Kinzinger balks at Trump impeachment Congressman: If there’s any impropriety there we need to know

By Derek Barichello SHAW MEDIA AND THE NEWSTRIBUNE STAFF

Congressman Adam Kinzinger said Tuesday he is reserving judgment until more information is released whether President Donald Trump used his presi-

dential powers to seek help from a foreign government for his re-election.

In a Fox News interview Monday, Kinzinger said if Trump did, he doesn’t believe it rises to the level of impeachment.

“But it is highly inappropriate if it was done,” the Channahon

Republican said, adding “there’s a lot we don’t know and that’s why I hope the transcript of the call (in question) is released.”

Kinzinger’s comments on Fox News were made on the eve of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launching a formal impeachment inquiry against Trump on

Tuesday. The probe centers on whether Trump abused his presidential powers and sought help from Ukraine for his re-election.

Pelosi said such actions would mark a “betrayal of his oath of office” and declared, “No one is above the law,” according to Associated Press reports.

Prior to Pelosi’s news conference, Kinzinger’s office shared a written statement Tuesday that “Congressman Kinzinger looks forward to reviewing the transcript, which will be released by the president (Wednesday), and See IMPEACH Page A2

Have you been to Princeton lately? If so, you might have noticed it can be tough to find a parking space on the weekends.

Summer sales totals aren’t in yet — the Department of Revenue won’t issue full-season figures until after Thanksgiving — but retail sales were up 7% in Princeton through June 30, the most recent figures available. Princeton has been marketing itself as a day-trip destination and it’s paying off.

“We’re having a very good year,” said Gary Bruce, owner of Bruce Jewelers. “Our business is up 25% this year.”

Bruce has some unique circumstances working his favor — he’s picked up market share at the expense of folding department stores — but, overall, Princeton retailers are singing a similar tune.

And one of the reasons is retreating fuel prices. Day-trippers likely would be day-skippers if gas were skyrocketing, but current prices and Princeton’s parking crunch suggests fuel is no impediment for tourists.

Mayor Joel Quiram confirmed the success of a marketing campaign begun two years ago when Princeton launched an ad campaign on Quad Cities television but also acknowledged that fuel See GAS Page A2

NEW YORK (AP) — Due to climate change, the world’s oceans are getting warmer, rising higher, losing oxygen and becoming more acidic at an ever-faster pace and melting even more ice and snow, a grim international science assessment concludes.

FBI agents raid Illinois state senator’s home, offices

By John O’Connor and Michael Tarm ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — FBI agents carried materials in bankers’ boxes and grocery bags out of the Illinois Capitol building on Tuesday, and multiple media outlets reported that and other raids were linked to a Democratic state senator.

FBI spokesman John Althen said the agents were in the building for “law enforcement activity” but declined to elaborate.

Multiple media outlets reported that the raids were conducted at Sen. Martin Sandoval’s Capitol office in Springfield, his district office in the Chicago suburb of Cicero and his Chicago home.

The Chicago Tribune reported that a man who answered the door at

Sandoval’s home said he was not home.

The suite door to Sandoval’s office would not open when an Associated Press reporter tried to enter at around the time the raid was taking place. Attempts to reach Sandoval by phone were unsuccessful.

Several men in dark suits and ties could be seen walking from the Senate Democrats’ side of the Capitol, carrying the bags and boxes of materials. The word “evidence” could be seen written across at least one of the bags.

Sandoval, 55, has served in the Senate since 2003, representing a district on Chicago’s southwest side.

He is chairman of the powerful Transportation Committee and was a driving force behind a 19-cents-a-gallon increase

costs have stayed below a psychological threshold that might otherwise deter motorists from hitting the road.

“There is a threshold where you’ll see people affected by the gas prices and I think $3.25 to $3.50 could be the beginning of a down-tick in those daily excursions,” he said.

Gas hasn’t exactly been dirtcheap in summer 2019, helped in no way when Springfield in-

in the gas tax to help fund Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s $45 billion capital construction plan to rebuild roads, bridges and schools.

Republicans criticized him in August when a photo from a fundraiser appeared on social media showing what appeared to be a mock assassination of President Donald Trump.

Sandoval later said neither he nor his staff was aware that an entertainment vendor had a beverage dispenser shaped like a rifle and pointed it at someone wearing a Trump mask.

He expressed “my deepest regret that this unfortunate incident took place at (an) event in my name.”

It wasn’t clear whether Sandoval’s work on the gas tax plan or his fundraiser had anything to do with the raids.

creased the state gas tax by 19 cents starting July 1. But while we hovered briefly at the $3-per-gallon mark around the Fourth of July — and this on the heels of $2 a gallon after Christmas — as of Tuesday the median gas price was about $2.56 per gallon.

“People are paying about what they were a year ago,” Bruce said, and data from gasbuddy. com back him up. Take away the summer swells and winter lulls in fuel costs and our at-the-pump prices are roughly unchanged since May 2015.

Motorists seem to be availing themselves of affordable fuel.

he will reserve judgment until such information is brought to light.”

Kinzinger added it is “deeply concerning to see Democrats jump ahead of the facts to satiate their desire for impeachment proceedings to begin,” noting impeachment is a serious charge and not to be taken lightly.

At issue are Trump’s actions with Ukraine.

In a summer phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, he is said to have asked for help investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. In the days before the call, Trump ordered advisers to freeze $400 million in military aid for Ukraine — prompting speculation he was holding out the money as leverage for information on the Bidens. Trump has denied that charge, but acknowledged he blocked the funds, later released.

Trump says he has

By several measures, Illinoisans have been hitting the road this summer and spending in a way that suggests gas is no impediment. Ç Starved Rock and Matthiessen state parks have drawn a combined 2 million visitors through Aug. 30, putting both on pace for near-record attendance figures for the year.

Clearly, fuel costs are no obstacle to visits. Ç Of seven communities surveyed, six have broken at least one monthly sales figure, and the list of cities includes not only Princeton but Utica, which is as

reliant on motorists and, by extension, fuel costs. The lone exception proves the rule: La Salle might not have toppled any records, but its surging downtown took its June sales figures to a 10year (though not all-time) high. Ç Summer 2019 is believed to be among the most-traveled seasons ever.

A little bit of Endless embarrassment summer goes a long way Principal takes dare for breast cancer research

By Brett Herrmann

NEWSTRIBUNE REPORTER

If you’re at the St. Bede vs.

Hall football game on Friday and notice a man with a pink beard on the sidelines, it won’t be your imagination.

Hall principal Adam Meyer could have to dye his beard pink, wear a pink devil outfit and perform the school fight song with Hall’s cheerleaders and Devilettes if enough money is raised by the community to help fight breast cancer.

“I can handle doing some embarrassing things if it’s for a good cause — and this is a good cause,” Meyer said.

The show is part of a fundraising effort to support Diane de Jong and Hall students Jacob Wilson, Violet Hurtado and Faith de Jong to walk in the Susan G. Komen Foundation 3-Day — a 60-mile walk taking place in Philadelphia.

“It’s been a lot of training,” Diane de Jong said. “It’s a 20-mile day,” There are various walks across the United States, and 75 percent of the proceeds support Susan G. Komen’s Research and Training Grant Program and large public health outreach programs for women and men facing breast cancer, according to the website.

The other 25% supports community outreach programs.

“There is a team of four of us and each of us has to raise $2,300 to walk,” Diane de Jong said. “I know a lot of friends of mine that have passed away from breast cancer and some friends are still battling. It affects everyone you talk to.”

Fundraising efforts have been going on since about June through various ventures. The group has been involved with local businesses and community members in raising funds, but one thing suggested by the Susan G. Komen Foundation was to find a local face to help bring awareness to the effort. And that’s where Meyer comes in.

“One of the things they recommended was getting someone prominent in the community to help,” de Jong said.

So they sent an email saying they needed his help spelling out the details of the plan. Meyer said he did not have any reservations about the efforts other than one question he sent back concerning his beard.

“My only question was ‘Is the dye permanent?’” he said.

So far it appears the group is going to hit the $5,000 goal to get Meyer to complete all off the tasks at Friday’s game. They teamed up with the Hall Booster Organization to sell pink T-shirts fans can wear to the game and have been promised a $1,500 donation if the Facebook fundraiser reaches $3,500, which they expect to happen.

But does any of this make Meyer nervous about performing the school fight song in front of a packed house at Richard Nesti Stadium?

“My wife has been asking me if I’m going to practice and I said I think I’ve seen it enough going to games and coaching over the years,” Meyer said.

TO HELP Both Hall and St. Bede fans are welcome to wear pink to Friday’s game in support of breast cancer research. To contribute to the Facebook campaign, visit https://www.facebook.com/donate/582383955625498/.

Soon, you won’t have to worry about having your car falling over the ravine along the shoulder of Route 251 south of Shooting Park Road. Crews work at the base of the piers that have been installed to hold back the edge of the roadway from sinking. When completed, the ground holding up the road where it crosses a deep ravine will have a re-graded slope, and the highway will have a rebuilt shoulder. Traffic was still down to one lane in the construction zone this week, however. The location has been a problem spot for 30 years, and Illinois Department of Transportation is hoping this $2 million corrective project will provide a more permanent solution.

A second Democrat has announced a bid for La Salle County state’s attorney, ensuring a primary contest on March 17.

Mendota attorney Todd Martin announced his bid to replace Republican incumbent Karen Donnelly as La Salle County’s top prosecutor. First, however, Martin needs to fend off Peru attorney and fellow Democrat Brian Vescogni, who declared his candidacy earlier this month.

Martin pledged to rebuild relationships with local police to ensure that there is confidence in decisions that are made by the office.

“I believe that the role of the state’s Martin attorney is to keep county residents secure both from crime and financially as taxpayers,” he said in a Tuesday statement. “I am the only candidate who has the necessary experience and ability to accomplish this task.

A good prosecutor knows when not to charge crimes because of the lack of evidence. Experience does matter.”

Martin earned his law degree in 1994 from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Mich. He had two stints with the La Salle County state’s attorney’s office, first working under former state’s attorneys Joe Navarro and Mike James from 1994-1998. He then returned in 2007 when Brian Towne eliminated the post of first assistant and created the twin posts of chief deputy. Martin supervised the office’s felony caseload while Vescogni handled the drug cases.

During Martin’s tenure with Towne, seven people were convicted of murder or companion charges including Streator killers James Alvarado and Randall Jennings, Seneca double-murderer Keith Mackowiak and five people charged in Darrio Hunter’s murder in Ottawa.

In between stints at the prosecutor’s office, Martin was an associate with what was then Herbolsheimer, Lannon, Henson, Duncan and Reagan in La Salle.

During that time, Herbolsheimer represented La Salle County in insurance defense-related matters.

Martin, 53, was born and raised in Mendota and graduated from Mendota High School and Illinois Valley Community College before earning a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University. He lives in Mendota and has two children.

Planning to retire on your 65th birthday? We didn’t think so you turn 65, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B), and your Medicare card will arrive before your 65th birthday.

Your Part B premium will be automatically deducted from your Social Security payments. If you don’t want Medicare Part B, notify Medicare to opt out.

Many wait to claim Social Security until their 66th birthday or later to increase their monthly payments. If you fall into this group but still want Medicare coverage when you turn 65, it’s up to you to enroll because it won’t happen automatically.

(BPT) - The traditional notion of retirement - a switch from full-time work to full-time leisure - is becoming a thing of the past for millions of Americans. In fact, according to a recent UnitedHealthcare survey (conducted by WakeďŹ eld Research on behalf of UnitedHealthcare) of 1,000 nationally representative Americans 62 and older, 24% of those who did retire chose to re-enter the workforce.

Delaying retirement or returning to work may influence your Medicare decisions. Here are some points to keep in mind if you plan to continue working past your 65th birthday

But if you delay beyond eight months, you could pay more for your Part B premium - for as long as you have Part B.

When people sign up for Medicare, many also choose to enroll in a private Medicare plan - either a Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C).

Many Medicare Advantage plans provide additional benefits beyond those of Original Medicare (Parts A and B), such as dental, hearing and vision coverage. Most plans also bundle in prescription drug coverage and ďŹ tness or gym programs.

But the window to sign up for these plans is shorter than for Part B - only two months. To avoid a lapse in coverage, time your enrollment accordingly.

Getting a grip on essential tremor for a new beginning

(BPT) - Hit the alarm.

Get dressed.

Tie your shoes.

Drink coffee.

Eat breakfast.

Imagine for a moment not being able to do this morning routine because your hand is shaking, and you can’t make it stop.

These everyday tasks that we take for granted are very diďŹƒcult for an estimated 10 million Americans living with essential tremor (ET). ET is the most common movement disorder, causing involuntary shaking in dierent parts of the body, but most often affecting the hands. The physical and emotional effects of ET take their toll not only on patients but on their family and friends as well. Jodi Meyer has been aected by it for 18 years.

As the mother of three children, her essential tremor made it very diďŹƒcult for her to care for her family.

Preparing meals, putting on her daughter’s makeup for her cheer competitions or pouring a glass of milk was almost impossible to do with her hand shaking uncontrollably. “I would love to cuddle with my children ... and not think ... are they uncomfortable because of the shaking?�

who rely on you, the dynamic changes. Karen Dopher has always been the caregiver for her family.

She took care of her husband during his battle with cancer and came when her son called and said, “I need you,� during his double lung transplant. Her role as caregiver for her family was challenging as her ET became more severe. There were days when she was not able to cook or draw with her granddaughter.

Precise work-related tasks are another problem for people with ET. Electronics technician Gregg Ley struggled with the day-to-day duties of his profession which required excellent motor skills to work with nuts, bolts and other tools. “I couldn’t put a Phillips screwdriver on a screw.� Ley lived with ET for over 20 years, with the condition worsening over time. When the medications prescribed by his neurologist stopped working, Ley’s wife, Cathy, began researching treatment options for his tremor online.

Learn about the symptoms of essential tremor Does your tremor occur when your hands are at rest or during movement? Essential tremor is characterized by an “action tremor,� occurring when attempting to do a task. Parkinson’s disease is characterized by a “rest tremor,� present when no muscle is being used.

ET can aect people at any age, but it is most common among those 50 years of age and older. There are medications prescribed to treat essential tremor, and often, after one medication fails, a second will be tried and then possibly a combination of medications.

They are only eective for 35-50% of patients according to an article published in Neurology November 2011.

developing the condition yourself according to the Mayo Clinic.

Is your handwriting large and shaky? While large and shaky handwriting is a hallmark sign of ET, slow and small handwriting is usually seen with Parkinson’s disease.

Does your tremor worsen in certain situations?

Patients report that stress, fatigue and caeine can cause their tremor to be more pronounced.

A neurologist who specializes in movement disorders should be consulted for diagnosis and to discuss treatment options.

Is There Anything More Important Than Family?

One key distinguishing factor is that tremors from ET occur during an action, while tremor from Parkinson’s disease is usually when the hands are at rest.

While the only symptom with ET is tremor, Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative condition that presents with other symptoms besides tremor.

While essential tremor is not fatal, it can take away a person’s independence, self-esteem and the freedom to live an active lifestyle.

During the focused ultrasound treatment, sound waves pass safely through the skull to heat a precise target deep in the brain that is responsible for the tremor.

AP ANALYSIS

AP FACT CHECK

Trump sees few limits in bid for re-election

Trump’s twisted reality on guns, environment

By Julie Pace

AP WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF

WASHINGTON (AP) — In 2016, Donald Trump blew through the guardrails of American politics. In his bid for reelection, he’s poised to blow them up.

This time around, he’s aided by the power of the presidency, with its unmatched megaphone and resources. And his latest provocation — prodding a foreign leader to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden — suggests he sees little issue using his office for his personal political interests.

His actions foreshadow a noholds-barred 2020 campaign, regardless of who Democrats select as their nominee in the coming months. If the lesson of Trump’s 2016 victory was that deeply personal attacks and factually inaccurate innuendo are a pathway to victory, his 2020 playbook appears to include more of the same.

Democrats are more cleareyed about the effectiveness of those tactics, but still deeply uncertain over the best approach — and the best candidate — to blunt them. Fight back against Trump and risk running a campaign on his terms and elevating his baseless attacks. Ignore him and allow his arguments to percolate unchecked through the conservative media ecosystem.

Democrats concede he is jarringly effective at dictating the terms of the political debate and throwing his opponents off stride.

“Donald Trump’s greatest political skill is the ability to pull people into his vortex of terribleness where you spend all day every day responding to Trump’s outrage du jour and defending yourself from absurd, baseless accusations,” said Dan Pfeiffer, an Obama campaign and White House adviser.

That’s where Biden finds himself at the moment, answering questions about his son Hunter’s work for a Ukrainian gas company at the same time his father was leading American diplomatic efforts to help the country’s fledgling government. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either man, and Hunter Biden is no longer working for the company. Yet Joe Biden still spent a weekend of campaigning in Iowa deflecting questions about the matter and urging reporters to focus their attention back on Trump.

“Ask the right questions,” he bellowed when asked by a reporter how many times he had spoken to his son about his overseas business dealings.

To be sure, Trump’s appeal to Ukraine’s president may ultimately create political problems for the president. The matter is part of a whistleblower complaint the administration is withholding from Congress, citing presidential privilege.

Congressional Democrats, who have already been stymied by the White House in numerous investigations, are outraged and many members are renewing calls for impeachment.

California Rep. Adam Schiff, the intelligence committee chairman who has so far resisted impeachment efforts, said Sunday that Trump’s actions “may very well have crossed the Rubicon here.”

William Barr on Capitol Hill would require background checks on all commercial gun sales, including at gun shows.

Trump told reporters the plan was one of many ideas under consideration and he would go “very slowly.”

He and White House aides have discussed a number of gun control measures with lawmakers, including steps to go after fraudulent buyers, notify state and local law enforcement when a potential buyer fails a background check, issue state-level emergency risk protection orders, boost mental health assistance and speed up executions for those convicted of mass shootings.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have told Trump that gun-control legislation must include the House-passed bill to expand background checks, saying that any other proposal could leave open dangerous loopholes.

CLIMATE STEVEN MNUCHIN, secretary of the Treasury: “We are very focused on clean air, clean water ...The U.S. technology has made major progress in these areas.”

— interview Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

TRUMP: “You know right now we have the cleanest air that we have ever had in this country?”

— New Mexico rally on Sept. 16.

THE FACTS: They’re incorrect.

Air quality hasn’t improved under the Trump administration and dozens of nations have less smoggy air than the U.S. As to water quality, one measure, Yale University’s global Environmental Performance Index, finds the U.S. tied with nine other countries as having the cleanest drinking water.

But after decades of improvement, progress in air quality has stalled . Over the last two years the U.S. had more polluted air days than just a few years earlier, federal data show.

There were 15% more days with unhealthy air in America both last year and the year before than there were on average from 2013 through 2016, the four years when the U.S had its fewest number of those days since at least 1980.

The nonprofit Health Effects Institute’s State of Global Air 2019 report ranked the United States 37th dirtiest out of 195 countries for ozone, also known as smog, worse than the global average for population-weighted pollution. Countries such as Britain, Japan, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Albania, Cuba, Russia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Canada have less smoggy air. The U.S. ranks eighth cleanest on the more deadly category of fine particles in the air.

Advice for Biden: Focus on issues, not tales

One big problem with the early Democratic primaries, I told somebody the other day, isn’t so much that Iowa and New Hampshire are virtually all white. It’s that New Hampshire’s right next door to Massachusetts — land of brainy Gene Lyons Democratic losers.

NEWSPAPER Every failed ENTERPRISE ASSOCIATION Democratic presidential candidate since 1988 got a head start in New Hampshire: Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, Al Gore and Hillary Clinton (who won in 2008 but lost to Bernie Sanders in 2016). All except Bernie either grew up or went to college around Boston: Ivy League intellectuals, every one.

When I tell people I fear that Elizabeth Warren could turn out to be Michael Dukakis in a pant-suit, that’s what I’m talking about. So it’s a surprise to learn from Michael Tomasky’s excellent Daily Beast column that the progressive heroine

actually trails Joe Biden in Massachusetts by 26% to 24%.

According to the Suffolk University survey, Sanders is running a distant third, at 8 percent. That’d be 40 points down from his 2016 second-place finish. Things are closer up in New Hampshire, but Bernie’s losing ground to Elizabeth Warren almost everywhere else. The angry old man act has finally worn thin. Warren has basically taken Sanders’ issues and put a smiley face on them.

However, for a Massachusetts senator to be polling almost even with Joe Biden in her home state appears to show two things: Democrats’ determination to defeat Donald Trump above all else, and serious doubts among her own constituents about Warren’s ability to do so. Are Americans really pre-pared to make any Harvard professor, particularly one of the female persuasion, their president? Can she pass the commander-in-chief test?

I have to say I can’t picture it.

Of course I’m an old white man myself, although I’d vote for Sen. Amy Klobuchar in a heart-beat. Also Warren, if it comes to that.

Anyway, Biden’s certainly no shoo-in, although polls show

him beating Trump by an average of 15 points — a landslide.

By now, you’d think a threelegged dog could defeat Trump, but it ain’t necessar-ily so. Every cynic I know thinks Trump cultists will swarm the polls in support of Dear Leader’s inevita-ble hate and fear campaign.

Meanwhile, progressive Democrats are being taught to despise Biden, while the political press seems eager to treat every verbal slip or digressive anecdote as evidence of impending senility.

But yeah, Biden’s too old for this ordeal. As I put it some months back: “Anybody in their mid-70s who tries to tell you they don’t feel the transmission slipping as time’s winged chariot draws nearer is definitely bluffing.” Of course Trump’s also too old, an aging sociopath visibly slipping into dementia.

Arguing with the weather forecast? Denouncing the media for accurately reporting what he said about Iran on na-tional TV? It’s definitely time to take Grampa’s keys away before he lets one of his murdering dictator friends push the U.S. into war.

Boasting and backing down are Trump’s strongest talents.

Anyway, here’s the deal:

Uncle Joe may or may not be showing his age, but he’s always talked too much about too many things, some better left unsaid.

Biden was at it again recently, retelling an anecdote about his confrontation with a razor-wielding gang member called “Corn Pop” during his days as the only white lifeguard at a black Wilming-ton, Delaware, swimming pool. A football and baseball star back then, Biden armed himself with a chain, and Corn Pop retreated.

Biden told the oft-repeated tale during a ceremony renaming the pool in his honor. Over on Fox News, hilarity ensued.

No way could such a self-dramatizing tall tale be true. On the left, Michael Har-riot, a writer for The Root, lampooned Biden’s obvious racism on Twitter.

“Now if you’re black,” he wrote, “this (bleep) sounds like some white kid tried to make a gang fairy tale for a sixth-grade play because you and I know there ain’t no squad led by a n—— named Corn Pop going around terrorizing Delaware pools.” Harriot’s followers had a big time mocking the old bigot.

NEW YORK (AP) — I love eating deviled eggs and egg salad, but I had been avoiding making either because it was so much trouble peeling the eggs. I researched the subject online and tried many of the techniques that promised perfectly smooth eggs. I even went so far as to purchase an egg holder for my pressure cooker. None of these “a-ha” techniques were any better than the way I’ve always boiled eggs.

Peeling them was a struggle, and they were left looking pockmarked and homely.

Then this summer, I visited my friend Kirsten.

She had a dozen perfectly peeled eggs in her refrigerator. I thought maybe she had succumbed to buying the mass-market boiled and peeled eggs. But no.

Her secret — which I’m now revealing — is that you crack the egg on the bottom (that’s the egg’s larger side, while the top is the more pointed side).

I had always cracked my hard-boiled eggs on the side.

When I got home, I boiled a dozen eggs to make egg salad, tried cracking the eggs on the bottom, and it was a game changer. The eggs were much easier to peel, but it still took too long to peel them. So the next time I made boiled eggs, I went rogue and didn’t cool the eggs down first. I realized that cooling down the eggs was the only common denominator with my hard-to-peel eggs.

AP PHOTO

For easy to peel eggs, place eggs into a heavy-duty 4-quart pot with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cover the pot.

Turn the heat off and let sit in the hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Crack the bottom of each egg and slip the eggshell off.

Rinse in the hot water to remove any small shell fragments.

I was taught that you have to pour out the hot water that the eggs were boiled in and immediately cover them with cold water to prevent them from turning gray around the yolk. This may be true, but I discovered that it also makes the shell stick to the eggs. I decided to see what would happen if I peeled the eggs while they were still hot. I put on my kitchen gloves and started peeling. I cracked the bottom of the egg as Kirsten instructed me, and the egg shells literally slipped off. I peeled a dozen eggs in under five minutes. A few of the eggs did have a gray cast to the yolk, but once I sliced them and mixed them up in egg salad, you couldn’t see it.

So here’s my simple method for “easy-to-peel eggs”: Fill a heavy-duty 4-quart pot with cold water.

Repeat with the remaining eggs, taking care to not overlap the eggs. Cover the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Remove from heat. Serve family style or spoon the ragout with 1 egg into individual serving bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.

Gently place eggs in the pot. Bring the water to a boil and cover the pot.

Turn the heat off and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the pot from the stove with the eggs inside, and place it in the sink. Remove the eggs one by one to peel them, leaving the rest in the water they were boiled in.

Crack the bottom of each egg and slip the eggshell off. Rinse them in the hot water to remove any small shell fragments.

You will be shocked at how fast this method is and how foolproof. And you may be shocked to realize how much you start putting boiled eggs in your food repertoire. This summer, I rediscovered egg salad. I make it with shallots, fresh dill, mayo and a touch of strong Dijon mustard. It is great to have on hand for a protein-packed, keto-friendly lunch or even breakfast.

NEW YORK (AP) — That “cha-CHUNG” sound effect from the opening credits of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” this Thursday will signal the debut of a new season and something else — TV history.

The show’s 21st season launch makes it the longest running primetime live-action series in U.S. TV history. It now pulls out ahead of “Gunsmoke” and the original “Law & Order.”

DEAR NEED A NEW JOB: My mother taught me years ago that when I feel down, it’s time to count

my blessings. Literally make a list of the things you are grateful for. Then write down what you are good at doing. Be specific as you record your attributes, even if some of these things extend beyond your work experience. Think of your extracurricular activities and all the engagements in your life. Get a sense of what you consider to be your strengths. Next, imagine what job would match your abilities. Create a resume — or more than one — that highlights your skills in that particular area.

Now it’s time to look for a job that would value those attributes. You can visit one of the many job posting sites online to see what’s available. Contact your network of friends to see if they know of any jobs. Put yourself out there. And know that you may need to take a job that is not in your most natural area of expertise.

That’s okay, too. I know many people who have

chosen to drive for Uber, Lyft or some other car service and others who have gone to retail or telemarketing while on the job search. Do what you have to do to take care of yourself.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I have a friend who has three beautiful children. He periodically posts photos of them on social media doing all kinds of amazing things. I feel like such a failure compared to him.

My children are good students and generally good people, but they are not world travelers or straight-A students. I know I shouldn’t be comparing my kids to his, but it is hard not to. How can I stop being unsettled by my friend’s children’s success?

— The Joneses DEAR THE JONESES: Social media is a forum that people use to post celebratory moments.

Look at your friend’s posts with that in mind.

As a proud papa, he is

pointing to highlights in their lives. This in no way means that his children have good times only. You know this because you know your own children.

Instead of getting obsessed with other people’s posts, spend less time online and more time being with your family. You do not need to post anything about them.

What you must do is pay attention to them and nurture their strengths as you help them remain good people.

Further, send good wishes to your friend, and trust that your children are great, as they are. This can help you release the envy that is crippling your spirit.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I worked the same job for many years — decades, really — and I got laid off this summer.

I have meager savings and no idea of what I can possibly do SENSE & to take SENSITIVITY care of my Harriette Cole family.

I do not UNIVERSAL have a UCLICK college degree, but I do have a lot of job experience in office administration. I feel so sad about what’s next. How can I change my attitude and find work?

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

PARIS (AP) — A masterpiece attributed to 13th century Italian painter Cimabue has been discovered in a French woman’s kitchen —and it’s expected to sell for millions of euros at an upcoming auction.

Titled “Christ Mocked,”

the small wood painting depicts Christ surrounded by a crowd. Experts think it to be part of a larger diptych Cimabue painted around 1280, said Stephane Pinta, an art specialist with the Turquin gallery in Paris.

“It’s a major discovery for the history of art,” Pinta said of the newly discovered work measuring about

10 inches by 8 inches (24 centimeters by 20 centimeters). Other experts agreed.

Until recently, the painting hung on a wall between the kitchen and the dining room of a home in Compiègne. The woman considered it an icon of little importance until an auctioneer spotted the painting while going through her

house and suggested bringing it to art experts.

Cimabue, who taught Italian master Giotto, is widely considered the forefather of the Italian Renaissance. He broke from the Byzantine style popular in the Middle Ages and incorporated elements of movement and perspective.

JUNIOR COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL: CARL SANDBURG DEF. IVCC 25-16, 25-14, 25-20

A-L boys, Chargers, 6-3 middle too much for Eagles PHS girls run strong in Mendota

By Don Baldin

FOR SHAW MEDIA

BY NEWSTRIBUNE STAFF

The Princeton girls cross country team placed four runners in the top 10 on Tuesday in a six-team meet in Mendota.

Elizabeth Orwig led PHS as she placed fourth in 23:14.

Teammates joining her in the top 10 were Lexi Bohms (sixth, 23:57), Hannah Muehlschlegel (seventh, 23:58) and Lauren Frost (eighth, 24:58).

Amboy-LaMoille’s Margaret Vaessen won in 21:28, Hall’s Tea Cattani was runner-up in 22:13, Brady Mudge led St. Bede as she finished fifth in 23:36.

In the boys race, A-L’s Brock Loftus, Kyler McNinch and Ian Eller placed one-two-three to lead the Clippers to the team title.

A-L scored 32 points to beat Princeton (53), St. Bede (72), Hall (90) and Mendota (102).

Loftus finished in 17:50, McNinch crossed the line in 18:25 and Eller finished in 18:34.

Luke Peacock paced Princeton as he placed fourth in 19:23, Andrew Stamberger led the Trojans by placing sixth in 19:37, St. Bede’s Daniel Dugosh was seventh in 19:44 and Hall’s Kaden Crowther was eighth in 19:46.

The IVCC volleyball team seemed to match up well in many facets of the game as well as at many positions with Carl Sandburg.

However, the Eagles couldn’t match up with 6-foot-3 middle hitter Peyton Bowman.

The hitting machine was just a little more then IVCC’s front row could handle in a 25-16, 2514, 25-20 loss in an Arrowhead Conference match Tuesday in Oglesby.

“Bowman is really good up front,” Sandburg coach Todd Winkler said. “She leads the nation in hitting percentage and she is tough to stop. Our setters made

good decisions, which put her in great position to do damage. We had a couple of our key players out and had to tweak the lineup a bit, but they played well. You also have to give IVCC credit.

They play hard and make you earn every point you get.”

IVCC coach Erin Polte was happy with her team’s effort.

“We played hard and play-

ing a good team like Sandburg only makes you better,” Polte said. “This strengthens us and makes us better for Thursday night. I saw a lot of good things tonight and I saw some great efforts. There were times I thought the point was lost but someone would dig it out or make a great hustle play. Sandburg is good and See EAGLES Page B3

NEWSTRIBUNE SPORTS WRITER

LAMOILLE – The LaMoilleOhio volleyball team came out flat against Little 10 Conference rival Earlville and the Lady Red Raiders took advantage for a 2511, 25-19 victory Tuesday.

The Lady Lions came out in the opening set and had a couple of nice touch shots from Kylee Brown and Ki’Ayanna Moore for an early 2-1 edge, but Kylie Koontz hit a cross court shot be-

fore an L-O error gave Earlville a 4-3 lead.

Koontz had a nice touch shot and the Lady Raiders’ service game started to take over.

Alexis Olson served up an ace before back-to-back Lady Lions’ errors finished off a 6-0 Earlville run for an 8-3 advantage.

“One of our strengths is our service game,” Earlville coach Tonya Scherer said. “Meghann (Harness) has a killer serve and Jadyn (Pickert) and several others did as well tonight and kept

LaMoille back on their heels a bit.”

Mari Billhorn ended the Earlville’s streak as she found a hole in the defense.

Emma Benson and Koontz then combined for a block and Pickert delivered a big kill to push the lead to Earlville lead to 13-8.

Brynn Guelde was next to serve up an ace for the Lady Raiders. Alexis Olson then rolled a shot off the net that landed before sending a shot off a block

attempt as Earlville cruised to a 25-11 opening set victory.

The Lady Lions were determined to send the match into a third set as they started off strong in the second.

Bella Drummer rolled a shot that trickled off the net before Earlville was whistled for a double hit then four hits.

A service error for the Lady Lions gave the ball to Harness, who served up back-to-back aces to tie the game at 3-3.

Tigresses outlast Storm for three-set TRC East victory

By Tommy Rose SHAW MEDIA

SHAW MEDIA PHOTO/TOMMY ROSE

Princeton’s Maya Gartin (No. 11) hits the ball as Bureau Valley’s Sam Bohm (No. 24) and Molly Bohm go up for a block attempt during the Tigresses’ 25-18, 19-25, 25-21 victory in a Three Rivers Conference East Division match Tuesday in Manlius.

MANLIUS — Three things you can guarantee when Princeton and Bureau Valley sports teams meet up — full parking lots, full stands and fierce competition.

That was the case again when the Tigresses volleyball team came to call on Bureau Valley in the Storm Cellar at BVHS on Tuesday evening for a Three Rivers Conference East Division match.

The earlier freshman/sophomore matches each played to three sets, and the varsity contest was no different as Princeton prevailed 25-18, 19-25, 25-21 in a drama-filled affair.

“We’re rivals, it’s that simple,” PHS head coach Andy Puck said.

“I like to consider us rivals with

Hall too, but this is a little different feeling when we come over here. It was fun.”

Among those leading the way for the Tigresses were Madison Richards (10 points, seven kills), Taylor Wetsel (seven points, eight digs), Abby Peterson (six points, 17 digs) and Olivia Chastain (six points, eight digs).

McKenzie Hecht led in kills for the evening with 10 followed by Maya Gartin with eight.

Setter Katie Bates had an exceptional night for the Tigresses, leading in assists with 37 while contributing four points, a pair of aces, and six digs.

“Katie had a heck of a night,” Puck said. “Everything goes through her. Kenzie Hecht had a great night. She just keeps getting better and better.

“Madison’s always been our

rock, and Maya played extremely well tonight.”

The first game saw no clear advantage for either team until the Tigresses broke a 6-6 tie followed with enough small runs to reach leads of 14-9, 19-13 and 22-15 before pulling away for the 25-18 win.

“We’ve not been able to practice since we’ve been playing so much,” Puck said. “But our last few teams mirrored Bureau Valley, so we’ve kind of been prepared for the same team the last two to three nights, so that’s helped out.”

Princeton seemed to still be in control at the start of set two, but the Storm fought back and challenged the Tigresses point by point until, behind 19-17, Jenna Nordstrom (eight points, two See TIGRESSES Page B2

kills with 7.

“They hustled all over the floor tonight,” BV coach Caitlyn DeMay said. “I thought we served well, also.”

Puck said he felt his team had a chance to win the second set “We gave up that second set at about point 16,” Puck said. “We kind of took our foot off the gas.

If you give a veteran team at home any sort of life, that’s what happens.”

The Tigresses looked to be a team in trouble at the start of the third set when BV jumped out to a 9-1 lead.

“We let them take our energy away in the second game,” Bates said.

“We knew we had to come back fighting.”

Kenzie Coleman, nursing a sore stomach muscle, stepped up for PHS. “I’d been playing back row and Addie Grove was covering and doing a really great job, but I was really happy to get

in the front row again,” Coleman said Colman finished the night with five points, two aces, 12 digs and seven kills.

The Tigresses (6-5, 6-1 TRC East) clawed their way back to ties of 12-12, 16-16 and 21-21 before Chastain took the serve and led her team for the points needed to secure the third game.

“My kids were really, really resilient,” Puck said. “They didn’t give up. They had a lot of fight.”

The Storm (12-7, 3-2 TRC East) learned a valuable lesson with this loss.

“I told the girls when you get that lead, you just keep going,” DeMay said. “There’s no comfortable state in the game of volleyball. It’s all about momentum.”

Note: BV won the sophomore match 25-22, 20-25, 25-12 as well as the freshman match 19-25, 2513, 25-23.

However, Earlville went on an 11-2 run to regain control of the match.

Koontz started things off with a kill and then served up an ace before LaMoille was called for four hits to tie the game at 9-9.

Harness blasted a big shot before an Olson ace and a Lady Lions’ error to give Earlville a 14-9 advantage.

After the teams traded service errors, Pickert landed another ace to push the Earlville lead to 16-10.

Kiersten Shevokas hit a much needed kill for the Lady Lions with Meghan Davis following in her footsteps to trim the deficit to 16-12.

But the Lady Raiders responded with a kill from Harness and an ace from Benson.

we saw what it looks like.”

The night began with each team feeling each other out and trading sideouts until IVCC was able to take a slight advantage behind the serve of Hall graduate Gertie Savitch and a big kill off the hand of Mallery Pearson to go up by a 10-7 margin.

But that lead was short lived as a couple sideouts later, the Chargers got on a roll of their own fueled by a Bowman stuff block and a thunderous spike as they roared into the lead at 14-11 before Pearson found the hardwood to end the surge.

The next run also belonged to the Chargers and featured another Bowman drive and a kill from Julia Vosburgh before Putnam County graduate Presley Hatton slammed the door with a vicious kill. But damage had been done and Sandburg led 18-14.

After a Charger sideout, Hatton struck again with a big spike to keep the Eagles chances alive, but Teareny Eads came up with a pair of kills to end the first set in favor of Sandburg 25-16.

A local diabetes prevention program that helps Illinois Valley residents who have prediabetes deal more effectively with the disease has received full recognition from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Deb Redd, coordinator of the Diabetes Center for Excellence at Illinois Valley Community Hospital, said notification the center had achieved

full recognition status came in a letter from Ann Albright, director of the CDC’s division of diabetes translation.

“The sustained success of your lifestyle change program makes an invaluable contribution to the prevention of type 2 diabetes,” said Albright. “It is programs like yours that are turning the tide in the fight against the epidemic of type 2 diabetes.”

Redd, who is also a certified lifestyle coach, said the goal of the IVCH program is to help people with prediabetes prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems.

An estimated one in three Americans has prediabetes, according to Redd, who added that nine out of ten people who have the disease don’t know they have it.

and won the second set.

In game three, IVCC came out with purpose and in one sequence, Savitch made an amazing dig on a Bowman spike and Vigars ran down a ball near the bleachers, which lead to a Pearson kill to keep the match close early.

Hatton took over for a little while and after a kill she became a blocking machine as she stuffed several Charger spikes to help IVCC to an 11-6 lead.

But the Chargers rode their horse Bowman to get back in the game. She did not disappoint as she rallied her team to a 13-13 tie.

The Chargers got a threepoint service run from Eads and that began a steady separation between the two squads.

The Chargers completed the three-set sweep by closing out IVCC 25-20.

“We blocked well and our setters made good decisions all night. I have a good group of kids and we will learn from this and get better. That’s the goal to keep improving.”

With the score 17-9, the Chargers went on another nice run as Bowman had a block and a powerful blast to help Sandburg to a 21-9 lead.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks moved lower in early trading today as investors retreated following a highly volatile trading session a day earlier.

Technology stocks were the biggest weights on the market, with especially sharp losses for chipmakers Broadcom and Advanced Micro Devices.

Energy stocks edged lower as crude oil prices sank.

Nike jumped after a stellar earnings report, but most other consumer-oriented companies fell.

Investors cheered news that Altria and Philip Morris abandoned discussions about a merger, which helped lift consumer product makers.

Banks also notched gains as bond yields ticked higher to 1.66%

from 1.63% Tuesday.

The mixed bag of trading follows a volatile session Tuesday as investors digested a weak consumer confidence report, more swings in trade war rhetoric and the start of an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

The S&P 500 index fell 0.2% as of 10:20 a.m.

Eastern time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 26 points, or 0.1%, to 26,834, mostly because of Nike’s gains. The Nasdaq fell 0.5%.

Stocks in Europe and Asia broadly fell.

Britain’s parliament and Prime Minister Boris Johnson are set to clash Wednesday over the nation’s likely chaotic exit from the European Union.

Britain is leaving the trading block on Oct. 31 and

has yet to strike a deal with European nations covering trade and other issues.

Indexes in China slumped after Trump claimed in a speech Tuesday that China gets preferential treatment from the World Trade Organization. The rhetoric comes ahead of trade negotiations planned for October. Previous hopes for a resolution to the ongoing feud have been dashed because tensions flared over similar comments.

Melting glacier threatens town MILAN (AP) — A fast-moving Italian glacier is melting quickly, threatening a picturesque valley near the Alpine town of Courmayeur and prompting the mayor to close down a mountain road.

Mayor Stefano Miserocchi has forbidden access to a section of the Val Ferret, outside of Courmayeur, a popular hiking area on the south side of the Mont Blanc massif.

The precaution was taken after experts monitoring the massive Planpincieux glacier said they are recording ice movements of up to nearly 20 inches a day.

Racing Board grants Arlington race dates Race tracks seek casino license CHICAGO (AP) — The Illinois Racing Board has awarded a horse racing license to Arlington International Racecourse owner Churchill Downs Inc. The board on Tuesday granted the license for 2020 and 68 racing dates to the 91-year-old track in Arlington Heights despite the decision of Churchill Downs not to pursue a newly authorized casino license.

Illinois horse racing interests have viewed casino gambling revenue as a financial lifeline for decimated horse racing purses.

When Kentucky’s Churchill Downs announced last month that proposed taxes would make operating a casino would be untenable, it said it would consider moving the racing license elsewhere in Illinois. But, Churchill Downs attorney Brad Blackwell told board members the company wasn’t threatening to shut down Arlington or move the track after 2021.

Hawthorne Race Course in Stickney and Fairmount Park in Collinsville also received their race dates Tuesday. Both will operate slots and table games.
