV series debuting pretty much every month of the year, you might think the fall TV season is a thing of the past—or at least relegated to the major broadcast networks. But it’s still a big deal for networks, advertisers, and most of all, viewers.

Some new shows have already had their fall premieres, like CBS’s Young Sheldon, a prequel spin-o� of the ever-popular The Big Bang Theory.

Not only is it narrated by Jim Parsons (Sheldon on the original incarnation), he’s an executive producer, too.

As usual, the new season includes a few trends: reboots, special ops forces, and more comic book based series.

Seriously, does EVERY channel need its own live-action Marvel or DC Comics series? Maybe it’s because I’m not a comics aficionado, but there are just too many intersecting franchise cannons for me to keep straight these days. ABC is adding Marvel’s Inhumans to its line up – which already includes Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. which returns for a fifth season in a few months – starting this week. Believe it or not, there are even more comics-based TV series in development, if not already in production, even one for Freeform (formerly ABC Family).

Special ops teams don’t seem quite so special when three networks introduce new series focused on elite military teams in less than two weeks—especially after he first season of A&E’s drama SIX set a pretty high bar for the genre earlier this year. SIX was co-created and -written by David Broyles, who served alongside the actual Seal Team Six as a member of the Air Force’s elite Pararescue unit, so it was vital to him that SIX be as accurate as possible.

I’m betting I wasn’t the only person to confuse promos for NBC’s The

FRIDAY

Ernie Hendrickson and the Citizens of Love

Brave (with Anne Heche) and CBS’s SEAL Team (with David Boreanaz). I admit that upon hearing a clip where Boreanaz says a mission will start after dark I thought, “Angel’s a SEAL!”— something only fellow Bu�y and Angel fans will probably understand. It’s also confusing that both of these shows are debuting the same week. The Brave airs Mondays at 9 p.m. and SEAL Team on Wednesdays at 8 p.m.

Need more? The CW’s female-driven military entry, Valor, premieres Oct. 9 at 8 p.m.

Reboots can be good or bad. They can also be nostalgic, like Will & Grace— which isn’t a reboot as much as a continuation—or too soon, like American Idol, which is coming to ABC before anyone had a chance to miss Fox’s original, which ended less than two years ago.

Despite the lack of originality these trends suggest, creativity is not dead.

One show I’m really looking forward to is Fox’s Ghosted, a comedy starring Craig Robinson (The O�ce) and Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation) as a team of paranormal investigators. It premieres this Sunday.

With so many new shows to keep up with, I’m afraid some shows I like but don’t love will have to be cut from my regular viewing. If I really need to know what’s going on with a show, I can always catch up On Demand or online.

Programming notes

Ghosted premieres Sunday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. on Fox. Young Sheldon airs Mondays at 7:30 p.m. on CBS. Valor premiered Monday, October 9 at 8:00 p.m. on The CW. The Brave airs Mondays at 9:00 p.m. on NBC. SEAL Team premiered Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 8:00 p.m. on CBS. Will & Grace returns Thursday, Sept.

18 at 8:00 p.m. on NBC. Inhumans premieres Friday, Sept. 29 ad 7 p.m. ABC. R.

New Leaf on the horizon

By Allen Penticoff

E

Columnist

arlier this month Nissan revealed its updated Leaf electric vehicle (EV). While not yet available in the United States, it is expected soon. Nissan has sold over 270,000 Leafs so far, making it the most popular and most widely produced EV on the market.

Early adopters were content with its meager range and funky frog styling.

The 2018 Leaf will feature a bigger motor and larger 40 kWh capacity battery pack, thus increasing the range to 150 miles from the previous 100 miles.

The 147-horsepower motor should yield 0-60 mph times of about 8 seconds – speedy enough for most folks, but well off its pricier competitor, Chevy Bolt’s 0-60 of 6.5 seconds.

Nissan is not planning to join the 200-mile range club until the 2019 model. There is a good reason for this.

With a smaller battery and foregoing a battery cooling system, the base Leaf at $30,875 can be priced $6,600 less than the base Bolt and about $5,000 less than the Tesla Model 3. Since most folks drive EVs almost exclusively in urban trips, the old Leaf’s 100-mile range was plenty, so the extra 50 miles provides some peace

of mind rather than extending your trip radius much. Direct DC charging is an available $1,200 option ($750 on the Bolt).

I would not buy the direct DC charger unless I knew I could use it. Most EV owners go about their business exclusively with their nightly at home charge.

The new Leaf has welcome styling changes on essentially the old chassis

platform. It will not be competing well against the tighter handling Bolt in autocross, but most folks don’t care. The old styling was a turn-off for many (including myself) so this change alone should boost sales. The 2018 Leaf has some features that at present give it advantages over the Bolt. One is their “e-Pedal.” This is basically more aggressive regenerative

braking (0.2g) that can stop the vehicle without touching the brake pedal. This is becoming known as “one pedal driving.”

It will stop and hold on hills without touching the brake as well (the Bolt can do this too once the brake pedal is touched if there is a bit of rollback) then you can have your feet on the floor until the light changes.

Nissan also included adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking in the new Leaf, both nice features. In stop and go traffic this is nearly like an autopilot, without the steering part. It is claimed that if you just use e-Pedal to slow, and it is not quite enough, the automatic braking will slow you to a safe stop.

The toughest thing about the new Leaf will be finding one. American new car dealers have yet to embrace the whole EV concept despite the manufacturers proceeding full steam ahead with innovative EV designs. With our extraordinarily low gasoline prices, American consumers prefer the comforts of an SUV over the economy and low operating costs of an EV. Other world markets, particularly China, are more fully embracing the predominate use of electric vehicles as national goals. We would do well to imitate them. R.

Benefits of battery-backed solar

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

W

Contributors

e have lived with batterybacked solar (or PV) for nearly 17-years and have found pros and cons to adding batteries to a PV system.

After a successful one-day workshop at McHenry Community College in 2001, we decided it was time to organize a renewable energy fair. To practice what we preached, we had a one kilowatt PV system with battery backup installed.

Even with a modest subsidy from the state, we knew it would be over 30-years for the system to pay for itself.

We intended to use our home site as an educational center to teach the benefits of using solar energy; our installation would serve as a teaching tool. While the battery system added considerable costs, it illustrated the potential of being energy independent. That winter, a huge ice storm in Quebec took down the grid throughout Ontario and the northeastern

U.S. Our battery system was targeted to serve a small portion of the critical electrical needs of our rural home if a major grid failure occurred. We have been spared any major service disruptions and on only one occasion was battery power needed to maintain service from sunset to sunrise: when our bedroom window air conditioner shut down in the morning, we realized that we had been run on battery power throughout the night.

Some PV installers in the area indicate battery systems are not yet competitive with grid power. They also comment on the fact that most of their service calls for PV systems are those that include battery systems.

Battery power has long been considered a means to provide electricity after the sun goes down with many off-grid homes relying on it for continuous electrical service. With falling battery cost, the question often arises whether it’s actually cost competitive with grid

service to go off grid with a battery backup.

The time is fast approaching when widespread off-grid PV-powered homes and buildings will be economically competitive. A colleague who maintains ties with family and friends in Guatemala and promotes solar energy there recently struggled with the question of what role batteries should play in a solar system designed to power a community center.

Although the center is grid-connected, its electrical costs are $1,200/month—in large part caused by air conditioning. The costs of installing a large enough battery system to power the air conditioning is not yet competitive with grid power.

However, it makes economic sense to have a smaller battery pack to meet office energy needs with the added benefit of providing cleaner power than that from the grid to protect the computers. It would also provide an opportunity for facility’s staff to develop needed skills to

maintain a battery system.

One part of the solar vision for cleaner energy has focused on the potential of using solar energy to charge a car’s battery pack, then, as needed, to draw electricity from the battery pack to provide electrical service for a PV powered home.

Although electric vehicle sales remain somewhat sluggish, as battery costs continue to fall, EVs could be cost-competitive with gasoline-powered cars as early as 2021. The transition to electric vehicles continues to expand: China recently announced its intent to ban building and selling gas vehicles to curb air pollution.

Mercedes-Benz recently indicated it will invest $1 billion in Alabama to build an electric car manufacturing and battery production facility. As competition brings down electric vehicle and battery costs, it will also bring down the costs of using batteries to store electricity after sunset.

Pumpkin and gourd options

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

While apple orchards have been open for over a month now, many pumpkin patches are just starting to open. Heavy rains in July saw pumpkin fields recover in time for a good crop. I have seen powdery mildew on pumpkin plants the end of August. Due to the late arrival of this disease, it should not have a�ected yields.

As you see a multitude of pumpkins, gourds, and squash, you may be wondering what the main di�erences are. In general, there are not any di�erences other than color, texture, shape, and use. All are members of the cucurbit family with similar growing characteristics. Some are more suited for long term storage as more of a winter squash or gourd. Typically, we call pumpkins any squash that has the orange color.

From there, some pumpkins are better for eating known as a pie pumpkin. Pie pumpkins are the traditional orange color but are smaller in size.

Some of the gourds you use as display are good eating gourds with flesh that can be used just as you would pumpkins. Rouge Vif d’Etampes, Long Island Cheese, and Jarrahdale are all commonly found as decorative display but are good eating gourds. While these gourds have traditional round shape, they are flatter. The color varies among these

three with Jarrahdale being blue-green and Rouge Vif d’Etampes is orange-red.

Like its name denotes, Long Island Cheese is shaped like a cheese wheel with a tan-orange color. Blue Hubbard is a circular gourd with a warty, outer skin. Some growers I know will use it as a trap crop for cucumber beetles as they tend to like it more than others. Next summer, you might consider planting a blue hubbard plant to attract pests away from your other squash.

Acorn and butternut squash are available this time of year too. These are similar to summer squash but they develop a hard outer shell that allows them to be stored for a period of time.

Both acorn and butternut should be stored in a cooler area of your home away from heat. Depending on how these are stored, they could last until spring.

If you want to use pumpkins or gourds for display, pick those that do not have any insect damage or disease on them as this can speed up decomposition. You should dip them in an alcohol solution to keep them from rotting faster. Gourds that are good for eating can be processed the same way you would cook a pie pumpkin. R.

Heat wave helping Midwest crops

BY KARL PLUM REUTERS

CHICAGO — Unseasonably hot U.S. weather is accelerating corn and soy crop maturity after months of concerns that lagging development could drag down yields or put some late-planted acres at risk of damage from frost, agronomists and analysts said.

Farmers around the U.S. Midwest are racing to harvest crops under mostly clear skies and temperatures more indicative of mid-summer than early autumn, with highs ranging to 90-100F speeding up in-field grain drying.

Cash bids at several elevators and processors around the Midwest weakened in anticipation of an influx of grain in the coming days and weeks, while costs for shipping supplies by barge to Gulf Coast export terminals surged on Friday.

The unseasonable heat is almost certain to add bumper bushels to an already burdensome global grain supply that has weighed on crop prices and pressured farm incomes for four years. The strong finish to the U.S. growing season comes after a cool, wet spring stalled planting and mild summer weather slowed crop development.

“It’s been a really good harvest so far.

Things definitely matured quicker with this heat,” said Kirk Liefer, a farmer in Red Bud, Illinois, who had the majority of his corn harvested and expects to begin gathering soybeans this week.

A key concern now for Liefer is getting soybeans that he grows for seed harvested quickly, before the crop’s moisture drops too much. Drier soybeans can be lost in the field during harvesting and are more prone to cracking, which lessens the value of the crop.

More than half of the U.S. corn crop was mature as of Sept. 24, up from just over a third a week earlier, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. The crop was 11 percent harvested as of Sunday, up from 7 percent a week earlier but 5 points behind the 10-year pace.

Soybeans were 10 percent harvested as of Sunday, up from 4 percent last week and slightly ahead of the 10-year average of 9 percent.

Analysts polled by Reuters had expected 14 percent of corn to be harvested, along with 11 percent of soybeans.

The unusual late September Midwest heat is accompanied by lower-than-normal precipitation, which will allow farmers to continue harvesting uninterrupted.

Farmers will also let crops dry naturally in fields, saving them money on drying costs.

“The propane industry won’t be happy.

They are always trying to anticipate what the drying needs will be, and if this continues, the drying needs will quite a bit less,” said Roger Elmore, professor and agronomist at the University of Nebraska.

Temperatures are expected to remain above normal for about another week, with a chance for rain in northern sections of the western Corn Belt early in that period, according to Commodity Weather Group agricultural meteorologist David Streit.

As of Sunday, high temperatures in Chicago, in the center of the U.S. Corn Belt, set records and topped 90 degrees Fahrenheit for five straight days, according to the National Weather Service. That followed only one day above 90 degrees in August, and two in July.

Shipping woes

The Midwest heat wave comes amid a dry spell that has dropped river levels in the region and forced shippers to load exportbound barges with less grain to prevent them from grounding in the shallower waterways.

The U.S. Coast Guard closed a section of the Illinois River due to low water and imposed draft restrictions along a nearly 150-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Tiptonville, Tennessee, to Memphis.

Low water may also allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to continue a project stalled since 2014 to remove river-bed rock pinnacles near Thebes, Illinois.

Freight rates for hauling grain by barge to Gulf Coast export terminals over the next three weeks spiked on Friday as shippers prepared for an influx of crops.

Corn bids at elevators and processors plunged as much as 13 cents a bushel, while soybean bids were as much as 28 cents lower.

Bribery, kickbacks at top NCAA programs

By Larry Neumeister & Tom Hays Associated Press

NEW YORK — In one of the biggest crackdowns on the corrupting role of money in college basketball, 10 men — including a top Adidas executive and four assistant coaches — were charged Tuesday with using bribes to influence star athletes’ choice of schools, shoe sponsors, agents, financial advisers, even tailors.

Some of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes went to athletes and their families, none of whom were identified by name in court papers. Some of the money went to the coaches, to get them to use their considerable sway over their potentially NBA-bound players, federal prosecutors said.

“The picture of college basketball painted by the charges is not a pretty one,” acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim said. “Coaches at some of the nation’s top programs taking cash bribes, managers and advisers circling blue-chip prospects like coyotes, and employees of a global sportswear company funneling cash to families of high school recruits.”

The coaches were identified as Chuck Person of Auburn University, Emanuel Richardson of the University of Arizona, Tony Bland of the University of Southern California and Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State.

The others charged were James Gatto, director of global sports marketing for basketball at Adidas; Rashan Michel, a maker of custom suits for some of the NBA’s biggest stars; and various advisers and managers.

Most if not all of the 10 defendants were under arrest. Gatto’s lawyer did not immediately respond to an email request for comment. It was not clear who would represent the coaches.

Since 2015, the FBI has been investigating the influence of money on coaches and players in the NCAA. Kim noted that a special FBI hotline has been set up and invited anyone aware of additional corruption to come forward.

He said those charged “exploited the hoop dreams of student-athletes around the country, allegedly treating them as little more than opportunities to enrich themselves through bribery and fraud schemes.”

Prosecutors said the coaches took bribes to use their “enormous influence” steer players toward certain financial advisers and agents.

Adidas said it was unaware of any misconduct by an employee and vowed to fully cooperate with authorities.

Among other things, Gatto and others were accused of bribing high school athletes and their families at least three times this year in exchange for a commitment by the players to play basketball for two Adidas-sponsored universities not identified in court papers.

In one instance, court papers said, Gatto and others funneled $100,000 to the family of a high school athlete to gain his commitment to play at an Adidas-sponsored Division I school and to sign with Adidas once he became a professional. They allegedly paid another high school athlete $150,000 for a similar commitment.

Court papers portrayed the universities as victims of the schemes, saying they paid out financial aid after their coaches falsely assured them they were unaware of any rules violations.

The investigation began after a financial adviser who ran a firm that catered to pro athletes began cooperating in 2014, providing information corroborated by recorded conversations and surveillance, authorities said.

NFL. Week 4

Rookies on D come up big for Pack GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Packers got a glimpse of what their top two draft picks are capable of during Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals, with hybrid safety/ linebacker Josh Jones and cornerback Kevin King making their first NFL starts.

And they did not disappoint.

“Anytime you can get your young players in there and get that experience, (it’s valuable),” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday, one day after the team’s 27-24 overtime victory over the Bengals.

“The plan is to win the game but you’re always, always very cognizant — I always have been — of getting these young players in.

“Let’s face it, when we get to November, December, there’s a very high probability that these guys are going to be playing major roles in these game plans and these big games.”

King and Jones had an impact on an unseasonably hot September Sunday, too.

Also among those impressed by the two youngsters, especially with Jones: Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who led a 75-yard fourth-quarter touchdown drive that forced overtime, then hit Geronimo Allison for a 72-yard catch-and-run to set up Mason Crosby’s game-winning field goal.

Jones, who didn’t play a single snap on defense against Seattle in the Sept. 10 regular-season opener for his NFL debut, registered a team-high 12 tackles and had two sacks and three total tackles for loss.

“He was fantastic, he really was. It’s fun to watch him play and get confident,” Rodgers said of Jones. “(That’s important) for young players like that, and for Josh especially.

“He got a lot of action and he made the most of it. He was huge for us with the sacks, with the stops, with the coverage. I’m really happy for him. It was the stuff that we saw in training camp.”

Jones played the hybrid linebacker position as one of four safeties the Packers played for most of the game Sunday.

With safety Kentrell Brice (groin) and inside linebacker Jake Ryan (hamstring/ concussion) out, Jones played the linebacker role, veteran Morgan Burnett worked in the slot and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Marwin Evans served as the traditional safeties.

The approach worked, as the Packers limited the Bengals to just 109 second-half yards and did not allow them to convert a third down (0 for 5) after halftime.

“It’s satisfying to know that your preparation paid off, but this is a long season,” said Jones, who made a crucial tackle on a third down to end the Bengals’ only possession of overtime, leading to a punt and setting up the game-winning field goal.

“This is just one game. I expect to continue to do that throughout this season.”

<<< From Back Cover At this rate, it can equally match the fervor surrounding the Bears, though in a slight reverse of circumstances.

While the Packers have their superstar in Rodgers under center and have failed to effectively build around him for a long time, the Bears likely have the rest of their quality team in place but refuse to play their potential star at quarterback in Mitchell Trubisky.

The proof is in the pudding: An embarrassing blowout loss to the Buccaneers aside, Chicago took the Falcons and Steelers – two of the very best teams in football – down to the wire on the strength of their defense and explosive running game. This without any threat of a tangible passing game whatsoever.

With a more competent quarterback not named Glennon, it certainly feels like the Bears are finally right there, ready to make the leap back into consistent relevancy as a contender. They just have to get out of their own way.

of covering Bengals six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green.

Although Green did catch 10 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown — the 10-yard TD, however, came against zone coverage, not against King — his longest reception went for 20 yards.

Given the kind of game-changing plays the Packers secondary has had a penchant for giving up against top receivers, keeping

And how appropriately that’s coined for both Chicago and Green Bay. What is the NFL’s oldest rivalry in Bears-Packers? What was once the NFL’s premier, marquee matchup of two titans has now turned into “they just have to get out of their own way.” Cue the depressing trombone.

When Thursday night comes around, there’s no doubt this game still means something tangible to both teams however.

Early season injury adversity can be overcome by Rodgers’ Packers.

It’s what they did in 2010 on the way to that lone Super Bowl, after all. It’s not about how you start, but how you finish and seemingly no one has done that better in the regular season of late than these Packers. A jumpstart victory over the Bears, even at incomplete parts, could go a long way towards building positive momentum through the rest of the season.

On the other side, a tug of war at quarterback notwithstanding, the

Green from breaking the game open was an accomplishment. King figures to start again on Thursday night against Chicago, even if House is cleared to play.

“I think I did well. I think I did well,” King said. “Like every game we just want to improve. It’s a quick turnaround on Thursday. Good plays, bad plays, you’ve got to move on to the next.”

Notes: The Packers placed veteran long snapper Brett Goode on injured reserve with a hamstring injury he suffered against the Bengals and signed rookie long snapper Taybor Pepper, who was with the team for part of the offseason program. Goode suffered his injury early on against the Bengals but toughed it out, snapping for the game-tying extra point at the end of regulation and for the game-winning field goal in overtime. ... The team’s health issues won’t be helped by the short week, as 12 players were on the injury report when it was released Monday — including the team’s top three active offensive tackles: Starting left tackle David Bakhtiari, who missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury; starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga, who made his season debut, but left after aggravating the right ankle injury that kept him out the first two weeks; and Kyle Murphy, who started in Bulaga’s place in the opener and for Bakhtiari the past two games but suffered a foot injury against the Bengals. With Jason Spriggs (hamstring) and Don Barclay (ankle) on injured reserve already, the Packers’ top five tackles are all hurt.

Bears finally have the pieces to beat the Packers in their house of horrors.

A stout front seven led by Leonard Floyd, who could take advantage of the Packers’ injuries at tackle. An explosive running back duo of Jordan Howard and rookie runner Tarik Cohen a.k.a “Rumble Pak” and “Joystick.” The table is set for success against an ailing rival.

Chicago has two paltry wins at Lambeau Field in the past decade but Green Bay is as vulnerable as it has been in a long time. With current standing and history on the line, that’s all the Bears could ask for. “Thursday Night Football” has never seemed so simultaneously anti-climactic and crucial.

The Packers and Rodgers have bigger fish to fry while the Bears merely want to slay their long-time torturer and Goliath to finally step into their rightful spotlight.

They just have to get out of their own way. R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears.

The Bears and Packers face off for the 195th time since 1932 on Thursday night, with the all-time series level for the first time since 1933. @chicagobears

Bears, GB both in tenuous spots

hen Aaron Rodgers launched a 60-yard pass to Jordy Nelson to help propel the Packers past the Bears last December, it was an all-too-familiar recent refrain in this rivalry.

Green Bay hasn’t necessarily had the better overall team of late than their Chicago counterparts, but they have had maybe the greatest quarterback of all-time in Rodgers. In retrospect, with a 15-4 record and 103.2 overall passer rating against them, Rodgers has been the one to continually launch daggers into the Bears’ collective heart at every opportunity—with an unmatched track record to boot.

But somehow, as the Bears and Packers sit tied in their all-time series at 94-94-

6 – the first time the series between the NFL’s two charter organizations have been tied since 1933 – the two teams sit in the same respective position, waiting to launch.

The Packers, of course, can take the lead over their long-time rival for the first time since 1932 on Thursday night.

Yet, as much as they’ve dominated the Bears recently, it certainly seems like they’re just as stuck in the mud.

While the Bears have “enjoyed” a quarterback carousel for the better part of a quarter century that’s featured names in an endless cycle such as Rex Grossman, Jay Cutler, and even now Mike Glennon, Green Bay is on a familiar and frustrating hamster wheel regarding a Hall of Fame quarterback.

For perspective, former Packers great

and Hall of Famer Brett Favre won three straight NFL MVPs from 1995-1997. In that span, Green Bay played in back-toback Super Bowls, winning and losing one respectively. They never returned to the big game or enjoyed the same kind of success with Favre again. No doubt an irritating blemish that the organization could only capture one championship with one of the best ever under center.

Flash forward to the modern era: The surefire future Hall of Famer Rodgers might be football’s most talented and efficient quarterback ever. The 33-year-old has capture two MVPs to this point in his career and won a Super Bowl in 2010. Following that championship, the Packers and Rodgers were supposed to start a dynasty and control the league, or at

least the NFC, with an iron fist.

Since then, due to a variety of factors from poor roster construction, injuries, and general misfortune, Green Bay has suffered heartbreaking loss after heartbreaking loss in the postseason, not yet returning to the big game with the NFL’s premier player. At this rate, wasting away the talents and efforts of what can be properly coined as “Rodgers-magic” in his prime.

With each passing defeat in January, the angst in Wisconsin only grows. Given early injury decimation yet again – the Packers’ top three offensive tackles will be out against the Bears on Thursday, for example – it certainly feels like Green Bay is already prepared to bow out in the early winter yet again.
