Jazsmine Farley of Boss Vapes in La Salle blows a cloud of vapor in the store. A lung illness related to vaping has been reported in 36 states across the country. The outbreak has not been linked to a specific e-cigarette product, but most patients reported a history of using e-cigarette products containing THC, the intoxicating compound in marijuana.

buy empty cartridges for a vape pen and fill them with products they are making on their own outside of regulation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “You can buy them empty and fill them yourself,” she said. “What is making people sick is illegal for us to sell here.” Still, she said many customers have raised concerns when coming into the store in recent weeks. “Everyone that has come in our door has had questions about it,” she said. “If you’re not getting high, you’re good. You should not have any issues at all.” WHAT IS THE SICKNESS? Different types of e-cigarette products also tend to get lumped together in the “vaping” category. Vape juice is made up of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, food flavoring and
water whereas more discrete e-cigarette pens like the popular JUUL products contain nicotine salts juice, which does not produce the large clouds of vapor. Then there is the possibility of added THC oil, which if purchased on the black market, could contain vitamin E acetate, an ingredient some health officials believe to be the cause of the illness. However, all reported cases have a history of e-cigarette use with many reporting a combination of THC and nicotine use, according to the CDC. Some have reported the use only of e-cigarette products containing nicotine. But the CDC is warning people to not use e-cigarette products at all during this time. Bonucci said lung damage is critical to health and people should be cautious about inhaling any chemicals. See VAPING Page A2

DETROIT (AP) — More than 49,000 members of the United Auto Workers walked off General Motors factory floors or set up picket lines early Monday as contract talks with the company deteriorated into a strike. Workers shut down 33 manufacturing plants in nine states across the U.S., as well as 22 parts distribution warehouses. It wasn’t clear how long the walkout would last, with the union saying GM has budged little in months of talks while GM said it made substantial offers including higher wages and factory investments. It’s the first national strike by the union since a two-day walkout in 2007 that had little impact on the company. GM workers joined striking Aramark-employed janitors assigned to GM facilities on the picket lines Sunday night at a sprawling factory on the border between Detroit and the small town of Hamtramck. Worker Patty Thomas said she wasn’t scheduled to picket, but came out to support her colleagues at the car plant, which GM wants to close. She’s heard talk that GM may keep the factory open and start building electric pickup trucks there, but she’s skeptical. “What are they going to take away?” she asked. “That’s the big issue.” She said workers gave up costof-living pay raises to help GM get through bankruptcy, and workers want some of that back now that the company is making profits. Striking GM employees were joined on the picket lines by workers from Ford and Fiat Chrysler, who are working under contract extensions. Night shift workers at an aluminum castings factory in Bedford, Indiana, that makes transmission casings and other parts shut off their machines and headed for the exits, said Dave Green, a worker who transferred from the now-shuttered GM small-car factory in Lordstown, Ohio. Green, a former local union president, said he agrees with the strike over wages, plant closures and other issues. “If we don’t fight now, when are we going to fight?” he asked. “This is not about us. It’s about the future.” UAW Vice President Terry Dittes, the union’s top GM negotiator, said a strike is the union’s last resort but is needed because both sides are far apart in negotiating a new four-year contract. The union, he said Saturday, does not take a strike lightly.

Trump: U.S. locked, loaded in response to drone attack By Zeke Miller and Jon Gambrell ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tensions are flaring in the Persian Gulf after President Donald Trump said the U.S. is “locked and loaded� to respond to a weekend drone assault on Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure that his aides blamed on Iran. The attack, which halved the kingdom’s oil production and sent crude prices spiking, led Trump to authorize the release of U.S. strategic reserves should they be necessary to stabilize markets. Trump said the U.S. had reason to believe it knew who was behind the attack his secretary of state had blamed on Iran the previous day and said his govern-

Bonucci said. IS THERE ANYTHING LOCALLY? La Salle, Bureau and Putnam counties have not reported any illnesses are a result of vaping.

ment was waiting to consult with the Saudis as to who they believe was behind the attack and “under what terms we would proceed!â€? The tweets Sunday followed a National Security Council meeting at the White House and hours after U.S. oďŹƒcials offered what they said was proof that the attack was inconsistent with claims of responsibility by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels and instead pointed the ďŹ nger directly at Tehran. A U.S. oďŹƒcial said all options, including a military response, were on the table, but added that no decisions had been made. The oďŹƒcial spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the internal deliberations. Iran called the U.S. claims “maximum liesâ€? and threatened American forces in the region.
The attack dimmed hopes for potential nuclear talks between Trump and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the U.N. General Assembly this week. The U.S. government produced satellite photos showing what ofďŹ cials said were at least 19 points of impact at two Saudi energy facilities, including damage at the heart of the kingdom’s crucial oil processing plant at Abqaiq. OďŹƒcials said the photos show impacts consistent with the attack coming from the direction of Iran or Iraq, rather than from Yemen to the south. Iraq denied that its territory was used for an attack on the kingdom. U.S. oďŹƒcials said a strike from there would be a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty. The U.S. oďŹƒcials said additional devices, which apparently
didn’t reach their targets, were recovered northwest of the facilities and are being jointly analyzed by Saudi and American intelligence. The oďŹƒcials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, did not address whether the drone could have been ďŹ red from Yemen, then taken a round-about path, but did not explicitly rule it out. The attacks and recriminations are increasing already heightened fears of an escalation in the region, after a prominent U.S. senator suggested striking Iranian oil reďŹ neries in response to the assault, and Iran warned of the potential of more violence. “Because of the tension and sensitive situation, our region is like a powder keg,â€? said Iranian Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh.

Dougherty said any e-cigarette users experiencing respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath or chest pain, or other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, should seek medical attention.
in 2016 to 26.7% in 2018. That compares to 5.2% of high school seniors smoking traditional cigarettes. On a national level, the U.S. Surgeon General’s OďŹƒce reported e-cigarette use among high schoolers jumped from 11.7% in 2017 to 20.8% in 2018. Starting in July, Illinois changed its tobacco use age from 18 to 21 years of age. Farley and Dean agreed that this change left a group of users younger than 21 who have already been using e-cigarettes without a legal method of buying vape products from regulated stores. If those individuals sought untested products from the black market, Farley said it could be a contributing factor to the rash of illnesses.
venience stores in the Illinois Valley. Users such as Dean and Farley said the ongoing coverage of the nationwide spread of illness are not going to stop them from vaping. “Because I’m a person of science. I do all sorts of research on my own time. And if I ever were to come across something to the contrary, I would stop at the ip of a switch,â€? Farley said. For Dean, going back to cigarettes is not an option. Smoking, a known killer, claims 480,000 lives per year, according to the CDC. So the current e-cigarette scare is a concern worth monitoring, but not a reason to stop right now, he said. “People need to read into it,â€? Dean said. “People need to be informed.â€?
INDUSTRY UNDER SCRUTINY In light of the recent spread of vaping-related illnesses, President Trump announced a ban on popular e-cigarette avors in an eort to curb their attraction to younger people. State and federal agencies, including the FDA, have been looking into placing restrictions on the vaping industry for months due to their attractiveness to teens. A survey published by IDPH shows the number of high school seniors using e-cigarettes grew from 18.4%

North Korea says talks with US could resume in a ‘few weeks’ By Kim Tong-Hyung ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Monday that diplomatic talks with the United States could resume in a “few weeks,� but that it will not consider abandoning its nuclear weapons unless external threats are fully removed. A statement Monday attributed to a North Korean
foreign ministry official said potential upcoming working-level talks would be decisive in determining the fate of the country’s diplomacy with Washington. It called for unspecified U.S. security and economic concessions, saying the discussions of North Korea’s denuclearization will only be possible when “threats and hurdles endangering our system security and obstructing our development

Negotiations have stalled since a February summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump in Hanoi, Vietnam, collapsed over disagreements over sanctions relief in exchange for disarmament measures. The North has since expressed its displeasure through belligerent rhetoric and a urry of shortrange weapons tests that experts see as an attempt to dial up pressure on the U.S. and South Korea and build leverage ahead of talks. In a meeting with senior aides on Monday, South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who lobbied hard to set up the ďŹ rst meeting between Kim and Trump in June last year, said

North Korea has cut o virtually all diplomatic activity with the South amid the stalemate in nuclear negotiations while demanding that Seoul break away from Washington and restart inter-Korean economic projects held back by U.S.-led sanctions against the North. “Our government will serve whatever role and do whatever it can to stabilize peace on the Korean Peninsula,â€? Moon said. Last Monday, North Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said that the North is willing to resume nuclear diplomacy in late September but that Washington must come to the negotiating table with acceptable new proposals. She said if the proposals don’t satisfy North Korea, dealings between the two countries may end.

Peru’s Jason Haskell announces bid for local state rep seat A Republican has announced his candidacy for the Illinois House seat currently held by state Rep. Lance Yednock (D-Ottawa). Jason Haskell of Peru is a construction project manager and entrepreneur seeking the represent a statehouse district that includes La Salle County and most of Bureau C o u n t y . Haskell had previously announced, in 2017, a bid for U.S. Congress but decided at the last minute not to file his petitions. “My candiHaskell dacy sparked enough excitement throughout the district, which yielded an additional two challengers,” Haskell said in a Thursday news release. “I had learned a lot from my experience campaigning for federal office, and best of all, I was able to meet so many amazing people along the way. “Now, two years later, I am ready to take my fight to Springfield.” Haskell runs on a platform of fiscal reform, describing Illinois as “sinking in pension debt, and taxpayers are on the hook.” He proposes moving all new state hires to defined contribution plans, such as a 401(k)/403(b), and freezing public-sector hiring until the state workforce is reduced by 11.5%. “Shrinking the payroll by 11.5% saves taxpayers at least $839 million in payroll cost, allowing Illinois to start working down the size of the unfunded pension liability,” he said. Haskell also wants to repeal the 32% tax increase which went into effect on July 1, 2017, asserting it has driven citizens and businesses out of Illinois. He also supports term limits and balancing the state budget. His website is www.votejasonhaskell.com.

Jim Olson wants 4 more years as county chairman Seneca Dem lists finances as a priority By Derek Barichello SHAW MEDIA
La Salle County Chairman Jim Olson wants to keep his seat. Olson, who was appointed chairman in March when Jerry Hicks (D-Marseilles) resigned, announced Sunday on his Facebook page he will seek election in the 2020 race. A Seneca Democrat and a past finance committee chairman, Olson has made the budget his priority in his short time thus far. He suggested the board approve the hiring of a finance director to oversee drafting the budget and
meeting grant application qualifications. He also said it’s a goal to maintain the county’s current tax rate. “I always keep an open mind and listen to both sides of an issue before making a decision,” Olson wrote in his Facebook announcement. “With your support and vote I will continue to give 110% of my efforts to keep La Salle County a great place to live and work!” No other candidates have announced their interest in the chairman post as of yet. Olson was appointed chairman months after the board’s decision to bar two deputy auditors from the county office after they were charged with receiving
overtime pay prosecutors said they didn’t earn. One was found not guilty and charges were dismissed for the other. Olson served Olson as chairman when the two were fired from their posts by the county’s finance committee. He has said if he receives a proposal from County Board members, he will put a vote on the County Board’s agenda to place a referendum on the ballot removing the elected auditor’s position in La Salle County,
which would leave the issue up to the county’s voters. Owner of Olson Auto Scrap Metal Recycling in Seneca, he served on the County Board for eight years, holding posts as chairman of the finance committee and vice chairman. Olson resigned from the County Board to become circuit clerk when Andy Skoog succeeded Frank Mautino as state representative. Greg Vaccaro, of Peru, defeated Olson for the circuit clerk position in 2016. “I am committed to working with every La Salle County Board member so we can move the County in the right direction when decisions come before us,” Olson wrote.

Flint Hills to pay $850,000 for chemical release Attorney General reaches settlement with Peru facility By NewsTribune Staff
A local manufacturer will pay a penalty of $850,000 stemming from a pollution incident in 2014. Friday, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced his office reached a consent order with chemical manufacturer Flint Hills Resources in Peru that addresses a lawsuit filed in May 2014 by then Attorney General Lisa Madigan. The lawsuit was filed after chemicals were released into the air and threatened the
nearby Illinois River, according to a press release from the Attorney General’s Office. The consent order required Flint Hills to pay $850,000 and comply with all state environmental laws and permit requirements. “This consent order will ensure that Flint Hills is held accountable for any future violations of state law,” Raoul said. “My office will work diligently to protect Illinois residents from contamination that threatens public health and the environment.” A system malfunction at the Peru facility caused 56,000 pounds of styrene, a hazardous air pollutant, to be released into the air. And about 2,000 pounds of liquid styrene was dumped onto the ground, threatening the

Parking fee could provide Starved Rock with the care it needs
By Seth Borenstein, Nicholas Riccardi and Hannah Fingerhut ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump gets some of his worst marks from the American people when it comes to his handling of climate change, and majorities believe the planet is warming and support government actions that he has sometimes scoffed at. While the administration has rolled back regulations to cut emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide from power and industrial plants and pushed for more coal use, wide shares of Americans say they want just the opposite, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. About two out of three Americans say corporations have a responsibility to combat climate change, and a similar share also say it’s the job of the U.S. government. But 64% of Americans say they disapprove of Trump’s policies toward climate change while about half that many say they approve. That 32% approval of his climate policies is the lowest among six issue areas that the poll asked about, including immigration (38 and health care (37%). Ann Florence, a 70-year-old retiree and self-described independent from Jonesborough, Tennessee, said she faults Trump on climate change “because he doesn’t believe it’s happening. It is changing if he would just look at what’s happening.” While a majority of Republicans do approve of Trump’s performance on climate change, his marks among the GOP on the issue are slightly lower compared with other issues. Meanwhile, 7% of Democrats and 29% of independents approve of Trump on climate change. Ricky Kendrick, a 30-year-old in Colorado, said he is contemplating leaving the Republican Party, partly over its denial of climate change. “They don’t see it as a priority at all,” Kendrick, a hardware salesman in the heart of western Colorado’s energy belt, complained of the president and his party. “There are some (weather) things happening that I’ve never seen before. ... Something’s changing.” He was alarmed at Trump’s departure from the Paris climate accord and wants the U.S. to reduce offshore drilling, end subsidies for fossil fuels and ramp up those for renewable energy. In the new poll, roughly three out of four Americans say they believe climate change is happening and a large majority of those think humans are at least partly to blame. In total, 47% of all Americans say they think climate change is happening and is caused mostly or entirely by human activities; 20% think it’s caused about equally by human activities and natural changes in the environment; and 8% think it’s happening but is caused mostly or entirely by natural changes in the environment.

Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks are a unique attraction with its canyons, vistas and St. Peter’s sandstone formations in the middle of the farmlands of Illinois, so it’s no wonder many visitors are attracted to its beauty. An important natural resource and beauty, Starved Rock is a key asset to our region’s economy from the tourism it generates. Starved Rock has, since 2013, drawn attendance figures that rival the United States’ 10 biggest national parks. Through Sept. 1 of this year, the park was on pace to welcome 2,453,000 visitors. The estimation comes as a result of detecting the number of vehicles entering the park at the west entrance and lodge. Each vehicle is counted as 5.5 people. Starved Rock attendance figures will move close to 15 million people, cumulatively, over the past five years.
Keep in mind, those visitors spend money in our communities at restaurants, gas stations, hotels, and other attractions geared toward visitors. Entire industries in the region are built around the park’s attraction. That spending also generates sales tax revenue that helps our local governments provide services without having to ask for more property taxes. In order to best preserve that beauty, however, Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks need a steady maintenance fund. Earlier this week, Shaw Media reported the trail to Tonti Canyon in Starved Rock has been closed due to a need for repairs and there’s concern other trails are in jeopardy, unless money is pumped back into the park. Pam Grivetti, president of the Starved Rock Foundation, has sent numerous letters to Springfield asking for the state’s help. We believe state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Peru, had the right idea when she sponsored a bill earlier this year to charge a $5 parking fee for Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks, as well as options for annual passes, that would be strictly
earmarked for the park’s maintenance. After all, 37 other states charge parking and/or admission to their state parks. That bill fell short because there was an exemption carved out for La Salle County residents, but Rezin isn’t giving up on the bill, knowing it’s too important to let go and knowing it needs some tweaking. As more visitors learn about the great things this area has to offer, the tourism industry will continue to grow, making it more important to care for Starved Rock — the top attraction. We believe a parking fee is the best solution, because it asks those who are using the park to be the ones who provide the steady funding. We don’t expect this will be a major deterrent as visitors value the park enough to pay a nominal fee. Nobody is turning around and going home over $5 or $10 after traveling 100 miles, and those attending the park should understand it comes at a cost to keep it the crown jewel that it is. Make no mistake, the money generated would need to be strictly earmarked for the park to provide for infrastructure upgrades, more maintenance staff and possibly more
Illinois Department of Natural Resources officers to enforce park rules. There’s also something to be said visitors may act differently when there is an admission. Perhaps those who vandalize the canyon formations with graffiti or bring illegal activity to the park will think twice when a value is put on the experience from the outset. Starved Rock is too valuable of a resource — both naturally and economically — to let it deteriorate in any shape or form. We encourage Sen. Rezin, as well as state Rep. Lance Yednock, D-Ottawa, to continue their efforts to pass a regular parking fee at Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks, so park officials have the means to take care of the park for us to continue to enjoy and share. One practical solution to Rezin’s previous exemption for La Salle County residents is to adopt this plan statewide. That way no one is favored, and visitors can buy their annual tag for the IDNR and use it at other state attractions. This can be done and still target the new revenue based on splitting the pot through percentages based on park attendances.
U.S. president not a factor in Canada’s election LA MALABIE, Quebec — They walked the ancient halls, gazed out on the mighty St. Lawrence River, felt the cool Quebec breezes, ate Charlevoix Basque-style duck breast with pumpernickel bread chips followed by Saskatoon berry sorDavid bet, and Shribman sipped wines NEWSPAPER from the ENTERPRISE Gaspereau AFFILIATE Valley of Nova Scotia and the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Then everything fell apart. This old tucked-away retreat, five hours north and east of Montreal, is an unlikely venue for anything, to say nothing of a meeting of the leaders of the G7 nations. But a tranquil setting where the cows loll in great green fields, and where the rhythms are measured by tide tables published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service, is an especially improbable setting for an encounter that is shaping the elections of two powerful nations. For it was here in June 2018 that President Trump broke with the rest of the industrial nations on trade and climate change, clashing repeatedly with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and, after leaving the summit early to meet North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, dismiss-
ing his Canadian host as “meek and mild” and “dishonest & weak.” Shortly thereafter Trump aide Peter Navarro said there was “a special place in hell” for Trudeau. Now the Canadian prime minister and the American president are seeking second terms, and the confrontation here at the Manoir Richelieu stands as a potent symbol of the two men’s profiles — and of their political prospects. Trudeau meets the Canadian electorate on Oct. 21, with Trump’s political test coming almost exactly a year later. Some of Trudeau’s Liberal Party aides are urging him to run as much against Trump as against his Canadian opponents, the Conservative Andrew Scheer and the New Democrat Jagmeet Singh. Trump’s re-election depends in part on the American public’s verdict on his tendency to target pointed outbursts against anyone who, like Trudeau, holds views that differ with his. “In Canada, Trump is the least popular U.S. president ever,” the veteran Canadian diplomat Jeremy Kinsman wrote in Canada’s prestigious Policy Magazine. “No one running for national office here would dare support his style, apparent values, or the substance of his actions, and expect to win.” Meanwhile, south of the Canadian border, the Trump style is as much — perhaps more — an issue as the Trump political portfolio. The president’s re-election prospects depend in large measure on whether he retains the support of voters who embrace his record (tax
cuts, a strong economy and two conservative Supreme Court nominations) but deplore his comportment (angry tweets, freestyle public comments, a continuing war against the mainstream press). For both candidates, the calculus is complicated. Like all Canadian prime ministers, Trudeau must simultaneously prove his independence from the American chief executive (a task his father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, mastered a generation ago) even as he displays what Kinsman describes as “a civil and fair transactional relationship with the powerful U.S. leader” (which Conservative Brian Mulroney did with flair with both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and which Trudeau’s predecessor, Stephen Harper, failed to do with Barack Obama). Trudeau and Trump have one important goal in common, the ratification of the successor treaty to NAFTA. The trade pact is vital to Canada, but its value is less evident in the U.S., where labor leaders and environmentalists ardently oppose the agreement. NAFTA was embraced by the Republican George H.W. Bush and the Democrat Bill Clinton, and its successor pact has the support of major American business interests. Last year, in an unusual cross-border gesture, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce issued a joint statement in support of the pact. “In 2016 Kentucky was among the top 10 states providing Ontario’s imports,” said
Dave Adkisson, president and CEO of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. American presidents always have cast a large shadow on Canada. In 1938, as war clouds darkened in Europe, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who vacationed at Campobello in New Brunswick and once said he passed “so many happy hours of my life” in Canada, joined Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King in Kingston, Ontario. There FDR said that the United States, which itself had mounted occasional invasions of Canada, would for the first time pledge to defend Canada from foreign incursions. Three decades later, Lyndon B. Johnson physically shook Canada’s Lester B. Pearson over the Canadian leader’s skepticism about the Vietnam War. But no American president has been as prominent, and as pilloried, as Trump, the subject of every Canadian conversation and the preoccupation of every publication and public-affairs television program. There is a new debate: how to mollify Washington, or even co-exist with Trump, while engaging China, which for years has been the target of the 45th president’s ire and, more recently, of his trade war. Accustomed to accommodating one giant military and economic force, Canada now finds itself in the middle of a conflict between one colossus that is on the rise and another that is struggling not to be in eclipse.

This photo of Sheffield native Dick Slock very likely would have run as an obituary photo in 1945 had it not been for the atom bomb. Slock was steaming into Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Mellette, certain of imminent death, when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed, bringing a swift end to World War II. “Dad said that was the best thing that ever happened. He figured it would go another five years if he (President Truman) didn’t drop the bomb,” son Tom Slock said. “If they had to land in Japan it would have taken a long time to root out everybody.”
NEWSTRIBUNE PHOTO/TRACEY MACLEOD
Dick Slock will be 95 this fall and doesn’t remember everything about World War II, but he sure remembers the sight of flags marking the guns trained on his and other allied vessels steaming into Tokyo Bay. It was summer 1945 and Slock thought he and his comrades were doomed. Instead, he stood within a few hundred yards of the USS Missouri, aboard which the Japanese surrendered to allied forces.
‘If we went in there, we would have been blown away’ Dick Slock remembers oh-so-close call in Tokyo Bay, then victory By Tom Collins
NEWSTRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER
H
e sailed into Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Mellette in summer 1945 and he did not think he would come out alive.
Dick Slock was a radio operator with the U.S. Navy who enlisted at age 19 when the World War II was drawing to a close
in Europe but still was raging in the Pacific Theater. Even behind the seeming safety of a radio console, the Sheffield native found himself in some of the war’s hottest zones. His ship delivered Marines to Iwo Jima, Okinawa and then steamed into Tokyo Bay for an invasion of Japan. Casualty estimates were through the roof. But there was a surprise awaiting Dick Slock as he steamed toward the Japanese capital. Days earlier, President Harry S. Truman had ordered the
bombing of two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, using a super-secret weapon. Nobody on board knew what an atom bomb was and all were flabbergasted at the reports of the swift devastation — or the swiftness of the Japanese surrender. A great collective cheer went up when news reached the Mellette that Japan surrendered. “We were ready to go back home, yeah,” Slock recalled from the Illinois Veterans Home at La Salle, where he’s closing in on his 95th birthday.
And everyone aboard the Mellette had been braced for death. Slock’s memory isn’t what it was, but he still remembers the chilling sight of Japanese gun sights. From the sea, Slock spotted dozens of flags marking where Japanese guns were trained at the Mellette and other allied vessels. Slock’s sons and daughtersin-law said Dick rarely spoke about the Japanese landing, but when he did the first thing he remarked was how certain he was of death.
“If we went in there before the treaty,” Dick had told daughterin-law Elaine, “we would have been blown away.” Slock’s doom turned into glory because he stood just a few hundred yards from where the Japanese signed their surrender. The Mellette was anchored within sight of the USS Missouri, aboard which Gen. Douglas MacArthur receive Japanese diplomats who agreed to an unconditional surrender. Slock was, however, too far

This book featured a frontispiece of Harper wearing a suit – a floor-length skirt and a sleeveless bodice with covered buttons down its front. Underneath the bodice, her velvet shirtwaist ends in cuffs with ruffles around her wrists, and at her neck is tied a ribbon. A bit of white ruffle at her neck suggests a shirtwaist worn under the velvet. When the book arrived and I opened it pages to display Harper, I saw something unusual. There was not just one portrait at the front of the volume – there were two. I was surprised to see this second frontispiece because I had been looking at a digital version of the book and hadn’t been able to see both pages at once. The second portrait was a woman named Mary E. Harper. Who was this second woman? I could see by examining the details of her costume that Mary was as dignified as Frances. But why would her portrait be featured so prominently in this work of poetry, and what meaning can we take away from this publica-
tion choice? To answer my questions, I consulted with Martha S. Jones, an expert on Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. MARTHA’S STORY I was as intrigued as curator Kate Clarke Lemay when I saw that the Frances Ellen Watkins Harper volume, “Atlanta Offering,” included not one but two portraits. My intrigue ran deep because I am familiar with this particular portrait of Frances; it circulates widely and even illustrates my first book, “All Bound Up Together: The Woman Question in African American Public Culture,” the title of which borrows from one of her speeches. Increasingly, researchers like me are using materials that have been digitized – including books like “Atlanta Offering.” Clicking through images on a laptop risks missing interesting and important details. This was certainly true for me and helps explain how I had managed to overlook Mary E. Harper. Overlooking Mary E. Harper’s portrait is an apt metaphor for how she has been overlooked in historical studies.

Rise in health uninsured may be linked to fears from immigrants By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Census Bureau reported an increase in the number of people without health insurance in America, it sent political partisans reaching for talking points on the Obamaera health law and its travails. But the new numbers suggest that fears of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown may be a more signiďŹ cant factor in the slippage. Overall, the number of uninsured in the U.S. rose by 1.9 million people in 2018, the agency report this past week. It was the ďŹ rst jump in nearly a decade. An estimated 27.5 million people, or 8.5% of the population, lacked coverage the entire year. The report showed that a drop in low-income people enrolled in Medicaid was the most signiďŹ cant factor behind the higher number of uninsured people. Hispanics were the only major racial and ethnic category with a significant increase in their uninsured rate. It rose by 1.6 percentage points in 2018, with nearly 18% lacking coverage.

Dear Harriette: I am so scared because of the extreme weather in the world. When I listen to the news, I can’t tell what to believe. Some leaders say that SENSE & this is hapSENSITIVITY all pening Harriette Cole because of cliUNIVERSAL mate UCLICK change, and they say that it is not too late for us to change our ways. Others say that’s a bunch of baloney, and human beings have nothing to do with the weather patterns. I am so scared. I want to know if there is anything that I can do to make our planet better rather than just waiting until the next natural disaster possibly hurts me and my family. What can I do? — Scared of the Weather Dear Scared Of The Weather: While there are varying opinions about the state of our world and our direct responsibility for it, most experts agree that human beings have contributed to climate change. In the simplest of terms, our carbon footprint increases with the energy used to create many conveniences in our lives. According to NASA, “Your carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide released into the air because of your own energy needs. You need transportation, electricity, food, clothing and other goods. Your choices can make a dierence.â€? The most direct way that each of us can support the Earth is by being conscious of how we use energy. That includes turning o electronic appliances. Now, the debate continues as to whether our choices have caused devastating storms like the most recent, Hurricane Dorian, which devastated the Bahamas. If you want to contribute to the rebuilding of communities that have been devastated by Dorian, you can go to redcross.org or look for local charities that are working to help out.

IN BRIEF Cubs sweep Pirates but lose Rizzo CHICAGO (AP) — Star first baseman Anthony Rizzo was pulled from a game Sunday with a sprained right ankle, putting a damper on the Chicago Cubs’ 16-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates that completed a three-game sweep. Rizzo was injured fielding a bunt at first base, had to be helped off the field and could not put pressure on the leg. X-rays taken at Wrigley Field showed no fractures. He’ll get an MRI on Monday. Chicago’s postseason pursuit has already been hindered by an injury to shortstop Javier Báez, who is out for the rest of the regular season with a hairline fracture of his left thumb. The Cubs maintained their one-game lead over Milwaukee for the second NL wild card. Kris Bryant homered twice, and Ian Happ, Kyle Schwarber and Jonathan Lucroy also connected for the Cubs, who outscored the Pirates 47-15 in the series. Brad Wieck (1-1) struck out both batters he faced. Trevor Williams (7-7) allowed seven runs in 2 1/3 innings.

CROSS COUNTRY: GARY COATES INVITATIONAL
Heagy dominates to end busy week
Brewers top Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ryan Braun overcame a 4-3 deficit with a grand slam off Junior Fernández with two outs in the ninth. Milwaukee won for the ninth time in 10 games and closed within three games of the NL Central-leading Cardinals. Jon Gant (10-1) walked the bases loaded in the ninth. Tommy Edman hit a two-run homer with one out in the bottom half off Josh Hader, who struck out Harrison Bader and pinch-hitter Tyler O’Neill for his 33rd save. Bader hit a pair of solo homers. Matt Albers (7-5) got two outs.
Mariners rout Sox SEATTLE (AP) — José Ruiz (2-2) walked Tom Murphy with the bases loaded in the ninth, giving Seattle its second straight walk-off win. Kyle Lewis hit a three-run homer in the eighth that cut the Mariners’ deficit to 10-9, the fourth homer during his first week in the major leagues.
Brees injured in Saints’ loss to Rams LOS ANGELES (AP) — With Drew Brees watching from the sideline with an injured hand, the Los Angeles Rams didn’t need a no-call to beat the New Orleans Saints again. Jared Goff passed for 283 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score, and the Rams stopped New Orleans from scoring an offensive touchdown for the first time since 2016 during Los Angeles’ 27-9 victory in a rematch of last season’s NFC championship game. The much-anticipated matchup changed dramatically when Brees was injured late in the first quarter. His throwing hand collided with Aaron Donald’s outstretched hand while he threw an incompletion on the Saints’ second drive, and the NFL’s career leader in yards passing spent the afternoon on the Coliseum sideline with his thumb heavily wrapped. Teddy Bridgewater went 17 of 30 for 165 yards and Alvin Kamara rushed for just 45 yards for the Saints, who seemed discombobulated without their longtime QB.
Browns catches TD in debut with Patriots MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Antonio Brown caught a 20-yard touchdown pass in his debut for the New England Patriots, and they scored twice on interception returns in a two-minute fourth-quarter span to beat the Miami Dolphins, 43-0. Brown also made an 18yard catch on his first play for the Patriots, who signed him Monday. He finished with 56 yards on four receptions, all in the first half. The NFL allowed the fourtime All-Pro receiver to play despite a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday by his former trainer accusing him of sexually assaulting her on three occasions. The NFL plans to meet with the woman on today.

Princeton girls win team title at own invite for first time since ‘89 By Kevin Chlum SHAW MEDIA
PRINCETON — It was a busy week for La Salle-Peru senior Ashley Heagy, and Saturday was no different. After competing in swimming meets Tuesday and Wednesday, Heagy had double duty Saturday. Heagy started Saturday by leaving the pack well behind her at Princeton’s Gary Invitational at
Zearing Park. She finished the three-mile course in 18:57.98 to win the individual title by nearly two minutes over Knoxville’s Mackenzie Rader, who finished in 20:43.19. “My biggest worry was getting lost because I knew I wanted to take it out pretty fast early on,” Heagy said. “It’s the most confusing course and the lines are hard to see at some parts. “Overall, it went pretty well.
It’s my fastest time this season and second fastest three mile ever. I’ve been doing a lot harder workouts this year with swimming and running. I’ve been having some foot problems (plantar facitis). I’ve been working through that, but it hasn’t bothered me too much when I’m running.” Heagy said her pacing was pretty good, which she attributes to getting a running watch.
“I stayed pretty even through all three miles and that’s what I’ve been trying to work on from last year,” Heagy said. “I finally got a running watch. I’m a big stats gal, so I like to look at all that stuff. It’s been helping me improve on my pacing.” After winning the cross country invite, Heagy traveled to Rock Island to join the La Salle-Peru See GIRLS XC Page B3
Fieldcrest boys win PHS invite for first time By Kevin Chlum SHAW MEDIA
PRINCETON — The Fieldcrest boys cross country team made school history Saturday. With all six of their runners finishing in the top 19, the Knights won Princeton’s Gary Coates Invitational for the first time. Fieldcrest, which has been competing in the event since the program’s inception in 2000, scored 52 points to easily beat second-place La Salle-Peru (93) and the rest of the field. Amboy-LaMoille (132) placed fifth, St. Bede (165) was sixth, Princeton (195) was seventh, Hall (247) was 10th and Mendota (301) was 13th. “It’s the first time in school history we’ve won this meet so we’re pretty excited,” Fieldcrest coach Carol Bauer said. “We’ve really been working on the team aspect and packing up. Our one
to six split was pretty impressive. We find that if we take it out a little bit slower in the first mile or so then move up through the field that really works well for us. It’s certainly was nice to place all six guys in the top 19 with some pretty respectable times.” Junior Victor Echeveste led the Knights as he placed seventh in 17:22.21 followed closely by teammates Andy Wiesenhofer (eighth, 17:29.54) and Christian Skaggs (ninth, 17:30.02). “My strategy was to let everyone go out fast then around the mile and a half or two-mile mark work my way up, keep going and try to catch them at the end,” Echeveste said. Rounding out the runners for the Knights were Andrew SHAW MEDIA PHOTO/SCOTT ANDRESON Gochanour (13, 17:40.38), Ryan Gochanour (15, 17:59.04) La Salle-Peru’s Logan Johnson (No. 341) leads the pack at the start of Saturand Connor Gochanour (19, day’s Gary Coates Invitational in Princeton. Johnson was the top area individual finisher as he placed third, but the Fieldcrest boys team (orange shorts) See BOYS XC Page B3 claimed the team title for the first time.

IVCC women’s tennis has talent pipeline from L-P By Kevin Chlum SHAW MEDIA
Last fall, there was a lot of talk among the La Salle-Peru girls tennis team about where each player was going to college and whether they’d continue their tennis career. It turns out, many of them had the same plans. Four players from last year’s L-P girls tennis team — Grace Filipiak, Tyler Kroll, Nena Perry
and Michelle Windy — are now playing for IVCC. “We talked a lot senior year about us all playing at IVCC together,” said Filipiak, who was co-NewsTribune Girls Tennis Player of the Year as a senior. “Our coaches would ask us where we were going to continue, and we all said we were going to stay local.” Even IVCC sophomore and L-P graduate Karlee Arjes got in on the conversations.
“Every time I saw them I recruited for IVCC,” Arjes said. “I told them they should definitely come here if they’re not ready to move away and go to a four-year. I told them it’s a good program to be in and it’s just very comfortable and not a lot of stress on top of being a freshman and figuring out how to be in college.” Former Lady Cavaliers make up five players on the seven-player roster. “They had a lot of seniors who
were all very, very close,” IVCC coach Julie Milota said. “It’s just a unique group of girls who wanted to stay together. It’s just a really neat group.” GOOD CHEMISTRY Windy said “it’s really comfortable being with familiar people” on the court, and it’s shown in the results so far as the Eagles are 3-1 so far with the only blemSee TENNIS Page B2

When she gets mad, I know how to calm her down, and when I get mad, she can kind of know how to calm me down.” Along with knowing each other’s emotions, the familiarity helps the former Lady Cavs play together on the court. “Our team is really well bonded already,” Filipiak said. “We already know how each other plays. Having an L-P girl as a partner makes it a little easier than starting over with someone else.” For Kroll, having relationships with her teammates helps when she doesn’t play well. “It’s really nice because I’m very familiar with them,” Kroll said. “It’s not awkward when you screw up. You can look for teammates for help.” NOT OUTSIDERS While the five L-P graduates have good chemistry, the former Lady Cavs said Streator graduate Jennifer Romero and Isabel Lueck — who moved to the area from Wisconsin after being homeschooled — have fit in with the group. “I think they were timid because we are very intimidating people and they were very quiet, but I think we’re breaking their shells a little bit,” Perry said. “They’re a lot more socia-

co-op swim team for the Rock Island Relays where she paired with Nicole Pocivasek to place second in the 2-by-100-yard backstroke relay and teamed with Pocivasek, her sister, Peyton, and Cora Walker to take second in the 200 medley relay and third in the 400 freestyle relay. “I haven’t run that much this week,” Ashley Heagy said about her busy schedule. “I’ve only done three workouts this week. My swim meets went really well and I still ran enough this week that I’m fine with it.” While Heagy claimed the individual title, the host Tigresses captured the team crown for the first time in three decades. Led by sophomore Jenna Loftus’ eighth-place finish in 21:33.89, Princeton tallied 60 points to edge the Lady Cavaliers by a point. Also for PHS, Malin Sende placed 10th in 21:45.93, Elizabeth Orwig finished 11th in 21:53.36, Lexi Bohms was 18th in 22:27.05 and Lauren Frost was 33rd in 23:28.79. Amboy-LaMoille took fourth with 96 points, Bureau Valley was eighth with 188, Fieldcrest was 10th with 251. “What a nice day for our team,” PHS coach Pat Hodge said. “It was great to get so many personal bests. I knew our girls could place well, but I certainly wasn’t expecting first place. Jenna, Malin, and Elizabeth bettered their performances from the Oregon Invitational by a decent amount, but the rest of our girls really bumped it up a notch. I knew that we hadn’t won this meet for some time, but I didn’t know until I looked it up that it was our first win at this meet since 1989.” Loftus was running just her second meet of the season as she also plays volleyball. “I think I did pretty good,” Loftus said. “I had no plan. I was just going to follow the pack.” Loftus, who also did double duty in the spring with soccer and track and field, fits in practice runs when she can with her volleyball schedule. “I don’t get to practice (with the cross country team), said Loftus,

I try to run on weekends and some weeknights here at Zearing after volleyball practice when I can.” Senior Margaret Vaessen led Amby-LaMoille as she placed third in 20:55.56. “Princeton is always a fast course,” Vasessen said. “I think I ran pretty well. I tried to keep first place (Heagy) in my sights the whole time. The first two miles I was doing pretty good.
Then I lost her. It’s OK. I lost to her last year and I knew she would come back even better. I’m OK with third.” Vaessen is pleased with how she’s running and is happy with the team’s effort after the Lady Clippers didn’t have enough runners for team scores last fall. “I think I’m right where I need to be,” Vaessen said. “There’s definitely room for improvement. I still have a few hard workouts left to test myself and build up endurance. I know what I have
to do, so I just have to do it now. “I’m very proud of the team. There are four new girls. They’re doing great. Amboy was a really strong team my freshman and sophomore years. We didn’t have a team last year. Coming back my senior year with a whole new team, I think we’re really bringing back the Amboy name.” Hall and St. Bede did not have enough runners for team scores but both had a runner in the top 10 as Hall senior Tea Cattani placed sixth in 21:27.23, while St.
Bede sophomore Brady Mudge finished ninth in 21:39.25. “It went better than I expected actually,” Cattani said. “I’ve been improving by one or two minutes each race and this was kind of the same, so it felt pretty good. “I think I’ve been more determined this year in practices and I’ve been taking it more seriously.”

He went out a little faster than I was thinking. I stuck with my cousin, (AmboyLaMoille’s) Brock (Loftus) for a while.” Loftus finished 10 in 17:32.32. “It went well,” Loftus said. “I could have done better, but it’s still early in the season. I’ll get the times faster the later it gets in the season. “I think I might have went out a little bit too fast because I didn’t have enough left at the end, but it will get better.”

NFL: BEARS 16, BRONCOS 14
Bears’ rocky win in Denver shouldn’t have been that difficult By Hub Arkush SHAW MEDIA
So, it wasn’t all that pretty. In fact, at times the Bears’ visit to Denver Sunday was downright ugly. But at least in the end Bears fans everywhere got a big kick — I guess we could say a huge kick — out of their team’s 16-14 last-second victory over the Broncos and former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. How good was Bears rookie placekicker Eddy Pineiro Sunday? Even though they say nobody can be, he was actually perfect, nailing 42-, 52- and 53yard field goals — with the last coming with no time left on the clock. He also converted his only extra point attempt and boomed all four of his kickoffs out of the back of the end zone. But there was so much more that happened in Denver — some of it good, some uncertain and honestly a lot that is still concerning and disappointing. For the second week in a row, the Bears were unable to muster 275 yards of offense, an extremely meager total by NFL standards. Mitch Trubisky threw
for just 120 yards on 16-of-27, a 4.4-yard average, and it wasn’t because the Broncos didn’t have to worry about defending the run. True to his word, Matt Nagy unleashed his ground game, actually rushing more than he passed with 29 rushes for 153 yards, a 5.3 average, but that’s a bit misleading, as 46 of those yards came on one Cordarrelle Patterson burst around left end. Without it, the Bears averaged just 3.8 yards a pop. It was also very promising that David Montgomery almost certainly cemented a new role as the featured back, with 18 of those carries for a respectable 62 yards and the Bears lone touchdown on an all-effort, yard-anda-half dive. Trubisky was clearly better than he was in Week 1 at home vs. the Packers but not much better, still struggling to find open receivers down the field and also missing several when he did. In the first half, Trubisky did an excellent job of scrambling out of pressure to his right and did a great job of finding Tarik Cohen a step and a half behind a defender about 25 yards downfield, before underthrowing him and turning
six into an incompletion. But then with the game on the line at fourth-and-15 and just nine seconds remaining, he was flawless avoiding pressure in the pocket, patiently reading the field and then throwing a strike to Allen Robinson and getting the clock stopped with one second left for Pineiro’s game-winning bomb. In fairness to the still-young quarterback, more often than not none of his weapons other than Robinson were able to get open and be available, and the offensive line was also better than Week 1 but not perfect. For the second week in a row, Charles Leno had back-to-back holding and hands-to-the-face calls that were drive killers and it took the Bears five cracks on the ground for 4.99 yards from the 4.99 yard line to get their only touchdown. All frustrating to be sure, but it is worth noting that 3-4 weeks from now all we may remember, or at least all we may still be talking about will be Pineiro’s game-winner and that he and Trubisky did what they had to with the game on the line. What may be instructive here is a quick look at how this rocky

One year ago, after blowing a 20-point lead at Green Bay, the Bears came home and put up just 271 yards of offense — two yards less than Sunday — in a 24-17 win over the Seahawks dominated by the Bears defense, as was Sunday.
Yes, there is a ton of work to do and as yet this Bears team has not resembled the club we expected coming out of training camp. But as long as they continue to follow a near-identical path to the one that turned out so well a season ago, it feels like patience is still the more warranted approach than despair at this point in the season.

Find the best deal on a family wireless plan (BPT) - Sharing your wireless plan with family members is a great way to save. It eliminates the hassle of multiple bills and lets you benefit from bundled savings. But choosing the right one requires research: Family plans today come in all shapes and sizes. Consider the following before signing your family up with a new carrier. How much data do you need? The biggest difference in wireless plans is based on your data needs. Since cellphones function more as personal computers than calling devices, data packages drive up the price far more than minutes or texts. Many carriers offer “unlimited” data, which may seem ideal for a family. But unlimited data plans have certain limits. Most carriers give you super-fast LTE data but then slow down
your speeds after you’ve used a certain amount. Instead, calculate your actual data usage. By connecting to Wi-Fi and using other data saving methods, the average person uses less than 3GB of data per month. Once you’re clear on your real data usage, you can choose a more customized plan, and the savings can be substantial. Do you really need the latest phone? Purchasing a few new phones, or even one, can be expensive. Most wireless carriers allow you to bring your own device to their service, if the phone is compatible with their networks. Some carriers will even attempt to entice new customers with “Bring Your Own Phone” incentives, like an extra credit or a free month of a certain plan. This is especially convenient if you’re ready for a new carrier but don’t want
to give up a like-new iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. You can typically switch carriers by removing your existing SIM card and inserting a SIM card obtained from your new carrier. Just be sure you’re using your device with the new provider’s network. To check if your device is compatible, visit the carrier’s website and look for information on bringing your device or swapping SIM cards. Who has the best deal? Every cellphone carrier offers some sort of bundled or family plan. To find the right one for you, focus on the amount of data the packages offer, the monthly charge for each additional line (these will vary), and any additional fees you may incur if you switch. A recent survey by Wirecutter, the New York Times product review website, found the best value as be-
longing to Consumer Cellular. Their monthly per-line charge is a low $15, with no fees for changing plans. Wirecutter highlighted these Consumer Plans as top deals: Q A two-line plan, including unlimited talk and 10GB of shared data for $65 a month, was found to be “the best plan for couples.” Q A four-line plan, with unlimited talk and 20GB of shared data for $105 a month, was selected as “the best plan for a family of four.” If there is more than one person in your household, you really ought to be in a family cellphone plan. You’ll save money over going it alone. Start by deciding on the data you’ll need, then choose a customized plan that’s just right for your needs and your budget.

3 ways to save money when buying a car A new vehicle may be life’s most expensive purchase after buying a home. According to the automotive resource Kelley Blue Book¨, new-vehicle prices increased by 2 percent between April 2018 and April 2019, rising to slightly less than $37,000 in that time. Although some financial variables, like sales tax, may be set in stone, here are some that the resourceful car-buyer can control. 1. Pay the taxes upfront. Buyers will receive from
the dealership a rundown of all costs, including sales taxes. Including sales taxes in the initial down payment can save buyers money in the long run, as they will only pay interest on the vehicle and not the taxes also. 2. Use a cash back credit card. Some (but not all) lenders accept a credit card for making a down payment, and buyers who have cash back credit cards can reduce the initial costs of car-buying by using them to make down payments and/
or pay vehicle taxes. For example, if a card rewards holders with 2 percent cash back on every charged purchase, then 2 percent will be saved on the down payment if the card is used to make the payment (and the credit card bill is paid on time, of course). 3. Carefully read the service contract. Many dealerships offer service contracts that cover certain maintenance costs. Before signing, buyers should read the contract fully to make
sure it isn’t duplicating coverage already provided by the manufacturers’ warranty. Buyers can decline the service contract and have the right to take their time reading it, even though service contracts are often proposed as financing agreements are being finalized, putting pressure on the buyer to accept the package on-site.

Is your checking account right for you? (BPT) - Though often overlooked, checking accounts are actually the backbone of personal finance and money management. Routinely using a checking account can allow people to responsibly spend their money. Because a checking account is so important, it’s critical to find one that works with your lifestyle and is accessible anywhere. When choosing a checking account, here’s what you should look for: 1. Read the small print. Opening a checking account feels like a fairly standard practice, so it’s tempting to overlook the fine print. But that’s where hidden fees and charges often linger. When reading the fine print, focus on how much - and how often - charges will arise. If a financial institution claims to charge no fee on an account, confirm that there aren’t hidden fees that kick in after a certain amount of time. “Look for accounts that are ‘fee-free’ or boast ‘no monthly fees’ so that you ensure your money stays yours,” says Katie Miller, senior vice president of savings products at Navy Federal Credit Union. “It’s worth the time on the front end to save money on needless expenses in the long run.” 2. Access cash anywhere. Consider an account with a financial institution whose ATMs are scattered around the places you frequent. Many accounts offer solutions that make your cash even more accessible like ATM

fee rebates. Sometimes, your bank of choice will charge you a fee to use an unaffiliated ATM; other times, the ATM itself will charge you a fee to access your money. But some accounts allow you to use any ATM, fee-free. Offers like Navy Federal Credit Union’s Free eChecking account pay up to $120 a year in ATM fee rebates. Use any ATM, anywhere, regardless of fees, and receive up to $10 per statement period to cover those expenses. 3. Accomplish your goals with ease. Free eChecking, with which you can access your money with a few touches of your smartphone, is a great option for people who are always on the go. “You should bank the way you live,” continues Miller. “Look for offers that allow you to transfer money between accounts, for when you file away a percentage of your paycheck into your savings account. Select a checking account that takes the work out of managing your budget.” 4. Make your money work for you. Find a checking account that earns you monthly dividends to reward your loyalty and use. “Choosing a checking account that allows your money to earn dividends lets you make money without thinking about it,” says Miller. Some checking accounts even offer built-in money management tools that let you look at your spending to inform future budgeting endeavors.

7 tips for becoming an ethical shopper Shop less often and seek secondhand goods By Lauren Schwan NERDWALLET FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sustainability, labor conditions, politics and other issues prevalent in the news have left many consumers wondering how to be socially responsible. For some, this seems like an impossible task. “Trying to create a perfect world or be a perfect consumer is not at all realistic,” says Dr. Ellis Jones, author of “The Better World Shopping Guide” and assistant professor of sociology at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. Shopping ethically starts with educating yourself and supporting the products and companies that align with your values. Here’s what you can do to become a more ethical consumer. 1. CHECK CERTIFICATIONS AND RATINGS Labels such as “Fair Trade Certified” or “USDA Organic “ signify that a product’s supply chain has gone through some level of vetting. However, standards can vary widely. “It’s not that those labels are meaningless, it’s that their meaning has been watered down,”
Stocks slip as oil, worries surge after Saudi Arabia attack NEW YORK (AP) — Stock markets around the world took an apprehensive step backward Monday after an attack on Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil processing facility sent the price of oil surging. The attack, which Yemeni rebels said they were behind, raised worries about the risk of more disruptions for oil. President Donald Trump warned that the United States was “locked and loaded” to respond as his administration pinned the blame for the attacks on Iran. Crude prices soared 10%, while prices for Treasurys, gold and other investments seen as less risky rose. The S&P 500 was down modestly, and stocks across the New York Stock Exchange were nearly evenly split between winners and losers. Energy stocks climbed with the price of oil, while airlines and other companies that have big oil and fuel bills were sharply lower. The stock market has been volatile since the summer, as worries waxed and waned about the U.S.-China trade war. The move for stocks has been higher the past few weeks, boosted by renewed optimism about easing tensions between Washington and Beijing, and the S&P 500 had climbed back within 1% of its record. The S&P 500 dipped 0.2%, as of 9 a.m., after paring a loss that hit 0.5% shortly after trading opened. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 73 points, or 0.3%, to 27,146, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.3%. Small stocks in the Russell 2000 index were better performers, and it climbed 0.3%. The attack in Saudi Arabia caused a big disruption to oil supplies, but only a temporary one.

Jones says. “Most consumers don’t have enough information to know whether that particular fair trade certification, organic certification or sustainable seafood certification is a weak one or a strong one.” Jones considers the B Corporation Certification , which companies such as Patagonia and Seventh Generation have earned, the current gold standard. It takes a comprehensive look not just at products, but at entire companies’ social and environmental impacts. This includes assessing factors like energy usage and workers’ wages. But the rigorous certification process makes this label harder to find.

Labels such as “Fair Trade Certified ” or “USDA Organic” signify that a product’s supply chain has gone through some level of vetting. However, standards can vary widely. market rather than a large chain. Supporting local businesses or buying locally grown produce is generally better for the environment because it decreases the distance that products have to travel, Taylor says.
to the labor and materials needed to make new goods. Check thrift shops, garage sales and community groups like the Freecycle Network for inexpensive — or free — finds. Another sustainable solution? Rent clothes through services like Le Tote and Rent the Runway.
6. PICK A RESPONSIBLE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION Financial institutions and products are part of the equation, too, Jones says. You can search for a bank or credit union that’s committed to social and environmental values. Community development financial institutions, for example, help underserved consumers build credit and acquire loans. Some credit cards automatically donate to charitable causes .
4. CHOOSE SLOWER ONLINE DELIVERIES Retailers like Amazon have made selecting fast shipping a reflex, but it’s not always the most ethical option. When shopping online, choosing standard shipping over same-day or next-day delivery can ensure multiple items in an order ship together. “For the environment, it reduces packaging and the number of drop-offs, and for customers, it’s just one less box that you need to recycle,” Taylor says. Better yet, shop in person or buy online and pick up in store.
2. SHOP LESS OFTEN Overconsumption takes a toll on our wallets and the planet. Before buying something, think about whether you really need it. If you do, look for options that have a lesser impact, says Casey Taylor, a partner in Bain and Company’s retail practice. Investing in reusable, high-quality or easy-to-repair items can help minimize purchases. 3. SEEK SECONDHAND GOODS When you choose previously owned items, you aren’t contributing
7. BE PREPARED Find small ways to make the ethical choice the easy choice. You can reduce waste by keeping reusable shopping bags or a coffee cup in the car or by the front door. That way, you’ll have them when you need them.
5. SHOP LOCALLY Visit your neighborhood bakery or farmers

After bankruptcy filing, Purdue Pharma may not be off hook in opioid crisis By Geoff Mulvihill ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and its owners expressed sympathy but not responsibility for the nation’s opioid crisis as the company filed for bankruptcy protection late Sunday night, part of a move to settle some 2,600 lawsuits — most from state and local governments. “Like families across America, we have deep compassion for the victims of the opioid crisis,” Sackler family members said in the statement, which called the settlement plan a “historic step towards providing critical resources that address a tragic public health situation.” But the filing may not get either the drugmaker or the Sacklers off the legal hook. About half the states and lawyers representing at least 1,000 local governments have agreed to the tentative settlement, which the company says could be worth $10 billion to $12 billion over time and would include at least $3 billion from the Sackler family. The deal also calls for handing the company over to trustees and giving future profits from OxyContin and drugs in development to creditors. But some of the states that are holding out made
it clear last week that they intend to object to the deal in bankruptcy court and seek to continue their lawsuits against members of the Sackler family in state courts. “My office is prepared to hold the Sackers accountable, regardless of whether or not Purdue declares bankruptcy,” Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said in a statement last week. It will be up to the Robert Drain, the federal bankruptcy judge in White Plains, New York, to sort out what happens now — including whether those state lawsuits against Sackler family members can continue. Even if he stops them, he could consider the claims they raise in his court. For Purdue and the Sacklers, the effort revolves around getting more states to agree to the settlement. “We are hopeful that in time, those parties who are not yet supportive will ultimately shift their focus to the critical resources that the settlement provides to people and problems that need them,” the families of late company owners Mortimer and Raymond Sackler said in their statement. The Sackler family was listed by Forbes magazine in 2016 as one of the 20 wealthiest in the U.S. In a court filing last week, the

Mexican man held by ICE in northern Illinois dies in custody WOODSTOCK, Ill. (AP) — A 37-year-old Mexican man in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a northern Illinois county jail has died. Roberto Rodriguez-Espinoza was pronounced dead Tuesday. ICE officials said in a Thursday news release that he died from subdural hematoma, or when blood pools outside the brain. Rodriguez-Espinoza was taken into ICE custody at the McHenry County jail on Sept. 3 on allegations
he was a gang member. He had convictions for burglary in 2016 and theft in 2008. ICE officials say he was observed “acting confused” and taken to a hospital and diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage. He failed to respond during a neurological exam. A surgeon advised he was unlikely to survive surgery. Federal officials say he’s the eighth person to die in ICE custody during fiscal year 2019.
