Lack of volunteers forces Relay for Lifes to merge, form group to host multiple events By Ali Braboy NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

Semi trucks flood interstate 39 near Oglesby. Illinois ranked third in total freight shipped in 2016 and those numbers are expected to increase. Locally, truck drivers are in high demand and truck traffic is soaring across the Illinois Valley area.

Truckers needed as freight demands increase By Brett Herrmann NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

Job applications are stacked across several tables at Illinois Valley Community College’s Truck Driver Training building just waiting for potential candidates to spill ink into the boxes and hand them in. Who’s hiring? Just about everyone. “I’ve never seen so many jobs available for drivers,” said IVCC truck driver training program director Bruce Hartman. “It’s got to be the economy.” Hartman’s not wrong. Rapid growth in the logistics industry has led to high demand of truck drivers on the local level. “The amount of freight transported in the United States is expected to increase signiﬁcantly as a result of further economic growth, changing business and retail models, increasing international trade, and rapidly changing consumer expectations that place an emphasis on faster deliveries,” a recent report by TRIP, a national transportation research nonproﬁt, states. That impact has carried down to the local level. And Hartman said the demand for drivers has been more of a recent boom — mostly taking place over the past

two years — than an ongoing trend. “The sand jobs are big and the logistics jobs are big,” he said. “Most students that come through have jobs before they graduate.” WHAT’S CHANGED? As TRIP noted in its study, consumer habits have changed how products are shipped across the country. Options like next day delivery have become commonplace, but are only possible with how distribution is currently set up. “The whole concept of transportation of goods has changed dramatically over the past 20 years,” said Don Schaefer, executive vice president of the Mid-West Truckers Association, based out of Springﬁeld. He said the rise of distribution centers has made logistics a regional business. Long-haul truckers are less likely to take a 2,000 mile trip to the coast. He said trips today are more likely in the 600 mile range or shorter due to strategically placed distribution centers, such as Walmart’s in Spring Valley. They are built right next to interstates where shipping containers can be hauled in, broken down, and shipped back out as needed.

“Eastbound and down.” David Peterson of Compton, a student at Illinois Valley Community College, practices backing up a semi truck at the college’s truck driver training facility in Oglesby. “It’s more cost eﬀective and more eﬃcient,” Schaefer said. And he said to keep expecting more logistics centers to pop up due to the way consumers purchase products. “The economy is absolutely good,” he said. “It’s been good and it’s going to keep being good because of demand.” WHERE DOES THE AREA STAND? In 2016, Illinois ranked third

in the nation in the total value of freight shipped by all modes of transportation, including truck, rail, water, air and pipeline, according to TRIP’s study. Illinois also has two of the worst truck bottleneck areas for interstates along the Interstates 90 and 94 corridor in the Chicago area. While the Illinois Valley’s interstates are not among the See TRUCKS Page A3

A difficulty finding enough volunteers and leaders to manage large, annual events led to a merger of two long-time groups that have helped save lives and fight cancer. American Cancer Society announced Relay For Life of La Salle County and Relay For Life of Upper Illinois Valley are joining forces to create the La Salle County Days of Hope. Relay for Life of Upper Illinois Valley started in 2010 and was around for a decade, reportedly raising $1 million between funds raised at, or resulting from, the annual events, said Mitch Landgraf, a founding and sustaining leader of Relay for Life of Upper Illinois Valley. The group came about because the Relay for Life of La Salle County had grown so large that there was enough support in the county to have two events, purposefully placed in opposite corners of the county so residents could participate in the event most convenient for them. Although Landgraf has stepped down from his Relay leadership role, he will continue to be a cancer-fighter. “Between the free local patient care services and cancer research and prevention programs of the American Cancer Society, and great local-only supports like Cops 4 Cancer and the IVCH Cancer Support group, our area gives cancer the relentless onetwo punch it deserves,” he said. As the years went on, both events found it increasingly difficult to find enough volunteers and leaders to manage large, annual events. As such, leaders from the two Relay events are working as one group to host a See HOPE Page A2

Washout on canal path forces race organizers to reroute the last annual 10K By Brett Herrmann NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

The annual Canal Connection will be sandwiched between a couple of washouts this year on the Illinois and Michigan Canal. The usual route — from La

Salle to Utica — is not possible this year due to a washout that occurred earlier in October that has closed a section of the path east of Split Rock. “Initially, the (Department of Natural Resources) expected it to be repaired in time for the

race,” said race director Janine Sobin. “I received an email earlier this week that it will not be repaired in time for the race because the washout is still in the engineering phase.” So, Sobin and fellow race

organizers with Starved Rock Runners LTD had to redraw the 10K’s route on the ﬂy. “So far we have mapped out, accurately measured and marked our new course,” she said. But the closed trail will mean

Relay for Life of La Salle County started in 1997 and has raised more than $3 million, said Karen Ranger, who has been heavily involved with the group since 1999. In 1997 it was held at the Ottawa High School football ďŹ eld. Two years later it moved to Illinois Valley Community College for a number of years. In 2004 the event was moved to the Streator City Park. She recalled back in 2008 that $257,000 was raised and in 2009, $271,000 was raised while she was chairman of the events.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Illinois task force that examined the safety of pharmacy practices in the state is recommending that pharmacists take breaks and take more time when dispensing medications.

State oďŹ&#x192;cials created the task force after a Chicago Tribune investigation found that 52% of 255 Chicagoarea pharmacies failed to warn customers about combinations of drugs that could cause harm or death.

AMBOY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Only minor injuries were reported when a John Deere spreader driven by a Dixon man was struck by a semi that was passing on the left while the farm equipment was going left Wednesday morning U.S. 30 at the intersection of Rockyford Road. Truck driver Maciej Szyszko, 46, of Norridge, was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and improper passing, according to the Lee County sheriďŹ&#x20AC;. Amboy and Sublette Fire departments responded. A collision involving a car and semi with a semitrailer loaded with beans resulted in the death of the driver of the car near Gardner in far southeastern Grundy County. Coroner John W. Callahan said Samantha Serena, 35 of Gardner, went through an intersection without stopping in far southeastern Grundy County.

Bond at $1 million for man who fled drug bust By Derek Barichello SHAW MEDIA

OTTAWA — Bond is set at $1 million for a Chicago-area man who was arrested Wednesday in Wyanet after he fled police during an undercover drug bust in Peru. Michael D. Willis, 34, is in custody at the La Salle County Jail, needing $100,000 for release. He is charged with manufacturing/delivery of heroin between 1 and 15 grams. The Willis Class 1 felony carries a possible prison sentence of 4-15 years, if convicted. Peru police said Willis sold purported heroin to an undercover officer Wednesday at a north Peru parking lot near Interstate 80 and Route 251. He fled along Interstate 80 into Bureau County, and sped through Princeton. Authorities found his vehicle in Wyanet, and then located Willis shortly after in a residential garage. Willis was appointed a public defender when he appeared in court Thursday. He is scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment next at 9 a.m. Friday, Nov. 22, in Judge H. Chris Ryan’s courtroom. Willis may face further charges, according to officials.

PERU Peru flushing hydrants Monday-Wednesday The City of Peru will continue hydrant ﬂushing beginning Monday and, tentatively, concluding Wednesday. Flushing will occur between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day. Residents could experience low water pressure and/or rusty water. Residents are urged to let their water run until it is clear.

Two sons, two cancer diagnoses ‘It’s very rare to have this happen,’ but Princeton family perseveres By Goldie Rapp SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — Getting a diagnosis that one son has cancer is difficult enough. But imagine finding out nearly two years later that a second son has cancer, too. It seems inconceivable, but for the Gerber family, it’s reality. In October 2017, their youngest son, Age, who was 3 at the time, was diagnosed with Wilm’s Tumor. He underwent eight months of chemotherapy and eventually lost both of his kidneys to Denys Drash Syndrome. Up until recently, he was receiving dialysis. While on the road to recovery with Age, the Gerber family’s older son, 12-year-old Wyatt, fell ill and was soon after diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on Sept. 4. He is currently under-going vigorous chemotherapy. Zepha Gerber, the boys’ mother, compares her situation to being struck by lightning twice. “It’s very rare to have this happen to a family within a couple years,” she said. “Cancer is one of those things that blindsides you. It’s not something parents like hearing about when it comes to their kids.” The past couple of months have held some of the darkest and most strenuous days for the family, but one thing that’s keeping them strong is their faith. “We serve a really good God, despite the bad things that are happening to us,” Zepha said. “Our family is really grounded in faith. As hard as this is for us, I know there is a God that walks before me.” The community of Princeton has wrapped its arms around the family over the past several months — from fundraisers to meal chains to sporting their son’s football jersey number at games. A Gerber Brothers Unite Benefit is also is the works for Nov. 9 at the Princeton Wesleyan Church. “The blessings are overflowing. The community has just been awesome to us,” Zepha said. “They’ve just showered us with love that we didn’t feel we deserved. We’re truly humbled by it.” WHEN AGE WAS DIAGNOSED Age was diagnosed with Wilm’s Tumor just before his fourth birthday in October 2017. He underwent eight months of chemotherapy. “There were times I thought I’d never see depression in a 3-year-old, and I did when he was going through chemother-

And TRIP predicts the volume of truck traﬃc will increase by 140% between 2012 and 2045. But has the increase been noticeable to local trucking companies? “I haven’t noticed any real surge in freight,” said Vince Luckey of Luckey Trucking, a Streator-based company. “But (Interstate) 39 has taken a bigger and bigger portion.” The relatively new interstate offers north/south passage around the congestion of Chicago without an abundance of tolls and has seen increasing

He has spent most of his life around hospitals, doctors and treatments. “It’s a big part of his life,” she said. “He ﬁnds it odd or interesting that doctors and nurses that worked with him are now working with his brother.”

He just couldn’t vocalize what was going on with him, and when doctors and nurses would check on him, he would just look past them,” Zepha recounted. “It’s was an up-anddown roller-coaster ride.” Age eventually lost his kidneys to Denys Drash Syndrome and had been living on dialysis since January 2018. On Oct. 17, his ﬁfth birthday, he underwent a kidney transplant surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital where his father, Shawn, was his donor. All are doing well as they recover from the surgeries.

WHEN WYATT WAS DIAGNOSED This past summer during football practices, Wyatt’s coaches noticed his difficultly breathing and trouble keeping up. It was out of character for Wyatt who, Zepha said, is athletic and one of the bigger guys on the team. While they thought it might be asthma, his symptoms quickly turned flu-like. Zepha took him to the St. Margaret’s Walk-in Clinic, where the doctor there quickly picked up on abnormalities and sent them to the emergency room. After undergoing tests, the doctor pulled Zepha and Shawn into his office.

truck volumes in recent years. “It has steadily increased and continues to increase,” Schaefer said. And Schaefer said Interstate 80 continues to be problematic, especially to the east in the Joliet area. The Illinois Department of Transportation plans to replace the Des Plaines River bridge on Interstate 80 in the next ﬁve years, but Shaefer said he hopes the state considers adding another lane to the interstate from Joliet across the state to the Quad Cities. “We would hope in the long range they would extend that third lane,” he said. Luckey said while there is some congestion in the area, it’s nothing too severe compared to other roads in the region. “It can be heavy, but it’s nothing to get too excited about,” he said.

IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE HOLDING UP? Monday, the Illinois Department of Transportation released its annual ﬁve-year plan showing the state plans to spend $23 billion on road improvements by 2025. Gov. J.B. Pritzker said this is double what the state was originally planning to spend thanks to the state legislator’s approval of the governor’s $45 billion Rebuild Illinois program last summer plus Illinois’ recent fuel tax increase. Millions of dollars will be spent on roads in the Illinois Valley area, including interstates and highways. Hartman said the improvements can’t come soon enough for routes like U.S. 52 or U.S. 34 where he has noticed the road crumbling away from the shoulder. “They just paint over the gravel,” Hartman said. “They have not kept up with the traﬃc.”

“It felt like the principal’s ofﬁce,” Zepha said. “Something was wrong.” While Zepha thought the doctor might tell them Wyatt had appendicitis or something that would require him to stay at the hospital, the last thing they expected to hear was he had cancer. “My husband and I could not believe what was spilling out of this doctor’s mouth,” Zepha said. Wyatt was Life-Flighted to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Peoria where it became clear that he had T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He will continue vigorous chemotherapy for eight to 10 months and then undergo two years of maintenance chemo. While Zepha said he’s staying strong and taking it well, he is bummed about missing out on sports. Wyatt was able to be transferred to Boston before Age and Shawn’s kidney surgeries. He will continue his chemotherapy there for the next several months while the family stays with Age. In December, they plan to return to Princeton. Zepha said the family is homesick. Wyatt especially misses his friends, school and eating at his favorite restaurant, Los Ranchitos. They are forever grateful for the support system back home that is keeping an eye on their three daughters (ages 20, 16 and 5). Zepha said they are hanging in there through this new journey, too, but she worries about their well-being, as any mother would.

Luckey said any improvements would be welcome, but local roads are not any worse than others in the region. “I don’t think we’re being shortchanged by the type of highways we have,” he said. “But we’d be tickled pink if they were better.” And Schaefer said his organization was in favor of the fuel tax increase to help pay for these improvements. Now it’s up to the state to make sure they go ahead as planned. “Our wish right now is there is wise management and wise use of the new infrastructure funding,” he said. “(Illinois) is the transportation hub of the Midwest and as a result we depend on infrastructure.” Brett Herrmann can be reached at (815) 220-6933 or bherrmann@shawmedia.com.

Strike talks last into the night

KASBEER — A 31-year-old Bureau County woman was found dead at the scene of a crash in a creek at about 7:36 a.m. Thursday southwest of Kasbeer. Bureau County deputies responded to a report of a vehicle in a creek about an eighth of a mile west of 1950 East Road on 2400 North Road. They discovered damage to the vehicle, and upon further examination of the scene, Grace Slaight, 31, of rural Ohio, Illl., was found deceased, according to Bureau County Sheriﬀ James Reed.

Man falls overboard on Illinois River Search lasts about 2 hours By Brett Herrmann NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

HENNEPIN — After about a two-hour search, local fire emergency crew members recovered the body of a man who fell overboard on the Illinois River between Hennepin and Henry Friday night. Hennepin and Henry fire departments were called around 7:15 p.m. after a man reportedly fell out of a fishing boat around the 201 mile marker on the river, or about five miles north of the Route 18 bridge in Henry. The boat was in the vicinity of Senachwine and Swan lakes. Standard fire also was called since the department has a Hovercraft vessel. The fire departments located the boat the man fell out of and began searching. Around 9:20 p.m. the body was recovered. Illinois Conservation Police Sgt. Phil Wire said his department had been called to the scene and would be investigating since it is a recreational vessel. Putnam County Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard were both notified of the incident. Authorities were working on bringing in a helicopter to assist with the search. Peru River Rescue was called to assist with the search around 8:15 p.m. The Illinois River near Henry is currently at 15.46 feet, about 7.5 feet below flood stage, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Mendota High students join march supporting grade school teachers Mendota High School soccer players (from left) Johnathan Cortez, Abraham Guzman, Eli Arjes and Yahir Diaz walk the picket line in front of Blackstone School in Mendota holding signs and supporting the elementary teachers. The players came out to support the teachers Friday morning. Mendota Education Association members and the Mendota grade school board returned Friday afternoon to a neutral site — Mendota High School — for their third negotiation session over contract disagreements since the strike began Oct. 16. There was no negotiation session on Thursday, and Wednesday’s session lasted until 3 a.m. Thursday, with the teachers announcing that the board has been engaging in regressive bargaining. The teachers and board entered Friday’s session still in disagreement over the salary schedule as well as issues including contribution levels toward retirement and toward family members’ insurance premiums. School board president Sean Pappas said at 10:30 p.m. both sides mutually agreed to conclude their meeting.

Domestic violence problem not going away A group of supporters gather in Washington Square Park to walk for the victims of domestic and sexual violence. Susan Bursztynsky, president of Zonta for the Ottawa Chapter and director of Safe Journeys (second from left), speaks to the group before the luminary walk begins. Bursztynsky also was a speaker at the program that directly followed the walk and said Safe Journeys alone helped 550 clients this year and had 3,001 nights of service. In Ottawa, domestic violence issues are up 10% over last year. During the meeting there were three candles: two candles were lit for current victims of domestic and sexual violence and one remained dark in the memory of the ones whose lives were taken too soon.

Ottawa High board asks appellate judges to reconsider Burgess-ﬁring ruling By Derek Barichello SHAW MEDIA

OTTAWA — The Ottawa High School board is asking the Appellate Court to reconsider its ruling that the district’s ﬁring of a former teacher was “clearly erroneous.” The Appellate Court issued an order earlier this month to reverse the dismissal of Tim Burgess and send back the matter to the La Salle County Circuit

Court. The board maintains there was sufficient evidence to fire Burgess. The board fired Burgess, also a coach, in 2015, for what certain board members termed “inappropriate and unprofessional conduct,” based on his conduct at a September 2014 union meeting, a November 2014 union meeting and a December 2014 investigatory meeting. In January 2015, the school board cited disruptions at a

teachers union meeting as the tipping point with Burgess after a history of warnings on previous disciplinary infractions. After a hearing on Burgess’ termination, an Illinois State Board of Education hearing oﬃcer recom-mended he be reinstated. However, a majority of the board still held Burgess should remain fired. Burgess went to court to have a judge overturn the board’s action, but Circuit Judge Joseph Hettel up-

held the board’s decision. The Appellate Court then reversed it. Within its court filing this week, the district said there were several fundamental errors in the appellate judges’ assessment of the facts. When these errors are corrected, “it is clear” there is suﬃcient evidence to sustain the board’s dismissal, said the board’s attorney in the court document. Speciﬁcally, the district said the court put inappropriate weight on witnesses.

Time for an update?

By Steve Stout FOR SHAW MEDIA

Expressing pride in being a “debt-free community,” Utica trustees set a state-required public “Truth in Taxation” hearing next month to finalize a property tax levy increase for fiscal year April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020. “Even with the possible nominal increase, Utica will still have the lowest tax rate in the county as we have had in previous years,” said Village President Dave Stewart. Trustees did not decide on an estimated property tax rate, but discussions Thursday were centered around a possible increase of less than $10 for a $180,000 house from the previous year. The public hearing was set for 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, scheduled before a rescheduled village board meeting. TOURISM PROMOTION Director of Village Affairs Jamie Turczyn showed the trustees a recently produced “Discover Utica, Illinois” video that will be placed on Facebook and other sites online Friday. The video was created by local videographers Matthew Klein and Kyle Petersen to promote village businesses and local recreational opportunities.

Canal FROM PAGE ONE

the race cannot start at La Salle-Peru Township High School like it usually does. The race will both start and finish in Utica. “We had to cancel the bus company, L-P High School as well as La Salle (police and fire departments). They provided emergency service along the entire course,” Sobin said. “We are arranging for Utica Fire Department to provide course emergency service and Utica police to get our runners across the highway safely.” Sobin said race organizers have been working furiously to call and reorganize around 30 volunteers for the race. This year, everyone will check in at the former Waltham Elementary South, 248 W. Canal St., as usual. But they will not be shipped over to La Salle. Instead the race starts behind the Canal Market building on Hitt Street, which is about a two block walk from the school. The course heads north on Hitt Street to the towpath and then heads east towards Ottawa (a washout between Utica and Ottawa limits how far foot traffic can go) for about a mile before turning around and heading back to Utica, cutting across town, and returning to the towpath heading west. After about 1.5 miles on the towpath, runners will turn around again and return to Utica where the race will finish at the school as usual. The awards and after party have not changed, Sobin said. The race begins at 10 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 3. LAST YEAR FOR THE RACE After 37 years, this will likely be the final Canal Connection 10K for the area. Race organizers announced in July that a permit-to-sell fee — charging 10% of the race’s gross revenue — would be implemented by IDNR for using the state-maintained canal. Sobin and fellow race director Rosanne Abbott said the fee would mean the race would not earn, and could possibly lose, revenue. And for a race that takes months of effort to organize, the possibility of operating at a loss made it unsustainable. In past years, the state had granted a waiver to the not-for-profit Starved Rock Runners to forgo the fee. But this year IDNR did not grant that waiver. “Events held at our state parks and historic sites often require overtime staffing and additional upkeep to site facilities,” IDNR deputy director Rachel Torbert said in July. “To help cover that cost and recapture some of the funds required to host these events, IDNR requests organizations and not-for-profits selling merchandise, food or requiring event entry fees pay a permit-to-sell fee.” Brett Herrmann can be reached at (815) 220-6933 or bherrmann@shawmedia.com.

Sheffield man considers plea in child porn case By Kim Shute BUREAU-PUTNAM BUREAU CHIEF

PRINCETON — A Sheffield man facing prison for possession of child pornography, a Class 2 felony, has asked for longer to prepare his case. Kenneth D. Smith, 45, appeared before Judge Marc Bernabei on Thursday for a ﬁnal pretrial where his attorney, Eric May asked for a continuance. Smith was arrested Sept. 3 after state police executed a search warrant at his home. Authorities had been notified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Smith had downloaded images from the internet of girls, under the age of 10, engaged in var-

ious forms of sexual acts. During ISP’s search of Smith’s home, forensic examiners found hundreds of images of girls, between the ages of 5 and 7 years old, on his cellphone and another device. Smith admitted to police that he had downloaded the images, but claimed he deleted them once he realized they were of minors. May said in court that the defendant recently had received an oﬀer from the state and would like more time to consider it before moving forward. If convicted, Smith faces probation or up to 3-7 years in prison. Smith is free on bond, having posted $1,500, or 10 percent of his $15,000 bond on Sept. 4. He will next appear Jan. 14.

Facebook should not be the political speech police “We don’t fact-check political ads,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a recent speech. “We don’t do this to help politicians, but because we think people should be able to see for themselves what politicians are saying.” Byron York That might be simple NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE common ASSOCIATION sense to many Americans, but to some Democrats these days, and particularly the Joe Biden campaign, it’s a dangerous point of view. Biden recently complained when Facebook declined to censor an ad from the Trump re-election campaign that said, “Joe Biden promised Ukraine $1 billion if they fired the prosecutor investigating his son’s company.” Even though that is an entirely defensible assertion — “Everything in the ad is factually accurate,” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told me, adding that the spot was reviewed by lawyers prior to its release — and even though it is certainly in line with the political debate that dominates today’s news, the Biden campaign demanded Facebook ban the ad. “Whether it originates from the Kremlin or Trump Tower, these lies and conspiracy theories threaten to undermine the integrity of our elections in America,” a Biden spokesman said. “It is unacceptable for any social media company to knowingly allow deliberately misleading material to corrupt its platform.” A Facebook spokesman replied that the company made its decision out of respect for free expression and faith that a controversial ad will receive intense scrutiny in today’s media world. “In mature democracies with a free press, political speech is already arguably the most scrutinized speech there is,” the social media company’s spokesman said.

Not long after, Zuckerberg made a more complete defense of Facebook’s policies in a speech at Georgetown University.* The company faces a wide variety of problems when it comes to freedom of expression, he said. Some of those problems have solutions that have broad public support. For example, there is a consensus that Facebook should censor incitements to violence, or child pornography, or terroristic threats. But political speech is something different. Much of it is supposed to highlight differences in opinion. It targets divisions in the electorate. It can be rough. And that has always been the case. At Georgetown, Zuckerberg was clearly wary of jumping into the fray. “I know many people

disagree, but, in general, I don’t think it’s right for a private company to censor politicians or the news in a democracy,” he said. “And we’re not an outlier here. The other major internet platforms and the vast majority of media also run these same ads.” Zuckerberg explained at some length that, since 2016, when some Russian ads directed at the U.S. presidential campaign appeared on Facebook, the company has taken extensive steps to verify the origin of ads and to make sure they are what they purport to be. Facebook accounts that are widely viewed are required to provide a government identification and prove their location in order to run a political ad. Fake accounts are removed — the company recently said it took down four accounts linked to either Russia or Iran engaging in what it

called “coordinated inauthentic behavior.” But Facebook made a decision, in Zuckerberg’s words, to “focus on the authenticity of the speaker rather than the content itself.” After all, the content of some of the 2016 Russian ads would have been permissible if the ads had come from Americans. “The real issue,” Zuckerberg said, “was that it was posted by fake accounts coordinating together and pretending to be someone else.” Therefore, it is more effective for Facebook to focus on authenticity rather than trying to devise “an ever-expanding definition of what speech is harmful.” So Facebook chooses not to play the role of speech police, at least as far as political ads are concerned. “As a principle, in a democracy, I believe

people should decide what is credible, not tech companies,” Zuckerberg said. It’s an understatement to say Facebook has problems. It has abused its users’ privacy. There are legitimate complaints about its bias. It has a frightening power over the world of journalism. It could face government anti-trust action. But in electoral politics in 2020, the ad policy Zuckerberg outlined — if it is followed — would be the right thing to do. *FULL DISCLOSURE: I should note that I was part of a small group of conservative writers who had dinner with Zuckerberg at his home in California in late July. What was discussed was off the record, but it covered lots of issues facing the company. Facebook did not pay for any of my expenses.

political interests. Over three months, Taylor told legislators, he fought his way through a maze of diplomatic channels and rival backchannels as he tried to unravel the story behind the mysterious holdup of $400 million in U.S. military aid that Ukraine desperately needed in order to defend itself against the Russians. First came mixed signals about whether Trump would follow through on his promise to invite Ukraine’s new president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to meet with him in the Oval Office. Taylor was told by other U.S. diplomats that Trump needed “to hear from” Zelenskiy before the meeting would be scheduled. And that Zelenskiy needed to make clear he was not standing in the way of “investigations.” Next, Taylor wrote, there was “something odd:” Gordon Sondland, a Trump ally and U.S. ambassador to the European Union, “wanted to make sure no one was transcribing or monitor-

ing” a June 28 call that the diplomats made to Zelenskiy. Soon enough, Taylor was detecting that Zelenskiy’s hopes of snagging the coveted Oval Office meeting were contingent on the Ukrainian leader agreeing to investigate Democrats in the 2016 election and to look into a Ukrainian company linked to the family of Trump political foe Joe Biden. “It was clear that this condition was driven by the irregular policy channel I had come to understand was guided by Mr. Giuliani,” Taylor said. That was Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, now Trump’s lawyer who was involving himself in the Ukrainian affairs. The dueling channels were highly unusual. Then things got stranger: Toward the end of a routine July 18 video conference with National Security Council officials in Washington, “a voice on the call” from an unknown person who was off-screen

announced that the Office of Management and Budget would not approve any more U.S. security aid to Ukraine “until further notice.” From there, he made his way through a confusing web of conversations, text messages, cables and other contacts trying to figure out why this was happening. His diplomatic parrying was punctuated by a detour to the front lines of the Russia-Ukraine fighting in northern Donbas, where Taylor witnessed firsthand “the armed and hostile Russia-led forces on the other side of the damaged bridge across the line of contact.” The frozen military aid was no mere abstraction. The diplomat was so troubled that he requested a private meeting with John Bolton when the national security adviser visited Kyiv in late August. Bolton’s advice to Taylor: Send a “first-person cable” to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo laying out his concerns.

It’s autumn: Be certain to stock up on spiritual provisions There is a unique beauty to autumn. And I don’t simply mean the stunning color of leaves around the Illinois Valley. It is something deeper. Something of the rounding out, the worthy completion of our spring and summer. Rev. Paul As the days get shorter Carlson and the air LA SALLE becomes CATHOLIC crisper, there PARISHES is a sense of completion. The fruitful days of summer have passed, the harvest is concluding, and it is time to rest on our

TEC for boys coming Nov. 2 to Peterstown

provisions for the winter. This is the time of year where Christians also pause to recall the last things, remembering Jesus’ command to store up treasure in heaven. These spiritual provisions not only ready us for the winter of our earthly death, but eternal life in God’s kingdom. For Catholics, November is a time to honor and pray for our loved ones who have died, and to keep in mind that we too must die to this world. Death is perhaps something difficult for us to think about, especially our own deaths. But it is important. That our natural life has an ending means that it has a purpose. We are not hopeless wanderers through this failing world; we have a mission to be about with a set number of days to accomplish it. St. Benedict, in the Holy Rule, encouraged

his monks to “keep death daily before your eyes.” This image of death isn’t meant to depress the poor monks. It is to make sure they live with the goal in mind. As Malachi Pancoast brilliantly points out: “the odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.” If our life on earth is to be punctuated in eternity, it needs to end well. We need to aim the trajectory of our lives at a holy and happy death. Maybe this means we live our lives on earth in a more modest way. No doubt we are called to refuse much of the glory and honor and wealth of this world in pursuit of our goal. In this, let’s not hesitate to be single-minded. St. Francis of Assisi’s epitaph was “dead before death, alive after death.” What a bargain to sacrifice the temporary for the permanent,

the limited for the limitless! One of the practical things we can do this month is to review our final plans. We must live spiritually prepared for death. But it is also a great kindness to our families to make sure we have our plans in place. So often loved ones, burdened with grief, are then further laden down with the difficulty and frustration of closing bank accounts, looking up insurance information, and locating beneficiary forms. Each of the priests of the Illinois Valley can tell heartbreaking stories of faithful, some attending Mass daily, who did not receive a funeral service because they never made their plans known to their children. As a priest, I was required to have my will and funeral plans on file with the Diocese within 40 days of my ordination. It was

a surreal experience at the age of 29 to be planning my funeral and making arrangements with a cemetery. But spiritually, it was very fruitful! A few weeks ago, I reviewed these files and put a copy of them in my desk drawer, clearly labeled “If I Die.” Mentioning this at the Salad Luncheon at Nativity Parish, Fr. Michael Schaab smiled at me and said it should read, “When I Die.” I fixed the label. Despite the idea of “the autumn years of life,” the fact is, we do not know when our time here will wrap up. Living instead for life eternal and making all the spiritual and practical preparations isn’t morbid but liberating. So, while I’m not excited to die, I am excited to make preparations: a good life, a worthy death, and an eternity in the summer of Heaven.

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois’ new reproductive health care law is a “blatant violation” of residents’ religious and conscience rights, a pro-life law firm official said. The Thomas More Society, based in Chicago, filed a complaint this week with the U.S. Health and Human Services’

Office for Civil Rights alleging an element of the Reproductive Health Act breaches federal law. Senior Counsel Peter Breen said when Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the statute June 12 his firm would mount a legal challenge. It is now asking the federal government to “prevent or halt” that law from being enforced. “The State of Illinois’ out-of-

touch determination to enshrine a so-called right to abortion on demand gives it no authority to run roughshod over our real, fundamental right to be free from coerced participation in abortion, including by a mandate from on high that we cover it in our health insurance plans,” according to the firm’s complaint. The reproductive health care law makes access to pregnancy

care, contraception, birth control, abortion procedures and other related benefits a fundamental right, meaning no level of government in Illinois can infringe upon a woman’s or man’s access to those services. It additionally mandates private insurance companies regulated by the state cover abortions if they also cover pregnancy-related benefits.

Dear Harriette: I get invited to events all the time with my work. Occasionally my husband wants to go, but not most of the time.

Tigers take title

Cavs blanked for third straight game By Jacob Bartelson SHAW MEDIA

MAPLE PARK – Kaneland’s defense has a “bend but don’t break” mentality. Chief among the concerns for any defense is to obviously keep the opponents out of the end zone at all costs. The Knights certainly handled that aspect, handing the La SallePeru offense its third consecutive shutout to end the regular season with a 31-0 rout at Kaneland on Friday. After taking a somewhat meager 3-0 lead into the half, Kaneland’s offense exploded for 28 unanswered points. Defensively, the Knights harassed the Cavaliers’ offense into three turnovers and limited a difficult option-style rushing attack to a combined 114 yards across six different rushers. “That’s a battle we’ve won,” Kaneland coach Pat Ryan said on the defensive effort. “Our defense did a good job of that tonight.” Kaneland struck on a 36-yard field goal by Andreas Matarangas with 1.7 seconds left in the first half to give the Knights a 3-0 lead. L-P had 81 combined rushing yards in the first half, but a fumble recovered by Kaneland’s Abbas Alkhafaji with about four minutes left in the second quarter sunk a promising drive, leading to Kaneland’s eventual score. “We struggled a little bit offensively in the first half,” Ryan said. “I think we kind of rallied at halftime. We made a couple of adjustments, and it made a big difference for us.” See CAVS Page B3

Princeton finishes perfect in TRC Mississippi for first back-to-back conference titles By Tommy Rose

SHAW MEDIA

PROPHETSTOWN — The Princeton football team ended its regular season on a doubly high note, with a 49-7 Three Rivers Conference Mississippi Division win over Erie-Prophetstown on Friday and achieving back-toback conference titles for the first time in program history, “It’s exciting repeating as

conference champions,” PHS coach Ryan Pearson said. “We knew that E-P was going to play us tough on their Senior Night. They weren’t going to the playoffs but still gave us everything they had. “I’m proud of our kids and how they responded. It wasn’t their best first half of football, but we challenged them, and thought they played a great second half. It gave us a great mo-

mentum that we need going into Week 10.” The Panthers had first crack at the ball but went nowhere until they had to punt. After a bobbled snap, junior Cameron Stout scooped up the ball and ran it to midfield for a first down to keep the first drive alive. The Big Blue defense held firm, however, forcing E-P to turn the ball over on downs.

1A PEORIA CHRISTIAN SECTIONAL: QUINCY NOTRE DAME 5, EARLVILLE 0

Bad eight-minute stretch dooms Red Raiders in final Earlville finishes season 18-3

By Brad Martin Sr.

NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS WRITER

EAST PEORIA — It was a tough, physical game at in the Class 1A Peoria Christian Sectional championship Friday night. Defense was the name of the game for the majority of the contest, but an eight-minute stretch in the first half belonged to Quincy Notre Dame and Seth Anderson as the Raiders ended Earlville’s hopes of back-to-back sectional titles with a 5-0 shutout. Six minutes into the game, the Red Raiders were whistled for a foul inside the box and Anderson was awarded a penalty kick, which he sailed past Michael Sansone for a 1-0 lead. After that, the Red Raiders were solid at both ends of the field and were winning the 50/50 balls, but Notre Dame’s defense was up the task and kept the Red Raiders’ offense in check. With 27 minutes left in the first half, Jarred Fries had a great look at the net in hopes of tying the game, but Griffin Kirn made a save to keep the Red Raiders scoreless. Earlville looked as if it was going to race ahead for a good

With a little more than 12 minutes remaining in the half, Anderson took over. Cayge Hughes placed the ball in the center of the field and Anderson did the rest, firing a shot past Sansone to make it 2-0. At the 4:08 mark of the first half, Ben Frericks passed ahead

of the defense to Anderson, who had a difficult angle, but once again found the back of the net for a 3-0 lead. Two minutes later, Anderson capitalized on an Earlville mistake to score his fourth goal of the game. “We had a good game plan on (Anderson),” Earlville coach Larry Heiden said. “He made a couple of goals that were pretty tough to defend and that See EARLVILLE Page B2

The Tigers went straight to work, taking less than a minute to put their first points on the board as they scored on a 48yard pass play from Tyler Gibson to Wyatt Davis. “That’s something that we worked on in our script all week,” Pearson said. “Credit the offensive line for giving Gibby time. Wyatt ran a great route and caught a great throw.” See TIGERS Page B3

MENDOTA’S YANNI KARAHALIOS Do you have any nicknames? My family always calls me Yanz. Do you have any superstitions? I’ve always thought that if I didn’t touch the goalposts before a game I would have bad luck because when I did touch the posts I would have a great game. What is your favorite Halloween memory? My favorite Halloween memory is when I dressed up as a werewolf in preschool. It was definitely one of the best costumes in my opinion. What is your favorite scary movie? I’m not really a scary movie type of person, but out of the ones I have watched I would definitely have to pick ‘Conjuring 2.’ If you could get advice from any athlete, who would it be and why? If I had the opportunity to talk to and get advice from an athlete, I would love to talk to David de Gee. He is one of the best goalkeepers in my opinion and any advice from him would definitely improve my goalkeeping skills. What is your most played song recently? Green Light by Lil Dirk. Last week’s accomplishments: Karahalios pitched a shutout in Mendota’s victory in the regional semifinal. In the regional final, he stopped two shots in penalty kicks to help the Trojans edge DePue-Hall. Karahalios on his performance: Throughout regionals, I feel I played pretty good. I got the shutout the first game and after that I felt good going into the championship. In the first half I feel like I could have done a little better. After letting in two goals in 50 minutes, I really felt I needed to do something and when we tied it up and eventually went into PKs, I felt really confident in myself. I knew the game was in my hands and I had to do something about it. Coach Nick Myers says: Yanni had a fantastic regional. He had a shutout in the Riverdale game and came up huge when we needed him in the championship. Ever time we needed him this season he stepped up. Stopping two PKs in the shootout was huge and gave our guys even more confidence.

The duo opened with a 6-2, 4-6, 10-6 victory over Carbondale’s Audrey Meador and Mia Newman. In the second round, Ernat and Klein fell 6-1, 6-3 to No. 5-seeded Jane Price and Mamie Kopec of Wheaton St. Francis. The Lady Cavalier pair bounced back with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Tinley Park’s Camryn Shupfyt and Phaul Barnes in a second round consolation match before being eliminated from the tournament with a 6-1, 6-1 loss to Fenwick’s Anna Dray and Mary Heneghan. L-P singles player Olivia Ernat went 1-2 in the tournament. She lost 6-2, 6-2 to Quincy Notre Dame’s Lia Quintero in

The Lady Cavs and Kaneland both ﬁnished the conference season with 12-2 records. Emma Happ served for 17 points and three aces to go along with six digs, three kills and three blocks for L-P (32-3), while Brooke Shirley contributed 21 digs.

With time running out, Gunner Kirk fired a shot that trickled in just ahead of the buzzer to end the game with a 5-0 Quincy Notre Dame victory. “This didn’t affect the outcome of the game, but this is the second year in a row that the officials were an issue,” Heiden said. “The fouls called on us were fouls, but they weren’t called at the other end and I think our guys who are already emotional being in a big game started to let their emotions get to them and Quincy Notre Dame kept their cool. Fouls were called correctly against us, but it was a different story at the other end. “I’m so proud of these kids and the run they have made the last few years. I’m just glad I got to be a part of it.” Earlville ends their season with a record of 18-3, while defending state champion Notre Dame advances to the Normal Super-Sectional on Monday with 15-8-1 record.

Overall, we played well, but he’s a good ball player.” Notre Dame coach Greg Reis said Anderson is able to do things on the field many high school players can’t. “Seth (Anderson) is a pretty special player,” Reis said. “He got things started with that penalty kick and then made a couple of shots that not a lot of kids can make. Our defense was solid all night after that.” The first 10 minutes of the second half were physical on both ends of the field as the defense for both squads dominated play. With 15:30 remaining in the game, Anderson put the pressure on the Red Raiders again with a pass to Jacob Hoyt, who just missed giving Notre Dame a five-goal lead.

Sports PREP FOOTBALL: ROCKRIDGE 47, ST. BEDE 26

Bruins lose finale but send seniors out in style By Don Baldin

FOR SHAW MEDIA

Senior night at St. Bede saw Trevor Mooney, Pete Sampson, Sam Maschmann and Nick Lough take the field for the final time Friday, and though they didn’t go out with a win, they did go out in style. Mooney scored the last Bruin touchdown and Sampson punched in the two-point conversion to cap a 47-26 loss to Rockridge in a Three Rivers Conference crossover. “Trevor has been our leader all year long and deserved to get that last score and we are happy he got it,” St. Bede coach Jim Eustice said. “Giving the ball to Pete at the end was a fun way to end the year and hopefully will leave a good taste in the team’s mouth and we can work hard in the offseason. We are young and with only the four seniors, we have a lot coming back to build on. We will work hard and clean up some of the mistakes we made and are looking forward to next season.” The game began with the Bruins taking the opening kickoff and driving down to the Rockets’ 7-yard line on the strength of a 19yard run by Braden Damerell a 21yard pass from Damerell to Tyreke Fortney, but the Bruins had to settle for a 24 yard field goal by Nick Pearce to take an early 3-0 advantage with 4:20 to play in the first quarter. The Rockets answered with a drive of their own, traveling 77 yards mainly on the strong running from Niko Zarlatanes, who plunged in from 5 yards out to give the Rockets a 7-3 lead after one period. The second period began with Rockridge getting great field position at the Bruin 36 thanks to a

“We are young, and with only the four seniors, we have a lot coming back to build on.” St. Bede coach Jim Eustice Wyatt Rudsell interception. The Rockets marched down and scored on a Brayden Deem pass to Cole Rusk for a 14-3 lead. The Bruins responded with a 58-yard drive. Ethan Sramek ran for 15 yards to help set up a 23-yard touchdown pass from Damerell to Fortney. St. Bede used a little trickery when it faked the extra point with Damerell, the holder, popping up to hit Pearce in the flat for the two-point conversion to make the score 14-11 with 6:10 left until halftime. The Rockets cashed in one more time before the break on a 22-yard pass from Deem to Rusk for a 20-11 lead. The Rockets extended their lead to 27-11 in the third quarter on a 7-yard run by Peyton Locke. In the fourth quarter, the Rockets notched the next two scores on an 11-yard run by Reem and a 58-yard pass from Deem to Nate Henry to push the Rockridge advantage to 40-11. The Bruins, who finish 1-8, answered with a 58-yard pass of their own when Damerell found Fortney behind the defense. Henry scooped up the ensuing onside kick for Rockridge and returned it 50 yards for a TD. Mooney capped the game’s scoring with a 3-yard TD run before the 280-pound Sampson, a defensive tackle, rumbled in for the twopoint conversion.

Tigers FROM PAGE B1

Jamie Reinhardt’s PAT kick was good to give PHS the early lead at 7-0. The Tiger defense kept the Panthers from making any progress on their next two drives. PHS was threatening to score at the start of the second quarter when an offensive pass interference call on the Tigers and a sack of Gibson set the Tigers back a ways. The Tigers collected themselves and proceeded to score anyway, and in style with a flea-flicker from Gibson to Noah Atkinson to Davis for a 36-yard TD pass to put PHS up 14-0. The Tigers got another break when Atkinson was able to recover Reinhardt’s onside kick, but the following drive was cut short when the Panthers were able to take over on downs when Ronde Worrels was stopped short of the first down. E-P was unable to take advantage, but PHS did on its following possession. The Tigers scored on a 31yard pass play from Gibson to Branden Haring at 5:33 in the second quarter to increase their lead to 20-0. Pearson noted that a critical block by Jacob Starr helped Haring get free to score. “It was a phenomenal effort by Jacob,” Pearson said. “We just ran a basic flood pattern and

Jacob saw that Branden had the ball and he made a great block downfield to spring Branden for the touchdown. It was an extremely unselfish play by one of our senior leaders.” PHS tried the onside kick again on its next kickoff, but the

Panthers were able to recover this time, mounting a drive that resulted in a touchdown when E-P quarterback Eric Robinson connected with Robert Munther to get the Panthers on the board at 2:37 in the second quarter to make the score 20-7.

L-P recovered its own onside kick in a scrum to open the second half, but a fumble at the Knights-20 was recovered by Connor Collins and killed the drive. “We’re getting good (offensive) drives, we just have to find ways to finish,” La Salle-Peru coach Jose Medina said. “That’s the biggest thing. We just have to find ways to finish and put points on the board.” Kaneland took a 9-0 lead with 4:39 left in the third quarter after a 43-yard Joe Smith touchdown to Max Gagne. A two-point conversion run by Smith bumped the lead to 11-0 Knights. A 20-yard touchdown run by Knights running back Evan Hogan (124 rushing yards) pushed the lead to 17-0 with 44 seconds left in the third quarter. Smith later found Gagne again for a 33-yard touchdown with 10:35 in the fourth for a 24-0 Knights lead. Smith rushed in for a 1-yard score to make it 31-0 with 9:12 left. Kaneland (7-2, 5-2) already has entrenched itself into a playoff

The Tigers responded quickly Ronde Worrels scoring on a 10yard run with a pass from Gibson to Davis for the two-point conversion putting the Big Blue up 28-7. The second half started with a setback for PHS when another

offensive pass interference call was made against them, losing enough ground to allow the Panthers to take over on downs. “It is what it is,” Pearson said. “We can’t do anything about the official’s call.” The Tiger defense rose to the occasion again, allowing the Tiger offense back on the field to score again, this time on a 60yard run by Drew Harp at 7:39 in the third quarter. “That was Drew’s first touchdown of the season,” Pearson said. “He just popped a trap play. The offensive line again executed really well to spring him. Once Drew gets loose, he’s pretty fast and he showcased that today.” The Tigers scored twice more in the third quarter with a 26yard run by Worrles at 4:52 and a 47-yard TD pass from Gibson to Atkinson with 50 seconds left to make the Tigers’ advantage 49-7 and set the running clock in motion. Now the Tigers wait for the postseason announcements tonight. “We just heard that Knoxville ended up beating Farmington, so I think the chances for us to have a No. 1 seed are fairly high,” Pearson said. “But I told our kids, ‘You have to come out and back it up.’ Certainly, it will be exciting for them to find out who we play. It’s great to see our name come up on the TV screen. “Come Monday, though, it’s time to go to work.”

Smith finished with 10 completions for 164 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing score. Both touchdowns went to Gagne, who finished with three catches for 83 yards. Wideout Colton Doll (2 catches, 15 yards), tight end Trevor Carlson (two catches, 28 yards) and running back Jack McIntire (34 rush yards, 20 receiving yards) were

among the highlights offensively for Kaneland. L-P (5-4, 4-3) needed a win Friday to cement its spot in the postseason with six wins. It will now await today’s IHSA postseason pairing announcement to see if it’ll qualify with enough postseason points. “We’ll find out with the playoff pairings,” Medina said. “We’’ see where we’re at. I think we will have enough (playoff) points.”

José Altuve doubled twice and scored both times, Zack Greinke repeatedly worked out of trouble, and the Houston Astros showed they were not going to go quietly, beating the Nationals 4-1 to cut their deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-seven Fall Classic. Houston can even things in Game 4 on Saturday night at Nationals Park. Washington will start $140 million lefty Patrick Corbin, while Houston manager A.J. Hinch will go with right-hander José Urquidy. Washington’s eight-game winning streak, tied for the longest in a single postseason, ended with a sloppy performance in the first Series game hosted by the nation’s capital since the Senators lost to the New York Giants in 1933.

Bulls rally to beat Grizzlies MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Zach LaVine may have led Chicago scorers, but it

was rookie Coby White who sparked the Bulls’ comeback. LaVine had 37 points, and White, the seventh pick in last summer’s NBA Draft, scored 21 of his 25 points in the second half as the Bulls rallied to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 110-102 on Friday night. Memphis built a first-half lead to 14 points before holding a 60-47 advantage at the break. At that point, White had a mere four points. The North Carolina product’s 21 second-half points included 8 of 11 from the field and 4 of 6 from outside the arc. “It was a team win,” the rookie said. “I was just one little piece of it. We got it done as a team. ... I was just doing what I can to create some type of spark.” Jaren Jackson Jr. led Memphis with 23 points and 11 rebounds, while rookie Brandon Clarke had 14 points, missing only two of nine shots. Grizziles rookie Ja Morant, the No. 2 pick in the draft, and Jonas Valanciunas added 10 points apiece. Valanciunas grabbed 13 rebounds.

Utica clears up Airbnb vacation home request By Steve Stout

FOR SHAW MEDIA

Utica Planning Commission members this week continued a public hearing tabled from Aug. 22 on allowing a special use permit for a short-term vacation home rental via the Airbnb booking site. The request, made by Jason and Aron Galvan, would give the couple permission to rent out a small canal house at 310 Towpath Road within Utica’s zoning district and adjacent to the historic Illinois and Michigan Canal. During the discussion, Jason’s father, Jim Galvan of La Salle, presented the commission a letter from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources that stated the agency, which controls the mostly unpaved canal lane, had no objections to the proposed zoning changes and limited use of the towpath access road. Hearing no objections to the zoning change, commissioners agreed to recommend the special use permit to the village board with the stipulation the owners would have to comply with any future regulations placed on such home-sharing businesses. Those restrictions could be adopted by trustees at any time with revisions in village’s bed and breakfast and or hotel and motel ordinances. Village attorney Herb Klein said the board will take up the Airbnb permit request for a formal approval vote in the near future. The property will be managed by the Galvan family who will live on a nearby farm. Although the village now cuts grass along its portion of the towpath, maintenance and any snow removal on the road, which is restricted to local property owners, remain the responsibility of the IDNR.

HALLOWEEN TIPS FOR OUR LITTLE PUMPKINS Costumes should be bright enough for others to spot you in the dark.

Visit only those houses that are well lit, and never approach a house alone.

Unfamiliar pets should be avoided. Even pets you know might not recognize you.

Trick-or-treat only in familiar neighborhoods close to your home.

Wear a watch that lights up, so you can read it easily in the dark.

Follow all trafﬁc laws and signals, and cross streets only at crosswalks.

Remember to walk, not run, from house to house while trick-or-treating.

Always carry a ﬂashlight with you when trick-or-treating at night.

Light your Jack-o’-lantern with a battery-powered light instead of a candle.

If there is no sidewalk, then walk on the left side of the road, facing trafﬁc.

Hand out healthy alternatives to candy, like sealed trail mix or raisins.

Stop and look in both directions before crossing the street. Car drivers may not see you in the dark.

Know your parents’ or guardians’ contact numbers and always keep them with you.

Quickly review your trick-or-treating route with Mom and Dad before you leave.

Jackets provide warmth. Take one with you on a cool Halloween night.

Don’t anger your neighbors. Cutting across yards is impolite and could be dangerous.

Young children should always be accompanied by an adult.

Buy costumes that are made of ﬂame resistant materials.

Eat dinner before you trick-or-treat and bag up those sweets!

Family time: New season of ‘This Is Us’ continues on NBC By BreannaHenry TV Media

any of us need a good cry every now and then, which may be why “This is Us” has become one of the most popular primetime soap operas since “Dallas” defined the genre in 1978. Showrunner Dan Fogelman (who also brought us “Galavant”and “Pitch”) has created a beautiful, touchingfamily drama that is as timeless as it is modern. You can watch it Tuesday,Oct. 29, on NBC. In case you haven’t managed to catch one of the 58 episodes that have aired since the series premiered in 2016, “This

Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia in a scene from “This Is Us” is Us” is a family drama rife with tragedy, romance and even some laughs to counteract the tears you will inevitably shed as you spend time with the Pearson “triplets,” their parents and everyone else who comes into their lives. Since Season 4 of the series has just begun, I’ll do my best to avoid

any spoilers, and instead attempt to introduce “The Big Three” to anyone who may not know them yet. The series opens in 1980, with Jack (Milo Ventimiglia, “Heroes”) and Rebecca Pearson (Mandy Moore, “Tangled,” 2010) celebrating Jack’s 36th birthday. Rebecca’s yearly rendition of “Happy Birthday Mr. President”is a little different this time — she’s heavily pregnant with triplets, so a sexy dance isn’t really in the cards. Though it opens with sweet comedy, I spent the last half of the first episode ugly-crying into my very confused dog’s fur. Jack and Rebecca lose one of their triplets during childbirth,

but after an emotional talk about lemonade with the doctor (that made me cry), a chance encounterwith a fireman (that made me cry) and Jack consoling his wife as she wakes up to the news (that really made me cry), the couple end up filling all three cribs they have waiting at home after all. They are known as “The Big Three” and we are introduced to them on their 36th birthdays in 2016. Justin Hartley (“The Young and the Restless”) plays Kevin, the eldest triplet, an oftshirtless sitcom star teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown. Second-born Kate, played by Chrissy Metz

The show punches you right in the feelings and will make you contemplate your own family relationships, no matter how dysfunctional they may be.

Stage to screen: ‘American Son’ gets TV treatment on Netflix By Jessica Gosse TV Media

WHAT’S NEW ON NETFLIX

“American Son” The Broadway play “American Son,” by Christopher Demos-Brown, makes the transition from stage to screen when the film premieres Friday, Nov. 1, on this streamer. The film carries over the original Broadway cast of Kerry Washington (“Scandal”),Steven Pasquale (“Rescue Me”), Jeremy Jordan (“Supergirl”)and Eugene Lee (“The Crumbles,” 2012) and brings to life every parent’s nightmare: the agony of waiting for information as the police try to find your missing child. Washington and Pasquale star as Kendra, a psychology professor, and her estranged husband, Scott, an FBI agent. The pair anxiously await news of their missing 18-year-old son from the South Florida police. Officer Paul Larkin (Jordan) and Lt. John Stokes (Lee) do their best to find the boy and to keep the parents calm and informed. This film is much more than your typical crime-drama. It explores the viewpoints of each individual and takes a look at the complex and changing dynamics between them all. There are a number of inter-

esting pairings to examine, including an estranged interracial couple, a black mother and a white southern cop, and an FBI agent and a local lieutenant. It offers an abundance of social commentary and heartwrenching emotional drama, so you won’t want to miss it. “Atypical” Season 3 Keir Gilchrist (“It Follows,” 2014) returns as autistic teenager Sam Gardenerin the Season 3 premiere of this funny and poignant series on Friday, Nov. 1. The first two seasons of “Atypical”have followed Sam and his family as they navigated some very trying times, including unrequited love, adultery, first relationships and more. Season 2 saw lots of changesfor the family as Sam finally developed a relationship with his classmate Paige (Jenna Boyd, “Complicity,” 2013). Plus, his sister, Casey (Brigette LundyPaine, “The Glass Castle,” 2017), experiences a surprising revelation about her sexuality, and the marriage of their protective parents, Doug (Michael Rapaport,“Prison Break”) and Elsa (Jennifer Jason Leigh, “Annihilation,” 2018), is severely tested. Season 3 continuesto track the fallout of those dramatic changes, and you can

find out how each family member is affected when it premieres this week.

WHAT’S NEW ON AMAZON PRIME

“Unforgotten” Season 3 On Monday,Oct. 28, Season 3 of this popular British crime drama launches. The series follows Detective Chief Inspector Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker, “Last Tango in Halifax”) and her partner, Detective Sergeant Sunil “Sunny” Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar, “Goodness Gracious Me”), as they investigate cold cases in London. Unlike most crime dramas, “Unforgotten” doesn’t go through a new case each episode, but rather it focuses each season on a single case,examining every angle and revealing all secrets. Season 1 saw the duo look into the murderof a 17-year-old boy who disappeared in 1976, while Season 2 featured the murder of a ConservativeParty consultant who went missing in 1990. This time around, Cassie and Sunny investigate a missing teenage girl whose body is found at a building site off the motorway.Friendships are tested as a group of old school friends — played by Alex Jennings (“Victoria”), Kevin McNally (“Pirates of the Caribbe-

Kerry Washington and Steven Pasquale in “American Son” an: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” 2017), Neil Morrissey (“Crucible of the Vampire,” 2019) and James Fleet (“Outlander”) — have their past uprooted and brought into the spotlight. Catch up on the first two seasons of “Unforgotten” just in time for the Season 3 premiere.

WHAT’S NEW ON APPLE TV+: “The Morning Show” They say“the news is only half of the story,” and on Friday, Nov. 1, Apple TV+ shows just

how true that statement is with the series premiere of “The Morning Show.” The series follows the hosts and crew of a local morning show as they cope with the ever changingentertainment industry. Starring AcademyAward winner Reese Witherspoon (“Big Little Lies”) as Bradley Jackson, a reporter from West Virginia who joins the show after a video of her goes viral, Jennifer Anniston (“Friends”) as Alex Levy the shows long time host, and Steve Carrel (“The Office”) as Mitch Kessler the shows scorned for-

mer host who was let go after accusationsof sexual misconduct, “The Morning Show” is certain to deliver lots of drama. Also joining the already impressive cast are Billy Crudup (“Gypsy”) and Mark Duplass (“Tully,” 2018) who appear as one of the shows producers Cory Ellison, and the shows director Chip Black. Watch the already high tensions rise as this series depicts the power dynamics in the workplace whether it be between men and women or actors and producers.

HOLLYWOOD Q&A By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: When is “Doctor Who” coming back? It is coming back, right? A: There will be new “Doctor Who” episodes airing well into our future, which is great news for fans, but also a bit of a problem, because they also don’t start until well into the future. The most recent episode aired on New Year’s Day of this year, and the network announced at the time that Season 12 wouldn’t premiere until “early 2020.” Of course, there’s speculation that that means New Year’s Day again — the show has a tradition of doing a holiday season episode every year, and the producers have been keen to keep that sort of continuity up amid the other changes the show’s going through. Those changes include a new actor (Jodie Whittaker, “Broadchurch”) playing the Doctor — the first time a woman’s stepped into the role — and a new showrunner (Chris Chibnall, “Gracepoint”) who is keen to make the show as accessible to newcomers as he can. BBC has shown some faith in Whittaker and Chibnall, reportedly renewing the show all the way through Season 15. Q: Why can’t I find new episodes of “The Steve Harvey Show” anymore? A: I think you’re already expecting the answer you’re about to get, but you probably don’t know about all the hard feelings that resulted from the cancellation of “The Steve Harvey Show.” Cancellations are usually pretty reserved affairs. Broadcasters sometimes don’t mention them at all — it’s up to journalists and fans to get the message when new schedules are released with no mention of the canceled show. And when the stars who have lost their jobs say anything, it’s usually just a few comforting words about

Jodie Whittaker in “Doctor Who” how much they enjoyed the experience and how excited they are for what’s next. But, not for the first time in his life, Steve Harvey isn’t following the script. The official cancellation of “The Steve Harvey Show” came in May, with industry pundits saying it was dropped to make room for a new talk show hosted by pop star Kelly Clarkson. But months earlier, Harvey already suspected the end was coming, and he wasn’t afraid to talk about it. He was a headline speaker at a major entertainment biz conference in January, and he said then that NBC was going to drop his show in favor of Clarkson’s. He also said that he wasn’t happy about how it went down. “I thought it would’ve been nice of them to come to me — as being the only dude that’s survived [in daytime TV] for them for seven years — and say, ‘Steve, we’re thinking about doing this.’ But no, they just made an announcement. So when you do that, I gotta make announcements, too.” He made one more announcement about it, this time on Instagram, the day before his final episode. The message this time was a little more positive. “Your life ain’t nothing but a book … I got my finger on the corner of the page. All I’m doing is I’m about to turn it.” Q: In the TV series “Yellowstone,” Kevin Costner’s son

planted a bomb on their enemy’s plane. But then the plot carried on from there and [spoiler omitted]. What happened to the bomb planted on the plane? A: I removed a major plot point from your question so that I can warn other readers here: I’m about to spoil the heck out of Season 2 of “Yellowstone.” If you haven’t already seen it but plan to, you should stop reading. With that out of the way, I can now say that you’re right — the bomb that Kayce planted on the Becks’ plane at the beginning of the second-to-last episode was made moot by the fact that they went ahead and shot all the Becks in the finale instead. It’s hard not to think that, amid all the tense things going on in the last few episodes of “Yellowstone,” the writers just sort of forgot about the plane. (There was also a kidnapping, a couple of fathers dying, and a lot of relationship drama to get through in just a couple of hours.) Of course, that’s not to say the plane plot was wasted. One conflict that ran throughout this season has been the one within Kayce Dutton’s soul — will he grow into a wise and kind man, or a vengeful and hard one? His decision to plant a bomb in the plane was a big swing toward the bad side. But there’s still hope for him. The season ended with Kayce’s tearful reunion with his son after rescuing him from danger, and Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce, said in a teaser video for Season 3 that the upcoming season will be a chance for his character and family to “heal” after all this violence. So stay tuned. Season 3 is already in production and is likely to air next summer, in keeping with the past two.

Those who live less than a mile away from the ocean are less likely to have depression or anxiety — yeah, because you’re rich! Researchers are saying that people who live close to water have lower levels of anxiety … unless, of course, that water is a trench filled with snakes or alligators.

Late Night With Seth Meyers

House Democrats this afternoon subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani for documents related to his communications with Ukraine. Said Rudy, “Sure, anything to help!” I’m kidding. He turned into a bat and flew into a window. President Trump today continued to defend his controversial phone call with the president of Ukraine, tweeting that it, quote, “could not have been nicer, warmer, or better.” Hey man, you’re not getting impeached over bad phone manners. You solicited a bribe. If a bank robber says, “Put the money in the bag, please and thank you,” he still goes to jail.

Victoria’s Secret, the clothing company that created the most iconic intimate apparel for women, is owned by a company named L Brands, and the CEO of L Brands is someone named Leslie Wexner. When I first heard this, I was like, “This is great! You go Leslie!” And then I did some Googling, and it turns out Victoria’s secret is that she’s an old white guy. I’m trying my best to limit my time on social media. It’s because I recently read a study that said too much social media can impact your posture.

FEATURE STORY

Not your average mystery: CW’s ‘Nancy Drew’ re-invents the heroine By Kyla Brewer TV Media

ou can’t keep a good woman down. Nancy Drew may be close to 100 years old, but she’s still going strong. Few characters have captured the imagination of millions of fans like the iconic teenage sleuth, and she’s back on television with a fresh new series. Kennedy McMann (“Gone”) stars as the eponymous character in “Nancy Drew,” airing Wednesday, Oct. 30, on CW. The episode will mark the fourth in the series, which is set in modern-day Horseshoe Bay, Maine. Nancy, who’d given up crime solving following the devastating death of her mother, has been drawn back into a new mystery when she and four of her peers find themselves suspects in a murder case. Nancy Drew first appeared in 1930’s “The Secret of the Old Clock,” written by Mildred Wirt Benson under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. She was strongwilled and intelligent, not unlike the new Drew, but CW’s take on the character is a tad more edgy. “Nancy’s not the prim and proper, perfect Nancy Drew you know from the 1930s books,” McMann explained in an October interview with cosmopolitan.com. It isn’t uncommon for Drew to change with the times, of course — she’s undergone many a makeover since her 1930 debut, including a very 1970s version of the sleuth in “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries” starring Pamela Sue Martin (“Dynasty”). Here’s a fun fact: Martin guest stars in the pilot of this new series. CW’s drama offers not just a character makeover, but a whole new element to the story: a supernatural storyline. Not only will our heroine be investigating mysteries new and old, she’ll also be dealing with some very creepy clues, from a bloody wedding dress to a cryptic message hidden behind wallpaper. Judging by early trailers for the series, this isn’t your grandmother’s Nancy Drew.

When the series premiered, Nancy had been working at a local diner as she counted down the days until she could reapply for college — her academic career stalled by the untimely death of her mother. But when a socialite was murdered, police suspected Nancy and other teens near the scene of the crime could be linked to the case. Despite their differences, the teenagers realize they’ll have to work together to clear their names. McMann’s castmates include Leah Lewis (“Charmed”) as George Fan, Nancy’s high school nemesis. Maddison Jaizani (“Into the Badlands”) appears as Bess Marvin, a wealthy girl hiding a secret past. Fans of the novels may remember Bess and George as Nancy’s best friends who often helped her solve mysteries. However, the characters are getting a whole new treatment in the CW series. Nancy’s boyfriend, Ned “Nick” Nickerson, is played by Tunji Kasim (“Nearly Famous”). Alex Saxon (“The Fosters”) rounds out the cast of teens as “amiable burnout” Ace. Nancy’s return to sleuthing puts her at odds with her widowed father, Carson Drew (Scott Wolf, “Party of Five”). Originally, Freddie Prinze Jr. (“I Know What You Did Last Summer,” 1997) had been cast as Carson Drew, but in May it was announced that Wolf would take over the role in a reportedly amicable split. Complicating matters for Nancy is the fact that her dad is now dating Detective. Karen Hart (Alvina August, “The Boys”). Nancy’s investigation not only uncovers secrets from her father’s past, but it also unearths a link to a long unsolved local murder. As she delves into the mystery behind the death of Horseshoe Bay’s most infamous Sea Queen, Lucy Sable, who wore her crown for just one night. The ghost of Dead Lucy (Stephanie Van Dyck, “Legion”), as she’s known, seems to haunt Nancy as she hunts down clues. It may be difficult for fans of the book series to accept this paranormal new take on Drew. After all, the level-headed teen sleuth has been known for

Kennedy McMann stars in “Nancy Drew” crime solving, not ghost hunting, but CW seems to know what it’s doing. The network has seen great success with another reimagining of classic characters in “Riverdale,” which follows the lives of Archie Andrews (KJ Apa, “A Dog’s Purpose,” 2017), Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse, “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody”), Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart, “Hustlers,” 2019), Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes, “The New Romantic,” 2018) and their pals from the “Archie” comics. Since pre-

miering in 2017, the teen-centered drama has become a phenomenon among teenage viewers, as evidenced by the 20 Teen Choice Awards the show has won to date. CW’s “Nancy Drew” has also been drawing comparisons to the network’s former mystery series “Veronica Mars,” which starred Kristen Bell (“The Good Place”) as a teen detective who solved crimes while living with her single dad. However, it would seem Mars was more a take on Drew than

the other way around. Nancy’s been around much longer and has been the subject of movies and TV series, some of which predate “Mars,” which ran from 2004 to 2007. Four short films featuring Nancy Drew were released by Warner Bros. between 1938 and 1939. In the 1970s, she appeared on television in “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries” and again in a 1995 TV series. ABC aired the made-for-television film “Nancy Drew” in 2002, and an unrelated feature film fol-

lowed in 2007 starring Emma Roberts (“American Horror Story”) in the title role. The character hit the big screen again in March in “Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase” (2019). Nancy Drew’s story has been told many times before, but CW offers a new twist on the character with its new show. Fans of the traditional Nancy may be reluctant to give the series a chance, but it’s worth a look. Check out “Nancy Drew,” airing Wednesday, Oct. 30, on CW.

SPORTS FEATURE Finals at the Rugby World Cup: Nations look to hold Webb Ellis Cup By Ryan Guebert TV Media

he International Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, is set for a big week of games and festivities as the 2019 Rugby World Cup wraps up semifinal matches on Sunday, Oct. 27, teeing up the final on Saturday, Nov. 2. Tune in to NBC Sports for live coverage of the games as nations from around the world look to raise the greatest trophy in international rugby. Famously referred to as the “All Blacks,” New Zealand entered the tournament as defending World Cup champion. With an overall record of 452-21-122 (a 77.2 win percentage), the All Blacks’ dominance of the sport is nearly as intimidating as the traditional dance (known as a “haka”) they perform in front of their opponents before each match. New Zealand won its third World Cup title at the 2015 tournament held in England, where it defeated Australia in the

final, 34-17, and lifted the Webb Ellis Cup for the second time in a row. Only four nations have raised the Webb Ellis Cup since the World Cup’s inception in 1987: New Zealand (3), Australia (2), South Africa (2) and England (1). The cup is a 1906 trophy made by Carrington and Co. of London, inspired by a Victorian design of a 1740s cup by Paul de Lamerie. “The International Rugby Football Board” and “The Webb Ellis Cup” are engraved on the face of the trophy to commemorate the alleged inventor of rugby football, William Webb Ellis. Find out if New Zealand will get the opportunity to perform a haka at the International Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, and claim the first ever “three-peat” at the Rugby World Cup. Semifinal matches end on Sunday, Oct. 27, with the final match taking place on Saturday, Nov. 2. Tune in to NBC Sports for live coverage of all the games.
