Give your canned goods to food pantries… Plan gels for new jail Bureau County Board OKs $11.9 million contract after tweaking plans

Got any spare cans of food? Give them to brick-and-mortar food pantries like Project Success, where Molly Thrasher sorts through canned goods at the Hall Township Food Pantry in Spring Valley. Large operations like this can help families and people with kitchens prepare healthy meals at home; but a growing number of homeless without kitchens are in need of ready-toeat meals and these are best made available through churches and micro-pantries or help-yourself cabinets.

By Goldie Rapp SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — With plans revised and construction of an addition eliminated, Bureau County Board voted unanimously Tuesday to hire a contractor to create a new sheriff’s office and jail in an existing building. When bids for the new law enforcement center on the north side of Princeton came in much higher than expected last month, project plans were tweaked and the venture was rebid. Tuesday, Bob Albrecht, a member of the county board building and grounds committee, reported the lowest bid, from Vissering Construction of Streator, came in at $11.9 million. The cost is slightly more than the county wanted to spend. However, no longer requiring an addition onto the former Bureau County Republican building, the bid still came in much lower than the original bids that ranged from $17 million to $19 million. Following the meeting, Bureau County Sheriff Jim Reed expressed his enthusiasm to move forward with the project. Reed said the idea of a new jail has been discussed for many years and by several boards, but until now has never come to fruition. He said a groundbreaking date will be scheduled — if weather permits, sometime this fall. The reasons for the original bids being so high for this project were discussed last month by Henry Pittner, representative of the architecture firm BKV Group, which is overseeing this project. Those reasons included inflation, increased labor costs and See JAIL Page A3

TEENS AND STRESS What some parents — and kids — are doing about it

…and not to the help-yourself bins No homes, no kitchens: Ready-to-eat meals are in demand By Tom Collins

NEWSTRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER

It’s called the “Blessing Box” and you can help yourself. Eloide Pinter fills it with non-perishable foods and then leaves it open to anyone who comes to St. John’s Lutheran Church looking for a bite to eat. But Pinter’s daily inventory revealed a disturbing trend: Readyto-eat foods are snatched up more quickly than canned goods that must be mixed, prepared and cooked. It tells her there’s an increase in homeless people with no kitchens or appliances to prepare food themselves. “The easy, pre-packaged stuff you can just pop in a microwave goes faster than the canned vegetables like peas,” said Pinter, church secretary at St. John’s in Peru. “We have a security camera and we see a variety of people show up. It’s all ages.” Churches, food pantries and those who manage self-help kiosks or “micro-pantries” all agree homelessness is on the rise and those without kitchens are

spurning food donations that require any substantial preparation. And that’s putting something of a strain on the charitable organizations most likely to get walk-ins and unannounced visits by the homeless. Churches and micro-pantries need things like snack packs of cheese and crackers, sealed fruit cups or a microwavable pasta dishes. Boxes of stovetop macaroni and canned goods, on the other hand, will be politely declined. One local priest is trying to get his flock to reserve easy-to-open foods for the parish office and to send the rest to the nearest food pantry. The Very Rev. Paul Carlson runs the La Salle Catholic Parishes and doesn’t need canned vegetables for the parish office he needs ready-to-eat meals for the homeless who knock on his door seeking food donations. “The best things are the light things,” Carlson explained.

Planning on donating to a micro-pantry like the one outside St. John’s Lutheran Church in Peru? Make sure it’s something people can open and heat in a microwave. Brick-and-mortar food pantries still need a wide variety of food donations but the help-yourself kiosks attract homeless without kitchens to cook simple meals. Church secretary Eloide Pinter holds up the two most-needed products: Microwavable, single-serve containers or cans with pop-tops.

“There are useful canned goods such as SpaghettiO’s, but overall it’s diﬃcult for people to take cans home with them. They come on foot or bicycle or with pushcarts and cans are just too heavy.” Most canned goods, that is. Any metal container with a pop top is useful to the hungry.

STUDYING SOLAR RULES Village Attorney Herb Klein said he will begin to research other community ordinances on solar panel installations for Utica

tor of development for the Ottawa Community Food Basket. “Those will serve people who don’t have access to kitchens. “But when people come to our food pantry, it’s usually people who have access to kitchens. We don’t so much give ready-to-eat food items as we do ingredients for preparing meals.” Jan Martin runs the Hall Township Food Pantry and she conﬁrmed a growing divide between hungry people who need food for their kitchens and the hungry people who don’t have kitchens or even can-openers. She keeps a stash of

can-openers handy to give to those without kitchen implements. Ten years ago, only a small portion of Hall’s hungry had no kitchen or kitchen implements. Martin estimated 2% of her clients didn’t own a canopener. Today, that ﬁgure is closer to 10%, meaning she, too, needs foods that can be heated in a microwave or simply eaten out of the container.

the high cost of precast concrete. He also said only four manufacturers in the U.S. do prison construction work at the scale of the initial plan, and they charged a premium for their services. WHAT ARE THE CHANGES? Reed and his staff were forced to sit down with an architect and revise the original plans to better suit the project cost. In the tweaked design, there will be four fewer jail beds, a redesigned kitchen area and reconfiguration that eliminates the need to build an addition onto the current building on Ace Road. The reconfiguration stems from BuEComm no longer moving out to the law enforcement center. BuEComm recently learned it would be getting an upgraded phone system and moving it would cost the county an extra $40,000. Therefore, the decision was made to keep BuEComm in its current location, which is adjacent to Princeton Police Department.

Major break repaired in Peru

A City of Peru public works department crew works to fix a break in a 12-inch water main near Peru Municipal Electric facilities on Water Street on Tuesday. City Public Services Manager Jeff King said it was one of three breaks discovered Tuesday in Peru. He said the city had some testing done on pressure-relief valves Monday, and he believes some of the testing created pressure in various locations in the system. The city issued a boil order for residents south of U.S. 6 and west of Peoria Street on Tuesday or anyone who had experienced no water pressure. King said the Water Street leak was discovered at about 1:30 a.m., the city turned down the flow to Water Street early Tuesday, a utilities locator completed his work around 7 a.m. and the city crews worked for about four hours to repair the leak. King said the leak damaged about 50 feet of pavement on Water Street. The city also fixed breaks at First and Church streets and Third and Peoria streets.

Prepare for a season of warmth and safety Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves not only can be beautiful focal points within a home, but they also provide an additional source of heat and can be used to keep rooms or entire homes comfortable without the need for additional and potentially costly heating sources. Just like more modern home heating systems, stoves and fireplaces need to be maintained, and that maintenance includes readying them before winter when they are used more heavily. Ensuring a fireplace or stove is in good working order helps to guarantee efficiency of use and safety during the winter months. Open-flame heating sources carry with them certain risks. The National Fire Protection Association states that, between 20092013, American fire departments responded to 56,000 home structure fires that involved heating equipment. The NFPA notes that the leading factor contributing to home-heating fires is a failure to keep things clean, principally from solid-fueled heating equipment. The following are a handful of ways to stay safe as you get ready for another cozy season around the fire.

THE CHIMNEY Start with the chimney. Begin by having your chimney thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Creosote can build up inside of the chimney. Creosote is highly flammable and becomes more difficult and expensive to clean the longer it builds up inside your flue lining. In addition, animals may have created nest inside of the chimney since the last time the fireplace was used. A professional chimney sweep should be

hired in this situation. He or she will be able to eﬀectively clean the chimney in a manner that is the least messy and disruptive to residents.

SMOKE DETECTORS Install or check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Operational alarms are essential to preventing injury or death resulting from smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation. Such detectors are inexpensive safeguards that should be installed on every floor of the house. Batteries should be replaced every six months, and the alarms themselves should be changed every ﬁve to 10 years. EXTERIOR INSPECTION Inspect the chimney from outdoors as well. Inspect the mortar around any bricks in the chimney and surrounding areas for cracks. If left unaddressed, these can cause dangerous ﬁres. If there are serious cracks, a professional may need to make repairs or the chimney may need to be replaced. You also can have the chimney capped with a screen to keep animals and debris from entering.

Protecting What Matters Most. Your local, independent Pekin Insurance® agent is part of your hometown. They’re your friends and neighbors. They know you and your community. Talk with them about affordable insurance coverage for your car, your home, your business, and your family. They’ll help you protect what matters most.

THE DAMPER Inspect the damper. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a chimney. It should be checked prior to the first use of a stove or fireplace so homeowners can be certain it opens and closes smoothly.

AP ANALYSIS

Suit says feds using immigration marriage interviews as trap By Regina Garcia Cano

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

BALTIMORE (AP) — Alyse and Elmer Sanchez were thrilled when they survived their “green card” interview, a crucial step in obtaining lawful status in the United States. She texted her family from the immigration office as relief washed over her: The officer had agreed that their marriage is legitimate. Moments later, Elmer was in shackles, detained pending deportation to his native Honduras, leaving her alone with their two little boys. “We feel it was a trap, a trick, to get us there,” Alyse said. The Sanchezes have joined five other couples in a class action accusing federal agents of luring families to marriage interviews in Baltimore, only to detain the immigrant spouse for deportation. Federal regulations allow U.S. citizens like Alyse to try to legalize the status of spouses like Elmer, who has been living in the country illegally. Thousands of families are doing it: Records show the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved 23,253 provisional unlawful presence waivers, the final documents spouses, children or parents of citizens need before leaving the country and applying to rejoin their families legally. But the American Civil Liberties Union says a growing number of officers have “cruelly twisted” the rules by detaining immigrant spouses following marriage interviews. The ACLU is pursuing a similar complaint in Massachusetts and says dozens of detentions also have happened at field offices in New York, Virginia, Florida, Illinois and California. The Maryland case is assigned to U.S. District Judge George J. Hazel, who already reversed the deportation of a Chinese man detained after a successful marriage interview in Baltimore. Ruling just before Wanrong Lin landed in Shanghai last November, Hazel said the government can’t use the process “as a honeypot to trap undocumented immigrants who seek to take advantage of its protections.” Alyse told The Associated Press her family’s life “just seemed so perfect.” She and Elmer, now 31 and 41, began dating in 2013, after he learned she was selling her car and showed up at her door. He bought it, and they married that year. They have two sons, 4 and 2, and live in the Washington suburb of Kensington, Maryland, where he owns a home-remodeling company. She works at a veterinary clinic in nearby Sandy Spring. Court records show Elmer had been ordered in absentia to be deported in September 2005, after missing an immigration hearing he said he was never notified of. After consulting with lawyers, Alyse submitted paperwork to get her husband a green card in September 2018. Their notice for the May 7 appointment said the required interview was “solely to confirm the bona fides of the couple’s marriage,” according to the lawsuit.

What the world needs now is more complainers My eyes roll and I yell after each car I come into contact with doesn’t signal their turn into traffic. My eyes squint with distaste as my shopping cart disproportionately wobbles. I breathe in a long sigh of displeasure when I Ali Braboy can’t find the NEWSTRIBUNE TV remote REPORTER anywhere. The world needs more complaining, more complaining like and unlike the thoughts I just shared. Recently someone in my life referred to someone else’s complaint as a “first-world problem.” But I don’t think there’s such a thing

as a “first-world problem.” Complaining leads us to a better life; it means we think the world could be better than it is, even in a tiny way that might come off as superficial to others. Without complaining, we wouldn’t have achieved the amendment that officially abolished slavery in the U.S., the right to vote in the U.S., the protection of freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the press and the right to petition, the legalization of same-sex marriage. Without complaining, we wouldn’t have the United States of America. I don’t care if my friend is complaining about the gum on the bottom of his shoe or if Joe across the street is complaining about the grocery store being out of his favorite food. I want them to scream louder and to share that complaint with every-

one in their life. One day someone else who cares about that food just as much as Joe will hear that complaint and agree. And they’ll get together and make sure the grocery store is never out of that food again. That complaint will flourish into a cause worth backing, gain traction and change the world for the better. Because guess what, world? There’s still a heck of a lot here that isn’t okay, a whole of a heck lot that most of us aren’t okay with. I don’t want us to be okay with the gender pay gap, the number of homeless people in the world, the income gap between the rich and poor, global warming, the existence of cancer, discrimination and prejudice and how those two things still affect so many people — the list goes on and on. And if you’re OK with those

things — something is wrong with you. I never understood those people who say we should all just be grateful with the life we have. I never understood those who think we should walk with our heads down against the pavement letting others control us and tell us we shouldn’t complain. I, along with the rest of those annoying complainers, will continue to sigh, whine and cry until the world is a better place because we’re done with the status quo and the box people try to corner us into.

Albert is special but aren’t most of our dogs? During a slow week in Washington, it occurs to me that readers might enjoy an update on my unusual cat, Albert, aka “The Orange Dog.” Born under a neighbor’s front porch in the country, he spent his infancy among dogs Gene Lyons and freerange chickNEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ens. ASSOCIATION Hence Albert has always been open to interspecies relationships. The first time Maggie, our aggressive Great Pyrenees, stuck her muzzle in his face, the tiny kitten jumped on her head. She adopted him for life. He grew up an honorary member of our farm’s security team: two Pyrenees, a German shepherd, and The Orange Dog. Anywhere I went, they all four followed. Albert often sat on a fence post and let Mount Nebo the horse nuzzle him. Other horses, no. Cows he treated with benign indifference, a favor they mostly returned. When I’d call him at night, Albert came running. I’d pick out his orange eyes in the flashlight beam. To keep him tame, I never fed Albert outdoors. An efficient predator, after

he’d exterminated the mice in our barn, Albert began traveling across the pastures to a neighbor’s hay barn. I worried about coyotes, although he was too clever to attempt the journey after dark. So we’d walk over in the afternoon to fetch him. He’d come running from the barn, rub-a-dub on the dogs’ legs, and then follow us home, panting like a little tiger. One time we encountered a half-dozen turkey vultures feeding on a cow’s afterbirth. Albert walked casually among them as if they were chickens. They waddled aside to let him pass. Live animals don’t much interest them. I was amazed; Albert, calm. I said all that to say this: Academic behaviorists conducting experiments to study the affective bonds of domestic animals would do better to spend a few years on a small farm than in a laboratory. I read dueling articles last week, one claiming emotional superiority for dogs, “What makes dogs so special and successful? Love,” and the other cats, “Cats Bond Securely to Their Humans Maybe Even More Than Dogs Do.” I agreed with both. See, unlike the professors, I don’t fear the “L” word: love. I’m a great apostle of Carl Safina’s 2016 book, “Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel.” An evolutionary bi-

ologist, Safina asks “[D]o other animals have human emotions? Yes, they do. Do humans have animal emotions? Yes, they’re largely the same. Fear, aggression, well-being, anxiety and pleasure are the emotions of shared brain structures and shared chemistries, originated in shared ancestry.” Racehorses commonly pair up with goats, cats, sheep, pigs — basically any animal that will keep them company. The great Seabiscuit used to sleep lying down — horses normally stand — with a small dog and a spider monkey lying across his neck. Our basset hound Fred enjoyed snoozing in the hay with cows. Out on the farm, we often met a group we called “The Three Amigos” — inseparable companions meandering along our road: a pinto horse, a sheep and a small dog. Neighbors would feed and water them until their Mexican American owner showed up to fetch them home. Which brings us back to The Orange Dog’s feat of empathy, something I’ve written about before. After I broke several ribs falling from Mount Nebo and suffered intense pain, Albert transitioned from an outdoor to an indoor cat, spending 90 percent of his time sitting with me, watching Red Sox games and purring. It was quite moving. After I healed up, he headed

back to the hay barn. The dogs could tell I was hurting, but Pyrenees tend toward stoicism: “OK, so you’re hurting. Try not to whine.” So it pains me to report that Albert has left us. Here in town, we have a neighbor who feeds cats on her front porch. The Orange Dog has picked up and moved. He comes to visit late at night maybe once a week, eats and runs. My wife has taken it personally. “I love Albert,” she said plaintively. “I can’t believe he’s done this. I miss him.” So the other night, Jesse the 14-year-old Pyrenees and I took our nightly constitutional down to Albert’s new hangout. He greeted us exactly as he once did at the hay barn. He and Jesse were always close. He followed us back up the block toward the house. Then he heard barking, and Albert was gone. A light came on. See, it never occurred to me that a new dog would trouble him. After Maggie died, we’d adopted an energetic young collie/Great Pyrenees mix called Aspen. Aspen neither herds nor guards. His ruling passion is playing chase. In a pinch, Aspen will be the chaser. Also in a pinch, alas, it appears that he will chase a cat — a pastime Albert evidently resents. I wish I knew what to do.

If you think breads are too time-consuming, try preparing a flammkuchen for a quick-cooking change of pace. Chef Tim Freed prepares this simple, yeast-free dough to be rolled into German flatbread. His recipe calls for a topping of crème fraiche, onion and bacon. “It’s not a recipe that’s taken hold here in America because of our love affair with pizza,” Freed told a cooking class at Illinois Valley Community College.

Was kocht? (That’s German for, “What’s cooking?”) Pork is king in Bavarian cuisine By Tom Collins

NEWSTRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER

Chef Tim Freed rolled out a bowl of dough, topped it with bacon and onion and into the oven it went. Making a pizza? Nope. This was a flammkuchen, or German flatbread. Don’t be embarrassed if you’ve never heard of it. Though a staple of German cooking and developed to be baked inside a wood-burning stove, flammkuchen didn’t migrate well from Deutschland. Freed has found the dish in just one German-American restaurant, where the wait staff said it’s not a big seller. “It’s not a recipe that’s taken hold here in America because of our love affair with pizza,” Freed told a class gathered at Illinois Valley Community College to learn about Bavarian cuisine, the food of southern Germany. Say the words “Bavarian food” and most people think pretzels, beer and plenty of pork. They aren’t wrong. Bavaria is steeped in traditional foods familiar to anyone who’s eaten and enjoyed German cuisine or celebrated Oktoberfest. Pork is indeed more prevalent than beef in Germany, where grazing land isn’t as plentiful as in the American West, for example. “They don’t have the land for grazing,” Freed explained, noting that pasture typically is reserved for dairy cows. “Steak is not a big thing in Germany. Veal is a baby cow so you don’t have to raise it as long.” Hogs require less space to cultivate and are in demand because many traditional Bavarian recipes call for wild boar, which are plentiful in the Black Forest. Similarly, the region has many lakes and streams, so freshwater fish, chiefly trout, make their way to Bavarian kitchens.

SHAW MEDIA PHOTO/ANNETTE BARR

Though the cuisine of southern Germany includes veal and freshwater fish, Bavarian dishes are heavy on bacon, which Chef Tim Freed prepares to sauté in butter, and other cuts from hogs. Germans cultivated a taste for wild boar, a denizen of the Black Forest, and livestock farmers prefer raising hogs to cattle because of Germany’s relative shortage of grazing lands. Freed showed his class how to make signature dishes such as spaetzle, pasta-like fare shaped like egg noodles in southern Germany and knobs or dumplings in the north. Whatever the shape, visitors will find spaetzle as common at German tables as French fries are at American ones. “It’s really the main side dish in Germany,” he said. Anyone daunted by the task of trying homemade noodles can rest easy; Freed recommends store-bought spaetzle as an alternative to the labor-intensive task of preparing homemade dumplings with a ricer or with a knife. Similarly, sauerkraut soup — a favored dish throughout all Germany — can be approximated with a slow cooker and shortcut ingredients such as prepared cream of mushroom and chicken soups. For dinner, try a quick-frying dish of veal cutlets with capers, finished with a demiglaze touched with evaporated milk.

Black Forest home fries 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled 1 pound bacon, cut into strips 2 inches long, 1/8 inch wide 2 cloves garlic, peeled and

chopped 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped ½ teaspoon dried marjoram freshly ground black pepper

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water and then season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are just tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain the potatoes, cool slightly, and cut into slices about ¼ inch thick. Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon and sauté until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to power towels to drain, reserving about 3 tablespoons of rendered fat in the pan. Heat the reserved fat over medium heat, add garlic and onion, and sauté until golden brown. (If you wish to add meat to the dish, toss it in at this point.) Toss in the bacon, potatoes and marjoram and season with salt and pepper. Cook the home fries, stirring frequently, until well-browned and the potatoes come together to form one big cake.

If time permits, treat your guests to Black Forest cake for dessert. It is a decadent mixture of chocolate and cherries. The Black Forest, the birthplace of the cuckoo clock, got its name from foliage so dense that sunlight has difficulty wriggling its way beneath the tree canopy. While Freed stuck mostly to traditional dishes found at German-American restaurants, he did challenge his class to try limburger, a cheese with a notorious smell. Freed assured his wary diners that limburger actually is quite tasty when brought to room temperature. While the cheese needs to be refrigerated, Freed said it’s imperative to set it out 35-40 minutes before serving, otherwise the sweet taste is muted and the odor overwhelms the senses.

1 (15-ounce) can carrots, drained 1 (15-ounce) can potatoes, drained 1 pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced 1 teaspoon dried dill weed 1 teaspoon minced garlic Salt and pepper, to taste

In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, blend the cream of mushroom and chicken soups, water and chicken broth. Stir in sauerkraut, onion, carrots, potatoes and sausage. Season with dill and garlic. Cover and cook on high for four hours, or low for up to eight hours. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.

For toppings: 1 cup Crème Fraiche 1 large sweet onion, quartered 2 tablespoons butter ¼ pound bacon Salt and pepper, to taste 1 clove garlic

Combine ingredients for crust. The dough should not be sticky. Slice onion into rings and sauté in butter until clear. (Do not caramelize.) Cook bacon until crisp. Finely chop garlic and add it with seasonings to the cream. Roll out the dough as thinly as possible and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread crème fraiche seasoning mixture on to the dough, then top with onions and sprinkle with bacon. Preheat oven to its highest setting (or around 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit) bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough has begun to create bubbles and you see nice browning. Serve with a green salad.

Veal cutlets with capers 4 veal cutlets, about 6 ounces each 2 tablespoons of lemon juice ½ teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper ½ teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon of vegetable oil 2 ounces capers, drained ¼ cup dry white wine 1 bay leaf 3 tablespoons of evaporated milk

Fry another 3 minutes. Remove cutlets and arrange on a preheated platter. Pour wine into the pan and scrape loose any brown particles from the bottom. Add bay leaf and simmer liquid 3 minutes. Remove bay leaf, blend in evaporated milk and adjust seasonings. Pour mixture over cutlets and serve.

Black Forest cake 2 1/8 cups flour 2 cups white sugar ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1½ teaspoons baking powder ¾ teaspoon baking soda ¾ teaspoon salt 3 eggs 1 cup milk

½ cup vegetable oil 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 (20-ounce) cans pitted sour cherries 1 cup white sugar ¼ cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 cups heavy whipping cream 1/3 cup confectioners sugar

In a large bowl combine flour, 2 cups sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Beat until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 35 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in centers come out clean. Cool layers in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Loosen edges and remove to racks to cool completely. Drain cherries, reserving ½ cup juice. Combine reserved juice, cherries, 1 cup sugar and cornstarch in a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool before using. Combine whipping cream and confectioner’s sugar in a chilled medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form.

Couple must work to restore intimacy Dear Harriette: My husband and I have been married for a long time, but we have not been close for years. We look good at a party, but we don’t share any type of intimacy. In part, it’s my fault. We were at each other’s throats some years back, and he was not nice to me at all. That’s when SENSE & I stopped being SENSITIVITY intimate with him. After a while, it Hariette Cole just started being habit that we UNIVERSAL weren’t romanUCLICK tic. Now, our son is about to go away to college. I worry that if things don’t change, we won’t have a reason to stay together. I can’t make it on my own ﬁnancially, but I also don’t know how to turn the romance back on. Do you have any suggestions? — Turn It On Dear Turn It On: You can’t have it

both ways. Either you work to repair your marriage, or you prepare for the potential of a life on your own. If your husband is interested in intimacy, figure out how to reignite your own interest — assuming you want to. Would the two of you consider going to counseling? You could choose marriage counseling or even sex counseling. You need to address the problem before you in an open and thoughtful way, which is why professional help may be in order. You have to decide what you want in your life. Staying with your husband for financial reasons while withholding intimacy doesn’t necessarily seem like a fair trade. Once your child is gone, you are probably right: He may no longer feel obliged to stick around. You need to answer the questions of what you want and what are you willing to do to have it. After that, the work begins. Dear Harriette: I got into a stupid fight with my sister the other day, and I realized that we had fallen back into childhood behavior. We had to make an agreement about something that we are doing for our mother, and the conversa-

tion — over text — got extremely testy and childish. When my sister, who is older, started digging in, I did, too, until we reached a standoﬀ, and our younger sister ended up stepping in and being the adult in the situation. How ridiculous. Can you recommend ways to avoid falling into childhood behavior patterns with siblings? This is getting old. — Stuck in the Past Dear Stuck In The Past: Next time you engage with your sister, pay attention to the conversation. If you feel things beginning to sink into old reactions, take a pause. You can stop communicating for a bit and take a few breaths to collect yourself. You can use a tactic that you would use with a colleague or friend. You should remind yourself that you have the power to stand up for yourself and not need to become unsettled by your sister’s behavior or your former way of responding to her. You can become the adult in the room. You can send questions to askharriette@harriettecole.com or c/o Andrews McMeel Syndication, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.

Princeton players make FND Team of the Week

By Brandon LaChance

NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTSWRITER

In the early stages of the first set of Monday’s non-conference match between Hall and Marquette in Spring Valley, the Lady Red Devils looked like the team with only four losses. Hall built a nine-point lead behind three kills from Meghan Bernardoni, a kill from Lily Orlandi and nine Lady Crusaders’

errors. After a timeout, Marquette refocused and came back for a 2521, 25-18 road victory. “They can out jump us. There is no doubt about that. All of their kids are taller and when they started coming down and grabbing and pushing the ball, we couldn’t stop that,” said Hall coach Demi Salazar about Hall losing the first set despite having a 12-3 lead. “That’s just too high

for us. It kind of messes up the defense. “Marquette did it well. They didn’t do anything wrong, we just needed to keep it away from those kids. We did in the beginning and our defense didn’t falter. I don’t know if we blew one serve-receive pass — I’ll have to watch — but I don’t remember one. That keeps you in the game or it could have been a blowout.” Marquette’s Grace Jeanblanc

and Aubrey McCallum stepped up as two of the Lady Crusaders Hall was trying to keep the ball from. Jeanblanc finished with a match-high 16 kills and two blocks, while McCallum tallied 10 kills. Emma Thomas played her part with 31 assists and Addie McConnaughhay had 20 digs. “I’m not even sure why, but we were just a little flat coming in,” See HALL Page B2

Rays force Game 5 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Willy Adames homered and made a sensational relay throw from shortstop, Tommy Pham also went deep and the Tampa Bay Rays chased Justin Verlander early in beating the Houston Astros 4-1 to even their AL Division Series at two games apiece. Ryan Yarbrough and five other pitchers combined on a six-hitter for Tampa Bay. Verlander, starting on short rest after dominating the wildcard Rays in Game 1, looked uncomfortable on the mound and was pulled in the fourth after giving up four runs. The best-of-five series shifts back to Houston for a decisive Game 5 on Thursday. Verlander, whose eight career ALDS victories are a major league record, yielded three runs in the first. Adames homered leading off the fourth to make it 4-0, and the Houston ace didn’t make it through the inning.

Sun stay alive in WNBA Finals UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Alyssa Thomas had 17 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds to help the Connecticut Sun stave off elimination and force a decisive Game 5 of the WNBA Finals with a 90-86 win over the Washington Mystics. The title will be decided Thursday night in Washington with a first-time champion crowned. Thomas fell just short of the first triple-double in Finals history. Jonquel Jones had 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Sun.

Former four-year La Salle-Peru volleyball player and current Plano coach Lisa Grandgeorge brought her Lady Reapers into A.J. Sellett Gymnasium to face her old school. The welcome the hosts gave her wasn’t exactly warm but somewhat expected as L-P rolled to a 25-5, 25-15 victory in an Interstate Eight Conference

match. “It’s awesome to come back here,” Grandgeorge said. “I told the kids as a player I never lost a match on this floor and as a coach I’m 0-2. It’ definitely hard when they know the caliber of team they are playing. I mean, L-P has a name and a target on their back for how good they are and the program that they have here is phenomenal. I give them credit, they came here and wanted to compete and wanted

the challenge. They got to see what that next level is and playing teams like this make you better.” The hitting barrage led by Emma Happ, Anna Quesse, Aubrey Garretson, Arika Richardson and Kamryn Olson helped the Lady Cavaliers live up to their reputation. “We played with a lot of energy and this team likes to have fun,” L-P coach Mark Haberkorn said. “They enjoy

the competition and they enjoy the band. They enjoy having fun. We hit well tonight and we had some great passes. We have the ability to put a ball down. It’s a team that works hard and has fun and that’s what it should be. Our setters did a good job controlling the game. Kamaryn Olson is going to Central Michigan to play D1 and Paige (Champlin) is a two-year starter, See LADY CAVS Page B2

The teams exchanged sideouts early with Happ earning a kill and Kenzie DeFosse serving an ace for L-P and Plano answering with a kill from Grace Stevens and an ace from Alyssa Smith. A kill from the Reapers’ Corrine Davis tied the game at 5-5 before the Lady Cavs pulled away on another Champlin service run with Olson controlling the net with a pair of kills and a block and a rocket spike from Richardson that extended L-P’s lead to 14-5. Abby Peruba served the ﬁnal two points for L-P with Olson hammering home the final point. “We like to keep it fun and light heated all the time in the small games and the big ones that are coming up,” Happ said. “We never know what is going to happen when we play so we try to have fun and enjoy what we’re doing and each other. “Our setters are awesome. We have Kamryn who is going D1 and I am getting to work with her and that’s exciting. She is a really smart setter and she helps me step up and play the way I can. Our front line is very good oﬀensively and tonight Arika and Quesse really came out and hit it really well.”

Marquette coach Mindy McConnaughhay said. “We were coming oﬀ of a big win against Winnebago (25-22, 25-23 on Monday). I don’t know if it was just a lot of emotions in a super close game. It was ugly to start. I want to give them credit because they bounced back. “We put a challenge to them and told them to focus and start playing our game. They did a good job. It was ugly and then we ﬁgured it out.” Hall hung with Marquette (20-4) in the second set as there were three ties early on and the Lady Cru never led by more than six points.

so both have a lot of experience and give our hitters the ball in good places.” The game began with the Lady Cavaliers earning a quick sideout on an Olson kill before she toed the service stripe and reeled off six points with help from kills by Happ, Richardson, and Quesse before Happ floated over a winner and Olson ended the run with an ace to put LP up 7-0. The teams exchanged points before Plano got a kill from Anna Gonzalez and the Reapers scored consecutive points, but Quesse hammered a drive down the line to regain serve for the Cavaliers. Champlin knew exactly what to do with it and served L-P to a five-point run featuring a tomahawk spike from Olson. Plano’s Morgan Kee stopped the run with a spike of her own. L-P regained the serve with the score 15-5. Hope Skoog fired an ace to get things going. Jacey Mertel came in to serve up 21-5 and closed out the set with the help of a pair of blocks from Garretson and another from Olson. The second set was a lot of the

They kept serving to her and I was happy with that because she did a good job.” Bernardoni led the Lady Red Devils with six kills, while Maddy Hultz had 11 digs and Gia Pozzi and Orlandi each had five assists. Salazar is happy with how his team is playing as the Lady Red Devils are making each opponent fight for wins instead of being an easy opponent. “I thought our kids moved well. There are a couple of attack areas that we hit in the beginning that we didn’t hit at the end,” Salazar said. “We have to make sure their defense spreads out.” Brandon LaChance can be reached at 220-6995, or blachance@shawmedia.com.

HAUNTED HISTORY The other NL Division Series gets settled in Atlanta — not necessarily

a good omen for the home team. Over the years, the city has been the place where opponents come to celebrate in October, and St. Louis certainly hopes to continue that trend. Atlanta has lost nine straight postseason rounds starting with a ﬁve-game setback to Arizona in the 2001 NLCS. The Braves are one series loss from equaling an ignominious record set by the Chicago Cubs, who dropped 10 postseason rounds in a row between 1908 and 2003. The pitching matchup will be a rematch of Game 2, when Atlanta’s Mike Foltynewicz outdueled Jack Flaherty of the Cardinals for a 3-0 victory.

Stocks move higher on trade hopes By Damian J. Troise AP BUSINESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks moved broadly higher in early trading this morning as investors grew more hopeful that the U.S. and China could make some progress in their latest round of trade negotiations. China has reportedly signaled that it is still open to some kind of deal, even if it only addresses some of the trade issues. Both sides had held oﬀ from further escalating the feud up until this week, when the U.S. blacklisted a group of Chinese technology companies over alleged human rights violations. Envoys from the U.S. and China are still expected to meet Thursday to start a 13th round of trade talks. Technology stocks, including Microsoft and Apple, led the gains. The sector has been suffering most of the week because of uncertainty over the upcoming trade talks. Many of the companies rely on China for revenue and their supply chains.

Charles “Frank” Alderson Who Passed Away 20 Years Ago Today October 9, 1999

“To Remember Me” The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly under four corners of a mattress in a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain moment, a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped. When that happens, do not attempt to install artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And dont call this my death bed. Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives. Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face, or love in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain. Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window. Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow man.

Stabbing nets only probation By Kim Shute

BUREAU-PUTNAM BUREAU CHIEF

PRINCETON — A Princeton man has pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after stabbing another man during a July fight. Anthony Lamb, 25, pleaded guilty before Judge Marc Bernabei to the class 3 felony Tuesday and was sentenced to 2½ years probation. State’s Attorney Geno Caffarini said Lamb and the victim got into an altercation in an alley outside the victim’s home because Lamb had allegedly been telling people the man was dealing drugs. In the scuffle, Lamb stabbed the victim in the torso — something he confessed to a third party before giving him the knife used in the stabbing. Lamb faced a possible sentence up to 2-5 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Due to a lack of prior criminal convictions, he was sentenced to probation. However, Caffarini said should Lamb violate any conditions of his probation, he will be resentenced to prison. He must serve the remainder of a 180-day custodial sentence in Bureau County Jail,.

Mendota teachers’ union, board could avoid strike after meeting By Craig Sterrett NEWS EDITOR

MENDOTA — A 5 p.m. meeting Thursday with a federal mediator has been scheduled for the teachers’ union and Mendota Elementary School board to settle a contract and possibly avoid an Oct. 16 strike. Tuesday, the teachers’ union needed to hear that the board indeed was willing to negotiate before they would agree to meet. On Monday, Mendota Education Association co-president Brandon Scheppers reiterated to the NewsTribune that they are ready to meet but he also made mention of the desire for the board to “rescind” the offer that the board told the press and public was “final” last Friday. Tuesday, Scheppers said the Illinois Education Association’s Uniserv director (who is providing information on protocol, etc.) would meet with the MEA Tuesday night. Prior to that meeting, he indicated that there were legal ramifications Friday when the board specified it had made a “final offer,” in addition to the difficulty in having negotiations when one side says its offer is final. “We cannot do anything until they rescind the idea that that was their final offer,” Scheppers said.

MORE DETAILS ARE at newstrib.com. The negotiation climate evidently changed sometime Tuesday. “After meeting last night with our UniServe Director I can confirm that we do indeed have a meeting scheduled with the board for Thursday at 5 p.m.,” Scheppers emailed this morning. “While the board stated on Friday 10/4 that they were issuing their ‘final offer’ to the association, we received an email yesterday from the district’s lawyer stating, ‘The answer is, no. the last offer of the board is not a final offer — ‘take it or leave it” and the board wants to meet on October 10 with the assistance of the mediator to attempt to reach a settlement that is acceptable to both parties.” The board on Tuesday stated: “We look forward to meeting, we will continue to negotiate in good faith, and hope to reach a settlement with the union.” In a press release Tuesday, attributed to board president Sean Pappas and board vice president Tim Pohl, the board said its “most recent offer” is a competitive salary and benefits package. “This offer costs nearly

$1.3 million in additional funding, for the 79 certified positions in the district. The cost of the current offer is nearly double that of the last three year contract that recently expired and the largest ever offered,” the board stated in a press release. “The board acknowledges that while there may be positive fund balances in some areas of the district budget, the district does have outstanding debt. The board doesn’t believe it is in the taxpayers’ best interest to have to issue additional debt in the future to cover regular operating expenses. “... The board does not feel it would be prudent to put the district back in an unstable situation by committing all of the reserves to salary raises. Again the board’s position is not that the teachers aren’t deserving of salary increases, it’s that in order to safeguard the financial future of the district it is not wise to meet the teachers’ demand for salary and TRS increases in year 1 of 10.99%, Year 2 increase of an additional 6.98% over the prior year, and year 3, another 6.71% over the prior year.” Craig Sterrett can be reached at (815) 2206935 or csterrett@ shawmedia.com.
