Mendota Elementary’s union and school board plan to meet this morning

CL Enterprises doing ‘big things in small towns’

Union plans community rally for Sunday By Ali Braboy NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

MENDOTA — Quite a few kids checked items out Thursday afternoon at Mendota’s GravesHume Public Library, but the library would like to see even more children utilizing resources as the elementary strike goes on. Wednesday morning, Mendota Elementary teachers walked out, idling classes for about 1,100 students in the three elementary schools. There are 76 teachers striking. The union and the district’s board are set to meet this morning. School board president Sean Pappas said the school board’s prior commitments made it impossible for board members to move their schedules, which is why they couldn’t meet Thursday or Friday. The union said an additional bargaining session also is set for Sunday afternoon if needed. Meanwhile, the library reminds families there are educational kits available to check out year round, said executive director Emily Kofoid. The library also has games, a play area with Legos and toys and a craft area. The Mendota YMCA has noticed 3-4 extra kids grade school age in the babysitting room since the strike started, said Mary Brandner, Mendota branch manager. The babysitting room is only available for children to be there while their parents are working out; it’s not possible for parents to drop oﬀ kids during the school day without being in the building.

CL Enterprises Co-owners Inga Carus and Peter Limberger are overseeing a handful of economic development projects in downtown Ottawa and Starved Rock Country. Limberger and Carus have made it their mission to do “big things in small towns” due in part to a belief that downtowns are untapped economic engines.

‘If it was possible 100 years ago, it must be possible today’ By Brent Bader SHAW MEDIA

ubicle walls inside CL Enterprises in La Salle are decorated with design plans for rehabbing a historic hotel, building two brewpubs and redeveloping two vacated department stores in a downtown.

Co-owners Peter Limberger and Inga Carus don’t see dilapidated buildings or vacant lots – they see the resurgence of once-bustling downtowns. Many years ago, people would travel roughly 100 miles from Chicago to La Salle to shop for items such as jewelry,

and stay in the Kaskaskia Hotel. “And there’s no reason why it cannot be back to that situation,” Limberger said. “Under a little bit different circumstances because the world has changed but actually even better because the world has changed and people are looking for different things.” It’s part of the reason why the couple plans to invest roughly $150 million in just La Salle and Ottawa with what they consider “transformational” projects for not just the cities but Starved Rock Country and beyond. As communities such as Ottawa, La Salle, Streator and Princeton continue to focus on improving their downtown offerings, the developers believe the efforts are a sign of progress

for economic development in the region. The design blueprints in their oﬃce represent the company’s investment in small communities including Ottawa, La Salle, Lockport and more. Limberger and Carus have made it their mission to do “big things in small towns” due in part to a belief that downtowns are untapped economic engines. In Starved Rock Country, a larger tourism potential has been identiﬁed. “Where there is a good lifestyle, this will attract business,” Limberger said. CL ENTERPRISES BEGINNINGS Carus and Limberger’s business – and their relationship – began with the falling of the Berlin Wall.

Previously government-owned businesses were being sold oﬀ or closed and the Germanyborn Limberger was looking to purchase a couple. One business that piqued his interest was a potassium permanganate company. But he had little knowledge of the business and was directed to “a company outside of Chicago,” which was Carus Chemical in La Salle. Limberger met with Inga’s father, Blouke, before Inga teamed up with Peter in 1996 to make two bids to the German government. Both were rejected and the two parted ways. Peter assisted Carus Chemical over the years with international expansion but Inga and Peter would not reconnect until 2005 when Inga was on a sales trip to See ENTERPRISES Page A3

Failed raid against El Chapo’s son leaves 8 dead in Mexico CULIACAN, Mexico (AP) — Mexican security forces aborted an attempt to capture a son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman after ﬁnding themselves outgunned in a ferocious shootout with cartel henchmen that left at least eight people dead and more than 20 wounded, authorities said

Friday. The gunbattle paralyzed the capital of Mexico’s Sinaloa state and left the streets littered with burning vehicles. Residents took cover indoors as automatic gunﬁre raged outside. It was the third bloody and terrifying shootout in less than a week between security forces and cartel henchmen, rais-

ing questions about whether President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s policy of avoiding the use of force and focusing on social ills is working. López Obrador defended the decision to back down, saying his predecessors’ strategy “turned this country into a cemetery, and we don’t want that

anymore.” But Mike Vigil, a former chief of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration who worked undercover in Mexico, called the violence “a massive black eye to the Mexican government” and a “sign that the cartels are more powerful” than it is.

Tropical storm warnings for Gulf Coast as system strengthens MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A strengthening weather disturbance moving toward the southern United States with heavy rain and wind is expected to become a tropical storm Friday as it nears the Gulf Coast, forecasters said. The system, which would be named Nestor, should bring a wet weekend across much of the droughtparched Southeast, where some events were being canceled and oďŹ&#x192;cials were trying to calm fears of a hard hit. Forecasters said at 11 a.m. that the system was about 230 miles south-southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River. It had top sustained winds of 60 mph and was moving to the northeast at

22 mph. A tropical storm warning was in eďŹ&#x20AC;ect from the Mississippi-Alabama line to Yankeetown, Florida, and from Grand Isle, Louisiana, to the mouth of the Pearl River. Forecasters expect blustery winds and heavy rain in parts of Alabama, Georgia and northern Florida, reaching the Carolinas and Virginia by Sunday. In New Orleans crews were preparing to explode two badly damaged construction cranes that are towering over a partially collapsed hotel project at the edge of the French Quarter. They planned to bring the cranes down Friday just ahead of winds that could cause them to tumble out of control.

Hopeful moments arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard to find around here. You see them when an athlete realizes he can compete again. When a mother learns she can live seizure free. Or when a stroke survivor regains her freedom. While some might see these moments as miraculous, we see them as the result of our determinationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;something we share across all of our Central Illinois locations. Here, hopeful moments happen across many neurological conditions, including back and neck pain, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and stroke.

So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for hope and worldclass neurological care â&#x20AC;&#x201C; find it here. LEARN MORE AT OSFINI.ORG.

No good DEED goes unnoticed at Hall High By Becky Kramer FOR SHAW MEDIA

The Hall High School Board of Education learned about some great things happening at the school during this week’s meeting. The Hall DEEDs (Dedicated to Each and Every Devil) is a cooperative club between regular education students and students in the life skills program led by sponsor Jessica Strouss. The Hall DEEDs program is a member of the Illinois Unified Champion Schools, and the goal is to unify people with and without disabilities. Several activities have taken place this school year. On Sept. 27, Hall DEEDs participated in a unified Cheer Night with the Hall High School Cheerleaders during the varsity football game versus St. Bede. Fifteen students participated, in addition to the cheerleaders after practicing for five days with several cheerleaders. Hall DEEDs students also have been busy stocking and prepping the concession stands for football and volleyball games. Students are responsible for checking dates on items, moving the older items to the front and newer items to the back, organizing all products in the concession stand, helping with inventory ordering, and prepping food before the games. Students also volunteer during the games to work in the concession stands. On Oct. 10, Hall DEEDs put on its first Move-a-Thon — modified Walk-a-Thon to promote awareness of including people with disabilities. This also was a fundraiser with proceeds paying the remaining costs of Special Olympic uniforms and other items for the classroom. All staff and students were invited to join in the event. Participants walked for 15 minutes and could stop by awareness tables to hear presentations about four specific disabilities presented by students in the DEEDs program. Hall DEEDs students also have been working on their cooking skills. Students have prepped and served four desserts, one breakfast and one set of freezer meals to the staff. Students plan grocery lists, shop for items and prepare the items that are served.

All the things in the library Unorthodox items on loan in Peru By Brett Herrmann

NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

Need a slide projector? How about some folding chairs? Or maybe a punch bowl? The library has you covered. Peru Public Library is now offering patrons the opportunity to borrow from its “Library of Things collection.” And the “things” are not the usual books and DVDs people might be accustomed to borrowing from a library. Library director Charm Ruhnke said these items are odds and ends the library has collected over the years that staff would like to make available to the public. There is technology both new and old for people to try out or use as needed. “We need to make sure other people know about the things we have,” she said. For example, the library’s slide projector is not exactly cutting-edge technology, breaking onto the scene for home entertainment in the 1950s. But people still come across slides they would like to show at a family gathering from time to time. “Most people don’t have them but they might need one once in a while,” Ruhnke said. “Sometimes we have to give them a crash course in how to use it.” On the modern side of things, there are WiFi hotspots for peo-

IVCC hosts ‘A Gender Journey’ Monday Illinois Valley Community College’s Student Services, Gay-Straight Alliance, Diversity Team and Safe Journeys present “A Gender Journey,” with IVCC alum and transgender Ethington activist Aiden Ethington at noon Monday in Room C316. Ethington has a master’s degree in political science and is a Department of Children and Family Services Clinical Domestic Violence Specialist, Central Region, for the State of Illinois. The event is free and the public is welcome.

IVCC offers career night, financial aid seminar More than 40 colleges and universities will be represented at Illinois Valley Community College’s 47th annual College and Career Night 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday in the gym. A financial aid seminar will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Dr. Mary Margaret Weeg Cultural Centre. High school and college students, parents, and community members can speak to college and university representatives about the admissions process. IVCC faculty, staff and program coordinators will provide information as well as options for transfer.

ple who lack internet or Roku sticks for those who may have cut cable. Ruhnke showed off some Cubelets on display, a line of construction toys she said are a popular and educational item for children. “They teach robotics and coding,” Ruhnke said. Tote bags, dolls, a button maker, a drawing tablet and binoculars are just a few more items on the list. Ruhnke said the library is still figuring out the pro-

tocol behind cookware such as cake pans or a punch bowl, but those could be available as well. Ruhnke said the concept of the “Library of Things” is something many libraries are already doing around the world. “That’s something libraries are already calling it,” she said.

Berlin. She reached out to Peter for recommendations on where to stay. “Berlin was changing a lot in those days because of the wall having fallen down. It was being rebuilt and becoming revived and everything,” Inga said. “We had no clue where to stay and I thought ‘(Peter) will know where to stay. And if we’re lucky he’ll invite us to dinner.’ And all of that happened,” Inga said with a smile. Inga said she fell in love after discovering they shared interests, values and beliefs. “We found out we had a lot in common but we’re very different,” Inga said. “He’s much more American and I’m more German than he is, really,” Inga said. “I’m the American in the family,” Peter added with a laugh. The two married in 2007 and Peter originally stayed in Germany to watch over his manufacturing businesses in automation and robotics systems. The family, including Inga’s adopted Chinese children, 19-year-old Nicola and 17-year-old Mariana, eventually moved back to the area and Peter joined them after selling his businesses. WHAT DO SMALL TOWNS HAVE TO OFFER? The two discussed starting a business together in America. That idea ultimately became CL Enterprises. “I thought it was a wonderful idea. It was exciting to me because I had never started a business before,” Inga said. Limberger and Carus looked at other communities across the country to invest in but kept coming back to the Midwest and Starved Rock Country. This was around the financial crash of 2008 and the two decided to invest in something

roled from prison just three weeks before the incident Aug. 21 in which he allegedly assaulted two females in his Spring Valley apartment then attempted to take on police officers who were called to the scene. In the end, the heavily sweating and blood-covered defendant was taken into custody by a halfdozen law enforcement officers. He’s charged with three counts of aggravated battery, a Class 2 felony, for continuing to kick at police officers after he was handcuffed, striking Spring Valley Police Chief Kevin Sangston, Spring Valley Deputy

Chief Bill Sommer and Officer Josh Pellegrini in their legs. If convicted, he faces a prison sentence of up to 6-30 years. During a hearing that was to serve as his final pre-trial, Public Defender Michael Henneberry requested Judge C.J. Hollerich order a fitness evaluation because Henneberry said Arteaga has been so far unwilling or unable to assist in his own defense. Henneberry said each time he has met with his client, who has been housed in La Salle County Jail, Arteaga has had ‘intense emotional outbursts’ which is interfering with Henneberry’s abil-

“We firmly believe the best social program one can create politically but also from a business point of view is to create more jobs.” — Peter Limberger “they knew,” which was the local region. “The Midwest is, from my view coming from another country, a good place to operate a business because of the stability of people, the attitude and the prototypical hard-working midwesterner. Solid people with their feet on the ground,” Limberger said. Ironically, by investing in something they knew they also invested in something they didn’t — a farm just south of Ottawa. The two were new to farming but considered it a stable asset unlikely to lose value, and many were willing to lend help in getting started. Their interest in real estate investment evolved from an economic discussion they were invited to by La Salle businessman Dick Janko. Limberger’s experience with running businesses in Germany was seen as an asset by others and Limberger further learned more about what the area had to offer. He was already familiar with the area’s close proximity to Chicago, where he had lived briefly in the 1970s, as well as the three million people who visit Starved Rock State Park every year, but learned more about the region’s history such as the Westclox clock manufacturers and the 5,000 people who had worked there. “The more we learned the more we were convinced it is good to be here,” Limberger said. “In business, sometimes you start something and then you get scared because you know it’s going to be an uphill battle. I can safely say even in very ambitious projects like the

Kaskaskia project, the more we do the more confident we get.” Limberger credited Blouke for gaining a sense of that potential early on with the purchase of the Kaskaskia Hotel and Conference Center and an interest in restoring the historic building and returning it to its former glory. The former sixstory hotel closed in 2001 but CL Enterprises plans to reopen 100 elegant rooms, restaurant and historic Side Bar as well as introduce a rooftop event space for up to 100 guests and a stateof-the-art conference center. Just to the east in Ottawa, they’re invested in restoring the city’s downtown Carson and Woolworth buildings to feature a 12,500-square-foot rooftop space and retail shopping on the ground floor and potentially open access on the north side where visitors can spill out on West Jackson Street, and by extension into Ottawa’s Washington Square. Limberger said he remains in “good contact” with the city regarding the development and hopes to have an agreement with city officials soon similar to the one he has received from the city of La Salle regarding the Kaskaskia project. And they’ve increased their investment in Ottawa by planning to build a boutique hotel along Ottawa’s riverfront as the city prepares to develop the area to include a harbor and amphitheater. At the same time, they’ve looked at doing more with manufacturing in the Midwest. Originally, they discussed ideas for a bakery or chocolate manufacturing company, but instead invested in Tangled

ity to prepare his defense. “He doesn’t sleep,” Henneberry said, “He paces his cell at night when he should be sleeping.” “His symptoms seem consistent with manic behavior,” Henneberry said, adding, “I can’t get him to answer questions. He seems to understand the role of people in the court, but doesn’t seem to have the ability to control or assist in preparing for his trial.” Hollerich, after a brief consideration, said he would grant the motion for a Springfield See FELONIES Page A4

Roots Brewing Company, which opened in Ottawa in 2016 along with the brewpub The Lone Buffalo. This venture will expand to include Lockport and La Salle brewpubs. They also invested in Starved Rock Wood Products in Mendota, formerly Illinois Valley Mill Works, which grew from 15 employees to 120 and has become the most modern and advanced woodwork business in Illinois. “We firmly believe the best social program one can create politically but also from a business point of view is to create more jobs,” Limberger said. Limberger said he has noticed an uptick in the country’s manufacturing jobs, but noted the importance for high schools to be introduced to workforce training and create partnerships with businesses to offer apprenticeship programs.

Public invited to small towns, ‘strong towns’ seminar Tuesday CL Enterprises continues to assess how best to capitalize on the already existing downtown infrastructures, and they hope others will consider doing the same. They are hosting a free seminar featuring Chuck Marohn Jr., founder and president of Strong Towns, at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Illinois Valley Community College’s room 124-125. Marohn will share his thoughts on how small communities cannot just survive but thrive in the current economy. Through focusing on what communities have to offer he hopes that cities can return to their former prominence and become booming economic engines again. “Our thought is, ‘If it was possible 100 years ago, it must be possible today,” Limberger said. “There is no reason that it couldn’t be back to that when everything was extremely prosperous.”

PRINCETON

Marijuana sparks dispute By Kim Shute

BUREAU-PUTNAM BUREAU CHIEF

PRINCETON — Despite urging by the mayor to reconsider recreational marijuana zoning, Princeton’s planning commission members are sticking to their original recommendation. A special meeting was called Wednesday by Mayor Joel Quiram to ask the planning commission to further discuss their zoning recommendation, which he says is too narrow and likely to impede any cannabis-related business from wanting to come to Princeton. The committee voted during its last meeting to limit all cannabis-related businesses to a manufacturing 2 zone, north of Interstate 80 and with special use permit. After much debate, some of it heated, commission member Jackie Davis proposed opening up the possibility of including zone M1 also, also a manufacturing zone north of I-80, but in the end, the votes weren’t there to support it. Chairperson Jim Scruggs, Ian Cardosi and Matt Keutzer opposed it — Martin, Michael Wendt and Rodney Lange voted yes, but lack of a majority defeated that proposal. Quiram hoped the planning commission would allow cannabis businesses access to zone B4multipurpose business zones, but members of the commission were vehemently opposed to allowing cannabis businesses, especially retail, into the downtown area. “It’s going to be legal Jan. 1,” Quiram said, “I don’t want to see Princeton turn away businesses selling a

I thought the meeting was very good. A lot of good dialogue. Valid points were made by everyone who spoke. I thank those who supported expanding the M2 zone to include M1. I thought it was a fair compromise suggested by Jackie. I respect Ian and Matt for the points they raised and, while I disagree with their ultimate decision, we move on with our shared goal of doing what is in the best interest of the city. Their recommendation now moves onto the city council for their vote.

TRI-DENT seizes meth PRINCETON — Phillip P. Castelli, 36, of Tiskilwa was charged with unlawful delivery of methamphetamine and Paul C. Hayden, 36, of Princeton was charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine at 3:48 p.m. Tuesday during a buybust operation on West Peru Street in Princeton, the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics 5-Day Forecast TODAY

Mayor Joel Quiram legal product.” “There’s been some confusion I think, saying I want this on Main Street. I don’t want a dispensary there,” Quiram continued. “People are saying ‘business district’ like it’s only from the courthouse square to North Main Street, but I consider the business district to be all the way north of town. I’m talking about retail when I say that, not a dispensary. North of the interstate is perfect for a dispensary.” Revenue has been a talking point for the mayor since the discussion of retail cannabis sales was raised. Municipalities can impose up to a 3% tax on retail sales, which Princeton has done. “Our police pensions are going up $100,000 next year and we’re not yet sure what our fire pensions are going to,” Quiram said. “We don’t have that kind of money.” “Revenue is revenue. I’m a mayor,” he said, “I have to consider all revenue.” A key issue, the mayor says is that zone M2 is a manufacturing zone,

which means the city council needs four votes to sell any land in that zone, and at this time, the council is divided over the issue of recreational marijuana. City council members Ray Mabry and Hector Gomez have indicated in previous open meetings they are not in favor of bringing cannabis sales to the city. “That puts the nail in the coffin,” Quiram said. “Jim (Scruggs), you made that clear in your comments. (Scruggs previously stated he would like to limit zoning in order to limit desirability of land available to marijuana businesses). In essence, you’re trying to set policy which is not the role of the zoning board, it’s the role of city council.” “(Zone) M2 is the largest zone we have,” commission member Matt Keutzer said. “We aren’t turning anyone away.” “It’s also the least desirable location,” Quiram said. “No one should bring personal feelings into this,” Quiram said. “This is not a product for kids. We have 16 establishments on Main

Street alone that sell alcohol. Kids go by them all the time and no one says anything about it. There are 18 more establishments throughout the city that sell alcohol.” “Do you think drugs and alcohol are the same thing?” Keutzer fired back. “They aren’t the same thing and you know it. It’s like saying cake and celery are the same because they’re both food.” “As a board, we’re not here to turn anyone away,” Ian Cardosi said. “This board has never discriminated against any business. If someone were to come here and request a special permit we can review it. If they want it somewhere else just bring it to us. My feeling is that at least now we have something in place and that is a legitimate start.” The recommendation will now go to the city council for a vote.

Team (TRI-DENT) said in a report issued Thursday. Police said agents conducted a controlled purchase of approximately 1 gram of methamphetamine from Castelli. Hayden was alleged to possess more than 6 additional grams of methamphetamine, police said. Both charges are Class 2 felonies with a sentencing range of 3-7 years.

Princeton salute to cancer survivors Princeton’s city government, city workers, police and fire departments welcomed the Pink Heals Sauk Valley Chapter to town in support of outgoing City Manager Rachel Skaggs (pictured, front row center) who has undergone treatment for breast cancer along with her sister Krystal Bickett and mother Dorie Lange. The three women were honored by the city for their battle against the disease and invited to sign the pink fire truck with messages of thanks or support for other survivors. Pink Heals visits women, men and children who have had cancer to show support and give loved ones an opportunity to honor the person fighting the disease.

There are other staff members working full-day hours while the strike goes on, such as secretaries, day janitorial staff and other full-time positions. Pappas said the union has put out the misstatement that teachers don’t want to come to the Mendota district to work. He said he asked the bookkeeper to look up teacher statistics and found that out of the 76 teachers, half of them come from outside the district.

Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accurately matches the first whistleblower’s charges. Trump asked Zelensky in the phone call to “do us a favor” by digging up the details that led to a high-paying job for former Vice President Joe Biden’s son on the board of a major Ukrainian energy company. “I will have Mr. Giuliani (Trump’s personal attorney) give you a call, and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call, and we will get to the bottom of it,” Trump told Zelensky in the White House account of their conversation. “I’m sure you will figure it out.” Why did Trump want Zelensky to dig up dirt on Biden and his son? To use it in his upcoming 2020 campaign, if Biden becomes the Democratic presidential nominate. To date, nothing has been proven to show that Hunter

Biden or his father did anything wrong, but that’s not going keep Trump from leveling corruption charges in the midst of his campaign if it will help him win re-election. Trump came into office in the midst of a huge scandal: that Russia interfered in the election by conducting a high-level cyberwar campaign that helped him win the presidency. Trump called the scandal a hoax and “fake news” and denies he had anything to do with it. But our intelligence community says it was real and had an impact on our last election, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s persistent denials. At their face-to-face meeting in Helsinki in 2018, Trump said he asked Putin if Russia played a role in the attack on our elections, and the former KGB agent said it did not. Trump said he believed him. Now Trump has asked the president of Ukraine to do

him “a favor” by launching an investigation into the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination. That has spawned a full impeachment inquiry in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives on the basis of a rough transcript of what he asked the Ukrainian president to do for him. Trump insists he did nothing wrong, but a Washington Post-George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government poll found this week that by a margin of 58% to 38%, “Americans say the House was correct to open the inquiry.” Moreover, “a clear majority of Americans say Trump’s request to investigate Biden and his son was inappropriate (62% to 32% who thought it was not).” Let the House impeachment inquiry proceed.

Owl vs. owl: Should humans intervene to save a species? By Phuong Le

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — As he stood amid the thick oldgrowth forests in the coastal range of Oregon, Dave Wiens was nervous. Before he trained to shoot his first barred owl, he had never fired a gun. He eyed the big female owl, her feathers streaked brown and white, perched on a branch at just the right distance. Then he squeezed the trigger and the owl fell to the forest floor, its carcass adding to a running tally of more than 2,400 barred owls killed so far in a controversial experiment by the U.S. government to test whether the northern spotted owl’s rapid decline in the Pacific Northwest can be stopped by killing its aggressive East Coast cousin. Wiens is the son of a wellknown ornithologist and grew up fascinated by birds, and his graduate research in owl interactions helped lay the groundwork for this tense moment. “It’s a little distasteful, I think, to go out killing owls to save another owl species,” said Wiens,

a biologist who still views each shooting as “gut-wrenching” as the first. “Nonetheless, I also feel like from a conservation standpoint, our back was up against the wall. We knew that barred owls were outcompeting spotted owls and their populations were going haywire.” The federal government has been trying for decades to save the northern spotted owl, a native bird that sparked an intense battle over logging across Washington, Oregon and California decades ago. After the owl was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1990, earning it a cover on Time Magazine, federal officials halted logging on millions of acres of old-growth forests on federal lands to protect the bird’s habitat. But the birds’ population continued to decline. Meanwhile, researchers, including Wiens, began documenting another threat — larger, more aggressive barred owls competing with spotted owls for food and space and displacing them in some areas. In almost all ways, the barred owl is the spot-

ted owl’s worst enemy: They reproduce more often, have more babies per year and eat the same prey, like squirrels and wood rats. And they now outnumber spotted owls in many areas of the native bird’s historic range. So in a last-ditch effort to see whether they can save spotted owls, federal officials are resorting to killing hundreds of federally protected barred owls. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service experiment, which began in 2015, has raised thorny questions: To what extent can we reverse declines that have unfolded over decades, often due partially to actions by humans? And as climate change continues to shake up the landscape, displacing species and altering how and where plants and animals live and thrive, how should we intervene? The experimental killing of barred owls raised such moral dilemmas when it first was proposed in 2012 that the Fish and Wildlife Service took the unusual step of hiring an ethicist to help work through whether it was acceptable and could be done humanely.

Just as with other conservation measures that involve killing one creature to save another, the program also prompted litigation and debate. Federal and state officials, for example, have broken the necks of thousands of cowbirds to save the warbler, a songbird once on the brink of extinction. To preserve salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest and perch and other fish in the Midwest, federal and state agencies kill thousands of large seabirds called double-crested cormorants. And last year, Congress passed a law making it easier for Oregon, Washington, Idaho and American Indian tribes to kill sea lions that gobble imperiled salmon runs in the Columbia River. The owl experiment is unusual because it involves killing one species of owl to save another owl species — and it may well be the largest killing program involving raptors. In four small study areas in Washington, Oregon and Northern California, Wiens and his trained team have been picking off invasive barred owls with 12-gauge shotguns to see

whether the native birds return to their nesting habitat once their competitors are gone. Small efforts to remove barred owls in British Columbia and northern California already showed promising results. The Fish and Wildlife Service has a permit to kill up to 3,600 owls and, if the $5 million program works, could decide to expand its efforts. Wiens, who works for the U.S. Geological Survey, now views his gun as “a research tool” in humankind’s attempts to maintain biodiversity and rebalance the forest ecosystem. Because the barred owl has few predators in Northwest forests, he sees his team’s role as apex predator, acting as a cap on a population that doesn’t have one. Marc Bekoff, professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, finds the practice abhorrent and said humans should find another way to help owls. “There’s no way to couch it as a good thing if you’re killing one species to save another,” Bekoff said.

Our children are our greatest possession. Let’s not lose them. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:4, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath; but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” How can we do this when we send our children to public schools? The choice is yours: Public schools, Christian schools or home schooling. God bless you as you make the best choice.

Share of Americans with no religious affiliation is growing By David Crary

AP NATIONAL WRITER

The portion of Americans with no religious affiliation is rising significantly, in tandem with a sharp drop in the percentage that identifies as Christians, according to new data from the Pew Research Center. Based on telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, Pew said Thursday that 65% of

American adults now describe themselves as Christian, down from 77% in 2009. Meanwhile, the portion that describes their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular,” now stands at 26%, up from 17% in 2009. Both Protestant and Roman Catholic ranks are losing population share, according to Pew. It said 43% of U.S. adults identify as Protestants, down

from 51% in 2009, while 20% are Catholic, down from 23% in 2009. Pew says all categories of the religiously unaffiliated population — often referred to as the “nones” grew in magnitude. Selfdescribed atheists now account for 4% of U.S. adults, up from 2% in 2009; agnostics account for 5%, up from 3% a decade ago; and 17% of Americans now describe their religion as “noth-

ing in particular,” up from 12% in 2009. The report comes at a challenging time for many major denominations in the U.S. The two largest — the Catholic church and the Southern Baptist Convention — are beset by clergy sex-abuse scandals. The United Methodist Church, the largest mainline Protestant denomination, faces a possible split over differences on the inclusion of LGBTQ people.

Comments about husband cross the line Dear Harriette: I was talking to one of my best friends, and she said something about my husband that was completely unacceptable. She was judgmental and rude, in my view. While we tend to talk about the things going on in our lives — including what our spouses do right and wrong — I always thought that it was oﬀ-limits for us to make comments about SENSE & the other person’s SENSITIVITY spouse. I try to be a sounding board for Hariette Cole her more than anything. I listen, but I do UNIVERSAL not make comments. UCLICK Because she said some pretty bad things about my husband, I feel uncomfortable talking to her freely now. I want to tell her how I

felt about her comments, but I’m not sure what to say. — Saying Too Much Dear Saying Too Much: You are right that there should be a safe space among your closest friends to air your grievances without fear of any repercussion — including a friend’s condemnation. Speak to your friend and tell her how her comments aﬀected you. Let her know how you would prefer that she communicate with you about your marriage — mainly by listening only. Come to an agreement on what you can both live with. It is likely wise, though, for you to complain less to your friends if you are unwilling to get feedback from time to time.

CLASS 1A MENDOTA REGIONAL FINAL: MENDOTA 3, DEPUE-HALL 2 (PKS)

Trojans triumph

L-P tennis players qualify for state, A-L football earns first win of season BY NEWSTRIBUNE STAFF

On his first drive at the Class 1A state tournament on Friday, Putnam County senior Ian Roach hit the ball into the water. “I just kept my attitude good,” Roach said about how he responded to the bad start. “It was the first hole at state. I was a little bit nervous. I had a little bit of a double cross on the first hole. I just told myself to fix something, find a groove then stay in that groove and stay focused.” He sure did. After back-to-back bogeys to start the round, Roach had consecutive birdies to get back on track as he shot an even par 72 at Prairie Vista Golf Course in Bloomington. “I think my round went pretty well,” Roach said. “I was hitting my putter pretty well and my driver was pretty much in the fairway almost every single time. Everything was pretty solid. I got up and down most of the time. I only had one double (bogey) and four birdies, so it was a pretty solid round.” Roach is tied for third and is just two strokes behind defending state champion Marcus Smith, of Winnebago, and Tri-Valley’s Matthew Barker, who both carded 70s. He tees off with Smith, Barker and Hillsboro’s Alex Eickhoff at 9:42 this morning. “Third place isn’t bad, but when you have the reigning state See ROUNDUP Page B3

Members of the Mendota boys soccer team celebrate after defeating DePue-Hall 3-2 in penalty kicks to win the Class 1A Mendota Regional. The Trojans (184-1) advance to the Peoria Christian Sectional at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. By Brandon LaChance FOR SHAW MEDIA

MENDOTA – There is only one way to truly define the winner of a close, aggressive and crowd stimulating boys soccer match — penalty kicks. The Class 1A Mendota Regional championship ended in dramatic fashion Friday as No.2-seeded Mendota and No. 3 DePue-Hall were tied at the end of regulation and at the end of two 10-minute overtime periods. In a penalty-kick shootout, MHS sophomore goalkeeper Yanni Karahalios blocked two Little Giant attempts to help the Trojans complete a 3-2 comeback victory and claim their

third regional plaque in four years. “It was crazy. When you’re waiting in the box, you just focus on the ball,” Karahalios said. “You know it’s up to you. One got passed me and the next one I just wanted to save it. It’s a crazy feeling when you do save it. “On the first one, I dove the wrong way. I didn’t let that get to me. I just focused on the next player’s body language and I was able to get the correct timing. I got the save. It felt great. My mentality was just to get the next one.” The Mendota penalty kicks were made by senior Ivan Figueroa, sophomore Yahir Diaz, freshman Johnathan Cortez and

FOOTBALL: MENDOTA 26, ROCK FALLS 21

Trojans snap 20-game skid By Dan Woessner SHAW MEDIA

ROCK FALLS – Both Rock Falls and Mendota are football programs that are trying to learn how to win games. On Friday night, the Rockets trod their well-worn path toward a loss despite several chances to pull away for the win. While the Trojans might have found a blueprint to follow in the seasons to come. Mendota scored with a little more than a minute left to defeat the Rockets 26-21 at Hinders Fields, snapping a 20-game losing streak. “It’s frustrating,” Rock Falls coach Kevin Parker said. “That game was in our hands, but we are not a very disciplined team right now. Those mistakes are things that we preach to our kids over and over again.” The Rockets led 21-20 as the fourth quarter started and they had the ball in Mendota territory. The first play of the quarter was a pass from Evan Laws to Chris Moore for 4 yards to the Mendota 33. Moore was pushed toward the sideline and then a Trojan hit him again out of bounds, drawing a flag. The personal foul moved the ball to the 16. On third down, Booker Cross found space to the 5, but was hit and the ball shot from his arms into the end zone where it was covered up by a Mendota defender. “With the matchup as close as it was, to force a couple turn-

We can’t control who we play, we can only control how we play, and we did.” The Trojans took over on their own 20-yard line with 10:10 left. Over the course of the next 9:05, Mendota methodically pushed down the field until finally scoring on a 1-yard run by Cody Jenner with 1:05 left. Jenner was the workhorse on the drive, getting the ball 12 times for a total of 73 yards. His

longest run was his first carry for 19 yards, and he had four carries of 7 yards. “I’ve never felt something like that in my entire life,” Jenner said of the drive. “It was everybody on the team wanting it and I felt it. Everybody just wanted to keep going. It was everyone going 100 percent, and it showed everyone’s heart. That’s what we are all about.” Jenner had 107 total yards and two touchdowns, and his night See TROJANS Page B3

senior Emiliano Arteaga, while senior Calvin Schmollinger and senior Robert Harrison made goals for D-H. With Karahalios’ goaltending and the deadly feet of his scorers, Mendota coach Nick Myers was confident in his team. “Yanni has been tremendous for us all year,” said Myers, who is in his first year of his second stint as the MHS boys soccer coach. “Yanni, game after game, has made the big save for us. He steps up and makes the save. They had three or four breakaways tonight and he came out and stopped them. He gets the stop and puts pressure on them. “You’re asking a sophomore keeper to go in the goal in a PK

shootout and win it for you, and he stopped two of the first three. That’s huge. In all honesty, those two saves gave our shooters even more confidence. Coach (Justin Jacobson) and I have talked, ‘If we go into penalty kicks, we have the best keeper in the PK shootout. He’s tremendous and to have him for two more years, I can sleep better at night knowing that.” By defeating D-H, the Trojans advance to a Class 1A Peoria Christian Sectional at 6:30p.m. Tuesday against the winner of defending state champion Quincy Notre Dame and Beardstown.

PUTNAM COUNTY’S IAN ROACH Year: Senior Sport: Golf If you could play any course in the world, which one would you play and why? Augusta National, for sure, because there’s been so much there. I look up to everything about The Masters. It’s my favorite major. Just driving down Magnolia Lane to see everything all those major champions have seen would be awesome for me. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Kit Kats. What is your favorite Halloween memory? I had a really good Halloween my freshman year. We watched a movie. And just going trick-orRoach treating and eating all the candy afterwards. What are your plans after high school? I plan to go to IVCC to play golf and from there start a career in golf. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why? I would probably go to Scotland to see all The Open courses. Last week’s accomplishments: Roach won his second career regional title by shooting a 75 to win the Class 1A St. Bede Regional at Spring Creek Golf Course. Roach on his performance: My performance last week was pretty solid even though my score wasn’t the best. I’m still proud of myself with the way I hit the ball. I made some progress for the way I hit the round today (at state), so I was happy. Coach Chelsi Straughn-Niewinski says: His front nine at the regional was some of the best golf I’ve seen him play. He shot a 31 on the front nine at Spring Creek. On the back nine he uncharacteristically lost a couple balls and things like that so he struggled a little more, but he still did enough to get it done and win a regional for a second time.

1A SERENA REGIONAL: EARLVILLE 5, NEWARK 1

Bruins rally for first win of season Raiders By Don Baldin

FOR SHAW MEDIA

On a perfect night for football, the St. Bede faithful, the Bruin coaching staff and mostly the Bruin players were rewarded with a long awaited and trilling 24-23 victory over EireProphetstown at the Academy. “This was a long time coming,” St. Bede coach Jim Eustice said. “We have worked hard and come close a couple of times, but this feels really good. I mean, we have 37 kids who come to every practice and work to get better and tonight the hard work paid off. We played well in all facets

of the game and we made big plays in all facets as well. These kids deserved this.” The teams traded two touchdowns each to start the game the game with each blocking an extra point. A conversion run by Noah Setser after Braden Damerell’s 4-yard TD run put St. Bede ahead 14-13. The scoring slowed in the second quarter with only a 31-yard field goal by Levi Cole to give E-P a 16-14 halftime lead. The Panthers went on a five-minute, 70-yard drive on thier first possession of the second half to grab a 23-14 lead

after three quarters. The Bruins, however, owned the final period. A 23-yard field goal by Nick Pearse pulled SBA within a score. On E-P’s next possession, Logan Link dropped the E-P ball carrier for a 7-yard loss to set up a third and long. The Panthers threw the ball, but St. Bede’s Jayce Ladzinski grabbed a deflection for an interception to set St. Bede’s offense up at the EP 46. The Bruins drove to the 14 before facing a fourth-and-3. Damrell hit Luke Story on a slant for a first down. On the next play, Damerell found Fortney in

the end zone for an 8-yard TD to tie the game. Pearse delivered the extra point to put SBA ahead with eight minutes left. A sack by Sramek helped stall E-P’s next drive, forcing a punt with a little more than five minutes left. The Bruins ran the clock down to 30 seconds before having to punt. A double pass brought E-P to the St. Bede 32, but Fortney intercepted a pass at the 5 to seal the win. “I don’t want to say it is the biggest win one of my teams has ever had because I don’t want to sell any of the other teams short, but it’s up there,” Eustice said.

FOOTBALL: 3A NO. 9 PRINCETON 42, MONMOUTH-ROSEVILLE 13

Tigers continue to roll through league By Kevin Hieronymus SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — Five down, one to go. Princeton moved to 5-0 atop the Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Division, defeating Monmouth-Roseville 42-13 Friday at Bryant Field. The Tigers (7-1) look to become the first team to repeat as conference champions in school history with only ErieProphetstown remaining in their way next week for a 6-0 run through the league.

“It just means a lot to us seniors because we want to go out with a big bang,” PHS senior captain Sammy McClure said. The Tigers travel to Erie next week to take on the Panthers (2-6). “Obviously, I’m hoping we come out Week 9 and take care of business and win the conference title outright,” PHS coach Ryan Pearson said. “That’s huge.” It was all Ronde Worrels early and Wyatt Davis late. Worrels got the “Ronde Express” going in the first quarter, scoring on 17- and 66-yard touchdown runs to give the

Tigers a 14-0 lead. He also had both TDs in the second quarter. Worrels lost out on a 9-yard score, which was cut short by an inadvertent whistle. Not to worry, he went 5 yards to pay dirt on the next play. The PHS junior added a 1-yarder with just 6.8 seconds left in the half to make it 28-7. Worrels finished with 126 yards on 12 carries. Davis took over in the second half, hauling in a pair of TD catches from Tyler Gibson. He juked a pair of Titan defenders on an 11-yard catch and

then raced 47 yards for another score, both in the third quarter to make it 42-7. Davis hauled in six catches for 120 yards. “We saw some things in their odd front that we could take advantage of,” Pearson said. “Ronde had some huge carries off the bat, and Wyatt had great catches. So did Noah (Atkinson). “We still have some things we’ve got to shore up and fix. But when you win 42-13 and have things to fix, that’s a good problem to have.” Gibson completed 10-of-14 passes for 208 yards.

FOOTBALL: 2A NO. 1 FIELDCREST 21, 3A NO. 10 EUREKA 17

Knights hold off Hornets, stay perfect By J.T. Pedelty SHAW MEDIA

MINONK — A playoff atmosphere was anticipated Friday night in Minonk for the Heart of Illinois Conference Large Division showdown between Class 3A No. 10 Eureka and Class 2A No. 1 Fieldcrest. It would have to be a pretty special playoff game, however, to match the atmosphere and excitement of this one, as the host Knights blocked a 45-yard fieldgoal attempt and then ran off the final 8:56 clock to put away the Hornets 21-17 in front of a giant crowd at Veterans Park. “(Eureka) is a really good foot-

ball team ... and that was one of the best high school football games I think you’ll ever see from start to finish,” Fieldcrest coach Derek Schneeman said. The win assures Fieldcrest (8-0 overall, 4-0 HOIC Large) at least a share of the HOIC Large title and keeps its hopes of earning the overall No. 1 playoff seed in 2A alive heading into its regular-season finale at El Paso-Gridley. The Hornets (6-2, 2-2) didn’t make it easy, though. Eureka led 3-0 after one quarter on a 42-yard Cade Gold field goal, but the Knights answered with two rapid-fire touchdowns on a Matt Lorton-to-Jaxon CusacMcKay 12-yard touchdown

strike and an 18-yard counter untouched into the end zone from bruising tailback Kenton Castrejon — the latter set up by Hunter Wyss’ successful recovery of a Jacob Joyal onside kick. The Hornets matched Fieldcrest, striking twice over a five-minute span on TDs from do-it-all quarterback Matthew Martin to retake the lead, 17-14. That lead lasted only 2:34 as a Lorton-to-Tisen Covington 45yard pass on third-and-8 was followed immediately with a Cory Land-to-a-wide-open Castrejon 33-yard touchdown completion. Joyal added his third extra point, and the Knights led 21-17. “We have a veteran group, and

last year we faced a lot of adversity like that,” Schneeman said. “Unfortunately we came out on the short end of the stick a lot of times, but I think that experience really helped us learn that when you’re down, you just have to keep your head up. ... “We didn’t let the lows get to us, and we found a way to come out and execute.” Eureka took over and began driving, but a holding call and three incompletions pushed the visitors back and forced Gold to attempt a 45-yard field goal. Fieldcrest senior Keegan Robbins came around the end and blocked the kick.

FOOTBALL: CLASS 5A NO. 6 SYCAMORE 45, LA SALLE-PERU 0

Cavs miss early chance in blowout loss By Eddie Carifio SHAW MEDIA

SYCAMORE – La Salle-Peru coach Jose Medina dug into the playbook early, calling for a trick play on the Cavaliers’ second play of the game Friday. But while they got 47 yards on a wide receiver pass and inside the 5-yard line of Sycamore, they couldn’t come away with what would have been the tying touchdown. Sycamore then started getting hot and the Spartans cruised to a 45-0 win. “We had a nice big play there, got some momentum,” Medina said. “But you’ve got to get points on the board. Right now,

where we don’t have a kicker or anything like that, we’ve just got to put points on the board. We didn’t do it.” Sycamore opened the game with a methodical drive, going 10 plays and 64 yards, capped by a 1-yard touchdown plunge by Manny Dominguez, who scored five times. The Cavs (5-3, 4-2) seemed poised to respond, gaining 47 yards on a wide receiver pass from Julius Sanchez to quarterback Sean Whitfield, taking the ball down to the Spartans’ 8-yard line. DeShaun Harris sprinted from behind to catch the sophomore quarterback. But the Spartans’ defense bore down, stuffing a third-down run

from the 2 by Carlos Larios and a fourth-down run from the 4 by Sanchez. Sycamore responded with a 10-play drive covering 96 yards. Dominguez got the final 55 on a screen pass from Grant McConkey, speeding past the defense for a 14-0 lead. On the next drive, Kyle Antos recovered a fumble by Whitfield. On the ensuing play, McConkey found a wide-open Dominguez for their second touchdown connection in 23 seconds and a 21-0 lead. “We got caught on the trick play, and we had talked about that all week that they’d probably have something for us,” Ryan said. “And that one, that was a

different one. To stop them, and to score and get it going pretty good there, that was huge. ... If they score there, and it’s 7-7, it’s a whole different type of game.” The Cavaliers will come back and try to regroup with a trip to Kaneland. “It’s not an easy task again as well,” Medina said. “I know that group is athletic and they can move the ball well. They’ve got some big guys on both sides. We’ve just got to regroup and get ready for next week.” Whitfield was 6-for-12 with 119 yards and an interception. Gaige Noonan had a team-best 32 rushing yards, and Larios was held to 19 yards on 11 carries.

NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS WRITER

SERENA — The Earlville boys soccer team came into the Class 1A Serena Regional championship Friday looking for its third consecutive regional title against a familiar foe in Little Ten Conference rival Newark-Seneca. Early on, the Noresman executed their game plan to perfection, but once the Red Raiders got their first goal they took control and came away with the 5-1 victory. The Red Raiders advance to the Peoria Christian Sectional at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at EastSide Centre in East Peoria. Earlville will face the winner of today’s IVC Regional final between Peoria Christian and Roanoke-Benson. For the first 10-15 minutes Friday, Newark played solid defense and kept the ball away from Earlville’s offense, but Manny Gomez took advantage of a freak play on a corner kick and took the ball the other way to give the Red Raiders a 1-0 lead. “This was nice to get,” Gomez said. “I hurt my knee at the start of the year and to come back and score a goal (in the regional final) means a lot to me.” Newark coach Jane Crowe was pleased with the Norsemen’s play early. “We couldn’t have asked for a better start,” Crowe said. “The kids did everything that we asked them to do and I think it caught (Earlville) off guard. Then we had a corner kick and they took it the other way and set the tone from there.” With 17:27 remaining in the first half, Jared Fries took control of the ball and fired past Silas Odum to make it a 2-0 Red Raiders lead. Earlville kept the pressure on Newark with precision passing but were denied a third goal until the 2:28 mark left in the half when Devyn Kennedy passed ahead to Fries, who missed the ball, but Kennedy continued ahead to regain the ball and fire a shot past Odum for a 3-0 lead. “Newark came ready to play,” Kennedy said. “Then we were able to get a goal and I dribbled ahead and was able to gain control and got the shot to go.” With just 15 seconds left in the half, Landon Larkin got a penalty kick and gave the Red Raiders a 4-0 edge going into halftime. “Newark executed great to start the game,” Earlville coach Larry Heiden said. “I think once we got that goal on a wild play, then we started to take control and started playing more of our game. I’m not sure if we thought this was going to be easy or what, but give them credit because they played very well.” Less than two minutes into the second half, Carson Collett had what looked like the goal that was going to put Newark on the board, but a great save by Michael Sansone kept the Noresman scoreless. Less than two minutes later, Kennedy was trying to record his second goal, but slipped on the play. He kept control and got the ball to Larkin for his second goal of the night to make it a 5-0 Red Raiders lead. The two defenses were strong from there on before Collett blasted a shot from 35 yards to get Newark on the board. Brad Martin Sr. can be reached at 220-6939 or at ntsports@ shawmedia.com.

Sports FOOTBALL: MENDOTA 26, ROCK FALLS 21

Devils win back-and-forth game, lock up playoffs By Jared Bell FOR SHAW MEDIA

The Hall football team had finally put the game away. Fulton, however, had other ideas. In Friday’s Three Rivers Conference crossover, the Red Devils scored back-to-back fourth-quarter touchdowns to take a two-score lead with just 2:40 left in the game, but in a wild and back-and-forth contest, Fulton rallied and had a chance to win in the final 30 seconds. However, the Steamers were unable to pull through as Hall held on for a heart-stopping 33-32 victory. “Toward the end of the game, we talked to our kids about, ‘How do you want to be remembered?’” Hall coach Randy Tieman said. “Our kids really responded well and did a great job.” In a game that saw six lead changes, Hall pulled ahead early in the fourth quarter when running back Austin Heinecke ran for a 9-yard TD to give the Red Devils a 27-24 lead. Following a failed fake punk by Fulton, Hall regained possession and scored again when senior quarterback Grant Resetich rumbled his way 26 yards for the TD to increase the Red Devil lead to 33-24 with just 2:40 left. With Hall finally creating separation, Fulton wasted little time responding as junior Kyler Pessman returned the kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown.

Little Giants were going to be the team traveling to Peoria as they scored the ﬁrst goal of the game as Harrison made a 25-yard attempt at 19:56 to take a 1-0 lead into halftime. It only took D-H 44 seconds to score a goal in the second half as junior Jackson Heiden put a Daniel Moreno assist in the back of the net for a 2-0 lead. “We knew we had a good team on the ﬁeld. They reacted the way I wanted them to,” said Little Giants coach Martin Moreno through translation from assistant coach Robert Rios. “I didn’t think we were going to score as early as we did, but when we had a 2-0 lead, we kept going and playing how we planned to. We didn’t make any subs except for when they cramped up and we had to give them a rest. Those boys played 100 minutes with no subs. They responded the way we wanted them to and we can’t ask for anymore, honestly.” The Trojans (18-4-1) erased the zero on the scoreboard at

champion at 2-under par, it’s going to be a grind,” Roach said. “I’ll probably have to shoot a really low round — a 68 or 69 — and just hope he calls back to me. I’ve never been in this position before at the state championship, but I’ve come back in other tournaments, so I’m feeling pretty good. “I’m a little bit (nervous and excited) because I’ve worked so hard for this all year going outside every day and golﬁng until the sun goes down. I’ve worked my entire life for this. I’m going to try to state in the zone and not think about it too much so I can stay focused.” PC coach Chelsi Straughn-Niewinski said Roach just has to focus on his own game. “He’s just going to have to play solid, roll a few

Steamer junior quarterback Connor Barnett then found senior Ethan Long for the twopoint conversion pass to slice the deficit to 33-32 with 2:27 to go. “That was a great job by our kids not giving up,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “Our kids always fight to the end. This was like a playoff game.” Fulton’s defense then forced Hall to punt away possession with 1:11 left. After back-to-back incomplete passes by the Steamers, Barnett connected with senior Jake Pannell for a 36-yard pass that gave Fulton possession at Hall’s 31-yard line with less than 30 seconds to play. With a chance for the Steamers to take the lead, Hall’s defense stepped up as senior Matt Hultz sacked Barnett and forced a fumble, which Fulton recovered for a 15-yard loss. “With no timeouts, it’s kind of helter skelter at that point (after the sack),” Lower said. “We just couldn’t take a sack, and we did. That’s kind of the story of the night — we just couldn’t handle ourselves up front very well.” Needing to score from its 46-yardline, the Steamers were unable to as Hall’s defense held on for the wild ending. “Matt Hultz has been making big plays for us all year long on defense,” Tieman said. “Making sacks, blocking passes, whatever it takes to win, he does. That was a big play.” Hall senior running back Marshall Walk finished with 190

the 45:33 mark when freshman Rafa Romero headed a Emiliano Arteaga corner kick into the net. Arteaga scored a goal of his own at 67:07 oﬀ of a corner kick by Diaz to tie the game 2-2 with DePue-Hall (7-6). “To see these guys grow as a team throughout the season and gaining that maturity level and experience, they’re still mostly freshmen and sophomores, but it’s like coaching a team full of juniors and seniors,” Myers said. “You can see the bond out there on the ﬁeld. Down 2-0, some teams would crumble and yell at each other. They stuck with it. These guys never give up and I love it. It has been a joy coaching this team.” After the excitement in regulation, neither team was able to score in the two overtime sessions, which led to the dramatic penalty kick ending. “I like the example they set for the up and coming players,” Martin Moreno said. “We had 11 players for most of the year and look how far we’ve come. All season we’ve only had one or two subs and there have been injuries. That’s telling the freshmen,

putts in and hope for no big numbers out there,” Staughn-Niewinski said. :He’s playing with the defending state champion, Marcus Smith, who hits the ball a mile. He played his practice round with him, which is good because he already got to see how he plays. I think he just has to worry about his own game and not worry about what the other guys are doing because he’s very capable of shooting just as well as he did today if not better.” PC senior Ben Cyr shot an 83 and missed the second-day cut by one stroke. Bureau Valley senior Trent DeVenney carded an 84, while Fieldcrest freshman Lucas Bernardi shot a 109.

the sophomores and the up and coming freshmen that we can get this far on just 11 players. The sky is the limit for them. It shows them it is possible to play in a regional championship if you want it. They set a good example that we can do it.” The Trojans are excited to have the opportunity to play in a sectional and try to win the program’s ﬁrst sectional title. However, it may be easier said than done since Quincy Notre Dame has quite the resume. “We assume it’s going to be Quincy because they’re the defending state champs,” Myers said. “I have to assume they have a good chunk of that team back. We’ve had that in the back of our heads for the last couple of weeks, that they are who we’re going to play in the sectional. “I know anyone that I’ve talked to isn’t giving us much of a chance, but the guys are excited for it and I’m excited for it. To quote the legendary Ric Flair, ‘To be the man, you have to beat the man.’ We thrive in the underdog role and we’re ready for that. I’m excited for us to go in as the underdog with no expectations.”

Friday. Olivia Ernat advanced in singles, while Lauren Klein and Ame Ernat qualiﬁed in doubles. “It’s exhilarating,” Olivia Ernat said. “Last year when I played doubles, my partner and I were really close to making it. This year playing singles, I was nervous and thinking it was going to be really diﬃcult, but I made it to state and it was easier than I expected it to be. “I thought I did quite well. My serves were consistent. My ground strokes, I struggled with them a little bit, but overall I did really well. I actually had quite a few winners.”

Trojans wasn’t done after scoring the go-ahead touchdown. On third down of the Rockets’ ensuing drive, he picked off an Evan Laws pass to seal the victory. “That was meant to be,” Jenner said. “It was where I was meant to be.” Rock Falls (1-7, 1-7 BNC) scored first after Chris Moore blocked a Mendota punt attempt and recovered the ball at the Trojans’ 5-yard line. Noah Schueler turned that into six points moments later on a 5-yard carry. Schueler was the Rockets biggest threat, finishing with 115 rushing years on 19 carries. He also scored on a 7-yard run in the third quarter. Mendota (1-7, 1-7) tied the score on the next drive on Jenner’s first touchdown. The score was set up by a 53-yard run by quarterback Ted Landgraf. Landgraf also had touchdown passes of 45 yards to Damien Magallanes and 20 yards to Andres Castenada.

Jason Clarke and Helen Mirren in “Catherine the Great”

Helen Mirren reigns again: ‘Catherine the Great’ on HBO By Sachi Kameishi TV Media

n a scene from the first trailer released for HBO’s upcoming miniseries “Catherine the Great,” Dame Helen Mirren (“Collateral Beauty,” 2016) stands as the eponymous Russian empress, her fist raised firmly. “Do you know what I hold in my hand?” she asks decidedly. She lets her words hang for a beat before pointedly answering her own question: “Absolute power.” Premiering Monday, Oct. 21, on HBO, the four-part “Catherine the Great” period drama co-produced by Sky Atlantic explores the public and

Helen Mirren stars in “Catherine the Great” private lives of Catherine the Great in her later years. Russia’s last and longest-ruling female leader, Catherine revitalized the country during her strict reign. Russia grew larger

and more unified than ever, cementing the nation as one of Europe’s greatest powers during the 18th century. The new HBO series tells her glorious, politically victorious story as such, while also outlining the controversy and eroticism that challenged her luxurious, golden court. As per Sky Atlantic’s news release, the series shines a spotlight on Catherine’s place historically and in today’s context as a woman who was “strong-minded, independent, brilliantly intelligent and sexually liberated ... the definition of the modern woman.” Many of the production’s interior scenes were filmed in

Catherine the Great’s actual palace, a detail that will be a treat for audiences as much as it was for the cast. Speaking to the Evening Standard about shooting in the decadent Moscow residence, Mirren said, “I was looking out of the same windows onto the exact same grounds [as she was]. It was an extraordinary feeling being that close to her.” The depiction of a woman in power who isn’t defined by the men around her hasn’t been the norm in modern media. Anticipation for this kind of female-focused storytelling is only heightened when you add the abilities of an actress of Mirren’s caliber. Not only

the lead of the series, Mirren also serves as executive producer for the project. In fact, she reportedly took the idea to fellow producer David M. Thompson, who claimed, “It’s a part she’s always wanted to play.” A lesson in inspired casting, Mirren’s turn as Catherine the Great marks her return to the royal tale. Mirren has explored the significance of womanhood in monarchy her entire career. Her roles as Elizabeth I in the mini-series “Elizabeth I” (2005) and Queen Charlotte in “The Madness of King George” (1994) debuted to great acclaim, and her portrayal of Elizabeth II in “The Queen”

(2006) earned her an Academy Award. Empress Catherine already feels like an excellent addition to Mirren’s collection of regal roles, because it’s the kind of royal story Mirren has not told before: the story of an openly erotic and deeply romantic monarch. HBO has clearly stated that Catherine’s sexuality and passionate demeanor are to be spotlighted as one of the most fulfilling aspects of her life, supposedly in an attempt to destigmatize her as the lust-obsessed vixen many historians remember and shame her for, and instead consider her sexuality as part of her legacy as a complex woman.

WHAT’S NEW ON NETFLIX: “Daybreak” Anyone who loves zombies but is more of a “Zombieland” (2009) type than a “The Walking Dead” type should be very excited. On Thursday, Oct. 24, Netflix premieres its new comedy zombie series, “Daybreak.” An adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name by Brian Ralph, “Daybreak” follows Josh (Colin Ford, “Under the Dome”), a high school outcast who is looking for his missing girlfriend in his post-apocalyptic town. Following a nuclear blast on Homecoming night, the town of Glendale becomes a world of chaos overnight, especially at Glendale High School, where cliques have become warrior gangs and “ruling the school” isn’t just an expression. With his school having turned into a scene straight out of “Mad Max,” Josh joins together with the last people you’d expect: the somewhat unstable pyromaniac Anjelica (Alyvia Alyn Lind, “The Young and the Restless”) and his former bully-turned-pacifist-samurai, Wesley (Austin Crute “Booksmart,” 2019). Matthew Broderick (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” 1986) also stars as Princi-

Season 1 saw many ups and downs for the pair, including the loss of loved ones, dating students, family complications and every man’s nightmare: prostate problems. “The Kominsky Method” approaches the reality of aging in an unforgiving industry in a satirical and witty manner.

WHAT’S NEW ON HULU: “Castle Rock” Season 2 The psychological horror series “Castle Rock” returns

Wednesday, Oct. 23, on Hulu. Season 1 brought viewers to the world of Castle Rock, Maine, which featured characters and settings from the works of Stephen King, such as the infamous Shawshank Prison. Season 2 is set to introduce single mother Annie Wilkes (Lizzy Caplan “Now You See Me 2,” 2016), the villain from King’s “Misery,” who’s on the path to being a full-fledged psychopath. Viewers will also meet Reginald “Pop” Merrill (Tim

Robbins “Here and Now”), head of the Merrill crime family. True to the works of Stephen King, “Castle Rock” is dark and twisted and not for the faint of heart. Showrunners have described the series as an anthology, saying, “We’re going to tell a new story that gives you a different lens into Castle Rock and into Stephen King each season – each story will stand alone but we will be circling back to those characters whose stories intersect.” The end of Season 1 left

When the girls arrive in Bay City to train the new protectors on how to handle the magic recipes and the dangers that come with them, they learn that the new protectors aren’t even friends and certainly aren’t ready to use magic. Catch this magical special when it premieres this Friday on Amazon Prime.

/633@>66+ 8 ( By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: I just watched the movie “Harvey” for the umpteenth time, and something’s always bothered me about it. Elwood is supposed to be an alcoholic, right? Then why does he never drink on screen? A: The Motion Picture Production Code, that’s why. “Harvey,” the hit 1950 comedy, starred James Stewart as a happy-go-luckydrunk with a human-sized talking rabbit as an imaginary friend. As you can guess, the character’s alcoholism was a driving factor in the plot of the film. But despite that, he’s only seen taking one drink throughout the course of the movie (instead, he just talks a lot about it). That is reportedlyso that the film could meet the strict rules of the Motion Picture Production Code in force at the time. The code was a self-regulation regime set up by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America to ensure films met certain “moral standards” (but historians sayit was really a wayto avoid direct censorship by the government). One of the issues the code was concerned with was alcohol consumption. It stated that, “The use of liquor in American life, when not required by the plot or for proper characterization, should not be shown.” You could argue that “Harvey” required liquor for proper characterization,but of course your question is proof that the point got across anyway. The code fell out of use in the 1960s and was officially abandoned in 1968, replaced by the film-rating system we know today.The key difference being that the ratings system doesn’t mean unscrupulous activities aren’t shown on screen, just that the films are labeled appropriately. Q: Will “Tacoma FD” be back? It’s an absolute hoot! A: Fortunately, the new bosses at truTV agree with you. The

you could do worse than checking out the aforementioned Super Troopers movies. The original, released in 2001, has attained cult classic status and did for highwaypatrol officers what “Tacoma” does for firefighters. In aninterview with The Fourth Wall podcast, Heffernan said his goal with the series was to deliver a similar type of comedy, but with “some elements of heart, as far as we can take it.”

James Stewart in “Harvey” lightlyscripted comedy series “Tacoma FD” had the truTV execs laughingenough, and impressed enough by the ratings, to earn it a second-season renewal. They haven’t announced a release date yet, but there’s no reason to believe it won’t be late winter or early spring like the first season. However, the show’s going to need a bit more time — the network gave it 13 episodes for Season 2, three more than Season 1. “Tacoma FD” was created by Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme, who also gave us the Super Troopers movies. Typically for them, they managed to squeeze a joke into the renewal announcement. “While we realize this should be a time for rejoicing, our first thoughtis: Damn, guess we gotta grow those mustaches back.” TruTV recently underwent a major shakeupat the executive level, most notably the replacement of president Chris Linn by Kevin Reilly, who is now in chargeof numerous entertainment channels in the Warner corporate family. Reilly seems interested in continuity,at least for the moment. “Tacoma FD’s” renewal came a couple of daysafter that of “I’m Sorry,” another improvheavy comedy series. If you’re hungry for something similar while waiting for the next “Tacoma FD” season,

Conan The Emmys last night was watched by a record low number of 7 million people. And one million of those were Game of Thrones cast members. President Trump is in hot water for asking the leader of Ukraine to look up dirt on Joe Biden. Now, for you history buffs out there, get this — no one’s asked a foreign government to interfere in a U.S.. election since way back in 2016.

Q: “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”has suddenly disappearedfrom television. Has it been canceled? I really miss it. A: “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” has used its last lifeline. It’s asked the audience, it’s phoned friends at every network in the country, but it has still been canceled. Well, the U.S. version has, at least. (And that’s a source of hope.) The long-running game show started in prime time on ABC in 1999 and was canceled after just three seasons, but it was then revived in syndication, where it lived on for a whopping 17 years. During its first 14 years, it had just two hosts: Regis Philbin and Meredith Vieira. But it cycled through three more in its last six years (Cedric the Entertainer, Terry Crews and finally Chris Harrison) as it struggled to regain some of the magic of its early years, when it was a true water-cooler show — its signature phrase “Is that your final answer?” became a part of everyone’s lexicon. As I said, there is some faint hope, though. The format actually started in the U.K. a year earlier. The Brit version was cancelled back in 2014 but was resurrected last year and has found new success.

The country’s first cannabis restaurant is set to open here in Los Angeles. The restaurant says they’re going to have a menu filled with farm-to-table items: the beef will be grass fed, also the customers will be grass fed.

A whistleblower lodged a complaint over Trump’s phone call with the leader of Ukraine. We don’t know who the whistleblower is yet, but we do know they’ll end up on “Dancing with the Stars.”

White House lawyers were so concerned about Trump’s phone call with Ukraine that they hid the transcript in a top secret computer system. They hid Trump’s embarrassing communications, which is weird because they know that we can all see his tweets, right?

It’s been a very big week here in New York; the UN General assembly is in town. Leaders from Asia, Africa and Europe have come to New York City to see all the people who used to live in their countries.

Over the weekend, several 2020 candidates were in Iowa and Joe Biden set up a tent with a bouncy castle, a fire truck and an ice cream truck. It’s all part of his plan to win that coveted 3-8-year-old demographic. Facebook just paid almost $1 billion for a company that makes wristbands that can read your brain, which is crazy because I was pretty sure Facebook already knew everything about me. A woman in the U.K.. fell in love with her wedding DJ and now they’re dating. Even worse, the woman told her ex-husband: “shoulda sprung for a band.”

Trump called his conversation with the Ukrainian president a, quote, “perfect phone call,” which is obviously a lie. A perfect phone call is a text message!

For two and a half years, Trump has had scandal after scandal — every time people have asked: “Is this the thing? Surely this must be the thing?” And every time, it wasn’t the thing. But here’s the thing: There’s a new thing ... it might be the thing. Innocent people do not do things like this! That’s why people hide their porn on their computer in files labeled “vacation pics” instead of “porn for later.”

-,(;<9, :;69@ The man who came to choir: Choir comedy ‘Perfect Harmony’ airs on NBC By Breanna Henry TV Media

s NBC’s “The Good Place” wraps up its final season, the network and its viewers are in desperate need of a light, feel-good comedy to fill the 30-minute time-slot (and hole in my heart) left behind by the oddly endearing series about genuinely crappy people. Enter “Perfect Harmony,” a comedy about an oddly endearing “crusty, unpleasant man” on a reluctant mission to turn a group of misfit, small-town Kentucky churchgoers into an awardwinning choir. Now airing Thursday nights on NBC, “Perfect Harmony” is basically “The Man Who Came to Dinner” with some pop-gospel mash-ups à la “Glee” thrown in between humorous insults, so if you’re a fan of both 1930s humor and modern pop-rock music, then this show was made for you. The accomplished and illustrious Bradley Whitford (“The West Wing”) both produces and stars as the show’s anti-hero Arthur Cochran, a former Princeton music professor who decides life isn’t worth living after the death of his wife. While sitting in his car in a church parking lot contemplating how well a bottle of pills would go down, Arthur asks his wife for a sign. When nothing happens, he’s interrupted by a butchered rendition of “Hallelujah” that is so cruel to his finely tuned ears that he decides he cannot die while the sound lives on. Drunk, heartbroken and miserable is how the members of the Second First Church choir meet Arthur, moments before he gives each of them a bit of harshly worded criticism and promptly passes out on the floor. The next morning, Art and the audience are introduced to the choir. “Perfect Harmony’s” ensemble cast of veterans and newbies to the biz include new single mother Ginny (Anna Camp, “Pitch Perfect,” 2012) and her snake-obsessed ex-husband

Wayne (Will Greenberg, “Wrecked”), the softhearted “huge guy” Dwayne (Geno Segers, “Pair of Kings”), the church’s raised-by-eccentric-missionaries priest, Rev. Jax (Rizwan Manji, “The Magicians”), and the sassy soprano (alto) Adams (Tymberlee Hill, “Drunk History”). The pilot episode of “Perfect Harmony” was paced as though it was written by Usain Bolt. Of course, 25-ish minutes isn’t long at all, especially when you’re trying to introduce each member of an ensemble cast, but the show had already played out its entire synopsis (including choir competition, divorce finalization, secret love confession and the warming of Cochran’s heart) before the end of the first episode. By the time Arthur finally got that sign he had been asking for since the opening scene, I practically had whiplash. However, that doesn’t mean I didn’t have goosebumps the moment the “butterfly” was out of the bag. There may have been a “bleeped out” curse word and a bit of questionable humor, but overall, “Perfect Harmony” was charmingly wholesome. Despite the obvious character tropes and lightning-fast pacing of the pilot, I already like the characters — including the man who doles out insults and unwanted life advice like Halloween candy. Not every show on television needs to be a hard-hitting, hour-long drama or a cringe-inducing reality series; there’s an increasingly small place for shows like “Perfect Harmony.” NBC has decided to bring viewers a comedy that made the “just like ‘Glee’” joke on itself before critics got the chance. The series promises both heartwarming and heartbreaking moments, fantastic (and funny) music, heaping helpings of character growth, and even some truly good messages about things like being honest with yourself, dealing with grief and avoiding self-blame. Cochran might be helping the always-second-place choir out of spite, but there

2 • NewsTribune • October 19 - 25, 2019

Rizwan Manji, Will Greenberg, Anna Camp, Bradley Whitford, Tymberlee Hill and Geno Segers in “Perfect Harmony” are moments where the oftcrotchety man allows his actions to be influenced by his late (much) better half. I’m looking forward to seeing where the first season takes

the series and its cast, but perhaps your music taste is a bit less Jeff Buckley and a bit more Jeff Hanneman. Don’t write off the choir just yet; the pilot episode alone in-

cluded classic gospel, Miley Cyrus and Queen. Whitford and Camp steal the show in this series, which has a little bit of everything to make everyone in the house

smile. I know there won’t be any complaints in my house when it comes on the television. You can watch “Perfect Harmony” on Thursday nights on NBC.

18th inning. The Red Sox took the next two games and ended up celebrating their championship win at Dodger Stadium after winning Game 5 of the best-of-seven series. After going 106-56 in the regular season, the Dodgers were tops in the National League and had the second-best record in the league, only bettered by the AL’s Houston Astros, who finished 107-55. The Dodgers are familiar with being one game inferior to the Astros — they lost to the ‘Stros in the 2017 World Series, 4-3. The Dodgers hope to make their third consecutive appearance in the fall classic this year, and also likely hope that the saying “third time’s a charm” rings true. The best teams from the American League and National League are set to battle it out for baseball’s greatest title. Find out who takes the early advantage in the 2019 World Series when Game 1’s first pitch is thrown on Tuesday, Oct. 22, with live coverage on Fox and Sportsnet.
