KKK info arrives in Bureau County

Porush said Peru offers attractive amenities for a community that is considered non-metro. He said 3 Diamond would apply for federal housing credits to fund the project. Those credits would be sold to

a major bank, which would provide funds for land purchases and construction. Porush said the current plan would be to build a 60-unit complex at a cost of about $8-12 million. The housing would specifi-

cally be for seniors for at least 30 years. The issue right now is the property is not in city limits. Porush said they are eyeing parcels northeast of the Wenzel Road See HOUSING Page A2

Hitting the street for trick or treat?

Dalzell police investigating who’s distributing, intent By Ali Braboy

NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

LADD — Information encouraging people to join a hate group showed up in Bureau County this past weekend. Around 1 p.m. Sunday, Joanne Buczkowski of Ladd came home to find in her yard six plastic bags filled with leaflets encouraging people to join the Ku Klux Klan. “I was shocked,” she said. “When does that ever happen in Ladd? In my lifetime, I’ve never had anyone throw a KKK info bag in my yard.” She reported the incident to the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office. The notes inside the bags include information that say, “Local White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan wants you to join” with a hotline phone number to call, a website to visit and a radio station to listen to. Other sheets say, “Love your own race” and “Stop homosexuality and race mixing.” There are rocks inside the bags. Buczkowski doesn’t know who left the information but she noticed there were other bags in other Ladd yards. Sheriff Jim Reed said he had not seen the bags yet, but his office had received a call from a Ladd home, and when the information got to him, he would review it. The information showed up in Dalzell, too. Dalzell police chief Mark Manicki said his office had received four reports of the bags in town. A Facebook post was created to ask Dalzell community if others had received one as well, and Manicki thinks there were more out there than just the four reported based on the Facebook See KKK Page A2

Brynlee Wiesbrock, 2, of Tonica receives candy from Maddy Mudge in downtown La Salle on Saturday during the city’s Hometown Halloween celebration. Celebrations, such as La Salle’s or trunk-or-treat events, are growing in popularity throughout the area. But have the increasing opportunities for candy led to a decrease in traditional trick-or-treat traffic?

Parents, kids embrace alternative trick-or-treat events By Brett Herrmann and Brent Bader SHAW MEDIA

With only about 15 blocks to hit up, a seasoned trick-ortreater can likely cover the entire village of Bureau Junction in under an hour. But an hour is all they will have this year. The village is looking at new ways to keep kids in town this Halloween, and this year that means reducing some of the traditional activities in favor of a trunk-or-treat event. “Last year the village saw very few trick-or-treaters and they wanted to do something to entice them to stay here in-

stead of going to other towns,” village clerk Karen Podobinski said. “The idea was discussed at a town picnic and although everyone was excited not everyone was in agreement with doing away with the traditional form.” So regular trick-or-treat will stick around from 5-6 p.m. But right afterwards, the community will have a trunk-or-treat event at the village fire station where there will be food, games and costume judging. “The board decided why not do both? In a small town you can do that,” Podobinski said. It’s a thought process that is not unique to the village of Bureau Junction. As Halloween inches closer, kids are preparing

to don their Halloween costumes and arm themselves with candy baskets to collect sweet treats from neighbors in their communities. But are they heading out in reduced numbers in favor of alternative events like trunk-ortreat? Ottawa Police Chief Brent Roalson said he’s seen a reduction in trick-or-treaters on Halloween over his time with the police department. “What we’ve seen, it’s a trend getting away from trick-or-treating in neighborhoods and we’re seeing more of these events with trunk-or-treat,” Roalson said. The success of trunk-or-treat events is coming as a surprise to

Army officer says he raised concerns about Trump and Ukraine By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Colleen Long ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

WASHINGTON (AP) — A military officer at the National Security Council twice raised concerns over the Trump administration’s push to have Ukraine investigate Democrats and Joe Biden, according to testimony the official is to deliver Tuesday

in the House impeachment inquiry. Alexander Vindman, an Army lieutenant colonel who served in Iraq and, later, as a diplomat, is prepared to tell House investigators that he listened to President Donald Trump’s July 25 call with new Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and reported his concerns to the NSC’s lead counsel.

“I was concerned by the call,” Vindman will say, according to prepared testimony obtained Monday night by The Associated Press. “I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine.” Vindman is the first official who listened in on that call to

testify as the impeachment inquiry reaches deeper into the Trump administration and Democrats prepare for the next, public phase of the probe. He’s also the first current White House official to appear before the impeachment panels. The inquiry is looking into Trump’s call, in which he asked Zelenskiy for a “favor” — to See TRUMP Page A2

she plans to go out with her kids during the holiday, but she has heard some parents prefer the conďŹ ned event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did hear from a couple of folks, especially for the little kids, that trick-or-treating can be kind of late for them and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get around and you never know what the weather will do,â&#x20AC;? Beattie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So this is a quick and easy shot to the trunks and to wear your costumes.â&#x20AC;? Beattie said she also expects it varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. The more kids there are in a neighborhood then the more trick-or-treaters and residents participate. Results may vary, both in number of trick-or-treaters and participating houses That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decrease across the board however, as Roalson noted some neighborhoods still see a high participa-

Vindman says he told Sondland that â&#x20AC;&#x153;his statements were inappropriate, that the request to investigate Biden and his son had nothing to do with national security, and that such investigations were not something the NSC was going to get involved in or push.â&#x20AC;? That account differs from Sondlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a wealthy business-

man who donated $1 million to Trump inauguration and testiďŹ ed before the impeachment investigators that no one from the NSC â&#x20AC;&#x153;ever expressed any concerns.â&#x20AC;? He also testiďŹ ed that he did not realize any connection between Biden and Burisma. For the call between Trump and Zelenskiy, Vindman said he listened in the Situation Room with colleagues from the NSC and Vice President Mike Penceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oďŹ&#x192;ce and was concerned. He said he again reported his concerns to the NSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead counsel. Vindman, who arrived in the United States as a 3-year-old from the former Soviet Union, served in various military.

tion rate with many carloads of kids being dropped oďŹ&#x20AC; in some subdivisions. But even that has dwindled down in recent years. Roalson said he tends to prefer alternative events such as Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new downtown parade and trunk-or-treat event at Washington Square due to the safety aspects of not having kids walking through the streets of town. Additionally, he suggested homeowners may be concerned about giving out candy to a child who may have their own safety concerns or allergic reaction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things where everyone wants the little guys to have a good event and be safe and (trunk-or-treat events) allows it to happen,â&#x20AC;? he added.

ing increased interest from the public. This year, businesses in the community sponsored the trunks and handed out candy and a $10 entry fee was charged per car. They also oďŹ&#x20AC;ered escape rooms, games, bouncy houses, a hayride and haunted house. She said they hoped to break even but if successful could be a fundraising event for the center and Beattie said early estimates show they may have pulled in around $10,000 which means they plan to host the event again in 2020. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely exceeded our expectations and we had raďŹ&#x201E;es to raise additional funds too,â&#x20AC;? Beattie said. La Salleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Hometown Halloween event continues to grow too. Beth Ketter, administrative assistant for the city of La Salle, said more businesses are participating now than ever before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had almost all of the downtown businesses handing out candy this year,â&#x20AC;? she said.

But just because they came out for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean families will be skipping trick-or-treating, Bold and Curvy owner Andrea Sugg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something in addition to (trick-or-treating),â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another event that brings people to downtown who might now usually come here.â&#x20AC;? Ketter agreed that many seem to want to double dip on treats with both the weekend event and regular Halloween. But the Hometown Halloween event offers a security blanket if things run astray on the 31st. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the weather doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperate, at least you got this in,â&#x20AC;? Ketter said.

Joan Fernandez has not noticed a dip in trick-or-treat participants in her neighborhood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it is one of the most popular neighborhoods to head to in town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty much the same,â&#x20AC;? she said of the areas around 28th and 30th streets in Peru. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say we get a lot more people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in the neighborhoods. Fernandez said they will typically see more than 700 kids stop by the house and they sometimes run out of candy before trick-ortreat hours end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We struggle to make it through those two hours,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Yednock promotes video campaign to market Illinois Opioid Helpline State Rep. Lance Yednock (D-Ottawa) is promoting a statewide video campaign by Illinois Department of Human Services to bring awareness to their new Illinois Helpline for Opioids and Other Substances. “In order to build a stronger Illinois, we must ensure that Illinoisans who are struggling with opioid use have access to the care and health resources they need,” Yednock said. “Supporting the Illinois Helpline for Opioids and Other Substances is one of the many steps I plan to take to help Illinoisans work through opioid and other substance abuse.” The helpline connects individuals struggling with opioid or other substance abuse problems, and anyone affected by the disease, directly with treatment and recovery options. Videos feature individuals who share their stories of recovery and organizations from across the state who are providing treatment and recovery services for opioid and other substance use disorders. This year, Yednock supported HB 3459, which would require the Department of Public Health to document and collect data on Illinois deaths, in which opioid overdose is determined to be a contributing factor. The Illinois department would then be charged to report their findings to the General Assembly. If you or someone you know is suffering from an opioid or other substance use disorder, call 1 (833) 2FINDHELP or visit HelplineIL.org.

Peru pushes forward with pool feasibility study By Brett Herrmann

NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

The city of Peru will continue to look at the feasibility of adding a public swimming pool, but at least a few residents believe the study is ill-advised. At Monday’s meeting, the council OK’d the Peru Public Pool Feasibility Study with Counsilman-Hunsaker, a Missouri-based company, in an amount not to exceed $22,000. Former Friends for Peru Pool and council member Sherry Mayszak said during public comment if that amount was allocated to the city’s pool fund every year since she was on the council in 2011, there would be a healthy amount of funding to get started on the project. She said with a new police station, North Peoria Street improvements and a new substation on Water Street, the city cannot afford a pool right now. Mayszak questioned the timing of the study, with both council and mayoral positions up for election in 2021. She said she doesn’t believe the current administration would ever build a new pool. She asked the council to not spend money on a feasibility study and donate the funding to the Friends for Peru Pool Account.

Alderman Tom Payton, who Mayszak said would likely not vote in favor of building a pool since he previously called a pool a “money pit,” addressed his stance on the issue. “When I said a pool is a money pit, that’s my personal opinion and I believe it is,” he said. But he added he would seek out the input of his constituents on the issue before making a decision. “I will not let my personal feelings get involved in this vote,” Payton said. Alderman Mike Radtke said projects like the North Peoria Street improvements will be paid for — in part — with motor fuel tax funding, which is specifically used for road improvements. City engineer Eric Carls said this study is part of the first phase of the project. It will lay out costs analysis for the pool, including construction costs, operational costs and potential revenue. Carls estimated the process would take three to four months and in spring the council would decide whether or not to move onto the design phase. Carls said this feasibility process would be necessary even if the council was 100% certain they were going to build a pool. Radtke asked if the study

would consider the proximity of other pools in neighboring towns. He said he wanted to further look into the possibility of Peru adding something unique, instead of a business that is competing with similar operations so close in the region. Friends for Peru Pool member Gina Martin said children need a mode of transportation to get to pools in other communities, whereas they might be able to walk to a pool in Peru. She also said she would like to see a pool built at its former location and not at the corner of Plain and 10th streets. Carls said the pools location is not set in stone and the feasibility study would help narrow down options. Martin also said she believes construction of a new public pool should be put up for a vote. “Let the people decide. We’re going to be the ones putting up taxes for it,” she said. The city did previously vote on the construction and operation of a pool funded by a real estate property tax in March 2013, according to La Salle County voter records. The referendum was non-binding, meaning the vote totals did not decide the outcome, and overall the referendum got about 41% of the votes in favor

of building a new pool. A NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON City clerk Dave Bartley said the city will soon have an updated website and was set to show it off at Monday’s council meeting. But some technical difficulties with the council chambers visual equipment meant no presentation, which Bartley called “a little embarrassing.” The big reveal will have to wait a few more days and Bartley said the city is looking for feedback once it is online. “It will go live at the end of this week,” he said. PERU PROCEEDINGS ä The council extended the closing date for the former Jewell/Osco site southeast of the intersection of Shooting Park Road and Route 251. Carls said some potential buyers have a due diligence period and needed extended time. A zoning hearing is scheduled for Wednesday with Sidlyd Investments, LLC, which is in the process of purchasing the property. äThe planning and zoning commission now has a twothirds attendance requirement, which mirrors the requirements for the city’s parks and recreation board.

BRIEFS Public invited to jail and sheriff’s center groundbreaking Nov. 12 PRINCETON — A groundbreaking ceremony has tentatively been scheduled for 3 p.m. Nov. 12 for the new Bureau County Law Enforcement Center that will be constructed on the northeast side of Princeton, Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed said. He was still working on details this week. Voters last November supported a half-cent sales tax to retrofit the former Bureau County Republican newspaper building into a state-of-the-art law enforcement center. Proceeds from the sale of the county nursing home funded the initial purchase of the building. Voters had approved spending $12 million for the facility. Recently, to receive better bids, the Bureau County Board had plans redesigned slightly, with new space for the coroner’s office no longer in the space and with BueComm no longer wishing to move the Bureau County dispatching center from a building it shares with Princeton Police Department. Vissering Construction of Streator came in this earlier month with a bid of $11.9 million for the project. Reed said the general contractor and local members of the building trades will be invited to the groundbreaking ceremony. Reed said his chief deputies, Bureau County Board chairman Marshann Entwhistle and county board member Keith Cain worked hard to make the new law enforcement center a reality. It will replace the jail and sheriff’s office near the courthouse that was built in 1974.

Corrected tax bill due tomorrow in Bureau County Property owners in Bureau County will have until Wednesday, Oct. 30 to pay the corrected second 2018 real estate tax bill installment that includes the tax levy or levies omitted from the original bill. Earlier this month, taxpayers were notified by certified mail of any arrearages owed by taxpayers as the result of administrative errors by the county clerk. Illinois law requires taxpayers be notified by certified mail and pay the taxes owed, no matter how small the tax arrearages amount. The real estate tax amount is still due and payable to the Bureau County Collector. Payments received after Oct. 30 will be assessed penalty/interest, according to Illinois statute and all county taxpayers are to be treated equally and in the same manner. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Matthew Eggers, County Clerk at (815) 875-2014 or Joseph Birkey, County Treasurer at (815) 8723241.

L-P junior wins state title Tonica 4-H club president moves on to nationals in trapshooting By Craig Sterrett NEWS EDITOR

TONICA — Add “state champion” to the list of sharpshooting honors for Cole Haynes of rural Tonica. Haynes missed only three shots out of 100 to claim the 2019 State 4-H Shotgun Shoot championship this fall at the Brittany Shooting Park in Bunker Hill. “The first round I hit 23 out of 25, which for me, that’s not very good. My second box, I had a perfect box, 25,” he said. After lunch, he hit all 25 clay pigeons from a box, giving him 50 in a row. “In trap shooting, that’s pretty big to hit 25 twice in a row.” Four of Cole’s teammates also participated at the state meet

south of Springfield, and his dad and mom, Tricia and Tommie, attended as spectators. Tommie said fellow competitors and spectators start to pay attention when someone’s on the verge of a “straight 25.” The Bailey Creek 4-H Club member (and longtime president) closed out with 24 out of 25, finishing with his personal-best score of 97. Tommie said he, personally, has had a straight-25, but only once, and never a 50. He said his son wants to get a straight-75 patch next. “I like the challenge of setting goals and working on it all season,” Cole said. He’s the first La Salle County 4-H member to place in the state competition, let alone win the champion buckle, his mom noted. He hit 94 targets to finish eighth last year at state. The championship has earned him a place at the national 4-H shoot in Nebraska next June. Nationals has become the next big target for him — in addition to keeping sharp by practicing

PRINCETON — When it comes to dollars, Princeton Elementary School is starting off the new fiscal year in good shape and is in better financial standings today than it was one year ago. Superintendent Tim Smith shared his monthly financial report with the PES Board during Monday’s regular meeting. He compared the district’s current fund balances with where they stood one year ago. All funds today total $5.8 million compared to $5.4 at this time last year. Breaking down that figure, in the education fund, current fiscal year shows $3.3 million compared to last fiscal year’s $2.8 million.

VAN ORIN — A man died after a grain bin entrapment at a rural home at 24198 Route 92, just west of Van Orin, Monday afternoon. Bureau and La Salle County first responders were called to a grain bin entrapment at a rural home at 24198 Route 92, just west of Van Orin, Monday afternoon. The call came in around 12:40 p.m. The caller claimed a person had fallen into the grain bin and couldn’t be seen. First responders quickly arrived to the rural address. An OSF Life Flight helicopter also landed on scene of the farm. Shortly after their arrival, the call turned into a victim recovery. Bureau County Coroner Janice Wamhoff confirmed

Laverne Molln, 57, of Walnut was pronounced dead at the scene. During the recovery, crews lowered men into a metal bin as they attempted to search for Molln. Equipment was used to cut through the side of the bin to release grain during the search. The grain had to be scooped and sucked up as the rescue units continued their search. Princeton Fire Department and Ohio Fire Department received assistance at the scene from MABAS 25 technical rescue team out of La Salle County, LaMoille Fire, Arlington Fire, LaMoille Ambulance, Bureau County Sheriff’s Office, Illinois Department of Transportation and several local farmers who helped with equipment. Crews began leaving the scene around 4 p.m.

year. This fund currently sits at $262,000 compared to $341,000 at this time last year. The bond and interest fund is lower today than this time last year as PES hasn’t issued any bonds. The fund today sits at $65,000 compared to last year’s $143,000. The transportation fund is sitting about the same with $452,000 this year compared to $466,000 last year. Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund fund is higher this year with $452,000 compared to last year’s $411,000. The working cash fund is higher this year with $356,000 compared to last year’s $228,000. Tort immunity sits at $358,000 this year compared to $401,000 last year. Fire prevention/life safety fund currently sits at $639,000 compared to $580,000 last year. “All-in-all the financial report

is quite aligned with where it was a year ago,” Smith said. The board also reviewed the district’s financial profile history from 2012 to present. The reports are ratings the state gives school districts for their finances. In 2012, PES was struggling financially and was given a warning status by the state. That rating continued for two years. In 2015, the district moved to watch status. In 2016, PES climbed out of watch status and was given review and had been there until the most recent fiscal year when it received recognition status, which is the highest rating. “Part of the reason for this is timeliness of state funding,” Smith said. “It’s much better when they send the money and you’re not running $900,000 behind in revenue.”

Six-figure fix for Met Center roof Original architect says roof’s still OK By Jim Dunn SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — The Princeton Park District Board is reconsidering the type of roof it wishes to have installed on the 30-year-old Bureau County Metro Center. The current roof, a ballast roof that is covered with small rocks, has lasted three decades but needs to be replaced. Board members, meeting this week, began considering the possibility of reroofing the facility with the same kind of roof it has now, rather than a non-ballast roof that would consist of a membrane adhered to the top of the building. Their second thoughts came about after the board withdrew its contract last month with R.A. Oldeen of Kewanee for the placement of a non-ballast roof, known as an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) roof, on the Metro Center. The nearly $400,000 contract for a 31,000-square-foot roof was withdrawn upon the recommendation of Jerry Purdy, owner of

Design Alliance, who is advising the park board on the project. Purdy was involved as architect with the original construction of the Metro Center in the 1980s. Purdy had informed the board that Oldeen did not bid the roof replacement project according to the detailed specifications put forth by the park district. Present at Monday’s meeting, Purdy reviewed several suggested changes to future bid specifications before discussion turned to the possibility of simply replacing the old ballast roof with a new ballast roof. Purdy said ballast roofs are considered previous technology, although it was later pointed out in discussion that the current ballast roof has lasted 30 years. Purdy noted that the roof is still OK for now. “You’re in a good spot,” he said. The district’s challenge, he said, will be to get attract three or four bids to give it some options on the roof as it moves forward. With two board members, Andy Marti and Bob Halberg, absent, the board decided to delay until its Nov. 4 meeting a decision on whether to rebid the project with a non-ballast membrane roof or a ballast roof.

AP POLL

Most in US oppose reparations for slavery By Corey Williams and Noreen Nasir

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

DETROIT (AP) — Few Americans are in favor of giving reparations to descendants of enslaved black people in the United States, a poll shows, even as the idea has gained momentum among Democratic presidential contenders. Only 29% of Americans say the government should pay cash reparations, according to the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll. But the poll reveals a large divide between Americans of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Most black Americans, 74%, favor reparations, compared with 15% of white Americans. Among Hispanics, 44% favor reparations. Lori Statzer, 79, of West Palm Beach, Florida, opposes cash reparations and an official government apology. “None of the black people in America today are under the slavery issue,” said Statzer, who is white. “It’s over with.” Using taxpayers’ money to pay reparations “would be unfair to me,” she added. “My ancestors came to this country, worked hard to become Americans and never asked for anything.” Poll respondents also were sharply divided by race on whether the U.S. government should issue an apology for slavery: 64% of white Americans oppose a government apology, while 77% of black Americans and 64% of Hispanics believe an apology is due. Overall, 46% of Americans favor and 52% oppose a national apology. Not everyone realizes how horrible slavery was to black Americans, said 63-year-old Nathan Jordan, adding that the federal government should apologize for slavery “because it was wrong.” While he supports reparations, Jordan, who is black and lives in Vienna, Georgia, can’t put a dollar figure on what would be fair. The nation is marking 400 years since the first slave ship sailed to what would become the United States, bringing about 20 slaves to the British colony at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619. Over the next two centuries, more than 300,000 men, women and children were forcibly brought to what is now the U.S. from Africa, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database. The debate on reparations has flared on and off since the moment slavery in the U.S. officially ended in 1865. After the Civil War, Union Army Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman promised compensation to freed slaves in the form of land and mules to farm it — hence the phrase “40 acres and a mule.” But President Andrew Johnson took away the offer. More than 120 years later, then-Rep. John Conyers, a Detroit Democrat, introduced legislation to establish a commission to develop reparations.

When officials break the code of silence Jim Mattis, the retired Marine Corps general and former Defense Secretary, was sort of joking when he recently told a charity dinner: “I think the only person in the military that Mr. Trump doesn’t think is overrated Steven is Colonel Roberts Sanders.” NEWSPAPER Good line, ENTERPRISE but it conAFFILIATE tained a dark and dangerous truth: The president treats military officers with the same disdain with which he views any professional who contradicts his warped worldview — judges, economists, intelligence officers and climate scientists. Even weather forecasters. Trump recognizes only one authority in all matters: himself. And his arrogance is getting worse. Like Mattis, he was sort of joking last August when he proclaimed, “I am the Chosen One.” But in his heart, you know he believes exactly that. In domestic policy, there are plenty of guardrails to contain Trump’s more erratic instincts. Judges blocked his cruelest crackdowns on immigration. Democrats thwarted his attempts to undermine the Affordable Care Act.

Republicans forced him to withdraw one of his craziest ideas, lining his pockets by holding the G7 summit at his own resort. But in foreign and military policy, presidents traditionally exert far more authority over decision-making than they do at home. That’s why Trump’s refusal to follow the advice of what he calls “failed generals” is so deeply disturbing. The president knows almost nothing about military strategy, and his combination of arrogance and ignorance poses a profound threat to the nation’s security interests. The latest example of that ignorance was his precipitous decision to pull U.S. troops out of northern Syria. In one disastrous stroke, he abandoned our Kurdish allies, aided our Russian enemies, encouraged the murderous Assad regime in Damascus, and endangered our closest friend in the region, Israel. Trump apparently doesn’t care about these calamitous consequences, because he has only one goal: creating a campaign slogan — “I brought the troops home!” — for his reelection effort. The Kurds in Syria don’t vote in Michigan and Wisconsin, he reasons, so to hell with them. Military officers generally follow a “code of silence” regarding civilian decisions. Mattis was so alarmed by Trump’s

intentions that he resigned last December when the Syrian pullout was first raised, but he won’t criticize the president directly. Other officers have decided they must violate the code and speak out — a striking sign of how strongly they disagree with the president’s path. Joseph Votel, a retired fourstar Army general who headed U.S. operations in Syria until last spring, wrote in The Atlantic that Trump’s withdrawal “could not come at a worse time.” As he noted: “The decision was made without consulting U.S. allies or senior U.S. military leadership and threatens to affect future partnerships at precisely the time we need them most.” William McRaven, a retired Navy admiral, wrote an op-ed in The New York Times under the headline, “Our Republic Is Under Attack From Our President.” John Allen, a former Marine four-star general, told CNN that “there is blood on Trump’s hands for abandoning our Kurdish allies.” Allen was particularly incensed that the president acted at the urging of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a true tyrant who has systematically dismantled democratic institutions, including a free press. “This is what happens when Trump follows his instincts and because of his alignment with autocrats,” Allen said.

Congressional Republicans have also been following a “code of silence” when it comes to Trump. He remains widely popular with the party’s base, and most lawmakers have been unwilling to risk his wrath. But like the generals who spoke out, a few Republicans were too unnerved by the Syrian debacle to stay quiet. Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, no fan of the president, issued a blistering condemnation: “What we have done to the Kurds will stand as a bloodstain in the annals of American history.” Even Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader and an eager enabler of Trump’s worst instincts, finally had enough. He wrote an article in The Washington Post that said, “Withdrawing U.S. forces from Syria is a grave strategic mistake. It will leave the American people and homeland less safe, embolden our enemies, and weaken important alliances.” Foreign policy seldom decides elections, but the generals and Republicans who are willing to break the code of silence and condemn the president are making a valuable contribution. Most Americans could not find Syria on a map, but that’s not the point. If enough voters, especially women, come to believe that Trump’s recklessness makes them and their families less safe, then the president’s prospects could be seriously threatened.

What’s next: Depositions turn to White House WASHINGTON (AP) — For only the fourth time in U.S. history, the House of Representatives has started a presidential impeachment inquiry. House committees are trying to determine if President Donald Trump violated his oath of office by asking Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden and his family, and to investigate the country’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. DEPOSITIONS TURN TO WHITE HOUSE The three House committees leading the Democratic investigation have scheduled several current and former National Security Council officials to testify this week behind closed doors — an attempt to get a better look inside the White House as Trump pushed Ukraine to conduct politically motivated investigations. But it’s not clear whether the witnesses will appear as scheduled. A lawyer for Charles Kupperman, a former deputy at

the NSC under then-national security adviser John Bolton, said Kupperman will comply if a court orders his appearance. He had been scheduled to testify Monday. Other witnesses summoned this week are current NSC staffers Tim Morrison and Alexander Vindman. Morrison is particularly significant. William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, told lawmakers in his deposition last week about phone calls he had with Morrison that described the Ukraine effort. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, who’s leading the inquiry, said Sunday he would like Bolton to testify but expects the White House would “fight us” over his appearance. Bolton is “a very important witness” who has “very relevant information,” Schiff, D-Calif., told ABC’s “This Week.” The committees are scheduled to hear from three other State Department and Defense Department witnesses as well. Lawmakers want to determine

whether military aid to Ukraine was held up as a condition of the investigations. The Democrats are moving quickly, sometimes scheduling multiple depositions in one day. They’re trying to compile facts and eventually transition to public hearings. Schiff said Saturday that the committees are making “rapid progress.” He told ABC that “we will be doing public hearings, and I think we’ll be doing them soon.” A WITNESS SUES It is unclear if all of the officials will appear because Trump has pledged to obstruct the probe. So far, most witnesses have decided to testify after receiving subpoenas from the committees. One of the witnesses, Kupperman, has taken the extraordinary step of asking a federal court who he should listen to — Congress or Trump. After he was subpoenaed, Kupperman filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday asking a court whether he should accede to House demands for his tes-

timony or to assert “immunity from congressional process” as directed by Trump. In the lawsuit, Kupperman said he “cannot satisfy the competing demands of both the legislative and executive branches.” Without the court’s help, he said, he would have to make the decision himself — one that could “inflict grave constitutional injury” on either Congress or the presidency. DEMOCRATIC COURT VICTORY A judge on Friday ordered the Justice Department to give the House secret grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation , handing a victory to Democrats who want the material for the impeachment inquiry. In ordering the department to turn over the material by Oct. 30, Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell affirmed the legality of the impeachment inquiry itself. The Mueller materials could reveal previously hidden details to lawmakers about Trump’s actions during the 2016 election.

This cover image released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt shows "Binging with Babish: 100 Recipes Recreated from Your Favorite Movies and TV Shows," by Andrew Rea.

You can try this at home Cookbook serves up TV, movie foods By Melissa Rayworth

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

It all started with a fictional turkey burger. Andrew Rea’s YouTube video series “Binging with Babish” was born in 2016 when he attempted to recreate the “fussy little burger” described in elaborate detail by Rob Lowe’s character Chris Traeger on a third-season episode of “Parks and Recreation.” Hungry viewers were soon clamoring for more recipes based on foods that appear or get mentioned in movies or TV episodes, and Rea had a new career on his hands. Now he has a new cookbook: “Binging with Babish: 100 Recipes Recreated from Your Favorite Movies and TV Shows” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). And while the premise might sound more silly than serious, the book — like the video series — is actually full of real meals and desserts that transcend their sometimes ridiculous fictional origins. There are a few recipes you’ll marvel at but probably never want to make, like Buddy the Elf’s candy-laden pasta dish from the movie “Elf” or Jake the Dog’s bizarre “perfect sandwich” from the cartoon “Adventure Time,” which includes human tears as an ingredient. But even with these, Rea lays out the steps to recreate them in actual, edible form. Most of this beautiful hardcover book, though, is filled with dishes you’d want to dig into even if they didn’t have a pop-culture connection. Rea’s recipe for flavorful, yogurt-marinated Palestinian chicken really is as good as Larry David says it is during a season eight episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” And Rea’s version of the mushroom soup recipe that Elaine is determined to get from the “Soup Nazi” on “Seinfeld” really is sublime, and not difficult to replicate. Though he points out in the book’s surprisingly moving introduction that he’s not a professional chef, Rea brings a remarkable professionalism to the authenticity of his recipes. His luscious strudel, inspired by the film “Inglourious Basterds,” includes dough painstakingly made from scratch. Fans might be a bit disappointed, in fact, by the shortage of explanation about how these recipes fit into the stories that inspired them. Beyond the name of the show or movie, Rea says little or nothing about that. The focus is on the food. And the more tangential a recipe’s connection to pop culture — like the beef Wellington only casually mentioned in a flirtatious riff delivered by John Slattery’s Roger Sterling on an early episode of “Mad Men” — the more determined Rea seems to be to offer the best and most authentic version possible. The recipes are laid out with detailed instructions amid gorgeous photography, and Rea explains how See COOK Page A8

Museum owner David Bakara points to items in his Georgia museum. together. Some of them have a very human-like face. They just run the gamut.” He’ll gladly tell you about the time he saw a pair of the elusive beasts. In 2010, Bakara says, he was summoned by a Florida man who had spotted strange creatures on his property. Using a thermal imager, he and his team were able to make out a pair of creatures emerging from a nearby swamp. “We took turns looking at them,” he says. “They finally figured out we could see them, so they left.” Bakara could talk all day about what’s become his life’s work but clams up on the most obvious questions: What is Bigfoot? Where did it come from? “That’s a secret we’re not supposed to know about,” he replies ominously. Bakara implies that the creatures are the unintended consequence of a government experiment gone haywire, hinting that his life would be disrupted if he ever went public with his entire body of work. Bakara has been interested in Bigfoot since a young age,

spurred on by early news reports and the 1972 cult classic “The Legend of Boggy Creek,” a sort of docudrama about a Sasquatch-like creature supposedly hunkered down in Arkansas. He knows he’ll never persuade all the people — even most of the people — of Bigfoot’s existence, and he’s fine with that. “Does everybody need to know everything you know?” Bakara asks. “No. It’s best they don’t know.’ There are doubters, of course. One person signed the guestbook as “Bigfoot,” listing his home as the “Woods.” In the section that asks “How did you hear about us,” the visitor writes: “People were taking my picture.” But Bakara says most visitors treat the museum with respect, at least while they’re on the grounds. “I’m just curious,” says Angie Langellier, who stopped in with her family recently while passing through on a trip from Illinois. “So far, I’ve had nothing that’s convinced me. “But obviously, a lot of people have seen a lot of things that have convinced them.”

Cover your ground, for your plants’ sake By Lee Reich

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Nature abhors bare ground, and so should you. Her response to naked earth is to clothe it, a job at which many weeds excel. Bare soil is too easily blown and washed away by wind and water. Rainfall pounding on it seals pores, making it much harder for water to penetrate. This further contributes to erosion, which snowballs as moving water increases speed and carves out rivulets and then gullies. Bare soil is also thrashed by sun-

light, which creates a hot, dry root environment in summer. In winter, cold penetrates deepest in bare soil. Those weeds that naturally protect bare soil have some obvious drawbacks in the garden. So one way to keep garden soil protected and free of weeds in the coming months is to keep it covered with something else: mulch. Consider laying mulch over any bare ground. Mulching does more than just keeps weeds at bay and soil protected from the elements. On garden paths, a surface covering

Parents want to stop daughter from vaping Dear Harriette: My teenage daughter and her friends got into a bit of trouble at a party this weekend. My husband and I discovered SENSE & that SENSITIVITY they were Harriette Cole vaping. I know UNIVERSAL that UCLICK this activity is targeted to teens. I also remember that I tried smoking cigarettes when I was a teenager. That said, I feel like the stakes are much higher for teens today than they were back in my time. Cigarettes do kill, but usually over many years of repetitive use. News reports today show that teenagers have been dying suddenly after vaping. Death should be a good enough scare tactic, but I’m not sure. I know these kids want to experiment. How can I get them to be safe when I know they want to try things? — Anti-Vaping Dear Anti-Vaping: As you likely remember, teenagers typically think of themselves as invincible and rarely consider fatal consequences to their actions. And yet, as parents and adults, we want to protect them more than anything.

Restricting them from certain behaviors only works to a certain extent when they spend so much time on their own. Scaring them with real examples of their peers coming into harm’s way may help. Turning on the news or looking at a newspaper will show that people are getting sick and sometimes dying from vaping. This goes for vaping nicotine products and marijuana products. Tell your daughter directly that you know she and her friends have tried vaping and that you are 100% against it. Lay out your reasons, emphasizing that young people have died recently as a result of vaping. Be direct by stating that you believe there are some things that are better left untried, or at least not tried again. Recommend that they move past vaping, because it isn’t worth it. Here’s an article that breaks down what is happening with vaping these days: bit.ly/31lDpS0. Encourage your daughter to make smart choices for herself — she is worth it.

MULTIPLE BENEFITS FROM ORGANIC MATERIALS Except for stones, bricks and other inorganic materials that are sometimes used as mulches in paths and rarely if ever need replenishing, the best materials for mulching everywhere in the garden are organic. These materials — compost, straw, pine needles, leaves, wood chips and the like — need regular renewal because, with time, they decompose. (“Organic materials” are materials that were once living.) Don’t begrudge organic materials for disappearing, though. As they do, they enrich the ground with soil-building humus, release nutrients into the soil, and nourish beneﬁcial soil microorganisms. When we lay these materials on top of the ground rather than digging them in, they can protect the surface, and their good-

ness gradually seeps downward for long-lasting benefits. How frequently mulch needs to be replenished depends on how quickly it decomposes, and that in turn depends on the material and the weather. Hotter and moister weather speeds decomposition along. Generally, I dress my whole garden with mulch an inch or so deep in the autumn. WHAT TO USE My trees, shrubs and informal flower beds get a blanket of autumn leaves (either fresh or allowed to decompose for a year or two) or wood chips. But any organic material that carries along few weed seeds is good. Trees, shrubs and flower plants aren’t generally heavy feeders; besides protecting the soil, any of these mulches generally also provides sufficient nutrients for these plants. The vegetable garden goes into winter with a fresh dressing of wood chips on the paths and, except where garden plants are still growing, an icing of rich, brown compost on each bed.

Blackhawks send Perlini to Red Wings DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings acquired forward Brendan Perlini in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. The 23-year-old Perlini has been a healthy scratch for most of this season, appearing in just one game. But he has 45 goals and 27 assists in 200 career appearances with Chicago and Arizona. Perlini was selected by the Coyotes with the 12th overall pick in the 2014 draft. The Red Wings parted with defenseman Alec Regula in the deal. The 19-year-old Regula will remain with the London Knights in the Ontario Hockey League. Regula, a West Bloomfield, Michigan, native, was drafted by Detroit in the third round last year. Chicago acquired Perlini and Dylan Strome when it traded Nick Schmaltz to Arizona last November. Perlini had 12 goals and three assists in 46 games with the Blackhawks last season. Perlini set career highs when he had 17 goals and 13 assists in 74 games for the Coyotes during the 2017-18 season.

NFL: BEARS

Nagy defends kneel down decision By Arthur Arkush SHAW MEDIA

If Matt Nagy has another opportunity to go into victory formation while trailing on second down with 43 seconds remaining at the opposition’s 21-yard line to set up a would-be game-winning field goal, like his ill-fated decision in the Bears’ 17-16 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, “I would do it again a

thousand times,” he said Monday. It’s an odd hill to die on, but it’s obviously Nagy’s prerogative. Suffice to say, his QB Mitch Trubisky won’t get a thousand more chances to prove that he can capably run Nagy’s offense — no more than nine, we’d imagine — but the coach confirmed that the inconsistent former No. 2 overall pick will remain the starter when the 3-4 Bears visit the 4-4 Philadelphia Eagles this

week. During his 28-minute Monday postmortem — including the final 10-plus minutes after waving off Bears PR — Nagy detailed the strides he saw his 29th-ranked scoring offense take, including those of Trubisky, who threw for a season-high 253 passing yards. “I’ll just throw one out that’s a special throw — second-and-18 to Trey Burton across the middle. That’s a tough throw,” Nagy

said. And there’s several more on here that are really good throws. ... Now, there [are] others within the game that he can get better at. There’s one that he truly missed, and that’s the one you all are talking about, the one to Taylor Gabriel.” One play prior to Trubisky’s fourth-quarter fumble that led to the Chargers’ game-winning touchdown, Trubisky air-mailed See BEARS Page B2

PREP VOLLEYBALL: CLASS 2A PRINCETON REGIONAL

Tigresses advance, Spikers ousted By Kevin Hieronymus SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — The Princeton volleyball team moved on for another day in the IHSA postseason, defeating rival Hall 2514, 25-23 in Class 2A Princeton Regional quaterfinal play Monday at Prouty Gym. Mendota was not as fortunate, falling to Kewanee 25-23, 19-25, 25-18 in the first match of the night. With the win, the No. 5-seeded Tigresses (21-14) advance to play No. 4 Mercer County (21-11) in a semifinal at 6:30 tonight. “They’re a good team. They have three really good kids,” PHS coach Andy Puck said. “Their middle leads their team in kills. She also hits a few balls on the outside. She’s kind of their go-to kid, their leader. “They play a little slower tempo than what we’re used to. And that tempo kind of scares me. A lot different than a Hall and our conference is more upbeat and faster paced. We’ll line up our best against their best and see what happens.” PRINCETON DEF. HALL 25-14, 25-23 Madison Richards came up big for the Tigresses to break open the first set. The sophomore middle hitter put up a block before smacking three straight kills as part of a 7-0 run to give the Tigresses a 17-8 lead. Richards teamed up with senior Gracie Ross for a sideout at 20-14 and added three straight aces to put the Tigresses up 2314. Richards finished with team highs of seven kills, six blocks and five aces to go with eight points. “It was the Madison Richards show. She won the match for us tonight,” Puck said. “Between her serving and net play, it was ridiculous. She takes a lot of pressure off our outside hitters and (setter) Katie (Bates) to and is able to put a ball away. It was her night.” Senior Kenzie Coleman hit for the final two points for the 25-14 win. Any thoughts of a run-away

Meghan Bernardoni hit for another tie at 21-21 and Pozzi served up an ace to give Hall its first lead since 5-3 at 22-21. A ser-

vice error by PHS pushed Hall to a 23-22 lead. Princeton sided out and scored on a Hall hitting error before Coleman brought the hammer to put the match away. “You knew (Hall) was going to be a completely different team in that second set than the first,” Puck said. “They pushed us into

situations we weren’t comfortable with. We were able to trust each other, battle out of those. We showed a lot of life tonight, a lot of heart tonight so I was really proud of my kids.” Hall coach Demi Salazar sang the praises of his team defense See TIGRESSES Page B2

MLB: CUBS

Ross, Cubs eyeing return to playoffs, title run By Andrew Seligman AP SPORTS WRITER

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross (left) talks with reporters after a press conference where he was introduced on Monday in Chicago.

CHICAGO (AP) — David Ross slipped on his old No. 3 jersey, as if it was 2016 all over again, though he and the Cubs insisted this is not about the past. It’s a step toward a future they hope includes a return to the postseason and more World Series championships. The Cubs introduced Ross as their 55th manager on Monday to replace Joe Maddon with their sights set on getting back to the playoffs after missing out for the first time in five years. “I’ve been a part of a lot of winning teams,” said Ross, a revered leader on the 2016 championship team who also played on a

World Series winner in Boston. “I know what winning looks like. There’s things that I expect out of players, out of myself, that entail winning.” The Cubs gave Ross a threeyear deal last week with a club option through the 2023 season. President of baseball operations Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer are under contract through 2021, and stars Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant are under club control through then. “I think he signed a fairly standard length for a first-year manager,” Epstein said. “I never for one second think about my contract or the duration of it. We’re always trying to act in the best interest of the organization for

the long haul and trying hard to make sure that that big picture and the long view manifest in winning seasons in the current year. I think he’s somebody that the entire organization felt good about. It wasn’t one person picking him; he was the consensus choice throughout the organization. Hopefully, he’s here for a really long time.” The most immediate issue for Ross will be deciding which coaches to keep and which outsiders to hire. Ross said he has texted the Cubs’ coaches, but he has not begun to assemble a staff. Epstein said Ross plans to keep “a number of coaches” and might bring in some from the outside. See CUBS Page B2

for another stellar night. “Our defense was phenomenal tonight. I mean, some of the things we tracked down were crazy,” he said. “That’s what we expect. But the defense can only hold for so long and if we don’t convert we have a problem.” Abby Peterson led PHS with nine points and seven digs, while Bates contributed 18 assists, seven digs and eight points. “We were uber aggressive tonight. We still made some young errors, some young mistakes, but a lot of that was attributed to Hall,” Puck said. “Those kids played their hearts out. They were flying everywhere. Both sides were.

in the opening set, the Spikers fought back nicely in the second game, building leads of 19-11, 22-14 and 23-16 on the way to a 25-19 winner. However, the Spikers could not ride that momentum into the decisive third set. The Boiler Girls jumped out to a 5-1 lead and never looked back. They went up 15-8 and then 19-10 on a run of Mendota hitting errors. The Spikers pulled within 2015, but got no closer, falling 25-18. “I felt like we came out and played really hard. You could tell they didn’t want to lose. They were playing to win the whole game, never backed down,” Kewanee coach Claire Nichols aid.

Sometimes that’s the case in volleyball. “We made some uncharacteristic errors. We had some big plays, too, but there were uncharacteristic mistakes that cost us points. One here and one there slowly starts to add up.” Amellia Bromoschenkel had an all-around night for the Spikers with 10 kills, 11 digs and six blocks.

SHAW MEDIA/MIKE VAUGHN

Mendota’s Bianca Espinoza (No. 15) and Jae Fitzgerald (No. 18) go up for a block during the Spikers’ 25-23, 19-25, 25-18 loss to Kewanee in a Class 2A Princeton Regional quarterfinal Monday in Princeton. “We were very obviously hopeful with the class adjustment we would see more success in the postseason,” Monroe said. “I do think the 2A placement is

appropriate for this school, but it comes down to you still have to perform whether your 1A, 2A, 3A or 4A. We didn’t have it tonight.”

Shaheen might’ve run the wrong route one play earlier, eschewing the fade for a slant on one incompletion. The peculiar oneman route to Robinson on the play prior to that drew an interference flag, with three pass catchers on the opposite side of the line not even breaking the formation, “got us a free first down,” Nagy said. The failed play that Nagy most regretted also perhaps drew the most ire from Bears fans — well, at least until the final minute Sunday — because (A) it was a run that didn’t properly manage the clock and (B) it wasn’t the power football approach Nagy was using successfully. “The one that I’m angry about, upset with myself about, is that second-and-1,” he said of

David Montgomery’s run from shotgun, not the I-formation that had yielded superior results, for no gain. “Again, I like the run call. I didn’t like my play after I go back and look after it.” Speaking of the I-formation, Nagy admitted it wasn’t even in his playbook when the season began. He said he “really loved” the Bears’ lone touchdown drive, a 75-yard march to open the second half with the formation utilized on seven of the eight runs — including Montgomery’s four-yard score — but Nagy abandoned it over the next two series — both ending in Trubisky turnovers. For us, you end up going out there and you’re in the I-formation and it’s a big deal about our run game.

Everyone knows that … There’s stuﬀ in there that we have that’s not always run. You gotta have that balance as coaches. For us, these coaches in this league are pretty good and they can scheme pretty well, so they can make adjustments. And when you start getting too predictable with what you’re doing, and you see that because they made adjustments to what you’re doing. You saw one in the middle of that drive, there’s some adjustments they made. So you gotta change it up a little bit. I don’t think that’s necessarily fair to your players, that you keep showing up. ... It’s just part of the adjustments that we make as well.” Unless, of course, it’s trying to get his kicker an even more manageable attempt on a potential game-winner.

Cubs

As for the type of manager Ross will be? “I’m going to be a manager that wants to watch the game and see how it plays out,” he said. “I don’t think that I’ll be this guy that bunts all the time or doesn’t bunt. ... I’m going to watch the game, let it come to me, feel my way through it.” Just don’t expect him to let management pull his strings. “If you’re a front office and you want a puppet, you don’t hire David Ross,” Epstein said. Ross takes over for one of the most successful managers in franchise history. Maddon led the Cubs to the playoffs in four of his five seasons, with three appearances in the NL Championship Series to go with that World Series win. The Cubs conducted two interviews each with Ross and Houston bench coach Joe Espada. Ex-Yankees manager and former Cubs catcher Joe Girardi, former Phillies manager Gabe Kapler, bench coach Mark Loretta and third-base coach Will Venable were also known to have interviewed. But the Cubs ultimately decided to go with the man who was widely viewed

as the heir apparent to Maddon. “I think it’s a collaborative effort between us all,” Ross said. “But I will be making my own decisions and continue (getting) feedback from the group.” Ross was known as a player who would tell teammates what they needed to hear — not necessarily what they wanted to hear. He was able to do it in a way that made them gravitate toward him, rather than alienate them. Ross wasn’t afraid to tell the front office what he thought, either. “I remember one time I didn’t love how he was calling pitches for a certain young pitcher we had just called up,” Epstein said. “I remember trying to find him. We sat down for about five minutes in the dugout before a game and I kind of shared with him: ‘Well, here’s what we have on this pitcher and here’s what worked for him in the minors. Here’s our scouting report. Here’s what the analytics say.’” Epstein expected Ross, the backup catcher, to go along with it. Instead, he got “serious pushback right in my face” with his player telling him “here’s in reality what he can and can’t do.”

He said adding a former manager or veteran bench coach to the staff “is important” given Ross’ lack of experience. The 42-year-old Ross never has managed or coached. He played two of his final 15 seasons with the Cubs and was a respected leader on the 2016 team that ended the infamous World Series championship drought dating to 1908. Affectionately nicknamed “Grandpa Rossy” by Bryant and Rizzo, he became at age 39 the oldest player to homer in a Game 7 of the World Series when he connected against Andrew Miller in the sixth inning in Cleveland. The Cubs wound up winning in the 10th, and Ross got carried off the field and into retirement by teammates. He spent the past three years in Chicago’s front office and as an ESPN analyst. Working with Epstein and Hoyer, he said he gained deeper appreciation for the work behind the scenes — the communication between top executives and the manager, the coaching, scouting and development in the minors.

S&P 500 adds to record as health care stocks climb By Stan Choe

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes slinked higher this morning, and the S&P 500 added to its record after stronger-than-expected profit reports from drugmakers pushed health care stocks to big gains. The reports from Pfizer and Merck highlighted a mixed set of earnings reports from big companies, including Google’s parent. Companies have largely been reporting stronger earnings than analysts expected, but they’re nowhere close to blow-away good. S&P 500 companies are still on track to report a third straight quarter of profit declines, according to FactSet. What’s helped buoy the market in recent weeks are hopes that the United States and China can make progress on their trade dispute, or at least stop making it worse. Lower interest rates have also played a big role, and the Federal Reserve will wrap up a two-day meeting Wednesday on rate policy. Most investors expect the Fed to cut short-term rates by a quarter of a percentage point to offer some protection from the trade war and the slowing global economy. If investors are right, it would be the third such cut since the summer. Treasury yields dipped ahead of the decision, while global stock markets were mixed. The price of crude oil dropped a second straight day, and gold dipped lower.

Millennial money: Vanquish these 5 financial fears By Sean Pyles

NERDWALLET FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fear can consume you. The anxiety of the unknown can drive you to pull the blanket over your head, whether you’re worried about a rustling sound outside your bedroom window or that you won’t have enough retirement savings. Financial fears — not wanting to check your credit, confront your debt or even discuss your student loans — can feel especially shameful. But facing those fears can empower you to take action. 1. STUDENT LOAN STRESS Student loans topped the list of most-feared financial topics among U.S. adults, according to a 2019 survey of 1,006 consumers by TD Ameritrade. Student loan debt, at 36%, outranked even living paycheck to paycheck (26 and credit card debt (20%). HOW TO CONQUER IT: Understand your loans in detail — that’s key to knowing whether you’re on the best repayment plan. Know each loan’s term, balance, interest rate and whether it’s a federal or private loan. For unaffordable federal loans, look into income-driven repayment plans . For private loans, you may be able to refinance for a lower monthly payment (but it may cost more overall). 2. RECESSION ANXIETY Indicators like slowing global economic growth hint that a recession might be coming, raising fears of job loss and asset depletion. HOW TO CONQUER IT: Shore up your savings and diversify your

skills. Build up at least $500 in savings to cover an emergency, advises Boston-based financial coach Kimberly Zimmerman Rand. After that, work toward having a few months’ worth of expenses saved in case of job loss. Make saving easier with direct deposits from your paycheck or automatic transfers from checking to savings. “On the professional side, since we’re not in a recession right now, see how you can improve your job skills, your network, your resume, so if the unfortunate does happen, you’ve already laid the foundation to transition to a new position,” Zimmerman Rand says.

But starting early is most important, not waiting until you can put away a lot. HOW TO CONQUER IT: If you have a workplace retirement plan that offers an employer match, contribute enough to get it.

California wildfire forces residents, celebrities to flee LOS ANGELES (AP) — A wildfire swept through the star-studded hills of Los Angeles on Monday, destroying several large homes and forcing LeBron James and thousands of others to flee. Meanwhile, a blaze in Northern California wine country exploded in size. The flames that roared up a steep hillside near the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles’ Brentwood section illustrated the danger the state faces as high winds batter both ends of California and threaten to turn any spark into a devastating inferno. At least eight homes were destroyed and six damaged in the LA-area blaze, fire officials said. No deaths from either blaze were reported, but a firefighter was seriously injured in the blaze in Sonoma County wine country. Authorities later said he was in stable condition. Some 2.2 million people lacked electricity after California’s biggest utility, Pacific Gas & Electric, shut it off over the weekend in the northern part of the state to prevent its equipment from sparking blazes during windy weather. More deliberate blackouts are possible in the coming days because another round of strong winds is expected. The company, which was driven into bankruptcy after its equipment ignited several deadly wildfires in recent years, admitted Monday that despite the outages, its power lines may have started two smaller fires over the weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area. PG&E also has said its transmission lines may have been responsible for the Sonoma County fire. That blaze, which broke out last week amid the vineyards and wineries north of San Francisco, grew to at least 116 square miles, destroying 123 buildings including 57 homes, damaging another dozen homes and threatening 90,000 more structures, authorities said. Although about 30,000 people were allowed back home Monday afternoon, about 156,000 people were still under evacuation orders because of the fire, mostly from the city of Santa Rosa. People on the eastern side of the fire and in neighboring Lake County also were given evacuation warnings to be prepared to leave because of changing winds. The flames didn’t discriminate. In wine

country, farmworkers who toil in the vineyards were among those displaced. In Los Angeles, James and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger were driven from their homes. “Man these LA (fires) are no joke,” the Los Angeles Lakers star tweeted, using an emoji for the word “fires.” ‘‘Crazy night.” The Hollywood premiere of Schwarzenegger’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” was canceled Monday night. Others who own homes in the evacuation zone include Sen. Kamala Harris, a Democrat running for president, who was not home at the time; Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Iger; and rapper and producer Dr. Dre. Anxious residents made their way down steep hillsides in the middle of the night in Range Rovers, Teslas and Maseratis. They left behind homes decorated for Halloween — skeletons hanging from homes, goblins sitting on front steps, cobwebs draped over bushes — as a plume of smoke glowed like a giant pumpkin. David Boyle, 78, awoke at 3 a.m. to his doorbell ringing and police officers pounding on the front door. They warned him the wildfire was advancing toward his house near the Getty complex. “They said, ‘You need to evacuate.’ I’m like, ‘When?’ They said, ‘Now,’” Doyle said. He grabbed dog food and his wife’s jewelry and hustled his dogs out the door. They went to a recreation center. “It’s a fact of life when you live in this area,” he said. “Every place has some problem with disasters. People talk about earthquakes here, but I don’t think it’s as bad as hurricane season.” Tens of thousands of people were ordered to clear out as the fire spread to more than 600 acres and burned at least five homes, authorities said. The evacuation area extended west into Pacific Palisades, encompassing some of the most exclusive real estate in California, where celebrities and wealthy professionals live in estates nestled in canyons or on ridgetop retreats that cost tens of millions of dollars but are surrounded by tinder-dry vegetation. Hours after homes had burned, some of the 1,000-plus firefighters battling the flames were hosing down smoldering ruins.
