Yes, they’ll still bust you for pot

Judge hands defense a setback in Ottawa drowning case By Tom Collins

Recreational marijuana will be legal in 52 days, so cops like Peru officer Bradley Anderson aren’t seizing it anymore, right? Well, think again. Court records show no decline in cannabis enforcement and police say they’re determined to seize, through Dec. 31, any pot recovered during traffic stops and searches.

Think cops are giving up on enforcement? They aren’t. stores or in your car.

By Tom Collins NEWSTRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER

If the weekend weather is clear and the parking lot is full, Phil Wire will inevitably catch a whiﬀ of marijuana somewhere on the trails at Starved Rock State Park. Wire is a sergeant with Illinois Conservation Police and cannabis at the parks is a problem that has long tested his patience, not least because falls happen even when visitors aren’t impaired. It’s only gotten worse since cannabis was decriminalized and since the Legislature legalized recreational cannabis starting Jan. 1. Wire and his staﬀ still issue tickets to those they catch in the act, however. Pot remains completely illegal for another 7½ weeks and even after Jan. 1 you still can’t light up at the parks — or anywhere in the open, for that matter. “Not only can’t you smoke it in public but those under 21 cannot possess it at all,” Wire said. “We still will be enforcing those laws.”

Editor’s Note: This is an installment in a periodic series on what people should know ahead of the legalization of recreational cannabis taking effect Jan. 1.

Discreet users could be forgiven for thinking that marijuana has become quasi-legal. Pot was decriminalized three years ago statewide, and Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed recreational cannabis into law this past June. But full legalization doesn’t begin for another 52 days and police are still writing tickets to educate violators on how the still-unfolding law is going to work. Get ticketed for smoking a joint and you’re likely to get a reminder that marijuana won’t be 100% legal even after Jan. 1: Under the new law you can’t smoke it out in the open, inside public places such as grocery

BEHIND THE NUMBERS A passing glance at the crime statistics would lead to the mistaken belief that police have thrown up their hands and quit enforcing cannabis laws. They haven’t. In La Salle County for example, misdemeanor pot arrests have fallen sharply — from 19 arrests in 2016 to just five this year — but what once carried jail time is now an ordinance violation carrying only a fine, and those offenses have ballooned by 71% over the same three-year span as misdemeanors fell off. In other words, cops aren’t seizing less marijuana — they’re simply filing the offenses under a different heading at the courthouse. The same trend is taking place in Bureau and Putnam counties. Bureau County state’s attorney Geno Caffarini said misdemeanor pot arrests, too, have fallen off a cliff and that pot seizures now result in civil offenses that don’t even cross his desk. Putnam County sheriff Kevin Doyle said he’s had zero mis-

demeanor pot arrests since the fall of 2017, all replaced by ordinance violations that recently cracked double-digits. “We still enforce,” Doyle said. “We’re not throwing out the law, if that’s what the public is thinking. It is still illegal.” NOT THE NEW ALCOHOL Getting users to awaken to the limits that will be in place come Jan. 1 has been difficult. Most of those caught violating cannabis laws think pot is no more regulated or restricted than alcohol, and that’s an oversimplification. “I think there are misconceptions,” Doyle said. “They think they can have this anywhere they want. It’s still not going to be legal to be under the influence at work or behind the wheel.” Alcohol presents a cautionary tale because a motorist found to have smoked marijuana, even days after the fact, can still be hit with a DUI.

TONIGHT

OTTAWA — Accused killer Kenneth Cusick still can raise the issue of why state’s attorney Karen Donnelly made prosecuting him a campaign pledge, but now there’s a risk: Donnelly, a judge ruled Thursday, could discuss a 2011 coroner’s jury that ruled Tracy Lynn Cusick died as the result of a homicide. Cusick appeared Thursday for a status hearing on his upcoming murder trial. He would face 20-60 years in prison if convicted of murder for allegedly drowning wife Tracy Lynn in a home toilet in 2006. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Dec. 2. Earlier in the case, Cusick and Ottawa defense attorney had argued that Donnelly, during her 2016 campaign for state’s attorney, had pledged to get an indictment into Tracy Lynn’s death. That, Ottawa defense attorney Hamer argued, is something the jury should hear about. Raccuglia agreed. Now, however, Donnelly is prepared to say she simply was following up on a coroner’s inquest from 2011 under then-coroner Jody Bernard. There, a jury heard evidence that it’s impossible for an adult to accidentally drown in a home toilet. Over Hamer’s objections, Judge Cynthia M. Raccuglia agreed that Donnelly can, if ordered to take the stand, cite the coroner’s verdict as a reason why she re-opened the Cusick case. “And that’s a hell of a good reason,” the judge noted. That leaves Cusick and Hamer with a potential Catch-22: They still can question why Donnelly pledged to get an indictment, but at the risk of the jury learning about a coroner’s verdict that otherwise wouldn’t get a mention at trial. Hamer also struck out on a second matter. He asked Raccuglia to re-think an earlier ruling in which she held jurors could hear about an allegation of domestic abuse from 2004. Though charges weren’t ﬁled, Kenneth Cusick gave a potentially incriminating statement prosecutors want to use.

Illinois/Nation 1 dead in SUV that went into river; Rescuers rushed to Ottawa

House investigators release more impeachment transcripts By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Eric Tucker

By Shaw Media

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

OTTAWA — A 39-yearold Ottawa man was found dead Thursday in his vehicle after emergency personnel pulled his SUV from the Illinois River in Ottawa. The La Salle County Coroner’s Office identified Matthew W. Rosenstiel as the driver Friday morning. The Chevy Blazer was pulled up from the Illinois River at Allen Park south of the river and west of the Route 23 bridge. Multiple agencies searched the river after witnesses told police someone drove a vehicle into the Illinois River at about 2:11 p.m. Thursday. Emergency crews pulled the SUV from the Illinois River near Allen Park at about 5:50 p.m. A coroner’s office official responded to the scene about 6:30 p.m. An autopsy has been ordered, Ottawa Detective

An SUV is pulled out of the Illinois River by a crane at Allen Park, which was closed during a two-hour search. Sgt. Kyle Booras said Thursday. The park was closed as emergency and rescue crews worked Thursday. Boats using sonar technology were deployed to search for the vehicle, as well as divers. Within four minutes of the call, Ottawa ﬁreﬁghters were launching their boat at Allen Park, with Ottawa River Rescue volunteers not far behind. Soon after, MABAS Division 15 emergency personnel, including a dive team, arrived with several boats and more advanced sonar equip-

ment, which was able to locate the vehicle about 40 to 60 feet from shore. The river depth in that area is typically 10 to 15 feet, although it could’ve been higher due to the recent high river levels. Emergency officials couldn’t provide an exact time frame of how long it took to locate the SUV, but Ottawa Deputy Fire Chief Brian Bressner said the actual search took about a couple hours, maybe less. “Having Division 15 there, they were here extremely, extremely fast in getting there,” Bressner said.

hearing was devoted to settling disputed autopsy photos. The judge admitted most of the photos, noting that modern juries see graphic images on TV and in the news and are less likely to be oﬀended or repelled than in past generations. Lawyers aren’t ﬁnished arguing pre-trial motions.

They will be back Nov. 27 for a ﬁnal pre-trial conference. Raccuglia had stated previously she means for this trial to proceed in early December. Tom Collins can be reached at (815) 2206930 or TCollins@shawmedia.com. Follow him on Twitter @NT_Court.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats released new transcripts of Trump oﬃcials’ testimony Friday as they pushed their impeachment inquiry toward next week’s public hearings. Investigators in the inquiry into President Donald Trump’s actions released hundreds of pages of testimony from Fiona

Bernabei explained it, authorities do not yet have a court-accepted testing method for showing impairment at the time of a traffic stop. That means police will continue relying on laboratory analysis to show impairment, and a lab test will come back positive for residual use. “Often times we won’t know if the person used cannabis minutes ago or days ago,” Bernabei said. “That in itself is a huge obstacle. I am concerned because innocent people most certainly will be caught up in a situation where the confusion and challenges law enforcement face about the new

Hill, a former White House Russia adviser, and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an Army oﬃcer assigned to the National Security Council. Both testified about their concerns as Trump pressed Ukraine to investigate Democrats. Vindman alerted superiors on two occasions, including after he listened to the July call in which Trump personally appealed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate political rival Joe

Biden and the outlier theory of a Ukrainian role in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. A whistleblower’s complaint about that call triggered the impeachment probe. Trump insisted earlier Friday he has not been damaged by testimony detailing eﬀorts by him and his administration to pressure Ukraine. Trump said he was “not concerned about anything” that has been disclosed so far.

law will cause reasonable, yet false conclusions. “I am really concerned about innocent people being charged with a serious driving offense when it may be months and month later before test results come back exonerating them. That is not good.” Users probably don’t know these things because they’re having less contact with defense lawyers these days. Ottawa defense attorney Joe Navarro would gladly brief his clients on how the law is changing but those nabbed for lowlevel cannabis offenses simply aren’t coming in. “It’s a civil offense now, so they just go into the courthouse and pay it,” Navarro said. “How long has it been since I defended one? It’s got to be a few years.”

Doyle acknowledged that even authorities are having difficulty keeping up with the changes as Jan. 1 looms. He was surprised to learn recently one consequence of legalized cannabis reported in Colorado is higher auto insurance. Cannabis has led to so many accidents there that a 22-year-old woman will, on average, pay $85 a year more in auto insurance than a 22-year-old woman now pays in Illinois. “The general public doesn’t have all the facts on this, or they bury their heads in the sand.”

Layoffs reported at sand plant By the NewsTribune staff

About 25 workers were reportedly laid off Friday at the Covia (formerly Unimin) facility in Utica, bringing the total number of workers laid off to a running total of 65. That total includes some office jobs, the NewsTribune was told. Messages left with a Covia spokesman were not returned before press time Friday; but a source speaking on condition of anonymity said the Friday dismissals have put half the plant out of work and the facility itself was to be idled by January. The layoffs mark a significant reversal of fortunes for the Utica plant, which in 2014 underwent improvements and added 45 jobs. Coupled with development of the Northern White Sand facility, Utica’s tax base swelled

by $3.1 million in the next tax cycle. Market conditions for certain types of sand from Illinois have fallen, and some companies have either halted expansion, shed jobs or idled facilities. A laid-off Steelworkers’ union member from the Utica facilities said the plant went from pushing out hundreds of rail cars a day to moving hardly any. The member, speaking on a condition of anonymity, said Covia has been building facilities in Texas, near oilfields, where frac sand is needed, cutting shipping costs. “When things were good, it was a great job. I don’t blame anyone,” the laid-off worker said, noting that saving a penny or two a ton on shipping can save millions of dollars, even if sand elsewhere is not as high-quality as that in the Utica area. “It just

NYSE stock symbol CVIA

sucks that 58 other brothers, and sisters, are out of work.” Some of the Texas sand is being mixed with the northern white sand from the area, but a local union leader for other nearby quarries said he believes some of the local slow-down is related to company budgets. Steve Russo, business agent for Operating Engineers Local 150 on U.S. 6 — the union which represents workers at Northern White Sand near the Osage Curves east of Utica as well as the workers on strike vs. the U.S. Silica facility northwest of Utica — said the Utica-Troy Grove-Wedron area still produces some of the purest, hardest, finest and best sand in the

world. Russo said a slow-down was seen at this time last year, and orders picked up in winter. He said members at Northern White Sand still are working, but without overtime. The plant and mine where workers have been on strike northwest of the Route 178-Interstate 80 interchange and west of a former campground has been closed since May 3, Russo said. The Utica plant was run by Unimin Corp. until the company merged with Fairmount Santrol in late 2017. The following spring the merging partners announced the combined company would be known as Covia Holdings Corp. (traded under the ticker symbol CVIA on the New York Stock Exchange).

Bigger and brighter than before La Salle’s Celebration of Lights starts next Friday with 30 new displays By Ali Braboy

A new light display at Rotary Park is William Black’s contribution back to the community. This year when passersby drive through the annual Christmas light display in La Salle, they’ll see a new one with two big standing horses with the initials “LVBS,” which stands for Little Vermilion Boarding Stable in Dimmick Township. The horse display is one of the 30 new displays this year at the annual City of La Salle Celebration of Lights, an auto tour through Rotary Park that has grown from a few lit-up signs to over 230 customer-bought displays. Black said the boarding stable isn’t looking for more business, he just thought it’d be nice to give something back to the community. He mentioned his grandkids play at Rotary Park all summer long. The public is sure to enjoy another new display at Rotary Park — Shelly Keegan does. “It’s super cute,” she said about a reindeer with a big smile and braces that will be displayed at La Salle’s Celebration of Lights at Rotary Park. “Everyone enjoys it,” Keegan said about Celebration of Lights. “Each year I’ve went, I loved it.” Keegan works at as a financial coordinator at Premier Orthodontics in Peru and said the office around this time last year decided to get involved with the display.

PRINCETON — Princeton Fire Department is receiving a $200,000 loan through a state ambulance revolving loan program, according to a state press release Wednesday. Illinois State Fire Marshal Matt Perez and Illinois Finance Authority (IFA) Executive Director Christopher Meister issued over $9.3 million in no interest or low interest loans to emergency responders across the state. Princeton Fire Department will use the extremely low-interest loan to replace a 2007 ambulance that had a lot of wear and tear and was starting to have maintenance issues. The department applied for the loan in hopes of trading the older ambulance for a new one. Under the ARLP program, units of local government (city, town, village, township, fire department, fire protection district) and not-for-profit ambulance service providers can apply for no interest or low interest loans of up to $200,000. These loans must be paid back in 10 years. ä Also, Annawan is receiving $350,000 through the fire truck revolving loan fund.

PRINCETON — A century and a half ago, Civil War cavalry soldiers swooped around opposing armies’ flanks and wreaked havoc behind enemy lines. Last month, Civil War cavalry re-enactors wound up doing a little damage of their own, unintentionally, at City County Park during Shadows of the Blue and Gray, Princeton Park Board members learned this week. In his report to the board Monday, Keith Scherer, superintendent of parks, said the ground was soft where the battlefield re-enactment took place Oct. 12 and 13, made so by 5 inches of rain that fell prior to the event. As a result, horses’ hooves dug deeply into the grassy areas. “The large field at City County Park did receive a lot of damage from the horses used during the event,” Scherer stated. “We have been repairing the damage since the event and will pass on those costs to repair the See HOOVES Page A5

As the number of displays continues to grow, the challenge becomes finding space for them while still allowing people the ability to see each and every display, said Jeff Bumgarner, La Salle public works director. He estimates there are 250275 total displays, which includes about 230 paid for by customer/sponsors. Ali Braboy can be reached at (815) 220-6931 and abraboy@shawmedia.com.

Bell called her favorite area of the fenced-in pasture, but the new bison didn’t seem to notice Pebbles at all until she had been running around for awhile. The two eventually met up in the middle of the pasture, becoming fast friends. The new bison already weighs 995 pounds and is close to 6 feet tall — and she’s only going to get bigger. “She was 445 pounds in 2017,” Bell said. “She’s a big girl and she’s only two years old. She’ll get even bigger; she isn’t done growing.” Bell said the bison feed on oats in the summer and once November comes they switch to cracked corn and hay. The new bison was brought in after 20-year-old Holly, Pebbles’ mother, was euthanized after falling ill. Holly was brought in to the park in 2005 and unbeknownst to the park management, was pregnant with Pebbles. “They got a buy-one-get-onefree deal on a bison,” said Paul Durdan, who manages recreation at the park. Bell said bison typically only live between 15 and 20 years when held in captivity. Midewin Tallgrass Prairie started in 2015 as an experiment to reintroduce bison into the Midwest in an attempt to restore the landscape back to its native tallgrass. “I have to make sure I thank the USDA and the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie,” Bell said. “They were able to help me get a new bison at no cost because of a surplus.” Bison are still found in the wild plains states like South Dakota and Montana. American bison once roamed the prairies of Illinois in vast numbers before the area became populated. Considered a circle of life, bison played a key role in the culture of American Indians. Buffalo Rock’s location specifically was used as a “blind can-

AMERICAN BISON FACTS: Bison are the largest mammal in North America. Male bison (bulls) weigh up to 2,000 pounds and stand 6 feet tall, while females (cows) weigh up to 1,000 pounds and reach a height of 4-5 feet. What’s the difference between bison and buffalo? They’re used interchangeably, but the scientific name is bison. Yellowstone National Park is the only place in the U.S. where bison have continuously lived since prehistoric times. You can judge a bison’s mood by its tail. When it hangs down and switches naturally, the bison is usually calm. If the tail is straight up, it may be ready to charge. Bison can run up to 35 mph. Bison are nearsighted. But they have excellent senses of smell and hearing. SOURCE: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

yon” to capture the buffalo. The large animals, which are equipped with horns and known for their thundering herds, are docile at Buffalo Rock. An enclosed shelter provides the bison with shade and water, and it offers visitors an up-close look. The shelter has windows from the walkway for peeking in. A trail wraps around the enclosure, giving visitors an opportunity to see the buffalo wherever they roam. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources takes care of the bison. Caretakers make sure they have enough food and water, and make regular trips to look out for their general well-being. Visitors are reminded not to feed the bison. NAME THE BISON? Bell said they haven’t named the new bison yet but their plan is to send information about their new acquisition to area schools to allow students to come up with a name, similar to how they came up with the name Pebbles.

turf,” he stated. City County Park received mention in other areas of Scherer’s report. He reported grass seed has been seeded in areas of the park where the horses for the Civil War event were tied up for the weekend. Picnic tables and bleachers had to be hauled to diﬀerent areas of the park for the Civil War event, then moved back to their original positions. About 20 trees of different varieties were removed in the upper level of the park by Guither’s Tree Service, along with one large sycamore and three medium ash trees on the lower level.

SHAW MEDIA

DIXON — Dave Hellmich is ingrained in the Sauk Valley, from cycling across its country roads to filling a seat at community tables as an advocate for the community college that’s shaped generations. Hellmich — a member of the Shaw Media Illinois Corporate Advisory Board, a collective of leaders from throughout the Shaw Media footprint, which includes the NewsTribune — came to Sauk Valley Community College as its president in 2015. He has worked more than three decades in higher education, including serving as an administrator and English professor at community colleges in Florida, Minnesota, and Kentucky. Points of pride during his time at the college include the resurrection of the agriculture program, the multicraft extended internship program, and the Promise Impact Program, as well as the Sauk Valley Community Leadership Program. The Promise Impact Program is in its early stages and would allow qualifying high school students to earn tuition and fees for up to 3 years in a career or transfer program at Sauk if they meet certain requirements, including 100 hours of community service. “I believe it will be the most important thing to launch in the Sauk Valley since the college,” Hellmich said of the program, adding that school officials think it will increase enrollment by 20%. The agriculture program came back to Sauk in fall 2017 after being absent for about two decades. It features agribusiness and career technical tracks as well as test plots on campus for hands-on learning. The extended internship program is a partnership with area industries and allows students to get paid work experience while earning a 2-year associate degree in the Multicraft Technology Program, which includes fields of electronics, electrical, welding and HVAC. Lori Cortez, dean of institutional advancement at Sauk, said Hellmich, who’s a first-generation college graduate, is a student advocate who believes everyone deserves an education.

event. The hope is reservation requirements will make the recycling collections more manageable. Instead of waiting hours in lengthy lines to turn in old televisions or computer monitors, residents will reserve a time to drop off items. These time slots will be set up by calling a phone number or making online reservations. Residents will not be able to show up the same day and recycle electronics without a reservation. In 2018, cars lined Etna Road in Ottawa to Route 23 for more than a mile, gumming up traffic and making it difficult to get to destinations in the city’s north business district. “We’re hoping the new setup cuts down on the traffic issue,” said Brian Gift, director of La Salle County Environmental Services and Land Use. Collection dates have not been set, but they will be scheduled between spring and fall, Gift said. “Hang on to those televisions,” he said. Gift also added there will be a larger list of items accepted. The list, along with new details on how to schedule drop-offs, will be released to media and posted to the La Salle County Environmental Services and Land Use website when dates are announced.

Sauk Valley Community College President, Dave Hellmich is a member of the Shaw Media Advisory Board a collective of leaders from throughout the Shaw Media footprint, which includes the NewsTribune. “He truly does believe he’s here to serve everyone in our community,” Cortez said. “He always makes sure people feel welcome here.” Hellmich joined the college during the state budget crisis, and as colleges and universities were making layoﬀs and shuttering programs, Hellmich went on a listening tour in the community, found that agriculture education was in high demand and worked to get it oﬀ the ground despite obstacles, Cortez said. “Under his leadership, we’ve been able to implement new programs, policies and procedures that are responsive to community needs,” she said. He also pushed for the college to fund Project Vital, an adult literacy and English as a Second Language program that’s usually funded by the state. Many colleges closed down those programs during the budget impasse, but Hellmich saw the importance of the program, which serves more than 200 people a year, Cortez said. The college is integral in growing the community as a place to work, raise a family and stay, Hellmich said. “I think the college is the linchpin in the Sauk Valley becoming a destination,” he said. “Lots of folks want the quality of life that the Sauk Valley can provide.” He also values open discus-

sions in collaborations, to grow a smart invested team working hard to critically analyze situations and make informed decisions. Hellmich, 60, is the president-elect of the Dixon Chamber of Commerce and Main Street board, serves on boards for KSB Hospital and its foundation, is a member of the #DixonStrong Leadership team, is chairman of the Sauk Valley Community Leadership Program and a board member of the Sterling Rotary Club. “It’s important for the image of the college, and it contributes to the expansion and contemplation of ideas,” he said. His staﬀ members also serve roles on boards for a variety of groups and organizations, to promote widespread community involvement. “He’s heavily invested in the community, and he encourages all of us to be connected,” Cortez said. He’s also part of the Shaw Media Illinois Corporate Advisory Board. Hellmich, who started as a paperboy when he was 8, is a strong advocate for the importance of newspapers, as they serve as the “critical conscience of democracy.” “The rights of the free press have been critical in this country’s history, and it’s critical now,” he said.

He’s concerned about the growing partisanship divide in the country and the danger of fake news, making it more important than ever to have a free, vibrant press digging into the truth. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in English from DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind., his Master of Arts in American Literature from Indiana University, and his Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from the University of Florida. His wife, Linda, is a clinical psychologist at KSB Hospital. They have three daughters and two granddaughters, with another on the way. Hellmich cycles 4,000 miles a year, favoring the scenery of the rolling hills north of Dixon as well as rides toward the bison of Nachusa Grasslands. Oﬀ the bike, he enjoys area events and attractions such as the Grand Detour Arts Festival, the Dixon riverfront and Rock Falls sculpture walk, and the Northwest Territory Historic Center. He grew up in a small Indiana town with similar industry as the Sauk Valley heavy in agriculture and manufacturing. He’s the fourth of 11 children, and his parents always taught them to treat others with respect. “Coming here was like coming home,” he said. “It’s a close-knit community with Midwestern, small town values where we feel accepted.”

Bad economic numbers only add to the president’s woes WASHINGTON — President Trump nears the end of his third year in office facing dismal job approval polls and the threat of impeachment by the Democratic House. A top National Security Council official who listened in on Trump’s conDonald versation with the president Lambro of Ukraine, NEWSPAPER has testified ENTERPRISE that Trump ASSOCIATION wanted President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate one of his political rivals. It was the first corroboration of a whistleblower who first learned about Trump’s scheme to get a foreign country to dig up political dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son — a country invaded by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, which seized its Crimean peninsula, and still threatens its survival. Trump’s latest job approval polls already weren’t anything to write home about, but the combination of this latest scandal and weaknesses in the U.S. economy have made matters worse. Real Clear Politics, the poll-monitoring website that computes the average of all U.S. political polls, reports that 53.6 percent of Americans now disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president, compared to 42.8 percent who say they approve. The latest mess Trump has gotten himself into couldn’t have come at a worse time for the perpetually embattled president. He had managed to squirm himself out of previous troubles by calling other charges of wrongdoing “a pack of lies.” But this time, his accuser is a combat war hero, and a Purple Heart recipient with an impeccable career record, who saw wrongdoing and reported it immediately to his superiors. “Trump and his allies on TV lashed out at Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who said his concerns about what he heard in Trump’s

July 25 call with Ukrainian President Zelensky drove him to notify his superiors,” the Washington Post reported Wednesday. “Trump dismissed Vindman as a ‘Never Trumper,’ while some of his allies questioned the patriotism of the Army combat veteran because his family emigrated from the Soviet Union when he was 3,” the Post said. But other Republicans jumped to Vindman’s defense. “We’re talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation, who have put their lives on the line,” said Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. “It’s shameful to question their patriotism, their love of this nation,” the Post reported. Vindman, a Ukraine expert on the National Security Council,

received a Purple Heart after being wounded by a roadside bomb in Iraq. But there were many other problematic issues swirling about Trump’s presidency, including the economy and a government plunging ever more deeply into debt. Among them: The Commerce Department announced recently that the U.S. economy grew at a snail’s-pace 1.9% annualized rate between July and September, far below the 3% rate the White House projected after enactment of the 2017 tax cuts. Orders for U.S. capital goods fell “more than expected” in September, the latest sign that Trump’s trade tariffs are hurting the economy. U.S. exports dropped 3% from

As for myself, I couldn’t be prouder to be a retired school teacher. Working with young people is a privilege and an honorable career.

The students of today will be the leaders, parents and taxpayers of tomorrow.

the previous year, the lowest in a year and a half, while capital goods orders, excluding aircraft, fell 0.5% last month. Reuters also reported this week that the manufacturing sector, which comprises 11% of the U.S. economy has been weakened by Trump’s trade war with our trading partners, undermining the U.S. economy. Meantime, the administration has been ballooning the government’s budget deficit like there’s no tomorrow. The U.S. Treasury reported last week that the budget deficit exploded by nearly $1 trillion this year, or by $984 billion to be precise. Trump promised to eliminate the federal debt in eight years, but it turns out the deficit has grown by 50% under the Trump

administration. The government shelled out about $380 billion in interest payments on its debt last year, and it appears that this administration has made little progress to reduce the red ink in its yearly budget. “This is the first time in our history that we are seeing a boom in the economy at the same time deficits are rapidly rising. It’s alarming,” said Marc Golden, senior policy director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. When the debt hit $16.7 trillion under President Obama in 2013, Trump called it “the most profligate debt in our nation’s history.” Trump’s debt is now over $22 trillion and climbing.

Appreciate your La Salle police, motorist says

I would like to shout out to M. Klinefelter and the entire La Salle police department. Unknown to me, on Oct. 18, I was driving on a flat tire. It was on the passenger side. All I knew is that my car was not driving properly. I had my hazard flasher on, driving 10mph, and trying to find an Joelyn Anderson, auto mechanic shop. Officer La Salle Klinefelter put on his lights

and pulled me over. He then proceeded to google where my spare tire was, and changed it. The whole time he worked very persistently and very hard. I tried to offer some way to repay him, which he denied. He then also suggested a tire store for me. Shame on those that don’t trust, like, or appreciate the police. That day, I had a police angel. God Bless. Ann Slesinski, Champaign

The Apostle Paul was persecuted extremely for his stand for Christ, yet he never wavered in his faith. When Paul converted as a Christian, God revealed to him that he was going to be persecuted. Paul became one of the greatest preachers and teachers the Church Rev. Jon would ever Wenger know. We first HERITAGE CHRISTIAN see Paul at CENTER the stoning of Stephen, OTTAWA a man full of faith and power martyred because of his testimony of Christ. The death of Stephen made a significant impact on Paul’s life! Paul’s message was instructive and corrective. First, he preached that salvation is found

only in Jesus, and there is no other name in Heaven in which men can be saved! He preached that Hell is a real place, that without the saving power of Jesus, all will go there. Hell is mentioned much in churches today. Sin is so powerful it took the blood of Jesus to defeat it! Fallen humanity can never save fallen mankind. Only Jesus can save. He is the message to be preached today and forever. Paul taught on the Holy Spirit. The Church was born at Pentecost, and the Church is to stay in Pentecost. He preached that all should be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and the gifts of the spirit are for today. These gifts should be in operation in our services, every gift of the spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12. Many churches feel uncomfortable with these things, so they avoid them. In Hebrews 13:8 it says, “Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever.” If Jesus has never changed and He is the baptizer in the

Holy Spirit, why is the Holy Spirit not being pursued today as Paul taught? The world can barely tell the difference between themselves and Christians because of the prevalence of sin. Sin is thought of as an addendum; it something we have outgrown. This is the common thought today. Many struggle with secret sins. Paul preached freedom from the grip of sin! (Romans 8.) With proper faith placed in the right object, the finished work of Calvary; freedom can be realized. God said faith is all that is required. Faith in Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Jesus’ death on the cross purchased our freedom for all, but you must realize it and rest in it through faith. Then we are to walk in that freedom by faith. Many followers of Christ are plagued with fear, doubt and worry, to list just a few, vur Jesus came to bring freedom from all these. Paul also taught that the Church will be caught up,

taken away very soon. (1 Thessalonians.) We call this the rapture or the resurrection of the Church. Soon, Jesus will return and take His Bride (the Church) away. The Church is to be without spot or wrinkle. Those who have died before us will be raised to new life, and those who are alive will be taken from this earth. This will happen in a split second, making it one of the most significant events ever to happen. When people say that they are bored with Church or their walk with God, I know they are not living as Paul lived. Paul took a stand against evil. He preached the truth of Jesus Christ. He suffered much, but saw the greatest miracles ever performed by God. You will find no better example of a life yielded to God than Paul. There is no better way to live than be all in for the Lord Jesus. Make a difference today and read about the life of Paul. Follow him as he followed Christ!

National growth of Islam spurs need for religious scholars

By Jeff Karoub and Noreen Nasir THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) — Imam Mohammad Qazwini’s deep understanding of Islam and his training at a seminary in Iran, draws students to

this suburban Detroit classroom. But there’s another attraction. The Quran, Islam’s holy book, is written in classical Arabic, but many of the students aren’t wellversed in the language. Qazwini navigates its intricacies effortlessly in the everyday English

they use, opening a door for many of the students. U.S. Muslims want guidance from religious instructors who they can understand linguistically and culturally. For U.S. mosques, the need to produce U.S.-trained religious

leaders is increasing. Traditional imams and scholars who once came from the Middle East or were educated in schools there are having more difficulty entering the United States since the Trump administration imposed a travel ban in January 2017.

People puzzled by peculiar texts, Sister says widowed and no one can really say why

Rapp T.I. faces backlash posted a series of clapback tweets Wednesday, starting with: “Idk who needs to hear this but virginity is a made-up social construct, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your hymen.” “And many other activities besides sex can stretch your hymen — like riding a bike (or) doing sports,” the nonprofit also tweeted.The nearly hourlong episode was later removed from many podcast platforms like Apple, though the episode was still listenable after a Google search.

NEW YORK (AP) — Planned Parenthood and others on social media blasted T.I. after the rapper said he goes to the gynecologist with his daughter every year to make sure her hymen is “still intact.” In an episode of the “Ladies Like Us” podcast that debuted this week, T.I. said that he takes “yearly trips to the gynecologist” with his now 18-year-old daughter. Social media blew up afterward, with people strongly lashing out at T.I. Planned Parenthood

If you woke up Thursday to a weird text that seemed totally out of place, you aren’t alone. A mysterious wave of missives swept America’s phones overnight, delivering largely unintelligible messages from friends, family and the occasional ex. Friends who hadn’t talked to each other in months were jolted into chatting. Others briefly panicked. The best explanation seems to be that old texts sent in the spring suddenly went through. Two people said they figured out the original messages were never received. It’s not clear why this months-long delay happened. Phone companies blamed others and offered no further explanations. Stephanie Bovee, a 28-year-old from Portland, woke up at 5 a.m. to a text from her sister that said just “omg.” She immediately thought something had happened to her newborn nephew at the hospital. She started calling everyone. Her sister and her sister’s husband didn’t answer. She woke up her mom, freaking her out. It was three hours before she learned that everything was fine and the text was an odd anomaly. “Now it’s funny,” she said. “But out of context, it was not cool.” Bovee figured out that people were getting some of her old texts that failed to go through when her sister and a coworker both got texts that she had sent in February. The text her sister received wished her a happy Valentine’s Day. Mobile carriers offered unhelpful explanations for the weird-text phenomenon, which appeared to be widespread, at least according to social media. A Sprint spokeswoman said it resulted from a “maintenance update” for messaging platforms at multiple U.S. carriers and would not explain further.

T-Mobile called it a “third party vendor issue.” Verizon and AT&T did not answer questions. Marissa Figueroa, a 25-year-old from California, got an unwanted message from an ex she had stopped talking to — and then he got one from her as well. Neither actually sent them last night, both said. Figueroa couldn’t figure it out, even worrying that her ex was messing with her, until she saw reports of this happening to others. “It didn’t feel great,” she said. “It just was not good for me and my mental health to be in contact with him.” A friend who’d just re-entered his life got a mystifying message from Joseph Gomez at 5:32 a.m. Thursday. In that text, Gomez seemed to assume she was on her way over to his house so they could order a Lyft. It took a half hour of back-and-forth texting and help from a screenshot to clear up the situation. Can their relationship recover? Gomez, 22, said it was “confusion, then awkward, and then funny.” No mixed messages there.

Dear Harriette: My father died a few years ago, and my mother told me that she has met someone who has been taking her to dinner. She wanted to make sure my sister SENSE & and I SENSITIVITY would be OK Harriette Cole with that. She UNIVERSAL and my UCLICK father were married for 35 years, but he is gone. We miss him, but I don’t think she should be restricted from dating. She is still vivacious but also lonely. My sister doesn’t agree. She says my mother should never date again. She had one love, and that’s enough. I think it’s none of my sister’s business. How can I referee this? — Widow Ready to Date Dear Widow Ready To Date: Get tough with your sister. She needs a reality check. Your mother deserves to have some joy in her life. Who knows if she will ever get married again? That’s not the point right now. What is at stake is your mother’s happiness. Help your sister to understand that your mother’s happiness is linked to how you react to her new life. Encourage your sister to welcome your mother’s new beau or to back off. She should not pass judgement as she has no idea how challenging it is to walk in your mother’s shoes. If your sister is concerned about this man or any man running away with your mother’s wealth or your father’s legacy, suggest that she address those things. She can do so independent of your mother’s date. She can point out that it is wise for your mother to protect herself. Talking to an attorney to set up her affairs is a wise idea. Your mother will hear her better if she is not judgmental. Dear Harriette: I was looking at social media and noticed that a friend of mine had a huge party and didn’t invite me. As I looked at the photos, I got really sad. I knew everybody I saw in the photos. It made me wonder why she wouldn’t have included me. It wasn’t like the party was for a particular cause or that it had a high price. It looked like it was just a really special get-together. What should I do? Part of me wants to write on her page to say, “Why didn’t you invite me?” I know that seems sad and desperate. But I feel sad. Would it be OK to say, “Looks like a lot of fun,” or, “Wow, what a great event!” At least then I would let her know that I see the party, and she will obviously know that I wasn’t invited. What should I do? — Not Invited Dear Not Invited: I like your idea of graciously writing on your friend’s social media page. By acknowledging how great the event seemed, you will let her know that you saw it and that you thought it was great. You should avoid being catty. Even more, don’t be sad. You cannot be invited to everything. So you missed this one. If you want to be invited to more events, get out there and network more. The invites will follow. You can send questions to askharriette@harriettecole.com or c/o Andrews McMeel Syndication, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.

Lexi Rodriguez added 14 assists, 13 digs and an ace for the Golden Warriors (34-6), who will face Nazareth in the state semiﬁnals at 4 p.m. Friday.

CLASS 3A SECOND-ROUND: PRINCETON AT HALL

Rivalry rematch

Freshman scores big for No. 4 Duke DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Those freshmen at No. 4 Duke are figuring out how to score at this level. It helps that they have a veteran sophomore getting them the ball. Tre Jones had 15 points and eight assists in the Blue Devils’ 89-55 rout of Colorado State on Friday night. Alex O’Connell had 14 points while three freshmen also reached double figures — Cassius Stanley led the way with 19 points, Vernon Carey had 11 before fouling out and Wendell Moore Jr. finished with 10 — for the Blue Devils (2-0). “That’s going to be our team — we’re going to play a lot of guys and see what works,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. They shot 54% and dominated the paint, hitting 70% of their shots inside the arc to win their 38th consecutive home opener. Wearing gray uniforms trimmed in gold to honor Krzyzewski — who led the U.S. national team to three consecutive Olympic gold medals from 2008-16 — the Blue Devils pulled away by closing the first half on a 10-0 run, then outscored the Rams 47-29 in the final 20 minutes. “We know that that’ll come — we’re still learning a lot of things about ourselves,” Jones said. “We’re really focused on defense right now, and that can lead to easy offense. We’re still figuring out our offense, bit by bit, and always keep learning.” Duke improved to 19-1 when Jones — the only member of last season’s star-studded freshman class to return for his sophomore season — scores in double figures.

Third playoff meeting for Bureau County rivals By Charlie Ellerbrock NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS WRITER

In prep football, rivalry games bring out many things in many people. For a community, it’s often pride; for a school, it’s excitement; for the alumni, it’s loyalty and for the teams, it’s hopefully their best performances. And throw in a playoff atmosphere, the threat of it being a season-ender, those aspects are all magnified. That’s why anyone claiming to know definitively who will win when the Princeton Tigers and Hall Red Devils meet at Richard Nesti Stadium in Spring Valley at 1 p.m. today is either blinded by school colors or kidding themselves and whoever they tell. .“It’s definitely a rivalry game, two schools very close to each other,” said PHS coach Ryan Pearson. “It’s one of those games where one team could come in

CLASS 2A SECOND-ROUND: ST. EDWARD AT FIELDCREST

Survival the key word for Fieldcrest By Kyle Nevins SHAW MEDIA

Survival and advancement are the only things that matter when it comes to the postseason. The Fieldcrest Knights and St. Edward Green Wave can attest to that from their playoff openers last weekend. Fieldcrest found itself down two points to No. 15 seed West Carroll through three periods of play before scoring twice in the fourth quarter to finally take the lead and eventually seal the deal. St. Edward trailed throughout in its contest until getting a late score to defeat Chicago Orr. “Very similar situations, for sure,” Knights coach Derek Schneeman said. “You always like to see your kids overcome adversity; you know, I’m sure (Green Wave) coach (Mike) Rolando’s saying the same thing about his kids. “We both were fortunate enough to pull it out in the end.” Second-seeded Fieldcrest (100) will face No. 7 St. Edward (7-3) in a Class 2A second-round playoff game at 1 p.m. today at Veterans Park in Minonk. The Green Wave, champions of the Metro Suburban Conference’s Red Division, have taken on the likes of 6A Bremen, 5A Elmwood Park (35-34 win) and powerhouse IC Catholic (4A) — all playoff qualifiers. “They’ve played some really good opponents and competed really well against them,” Schneeman said, “And they were in the 4A playoffs last year.

tingly with similar results. The first time was in 1989 when Princeton claimed a 13-7 second-round win over the Red Devils on their way to second place in Class 3A, having lost the title game 38-7 to Belleville Althoﬀ. The other was another second-rounder in 1993 when Hall topped the Tigers 21-13 on an overcast, snowy Saturday afternoon in Spring Valley. “We’ve had (recent) second-round playoﬀ games before, but it’s never been Princeton,” Hall coach Randy Tieman said of his eight-year tenure at the school. “It’s always a big game and you can throw the records out. They don’t matter … Anything can happen in these games. You come ready to play, you get a break like a fumble recovery or do something big and it can swing the game for you. “We’ve told our kids all week there’s no pressure on us. We’re

not expected to win, according to everybody, so we just have to go out, play pressure free and enjoy it, just playing football.” To say these programs know each other is an understatement. Formerly members of the defunct NCIC’s Southwest Division, they have been meeting in the Three Rivers Conference since 2013 with predictably neareven results: Hall taking the games in that ﬁrst year, ‘14, ‘17 and ‘18, Princeton in 2015, ‘16 and this year — a 41-0 victory on its homecoming in Week 6. In that contest, the Tigers defense held a Hall team averaging over 310 yards an outing on the ground to 3 yards, due in large part to containment of speedy Devils Marshall Walk, Cole Wozniak and Austin Heinecke on the perimeter and down ﬁeld. The Red Devils ground game has since rebounded, including See RIVALS Page B3

Worrels on his performance: I thought I played pretty well. My team and I played well together. We went out and played really hard. Coach Ryan Pearson says: Ronde deserves any accolades he receives. He is an extremely hard working and humble young man who always leads by example and puts the team first. He is a great ambassador for our program.

NFL: DETROIT LIONS AT CHICAGO BEARS

Pagano, Bears prepared for hot Lions QB Stafford By Sean Hammond SHAW MEDIA

LAKE FOREST – Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano shouldered the blame Thursday for his defense’s inability to escape the field early in last week’s loss at Philadelphia. “Playing the amount of snaps that we played in the first half, it’s our own fault,” Pagano said. “You’ve got to make plays. I’ve got to be better. We’ve got to get off the field. The positives are that we played 50 plays in the first half and we only gave up 12 points.” That included the Eagles’ first two drives of the game, each of which lasted more than six and a half minutes. It didn’t help that the Bears offense provided a historically low nine yards of offense in the first half. Bears safety Eddie Jackson said he’s surprised to see the Bears sitting at 3-5 at the midway point of the season. “You see everything we helped build and put together, the type of players we have in here, it’s kind of crazy to see how our record doesn’t define the type of team we are,” Jackson said. “For us, we’ve just got to continue to come together and go out there every week and get better.” It doesn’t get any easier this week against a Detroit Lions team averaging the third-most passing yards per game in the NFL. Pagano had lofty praise for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is on pace for one of the best seasons of his career. “He’s in the MVP conversation as far as I’m concerned,” Pagano said. “He’s playing as good as I’ve seen him. I’ve faced him before and he’s playing at a high, high level. He’s a really, really talented guy and he’s playing with a ton of confidence. He can throw that football and he’s got playmakers,

The Chicago Bears will have to contend with one of the league’s hottest quarterbacks this Sunday when Matt Stafford (No. 9) and the Detroit Lions invade Soldier Field for an NFC North contest. obviously.” Despite Pagano’s assertion, Stafford and the letters M-V-P are likely a nonstarter unless the 11th-year veteran can pull Detroit back into playoff contention. At 3-4-1, the Lions – like the Bears – need a win this week to turn things around. “For this, a division game, especially at home, and everything we went through so far this season, it’s just time for everybody to step up,” Jackson said. Stafford’s current 106.0 QB

rating would be the best of his career. He could conceivably throw 40 touchdown passes (he has 19 at the halfway point), something he has done only once in his career. Lions receivers Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones each have 35 of more receptions for more than 500 yards this season. First-year offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has the Lions offense rolling. Bevell previously served in the same role with the Seahawks from 2011-2017, in-

cluding Seattle’s Super Bowl title. “I put him for sure as one of the top quote-unquote gunslingers in this league,” Bears head coach Matt Nagy said of Stafford. “I think he can throw from every arm angle possible and he’s always aggressive. It doesn’t matter. If he thinks there’s a tight window, he’s going to try to fit it.” Teddy Bridgewater and the Saints found some holes in the Bears secondary in Week 7. That was another contest where

a lengthy amount of time on the field led to breakdowns for the Bears. Bridgewater threw for 281 yards that day. It’s a blueprint that Stafford has the skill set to exploit. “Pretty much everyone around the league knows what he’s capable of … the numbers he’s putting up this year,” Bears linebacker Roquan Smith said. “It’ll be great for our defense and I think it will be a great challenge for us to come out and play a guy of his caliber.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Memphis center Wisman gets court order, can play MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The feel-good season for No. 14 Memphis plunged into uncertainty Friday after the school said second-year coach and former NBA star Penny Hardaway gave more than $11,000 to the family of top prospect James Wiseman, who got a court order allowing him to play while the university tries to restore his NCAA eligibility. Memphis issued an extraordinary statement less than an hour before the Tigers played Illinois-Chicago at home, saying Wiseman was going to be kept out of games based on interpretation of a rule by the NCAA until the temporary restraining order obtained by Wiseman’s attorney Leslie Ballin late Friday afternoon. “The University is currently working with the NCAA staff to

restore his playing status, and we are hopeful for a speedy resolution to the matter,” the statement said. The 7-foot-1 Wiseman was on the court Friday night for the national anthem and introduced with the starting lineup. Wiseman had four points, five blocks and six rebounds as Memphis led 47-16 at halftime. The NCAA declined to comment after Ballin announced that Wiseman had been ruled ineligible at a late afternoon news conference in Memphis. But the NCAA tweeted out a statement Friday night with Wiseman playing. “The University of Memphis was notified that James Wiseman is likely ineligible,” the NCAA wrote on Twitter. “The university chose to play him and ultimately

is responsible for ensuring its student-athletes are eligible to play.” President M. David Rudd said in the university statement that Memphis will accept responsibility for proven violations of NCAA bylaws but also “firmly supports James, Coach Hardaway and our men’s basketball program” in this case. Rudd said Memphis supports Wiseman’s right to challenge the NCAA ruling. “Particularly given the unique circumstances in this case, we are hopeful for a fair and equitable resolution on James’ eligibility,” Rudd said. Memphis said Wiseman — the potential No. 1 pick in the NBA draft next June — was declared eligible by the NCAA in May but further details and investigation by the university and the NCAA found Hardaway gave $11,500 in

moving expenses to help Wiseman’s family move from Nashville to Memphis in the summer of 2017. The university said Wiseman didn’t know about the money given to his family. At the time, Hardaway was the coach of East High School. Wiseman was a standout junior, helping Hardaway win his third straight Tennessee Class AAA title before being hired by Memphis as head coach at his alma mater in March 2018. Wiseman committed to Memphis and Hardaway again in November 2018, the top player in what wound up the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class for Hardaway. The freshman did not play in either of Memphis’ exhibition games with a right ankle injury. But he scored 28 points and had

11 rebounds Tuesday night in a 97-64 win over South Carolina State. New athletic director Laird Veatch says Memphis will cooperate and be respectful and professional dealing with the NCAA while “availing ourselves of every resource” in the best interests of their student-athletes, coach and university. “It is clear to me in my short time here that Memphians will stand up and fight, both for each other and for what is right, and I am proud to stand with them,” Veatch said. Memphis had its 2007-08 season vacated by the NCAA, which included a national runner-up finish and a school-record 38 wins, when Derrick Rose was declared academically ineligible.

Sports COLLEGE FOOTBALL: NOTRE DAME AT MICHIGAN STATE

Illini can become bowl eligible with win at MSU By Noah Trister

AP SPORTS WRITER

EAST LANSING, Mich. — One stat jumps out at Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio when he talks about Illinois. “Turnovers,” Dantonio said. “I think turnovers give you a chance to even up the playing field. You know, when you’re plus-three turnovers against Wisconsin, all of a sudden, the game gets a little tight and then they start to believe in themselves. I think they’ve done a nice job since then of capitalizing on that.”

The Illini are plus-12 in the turnover department on the season, and they’re a leaguebest plus-11 in their six Big Ten games. That’s a big reason they’ve managed a .500 record in conference play heading into Saturday’s game at Michigan State. A win this weekend would make Illinois bowl eligible for the first time since 2014. “Guys that have been here for four years and have contributed so much to the growth of our program, that’s how you reward good play,” coach Lovie Smith said. “A job well done, we feel

like let’s get to a bowl game. And to have that opportunity, that’s what we’re talking about now.” Although Michigan State (4-4, 2-3) and Illinois (5-4, 3-3) have similar records, it feels like they’re moving in different directions. A bowl appearance would be a big step for the Illini. For the Spartans, that’s the bare minimum of what is generally expected under Dantonio. Illinois has won three games in a row, including a huge upset of Wisconsin. Michigan State has dropped three straight and was outscored 100-17 by Ohio State, Wisconsin

and Penn State. The Spartans also lost linebacker Joe Bachie, who was declared ineligible after testing positive for a banned supplement. Michigan State said it would appeal, but he’s out for now. Still, the Spartans are favored by about two touchdowns in this game, which is perhaps a nod to the fact that as bad as Michigan State has looked lately, it was up against particularly tough competition. This week should be a better test of how many problems the Spartans really have.

BEEN A WHILE The Illini are on a three-game winning streak for the first time since winning their first six games of the 2011 season. They have not won four straight Big Ten games since a seven-game streak gave Illinois a conference title in 2001. SCORING ON DEFENSE Perhaps this is no surprise, given Illinois’ turnover margin, but the Illini also have five defensive TDs this season. Illinois has forced 17 fumbles and recovered a remarkable 15 of them.

Knights FROM PAGE B1

No. 2 (in the final AP state poll) in 2A, so we’re going to get a taste of the best (2A) has to offer on Saturday. “We’ll go out there and give it our best shot.” St. Ed’s spread attack is averaging 33.1 points and 357.8 yards per game (191 passing, 166.8 rushing), directed by senior quarterback Anthony Holte (101-of159 passing, 1,854 yards, 22 TDs, 11 INTs, 3 rushing TDs). Versatile junior Joe Sacco, who rushed for 242 yards on 32 carries vs. Orr, has accounted for 1,232 yards from scrimmage (833 rushing on 120 carries with 12 TDs, 399 receiving on 23 catches with 6 TDs) and 18 touchdowns. Holte’s targets also include coach Rolando’s son, 6-foot-3inch junior Zeke Rolando (42 receptions, 786 yards, 10 TDs), classmate Liam Pomeroy (19 receptions, 421 yards, 3 TDs) and 10th-grader Clem McCullough (16 catches, 248 yards, 3 TDs). The Knights are yielding just 6.6 points and 148.6 yards per game (58.5 through the air, 90.1 on the ground). Spearheading that stingy “D” are nose guard Mason Faulk (55 total tackles) and linebacker Travis Sunken (52 tackles). Jaxon Cusac-McKay has six interceptions, a pair of those coming against West Carroll. “Offensively, they bring a lot to the table,” Schneeman said. “They have a pretty good quarterback. They have some receivers who are really good athletes. And they have running backs who are pretty shifty and run hard. “We’ve got to make sure that our front seven is able to contain the run and make sure we keep the quarterback in the pocket, and then our secondary has got to make sure that they cover. We’ve just got to limit the big play.” Mike Rolando said the Green Wave may be able to find success through the air. “The passing game, I think we

Leading the primarily 5-2 defensive alignment are seniors Luke Breier (102 tackles) at inside linebacker and nose guard Alex Walser (seven sacks). McCullough

has six interceptions. Fieldcrest is averaging 33.6 points and 356.3 ypg (205.6 rushing, 150.1 passing), paced by the trio of running back Kenton Castrejon (202-1,353-21) — who rushed for 193 yards and pair of TDs on 29 carries vs. West Carroll — quarterback Matt Lorton (95-of169, 1,226 yards, 12 TDs, 5 INTs) and receiver Cusac-McKay (45 receptions, 586 yards, 9 TDs).

sure we take care of the ball.” Rolando hopes St. Edward can slow down Fieldcrest’s ground game. “They can run, they can throw,” Rolando said. “First and foremost, we’ve got to stop the running game — against a line that’s going to have us outweighed by a significant amount — and just make sure that we still have enough left to stop the pass when they go to it.”

a posting of 213 yards in their 20-0 first-round win over Peotone on running TDs from Wozniak, Grant Resetich and Walk. That success might have been in part because of changes made after the struggle against the Tigers. “Their linebackers are really good and they come downhill hard and fast,” said Tieman. “They read really well and know where to go, so we know we have to get our linemen on those linebackers, get off the double team and pick them up. Our kids just have to go out and play physical with them … We’ve made some adjustments in how to block them and hopefully that works out for us on Saturday.” Giving up a season-high in points to the Tigers — PHS’ newly-crowned all-time leading rusher, senior Ronde Worrels (84 yards, 1 TD) and quarterback Tyler Gibson (128 total yards, 2 passing TDs, 2 rushing) in the running-clock decision — came in the midst of three shutouts by the Devils. However, after 53 total points in Weeks 8 and 9, Hall appears back on track with the Peotone blanking showing the power of postseason football. “It’s tough to beat a team twice. Now it’s the playoffs, we’re on the road at their place. I really don’t think the result will be the same,” said Pearson. “It will be important for us to get out of the gate quickly and get the momentum our way. Whoever can get that momentum going their way will certainly have the upper hand … I believe we’re going to have to play a mistake-free ball game to have a chance and that’s what we’re preparing for.” Tieman said the Red Devils

Faulk also anchors the O-line at left guard. “They like to keep a lot of kids in the box, and they’re active; they’ll bring pressure up front. They’re pretty physical and relentless defensively,” Schneeman said. “And the secondary is very athletic. “We’ve just got to establish the line of scrimmage and get the running game going early — and make

DURHAM, N.C. — No. 15 Notre Dame found a way to finally win a close game. Duke hasn’t had much success doing that. The Fighting Irish (6-2, No. 15 CFP) visit the Blue Devils (4-4) on Saturday night in a game neither team can really afford to lose. With two losses, Notre Dame is out of the College Football Playoff discussion but a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl is very much a possibility. But for that to happen, the Irish keep winning and climbing up the selection committee’s rankings. After bouncing back from a sloppy loss at Michigan with a last-minute victory over Virginia Tech, the Irish have a manageable schedule the rest of the way and shape up as favorites in each of their final four games. “I don’t know why, but it seems like if you win it’s a little quieter,” coach Brian Kelly said. “We are going to continue to try to do that. Our preparation will be such that we’ve got our players understanding what it takes to prepare and play the right way. We’ll build off that and go have some fun.” It’s been tougher lately for the Blue Devils, who have lost two straight and need to win two of their final four games — next up are Syracuse, No. 22 Wake Forest and resurgent Miami — to qualify for their third straight bowl game. Only two of Duke’s games have been decided by fewer than 18 points and the Blue Devils lost

them both in the closing minutes, losing 33-30 to Pittsburgh and most recently falling 20-17 at rival North Carolina when a tailback jump pass was intercepted at the goal line. Duke used its off week to put the sting of that loss in the past. Some things to know about the Notre Dame-Duke game: TURNOVERS ARE KEY Duke has 19 turnovers and 17 have come in its four losses, including five in a 48-14 loss at Virginia and three against the Tar Heels. Notre Dame is tied for 10th nationally with a turnover margin of plus-7, and has turned it over multiple times in only three games — losses to Michigan and Georgia, and that closer-than-expected win over Virginia Tech. GOOD BOOK Kelly says QB Ian Book has maintained a high level of confidence despite an up-and-down season. Book shrugged off two interceptions last week and led an 18-play, 87-yard drive that he capped with a 7-yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left to beat the Hokies. “If you lose your confidence here as a quarterback you can’t play quarterback at Notre Dame,” Kelly said. “There is just so much noise. ... Although it’s difficult for everybody when you don’t play particularly well, when you don’t play particularly well, we felt like he had what it took to stand up to that. You know, he did, and he’s come out on the other end and should be better for it.”

Princeton council gets update on Perry Memorial Hospital ﬁnancial issues

By Goldie Rapp SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — Princeton City Council this week got a more in-depth look at Perry Memorial Hospital’s fiscal year 2019 audit, which uncovered a $3.4 million loss for the city-owned hospital. The loss led to last week’s elimination of 10 positions, seven of which had been unfilled, and other planned cost savings that will continue to be implemented over the next several months. During a presentation to the council, Perry President and CEO Annette Schnabel said the hospital got a late start on making changes because of “inappropriate reporting” that went undiscovered until the audit process began this year. The hope is that the cuts will bring expenses in line with revenues. Perry’s net revenue for fiscal year 2019 ended with $42 million, and net expenses were at $45 million. While the trend in expenses didn’t change much from the previous year, it’s the income side of the budget that led to a loss. One of the challenges the hospital faces is a shift in more procedures being labeled as outpatient care. In fiscal year 2018, the hospital reported 84 percent of care as outpatient. In fiscal year 2019, it increased to 86 percent. For example, Medicaid and Medicare services now declare total knees and hip replacements as outpatient services when they were once considered inpatient services. “It’s a major change in how we deliver care,” Schnabel said. Whether a patient is labeled outpatient or inpatient, they receive the same level of care through nursing staff and resources, while the hospital receives less income for outpatient care. Schnabel said this is a trend that will continue in the future. In fiscal year 2018, Perry had 2,231 inpatient stays and 212 observation stays

PERRY’S PATIENT CARE STATISTICS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019 • 734 inpatient admissions, resulted in 1,988 days of service. • 7,225 visits to emergency room. • 35,000 visits to clinics. • 677 surgeries performed; 175 inpatient and 502 outpatient. • More than 1,000 special procedures performed. • More than 100,000 lab tests. • More than 18,000 imaging procedures. (can be known as outpatient stays). In fiscal year 2019, Perry had 1,988 inpatient stays and 516 observation stays. There also has been a shift to more government payers vs. commercial insurances, which reimburses hospitals significantly less for care on a per-patient basis. “We do not anticipate the government payers paying us any more,” Schnabel said. “We anticipate continued difficulty with getting the revenue to come into the organization moving forward.” Some good news about Perry’s finances is that the hospital was able to retire a good chunk of debt this past year. In fiscal year 2018, long-term debt was more than $1 million, and at the end of fiscal year 2019, it had decreased to $600,000. In May, the hospital paid off its 2006 emergency room expansion project. There’s a lot of talk about the hospital’s current construction of its family health care clinic, which will not be impacted by any future changes. Schnabel said the clinic will expand the hospital’s service size by 40% and provide a location for tele-health services. The new clinic will also relieve space issues inside the hospital and allow more efficiency in staffing. “We’re pleased to have the opportunity to build the family health clinic,” Schnabel said. The clinic is on track to open on Feb. 1, 2020. Perry is currently is discussions with OSF HealthCare regarding partnership options.

Gas line break The 100 block of John Mitchell Avenue, across from Hall High School’s field, was closed to through-traffic Friday after workers accidentally pulled on a gas line during excavation. Greg Lauf, assistant Spring Valley fire chief, said the gas was shut off and there was no danger to the public. The street reopened after Ameren completed repairs.

The cast of “Shameless”

No Apologies: Final season of ‘Shameless’ premieres on Showtime By Breanna Henry TV Media

cast, an indie rock soundtrack and a wry, colorful script, it isn’t hard to see why. English screenwriter Paul Abbot created the original British version of “Shameless,” and his semi-autobiographical script became a massive hit in the U.K. before American producer John Wells developed the pilot of Showtime’s American take. If you are a new viewer, know that “Shameless” is gritty, vulgar and violent. “Shameless” has it all, and is unapologetic — shameless even — about every scene. The Gallaghers are far from being the easily digestible, blue-collar version of Ameri-

he 10th and final season of Showtime’s longest-running original series premieres Sunday, Nov. 10. In simplest terms, “Shameless” is a chronicling of the Gallagher family. They’re poor yet shockingly well adjusted, considering the circumstances — this South Chicago family has seen more than its fair share of grief and strife.

ca’s poor that series such as “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Roseanne” or even “Married with Children” showcased — this is not living paycheck to paycheck, it’s living penny to penny. Despite heavy themes of alcoholism, abuse, poverty and mental illness, “Shameless” manages more laughs than many comedies, and the Gallaghers seem more real than the cast of any reality show. William H. Macy (“Fargo,” 1996) plays Frank, the Gallagher family patriarch and the root of 99.99% of the family’s problems. On top of being an impenitent alcoholic and drug addict, he is also quite

absent, often leaving his six children to fend for themselves. Up to this point, the family had Frank’s eldest, Fiona (Emmy Rossum, “Before I Disappear,” 2014), who ran the house and took care of everyone, despite her own struggles and youth. Rossum is not returning for the final season, though, and as difficult as it is for fans to see her go, it will certainly be much harder for the Gallagher family. Lip Gallagher is played by Jeremy Allen White (“After Everything,” 2018), and he epitomizes the “brilliant, but lazy” character trope while remaining one of the most endearingly tragic, lov-

Frank’s youngest son, toddler Liam, is played by Christian Isaiah (“Married”), and revealing much about him would be far too much of a spoiler. The Gallagher’s neighbors, Veronica (Shanola Hampton, “#Truth,” 2019) and Kevin (Steve Howey, “Stuber,” 2019), and Ian’s on-again off-again partner, Mickey (Noel Fisher, “The Red Line”), round out the highly dysfunctional cast that you can’t help but fall in love with.

Ian is the third oldest, wonderfully portrayed by Cameron Monaghan (“Gotham”), whose struggles in earlier episodes revolved around his sexuality, and later his mental health. The only other daughter in the family is Debbie (Emma Kenney, “The Conners”). She is the only one of Frank’s kids who openly cares for him, and watching her go from being an adorable young girl to a teen mom and prostitute over the course of the series is both heartbreakingly tragic and excruciatingly real.

ON DEMAND Inter-dimensional history: Final season of ‘The Man in the High Castle’ premieres on Prime By Jessica Gosse TV Media

WHAT’S NEW ON AMAZON PRIME: “The Man in the High Castle” Season 4 What would the world have become had the Allies been defeated in World War II? This series explores that hypothetical world, and Season 4 premieres Friday, Nov. 15. Based on the novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick, this intense drama takes viewers to 1960s America, where the East has been taken over by Nazi Germany and the West is occupied by ImperialJapan. Alexa Davalos (“Clash of the Titans,” 2010) stars as Juliana Crain, who is brought into the covert world of the American Resistance after her sister is killed by the Japanese and she is entrusted with a film that exposes an alternate reality where America and its allies won the war. Later in the series, we learn that there is more than one alternate reality, and that some will stop at nothing to control them all. Rufus Sewell (“Victoria”) and Joel de la Fuente (“Hemlock Grove”) also star as the Resistance’s strongest opposition, the complex Oberguppenführer John Smith (Sewell) of the

SS and the conflicted Chief Inspector Kido (de la Fuente) of the Kempetai, respectively. Season 4 is the last installment of this acclaimed series, and showrunners have described the final season as “very epic — very conclusive and very ambiguous.”

WHAT’S NEW ON NETFLIX: “Klaus” Christmascomes early on Netflix with the release of this holiday film when it premieres Friday, Nov. 15. “Klaus” is the story of a postman named Jesper (Jason Schwartzman, “Wine Country,” 2019) who, being the postal academy’s worst student, is stationed in the townof Smeerensburg in the Arctic Ciricle. Smeerensburg is far from friendly, and its locals are perfectly content to live in the “unhappiestplace on Earth.” When Jesper discovers the reclusive toymakerKlaus (J. K. Simmons, “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” 2019) and sets a series of good deeds in motion by offering to deliver Klaus’s toysif he donates them to children, the whole townbegins to change. Sure to become a holiday classic, this film is filled with heart and humor.

WHAT’S NEW ON HULU: “Dollface” On Friday, Nov. 15, Hulu presents this new comedy. The series stars Kat Dennings (“2 Broke Girls”) as Jules, who is trying to rebuild her neglected female friendships after being dumped by her longtime boyfriend. Joining the cast as Jules’ closest (and most neglected) friends are Brenda Song (“Dads”) as Madison, Shay Mitchell (“Pretty Little Liars”) as Stella and Esther Povitsky (“Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”) as Izzy. This new comedy series will appeal to anyone who has ever lost themselves in a relationship, or known someone who has.

WHAT’S NEW ON DISNEY+ “The Mandalorian” Star Wars fans can finally get their hands on this new series when it premieres Tuesday, Nov. 12. Set in the aftermath of the Empire’s collapse and long before the emergence of the First Order, this is the story of a lone wolf, a bounty hunter on the edge of the galaxy. Pedro Pascal (“Game of Thrones”) stars as the titular Mandalorian (Mandalorians are beings from the planet Mandalore,

Alexa Davalos in “The Man in the High Castle” the most famous of which is the character Boba Fett), and he’s described his role as “Clint Eastwood-esque.” This won’t be a clear-cut case of good guy versus bad guy, as the Mandalorian resides squarely in gray areas; his combat skills are advanced, but his moral character needs some work. Pascal is

joined by Gina Carano (“Deadpool,” 2016), Nick Nolte (“Warrior,” 2011), Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”) Carl Weathers (“Chicago Justice”), Ming-Na Wen (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) and more. Even eccentric German director Werner Herzog (“Grizzly Man,” 2005) makes

an appearance, and “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017) director Taika Waititi voices the hilarious droid IG-11. It has all the makings of TV greatness, and though Star Wars fans are champing at the bit for this one, you’ll be able to enjoy the series even if you’ve never seen a Star Wars film.

HOLLYWOOD Q&A

LATE LAUGHS

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: I just saw an ad for the “final season” of “Modern Family,” but I thought that ended a while ago? Did I miss something? A: Apparently you missed a lot of episodes of “Modern Family.” You can be forgiven for assuming it had ended a while ago — few series, sitcoms especially, get 11 seasons. But that is all it will get — “Modern Family’s” final season is airing now. It premiered in 2009 and was immediately named the season’s “breakout” hit — critics and audiences both loved it. If that weren’t enough, critics also credited it with reviving the sitcom as a format. “Modern Family” is the last one standing from a larger group of shows that brought new life, and new ratings, to the format, such as “How I Met Your Mother” (which premiered a few years earlier and ended in 2014) and “The Big Bang Theory” (which premiered in 2007 and ended earlier this year). A lot of buzz went to “Modern Family’s” other partners in its Wednesday night comedy block, “Cougar Town” and “The Middle,” both of which are already gone (in 2015 and 2018, respectively). While “Modern Family’s” ratings were indeed excellent at the start, they’ve been declining pretty steadily since, shedding roughly a million viewers per year over the past few seasons. But the interesting thing about this show’s longevity is that you can trace industry and social history in those ratings. Some of its viewership loss can be attributed to the shift from traditional broadcast TV to digital streaming and on-demand viewing. The whole TV business was different 10 years ago when we met the three related households that comprise “Modern Family.” Q: I got over the “Good Witch” season being over by getting into “Chesapeake

The cast of “Modern Family” Shores,” but then its season ended after just a few episodes, too. Why do they keep doing this? A: There are a couple of answers to that question, one of which is actually good news. The boring answer is that cable shows (“Good Witch” and “Chesapeake Shores” are both Hallmark Channel originals) always get shorter episode orders than broadcast shows. The 22-episode model, designed to cover the traditional fall/winter viewing season that broadcast schedules (and broadcast ad sales) were built around, just doesn’t exist for cable. The reality on cable is 10- or 12-episode seasons. That said, “Chesapeake Shores” didn’t even get that — its fourth season, which ended in late September, was only six episodes long. However, one of the reasons for that is that there’s still a movie to come. Hallmark announced back in February that it would produce a spinoff movie based on the O’Brien sisters. There’s been no word on an airdate yet, but Meghan Ory (“Once Upon a Time”), who plays Abby O’Brien, said on social media in September that it was coming “in the near future.” Q: I found some super old episodes of “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends,” and I recognize the voice of the narrator. Who is the man behind the scenes?

A: That voice you recognize was a guy by the name of Stan Lee. Apart from being the narrator on this early-’80s animated series, he’s had roles in a number of different Marvel properties throughout the years, such as a helpful truck driver in the first “Thor” movie (2011) and a bartender in “Ant-Man” (2015). Oh, and he also basically built Marvel Comics. Lee was the creative head of Marvel when it was at its most innovative and influential. Along with co-writers/artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he created the major characters we all know, including SpiderMan. So who else was better suited to do voice-over for the activities of the famed webslinger in “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends?” The job required a fair bit of Marvel knowledge, since it incorporated a number of characters from across the company’s universe. It’s one of the many SpiderMan cartoons produced over the years, but unlike most of those, which just borrowed characters and stories born in the comics pages, it actually created a new character who was then used in comics as well: Firestar.

Said the man, “With your help I can beat this thing.” The blog VogueWorld posted an article yesterday entitled “Brad Pitt proves that fedoras can actually be hot.” Though I think a more accurate title would be, “Brad Pitt’s hotness overcomes fedora.”

FEATURE STORY

Hello Dolly: Country music legend Dolly Parton set to take CMA Awards stage By Kyla Brewer TV Media

rends come and go, but country music never goes out of style for its fans. Luckily for country buffs, it’s time to celebrate the genre’s biggest stars at one of the year’s most highly anticipated award ceremonies. Carrie Underwood welcomes superstars to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena as she returns to host the 53rd Annual Country Music Association Awards, airing Wednesday, Nov. 13, on ABC. The CMA Awards have honored the outstanding work of country music recording artists, producers and other industry professionals since they were established in 1967, and the tradition continues with awards like Album of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. However, the CMA Awards will look a bit different this time around. Underwood has co-hosted the ceremony alongside Brad Paisley since 2008, but he won’t be taking the stage with Underwood this year. In August, it was announced that country music legends Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton would co-host with Underwood this year. While many of Paisley’s fans were no doubt disappointed, he was a true gentleman about the new arrangement, even tweeting his support after the news broke. “As a fan of all 3 of these amazing women, I can’t wait to watch,” Paisley wrote on Twitter on Aug. 19. He isn’t the only one who’s excited. CMA executive Sarah Trahern expressed her appreciation for the trio in the official release about their hosting gig. “It’s an incredible honor to welcome Carrie, Reba and Dolly to the CMA Awards stage this year,” Trahern said. “In addition to awarding the year’s best and brightest in the genre, the 53rd Annual CMA Awards will celebrate the legacy of women within country music and we couldn’t think of a more dynamic group of women to host the show.”

McEntire and Parton are no strangers to the CMA Awards. Country music’s most honored female performer of all time, Parton has won 11 CMAs, including the 2016 Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. To her credit, McEntire has snagged six CMA Awards, among many other awards over the course of her career. Both women have hosted the CMA Awards before. Parton took the helm in 1988, and McEntire was the show’s emcee from 1990 to 1992. Underwood has been outspoken about her desire to see more women in country music, and teaming up with two of the genre’s biggest female icons seems like the perfect opportunity to shine a light on the industry’s talented women. It seems fitting that this year’s top nominee is also a woman. Maren Morris has earned six CMA Award nominations, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year for “Girl” and Album of the Year for “Girl.” She’s also up for Song of the Year (“Girl”), Music Video of the Year (“Girl”) and Musical Event of the Year (“All My Favorite People”). This isn’t her first CMA rodeo — the young singer/songwriter had 10 previous CMA nominations and one win for New Artist of the Year in 2016. Country music duo Brothers Osborne have garnered four nominations this time around. T.J. Osborne and John Osborne are the reigning CMA Vocal Duo of the Year and they hope to hang on to the honor this year with another nomination in the category, which they’ve won three years running. They’re also up for Music Video of the Year and Single of the Year for their collaboration with Dierks Bentley on “Burning Man.” Interestingly, they share Morris’ nomination for Musical Event of the Year because they’re featured performers in “All My Favorite People.” Eleven acts clocked in with three CMA Award nominations each, including host Underwood with Entertainer of the Year (the only woman

Carrie Underwood hosts the 53rd Annual CMA Awards in the running for that one), Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year (“Cry Pretty”). The only other woman on the list of triple nominees is critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves, who will go head to head against Underwood in the Female Vocalist of the Year category. She’s also been nominated for Song of the Year (“Rainbow”)

and Music Video of the Year (“Rainbow”). Dan + Shay were the only group to earn three CMA Award nods this year: Single of the Year (“Speechless”), Album of the Year (“Dan + Shay”) and Vocal Duo of the Year. Fan favorite Blake Shelton will be vying for Single of the Year (“God’s Country”), Musical Event of the Year (“Dive Bar”) and Music Video of the

Year (“God’s Country”). Scott Hendricks has double the chances of winning Single of the Year with nominations for both “God’s Country” and “Speechless,” along with a nomination for Album of the Year for “Dan + Shay.” In addition to his nomination for Album of the Year (“Center Point Road”), Dann Huff has two nominations for Musical Event of the Year (“Brand

New Man,” “What Happens in a Small Town”). With the biggest stars in the country music biz, including three fabulous female hosts, this year’s ceremony should be a lot of fun to watch. Tune in as Underwood, McEntire and Parton celebrate country music in the 53rd annual Country Music Association Awards, airing Wednesday, Nov. 13, on ABC.

SPORTS FEATURE Dak and Kirk: Vikings and Cowboys set for NFC showdown By Ryan Guebert TV Media

ith Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season coming to a close, the playoff picture is starting to take shape. The Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys are set for a Sunday night NFC showdown on Nov. 10. Tune in to NBC for live coverage from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Vikings missed the post-season last year, coming up short of a wildcard spot by only one game. Naturally, the blame was thrown mostly at quarterback Kirk Cousins, who at the time had signed the most lucrative contract in NFL history ahead of the 2018 season after six seasons with the Washington Redskins. It appeared as if Cousins had started the current season in the same vein when he threw for only 98 yards and a touchdown in Week 1’s win over the Atlanta Falcons, and went 2-2 (both losses to divisional opponents) in the first four games. He has since found chemistry with wide receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, who now form one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL. The Vikings still have their work

cut out for them in a highly competitive NFC North. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott entered the 2019 season as an impending free agent in hopes of becoming the new highestpaid player in the NFL. In the midst of contract negotiations, Prescott started the season with a win over the New York Giants, throwing for 405 yards and four touchdowns and earning a perfect-passer rating (the first Cowboy to achieve that since Craig Morton in 1969). The Cowboys started the season 3-0 but endured a three-game losing streak from weeks 4 to 6. After Week 7’s win over the divisional rival Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys were the only NFC East team with a winning percentage over .500 (.571). The Cowboys look to take advantage of a struggling division and claim the NFC East for the second season in a row. As the weeks go by, the chances of seeing the Cowboys and Vikings meet in the postseason are becoming more and more probable. For now, tune in for what will be a big game for both the Vikings and Cowboys when they kick off on Sunday, Nov. 10, with live coverage on NBC.
