Former state Sen. Pat Welch found safe

Welch, now 70 years old and with dementia, disappeared Monday By Tom Collins

NEWSTRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER

Former state Sen. Patrick Welch has been located safe in Chicago after a missing-person report was issued Monday by the Orland Park Police Department. Welch, now 70, was listed as having dementia in a police posting issued around 3 p.m. Monday. At that time, police reported Welch last was seen that morning on foot in the 14000 block of 95th Avenue.

However, shortly before 9 a.m. today the department reported Welch had been located at an unspecified location in Chicago. “Patrick has been located in Chicago and is doing Welch well,” police said on the department’s

Facebook page. “We at the Orland Park Police Department thank all the people that shared this post and the concern shown for one of our residents.” Welch, a longtime Peru Democrat, served 22 years in the Illinois General Assembly representing a sprawling (eight counties at his last election) district that included most of the Illinois Valley area. The Chicago native had cut his political teeth campaigning for Bobby Kennedy in 1968 and then

became active in the Democratic Party after graduating from law school and passing the bar in 1974. Eight years later, he ran for Illinois Senate and upset Republican incumbent Betty Hoxsey. He won six of his next re-election bids, often by tight margins. He squeaked out four of his first six wins by 3,500 votes or fewer. In 1994, Welch was ousted by Granville businessman Gary Dahl. Welch then took a post with the Illinois Department of

Revenue, from which he retired. The Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission shows Welch retired from law in 2011. Welch had kept a low profile in recent years and showed signs of memory loss when he appeared in public. The missing-person report marked the first time his dementia was publicly disclosed.

Residents displaced by DePue blaze

Searchers look for 9 missing By Stefanie Dazio

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Divers and search crews were still looking Tuesday for nine missing people after at least 25 were confirmed dead when a boat packed with scuba divers caught fire near an island off the Southern California coast. The dive-boat Conception became engulfed in flames before dawn as the passengers on a recreational scuba diving trip slept below deck. “You couldn’t ask for a worse situation,” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters. Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Kroll said late Monday night at least 25 people died. He said 20 bodies were recovered and five others were found but not retrieved due to unsafe conditions under the boat, which sank in about 60 feet of water. Kroll said the count of those found was based on initial reports and needed to be confirmed through autopsies. The search for the missing went through the night and fog and low clouds on Tuesday were not expected to limit the search crews in their efforts, said Santa Barbara City Fire Department spokeswoman Amber Anderson Five crew members sleeping on the top deck jumped off and took a dinghy to safety. Two had minor injuries. A sixth crew member was among the missing Meanwhile, authorities opened a family assistance center where counseling was being provided to relatives of those onboard. None of their names were immediately released. The missing and dead were among 39 passengers and crew who had departed Santa Barbara Harbor on Saturday aboard the boat for a Labor Day weekend See BOAT Page A2

A Peru firefighter in the department’s aerial tower points to a hot spot inside a two-story brick structure at 1118 Marquette St. in DePue that caught fire Monday afternoon. Numerous fire departments responded to help DePue firefighters put out the Labor Day blaze. The Peru unit sprayed water inside the building to extinguish hot spots.

Firefighter injured in Labor Day fire By Brent Bader SHAW MEDIA

DEPUE — Residents of two apartments were displaced, and a firefighter received an injury, in a fire reported to Bureau County Sheriff’s deputies at 1:10 p.m. Monday at 1118 Marquette St., DePue. Michael Blanford and his girlfriend were watching TV on the top floor of the apartment building when the room began to fill with smoke. Originally, Blanford said he thought it was a toaster they had left on but when that wasn’t the source, they investigated downstairs.

“I ran to see if it was from downstairs and I look in through the kitchen window and I can see the stove and everything is completely on fire and started on the ceiling already,” Blanford said. “I ran upstairs, told my girlfriend to get out of the house and the whole upstairs was filled with smoke.” His girlfriend, Rachel Loney, exit the apartment, and they grabbed their two dogs, Goliath and Doobie, before he ran to a neighbor’s house to call 911. All residents had exited the building and no injuries were reported to the residents, said Spring Valley Fire Chief Todd Bogatitus. The chief said he believes some cats did not escape the fire. Bogatitus said fire and smoke were showing from both floors

Deadline hurricane parks itself over the Bahamas By Ramon Espinoza, Danica Coto and Michael Weissenstein ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

FREEPORT, Bahamas (AP) — Practically parking itself over the Bahamas for over a day and a half, Hurricane Dorian pounded away at the islands Tuesday in a watery onslaught that devastated thousands of homes, trapped people in attics and chased others from one shelter to another. At least five deaths were reported. The United Nations and the International Red Cross began

when firefighters arrived, and they immediately made entry into the building, where they encountered a heavy fire on the first floor. Firefighters also made an aggressive attack on the second story, and knocked down most of the fire inside the upstairs apartment, as well. Soon, however, Bogatitus decided to pull the firefighters out of the building. It was an older structure, and fire continued to move through the voids in the walls, as well as between the floor on the second story and the ceiling of the first.

One Spring Valley firefighter received an arm injury when the east wall of the building suddenly collapsed, and “bricks and mortar shot throughout the area,” said Bogatitus, who served as incident commander. The firefighter was taken to St. Margaret’s Hospital, Spring Valley, and was treated and released. Bogatitus did not elaborate on the injury. The collapse of the wall exposed more of the structure to be doused with water from the exterior. Previously, the departments had allowed the fire to burn through the roof, giving Peru’s tower truck the ability to drown much of the fire from above.

Prime Minister Hubert Minnis called it “a historic tragedy.” The storm’s relentless winds and rain battered the islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama, which have a combined population of about 70,000.

trip. The fire broke out at 3 a.m. as the Conception was anchored off Santa Cruz Island, about 90 miles west of Los Angeles. Capt. Paul Amaral of the vessel assistance company TowBoatUS also launched a fast boat from Ventura Harbor, but it was some 30 miles away. Amaral said he first searched the water and shoreline, then turned back to the Conception, which was adrift. He attached a line and pulled it into deeper water so the fireboats could reach it. “We launched that boat knowing that the vessel was on fire, lots of people aboard,” he said.

an attic of a home on the other side of town Monday while the apartment fire had attracted firefighters from throughout the region — Bogatitus counted 19 or 21 at one point. Fire chiefs huddled and determined which three engine companies and two water tenders to send to the attic fire. Princeton Fire Department also responded. Bogatitus said the firefighters made a quick attack on the attic fire, but residents of that residence also have been displaced. Firefighters were able to return from the attic fire to the apartment fire in about 90 minutes. The 10-33 Ambulance personnel were on scene and water bottles were being distributed to displaced residents and firefighters battling the blaze. Later, 10/33 Ambulance called for a box alarm for more ambulances from throughout the area to assist with firefighter rehab and to remain on standby in case of injury. The American Red Cross was contacted to assist the residents of both the upstairs and downstairs apartments, as well as the residents of the structure that had the attic fire. Bogatitus said several local businesses, such as Casey’s, delivered water and food for the firefighters and residents, as did Hy-Vee. Bureau County Sheriff’s Office said Arlington Fire Department, Cherry Fire Department, Ladd Fire Department, Bureau Fire Department, LaMoille Fire Department, Malden Fire Department, Princeton Fire Department, Seatonville Fire Department Tiskilwa Fire Department, Wyanet Fire Department, Granville Fire Department, Standard Fire Department, Hennepin Fire Department and Peru Fire Department also responded. The cause of the fire remained under investigation. Firefighters remained at the apartment building until about 6:30 p.m.

State approves U of I innovation center CHICAGO (AP) — State education regulators have granted the University of Illinois permission to operate its new research and innovation center in downtown Chicago for the next ﬁve years. The Discovery Partners Institute is designed to bring together students and researchers to tackle big societal challenges and promote innovation and entrepreneurship, in partnership with industry, government and other sectors, the (Champaign) News-Gazette reported. The Illinois Board of Higher Education last week approved the institute’s launch. The university can now begin the process of hiring faculty. Illinois has committed $500 million toward the construction of the institute and other university facilities, contingent on matching private sector

that Dorian devastated the health infrastructure in Grand Bahama island and that severe flooding rendered the main hospital unusable. He said he hoped to send an advanced medical soon to the Abaco islands. “We will confirm what the real situation is on the ground,” he said. “We are hoping and praying that the loss of life is limited.” Red Cross spokesman Matthew Cochrane said more than 13,000 houses, or about 45 percent of the homes in Grand Bahama and Abaco, were believed to have been severely damaged or destroyed. U.N. officials said more than 60,000 people on the hard-hit islands will need food, and the Red Cross said some 62,000 will need clean drinking water. The Red Cross authorized a half-million dollars to fund the first wave of response, Cochrane said. “What we are hearing lends credence to the fact that this has been a catastrophic storm and a catastrophic impact,” he said. Sands said the main

funds. Gov. J.B. Pritzker hasn’t provided a timeline for releasing that money. The university said it has secured about $400 million in “non-state dollars” toward that goal. The institute is already operating at a temporary space in downtown Chicago. An architectural ﬁrm is creating preliminary designs for the new facility in the South Loop. A rendering of the proposed building shows a multilevel structure held up by stilts, surrounded by a pond and trees. It’s a “big step,” University of Illinois President Tim Killeen said of the decision. The goal is to serve 2,000 students by 2024, according to the proposal approved by the state board. The institute’s leaders will evaluate its effectiveness over the next ﬁve years through metrics.

hospital in Marsh Harbor was intact and sheltering 400 people but in need of food, water, medicine and surgical supplies. He said crews were trying to airlift ﬁve to seven kidney failure patients from Abaco who had not received dialysis since Friday. As of daybreak, Dorian’s winds had dipped to 120 mph, making it a still highly dangerous Category 3 hurricane, and the storm was barely moving at 1 mph, with part of its eyewall hanging over Grand Bahama Island since Sunday night. The storm was centered 40 miles northeast of Freeport and 110 miles northeast of West Palm Beach, Florida. Hurricane-force winds extended out as far as 45 miles in some directions. Dorian was expected to approach the Florida coast later Tuesday, but the threat to the state eased signiﬁcantly, with the National Hurricane Center’s projected track showing most of the coast just outside the cone of potential landfall. No place in Florida had more than an 8% chance of getting hit by hurricane-force winds.

Jim Senica from Senica Interstate Towing said firefighters arrived to find the trailer on fire while the driver was in his sleeper bunk with the rig parked on the southbound ramp to the Streator/Lostant exit. “Firefighters woke the driver up and assisted him disconnecting the tractor from the trailer,” according to a Lostant Fire Department report. “The trailer was hauling 36,000 pounds of cheese.” The trailer and its contents were destroyed and the tractor had some damage.” Senica said tow trucks were used to lift and move the burning boxes of bagged, shredded cheese as well as trailer wreckage and debris to help the firefighters get access to the fire to put it out. Senica said he did not think the cheese was melting all over the highway, but didn’t SUBMITTED PHOTO think any of it could be salvaged, Lostant firefighters work to put out a semitrailer fire near the Streator/Lostant exit on Interstate 39 early Saturday. either.

Labor Day had conservation police scrambling Parking places fill up, park closes, jet-ski injury and vandalism investigated By Craig Sterrett NEWSTRIBUNE

It was a busy Labor Day weekend for outdoors activities and also for Illinois Conservation Police, who investigated a jetski accident on the Illinois River as well as a report of vandalism on the historic and protected Council Overhang in Starved Rock State Park. “The park is packed,” said Conservation Police Sgt. Phil Wire on Labor Day afternoon. The Matthiessen Dells entrance closed at 12:30 p.m. on Labor Day as park and parking reached capacity, and the state closed the west entrance to Starved Rock State Park at 1 p.m. Starved Rock and Matthiessen reopened as crowds subsided at 3 p.m. on Labor Day Wire said his officers responded to a jet-ski accident with injuries that are likely to require surgery. The driver was thrown upward and came down

to land on jet-ski in the accident near Ottawa, he said. The area police commander noted that wardens were spread thin this weekend, opening day for early goose season plus doves, so he was not aware of how many tickets were written for people entering restricted areas. Conservation Police are investigating vandalism at council overhang. An intern for the Conservation Police found a photo on Instagram that show ed two people, one or both of whom, may have drawn on the Council Overhang, which has been recognized as a historic gathering place for Native Americans. DNR police will investigate further.

4-H Shooting Sports instructors needed Register by Sept. 23 for fee waiver PRINCETON — The fall training session for adults interested in joining the Illinois 4-H Shooting Sports program as a volunteer leader will be 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Oct. 19 at 4-H Memorial Camp, Monticello, Illinois. Adult volunteers are an important part of the Illinois

4-H Shooting Sports program, according to the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension office. All 4-H shooting sports clubs must be led by adults who have completed the training and passed the certification test. “After the training, our 4-H volunteers understand their role in mentoring youth to become self-directed, confident members of their community,” said Curt Sinclair, 4-H Shooting Sports

and Environmental Education Extension Specialist. “Yes, they’ll also teach the fundamentals of safe shooting, but their bigger role will be helping youth feel welcomed, empowered and successful; generous in spirit; and thoughtful of their fellow club members and the communities where they live.” Instructors are needed in Bureau County in archery, rifle and pistol, as well as

coordinator positions. University of Illinois Extension will cover the cost of registration for two individuals registered by Sept. 27. Anyone interested in volunteering for a 4-H Shooting Sports, is asked to contact the extension office at (815)8752878 or des85@illinois.edu for more information. If you need a reasonable accommodation, please indicate when registering.

Declare Tech firms struggle to police ‘Jesse White Day’ in Illinois content while avoiding bias By Marcy Gordon

AP BUSINESS WRITER

WASHINGTON (AP) — Take the post down. Put it back up. Stop policing speech. Start silencing extremists. That’s just a sampling of the intense, often contradictory demands facing tech companies and their social media platforms as they try to oversee internet content without infringing on First Amendment rights. The pendulum has swung recently toward restricting hateful speech that could spawn violence, following a mass shooting in Texas where the suspect had posted a racist screed online. For Facebook, Google, Twitter and others, it’s a nowin whipsaw, amplified by a drumbeat of accusations from President Donald Trump and his allies that their platforms are steeped in anti-conservative bias. With lawmakers and regulators in Washington poring over their business practices, the tech companies are anxious to avoid missteps - but finding criticism at every turn. “There’s a thin line between disgusting and offensive speech, and political speech you just don’t like. People are blurring the lines,” says Jerry Ellig, a professor at George Washington University’s Regulatory Studies Center who was a policy official at the Federal Trade Commission. Companies operating social media platforms have long enjoyed broad legal immunity for posted content. Under the 1996 Communications Decency Act, they have a legal shield for both for content they carry and for removing postings they deem offensive. Be it social media posts, uploaded videos, user reviews of restaurants or doctors, or classified ads — the shelter from lawsuits and prosecution has been a tent pole of social networking, and undoubtedly contributed to its growth. But in the current climate of hostility toward Big Tech, that legal protection is getting a second look. Legislation proposed last spring by Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, an outspoken conservative critic, would require the companies to prove to regulators that they’re not using political bias to filter content. Failing to secure a bias-free audit from the government would mean a social media platform loses its immunity from legal action. It remains to be seen whether such a system could pass muster under the First Amendment. Hawley’s legislation drew pushback from Michael Beckerman, who heads the major trade group Internet Association. He said it forces the platforms “to make an impossible choice: either host reprehensible, but First Amendment-protected speech, or lose legal protections that allow them to moderate illegal content like human trafficking and violent extremism. That shouldn’t be a tradeoff.” The bias issue has dogged Silicon Valley for years, though there’s been no credible evidence that political leanings factor into Google’s search algorithms or what users see on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.

track record of serving with honor and competence. In fact, he has accomplished more in terms of public service than most people could hope to accomplish in five lifetimes. White served in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division, and later in the Illinois National Guard and Reserve. He was a third baseman in the Cubs’ farm system who [ https://www. baseball-reference.com/register/ player.fcgi?id=white-001jes ] played two seasons of Triple-A ball in Salt Lake City and learned from the great Ernie Banks. In 1959, White founded the internationally acclaimed Jesse White Tumbling Team to provide a positive outlet for children living in public housing in the Chicago area. The tumblers still perform today, with more than 200 young people set to make more than 1,500 performances this year. Before he was a public servant, White was a student at Alabama State College in Montgomery in the 1950s, where he experienced racial discrimination in the Jim Crow South. While there, he attended a church where Martin Luther King Jr. was pastor, and participated in the Montgomery Bus Boycott organized by King and

Rosa Parks. White has said it was King who inspired him to enter public service and help people. Rather than be turned off by racial injustice, White worked to make America better. He eventually spent 16 years in the Illinois General Assembly, followed by eight as the Cook County Recorder of Deeds before his record-breaking run as head of Illinois’ largest government agency. There are few politicians with a biography as inspiring as Jesse White, who has taken Illinois from the nadir of Operation Safe Road to truly providing safe roads for citizens. We are calling on the Illinois House, Senate and Gov. JB Prtizker to declare a statewide “Jesse White Day.” The Honorable Jesse White is truly an Illinois treasure, and the time is right to recognize his re-markable service to our State. All Illinoisans, and particularly younger ones, should appreciate the value of White’s lifelong service and leadership. The recognition will not only spotlight an exemplary individual – it might inspire others to follow in his footsteps, as King’s leadership inspired White himself. (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle

Why don’t ‘20 Dem also-rans quit the race? So far, four Democratic presidential candidates — Eric Swalwell, John Hickenlooper, Seth Moulton and Jay Inslee — have dropped out of the 2020 race. What is amazing is that the number is only four, and that 21 Democrats are still running. Byron York Of the 21 NEWSPAPER still in the ENTERPRISE race, 14 are ASSOCIATION polling below 2.0 percent in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls. Andrew Yang is at 1.8 percent; Tulsi Gabbard is at 1.4 percent; Julian Castro, 1.4 percent; Amy Klobuchar, 1.2 percent; Tom Steyer, 0.8 percent; Steve Bullock, 0.8 percent; Marianne Williamson, 0.8 percent; Kirsten Gillibrand, 0.6 percent; John Delaney, 0.6 percent; Tim Ryan, 0.6 percent; Bill de Blasio, 0.4 percent; Joe Sestak, 0.3 percent; and Michael Bennet and Wayne Messam are somewhere below that. Why are they still in the race? Each has his or her reasons, but perhaps some are cherishing the hope, however far-fetched, that they might become the next Mike Huckabee or Rick Santorum. Looking at the five competitive primary races of the last dozen years — Democrats in 2008 and 2016 and Republicans in 2008, 2012 and 2016 — only two candidates have come out of nowhere to lead the race.

The warnings for today’s front-runner, Joe Biden, are obvious. On the Republican side in the 2008 race, in late August 2007, the leader was Rudy Giuliani, who held a 10-point advantage over Fred Thompson, 27.7 percent to 17.0 percent. Giuliani’s lead lasted until January 2008, after which he fell steadily. It’s another obvious warning for Biden. But what about the rest of today’s Democratic field — not the cellar-dwellers, but the ones who might have a real chance? There are lessons for them, too, especially in the 2012 Republican race. Like today’s race, it was fairly stable, with Romney in the lead, until August 2011. Then it all broke loose. First, Rick Perry took the lead. Then Romney took it back. Then Herman Cain surged into first place. Then Romney rose again, briefly. Then Newt Gingrich took the lead. Then Romney again. Then Gingrich again. Then Romney again. Then Santorum. And finally, Romney. Everybody had a chance, or at least thought he had a chance, at some point in the race. So there are reasons why today’s Democratic field remains so large. The candidates in the top tiers are quite reasonably expecting some sort of re-sorting in coming months. And the candidates at the very bottom are looking to improve their lot before the inevitable surrender. It could take quite a while before many are convinced to give up.

A couple of paces later, the older woman stops and turns to look at the retreating woman’s firm backside in its form-fitting tracksuit. “Angela? Is that you?” The older woman asks, uncertain. The younger woman turns. “Oh, hi, Sandy. Sorry, I didn’t see you.” “I didn’t recognize YOU!” Sandy replies, disbelieving, as she looks Angela up and down. “You look great! What have you done to yourself?” Angela preens, shaking her hair back and smirking. “Thanks, you’re a doll.” “Seriously.” Sandy persists, “You’re the same age as I am, but you look 15 years younger. What have you done?” “I’m trying to live clean.” Angela explains with a pious expression. “I’ve taken up yoga and meditation; I’m eating whole foods and natural grains …” “Cut the crap.” Sandy interrupts. “I saw you 6 months ago and you looked as old and flabby as I do. There’s no way a couple weeks of eating quinoa causes THIS much change.” Angela’s smooth face momentarily creases into an expression of annoyance, although her forehead doesn’t move. Then she shrugs and says, “If you must know, I just came back from a Rejuvacation™.” “Rejuvacation™?

Angela’s unnaturally plump, red lips curve into a condescending smile. “I know what you’re thinking. But really, what’s stopping any of us from looking our best?” Sandy shrugs. “We’d rather eat Little Debbie Snack Cakes than go to the gym?” “Lack of will-power, fear of the pain of surgery, lack of time to heal,” Angela ticks off the reasons on her impeccably manicured fingers “and the countless distractions and obligations of our daily lives.

And I hope someday some smart person can figure out a way to get rid of those glasses,” says Lee, chuckling. “What we’ve done here is a new baseline for digital cinema, I believe.” Heller (“The Diary of a Teenage Girl,” ‘‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?“) is more focused on the communal aspect of moviegoing, something that could be quite powerful for ”A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” Heller is quick to caution that her film, based on Tom Junod’s 1998 Esquire article, isn’t a traditional biopic but dramatizes the relationship between Rogers and a skeptical visiting journalist (Matthew Rhys), who functions as a kind of stand-in for cynics everywhere. “At its best, it’s a collective human experience we get to have in making these movies and a collective human experience we get to have seeing these movies in theaters,” says Heller, who shot the film, with her young family in tow, around Rogers’ hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That included filming at Fred Rogers Studio, where “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” was shot. Just as last year’s hit documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” ($22.8 million in ticket sales) proved, audiences are eager to reconnect with kindhearted altruism of Fred Rogers. “There’s a reason that everybody feels so connected to him right now,” says Heller. “I don’t know, some collective consciousness thing where we all want Mr. Rogers in our life right now — myself included.”

There are many other freshly original films on tap, too, including the Donna Tartt adaptation “The Goldfinch” (Sept. 13), the stripper revenge tale “Hustlers” (Sept. 13), Steven Soderbergh’s Panama Papers satire “The Laundromat” (Sept. 27), Robert Eggers’ mad monochrome tale of 1890 lighthouse keepers “The Lighthouse” (Oct. 18), the Lena Waithe-penned black outlaw drama “Queen and Slim” (Nov. 27), Noah Baumbach’s divorce chronicle “Marriage Story” (Nov. 6), Kasi Lemmons’ Harriet Tubman biopic “Harriet,” Edward Norton’s Jonathan Lethem adaptation “Motherless Brooklyn” (Nov. 1) and “Parasite” (Oct. 11), Bong Joon Ho’s Palme d’Or-winning class satire. The most affection ode to moviegoing might come, ironically enough, from Netflix. “Dolemite Is My Name” (Oct. 4) stars Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore during the making of the 1975 Blaxploitation classic “Dolemite.” A handful of filmmakers will also, for a moment at least, be stepping off the franchise treadmill. In “Jojo Rabbit” (Oct. 18), Taika Waititi will break from “Thor” installments for a madcap Nazi satire in which he, himself, co-stars as Adolf Hitler. In “Knives Out” (Nov. 27), Rian Johnson’s follow-up to “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” the writer-director crafts an elaborate Agatha Christie-inspired whodunit. “It wasn’t a break in the sense of ‘Oh God, I’ve got to get out this Star Wars machine.’ It was See FILMS Page A8

The places it’ll go: Dr. Seuss exhibition hitting the road By Mark Pratt

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

BOSTON (AP) — Dr. Seuss is hitting the road this fall with a large interactive exhibit that will immerse visitors in some of the most iconic books by the beloved children’s writer. The exhibit is centered on a maze based on “Oh, the Places You’ll Go,” the Dr. Seuss book that urges children to explore the world and move mountains despite the pitfalls and challenges. Children and adults will be able to explore rooms based on “The Cat in the Hat,” ‘‘The Lorax,“

‘‘Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?” and other works. The 15,000-square-foot exhibition is scheduled to open in Toronto in October. There are plans to take it to Boston, Seattle, Houston and several other North American cities. “I wanted to explore the books and bring the characters to life in a new and engaging way,” said Susan Brandt, president of San Diego-based Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company founded by Audrey Geisel, the late widow of Theodor Seuss Geisel, who under the pen name Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated

dozens of children’s books. Because the exhibit is based on Geisel’s children’s books, there are no references to his earlier and more controversial political cartoons. The maze inspired by “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” features thousands of suspended balloons. Visitors entering “The Lorax” room can wander through a forest of truffula trees. The “If I Ran the Circus” room features a working carousel, while “Horton Hears a Who!” consists of a field of waist-high pink clover. The exhibit is a partnership between Dr. Seuss Enterprises

and Kilburn Live, a division of Los Angeles-based entertainment company Kilburn Media. The Dr. Seuss Experience, more than two years in the making, is unlike anything the company has ever been involved in before, and that’s what attracted Kilburn to the project. The exhibit is not just about promoting literacy but about the pro-social messages in Dr. Seuss books, Kilburn founder and CEO Mark Manuel said. “The Lorax” teaches environmental stewardship, while “The Sneetches and Other Stories” teaches tolerance and individuality, he said.

In fashion, it’s replaced black as the new dress-up color. And it’s riding a wave of popularity into home decor, too. What’s the buzz about? The color blue. And while all blues, from baby to sky, are popular, it’s the deep, inky ones that are exciting home decorators. “Navy is one shade with so many ways to implement it, from accessories to large-scale furniture,” says Nina Magon of Contour Interior Design in Houston. “It can work within traditional or modern design aesthetics. It’s a favorite of mine, because it evokes a serene and calming emotion while also evoking a sense of luxury and opulence.” Dark blues have become popular in the kitchen, too.

“We’re definitely seeing an increase in deep, moody blues,” says Houzz. com editor Mitchell Parker. “It’s usually used on an island or base cabinets with white uppers for a two-tone look, but the most popular kitchen photo uploaded to the Houzz site in the past three months featured allblue cabinets. It’s a safe but strong color that pairs nicely with satin brass ﬁnishes, which are also having a moment right now.” Benjamin Moore’s color marketing director, Andrea Magno, says deep blues complement many styles or design goals, “modern to nautical, or sophisticated and mysterious. “Homeowners have more access to design ideas than ever, triggering greater conﬁdence levels when it comes to selecting color — especially darker colors, which used to be

Co-worker should keep thoughts to himself Dear Harriette: I was working on an intense project recently, and after a while, everybody got pretty testy, mainly because of the long hours and the lack of sleep or SENSE & breaks. SENSITIVITY One of the Harriette Cole members UNIVERSAL of the UCLICK team, who has worked on this job for many years, has a short fuse; he started grumbling about the work conditions. He was pretty harmless — mostly just letting off steam — but it got back to the big boss, who was very upset. My co-worker apologized, but he continued to grumble about things in private while we were still at the work site. He didn’t seem to understand that he should keep his thoughts to himself until he was safely away from the job. How can I impress that upon him? He’s a nice guy and a hard worker, but I fear he will lose his job if he keeps this up. — Shut Your Mouth Dear Shut Your Mouth: I worked on a project once with a high-level businessman, Earl G. Graves, founder of Black Enterprise. I was a young professional, and he entrusted me with supporting him on an important project. One day after a productive meeting, we were in an elevator leaving the building when I began to talk about how great I thought the meeting went. Immediately, he turned to me and said, “Wait until we clear the building.” When we got outside, he told me that you should never debrief in any way, including to say nice things, until you are completely off-site and out of earshot of your client. I never forgot that. Tell your friend that if he wants to be successful, he must learn to be mum when silence is called for. Dear Harriette: I met a guy at a social work function and, after talking to him for a while, realized that we have a couple of mutual friends. One of them is the best friend of my ex-husband. We broke up more than 30 years ago, but it was not a good breakup, and I was not nice. I didn’t know what to say to my colleague when we parted ways. I gave him the briefest heads up, telling him that I knew his friend because he was friends with my ex, and we had a bad breakup. I indicated that I told him so he wouldn’t be caught off guard in case it came up. I knew he was going to call his friend to say we met and how much fun we had together at this event. This man’s last interaction with me was about my ex, and it wasn’t positive. Did I do the right thing? — Managing Expectations Dear Managing Expectations: What you did was fine, in that you made sure the man wouldn’t find himself flat-footed if your name did come up in a bad light. It also could have been fine for you to say nothing. Your ex’s best friend likely has fewer memories of your past than you do. It could have been a nonissue entirely if you hadn’t mentioned that part of the past.

Brissett named Colts starter

Lady Cavs don’t drop a set in tournament

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts sorted out their quarterback situation Monday. Jacoby Brissett will be the starter for the foreseeable future and Brian Hoyer will become Brissett’s backup. A little more than a week after Andrew Luck’s abrupt retirement upended Indy’s long-term plans, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Brissett had signed a contract extension. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Details were not immediately available, though NFL Network first reported it was a two-year deal worth $30 million with $20 million guaranteed. Brissett’s deal came just hours after the Colts announced Hoyer, a longtime backup in the league, would join the team as the new No. 2 on the depth chart. ESPN reported the deal was for three years and $12 million.

Ward hired as Jets offensive assistant FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets hired former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward as a full-time offensive assistant. Ward worked with the Jets during the summer as a coaching intern and impressed coach Adam Gase and his staff. Wide receiver Robby Anderson praised Ward during camp for helping him try to find ways to improve his game this season. Jets general manager Joe Douglas had been interested in having Ward join the Eagles’ staff and reached out to the former wide receiver when he was hired by the Jets in June. Ward will work closely again with wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson.

Coleman eligible to race in Olympics Top sprinter Christian Coleman will be eligible for this month’s world championships and next year’s Olympics after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency dropped his case for missed tests because of a technicality. Coleman is the reigning U.S. champion and a favorite in the 100 meters, a distance at which he holds the world-leading time over the past three years. The worlds begin Sept. 28 in Qatar, where Coleman will be looking to add to the silver medal he won in 2017. In that race, he finished a spot ahead of Usain Bolt, who was running in his last 100.

Former Lady Cavs meet on other side of net

There were plenty of NCAA Division I volleyball players staring at opponents through the net Friday and Saturday during the Golden Dome Invitational at University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. Notre Dame, Bowling Green State University, Wright State A SPORTING University and La Salle CHANCE University battled each Brandon other in the first tournaLaChance ment of the NEWSTRIBUNE season for SPORTS WRITER all competitors. However, for Wright State and La Salle, there were two sets of eyes looking at a player they had saw on the same side of the court before — not through the net. Taylor Gibson, a 2016 La Salle-Peru graduate, and 2019 L-P alumna Marisa Guisti had spent one year together as Lady Cavaliers. On Saturday, they checked off playing a high school teammate on the collegiate stage, as Gibson helped Wright State defeat Guisti and La Salle 22-25, 25-19, 25-22, 34-32. “It was really cool. She was like my little sister when I was at L-P, so it was cool to see her grow and to see her playing volleyball at the

college level,” said Gibson, who had eight kills, a block and an ace against La Salle. “It made me feel good about myself to see her go so far and start as a freshman. I did hate it a little bit because I didn’t like being rivals. Honestly, I didn’t play any harder than I wanted to play already. During the match I was like, ‘I love her but I don’t like her right now’ because she was on the other side of the net.” Opposing Gibson, Guisti was playing with extra aggression. It could have been because of the size of the arena or it could be because Gibson was playing against her. Guisti finished with 10 kills, three blocks and an ace against Gibson and Wright State. “It definitely made me more aggressive,” said Guisti, who is still adjusting to life in Philadelphia. “As a freshman I’m going to be more nervous than Taylor because she is a senior and she is going into her fourth year of NCAA volleyball. I was really nervous playing in a huge gym with a ton of people there. “Seeing Taylor on the other side of the net made me more aggressive. I wanted to beat her because she was a former teammate and it makes it more fun. During the second set, we were both playing front row and we looked at each other across the net and laughed. After the game, both of our families were talking to each other and we got a picture. It was nice seeing her because I am so far from home. It was nice to see Taylor, my family and the huge support system that was there from the Illinois Valley.” Although Gibson and Guisti

Guisti was unsure of the workouts and practices she was going to have to do and moving to Philadelphia from the Illinois Valley concerned her a little. So, why not talk to Gibson

who has been in Dayton, Ohio for three years and has been through all of the workouts. “During the summer Taylor and I were starting to workout for the season and both of us went back to L-P to play with (Lady Cavs coach Mark) Haberkorn and the team,” Guisti said. “It was late summer when we found out we were going to be playing See LACHANCE Page B2

TENNIS: U.S. OPEN

2018 champ Osaka loses to Bencic, Nadal into quarterfinals By Howard Fendrich AP TENNIS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — Naomi Osaka’s achy left knee didn’t let her serve without pain, so she didn’t practice that key part of her game leading into the U.S. Open. The knee also prevented her from covering the court and preparing for shots the way she’d like. Those weren’t the only reasons that the No. 1-seeded Osaka’s 10match winning streak at the U.S. Open and title defense ended Monday in the fourth round. Belinda Bencic’s clean, crisp strokes, struck with the ball still on the rise, contributed plenty to the outcome, too. Osaka joined 2018 men’s champion Novak Djokovic on the sideline before the quarterfinals, exiting with a 7-5, 6-4 loss to the 13th-seeded Bencic under a closed roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium on a rainy afternoon. Djokovic stopped playing in his fourth-rounder Sunday night because of a problematic left shoulder. “I honestly didn’t move well today. You know what I mean? I felt like I was always flat-footed. ... The knee was a little bit annoying in the movement aspect,” Osaka said. “But I think that that’s something I should have overcome.” As for her powerful serve, Osaka called it “inconsistent,” saying she hadn’t been working on it coming into the year’s last Grand Slam tournament “because I can’t really land on my leg that great.”

Belinda Bencic (right), of Switzerland, shakes Naomi Osaka’s hand after defeating Osaka 7-5, 6-4 during the fourth round of the U.S. Open Monday in New York. Osaka was the 2018 US Open champion. Osaka has been wearing a black sleeve on the knee and was given a pain-killing pill by a trainer midway through the second set Monday. By then, Bencic was up a set and a break, employing a quickstrike style of taking balls early and snapping them back, rushing Osaka and not leaving her not enough time to respond. It

worked before: Bencic is now 3-0 against Osaka in 2019. “I don’t have the biggest power. Don’t have the most winners or most aces. But I think I can really read the opponent’s game well,” said Bencic, who will face No. 23 Donna Vekic of Croatia in the quarterfinals. “I definitely try to do that against anyone, not only against her.”

Bencic finished with far more winners, 29, than unforced errors, 12, and showed once again that she is a big-match player. She owns a tour-leading nine victories over top-10 opponents in 2019 and is 4-1 for her career against top-ranked players. Bencic is 22, just a year older than Osaka, but her progress was slowed in recent years by injuries,

including wrist surgery. Back in 2014, when she was 17, Bencic became the youngest woman into the U.S. Open quarterfinals since 1997, when another Swiss woman, Martina Hingis, took the title. Hingis’ mother, Melanie Molitor, used to coach Bencic, and five-time major champion Hingis herself has served as a mentor. Bencic said she likes to emulate the way Hingis used to play, always thinking a move or two — or more — ahead. “With Melanie, we didn’t try to copy Martina’s game. We tried to make my own game. And obviously, I know there are similarities, because that’s the way Melanie teaches, but it was about making my own strengths and my own game style,” Bencic said. “I play, of course, a little bit different than Martina. I think she was even more skilled and smarter on the court and playing more chess. I think I have a little bit less maybe talent and touch than her, but maybe a little bit more power.” In men’s action, No. 2 Rafael Nadal’s bid for a fourth U.S. Open trophy and 19th Slam title in all progressed via a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over 2014 champion Marin Cilic at night in front of an appreciative Ashe crowd that included Tiger Woods throwing uppercuts to celebrate spectacular shots. Nadal’s quarterfinal foe will be No. 20 Diego Schwartzman, a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 winner against No. 6 Alexander Zverev, who was undone by 17 double-faults. See OPEN Page B3

MLB: CARDINALS 3, GIANTS 1

St. Louis continues to surge By Steve Overbey ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS — Adam Wainwright decided to go to the tape. The St. Louis right-hander studied a few of his past performances in an effort to regain some of the aggression from earlier in his career. It worked perfectly for the 38-year-old veteran. Wainwright tossed seven scoreless innings and Kolten Wong delivered a run-scoring triple to lead the Cardinals to a 3-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Paul DeJong had an RBI single for the Cardinals, who have won 10 of 12. They remain three games ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central with 25 games remaining. Mauricio Dubon hit his first major league homer for San

Francisco, which has lost six of seven. Wainwright (10-9) allowed four hits. He struck out one and did not walk a batter in a 96-pitch stint. Wainwright lowered his home ERA to 2.43 in 13 starts this season. He credited the extra video work for his strong outing, “I tried to re-channel that focus that I used to have,” Wainwright said. “That attacking mentality that I used to have. I’ve sort of gotten away from that the last couple starts. “Today, I wanted to attack. Go out and be me.” Wainwright had the video crew pull highlights of his two best starts from each of the 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons. Suitably inspired, he went out and recorded his third scoreless start of the year — all of seven innings or more.

“He was a pitch-maker today,” St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said. “He’s always got the gas pedal down. He’s got a ferocious mindset.” Wainwright now has 10 seasons of 10 wins or more. “That’s the (Wainwright) of old that we’ve come to know,” Wong said. “A legacy that continues to go on.” Wainwright retired the last eight hitters he faced. “He was good at what he does,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. “He slows you down, he speeds you up — a lot of different looks.” Carlos Martinez recorded four outs to pick up his 17th save in 20 chances. He leads the NL with 14 saves since the All-Star break. St. Louis scored twice in the first off Tyler Beede (3-9), who gave up three runs on five hits over four innings. He struck out two and walked one.

each other. “I talked to her a few times over the summer. I was nervous about the workouts and everything that was going to be happening. She knew from her perspective and from her school what the workouts were going to be like since the workouts are similar. She helped me stop worrying, which was nice.” Besides seeing an old friend and teammate, Gibson had other memorable experiences during the tournament. Gibson made the Golden Dome Invitational All-Tournament Team and was Wright State’s top player in a 25-23, 28-26, 23-25, 17-25, 15-11 upset victory over Notre Dame. “We beat Notre Dame! It was a five-set match. We won the first two sets because we started really strong,” Gibson said. “We thought, ‘What do we have to lose. We have nothing to lose and they have everything to lose.’ It was pretty amazing. We played good, clean volleyball. We were excited to show people what we

are made of. When we walk into a gym people are like, ‘Who is Wright State and where are they from?’ We wanted to show them who Wright State is. “It’s really amazing. I’m really proud of myself and my teammates. It is the first time I won an award in my college career. I couldn’t have done it without my team.” Wright State finished the tournament 2-1 with the wins over Notre Dame and La Salle and a loss to Bowling Green, while La Salle went 1-2 with a win over Bowling Green and four-set losses to both Notre Dame and Wright State. With the experience behind her, Guisti hopes she can pass on advice to other Lady Cavs in the same way Gibson did for her. “I talked to some of the girls after they won the Springfield Invitational,” Guisti said. “That’s always a big tournament for L-P. I know a few of them want to play college volleyball and I’m excited to help them out.” Brandon LaChance is a NewsTribune Sports Writer. He can be reached at 220-6995, or sports@newstrib.com.

MLB: INDIANS 11, WHITE SOX 3

Chicago can’t keep up with Cleveland By Steve Herrick ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — Cleveland manager Terry Francona said the Indians’ game against Chicago was painful to watch, but the outcome was worth it. Carlos Santana homered, Franmil Reyes had a three-run double and Cleveland overcome eight walks and two errors in an 11-3 win over the White Sox on Sunday. “I’ve got a dentist appointment in the morning, I feel like I’ve already been there,” Francona joked after the 4-hour, 7-minute marathon in which the teams combined to throw 383 pitches. “We were a little free and loose with the ball and we had too many walks, but we won the game,” Francona said. “You don’t want to ever let that get lost. But we did some things that aren’t gonna put our best foot forward in some close games like that.” Santana, a first-time All-Star this season, hit his team-leading 32nd home run with one out in the sixth and had an RBI single

“Today was just a tough one coming off a really tough seven days. We’ve got to shake it off and put it behind us.” White Sox manager Rick Renteria

in the seventh. Reyes’ first-inning drive to the wall in left-center gave Cleveland the lead after Chicago starter Ross Detwiler walked the bases loaded. Rookie right-hander Aaron Civale (3-3) allowed three runs — one earned — in five innings. The longest nine-inning game in Progressive Field history was 4 hours, 19 minutes on April 28, 2009, against Boston. The Indians needed a boost after being swept in a threegame series at Tampa Bay. Cleveland trails Minnesota by 5½ games in the AL Central and is a half-game behind the Rays in the race for the first

wild-card spot. The White Sox have dropped seven straight — matching their longest streak of the season — and are a season-high 17 games under .500. “Today was just a tough one coming off a really tough seven days,” manager Rick Renteria said. “We’ve got to shake it off and put it behind us.” Renteria was ejected by plate umpire Mark Carlson in the fifth inning. It’s the eighth time he’s been kicked out of a game this season. Renteria thought catcher Welington Castillo caught Francisco Lindor’s foul tip that would have resulted in a strikeout.

Sports MLB: CUBS 5, MARINERS 1

Cubs rally for ﬁve runs in the sevnth By John Jackson ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — After not scoring for nearly three full games, the Cubs were desperate for a big hit or a lucky break. Both played a role in Chicago’s late rally on Monday. Kyle Schwarber had a threerun triple to highlight a five-run seventh, and the Cubs snapped a 24-inning scoreless streak in a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Anthony Rizzo went 2 for 2 and drove in a run for Chicago, which remained 3½ games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central. The Cubs have a 2½-game lead for the second wild card in the NL. The Cubs were coming off back-to-back shutout losses to the Milwaukee Brewers. Before Sunday, they hadn’t been shut out in back-to-back games at Wrigley Field since August 2013 vs. the Dodgers. “Our lineup did an unbelievable job today just being persistent,” starter Kyle Hendricks said. “Putting together great atbats all game. That’s what we’ve been doing the last few days, but had just been hitting balls right at guys and not finding holes.” Jason Heyward led off the seventh with a walk against reliever Matt Wisler (3-3) and stole second. One out later, Kris Bryant walked. Left-hander Taylor Guilbeau then came on to face Rizzo, who stroked a sharp single to center to score Heyward. On the play, Bryant and Rizzo advanced on a throwing error by center fielder Jake Fraley, and then pinch-hitter Albert Almora Jr. was intentionally walked to load the bases. Schwarber followed with a grounder down the line that hit off first base and rolled down the line in foul territory as all three runners scored for a 4-1 Chicago lead. If the ball doesn’t hit the bag, first baseman Austin Nola might have been able to make a play on it, or at least keep it in the infield. “We needed to have that one break,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We needed something like

David Phelps (2-0) pitched a scoreless seventh inning. Duane Underwood Jr. and Brad Wieck closed it out. Hendricks allowed one run on three hits in six innings, walking one and striking out seven.

Andujar 6-1, 6-1, 6-2. Osaka made her breakthrough at Flushing Meadows a year ago, winning her ﬁrst major championship by beating Serena Williams in a chaotic final that devolved after Williams got into an extended argument with the chair umpire. Osaka followed that up with a second consecutive Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open in January. That allowed her to become the ﬁrst tennis player representing Japan to reach No. 1 in the rank-

in each inning against Sheffield, but went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position — leaving a total of nine runners on base through five. “Justus Sheffield was awesome,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “Really, really excited about what I saw out of him today.

Goerges served for the victory at 5-4 in the second set, coming within one point of ending things right there.

Stocks slide on new China tariffs NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell broadly on Wall Street today as markets opened after a long weekend to expanded tariffs between the U.S. and China. Technology companies led the decline. The sector is sensitive to swings in trade with China and tariffs have the potential to drive up costs for gadget and chipmakers. Apple, which relies on China as a key part of its supply chain, fell 1%, while chipmaker Nvidia fell 1.5%. The S&P 500 fell 1% as of 10:05 a.m. Eastern Time. The Dow Jones Industrial

Credit card loans may cost less than cash advances, but they aren’t cheap. Citi Flex Loans carry annual percentage rates that range from 7.99% to 8.99%, while My Chase Loan offers vary from 16.99% to 22.24% APR for borrowers with excellent FICO credit scores (over 720). For example, a five-year, $5,000 Citi Flex Loan at 8.99% APR would have monthly payments of $104 and total interest of $1,226. 8,080 S&P 500 Taking loan also increases Close:the 2,926.46 7,900 1.88 (0.1%) rate — your Change: credit utilization 7,720is how much of your credit limit 8,400 used.

Average fell 352 points, or 1.3%, to 26,050. The Nasdaq fell 1%. On Sunday, the U.S. started charging a 15% tariff on about $112 billion of Chinese products. China responded by charging tariffs of 10% and 5% on a list of American goods. U.S. markets were closed on Monday for Labor Day. Industrial stocks were among the biggest decliners. Caterpillar, an industry bellwether on trade, fell 1.8%. Oil prices fell 3.5% and dragged energy stocks lower. Chevron slid 1.8%.

Investors fled to safer holdings, including utility stocks, bonds and gold. Utilities wobbled between small gains and losses, while the price of gold rose 1.5%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.44% from 1.50% late Friday.

Dorothy Holsinger

Philip Joseph Ferentchak, 85, of Frankfort passed away Aug. 29, 2019, in Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox, with the love of his life, his wife, Caroline by his side. Funeral services will be at noon Wednesday in Mueller Funeral Home, Peru, with the elders of the Kingdom Hall officiating. Burial will follow at Peru City Cemetery. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the time of services Wednesday at the funeral home. Philip was born Sept. 5, 1933, in La Salle and was the fourth child of Paul and Antoinette (Lushina) Ferentchak. He graduated from La Salle-Peru Township High School in 1951 and was drafted into the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict. He was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal and was named Outstanding Soldier, Mr. Ferentchak voted by the entire Fort Benning Army personnel. Whereby, he was appointed as the attaché to the generals, most notably, Maj. Gen. John Eisenhower. After his discharge from the Army, Philip married Caroline Mentgen on Jan. 12, 1957, at St. Joseph’s Church, Peru and went on to achieve success in the private sector in various management positions, which included Vice President of Marketing at Purolator Courier where he hired and helped develop the marketing staff. He was given many awards, which included several trips abroad. He was also an accomplished photographer and was published in Sojourn Magazine and the International Book of Photography. His word was everything. He will be remembered for a lifetime of kindness, loyalty, trustworthiness, dedication and love of family. He read the Holy Scriptures daily and endeavored to abide by the laws and placed faith and hope in the resurrection in the near future. Meek will inherit the earth – Psalm 37:11. The Kingdom is coming and will be done on earth – Matthew 6:9. Death will be no more – Revelation 21:4. In recent years, Philip fought health trouble valiantly and his doctor, the great surgeon, Dr. Denton Cooley commended Philip on his courage and as one of his best patients. Survivors include his wife, Caroline; one brother, Rudy (Lynn) Ferentchak of New Jersey and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Marion (Eddie) Borisek and Antoinette (Michael) Maggio; one brother, Paul (Pearl) Ferentchak and a nephew, Roger Maggio.

Owen Lamar “Lee” Studstill Jr., 63, of Arlington passed away Aug. 31, 2019, after an extended illness at Heartland Health Care Center in Henry. Memorial services will be held at 6 p.m. today in Mueller Funeral Home, Peru with Pastor Brett Todd of Grace United Methodist Church, La Salle officiating. Visitation will be 4-6 p.m. today in the funeral home. Born Oct. 20, 1955, in Macon, Ga., Lee was the oldest son of Owen Lamar Studstill Sr. and Doris Atkins Studstill. Lee married Melinda Morgan on Aug. 15, 1986, in Swainsboro, Ga. Lee is lovingly remembered by his family: wife, Melinda Studstill of Arlington; daughter, Summer Studstill of Mendota; and brother, Cole (Kim) Studstill of Peru. Lee is also survived by 15 nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his Mr. Studstill parents. Lee received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Georgia College, and a master’s degree from the University of Alabama, Birmingham. Lee grew up watching his father work as a broadcaster, and in the 1970s, as just a teenager, Lee worked as a newsman for a Macon radio station and helped his dad broadcast basketball and football games over dozens of radio stations all over the state of Georgia. From that beginning, Lee led the family in purchasing their first stations in Georgia. Six years later, Lee was instrumental in convincing the family to purchase two stations in Mendota, and he and Melinda moved to Mendota from Georgia. From that beginning, Lee founded the Studstill Media group of stations, including stations in Streator, Peru and Spring Valley. Lee was the creator, president and leader of Studstill Media for the past 37 years. Lee and Melinda served as emcees of the Mendota Sweet Corn Festival for many years in the 1990s and 2000s. When not working, Lee enjoyed reading, horseback riding and running. Lee was introduced to a love of horses by his future wife, Melinda, and they owned horses for many years and will be missed by his equine children, Shawnee and Noble, along with his two canine children, Juno and Butterbean. Lee was an accomplished athlete, all-state in Georgia in high school basketball and track and field, and later played college basketball. As an adult, Lee found great joy in running, and successfully completed seven marathons, including qualifying for, and running two times, the Boston Marathon. Lee especially enjoyed his family, a devoted husband to Melinda, and a loving father of Summer. He proudly shared in Summer’s academic successes and was thrilled when Summer joined the family business after graduating college last year. Even after his memory suffered while battling Alzheimer’s, he could still vividly remember with joy the time 15 years ago that he spotted and rescued a dog that had been missing for several days after escaping from a friend’s car during an auto accident on Route 251. In celebration of Lee’s love of four-legged friends, please direct any memorial donations to Friends of Strays, Princeton.
