For or against marijuana Money or morality?

Princeton council asks if residents are open to a marijuana dispensary

By Kim Shute SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — Princeton City Council wants to keep up with the times — the high times. And this week, the council heard from people who are for and against expansion of the legality of lighting up.

Come Jan. 1 marijuana will be legal in Illinois (but regulated) and the city will need to have an ordinance on the books that either allows or disallows a dispensary to sell marijuana within city limits.

Mayor Joel Quiram told the audience he wanted to clear up a few misconceptions he thought people may have including: Ç The city is not going into the ‘marijuana business’. The city is not opening a dispensary. They are merely setting a rule whether a dispensary would be allowed. Ç There is no guarantee that a dispensary would come to Princeton. There will be only 75 licenses allowed in the state and the cost for a private enterprise to bring a dispensary to town could cost upwards of $500,000. Ç If a dispensary were to come to Princeton, the city could collect tax up to 3% on gross sales which could be used to reduce the city’s debt or fund police and fire pensions. Ç A dispensary would not negatively affect any support or resources currently given to Drug Awareness and Resistance Education or Community Partners Against Substance Abuse.

SO WHAT IS THE COUNCIL’S TAKE? Quiram said that while his personal opinion may differ, he believes the consensus among those who contributed to an unofficial poll want to allow a dispensary. Quiram is See POT Page A2

T-Jay Alvarado (left) shared his thoughts in favor of the city allowing a marijuana dispensary to set up shop within the city limits, and Bea Coates (right) spoke out against it during a public forum this week in Princeton. The city council hosted the forum prior to Tuesday’s council meeting to gauge the wishes of residents. Princeton will need to have an ordinance on file that either allows or bans a marijuana dispensary from setting up shop within city limits.

Yes:

No:

THOSE WHO WERE IN FAVOR OF AN ORDINANCE THAT COULD PAVE THE WAY FOR A DISPENSARY: T-Jay Alvarado: I moved back here after living in Colorado, including Colorado Springs where they voted against it. I think right now there is a social stigma attached to communities that allow or support it. My question for those who say we have a moral obligation, who do we have a moral obligation to? We have been fighting a war on drugs and it’s been proven the war on drugs has failed and marginalized minorities. We have an opioid epidemic so how does this compare to marijuana use? We need to have a shift in perception that marijuana use is for ‘losers’. Anything used to excess can have an adverse affect, but we’ve come a long way from the ‘reefer madness’ age. The fact is there will still be a black market but at least a dispensary would be regulated and greenlight safe spaces for use.

Jeremy Widmer: I’ve lived here for 20 years.

We keep talking about children, but dispensaries See YES Page A2

THOSE WHO WERE AGAINST AN ORDINANCE ALLOWING THE POSSIBILITY FOR A DISPENSARY TO COME TO PRINCETON: Bea Coates: I voted for you guys, you’re representing me. We have to take a stand for the children — your children and grandchildren. We have to take a stand because it represents who we are as a city. Once we open that Pandora’s Box, we can’t put things back in again. I think the governor was wrong to allow this without a vote and now you’re going to decide without a vote and I just think it’s the wrong thing to do.

Don Mansfield: We’d like to think it’s a clean cost, but we don’t know the soft cost that absorbs some of the tax money. We don’t know the long-term cost on mental health and crime.

We’re also sending a mixed message to our kids.

This is a moral choice to be made — you are in authority over a community so you are making a moral choice.

A right to be there New law changes how police question students at school

By Brett Herrmann SHAW MEDIA

The death of an Illinois student prompted a change in Illinois law on how students can be questioned at school during a criminal investigation.

The bill was signed into law

by Gov. J.B. Pritzker last month and requires law enforcement to notify parents and make “reasonable efforts” to make sure they are present when questioning a student under the age of 18 suspected of committing a criminal act. It’s effective immediately, but on the local level, that does not mean much change for area high schools.

US farmers hope Trump delivers on trade deal with Japan

“Our procedures would not change. We would not allow the school resource officer to have contact with a student without notifying a parent,” said Princeton High School superintendent Kirk Haring.

Schools like Princeton and La Salle-Peru Township High School have had school resource officers for several years, while schools like Mendota and Hall High School have added the resource officer position just recently.

But overall, the idea is to make sure the student is not in a threatening environment, and that practice has been in place for years, even before an offi-

WASHINGTON (AP) — American farmers have not only endured retaliatory tariffs from China and other nations, they’ve watched as most of their top foreign competitors used free trade agreements to make inroads into Japan, a historically protectionist market with nearly 127 million consumers.

Now they’re wondering if the coming U.S.-Japan trade deal that President Donald Trump is showcasing will be as strong for farmers as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which was negotiated under President Barack Obama and ditched by Trump as soon as he took office.

When Trump bailed on TPP, competitors such as Canada, Mexico and Australia forged ahead with a revamped version of the trade deal. Not wanting to be left out, the European Union reached its own free trade agreement with Japan. Both agreements went into effect at the beginning of this year.

The result: Top foreign competitors to American farmers get a pricing advantage after taking into account the 38.5% import tax that is applied to American beef, the 20% tariff applied to American ground pork and the 40% duty applied to some cheeses.

The changes have contributed to a new trade landscape that saw U.S. farm exports to Japan drop 2% to $6.5 billion in the first six months of this year compared with the same period last year, according to the Agriculture Department.

“We’ve taken a temporary step backward because our competitors have had better access than us,” said Nick Giordano, a vice president at the National Pork Producers Council.

Giordano is hopeful that dynamic will change soon. The president, in need of some wins on the trade front, has said the U.S. and Japan have agreed in

10, 25, 50 YEARS AGO Sept. 5, 2009 — A La Salle County morgue building feasibility study was taken off the table because the county just didn’t have any money to justify such a project.

Sept. 5, 1994 — Funds received through La Salle’s pay-to-park program will go toward paving and maintenance of La Salle parking lots Sept. 5, 1969 — Horizon House would be the name of a workshop to provide work activities, recreation and social therapy for people with physical disabilities.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Re-energized at 115 mph, Hurricane Dorian raked the Southeastern U.S. coast with howling, window-rattling winds and sideways rain Thursday, knocking out power to more than 200,000 homes and businesses as it pushed northward toward North Carolina’s dangerously exposed Outer Banks.

Leaving at least 20 people dead in its wake in the devastated Bahamas, Dorian made its way up the Eastern Seaboard, sweeping past Florida on Wednesday at a relatively safe distance. From there, the Category 3 storm apparently grazed Georgia, then hugged the South

Carolina coast with more serious effects.

An estimated 3 million people in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas were warned to evacuate as the storm closed in with the potential for life-threatening storm surge.

Navy ships were ordered to ride it out at sea, and military aircraft were moved inland.

At least two deaths were reported on the U.S. mainland, in Florida and North Carolina, both involving men who fell while getting ready for the storm.

The National Hurricane Center’s projected track showed Dorian passing near or over the Outer Banks on Friday, lashing the thin line of islands that stick out from the U.S. coast like a boxer’s chin.

Dorian was then expected to peel away from the shoreline.

In an assault that began over Labor Day weekend, Dorian pounded the Bahamas with Category 5 winds up to 185 mph, obliterating entire neigh-

borhoods and triggering a humanitarian crisis. It weakened to a Category 2 before strengthening again late Wednesday.

About 830,000 people were under mandatory evacuation orders on the South Carolina coast alone.

Walgren’s family against Naperville High School and the City of Naperville, which was settled this week. L-P superintendent Steve Wrobleski said his staff is up to date on the new law change.

“We’ve had a number of conversations with our school security staff to make sure we’re all on the same page,” he said.

Like other local schools, Wrobleski said it will not change much in how things are investigated at the school.

Typically, the school’s security staff will handle minor incidents that don’t

require police involvement.

“Any time we’re going to involve police or the school resource officer in something that is going to lead to charges, a parent is going to be contacted,” Wrobleski said. “And if we are unable to get a hold of the parents, we’ll make sure that a counselor or social worker or school psychiatrist is present.”

So, it will still be a judgment call on whether the school wants to involve police or not.

“A big part of that is looking at it on a case-bycase basis,” Wrobleski said.

“I get the idea to monitor

the kid’s state of mind.”

However, this does not mean authorities have to wait around if there is an immediate threat to the school. Wrobleski said there are exemptions to the law such as a weapons threat, a fight or other violent incidents.

“We also don’t want to slow down an investigation to where evidence can be destroyed or stories can’t be corroborated,” he said.

Currently, local schools are monitoring any types of unforeseen consequences among students and staff.

Wrobleski said his security team will be recording data

and keeping a log of incidents to monitor any positive or negative changes.

He said the school will look to give feedback to state Rep. Lance Yednock (D-Ottawa) or state Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Morris) if the change becomes an issue.

Jerry Neumann indicated he has more thinking to do and believes his decision will come with more research. Neumann said he does believe it’s up to parent to lead their children to make good choices and said he doesn’t believe a dispensary would lead to a stigma for the city.

Ray Swanson said he

wants to make it clear that no one on the council supports drug use and everyone cares about local children. “I don’t think it will come here anyway, due to our population, but it is a revenue stream.” Swanson didn’t disclose at this time which way he will vote.

principle on a new trade pact that the two parties hope to make official later this month.

Trump announced the agreement a couple of days after he raised retaliatory tariffs on China and ordered American companies to consider alternatives to doing business there, moves that contributed to significant drops in the financial markets.

“We’ve agreed to every point, and now we’re papering it and we’ll be signing it at a formal ceremony,” Trump said.

Trade talks involving the Trump administration tend to be subject to fits and starts.

Farm groups are hoping for no setbacks.

don’t sell to children. Street dealers don’t card children. Statistically, 35% of this community already uses today. I don’t see a jump in people using. You’re going to cut out some illegal sales.

The dispensaries are regulated and tested and the oversights are strict, the ID checks are strict. Dispensaries are under lock and key, they scan your ID, it’s recorded.

It’s not like you’re walking into a bar.

Even if the council passes the ordinance, I don’t really see one coming here — we don’t have the population.

These aren’t mom-and-pop shops, they’re publicly traded multi-million dollar companies.

It’s not going to be like some people in the community think, like a dive bar full of hoodlums.

Instead of going by their personal morality, the council needs to go by what the community wants — they don’t have to be anyone else’s moral compass.

Kala Widmer: I have young children and I don’t fear their morals will be compromised. It’s my job to teach them.

If this passes you can simply chose not to partake. If you are against it why do you feel you should be able to tell others whether they can partake?

and we have a moral responsibility to our family. If we allow this, we are allowing ourselves to tell our kids there are no boundaries. I am totally not agreeing with this. We have our children to answer to.

Joyce Mansfield: I don’t agree. I had friends in junior high whose mental capacity went way down. Allowing this not only affects the person who does it, it could affect people around you.

Linda Murphy: Marijuana destroys families and it’s a gateway drug. Do we want our leaders to endorse the use of a gateway drug?

Tom Root: I spent 17 years as a police chief and prior to that did narcotics enforcement. I’ve seen the bad sides, and not necessarily many good sides. We have CPASA education, which is good, but we also have to decide if revenue is more important than our moral obligations. It comes down to choices, the same with drug prevention. You have the choice to do the right thing or the wrong thing.

Once it becomes legal, I don’t think we’re going to stop it, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. I have to agree it’s a gateway drug and parents need to guide their kid’s decisions.

Susie Bishop: I’m totally against it. My niece was driving my car and she shouldn’t have been. I could have lost my insurance.

Vescogni seeks to unseat Donnelly in 2020

LA SALLE: BBQ-N-BLUES, JAZZ’N THE STREET

Longtime deputy prosecutor to run for state’s attorney

By Tom Collins SHAW MEDIA

OTTAWA — A former assistant to La Salle County state’s attorney Karen Donnelly is running against her.

Brian Vescogni, 47, of Peru announced Wednesday his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for La Salle County state’s attorney in the March 2020 primary election.

“The majority of criminal acts are related in some way to the sale of narcotics or narcotVescogni ics addiction,” Vescogni said in a statement, “and I will work with law enforcement to combat the flow of illegal narcotics into La Salle County while also seeking creative ways to treat individuals with addiction issues.”

If elected, Vescogni pledged to allocate more resources to assist law enforcement in keeping pace with changes in technology and how that technology is used to fund criminal enterprises. He believes “that the state’s attorney should serve with integrity and work to help keep our communities safe while also instilling the public’s trust in the office.”

Vescogni was admitted to the bar in 2000 and joined the state’s attorney’s office in 2001 under then-state’s attorney Joe Hettel.

He worked chiefly in the felony narcotics division and helped prosecute drug dealers Michael Munson and Charles Bartels before leaving the office to become assistant La Salle County public defender in May 2005.

Vescogni returned to the state’s attorney’s office as chief deputy in the narcotics division in December 2006 after Hettel became a judge and first assistant Brian Towne became state’s attorney.

Towne and Vescogni filed the county’s first charges of criminal drug conspiracy against Da Hittaz, the hip-hop group that police and prosecutors said was a front for a drug ring.

He has been appointed to State Rep. Lance Yednock’s Opioid Advisory Committee.

A graduate of La Salle-Peru Township High School, Vescogni graduated from Eastern Illinois University and earned a law degree from The John Marshall Law School. He is married to La Salle County Associate Judge Michelle A. (Fellores) Vescogni. They have two daughters.

PRINCETON: 48TH ANNUAL HOMESTEAD FESTIVAL

Historic festival doubles as homecoming for Princeton Music, food, history, car, art events on tap over busy weekend Homestead Festival

Mosaic furniture was installed this week in a newly revitalized walkway on Princeton’s South Main Street. Designed

by Ottawa artist Susan Burton and made possible by the Princeton Public Arts Commission, the walkway between Fawcett’s Pharmacy and Quilter’s Garden has been turned into a welcoming public art installation. A dedication ceremony will be part of Homestead Weekend.

By Kim Shute SHAW MEDIA

PRINCETON — Princeton’s biggest party, the 48th annual Homestead Festival, kicks off Friday.

This year’s theme, Journey Home, encapsulates the spirit of the city’s favorite event, which brings together Princeton residents past and present.

The festival, which began as a tribute to famed abolitionist and Princeton resident Owen Lovejoy, over the years has become a symbol of Princeton’s commitment to being a small town big on celebrating its family culture.

According to the Homestead site’s written history, the festival’s humble beginnings originated in 1971 when the Illinois State Historical Society held its annual spring tour in Princeton on May 14-15. The Bureau County Historical Society hosted the event.

By 1972 the restoration of the Lovejoy Homestead was complete and Princeton’s mayor appointed the Lovejoy Homestead Board of Trustees to administer funds and oversee the running of the home. The committee considered a dedication ceremony along with the possibility of a festival and parade.

The inaugural event was combined with the annual Bureau County Pork Producers’ pork barbecue. The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, the Festival acts as an unofficial Homecoming weekend for Princeton with many PHS classes planning class reunions. The highlight for many is the Homestead Parade which in recent years has featured the Jesse White Tumblers and The famed South Shore Drill Team

from Chicago.

The original festival featured an ice cream social, square dancing and ballroom dancing along with a parade, local arts show, musical entertainment and an antique auto display.

Many of those events still are featured in modern Homestead festivals, though square dancing and ballroom dancing have fallen out of favor.

Steering committee couples,

who spend an entire year coordinating the festival happenings, have their share of fond memories as well.

“Our best memories are watching all the people that enjoy the Homestead Weekend together,” Tim Smith said of himself and wife Aggie. “What we are looking most forward to this year is the back to back concert nights on Thursday and Friday nights. This will be a

Weekend highlights Complete schedule: www.newstrib.com Friday — Main Street window displays and Owen Lovejoy Homestead tours starting at 1 p.m.; Princeton Junior Women’s Club barbecue and Ice Cream Social, Soldiers & Sailors Park 5-9 p.m.; horse drawn wagon rides, Soldiers and Sailors Park; and the Faithfully Journey tribute band, 7-9 p.m.; and a Richard Widmark movie at The Apollo at 9 p.m.

great opportunity to bring many people together again for fun and entertainment.”

“It is hard to choose one memory,” Laura Favia said.

“I love the energy Homestead Festival weekend brings. From the smiles on the faces of all the children, seeing old high school buddies connect after years apart to the reminiscing of our teenage years when we walk through the car show. All set to music all weekend. And then the moment of anticipation, ‘Is this the year I am going to win the 50/50?’ I guess if I have to answer your question my favorite memory of Homestead is every Homestead, Friday through Sunday.”

“My favorite memory was the smile on all the kids’ faces when they saw the huge eagle balloon coming down Main Street last year,” Phil Favia said.

With a packed schedule, the weekend is sure to provide plenty of new memories.

US stocks jump on planned resumption of US-China talks

BRIEFS Pecher named manager for Midland bank’s Mendota branch Scott Pecher has been named Midland States Bank’s banking center manager for its Mendota branch.

Prior to joining Midland, Pecher worked in regional customer experience positions and has more than 13 years of managerial experience.

continue growing.

The S&P 500 rose 1.5% as of 10 a.m.

Eastern Time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 431 points, or 1.6%, to 26,785. The Nasdaq rose 1.7%.

Payroll processor ADP reported that U.S. businesses added 195,000 jobs in August, well above economists’ expectations. The private report often diverges from the government’s report, which is scheduled to be released Friday. Economists expect the report to show 160,000 jobs added.

Meanwhile, the Labor Department reported overall productivity rose 2.3% in the second quarter, also beating economists’ growth forecasts.

The positive report gave already rising bond yields a push. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.58% from 1.46% late Wednesday.

Stocks in Europe moved broadly higher as political developments in Britain point to a less chaotic exit from the European Union.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks moved broadly higher today as investors cheered plans for the U.S. and China to meet in October in an attempt to reconcile their longstanding trade dispute.

Financial markets were also bolstered by positive economic data showing that U.S. companies are still hiring at a solid pace and that U.S. productivity rose at a healthy rate last quarter.

Technology stocks led the gains for a second day in a row as investors again fed a bigger appetite for riskier holdings.

Chipmakers were the standouts in the early going. Intel rose 3.2% and Nvidia rose 4.2%.

Banks moved broadly higher as bond yields rose, which gives them more leverage to charge higher interest rates on loans and garner more profit. JPMorgan Chase rose 2.4% and Bank of America rose 2.7%.

Consumer-focused companies also rose broadly. Nike, which stands to benefit if the trade war ends soon, rose 2.1%. Amazon rose 1.2%.

Investors again shunned safe-play holdings, including utilities and bonds, as they gained more confidence that the economy will

The more important things I’ve been on a boat for the last week, on the semi-annual National Review cruise. It’s a vacation mixed with political, cultural and religious analysis (we had a panel on the Vatican, among many other things).

On the political front, Kathryn Jean more than a few of us Lopez appreciated NEWSPAPER being able ENTERPRISE to mark ASSOCIATION the end of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s campaign for the presidential nomination — the New York Democrat spent her time promoting extreme expansive abortion positions and insisting that people who hold opposing views “are not acceptable.” Intentionally or no, she represented the kind of thinking that makes way for tyranny.

If you’re worried about that on the right, keep an eye for it on the left, too.

Being on a boat discussing these things, you can’t help but look way beyond politics.

The scenery alone impresses that upon you. Toward the end of the week, we were leaving Nova Scotia surrounded by fog.

The foghorn blasted every single minute for a while that evening, and if you looked high up in the sky for a moment, there was light still fighting to break through as sunset was upon us. It was hard to not see it as some kind of metaphor.

Looking out into the fog, I couldn’t help hearing the words of St. Augustine, whose feast day was only a couple days before, writing in his “Confessions” about his last conversation with his mother.

Augustine writes: “We were asking one another in the presence of the Truth ... what it would be like to share the eternal life enjoyed by the saints, which ‘eye has not seen, nor ear heard, which has not even entered into the heart of man.’

We desired with all our hearts to drink from the streams of your heavenly fountain, the fountain of life.”

What beautiful things to be talking about! Augustine says that “in the course of our conversation that day, the world and its pleasures lost all their attraction for us.”

St. Monica, St. Augustine’s mother, would soon come down with a fever, and after a few days passed, she died.

Her conversation with her son reminds us about the truly important things in life, and of life’s unpredictability. The coming election isn’t everything.

You and I might not even live to Election Day 2020.

The most important conversations we had on the cruise weren’t about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or any of the rest of the Democrats hoping to challenge Trump. They weren’t about the state or future of conservatism. They were about neighbors fostering children.

They were prayer requests for an adult child who is angry, lost or struggling. They were the kind of conversations that come after a panel discussion points to things beyond the news cycle.

Which ones are really ‘bad’ neighborhoods?

I visited Malta last year. You may have heard of their falcon.

Malta is a country on three small islands between Sicily and Africa, almost dead-center in the Mediterranean.

It’s about the size of Staten Island, but it’s an independent Jim Mullen country and a member of NEWSPAPER the European ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Union.

It is a very, very old country. In many towns, you could film “The Life of Christ” without changing a thing. It even has a life-sized reproduction of Bethlehem with live chickens running around. It is a $79, one-hour Ryan Air flight from most of southern Europe, and gets millions of tourists each year.

The natives speak Maltese and English (it was a British colony until becoming independent), and a few other languages besides. There is corruption — where isn’t there? — but as in all small places, people generally know who the corrupt ones are.

We all know which lawyers can get you out of a DUI for a price.

We know if the mayor is cheating on his or her spouse.

Without saying Malta is more or less corrupt than anywhere else, an anti-corruption journalist died in a car bomb explosion shortly before I visited.

Fun fact about Malta: It’s becoming the crypto-currency capital of the world. It is home to many online gambling sites.

Flights arrive at its tiny airport just minutes apart. You can almost smell the money pouring in. The skyline is full of giant, self-rising cranes. Across the street from the airport is a giant Microsoft office tower.

In all of Europe, they picked Malta? I’m just sayin’.

So why am I telling you all this? Because if you’d like to become a citizen of Malta, it’s really easy. All you have to do is give them a million dollars. And as a free bonus, you’ll receive a Maltese passport that will let you travel visa-free to 182 different countries.

Sweet deal, huh? It’s a country of about 400,000 people, so even if they add 1,000 new citizens this way, what difference is that going to make? And the country pockets a billion dollars. Well, maybe not the country, but somebody pockets

that money.

Maybe that’s something we should think about doing here.

But then, on second thought, who do you think is buying all those million-dollar passports? Law-abiding, upstanding citizens? Or could it be wellfunded terrorists, rich drug kingpins, arms dealers, scam artists and bribe-taking politicians?

One would think that most millionaires already have passports from the country in which they made all their money. Yes, lots of people have dual citizenship, but they usually don’t have to pay a million dollars for it.

It’s hard to think of a legitimate reason why anyone would want to buy a Maltese passport. And that got me thinking about people who have a lot of money. We tend to equate poor people and poor neighborhoods with high crime. When you hear about a convenience store that gets robbed of $75, or when there’s a car-jacking or a drug bust, it’s not usually done by the folks who live in the fanciest neighborhood in town.

But you know who does live in the fanciest neighborhoods in town? The “good” neighborhoods? The Bernie Madoffs, the Jeffrey Epsteins, the celebrity sex abusers, the guys that ran Enron, the doctors who over-

prescribed Oxycontin and the CEOs of the pharmaceutical companies that make it, the lawyers who file frivolous lawsuits, the government-subsidized corporate “farmers,” the largescale polluters, the tech wizards who sell your info to the highest bidders over and over again, the credit card company officers that let it happen, the too-big-tofail bankers, the corporate raiders, the alt-coin scam masters, the college admissions cheaters, the penny-pinching slumlords, the tax evaders, the money launderers, the fossil-fuel lobbyists, the unhappy trust-fund babies, the sleazy plastic surgeons who specialize in butt implants for teenagers, the Russian Mafiosi and the toxic TV execs. Just to name a few off the top of my head.

Without condoning it, I can understand why desperately poor people might make some poor life choices. What I can’t understand is why wealthy people make them. What is their excuse?

While it might sound like a good idea for us to offer citizenship for a million dollars a pop, I’m afraid it would attract the wrong sort of people. The ultra-wealthy.

Yes, Comey did leak classified information The new report from the Justice Department inspector general proves beyond any doubt that fired FBI Director James Comey leaked sensitive law enforcement material in the TrumpRussia investigation.

Doing so set Byron York a “dangerous example” for NEWSPAPER the bureau’s ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION other employees, Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote.

Still, Comey’s supporters have claimed exoneration on one front: that Comey did not leak classified information. Some reacted angrily when President Trump tweeted that Comey had done so. But Comey did, in fact, leak classified information.

It’s right there in the report. It wasn’t much classified information, and it was perhaps not terribly important, and Justice Department officials concluded it was not worth prosecuting.

But the fact is, Comey leaked

classified material.

Comey implicitly recognized as much even as he claimed vindication. In a tweet, Comey quoted the report, saying: “DOJ IG ‘found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media.’” To that, Comey added, “I don’t need a public apology from those who defamed me, but a quick message with a ‘sorry we lied about you’ would be nice.”

But the portion of the report Comey highlighted said he did not release classified information to members of the media.

That’s true; Comey, through his friend and lawyer Daniel Richman, leaked sensitive but unclassified law enforcement material to the media. But it’s also true that Comey leaked classified information to his lawyers. Comey gave classified information to people who were not authorized to receive it.

Comey wrote seven memos about his interactions with President Trump. In June 2017, the month after Comey was fired, the FBI checked the memos to see if any contained classified information. From the report: “The FBI deter-

mined that Memos 1 and 3 contained information classified at the ‘SECRET’ level, and that Memos 2 and 7 contained small amounts of information classified at the ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ level. The FBI designated Memos 4, 5, and 6 as unclassified ‘For Official Use Only.’”

Memo 4 was the one Comey leaked, through Richman, to The New York Times with the hope of setting off a firestorm that would result in the appointment of a special counsel.

The inspector general concluded the leak violated Justice Department and FBI policy, as well as Comey’s terms of employment. But it had no classified material in it.

The problem for Comey was Memo 2, which he sent to Richman and also to Comey’s two other lawyers, Patrick Fitzgerald and David Kelley.

“Of the memos Comey shared with his attorneys, Memo 2 contained six words that the FBI determined in June 2017 to be classified at the ‘CONFIDENTIAL’ level,” the inspector general report said.

In a footnote, the report added: “Four of the six words in Memo 2 that the FBI determined were classified were the names of for-

eign countries being discussed by the president. ... The president referenced the countries when he conveyed his personal views on the relative importance of promptly returning telephone calls from the leadership of the named countries.”

Comey, who as director was something known as an OCA, or Original Classification Authority, had the power to classify material on his own.

He did not classify Memo 2 at the time he wrote it, but an FBI team later determined it should have been classified. When the document was released to the public, portions were blacked out to reflect that classification.

Another indication of the material’s status as classified was that the FBI took extensive steps to remove it from the computers and devices of the three lawyers who received it. In June 2017 the FBI dispatched agents to Richman’s home to take away his desktop computer, returning it nine days later “after taking steps to permanently remove the memos from it,” the report said. Later, the FBI took steps to clean the other lawyers’ email accounts.

It was a lot of work.

New therapies offer hope to those who suffer from migraines Dear Doctor: I hate having migraines. The pain is brutal, they knock me down for days and everyone thinks I’m just having a bad headache. Why do they happen? Can you tell me about any new therapies?

Dear Reader: For anyone lucky enough to never have had a migraine, it’s much more than just a bad headache. Migraine is an extended, often debilitating full-body experience. Severe throbbing head pain is typically accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting. Other symptoms are extreme sensitivity to light, motion and sound.

A migraine can last for several hours or several days.

Many people also have a range of symptoms before an attack. Known as a migraine aura, it’s a cluster of visual, sensory and cognitive disturbances such as flashes of light, prickling sensations on the skin and lapses in speech or reasoning.

Migraines often conclude with a phase known as postdrome, sometimes known as a migraine hangover. Postdrome can include nausea, continued sensitivity to external stimuli, body aches, exhaustion and problems concentrating. In addition, studies show that individuals with chronic migraine are at higher risk of anxiety and depression.

Despite having been studied for at least 3,000 years, we still don’t have a definitive answer for what causes migraines in an estimated 3 billion people worldwide. It is known to be a complex neurological disorder, likely with a genetic component.

Women are three times more likely to suffer from migraines than men.

Behaviors known as “triggers” can launch a migraine. These include a skipped meal, irregular sleep, changes to caffeine intake and emotional or physical stress.

Foods associated with migraine include chocolate, fermented foods, aged cheeses, alcohol in general and red wine in particular. Birth control pills and antidepressants are also believed to have an effect on migraine frequency.

Unfortunately over-thecounter pain medications, which can provide relief, can also result in a “rebound” headache.

In the past, migraine patients relied on a variety of medications for relief, the majority of them created to treat other conditions.

These include antidepressants, hypertension medicines, Botox injections, opioids and a class of drugs called triptans. Vitamins and supplements such as vitamin B2, magnesium, Coenzyme Q10 and melatonin have proven helpful. And although aerobic exercise is known to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks, people who have regular migraines often feel too poorly to exercise regularly.

Most recently, a new class of drugs known as monoclonal antibodies, the first medications developed specifically for migraine sufferers, are offering hope.

The FDA approved three such treatments earlier this year.

Delivered via a monthly injection, they have been shown to reduce the number of migraine days in some patients by half.

They’re costly and don’t work for everyone, but it’s worth checking with your doctor to see if they might be right for you.

It is far easier to avoid gaining weight than to lose it, so getting kids to eat well and exercise is crucial. But how to do that effectively is extremely difficult _ and sensitive.

perts say a talk can be constructive, especially if the changes are going to be noticeable.

The key is to approach the subject with kindness and caring, and avoid blaming any of the child’s behaviors. Children should also understand that any changes would be intended to make them feel better, and not about how they look.

As uncomfortable as addressing the issue may seem, failure to do so may make a child feel worse if they’re being teased at school or feeling bad about themselves.

“In some ways, just to get it out there may be sort of a relief,” said Tommy Tomlinson, an author who recounted his lifelong struggle with weight in “The Elephant in the Room.”

MAKING CHANGES Any adjustments to meals and activities should involve the entire family, so children don’t feel singled out. This is tied to the belief that the most power-

ful way to help a child change their behavior is by setting an example.

Framing changes in a positive light is also key, Walsh said, whether that’s suggesting new recipes to try together or asking about activities they might be interested in.

“Keep things upbeat,” she said.

Then there is the matter of giving guidance on foods.

Parents might not like the idea of directing children to a dieting company’s app, especially since it gives older children the option to “upgrade” to a coaching service that costs $69 a month.

The company that now calls itself WW says the app is based on Stanford Children’s Health’s Weight Control Program, but views vary on the traffic-light system.

How much pot is in that brownie?

Chocolate can throw off tests

By Carla K. Johnson AP MEDICAL WRITER

How much marijuana is really in that pot brownie? Chocolate can throw off potency tests so labels aren’t always accurate, and now scientists are trying to figure out why.

In states where marijuana is legal, pot comes in cookies, mints, gummies, protein bars — even pretzels. These commercial products are labeled with the amount of high-inducing THC. That helps medical marijuana patients get the desired dose and other consumers attune their buzz.

But something about chocolate, chemists say, seems to interfere with potency testing.

A chocolate labeled as 10 milligrams of THC could have far more and send someone to the emergency room with hallucinations.

The latest research on chocolate, to be presented at a San Diego meeting this week, is one example of chemistry’s growing role in the marijuana industry. Besides chocolate’s quirks, chemists are working on extending shelf life, mimicking marijuana’s earthy aroma and making products safer.

The marijuana business is at a crossroads in its push for legitimacy. The federal government

still considers marijuana illegal, yet more than 30 U.S. states allow it for at least medical use.

Even in those states, there are no recognized standard methods for testing products for safety and quality.

Chemists working for marijuana companies and testing labs are developing those standards and some are legally protecting their ideas.

Scores of cannabis-related inventions have received U.S. patents, said Boston attorney Vincent Capuano, who holds a doctorate in organic chemistry.

Inventors have patented ways of putting cannabis into milk, coffee pods, ice pops and chewing gum.

“There’s a lot of flash and hipness, snake oil and marketing. But there’s still a lot of real chemical advance happening,” Capuano said of the industry.

“It’s right in center field for chemists.”

Marijuana contains hundreds of chemicals, including cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, a trendy ingredient with unproven health claims. Some pose challenges when they’re processed.

Chocolate is a good example.

“The chocolate itself is affecting our ability to measure the cannabinoids within it,” said David Dawson, chemist and lead researcher at CW Analytical

Chemist David Dawson displays various samples of marijuana while being interviewed at CW Analytical Laboratories in Oakland, Calif. Chemists are trying to solve a scientific mystery involving marijuana brownies. Chocolate seems to throw off test results for potency. That could be dangerous for consumers looking to relax, not hallucinate.

Laboratories in Oakland, California, which tests marijuana.

The more chocolate in the vial, the less accurate the test results, he found. He thinks some of the THC is clinging to the fat in chocolate, effectively hiding from the test.

Dawson’s research is on the agenda at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Diego. The conference includes 20 presentations about marijuana’s technical challenges, said Markus Roggen, a Vancouver, British Columbia-based chemist organizing the program. That’s a big change from a few years ago when presenters didn’t get much beyond the basics such as: “This is THC. This is CBD.” Some in the marijuana industry hold “a mythical belief in the goddess of cannabis,” Roggen

said, but chemists view marijuana more objectively. For its part, the industry is learning to accept the “new guard of scientists with a different approach to the plant,” he said.

Another focus of research is a group of chemicals called terpenes that give the marijuana plant its pungent aroma. Many terpenes get lost or changed in the process of making a THC or CBD extract. But users want a certain smell and taste, said chemist Jeffrey Raber.

Raber heads the Werc Shop, a Los Angeles company that mixes terpenes from lavender, oranges, black pepper and other plants to mimic the flavor and scent of cannabis varieties.

The mashups are sold to companies who add them to oils, tinctures and foods.

guess I’m mad at myself for not realizing how out of shape I have become.

What should I do?

— Photos Don’t Lie Dear Photos Don’t Lie: Consider this moment a wake-up call. It sounds like the last thing your sister meant to do was insult you, so don’t take it as that. Instead, envision yourself in that same dress 20 pounds lighter.

You were there only two years ago. With diet and exercise, you can get there again. Commit to exercising a minimum of three days a week. The easiest thing you can do is walk. You can walk at your own pace, preferably for 10,000 steps each day. You may also want to record everything you eat. Watch out for carbs, sugar and too much meat.

If you make your diet lean and low-calorie, you will begin to shave off the pounds. Good luck!

Dear Harriette: I have a friend whose husband is at least 20 years older than her. He is a nice man and has been lots of fun over the years, but now he is up in age and not doing so well.

Talking about age has

always been a sensitive topic for her. In the early years, it was because they had way more things than the rest of us because he was more advanced in his career and had money.

Now it is because he is not so healthy and uses a wheelchair. I want to be there for my friend, but I’m not sure how to get past her impenetrable wall of privacy.

— Support My Friend Dear Support My Friend: Since your friend has been private all along, chances are slim that she is suddenly going to open up. That said, you can make it clear that you want to help her in any way that you can. Invite her out, just the two of you, and try to get her to talk a bit about her life as you share what’s going on in yours. State the obvious: You have noticed that her husband is a wheelchair user and doesn’t seem to be in great health. Ask if she needs any support.

Missouri, said it can be an easy way to understand a complicated topic. Experts say the system can help adults eat better as well.

But Kaitlin Reid, a registered dietitian at UCLA, said it’s a way of classifying foods as good and bad, which should be avoided.

Seeing any foods as bad might result in feeling guilty whenever eating them.

WHAT TO AVOID When Tomlinson was 11 or 12, he was taken to a doctor who gave him diet pills. Few health professionals would do that today, and there’s broad agreement on other mistakes to avoid.

Using the word “diet,” for example, could imply there’s something wrong with the child, and that the changes are short-term.

Trying to scare children by warning them about potential medical problems isn’t helpful either.

And if parents are making broader lifestyle changes, they shouldn’t feel the need to intervene or scold every time a child reaches for a sweet.

“Guilt and blame are not good motivators for change,” said Stephen Pont, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas Dell Medical School. By the same token, experts say parents should avoid making negative comments.

L-P graduates lead IVCC tennis to win

Guerrero hits hole in one Tom Guerreo, of Utica, recently made a hole in one at Spring Creek Golf Course in Spring Valley.

He aced the 132-yard seventh hole with an 8 iron Bryon Stone, Jeremy Untz and Lori Untz witnessed the shot.

Elliott, Cowboys agree to $90 million, six-year extension FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Ezekiel Elliott was finishing the early stretching at the first practice since ending his long holdout with the Dallas Cowboys when the star running back was called to the front of the group.

Cheers rose from teammates before Elliott led a brief set of jumping jacks to get the workout moving again.

The two-time NFL rushing champion is back with the Cowboys thanks to a new $90 million, six-year extension that makes Elliott the highest-paid player at his position — and just in time for the regular season. Dallas hosts the New York Giants on Sunday.

Elliott said the support from teammates on display for reporters was the same thing he was getting behind the scenes since the Cowboys flew to California for camp without him July 25.

Elliott will get $50 million guaranteed. The $15 million-per-year average on the extension surpasses the $14.4 million Todd Gurley got from the Los Angeles Rams last summer. Gurley’s guarantee was $45 million.

Judge continues surge NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge hit a go-ahead, two-run homer to keep up his power resurgence, Gleyber Torres added his 34th home run and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 4-1 to move 43 games over .500 for the first time since 2009.

Judge is hitting .317 with eight homers and 12 RBIs in his last 15 games. He connected off Lance Lynn (14-10) in the third inning to become the fifth Yankees player with 20 homers this season.

Torres homered in the fourth, tying Gary Sanchez for the team lead and joining Joe DiMaggio as the only Yankees to hit 34 homers at age 22 or younger. The home run was the 200th off the Rangers this season.

Tigers excited for opportunity Pillar’s home run in to prove themselves in Week 2 eighth sinks St. Louis

By Brandon LaChance

NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS WRITER

Every week in a prep football season is important.

It’s just unusual for a non-conference game in Week 2 to be this significant.

Princeton heads to Sterling at 7 p.m. Saturday to play Three Conference Rivers crossover foe Newman. Both teams are ranked as the Tigers are No. 7 in Class 3A and Newman is No. 5 in 2A. Every player in a PHS jersey has had this game circled since IHSA released the schedule.

“My freshman year we lost to Newman 46-0 and my sophomore year we lost 40-0. That’s 86-0 in the last two years,” Tigers junior running back Ronde Worrels said.

“Our mindset going into this game is, ‘We’re going to beat these guys this year.’ We can’t lose anymore.

We’re focused right now. We’re ready to play. Saturday can’t come any sooner.”

ST. LOUIS — Kevin Pillar is enjoying every minute of his career season.

The Giants outfielder had four hits, including a go-ahead, tworun homer in the eighth inning, and San Francisco rallied to cool off the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8 Wednesday night.

“Every time I hit one, it’s still special,” Pillar said. “They all feel like my first.”

Brandon Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski also homered for San Francisco, which snapped a four-game losing streak.

Paul Goldschmidt drove in four runs and Paul DeJong homered for St. Louis, which lost for just the fourth time in 18 games.

St. Louis remained 2 1/2 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.

Pillar had three RBIs. He hit a two-run homer off Giovanny Gallegos in the eighth.

“I’ve been able to do it more

frequently this year,” Pillar said.

“It’s the same feeling I’ve always wanted to have, always dreamed about doing since I was a little kid.”

Pillar’s 21st homer is well ahead of his previous best of 16 in 2017 with the Blue Jays. He has 79 RBIs, 20 more than his prior best last year with Toronto.

“A lot of times his (hits) are in big situations,” Crawford said. “He’s been huge for us this year.”

A seven-year veteran, Pillar also singled in the third, fifth and sixth innings.

Will Smith recorded four outs for his 31st save in 35 chances.

He struck out Goldschmidt with the tying run at third to end the eighth, then punched out Harrison Bader with two on to end the game.

The Giants were able to fight back after surrendering 4-0 and 7-4 leads.

TRANSACTIONS BASEBALL American League BOSTON RED SOX — Recalled LHP Bobby Poyner and RHPs Colten Brewer, Trevor Kelley and Mike Shawaryn from Pawtucket (IL).

NEW YORK — Rafael Nadal kept pulling away in his U.S. Open quarterfinal, then getting reeled back in by Diego Schwartzman.

In the first set, Nadal led 4-0 before Schwartzman got to 4-all.

In the second, Nadal went up 5-1 before Schwartzman made it 5-all.

Took more than two hours just for those two sets. Eventually, both were claimed by Nadal. And so, ultimately, was the match and a berth in a 33rd Grand Slam semifinal for Nadal, who prevented Schwartzman from reaching his first by winning 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 after 12:30 a.m. Thursday in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

“Like a lion in the ... jungle. He’s big. He’s a fighter. He knows how to play the important moments, every single time,” Schwartzman said. “I’ve played him eight times and every important moment, he played better than me.”

No wonder Nadal is 8-0 against the guy.

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are both out of the bracket, but Nadal is still around, meaning at least one member of the Big Three is in the semis at a 62nd consecutive major tournament. That trio has combined to win the last 11 Slam trophies — and Nadal is going to be heavily favored to make that 12.

None of the other men left has played in a major final, let alone won one. Nadal, though, is closing in on a fourth championship at the U.S. Open and his 19th at all majors, which would move him within only one of Federer’s record for men.

On Friday, Nadal will play No. 24 Matteo Berrettini, a 23-yearold from Rome who is Italy’s first male semifinalist in New York since 1977. Berrettini barely got there, edging No. 13 Gael

Monfils 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (5) on Wednesday.

The other men’s semifinal will be No. 5 Daniil Medvedev of Russia vs. 78th-ranked Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.

In the women’s semifinals Thursday, Serena Williams meets No. 5 Elina Svitolina of Ukraine, and No. 13 Belinda Bencic of Switzerland takes on No. 15 Bianca Andreescu of Canada.

Dimitrov won a five-setter Tuesday night against Federer, who was hampered by an issue with his upper back. Medvedev won his quarterfinal in four sets against Stan Wawrinka, who had built a big lead in the fourth round against Djokovic when the defending champion stopped because of pain in his left shoulder.

A year ago, it was Nadal whose body broke down: He retired from his semifinal against runner-up Juan Martin del Potro because of a bad knee.

This time, on a muggy night with the humidity above 50%, the left-hander raised some concern by having a trainer come out to rub a cream into that forearm during a changeover early in the third set. At the next changeover, Nadal flexed his right forearm and was visited again by the trainer, took a salt pill and guzzled some drinks, then shook that arm between points in the following game.

Afterward, Nadal said he had dealt with cramps late in the second set and early in the third.

“And then I took some salt, that’s all, and then it was over.

The body is in good shape, I think. Not big problems,” Nadal said. “Just, of course, a little tired.

Long day.”

Still, Nadal managed to play his best when it mattered the most against the 20th-seeded Schwartzman, an Argentine serenaded by loud choruses of “Ole! Ole! Ole! Ole!” by an audience that included former San Antonio Spurs star Manu Ginobili.

CINCINNATI REDS — Placed INF/C Kyle Farmer on 10day IL. Recalled INF/OF Jose Peraza from Louisville (IL).

COLORADO ROCKIES — Recalled RHP DJ Johnson from Albuquerque (PCL).

Nadal came up with a service break in the last game of each of the opening two sets, then the last one he would need made it 4-2 in the third and he broke yet again to end it.

“I don’t know how,” Schwartzman said, “but this guy is improving every time.”

Now Nadal becomes Berrettini’s problem.

Berrettini describes his mental coach as a big help and a best friend. They’ve been speaking on the phone before and after every match. And they certainly had plenty to chat about when it came to this latest victory.

Berrettini double-faulted away his initial match point and then needed four more to finally put away Monfils after nearly four hours.

“He told me, ‘I need to thank you, because I thought that everyone is born once and dies once.

But during that match, I was born and died 15 or 16 times,’” Berrettini said about his conversation with the mental coach he’s worked with for several years. “I collapsed and got back up. I collapsed and got back up.

That match point. Those other chances. I was down then I came back. It’s a great source of pride for me.”

In truth, the denouement was hardly a thing of beauty, with both men, clearly spent, fighting themselves and the tension of the moment as much as the guy on the other side of the net.

Monfils finished with 17 double-faults but managed to avoid any throughout the entire, exhausting fifth set until he served at 6-5 — and then he had three in that game, plus another two in the deciding tiebreaker, often doubling over between points to rest and catch his breath.

“A very bad day for me, serving,” Monfils said.

Berrettini acknowledged the obvious afterward, too, saying he felt “a little bit tight.”

We want to be as balanced offensively as we can,� Pearson said. “We’re going to lean toward what’s working and having more success in the game, but I think we have the capabilities to run the ball effectively and to be a great passing team also. “Having that balance makes it a little tougher for a defense to prepare for us. They can’t just stack the box and try to stop the run because then we can throw it. And vice versa, they can’t send everyone deep and take away the pass game because then we’ll

STOPPING MCBRIDE Worrels will not be the only all-conference caliber running back on the field Saturday.

Senior Connor McBride rushed for 1,000 yards last season and kicked off his final prep campaign with 75 yards on 13 carries, a 48-yard rushing touchdown, a 78-yard kickoff return TD and a 19-yard chain-moving catch in a 20-6 Week 1 victory over Hall.

Pearson and the Tigers know they need to know where he is at all times — on offense and defense. “I think McBride is a very good football player offensively and defensively,� Pearson said. “Throw in special teams and he’s a kid they’re going to rely on.

He’s one of the experienced kids they have from last year. He saw a lot of key minutes for them as a junior on a quarterfinal team. “We will need to know where he is at all times. He ended up breaking loose for a couple of big plays against Hall. Our kids understand he has the capabilities of doing that at anytime in the

MEASURING STICK Everyone knows this game is big, even the coaches.

Kreczmer realizes Week 2 is big in terms of his team improving. “We don’t really talk about winning and losing, especially in Week 2,� Kreczmer said. “I think Princeton is going to be one of the better teams we face all season. They’re ranked in Class 3A, so they’re a bigger school than us. For coaches, Week 1 to Week 2, we really want to see a big jump. “It would be nice to win but as long as we see improvements from Week 1 to Week 2, Week 2 isn’t really going to matter later on in the season. We just want to see steady improvement from a young team.�

On the other hand, Pearson believes this is a showcase for his team to prove to itself that the Tigers are for real this season. “This is a great opportunity

It shows all of the hard work they put in during the offseason â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the weight room, all the running and everything else we do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our kids are excited for it and are ready to play Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

Worrels likes the fact PHS is playing a team with Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation early on.

He feels each hard fought game is preparing them for the next. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is one of the biggest games of the season,â&#x20AC;? Worrels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started the season tough. Fulton smacked us a little bit. They played hard and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we like to see. When our opponent plays hard, that gets us ready for the next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go. We know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big game and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to play.â&#x20AC;?

MLB: INDIANS 8, WHITE SOX 6

Mercadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running catch helps Cleveland hold off Sox

By Brian Dulik

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oscar Mercadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular running catch saved the game for the Cleveland Indians. It also might have saved their season.

The rookie made a leaping, backhanded grab of Eloy Jimenezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive to center field with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning, allowing the Indians to escape with an 8-6 win over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the greatest catch Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we needed it at

that moment,â&#x20AC;? designated hitter Franmil Reyes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of catch with the bases loaded, it got the whole dugout pumped up. It was very impressive.â&#x20AC;?

White Sox manager Rick Renteria agreed, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously that young man in center field, Mercado, made a great catch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably one of the best catches Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen.â&#x20AC;?

Cleveland had built an 8-2 advantage in the eighth before Jose Abreu and Tim Anderson each hit two-run homers, the latter off All-Star closer Brad Hand.

Nick Wittgren entered to face Jimenez, who hit a rocket to-

ward the deepest part of the ballpark but was left speechless and smiling as he tipped his cap to Mercado after the play. Wittgren then struck out Ryan Goins to end the 3 hour, 54 minute game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like I had a pretty good jump on that ball, but it was so much on a line, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if I was going to have the time to get to it,â&#x20AC;? said Mercado, who also had three hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was high, so I just went for it. Thankfully, I got it.â&#x20AC;?

The Indians, who had dropped four of their previous five games, remain in a battle with Tampa Bay and Oakland for the two

American League wild-card berths despite losing third baseman Jose Ramirez and outfielder Tyler Naquin to season-ending injuries.

Right-hander Shane Bieber (13-7) struck out nine and allowed two runs over seven innings, winning for the first time in five starts since Aug. 9. The All-Star Game MVP exited with a six-run lead, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exhale until Wittgren locked up his fourth save. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That catch was incredible,â&#x20AC;?

Bieber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really believe it, so I threw my hands up and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Holy smokes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

know if it looked better on the field or on television, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been facing adversity all year and Oscar really picked us up tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Reyes hit a two-run homer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his 34th of the season and his seventh since being acquired from San Diego â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and rookie Yu Chang had two singles and drove in a pair of runs. Reyes is batting .400 with five homers and 15 RBIs over his last 12 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Josey (Ramirez) out of the middle of the lineup, if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be that threat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to help us,â&#x20AC;? Cleveland manager Terry Francona said.

Ottawa sets 3% tax on adult-use cannabis

By Brad Spelich

WAJK REPORTER/ANCHOR FOR THE NEWSTRIBUNE

OTTAWA — You can count Ottawa among the cities looking to capture some additional money from the legalization of marijuana.

The Ottawa City Council voted Tuesday night to approve a 3% tax on adult-use cannabis. City Attorney Christina Cantlin said the tax wouldn’t take effect until October of next year, despite the fact that legal sales in the

state can begin Jan. 1. She went on to say an additional bill on the state level may move up when the city can begin collecting the tax.

Mayor Dan Aussem said the tax needed to be approved this month. He also reached out to other communities surrounding Ottawa, encouraging them to pass similar measures.

The city is considering the best way to handle adult-use cannabis sales in Ottawa when legalization kicks in the first of the year.

Moore also said three part-time police candidates passed the power test and gun test. With two possessing a security background, he expressed confidence in their ability to use and field radio calls.

Additionally, he stated that he has received another application, which seems promising; and hopes to arrange an interview with board members soon. ä Trustee Robert Fescenmeyer noted that various hedges in the village may pose blind spots for drivers, particularly at Main and High streets and Main and School streets.

These concerns will be explored further. ä The board approved the 2019-20 budget.
