Aldermen approve convenience fees on water and garbage bills By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – Rockford aldermen, on Monday, approved an ordinance to allow the city to attach a convenience fee to some ways water and garbage bills are paid. There will now be a $3 fee for one-time phone payments and a $2 fee for one-time payments online. A $2 convenience fee would be added to bills that are mailed to residences. City officials say the reason for the fees are twofold. First, it they will help the city with the $1.8 million it costs every year to run its customer service center. That includes postage, the cost of paper and what the city is charged for taking payments over the phone. The pay-byphone system Rockford uses is a service provided through a bank that charges by the minute. That means for every call that comes in, the city is charged extra to process those payments.

Leaders say they are also aiming to steer more residents to sign up for electronic billing or ACH payments. “If you sign up electronically to have automatic withdrawals from your account, you avoid paying any fee,” Mayor Tom McNamara said. “If you receive a bill electronically and decide to drop it off in a lockbox out front – and you can do that 24 hours a day, seven days a week – you avoid a fee. If you decide to get an electronic bill (by email) and want to come in and pay it in person, you would avoid a fee. So, there’s a minimum of three ways to avoid that fee.” Ald. Tim Durkee, R-1, who was one of three no votes on the panel said adopting the fees would be adding another tax on residents. “The typical citizen, to pay a bill and we in a sense tax them, to pay a bill. I know that’s sort of re-framing it but it’s really what we are doing,” Durkee said. Alds. Linda McNeely, D-11, and Frank

Beach, R-10 also voted no. Fifth Ward Ald. Venita Hervey said the fees aren’t akin to taxes, and they can be avoided by choosing alternative, less costly ways to make payments. “It’s not whether you pay your bill, it’s how you pay it,” Hervey said. “We have to step into the 21st century at some point. If people don’t have a checking account, they can still pay free at the window like they’ve always done. What we’re doing is eliminating those types of payment methods that cost the city money.” The fees will take effect in 60 days. Meantime, residents will receive inserts in their water and garbage bills that explain the charges and ways to avoid them. Officials will also host at least two community forums before May 15. The full City Council meets on the first and third Monday of every month. Committee meetings are the second and fourth Monday. R.

Former RAEDC official pleads guilty to fraud By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – The former Rockford Area Economic and Development Council accused of embezzling more than $600,000 from the organization, pleaded guilty on Monday to two counts of fraud. Leilani Hillis, 60, pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud and one count of tax fraud in federal court. She was accused of using a company-issued credit card to make personal purchases totaling $632,718.99. According to the criminal complaint, Hillis concealed her crime by using the organization’s accounting codes to make it appear the purchases were for the organization’s benefit, and she forged the initials of the organization’s president on the expense reports. She issued and signed checks from the organization’s account to the bank, knowing the

payment included money to pay for the unauthorized purchases. Hillis also did not report money from the organization she used to pay the organization’s credit card for her unauthorized personal purchases. Officials say the illegal transactions happened over a 10-year period, when Hillis was vice president of operations in charge of facilities, human resources, accounting and the annual audit. She was signatory on the bank account and controlled RAEDC’s PayPal transactions. Hillis started with the Rockford Area Economic and Development Council in 2001. She was fired last year. “We (were) disheartened and disturbed by this discovery and are committed to doing everything in our power to maintain the trust and respect of our public and private investors, partners and community,” RAEDC CEO Nathan Bryant

said in a release last April. The Rock ford A rea Economic Development Council is a nonprofit that collaborates with businesses on the local, regional and national levels to help the local economy. It is funded by private and public dollars, including $150,000 per year from the City of Rockford and $100,000 from Winnebago County. “We appreciate the quick action by the RAEDC board and staff in informing their investors and the public in a timely and transparent manner,” Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara said. “RAEDC plays an important role in this community.” Sentencing is scheduled for June 27. Hillis faces up to 23 years in prison. She also faces fines of up to $250,000, or twice the gross gain or gross loss resulting from here offenses, whichever is greater, plus full restitution and a period of supervised release of up to five years.

London man seems to be free of HIV in second such case BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE (AP) – A London man appears to be free of the virus that causes AIDS after a stem cell transplant, the second success including the “Berlin patient,” doctors reported. The therapy had an early success with Timothy Ray Brown, a U.S. man treated in Germany who is 12 years post-transplant and still free of HIV. Until now, Brown is the only person thought to have been cured of infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Such transplants are dangerous and have failed in other patients. They’re also impractical to try to cure the millions already infected. The latest case “shows the cure of Timothy Brown was not a fluke and can be recreated,” said Dr. Keith Jerome of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle who had no role. He added that it could lead to a simpler approach that could be used more widely. The case, published online Monday by the journal Nature, was presented Tuesday at an HIV conference in Seattle. Brown sat in the front row, stood for a round of applause and shook hands with lead researcher Ravindra Gupta of University College London after Gupta presented details on the London patient. The patient has not been identified. He was diagnosed with HIV in 2003 and started taking drugs to control the infection in 2012. It’s unclear why he waited that long. He developed Hodgkin lymphoma that year and agreed to a stem cell transplant to treat the cancer in 2016.

With the right kind of donor, his doctors figured, the London patient might get a bonus beyond treating his cancer: a possible HIV cure. Doctors found a donor with a gene mutation that confers natural resistance to HIV. About 1 percent of people descended from northern Europeans have inherited the mutation from both parents and are immune to most HIV. The donor had this double copy of the mutation. That was “an improbable event,” said Gupta. “That’s why this has not been observed more frequently.” The transplant changed the London patient’s immune system, giving him the donor’s mutation and HIV resistance. The patient voluntarily stopped taking HIV drugs to see if the virus would come back. Usually, HIV patients expect to stay on daily pills for life to suppress the virus. When drugs are stopped, the virus roars back, usually in two to three weeks. That didn’t happen with the London patient. There is still no trace of the virus after 18 months o� the drugs. Researchers from eight countries are tracking 45 patients with cancer and HIV who have or will soon have stem cell transplants. One of them, a Dusseldorf, Germany, man, is showing no signs of HIV several months after stopping treatment drugs, but it is too soon to tell if he, too, could be in remission. Calling the London patient “cured” is tricky, Gupta said, because there is no standard definition for how long someone must remain free of virus and o� treatment drugs. “We are being cautious” to

call it remission for now, he said. Brown said he would like to meet the London patient and would encourage him to go public because “it’s been very useful for science and for giving hope to HIV-positive people, to people living with HIV,” he told The Associated Press Monday. Stem cell transplants typically are harsh procedures which start with radiation or chemotherapy to damage the body’s existing immune system and make room for a new one. There are complications too. Brown had to have a second stem cell transplant when his leukemia returned. Compared to Brown, the London patient had a less punishing form of chemotherapy to get ready for the transplant, didn’t have radiation and had only a mild reaction to the transplant. Dr. Gero Hutter, the German doctor who treated Brown, called the new case “great news” and “one piece in the HIV cure puzzle.”

Food and Drug Administration

FDA chief Scott Gottlieb steps down after nearly 2 years By Matthew Perrone Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) – Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is stepping down after nearly two years leading the agency’s response to a host of public health challenges, including the opioid epidemic, rising drug prices and underage vaping. Gottlieb cited “the challenge of being apart from my family” in Connecticut when announcing his departure Tuesday in a note to FDA staff. He’ll leave next month. President Donald Trump tapped Gottlieb in 2017 to “cut red tape” at the FDA. But Gottlieb bucked expectations by pushing the agency to expand its authorities in several key ways, including an unprecedented effort to make cigarettes less addictive by requiring lower nicotine levels . The 46-year-old physician and former conservative pundit advanced his agenda while managing to maintain the support of the president, Republicans and key Democrats in Congress. Still, he departs with his most sweeping plans unfinished, including the initiative to make cigarettes less addictive. “Scott deserves very strong credit for his stance on tobacco, I only wish he would have seen some of those efforts through to fruition,” said Dr. David Kessler, who led the FDA from 1990 to 1997. “In the end you have to bring those things home.” Harvard University professor Daniel Carpenter said Gottlieb benefited from

comparisons with more unconventional, anti-regulatory Trump appointees. “He could govern from a place of moderation and get all the more credit because so many other agencies and positions under the Trump administration were either falling apart or vacant,” said Carpenter, who has written extensively on the FDA. In recent months, Gottlieb has come under fire for not acting more forcefully to address an explosion in teenage use of electronic cigarettes, especially those with candy and fruit flavors. Under Gottlieb, the FDA has emphasized vaping as a potential tool to wean adult smokers off traditional cigarettes. And in a widely criticized move, Gottlieb delayed key regulations on vaping devices until 2022, in part, to avoid over-regulating the industry. Anti-smoking groups are now suing the agency to begin reviewing all e-cigarettes. While the FDA has proposed steps to keep e-cigarettes away from teenagers, including tightening restrictions on convenience store sales, it’s unclear whether they will be enough to reverse the trend. The pushback against FDA’s approach to vaping threatens to overshadow what is by far Gottlieb’s most far-reaching plan. Gottlieb announced in May 2017 the FDA would seek to require tobacco companies to drastically cut nicotine in cigarettes, in a bid to help adult smokers quit. The agency has had the authority to regulate nicotine levels since 2009,

though no previous FDA commissioner tried to use it. The agency is still in the early stages of writing regulations that would standardize nicotine in cigarettes. Dr. Peter Lurie, a former senior FDA official under President Barack Obama, said Gottlieb embraced the agency’s regulatory powers where other Trump appointees tried to weaken their agencies. “He tried to use its authority in an appropriate fashion,” Lurie said, noting the FDA’s recent announcements on dietary supplements and work to continue food inspections during the government shutdown. Elsewhere, Gottlieb targeted drug industr y tactics used to maintain sky-high prices on older drugs, calling them “shenanigans” and “deceptions.” For decades, FDA commissioners steered clear of the issue, noting that the FDA has no direct role in regulating U.S. medicine prices, which are set by drugmakers. But Gottlieb said the agency could help spur competition and reshuffled its review procedures to speed up approvals of lower-cost generic drugs. Early in his tenure, Gottlieb identified the epidemic of opioid abuse and overdoses as the “biggest crisis facing the nation.” But there have been few clear victories against the problem for either the FDA or the Trump administration. Drug overdose deaths hit their highest level on record in 2017 — the most recent year for which federal data is available. Fatal overdoses are largely driven by illegal opioids including fentanyl and heroin,

though the epidemic was trigged by legal prescription painkillers like OxyContin. As FDA Commissioner, Gottlieb boosted the agency’s inspectors at U.S. mail facilities to try and intercept illegal opioid shipments from China and other nations. It’s not yet clear whether that effort has reduced drug abuse or overdose rates. Trump tweeted that Gottlieb “has done an absolutely terrific job,” adding “he and his talents will be greatly missed.” On FDA’s more day-to-day responsibilities, Gottlieb continued a multi-decade, bipartisan shift toward faster, more streamlined product reviews for drugs and medical devices. That issue has long been the top priority for the powerful pharmaceutical and device industries, which spend millions lobbying Congress and the federal government annually to ensure speedy market access for their products. FDA approvals for first-of-a-kind drugs, generic drugs and medical devices hit all-time highs last year. Gottlieb has long been a favorite of the industry, due to his focus on cutting unnecessary regulations and speeding product approvals. He served in the FDA under George W. Bush and then spent nearly a decade as a conservative commentator at the American Enterprise Institute, while also working as a venture capitalist and industry consultant.

Alabama Tornado

Aftermath: Alabama’s tornado dead range in age from 6 to 89 By Kim Chandler and Jay Reeves Associated Press

BEAUREGARD, Ala. (AP) – The youngest victim was 6, the oldest 89. One extended family lost seven members. The 23 people killed in the nation’s deadliest tornado in nearly six years came into focus Tuesday with the release of their names by coroner.

They included 6-year-old Armando Hernandez Jr., known as “AJ,” torn from his father’s arms two days after singing in his first-grade class musical; 10-yearold Taylor Thornton, who loved horses and was visiting a friend’s home when the twister struck; and Jimmy Lee Jones, 89, who perished along with his wife of six decades, Mary Louise, and one of

their sons. “Just keep those families in your prayers,” Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said, two days after the disaster. The search for victims, pets and belongings in and around the devastated rural community of Beauregard continued amid the din of beeping heavy machinery and whining chain saws. But Sheriff Jay Jones said the list of the missing had shrunk from dozens to just seven or eight. “We’ve got piles of rubble that we are searching just to make sure,” said Opelika Fire Chief Byron Prather Jr. “We don’t think we’ll find nobody there, but we don’t want to leave any stone unturned.” Four children were killed, ages 6, 8, 9 and 10. Prather said the mother of 6-year-old AJ rushed to the scene Sunday in distress. “She just said her child was swept from the father’s arms,” Prather said. “A mother’s love for her child. How do you tell a mom that she can’t go look for her child? She went and tried to find her child, like everybody else.” Jackie Jones said she and her siblings rushed to her parents’ house after the storm passed and nobody answered the phone. “They usually answer on the first ring,” she said. The siblings found the home reduced to its foundation. One of their two brothers who lived at the house survived and was taken to a hospital. But Jimmy Lee and Mary Louise Jones, married for more than 60 years, had died along with their 53-year-old son Emmanuel. The body of David Wayne Dean, 53, was found by his son in a neighbor’s yard after the twister demolished his mobile home. He was known as “Roaddog” because of his love for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. “He was done and gone before we got to him,” said his sobbing widow, Carol Dean, who was at work at Walmart when the storm hit. “My life is gone. He was the reason I lived, the reason that I got up.” The tornado was an EF4 with winds estimated at 170 mph (274 kph) and carved a path of destruction up to ninetenths of a mile (1.4 kilometers) wide in Alabama, scraping up the earth in a phenomenon known as “ground rowing,” the National Weather Service said. It traveled a remarkable 70 miles or so through Alabama and Georgia, where it caused more damage. Ninety people were injured in the Beauregard area, authorities said. Most have been released from the hospital.

President Donald Trump said he will visit Alabama on Friday to see the damage. “It’s been a tragic situation, but a lot of good work is being done,” he said at the White House. Along the two-lane country road where some of the victims died, firefighters used heavy machinery to overturn pieces of houses that were blown into a gulley. A car sat atop the remains of one house. A red-brick foundation was all that was left at another lot. The search took its toll around Beauregard, an unincorporated area of roughly 10,000 people near the Georgia line. Church chaplain Ike Mathews walked down a road lined with broken trees and debris as he went to check on members of his congregation and emergency workers. “Yesterday I talked to some team members who had found bodies. They’re hurting. The community is torn up. They started crying talking about it,” said Mathews, an associate pastor at Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church. Many of the people living in the area are senior citizens who moved to the country after retiring from textile mills or an old magnetic-tape manufacturing plant that closed years ago, Mathews said. “They start with a mobile home and hope they can build a house someday. They invest in their homes, and they have a sense of legacy. It’s something to leave their kids and grandkids,” he said. It was the deadliest tornado to hit the U.S. since May 2013, when an EF5 twister killed 24 people in Moore, Oklahoma. Government teams surveying storm damage confirmed that at least 20 tornadoes struck on Sunday in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Cindy Sanford said one of her neighbors in Beauregard died in the storm, and another neighbor remained missing Tuesday. “I pray to God that they find her,” Sanford said as picked through remains of her home, which tumbled in the wind and is now scattered across neighbors’ land. Sanford said she left home with her 5-year-old grandson about five minutes before the storm struck after she got a feeling it was unsafe. “It was God,” she said. “And then I heard the siren.”

Venezuela’s adversaries seek to show resolve in crisis By Christopher Torchia Associated Press

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – Appearing a day after his rival returned home to a tumultuous welcome, President Nicolas Maduro denounced his opponents in a speech Tuesday at a military ceremony but did not refer by name to opposition leader Juan Guaido. The man who says he is the rightful president, meanwhile, escalated his campaign to topple Maduro with an appeal for support from state unions, long reliant on government handouts. The dueling scenes, evidence of the rift in a country in crisis, came as Venezuelans and the world awaited the next moves of two adversaries maneuvering for an edge in what could be a protracted struggle. The Maduro government’s decision not to move against Guaido upon his return to Venezuela on Monday reflects the intense pressure Maduro faces and, possibly, a calculation that restraint is the best tactic for now. Still, Maduro was defiant during a ceremony marking the sixth anniversary of the death of his predecessor and mentor, Hugo Chavez, belittling a “minority of opportunists and cowards.” He said government supporters would hold a rally on Saturday, a “day of anti-imperialism” in his words, and a counter to U.S.backed Guaido’s plans to hold nationwide protests the same day. M adu ro a lso pi n ne d me da ls on members of the security forces involved in a crackdown on Guaido’s failed Feb. 23 attempt to bring humanitarian aid into Venezuela from Brazil and Colombia. Maduro has described the attempt, backed by the U.S. and its allies, as part of a plot to overthrow his government. Hours earlier, Guaido said police officials were among those at a meeting that he held with leaders of public employee unions, which rely heavily on subsidies from Maduro’s government to get by in a country suffering from hyperinflation and shortages of food and other necessities. “We’re not going to collaborate any longer with the dictatorship,” Guaido said after a meeting at the offices of an engineers’ association in Caracas. He urged state workers to prepare for a strike, though no date was given and he said an immediate priority will be to promote a law guaranteeing rights for public workers. The 35-year-old leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly said he would call a meeting of the legislature

on Wednesday to craft the law. Guaido and his backers say Maduro’s re-election last year was invalid, making the legislative leader interim president. At least one pro-Maduro Supreme Court judge has accused Guaido of illegally usurping power, putting him at risk of arrest. Guaido had shrouded the route and timing of his return Monday in secrecy amid concerns he might be detained. Yet he breezed through airport immigration checks after a commercial flight from Panama and brazenly called for Maduro’s downfall at a rally where the presence of security forces was minimal. The United States and other countries had warned Maduro not to move against his adversary, and he possibly realized arresting his foe could generate more street protests. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, an influential voice in advocating U.S measures against Maduro, warned that the Venezuelan government could still act against Guaido in ways that it has refined against other opposition voices. “Issue a standing arrest warrant from a rubber stamp court. Then at a time of their choosing, arrest him late at night with no media, diplomats or supporters around,” Rubio warned in a tweet. While Guaido’s presence is likely to add at least short-term momentum to his campaign for political change, Maduro has proven resilient and still controls the organs of state, including the critical loyalty of top military officers. Some analysts speculate the two sides might consider behind-the-scenes negotiations as a way to end the standoff. The U.S. envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, said in Washington that Maduro had presided over economic decline and human rights violations in Venezuela. “In every democratic transition in Latin America there are negotiations, but I just would say it is extremely difficult to see how he could play a positive role in a democratic election,” Abrams said. Venezuela is gripped by a humanitarian crisis that is expected to worsen as U.S. oil sanctions designed to put more pressure on Maduro take their toll. The United States and some 50 other countries have recognized Guaido as the legitimate leader of Venezuela and have urged Maduro, who is backed by Russia, to resign so the country can prepare for elections. Guaido left Venezuela last month despite a court order banning him from foreign travel and visited Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Ecuador.

PROVIDING

Industrial, tech companies EXCELLENT pull US stocks slightly lower By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga Associated Press

A mostly listless day on Wall Street ended Tuesday with stocks closing slightly lower as losses in industrial, technology and financial stocks outweighed gains elsewhere in the market. Stocks wavered between small gains and losses through much of the day, with communications companies and retailers bucking the overall market decline. Mixed data on new U.S. home sales pulled homebuilders lower. The stagnant trading came as investors looked ahead to a busy stretch of economic data releases later this week and the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate policy meeting in two weeks. Meanwhile, traders continued to wait for new details on the trade talks between the U.S. and China. Stock prices already reflect the recent investor optimism that the world’s biggest economies are close to reaching a deal, noted Bill Northey, senior investment director at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. “We’ll know those details when they’re announced,” he said. “That’s part of what

the market is digesting.” The S&P 500 index dropped 3.16 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,789.65. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 13.02 points, or 0.1 percent, to 25,806.63. The Nasdaq composite slipped 1.21 points, or 0.02 percent, to 7,576.36. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies gave up 7.15 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,568.28. Major indexes in Europe finished higher. The U.S. and China have pulled back from an immediate escalation of their damaging trade war since they started negotiating last month. President Donald Trump postponed a deadline for raising tariffs on more Chinese goods, citing progress in a series of talks. Media reports on Monday suggested the nations could strike a deal this month. The market has often jumped on hopes that progress was being made on the trade talks, only to fall back later as details didn’t come through. “We’re going to need some additional news to move higher from here,” Northey said. Absent news on trade, investors have been keeping an eye on retailers, many

of which have been reporting quarterly results the past two weeks. Target and Kohl’s led retailers higher Tuesday after the companies reported encouraging quarterly results and outlooks. Many retailers had to grapple with an overall slowdown in sales at the end of last year on top of growing competition from Amazon and other e-commerce companies. Target noted strong online sales and traffic growth during the crucial holiday sales quarter, however. The stock climbed 4.6 percent. Kohl’s jumped 7.3 percent. Homebuilders declined broadly after the Commerce Department said sales of new U.S. homes rose 3.7 percent in December, the highest pace in seven months. Even so, sales were down from a year earlier. Meritage Homes slid 3.6 percent. Industrial and technology stocks accounted for much of the market’s slide Tuesday, offsetting strength in other sectors. General Electric slumped 4.7 percent, while chipmaker Micron Technologies gave up 2.6 percent. Hertz dropped 9.9 percent after activist investor Carl Icahn cut his holdings in the car rental company. Papa John’s International rose 5 percent after reaching a settlement with founder John Schnatter that calls for him step down from the board once an independent director replaces him. The company has been floundering since Schnatter took a series of missteps, first blaming disappointing sales on NFL player protests and then using a racial slur during a company conference call. He stepped down as CEO in 2017 and later resigned as chairman of the board. U.S. crude slipped 0.1 percent to settle at $56.56 a barrel in New York.

TUBE TALK

From the mind of Neil Gaiman BY PAULA HENDRICKSON CONTRIBUTOR

Fantasy, horror, and sci-fi fans love Neil Gaiman. Why? Because Gaiman is one of the most creative and prolific storytellers around, working in multiple formats – graphic novels, traditional novels, films and television. (Gaiman has even written a couple episodes of Doctor Who.) If you’re not already familiar with Gaiman’s prodigious output, you soon will be. Starz’s series, American Gods – which returns for a second season March 10 – is based on his award-winning novel of the same name, and Gaiman is also one of the show’s writers. And later this year, a mini-series based on Good Omens, written by Gaiman, based on a novel he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video. Gaiman serves as

an executive producer on both shows. Both works delve into the concepts of good and evil, and the often tenuous line between the two. American Gods is a bit trippy and unspools slowly, but is essentially about a power struggle between the old guard and new. In this case, older and sometimes long-forgotten deities asserting themselves against a new crop of lower-case gods of things like technology and new media. It can be brutal, thought-provoking, and even funny at times. Ian McShane (Deadwood, Lovejoy) stars as Mr. Wednesday, a mischievous older god who knows war is coming. In season one he recruited a human ex-con with nothing to lose, Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle, The 100), to help him recruit ancient and sometimes obscure gods to join the fight.

The series also showcases the talents of some of today’s best character actors. Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) may have the juiciest role of all, as her Media god turns up as di�erent cultural icons including Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, and David Bowie in the first season alone. Pablo Schreiber (Orange is the New Black) makes living leprechaun Mad Sweeney a scene stealer every time he’s on screen. Crispin Glover (Back to the Future) is as creepy as you’d expect as Mr. World. And this season I’m excited to see Sakina Ja�rey (Timeless) take on the role of Mama-ji. An equally impressive cast is just one of the many reasons Gaiman’s fans are excited to see Good Omens. David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) co-star, respectively, as demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale. The two have long

co-existed on earth – and have even come to enjoy earth and its inhabitants – but are forced to team up to prevent Armageddon. John Hamm (Mad Men) plays the Archangel Gabriel, Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) plays Satan, and Frances McDormand plays God. While American Gods is a dark fantasy drama with comedic elements, Good Omens is a dark fantasy comedy with one of the unlikeliest buddy stories you can imagine. Unless, of course, you’ve also seen or read American Gods. R.

Programming Notes:

American Gods season 2 premiere is Sunday, March 10 at 7 p.m. CT on Starz. Good Omens releases Friday, May 31 on Amazon Prime Video.

Top 5 Tips to Surviving the Last of the Cold Weather

Meltfest Bike Ride

By Elizabeth Miller Rockford Area CVB

I recently came across a fun pie chart online which broke down the seasons throughout the year. Summer was a good chunk of the pie, spring and fall were small slices, and winter took up the majority of the space (no surprise there). Except within winter was a teeny tiny sliver labeled "that one warm day in March where you get overly optimistic." I know with all of the snow and ice this winter, it's difficult to even get optimistic about warm weather at this point. But never fear, the warm weather is in sight and will be here to stay before you know it. But until then, here are my top 5 tips to surviving the last of the cold weather:

Enjoy a Hot Cup of Coffee!

On days that are still less than warm, find comfort in the fact that you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee from Rockford Roasting Company without worrying about

Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens overheating (like when the weather is too warm). I'm a big fan of good ole' vanilla lattes, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you're having trouble deciding, just ask anyone working there for a recommendation and I'm sure you'll find something you love! Rockford Roasting Company is located at 206 N. Main Street in Rockford.

Get Out That Bicycle or Running Shoes

I, for one, know that biking when it's 95 degrees outside is not a good situation, so enjoy this brief period of time where you only have to wear a couple layers when running or biking outside! (Just make sure that all the ice has fully melted from your path!) If it's still a little chilly out for you now to bring your bike out yet, Meltfest (on Saturday, March 23) is a great time to get it out for the first time! You can participate in the group bike ride or the 5k race!

Channel Summertime with the Help of Candle Crest

Candle Crest is always striving to come up with new fragrances, and since spring is just around the corner, you'll be seeing a lot more tropical-scented candles! They have a ton of candles in fruit scents that will make you feel like you're sipping tropical cocktails on the beach when you light one... even if you're just in your house and there's still snow on the ground. Candle Crest is located at 1418 20th Street in Rockford.

Take an Afternoon Vacation to the Tropics

Do the dips in temperature have you bummed out? One stop at Nicholas Conservatory will turn that frown upside down! It's hard to have a bad attitude when you're immersed with hundreds of unique, tropical plants in a building where it's constantly 80 degrees.

Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens is located at 1354 N. 2nd Street in Rockford.

Keep an Eye Out for Seasonal Openings

This time of year is always exciting because everything that's been closed for winter is slowly but surely opening again! In just a few short weeks, you'll even be able to eat delicious ice cream from Dairyhaus! Ice cream is the ultimate warm weather food, so eating it must bring on the warm weather...right? Dairyhaus is located at 113 E. Main Street in Rockton. Don't worry friends, we'll be basking in the warm spring/summer sun soon enough! But until then, I hope this list helps!

Concrete’s role in climate change Soil health solutions BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

Last week, I spoke about soil health and how it a�ects your soil’s. As a reminder, soil health problems are compaction, soilborne diseases, poor aggregation, weeds, and low nutrient/ water holding capacity. If you encounter many of these soil health problems, they may keep your plants from growing and yielding. While there are soil health solutions, many of these can take years to address your problems. This should not discourage you though as good soil management habits will address these problems. Soil health solutions are organic matter, cover crops, and crop rotation. Organic matters are compost, manure, mulch, and others. These materials break down into the soil. Many of them have very low nutrients so they are not considered fertilizers. Most organic matters will address soil compaction, water management, and aggregation. Organic matters breakdown over di�erent periods of time. A compost may be broken down over years whereas wood mulch may take longer. It is through this decomposition that your soil benefits. You should add an organic matter every year for vegetables. Add your organic matter in the spring if you are using aged manure/compost. If you are using raw manure, this should be added in the fall. Try to add diverse

organic matters. If you used compost last year, look to aged manure this year. Cover crops are a crop grown during the growing season, between growing seasons, or at the end of the growing season. Commonly, rye or wheat is a cover crop grown by corn and soybean farmers in the fall. On the small scale, cover crops can work well as you are basically growing your own organic matters, above and below ground. Cover crops can address compaction, aggregation, weed issues, and low nutrient/ water holding capacity. Do your homework on cover crops in determining which ones might work well for you. Our last soil health solution is crop rotation. In order to address a soilborne disease, the recommendation is to crop rotate from that area for at least three years. This means that if I grew tomatoes last year, I will not grow them or their family member (pepper, eggplant, potatoes) in that row until 2021. Rotations can sometimes address weed problems too. By adopting these soil health habits of crop rotation, organic matters, and cover crops, your soil health problems can start to be remediated over time. R.

Building Lives, Building Futures

We’re Hiring!

BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

The Guardian ran a week of articles examining the global use of concrete and its environmental impacts. It is the most widely used product in the world with many benefits but it also poses substantial dangers to both people and the planet. If its use were classified as a country it would be the largest emitter of carbon after China and the United States. Its existing mass is estimated to outweigh the combined carbon mass of every tree, shrub and bush in the world. It is the foundation of modern life and its presence is ubiquitous as is the limestone from which it is manufactured. When combined with steel it is very durable and used in much of the world’s infrastructure. It’s in sidewalks, streets, roads, parking lots, shopping malls, airports, stadiums, university campuses, ports, dams, flood and sound protection walls, small buildings and skyscrapers. These structures are integral to the global society but their environmental impacts are seldom considered. They grab our attention when a new quarry is opened, new construction is occurring, and when existing structures deteriorate. A section of North Shore Drive near the Chicago River bridge was recently closed to tra�c due its deteriorated condition. Two signs along I-80 near the Joliet bridge warn drivers to cross the bridge at their own risk. Cement has environmental impacts at all stages of its manufacture. Dust, gases, noise, and vibrations from operating machinery and blasting in quarries are most apparent. Large amounts of fuel and water are consumed in its processing; fuels burned release climate changing gases. Its use intrudes into the landscape destroying the free services ecosystems provide such as

flood control, water purification, and wildlife habitat, all contributing to the loss of biological diversity. Beyond the environmental damage is the damage done to workers in the industry as well as the public at large. Wet cement can burn skin while dry powdered cement can burn eyes or lungs. After its useful life is over, it is commonly trucked to landfills and deposited there. Some of it is crushed and recycled as road fill. Current research seeks new ways of improving the quality of crushed materials to make more desirable products for wider use while reducing the need to mine for new resources. With nearly 10 billion people expected by 2050 the drive to cut carbon emissions will require finding materials to replace concrete or reduce the amount of cement in the mixture as making it involves burning fossil fuels to generate very high temperatures. Cross-laminated wood is being used to construct tall buildings. Fly ash from coal burning power plants could be added to concrete mixes to make up to 15 percent or more of the mix. Slag from blast furnaces could be used similarly. Even fibers from carrots, sugar beets and bamboo can strengthen concrete while reducing the amount of cement in the mixture. A composite material using graphene has doubled the strength of cement. Considering the need to upgrade streets and bridges following this winter, we appear set to use considerably more concrete during this upcoming construction season. Some of it will be used in renewable energy installations. But the need to use less of it in its current form and improve the e�ciency involved in making it is of increasing importance to a sustainable society. R.

losing consciousness was to turn his and his family’s lives to God’s will. Horatio woke later and found himself still in the raging waters. There was debris from several houses tangled up with trees and brush along the banks. Horatio was able to grab one of the tree branches as he was swept by. He would cling to that tree for two hours before being rescued. A group of his neighbors spotted him in the tree. They tied a rope to one brave man who swam to save Horatio. Horatio’s strength failed just as the man reached him and he dropped from the branch. The man almost lost his own life as he scrambled to save Horatio.Later Horatio would state that he wished the man had failed in his rescue. Horatio lost his entire family that night. All eight of his children and his wife were carried away by the rushing waters. His family of four girls and four boys ranging from the oldest, Horatio,

who was 17, to baby Charles, who was just 6 months old, were gone. Susan and the children are buried together in the Roscoe Cemetery on the other side of town from where the house once stood. The site of all the small white tombstones next to the memorial gives one pause, especially when one notices that they contain the same death date. Horatio left the area and returned to Maine. He married a woman named Ellen and had a daughter named Henrietta. According to his obituary from 1890, Horatio never lost his faith in God and remained “warm hearted, and a good minister.” Kathi Kresol has been researching the history of this area for over a decade. She shares the stories she discovers in her articles for the Rock River Times, in her books, and during the events she hosts. Read more of Kathi’s stories on her website www. hauntedrockford.com. R.

VOICES FROM THE GRAVE

Swept away BY KATHI KRESOL CONTRIBUTOR

Susan Ilsley was very concerned on the evening of June 3, 1858. The torrential rains that started to fall around 5 p.m. that day were still raging by 10 p.m. She knew her husband Horatio was also worried though, of course he didn’t show it. As a pastor, he was always the first to calm everyone else’s fears. The couple considered themselves lucky to live in a two story home made from brick. It was the fact that it was built right on the banks of the North Kinninick Creek that had them concerned. Horatio had discussed his fears about the family’s safety with Susan and the couple made plans to spend the night with friends that lived up the road further from the creek. But two of their neighbors stopped in for a chat and mentioned that creek had actually dropped a few inches. The men calmed Horatio’s fears and continued on to their own homes. The couple made the decision to remain in their home and wait out the storm. They gathered their family into the living room for evening prayers. Horatio began by giving thanks for the safe return home of their oldest son Horatio Junior. The 17-year old had a job at a bank in Milwaukee and was home for the first time in almost a year. Horatio also asked God for protection for the members of his congregation that lived in the houses nearest the waterways. The Ilsley’s were from Maine originally but moved to Dixon first before settling in Roscoe. Reverend Ilsley was a pastor at the Congregational Church in Roscoe and well liked in the little

community. He was 48 years old in 1858. Horatio told many that knew him that he felt very blessed. He had his wonderful Susan and the children were all very bright and healthy. Horatio had impressed many of his congregation with his generosity, his faith and his courage. He had su�ered a severe accident that would have killed a lesser man. The fact that one of his legs was amputated due to the accident didn’t seem to slow him down at all. As the rain continued to fall that stormy June evening, Horatio couldn’t know that upstream from his little house a bad situation was about to turn deadly. When the railroad was put in, the company formed a culvert over a creek by building up the bank. The water had backed up in the creek to form a lake that continued to grow as the rain fell. Eventually the culvert gave way taking 150 feet of the bank with it. This caused a great wave of water to crash down the creek, overflowing its banks and grabbing debris in its wake. Susan put the children to bed right before the culvert broke. Horatio was down in his study when he heard the first roar. He had no idea the culvert had broken and was confused to what the sound was at first. He was standing in the hallway when the wall of the back of the house began to crumble. The last sound he heard was his wife’s scream. The water hit the house with such an impact it wiped the house from its foundation and carried it down stream. The water tumbled the house over and over, crushing it and sweeping the debris along with it. Horatio felt himself swept up by the water and knew instantly what happened. His last thought before

The subject of this meeting will be Midwifing the River: The Rebirth of Nippersink Creek. Ed Collins, Director of Land Preservation & Natural Resources for the McHenry County Conservation District (MCCD), will talk about the restoration of

Nippersink Creek within MCCD’s Glacial Park near Richmond, Illinois, and his role as a midwife to the rebirth of the river. Ed was chief ecologist in charge of the innovative project to return 3.5 miles of the creek to its original meandering course through the county park. In the process, he learned many lessons about the power of nature to heal itself and the spiritual connection that people have with water, wildlife, and native plants. Nippersink Creek was channelized in the 1950s to drain wetlands so the land could be farmed. This caused severe erosion, left the banks too steep for fishing or canoeing, and altered the land along the creek. In 2001, the first phase of returning the creek to its original course was completed. Ed will describe the enormous efforts that went into planning and implementing this large-scale creek restoration project, and will share the ecological lessons he learned from the experience. He has spent 35 years with the District including teaching ecology and working on land restoration. He was involved in the first comprehensive mapping of oak tree loss in the region and the creation of the Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge. This program is free and open to the public. For more information, call (779) 537-8939.

Rockford Rocked

Rockford Rocked spotlight on The Treedogs’ Mike Parr By Todd Houston Contributor

Rockford Rocked Interview: Hey Mike, what have you been up to? Mike Parr: Hey Todd! I’ve been recording original music with my band The Tree Dogs for the last three years. RRI: Tell us about the the new album and some of the musicians that contributed. MP: The new album is basically a reflection of my taste in music. Old school rock and roll with a few twists and turns. I write all the time and felt it was time to start getting something on tape. At least it used to be on tape (laughs). It was recorded at Evil Twin Recording Studios here in Rockford and was engineered by Scott Ford and mastered by Steve Olson. Scott Ford and a host of other guys can be heard on various tracks. Other guys like Bill Dolan, Arik Jenkins, Tony Vecchio, Josh Watson, Dan McMahon, Shawn “The

Core” Williams, Terry Tyderek, Mark Bartscher, Dan Marinelli, Dave Fuller, Josh Karlzon, Josh Johnson, Karl Ropp and Rick Brabeck also contributed. I believe if you surround yourself with talent good things happen. I’m always writing so the tunes are a combination of old and new. I’m getting pretty good at recognizing when something is worth working on at this point. RRI: Although you have a lot of different bass players and drummers on these recordings the vocal spot stays consistent. Singer Todd Scott has been belting out rock anthems since he was in high school, fronting popular bands such as Fallen Prey, and others. Thoughts? MP: Yeah, Todd Scott is the other constant in the Tree Dogs. I believe a song is only as good as the singer who sings it, you know? He and I both write lyrics but he thinks with one head and I think with the other (laughs). RRI: You are a guitar player and a song writer obviously. Tell us about your

influences early on. MP: My biggest influences are Elvis, Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Kiss, Cheap Trick. The ‘70s heavyweights. Just knowing that Cheap Trick was from Rockford was a huge influence on me. RRI: You were in some cool local rock bands. What was the biggest lesson you learned about playing live on stage or booking shows for your band? MP: The biggest thing I’ve learned about playing live or playing at all is stick to what you’re good at. Don’t try to be Eddie Van Halen if you’re not. It’s okay to be a Malcolm Young. RRI: Like me, you grew up listening to ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s music. What is your “go to” Saturday night song? Maybe something that you would put on to to get ready for a gig? MP: I grew up in the glory days of hair metal but I’m a ‘70s rock guy at heart. I think you can definitely hear that in The Tree Dogs stuff. To answer your question though, how about “Shoot to

Government Notices n n n LEGAL NOTICE The Region 1 Planning Council (R1PC) is initiating a call for projects for the local apportionment of FTA Section 5310: Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities grant funds. The PDF application and associated appendices are available at www. r1planning.org. Due to a delay in the release of the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) Consolidated Vehicle Procurement (CVP) 2019 Rolling Stock Capital Assistance application, this year’s local application process will use IDOT’s 2018 CVP application materials. As was the case in previous funding cycles, applications from eligible agencies that originate transportation service within the Rockford urbanized area are only able to apply for funds from the local apportionment. At this time the MPO intends to review applications for both the FY 2017 apportionment of $273,023 and FY 2018 apportionment of $276,769 allocated to the planning area. IDOT and RMTD are co-designated recipients of the regional FTA 5310 funds. Applications for the available FY 2017 and FY 2018 FTA 5310 funds are due to R1PC no later than 5:00pm on April 4th, 2019. The deadline for submitting any associated appendix information for full consideration is due to R1PC no later than 5:00pm on April 17th, 2019. The MPO Alternative Transportation Committee (ATC) will review completed applications at the April 9th, 2019 meeting. The ATC’s recommendation will go before the MPO’s Technical and Policy Committees in April 2019, providing applicable organizations ample time to submit their final application materials in coordination with IDOT’s revised CVP program schedule. In addition to a completed application, scanned PDF copies of the following are required: a) ‘Section II: Applicant Information’, signed by the applicant’s authorized representative. b) Formal letter of endorsement from the local public transportation provider in the applicant’s proposed service area. c) ‘FTA Fiscal Year 2019 Certifications and Assurances’, signed by the applicant, the applicant’s authorized representative, and the applicant’s Attorney.

ROCKFORD – The Rockford IceHogs won a game and lost one in Week 22 and are now tied for fourth place in the AHL Central Division going into this week’s two-game series with the Manitoba Moose.” I think we’re doing good,” defenseman Henri Jokiharju said about last weekend’s action. “We have a lot of good chances every game. We’ve had some games we didn’t win but we are playing some good hockey and those wins are going to come.” The club’s most recent win came the hard way last Friday against the division-leading Grand Rapids Griffins. Rockford jumped out to 3-0 first-period lead but let the GR back in it and managed to escape with a 5-4 win in overtime. The IceHogs came out flying in the opening stanza with goals from Jordan Schroeder, Lucas Carlsson and Dennis Gilbert. The stunned Griffins were limited to just seven shots on net in the first period. Rockford let its foot off the gas a bit in the second, a dangerous move against a deep Grand Rapids club chock full of guys who can put the puck in the net at any given moment. The IceHogs still led 3-2 after two periods, however, but the momentum was with Grand Rapids. The Griffins tied the game at three in the third. Shroeder scored his second of the night to give the ‘Hogs back the lead. But there was enough time left for the visitors to get back in it. A goal by Matt Puempel did just that and forced overtime. Both clubs had stellar chances in OT including a Grand Rapids breakaway that normally ends up in the back of the net. Instead it was stonewalled by Collin Delia. Rockford regained possession and rushed toward the Griffins net to set up Peter Holland’s game-winning tally.” I don’t know why we decided to change the way we played after the first,” coach Derek King said. “But they took it upon themselves to change the way we play hockey in the second. But Grand Rapids is good. They’re not in first place for no reason. We knew they’d have a push and they did. And we kind of got stuck back

on our heels.” The IceHogs battled the Chicago Wolves in Rosemont Tuesday Feb. 26. Chicago’s Brooks Macek scored the game’s lone goal. It was goaltender Max Legace’s night to shine though. The Golden Knights prospect stopped two Rockford shooting onslaughts – a 7-1 shooting edge in the first period and 12 IceHogs’ attempts in the third. It was Legace’s first shutout of the season.” Obviously we wished some of those shots would have gone in,” King said. “The opportunities were there for us to capitalize but their goalie played a helluva game. It wasn’t like we were not trying to score and just shooting them at him. He was making some saves and played really well.”

Notes

The ‘Hogs have won eight of their last 10 home games. Rockford is averaging 3.7 goals per game game at home over that stretch, including scoring five goals in each of the last three home outings. Rockford enters the week tied with the Texas Stars for a fourth and final playoff berth in the Central Division. Both clubs have 63 points. Aside from Chicago (72 points), Iowa (72 points) and Grand Rapids (71 points), the remaining five teams in the Central are within five points of each other for the division’s postseason spot. Jordan Schroeder logged his first threepoint game of the season with two goals and an assist against Grand Rapids Friday. The former Minnesota Golden Gopher now has nine points (6g, 3a) over his last seven games with three multi-point efforts in that span. Jokiharju has 12 points (1g, 11a) in 13 games with Rockford since making his AHL debut on Feb. 1. He leads the league in assists and is second among all AHL defensemen in total scoring since his debut.

Next home game

The IceHogs host the Cleveland Monsters on Dino Night March 16 at the BMO Harris Bank Center. The first 2,500 fans will receive a Jane the T-Rex bobblehead, courtesy of the Rockford Register Star. R.

FOOTBALL

On the hunt: The Bears’ 2019 defense may regress, but they can close better BY ROBERT ZEGLINSKI CONTRIBUTOR

A perfect storm is an event brought about by a series of seemingly random occurrences, happen stance, and sometimes an all-important final mix of hard work and talent. First o�cially coined in 1718, a perfect storm is an analogy used in not only literature, but popular culture. A perfect storm doesn’t have to be negative, it only has to possess a rare mix of what look like unpredictable circumstances in hindsight. For the first time in years, a perfect storm - the most serendipitous turn of events - hit the 2018 Bears defense. It was di�cult to find much issue with what the Bears defense was able to accomplish last season. Everywhere you looked their resume was polished and well-kept. If they were to go in for a dream job interview based on the final four months of 2018, it’d be a shock if they didn’t walk out with a vibrant career path. For most of the regular year Chicago was Football Outsiders’ No. 1 overall defense. The Bears led the NFL in takeaways with 36 and had the most points o� takeaways with five defensive touchdowns contributing to that lofty figure. They were the league’s fourth-best third down defense allowing a mere 34.91 percent conversion rate to opponents, and allowed the second-least amount of explosive rushing plays and least amount of explosive passing plays. In terms of a defense that actively tilted the field against the grain of a largely o�ensively driven league, no one was better than the Bears. On the whole, the Bears had the fourth-best defense in accordance with adjusted net yards per pass attempt in the last 11 seasons. That they were only second to the Super Bowl champion Steelers (2008) and Seahawks (2013), and NFC champion Panthers (2015) speaks volumes.On the surface, you’d be forgiven if you expect a traditionally special Bears defense with seemingly minimal room to improve to regress next year. The Bears have a new defensive coordinator in Chuck Pagano with the curt Vic Fangio the new lead man in Denver. They had tremendous luck with injuries and in regards to turnovers as each of the last five NFL teams to lead the league in takeaways experienced a precipitous drop o� the following year. You might wonder how a defense like the Bears that routinely stifled most respective o�enses could actually stand to take a step forward. On an independent level, you could consider that injury and turnover regression will be too much to

overcome for anyone, which is sensible. It’s far easier to sustain terrific o�ensive play from year to year based on factors of continuity and elite quarterback play, than it is on defense inherently because of how a successful defense often thrives. If it took the Bears four years to build an elite level of play under Fangio, they could fall o� just as quickly due to matters out of their control. As talented and deep as the Bears are on defense, luck plays a factor. Unfortunately, luck doesn’t always carry on from season to season. Upon further review, putting a ceiling on where this Bears defense can go under fresh leadership next season would be shortsighted. Where Khalil Mack, Akiem Hicks, and Eddie Jackson among others might see the flashy team statistics take a dip, their situational awareness at the end of games together should take on a hearty life of its own. One of the biggest faults of the Bears’ defense during the Fangio era was how they managed, or rather, failed to e�ectively close games. As consistent and capable as they were altogether, second half scoring was a rampant issue for the defensive guru’s unit throughout most of his tenure. In 2015, the Bears allowed 10.8 points per second half: 14th in the NFL. In 2016, the Bears allowed 12.9 points per second half: 25th in the NFL. In 2017, the Bears led the NFL and allowed the least amount of points in second halves at just 8.1 points a game. In 2018, with an All-Pro game-wrecker like Mack in the fold and the ascendance of several promising players on defense, the Bears curiously dropped o� to 16th in the NFL in second half scoring defense at 11.4 points allowed per game. For a defense that led the league in scoring defense at 17.7 points allowed per game that fact matters. For a defense to get most of it’s production in the early parts of contests and then almost completely fade down the stretch is a glaring oversight. The Bears’ second half defense was rescued by now trademark Jackson pick-sixes against the Vikings and Lions, but it capitulated in eventual crushing losses to the Packers, Dolphins, and Giants. Each a poor defeat any contender or good team can have over the course of a grueling season, but particularly ended up costing the Bears what ended up being a first-round NFC playo� bye. Now condense the second half and take it quarter by quarter. The Bears had

the league’s 21st-worst fourth quarter scoring defense, averaging an allowance of 7.1 points in the final stanza of games. In the losses to Green Bay and Miami, the Bears gave up 21 and 18 (plus overtime points in the fourth quarter, respectively. A little over a touchdown doesn’t sound like a lot, but it stands out when it’s almost half of what you allow over the course of entire games and when it happens in crunch time. This isn’t to say the Bears great defense didn’t have the ability to close. They did. You don’t have the fourth-best overall NFL defense in over a decade if you can’t finish games. You don’t win the the NFC North for the first time since 2010 if your defense can’t humiliate quarterbacks. It’s more that Pagano’s players have the capacity to develop more of a collective killer instinct Fangio’s best Bears defense rarely had. Fangio’s perfect storm just so

happened to leave out fading down the last 30 minutes of games. It gives the Bears a target to focus on. As good as they were in Fangio’s last year in Chicago, they have a place to strive for better. If you don’t think Pagano and his ensemble cast of superstars knows they can learn to close games at a more e�cient and palatable rate, you’re not paying attention. The perfect storm may have passed. Now it’s time to appropriately deal with the aftermath. “Our vision for this defense is to be the best,” said Pagano at his introductory Bears press conference in January.” Can we be the best in the history of the game? The pieces are there and they’ll continue to add pieces. Can we continue to be better than we were last year? Absolutely.” R. Robert is a writer, editor, and producer.
