Residents: La Salle’s driver’s facility about to get busier

Strike!

Mendota Elementary teachers reject deal

Ottawa’s DMV will close and La Salle is closest option By Ali Braboy

NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

Area residents agree: The La Salle DMV is about to very busy when Ottawa-area residents can’t receive services at the Ottawa site. Tuesday, it was announced that the Ottawa Driver Services facility located at 404 Stevenson Road will permanently close at end of business day on Saturday because the property’s lease was not renewed by the owner. “They’re busy all the time,” said Miguel Guerrero of La Salle about La Salle’s DMV. He was there with his wife, Rosa, at the DMV Tuesday afternoon to get a new vehicle title. “Parking here is hard,” Rosa said. There are about 11 parking spots by the DMV, but there is a free city parking lot to the south of the DMV. “They’re busy all day, every day,” said Tom Ptak, a La Salle alderman who leases La Salle’s DMV to the state. He doesn’t think parking will be an issue because there is free city parking to the south of the DMV. No new location or timeline See DMV Page A3

Mendota elementary teachers Amy Brewer and Kelly Poremba picket in front of Northbrook School in Mendota this morning. After a seven-hour negotiation session, the school board, a federal mediator and the teachers union were unable to come to an agreement. There will be no school for Mendota Elementary students today and all school activities have been canceled until further notice.

76 union members walk out; 1,100 students affected By Tom Collins

NEWSTRIBUNE SENIOR REPORTER

MENDOTA — The Mendota teachers’ strike is on. Mendota Elementary teachers began picketing today after closed-door talks begun Tuesday afternoon and ended early this morning without a deal. The school district issued a statement around 1 a.m. today reporting that talks went past midnight and took a turn when the board offered a one-year agreement “honoring most components of the teachers’ recent request.” The Mendota Education Association agreed to the terms of year one but rejected a single-year agreement and pressed for a three-year contract. “The board is disappointed that the union was not open to the one-year agreement, an effort to keep our students in school and our staff at work,” the district said, adding later, “We are deeply saddened that the increased offer to our teachers was not enough to avoid a strike and preserve the educational and extracurricular

experiences for our students.” Mendota Education Association co-president Brandon Scheppers confirmed the proposal of one year deal, but said the union rejected it because it would simply kick the can down the road another year. “We want stability,” Scheppers said. “We want to focus on our students.” Promptly at 8:30 a.m. today, a group of teachers, most bundled against a stiff breeze, arrived outside Northbrook School, to picket along the sidewalks. There are about 1,100 kids affected from the three schools; there are 76-union members striking. Picket chairman Sarah Gehant expressed her disappointment that the late night talks failed to produce a contract. “We all held out hope,” Gehant said before choking up. She added tersely, “I’ll leave it at that.” Other picketers were at a loss for words, signaling they were instructed to defer comment to union leaders “Like our sign says,” Kelly Poremba said waiving her sign,

“we’d rather be teaching.” Collectively, the picketers’ body language suggested they don’t expect a resolution any time soon. This was the first Mendota strike since 2005, a conflict that spilled across 13 days, and the prevailing sentiment was this strike also could be prolonged. Optimism had been more abundant Tuesday evening when a crowd assembled outside the district office to rally for teachers. Despite a Spartan home game inside the Northbrook School gymnasium, the sidewalks outside were crowded with many onlookers — 160, by one estimate — clad in red and/or wearing wristbands expressing solidarity with the teachers. Veronica Becker was among the Mendota parents who walked with her children in support of a still-fluid proposal to boost pay and temper the teachers’ share of insurance premiums. Asked if she was concerned with a tax hike, particularly in light of Del Monte’s closing, Becker dismissed any talk of putting finances ahead of the teachers.

“No, it’s not a concern,” Becker said. “Education absolutely comes first and everyone should think that way.” That was music to the ears of teachers who were glad for the show of community support, even as they expressed uncertainty of a contract. “I’m very excited by the size of the crowd,” teacher Geina Parks observed gratefully, expressing her hope that district officials will note the crowd and yield some ground at the bargaining table. With the clock ticking, however, that looked like a less-thansure bet. Beth Rich is among the Mendota parents (she’s also a Peru teacher) with fingers tightly crossed but also less convinced of an 11th-hour deal. “I’m worried they won’t get a settlement,” Rich admitted Tuesday. Indeed, the two sides appeared close on one issue: A base increase. The board’s offer on Oct. 1 included a 4% base raise in the first year of the contract, followed See MENDOTA Page A4

Tax summaries show Pritzkers with more than $6 million in gross income By Jerry Nowicki

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS

nine-page summary of 2018 state and federal tax returns released by his campaign Tuesday. The governor’s campaign did not, however, release any tax return documentation regarding trust funds which benefit the Pritzkers. The only information about the trusts was contained

in a single sentence in the email which distributed the summary of personal tax returns. “According to the information provided by the trustees, in 2018, trusts benefiting J.B. Pritzker paid an additional $5.3 million in Illinois taxes at a rate of 6.45 percent and $29 million in fed-

eral taxes,� the campaign said in the email. The tax return summaries also lacked supporting forms which would have oered more information on some of the total revenue and deduction streams. The email from the Pritzker campaign touted the governor’s

After planting during April,

May and June, he’ll be harvesting well into November and possibly even into December. “The grain’s going to come out wet with a high percentage of moisture, which will involve high substantial drying costs,â€? he said. In a normal year, he’d be on the tail end of ďŹ nishing up harvesting. Hope Township farmer Steve Kunkel planted most of his crops in June, so his work is about a

month behind normal. Is he worried about a frost? “I was more worried earlier,� Kunkel said. “I think most of the crops might be all right now, for us. I know that people who planted later, there might be some concern.�

Road slide repair rolls along Disaster relief helps expedite South Bluff work By Craig Sterrett NEWS EDITOR

Hall, St. Bede compete to ‘fill the bus’ for Hall food pantry Saturday, students from Hall High School and St. Bede Academy will join forces in a friendly competition to see who can fill their bus first. Each school will have one of their mini-busses at Hy-Vee in Peru and collect food for Hall Township Food Pantry. The event will be from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Last summer was especially busy at the pantry, with a record amount of food being distributed. Students will collect food and/or funds to help restock depleted shelves. Approximately 380 families/1000 individuals “shop” at the pantry each month. Hall Township Food Pantry serves residents of Arlington, Bureau, Cherry, Dalzell, DePue, Hollowayville, Ladd, Seatonville and Spring Valley. The last census showed that 10,500 live in this area and about 1,000 come to the pantry monthly.

Army veterans know the term, “Hurry up and wait.” Peru Township road commissioner Steve Michelini did the opposite this summer after half of a curve on the Sandy Cosgrove Road on Peru’s South Bluff caved away and down the hillside. The township, through Illinois Department of Transportation, applied for disaster relief after La Salle County was included in a government disaster declaration in relation to relentless rains in May and early June. After all that waiting, Peru Township’s repair project is getting completed quickly. “It’s doing real good. We’re on schedule to finish Oct. 30,”

A bobcat levels dirt along the roadway along Peru’s South Bluff. Michelini said. A month ago, the most of the westbound lane was gone, with a jagged north edge of the road visible and then a 5- to 6-foot dropoff where the rest of the right lane and shoulder had been. “The road void has been replaced with rock and they’re doing storm (drains now),”

drains in that location, which had experienced similar but minor slides and collapses before. During all of the rains, the road slid away as water evidently washed under the road surface and bed and weakened and softened that, and runoff weakened the hillside, Michelini said. In addition, there are some springs in that area, he said. After the storm drains and shoulder are in, the project calls for guardrail. Michelini said the emergency repair comes at no direct cost to township taxpayers. Next year, he plans to apply for funds for a retaining wall farther down along the hillside as a bank stabilization precaution. That project, when it goes out for bid, should require either a 20% or 10% cost to the township.

Michelini said. It took about 2,000 tons of rock to rebuild the roadbed. Earth-moving equipment operated by project contractor C&H Excavating of Earlville created a new, level, wide base for the storm drains and piping and Craig Sterrett can be reached at (815) 220-6935 or csterrett@ shoulder.

Mendota FROM PAGE ONE

NEWSTRIBUNE PHOTO/SCOTT ANDERSON

Mendota Elementary teachers picket in front of Blackstone School Wednesday morning. A total of 77 faculty and staff members work in the school district.

NOT SEEING EYE-TO-EYE Board of education’s summary: Tuesday night, the board offered a one-year agreement honoring most components of the teachers’ recent request. The union agreed to the terms of year one, however, they rejected the offer as a single-year agreement, and wished to continue bargaining tonight, only with a three year contract. The board offer included three areas of increases: äA raise of 3% in year one and a 4% raise in year two and three to the base of all teacher salaries. äA raise in the district paid portion of the teacher’s TRS contribution (retirement) from 2%, to 3% in year one, 4% in year two, and 5% in year three. äAdditionally, an incremental raise in the step and lane movement on the salary schedule of 4.5% ($1,442) in year one, 4.356% ($1,452) in year two and 4.188% ($1,452) in year three. (Step is included for each year the teacher remains employed by the district, and the lane movement is for approved coursework completion; teachers may move both down and over in the matrix, receiving both raises in addition to the base raise, and TRS contribution increases ). äThe district offered to retain the 85% district-paid family and 90% paid single medical insurance benefit äThe components agreed upon up to this point by both parties during negotiations were to be retained. The value of the board’s proposal far exceeds all contract agreements ever reached in this district. The board’s proposal provides our teachers with a minimum $11,005 raise up to a $25,113 raise over the duration of the three year agreement. This raise is in addition to the generous $23,000 family medical and dental insurance package offered to each teacher, of which the district pays 85%; single insurance is district-paid at 90%. Also new to the pending contract agreement is an increase in the provided number of sick days, and a teachers’ tuition reimbursement option for continued education. “Unfortunately, the disruption of a strike will be felt throughout the community. We are deeply saddened that the increased offer to our teachers was not enough to avoid a strike and preserve the educational and extracurricular experiences for our students,” the board said. “The board members will continue to make themselves available to participate in negotiation discussions with the union.”

Union’s summary: The Association began the evening by making significant movement in all but one language proposal. The negotiating team offered these proposals with the intentions of trying to avoid a strike and bargain in good faith. The boards response to the MEA was to offer to only pay 50% of family insurance premiums for teachers hired at the start of the 2019-20 school year. This would mean that the 12 new teachers that were hired to start this school year as well as the three unfilled teaching positions would be left with either the option of single coverage or family insurance at 50% coverage, which would cost that employee more than $11,000 per year. The MEA offered another proposal, this time further reducing their Teacher Retirement System contribution. In that offer, the Association dropped the TRS proposal by 6 percentage points across the 3 years of the contract. This drop in TRS decreases the cost of the current MEA contract by more than $450,000. At one point during negotiations the board offered a one-year deal. In this deal, the board offered a 1% increase to TRS and a 3% increase to the base salary. All current TAs would remain intact and all other issues on the table would be dropped. The Association was willing to accept this offer for year 1 of the contract and continue working towards a deal for years 2 and 3. By the end of the meeting, the Association sent four offers, the last of which being a settlement offer, in an attempt to come to a resolution and divert a strike. The settlement offer met the board’s most recent proposal on both TRS contributions and base salary increases, assuming that this would alleviate the largest obstructions to a settlement. The settlement offer also included movement on the contribution to single insurance premiums in years 2 and 3 to offset the scale of the salary schedule. “It is regretful that the board was unwilling to come to an agreement on this matter. We are willing to meet at any time over the course of the upcoming strike days. How many days we are on strike is solely in the hands of the board. We hope that a resolution will be made swiftly so as not to disrupt our community and students,” the union said.

by 4.5% increases in the second and third years of the contract. But the two sides are further apart on individual increases — earned for years served and continuing education — and on teacher retirement system (TRS) contributions and contributions toward health care premiums. Some of those who rallied Tuesday expressed concern as much for the long-term impact of not buoying teacher salaries and benefits. Jeri Atherton, a retired Mendota High School teacher, warned that compensation has to be competitive or the quality of education will suffer. Atherton said the district had three unfilled posts

and that one job that was filled drew just two applicants. Societal changes have suppressed the number of teaching candidates and Mendota can’t compete for teachers unless the compensation improves. “Teachers are getting hard to find — period,” Atherton said. The rally drew other parents and teachers including a few from school districts to the south. Julie Jenkins and Brian Pett from the Peru and La Salle education associations, respectively, made it a point to show up and stand with their colleagues. “And I think we want better things for all the teachers in the area,” Pett said.

Public invited to discuss marijuana sales in Ottawa Resident says ‘revenue argument doesn’t hold’ By Brent Bader SHAW MEDIA

OTTAWA — An Ottawa resident shared his concerns with the City Council Tuesday about the sale of marijuana within city limits and others will have an opportunity to share their thoughts next month. During the council meeting, Plan Commissioner Todd Volker asked council members to reverse its ordinance to collect a 3% tax from marijuana sales. “Why not just ban it? And save us all from broken families, failing students, failing young people, negative perceptions of the town and of course car accidents,” Volker said. He said the “revenue argument doesn’t hold” when one considers what he views as an increased cost to public health and safety. Mayor Dan Aussem said the ordinance passed allows the City Council to collect on sales, which needs to be passed by a specific deadline, but it doesn’t mean the council supports the sale in city limits. He said a public workshop session between both the Plan Commission and the City Council is set for 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, to discuss what zoning ordinance, if any, should be required to sell marijuana. The public is invited to attend and share their thoughts. “We want to make sure people don’t think they can go to a storefront and open up,” Aussem said to media after the meeting. “There’s a lot of restrictions on the state level, they have to have a license and stuff, but we wanted to have an open discussion with the plan commission.” Naperville, Bolingbrook and Wheaton are a few

communities that have decided to ban marijuana sales. Ottawa passed an ordinance to collect a 3% tax from marijuana sales as did other local communities such as Marseilles, Sheridan and Peru. Streator’s City Council was less enthusiastic when asked by The Times in August with some council members opposed and some considering whether they supported sales within the city. They have not passed a marijuana tax ordinance but they’re also having a special meeting about the topic at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31. Aussem said he hasn’t heard concerns from the public regarding the ordinance until Volker emailed the City Council prior to the meeting. Volker also said he’ll be preparing a citizen petition. The city of Ottawa already has a medical marijuana dispensary, PharmaCannis, which will receive a recreational license as soon as it becomes legal on Jan. 1, 2020. “I don’t think there’s any way we can stop that but I’m willing to listen to the information others bring forward,” Aussem said. WHAT? The Ottawa City Council and Plan Commission will meet to discuss the marijuana sales in the city limits and discuss possible zoning ordinances WHERE AND WHEN? 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7 at City Hall WHY? The public can share their thoughts either in support of or against the sale of marijuana in Ottawa and learn more about the topic from city officials.

Yednock host Veteran Advisory Committee STREATOR — To help local veterans access resources available to them, state Rep. Lance Yednock (D-Ottawa) is creating a local Veteran Advisory Committee. The La Salle County Veterans Assistance Commission is partnering with Yednock on these events. Yednock is partnering with the La Salle County Veterans Assistance Commission to update Illinois Valley veterans on the benefits that are available to them, as well as assist them with critical property tax exemptions and more. Yednock also wants to hear directly from local veterans in an effort to create new legislation to further benefit them. Yednock’s Veteran Advisory Council Meetings are as follows and each will start at 6 p.m.: Wednesday, Nov. 20 at the Ottawa VFW located at 1501 La Salle St.

Wednesday, Jan. 22 at the La Salle VFW located at 2325 Donahue St. Yednock was also recently appointed to the Illinois Veterans Advisory Council, which is a bipartisan group of elected officials and veterans that meets quarterly to discuss the concerns of veterans across the state and to advise the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs on significant issues. “I want to thank Representative Yednock for hosting this event to not only honor our local service men and women, but to make sure each veteran knows their rights and the resources that are available to them,” said Steven Kreitzer, Superintendent of the La Salle County Veterans Assistance Commission. “We will work with our veterans and their families to ensure they are receiving all the benefits they have earned through their service.”

Fall driving can get risky when deer get frisky Autumn ushers in peak season for deer vs. vehicle crashes SPRINGFIELD — With the onset of autumn, the school year is in full swing, pumpkin lattes are steaming — and Illinois deer are feeling amorous. The Illinois Department of Transportation and Illinois Department of Natural Resources are reminding motorists to be vigilant during deer mating season as the animals become more active, especially in the early morning and evening hours. “As the risk of deer-vehicle

crashes peak during fall, drivers can help ensure they reach their destinations safely by remembering a few important tips,â€? said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Most importantly, don’t veer for deer. While your ďŹ rst instinct when facing a deer in the headlights may be to swerve, doing so could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and increase the severity of a crash.â€? Motorists are urged to consider the following safe driving tips during deer mating season: Ç Be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to deer crossing signs.

Ç Scan the sides of the road for eye shine - the reection of headlights in the eyes. Ç Slow down if you see deer. They travel in groups, so more are likely nearby. Ç Prepare for the unexpected. Deer can stop in the middle of the road or double back. Ç If a collision is inevitable, try to glance the vehicle o the deer and avoid swerving into the opposite lanes of traďŹƒc. In 2018, there were 15,636 motor vehicle crashes involving deer in Illinois. Of these, 14,998 resulted in damage to property or vehicles only, while 630 caused personal

injuries. Eight of the crashes were fatal. More than 40% of crashes involving deer in Illinois occurred in October, November and December, with November being the highest-risk month. Rural environments were the site of nearly 90% of all crashes involving deer, with more than 70% occurring at twilight or nighttime. For more information on how to claim a deer that was involved in a crash, visit http://bit.ly/ DeerClaim. To report possession of a deer killed in a deer-vehicle crash, ďŹ ll out the form at http://bit.ly/ DeerPossession.

The top 10 Illinois counties for crashes involving deer in 2018 were: 1. Cook 476 2. Peoria 391 3. Madison 377 4. Will 374 5. Sangamon 360 6. Fulton 331 7. Williamson 315 8. Rock Island 310 9. McHenry 308 10. Kane 307

Premature win on trade

Turn ‘brownfields’ into solar ‘brightfields’

By Hope Yen and Calvin Woodward ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a week of caustic rhetoric by President Donald Trump over Syria and the impeachment inquiry, and truth often took a beating. Seeking to justify pulling U.S. troops out of Syria, Trump spread false information about the total defeat of the Islamic State and misrepresented the scope of the original U.S. mission, saying it was only supposed to last “30 days.” He stepped up political attacks on his Democratic investigators, contradicting himself in the process. First he accused a Democratic lawmaker of concocting a dramatic account of a Trump phone call with Ukraine’s president without having seen a rough White House transcript of what was actually said in the conversation. Then he accused the same lawmaker of concocting his account only after reviewing the rough transcript and deciding it wasn’t interesting enough. On the economy, the president declared a premature victory for farmers over the weekend, incorrectly suggesting that China’s pledge to buy up to $50 billion in U.S. farm products was a signed, done deal. Here’s a review, also covering statements about Hunter Biden, judges and the auto industry: TRADE TRUMP: “The deal I just made with China is, by far, the greatest and biggest deal ever made for our Great Patriot Farmers in the history of our Country.” — tweet Saturday. TRUMP: “Start thinking about getting bigger tractors!” — tweet Saturday. THE FACTS: Not so fast. No final trade agreement has been reached. It’s true that U.S. and China declared a temporary truce in their 15-month trade war. As part of a cease-fire deal announced Friday, China agreed to buy up to $50 billion in U.S. farm products, while the Trump administration said it would suspend a tariff increase on $250 billion worth of Chinese imports that was set to take effect Tuesday. However, negotiators reached their tentative agreement only in principle. No documents have been signed. A final deal could still fall through, though Trump told reporters Friday he didn’t think that would happen. Many of the details remained to be worked out. Some of the thorniest issues — such as U.S. allegations that China forces foreign companies to hand over trade secrets — were dealt with only partially, or not at all, and will require further talks. “The president is acting as if a lot of Chinese concessions have been nailed down, and they just haven’t,” said Derek Scissors, a China specialist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. The administration still has in place tariffs on more than $360 billion worth of Chinese imports. Beijing has lashed back by taxing about $120 billion in U.S. goods, focusing on soybeans and other agricultural products.

Eventually, after pollution cleanup is complete, some of the land north of the Matthiessen & Hegeler Zinc site and west of the Little Vermilion River could be a candidate. A site would need at least six hours of full sun per day, and it helps to have transmission lines, highways or industrial areas nearby. Now, one group of solar arrays won’t generate nearly as much as a coal-fired plant or even a tiny fraction of a percentage of what nuclear power plants churn out. But it’s a start. And it’s hard to imagine better locations to try it.

It was the hug heard around the world Here’s one thing I know: when you hate somebody, really detest them, it eats you alive. So part of me understood perfectly why Brandt Jean asked permission to hug his brother’s killer, former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, during the Gene Lyons penalty NEWSPAPER phase of her ENTERPRISE well-publiASSOCIATION cized trial. Because after the jury found her guilty of murder, Jean needed to purge the poison from his soul. He also believed that his late brother, slain in his own apartment by a cop coming off a 14-hour shift who’d mistaken his place for hers, would have urged compassion. Described by everybody who knew him as an uncommonly gentle and loving person, Botham Jean had been that rarest of believers: a true Christian. Like many who witnessed it, I found Brandt Jean’s courtroom embrace of the 31-year-old blond killer very moving. Tears came to my eyes. Certainly not because she was white, I don’t believe. I had no such reaction when the African American victims of the Charleston church shootings

forgave the racist killer Dylan Roof. To hell with Dylan Roof. What I do remember thinking was basically this: black people in the South are amazing. Just amazing. There’s no people like them. I should probably stop right there. No matter what you say about race, somebody’s sure to be offended. But I’m not running for anything, so here goes. I’ve often thought that if black Southerners were more like my people, grudge-nurturing Irish Catholics raised from childhood to accept no slight, forgive no injury, and never, ever forget, a city like Charleston would resemble Belfast during “The Troubles” — all terrorist bombings, political assassinations, and neighborhoods divided into armed camps. The Belfast response to Dylan Roof’s crime would have been to firebomb his neighborhood. But black people tend to be more generous and forgiving than that. Jemar Tisby, an African American historian, sees it as a necessary defense mechanism. “There has been such a long history of injustice perpetrated against black people in the United States,” he told the Washington Post, “that if we didn’t forgive, we run the risk of being consumed by bitterness.” I’m sure that’s exactly right. But back to Amber Guyger and the remarkable family that forgave her. First, Guyger was undeniably

guilty, although the verdict surprised people accustomed to seeing cops walk. Indeed, Jean family attorney Benjamin Crump spoke of the verdict as “historic.” He said, “We hope that it sends the message to the police departments that your officers should be following the policies of de-escalation.” That strikes me as an exaggeration for two reasons. First, convictions are no longer so rare. According to the Dallas Morning News, Guyger’s the third Dallas County cop convicted of murder in the past two years. Second, the case involved no police brutality. It was more on the order of a tragic blunder. Guyger wasn’t on duty, although she was in uniform. No histrionics were required to make Botham Jean out to be an innocent victim. He was entirely so, a peaceable fellow sitting at home eating ice cream when a complete stranger walked in the door, yelled, and started shooting. Fatigued and distracted, Guyger had entered the wrong apartment in the dark — a mistake several defense witnesses said they’d made. Jean had left his door ajar, perhaps seeking fresh air. Prosecutors probed Guyger’s racial attitudes to little effect. Yes, she’d sent a joking message to a fellow cop about somebody owning a “racist dog,” texting “I hate everything and everyone but y’all,” i.e. fellow cops. There was also an unfunny joke about

Martin Luther King still being dead, 50 years after the fact. This is pretty standard cop humor. Regardless of ethnicity, I tell you what: You do a few years in a Dallas police uniform and see if you come out talking like a liberal arts professor. During her testimony, Guyger wept and admitted she’d panicked, shooting to kill. “I’m so sorry,” she said. “I never wanted to take an innocent person’s life ... I wish he was the one with the gun that killed me.” Most listeners believed she meant it. The jury sentenced her to 10 years, double the minimum sentence. Jurors thought more time would be unjustly punitive. Cops do hard time inside; friends are hard to find. Even Judge Tammy Kemp found herself moved by Guyger’s plight. After Brandt Jean’s extraordinary gesture, she offered the distraught murderer her personal Bible, and assured her of God’s love. To persons angered by her unprecedented gesture, she responded, “if you profess religious beliefs and you are going to follow them, I would hope that they not be situational and limited to one race only.” Jemar Tisby’s response: “I think black people are legitimately upset when we extend grace in the face of clear and blatant injustices, but we’re never extended that same grace in the public mind.” Amen to both, I say.

Stop fiddling with the food!

AP PHOTO

From avoiding unsalting to making sure you’re not working with a dull knife, there are certain mistakes that are pretty easy to avoid in the kitchen, once you know what to look out for. Others include not fiddling with the food while it cooks and not forgetting about carryover cooking.

And other mistakes that cooks everywhere will tend to make By Katie Workman

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

We all love getting kitchen tips, those little tricks we should be doing to make us better cooks. But sometimes it’s the things we should stop doing that matter. Here are some common kitchen mistakes, and how to easily correct them: 1. NOT READING THE RECIPE ALL THE WAY THROUGH Before you start cooking, make sure you a) have all the ingredients, b) think through

the timing of the steps and c) look up directions that might be confusing. This way, you don’t find yourself staring at the recipe in dismay when the words “marinate overnight” or “chill for at least four hours” pop up at the same moment your kids yell, “What’s for dinner?” 2. USING TOO SMALL A TOOL Ever try blending dough in too small a bowl? Transferring a casserole into a too-tight baking dish? Chopping a pound of spinach on a tiny cutting board? Using a paring knife to dismantle a squash? Bigger is mostly

better when it comes to kitchen prep. It means less mess, less overflow in the oven and, often, more safety. 3. NOT PREPPING INGREDIENTS As you get more comfortable in the kitchen, you will learn to multi-task, so you are mincing fresh herbs while the chopped onions are browning. But if you’re still getting your kitchen sea legs, have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you begin cooking. The French call this mis en place, or everything in its place. It means that when the recipe says,

“add onions, garlic and oregano to the pan,” the onions are chopped, the garlic is minced and the oregano leaves are pulled from the stem before you start cooking any of them. 4. WORKING WITH A DULL KNIFE Sharp knives are safer than dull ones that slip and slide. If you don’t have a knife-sharpening tool, or feel intimidated by the task, “There are lots of stores and services that can help you out,” says Alison Cayne, founder of Haven’s Kitchen cooking school in New York City. “You are not expected

to know how to sharpen yourself!” Many kitchen stores, like Williams-Sonoma or Sur la Table, will sharpen knives, and you can look for other places online. You might even be able to get your knives picked up and dropped off. 5. FIDDLING WITH THE FOOD AS IT COOKS “Leave it be!” says Cayne. “So many people feel the need to poke and stir and flip way too early. Let your meat char on the grill before trying to flip it. Let your broccoli sear in the pan See MISTAKES Page A8

Does outsourcing affect our personal connection to the food that we eat? By Melissa Rayworth

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

The growing options for outsourcing meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking can be called time-saving blessings or culture-destroying curses. In the end, they’re probably a complicated mix of both. The positive spin goes something like this: Assuming you can afford it, you’ll save precious time by clicking a few digital boxes and getting someone else to choose your vegetables and deliver your groceries. No time to plan a meal? An ever-expanding list of meal kit services including Blue Apron and HelloFresh will send you premeasured ingredients to whip

Big avocado earns family Guinness World Records honor WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) — A Hawaii family has won a place with the Guinness World Records for the world’s heaviest avocado. The Pokini family from the island of Maui received the Guinness certificate this week for the avocado weighing 5.6 pounds, The Maui News reported Thursday. The average avocado weighs about 6 ounces, according to Guinness officials. The Pokini family’s avocado tree is more than 10 years old and 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall. Mark Pokini planted it when his son was born, using a seed from his brother-in-law’s tree on Oahu island, he said.

Get a week’s worth of frozen meals delivered courtesy of Home Chef, Freshly or a host of other local and national services: It’s the modern version of a TV dinner, but it tastes better. And if hunger strikes and you need immediate gratification, you’re no longer stuck ordering a pizza or a few containers of takeout Chinese: Uber Eats, DoorDash and GrubHub stand ready to deliver anything you crave. But as people increasingly limit their involvement in meal prep, the question of how that affects our personal connection to food is debatable.

“As we exist at a greater distance from where these foods originated, we tend to forget — or now, perhaps not even learn — where things come from,” says Jason Seacat, a professor of psychology at Western New England University, who studies the relationship between people and food. “This growing disconnect not only contributes to a loss for humans, but also for our natural world because greater disconnect often equals less concern for the natural environments that produce the food.” Dana White, an associate professor and sports dietitian at Quinnipiac University, doesn’t see the situation as black and white: “It depends on what the baseline was before.”

If you’re someone who never cooks and eats out at fast food places all the time, ordering groceries or meal kits could be a step in the right direction But “if it’s taking you away from the farmer’s market and you stop putting the basil plant in your backyard,” White says, these services may do more harm than good. Mark Jenike, associate professor and chair of the department of anthropology at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, says food is both biological and cultural, and the approach to it needs to take both into account. “It fulfills biological needs but is imbued with meaning that See OUTSOURCE Page A8

A growing number of young adults have no idea how to scramble an egg or cook rice. White often sees “students that come to college and they have no idea how to feed themselves.

That could be a very appealing option.” If an hour that would’ve been spent driving to the grocery store and rushing through the aisles is instead spent purposefully simmering a sauce, a home cook could become more connected to their food.

before tossing.” Only when food has some sustained time up against direct heat will it brown and caramelize. 6. TAKING THE SUGGESTED COOKING TIME ON THE PACKAGE AS GOSPEL “When I cook pasta at home, I never follow the cooking times on the package. I generally cook it two minutes less. This way, after you strain it and it sits a little, it won’t overcook,” says Bill Telepan, executive chef at Oceana Restaurant in New York. “Even better,” he says, “if you put slightly undercooked pasta directly into

Sneeze and blow away from the group, even if you have to excuse yourself from a meeting or a dining table. Keep your area tidy, and be mindful of touching other people until after you clean your hands. Check in with your doctor to see if the prescription you are using is strong enough to manage your allergies. Sometimes a medication change can ward off allergy attacks.

the evening, I saw a man who I have known for at least 20 years. He walked up and smiled, and as he was saying hello, he grabbed my arm and made a comment that I looked good — even though I have put some meat on my bones. I didn’t quite know how to react to that. Yes, I have gained weight, but is that what somebody should say — pointing out that I have gotten bigger? He unnerved me for a minute. I didn’t say anything, but it bothered me. What do you do in a situation like that? — Half-Baked Compliment

Dear Harriette: I went to an event the other evening, dressed in my finest — or so I thought. When I arrived, several people, including the greeters at the front door, complimented me on my outfit. I appreciated that, especially since I haven’t been out for a while, and I have gained quite a bit of weight. Anyway, at a certain point during

Dear Half-Baked Compliment: To be fair, it’s best if people do not address weight at all in conversations. It is so hard to do so without stumbling into offensive language. But, in this man’s case, it seems that he meant to celebrate you, just as those people who didn’t know you were doing that day.

the sauce and let it simmer for a minute or two, it will flavor the pasta better.” 7. OVERCOOKING Remember to account for “carry-over cooking” — the fact that when you take food from the heat, it will continue to cook. Carry-over cooking is often discussed with meat, since meat’s internal temperature will continue to rise even after you pull it from a hot pan. Pork chops can go from just done and juicy to dry and tough. 8. CUTTING MEAT BEFORE IT’S HAD A CHANCE TO REST Allowing meat and poultry to sit for a while after it is removed from the stove, grill or oven not only lets it finish cooking

but ensures that the juices stay inside, where they belong. When meat cooks, its protein fibers contract, and if you cut into it right away they won’t have had a chance to relax and reabsorb the juices. This is why you might cut into a steak right off the grill and see it perfectly cooked to a beautiful rare or medium rare, and then a few minutes later it seems to have lost its rosy hue, and all its juices are on the cutting board. Let thick steaks rest 8 to 10 minutes. 9. GETTING DISTRACTED Dana Cowin, editor in chief of Food and Wine Magazine for over 20 years, and author of “Mastering My Mistakes in the Kitchen,” says that after working with nu-

merous chefs and experts, “Here’s what I learned NOT to do: Don’t get distracted. Don’t answer your email, help your kid with homework or catch up on the news. When you’re distracted, that’s when the pine nuts burn, the butter blackens, the caramel hardens, the chicken dries out, the meal gets ruined.” 10. SEASONING THE DISH ONLY ONCE Don’t just salt the onions you are sautéing for the sauce and call it a day. Conversely, don’t make the whole sauce recipe and add salt at the end. Add a bit of salt, and adjust other seasonings as you build the dish, tasting as you go, if possible.

IN BRIEF LeBron in middle of NBA-China rift EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — LeBron James has stepped into the spotlight of the nowstrained relationship between the NBA and China with his comments about the league executive who started the ongoing fallout with what James derided as a “misinformed” tweet. Politicians, human rights groups and ordinary fans on social media have criticized the outspoken superstar, questioning the motivation of James’ comments. James spoke out Monday, his seven-minute session with reporters putting him squarely in the center of the ongoing international schism. Houston general manager Daryl Morey was “not really educated on the situation,” James asserted, when he sent out that since-deleted Oct. 4 tweet showing support for Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests. On Tuesday, James acknowledged the criticism — and said he expected that it would be coming. “Obviously, it’s a tough situation that we’re all in right now, ... I think when an issue comes up, if you feel passionate about it or you feel like it’s something you want to talk about, then so be it,” James said. “I also don’t think that every issue should be everybody’s problem as well.”

VOLLEYBALL: LA SALLE-PERU DEF. ROCHELLE 25-11, 25-14

Lady Cavaliers get revenge on Hubs

Rams land Ramsey for two first-round picks LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey from the Jaguars on Tuesday night, ending the star cornerback’s tumultuous tenure in Jacksonville with a trade to the defending NFC champions. Jacksonville got first-round picks from the Rams in 2020 and 2021, along with a fourthround pick in 2021. Ramsey is one of the NFL’s elite defensive backs, earning two Pro Bowl selections and one first-team All-Pro nod in three seasons with Jaguars. The fifth overall pick in the 2016 draft has nine career interceptions along with innumerable conflicts with his coaches, the front office and the Jags’ opponents. One month after he requested a trade, Ramsey is off to the West Coast to join Aaron Donald on the Rams’ defense. Ramsey has missed the Jaguars’ last three games with an apparent back injury, but he returned to practice last week. He’ll probably need to play immediately with the Rams (3-3), who are without both of their starting cornerbacks as they head to Atlanta this weekend.

FOR SHAW MEDIA

Nearly a month ago, the La Salle-Peru volleyball team traveled to Rochelle and suffered its first loss of the season. On Tuesday, the highly motivated and focused Lady Cavaliers tended to business and dominated the Hubs 2511, 25-14 in an Interstate Eight Conference match in La Salle. “Honestly, we just wanted a little revenge because at Rochelle we came out flat and played really timid,” L-P senior

Kamryn Olson said. “Today we came out and really took charge and really wanted it more. I feel like that motivated us tonight.” Olson said the Lady Cavs are playing well with the postseason looming. “Paige (Champlin) has been setting me now for two years and she knows me and is my favorite setter so far,” Olson said. “It’s fun to set too, Emma (Happ) has been playing really hot lately in the middle and (Anna) Quesse’s really shaping up and coming on big on the outside, then we have Arika (Richardson) on the right

CLASS 1A SERENA REGIONAL: EARLVILLE 7, SERENA 0

Red Raiders take control early in semifinal victory By Brian Hoxsey SHAW MEDIA

SERENA — During last week’s Little Ten Conference Tournament semifinal match, lower-seeded Serena trailed topseed and eventual champion Earlville by just a goal at halftime before falling by three. The Huskers then played well in a loss to Indian Creek in the third-place game and again during a Saturday’s win over Somonauk in the opening game of the Class 1A Serena Regional. However, during the early moments of Tuesday’s rematch, the top-seeded Red Raiders scored three times on the way to a time-shortened 7-0 victory over the host and No. 7-seeded Huskers. “I think we woke up a sleeping giant,” Serena coach Dean DeRango said. Earlville (16-2) advances to Friday’s 4 p.m. championship match against today’s other semifinal pitting No. 4 NewarkSeneca against No. 6 Kewanee. Serena finishes the season at 5-15.

side who honestly has been killing it. We have really been coming together and I think we will be ready for postseason.” Olson started off the match with a five-point run that saw Happ, Kenzie Defosse and Quesse each register kills, and for good measure Olson added an ace to the blistering start. The teams then played even until Champlin took the serve and reeled off four points of her own, mainly by Champlin setting Olson for three thunderous kills with Richardson adding one as well.

Rochelle’s Maggie Duvall stopped the run with a kill, but L-P had built a 14-6 advantage. The squads again exchanged sideouts until Rochelle cut into the lead on Duval’s service with a kill from Emma Smith to bring the Hubs within six at 17-11. But the Lady Cavs got a sideout and sent Olson back to serve. Defosse began to assert herself with a block and a kill before Olson accounted for three of the final five points on aces to See LADY CAVS Page B3

NLCS GAME 4: NATIONALS 7, CARDINALS 4

Nats sweep, bring Series to D.C. for ďŹ rst time since ‘33 By Howard Fendrich AP SPORTS WRITER

WASHINGTON — As the Washington Nationals moved a party 86 years in the making from their ballpark’s inďŹ eld to a boozeďŹ lled clubhouse, manager Dave Martinez paused near the dugout and thrust the silver NL Championship Series trophy overhead, to the delight of loud, delirious fans still in the stands. Who would have thought this was possible ďŹ ve months ago, when the team was flailing, trade talk was swirling around Washington and folks ďŹ gured Martinez’s job was in jeopardy? From 19-31 during a mediocre May to the Fall Classic in an outstanding October — and the city’s ďŹ rst World Series appearance since 1933. Extending their stunning turnaround, the wild-card Nationals got RBIs from middle-of-the-order stars Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto in a seven-run ďŹ rst inning Tuesday night, and Patrick Corbin’s 12-strikeout performance plus a trio of relievers helped hold on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4 in Game 4 to complete a sweep in the NLCS. “Often, bumpy roads lead to beautiful places,â€? said Martinez, who underwent a heart procedure in

September, “and this is a beautiful place.â€? Right from the ďŹ rst inning Tuesday, most in a sellout crowd of 43,976 rose from their seats to applaud or yell or twirl their red towels, to chant “Let’s go, Nats!â€? and “M-V-P!â€? and various players’ names, enjoying every moment of that game-deciding outburst. And then, a couple of hours and several innings later, as Tanner Rainey, Sean Doolittle and Daniel Hudson were protecting a shrinking lead, those same spectators stood and shouted and reveled some more. “I just kept counting down: We’re 12 outs from the World Series. We’re nine outs from the World Series,â€? shortstop Trea Turner said. “Six. Three.â€? Now the Nationals get plenty of time to rest and set up their so-far terriďŹ c rotation before beginning the last series of the season against the Houston Astros or New York Yankees in a week. Houston leads the best-of-seven AL Championship Series 2-1 after winning Game 3 at New York 4-1 Tuesday. The Nationals became the fourth team to reach the World Series after being 12 games under .500. “We think we can compete with any team, any time,â€? NLCS MVP Howie

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina reacts after being hit by a pitch during the eighth inning of Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday in Washington D.C. The Nationals won 7-4 to sweep the Cardinals and advance to the World Series. Kendrick said. “People always get caught up in the things that are on paper, but the reality of it is you have to go out and play. Once we get out on the field, anything can happen.â€? The last time the World Series came to the nation’s capital, more than eight decades ago, the Washington Senators lost to the New York Giants in ďŹ ve games. Have to go even further back, to 1924, for the city’s lone baseball championship, when the Senators

defeated the Giants. The Senators eventually left, and the town didn’t have a major league team at all for more than three decades until the Montreal Expos — who were founded in 1969 and never made it to the World Series — moved to Washington in 2005. The Nationals had never managed to advance in the postseason since arriving, going 0-4 in the NLDS over the last seven years, including three Game 5 losses at home. First baseman Ryan Zimmerman, the Nationals’ ďŹ rst draft pick in Washington, was there for all of that heartache. “Sometimes,â€? he said, “you got to wait for good things.â€? This month alone, the Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL wild-card game after trailing 3-1 heading to the eighth, and eliminated the league-best Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the NL Division Series after trailing 3-1 heading to the eighth again. Then came this lopsided dismissal of the NL Central champion Cardinals, who

were outscored 20-6 in the series. “Of course, we could’ve played better,â€? said St. Louis ďŹ rst baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who was 1 for 16 with nine strikeouts in the NLCS, “but we didn’t.â€? Corbin, a left-handed pitcher signed with $140 million of the money that became available last offseason when Bryce Harper left town to join the Philadelphia Phillies, was not quite the equal of Washington’s other starters in the series. Still, he did become the ďŹ rst pitcher to strike out 10 batters in the ďŹ rst four innings of a postseason game and earned the win after allowing four runs in ďŹ ve innings. Then Martinez turned to his NL-worst bullpen, such a problem for so much of this season. After Rainey got three outs, and Doolittle got ďŹ ve, Hudson came in for his fourth save in four chances this postseason. It wasn’t easy, though: After replacing Doolittle with two outs in the eighth, Hudson hit his ďŹ rst batter and walked his second,

bringing pinch-hitter Matt Carpenter to the plate as the go-ahead run with the bases loaded. Carpenter, a career .481 batter with the bases full, grounded out to second baseman Brian Dozier, a defensive replacement who briey lost the ball before gathering it and throwing to ďŹ rst to end that inning. Hudson ďŹ nished things with a perfect ninth, getting Tommy Edman on a y ball to center ďŹ eld to end it, and red ďŹ reworks went o around the stadium. Corbin got this evening started with a 1-2-3 top of the ďŹ rst, striking out all three Cardinals with a high, 95 mph fastball, a real contrast to the o-speed stu Stephen Strasburg used for his own dozen Ks a night earlier. In the bottom half, Washington put up those seven runs, all charged to rookie Dakota Hudson, who lasted all of 15 pitches — doing to the Cardinals what they did in the previous round, when they scored 10 to open Game 5 of the NLDS against Atlanta. All the heartache of playoffs past seemed to dissipate during an evening that only briey was tense for the home team and its supporters: In the ďŹ fth, a juggled Cardinals lineup ďŹ nally awoke, scoring three runs — one more than the team managed to produce in Games 1-3 combined — to get within 7-4. With a man on second and the tying run in the on-deck circle, Corbin came through, striking out St. Louis’ 3-4 hitters, Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna, with sliders. After becoming comeback specialists, the Nationals never trailed against the Cardinals. And dating to the ďŹ nal week of the regular season, Washington has won 16 of its past 18 games. “We proved — and this doesn’t require advanced sabermetrics,â€? Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said, “you have to get a lead to win a game.â€?

that slipped just under the crossbar. Fries made it 2-0 a little more than five minutes later when he picked up an errant Serena clear and put a 15-yarder past Huskers’ keeper Ben Shugrue, who finished with five saves. Logan Wesson then scored the first of his two goals on the day off assists from Manny Gomez and Bryar Keller at the 29:41 mark to make it 3-0. “It is so important to get off to a good start and grab the early lead, especially in the postseason,” said Earlville coach Larry Heiden, whose club will play in a regional final for the fourth straight season. “We had just played Serena last week, and while we had a lot of shots and their keeper played

fantastic, we didn’t take advantage of the chances we had. We were up 1-0 at half, but it felt like a victory for them. “Serena had played well the last three games and were playing with a lot of confidence. Today we wanted to try and take (Serena’s confidence) away, and I felt we did that in the opening few minutes.” Earlville — which held a 24-7 advantage in total shots, including 14-3 on goal — netted three more tallies in the first half. Gomez scored at 27:27 off a helper by Wesson; defender Johann Rico put home a header off a Gomez corner kick at 2:36 and Wesson found the back of the net with 48 seconds to go before halftime off Gomez’s third assist. “It is amazing how calm we play when (Manny) is on the field,” said Heiden

finish off the set. “We played well in every facet tonight except for maybe blocking. We need to work on that,” L-P coach Mark Haberkorn said. “But the girls came out very focused and played a solid game. We executed very well tonight, I think by playing that tournament this weekend it helped our timing and our success. We served very well and with that you keep them out of their system. We attacked with our serving and spiking tonight. We were very aggressive on the net.”

Business Rochelle got off to a fast start in set two with a couple early points on Sylvia Hasz’s service before Olson was able to record a kill and get L-P on the board. The Hubs were able to build a 7-4 lead before the Lady Cavalier hitters came back to life. With Champlin serving and setting, the Lady Cavs got kills from Quesse and Olson to regain an 8-7 advantage. Things remained level until the Lady Cavs built an 18-13 lead on the strength of kills from Richardson and Quesse and strong serving from Happ, who contributed a back row kill

during the run. After a Rochelle sideout, L-P got a big kill from Aubrey Garretson to put the hosts up 19-14. From there, Champlin fired three aces, and following another Olson kill, Richardson ended the match in style with a big stuff block. “The kids are competitive all the time in practice against each other in all the drills as well, but I think having lost to them was extra incentive tonight,” Haberkorn said. “We have a lot of seniors and they only have three home matches left, so I think that also was a contributing factor.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks edged lower in early trading on Wall Street this morning as investors weighed the latest batch of corporate earnings and a weak report on retail sales. Surprisingly good earnings and hopeful forecasts were the main drivers of a market rally on Tuesday, but investors were less enthusiastic about the latest round of results. The Commerce Department also reported that retail sales dropped in September by the largest amount in seven months, raising concerns that consumer spending is being hurt by rising trade tensions. A broad slide in technology stocks pushed the market lower. Software maker Adobe fell 3.4% and Microsoft fell 1.1%. Utilities, consumer product makers and real estate companies also fell in the early going. General Motors rose 1% a day after CEO Mary Barra joined company negotiators.

We have played much of this season without him, but it just shows the type of player he is that we have such a different, confident mindset when he’s on the field.” The Red Raiders added the final goal of the contest with a little more than 27 minutes to go when Matt Kuter scored off a pass from Nate Sachse. Michael Sansone stopped all three shots he faced to record the shutout in net for Earlville. “They really took it to us ... from start to finish. We played them pretty tough CREDUT GIES GERE last week, and maybe we took them a little off Serena’s Ben Shugrue (No. 46) plucks a pass out of the air in guard, but not today,” front of Earlville’s Jeremy Gomez (No. 26) during the Red RaidDeRango said. ers’ 7-0 victory Tuesday in a Class 1A Serena Regional semifinal.

Jury selection begins in opioid trial despite last-minute request By Mark Gillispie and Geoff Mulvihill

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jury selection began Wednesday in the first federal trial over the opioid epidemic despite a last-minute request from lawyers to delay it because of news reports on a settlement offer. Two Ohio counties claim drug companies that made, distributed and sold prescription painkillers engaged in a deadly conspiracy that has inflicted massive damage on their communities and created a public nuisance that costs the counties hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The legal situation became a bit more complicated Wednesday as multiple defendants asked Judge Dan Polster to delay the trial after reports that the three big drug distributors were offering a total of $18 billion over 18 years to settle the suits set for trial and some 2,000 others. Two people with knowledge of the talks confirmed to The Associated Press that the offer had been made. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to disclose details from ongoing talks. The offer was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. The lawyers argued that jurors who read or saw any of the coverage would be tainted when learning of the massive amount of money possibly being discussed. Polster denied the motions and said he didn’t believe many of the potential jurors would have been exposed to the stories. He said he will

question members of the jury pool to determine whether they were aware of the coverage. “There’s no way to avoid this,” Polster said. “Something leaked out. I can’t control leaks and we’re going forward.” Polster said a delay could have pushed the trial into next year. “Only a fool would start a trial in Cleveland in January or February,” Polster said. If a settlement is reached for any of the defendants before or even during the trial, it would end their part of the case. But it’s not clear whether the trial would proceed against other companies if some settled. It’s expected to take up to three days for attorneys for Summit and Cuyahoga counties, home to Akron and Cleveland, and six drug companies to select a 12-person jury. Prospective jurors from nine northeast Ohio counties were mailed a 19-page questionnaire that asked whether there were people in their lives who used, abused or overdosed on opioids. Those with close connections to the crisis are expected to be excluded from serving on the jury. The pool does not include people from Summit County, which is a separate subdistrict in the 40-county Northern District of Ohio and has its own federal courthouse. Trial arguments are scheduled to begin Monday. The trial is considered a bellwether because it could help shape how future trials are conducted or possibly spur the global settlement sought by Polster.
