Democrats who control the Illinois General Assembly began another showdown Tuesday with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner over vetoes, less than four months after overriding him to end the longest state budget stalemate in modern U.S. history.

On the first day of a special session called to address Rauner’s vetoes of several bills, the Senate voted 42-13 to override him on union-friendly legislation he had staunchly opposed. The House still must pass the override on a three-fifths vote.

Other expected override votes involve issues that have defined Rauner’s nearly three years in office and come just a day after the conservative businessman announced his intention to seek a second term in November 2018.

The bill the Senate passed again Tuesday, over Rauner’s opposition, would prohibit local governments from establishing areas in which an employee can work in a union job with union benefits without paying labor dues. The village of Lincolnshire established such so-called “right-to-work” jurisdictions in 2015 after Rauner failed to enact the system statewide.

A federal judge ruled against Lincolnshire in January, saying only the Legislature can establish a statewide right-to-work area, as 28 states have.

“Today’s vote could create a damaging loss for the economic competitiveness of Illinois,” Rauner said Tuesday in a statement.

Another potential override, pushed by Democratic Comptroller Susana Mendoza, would require state agencies to report monthly on the bills they’ve incurred but not yet sent to the comptroller for processing.

Mendoza said it would help her budget for paying down a $16.3 billion pile of past-due bills.

A plan Rauner rejected that would increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2022 awaits further action, as does a proposal to require companies writing workers’ compensation insurance to get state approval for the premiums they charge.

Democratic Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s legislation to create a “bill of rights” for student-loan recipients is up for override, as is a measure from Democratic Treasurer Michael Frerichs to make it easier to collect life insurance benefits when a beneficiary dies.

The contentious budget Democrats approved in July after a historic stalemate is likely to be a major issue in Rauner’s re-election campaign, although he contends it’s still $1.7 billion out of balance.

He proposed as much as $370 million in budget cuts, according to a legislative analysis, largely to programs popular with Democrats. And there’s still as much as $1.2 billion from the year that ended June 30 that the administration already spent, even without authorization from lawmakers.

Rep. Greg Harris, a Chicago Democrat and House budget negotiator, said the Democratic budget would allow the state to settle those old bills while tightening the financial outlook going forward.

“It’s a huge problem,” Harris said.

City Hall

Committee votes for domestic violence office

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

CITY HALL — A city office aimed at curbing domestic violence and human trafficking will now head to city council, the Rockford Finance and Personnel Committee decided Monday night.

The special office is the brainchild of Tom McNamara, who has been studying domestic violence numbers in Rockford even before he decided to run for mayor.

What he found, he said, is nothing short of staggering. Direct victims affected by domestic violence are not the only ones affected. The abuse is touching other areas of the city, and crimes committed by offenders who seem to get younger each year. Most of them, the mayor says, have resorted to crime in part because of what they’ve witnessed or perhaps endured as victims, at home.

“The vast majority of these young offenders that are out there waving a gun around to feel that sense of control have been themselves victims sexual, physical, or mental abuse in their own homes,” McNamara said. “So, them waving their gun around is their way of saying they have control over a situation.”

The Rockford Police Department is seeing the direct correlation, too. Almost 30 percent of all calls received by area law enforcement are domestic violence reports.

That alone, officials say, is a statistic the city must curb, even in turbulent economic times when the city is facing a multi-million-dollar spending gap.

“And those are just the calls that are reported,” Alderman Frank Beach said.

“But that certainly doesn’t mean that’s all there is.”

Beach said he’s behind the office and will

vote for it when it comes in front of the full council as early as next week.

Alderman Natavias Ervins echoed Beach, but also noted that domestic violence is not just something he’s read about in reports from the police department. He’s lived it.

“I take this very personally,” Ervins said.

“I’ve come out of tremendous domestic abuse in my home, and to see the results that came from that type of lifestyle, I thank God every day because I am not where I ought to be, according to statistics. I look at others who’ve come out of that, and their lives are not ones to brag about. And it hurts. Not only is there domestic abuse, but a lack of education. And when you get that combination, people suffer, and it carries throughout their entire life.”

The office will come with a startup cost of around $150,000 for IT, salaries and

benefits.

“If we can take a fraction of those [domestic violence] cases down, we’ve paid for this office,” the mayor said. “More importantly, we’ve helped families and saved lives.”

Fifth Ward Alderman Venita Hervey cast the lone “no” tally, saying she would rather see the measure before council after Rockford’s budgetary issues are ironed out. She fears the city could get in deeper financially than initially expected and have to make cuts elsewhere to keep the office open.

“I’m certainly not going to fill a position and then lay off 15 or 20 police officers or public staff or whatever else we’re going to have to do,” Hervey.

The office will be funded through a variety of internal sources. R. @jimhagerty

Eastside

Author, speaker opens co-working incubator

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

ROCKFORD — A re-purposed eastside building is now a place for aspiring entrepreneurs to launch their careers.

It’s called The Local, a more than 2,000 square-foot building at 123 N. Alpine Road owned by Rockford author, educator and motivational speaker Jazz Keyes. The co-working space, or business “incubator,” caters to an array of creative types–artists, business people and visionaries who can come together to launch their careers.

“I looked at the space and thought it had a lot of potential,” Keyes said. “I also thought of some of the difficulties and challenges I had as an entrepreneur at one point: I didn’t have a place to meet with clients, a place I could work late or teach my classes.”

The Local, Keyes says, will offer that space. The building sports everything from a conference room to gallery space to a podcast studio, tools young business people often go greatly into debt to obtain early in their careers. By turning to someone like Keyes, who has been through that often grueling capitalization process, those tools are provided for a fraction of the cost.

“I want to create a sacred space that touches every sector,” she said. “I want it to be something our city can stand behind.”

And far-reaching support will certainly be key to making the project a go, especially as Rockford is only beginning to regain the sense of community that fell by the wayside during the manufacturing exodus of the late 1980s. Over the years, with the industry has also gone succeeding generations of

young people who find little, if anything, in Rockford to return to after leaving the city for one reason or another.

Then there are those who graduate from Rockford schools with nothing more than a dream. Loopholes, investment requirements and business training are too often the stumbling blocks that prevent grassroots projects from ever getting off the ground. Keyes aims to be a beacon for them, too.

“Some of the programs out there to get businesses started are filled with difficulty and disparity as to who can qualify for them,” she said. “It can be hard to navigate these programs to accrue some of these funds.”

The Local is a space that will not only provide a space for startups to operate while they navigate those avenues, but a tool to learn from Keyes how the often daunting, and sometimes dream-killing, mechanism is.

“Sometimes people just need others to believe in them, and that goes so far,” she said. “[The Local] will introduce the element of hope that a lot of people will lose along the way. I get excited when people feel vibrant.”

And vibrant they are at the space and it’s not even officially open. Pieces from local artists are already on display, and Keyes is ready to welcome more after tonight’s grand opening.

The opening will from 6-9:30 p.m. It will feature business workshops, tech workshops, meditation classes, refreshments, and more. The public is welcome.

More information about The Local is on its Facebook page. The building is directly across from Rock River Ford. R.

County

Staff slashes cause courthouse logjam

By Jim Hagerty Contributor

DOWNTOWN — Entering the Winnebago County Courthouse was far from as easy as it used to be Monday, Oct. 23.

That’s because a staff of nearly 60 officers who worked security at the facility has been reduced to around a dozen, and a special entrance for lawyers has been closed. The situation comes by way of $4.2 million in budget cuts to the sheriff’s department.

A line starting at the door of the former Public Safety Building began forming around 8 a.m. By 8:30, it stretched west down the side of the building toward the corner of West State and North Church streets.

Everyone from lawyers, jurors and litigants were in line—which before Monday never formed outside the building, not even when well-known trials were being held inside.

Lawyers commonly entered through a door at the corner of West State and North Church, but that door, also the public exit, is no longer.

“It took me 35 minutes to get into the building this morning,” attorney Ali Leonard said.

In the past, some lawyers used the PSB entrance and would be waved through if recognized by the staff of part-time reserve deputies who manned the electronic security turnstiles. There’s just a couple of reassigned deputies at the entrance now but they’re not yet familiar with the attorneys.

“We are showing are ARDC cards, but it’s not making our wait times any less as of now,” Leonard said.

What is helping is an easement of sorts on a no-bag policy announced last week.

For the public, bags, including purses, are prohibited. Diaper bags and medical bags are permitted; attorneys are exempt. But, those who paid $25 this year to use the lawyer’s entrance are out of luck. Dozens of attorneys paid the fee and used the door

dozens of times per week.

Lines were also longer at the Winnebago County Justice Center Monday, but nothing like the courthouse backup.

Chief Judge Joe McGraw and Sheriff Gary Caruana have been vocal about the budget cuts. Both fear they will take an overall toll on public safety.

“The likelihood of one of our citizens falling prey to a violent crime is greater here than in the city of Chicago,” McGraw said, adding that he would not tolerate a reduction in jail and courthouse security.

In August, the judge filed a lawsuit against the Winnebago County Board over the proposed cuts. The board approved them on Sept. 26, as part of a FY18 budget that includes a total of$6.8 million in slashes and more than 100 jobs. More than 10 percent of Caruana’s staff is now laid off.

Caruana said he was led to believe in early August that he could hire additional deputies, only to be faced with more than $4 million in cuts just a month later. He said the situation came by way of an error

accounting official should have avoided.

“They used 2011 as a baseline for cutting the budget,” he said. “That was an anomaly year when we were coming out of the Great Recession. They should have used numbers from 2009 to 2017.”

The result, the sheriff said, gave a false impression that his department could spare around $5 million. He said he was later preparing for cuts of $1.5 million.

And, while it would have been a sizable reduction, it would not have threatened public safety, he said.

Winnebago County Board Chairman Frank Haney said the cuts were unavoidable because the county has relied on its reserve funds for the past 12 years, spending about $18 million to balance things.

Government officials familiar with the situation told The Times the first-term chairman and sheriff, while maintaining good relations publicly, are at odds.

Sources added that communications over the budget situation have broken down at times, leaving room for politically

RockRiverTimes.com.

motivated narratives to creep in above public safety concerns. But members of country government said they expected a middle-ground to be found in the ongoing budget battle.

By all accounts, Haney inherited a gravely mismanaged office, one partly run by a purchasing director who made off with $451, 353 from the coffers. The investigation also reached former Chairman Scott Christiansen, who came under fire over chocolate bars and a sauna purchased with county funds. The chocolate bars were purchased to fix a spending mistake, allegedly made by Claassen, while the sauna—installed at his house—was bought to help Christiansen with nagging health problems.

He said he brought the sauna to the basement of the Public Safety Building after deciding it was not helping him. That was in July 2015, hours after learning Claassen was being investigated by the FBI for using a county credit card for vacations and home repair projects. R.

Lottery, private manager work to allay concerns Critics had raised questions over Camelot’s longterm viability

BY GREG BISHOP

ILLINOIS NEWS NETWORK

New Illinois lottery manager Camelot Illinois won’t earn financial incentives unless it meets the state’s financial targets, Illinois Lottery Director Greg Smith said Friday.

“Camelot only profits when net income grows,” Smith said at a news conference in Chicago. “No incentive compensation will be paid in contract years where the state does not meet the common school fund obligation.”

There will also be three external audits throughout the 10-year contract and yearly internal audits reported to the state. Camelot, a subsidiary of a British gaming company, will be expected to comply with public records demands and will not be operating instant tickets to avoid conflicts of interest, Smith said.

Instead, other vendors will supply the scratch-o�s.

If Camelot doesn’t perform?

“There are provisions in this agreement that, should Camelot not be performing, there are a number of termination provisions that exist in the agreement,” Smith said.

Current private manager Northstar, which was the first private manager for Illinois’ lottery after lawmakers required the lottery be privatized in 2009, was fired for not generating revenue to match

targeted goals.

In the heavily redacted public file for the Camelot deal the state provided, procurement review o�cers raised concerns about Camelot’s finances. Several of the unnamed officers said they worried Camelot’s financial position was not strong enough to update equipment in the transition from Northstar to Camelot.

One committee member wrote, “the company has low liquidity outside of the [parent company’s] pension fund.”

Another scorer noted: “[I] am not convinced these provisions will be enough to cover a potential transition or equipment failure. Camelot’s low net worth and profitability add to my concerns.”

Overall, Camelot scored a 4.6 out of 8 for financial strength and investment capability.

Camelot Global Managing Director Neil Brocklehurst said Friday the company is on solid financial footing.

“Camelot is backed by a multibillion-dollar pension fund that is putting up to $60 million in its cash up-front, investing in Illinois, because it believes in the opportunity,” Brocklehurst said.

“That money is to fund its business plans.”

Brocklehurst said that includes investing $15 million on new point-of-sale terminals and vending machines all throughout the state.

“As a player walking outside the retail store, I’ll see new external signage,” Brocklehurst said. “Upon entering the

store, I’ll be able to see new permanent point of sale where I can clearly get my new play slips. There’ll be new scratch card and instant ticket dispensers, new vending machines, new terminals, all designed to make it easy and convenient for retailers and players alike.”

Brocklehurst said no tax dollars will be used for the new machines.

As to rebuilding trust in the lottery, Brocklehurst said they will regularly seek feedback from players and the state on how to improve the operations and make things more transparent.

“Lottery should be fun,” Brocklehurst said. “It’s an enjoyable experience for people to play and have a little dream about potentially winning that big jackpot or winning that big scratch ticket.”

Smith said the state will evaluate every game to ensure it matches the state’s overall plan.

Brocklehurst also said Camelot will encourage healthy gambling by having a lot of people play a little.

“We take responsible playing incredibly seriously,” Brocklehurst said. “Camelot has a long track record of being at the forefront of responsible gaming.”

One way Brocklehurst said that will be apparent is with the new digital iLottery platform it will create.

“The way the site needs to be designed is to not promote excessive play,” he said.

Northstar will remain the private manager until Camelot takes over with a 10-year contract Jan. 2, 2018.

Video gaming surpasses riverboat casino revenue Video gaming revenue collected by the state of Illinois surpassed riverboat casino revenue for the first time in 2017.

According to a new report from the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability (COGFA), the state collected $296 million in gaming revenue in the fiscal year that ended June 30, up $44 million from fiscal 2016.

Revenue from riverboat casino’s continued to fall, from $277 million in fiscal 2016 to $270 million last fiscal year. In 2005, riverboat casinos generated $699 million in tax revenue for the state.

From all gambling sources including the lottery, the state collected $1.31 billion

in 2017, a 7.9 percent increase over fiscal 2016.

“The growth in video gaming was the impetus behind the 7.9 percent increase in state revenues from gaming-related sources in FY 2017,” COGFA concluded.

“But while video gaming has flourished, the established gaming sources in Illinois have seen stagnated sales (Lottery) or declining revenues (riverboat casinos and horse racing).”

The state collected $738 million in lottery revenue in 2017, an increase of $58 million over the previous fiscal year but well below 2014, when it collected $815 million. The Illinois Lottery last week

introduced Camelot Illinois as its new private manager, e�ective Jan. 2, 2018.

Camelot will replace NorthStar, which was fired for not generating revenue to match targeted goals.

“A closer look shows that the overall increase in gaming revenues has been, for the most part, experienced downstate where limited gaming opportunities had previously existed,” COGFA’s report says. “The numbers suggest that adding video gaming to the Chicago areas has merely redistributed the revenues to the numerous gaming venues that now exist in that area.”

Fern takes over building next to Hanley

BY JIM HAGERTY CONTRIBUTOR

DOWNTOWN — With the dust and ashes are still settling following the Hanley Furniture building fire, the developer at the center of the situation has taken ownership of the building next door.

Urban Equity Properties (UEP) CEO Justin Fern told The Times Friday that an entity he owns, UEP Investments 2, LLC, now owns 307-309 S. Main St. The building has five tenants, including Magpie restaurant, which has been shuttered by water damage since the June 25 blaze. It also houses [design] [build] by architects, ellAdele Photography, C. Tyson Photography and Solares Law Group.

It has also been littered with code violations caused by the blaze former owner Sam Pirrello was told by the city he’d have to resolve. The partied wall left by the Hanley demolition is also included in those code problems. Hanley Lofts, LLC owned the Hanley building, and Fern was scheduled to begin turning it into a five-story apartment building with a ground-floor restaurant.

No money exchanged hands in the deal between Pirrello and Fern. Fern’s lawyer Je� Orduno said his company took ownership of the building via a quitclaim deed that was recorded Friday, Oct. 13.

The corner of Chestnut and South Main streets has been a point of conversation since the Hanley was demolished just ahead of the Fourth of July weekend. Urban Equity attempted to stop the wrecking ball while Pirrello was reportedly poised to sell. “[307-309 S. Main] is rough at this point,” Orduno said. “We have already

Orduno said he hopes the rehab project will include Magpie, something he said is good for downtown.

“We would like to see them serving meals in that building soon if [the restaurant owner] is willing,” he said.

“Mathematically, it makes sense for Magpie to be there.”

Fern agreed. He is approaching the building the way he approached the Hanley project before the fire.

“At the end of the day, this is about saving downtown buildings,” he said. “And that is what we are going to do here.”

He had no comment about the now-vacant lot where the 116-year-old Hanley building stood. The city announced in July that it planned to recoup the half-million-dollar cost of demolition via a lien on the property.

Urban Equity Properties purchased the building in 2014 under the Hanley Lofts holding company. The company prolonged construction pending the outcome of

the Amerock Embassy Suites project across the street.

Pirrello could not be reached for comment.

Meanwhile, the investigation into a string of summer fires believed to be arson is continuing. Following the Hanley blaze, the three-story home of El Olivo Grocery at 301 7th St., El Navegante Bar, and an adjacent 7th Street building were total losses. Law enforcement o�cials have not commented on whether a suspect is being held in any of those fires. R.

Voter Fraud Commission wants your data But newly revealed records show practices that could put millions of people’s info at risk.

By Jessica Huseman & Derek Willis ProPublica

The voter-fraud-checking program championed by the head of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity suffers from data security flaws that could imperil the safety of millions of peoples’ records, according to experts.

Indivisible Chicago, a progressive advocacy group in Illinois, filed a public-records request with Illinois and Florida for information on the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program. Crosscheck was created and run by the Kansas secretary of state’s office and is often cited by Kris Kobach, Kansas’ secretary of state, as a way to identify voters casting ballots in more than one state. Indivisible Chicago then posted emails and other documents it received, including messages exchanged between elections officials in Illinois and Florida and Crosscheck.

The emails and records revealed numerous security weaknesses. Crosscheck’s files are hosted on an insecure server, according to its own information. Usernames and passwords were regularly shared by email, making them vulnerable to snooping. And passwords were overly simplistic and only irregularly changed.

“It blows my mind — this is complete operational security incompetence,” said Joe Hall, the chief technologist for the Center for Democracy & Technology, an organization that promotes internet freedom. “You should consider all of that stuff in the hands of people who are clever enough to intercept someone’s email.”

The Kansas secretary of state’s office did not respond to emailed questions about Crosscheck’s security.

Crosscheck was conceived in 2005 as a way to, as the name implies, let states compare their voting rolls to prevent people from registering in multiple states. Kansas operates the program at no cost to the states that participate. Crosscheck assures them — about 30 states use the program as of now — that it employs “industry standard encryption technology and passwords.”

Hall disputes that. “It’s a complete lie,” he said.

Kobach co-chairs President Donald Trump’s voter fraud commission, which has been under heavy scrutiny over whether it will be able to secure the vast voting data it has requested, including names, addresses and dates of birth for virtually every voter in the country. When Kobach requested this data in June, the commission was scorched with criticism and lawsuits in both federal and state courts over privacy concerns. Kobach sent a second letter to states in late July

promising data would “be kept confidential and secure throughout the duration of the commission’s existence.”

Experts say the documents released

by Indivisible Chicago undercut Kobach’s claims that he understands how to protect voter data. “This raises serious concerns about the security of citizens’ data not only in Crosscheck, but with the voter fraud commission run by the same people,” said Dave Becker, the executive director of the Center for Election Innovation & Research.

“They tell the voters, the states and the courts ‘trust us’ with personal data, but they refuse to answer basic questions about how they plan to secure or use that data.”

Concern over the commission’s ability to keep data secure given the new information about Crosscheck’s methods is “absolutely justified,” said Kenneth White, director of the Open Crypto Audit Project, and a security researcher and consultant.

Crosscheck’s data is stored on an FTP server run by the Arkansas Office of the Secretary of State. FTP servers are unencrypted, leaving passwords and downloads readable by electronic spies. It is standard across the industry to instead use SFTP (short for “SSH File Transfer Protocol”), which protects data from prying eyes, according to Hall. He compared FTP servers to a postcard and SFTP servers to a letter sealed in an envelope and locked in a vault.

Employees of the Arkansas secretary of state’s office send login credentials to election officials in states participating in Crosscheck and restrict access to either the public IP address or a range of addresses used by election officials in those states.

That’s an important step to ensure users can only access the system through one of the approved IP addresses, according to White — but he said well-resourced attackers would be able to get around this protection.

And because Crosscheck routinely emailed full credentials, hackers may not even need to work particularly hard to do so. They could simply “spoof” — essentially, mimic — the email address of a state authority and send an email to Crosscheck’s administrators adding a different IP address, said Shawn Davis, the director of forensics at Edelson PC, a Chicago-area law firm specializing in cyber security. The firm has begun working with Indivisible Chicago, and Davis will testify before an upcoming joint session of the Illinois House and Senate to discuss Crosscheck’s vulnerabilities.

“Hackers do take these steps,” said Davis. “They are pretty patient — if they want to get the data they’ll do these things.”

Illinois has been a member of Crosscheck since 2011, but emails released by Indivisible Chicago show that no Illinois official inquired about data security issues until this July, when Indivisible Chicago raised questions. In response, Vipin Nischal, an analyst at the Arkansas secretary of state’s office, confirmed the use of an FTP server but claimed “no unauthorized or anonymous access” had been found. Bryan Caskey, Kansas’s director of elections, said officials at the Kansas secretary of state’s office, which performs the matching work, also have access to the data.

Arkansas employees sent emails to

Crosscheck members containing the FTP address, the username and the password in the same email, which is considered bad security practice. Operating procedures included in the records request show that this practice was standard — Crosscheck instructed all three things to be sent in a single email every January before the matches were done. Hall called this “completely, unbelievably irresponsible.”

The Illinois State Board of Elections, which fulfilled one of the records requests from Illinois, redacted the FTP address but did not redact usernames and passwords.

Passwords were emailed to all states in the same manner, leaving them vulnerable to similar exposure through public-records requests in other states.

The passwords are simplistic, and emails from Crosscheck’s operators show they were rarely changed. “Due to the heavy work load on our IT Director, we will not be able to update the passwords for this data pull,” an Arkansas employee said in an email to Crosscheck participants in 2011.

“If there is a specific state that really needs/ wants their password changed, please let me know and I will see what I can do for you.” Emails from Arkansas employees to the Illinois State Board of Elections in 2016 and 2017 also contained the same credentials. “[Secretaries of state] took an oath to the people of their states to protect the state constitution, and part of that is the safekeeping of the citizens information,” said White. “They are abdicating that responsibility by putting their data in this sort of system.”

Legal Corner

Understanding Consumer Bankruptcy Choices

By George P. Hampilos, Esq. & Thomas C. Laye, Esq.

Individuals unable to meet their financial burdens may choose to file for bankruptcy relief. There are two types of bankruptcy a consumer may file: Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as a “straight bankruptcy” or “liquidation bankruptcy.” In Chapter 7 proceedings, the debtor pays nothing to unsecured creditors (creditors with no collateral), unless the court requires a liquidation sale of your nonexempt assets. Nonexempt assets are those not protected by federal or state statutes.

Most of your assets are exempt, and therefore, not subject to liquidation. This means you get to keep all of your stuff, in most cases. For example, under the federal and state exemption statutes, each individual is usually allowed to exempt (keep) their retirement accounts, cars, and home among other assets, so long as the equity in such assets is not substantial.

If you own assets with significant equity that are nonexempt under federal and state law, the bankruptcy may require you to liquidate the assets and

use the proceeds to pay the claims of creditors in full or partial satisfaction of the debts you owe. Any remaining unpaid debt would then be discharged (with some exceptions), and you would no longer be held responsible for it. You can only file under Chapter 7 if you pass an income eligibility test and have not filed a bankruptcy in the past 8 years.

If you earn too much income or your household income surpasses certain thresholds or you own substantial assets which are not otherwise exempt, you must file under Chapter 13 for relief. In a Chapter 13, you will submit a Plan of Reorganization where you propose to pay back some or all of your debts from future earnings over a period of time – usually between 36 to 60 months.

Covenants Not to Compete

From time to time, you may have been asked to execute a Covenant Not to Compete with your employer. What this means is that if you are terminated from the employment for whatever reason (voluntary, involuntary, or otherwise), you may be prohibited from competing with your former employer directly or indirectly through employment with a competitor.

We typically do not see non-compete agreements in low-skilled or minimum paying jobs. Some employers, however, have attempted to curtail or limit minimum wage earners from going to work with an industry competitor. Examples include fast-food sandwich restaurants or nail salons where sandwich makers and manicurists alike are threatened with legal action should they go work someplace else. Not any longer! The Illinois Freedom to Work Act, effective January 1, 2017, prohibits employers from entering into Covenants Not to Compete with low-wage employees earning minimum wage to $13 per hour. Such agreements are illegal and void as a matter of law.

But be mindful of any other covenants not to compete you may be asked to sign. Generally, courts will not uphold covenants not to compete if they are for too long a duration of time, too large in geographical scope, and/or the area of work is very common and does not require specialized skills or knowledge.

The dilemma you may have if presented with a covenant not to compete is the potential loss of an offer of employment or a subsequent promotion. Usually, covenants not to compete must be

supported with ample consideration, such as in an initial offer of employment, an increase in salary, or a promotion with additional benefits and perks.

Illinois Appellate Courts have ruled that continued employment of two years or more constitutes sufficient consideration to support a covenant not to compete.

Fifield v. Premier Dealer Services, 2013 Ill. App. 1st Dist. 120327. If presented with a covenant not to compete which appears to be extremely broad in duration and geographical scope, you may wish to suppress your complaints and sign it with the hope that if you ever needed to challenge it, you may do so because of its overly broad restrictions. Of course, Illinois judges are permitted to limit or curtail the geographical scope and time duration of such overly broad covenants not to compete, so this approach has its drawbacks as well. Either way, if presented with a covenant not to compete, seek sound legal advice prior to signing it.

Stateline

Shopiere couple says ‘happy trails’ to special collections

By Austin Montgomery Beloit Daily News

BELOIT, Wis. — The Stateline Area’s biggest Roy Rogers and Dale Evans fan is hanging up his cowboy boots and saying “happy trails” to his vast Western collection.

Richard McFall, a tall, kind-hearted jovial man, is preparing to see another portion of his large and valuable Westernthemed collectibles ride off into the sunset at auction Oct. 28.

McFall and his wife Marian have lived their lives in the Midwest similarly to how the superstar Western couple did out in California: by adopting and fostering hundreds of children and by the word of God, looking to always help others.

Rogers was a singer and actor and one of the most popular American Western stars in the early years of Hollywood, appearing in over 100 films and TV programs. Dale Evans was also a singer and songwriter who later starred in films with Rogers. She also helped co-host the highly successful TV series The Roy Rogers Show.

The McFalls, who said they are now ready to move forward with the auction of Richard’s collection, live on a quiet over-30-acre plot of land in a beautiful farmhouse that sits adjacent to a building housing the memorabilia. The couple said they knew it was time for the auction because they are getting older and hope to send the items to new caring homes.

Richard spent years amassing collectibles from the Western stars throughout their lives, while Marian collected dolls that represented the various children that had come through their lives. But the McFalls, who both grew up together in large families, knew from the beginning they wanted to care for children.

Since 1960, the couple helped foster over 250 children in the Stateline Area, also adopting five children and having three biological children. The couple said it was wonderful always having kids around, helping them with school work and being a

Fostering children in the 1960s was a far cry from what it is today, with the pair recalling they would pay the kids to work on the farm, compared to today where the state pays the foster parents for care of the children.

They have fostered actively from the 60s to the 90s.

They were able to meet Roy Rogers and Dale Evans during a visit to their California in the late 1990s.

“It was wonderful to meet them personally,” Marian said. “It was a privilege.”

Rogers and Evans were well-known for their adoptions and founders of multiple children’s charities. Both were outspoken Christians who were part of the Hollywood Christian Group that founded the Bel Air Church. Richard and Marian spent time on mission trips to North Dakota, Louisiana

and even as far as England and South Africa.

Richard said his interest in “The Singing Cowboy” got started after his mother would only allow him to watch Rogers’ movies in his childhood.

“She would let me watch them because

he wouldn’t kill anybody,” he said.

After meeting the stars in California, Richard said he was shocked at how personable they were.

“They were both down to earth, common people,” he said. “They lived frugally.”

After years of showing off his collection in a museum on their farm, Richard said he is ready to move on.

“It’s somewhat emotional on me,” he said of selling his collectibles. “But it’s nothing compared to when I sold my cows.

These are just toys and there’s a difference in the emotional attachments.”

Marian said she hopes this year’s auction fares better than the last one in 2006. At that auction, the online portal crashed and some items failed to reach their value potential, she said.

With three auctioneers set to handle the upcoming auction, the couple says they’ve been told to expect upward of 500 people over the course of the event.

Items up for bids include original Roy Rogers comic books, signed holsters and cowboy hats, along with multiple Frederic Remington sculptures. Richard even managed to save collectible Western rings and even coffee mugs with Rogers’ likeness on them.

“I didn’t smoke, I didn’t drink and my wife strongly suggested I leave wild women alone. So I had to have some vice,” Richard said of his collection when playfully teased

by Marian.

Prtizker leading early Dem polls

By Rich Miller

D

Capitol Fax

emocrat JB Pritzker spent $21 million on his gubernatorial campaign through the end of September and recently opened his tenth campaign field office. The billionaire spent more money on staff and consultants last quarter ($1.5 million) than any of his primary opponents raised.

The spending appears to be paying off.

A new Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll of 1,154 likely Democratic primary voters has Pritzker with 39 percent of the vote, far ahead of the rest of the pack.

Chris Kennedy, who has struggled to raise money and hasn’t run any TV ads to date, was at just 15 percent—a whopping 24 points behind the frontrunner Pritzker. Word is going around that one of Pritzker’s own recent polls had him ahead of Kennedy by 17 points.

State Sen. Daniel Biss, who has had more success at raising money than expected, but appears to be hoarding most of it for later, was at just 6 percent in the poll taken October 17-18 with a

margin of error of +/- 3 percent.

The other two Democrats, Tio Hardiman and Bob Daiber, each polled at just 1 percent. 47 percent of the poll’s respondents were made to mobile phones by live callers. Automated calls were made to landline users.

Is it over? No. The primary isn’t until March. With 36 percent of Democrats currently undecided, somebody could still make this a race—but that somebody is gonna have to run a better campaign than they are now. And right now, the only person running a full-on campaign operation is Pritzker.

“There will be plenty of polls in this race,” the Kennedy campaign claimed, “but clearly there’s a reluctance among Democratic voters to support JB. After spending more than $20 million and being unchallenged on TV for months, that he can only get about a third of the electorate to support him shows that voters are looking for fundamental change. They recognize JB is an extension of the status quo. There’s a long way to go until March and we’re confident that

Is youth football past its prime?

By Roger Pielke Jr.

The Conversation

igh school football participation may have peaked.

That’s the argument I make in a recent analysis for the international sports governance association Play the Game.

The conclusion is based on data indicating that after decades of continuous growth, high school football participation numbers peaked in 2009 when looking at the total number of players, and in 2013 if you looked at participation as a percentage of eligible boys.

The article led to many reactions. I heard from coaches and parents who explained that the national data jibe with their local experiences of declining participation. I also heard from a lot of people who were interested in the very public spat between the NFL and President Trump, and how this might influence future participation rates.

(Their concern was that some parents may keep their kids out of football if the sport becomes too politicized.)

The article also prompted some questions. Is the decline real? What does it mean for the future? And how does football compare to participation in other sports?

The decline in football participa-

tion is real. I spoke with Chris Boone, assistant director of publications and communications at the National Federation of State High School Associations, about their fantastic data set, which has tracked high school sports participation for almost 50 years.

Boone told me that the NFHS data set is the “best instrument there is” on participation, and “98 percent of U.S. high schools” are included in their annual surveys. The NFSH tracks more than 70 sports for each boys and girls.

The data look to be the best tool we have to track long-term trends in participation rates in U.S. high school sports.

As I explained, the decline in participation in football is relatively small – a decline of just of 50,000 players over seven years, from a base of 1.14 million in 2009. But, based on the coverage and quality of the data set, it also does appear to be real and not a statistical or methodological quirk.

No one knows how future participation will evolve. The recent inflection point – several decades of steady increases in football participation followed by several years of decline – could signal a long-term change or simply represent a short-term aberration.

What’s clear is that there are numerous factors in play that suggest that the

when voters tune into the race and hear Chris Kennedy’s message, we win.”

If you look at Kennedy’s poll that he released in July, its Kennedy-Pritzker matchup had Pritzker at 38 percent, which is about the same place as he is now. Kennedy was at 44, but this new poll shows he has dropped like a rock—perhaps because he isn’t on TV and doesn’t have nearly the ground game that Pritzker does. Either way, the margin is what’s important, and the margin is huge.

Pritzker leads in every region of the state. He’s at 39 percent in Chicago, 42 in suburban Cook County, 37 in the suburban collar counties and 39 Downstate.

Kennedy does best in Chicago and the collars, at 18 percent. Biss does best in suburban Cook, where he lives, at 11.

Biss slightly outpolls Kennedy 13-12 among 18-24 year olds, but Pritzker takes the traditionally low-turnout (particularly in off years) demographic with 27 percent. Pritzker leads his two top rivals Kennedy and Biss among women 39-15-5, and among men 40-16-8. More women (39 percent) are undecided than men (33 percent).

The poll found that 56 percent of Democrats have a favorable impression of Pritzker, while 7 percent have an unfavorable opinion. Another 16 percent hadn’t yet heard of the billionaire and 21 percent were neutral.

Kennedy’s favorables were 41 percent, and his unfavorables were just 4 percent. But 30 percent hadn’t heard of him and another 25 percent were neutral, signaling that if he could ever raise any real money he might possibly be able to make this a race. But that clock is ticking as Pritzker continues to spend millions.

Kennedy does best among the 65 and over crowd, with 17 percent. And his favorable numbers are significantly higher among respondents aged 55-64 (42 percent) and 65+ (43 percent). That makes sense since those folks would have been alive when Kennedy’s father Robert and his uncle John were in the public eye.

According to the poll, 69 percent of Democrats have not yet heard of Sen. Biss.

Surprisingly enough, that’s actually more than the 66 percent who hadn’t heard of Bob Daiber and the 60 percent who hadn’t heard of Tio Hardiman, although Hardiman did run against Pat Quinn in the 2014 Democratic primary.

Just 13 percent of Democrats gave Biss a favorable rating, compared to 3 percent who rated him unfavorably and 15 percent who were neutral. Both Hardiman and Daiber had slightly higher favorable ratings than Biss (15 percent for each).

It seems like everything in politics has been on an accelerated timetable this year, so Biss had better do something fast.

short-term trend may continue for a while. Most notably, there is mounting evidence of growing parental concerns over health risks. Changes to the game that enhance player safety, medical research that more precisely identifies the causal pathways leading to longterm health effects and even presidential politics all might play a role in the future popularity of football.

But make no mistake, football remains extremely popular.

To place these trends in a broader context, I’ve taken a deeper dive into the NFHS database for both boys’ and girls’ participation in high school sports.

Football is, by an overwhelming margin, the most popular high school sport for boys. Over 400,000 more boys played football than track and field, the second most popular sport.

Whatever the future of football, total participation numbers suggest that it’s likely going to be years before football is dethroned as the “king of sports” among boys.

Yet participation rates continue to evolve in these seven boys’ sports, and the numbers show that football isn’t the only sport that has seen as recent decline; wrestling has, too.

The biggest increases for boys have been in cross country (45 percent), soccer (37 percent) and outdoor track and field (25 percent). The smallest increase since 2000 is in basketball (2 percent), which has seen fairly constant participation rates.

As with boys, the sports seeing the greatest increases in participation for girls are cross country (46 percent) and soccer (43 percent).

The success and popularity of the 1999 Women’s World Cup-winning team no doubt played a role in the sport’s explosive popularity at the turn of the century. If recent rates are any indication, it won’t take long for soccer to surpass volleyball, basketball and even outdoor track and field. (We’ll have to wait and see if the U.S. men’s national team’s failure to make the 2018 World Cup has any detectable impact on participation.)

But if sport is a reflection of broader society, these numbers could be a response to the forces of globalization: Around the world, soccer and track have a much high prominence than they have historically had in the U.S. The globalization of international soccer, which includes soccer’s growing presence on U.S. television, would suggest that this trend might continue.

Of course, traditional American sports – football, baseball, softball, basketball – still dominate. Their growth has simply slowed since 2000.

But football’s recent decline – however slight – suggests that something’s at play at the grassroots of America’s most popular sport. Data are not destiny, but football lovers across the country should consider this evidence an early warning that all is not well in the sport.

A paranormal pilot

By Paula Hendrickson

R

Contributor

andall Cropp and Christopher Cowley are best friends and creative collaborators at their production company, Squared Media. Whether making an independent film or a shooting TV pilot, the co-creators—both of whom are based in the Rock River Valley—divide duties, with Cropp serving as producer, writer, and director and Cowley as editor and the director of photography.

They’ve landed a distribution deal for their film, The 5th Kind, but are currently working on a pilot for a reality show called The Paranormal Project. Given the season, I couldn’t pass up the chance to ask Cropp a few questions.

What led you to become a filmmaker?

Chris and I have known each other for 15 years and we’ve always been in love with art and creating. When we were kids we’d go out and film silly short videos.

As we grew up we started to realize that we didn’t need to leave the dream as a dream, we could work to make it a reality. We’re absolute cinephiles and consummate consumers of media so that naturally led us to gravitate toward making films, TV shows and more.

Tell us a bit about The 5th Kind and its local connections.

The 5th Kind is completely finished and in distribution. We sold the film in January and it went live about two months ago. You can find it on iTunes, Vudu, Fandango Now, Hulu, in Family Video and more. The whole film was self-produced and we cast all local actors.

We shot a vast majority of the film in the woods of Stronghold Castle and what we couldn’t get there, we went to some of the beautiful parks in and around the Rockford area. The film is based on a UFO that I had seen while standing outside in my yard, back when I lived in Rockford a few years ago.

What made you decide to make a reality series—and a paranormal one at that?

Chris and I have just about the most farfetched conversations in the world.

We’ll talk about aliens, conspiracy theories, legends, and myths... and I think that mindset naturally led us to look at

the paranormal. I can speak for both of us when I say that we believe that there is more to life than just ‘this’.

Chris adds, “I’ve just been fascinated with the paranormal and fringe science forever.”

So we decided to do an investigation at the old Shiller Piano Factory in Oregon.

We went in as total skeptics just to see if it was an idea worth exploring. We ended up capturing some incredible stuff and that was that—we knew we had to explore further. We both love traveling.

We love history. Chris is one of the most innovative editors and filmmakers that I know, so it just seemed a natural fit and I love to meet new people and learn everything about everything. We came up with The Paranormal Project and got right to work.

How are you raising funds for The Paranormal Project?

Luckily, as filmmakers, we were fortunate enough to be able to use our 5th Kind equipment for a lot of The Paranormal Project so that investment is paying off two-fold. But we still needed a little bit of extra funding in order to get into some hard-to-access locations. We put together a crowdsourcing campaign (gofundme.com/projectparanormal) in order to fill in the cracks of our budget.

We’ve been lucky with some amazingly gracious donors so far.

Tinker Cottage is one location you’ve investigated for the show. How many do

you have lined up so far?

So far we’ve filmed two actual locations. Tinker Swiss Cottage in Rockford and The Ashmore Estates in Ashmore.

We’ll head out to Watseka in just about two weeks to film our most ambitious investigation yet at the Watseka Wonder.

We’re going to look for a few more locations in and around Rockford to investigate and we hope that with these all in post-production we can come up with a solid 1-hour pilot episode to pitch to networks and investors.

What will set The Paranormal Project apart from other paranormal investigation series?

We are both absolutely in love with all

of the paranormal investigation shows.

From Ghost Hunters to Ghost Adventures, we love what they do. But we don’t want to copy them, we want to be ourselves.

What makes us different is that we go into each investigation as if it were a rigorously controlled experiment. We have scientific gear that has never before been used on those shows. We have techniques and fabricated experiments that we believe can make a huge difference in the field. Ultimately, our goal for each episode is to inform, investigate, and entertain. We are shooting The Paranormal Project like it’s a travel show, but we’re treating our content with the utmost seriousness that the field deserves.

How many episodes are you making?

Will you release them yourself—on a YouTube channel, perhaps—or are you shopping them around to studios or cable networks?

We have enough content right now to release three episodes. By the end of the year, we will have added another two episodes worth of content. Our goal is to take all of this and compress it into a pilot episode that we can pitch to networks.

We’ve got feelers out to several national networks and we feel really good about our chances. But if that falls through, we have backup plans. We’ve been DIY our entire lives so if a network passes, we’ll release it digitally and get our audience the content they deserve. R.

Local scene

Mysterious sounds at Rockford’s oldest bar

By Jack Kooistra

T

Guest Contributor

he events I am about to recount are absolutely true.

Many years ago, the owner of Mary’s Place made a big investment in the bar by upgrading the electrical system surrounding the stage.

The Mary’s live scene was growing very rapidly and it became imperative that the stage was adequately equipped with the ability to accommodate larger acts with sufficient power. The days of microphones taped to the top of broomsticks had long passed. The lack of proper power meant you never knew when a circuit breaker might blow, leaving the band silenced and in the dark.

In order to solve the problem, Mary’s enlisted the services of a union electrician. The electrician came in and installed several brand new outlets outlining the back of the stage with several independent circuits. The only problem was after the work was done a nasty ground loop was present creating an obnoxious buzzing noise. The buzzing noise wasn’t really noticeable when a band was loud—but in between songs, or if a band would play a down tempo song or chose to use lower dynamics the buzzing sound took center stage, detracting from the listening enjoyment of discerning Mary’s patrons. The tricky problem with the ground loop was it would randomly appear. Usually it would make itself known on a huge night when the bar was packed and at a time when I needed it to be gone the most.

Knowing a great deal of money had been spent on installing the outlets, I felt it was the responsibility of the electrician to remedy the problem. I decided to give him a call. I was really going to lay in to this guy for not getting the job done right. I explained the problem and to my surprise the electrician wasn’t defensive at all and offered to fix the problem at his own expense. I clearly remember him saying, “My reputation as an electrician means everything to me.”

Like a true professional, the electrician came in to Mary’s and meticulously went over all of his work and installed the very best outlets available, using the highest

quality wiring and shielding. These kind of outlets are found in hospitals where the outlets provide power to save lives.

The electrician took care of all of this free of charge.

Shockingly, during the next big show at Mary’s Place, that nasty noise again reared its ugly head. After all the electrician had done the problem was still there. I did call him one more time and he seemed upset and in an almost pleading voice, he told me he had done all he could do — there wasn’t anything else he could try. At this point I decided it was just going to be something we had to work around. I tried some cheap power conditioners to do the job but that didn’t work, and the power conditioner that could solve the problem was out of the

budget.

Some months went by and the ground loop would randomly appear. I came into work one night and the owner tells me our union electrician had committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. The only information we received was that he was discovered hanging dead by his son.

That’s when it hit me that I hadn’t heard the ground loop in a couple of weeks.

To this day, the Mary’s ground loop has never been heard since.

I won’t speculate that the electrician was so concerned about Mary’s ground loop that he would take his own life, but is it possible a man would take so much pride in his work that he would come back from the afterlife to solve a past work related issue? Spirits are frequently

reported as being able to manipulate small amounts of electricity. Is this story evidence of paranormal activity at Mary’s Place? Are ghosts and spirits of the past all interacting with Rockford’s oldest bar? I don’t want to sound alarmist or paranoid, but I will say that anything is possible at Mary’s.

Perhaps, we are never alone at a familiar bar along the Rock River. Generations that have come and gone have found comfort at Rockford’s oldest bar. Loved ones of the past retracing old foot steps may circle back to Mary’s to reminisce and watch over things. If you are quiet enough and listen closely enough, you might even hear the ethereal clink of two phantom glasses raised to wish you a Happy Halloween! R.

Literature

‘Way It Was’ taps aging Sinatra’s highs

By Douglass K. Daniel

F

Associated Press

rank Sinatra’s prime years as a singer were long behind him when Eliot Weisman managed his career. Yet even into his 70s “the Voice” could deliver what fans wanted or were willing to settle for. The challenge Weisman soon faced was how to showcase the best of a septuagenarian Sinatra while playing down the ravages of time and handling the unexpected — like Golda Meir’s Uzi. Anecdotes are the diamonds and lessons about problem-solving the gold to be mined in “The Way It Was: My Life with Frank Sinatra.” Weisman and co-author Jennifer Valoppi recount his 20-year relationship with Sinatra, one based on business and nurtured with trust and friendship. Other celebrities pop up, notably Liza Minnelli and Sammy Davis Jr., but the authors know who sells books even two decades after his death and salt Weisman’s memoir with Sinatra minutiae.

About that Uzi: Weisman became accustomed to the idea that Sinatra often carried a concealed handgun while touring. But he didn’t expect to find a subma-

chine gun, a gift from the grandmother of Israel, hidden aboard Sinatra’s jet.

In the early 1980s Weisman built his talent management company around

Sinatra, who kept Weisman busy overseeing his career and finding venues for him at home and abroad. Sinatra needed the work if he wanted to keep flying on private jets, frequenting the best hotels and restaurants, picking up checks, bestowing jewelry on his wife and slipping money to friends and strangers enduring tough times.

Near the end of their book Weisman and Valoppi write, “These are the stories that are rarely told about icons ... the stories of decline.” Like the time Weisman discovered Sinatra trimming his toupee and explaining, “You can’t believe how fast it’s growing.”

Actually, much of “The Way It Was” is a story of decline. For years age had been taking a toll on Sinatra’s vision and hearing. More and more often he forgot lyrics. There were fears that weaning Sinatra off an antidepressant blamed for his memory loss would lead to belligerent fits. For safety’s sake someone filed down the firing pin on his handgun.

Retirement didn’t seem to be on the table — covered as it was by all that money. Instead, one tour led to another and another. Sinatra was practically

bullied into following through on his 1993 “Duets” album. Selling millions of copies meant a sequel was quickly arranged to squeeze a bit more money out of the failing legend.

Sound wizards could sweeten the voice electronically, but a live concert was a different matter. While Weisman says he and Sinatra’s family didn’t want to see the legend embarrassed, they continued to take that chance and the concerts kept coming. On the flight home after two poor performances in Japan in 1994, Sinatra, then 79, pointed to a fellow passenger and asked, “Who’s that black girl?” It was Natalie Cole, his opening act.

One more gig followed and Sinatra was done for good.

Weisman says he believes Sinatra would have died sooner than he did, in 1998, had he stopped working earlier, but it comes off as a rationalization for keeping the money flowing. Besides, as his manager points out, Sinatra found joy in family and friends, not just performing.

Even this unique “Chairman of the Board” may have wished that, in the end, he’d spent more time with them and less time at the office.

Historical novel published last year is big seller in 2017

By Hillel Italie

AP National Writer

NEW YORK — From the moment she read an early copy of Amor Towles’ novel “A Gentleman in Moscow,” author-bookstore owner Ann Patchett had a feeling her customers would love the story of a Russian count accused by the Bolsheviks of succumbing to the “corruptions of his class” and held for decades under house arrest at a luxury hotel.

“The book is like a salve,” says Patchett, who chose “A Gentleman in Moscow” for the First Editions reading group at Parnussus Books in Nashville, Tennessee. “I think the world feels so disordered right now. The count’s refinement and genteel nature are exactly what we’re longing for. His world was also in shambles but he maintained his grace and humor.”

First released in September 2016, Towles’ lyrical narrative has become one of this year’s top word-of-mouth successes. Building on a solid first printing of 80,000 copies, “A Gentleman in Moscow” has sold more than 800,000 copies and remains in the top 100 on Amazon.com. The book has received nearly 6,000 reader reviews on Amazon.com and been rated more than 56,000 times on the

social media site Goodreads, with more than 80 percent of the reviews giving the novel 4 or 5 stars out of a possible 5. A television miniseries is being planned by eOne. “We now feel like such geniuses,” Patchett says.

Towles is a former partner in the investment firm Select Equity Group and author of a previous novel, “Rules of Civility,” a sophisticated tale of New York society in the 1930s. He first thought of “A Gentleman in Moscow” around eight years ago while staying at a favorite hotel in Geneva and recognizing people in the lobby. He soon came up the idea of a man confined indefinitely in a luxury hotel and thought of Russia, with its long history of house arrest, an appropriate setting. The novel follows Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov’s life from the 1920s to 1950s as he adapts to losing the world he grew up in.

“The book is, to some degree, a meditation on a set of aesthetic and moral values, as personified through an aristocrat, and how this contrasts to a 20th-century world,” says Towles, a Boston native who now lives in Manhattan. “I do not believe human progress, in its most complex sense, is linear. The advances we make in science and technology,

in the social order — most of these advances require shedding off of other aspects of life that had significant merits.”

Towles, whose previous novel came out six years ago, works at a regimented pace. Before attempting a full manuscript, he drafts a 40- to 50-page outline that includes plot points and character development. The book had the working title “The Songs of St. Petersburg,” but after considering dozens of other names, Towles decided on “A Gentleman in Moscow” and its hint of sophistication and suspense.

“When I’m done with the draft, I might make some meaningful changes, but a lot of the work is refinement of language,” he says.

“That means refining every sentence, every paragraph, to make it better. It also involves a lot of subtraction, seeing how two pages should be one page, how I don’t need two pages to communicate a particular moment.”

Awareness of the book’s potential came in phases for Towles, who turns 53 this month.

He shows no one his first draft, not even his wife, then gradually welcomes outside advice as he revises. He was pleased by the enthusiasm of his editor at Viking, Paul Slovak, and even more encouraged by the response of the sales officials because they have a more

objective viewpoint and “don’t praise things casually.” Slovak says the book might have benefited from the current “fascination” with Russia, but also thinks it appeals for its sense of atmosphere.

“The novel does provide a kind of panoramic view of 30 years of Russian history,” Slovak says.

Towles and his publisher both cite the early and continuing support of independent bookstores, which in the past have helped launch best-sellers ranging from Sue Monk Kidd’s “The Secret Life of Bees” to Charles Frazier’s “Cold Mountain.” At the Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston, “A Gentleman in Moscow” has sold 500 copies, more than double what even the most popular works usually sell at the store.

“When I first read it, I remember how the book has all these ideas that make you stop and reflect. You realize that he (the count) is not going anywhere, so he has time to reflect on life,” says Blue Willow owner Valerie Koehler. “We were sent around 12 copies and each of us at the store read it and loved it on our own. Sometimes, we read something together as a staff, but we’ve never had a book come together for us this way, with each of us individually coming to it.”

New life for My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult

By Steve Knopper Tribune News Service

Brace yourselves: The frontman for a long-standing punk band is about to say something kind about Chicago police officers. Franke Nardiello, also known as Groovie Mann of the industrial-turned-’90s-pop band My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, spent some of his teens at Dugan’s Bistro, the gay River North dance club famous for a drag queen called the Bearded Lady. But in the ‘70s, he was underage, so cops regularly hauled him out.

“They wouldn’t arrest you, or call you a f—, or anything like that,” recalls Nardiello, who came out in Chicago at the time. “Whereas I heard stories on the West Coast, from older men, even in Los Angeles, where cops would come into the bar, make them all stand up against the bar, take their driver’s licenses, tear them in half and hit them in the backs of their legs with a billy club. (In Chicago,) they were just like, ‘You shouldn’t be there.’

“That was when my whole world opened up,” Nardiello continues. “It was like mirrors and drag queens and disco fashion and lights and the whole room flashing. I’d never seen something so exciting.”

Nardiello and his musical partner, Buzz McCoy, would eventually go on to make some of the weirdest music of the late

‘80s and early ‘90s, a pastiche of B-movie dialogue and interview snippets (“I live for drugs — it’s great”), house-music beats, metal guitars, fuzzy synthesizers and lecherous shrieking. This bizarre noise occasionally congealed into something melodic, and at a time when non-commercial bands like Butthole Surfers and Meat Puppets were able to achieve MTV hits, Thrill Kill Kult landed on the pop and alternative-rock charts with 1991’s “Sex On Wheelz” and 1994’s “Above the Night.”

Nardiello, 60, cheerfully brushes off a question, during a half-hour phone interview from a tour bus somewhere between Albuquerque and Amarillo, Texas, about Thrill Kill Kult’s relationship with ‘90s nostalgia. This sort of thing is huge today — the I Love the ‘90s tour demonstrates the ticket-selling power of old-school hip-hop, and Backstreet Boys, Pokemon and Tamagotchis have recently made pop-cultural comebacks. “We’re not even in sync with anything like that, ever,” Nardiello says. “It’s a show. It’s more of a feeling and a sensibility that’s not showy. I guess it’s emotionally nostalgic. I don’t know.”

Long before Thrill Kill Kult had any hope of selling records, Groovie and Buzz met in Chicago in 1987. Groovie had moved on from glam rock and dance music and, inspired by

seeing the Ramones and others in Rockford, sang in bands like the DT’s and Special Affect (which included Chicago’s Al Jourgensen, who played guitar and soon departed to form Ministry); Marston “Buzz” Daley had been studying jazz piano at Berklee College of Music, quit to join arty punk bands in Boston, then relocated to Chicago. Groovie and Buzz aspired, at first, to make a movie, but changed the working title into a band name and collected the craziest musicians and dancers they could find to go on the road. Nardiello had been friends with Dannie Flesher and Jim Nash in the late ‘70s; when they opened influential record store and label Wax Trax, Thrill Kill Kult was a perfect fit.

Syncing with an industrial-thrash-disco scene that included noisy misfit bands like Skinny Puppy, KMFDM and Pigface, Thrill Kill Kult became famous for its highly visual shows, starring dominatrixes, strippers, whippings, barely simulated sex and tight, flashy, S&M-inspired costumes. The band regularly performed with a group of dancers known as the Bomb Gang Girlz. “In the beginning, it was like all the girls were waitresses or bartenders, just people that we liked that were cool to be around. It would be just like, ‘Oh, they’d be good for a Bomb Gang Girl,’ “ Nardiello says. “Even once we got into musician types, there was always a

certain type that fit in. We’re sort of like the family. We share with things. It’s not like the rock star thing. We sort of make fun of it.”

The band softened its sound with its third album, 1991’s “Sexplosion!,” a cartoonish alternative to harder-edged industrial bands like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, and its biggest hit “Sex On Wheelz” was charmingly explicit. After that, Thrill Kill Kult became the first band to sign with Interscope Records, the label that would become huge thanks to Dr. Dre, Eminem and No Doubt (and was the subject of HBO’s recent documentary “The Defiant Ones”). “We were like the weird New Kids on the Block,” Nardiello recalls.

“Jimmy (Iovine, the label’s co-founder, now heading Apple Music) was very intrigued and interested in what we were doing. But they failed to make that of any importance in their documentary because our name is too long or too scary or whatever.”

The band switched from Interscope to Rykodisc in the mid-’90s, and did more of the same, as more than 40 members cycled through both Thrill Kill Kult and the Bomb Gang Girlz. The band has nearly completed its first studio album since 2014’s “Spooky Tricks” and Nardiello hopes to release it early next year. “I’m excited that I made it this far,” he says. “And I am happy that I look as good as I do for my age.”

Mr. Green Car

Racing with electricity

By Allen Penticoff

I

Columnist

will start this column with the assumption that you know nothing of Formula type auto racing. I don’t know a lot myself, but as always, a little research fills in the gaps for these reports.

Grand Prix type road racing began in 1906. These are winding road courses, often lined with spectators. Over time dedicated racetracks were developed, yet there are still Grand Prix courses held on streets and roads, the Grand Prix of Monaco being perhaps the most famous.

In 1950, Formula One rules were developed to define the sport and cars to be used in the highest level of racing for the fastest single-seat racecars. The aim of the technical rules is to set parameters for the design of the chassis that is safe and effective while also making engines somewhat uniform to make the racing tight and competitive. The goal is to win by excellent driving, crew teamwork and preparation rather than just building a simply faster car.

All formula racing is somewhat similar.

Design limitations. Driver qualifications.

Track qualifications. Points are awarded to drivers and teams for fastest qualifying times (pole position), highest qualifying speeds, and finishing position in each race.

At the end of the year, the driver with the

most points and the team with the most points are declared champions.

While Formula One, or F1 as it is usually called, can cost over $120 million to design and develop a new car; ordinary folks can campaign a personal unsponsored racecar in the lower classes such as Formula V which uses air-cooled Volkswagen engines, or Formula Ford, that uses Ford Escort engines. It still is not cheap but affordable to a person with a really good job or business. Formula One is big international business with mega-dollars behind the factory sponsored teams and advertising sponsors. While not much of a spectator sport in the United States, it has a very big following in Europe, with 425 million fans watching on television.

The Formula One cars are capable of top speeds of 233 mph and those big open tires (the wheels are exposed with no bodywork except to cover the slim tube frame) can generate up to 6 g of force in cornering (by comparison, a new Corvette may be able to pull off 1g). They are not pleasant to drive, but nothing is faster outside of drag racing or salt flat speed runs.

That explained. Since 2014 there has been a new class — Formula E that uses pure electric drive for the race cars.

Formula E races are a bit different. Well, first is there is not much noise. No engines screaming at 15,000 rpm. The races are held on city-center streets with courses of

1 to 2 miles in length. Top speeds are about 140 mph — with 0-62 mph acceleration in about 3 seconds pushed by their 250 horsepower electric motors.

The first Formula E cars were all made by the same builder — with identical cars going to the ten teams that each has two drivers. During qualifying, the power output is limited to 200 kilowatts (kW) of power. During the 50-minute races, power is limited to 180 kW. Unique to Formula E; there is a mandatory pit stop during the race with a minimum pit time where the driver CHANGES CARS. Two pit crews are allowed to help with this transition. Tires are not allowed to be changed during the race unless damaged. The car change is because the battery has become depleted and it is not reasonable to replace or charge it. Without changing cars the race would be too short a duration to determine a skilled winner (or expose the sponsors).

Further, there is something new called “Fanboost” — where via social media, two weeks in advance up to the first six minutes of the race, fans can vote for favorite drivers. Three “winning” drivers are allowed one kilo-joule more power that can be used in a 180-200 kW window.

The design/build rules have been given some drivetrain flexibility in the last year.

Now BMW, Mercedes and Porsche are joining the fray in Formula E. A big name in motorsports, Indy champion, Dario

Franchitti, will be broadcast commentator.

Formula E also includes three support series. The first being the FE School Series; wherein school teams design, build and race their electric cars against one another.

Second is the Roborace that is to begin soon. Roborace cars will not have drivers.

They will be totally autonomous! I expect the big manufacturers to be serious about this series as they push us headlong towards the autonomous driving future.

Lastly will be the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy series. This series will use production Jaguar electric SUVs in competition beginning in late 2018.

To keep this racing as “green” as possible; Formula E teams use a bio-diesel by-product, glycerin, to power the generators used in recharging the race car batteries.

I confess I have yet to watch a Formula E race, but having just watched part of the U.S. Grand Prix Formula One race, I am excited to track down one of these events and go witness it first hand. Since this quiet racing has less of an impact on the environment and disturbs city residents very little, I hope this series will become popular and spread to cities around the nation. I can see where cities would vie for such an honor, to bring race teams, fans, spectators, international media and their dollars to their city. You listening, Rockford City Council? R.

Solar electricity as just another appliance

By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl Contributors

During the early years of the IREA Fair, a common theme regarding solar electricity was that someday it would be thought of as just another appliance in the home such as a refrigerator. Technology has now made it possible to think in such terms.

During our last solar tour, a visitor mentioned that a few years ago he installed a packaged solar system that came with an instructional video on how to assemble and mount it. He described it as a plug and play system. Following the instructions, he built a rack to hold it, assembled the system and plugged it into an electrical outlet with 30-amp service.

According to the web site, SolarPod, the system is approved by underwriters’ lab, is being sold throughout the country and has been installed in many states. It can be a stand alone system with or without battery

backup, or grid connected. It is available through Lowe’s, Menards and Northern Tool. We have been aware of the product for several years and have heard concerns regarding securing approvals in terms of electrical codes and whether utilities would allow such systems to be linked into their grid. In Illinois, since June, 2017, certain solar systems and devices must be connected by a certified installer.

Another technological device was covered by Karen Uhlenhuth which simplifies the connection of solar arrays to the grid. Known as ConnectDer, it reduces the electrical work required for an installation as it plugs directly into the meter socket, removing the need to connect to the household service panel. Connecting it takes about 10 minutes. For many homes, it eliminates the need to replace the existing circuit breaker box with a larger one and the need for an installer to enter

the house, saving on both equipment and labor costs.

If the systems are designed to be grid connected, they must gain the approval of the utilities that provides their service.

One installer believes that with the presence of numerous municipal utilities and electric cooperatives, the Midwest provides many opportunities for installing such solar systems.

If they gain wider market acceptance and policy approval, jobs for installers will be impacted.

Installing solar PV systems has long provided jobs for small business operations with an owner and a few employees.

In recent years we have witnessed some small installation operations closing down due to intense competition and dwindling customer interest. Some have refocused their efforts on less competitive markets

in other countries.

The new legislation passed in Illinois will increase the amount of solar electricity in the state, which will produce numerous installation opportunities.

Large installations such as solar farms or large commercial installations require professional involvement.

The solar revolution is well underway and with falling battery costs and expanding electric vehicle production, will present many clean energy opportunities for individuals and local communities.

Over 40 U.S. cities have declared they plan to become 100 percent powered by renewable energy. No community in Illinois is currently on that list. The first to make such a declaration could produce a true win-win for Illinois citizens, producing clean air benefits both for that community as well as the broader Illinois community.

More work for your backyard orchard

BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

In continuing our home orchard overview, we now reach the time to purchase trees. Within the past articles, I have covered deciding on varieties, spacing, rootstocks, and other criteria you need to decide on. You have one more decision before purchase which is either a whip/ bare root or the feathered type.

An apple or fruit tree purchased as a whip or bare root arrives to your doorstep looking like a twig in the ground. Make no mistake that this is your fruit tree. It will have some leaves on it and potentially some branches but commonly it comes looking like a twig.

A whip is more readily available from orchards for purchase. The downside is that it needs more training/pruning at establishment. You will also be delaying your harvest by one year.

A feathered type has multiple branches. It yields one year earlier and usually needs less training. A feathered tree will be more expensive. As you search for a feathered tree, you may not be able to find it for the variety you want to grow.

To summarize how you would pick out fruit trees, you would pick out your varieties that cross pollinate then determine the right rootstock that would have winter hardiness/height restric-

tion. Then you would decide on either feathered or whip.

When your trees arrive, you will space them according to projected height. You should also soak them in water and cut any damaged roots. A common rule of thumb is to dig a hole twice the width of the root ball. Place the tree in the center of the hole and fill hole with topsoil.

The graft union will need to be 2-3 inches above the soil line. Keep the area as weed free as possible with bare soil.

The more weed growth, the easier it is for animals to hide around the tree as it grows. You may find that after planting you will need to raise up the tree if it has settled too much.

You should also plant a deer guard around the trunk of the tree. This white piece of plastic can keep mammals away as the tree grows. You tree will also need support. Bamboo, metal, wood, and other structures can help support the tree during the first years. Keep in mind that dwarf trees will usually need support the rest of their lives.

Next week, I’ll get into Day 1 pruning and training. R. Grant McCarty is the Local Food and Smalls Farms Educator of the University of Illinois Extension. His tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

EPA abandons changes to biofuel program after lawmaker pressure

BY MICHAEL BIESECKER & DAVID PITT ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The head of the Environmental Protection Agency is looking to make peace on biofuels standards with a group of senators from corn-growing states who could upend President Donald Trump’s nominees for key regulatory posts.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt pledged in a letter to Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa and a half dozen other Republican lawmakers to take specific actions benefiting the biofuels industry.

Last summer, Pruitt proposed biofuels targets for 2017 and 2018 set slightly below current levels. This followed a push by oil companies to ease mandates included in the Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires ethanol from corn and soybeans to be blended into gasoline and diesel. Though Pruitt’s letter said he was still assessing the issue, EPA’s current analysis is that those standards should be set “equal to or higher” than the amounts previously proposed.

Trump during the presidential campaign had advocated protecting the renewable fuel standard, which helped his election performance in Iowa, where corn production is vital.

The move came a day after the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works delayed consideration of four Trump EPA nominees. Ernst, a member of the committee, had said she had concerns about

the nomination of Bill Wehrum to lead the EPA’s O�ce of Air and Radiation, which oversees the Renewable Fuel Standard.

After receiving Pruitt’s letter, Ernst said she is now prepared to vote in favor of Wehrum’s confirmation.

“I had to have those assurances in writing from the administrator before I was willing to move Bill Wehrum forward,” Ernst said Friday in a call with reporters from her home state. “I just didn’t want verbal assurances, I wanted it in writing.”

Iowa’s other senator, Chuck Grassley, also threatened earlier this week to scuttle Trump’s nominees unless Pruitt backed o�.

Iowa is the nation’s leading corn producer and one of the top soybean growers. With 43 ethanol refineries and 12 biodiesel plants, it also leads the nation in biofuels production.

Pruitt’s concessions on biofuels reaffirmed the political muscle wielded by the biofuels industry’s defenders in Congress.

It also upset the fossil fuels industry, which has counted on Pruitt as a reliable ally since his days fighting Obama-era carbon emissions restrictions as Oklahoma’s elected attorney general.

Chet Thompson, the president of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, said it was “astonishing” to see Pruitt appear to knuckle under. He said the current biofuels mandates are unworkable and drive up fuel costs.

Hog inventories climb in Illinois The hog industry is booming, and Illinois’ economy is benefiting through the addition of thousands of jobs.

The U.S. hog inventory has gone up 2 percent since this time last year, and Illinois has experienced about the same rate of growth over that time.

Jennifer Tirey, executive director of the Illinois Pork Producers Association, said the growth can be attributed to five new processing plants in Iowa, Missouri, Michigan and Minnesota.

The increase in facilities equals an increase in pork output.

“In 2016, we had 2.4 million roughly for capacity,” Tirey said. “Now, our capacity in 2017 is up to almost 2.6 million.”

The pork industry is one of the few in Illinois that still operates in the black, according to Tirey. It employs more than 10,000 people.

“Within our industry there are no minimum wage jobs,” Tirey said. “Most of the jobs are in the high teens for starting out if not higher, and a lot of the employees that work at these farms see a lot of internal movement.”

Tirey said the increase has an impact beyond the farm.

“It’s about raising the animals and sending that animal to market, and then we’re processing it, and so it’s such a large chain for our industry in Illinois,” Tirey said.

Hog inventory growth a�ects the global market. As hog numbers continue to grow, Tirey said it’s important to maintain free trade agreements.

“Twenty-seven percent of all of our product is exported overseas, so that is something that we are pushing to continue,” Tirey said.

Farmers rally after neighbor dies suddenly MILTON, Wis. — Neighbors came to help with the harvest after a 76-year-old farmer in southern Wisconsin died at home with corn still standing in his fields.

Milton farmers gathered to help Jeff McNally harvest the family’s crops following his father’s death, the Janesville Gazette reported .

“It’s just neighbors helping neighbors,” said Tom Reed, one of the area farmers who came to the McNally’s farm to help.

Neighbors Harold Hanuska, Doug Goodger and Chris Boston also helped with the harvesting.

Tom McNally died on Oct. 16. Besides serving in the U.S. Army and studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Tom McNally spent his whole life farming.

The McNallys have about 500 acres of corn and soybeans, Jeff McNally said.

long,” Hanuska said. “We’re harvesting high-moisture corn to go into the Harvestore.”

The high-moisture corn is used to feed cattle in the McNally’s dairy operation, but it dries out the longer it stays in the field.

Tom McNally and his father, William McNally, had some award winning herds, according to Janesville Gazette records.

The McNallys were honored for having the top herd in 1979 by the Rock County Dairy Herd Improvement Association.

Their 61 cows averaged more than 17,000 pounds of milk, which was quite an accomplishment decades ago.

They were then honored a decade later by the Tri State Breeders Cooperative for herd productivity.

The farm has been in the family for more than a century.

Sportfish recovery thanks to Packers fall with Clean Water Act: Scientists

Hundley struggles

By Diana Yates

U of I News Bureau

CHAMPAIGN — Populations of largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish and other sportfish are at the highest levels recorded in more than a century in the Illinois River, according to a new report. Their dramatic recovery, from populations close to zero near Chicago throughout much of the 20th century, began just after implementation of the Clean Water Act, the researchers say.

The new findings, reported in the journal BioScience, add a more hopeful chapter to the ecological history of the Illinois River, which was one of the most productive rivers of the Mississippi Valley until it began receiving Chicago’s human and animal waste on a large scale in 1900.

“The biggest single negative change that happened to the Illinois River in the 20th century was the opening of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in 1900,” said Illinois Natural History Survey researcher and fish biologist Daniel Gibson-Reinemer, the lead author of the study. “After that, a lot of the untreated sewage from Chicago started flowing right down the canal and into the Des Plaines River, which is the headwaters of the Illinois River.”

Before 1900, the Illinois River had been extraordinarily productive.

“In 1899, the Illinois River provided one-fourth of the total value and 15 percent of the total catch of all the commercial fisheries in all the rivers of the Mississippi Valley, despite the fact that it represented only 2.6 percent of the total length of the rivers,” the researchers wrote.

But when the canal opened, the surge in sewage-related nutrients spurred an overgrowth of microbes that depleted the water’s oxygen, suffocating other organisms, said Richard Sparks, an INHS aquatic ecologist and co-author of the study. Hydrogen sulfide gas bubbled up from the depths, bringing up rafts of sewage fungus and other decaying matter. An oxygen-starved “dead zone” slowly spread from north to south.

Scientists from the INHS had studied the Illinois River since before the canal was built. In 1957, they established a series of fish-monitoring stations along the river.

Over time, new stations were added so that sampling extended from near Chicago all the way downstream to the Mississippi River (see map). Since then, the researchers have conducted regular surveys up and down the river, using an electric charge to stun the fish for easy capture.

Sparks joined this monitoring program in 1972, when conditions in the river near Chicago were appalling.

“Back then, the only fish we were pick-

In 1957, scientists set up a series of fish-monitoring stations in the Illinois River. Eventually, stations were added so that sampling extended from near Chicago all the way downstream to the Mississippi River. Map, Danielle Ruffatto ing up were carp and goldfish, and it was awful seeing these fish,” he said. “They had tumors; they had eroded fins. They had various diseases, including what was called ‘pop-eye disease,’ where the eyes enlarged and just fell out of their eye sockets.”

Also in 1972, Congress passed the federal Clean Water Act, adding several amendments to earlier clean-water legislation. The CWA provided the regulatory framework and funding for the construction of infrastructure to capture stormwater and sewage for treatment.

Since then, more than $3 billion has been spent to construct a massive network of reservoirs and tunnels in and under Chicago to capture the city’s vast outpouring of sewage and stormwater runoff. The first of these projects, a reservoir aimed at reducing sewage effluent, became operational in 1980.

Starting in the late 1980s and continuing into the 21st century, populations of 13 sportfish species – including bluegill, catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, sunfish and walleye – increased dramatically in the Illinois River, the researchers report.

“In the late 1950s and the early 1960s, very close to Chicago, about 97 percent of the fish that we caught were common carp or goldfish. Those are invasive species, they’re not native, and they’re really pollution tolerant,” Gibson-Reinemer said. Today, those same species make up less than 3 percent of the researchers’ catch.

“If we lump all the sportfish together, we are now catching between 100 and 300 fish

per hour now in those same areas, where in the 1950s and 60s, we were basically catching none,” Gibson-Reinemer said.

Changes in water quality parallel the return of the sportfish, said study co-author Jerrod Parker, an INHS large river ecologist. He led a 2016 study that found a close relationship between the rebound in fish populations in the upper Illinois River after 1983 and reductions in nitrogen pollution (in the form of ammonia), increases in dissolved oxygen and improvements in water clarity.

All of these changes are linked to reductions in sewage effluent, he said.

Despite the good news, sportfish in the Illinois River still face many threats. Invasive Asian carp are multiplying and consuming zooplankton, a key food source for juvenile sportfish and other species. Hormonedisruptingchemicalsareleachingintotherivers from industrial and municipal sources, much of the watershed is intensively farmed and sedimentation is displacing valuable habitat.

“Even in such a landscape, rivers can experience substantial ecological turnaround,” the researchers wrote. “Demonstrating how far the Illinois Waterway has come clearly validates efforts to improve river ecosystems.”

“What we found in this new study would be no surprise to any biologist: If you clean up the environment, your fish and game populations will be better off,” Sparks said. “What is unique about this study is that, thanks to decades of research, we can document this in a scientifically robust way.”

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Quarterback Brett Hundley burned the New Orleans Saints on the run in his first NFL start.

The Green Bay Packers will need him to make plays with his right arm to keep their playoff hopes alive without injured star Aaron Rodgers.

Hundley rushed for 44 yards on three carries, including a 14-yard touchdown run, but finished 12 of 25 for 87 yards in the 26-17 loss Sunday to the Saints .

The Saints outscored the Packers 10-0 in the fourth quarter to pull away in a tight game. It was the kind of situation in which Rodgers thrives.

He’s out indefinitely with a broken right collarbone, so the Packers have turned to Hundley in his third season backing up Rodgers.

“I’ve been learning from him for three years. All I’ve got to say is, ‘Don’t write us off,’” Hundley said.

The Packers (4-3) have gone from Super Bowl contender to NFC question mark without Rodgers. The NFC North is wide open after two straight losses for Green Bay. It’s up to coach Mike McCarthy to get Hundley more comfortable dropping back.

“I needed to get a much better job of him working the drop-back passing game,” he said. “He tried to do a little too much and tried to go against it, but he’s competitive.

He made some big, big plays with his feet, and we’ll grow from that.”

It was a solid enough start for Green Bay, with the Packers scoring on the opening drive on a 46-yard touchdown run by Aaron Jones. The rookie running back finished with 131 yards on 17 carries.

But the successful start on the ground didn’t have the desired effect of opening up play-action opportunities.

“We took a couple shots, but I mean we got a (pass interference call) on one of them. The defensive backs didn’t bite too much,” Jones said.

Naturally, Hundley doesn’t think the Packers’ postseason hopes are shot. Green Bay still has four division games left following a bye week.

“We’ve got to get better and we will get better, but we’re not out,” Hundley said.

“We’ve got our division games in front of us and we can still win the division and make the playoffs, and down the road if Aaron is healthy and comes back and we’re still rolling, he’ll be available.”

Big day finally comes for Jackson

By Robert Zeglinski

wo years ago exactly on Sunday, Bears rookie free safety Eddie Jackson broke his leg, ending his college career with Alabama.

Jackson tweeted “... all I know is how to bounce back” in the initial reaction to his injury then.

Two years later, seven games into his NFL career, Jackson more than bounced back. He made history.

With an identical in length 75-yard fumble return touchdown and a pick-six that buoyed the Bears’ 17-3 victory over the Panthers, Jackson became the first player in NFL history to have multiple defensive touchdowns of at least 75 yards in one game. He was the first Bears defensive player to score two defensive touchdowns in one game since Fred Evans in 1948.

It’s been a grueling road to recovery for Jackson to get to this point. To become a budding foundational piece that makes history for a rising defense.

He never lost faith.

“I’ve dealt with adversity before and that’s one thing I can credit Alabama on.

They help you fight through adversity,” said Jackson. “I’ve been through a lot of stuff in my life so that was just a little minor stepping-stone. I came here – it’s a great organization, great training

staff and great teammates – so they did a great job keeping me up, keeping me going.”

What Jackson references there is the Bears’ wholehearted belief in him. The team invested enough draft capital - a fourth-round pick - and took their time in easing him back.

Through organized team activities and spring workouts, the Bears knew what they had in Jackson, but made sure to bring him along slowly until he was fully recovered. That’s time well paid off.

And perhaps, Jackson’s injury in many ways was a blessing in disguise as the Bears likely would’ve never had their hands on Jackson otherwise given his talent. It’s awfully funny how the roll of the dice goes.

At the midway point, Jackson has been everything the Bears have been seeking at safety and more for over a decade. The rangy rookie has been the center-fielder this defense needs as he’s flourished with a tremendous amount of responsibility. All his two-touchdown game against Carolina did was add the exclamation point to his early play.

That “the Bears have been seeking an answer at safety for over a decade” point is crucal because an interesting tidbit also emerged from Jackson’s breakout

game. His fumble return was the Bears’ longest since Week 2 of the 2004 season by, you guessed it, Mike Brown — the team’s best safety of the 21st century.

The last time the Bears had a reliable playmaker at the position. That is, until Jackson.

There was a time where Brown was seemingly around the ball and in the right place at the right time consistently for a Bears defense structured with Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, and others up front. The former Chicago safety had a knack for coming through when you needed him most.

Almost 10 years after his last season with the Bears, Jackson is channeling what Brown did, with different faces up front, such as Leonard Floyd and Danny Trevathan. On Sunday, Jackson was in the right place at the right time much to the chagrin of the Panthers, and delight of the Bears.

When the Bears needed him most, he was there.

Jackson’s mentor through the early season, the currently on injured reserve Quintin Demps, said being a ballhawk was a skill. It was something you had or you didn’t. Jackson possesses that ability.

And when he gets the ball in his hands, as evidenced, he knows what to do with it.

A player whose enjoying a resurgent

season of his own in Kyle Fuller knew this was coming for Jackson. But not in such a permeating fashion.

“It kind of reminded you today, that he had that in him. Good for him to be able to do that. Hopefully, that will be contagious for him; it’ll help us out,” said Fuller.

It’s unrealistic to expect two touchdowns from a safety every game, but as Fuller notes, it’s certainly within the realm of possibility for Jackson to at least be the safety that can finally generate takeaways. It’s infectious.

And that’s because Jackson’s start to the season was underscored. An NFL-level safety doing it all for the Bears’ secondary. A rookie stepping up to the challenge immediately. You just needed a reminder.

Could you imagine if Chicago had drafted a safety with their top pick in the 2017 Draft? They would’ve missed out on “Action” Jackson and the first game-changing day of many for the rookie.

“It’s a blessing. I owe it all to God and my teammates. You know the guys up front they did a great job putting pressure on the quarterback and forcing mistakes on him. So I just owe it to God and my teammates.” R. Robert is your guy for all things Bears. Find him on Twitter @RobertZeglinski.
