Recent crimes shine light on domestic violence By Jim Hagerty Reporter

ROCKFORD – Two recent Rockfordarea crimes have again shone light on domestic violence and the push for the city to have a place for survivors to get services to put their lives back together. One of those incidents was the fatal shooting of McHenry County Deputy Jacob Keltner, gunned down at a Rockford hotel earlier this month while serving an arrest warrant on central-Illinois parolee wanted on a bevy of charges. It was not long after the suspected gunman was caught did his arrest record surface – a criminal past that included domestic violence. A local man’s criminal record also surfaced after he allegedly kidnapped, raped and restrained a woman inside a Roscoe home on March 13. Court records show Matthew Harkey is a registered sex offender and had also been previously charged with domestic-related offenses. “When I opened the Office of Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking, we were getting maybe one call every 10 days from someone who was in a crisis situation,” Mayor Tom McNamara said. “Now we are getting two to five a week.” Those calls, the mayor said, are often from victims who have nowhere to turn. They find themselves helpless after

suffering abuse at the hands of someone who was likely subjected to some sort of domestic violence themselves. In other words, domestic abuse victims, especially boys, are likely to become perpetrators and exert criminal behavior as men. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, children witness violence in nearly 25 percent of all domestic abuse cases filed in the courts. Other studies have shown girls who witness violence are 15 times more likely to be physically and/or sexually assaulted as adults. Yet, victims have had little resources to escape. Just 30 years ago, a woman who attempted to file a police report was told to wait three days to make sure she still wished to make the allegations. A woman making sexual assault allegations would be required to pass a polygraph examination. Victims were also often urged by authorities to drop charges after they were filed. “At least we are past archaic and awful treatment like that,” McNamara said. “But don’t make any mistakes. We still have a tremendous way to go. We are just starting to create a sense of community and a sense of feeling throughout our city about what (victims) need to go through to simply get services that people deserve. And that’s a shame.” Last month, more than 200 community

partners met with domestic violence expert Casey Gwinn to assess how to take the next step to open a Family Justice Center, something McNamara says will provide a haven for survivors and help change local culture and the way the community looks at domestic abuse. Gwinn, president and CEO of the Alliance for HOPE International, first proposed the Family Justice Center concept in 1989. And when introduces the idea, one of his main goals is to assess whether advocates are ready for such an endeavor. Rockford was no exception. “With the work that our court system has done, the work that our police and sheriff departments have done and our local nonprofits, the most refreshing thing that (Gwinn) said is, ‘We’re ready,’” McNamara said. And while the center has not officially opened, the mayor’s office is already making progress. “We are immediately connecting survivors with 24-7 services through Remedies,” the mayor said. “It’s wonderful and a great step.” T he cit y received a t hree-year, $450,000 grant last year to formalize the first step in opening the Family Justice Center. The center could open within the next 18 months. R.

East boys cap historic season By Jim Hagerty Reporter

PEORIA – The East E-Rabs capped their historic boys basketball season last weekend by finishing fourth at the Illinois High School Boys Basketball Championship. After winning the Rock Valley College sectional and the supersectional at DeKalb, the E-Rabs ran into a buzzsaw at the Peoria Civic Center Friday night, falling to Evanston 94-82 in the semifinals. East was cold from the outside for most the night against the quick and three-point proficient Wildkits. But, after trailing by as many as 21, the E-Rabs owned the third quarter, shooting 13 for 17 from the field to come within eight. That would be as close as they’d come to Etown though. Evanston and hot-shooting sophomore Blake Peters dominated the fourth and put the game out of reach. Peters finished the night with 27 points. Chris Burnell scored 26 points for the E-Rabs while Sha’den Clanton added 20. All-State selection Sincere Parker shot just 1-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished

with 13 points. East faced Curie in the Class 4A consolation game and couldn’t muster enough offense to outlast the southwest-side magnet school squad to bring home a third-place trophy. The E-Rabs came close though. East battled back in the fourth quarter, and came withing three when an Andres Thompson layup made it a 56-53 game with 1:55 left. East then got the ball back and a chance to tie but a turnover led to a dunk by Curie’s DaJuan Gordon. The Condors went on to score six more in the final moments to seal the contest 64-55. “We just gave away a few too many possessions, a few key turnovers there by us and some missed opportunities toward the end when we were just nipping at the their heels and couldn’t quite get over the hump,” East coach Roy Sackmaster said “On the defensive end, we just gave them too many second chances.” Kansas State commit Gordon led Curie with 24 points and nine rebounds. Thompson led East’s scoring with 12 points,

five boards and three steals. Sackmaster typically used six players during the playoffs. Saturday, nine different E-Rabs scored and all 13 saw action. “We wanted to get everybody at least a little bit of a run and say that they played in the state finals,” Sackmaster said. “We had some guys go in there and do some nice things. A couple of kids who hadn’t played very much for us went in there and got some buckets and gave us some good minutes.” Parker scored 11 points, but the junior made just four of 13 shots. Seniors Sha’Den Clanton and Chris Burnell were held to eight points each. This year’s East team is the first to make it to the state tournament in 41 years. The 1978 squad also finished fourth. This year’s 34-4 finish is a school and NIC-10 record for a season. It was East’s first NIC-10 title since 1981. In the Class 4A title game, Belleville West overcame a 12-point deficit to clip Evanston 71-59, for its second straight championship. R.

‘Trump of the Tropics’ Bolsonaro visits the White House BY JILL COLVIN AND PETER PRENGAMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

WA SHINGT ON (A P) – P r e sident Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he will work to designate Brazil a “major non-NATO ally” – and maybe even full NATO membership – as he welcomed the country’s new Trump-friendly far-right leader to the White House. That’s despite the fact that Brazil doesn’t quality to join the North Atlantic alliance. Jair Bolsonaro, who’s been described as the “Trump of the Tropics,” ran on an unabashedly pro-American platform, emulating Trump in tone and in style. It’s a position that seemed to pay o� for the leader on his ﬁrst o�cial trip to Washington. As they sat down for the ﬁrst time, Trump praised Bolsonaro, saying he’d done “a very outstanding job” so far and hailed his run as “one of the incredible campaigns.” Trump said he was “honored” Bolsonaro’s campaign had drawn comparisons with his own 2016 victory. And he predicted the two would have a “fantastic working relationship,” telling reporters at a joint press conference that they have “many views” in common. The two also exchanged soccer jerseys in a sign of friendship. Bolsonaro has made clear he wants to strengthen military and economic ties with the U.S., and Trump appeared eager to deliver, announcing that he would back Brazil’s e�ort’s to join the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Trump also told reporters he intends to designate Brazil as “a major non-NATO ally” or “even, possibly, if you start thinking about it, maybe a NATO ally,” though he said he’d “have to talk to a lot of people” for Brazil to join the organization. Brazil, the largest and most populous nation in Latin America, has pursued becoming a non-NATO ally to make it easier to buy U.S. weapons and lower barriers for military and other cooperation. But James Stavridis, a retired Navy admiral who was the Supreme Allied Commander at NATO from 2009 to 2013, said Brazil does not qualify for full membership under the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949. “The idea of formal membership is a nonstarter in every dimension — the treaty doesn’t allow it, the Brazilians wouldn’t want it and the Europeans wouldn’t approve,” Stavridis said in an email exchange. NATO’s own membership policy says it is open only to any “European state” that is “in a position to further the principles

of this treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area.” Bolsonaro has much in common with Trump. He, too, ran an insurgent, social media-powered campaign. And like Trump, he has blasted unﬂattering stories as “fake news” and used Twitter and Facebook to bypass mainstream news organizations. Standing side-by-side in the White House Rose Garden, Bolsonaro told Trump the U.S. and Brazil stand together in support of “liberties,” including “traditional family lifest yle,” and “against the gender ideology or the politically incorrect attitudes and against fake news.” “I’m very proud to hear the president use the term ‘fake news’,” Trump later remarked. As a congressman, Bolsonaro frequently made disparaging comments about gays, women, indigenous groups and blacks, and he has praised torture and killings by police and waxed nostalgic for Brazil’s old military dictatorship. While such comments have drawn sharp criticism, they have also generated attention and fed into his narrative as a leader unencumbered by political correctness. Bolsonaro has also echoed Trump’s hardline immigration policies, calling immigrants from several poor countries the “scum of the world” and saying Brazil cannot become a “country of open borders.” In an interview with Fox News Monday, Bolsonaro said he supported Trump’s immigration policies and his e�orts to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. “The majority of potential immigrants do not have good intentions or do not intend to do the best or do good for the American people,” he said. The two leaders were expected to discuss a range of issues during their visit, including expanding trade rela-

tions, increasing U.S. private-sector investment in Brazil and resolving the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela. Both are ﬁerce critics of Venezuela’s socialist President Nicolas Maduro. In advance of the meeting, the countries signed several bilateral agreements, including one that allows the United States to use Brazil’s Alcantara Aerospace Launch Base for its satellites. Brazil also announced an end to visa requirements for U.S. tourists who visit the country, while Trump agreed to Brazilian participation in the Trusted Traveler “Global Entry” program. Days after taking o�ce on Jan. 1, Bolsonaro, a former army captain, said Brazil would consider letting the U.S. have a military base in the country as way to counter Russian inﬂuence in the region, particularly related to Brazil’s neighbor Venezuela. That statement was roundly criticized, including by former military members of his government, and the administration backed o�. Bolsonaro, who has routinely expressed his admiration for Trump and frequently says closer U.S. ties are key to Brazil’s f ut u re, soug ht to u nder s core h i s pro-America stance throughout his visit. “For the first time in a while, a pro-America Brazilian president arrives in DC,” he tweeted after arriving on Monday. “It’s the beginning of a partnership focused on liberty and prosperity, something that all of us Brazilians have long wished for.” Bolsonaro succeeded a leftist who at times had a frosty relationship with the United States. In 2013, leaks from Edward Snowden revealed that the National Security Agency had wiretapped conversations of former President Dilma Rousse�, leading to several years of tense relations between the U.S. and Brazil.

NEW ZEALAND SHOOTING

Mosque shootings renew fears of terror by lone attackers BY ADAM GELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS

In his manifesto, the white supremacist charged with attacking two New Zealand mosques praised fellow “freedom ﬁghters” as his role models. In reality, all were terrorists – most notable for acting alone. Investigators’ growing certainty that a single gunman was responsible for the massacre that claimed 50 lives has renewed attention to a longtime concern: terror attacks by ideologically driven lone actors in the U.S. and Europe. The shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand was “a blatant imitation. This is a copycat crime. He’s followed others who have come before him,” said Mark Hamm, a professor of criminology at Indiana State University who has charted such attacks in the U.S. But the public’s stereotypes of such “lone wolves” risk obscuring the fact that many are not nearly as solitary as they might seem, criminologists say. “They may be alone at the time of the attack,” said Noemie Bouhana, a professor of security and crime science at University College London who studies terrorism. “But the ties have existed that have been necessary for the attack to occur, and I would be very surprised if that wasn’t the case here.” Those ties are key not just to prosecuting such terrorist attacks but to ﬁnding ways to prevent them, experts say. That helps explain investigators’ determination to follow all threads, even with the 28-year-old Australian they say was the lone gunman already in custody. “We believe absolutely there was only one attacker responsible for this,” Mike Bush, New Zealand’s police commissioner, said at a news conference. “That doesn’t mean there weren’t possibly other

people in support and that continues to form a very, very important part of our investigation.” Those looking to unravel how the attack took shape have decades of history to consult. Attacks by lone actors harboring extremist motives date back decades, particularly in the U.S. In the 1940s and 1950s, electrician George Metesky planted more than 30 bombs in New York theaters, libraries and other public places. He was driven by anger at his former employer over a workplace injury. Theodore Kaczynski, the technophobe known as the Unabomber, was arrested in 1996 after nearly two decades of planting bombs that killed three; Eric Rudolph spent years as a fugitive while carrying out a series of anti-abortion attacks, including bombing a park during the Atlanta Olympics. In 2015, Dylann Roof slaughtered nine at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina. The vast spaces and lack of borders in the U.S., along with a culture of individualism, help seed such attacks, Hamm said. But access to more powerful guns and ammunition has increased the lethality, said Hamm, who with a fellow researcher used a Justice department grant to identify more than 120 lone wolf attackers in the U.S. over seven decades. Hamm points to the 2009 shootings at the Army’s Fort Hood in Texas that left 13 dead. Maj. Nidal Hasan, convinced that U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were an assault on Islam, used a pistol equipped with a laser sight and magazine extenders to ﬁre more rounds. But terrorist attacks by loners have also increased around the globe. Between 1990 and 2017, the U.S. saw 56 attacks by ideologically driven lone actors, a study

by Bouhana and others found. Over the same period, Europe and other countries were targeted by 69 such attacks, they concluded. The Christchurch attack has drawn comparisons to the 2011 massacre of 77 people in Norway, most at an island youth camp. The attacker, Anders Behring Breivik, raged against Europe’s growing Muslim population and claimed to represent what turned out to be an imagined order of Knight crusaders. “I have read the writings of Dylan(n) Roof and many others, but only really took true inspiration from Knight Justiciar Breivik,” the New Zealand suspect, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, allegedly wrote in his manifesto. The document cites others including Anton Lundin Petterson, who, in 2015, entered a school in Sweden and used a sword to kill a teacher and a student in an attack police say was motivated by racial hatred. In the years since the Sept. 11 attacks in the U.S., law enforcement agencies in many countries have stepped up e�orts to detect and prevent plots by large groups. Muslim reactionaries in Europe have continued to carry out attacks organized in small cells. But they have increasingly followed right-wing counterparts in acting alone, said Tore Bjorgo, director of the Center for Research on Extremism at the University of Oslo in Norway. “The security environment makes it very di�cult to operate as an organization, as part of a large group ... so the only viable option is to go as a lone actor,” he said. That does not mean lone attackers are entirely disconnected from others. Even Breivik, who planned his attack in isolation, had been involved in a right-wing

political party and wrote frequently on political websites, said Bjorgo, an expert on the underpinnings of the Norway massacre. Rather than plotting entirely in their own heads, lone extremists increasingly ﬁnd their inspiration in what others post online, experts say. And many are prone to discuss their motives or their plans, o�ering one of the best chances for preventing attacks. “They tell people why they want to engage in violence. They tell people what their grievances are. They even tell people, in some cases, what they’re going to do. It’s just in a lot of cases, for whatever reason, people don’t report it,” Bouhana said. She and other European experts take issue with the “lone wolf” description often used in the U.S., saying it promotes a false mystique about such attackers as isolated from others and exceedingly stealthy. But looking beyond that mythology, it is clear that such attacks are characterized by troubling commonalities in the mindsets of those who carry them out, criminologists say. While there is still much we don’t know about the prime suspect in the New Zealand attack or how it was planned, early details provide red ﬂags. In casting Muslim immigration as a direct threat to his existence, the New Zealand shooter’s manifesto echoes the sense of “aggrieved entitlement” that has long motivated other lone wolf attackers, Hamm said. “They’re similar across borders,” he said, “and although elements of the conspiracy theories themselves change a bit, the theme remains the same.”

Troops celebrate as US-backed force seizes IS camp in Syria By Philip Issa

Associated Press

BAGHOUZ, Syria (AP) – U.S.-backed Syrian forces on Tuesday seized control of an encampment held by the Islamic State group in eastern Syria, after hundreds of militants surrendered overnight, a spokesman said, signaling the group’s collapse after months of stiff resistance. A group of suspects involved in a January bombing that killed four Americans in northern Syria were among militants captured by the Kurdish-led forces. The taking of the IS camp was a major advance but not the final defeat of the group in Baghouz, the last village held by the extremists where they have been holding out for weeks under siege, according to Mustafa Bali, the spokesman for the Kurdish-led force known as the Syrian Democratic Forces. Still, fighters from the force were starting to celebrate anyway. “I’m happy it’s over. Now I know my people are safe,” said a fighter who identified himself as Walid Raqqawi who fought in the camp Monday night. He said he is returning to his hometown of Raqqa to rest. Comrades from his unit sang and danced in celebration at an outpost in Baghouz, all saying they were looking forward to going home. An unknown number of IS militants still clung to a tiny sliver of land trapped between the Euphrates River and the encampment now held by the SDF, officials in the force said. The militants have been putting up a desperate fight, their notorious propaganda machine working even on the brink of collapse. On Monday, IS issued a video showing its militants furiously defending the encampment, a junkyard

of wrecked cards, motorcycles and tents. In the footage, they shoot nonstop with AK-47s and M-16s from behind trucks, vehicles and sand berms. A group of children could be seen at one point amid the fighting. “My Muslim brothers everywhere, we did our best, the rest is up to God,” a fighter says as black smoke rises from behind him. The complete fall of Baghouz would mark the end of the Islamic State group’s self-declared territorial “caliphate,” which at its height stretched across much of Syria and Iraq. For the past four years, U.S.-led forces have waged a destructive campaign to tear down the “caliphate.” But even after Baghouz’s fall, IS maintains a scattered presence and sleeper cells that threaten a continuing insurgency. The battle for Baghouz has dragged on for weeks – and the encampment has proven a major battleground, with tents covering foxholes and underground tunnels. The siege has also been slowed by the unexpectedly large number of civilians in Baghouz, most of them families of IS members. Over past weeks they have been flowing out, exhausted, hungry and often wounded. The sheer number who emerged – nearly 30,000 since early January according to Kurdish officials – took the Kurdish-led SDF by surprise. In the last two weeks, many IS militants appeared to be among those evacuating. But SDF commanders have stopped speculating when the battle may finally be over. Commanders say they don’t know how many more may still be left, hiding in tunnels beneath the war-scarred village. In the seizure Tuesday of the encamp-

ment, hundreds of wounded and sick militants were captured and have been evacuated to nearby military hospitals for treatment, Bali, the SDF spokesman, said in a Twitter post. Still, he cautioned, “this is not a victory announcement, but a significant progress in the fight.” There were conflicting reports from SDF commanders on the ground about the extent of the IS surrender. Commander Rustam Hasake told The Associated Press that SDF forces advanced on four fronts Monday night and were inside the camp when the last IS fighters surrendered at dawn. He said the last fighters were pushed out of the camp and were now in an open patch of land by the Euphrates River and were being processed and detained. Another commander, however, said some IS militants continue to hold a tiny area in an open patch of land in the village, outside the encampment. AP journalists in Baghouz reported sporadic gunfire echoing in Baghouz and jets circling overhead. At a command post in Baghouz, a Humvee pulled up and unloaded weapons captured from IS on Tuesday, including sniper and hunting rifles, pump action shot guns and grenades and ammunition. Five trucks hauling 10 trailers full of people were seen coming out of Baghouz. A child could be heard wailing from inside one of them. At least 100 people, nearly all of them children, have died in the truck trips from Baghouz on the way to a camp in northern Syria, or soon after reaching it, according to the International Rescue Committee – a sign of how miserable conditions were inside Baghouz during the siege as supplies ran out. Bali, in a separate Twitter post Tuesday,

said the SDF captured a group of suspects involved in a January suicide bombing that killed four Americans in the northern town of Manbij. He did not elaborate on the number of suspects or whether they were among the most recent militants to surrender. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the blast outside a popular restaurant in Manbij, which killed at least 16 people, including two U.S. service members and two American civilians. It was the deadliest assault on U.S. troops in Syria since American forces went into the country in 2015. As they make their final stand, the IS militants have issued a string of statements this month claiming to have inflicted heavy losses on the SDF. In an audio posted online Monday, the IS spokesman, Abu Hassan al-Muhajer, issued his first message in six months, calling for revenge attacks by Muslims in Western countries in retaliation for the shooting attack on two New Zealand mosques that killed 50 people. He also ridiculed U.S. declarations of the defeat of the Islamic State group, calling the claim of victory a “hallucination.” But SDF fighters celebrated as if the final collapse were imminent. At the SDF outpost in Baghouz, a commander danced with his soldiers. Fighters said remaining IS militants didn’t put up much resistance. “We fired on them with our rifles and heavy weapons and they didn’t shoot back. So we walked into the camp and they didn’t shoot at us,” said Orhan Hamad, from the northern province of Hassakeh. “I tell the martyrs, it wasn’t for nothing. With God’s permission, we’ve finished Daesh.”

Catastrophic television By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

This weekend I experienced a near catastrophe. What happened, you ask? I binged the fourth and final season of Amazon Prime’s British import, Catastrophe, which means there are no more new episodes left for me to watch, and no more in production or even pre-production. The only reason it’s not a full-blown entertainment catastrophe is because anyone with Amazon Prime can watch all four seasons any time they like. It might take a while for the magnitude of this loss to fully sink in; there was typically at least a year between seasons, and I binged each season pretty quickly upon release, so a year from now I’ll really be missing the show. If you’re not familiar with it, Catastrophe was created and written by its stars, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney – who play Irish school teacher Sharon and American advertising executive Rob – and focuses on their unconventional and bumpy road to, and through, matrimony. Sharon and Rob are both flawed, selfish, and somewhat damaged characters, so watching them deal with daily life can quickly alternate between awkward and hysterical, especially given their shared dark sense of humor. Catastrophe takes on uncomfortable topics – alcoholism, death, unemployment, jealousy, ethical dilemmas – that sometimes lead to verbally brutal arguments, but

dealing with those situations, together, usually bring Sharon and Rob closer together. They are a team. (A team that’s not always adverse to cheating, but a team all the same.) By season two, Rob and Sharon are parents to son Frankie, and they soon add daughter Muireann (an Irish name Rob cannot pronounce). Unlike traditional sitcoms, these kids aren’t cutesy quippers. They’re just there, being pushed in a pram, watching TV, or being fed. They are living, breathing, symbols of Rob and Sharon’s joint responsibilities. Rob and Sharon’s friends and family are comically flawed and self-involved, too. Scottish actors Chris Bonnar (Shetland, Humans) and Ashley Jensen (Agatha Raisin, Ugly Betty) play Fran and Chris, a dysfunctional couple who are parents to a very successful child actor named Jeffrey; Australian actor (Zero Dark Thirty, Muriel’s Wedding) plays Rob’s substance-abusing American ex-pat friend, Dave; and the late Carrie Fisher had a recurring role as Rob’s mother, Mia. As writer and producers, Horgan and Delaney crafted a beautiful final season. Catastrophe is not for the easily shocked or embarrassed viewer, and that’s fine. But if you like honest and often dark humor with characters that can be challenging to like at times, you’ll love Catastrophe. All seasons of Catastrophe can be streamed on Amazon Prime. R.

Stock Market

PROVIDING US stocks give up an early EXCELLENT rally, ending winning streak By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga Associated Press

U.S. stock indexes closed mostly lower Tuesday after a late-afternoon splash of selling erased early gains, ending a weeklong rally. Banks accounted for much of the decline, along with utilities and industrial companies. Those losses offset gains in health care, technology and consumer products stocks. The benchmark S&P 500 ended barely lower, its second loss over the past seven trading days. It’s still up 13 percent so far in 2019. Investors were looking ahead to what the Federal Reserve will say Wednesday following a two-day meeting of policymakers. The central bank has signaled that it will be “patient” in raising interest rates. Investors seem reassured that the Fed will continue to hold off on raising rates, and that’s given them more confidence to push the market higher this year. “Typically, markets tend to be flat in front of the Fed, usually we’re in a wait-and-see mode,” said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones. The S&P 500 index slipped 0.37 points, or 0.01 percent, to 2,832.57. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 26.72 points, or 0.1 percent, to 25,887.38. The Nasdaq composite gained 9.47 points, or 0.1 percent, to 7,723.95. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks gave up 8.95 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,554.99.

More stocks fell than rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Major indexes in Europe finished higher. The broader market broke out of a short slump last week and has been gaining since then. It marks a turnaround from a terrifying drop in December, and now every major U.S. index is up more than 10 percent for the year. What the Fed does next will surely have an impact on the market’s trajectory. The central bank is expected to leave its key short-term interest rate unchanged Wednesday and to stress its new watchword – “patient” – in conveying its intention to leave rates alone for the foreseeable future. The Fed has made clear that with a dimmer economic picture in both the United States and globally, it no longer sees the need to keep raising rates as it did four times in 2018. Among the key factors, besides slower growth, are President Donald Trump’s trade war with China, continually low inflation levels and Prime Minister Theresa May’s struggle to execute Britain’s exit from the European Union. Signs of a modest economic slowdown, such as a weak factory orders report on Tuesday, may help keep the Fed patient and on hold for a longer amount of time, said Warne. “It’s a slightly bad-news-is-goodnews situation,” she said. There has also been an absence of sharp bad news surprises, she said, which has given investors confidence that there is

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the “Testing of the Automatic Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology Tabulating Equipment” required by Section 24B-9 of the Illinois Election Code, for tabulation of the votes of the April 2, 2019 Consolidated Election, will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 25, 2019 at the Rockford Board of Election Commissioners, 301 S. 6th Street, Rockford, Illinois.

less volatility than previously feared. Financial, utilities and industrial stocks weighed the most on the market Tuesday. Fifth Third Bancorp dropped 3.3 percent, FirstEnergy slid 2 percent and railroad operator Union Pacific lost 3.3 percent. Companies that reported disappointing quarterly results also fell. DSW dropped 12.9 percent after the footwear retailer surprised investors with a loss during the fourth quarter. The company swung to a loss of 7 cents per share, while Wall Street anticipated 4 cents per share in profit. Expenses jumped during the quarter and DSW had to deal with a hefty charge. Tilray slid 3.4 percent after the medical cannabis company reported a wider loss for the fourth-quarter than Wall Street analysts expected. Health care stocks, technology companies and retailers notched some of the biggest gains Tuesday. DaVita led the health sector higher, climbing 3.5 percent. Cigna added 3.4 percent. Chipmakers also posted solid gains. Advanced Micro Devices vaulted 11.8 percent and Nvidia climbed 4 percent. Retailer L Brands added 2.7 percent. Traders bid up shares in Michaels, rewarding a better-than-expected fourth quarter and overlooking a weak forecast. The arts and crafts retailer has been reassessing its operations, moving to expand its children’s offerings and shuttering its Pat Catan craft stores. The company also changed leadership earlier this month, with CEO Chuck Rubin stepping down and longtime retail executive Mark Cosby taking over as interim CEO. The stock jumped 10 percent. Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 2.62 percent from 2.60 late Monday. The dollar held steady at 111.41 Japanese yen. The euro strengthened to $1.1352 from $1.1338 on Monday. Benchmark U.S. crude oil slipped 0.1 percent to settle at $59.03 a barrel, while Brent crude gained 0.1 percent to close at $67.61 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline climbed 0.5 percent to $1.89 a gallon, heating oil added 1.1 percent to $1.99 a gallon and natural gas picked up 0.8 percent to $2.87 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gold rose 0.4 percent to $1,306.50 an ounce, silver added 0.3 percent to $15.37 an ounce and copper picked up 0.5 percent to $2.92 a pound.

VOICES FROM THE GRAVE

Manhunt KATHI KRESOL CONTRIBUTOR

When local farmer John McDougall knocked on the door of Margaret Grippen’s home on April 29, 1909, he couldn’t know that he was about to be swept up in the worst crime ever seen in the small town of Winnebago, Illinois. Margaret Grippen was a 60-year-old widow and had lived in Winnebago with her husband, Demus for many years. The couple were farmers and when Demus died in 1895, he left Margaret in good financial standing. The newspapers of the day told of Margaret’s fears that something terrible would happen to her. Her house set near both the railroad line and the interurban line and this caused the old lady concern. The night that Margaret was murdered there was a fierce spring storm that kept all of her neighbors inside. The heavy rain and almost continuous thunder covered the sounds of her screams as she fought for her life. Coroner McAllister was shocked at the damage that had been done to the elderly woman. By the condition of her body and the damage done to the inside of her home, he could state that Margaret had fought hard for her life on that stormy night. The only real clue that was left by the killer was found on a glass chimney from a lantern. The lantern had been set on the floor by Margaret’s body and covered with one of the lady’s shawls in

hopes that this would set a fire to the home, but that is not what happened. Some called it divine intervention when they discovered that the shawl had actually smothered the flame of the lantern. When the chimney was examined, authorities found three bloodstained fingerprints. Fingerprinting was just beginning in the country at this time. In 1904, one of the country’s only instructors was Detective John Kenneth Ferrier, an inspector at London’s New Scotland Yard. Ferrier was traveling the country and during 1904, he was demonstrating the art of fingerprinting at the World’s Fair in St. Louis. Two of his pupils were owners of the Holland Detective Agency in Chicago, Illinois. Phil and his wife Mary attended the Fair and met Ferrier. Fascinated by the science of fingerprinting, Mary decided to join Ferrier for classes. This was extremely significant and unusual for this time period. Women were not usually allowed to take part in actual investigations, but Mary Holland was not your typical woman. She would eventually visit London and learn the fingerprint technique called the Henry Classification System. This system used a counting system for the whorls, ridges and loops to identify criminals. Authorities would obtain suspect’s fingerprints along with other identifying features and keep them on file. When a crime was committed and

fingerprints were left, the authorities would spend hours comparing the known criminal prints to their samples. In 1907, Mary was hired by the United States Navy as one of the first professional fingerprint trainers. Mary traveled all over the country to teach members of the Military and Police forces how to collect, store and compare fingerprints. By the time of Margaret grippen’s murder, Mary Holland was one of the top fingerprint experts in the country. The fact that the authorities reached out to Mary Holland with the evidence from Margaret’s murder speaks to the dedication they had to solve this case. Mary began her work by comparing the collected prints to thousands of already processed fingerprints on file in Chicago. She worked many long hard hours, bent over the prints with her magnifying glass but could find no match. Mary then sent the fingerprints on to other Police Bureaus in the Midwest to see if they had a match in their files. Mary became completely absorbed by Margaret’s murder and decided that she needed to see the crime scene for herself. Mary had been involved with murders before but she would later state that nothing she had witnessed up to that time could prepare her for the scene that she found in the Grippen home. The entire hallway was smeared with Margaret’s blood from the attack and more had been cast o� the iron as the

murderer brought it down on Margaret’s face time after time. Mary Holland’s next move was to fingerprint the men in the surrounding area of Winnebago. Then Mary moved on to the men in Rockford. She and the men that assisted her gathered and compared the fingerprints of 1,000 men. The people who knew and loved the elderly victim were only too glad to give up their fingerprints to help catch the killer. Unfortunately, though every avenue was explored, the owner of those three bloody fingerprints was never found. Mary Holland worked this case to the best of her ability and the fact that she didn’t solve it, never left her. She would go on to consult with authorities in some of the country’s worst crimes and put many criminals behind bars. This amazing woman who earned herself the name “the most famous woman detective of her time” would remain haunted by Margaret’s murder. Her greatest fear in all her cases would be that if she did not catch these killers then someone else would die. Margaret Grippen’s murder has never been solved. Mary E. Holland died on March 27, 1915 at the age of 47. R. 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. hauntedorckford.com.

RACVB View

Rockford Region and Beloit to Welcome Large, National Softball Tournament to the Stateline Rockford Area CVB

Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB), Visit Beloit and other area partners announced a sports tourism win for the Stateline region at a news conference this afternoon. The 2019 National Softball Association (NSA) North-Central “B” & “C” Girls Fast Pitch World Series will be hosted in the Stateline for the first time Wednesday, July 17 through Sunday, July 21. This is also the first time the Rockford region and Visit Beloit have officially entered into a partnership to co-host a national sports tournament. The NSA World Series is the largest girls fast pitch softball tournament that each community has ever hosted. It is expected to generate over $2,102,494 in estimated economic impact, draw 5,000 or more athletes and attendees and utilize approximately 4,000 room nights in the Rockford region and an additional 1,600 room nights in Beloit, Wisconsin and Elgin, Hoffman Estates and Freeport, Illinois. Visitors will travel from 12 US states and Canadian provinces including Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ontario. Numerous softball games will be played at the Rockford Park District’s Mercyhealth Sportscore One (Rockford, IL), Harlem Community Center (Machesney Park, IL), Davis Junction Community Park Softball Fields (Davis Junction, IL) and the Youth Sports Complex – Stateline Family YMCA (Beloit, WI). The tournament will drive tourism by bringing in top youth female softball players from nearly 200 teams (8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U age groups), tournament directors and spectators to the area. “The RACVB, Visit Beloit and other partners like the Rockford Park District saw an opportunity to leverage our combined resources to bring this large-scale tour-

Softball at Mercyhealth Sportscore One nament to our region – which happens to be the largest softball tournament the Rockford region has ever hosted. We have a great relationship with our neighbors at Visit Beloit and are confident we will provide the best fields, facilities and accommodations to over 5,000 visitors expected to be here in July,” said Lindsay Arellano, RACVB vice president of sales & servicing. “We are grateful to the NSA tournament organizers for making the decision to bring this tournament here and look forward to proving to them that they made the right choice.” It was also announced that the Rockford region and Beloit will be included in the rotation to host future NSA World Series tournaments. Tournament organizers say they hope to be able to work with both destinations every two to four years. More information about this will be provided at a later time. “We are thrilled to work in collaboration

with the Rockford Area CVB in order to host this national tournament. By working cooperatively across the Stateline, our destinations are combining all of the best facilities and partners to create a one-ofa-kind experience that these athletes and families will never forget,” said Celestino Ruffini, Visit Beloit executive director. “The National Softball Association’s decision to come to the Stateline area is a major win for our region not only for the economic impact it will create, but also for the opportunity to showcase the best of what our area has to offer.” The NSA tournament games are open to the public and there is no admission fee to spectate. “We selected the Rockford region and Beloit, Wisconsin communities based on the great relationship that has been getting developed over a few years with NSA Illinois Girls Fast Pitch State Director Bob Biehl, plus the relationship we have forged from

just a meeting at a NASC Conference with the RACVB. We feel these relationships have set the foundation for a great partnership between NSA, RACVB, Visit Beloit, Rockford Park District and other community partners,” said Bill Horton, NSA-BPA president/ CEO. “NSA will continue to build on our partnership with not just NSA Girls Fast Pitch Worlds but Adult Slow Pitch and our BPA Baseball programs.” Additional details about the organization and tournament can be found at nsafastpitchworldseries.com. National Softball Association is a full-service organization that offers a division of play and a level of competition that youth and adults can enjoy. Their mission is to be the most successful Softball Association in the United States. They will achieve success by uncompromising commitment to superior team/sponsor/ coach satisfaction, director-umpires oriented environment, industry leading values/selection/services and ethical business conduct.

The Future is Rural BY DRS. ROBERT & SONIA VOGL CONTRIBUTORS

Seed starting: An introduction BY GRANT MCCARTY CONTRIBUTOR

As spring is upon us, it is now time to consider vegetable seed starting. Many vegetable seeds can be grown indoors before transplanting them in late April/May. Usually smaller seeds like tomatoes/pepper beneﬁt from starting indoors. The beneﬁts to seed starting are that you can select the varieties you want and may save some money. A seed packet will list when the seed should be planted outdoors or when you should start the seed indoors. It usually lists the number of days/weeks before/ after frost. For example, tomato seeds could be started indoors this week since you would be planting the end of May. For seed starting, you will need containers, a light source, growing media, and your seeds. Seed starting media is commonly found near the seeds at stores. This mixture provides vital nutrients for your seeds to get growing. It also is lighter in weight and traps in moisture. You want to avoid using garden soil as this will be too heavy and will not provide your seeds with the nutrients they need. A light source will be necessary. This can be in the form of a desk lamp, windowsill, or a special grow light. Fluorescent lights can be used and work

well. Keep in mind your seedlings need 12-16 hours of light in order to grow and thrive. This light source will need to always stay 3 inches above your tallest transplant. If the light source is too far away, your transplants will become “leggy/spindly”. Having the ability to raise/lower the height of a light source is beneficial. If using a windowsill, you may need to rotate the seedlings too. Plastic containers will work well for starting seeds. These flats will have a wide range of cell sizes in a single flat. Whether you choose a plastic container or a di�erent pot to grow your seeds in, look for ones that allow for drainage. To start your seeds, moisten the growing media and fill up each desired cell/pot. In each cell/pot, place 2-3 seeds to ensure good germination. Push these seeds down gently. Cover the seeds with the media. Gently mist the media with water. A clear plastic cover could be placed to trap moisture in. Once seeds have germinated, remove the cover. As your seeds grow, keep the media moist and your transplants will be ready to be planted in no time. 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.

Last week’s article, A potential solution to the climate change problem, includes redesigning the industrial agricultural system to reduce its intensive reliance on fossil fuels, using less energy demanding crops and repopulating the countryside by involving more people in producing crops. A report, The Future is Rural: Food Systems Adaptations to the Great Simpliﬁcation, o�ers a fuller explanation of the interest in repopulating the countryside to support a less industrial approach to agriculture. There have been earlier back to the land movements in our country. During the Great Depression in the thirties many unemployed people moved back to family farms to survive the hard times. After World War II veterans returning from the war moved to rural areas seeking the simple life. In the 1960s and 1970s a substantial return to rural settings occurred in response to a desire to escape life in urban and suburban settings. We, ourselves, have embraced a rural lifestyle with modern conveniences while heating with wood, powering our home with renewable energy and raising a menagerie of small animals. Our rural lifestyle is rooted in ecological interests developed through experiences in our childhoods and outdoor learnings in our undergraduate and graduate studies. The latest call to embrace rural living is rooted in a concern regarding the inevitable decline of fossil fuels and the inability of renewable energy sources to fully replace them. These technologies are portrayed as unable to support large urban populations and will necessitate a population shift back to the country. The report o�ers another way to look at our energy and environmental predicament and provides a strategy to create a local, sustainable, resilient food system. The authors see our food system as facing a substantial risk from climate change and a decline in energy supplies which will force many of us to act in new ways to increase our food security. Rebuilding a local food system is a challenging task today with cheap fossil fuels and relatively expensive labor. But

the report envisions a time when energy supplies will be less available and more costly while climate change will force major changes in the structure of modern society. Perhaps a bigger challenge lies in the fact that we live in an amazingly technological society and tend to believe that technological improvements will arrive in a timely manner to solve our problems. However, relying on technology to solve the problems created by technology does raise a concern that seeking technologically based solutions might not prove successful. Ignored to a great degree are the adverse environmental impacts of modernization including those coming from industrialized agricultural operations. With the ongoing decline in rural populations and small towns the call for a return to rural living is seen as a means to arrest the decline. Art Cullen, editor of Storm Lake Times in Iowa, has pointed out why rural America needs a new deal, preferably a green one. Two-thirds of Iowa’s counties are losing population and the loss of their industrial jobs. Soil losses are cutting yields and crop quality. Torrential rains disrupt farming. Farmers have had ﬁve straight years of losses from low commodity prices as corn and soybean production exceed market demand. Resistance to new power lines slows development of wind and solar farms. Utilities try to cut net metering for customers installing systems. Cuts in federal funds reduce rural incomes. Anti-trust enforcement would improve the opportunities to diversify the farm economy. Among all the threats facing society is the ongoing decline in living standards for the average American based on falling incomes. If the anticipated loss of jobs from increasing levels of automation including driverless cars, trucks, busses and other intrusions into the job market continues, survival in the rural setting might gain increasing appeal. Keeping a garden and supporting local food providers can be done today. The call for action made in the report addresses state and federal policy actions essential for a future that is rural. R.

Thursday, March 21 Wild Ones Meeting - 7 p.m. at Rock Valley College Physical Education Center PEC0110 (lower level), 3301 N. Mulford Rd. 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.

ROCKFORD – The Rockford IceHogs are back in the playoff conversation after sweeping a three-in-three series last week. The series began Friday at Van Andel Arena in a showdown with the secondplace Grand Rapids Griffins. Anton Forsberg was the game’s stalwart, stopping 46 shots en route to a 3-2 win, his 12th of the year. The Griffins bothered Forsberg all night as the teams skated to what appeared to be yet another overtime contest for the IceHogs. Things nearly changed abruptly in the third period, however, when Grand Rapids pulled Patrik Rybar for an extra attacker and quickly pushed a shot by Forsberg for what looked like the tying goal. Joni Tuulola came to the rescue, however, deflecting the puck out of the goal mouth just as it reached the line. Graham Knott then prov ided game-winner to send the IceHogs home with a 3-2 decision. The play developed as Knott and Victor Ejdsell rushed toward the Grand Rapids zone and Ejdsell fed Knott for his fourth of the season. Forsberg stopped 19 shots in the first period, 10 in the second and 17 in the third for his second-best performance of the 2018-19 campaign. The effort is second only to his 49-save night on Dec. 15 against the Texas Stars. “We are really coming together as a group and playing team game,” Forsberg said. “We still have some things to work on but it’s huge that we are playing as team. We are going to need every game here going forward.” It was the Collin Delia and Peter Holland show on Saturday night. The second-year goaltender stopped 33 shots while the former Toronto Maple Leafs forward scored the overtime winner to quiet the Cleveland Monsters 3-2 at the BMO Harris Bank Center. The goal happened when Jordan Schroeder grabbed the puck and raced along the boards and hit Holland heading towards the Monsters’ net. Holland didn’t miss a stride and beat Brad Thiessen from the left side. Holland leads Rockford in scoring with 24 goals and 32 assists. He amassed most

of the those points with the Hartford Wolf Pack before the Rangers traded him to the Blackhawks for Darren Raddysh on Feb. 18. Delia is now 4-1-0-0 in his last five games. Thiessen finished the night with 30 saves. In a must-win for Rockford Sunday, the IceHogs survived a defensive battle and escaped with 2-1 win over the Texas Stars, who sat in fourth place in the Central Division before the opening faceoff. The only scoring for Rockford came in the first period when Alexandre Fortin and Andreas Martinsen lit the lamp. Fortin’s opened things up at the 13:52 mark when Texas’ Philippe Desrosiers lost sight of the puck on a Spencer Watson wrap-around attempt. Fortin skated in from the right side and punched it in to give the ‘Hogs a 1-0 lead. Three minutes later, Martinsen rushed in on Desrosiers and but was stopped on the initial attempt. Martinsen kept coming across the crease, collected the rebound and buried it high into the Stars net. Denis Gurianov made it 2-1 in the first, but Forsberg slammed the door on Texas from there, stopping 30 shots over the next two periods, including a barrage of pucks in the final minutes when the Stars sent out a sixth attacker. “It’s playoff hockey,” coach Derek King said. “It’s that atmosphere. And for the teams we are playing, it’s a grind for them, too. One loss and you’re in last place and one win and you’re maybe chasing up a first place.” Sunday’s win put Rockford one point ahead of Texas for the Central’s fourth postseason spot. The bottom four teams are all still mathematically alive, however. That means Rockford must post a strong showing in its 12 remaining games to secure a berth in the Calder Cup Playoffs.

An imperfect balance: How the Bears’ 2019 free agency signings fit By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

Free agency wasn’t always an idea NFL teams had to consider. For most of the league’s existence, if you drafted a star you had the opportunity to keep said star unimpeded for most of his career. When Hall of Fame defensive end Reggie White threatened a class action lawsuit, White v. NFL, on behalf of the NFL Player’s Association in 1993, that changed. As the inception of the salary cap and free agent system most know today came into fruition, the brain trust of the league wasn’t pleased. Then defending attorney Frank Rothman believed it would be “the destruction of the National Football League we know today.” In some ways, despite hyperbole, Rothman was correct. Free agency was a major wrinkle personnel leads never had to contend with. The NFL is historically an antiquated beast rooted in fear of wide scale change. Allowing players more freedom and giving more work to general managers was unheard of simply because it wasn’t seen as necessary. Making it an incremental part of the NFL off-season calendar meant taking a completely different approach to building a good team. It inherently meant more creativity on the part of many leaders not interested in doing so out of sheer stubbornness. But Rothman’s evident fears in seeing what it would mean for the league were unfounded. Free agency gives bad teams a chance at hope and quickly. It gives contending teams the opportunity to sand over rough edges of their roster without worry. It allows players a measure of freedom in dictating how their careers envelop as they seek security. No one can argue as to the benefits it’s proliferated for a league desperately needing revisions. Free agency isn’t a perfect process, and it has a great deal of kinks to work out. The upcoming expiration of the collective bargaining agreement after the 2020 season is a testament to that notion. But in the over quarter century since it’s inception, it’s difficult to argue it’s not only made the NFL machine stronger, but more of an all-encompassing titan. Under general manager Ryan Pace, the Bears have traditionally been a team that writes metaphorical blank checks in free agency. They’ve been the team seeking a quick injection of hope. From Eddie Royal, Pernell McPhee, Akiem Hicks, and Danny Trevathan, to Mike Glennon, Prince Amukamara, Allen Robinson, and Trey Burton, Pace’s Bears haven’t been shy in using free agency as a shoulder to

lean on. For better or worse, it’s defined a significant portion of Pace’s tenure at Halas Hall. The first week of 2019’s free agency, or the official start of the new league year, has come and gone. The Bears, curiously and necessarily, veered away from being big spenders under Pace for the first time. Shrewd investments in Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Mike Davis are a far cry from big fish signings of Robinson and Trevathan in years’ past. After four off-seasons, the Bears were finally a contending team patiently sanding over the edges with relative questions as to how some of their additions fit into their plans. The headliner of Chicago’s latest free agent class is Cordarrelle Patterson, a two-time Pro Bowl kick returner and formerly one of the most underrated weapons for the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots. In 2018, the Bears had one of the worst kick return units in professional football. Patterson, predictably, was one of the best. To limit Patterson’s contributions to solely special teams would be reductive. For the first time in his six-year career, New England saw value in getting occasional snaps out of Patterson as a running back and receiver. Patterson has never been multi-faceted enough to be a full-time offensive weapon, but in short bursts the blazer is often unmatched. The 28-year-old averaged four offensive touches a game between rushing and receiving for the Patriots last season. His average yards per touch was a stellar 8.96. Defensive coordinators having to game-plan for Tarik Cohen, Taylor Gabriel, and Patterson are about to lose a lot of sleep. On defense, it’s a bet on the rest of the Bears’ sound, elite operation lifting up their two newest starters. 2016 Second-Team All-Pro Ha Ha Clinton-Dix once saw a magical career lie ahead of him. The former 2014 first-round pick looked like the Packers’ long-term answer at safety. That is until his play experienced a significant drop off over the last two seasons. Clinton-Dix, ever the playmaker with 14 interceptions in five years, has developed a reputation as a timid tackler who takes poor angles to ball carriers. On a porous Packers defense, Clinton-Dix’s reputation for risk-taking wasn’t welcomed when he couldn’t make the simplest of plays. In the interest of full disclosure: If you wanted a Bears’ reintroduction to the flawed duality of a Bears safety like Chris Conte, Clinton-Dix is your man.

The Bears’ bet in bringing in the veteran 26-year-old is in him becoming more disciplined while playing next to former college teammate and superstar Eddie Jackson. The Bears’ hope is that with a decreased responsibility on a stacked defense, Clinton-Dix’s penchant for freelancing becomes more palatable, and less unfortunate. On a one-year deal, it looks like a low-risk, high-reward scenario. But the Bears are playing for a Super Bowl in 2019. Every move they make carries more weight and risk than normal. The same prospect goes for former Jet Buster Skrine. Skrine’s career statistics are impressive with a cursory glance. 457 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and nine interceptions is nothing to sneeze at for a nickel cornerback. It’s solid math, and as we’re told, numbers aren’t supposed to lie. Of course, that’s only when you neglect to mention Skrine’s numbers were compiled over nine playing seasons and 85 starts. One pick a year suddenly becomes far less eye-popping. Numbers can lie, without context, and in how they’re interpreted. As Bryce Callahan’s replacement at nickel cornerback, the experienced Skrine has sizable shoes. Sizable in position importance, not because the 5-foot-10 Callahan is a giant. Like with Clinton-Dix,

the Bears will attempt to hide a weak link as the rest of their defense lifts everyone else else up. The issue with Skrine is whether that’s actually possible. Over the course of his “illustrious” career, Skrine has committed 64 penalties. From Cleveland to New York, he’s led his team in penalties in all but two playing seasons. The 29-year-old Skrine is a hard-nosed that lives to up every football player cliche, but to say he’s been a net gain for any NFL team he’s played for would be mistaken. Saying poor defenses with the Browns and Jets limited Skrine doesn’t help his case. If he was on a bad defense, what does it say when he was the one most consistently picked on? You can only hide your liabilities so much. A fresh change of scenery could help awaken a new Skrine. Sometimes the opportunity to refocus is invigorating. More likely, the Bears’ faith in their special defense better not be misplaced. The Bears wouldn’t have to face any of these questions without free agency being a reality. Then again, they wouldn’t have been able to build one of the league’s best teams without it either. R. Robert is a writer, editor, and producer. You can follow him on Twitter @RobertZeglinski.
