Faster internet speeds are coming in the future to Lostant residents Tonica Telephone Co. working on project BY CRAIG STERRETT Shaw Media LOSTANT — Tonica Telephone Co. will run fiber optic lines to every home and business in Lostant, Lostant Village President Jack Immel said. Immel said now that a lot of people are working from home, or participating in online classes at home, the
need for excellent internet capabilities has become obvious. “Any business of any size wants fiber optic,” said Immel, and Tonica Telephone wants to provide it. They will provide a line to every house in town, even if the resident does not plan to use it. Kevin Sluder from Tonica Telephone said Kirby Cable is in the process of extending conduit for the fiber to Lostant, and at last check, they were about a mile from Lostant. He said the contractor might not be working quickly on the nonessential project at this time of coro-
navirus-related precautions. Sluder said eventually, Tonica Telephone will push the fiber to Lostant and all Lostant customers. Also, Immel noted that the village had problems with a lift station in recent months resulting from people flushing non-flushable items — including wipes that are advertised as “flushable” but get stuck in various portions of the sewer system. Immel said residents apparently have been following directions about what not to flush, because problems have subsided.
LASALLE COUNTY
Weger’s lawyers trying to vacate his conviction BY TOM COLLINS Shaw Media Lawyers for Chester Weger, the now-paroled Starved Rock murderer, say they are working on a motion to vacate his conviction. A motion was not on file as of April 23 in LaSalle County Circuit Court, but Weger’s legal team hinted that it’s coming. Chicago attorneys Andy Hale and Celeste Stack, in a press release,
said Weger’s arrest and conviction were “based on tactics that are now banned by the U.S. Supreme Court: Weger did not receive Miranda warnings, he was arrested without probable cause and denied exculpatory evidence.” LaSalle County state’s attorney Karen Donnelly said she’s been apprised a motion is forthcoming and, based on her knowledge of the case, believes there’s no merit for
vacating Weger’s conviction. “With regard to the motion, there is no legal basis to set aside this conviction,” Donnelly said. “I opposed Weger’s parole in part because he has never shown remorse, and this maneuver just proves my point. “He confessed to killing three innocent women,” Donnelly said. “He was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of his peers.

ILLINOIS VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Board authorizes hiring investigators in emergency Saturday session BY CRAIG STERRETT Shaw Media
• WEGER Continued from Page 2 “Most importantly, the Illinois Supreme Court carefully considered and rejected all of his arguments, including the argument his confession was coerced. I will oppose with all my resources any attempt to vacate this conviction.” Weger, 81, was charged with the murders of three women in 1960 and convicted the following year of killing Lillian Oetting. He also confessed to, but was not convicted of, killing Oetting’s companions Mildred Lindquist and Frances Murphy.

IVCC I.T. director Chris Dunlap (left) talks to college board members and staff on April 25 about “an intruder” locking up the college email and additional servers, affecting interdepartmental communications, email, the college website and student registration. The college is not aware of personal data being compromised or of online instructional programming being hindered. She said without its administrative software program Colleague working, many of IVCC’s daily operations are “at a standstill.” One problem is, it’s uncertain how long it will take to find the cause of or culprit in the breach, IVCC officials heard on April 25. “We know this touches a lot of people, and our faculty and staff,” said Jane Goetz, IVCC board president. Goetz said the breach and lock-up of servers does not affect all operations, but it needs to be fixed. She asked if there is a possible cost of a solution, to which attorney Walt Zukowski said no maximum price is definite. College officials on April 24 said
He was sentenced to life in prison. Weger spent the next six decades protesting his innocence — he long ago recanted the confession — and arguing for parole. He finally succeeded last fall when the Illinois Prisoner Preview Board voted 9-4 in favor of release. He was released in February. Most of his arguments for vacating the conviction had been raised and rejected either in post-trial motions or on appeal. The Miranda warning, for example, wasn’t available to Weger because the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case establishing that right (Miranda vs. Arizona) wasn’t decided until 1966.
the breach does not affect the college’s ability to deliver educational services to students during the state’s stay-at-home-order. The board voted April 25 to authorize the IVCC administration to enter a contract with Rehmann Robson LLC, to investigate and help solve the data breach. Roelfsema said the college has up to $100,000 in insurance coverage for the matter. Additional companies who were involved in helping with IVCC information technology in the past may get involved, as well, but Corcoran said Rehmann would take the lead. For instance, Robert Ferrilli, whose firm already works with IVCC I.T.,

Illinois Valley Community College hired a firm the morning of April 25 to investigate a breach of an email and interdepartmental communication system at IVCC after systems locked up at the college on April 24. Initial investigation eventually resulted in the discovery of an email designed to lure IVCC I.T. staff to click on the email and follow instructions for unlocking the systems. Instead of taking the bait, IVCC staff members called for help from an outside contractor. Illinois Valley Community College President Jerry Corcoran applauded staff members for their prudent and cautious actions. “Time is of the essence” in the search for the solution to and investigation of an internet breach that locked up college servers and emails which was detected April 24 at Illinois Valley Community College. That was the word the morning of April 25 from board president Cheryl Roelfsema, vice president for business services and finance/treasurer, at an online Zoom emergency meeting called by the IVCC Trustees and administration. Roelfsema said in addition to blocking emails, the issue hinders registration for courses, which is ongoing. Roelfsema said restoring the network and completing the forensic audit could take 9-10 days.
called April 25 and offered to help. In addition to finding a solution, a forensic investigation will take place, and Chris Dunlap, IVCC information and technology services director, informed the board that initial investigation indicates an intruder locked up IVCC servers. IVCC officials, noting what appear to be eerie similarities to a breach and ransomware attack that affected LaSalle County governmental computers, said they would contact county IT personnel and officials. Corcoran said there was an email message from the possible intruder, but he said he would know more about the contents of that email after an investigator looks carefully and more deeply into the matter. The board was able to meet without 48-hour notice because of the need to expedite the investigation, and board members heard that the state’s attorney, Attorney General, FBI and other law enforcement may be contacted. “On my way to work yesterday morning I received a text from a member of the administration who gave me a heads up that the email system seemed to be not working, as well as the website,” said IVCC President Jerry Corcoran. “That triggered me calling Chris Dunlap as well as Cheryl Roelfsema to begin looking into it. They did. The more time they spent looking into it, Chris, with his team, eventually it became clear that an outside intruder must have gotten into the system, locked up the servers, locked up the email system and locked up Colleague, which we are also dependent upon for everything we do around here. That triggered the next step as to the next step, as to those with whom we had worked with in the past, whether there was a possibility of a data breach, the possibility of a system that’s compromised.”

ILLINOIS VALLEY AND CORONAVIRUS
Area hospitals to bring back elective surgeries BY ALI BRABOY AND GOLDIE RAPP Shaw Media Under new guidance provided by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, area hospitals are preparing to bring back some elective surgeries as soon as May 1. Since mid-March, elective surgeries, defined as those procedures that are pre-planned but not urgent or emergent, have been put on hold. Illinois Department of Public Health recommended canceling all elective surgeries to decompress the health care system during the COVID-19 response and prevent potential exposure to the virus. Pritzker on April 23 said, “Because we are bending the curve, surgicenters and hospitals will be able to begin scheduling surgeries that had been delayed so we could maximize statewide capacity for COVID patients. Facilities will need to meet specific criteria including proper PPE and ensuring enough overall bed and ICU availability and testing of elective surgery patients to ensure COVID-19 negative status.” Cathy Foes, Perry Memorial Hospital’s marketing director, said on Friday the hospital is planning to bring back endoscopy procedures May 1. The hospital will bring back

A sign in a window in an older portion of Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru reads “Heroes work here.” outpatient procedures before in-patient procedures are considered. Perry will follow IDPH recommendations by having doctors determine the necessity of the surgery
before it’s approved. A patient will then have a choice whether to proceed with the surgery. When elective surgeries were put on hold in March, health care pro-
viders that worked with endoscopy procedures at Perry were shifted to conduct COVID-19 screenings at the hospital. Foes said they will now be rotated back to endoscopy, and some employees who were furloughed or who opted to take paid time off this past month will be brought back to the hospital to fill in for the screenings. Tommy Hobbs, CEO of Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru, said on April 23 the hospital is waiting to hear more direction from the governor about specifics on this. The hospital has had a plan in place that they feel will exceed expectations of safety, Hobbs said. “We will be prepared to do whatever the governor announces.” Hobbs said it’s important for the community that IVCH returns to providing this care. The hospital and individuals in the community both have responsibility to take necessary precautions to keep ourselves safe from the coronavirus, he said. He said, “We all need to be cognizant of the coronavirus and adhere to regulations and rules out there.” He said the hospital’s last full day of elective surgeries was March 12.
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Wait, we agreed to this? Cell data being used to track social distancing BY MICHAEL URBANEC Shaw Media Cellphone owners already are being tracked by their cell network carrier and private companies have begun using that data to track how counties are following social distancing practices amid the COVID19 pandemic. Popular apps already track users’ locations to provide more convenient service. Snapchat has SnapMap, which allows users to see where their friends are and Instagram automatically will tag a location if a user posts a photo without doing it themselves. Northern Illinois University professor David Gunkel said this technology is not uncommon, nor is it difficult to use. Most cellphone applications ask for the right to use data location services in the terms of service, which can be overlooked. “When you download an app like Whatsapp or TikTok, many of
these apps use geolocation to offer consumers convenience so they can find friends or places,” Gunkel said. “They share your geolocation. In most cases, these are things that everyone is opted into by default.” Google releases this data every few days as a part of its COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports, available with a quick search for “Google mobility data.” It provides numbers that explain whether Illinois residents are traveling or not. Illinois resident travel is down 53% for retail and recreation, down 24% for grocery and pharmacy trips and down 29% for trips to parks. Travel to workplaces is down 39% and travel to other residences are up 13% from where they were on Feb. 16. According to Google, “no personally identifiable information, such as an individual’s location, contacts or movement, will be made available at any point.” Gunkel said the only way to stop sharing geolocation data is by going
into a phone’s settings and unmarking the checkbox that allows for data sharing. “Another way that geolocation data is taken is through your cell company,” Gunkel said. “They know where you are at all times. When you go from cell tower to cell tower, your signal transfers, so they now know where your device is. AT&T, Verizon, they all ostensibly know where all devices that use their services are located.” Gunkel said this data is used for products such as Google Maps, which can show what traffic is like on busier roads. This is based on anonymized data that determines data concentration at a certain point on the road. Anyone using the data doesn’t have access to identifying information as to where specific people are located. “Places where there are specific identifiers, like Singapore or South Korea, are requiring a specific app for tracking whereabouts in regards
to virus protection,” Gunkel said. “It would need to be deliberate to get person information; right now, all of this information stays with private companies.” Gunkel said there would need to be a law change to allow the government to use this data: Americans will have to decide whether they want to trade privacy for safety. “This virus is going to be a shortterm thing in relative terms and we have to think about whether or not we want to trade privacy for security,” Gunkel said. “What are the civil liberty implications downstream depending on what laws are passed? This is the problem. I would be concerned with anything that doesn’t have an expiration date.” Gunkel said handling the issue becomes complicated because each jurisdiction is going to push out their own laws in a piecemeal fashion, which makes cooperation among jurisdictions complex because the problem is global.

OGLESBY — Students can get ahead with one of more than 175 summer section courses offered online at Illinois Valley Community College beginning May 18 and June 10. “Students who take summer courses are more likely to graduate from their university than classmates who do not,” said IVCC Director of Admissions Quintin Overocker. “This is especially true for students in demanding majors,” he said, adding, “Summer’s also a great time to knock off prerequisites toward a bachelor’s degree.” IVCC’s online classes offer both flexibility — they can be completed while students juggle family, work and other obligations — and significant savings. “Classes are much more affordable at IVCC than they are at a university.

Crystal Credi wins Skertson distinguished service award
OGLESBY — Crystal Credi of Peru is the 2020 winner of Illinois Valley Community College’s Connie Skerston Memorial Award for Support Staff Distinguished Service. Credi, administrative assistant in Student Services, was nominated by IVCC President Jerry Corcoran. “Crystal shows up every day with a smile on her face and a commitment to service excellence in her heart. She enjoys being around people and no matter what anyone asks her to look into, she’s always happy to oblige,” said Corcoran. Credi helps coordinate major Student Services events such as the academic banquet and commencement. A full-time employee since 2017, she started part-time in 2013. “Crystal is a team player who arrives early so she can begin helping people change their lives,” Corcoran said. Credi provides information to
students via podcasts available on IVCC’s website at https://soundcloud.com/user-857114290. Among 20 podcasts, she has covered tips for de-stressing, career services, financial aid, scholarships and more. She earned her bachelor’s from Illinois State University in May 2019 and is now pursuing a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Lewis University. She graduated summa cum laude from IVCC in 2016 with AA and AS degrees. “With her grit, determination and degree in hand, there’s no doubt Crystal is well positioned to eventually move into a key leadership position,” Corcoran said. Other finalists for the award — named in memory of former assistant director of admissions and records Connie Skerston who died in 2015 — were cashier Jill Hejl and Continuing Education administrative assistant Bonnie Jasiek.
