Strike ends, Mendota students return to classrooms Teachers’ union votes in favor of contract By Craig Sterrett NEWS EDITOR
MENDOTA — The Mendota teachers’ strike is over, and approximately 1,100 students returned to class this morning in the public elementary school district. On Saturday, a joint statement by the board and the teachers announced a tentative agreement in their contract dispute. Also Saturday, the school district website announced classes would reopen today, and parents should watch the school website for any alterations to the calendar resulting from eight school days lost to the strike. Calendar changes should come during a 6:30 p.m. school board meeting, along with a vote on ratification of the contract and possible pay changes for non-certified staff and administration. No members of the bargaining units were talking publicly as of Saturday and Sunday about how the contract might affect the school budget. Mendota Elementary Association, the Mendota grade school teachers’ union, “overwhelmingly ratified the tentative agreement this morning and the board is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to vote on the contract,” according to the joint statement issued at 11:40 a.m. Saturday. The joint statement, attributed to Mendota school board president Sean Pappas and MEA co-presidents Rachel Sabin and Brandon Scheppers, also noted: “This has been a difficult situation for all involved and it is our hope and commitment that we work together in the future to provide the best education for our students and help our community heal. We are all looking forward to seeing students back in school on Monday. Thank you for your support.” Scheppers said he, Sabin and Pappas met at Northbrook School Saturday morning and See MENDOTA Page A4

Take care of you With stage 4 cervical cancer, Marliss Ventura urges every woman to keep up with routine exams By Kim Shute
BUREAU-PUTNAM BUREAU CHIEF
DEPUE — Filling a prescription may have saved a DePue woman’s life. Marliss Ventura was a busy working mom of an adult son and 4 year-old daughter who just needed to fill her birth control prescription last fall. Her doctor said she needed to come in for her yearly exam before she could get a refill. She never skipped her exams, so, while it was a slight inconvenience in her busy day-to-day life, Ventura scheduled the appointment. The 41 year-old, who said she was healthy and feeling fine was devastated to learn she had stage 4 cervical cancer.
“They did some biopsies and sent them to the Mayo Clinic,” Ventura said. “They said it started in the cervix and the biopsy showed it spread to my uterus and the lining of the vagina.” Ventura said she was sent for a positron emission tomography scan that subsequently showed cancer in her bones and lymph nodes. “I had bone and lymph node biopsies done and it was confirmed stage 4. I had multiple MRIs done and the brain scan was clear, but it’s also in my lower vertebrae and thoracic spine,” she said. Ventura hasn’t been able to work since her treatments began in Peoria, something she is unac-

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS
SANTA ROSA, California (AP) — As nearly 200,000 people remain under evacuation order from threat of wildfire,
some of the millions of people in Northern California on track to get their electricity back may not have power restored before another possible round of shut-offs and debilitating winds. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has notified more than 1.2 million

people that they may have their electricity shut off for what could be the third time in a week and the fourth time this month. Fire conditions statewide made California “a tinderbox,” said Jonathan Cox, a spokesman for the California Department
of Forestry and Fire Protection. Of the state’s 58 counties, 43 were under red flag warnings for high fire danger Sunday. Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in response to the wildfires, powered by gusts that reached more than 102 mph.

Charges filed in fatal boat crash Coroner: Man visiting relatives drowned after fishing boat struck log By Craig Sterrett NEWS EDITOR
HENNEPIN — Investigating a fatal accident over the weekend, Illinois Conservation Police said a boat that crashed into a log after dark on the Illinois River had only one personal flotation device for the five people on board. Area firefighters searched for a little less than two hours Friday and recovered the body of Audiel Trujillo Perez, 53, from Michoacan, Mexico, said Putnam County Death Investigator Bob Cofoid. Illinois Conservation Police Sgt. Phil Wire said Perez was fishing with family members when the accident occurred. Boat operator Audiel Ramirez, 48, of Schiller Park faces charges of operating while under the influence, operating with blood-alcohol content of 0.08 or greater and careless operation of a wa-
tercraft, Wire said. He said citations also were issued to the boat operator for having too many people aboard and not having enough life jackets or flotation devices. Wire said five people in a fishing boat rated for four occupants had gone fishing, working their way downstream about four or five miles from Hennepin. Wire said reportedly the fishing was good, which is why they fished until sunset or after. He said as they were returning to Hennepin, before 7 p.m., the boat struck a log and Perez was ejected into the water. From what he gathered in interviews that lasted until 4 a.m. Saturday, Wire said he believed the boat operator or occupants were not familiar with that stretch of the river and were navigating in the dark or near-dark. Wire said the group searched for 15-20 minutes for the man who went overboard, and then
called 911 around 7:15 p.m. He said the boat received heavy damage and could have sunk. However, the pump on board was working, and they were able to beach the boat. Henry, Hennepin and Standard fire departments responded to the call, along with Putnam and Marshall county sheriff’s departments and PCEMS ambulance crew members. After almost two hours of searching, Henry Fire Department found the body approximately ½ mile downstream from the accident site. Peru Rescue Station also was dispatched to the scene after 8 p.m., and arrived not long before Henry firefighter found the body. Cofoid said the preliminary cause of death is listed as drowning. Cofoid said he is awaiting final results of an autopsy. Toxicology is pending and may take four to six weeks
before completion. Perez was pronounced dead at 10:30 p.m. Friday when the remains were transported to the Hennepin boat launch by Henry Fire Rescue, Cofoid said. Wire said he has to file a report with the U.S. Coast Guard because of injury/fatality and more than $2,000 damage. Illinois Conservation Police took possession of the boat, pending investigation. The boat is a total loss, he said. P.C. Death Investigators Office is awaiting final results from the autopsy. The investigation is continuing with the State of Illinois Conservation Police, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, Putnam County States Attorney’s Office and the Putnam County Death Investigators Office.

However, Friday’s negotiation session, at an agreed-upon neutral location (Mendota High School), started at 4 p.m. Friday’s session ended around 10 p.m. Friday, followed by silence from both sides. “I can’t release any details of the agreement until the board ratifies, all I can say is the MEA met this morning and unanimously ratified the contract,” Scheppers said late Saturday morning when contacted by the NewsTribune. Pappas said he could not go into any details of the contract, either. Both he and Scheppers confirmed that both sides gave a little bit of ground during the strike. “We’re excited to be back in our classrooms, we’re excited
to see our students,” Scheppers said. “I think both sides came to a mutual agreement last night and both seemed to be happy with the agreement and to have an end to this.” Scheppers added: “I can’t speak for the board, I can only speak for our members.” He also said the MEA members would like to extend their gratitude to the community members and businesses “that supported us throughout this process.” “I’m glad that it’s over and that the students are back in school,” Pappas said.

OTTAWA — Moments after he was found guilty Thursday of attempted murder of a police officer, armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, William Webb told Judge Cynthia Raccuglia he wanted to get post-trial motions completed as soon as possible. Webb, 53, represented him-
self in the four-day jury trial, in which he was found guilty Thursday afternoon following a roughly two-hour deliberation by jurors. Raccuglia set a hearing for 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 26, to settle any post-trial motions. Webb has a 30-day deadline to appeal the verdict. “I’ll have it done as soon as possible,” Webb told the court. “I can have my paperwork done in a matter of days.” In August 2016, Webb robbed the Circle K gas station on Streator’s South Side, charged at a police officer, then opened fire at him.
The officer was not injured. Webb was found moments later near a tree wearing dark clothing, a ski mask and latex gloves in the middle of summer. The gun was found near him, along with the ski mask that was a DNA match to him, experts testified. Once officers found Webb, they asked him if he was hit, and he said no, then the officer asked “why did you shoot at me?” to which Webb answered, “To get you out of my way.” “The defendant made the awful and ugly decision to point a gun at someone ... and he
pulled the trigger,” said prosecutor Greg Sticka during his closing arguments Thursday. “It’s attempted murder.” In his closing argument, Webb tried to discredit police testimony, pointing out photographs were not taken of all the evidence and questioning how an officer found the gun and ski mask in the “pitch dark” he documented in the police report. He questioned why the two other officers didn’t put his response “to get you out of my way,” he said can be interpreted as a confession, in See GUILTY Page A5

Wedron air quality deemed safe, residents still have questions By Michael Urbanec SHAW MEDIA
WEDRON — Air quality concerns were raised in the past few years in Wedron due to the town’s proximity to the Wedron Silica Mines, now run by Covia, but the officials told residents this month they didn’t find a significant amount of crystalline silica dust or particulate matter to affect residents’ health. Illinois EPA and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry spoke to Wedron citizens Thursday night to discuss the results of a study done on their air quality. “Your healtlh is not likely to be impacted by breathing the levels of particulate matter that are found in Wedron,” said Motria Caudill, a scientist with the ATSDR’s Chicago office. “Studies have shown a slight increased risk to sensitive populations at low levels of exposures.” Caudill said the levels of crystalline silica shown in their air monitoring from Oct. 5 to Dec. 3, 2016, shouldn’t cause issues. High levels of particulate matter can cause issues, but tests in Wedron didn’t test high enough
to see those risks, according to officials. The Illinois EPA also addressed Wedron’s water issues that date back to the last few years. The Wedron well water from six homes was found to be contaminated with benzene, according to a Times article from 2013. The source of water contamination appears to be the site of the former Hoxsey gas station, the NewsTribune was told in 2017 by Greg Rudloff, environmental scientist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hoxsey operated as a store and gas station from the late 1920s to 1977, when fire destroyed the store. Greg Dunn, the manager of the Illinois EPA’s Project Management Section, said the options they are looking at right now involve either hooking Wedron up to Ottawa’s water system or drilling additional wells outside of town. “(Drilling additional wells) is more problematic because we know we have clean water but we can only get so many people on each well,” Dunn said. “Once
you have multiple people on the same well, you run into some other regulations.” Dunn said they are conducting a soil gas test in November to search for volatile chemicals such as those found in gasoline. The benzene was Ken Wyse moved to Wedron in 1999 and from the moment he and his wife moved there they both came up with health issues they’d never had before. “When I bought my home in ‘99 I thought I was buying my dream home,” Wyse said. “A couple years after I started finding out all this and it really scared me. “I bought a nice piece of property there and I’m concerned about my property value going down.” Between the air quality issues and the water problem that has since been attacked with a filtration system for the affected homes, Wyse said he’s had Realtors look at his property and they wouldn’t touch it. The EPA and the registry both said they are planning for a follow up meeting after the soil gas study is finished but a date was not given.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Elaine Flowers, a native of Ottawa, followed family into the military. “All of my siblings were in the military, and I wanted to continue the tradition,” Flowers said. Now, four years after joining the Navy, Flowers serves with the Scorpions of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 132, working with the Navy’s premier electronic attack aircraft at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington. “Life is busy in the squadron, and very high-pace,” said Flowers. “The people are awesome here, and the leadership is incredible to help us in our careers. The travel opportunities are also great.” Flowers, a 2013 graduate of Ottawa High School, is an aviation structural mechanic with VAQ 132, a high-tech electronic attack squadron capable of altering the outcome of any engagement with the EA-18G “Growler.” “I orginally worked on helicopters, but I transitioned to the EA-18G here,” said Flowers. “I work on structural systems, managing corosion, etc.” Flowers credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in Ottawa. “I played soccer in high school, and that taught me a lot of discipline and hard work ethic, as well as leadership,” said Flowers. “These are all important in the Navy.” VAQ 132’s primary mission is to conduct airborne electronic warfare while embarked with a carrier air wing. They deploy aboard aircraft carriers and to airbases around the world to project electronic attack dominance anywhere in the world at any time. This includes suppression of enemy radar systems, sensor jamming and electronic protection. The EA-18G “Growler” is the most advanced airborne electronic attack (AEA) platform in production today, according to Navy officials. The Navy invests in advanced “Growler” capabilities to ensure it continues to protect all strike aircraft during high-threat missions for decades to come. “The fast-pace that is involved with working on EA-18Gs is a cool experience,” said Flowers.
“Everyone has to work together to get them fixed and in the air.” “Serving in the Navy means getting to be a part of something bigger than myself,” said Flowers. “To give time, energy and effort into being a part of protecting our country. The Navy is all about leaving something better than when you found it, and that has been a great value to me.”

US budget deficit reaches nearly $1 trillion. Does it matter?
Opioid-crisis dislocated worker grant takes much-needed action
By Martin Crutsinger
AP ECONOMICS WRITER
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration reported a river of red ink Friday. The federal deficit for the 2019 budget year surged 26% from 2018 to $984.4 billion — its highest point in seven years. The gap is widely expected to top $1 trillion in the current budget year and likely remain there for the next decade. The year-over-year widening in the deficit reflected such factors as revenue lost from the 2017 Trump tax cut and a budget deal that added billions in spending for military and domestic programs. Forecasts by the Trump administration and the Congressional Budget Office project that the deficit will top $1 trillion in the 2020 budget year, which began Oct. 1. And the CBO estimates that the deficit will stay above $1 trillion over the next decade. Those projections stand in contrast to President Donald Trump’s campaign promises that even with revenue lost initially from his tax cuts, he could eliminate the budget deficit with cuts in spending and increased growth generated by the tax cuts.

“It’s not just something that we’re talking about,” said Vera Hoffeditz, community services and food pantry coordinator for Tri-County Opportunities Council. Hoffeditz also serves on the NCI Works workforce board, so she was familiar with the grant application. TCOC already has been helping La Salle-based Perfectly Flawed Foundation, which also will have a new staff member paid for by BEST Inc. through the grant. Hoffeditz said Perfectly Flawed has built a reputation that it is a trusted location and organization for families and opioid-dependent individuals to come to if they need help or support. Even before the grant, TCOC occasionally was working with Perfectly Flawed to help people who are in various stages of
treatment or recognition of a drug problem. At times, their problem can be unknown to most people other than their closest family members or friends, and Perfectly Flawed can help them find resources and the help they need. Hoffeditz said some of the assistance TCOC can provide include informing people about treatment opportunities, providing rides to treatment or workplaces, budgeting lessons or programming, or assistance in purchasing clothing or items needed for work such as medical scrubs or steel-toed boots. Man lives are negatively impacted by the drug crisis. Now, so many more will see some hope once the grant is put into action.
WHAT HAPPENED? The deficit has been rising every year for the past four years. It’s a stretch of widening deficits not seen since the early 1980s, when the deficit exploded with President Ronald Reagan’s big tax cut. For 2019, revenues grew 4%. But spending jumped at twice that rate, reflecting a deal that Trump reached with Congress in early 2018 to boost spending. WHY DOESN’T WASHINGTON DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? Fiscal hawks have long warned of the economic dangers of running big government deficits. Yet the apocalypse they fear never seems to happen, and the government just keeps on spending. There have been numerous attempts by presidents after Reagan to control spending. President George H.W. Bush actually agreed to a tax increase to control deficits when he was in office, breaking his “Read my lips” pledge not to raise taxes. And a standoff between President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich did produce a rare string of four years of budget surpluses from 1998 through 2001. In fact, the budget picture was so bright when George W. Bush took office in 2001 that the Congressional Budget Office projected that the government would run surpluses of $5.6 trillion over the next decade. That didn’t happen. The economy slid into a mild recession, Bush pushed through a big tax cut and the war on terrorism sent military spending surging. Then the 2008 financial crisis erupted and triggered a devastating recession. The downturn produced the economy’s first round of trillion-dollar deficits under President Barack Obama and is expected to do so again under Trump.

Uneasy tension between GOP Goofus, Gallant One is profane, the other devout. One is unpredictable, the other thoroughly predictable. One is an outsider, the other an insider. One flouts family values, the other flaunts them. One is deliberately unconventional, the other studiously convenDavid tional. Both Shribman won a New NEWSPAPER Hampshire ENTERPRISE primary. But AFFILIATE only one of them won the White House. Donald J. Trump and Mitt Romney — both professed teetotalers, both with business degrees, both with commercial success and business values, both with peculiar Twitter affectations — increasingly sit atop rival factions of the Republican Party. The size of those two factions is not comparable; Trump’s is vastly larger. But Romney, who is not temperamentally inclined to confrontation or conflict and who is not by nature an insurrectionist, poses a serious threat to Trump, and the president knows it. This month he denigrated Romney as a “pompous ass” and called for him to be impeached. This week Romney indicated he was open to the possibility of voting to convict Trump in the Senate if the House, as is nearly certain, votes to impeach him. The two have sparred for years. Romney wrote in his wife for president rather than vote for Trump. Once elected, Trump interviewed Romney for secretary of state, perhaps primarily
to have the opportunity to reject him. But as much as Romney prefers the high ground, it is incontrovertible that Trump occupies the White House grounds. Apart from their different world views — it is inconceivable, for example, that Romney would question the value of NATO, just as it was inevitable that Trump would — they fill vastly different categories in the Meyers-Briggs personality profiles. Trump considers Romney a wimp. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts now occupying a Senate seat from Utah, considers Trump a vulgarian. At times they are both right. Trump spoke recently about the critique that his comportment isn’t considered presidential. “It’s much easier being presidential, it’s easy,” he said in Dallas, before 20,000 supporters. “All you have to do is act like a stiff.” Romney personifies uber-stiffness. When he was running for president in 2012, he recalled turning to his wife and saying, “In your wildest dreams, did you see me running for political office?” She responded: “Honey, you weren’t in my wildest dreams.” That was one of those moments when people laughed less because it was funny than because it rang true. As a result, a close Romney associate told me that his mini-revolt against the president is “the first irresponsible thing he’s ever done.” This is what that sounds like: “The places where I would be most critical of the president would be in matters that were divisive, that appeared to be appealing to racism or misogyny,” he said in an interview for Axios on HBO. “And those are the kinds of things I think that have been [the] most harmful long-term to the foundation of
America’s virtuous character.” These two men are the most different successive winners of the Republican presidential nomination since the party’s choices in 1916 and 1920: Charles Evans Hughes (a cultivated Brown-educated governor of New York and Supreme Court justice) and Warren G. Harding (a raucous serial adulterer more suited to the presidency of a fraternity than of a newly minted world power, one so inarticulate that H.L. Mencken said his rhetoric “reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights”). The difference between the two pairs of successive GOP nominees: Harding actually did choose Hughes as his secretary of state, positioning him for even greater influence, because later Herbert Hoover selected Hughes as chief justice, and he occupied that post with distinction for nearly a dozen years. “He took his seat at the center of the court with a mastery, I suspect, unparalleled in the history of the court,” said Justice Felix Frankfurter. Nothing remotely like that would happen today, a century after Harding’s awkward overture to Hughes. Instead, Romney increasingly is regarded as the center of the (currently infinitesimal) Republican resistance to Trump. But in recent weeks, an odd consensus has gathered, and it envelops both Republicans and Democrats: Trump is supremely safe at the moment; the chance of 20 Republicans voting to convict, and thus remove him from office, is about equal to the likelihood of the Cincinnati Bengals (record: 0-7) winning the Super Bowl, or even defeating the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. That
is how things stand now. But according to this bipartisan theory, if Romney stands firm, and if new revelations prompt fresh qualms among Republican lawmakers who harbor them privately already, Trump’s Senate support — now wide but not deep — could collapse in hours, and senators could insulate themselves from the president’s rhetoric and rage by acting in concert. Some Republicans hold out the (vain) hope that Romney will mount a challenge to the president in New Hampshire next February. But the senator has run two New Hampshire primaries (losing to Sen. John McCain in 2008, prevailing in 2012), and he does not have the taste for a third, particularly against an incumbent president, even one with a 42 percent approval rating in the state. Some veterans of the Republican write-in campaign of 1964 that gave Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge the Granite State primary that year still rumble around in Republican circles in New Hampshire, but the most prominent among them told me the other day that there is little prospect for a repeat of that effort. Indeed, Romney has no inclination to visit the state, despite his particular fondness for Lake Winnipesaukee. “People will recognize that character really is important in our leaders and that it’s important for our leaders to do things that unify us, that welcome people who come here legally as immigrants, that in no way signal to anybody in America that they’re less of an American because of where they came from or their sexual orientation or their race or their religion,” Romney said in the Axios interview. Trump sees the world differently.

‘The real price of war’ Deep-sea explorers seek out sunken World War II ships By Caleb Jones
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
MIDWAY ATOLL, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (AP) — Deep-sea explorers scouring the world’s oceans for sunken World War II ships are focusing in on debris fields deep in the Pacific, in an area where one of the most decisive battles of the time took place. Hundreds of miles off Midway Atoll, nearly halfway between the United States and Japan, a research vessel is launching underwater robots miles into the abyss to look for warships from the famed Battle of Midway. Weeks of grid searches around the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands have already led the crew of the Petrel to one sunken warship, the Japanese ship the Kaga. This week, the crew is deploying equipment to investigate what could be another. Historians consider the Battle of Midway an essential victory for the U.S. and a key turning point in World War II. “We read about the battles, we know what happened. But when you see these wrecks on the bottom of the ocean and everything, you kind of get a feel for what the real price is for war,” said Frank Thompson, a historian with the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, D.C., who is onboard the Petrel. “You see the damage these things took, and it’s humbling to watch some of the video of these vessels because they’re war graves.” Until now, only one of the seven ships that went down in the June 1942 air and sea battle — five Japanese vessels and two American — had been located. The expedition is an effort started by the late Paul Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft. For years, the crew of the 250-foot Petrel has worked with the U.S. Navy and other officials around the world to find and document sunken ships. It is illegal to otherwise disturb the underwater U.S. military gravesites, and their exact coordinates are kept secret. The Petrel has found 31 vessels so far. This is the first time it has looked for warships from the Battle of Midway, which took place six months after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and left more than 2,000 Japanese and 300 Americans dead. The attack from the Japanese Imperial Navy was meant to be a surprise, a strike that would give Japan a strategic advantage in the Pacific. It was thwarted when U.S. analysts decoded Japanese messages and baited their enemy into revealing its plan. As Japanese warplanes started bombing the military installation at Midway Atoll, a tiny group of islands about 1,300 miles (2,090 kilometers) northwest of Honolulu, U.S. forces were already on their way to intercept Japan’s fleet. U.S. planes sank four of Japan’s aircraft carriers and a cruiser, and downed dozens of its fighter planes. One of the American ships lost was the USS Yorktown, an aircraft carrier that was heavily damaged and being towed by the U.S. on the battle’s final day when it was hit by torpedoes.

High frequency sonar image of the flagship Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi is shown aboard the research vessel Petrel off Midway Atoll in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The crew of the Petrel confirmed the ship was the Akagi based on its measurements and location The other, the USS Hammann, went down trying to defend the Yorktown. Retired Navy Capt. Jack Crawford, who recently turned 100, was among the Yorktown’s 2,270 survivors. Japanese dive bombers left the Yorktown badly damaged, with black smoke gushing from its stacks, but the vessel was still upright. Then the torpedoes hit, Crawford told The Associated Press by telephone from his home in Maryland. “Bam! Bam! We get two torpedoes, and I know we’re in trouble. As soon as the deck edge began to go under, I knew . she wasn’t going to last,” said Crawford, whose later military career was with the naval nuclear propulsion program. He also served as deputy assistant secretary for nuclear energy in the Department of Energy. The Yorktown sank slowly, and a destroyer was able to pick up Crawford and many others. In May 1998, almost 56 years later, an expedition led by the National Geographic Society in conjunction with the U.S. Navy found the Yorktown 3 miles (5 kilometers) below the surface. Crawford doesn’t see much value in these missions to find lost ships, unless they can get some useful information on how the Japanese ships went down. But he wouldn’t mind if someone was able to retrieve his strongbox and the brand-new sword he left in it when he and others abandoned ship 77 years ago. He was too far away to see the Kaga go down.

After receiving some promising sonar readings, the Petrel used underwater robots to investigate and get video. It compared the footage with historical records and confirmed this week it
had found the Kaga. The other three Japanese aircraft carriers — the Akagi, Soryu and Hiryu — and the Japanese cruiser Mikuma are still unaccounted for. The Petrel crew hopes to find and survey all the wreckage from the entire battle, an effort
that could add new details about Midway to history books. Earlier this year, they discovered the USS Hornet, an aircraft carrier that helped win the Battle of Midway but sank in the Battle of Santa Cruz near the Solomon Islands less than five See SHIPS Page A8

Formerly successful woman feels like a failure
Retailers pull Johnson’s baby powder after recall Drug Administration notified the company that routine testing discovered the asbestos in one bottle bought from an online retailer. The 22-ounce bottle came from a lot distributed in 2018. Johnson & Johnson is working with the FDA to investigate how the asbestos got into the single bottle, including whether it was tampered with. J&J advised consumers to stop using any bottles from the lot, #22318RB.

Walmart, CVS and Rite Aid have pulled some or all 22-ounce bottles of Johnson’s baby powder from shelves to avoid confusing consumers, after a minuscule amount of asbestos was found in one bottle.

because it is a growing demographic, and there’s a good chance that this group of people may remember you fondly and feel comforted by your presence as they figure out this stage in their lives. Most important is for you to believe that you are still a valuable member of society. Dear Harriette: I got my annual performance review, and it was not good. I knew that this past year was rough for me. We had a couple of new projects that I was assigned to manage, and they didn’t go well. My boss said that we need to set some markers for getting on track so that we can see if I am able to stay in my job. He didn’t say it exactly like that, but it felt like a warning. The evaluation was clear and direct. Now I’m not sure what to do. What if I can’t do it? — Doubting Myself Dear Doubting Myself: Consider how you will go about tackling each concern. Request a follow-up meeting with your boss. In this meeting, ask for the opportunity to work closely with him to reach the agreed-upon goals. If you become proactive, including asking for support, your self-doubt may diminish. You have a chance to fix your mistakes. Stay focused on that.
Service group commissions statue of Sully Bush COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — A charity that trains service dogs for disabled veterans has commissioned a statue of the late George H.W. Bush’s service dog for the 41st president’s library. America’s VetDogs has commissioned sculptor Susan Bahary to create the bronze statue of Sully for placement in the east wing of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University. VetDogs President John Miller says the statue will depict Sully sitting with his leash in his mouth, the “retrieve” task VetDogs trains its dogs to perform. It will show Sully wearing his America’s VetDogs vest with the Great Seal of the United States on its back. The yellow Labrador golden retriever assisted the former president for the last six months of his life before Bush’s death last November at age 94.

Blackhawks end skid
Area runners battle cold, rain to advance
CHICAGO (AP) — Dylan Strome and Alex DeBrincat have known each other since they were high-scoring junior teammates starting in 2014. On Sunday night, that familiarity paid off again at a higher level. Strome had two goals and assisted on linemate DeBrincat’s score to help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Sunday to end a four-game skid. DeBrincat set up both of Strome’s goals as the two former offensive whizzes of Ontario Hockey League’s Erie Otters clicked again and sparked Chicago’s attack. “We kind of find each other pretty easily” Strome said. “We were excited before the game to get back together. He’s obviously a great player. Tonight he found me a few times and I paid him back with one in the slot. Nice to be back on his line.” David Kampf and Drake Caggiula also scored as the Blackhawks bounced back after they were shut out in Carolina on Saturday and managed just two goals in their previous three games. Strome and DeBrincat were successful together last season for the Blackhawks after Strome arrived in a trade from Arizona in late November. They skated on the wings with Ryan Carpenter at center on Sunday, the first time they’ve been on the same line this season. “A little bit of a reset, I think,” DeBrincat said. “We know what we can do together. Trying to play some good, smart hockey. Get some confidence back and carry it into the next game. It wasn’t going in there for a while, and we got bounces today.” Robin Lehner made 38 saves and lost a bid for his first shutout with Chicago when Sean Walker scored early in the third period.

On a chilly, overcast day in Seneca, the Class 1A Regional began with the girls heading out on the course, and by the time the boys took off, rain entered into the mix. Though it was a cold day for
spectators, it was a perfect day to run, and when everyone was huddled up in the FFA building for the awards ceremony, it turned out to be a great day for area runners. Five local boys teams, two area girls teams, one boy and two girls advanced to Saturday’s Oregon Sectional.
Marquette’s Lucas Hoffman was the individual champion as he ran a 17:10 to win by a little more than 14 seconds. “It was great to win the regional and I’m happy to be out here and looking forward to the next couple weeks,” Hoffman said. “My training has paid off. I felt good today. It was a little
rough through the woods, but I just pushed through it and it turned out well. “I will be easing off (my training) and trying to rest up for the events because I know next week’s course is difficult too and I don’t want to risk injury. I just want to stay healthy and do the See SENECA Page B2

‘It’s been a long time coming for us’
Siakam, Anunoby lead Raptors over Bulls CHICAGO (AP) — Pascal Siakam is trying to adjust to the attention opponents are giving him now that Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green are no longer around in Toronto. The fourth-year power forward is certainly providing offense. He just needs to cut back on the turnovers. Siakam scored 19 points, OG Anunoby added 17 and the Raptors spoiled Chicago’s home opener by beating the Bulls 108-84 on Saturday night. The defending NBA champions went on a run in the second quarter to take a 48-40 halftime lead and pulled away for their 10th straight win over the cold-shooting Bulls. Anunoby hit three 3-pointers, and Serge Ibaka added 18 points and seven rebounds. Fred VanVleet scored 16. Wendell Carter Jr. led Chicago with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Zach LaVine scored 11 after averaging 26.5 over the first two games. Lauri Markkanen struggled again, finishing with nine points for the second straight night. The 7-footer from Finland shot 3 of 10 after going 4 for 15 in a loss at Memphis.

L-P draws Rochester; Princeton, Fieldcrest get home games; Hall traveling to Peotone By Kevin Chlum
NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS EDITOR
The La Salle-Peru football team has waited 10 years to get back into the IHSA playoffs. And the Cavaliers didn’t even get to see the revelation of the brackets live. There were problems with the live stream at L-P’s viewing party in the school auditorium, but the Cavs weren’t any less excited to find out who they were playing in
their first trip to the postseason since 2009. “We never got the stream to go through, but as soon as it posted on Twitter, the kids went crazy, of course,” L-P coach Jose Medina said. “It’s been a long time coming for us. They were excited. They’re going to be ready to go.” While the Cavs are experiencing the playoffs for the first time in a decade, their opponent is very familiar with postseason success. The Cavs (5-4) earned the No. 15
seed in the Class 5A south bracket and will travel to No. 2 Rochester (8-1) at 3 p.m. Saturday. The Rockets won seven Class 4A state championships from 2010-17 and lost in the 4A semifinals last year. Rochester, a school of 770 students, is playing in Class 5A for the first time after 13 consecutive playoff appearances in Class 4A. The Rockets won their first eight games before losing 56-26 to Chatham Glenwood (9-0) in
the regular season finale. Rochester averages 52.3 points per game, scored 55 points or more five times and scored a season-high 71 in Week 3. “They’re a very good program,” Medina said. “We’re going to prepare and get ready for the challenge at hand. That’s the purpose of the playoffs. You fight for nine weeks to try to get in and when you do the records don’t matter.” See PLAYOFFS Page B3

La Salle-Peru senior Logan Johnson knew he’d be in for a battle against Morris senior Tony Pethtel. But Johnson had the advantage of running on his home course. “Oh yeah,” Johnson said about running at Baker Lake being an advantage. “Over on the berm I knew to go to the left of it. I knew some tricks and things to go a little faster on this course.” Johnson capitalized on his knowledge of the course to beat Pethtel for the title. Johnson ran a 16:08 to Pethtel’s 16:16. “I knew I had a shot, but I knew Tony is a heck of a runner and it would be a close race,” Johnson said. “It’s awesome (to win the title). We started to relax on the workouts last week, so we came in
fresh to this race. I came out really strong. The cold weather felt nice.” Johnson’s individual crown was part of big day for L-P as the boys team won the championship, while senior Ashley Heagy won the girls title. Sophomore Ryan Hartman didn’t finish far behind Johnson as he placed third in 16:49. “It feels great,” Hartman said. “I just wanted to stay ahead of the Morris guys and try to stick with Logan as long as I could, and that really helped.” The L-P boys tallied 44 points to beat second-place Morris (44) and advance to the Bloomington Sectional. “All the hard workouts we’ve done the last couple months, this proved that they’re helping,” said Johnson, who is shooting for a top 10 finish at the sectional. “We’re ready for the sectional now.”
Rounding out L-P’s top five runners were sophomore Nollen Abriam (eighth in 17:12), senior Matthew Robinson (15th in 17:43) and sophomore Matthew Beard (17th in 17:54). “It means a lot,” Hartman said about winning the team title. “All the guys ran well.” Heagy ran to a dominant victory in the girls race as she finished in 18:16 - 1:24 ahead of second place Samantha Barrett, of Marian Catholic. “It was good,” said Heagy, who is hoping to place top five at the sectional. “Looking at the times and stuff (before the race), I knew I would kind of be out front, so I was trying to stay comfortable the whole race. “I went out faster than I wanted to.

WORLD SERIES GAME 5: ASTROS 7, NATIONALS 1
Road teams win first five in Series for third time By Ronald Blum
AP BASEBALL WRITER
WASHINGTON — The highlight film of this year’s World Series could be a double feature with all those Bob Hope/Bing Crosby movies: “On the Road.” For just the third time in Series history, the visiting team has won the first five games. “We play the villain pretty well,” Washington right fielder Adam Eaton said. In a tale of two cities, the Nationals outscored the Astros 17-7 in the first two games at Minute Maid Park last week. After the travel day, Houston had a capital time in Washington, outscoring the Nats 19-3. Road-field advantage? “I think I would have rather played the last three games on the road, with the outcome,” Washington shortstop Trea Turner said with a chuckle. This is the first time the road team won the first five games since 1996, when the Braves rocked the New York Yankees by a combined 16-1 in two games to spurt ahead on the road, lost the final three games played at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, then were beaten in Game 6 in the Bronx. Going back to the Windy City Series of 1906, when the home team alternated each day, the Chicago White Sox won Games 1, 3 and 5 at the West Side Grounds and the Cubs took Games 2 and 4 at South Side Park. The White Sox finally gave the home faithful something to cheer in Game 6, bursting to a six-run lead and winning 8-3. This year, 18 of the 30 teams had winning records at home during the regular season, and overall clubs were 1,286-1,143 at home for a .529 winning percentage, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Home clubs then went 17-13 in the postseason through the League Championship Series. But the World Series has been a bon voyage of late. Including Boston’s victories at Dodger Stadium in Games 4 and 5 last year, visiting teams have won

best I can. The goal is to be allstate.” Also moving on to the Oregon Sectional were a host of boys teams with Amboy-LaMoille leading the way by placing second followed by St. Bede in fourth, Princeton in fifth, Hall in sixth and Henry-Midland grabbing the final spot in seventh. Mendota narrowly missed advancing by finishing eighth. The Clippers had three in the top 10 with Brock Loftus leading the pack by taking second in 17:24. Kyler McNinch (18:17) and Ian Eller (18:18) took eighth

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa walks off the field after Game 5 of the World Series against the Washington Nationals on Sunday in Washington. The Astros won 7-1 to take a 3-2 lead in the series. seven straight World Series games for the first time. Washington first baseman Ryan Zimmerman doesn’t get carried away over the trend. “I don’t think home and road matters in baseball, other than the walk-off, obviously,” he said, “During the season when you’re home for a 10-game homestand and you get to sleep in your bed and other teams are maybe on a long road trip, but during the playoffs you have off days.” Washington and Houston looked like two different teams after the change of ballparks. The Astros stranded 20 at home and were 3 for 17 with runners in
scoring position, then went 7 for 21 with RISP in D.C. “I just know that the off day for us really helped us reset, maybe kind of stopped pressing a bit,” Houston leadoff hitter George Springer said. After going 7 for 21 with runners in scoring position on the road, the Nationals were 1 for 21 at home. “We took a pretty heavy punch in the gut when it came to the first two games,” Astros manager AJ Hinch said. “The Nats came out hot. They won a close game, then they blew us out late. And then you take a step back, and you’re like, we’re still in the
World Series and it’s still a race to four wins. You win that first win. I said that: I think the vibe was going to start to pick up a little bit.” Some players have said over the years that it’s easier playing on the road, without the distraction of dealing with well-intentioned but time-consuming family and friends. Nationals manager Dave Martinez didn’t think there was an advantage to being cosseted in a hotel. “I’m not a big room service guy,” he said. “I like to go out and eat. Houston has got some pretty good restaurants that I like.” Home teams are 43-24 in
Game 6, winning five of the last six. The exception was 2016, when the Cubs overcame a 3-1 Series deficit and took the final two games in Cleveland for their first championship since 1908. Eaton views the Nationals as road warriors, recalling a threegame sweep at Chicago’s Wrigley Field in August filled with attitude — perhaps even a bit of road rage. “We kind of had a chip on our shoulder, wanting to go in there and prove something,” he said. “We’re going back to their place where we’ve had some success. Hopefully we can have that villain mentality and come together as a group.”
and ninth, respectively. Beau Bonnell led the Bruins as he placed 15th in 18:52. Following him were Michael Dittmar (16th, 19:00), Daneil Dugosh (17th, 19:01), Anthony Hernandez (20th, 19:07) and Logan Zeglis (29th, 20:03). “We are very excited to move on,” St. Bede coach Marty Makransky said. “It was always one of our goals to get out of regionals and get to sectionals. We are planning on running the same training and run the same as we do the regular weeks to prepare for next week. It’s a top-notch sectional and it’s going to be great competition. We will need our best run to move on, but we are really coming together. We
run with a pack mentality as we don’t have any one individual out in front and today we packed it in tight. If they can do that next week, we have a shot.” Following the Bruins was Princeton led by Reece Bohms (18:38) and Mack Williams (19:06) in the top 20 in 12th and 19th place, respectively. Kaden Crowther led Hall as he finished 18 in 19:00, while P.J. Ehrat paced the Timberducks as he finished 25th in 19:47. “We are very happy for the kids,” Hall coach Tom Keegan said. “Like everyone, a lot of them had some nicks and dings, but they have been through the ringer this year and there has been some turnover in our roster with who
has been here and who hasn’t. These kids have been through the thick and thin of it and are getting rewarded for their efforts today and its nice to see. Hopefully, we’ll get a nice day on Saturday and get out and compete.” Putnam County freshman Wyatt Grimshaw ran a 19:43 to place 27th and earn the final qualifying spot. In the girls race, AmboyLaMoille and Princeton claimed team spots. The Lady Clippers were led by senior Margaret Vaessen, who finished seventh in 21:27, while the Tigresses were paced by freshman Lexi Bohms, who placed ninth in 21:33. Rounding out the scorers for the Tigresses were Elizabeth
Orwig (25th, 23:07), Jenna Loftus (26th, 23:57), Hannah Muehlschlegel (30th, 24:34) and Elana Martinez (32nd, 24:59) Hall had a pair of individuals advance as Tea Cattani placed 15 in 22:02 and Yovanna Reyes took 23 in 22:32 to earn the final advancing spot. “It feels pretty good to move on,” Cattani said. “It has been my biggest goal coming into the season and now seeing it happen is really nice. The course was better than I anticipated, I have really bad shin splints and I thought the big hills would be an issue, but only my right leg hurt, so it was fine. We’ll work this week on strengthening my legs and making sure I’m healthy and ready to go.”

Pijanowski said. “At first, it was really rough, but with one mile left I just gave it all I had because this race was really important.” For Ossola, the regional was her final high school race as she’ll have to miss the sectional in order to take the SAT. “I think I went out a little hard, but it’s OK,” Ossola said. “It’s my last race so I wanted to get the team points.” Kevin Chlum can be reached at 220-6939, or at kchlum@ shawmedia.com.

THREE MOMENTS THAT MATTERED 1. Trailing by a point with four seconds on the clock, Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro missed a 41yard field goal attempt, wide left. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky had led the Bears down field in the final two minutes to give themselves a chance. The Bears elected to take a knee to set up the field goal, rather than take a shot at the end zone. 2. After leading, 9-7, at halftime, the Bears drove 75 yards on the first possession after halftime to score a touchdown and extend their lead. Trubisky connected with Allen Robinson for a 31-yard gain before David Montgomery ran the ball in on a 4-yard touchdown score. It was exactly what the Bears needed after halftime and following some first-half struggles in the red zone. 3. Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller intercepted a pass for the Bears defense in the first quarter. Takeaways were something the Bears defense missed last week in a loss to New Orleans. Fuller nearly took the ball back to the end zone, too. He set up the Bears offense at the 4-yard line. Trubisky and the offense couldn’t punch it in, but Eddy

NORTH BOONE (5-4) AT FIELDCREST (9-0) Kickoff: 6 p.m. Friday The Class 2A No. 1-ranked Knights, who earned the No. 2 seed in the north bracket, welcome a familiar foe to Minonk. The No. 15 Thunder routed Fieldcrest 40-0 in the first round in 2017. “They were excited,” Fieldcrest coach Derek Schneeman said about his players’ reaction at their viewing party Saturday. “I think they all want another crack at West Carroll. They haven’t forgotten what happened two years ago. “They still have a bad taste in their mouths from a couple years ago. Hopefully, we can come out and get our payback.” Schneeman said the Thunder have very similar offensive and defensive philosophies as the last time the teams met. “They’re very similar,” Schneeman said. “Offensively, they seem to be running pretty much the same stuff more or less. They run all kinds of formations from more pro style I, some unbalanced stuff and then they’ll spread you out and run some three or four-wide receiver sets. Defensively, it’s a pretty similar philosophy from what I’ve seen so far.” Schneeman is glad to have the game on Friday. “I really appreciate they agreed to play on Friday because they’re coming a long way,” Schneeman said. “It

Activists ask NBC to hold independent probe on sex harassment highly influential MSNBC host expressed deep concern that her own company’s bosses had thwarted Farrow’s reporting on sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein — reporting which he then took to The New Yorker, where he won a Pulitzer Prize. Maddow also pointedly questioned NBC’s failure to launch an independent investigation of both the handling of the Weinstein story and of the behavior of Matt Lauer, the former “Today” anchor fired in 2017 over sexual misconduct allegations. On Saturday, Tina Tchen, incoming president and CEO of Time’s Up, said NBC Universal, while taking a useful first step, hadn’t gone far enough to release employees from non-disclosure agreements or other restrictive clauses. She said NBC should simply state that everyone is free to
By Jocelyn Noveck AP NATIONAL WRITER
NEW YORK (AP) — Activists called upon NBC Universal on Saturday to allow former employees to speak out freely on sexual harassment in the workplace without restriction, rather than having to come to the company first to be released from non-disclosure agreements. The company said Saturday that any former employee who believes they cannot disclose their experience with sexual harassment as a result of a non-disparagement agreement should contact the company, “and we will release them from that perceived obligation.” The statement, which was emailed to The Associated Press, was first reported Friday night by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, in an emotional segment introducing author Ronan Farrow. The
speak, without fear of retaliation. “If NBC Universal is truly committed to letting survivors and employees speak out about sexual harassment at the network, it should simply release them from their non-disclosure agreements,” she said. “There is no reason to place the burden on those who choose to speak to reveal themselves in advance to NBC Universal. This is an example of the burdens that perpetuate fear and silence, no matter what new policies and trainings may say.” Tchen, who takes up her duties next week, added that the company must, like some other companies have, commit “to an independent, outside investigation into all the circumstances surrounding workplace culture at NBC and the journalistic decisions made at this important news outlet ... As an employer and especially as a news organization, NBC Universal should
want to know the unvarnished truth.” NBC conducted its own internal investigation on the actions of its executives into how Farrow’s Weinstein story was handled, and how sexual misconduct allegations were handled. It concluded that its judgments on the Weinstein story were correct, based on the material Farrow had at the time. Farrow also alleged that NBC executives were aware of sexual misconduct by Lauer before the allegation that led to his firing, but NBC has denied it. Also calling for further action by NBC Universal was Linda Vester, a former NBC News employee who has accused NBC star anchor Tom Brokaw of sexual harassment and now heads a group called Silence Breakers Alliance. “Why is NBC forcing these women who have already en-

Stocks on track for record high this week NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks moved broadly higher in early trading today, putting the S&P 500 on track for a record high at the beginning a busy week of corporate earnings and economic reports. Wall Street will get reports from 156 companies in the S&P 500 index this week. The company news and a series of economic reports will give investors a clearer diagnosis of the economy’s
health. Investors will also closely watch the Federal Reserve’s latest decision on interest rates Wednesday. Microsoft was among the winners in a broad rise for tech stocks. Networking hardware company Cisco also made solid gains. Rising bond yields helped lift bank stocks. Citigroup rose 1.2% and Bank of America rose 1.3%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 1.84% from 1.8% late Friday.
Higher bond yields allow banks to charge more lucrative interest rates on mortgages and other loans. AT&T rose 4.7% and led broad gains for communications companies.

dured trauma to come crawling on their hands and knees, to ask the company to let them speak?” she asked in an interview Saturday. “This would be evidence that the company is re-traumatizing the victim and trying to keep them under its thumb.” Vester has also been calling for NBC Universal to allow an independent inquiry. Friday’s remarks by Maddow came in a monologue introducing Farrow, who is on a publicity tour for his book, “Catch and Kill,” in which he outlines his view of roadblocks NBC News set up that led him to take his Weinstein story to The New Yorker. “The allegations about the behavior of Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer are gut-wrenching at baseline, no matter who you are or what your connection is to this story,” Maddow told her viewers.

Illinois provides $3 million to help crime victims deal with trauma CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois is providing almost $3 million in state funds to help crime victims deal with their trauma. Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority announced Friday that $2.8 million in grants will be distributed to trauma recovery centers across the state. They say research shows the centers provide muchneeded services to people in underserved communities who face barriers to getting help. Jason Stamps, acting director of the ICJIA, says the centers “provide essential services to victims from underserved, marginalized communities who are often hesitant to seek help.”
