Lawmaker to push bill making Daylight Saving Time permanent Dem cites studies showing change is unhealthy
way, people in Illinois would move their clocks ahead one hour this coming spring, then never have to change them again. Manar (D-Bunker Hil) said in a Twitter post Wednesday he plans to push for passage of Senate Bill By Peter Hancock 533 when lawmakers return next CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS week for the final three days of the fall veto session. That bill If Sen. Andy Manar has his calls for setting clocks ahead
one hour to Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, March 8, 2020, then leaving the state on Central Daylight Time permanently. “So we’re going to give this a whirl next week in the #ILSenate. SB 533 would end the arbitrary time change & IL would join other states,” Manar tweeted. Manar said the idea for the bill came to him from a Carlinville
High School student. And in his tweet, he linked to a recen tNewsweek article that cited research that suggests the twiceyearly clock changes in most of the United States might have detrimental health impacts. Daylight Saving Time was used sporadically during the first half of the 20th century. The idea was to move one hour of daylight
from morning to evening in order to give people more daylight time after work or school. During Word War II, President Franklin Roosevelt instituted Daylight Saving Time year-round, calling it “War Time.” That ended after the Japanese surrender in August 1945 when the nation returned to “Peace Time.” See TIME Page A2
5 things to know about open enrollment Don’t wait too long to sign up for insurance, Medicare By Tom Collins and Ali Braboy NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTERS
Do you need health insurance? The time to get it is now. Nov. 1 marked the beginning of the “open enrollment period” when people can enroll in a health insurance plan for 2020. Through Dec. 15, people without health insurance can apply online or meet with a local insurance agent to discuss how to get coverage for themselves and their families. Here are five things to know about how it works. 1. KNOW WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR The term “open enrollment” is a confusing one because there are several products you can now sign up for. This happens to be the time of year to sign up for Medicare if you’re 65 or older and the enrollment cutoff for that is Dec. 7. Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru provides seniors a crash course in Medicare because even under that heading there are more products to choose from: There is the traditional government-run Medicare (including parts A, B, C and D) and then there is Medicare Advantage, which is private insurance companies offering products with different coverage, terms and conditions than traditional Medicare. Jane Friel, corporate compliance officer and managed care specialist for IVCH, said seniors need to look carefully at the differences of traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

Don and Donna Dinges of Sublette review their Medicare portfolio with Clay Begly, co-principal at Senior Watchdog in La Salle. Local employees who work with insurance shared five things to know about open enrollment, which has a deadline that is fast approaching. Educating yourself on these differences may save you from some unpleasant surprises because government-vs.-private is an either-or proposition. “You’re not allowed to have both,” Friel said. “You really need to know what the two packages offer because those roads will not intersect.” For those under 65, you’re looking at the Affordable Care Act (aka: Obamacare) and the cutoff there is Dec. 15.
2. DON’T BE INTIMIDATED There are many different insurance products to choose from, but Bart Hartauer, owner of Hartauer Insurance Agency in La Salle, said the application process is not particularly cumbersome and should not make people hesitant about inquiring. “It sounds more daunting than it is. It’s a very simple application process, though it is a little more intrusive if you’re applying for a subsidy.”
3. STICKER SHOCK? Health insurance premiums represent a significant portion of the average American’s budget. And the better your coverage, the more you can expect to pay. But Hartauer said people shouldn’t necessarily brace for sticker shock during the open enrollment period. Based on your household income, you might be eligible for a government subsidy that could significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Hartauer said subsidies are available for households with earnings of less than $45,000, but above the threshold for Medicaid. He recently sold a client a policy for $935 per month, but the client was eligible for a subsidy that reduced the out-of-pocket cost to just $72. 4. DON’T DELAY Hartauer said the unless a client comes in with a “qualifying See INSURANCE Page A7
Details of Princeton manhunt come out at bond hearing By Kim Shute BUREAU-PUTNAM BUREAU CHIEF
PRINCETON — Less than 24 hours after a day-long manhunt for a traffic stop fugitive, a Miami-based suspect appeared in front of a judge facing multiple charges. Carlos D. Estades, 49, is facing a Class 4 felony charge of aggravated assault along with Class A misdemeanor charges of resisting a peace officer and fleeing and attempting to elude. Assistant State’s Attorney
Carlos Estades is escorted by Bureau County deputies Amy Drozda and Cris Spiegel for a bond hearing. The Miami man was subject of a massive search after fleeing a traffic stop.
Daniel Anderson laid out a case for probable cause against the defendant, alleging a Tuesday afternoon traffic stop that started as a warning, quickly took a wrong turn. Anderson said state trooper John Peyton pulled over Estades about 3:15 p.m. for following too close. Estades claimed he and a passenger were traveling from Los Angeles, Calif., to New York in a rented Toyota Rav-4 for which he didn’t have rental papers. Estades, while sitting in See DETAILS Page A2

There is an ongoing investigation regarding the stolen car found in Princeton — more charges are possible. Citing an extreme flight risk — based on both the actions over the last 48 hours and the fact that Estades is a Dominican Republic citizen (though a U.S. resident) — Judge Marc Bernabei approved the state’s request to set bond at $200,000, 10 percent of which must be applied for his release. Should he bond out, he will be required to get court approval to leave the state. Estades is represented at this time by the Bureau County Public Defender’s Office. He will be arraigned Nov. 15.

The trooper wrestled the keys from him and attempted to remove him from the vehicle. During the struggle, he says Estades regained control of the keys and attempted to drive off with Peyton’s arm still in the vehicle. Peyton was pulled to safety by a fellow officer, and Estades escaped. A multi-agency search took place in the ensuing hours, but Estades wasn’t located. He was next reportedly seen on foot in Princeton Wednesday morning. After a few false leads, including a search at a farmhouse on Sixth Street where a second vehicle was found crashed, and a search of a house where it is believed he attempted break in, Estades eventually was tracked down under a car at Freedom

But it came back in 1966 when Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which included provisions for using Daylight Saving Time half the year, in order to standardize time across the country and avoid confusion in transportation and broadcasting industries. Under the current schedule, clocks are moved forward one hour, to Daylight Saving Time, at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, then moved back one hour, to Standard Time, the first Sunday in November.
Mountain Standard Time. A portion of northeast Arizona belonging to the Navajo Nation, whose territory also stretches into parts of Utah and New Mexico, still observes Daylight Saving Time. Before 2006, the state of Indiana, which is divided between the Eastern and Central time zones, did not observe Daylight Saving Time but some individual counties did, creating confusion about what time it was in any given part of the state. That prompted the Indiana Legislature to pass a bill enacting it statewide, regardless of time zones.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Daylight Saving Time reduces energy consumption because it reduces the need for household lighting and appliances. The agency also says it helps prevent traffic accidents and reduces crime because more people are traveling to and from work or school and conducting daily activities during daylight hours. But the 1966 law also gave states the authority to opt out. So far, Arizona is the only state among the 48 contiguous states to opt out of Daylight Saving Time, meaning clocks in most of that state are always set to

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats announced they will launch public impeachment hearings next week, intending to bring to life weeks of closed-door testimony and lay out a convincing narrative of presidential misconduct by Donald Trump. First to testify will be William Taylor, the top diplomat in Ukraine, who has relayed in private his understanding that there was a blatant quid pro quo with Trump holding up military aid to a U.S. ally facing threats from its giant neighbor Russia. That aid, at the heart of the impeachment inquiry, is alleged to have been held hostage until Ukraine agreed to investigate political foe Joe Biden and the idea, out of the mainstream of U.S. intelligence findings, that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 U.S. election. The testimony of Taylor a career envoy and war veteran with 50 years of service to the U.S., is what Democrats said Wednesday they want Americans to hear first. Taylor has told investigators about an “irregular
but also to learn firsthand about the facts of the president’s misconduct.” Along with Taylor, the public will hear from former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump fired after what she and others say was a smear campaign against her, and career State Department official George Kent. Taylor and Kent will appear Wednesday, Yovanovitch on Friday. To prepare for what’s ahead, the White House is beefing up its communications operations. Trump ally Pam Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida, and Tony Sayegh, a former Treasury Department spokesman, are expected to join the White House team to work on “proactive impeachment messaging,” a senior administration official told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity. The Trump administration ordered officials not to participate in the House inquiry. But lawmakers have spent weeks hearing from current and former government witnesses, largely from the State Department, as one official after another has relayed his or her understanding of events.

channel” that the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, set up for Ukraine diplomacy, and how the White House was holding up the military aid, according to a transcript of his closed-door interview released Wednesday. “That was my clear understanding, security assistance money would not come until the president committed to pursue the investigation,” Taylor said. He was asked if he was aware that “quid pro quo” meant “this for that.” “I am,” he replied. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and Republicans largely dismiss the impeachment inquiry, now into its second month, as a sham. But Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee leading the probe, said that with two days of hearings next week Americans will have a chance to decide for themselves. “The most important facts are largely not contested,” the California Democrat said. “Those open hearings will be an opportunity for the American people to evaluate the witnesses for themselves, to make their own determinations about the credibility of the witnesses,

BRIEFS Wind energy pays off in big way for Ohio schools and taxpayers OHIO — The Walnut Ridge Wind Farm was commissioned in January 2019, which increases the total taxable value of both the Ohio grade school and Ohio high school districts by between 18 percent and 20 percent. As a result, Ohio grade school board will seek to capture 11.37% more in local property tax revenue, but can levy taxes at a rate less than or equal to this year’s rate. Ohio high school board will seek 14.44% more than last year’s actual levy, while keeping tax rates the same or lowering them. Both districts need to host truth-in-taxation hearings (the grade school board Nov. 19, high school, Nov. 18) because they’ll receive increases of more than 5 percent in local tax revenue.

He will appear Nov. 14 for ruling on another motion by prosecutors on whether his past criminal history can be introduced at trial. If so, past convictions can be brought up at trial only if Mentgen takes the stand in his own defense. Hollerich said he was amenable to the change of date, as long as both sides have their motions in order in a timely manner. “I just want to decide whatever motions are necessary before trial,” he said. “I don’t have a lot of information without getting into them, but I hope that more information will be available before the next appearance.”

Trade hopes push US stocks The S&P 500 is heading for its second record-setting day this week.
By Damian J. Troise ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose broadly in early trading on Wall Street this morning, pushing major indexes toward another set of records, after China said it agreed with the U.S. on a gradual pullback on tariffs if talks progress.

OPEN FORUM Message to veterans: There are benefits waiting for you There’s been a lot of talk lately about how to support our veterans, but there’s been less talk about how veterans can support themselves. Military families know the value of hard work, and they aren’t looking for a handout. Yet, so many veterans who prepaid for benefits with their military service are now leaving them on the table. As a veteran, I work for the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs to help my brothers and sisters in arms get their benefits. If you are a veteran or a veteran’s family member, I’d hate to think you aren’t taking advantage of what you’ve earned. Please visit my office at 1015 O’Conor Ave., La Salle, IL 61301 or contact me at (815) 410-8374. You may also go to www.illinois.gov/veterans to locate one of our other locations. If you are worried about taking away from someone you believe deserves the benefit more than you, rest assured: The benefits you receive do not take away from anyone else, nor will anyone else receive anything that takes away from you. So please accept the gratitude our nation wants to give you. You prepaid for these benefits with your service, now let our grateful nation pay you back. Tyler Janiak, Veterans Service Officer Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, La Salle
Cutting the cord: I still hear your calls Like many people, I was fed up with paying a monthly cable bill for 200 channels that I will never watch. If I made a list of all the hit shows I have never seen — all the cage-fighting tournaments I have never watched, all the shopping channels Jim Mullen I’ve clicked through on NEWSPAPER my way to ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION find something ever-soslightly more entertaining — it would be as thick as a phone book. Whoops! Showing my age. My editor just asked me, “What’s a phone book?” So I canceled my huge cable contract and subscribed to a streaming service for less than half the price. It gives me the major local networks plus a slew of basic “cable” channels, and it records shows and movies for free. Best of all, it doesn’t
charge me box rental fees, box rental taxes, fees for sending me a paper bill, executive sexual harassment settlement fees, Washington lobbyist fees or any of the other bogus charges cable TV is famous for. The ones that turn your “only $60 a month!” into a $99 bill. And, oh yeah: I can cancel anytime, no contract. It was like going from an old landline phone to a smartphone overnight. Still, it doesn’t have everything. I couldn’t see all the new movies — the ones that show up on Netflix and HBO about two months after they flop at the movie theater. Why rush out to go see a movie on the big screen, when you can just wait a few weeks and see it on your own big screen at home? And at home, you don’t even have to turn off your cellphone, or miss anything when you need to make a nature call. Just put it on pause. Plus, you’re saving the price of movie tickets, popcorn and gas. So I added Netflix and HBO. But even those don’t have everything, so I subscribed to another service. And after a few
weeks, yet another one. Why not? After all, the subscriptions were still much less than my old cable bill. For some reason, no one seems to carry PBS, so add another $10 a month. But I’m still saving money. If I subscribed to the top seven streaming services, it would cost me about $80 a month, which would still be less than my monthly cable bill. But now I’m back to paying for a lot of shows I will never watch. Every day, I seem to spend more time searching for shows to watch than I spend watching shows. Am I that picky? I don’t think so — after all, I just wasted an hour watching videos of a cute Japanese cat who runs and hides in boxes on YouTube. If that doesn’t prove I will watch almost anything, I don’t know what does. There is a school of thought that having more choices is almost worse than having too few. Were we happier when there were only three channels on television? Were we happier when the only news on TV was the half-hour nightly broadcast?
Were we happier before video recording, when you had to be at home at a certain time to watch your favorite show? Were we happier when there was only one TV in the whole house — a huge console that sat in the living room? Were we better off when the family had to vote on which show we would all watch together? It’s as if for every new thing, every new technology, we give up something old, whether it was valuable or not. And the bad news is that I’m not really saving any money with all my changes. I had to upgrade my internet connection to be able to stream all these additional services. And many of the new movies I want to see are available, but only for a price over and above the monthly fee. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that soon, anything you really, really want to watch — the Olympics, the playoffs for your favorite sport, a special awards show or event — will cost you extra. In fact, it’s already started.

We don’t check on each other anymore Chances are you know at least one functioning alcoholic. They work all week and then take the weekends off to drink themselves into a stupor, starting all over again Monday morning in a vicious cycle that goes on until someTHE WRITE thing breaks TEAM – usually their liver, Hope sometimes their family’s Rutgens patience. SHAW MEDIA But why does the number of functioning alcoholics seem to keep going up every year? I think it has something to do with the ratio of churches to bars in La
Salle County. La Salle County consists of 37 townships. In the interest of conserving space, we’re just going to focus on the bigger cities within La Salle County, including Earlville, La Salle, Marseilles, Mendota, Oglesby, Ottawa, and Peru. For kicks and giggles I’m also including Spring Valley since it’s so close to La Salle-Peru. Out of those towns, there are more than 135 places that you can get a drink on a Friday night — places that you can go and waste an entire evening (and your entire paycheck) in one night. On Sunday morning, however, (or whenever your religious service starts), there are only around 120 places to worship. And while these numbers are closer than I assumed they would be, how many people congregate in bars instead of congregations? How many people worship at the porcelain
throne every Friday night instead of worshiping at an altar on Sunday morning? And why have we come to accept that as a community? No one looks twice at the guys sitting at the slot machines for hours, or at the girls drinking loudly with their friends every weekend. We don’t check on each other anymore. That’s what churches used to do. They used to be a place where everyone could go on Sundays and see how their neighbor was doing. Sure, that sometimes lead to more gossip than it did anything else, but it was an overall friendlier environment than the neon lit bars today. Most people are friendly in bars, but that’s not friendship or love. We need to start caring for our neighbors again. You don’t have to find religion to do that, Lord knows religion has created its own fair share of alcoholics. Perhaps try congregating in a
place that doesn’t serve alcohol. Ask your neighbor out to coffee, talk about your day with a friend or loved one. Indulging in alcohol, in moderation, isn’t a bad thing; it just shouldn’t be a hobby you indulge in all of the time. And you might be saying, “This article isn’t for me, I don’t drink all that much,” and you might be right, this article might not be for you. But most alcoholics don’t think they have a drinking problem either. And if we all knew how to drink in moderation, I wouldn’t be writing this article, and you wouldn’t be reading it.

‘Trauma really is a public health crisis’ US health officials link childhood trauma to adult illness By Mike Stobbe
AP MEDICAL WRITER

Frozen shoulder will thaw out eventually Dear Doctor: One of the moms in our car pool had to drop out because she has a frozen shoulder. I’ve never heard of that. What is it, and how did she get it? Dear Reader: Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a common and painful condition in which the connective tissues around the shoulder joint gradually become thickened and inflamed. It’s more common in women than men, and it more commonly occurs in people from ages 40 to 60. With a frozen shoulder, previously simple activities like raising your arms to slip into a T-shirt or even reaching up to scratch your head become very difficult. To understand the condition, let’s start with the shoulder joint itself. It’s a ball-and-socket joint, which means that the rounded head of the humerus, which is the upper arm bone, fits into a cuplike structure located on the scapula, or shoulder blade. Cartilage, which is smooth and elastic, covers the surfaces of the bones where they meet. It acts as a shock absorber, and its sleek surface helps to reduce friction and smooth movement. Meanwhile, strong ligaments that attach to the “ball” of the humerus and to the shallow “socket” on the scapula hold the parts of the shoulder joint in place. Taken together, this allows for a wide range of motion. In fact, the ball-and-socket joint offers the most freedom of movement of any type of joint in the body. When inflammation causes the connective tissues within the shoulder joint to become thick and stiff, the capsule tightens. In some cases, scar tissue forms, which further limits range of motion. All of this makes any kind of movement within the joint, whether active or passive, both difficult and painful. Frozen shoulder can develop when injury, trauma or surgery have forced long-term immobility. It is also seen more often in people at risk of developing diabetes, and those with chronic inflammatory arthritis. The condition begins with localized discomfort or pain, which gradually increases over time. It can take from two to 10 months for a frozen shoulder to develop. During the “frozen” stage of the condition, which can also last for months, the joint becomes difficult, if not impossible, to move. The good news is that during this time, pain from the condition may decrease. Eventually, range of motion begins to return to the joint. In order to eliminate other potential causes, imaging tests like an MRI or an X-ray may also be used. Treatment focuses on alleviating pain and recovering range of motion. This entails the use of various anti-inflammatory medications, and possibly injections of corticosteroids into the joint capsule. Patients are also taught exercises to stretch the joint capsule, and when recovery begins, strengthening exercises. Infrequently, surgery may be required. Most cases of frozen shoulder resolve within a year or two. Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and associate professor of medicine at UCLA Health.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials estimate that millions of cases of heart disease and other illnesses are linked to abuse and other physical and psychological harm suffered early in life. In a report released this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tried to estimate the impact of harmful childhood experiences on health in adulthood. Health officials acknowledged the study does not prove that these experiences directly cause certain illnesses. And they were not able to rule out other possible factors, such as the stress caused by financial family problems. But the link is strong, and is bolstered by many other studies, said Jim Mercy, who oversees the CDC’s violence prevention programs. “There’s a lot of evidence connecting these things,” and it’s become clear that the more harmful incidents a child suffers, the more likely their health suffers later, he said. For at least two decades, researchers have been looking at how suffering or witnessing traumatic events as a child affects the likelihood of physical injury or illness later in life. Researchers say such stressful experiences can affect how the body develops, and can also put a child on a path to smoking, drug use, and other unhealthy behaviors. The topic has been getting more attention in recent years from public health officials. California’s recently-appointed surgeon general has made childhood trauma and what is known as toxic stress a priority. CDC has been involved in previous research on the topic, but Tuesday’s report is the agency’s first on the national impact of the problem. Researchers are increasingly

It’s like anything else: Don’t wait until the last minute.” 5.

Sandra Brown, principal with Senior Watchdog, Inc., certified Medicare insurance specialists in La Salle. She explained that open enrollment has nothing to do with Medicare supplements, which can be changed throughout the year. Open enrollment for Medicare deals with drug plans. “People need to understand that formularies change with their drug plans,” she said, explaining that someone could have a formulary that’s completely different with the same company then what it was the prior year. She said a woman came in last year who had the same drug company for two years, and had the client not come in to Senior Watchdogs, she would have paid NEWSTRIBUNE PHOTO/SCOTT ANDERSON $5,100 a year more out of pocket Watchdog Inc. in La Salle suggests using the same drug company Sandra Brown, principal with SeniorILLINOIS VALLEY RTHOPEDICS she had been using since the for- working with agents who know aboutOMedicare changes when it comes to mularies had changed. open enrollment.

University taking PB&J as payment for parking tickets ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — What a lip-smacking offer! Anyone with unpaid parking fines at the University of Alaska Anchorage campus has the option to reduce or cover the cost of their tickets with peanut butter and jelly. KTUU-TV reported the university would take donations for their annual payment tradition until Nov. 8 to help combat student hunger. Officials say the food goes to students in need.
University officials say each person could use PB&J payments for two citations issued within the past 45 days. Officials say two 16ounce jars offer a $10 credit, three jars offer a $35 credit and five jars offer a $60 credit. Officials say any unopened commercially produced nut butter-almond, cashew, peanut butter or any flavor jam, jelly, marmalade or preserves would be accepted.

Dear Shut Your Mouth: Tread carefully
Try something new with uncommonly delicious (and somewhat ugly) fruit As I savor one of my just-picked American persimmons (Diospyros virginiana), I’m reminded how this fruit — and a few other delectable fruits — would never sell. Why not? Because they’re ugly! Although the persimmons hung from the branches as handsome, plump, orange orbs up to a few weeks ago, by now they have shriveled and their skins are darkening to brown and black. The texture and flavor have likewise changed. They once were like dried apricots that have been plumped up in water and then dipped in honey with a dash of spice. Now, they’ve become mushier, with some additional caramel flavor. They’re delicious now in a new way. These fruits are not just run-ofthe-mill persimmon seedlings, which often are unpleasantly puckery, but one of two dozen or so named varieties selected for their flavor and absence of puckeriness. My particular favorite is called Szukis. UGLY FRUIT (TO SOME), RICH FLAVOR Moving on to another unmarketable but delectable fruit, we come to medlar (Mesplilus germanica). When ready to harvest, the golf-ball-size fruits resemble small apples, except they are russeted and their calyx ends (opposite the stem ends) are flared open. This latter characteristic earned medlar the nickname “open-arse fruit” among medieval writers such as Chaucer. The fruit is no beauty, having been described as “a crabby-looking, brownish-green, truncated, little spheroid of unsympathetic appearance.” And things get worse — looks-wise — for medlar from now on. The fruit is rock-hard and inedible at harvest and must be allowed to blet, or soften, before being eaten. I blet my fruits by putting them on the cool shelf below my north-facing kitchen window.

You won’t find fruits like persimmons, medlar (pictured) and musk strawberries at most grocery stores. They’re too ugly for commercial use. But they’re delicious. And easy to grow in the backyard. After about two weeks, the hard, white flesh morphs into a brown mush that’s repulsive to look at but has a refreshing briskness with winy overtones, like old-fashioned applesauce laced with cinnamon. None other than Charlemagne included medlar among the mandatory plants for his estates. THE BEST TASTING STRAWBERRY? Let’s look at and taste one more unmarketable fruit, the musk strawberry (Fragaria moschata). Like medlar, these fruits were popular hundreds of years ago. Musk strawberries fell out of favor when the larger and more beautiful modern, garden strawberries came into being. (Modern, garden strawberries originated as chance hybrids, in a European garden, of east coast and west coast American strawberry species.) When ripe, musk strawberries have little visual appeal. Fruits are small, soft, and colored a blotchy mix of pink, red and purple, with some parts remaining white. Ah, but the taste is heavenly. PRETTY PLANTS, ALL Despite being ugly fruits unsuited for travel further than arm’s length, American persimmons, medlars and musk strawberries are borne on handsome plants.

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — A popular southern Illinois college bar, the Pinch Penny Pub, will close after nearly 50 years in Carbondale. Owner Jimmy Karayiannis says he’s selling the property along with the Copper Dragon, a brewery. He tells the Southern Illinoisan that staff were informed Sunday. Karayiannis says the sale was a tough decision. But he says, “It’s about moving on with life and doing something different.” The last drinks will be served by the end of the year. Karayiannis’ father, Frank, an immigrant from Greece, opened Pinch Penny Pub in 1972. Copper Dragon opened as Carbondale’s first brewery in the late 1990s.

Neptunes, REM up for Songwriters Hall By Mesfin Fekadu AP MUSIC WRITER
NEW YORK (AP) —The Neptunes, the creative, innovative production-songwriting duo of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo who shaped pop and urban radio from the ‘90s well into the 2000s thanks to crafting hits for Britney Spears, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Usher and Beyoncé, are nominated for the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame. Joining the Neptunes as nominees for the 2020 class are other visionaries who have carved out their own space in the music universe: the rap icons Outkast and rock pioneers R.E.M., who announced they had called it quits in 2011. Twenty-four acts are in contention for the 2020 class. Performing nominees include Patti Smith, Journey, Vince Gill, Gloria Estefan, the Isley Brothers, former Eurythmics members Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, Mike Love, Bread’s David Gates and Steve Miller. Mariah Carey, who co-wrote 17 of her 18 No. 1 hits and earned her first Songwriters Hall nomination last year, is up for the prize again. Non-performing solo nominees are William “Mickey” Stevenson, Rick Nowels, Sonny Curtis, Jerry Fuller, Tony Macaulay, Bob McDill and Roger Nichols. Non-performing songwriting duos nominated include the late Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, L. Russell Brown and the late Irwin Levine, and Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan. Songwriters are eligible for induction after writing hit songs for at least 20 years. Six songwriters, or songwriting groups, will be officially inducted at the Hall’s 51st annual Induction & Awards Gala in New York on June 11,

IN BRIEF Strasburg, Soto share postseason MVP from New York writers NEW YORK (AP) — Washington pitcher Stephen Strasburg and Nationals outfielder Juan Soto have been selected as joint winners of the Babe Ruth award as postseason MVP in voting by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. They will be honored at the chapter’s 97th annual dinner on Jan. 25 in Manhattan. Mets rookie Pete Alonso was named recipient of the Joe DiMaggio Toast of the Town award and the Ben Epstein/Dan Castellano Good Guy award on Wednesday. The Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu was selected New York player of the year. Mets broadcaster Ron Darling, who returned to the TV booth in June following treatment for thyroid cancer, will receive the Arthur and Milton Richman You Gotta Have Heart award.

Miami tops Ohio takes control in MAC East ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Sam Sloman matched his career-best 53-yard field goal with 3:48 to play, Ryan McWood and Kameron Butler combined a clutch sack and Miami (Ohio) edged rival Ohio 24-21 on Wednesday. The game marked the official 150th anniversary of the first collegiate game and was close all the way. The game was tied at 7 at halftime and the teams combined for 24 points in the fourth quarter.

‘Best way to go out’
Alonso, Álvarez honored as top rookies by Baseball Digest NEW YORK (AP) — Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and Houston Astros slugger Yordan Álvarez have been picked as this year’s top rookies by Baseball Digest. Alonso was a unanimous choice in the National League, and Álvarez received six of seven first-place votes to take the AL honor. The other one went to Eloy Jiménez of the Chicago White Sox. Alonso set a rookie record with 53 home runs for New York, becoming the first rookie to lead the majors outright in homers. He finished the season with 120 RBIs and a .941 OPS. Álvarez made his debut June 9 and batted .313 with 27 homers, 78 RBIs and a 1.067 OPS in only 87 games for the American League champions.

Spirited Lady Cavs give strong effort but fall to defending state champions By Kevin Chlum

METAMORA — There were some misty eyes among the La Salle-Peru volleyball team’s 10 seniors, but there also were plenty of smiles. The Lady Cavalier seniors saw their careers end with a 2521, 25-19 loss to defending state champion Sterling in the Class 3A Metamora Sectional final Wednesday, but afterwards there were hugs and pictures as they celebrated the end of a successful four-year run. “Our spirits are high,” L-P senior Emma Happ said. “We played our best and that’s the best way to go out. I played with these girls for the longest time. We’re happy we could go our playing like that. “It was amazing playing at L-P for four years. I couldn’t have asked for better teammates or coaches to be with for four years.” The Lady Cavs hung right with the Golden Warriors throughout the first set and appeared poise to take momentum. With the set tied at 7-7, Kamryn Olson put down a kill, Brooke Shirley served an ace and Olson See LADY CAVS Page B3

NBA: BULLS 113, HAWKS 93
Chicago races to big lead early, routs Atlanta Satoransky scores career-high 27 points to lead Bulls to win By Paul Newberry AP SPORTS WRITER

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison (No. 15) drives between Atlanta Hawks guards DeAndre’ Bembry (No. 95) and Kevin Huerter in the first half of Wednesday in Atlanta.
ATLANTA — For the second night in a row, the Chicago Bulls took a big lead into the fourth quarter. This time, they didn’t let up. Tomas Satoransky scored a career-high 27 points and the Bulls won for just the third time in nine games with easily their most impressive performance of the young season, routing the Atlanta Hawks 113-93 on Wednesday. “We were all frustrated by the way the last game went,” said Satoransky, who went 10 of 13 from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range. The Bulls built a big lead against LeBron James and the Lakers the night before, only to get outscored 38-19 in the fourth quarter of a 118-112 loss.
Taking out their frustration on the Hawks, this one was total domination. Satoransky had not scored more than nine points this season. He really went off on the Hawks, beating his previous career best of 25 while also dishing out eight assists. Zach LaVine even got a chance to put on his version of Showtime, blocking De’Andre Hunter’s 3-pointer to set up a 360-degree dunk at the other end. “We put it together tonight,” Coby White said. “Both halves.” Atlanta made a season-low six of 30 attempts from 3-point range, turned it over 24 times and trailed by double digits over the final 41:29. “Our guys were not ready,” Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce said See BULLS Page B3

Sports NFL: BEARS
Play calling one issue Nagy prefers not to discuss By Hub Arkush SHAW MEDIA
The 2017 Kansas City Chiefs won their first five games of the season, averaging 32.8 points a game. Over the next six games, the Chiefs offense inexplicably stuttered, averaging just 18.0 points a game as they dropped five of six, scoring just nine points in Week 10 and ten points in Week 11. Already a three-time Coach of the Year, Andy Reid decided to cede his play-calling duties to his O.C., Matt Nagy, and in Nagy’s first outing the Chiefs put up 31 points and over 500 yards of offense. With Nagy calling plays, the Chiefs went on to win their last four games and secured a wildcard spot while averaging 30 points a game. Ten days later, Nagy left Kansas City to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears. With his club currently struggling through a four-game losing streak, why wouldn’t Nagy try the same thing? Monday, Nagy said “there were a lot of things breaking down in the first half versus the Eagles,” and I wondered, relative to his play-calling and focus it takes, would it be advantageous for him to give it up even temporarily to be able to focus on all those things that were going wrong? “I’ll start off by saying we look at a lot of different things: players, we look at us as coaches, we look at the plays that are being called. That’s always the No. 1 thing after every single game,

Bears head coach Matt Nagy walks the sideline late in their loss to the New Orleans Saints at Soldier Field in Chicago. win lose or draw, that I start off with,” he said Wednesday. “It doesn’t matter whether we score six touchdowns and we have a hell of a game, I’ll always check myself and see where am I at in regards to this scheme and whether it works or not; was it there; and also the rhythm. “I’ve been a part of that. I’ve lived it. Where some of the best
play-callers have been into a position where you try change. “We’re always looking at all avenues. To answer your question: it’s not just the players, it is coaching.” I don’t challenge the plays called by professionals because they know more about it than I do, but I couldn’t find an answer to my actual question in that re-
sponse so I tried to clarify, “Just to be clear, I’m not asking about your play-calling, I’m asking if not having to worry about that during the game would free you up to do other things that would benefit the ball club?” Nagy patiently replied, “That part of the question, to me, it falls into a rhythm. It’s pretty natural, when you go three-and-out
five straight times and you don’t know your ‘why’ sometimes, that’s the part to where you can say to yourselves, ‘is this something where there needs to be a change, whether it’s play-calling, whether it’s schematically, whether it’s position, etc?’ “But it can affect you at times if you’re not getting into rhythm. I think just like it affects the players. Hopefully that’s ... I don’t know if I’m answering exactly what you’re looking for.” He wasn’,t so I tried one last time, “I’m actually asking if you would be best served rather than focusing on calling plays by watching offensive line play or watching your receivers ...” Before I could finish, I was told, “No, I wouldn’t.” Following his first NFL game as a play-caller back in 2017, Nagy told Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star, “That’s the best part about Coach Reid –– there’s zero ego. He doesn’t care. If he thinks it’s going to work, let’s go.” I can’t say for certain Nagy handing off the play-calling duties would help fix what’s ailing the Bears, but it does seem highly unlikely he’d be the Bears head coach today if Reed hadn’t tried it with him. I also have no idea whether or not Nagy’s ego is an issue. My gut is telling me he will get this fixed, but it is troubling how unwilling Nagy is to even consider something so obvious that’s worked for him in the past, if for no other reason than to get a fresh perspective on where his club is at, and what his options are to get it where he wants it to go.

slammed down another kill to give L-P a 10-7 lead. Sterling’s Grace Egan hit a shot that sailed out of bounds and Sterling coach Dale Dykeman was calling timeout when the official ruled the ball was touched by an L-P player. On the next volley, an L-P shot close to the line was called out. “We could have been up 11-7 and (Dykeman) was calling timeout,” Haberkorn said. “All of a sudden it’s 10-8 then there’s another tough call. Volleyball is a momentum game and they got some momentum from those calls. I think that changed the whole atmosphere of the first set, but it didn’t bother our mindset. We were still ready to compete.” Brook Borum slammed down a kill to tie the set at 10-10. It was tied again at 11, 13 and 14 before another Borum kill gave the Golden Warriors the lead for good at 15-14. Sterling extended its lead to 23-18 on an ace by Egan before the Lady Cavs made a late rally as a kill by Olson, a bump over by Olson and a kill by Happ pulled L-P within three at 24-21 before a tip by Brook Borum ended the set. “I’m very happy with the way we played,” Haberkorn said. “I’m proud of the way this team competed all night. We never backed off. We were very aggressive and played with purpose tonight. It was an outstanding effort. “We got some good passes and our girls had some good swings (in the first set). It wasn’t anything special we did. We moved the ball around and found some places in their defense. We made them work for every point and they made us work for every point too.” The Golden Warriors took control of the second set early. Brook Borum had three kills in the first eight points and two long volleys ended with kills by Sterling’s Egan and Grace Gould as the Golden Warriors took a 10-5 lead. “They were touching us on the pins extremely well so we just

Satoransky chipped in with seven points, Kris Dunn added five and Lauri Markkanen knocked down a 3 to push Chicago to a 30-12 lead. Porter went down before halftime with a bruised left foot and did not return. He wasn’t needed. The Bulls were up 56-41 at the break, closing the half with a couple

They were hitting where we weren’t and playing to our
weaknesses and their strengths.” Sterling (33-6) advances to play Belvidere North (35-3) in the La Salle-Peru Super-Sectional at 6 p.m. Friday. “It’s really great,” said Brook Borum, who had 16 kills, seven digs and three aces. “We’re one step closer to where we want to be at the end of the season, which is state. I think we’re really at our highest peak right now. Everything is going good for us right now.” The Lady Cavs finish the sea-
son 33-4. “Losing Marisa Guisti and other very valuable players, going into the season we were a little nervous,” Happ said. “We didn’t know what to expect. I’m very proud of how we all played and came together this year. We improved as a team and I saw improvement in each and every player.” Wednesday’s match ended the prep careers for Olson, Happ, Arika Richardson, Anna Quesse, Alyssa Ernat, Jacey Mertel, Abby
Peruba, Brooke Shirley, Hope Skoog and Paige Champlin. “They’ve done so much for the program as student-athletes,” Haberkorn said. “It’s been a great year for them. We’re really going to miss our seniors. I can’t say enough about the things they contributed on and off the court.”
of quick passes around the perimeter to set up Satoransky’s 3 from the corner as the buzzer sounded. It was the lowest-scoring first half of the season for the Hawks. Chicago stretched the margin as high as 28 points. “We played 40 really good minutes last night and that’s not enough,” Bulls coach Jim Boylen said. “They were hurting from the way the game ended last night.” Starting his second straight game in place of John Collins, Jabari Parker led the Hawks with 18 points. Collins is serving a 25game suspension after violating the NBA’s doping policy. But Pierce wasn’t in the mood to praise anyone.

Mother of brain-damaged boy wins $50M in malpractice suit Former owner of hospital thought care had been appropriate OAK PARK, Ill. (AP) — A jury awarded $101 million to the mother of a severely brain-damaged boy who sued a Chicago-area hospital for medical malpractice, but an agreement between the parties cut the amount to $50 million, a lawyer said Tuesday. Attorneys told a Cook County jury that medical staff at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park ignored ultrasound results that indicated the unborn baby didn’t move for six hours during labor in 2014. Experts testified that a cesarean section would have prevented Gerald Sallis’ brain damage. The 5-year-old cannot speak, walk or sit up on his own. The hospital was accused of ignoring Tequila Sallis’ concerns that she couldn’t
feel him move. “To see this young child now suffer every minute of every day when he should be playing on a playground in kindergarten is a terrible thing,” said Sarah King, an attorney for the family. Before the verdict this week, both sides agreed to cap an award at $50 million if the verdict exceeded $50 million, said Keith Hebeisen, another family lawyer. In return, Tenet Healthcare, which owned the hospital when Gerald was born, won’t appeal and the case will end, Hebeisen said. “While we believe the care provided under the circumstances was appropriate, all parties agreed to a settlement prior to the verdict that will support this patient” and the family, Tenet said in a statement. West Suburban Medical now has a different owner.

Tanner’s district includes a large portion of Bureau County. “I would like to hear what my constituents think are the next steps we should take as a result of major legislation passed in Springfield earlier this year, such as recreational marijuana, full-term abortion, and a $15-per-hour downstate minimum wage,” Weaver said. “We also plan to discuss the impact that consolidation would have with regards to the need for major pension reform. “Finally, I will answer citizens’ questions about my ‘no’ vote on the graduated tax constitutional amendment.”
