Financial Fallout

Trump’s showing rattles world markets

By Steve Holland & Emily Stephenson Reuters

Republican Donald Trump scored a series of surprising wins in battleground states including Florida and Ohio on Tuesday, opening a path to the White House for the political outsider and rattling world markets counting on a win by Democrat Hillary Clinton. With investors worried a Trump victory could cause economic and global uncertainty, the U.S. dollar sank and stock markets slammed into reverse in wild Asian trading. Opinion polls before Election Day had given Clinton a slim lead. Mexico’s peso plunged to its lowest-ever levels as Trump’s chances of winning the presidency increased. Concerns of a Trump victory have weighed heavily on the peso for months because of his threats to rip up a free trade agreement with Mexico and tax money sent home by migrants to pay to build a wall on the southern U.S. border. Trump won in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. With voting completed in 49 of the 50 U.S. states, he also narrowly led in Michigan, New Hampshire and Wisconsin, giving him a clear advantage in the state-bystate fight for 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. Both candidates still had ways to reach 270, but Clinton would have to sweep most of the remaining battlegrounds including Pennsylvania, Michigan and either Nevada or New Hampshire. Trump captured conservative states in the South and Midwest, while Clinton swept several states on the East Coast and Illinois in the Midwest. After running close throughout the night in Virginia, Clinton pulled out the swing state that is home to her

running mate, Senator Tim Kaine. At 7:55 p.m., Clinton acknowledged a battle that was unexpectedly tight given her edge in opinion polls going into Election Day. She tweeted: “This team has so much to be proud of. Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything.” As of 10:10 p.m., Trump had 215 electoral votes to Clinton’s 209, with U.S. television networks projecting the winner in 38 of the 50 states and the

District of Columbia. Before Tuesday’s election, Clinton led Trump, 44 percent to 39 percent in the last Reuters/Ipsos national tracking poll. A Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation poll gave her a 90 percent chance of defeating Trump and becoming the first woman elected U.S. president. Also at stake on Tuesday was control of Congress. Television networks projected Republicans would retain control of the House of Represen-

tatives, where all 435 seats were up for grabs. In the Senate, where Republicans were defending a slim four-seat majority, Democrats scored their first breakthrough in Illinois when Republican Senator Mark Kirk lost re-election. But Republicans Rob Portman in Ohio and Marco Rubio in Florida won high-profile Senate re-election fights. In a presidential campaign that

focused more on the character of the candidates than on policy, Clinton, 69, a former U.S. secretary of state, and Trump, 70, accused each other of being fundamentally unfit to lead the country. Trump again raised the possibility on Tuesday of not accepting the election’s outcome, saying he had seen reports of voting irregularities. He gave few details and Reuters could not immediately verify the existence of such problems.

Sosnowski, Cabello hold General Assembly seats

Republican state legislators Joe Sosnowski and John Cabello both won their races against Democratic challengers Tuesday. Sosnowski defeated Angelique Bodine in the 69th District, collecting around 65 percent of the vote at press time. The Belvidere Republican has served in state House of Representatives since 2010. Cabello was leading Tricia Cratty Sweeney at press time. With more than 55,000 ballots in

the Machesney Park Republican had around 60 percent of the vote. Republican Frank Haney looked safe to win the race for Winnebago County Board Chairman over Democrat John Nelson. In the race for Winnebago County Coroner, Frank Fitzgerald was leading Bill Hintz at press time. The candidates are competing to replace the outgoing Sue Fiduccia. Republicans looked set to hold onto the

majority in the Winnebago County Board. GOP candidates Dave Fiduccia and Fred Wescott held onto their districts, while Democrat Dorothy Redd kept her west Rockford seat. Republican incumbent John Guevara was locked in a tight race with Democrat Dan Fellars late into the evening Tuesday. Sources with the Guevara campaign told The Times that he had retained his seat by a marging of just a

Energy & Environment

Will legislation accelerate the energy revolution? By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl

President and Vice President, Illinois Renewable Energy Association

e witnessed crippling of the early stages of the energy revolution during the 1980s. Technological advancements and cost reductions since then and growing global concerns regarding climate change suggest the transition is unlikely to be stopped, but a determined national effort is underway to slow the transition. A 2012 report from the Edison Electric Institute, Disruptive Challenges, identified rooftop solar as being a disrupter to the existing utility business model and suggested utilities make a determined effort to stop this customer driven competition (Amy Heart, director of public policy for the company SunRun). For the last 15 years a combination of utility, state and federal policies have contributed to the growth of renewable energy and efficiency in Illinois but recent legisla-

tive proposals from Exelon and ComEd are seen by renewable energy and consumer advocates as having the potential to slow the transition at a time when technological advancements and ongoing price reductions in renewable energy systems, efficiency, battery storage and electric vehicles have dramatically improved their market acceptance. Faced with multiple proposals from the various parties seeking to have their interests included in new energy legislation, legislators have called on them to resolve their differences and send a unified bill for legislative consideration. The contested issues include whether to bail out Exelon’s nuclear plants in the Quad Cities and Clinton to keep them operating; fixing the renewable energy portfolio standard in which available funds for renewable energy projects are not being used; requiring utilities to meet their renewable energy obligations by financing them in Illinois; replacing selling electric power at

an average fixed price per kilowatt hour to a demand charge based on a customer’s single highest 30 minute period of energy use each month; the level of utility sponsored energy efficiency investments; eliminating net metering; and installing inverters for solar systems which would allow ComEd to control the amount of solar generated electricity sent to the utility. For some critics the legislative approach to energy reform in Illinois is so complex that it should be addressed through the Illinois Commerce Commission where evidence is submitted by competing energy experts and stakeholders and reviewed by the Commission to assess its implications and fairness to all interests involved. Of particular concern is that switching to peak demand charges from fixed charges per kWh is without research or pilot studies to provide data to assess its potential impacts, particularly on elderly and low-income customers (Kari Lydersen, In Illinois energy

bill drama, demand charge is central and evolving, citing Amy Heart). However, the policy issues are being addressed through legislation. Some renewable energy advocates believe the changes in energy policies advocated by ComEd and Exelon are seen as adding unpredictability to customers’ energy bills in an attempt to slow down the transition to a cleaner, more energy efficient system. ComEd and Exelon claim the changes are in the interests of its customers. Advocates believe the switch to demand charges and ending net metering could slow the speed of the solar transition. They have called on concerned citizens to make their views known to their state representatives, local political leaders and the general public via letters to the editors. A full overview of the interests and issues in the pending legislation can be found in the article by Kari Lydersen. The legislation will be addressed in November. Visit illinoisrenew.org.

Science & Technology

The third man on the Moon Forty-seven years ago, we traveled back to man’s final frontier. By John DC Gow • Guest Contributor

e’re all aware of Neil Armstrong’s first words on the moon. What isn’t so well known is what the third man on the moon, Commander Charles ‘Pete’ Conrad Jr, said as he found his footing on the lunar soil. Four months after Apollo 11, the wise-cracking Conrad stepped onto the surface and told the world, “Whoopie! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that’s a long one for me.” It was partly funny, partly said as a bet, and wholly in the spirit of Apollo 12.

Conrad was joined on his mission by Command Module Pilot Richard Francis ‘Dick’ Gordon Jr and Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean. Conrad and Gordon were already best friends and Conrad knew of Bean because he was his instructor years before. Conrad was short, bald and had a gap-toothed smile. He was full of fun and energy but swore so much in the simulator, NASA feared he would do it publicly. Gordon was outgoing too. He was strong and square-jawed with a gift for the ladies. They had roomed together as pilots on the USS Ranger aircraft carrier and were also the twoman crew for Gemini 11 three years earlier. Alan Bean was different to them - he more serious. The three became the first all-navy Apollo crew and drove matching Corvettes, but Bean loved checklists and the tiny details, something the other two hated. Even when serving as a pilot he took evening classes to learn oil painting. While Conrad and Gordon were natural pilots, Bean wasn’t, but he became a top aviator through determination. Conrad admired Bean for his persistence and problem-solving ability, and fought

to get him on his crew. But it nearly all came apart moments after lift-off. At 36 seconds into the fight, Pete Conrad saw a flash from the corner of his eye. Suddenly the Master Alarm screamed into their ears. Everything relating to the electrical system was flashing. No-one had seen so many alarms going off at once in a simulation, never mind reality. “I just lost the platform”, said Conrad. They didn’t know it at the time, but they were hit by lightning. At 52 seconds, a second strike (which the crew didn’t even notice) surged through the giant Saturn V to do more mischief. Those on-board and on the ground were confused. Eventually a bright young flight controller, John Aaron, remembered something similar in a practice months before and gave a command to flick an obscure switch. With his eye-for-detail paying off, only Bean understood the message and it helped recover telemetry and give clarity. Conrad later said that since the guidance system and engines seemed to be fine he never once considered an abort.

NASA

The Rock River Times | RockRiverTimes.com | November 9-15, 2016 | With the Saturn V rocket stages continuing without further problems they knew they were on the way and the tension eased. “Was that ever a sim they gave us,” said Conrad incredulously, “There were so many lights up there I couldn’t read them all.” The three astronauts laughed together as they traveled into orbit. After checking to see if there was any lasting damage – and the trans-lunar injection burn to the moon - the three were on their way. They occasionally celebrated by simultaneously bobbing up and down in the Command Module Yankee Clipper to the hit song ‘Sugar, Sugar’. As much as you can in zero-gravity the Apollo 12 crew ‘danced’ their way to their destination on the Ocean of Storms. What NASA didn’t mention to the exhilarated astronauts was a fear the lightning had damaged the pyrotechnics on the Command Module parachutes. If that was the case, nothing could be done, so it was decided there was no point in adding additional worries. One of the reasons for the decided landing site was to find and take back pieces of the unmanned Surveyor 3 sampler craft which had landed on the moon two years earlier. The crater it rested in, and the ones surrounding it, looked like a snowman with Surveyor 3 sitting in the belly. It meant a pinpoint landing, but after Apollo 11 ended up four miles off course, it was a lofty goal and opened NASA up to public ridicule if they missed. Although Conrad was a brilliant pilot and impressive in the simulator, he let his crew-mates in on how he felt about landing the Lunar Module Intrepid. “Twenty-four hours from now, Beano, we’re on our way down pal” said Conrad to Bean, “that’s when I get nervous. [But] find that little muthuh [Surveyor 3] and I’ll land it right side up.” His openness was unusual in their highly macho world and the opposite of Apollo 11, but he was amongst friends and he didn’t need to pretend. Part of the natural tension was also that Conrad didn’t believe such a precise targeting could be done. This would be the first time. Conrad knew he was good and could drop the Intrepid anywhere, but it had to be relatively flat. When Armstrong went off-course he found truck-sized boulders and deep craters. When the time came and Intrep-

id automatically ‘pitched over’ so Conrad and Bean could get a better view of the upcoming landing site, Conrad hesitated. For a horrible moment nothing was familiar. Then he saw his trusted ‘snowman’. His excitement was overflowing: “Hey, there it is. There it is! Son-ofa-Gun! Right down the middle of the road.” Twice more - even while trying to land - Conrad was still verbalizing his thoughts saying: “I can’t believe it.” “The boys on the ground do okay,” replied Bean. It was understated, but a big compliment for all those at NASA who had worked tirelessly to achieve the incredible. But it wasn’t over yet. Bean recalls feeling a moment of fear when Conrad took over the controls from the computer and was tilting the Lunar Module around to pick his spot. Bean had not used the landing trainer and didn’t know such sharp maneuvers were necessary. With so much dust being thrown up by the Intrepid’s thrust, Conrad was mostly reliant on his instruments and Bean’s continuous relaying of distance to the ground and rate of descent. Unfortunately, the instrument he used to detect lateral motion didn’t seem to be working. A Lunar Module could land

with some sideways or forward or backward motion (just as Apollo 11 did) but it wasn’t ideal. The four module legs had an obvious give, but the perfect landing was straight down. What Conrad didn’t know at the time was that the instruments weren’t broken. They showed no lateral movement because his vertical descent was near-perfect. Less than 50 feet to go an excited

Bean was telling Conrad that he had “plenty of gas” and “he’s got it made”. After they had touched Bean turned to his friend: “Good landing, Pete! Outstanding, man.” Dick Gordon orbiting the moon alone in the Yankee Clipper was privately disappointed he couldn’t go that extra 0.1 percent to the surface. Yet he never mentioned it or held it against the rookie Bean.

He simply told his buddies on the surface to “have a ball”. When outside they managed to be the first (and so far only) astronauts to contact another human machine outside Earth, and took pieces of the Surveyor 3 home for analysis. They also set up the first long-term scientific experiments on the moon called the ‘Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package’ (ALSEP). The only blight happened when Alan Bean destroyed the color television camera by accidentally pointing it towards the sun. The other disappointment was Pete Conrad failing to smuggle a giant baseball cap to cover his space helmet, although another joke did succeed. Some on the ground managed to smuggle Playboy pinups into Conrad and Bean’s cuff checklists which were usually filled with technical reminders. The risqué photographs were accompanied with lines such as ‘Seen any Interesting Hills and Valleys?’ Conrad’s intermittent laughter confused those back on earth - except the crew who had set up the joke. With Dick Gordon alone and awaiting his buddies, it was time to take off and rendezvous with the Yankee Clipper for the journey home. The engine used for ascent from the moon was a one-off. There was no ignition system as it relied on mixing chemicals which ignited on contact. But the propellants used were so corrosive it was untested prior to use. It either worked or it didn’t, and if it didn’t you were soon dead. Conrad sensed the tension in Alan Bean and asked him if he was worried. “Yep” came the terse reply. “Well”, said Conrad, “there’s no sense worrying about it Al, because if it don’t work, we’re just gonna become the first permanent monument to the space program”. Of course, the ascent engine (and parachutes in the atmosphere) worked. They spectacularly fulfilled their mission goals showing that friendship and professionalism could complement each other. Over the years Alan Bean would say his special memories were not about landing on the moon, but being with his buddies Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon. America may correctly remember Apollo 11, but it should not be forgotten that the best of America was also on the other Apollo missions – especially Apollo 12. For the record, Pete Conrad never received the winnings from his bet.

Veterans Day

Peace memorial finds new downtown home

By Jon McGinty Contributor

Veterans Memorial Hall and the Rockford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will introduce a new memorial to the community in ceremonies this Friday, Veterans Day, at 10:30 a.m. Entitled “Veterans—A Memorial to Peace,” the central focus of the new construction on the Wyman Street side of the building is the installation of the newly restored Civil War statue that most recently stood at the northeast corner of Auburn and Main Streets. Construction of the new site began this past August, and was completed earlier this week. Friday’s ceremony is intended to emulate a similar event held at the same location on Armistice (Veterans) Day in 1933. There will be a moment of silence at 11 a.m., an address from a local politician (Illinois 16th District Congressman Adam Kinzinger), a 21-gun salute by the Marine Corps League, and the playing of taps. The site will be adorned with poppies created by Easter Seal Kids, a symbol of veterans’ appreciation since World War I. The Civil War statue, sometimes called the “Boy in Blue,” has been undergoing repair and restoration at a Forest Park studio since its removal from the Auburn and Main roundabout at the end of 2014. Andrzej Daznowski, director of Conservation of Sculpture & Objects, completed the work which restored the zinc statue to its original condition. The cost of dismantling, repairing and re-installing the statue was $34,000; the cost to prepare the

site at Memorial Hall was $129,000. Both were paid for by an Illinois Public Museum Capital Grant program that was awarded in June of 2014. The new site will include eight bronze plaques to be installed at a later date, and which will describe the history of Memorial Hall, the Civil War statue, past Armistice/Veterans Day events, and the various veterans’ organizations which have used the Hall for events and meetings since its construction in 1903. The statue was originally purchased by the Winnebago County administration in 1900 and installed as part of a fountain adorning the north entrance to the old courthouse on West State Street. It was removed in 1967 and stored at the county highway department while a new courthouse was constructed, then returned to the northwest entrance foyer in the new building in 1969. After suffering some vandalism, it was eventually enclosed in a glass case. In 1984, as a collaborative effort by the Winnebago County board, the Rockford Park District, Greenwood Cemeter y, and the North End Businessmen’s Association, the statue was again moved to the Auburn and Main intersection, and placed on a pillar that was once part of the façade of the Carnegie Library on Wyman Street. When the Main and Auburn roundabout was completed the County Board decided to remove the statue, restore it and reinstall it at a new site at Memorial Hall, where they believe more people will have better, safer and more frequent access to see and appreciate it.

Chatting with The Claudettes’ Iguana By Thomas Simpson Contributor

Formed April 1, 2011 in Chicago, The Claudettes have been described as blues, jazz, soul-punk, rockabilly and cartoon-music all rolled into one. They will be returning for their second show at Mary’s Place on Saturday. Today we caught up with Claudettes’ pianist Johnny Iguana for a quick chat. Rockford Rocked Interview: Hey Johnny, thanks for taking time out to talk with us. Tell us who the Claudettes are and how the band was put together. Johnny Iguana: Hi there, Todd. Well, we began as a piano-drums instrumental duo, and we were the house band for a rather unhinged bar owner in Oglesby. Her name was Claudette, the bar was called Claudette’s, and so we named ourselves the Claudettes. We no longer have anything to do with her, but we still decorate our stage setup to look like that dive bar, with scrolling drink specials everywhere and even a portable bar on our stage. We now have vocals and bass in addition to the drums and piano. We’ve been touring a whole lot and are gonna keep hittin’ it ‘til mid-December. RRI: You’ve been in Rockford before. What do you think about our little town and have you had time to check out any of the local music? JI: Disappointingly, I’ve only come into town to play a show, and then had to drive away. I’d love a tour and some insider tips! RRI: Singer Berit Ulseth’s voice marries well with your

“vaudevilleish” sounding piano especially on cuts like “Give it all up for Good.” Thoughts? JI: So many bands operating in roots and blues have a fire-breathing, loud, confrontational singer. I really prefer the cool-voiced approach, like Berit’s. I think the band being red-hot and her being cool-blue is a winning combination. It makes me feel good. RRI: I understand you guys have been touring the U.S. on and off since May 2016. What has been your favorite city to visit thus far?

JI: Well, everyone in our band loves playing in New Orleans and New York City. Those are hard to top. Always exciting. RRI: You guys draw in a big blues/jazz crowd and you’ve played with guitar cats like Otis Rush and Buddy Guy. What happens when the drunk yells out for “Red House” or “Stormy Monday”? Do you keep a guitar onstage just in case? JI: Ha, no, I keep a megaphone, so I can say, “Pipe down over there!” (LAUGHS) We keep plenty of real-deal Chicago

piano-pounding blues in the set, along with the more adventurous original songs and instrumentals, to keep everyone happy. RRI: The band just recorded with renowned producer Mark Neill at Mark’s Soil of the South studios in Valdosta, Georgia, and the new album is set for release in the spring of 2017. What can we expect from the new album? JI: It was recorded in such a whirlwind, and we haven’t heard the mixes yet, so it’s even somewhat of a mystery to us. We do know that what we heard in the con-

trol room was breathtaking. Mark said he was going to make us a very “spooky” record, and he sure did! The genres in play seem to spiral out in every direction, but it all just sounds like the Claudettes to me. RRI: Where can we find out more about the Claudettes? JI: Some recent live videos (more are coming) and photos (ditto) are here: theclaudettes.com. There’s also more band information and tour dates there. For our first two albums, please go here: yellowdogrecords.com/

theclaudettes. RRI: Final thoughts? JI: We don’t ever take the stage without pledging to put our full hearts and souls into what we’re about to do. It’s like a sacred oath. The show will move and highly entertain you. So come, especially so as to observe my mantra: “When in Doubt, Go Out!” The more people that follow that simple advice in this Netflix world of ours, the better. • • • The Claudettes play Mary’s Place, 602 N. Madison St. this Saturday at 9:30 p.m.

Indie TV strikes again By Paula Hendrickson Contributor

ublic access television, YouTube, and other streaming services have opened up viable opportunities for motivated writer-producers to get their shows seen even if they don’t have connections at a production studio or network. One example is the locally produced sitcom The Deadersons, which started on YouTube and is now available on Amazon Prime and can be seen on a public access channel in Kenosha. Similarly, a creative and resourceful group of Australians produced Sonnigsburg, a high-quality, six-part supernatural drama premiering November 14 on community stations in Melbourne and Adelaide. It will be viewable the next day via YouTube. I cannot wait to watch Sonnigsburg. One of the writers, Keith Gow, is a longtime online friend and an outstanding writer. (I’ve been privileged to read several of his scripts over the years, but not a single page of Sonnisburg, which is actually the brainchild of writer/producer Fiona Bulle.) In honor of Sonnigsburg’s premiere, I asked Gow a few questions. Here are a few highlights. Paula Hendrickson: How and when did the idea to make Sonnigsburg start out, who was involved, and how did the collaboration work? Keith Gow: Fiona Bulle, a writer/producer, who had made a web-series, a short film and feature film, really wanted to make a TV series and decided there would be a market for

supernatural drama on Australian television. She brought together a group of writers to create the story and write the scripts in a writers’ room, based on the US model. The crew were mostly found through people who had worked on Fiona’s previous projects, but for casting we wanted to look outside the regular actors we always worked with. PH: How long did it take from the time the first script was finished until its TV debut? KG: The first script was finished in June 2014, just before it went into production. The series will air in November 2016, so about two and a half years. PH: A lot of people dream about selling a TV series, but you guys made it on your own. What were the challenges – and benefits – of making the show on your own terms, and with limited funds? KG: We tried to write and cast and produce the show as close to professionally as we could. That meant lots of re-writes. That meant proper call sheets for shooting days. A lot of us were learning as we went, but we tried to do everything the way a fully funded production would do things. But without a proper budget, scheduling was more difficult and re-shoots were harder. In a way, all those things were challenging – but we all got to learn more than we would have if the project was out of our control. If we’d sold the script to a network, we wouldn’t have all been able to challenge ourselves with trying things we’ve never done before. PH: Judging from the trailer, Sonnigsburg

has amazing production values. How were you able to make telecast-quality episodes on such a tight budget? KG: We have an amazing professional director of photography, Bernard Winter, who has camera equipment that would have been beyond our budget. But, the truth is, these days everyone has access to camera equipment that can make broadcast quality television. Most phones even shoot in HD now; not that I would recommend making a TV show on your phone. Nearly all our equipment was owned by friends or could be loaned from people we know. All the people who worked on the show have ambitions to work in film and television. Every aspect of the series has been touched by people who are up-and-coming professionals. It was an opportunity for everyone to test out the skills they had learned at university or film school or just by working on smaller projects prior to Sonnigsburg PH: YouTube is a viable option for indie series, but what does it mean to you that Sonnigsburg will air on a community station as well? KG: … I think the fact that it’s airing on TV allows the show to stand out a little bit more. It’s great that anyone can put a show online, but that has become a very crowded marketplace. Especially in this day and age, where a lot of people watch TV through streaming services, the line between TV and the internet has blurred significantly. But for a project like this, it’s nice for it to be able to stand out from the crowd a

little. Though we are very proud of the series, so we’re glad it will be made available on YouTube the day after each episode airs. PH: What’s been the best part of the Sonnigsburg experience, so far anyway? KG: I think the excitement generated by the trailer has been a real vindication for the team; it’s had 200,000 views on Facebook from all over the world. The trailer looks good and showcases just a little of what we have been able to achieve. The finished product is going to be even better. I’m so proud of everyone who worked on this show, but I am thrilled that people are going to discover some amazing new actors in the show. Our lead, Ann Truong, is phenomenal. PH: How would you convince readers wondering why they should watch an Australian series on YouTube to check out Sonnigsburg? KG: Sonnigsburg is a great universal story about being haunted by your past and how our characters cope with that. It’s a mystery to be unraveled but also a really human story … and it’s a creepy story with ghosts.

Ouija prequel an improvement on first effort By Thomas Simpson Contributor

hereas it isn’t uncommon for a toy line to launch a film series, action figures such as Transformers come with a ready-made plot, board games not so much. Battleship was a mundane mess that shared a title with its influence and little else. The Ouija board is a different concept entirely. It has a unique history fuelled by urban legend and belief. Though 2014’s Ouija was panned by critics, it raked in over $100 million at the box office against a $5 million budget. Rather than go for a rehashed sequel, Blumhouse productions opted to release a prequel releasing Oujia: Origin of Evil in time for Halloween.

Taking place in 1967, widowed Alice Zander (Elizabeth Reaser) makes a meagre living as a fortune teller. Accompanied by her daughters, Paulina (Annalise Basso) and Doris (Lulu Wilson), Alice justifies her conning of clients by believing that she brings comfort to the grieving customers that seek answers. When she plans on implementing a Ouija board into her act, Doris discovers that she has a real gift when it comes to communicating with the dead. At first the Zanders believe they’re talking to the girls deceased father, however Paulina scepticism turns to fear as she worries that there are darker forces at work. Stylistically, Ouija: Origin of Evil is a joy to watch. The grade gives it a more authentic grainy look and is a refreshing departure from the over polished and sterile

horror films that tend to flood cinemas at this time of year. Screenwriters Jeff Howard and Mike Flanagan (who also directs) let us spend time with the family to invest in them, to care about their struggles. They aren’t mere sacrificial lambs offered up to the evil that awaits, they’re a family with real life worries and hurt. The only criticism in that regard is the pace is really slow in the first act as events are set up. It pays off once the frights starts with Flanagan crafting a sustained terror to keep us hooked rather than go for cheap jump scares and fake out, something which its predecessor was heavily criticised for. The cast deliver solid performances with Wilson’s talent shining through as she channels the spirits. The results are unnerving with her

presence making uncomfortable viewing. The visual effects are subdued and used effectively. They accompany the frights and don’t drag the film down with cheap parlour tricks. Ouija: Origin of Evil may be a prequel but it stands alone as its own film and does well to banish any preconceptions that may have arisen due to Ouija’s poor reviews. It’s a rare case of a horror sequel being a vast improvement that the first one. It’s often said that the Ouija board was popular with dating couples as it forced them to get close, Ouija: Origin of Evil is faithful to this tradition as there’s likely to be a lot of cuddling together during its 99 minutes.

Commentary

Extremism found its champion in Trump

By Adam G. Klein The Conversation

olitical correctness was one of Donald Trump’s earliest targets in his presidential campaign. From the onset, his massive crowds cheered whenever he would defiantly declare, “I’m so tired of this politically correct crap.” He often went on “straight talk” discourses spouting his beliefs about “real” America, Mexican immigrants, Muslim terrorists, inner-city crime and even the old war on Christmas. On the campaign trail, Trump has often assured audiences, “I am the least racist person that you have ever met.” But to feed his need for uncensored talking points, Trump has drawn politically incorrect rhetoric from a bottomless online well of conspiracy theories and unfiltered intolerance. His “dog whistle” comments – their true meaning audible only to those already attuned to them – have given the radical right an amount of publicity, and legitimacy, never achieved in prior elections. Yet what all this says (or doesn’t) about Trump himself is not as important as what it shows us of modern American bigotry. The more Trump’s words have been examined and associated with racist and xenophobic ideas, the more the public has come to identify similarly objectionable beliefs, comments and actions in society all around them. Trump has given extremists a high-profile stage, but in the process exposed them to the disinfecting sunlight.

Extremism on the edges

As a researcher of online extremism, my investigations have focused on two general tiers of digital hate culture. The first is the well-traveled network of extremist websites that work hard to avoid appearing racist at first glance. Sites like Daily Stormer, American Renaissance and Occidental Observer have been skillfully designed to seem like faux-political blogs, social networks and news sites. And yet they contain fervently prejudiced discussions on issues like black violence, Jewish media, the prospect of deportation forces and the 2016 GOP candidate. Underlying this discourse

is the recurring refrain that the white race is under siege. The second layer of online extremism is that which has infiltrated, and in some cases, been quietly sewn into, some of the internet’s most popular blogs and news hubs. The rightwing Breitbart News website has a discussion tag bringing together visitors wishing to read about and comment on “Black Crime” in America. On Alex Jones’ InfoWars, followers are fed a regular diet of conspiracies about “illegal aliens” among us. And on The Drudge Report, readers can regularly find headlines collected from across the web about the shrinking white majority and the related rise in minority populations. Digital demagoguery in the mainstream It is clear that this next possible president draws from this world. One of Trump’s earliest – and most sustained – involvements with the digital fringe was the birther movement, attacking President Obama’s legitimacy to be president. It began with questions about the first black president’s nationality and faith spreading like ivy along the margins of cyberspace in 2008. Then it graduated onto increasingly mainstream blogs and into campaign politics. Trump sustained it in countless tweets and media appearances over many years. As his campaign ramped up, Trump built on these connections. In November 2015, some of his supporters attacked a black

protester at a rally in Alabama. The next day, Trump tweeted a racially charged meme highlighting the number of “Whites killed by Blacks.” The statistics he cited were patently false, and the source nonexistent. But the fact that he had tweeted it meant the underlying idea became national news. In January 2016, Trump drew fire for giving a megaphone to the web’s fanatical underbelly, by retweeting the sentiments of a white supremacist Twitter user. Deeper analysis found Trump often retweeting posts from people who used a “white genocide” hashtag. By August 2016, Trump was rebooting his campaign for a third time, choosing as his campaign manager Stephen Bannon, the head of Breitbart News. That brought mainstream attention to the site, and some of its recent headlines, such as “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy,” “Bill Kristol: Republic Spoiler, Renegade Jew,” and “Hoist it High and Proud: The Confederate Flag Proclaims a Glorious Heritage.” Through his connections to these digital demagogues, Trump has empowered narratives that would otherwise have no place in electoral politics.

Exposing the alt-right

But by bringing unprecedented attention to extremist views in 2016, Trump also forced

America to see these threats in the light of day. That could be their undoing. Exposed, these guises of bigotry have been recognized, decoded and even classified – as the “altright” – by the press and public. When last we saw the racist fringe in mainstream media, neo-Nazis and KKK members were regulars on “The Jerry Springer Show,” mocked rather than feared by audiences. Today’s vast online interconnected network of hate, with its Trump-aided inroads into mainstream culture, may yet suffer the same fate. Birtherism, for example, is no longer being debated on the right as a legitimate movement. By 2016’s first presidential debate, it was being cast as a clear pretense for racism, with questions from the moderator shifting to Trump’s role in perpetuating the charade. Similarly, Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric was widely compared to David Duke’s brand of white nationalism after the former KKK leader publicly endorsed him. More recently, civil rights groups quickly identified Trump’s talk of election rigging in the cities of Chicago and Philadelphia as coded racism for “voter fraud” among the black community. And an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll recently concluded nearly 70 percent of Americans “say they have concerns about Donald Trump’s comments and language on women, immigrants and Muslims.” In Trump’s journey to abolish political correctness, he has led his supporters to an awkward impasse. No doubt, his backers continue to admire in Trump someone who has the courage to “tell it like it is.” But now they often find themselves saying, “He doesn’t really mean that.” These two sentiments cannot logically coexist. As for Trump himself, whether he truly believes in the extremist positions he has intimated and associated himself with over the past 16 months we may never know. But John Oliver may have phrased it best when he said, “You are either racist or you are pretending to be, and at some point, there is no difference.”

Your Horoscope By Denise Guzzardo

This Week: The full moon in Taurus arrives November 14 and will create quite a stir. Many of you may be feeling the effects of this already, with highly charged emotions and unexpected aggravation. Exercise and healthy eating habits can ease some of the frustration this planetary climate has created. Intuition runs high and prophetic dreams will be very prominent during this lunar cycle. Enjoy! Aries (March 21 to April 19) — There are no coincidences, this is a time frame where you are running into everyone from your past. These chance meetings hold the key to future success. You will be expanding your career sector in ways you never thought you could imagine. By summer all of your hard work and efforts will come to fruition. The past holds the key to your future, Aries. Taurus (April 20 to May 20)— Your intu-

When December arrives, it arrives with a bang. All of your hopes, dreams and ambitions begin to fall into place, Taurus. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) — A pending fear of loss could bring out the worst in your significant other or a family member at this time and misdirected energy can create conflict. Keep the peace. You are clever enough to heed the warning signs and steer someone off into a new direction. Once this sets into motion there is no going back, do not allow another to fuel the fire, Gemini. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) — You may feel as though you are grieving the loss of someone near and dear to you at this time. You may be struggling with keeping your emotions in check. It’s okay to feel something this deep. You will have the resolution you need by week’s end as well as a sense of peace, Cancer.

week’s end you will begin to feel like yourself again. Try not to worry about the health or welfare of a female friend, the outcome is much better than it initially appears, Leo. Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) — You will be put in a position of authority at this time. You will handle this with grace and ease. Someone needs you to step up to the plate and protect them; you have the emotional tools to do just that. Choose your words carefully, count to 10 before you speak, Virgo. Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) — Romance may have had you in the dumps but now the tables are turning for the better. All of the unforeseen events are out in the open and you have the tools to battle these difficulties one by one. Before week’s end a heart-to-heart talk clears the air and sets your mind at ease, Libra. Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) — You’re in a position to have the upper hand at this time. Take these steps to protect those you love and allow yourself the time and space you need to take care of yourself as well. You have the tools to accomplish great things in life. Your intuition is dead on accurate now, utilize the information you receive, Scorpio. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) — Opportunities arrive to improve the quality of your life, especially in the career sector. You have underestimated your abilities and your emotional state has caused you to go into a shell. Crack it open and look around. Be open and receptive to change even if it makes you a bit uneasy at first. Blessings are on the way shortly, Sag. Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) — Romance becomes a priority this week. You have been so overwhelmed with a business aspect that there has not been much time for a little romantic R&R. Even if it’s just a night out on the town, the efforts you take will be received in the best possible light, allowing you to move forward now. Make return phone calls and keep up with business ventures midweek, Capricorn. Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) — You’re in the limelight during this time frame and you may not feel like being there. Heavy emotional conflict has taken a toll on your energy. The best way to recharge your sensitive state is to push through it. Once you become neck deep in a functioning project you will forget about all of the conflicts of those around you. Legal matters and financial aspects are highly charged in your favor at this time; embrace this, Aquarius. Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) — Watch that you do not get into a tangle with a loved one or friend this week. Pressures are mounting and you may not have the tools to deal with theses emotions properly. Surround yourself with tried and true individuals that have your back at all costs. Next week you will see the money pouring in from all directions, Pisces. For an extended astrological forecast or psychic consultation, contact Denise at 815398-3983.

THERE IS A NEED FOR NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY EQUIPMENT

ILESTONE’s mission is to help each Individual reach their fullest potential and live as full a life as possible. Our Interdisciplinary team includes both physical and occupational therapists and a PT/OT program is designed for each Individual to meet their needs. Many times rehabilitation therapy is needed after an extended hospital stay, and can keep a person ambulatory. Chris’ family gained first hand knowledge about the difference a strong PT/OT department can make after she returned to MILESTONE after an extended hospital stay. Before she had to go to the hospital Chris was able to walk, but after a month of being mostly bedridden she returned to Milestone non-ambulatory. With guidance, work, time and care from the PT/OT team, she was able to regain the ability to walk with the same level of assistance as before she entered the hospital. Jill Morgan, MILESTONE’s PT/OT coordinator, says, keeping our individuals ambulatory and mobile for as long as possible is entirely essential to their overall health. Weight bearing stimulates bone strength, range of motion exercises, active or passive promotes circulation, stimulates the bowels and keeps their joints fluid and the 1 on 1 attention gives them comfort and stability. Without PT and OT our individuals health would deteriorate at a more rapid rate, according to Morgan, who adds, osteoporosis, constipation and contracture of muscles and fusion of bones would occur more rapidly and more quickly interfere with our ability to care for them. Their quality of life would seriously decline. Providing and supporting what limited mobility many of our individuals have is truly as vital and valuable as any treatment or medication. But in order to do this equipment is needed, everything from walkers, to air pressure and orthotic splints, custom molded shoes, versiform cushions and walking belts. There is currently a need for standers, along with gravity, the standers help stimulate bone growth and helps maintain bone strength. The straightening and stretching of the leg mucsles and tendons also help an Individual maintain lower extremity mobility allowing for better personal care and aiding in the potential for ambulation. The change in perspective (going from sitting to standing) stimulates brain activity, and visual motor and proprioceptual skills. Our current standers are over 20 years old and we need Building Lives • Building Futures additional ones. Please call the Resource Development Department at (815) 639-2965 if you would like information about making a donation for this program.

Detoxification Through Ion Cell Cleanse By Julia Michniewicz, N.D. In today’s toxic environment with drinking acidic water, eating garbage processed foods and with chemical/heavy metal residues building up in our body faster than we can detox them it is so important that you do cleanses. No wonder so many people have allergies and physical/emotional diseases. Every day people come into my office with unexplained rashes, dark circles under their eyes, swollen joints, yellow-green blotches, edema and extended belly’s that are full of yeast challenges. When clients come to me for detoxification, I use two methods. Colon hydro-therapy and an Ion cell cleanse which is a foot bath. Here are just a few benefits of the foot bath: • Liver detoxification • Purge heavy metals • Increase energy and reduce stress • Internal cleaning with full body purge • Significant pain relief • Improve memory and sleep • Liver, kidney, and parasite cleanse • Skin problem • Enhance immune system I have had wonderful results from the Ion cell cleanse but here is another wonderful benefit that just happened to me last week while using this wonderful machine. It was last Thursday and I was walking my client Mark out to his car. I opened the back door for

him and as I put my left foot down to walk out my foot hit the outside rug the wrong way and I twisted my ankle. Mark saw me lose my balance and asked me if I was okay and I said “yes” sheepishly and walked him to his car. I limped back into the house, drew a bath and added Epsom Salts. When my bath was done my ankle did not feel any better but I knew it would the following morning. Friday morning comes and I was wrong. I could hardly walk. I hobbled to the kitchen and all of a sudden I thought why not do a foot detox. As I was doing the detox the clear water instantly turned orange. I have had this machine in my office for over 10 years and I know that orange is a sign of detoxing the joints. When the machine turned off I wiped my foot and got up. The pain was gone. Another wonderful Naturopathic Miracle. I have used this machine for children who are too young for colon hydro-therapy. I incorporate this machine with clients that have auto immune disease but I have never used this machine in the 10 years of owning it for a sprained ankle. Unbelievable the power of Naturopathic Medicine If I can help you with your alternatives health, please do not hesitate to call upon my services.

Still more room for cattle price recovery?

By Debra Levey Larson U of I News Bureau

URBANA – Some say this is the most volatile cattle market ever, according to Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt. An evaluation of that statement would take considerable number crunching, he says, but everyone can agree that very few people expected cattle prices to go above $170 per hundredweight in late 2014, and then to fall below $100 in mid-October 2016. “If finished cattle prices dropped by nearly $75 in the two years after the 2014 high price, how much did they rise in the two years before the high? The lowest weekly price of finished steers in 2012 was $113. Prices rose by $59 before falling by $75,” Hurt says. Supply and demand for beef are the primary drivers of finished cattle prices, Hurt adds. Small supplies of cattle in 2014 were the result of the devastating Southern Plains drought and high feed prices in the 2010 to 2014 time period. Small cattle supplies meant high finished cattle prices. In 2015 and 2016, lower feed prices and more cattle coming out of feedlots resulted in lower prices. “However, another little-reported potential driver of this price volatility lies in the fact that adjustments at different levels in the beef chain occur at different rates,” Hurt says. “Stated most simply, cattle prices and wholesale beef prices tend to adjust quickly to changes in cattle supply while retail prices adjust more slowly. As cattle prices rise, retailers are slow to increase retail beef prices. This keeps the quantity of beef demanded strong. More of the retail price is bid back into the cattle price. This may ‘overstimulate’ cattle prices. “We are now on the other side of that relationship as retail beef prices have been slower to come down, keeping retail beef prices higher and weakening the quantity of beef demanded and lowering the share returned to the cattle price,” Hurt continues. “This may cause cattle prices to drop more sharply and overshoot on the downside. This overshooting on the downside may have occurred most recently. Packer and retail margins were narrow in 2014 and the farmer’s share of the retail dollars spent on beef was 55 percent, the highest annual level since 1993. This year the opposite is true, with packer and retail margins at record highs resulting in the farmer’s share of only 45 percent.” Into 2017, Hurt says retail beef prices will likely continue to decrease and marketing

margins will decrease with a greater share of the retail beef dollar getting back to the cattle price. Although it is difficult to accurately predict how large this impact will be, it seems within reason to expect about an $8 to $12 improvement in finished cattle prices just based on narrowing marketing margins in 2017. “Trade is going to help as well in 2017,” Hurt says. “As U.S. beef prices come down in 2017, there will be less beef imports and more beef exports. USDA’s current projections are for 11 percent less beef imports and a 6 percent rise in beef exports. Even though U.S. beef production could be up 3 to 4 percent in 2017, the positive impacts of trade mean that per capita beef supplies in the U.S. may only rise less than 1 percent. If demand stays similar, 2017 finished cattle prices would be expected to be modestly lower than this year’s $118 to $120.” According to Hurt, there continues to be a wide variation of opinions about the cattle market in 2017. Cash cattle prices have recovered about $7 in the past three weeks. Futures prices also recovered. However, futures traders remain far more pessimistic than the current fundamentals seem to suggest. Using futures prices on Nov. 7 as a proxy for cash prices suggests 2017 finished cattle would average in the higher $90s. USDA analysts who use fundamental price models are forecasting the average finished cattle price to be $112 to $121. The mid-point of their forecast range is $116.50 per hundredweight, which is more consistent with current supply and demand expectations. “Clearly, wide swings in the cattle market over the past four years has made it difficult to establish benchmarks of what a high price or a low price for cattle should be,” Hurt says. “Cattle prices have lost their price reference points. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that it is the role of markets to ‘discover’ the correct price over time. “The cattle industry has been through numerous shocks, including high feed prices and drought, in recent years,” Hurt says. “In trying to discover the right price, markets often have to overshoot and then undershoot. Finding the right price is not easy, yet markets are generally considered the most efficient way to find that elusive level. At the same time, we need to remember that the volatility implied in finding that right price has major financial consequences on participants in the entire beef chain, from cow-calf operations, to feedlot owners, to packers, to retailers.”

Wrapping up with vehicle aerodynamics

By Allen Penticoff Contributor

his is the last in this three part series on aerodynamics. Previously, we had the basics (with a bit of flawed math – to be explained later) and a look at the aerodynamics of camping trailers. This part will address the changes in aerodynamics of the over-the-road freight industry – better known as tractor-trailers or semi-tractor trailers. Since the technically correct term is “tractor-trailer” that is what I shall use here. Outside of aviation, no industry has probably benefited more from aerodynamic improvements than the freight/trucking industry. Up until recently, tractor-trailer rigs were utterly devoid of aerodynamic and environmentally friendly efficiencies. The tractor bodies may be shaped like a dice cube and the trailer behind it was shaped like a Velveeta box (only us ancients know what this is about, so let’s call it a long box). Enter high fuel costs and concerns about global warming. The governments of the world are concerned about global warming and who puts what into the atmosphere. Freight hauling enterprises are concerned with the cost of fuel going sky-high. Enter the engineers. Long had the engineers known that tractor-trailer rigs could use some cleaning up – now was their chance to do something about it. Shoving a box down the highway at 70 mph requires a lot of energy and thus fuel. That’s dollars to the trucking companies and pollutants to the government. In town at 20 mph, 28 percent of a tractor-trailer’s power goes to overcoming aerodynamic drag,

while 72 percent goes to the rolling resistance of tires and other equipment. Bump that speed up to 70 mph and the aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance swap factors; 70 percent of power goes to overcoming drag and 30 percent to other factors. Clearly, since the bulk of tractor-trailer time is spent on the highway at high speeds, some significant savings in fuel consumed can be made by making their passage through the air more efficient. First off, 25 percent of the total aerodynamic drag of the whole rig is the tractor itself. From the cubeshaped tractor we’ve now evolved tractors with pointy-ish front ends, smooth fenders, integrated fuel tanks, faired headlights, sleeper cabs with high tops that deflect air over the trailer and other improvements in getting the impact air around the tractor and for it to blend with the trailer. In fact, 25 percent of the drag is created by the turbulent interface of the tractor to the trailer. Anything that can deflect the airstream up and over or around the front of the trailer improves its efficiency and the faster they travel the more important this becomes. The other 50 percent of aerodynamic drag comes from the trailer. Try to visualize the air flowing over and around the tractor… it’s eight rear tires present themselves to the air and create turbulence (suction) behind them. Undercarriages and the trailer’s own eight tires present more impact resistance to the air and more turbulence behind them. Enter the trailer “skirt.” With this simple skirt of thin metal draped under the trailer between the tractor’s tires and the trailers tires, air is prevented from circulating behind the tractor’s tires, reducing

turbulence – the undercarriage is not exposed to direct air flow, and the impact of air against the trailer’s tires is very limited. All that is left is the turbulence behind the trailer – which in itself is a whopping 25 percent of total drag. That’s 25 percent for the interface, 25 percent for under the trailer and 25 percent for behind the trailer. While I daydreamed about inflatable pointy tails for trailers, working engineers figured out a way for an origami of simple flat panels to greatly reduce the drag/turbulence/ suction of the trailers. One of the more popular designs is called “Trailer Tails” sold by Stemco. These panels fold out from the back of a trailer to create an easier path for the air flow to exit off the trailer. Canted in slightly, the air follows this path so that the immediate vortex coming off a 90-degree angled edge is reduced dramatically. The reduction in drag is significant. A Trailer Tail in itself will reduce a modern tractor-trailer rig’s diesel fuel consumption by 14.4 percent at 70 mph – that’s a lot of money and a lot of air pollution. There are other benefits besides increased efficiency. The reduced turbulence makes the trailer more stable. The spray is reduced during rainy weather, improving visibility for the driver and those who follow them. The increased stability means the driver is fighting the trailer less – decreasing driver fatigue. This all sounds win-win to me. In fact, having recently had some long interstate highway road trips – dealing with following or passing modern, updated and “trailer-tailed” trucks is much less the problem it was in the recent past with the old “box” designs. They are hardly worth trying to draft for increased

fuel efficiency (and a terrible thing to do anyway – we’ll leave that to NASCAR drivers). Stemco’s website has some good video showing the differences in old versus new trucking aerodynamics. In 2004, a government (EPA) and the trucking industry organization formed SmartWay® Transportation Partnership, creating a voluntary industry/ government partnership to promote reduced fuel consumption and green house gas emissions. SmartWay develops test protocols and verifies performance of vehicles, technology and equipment that can reduce fuel consumption and global warming emissions. Trucking fleets, are seeing the advantages of being SmartWay certified as shippers seek to reduce their own climate impact. For an aerodynamic devise to get SmartWay certification, it must reduce fuel consumption by 5 percent. Generally, trailer skirts and tails reduce fuel consumption by 5 percent or more each. While this has not been an exhaustive look at trucking aerodynamic efficiency, because some wind tunnel analysis and other products have shown promise – including all electric tractor-trail-

ers, we have come a long way and can be thankful for that. I hope to see more efficiencies along these lines as the aerodynamic improvements are a good cost-benefit to the truckers. I’ll conclude this series with a response to letter writer, Ed Schott (TRRT 10/26-11/1). Mr. Schott’s message was technically accurate. I delved deep into books and online aerodynamics resources. None had simple solutions. But I believe Mr. Schott’s message was fundamentally correct but over-explained and confusing. The essence is found in a book by Larry Reithmaier – Mach 1 And Beyond, page 31 – “…parasite [and form] drag is directly proportional to the square of the speed.” Unless, dear reader, you are VERY good at complicated math, your take away is, and you can quote me, “The faster you go, aerodynamic drag increases dramatically.” The curve looks like the national debt – ever arching upward the further you move along the chart. That’s why driving slower saves you fuel cost and the atmosphere pollution.

Understanding your soil

By Grant McCarty

Local Foods and Small Farms Educator, University of Illinois Extension

If you are wrapping up either a successful or unsuccessful garden season, you’ve got your soil to thank for this. All plants, whether vegetables or flowers, depend on the soil to give them the nutrients they need to grow and yield well. Understanding your soil can be your first step in addressing problems or maintaining successes. The first thing you need to do when it comes to your soil is to respect it. Don’t treat your soil like dirt as a lot of soil scientists will tell you. Dirt is “misplaced” soil. Consider your soil to be a living/ breathing organism. There is a lot of parts that influence our soil. Climate, weather, rock material, topography, animals/plants, and time are all combined in having an influence on what your soil looks like and making your soil work for you. Soil is made up of four properties: water, air, parent material, and soil organic matter. Water and air allow for soil to recycle and change over time. The water in our soil is the only place that our plants take up nutrients. The parent material is rock that has influenced our physical properties of soil and may make it easier/harder to grow

plants with. Soil organic matter contains most of the nitrogen and phosphorus available for plant uptake. It also contains the soil biological functions. Your soil physical properties include soil texture and structure. Texture is a percent of sand, silt, and clay. When people say they have a heavy clay soil, it means that their soil is dominated by clay with a clay texture measurement of over 50% with silt and sand comprising the other 50%. It’s nearly impossible to change your soil texture as it means adding one of these three “ingredients”. The other physical property is soil structure. This is how soil fits together. If you examined your soil under a microscope, you would see the particles fitting together in different ways. They might be round, flat, blocky, and/or a combination of these. Your structure is one that you can change either positive or negative. Understanding your soil is a key first step in successful soil management. Knowing your structure and texture can ensure that you aren’t harming your soil accidentally. Next week, we’ll look at soil chemistry and plant nutrients. Grant McCarty’s tips and tricks for local eating and your at-home garden appear every week in The Rock River Times.

The Dearly Departed Sisters were not afraid of bacon; in fact, they loved it in salads and as an overall accent. I remember Aunt Millie’s rubbery breakfast bacon, with eggs and bacon gravy and biscuits, my favorite, with affection. Bacon wrapped chicken livers were also a favorite. Even though Bacon Fest may have just taken place at the Prairie Street Brewhouse, this recipe has good old piggy appeal in case you’re missing making bacon. Bacon, bacon, bacon.

‘Return-to-learn’ laws don’t help students after concussion

By Lisa Rapaport Reuters

ight U.S states have laws requiring schools to give students extra help after a concussion, but a new study suggests these efforts may stop short of giving kids the support they need to succeed. In most cases, these so-called “Return-toLearn” laws hold schools responsible for helping injured students resume regular studies, the study found. But none of the laws spell out what support kids must get when their symptoms linger long after a concussion. “State Return-to-Learn laws are vague, and not uniform in their target audience or recommendations,” said senior study author Dr. Monica Vavilala of Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center in Seattle. “The focus around concussion is on return to play, and not Return-to-Learn,” Vavilala added by email. “We think that Return-to-Learn should occur before return to play.” Each year, an estimated 1.1 million to 1.9 million children suffer a concussion that requires them to miss school. Afterward, they must figure out how to return to academics while they’re also dealing with physical, cognitive, emotional and sleep-related problems stemming from the injury, researchers note in the journal Pediatrics. Nine in 10 of these injured students still have at least one symptom-related academic issue

when they return to school, researchers note. But fewer than one in five schools have formal plans in place to help students navigate academics after a concussion, the authors also point out. To assess the effectiveness of laws focused on the academic aspects of recovery, researchers examined laws on the books as of May 2016. The study included laws in Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Nebraska, New York, Virginia and Vermont. Since then, one more state – Oklahoma – passed a Return-to-Learn law, Vavilala said. Researchers considered laws to be focused

on learning if they contained language mandating specific actions at the state, local or school level related to the academic reintegration of youth who have sustained a concussion. While all eight state laws required the establishment of specific protocols for returning to academics, only half included any standards for what should be included, the study found. Where they did exist, standards were vague, without any specific mechanism for assessing effectiveness or outcomes, the study found. Only one state - Illinois - specified standards consistent with guidelines laid out by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for setting up post-concussion protocols. One limitation of the study is that it only examined state laws, which may not account for policies in place at the local level or for individual schools, the authors note. They also

lacked data on outcomes and on whether the laws worked well for individual students or at specific schools. It’s also possible there may not be a need for state laws to spell out the academic support students need after a concussion, a separate team of researchers argued in an accompanying editorial. That’s because most concussion symptoms resolve within three weeks, Dr. Mark Halstead, a sports medicine researcher at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and colleagues write. When symptoms linger, schools are already legally required to establish what’s known as 504 Plans for students with substantial educational difficulties, the editorialists write. Federal civil rights laws also prohibit discrimination against students with disabilities. “There is already legislation in place to help support students in the school setting, so the effort of additional legislation is really an effort of redundancy,” Halstead said by email. “What needs to be done is making sure schools are aware and equipped on how best to make the typical temporary adjustments that may be necessary to help get kids through their schooling as they recover.” Concussion symptoms that hamper academics can sometimes be invisible, though, and may include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, emotional instability, and or sensitivity to noise or light, Vavilala said. “We do not want to create disability when students recover and are no longer symptomatic but at the same time want to make sure students receive timely and carefully crafted best practice academic accommodations,” Vavilala said.

Bears won’t go quietly into the night T By Robert Zeglinski Contributor

he thing about confidence is that you’re allowed to feel as brash and bold as much as you want regardless of whether there’s a hint of realism or not. It’s about building yourself up and maintaining a positive mindset, because when the stakes are high, you never know what could happen. That unwavering optimism is the ideal floating around Halas Hall and the fresh off the bye Bears this week as they look for their own magic in the stretch run of the season. While Chicago is currently mired in last place in the NFC North at 2-6, it’s not like there isn’t reason to believe this team can’t make a run, provided they have no missteps. After all, with the formerly invincible Vikings in free fall after three straight losses, the Packers stuck in average quicksand at .500, and the flawed Lions needing five fourth quarter comebacks to vault themselves into first place, every goal is still attainable for the Bears. There is not a juggernaut among their division rivals that they can’t vault over theoretically. They’ve already beaten the Lions and Vikings and hung with the Packers for three quarters with a third string quarterback on the road. There’s reason to believe albeit reason that possesses no margin for error. The second half of the season features seven of eight games with conference opponents and one more matchup with each North foe. All of these games are essentially winnable contests in which the opponent will feel the very same way of the Bears. If there was ever a time for that magic to roll into the playoffs as Chicago’s roster heals at the right time, your proverbial wishbone finally came through. Disappointing losses – such as against Jacksonville and Indianapolis – handicap the Bears immediately, as they have more ground to make up. It also means two losses and in all likelihood, probably one, eliminates you from contention. But it doesn’t mean the Bears are giving up or dwelling on their previous disappointment. That’s just a waste of energy and willpower. Head coach John Fox had the same sentiment to a media contingent about a first half that could’ve and should’ve acted as more of a launch pad. “If you spend too much time looking back, (in your rear view mirror), you get wrecked.” Fox said in Monday’s press conference. Disastrous driving analogies aside, Fox has a point. Whatever mistakes the Bears made aren’t just going to be erased altogether. You don’t receive that luxury in the NFL. Chicago isn’t going to get a second chance to go back in time to make up for lost opportunities. The only measure to take is to learn from those mistakes in attributed to whatever factors

of coaching, lack of execution in general, and of course health. Chicago is going to focus on the road ahead to control their destiny instead of lamenting what could have been. In the end, lady luck may indeed smile on this team when ready. And that newfound health might just be the straw that stirs the drink for the Bears. Every available player on the roster sans Kevin White, Kyle Fuller, and Deiondre’ Hall, are set to play against Tampa Bay this week. In the case of White and Fuller, one of them will return off of injured reserve in December, while Hall is still expected to come back soon off of an ankle injury. All of the returns to action are justifiable reason for optimism for Chicago considering the roles they play. The list rattles on from stalwart nose tackle, Eddie Goldman, cornerback Bryce Callahan, the Bears’ two best offensive linemen in Josh Sitton and Kyle Long, and even slot receiver Eddie Royal. All nagging ailments are washed away at shore for now. Each of these men, whether it be the man in the middle of the defense in Goldman or Sitton and Long acting as Jay Cutler’s personal bodyguards, are a great boost. The bye week of necessary rest away from the game afforded the Bears to work their way out of a crowded infirmary. And now they look all the more cohesive and talented again for it. Hey, maybe there is a reason they’re feeling so confident. Add in seemingly everyone’s favorite punching bag in Cutler – fresh off of his sparkling Monday night performance against Minnesota – and you have an entrenched team leader that’s necessary for guidance on this ride for the Bears. Royal piggy backed off of his coach’s thoughts in that regard. “We got so much faith in each other in this locker room. We feel like we can win every game.” said Royal on Monday. Say whatever you like of realism, Royal’s attitude reflects his team. If there’s a chance with the door creaked open, there’s hope. If there’s a will, there’s a way. Maybe it’s better as a fan on the outside looking in to stay grounded and just hope for quality development of the team’s growing list of bright young stars. Any number of pieces from the lanky outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, the savvy receiver Cameron Meredith, and the powerful downhill runner in Jordan Howard among others. These are the kinds of guys to watch consistently flash while the Bears work their way to respectability as a spoiler for other teams with a more possible and moderate 5-3 or 6-2 record. Use a strong finish as a springboard for next year. That’s totally understandable to feel that way as it’s akin more to general manager Ryan

Pace’s rebuild anyway. There is positivity to look forward to at the moment, but don’t get too high or too low, too soon. Just don’t tell that to the light minded and maturing Bears. They have their brights on the road and see their prospects lighting up, beyond any focus on simple individual and unit growth. As much as Chicago doesn’t control it’s own destiny for what figures to be the most eventful second half since the Lovie Smith era, they do – at least in their minds. And that’s the first step towards reaching special heights. Said one of the offensive leaders in Long of these Bears so eager to climb: “Win the day. You’re not going to win tomorrow today.” Adapting a mindset of one step at a time is key. There’s no need to rush on the lakefront.

Tampa Bay has been a disappointment relative to preseason expectations. Former number one pick Jameis Winston hasn’t flourished under new head coach Dirk Koetter and in what should have been a winnable NFC South, the Buccaneers have regressed. This is a perfect starting point on the hill for the Bears. When the Bears are on defense: Considering the Bears have almost all of their horses back on their 12th ranked defense, there’s not much to fear with an average Tampa offense that’s ranked 22nd in DVOA-efficiency, is 19th in overall yardage, and just 18th in scoring. Chicago’s defense looks to vault itself firmly in the top 10 and more. Tampa’s offense is just another stepping stone. The Bucs don’t do anything well save for lobs to second-year star receiver Mike Evans, who is fifth in receiving, as Winston is the picture of inconsistency. Winston has an abhorrent 25th highest passer rating in the NFL and is tied for fourth most interceptions with nine. He struggles to make simple reads and can quite frankly, be easily rattled under pressure. For a man of his status in the draft, he is way too off the mark, and often even has trouble with accuracy. Winston is supposed to be the franchise, and yet here he is no man’s land in just own respective second season. His only saving grace is that he can throw up jump balls to Evans on occasion to help him in a growing storm. But even Evans is prone to a mistake with the third most amount of drops among qualified receivers. Running back Doug Martin is possibly set to return from injury, but who knows in what capacity. Needless to say there isn’t much the Bears should be afraid of provided their eighth ranked pass rush (in terms of sacks) gets on another roll as it did against Green Bay and Minnesota. With the return of Goldman, it’s difficult to see the

Tampa Bay offensive line – in the middle of the pack with sacks allowed at 19 – holding up in any facet that allows Winston to do enough damage. Pressure on someone as turnover prone as Winston will allow corners like Callahan and Tracy Porter to make more plays. And in turn allow the Bears to force their most turnovers in a game yet this season. This healthy defense ready to gel should have nothing to fear. When the Bears are on offense: To this point, Chicago’s offense has produced largely like Tampa’s on the surface. The Bears are just 20th overall in yardage and 31st in scoring. Most of that production or lack thereof can be attributed to early season struggles with an offensive line that’s given up just six sacks in the past six weeks after giving up eight in the first two. That led to Brian Hoyer stepping in for the injured Cutler which had the Bears struggled to finish drives Chicago also didn’t have much balance in the running game, but all of that concern has gone by the wayside with the star rookie Howard. So it shouldn’t be surprising, when the underlying numbers, i.e. DVOA-efficiency, has the Chicago offense at 13th. Their output is underperforming and speaks to a significant uptick in market correction not only against the Buccaneers, but through the rest of season. Whether that’s the Cutler effect or everyone on offense getting healthy and finding their groove, it doesn’t matter. This attack is ready to produce. And the Buccaneers are more than ready to appease. Tampa has the 29th ranked scoring defense, and is 22nd and 23rd in DVOA and yardage respectively. This is a team fresh off of giving up 43 points and 463 yards to the buzz saw Falcons offense. You can gash this team in both the passing and running game – they’re ranked in the bottom third of the league defending either – once you find a rhythm. In terms of a matchup, expect the Bears to attack Tampa Bay with a heavy load of play action after getting Howard going, and specifically focus on safety Chris Conte on the back end. He’s a liability in both pass coverage and as a defender in the box. And Chicago will have him as a focal point. The Buccaneers don’t have enough of a pass rush other than premier defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to make Cutler uncomfortable in that respect. And since McCoy’s on the interior, he should be neutralized by worthy counterparts in Sitton and Long. Basically, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains and company are set to have some fun. Early pick: Bears 34, Bucs 19 Robert Zeglinski is a staff writer for SB Nation and managing editor at No Coast Bias. Follow Robert on Twitter:@RobertZeglinski.

WAIT ‘TIL NEXT YEAR JUST THE BEGINNING

push full of overpriced veterans and flashin-the-pan youngsters that will provide a brief flirtation with the hardware while not

filling the trophy case. Maybe it’s just that the Cubs fan base has been starved of championship glory for so long, but the visceral experiences of this World Series win seemed more real than other title runs we’ve seen from other area teams. Seeing W flags on cars and signs in yards, high-fiving strangers and hugging and kissing friends in delight. If nothing else, getting a chance to talk about something other than the election. It seems like everyone got an opportunity to share a story about someone who wasn’t with us any longer – a grandparent who kept an all-too-old radio around just because of the reception it got for WGN, a parent who had a liberal policy for calling kids out of school for a Wrigley matinee, a teacher or a coach who gave them their first brush with the franchise. All of these moments and these stories are what helped make this so special, and so real. These Cubs are real, and they stand a very good chance of being so for a long time to come. It might have taken a bit for us to get our arms around this winning thing, but I think we’ll get the hang of it.

team that helped make this dream that felt like more like an impossible miracle come true, the whole gathering felt surreal. It still does for many, and likely will take more than just simple belief to realize the wait is over. For Cubs catcher and baseball veteran David Ross, the win couldn’t have been a better note to end his career on. Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo was moved to tears during his speech at the rally about his friendship with the 39-yearold catcher. “(Ross) taught me a lot in life on the

field and off the field how to be a better person,” Rizzo said. “I’m forever grateful for him. He’s going out a champion forever.” The Cubs celebrations continued on Saturday evening as Anthony Rizzo, David Ross and Dexter Fowler were guests on Saturday Night Live including an appearance on the show’s mainstay segment “Weekend Update”, where they appeared with special guest Bill Murray as a barbershop quartet doing a jovial rendition of renowned late composer Steve Goodman’s quasi-classic “Go Cubs Go.” The celebration extending across the country as Ben Zobrist, Addison Russell and Javier Baez were part of a parade at Disney World on Saturday evening as well, the first parade for a baseball championship team held at the most magical place on earth since the Boston Red Sox broke their curse in 2004. The fun won’t stop there there, many of the Cubs are set to appear on talks shows throughout the week as the party that has been 108-years in the making continues to unfold. The best part of this moment though is that the curse is over, but this team that stunned the baseball world all season is far from finished. Bring on 2017: the wait is over, but the legend is far from it.

This wasn’t about black cats and goats, curses and hoaxes. It’s about how the right group of people came along after so many half-baked reboots marked with fits and starts and put in place a real plan. Certainly, not every plan is perfect, but what the Ricketts family entrusted Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer with came about as close as a plan can get. How often does so much go right for a team in this sort of rebuilding process? So many prospects hitting – not just the big trade hauls like Anthony Rizzo and the blue-chip draft picks like Kris Bryant, but the under-the-radar guys who could have been swept away in the Rule V like Willson Contreras. So many trades going the Cubs way, turning an aging Ryan Dempster into a wet-behind-the-ears Kyle Hendricks, turning Scott Feldman and some mismatched luggage into Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop. This is star-crossed stuff, and it’s hitting at a percentage you don’t often see, but it’s not by accident. Epstein, Hoyer and company

know what they’re doing, and that’s part of what makes this championship so special. This isn’t a one-off thing, a win-at-all-costs

WAIT OVER From Back Cover

The highs wouldn’t have felt so high without the lows that once felt so low during a historic Game 7 that saw a rain delay; a threerun game tying home run in the bottom of the eighth; and a nail-biting ten inning contest that extended the baseball season and the Cubs’ wait for victory — even just for one extra inning. The reality almost still hasn’t set in, but the marquee at Clark and Addison still reads “World Series Champions” in all capital letters, a message that in case you feel like you’re dreaming, you can drive by and reaffirm its truth whenever you desire. The wait is over, the world feels as though it’s shifted, everything is seen with a new light, the baseball world and the world as we know it will not be the same. The greatest moment in sports history finally came to fruition. Friday afternoon, the streets of Chicago saw an estimated five million Cubs fans – more people than the population of the state of Alabama – line the streets of the city to watch baseball’s most historic World Series parade, one that this city has waited over a century for. The parade felt like a heartfelt and cathartic release of energy for everyone in attendance, and many fans were stirred with emotion for loved ones who couldn’t be there to witness it. As the parade winded around Wrigleyville and made its way to Lake Shore Drive and down

Michigan Avenue, there were people not only lining the streets but rooftops and balconies, standing on light posts, some even sitting on window sills, and for a day all of that was okay. It was controlled chaos and a joy and no one would dare take that moment and away from the city of Chicago. As the rally began with words that felt sincere as they could get from Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts, Vice President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein, and the rest of the

Tales from the Trough

Hogs snap pointless streak at 4 games By Todd Reicher Contributor

The Rockford IceHogs carried a two game losing streak into Charlotte for a quick twogame series against the Checkers. The first period of game one on Wednesday, November 2 was a pretty even match for the most part, but Charlotte kept Rockford’s offense at bay, holding them to five shots on goal compared to Charlotte’s seven. Period two was all Charlotte as the Checkers outshoot Rockford 13-5, but managed only one goal against Lars Johanssen. Brock McGinn tallied his third goal of the season just past the midway point of the game to give Charlotte the 1-0 lead. At the exact midway point through the final period, Charlotte doubled their lead when Sergey Tolchinsky fired a power play marker into the net. With time winding down and down 2-0, Rockford pulled Johanssen for the extra attacker, but Charlotte found the empty net with 2:19 left in the game to increase the Charlotte lead to 3-0. A second empty net goal with six seconds

remaining sealed a 4-0 win for the Checkers. Backstopping Charlotte at the other end of the ice was a face the ‘Hogs had seen many times before in Michael Leighton. As he had done many times before, Leighton was a wall behind the defense and stopped all shots in the game, earning yet another shutout in his illustrious career. The following night both teams took the ice for the second game of the double-header, but the results remained the same with Charlotte taking the win, although in a much closer game on the scoreboard. McGinn opened the scoring again with a marker at 4:53, but Rockford’s Cameron Schilling scored his second of the season with a power play marker at the 16:57 mark of the same frame to knot the score at 1-1. Both teams fired seven shots on goal in the first period, and the same goaltenders that played the previous night stopped six of seven in the opening 20. For the second game in a row, neither team was able to light the lamp in the second period, leaving the game tied after 40. Just over five minutes into the period, Char-

lotte’s Andrew Miller potted his first of the season, breaking the tie and giving the Checkers their second lead of the game. Charlotte’s defense was giving Rockford’s forwards fits through both games, and they really locked down Rockford’s offense, limiting them to a season-low two third period shots and a low 14 in the entire game. On Sunday, the IceHogs headed across to Iowa for their first meeting of the season against the Wild. Rockford came out firing, putting the same amount of shots on goal in the first period of play as they did the entire previous game against Charlotte. However, it was Iowa getting the only goal of the period, scored by familiar face, although this time suited up for the Iowa Wild – Teemu Pulkkinen scored a power play goal just seven seconds into their first man-advantage, giving Iowa the 1-0 lead at the end of the period. Yet again a scoreless second put Rockford behind going into the third at 1-0. With 5:09 remaining in regulation, on their 45th shot of the game, Rockford finally cracked the scoreboard and tied the game at 1-1, with

another defenseman-scored goal by Schilling. The goal ended Rockford’s 5-on-5 goalless streak at 188 minutes of play. The IceHogs were unable to tally the go-ahead goal, so the game was headed to overtime. In the first three periods Rockford outshot Iowa 48-20, which also included 20 third period shots. An overtime breakaway opportunity at 1:36 was converted by Grayson Downing to give Iowa the 2-1 overtime win.

Looking forward

Rockford will once again face the rigors of a three-in-three this week, their third of the season, starting with a Friday game on the road against the Grand Rapids Griffins. The ‘Hogs turn around on Saturday to play host to the Charlotte Checkers before ending the weekend with a 4:00 game against the Ontario Reign.

NHL

Blackhawks successful run an encouraging surprise By Adam Hess Contributor

ne of the hallmarks of hockey is its tendency to be unpredictable. Oftentimes, even the best, most connected hockey writers and analysts cannot even accurately predict the way things will go down throughout the NHL season. Prior to the start of this season, many Blackhawks fans and writers alike looked at them as a team that needed to take this year to reload if they were ever going to get back to the dominant level of hockey they had been at over the past several seasons. As the year started, that assessment looked to be an accurate one. The Blackhawks were trounced 5-2 by the St. Louis Blues on opening night, and started the year below .500 with a 3-3-1 record through their first seven games. Their penalty kill was abysmal, and some of their top players were not contributing on the score sheet. Just two weeks ago, I used this space to discuss how Artem Anisimov’s early success was so encouraging because of how bad so many other forwards had been. What a difference two weeks can make. The Blackhawks have won their last six games over the past two weeks, launching them from the middle of the pack to the top team in the Western Conference. They

also have grabbed all twelve of the available points in those games, which could prove to be extremely important later on the season. As I wrote last week, while it is still too early to think about the playoff picture, it’s not wrong to think about the way points early in the season can impact that playoff picture later in the year. The way the Blackhawks have done this has been extremely encouraging as well. Joel Quenneville was unafraid to reach for his proverbial “panic button” early on in the year by combining Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on the top line, and this has reinvigorated Toews’ game. After posting just three points in the Hawks’ first eight games, Toews has posted four goals and three assists in the last five contests, with goals in three straight. They’ve also adjusted their penalty killing strategy, turning their aggressiveness up and pressuring the puck carriers more in an effort to force the opposition to make a play. They saw a lot of success with this new strategy, killing off 15 straight penalties until finally having that streak broken against Dallas on Sunday. Again, these adjustments and developments are still coming in the very early part of the season, so fans should be careful about getting to excited about

the Blackhawks recent stretch. But with them finding remedies to early woes, and finding consistent success as a result, it’s encouraging to see the Men of Four Feath-

ers playing so well. Hopefully this success will carry on throughout the rest of the year and into the playoffs. Follow Adam on Twitter: @_adamhess.

WAIT ‘TIL NEXT YEAR By Cat Garcia

By Nate Johnson

That evening, Chicago began the celebration 108-years in the making as overjoyed Cubs fans and sports fans alike began taking in a historic event that, for a just a few days, sent the city of Chicago on a vacation from anything but basking in the joy of their historic moment. Cubs fans have waited for this celebration for a longtime, so it was only fitting that it came not only in a seven game victory over another team in search of ending their championship drought, but that it come cloaked in heart pounding moments of victory and nearly-crushing obstacles all the way until the final out.

ow is it so hard to put together what to say after 108 years of heartbreak and pain being washed away, in a “next year” that, for too many generations, never did come? You would think that after all this time, the words would pour out, but they don’t. You stare at your paper, your monitor, your phone, trying to make your words real before they disappear off the page. The words aren’t disappearing, though. They’re right there in black and white, as real as the Commissioner’s Trophy that got passed around the team bus during the parade to celebrate the Chicago Cubs defeating the Cleveland Indians in seven games to win the 2016 World Series. It wasn’t easy to get to that parade, but it never has been with this team. As the Cubs went down 3 games to 1 after a Saturday night loss in Cleveland, it was easy to assume the worst as always. When the seemingly solid lead in the final game was lost before a curiously-timed rain, it felt like another case of coming up short. But this was different.
