Warren’s season offers many possibilities

By Chris Johnson Each week and almost each night so far this season the Warren Warriors boys’ basketball teams has made things exciting. With upsets and tournament championships already to their credit, the members of this year’s squad embarked on a series of matches as they attempt to close down 2016 with a lot of hope for the months ahead.

Entering the month of December however, the Warriors ran into a little trouble. On Dec. 2, the Stockton Blackhawks who continue to look to improve on the work already in place came away with the five point win, 44-39. The loss hurt Warren’s standing in the NUIC but helped the team set itself up for the following night an a meeting with Big Northern Conference foe Byron.

The Warriors six-point upset win helped push the month’s mark back to the.500 level.

A game later the Pearl City Wolves found answers for Warren’s press. By a final score of 60-39, Warren had its early NUIC run shut down. Tournament play resumed for Warren as they took the trip south to face West Carroll as part of the annual Rt. 84 Invitational.

Following the tip-off, the Warriors faced the Erie Cardinals, but couldn’t find enough offense to stay in the game, as they fell 59-44. The Warriors scored nine points in the first period and entered the second one shot back. Erie scored 19 in the second quarter and pushed their three-shot lead to almost 20 at the break.

Warren put twelve points on the board in the third period helping them keep pace as Erie added 13 to its own score. After three periods, the Cardinals were in front 46-26. Warren’s best performance came in the final period as they got a lot of pieces working and tallied 18 points into the period. Erie put through twelve, but had enough of a lead built to easily coast to the vic-

tory, 59-44. Andrew Kaiser scored 20 points for Warren in the losing effort.

The Rt. 84 Invitational wraps up Friday, Dec. 16, as the Warriors take on their counterparts from East Dubuque. Prior to the match with the Mississippi River’s version of the Warriors, Warren had to deal with Galena on Thursday, Dec. 15.

Details of some of the later contests in the annual RT.84 Invitational are unavailable at this time.

NUIC games continue in January, 2017 for Warren, as they play at Lena-Winslow High School on Jan. 5. On Jan. 7 Warren returns home to await a visit from the Scales Mound Hornets. A cross-Stateline clash with Potosi, Wi., appears on the schedule on Jan. 9 for Warren.

On Jan. 13, about one month of the regular season will remain.

Warren opens on the road at River Ridge and travels to East Dubuque on Jan. 19. The Warriors head home from their trip west for a rematch with River Ridge on Saturday, Jan. 14.

Stockton Police Department report for week ending Dec. 8 On 12/01 at approximately 1:26 p.m., an officer of the Stockton Police Department was dispatched to the area of Front and Simmons Streets in reference to a suspicious person. On arrival, the officer met with the complainants at the Waverly Rehabilitation Center. The Officer was advised that an unauthorized person had tried to remove a relative from the facility.

The unauthorized person was gone on the Officers arrival. The Waverly Rehabilitation Center requested extra patrols due to the circumstances of this call.

On 12/01 at approximately 4:20 p.m.., Stockton Police received information that a missing juvenile was on a Trailways Bus that was eastbound from Dubuque, Iowa. It was suspected that the missing juvenile may be the victim of or participating in illegal human trafficking. The Trailways Bus was scheduled to stop in Stockton at 4:40 p.m. The Stockton Police, along with the Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s, responded to the Stockton Shell Station, which is also the Trailways Bus Stop. Police Officers observed the bus arrive at the station and also observed a Female matching the description of the missing Juvenile as she got off the bus. The female was detained until it was determined that she was, in fact, the missing person.

The juvenile was then temporarily detained at the bus stop until her parental guardian arrived on scene to take her home. Due to the circumstances of the incident, this case is still under investigation by the Dubuque, Iowa Police Department and the Stockton Police Department.

On 12/02 at approximately 9:32 p.m. Stockton Police were dispatched to a call of an accident at Main Street and Summit Street. It was learned through investigation, that the driver of the first vehicle was stopped in a parking spot, but the vehicle was in reverse gear. The driver opened the drivers’ door and leaned out of the car to retrieve a loose dog. At this time the driver of the vehicle fell out of the car.

Due to the fact that the vehicle was in reverse, the vehicle rolled backwards,

striking the second vehicle as it was legally parked and unoccupied. No one was hurt in the accident and the dog was retrieved unharmed.

On 12/04 at approximately 1:53 a.m. the Stockton Police Department received a call from a female subject.

This female stated that there was a suspicious car parked in her driveway and the occupant was possibly an ex-boyfriend of a relative. The complainant stated that person in the car had been there for some time and she did not know what he was doing there. The complainant requested that the police investigate why this subject was on her property.

On the arrival of police, a white 2005 Dodge pickup truck bearing Illinois registration was observed parked in the driveway and it was unoccupied. A second complainant then approached police. This complainant identified herself as the exgirlfriend of the suspicious person whose truck was in the driveway. At this time the suspicious person was discovered in the ex-girlfriend’s car, which was also in the driveway. The second complainant advised the officer that her ex-boyfriend had been sending her “nasty messages” earlier in the evening via text. The second complainant stated that she wanted the ex-boyfriend removed from her vehicle. The second complainant and the officer then woke up the sleeping suspicious person. The subject was asked to get out of the car by the complainant. He refused the request and was then ordered out of the car by police. He refused this lawful order by a police officer and was again ordered out of the car at which time he complied with the lawful order and was asked several times why he was in someone else’s car. His only reply was that he was not going to talk to the officer. In order to officially identify the ex-boyfriend and run a computer check on his driver’s license, the officer requested that the subject present his drivers’ license. The request was refused several times and the subject turned his back on the officer and began using profanity towards the offi-

cer and others present. At this time, the subject was told to put his hands behind his back and he was informed that he was under arrest. The subject refused to comply again with the lawful order of the officer. At this time the officer had to physically restrain the subject who began to actively and physically resist the officers’ attempt to place him under arrest. He was eventually placed into handcuffs, placed in a police car and transported to the Jo Daviess County Jail for further processing. The subject is charged with Obstructing Identification and Resisting a Peace Officer.

At approximately 11:52 a.m. on 12/04 an officer of the Stockton Police Department was dispatched to the scene of a one car accident near Mapes and Binkley road. On arrival, it was learned that the driver of the vehicle involved was driving a white Jeep Wrangler westbound on E. Binkley Road near Mapes Road when he lost control of the vehicle on the snowy roadway and rolled the vehicle onto the driver’s side in a deep ditch on the south side of E. Binkley Road.

The driver was not injured and the vehicle was able to be removed from the ditch by tow truck. This accident is under investigation.

On 12/04 at approximately 7:01 p.m., the Stephenson County Sheriffs’ Office requested that the Stockton Police conduct a welfare check for an individual at an address on North Main Street. Dispatch advised that Stephenson County Sheriffs’ found a vehicle belonging to this individual off the road, running and unoccupied.

Stockton Police went to the address

and found that the individual no longer lives at the there. Before any further inquiries were made, Stephenson County Sheriffs’ Office advised that they had found the owner of the vehicle unharmed and no further assistance was needed On 12/5 at about 1 p.m. a female subject came to the Stockton Police Department and reported that she had been involved in a domestic related disturbance with a family member.

This subject stated that she needed to get some personal things out of the house and needed police assistance.

Stockton Police escorted the subject back to her residence on Pearl Street; once on the scene, officers talked with both subjects, and it was determined that there had been an argument, but no violence. The original complainant stated she just wanted some personal items and to leave the area. Police assisted in this effort and the original complainant left the scene. No further police assistance was required.

On 12/06 at approximately 5:27 p.m. an officer of the Stockton Police Department while on routine patrol, observed a subject sitting on the curb outside the Shell Gas Station at 209 E. North Avenue. The subject was wearing a sweatshirt and short pants and had a small suitcase with him. Due to the extreme low temperature, the officer stopped to see if the subject was okay. The subject told the officer that he had been on the bus to Chicago, but got off, because he forgot something at home. It became apparent while talking with the subject that he was mentally impaired and in need of assistance. After trying several times,

Police were able to get a hold of the subjects’ mother, who immediately came from Dubuque, Iowa to pick up her son.

At approximately 1:43 p.m. on 12/07 The Stockton Police were requested to respond to the Hartig Drug Store on Main Street in reference to a disturbance. On arrival, the officer met with the complainant, who is the manager of the store. The complainant advised that a subject approached a delivery driver who was working at the store and began to yell at him about his truck and where it was parked and the subject was using profanities and acting in a very aggressive manner. The delivery driver also verified this incident and stated that he was afraid the subject was going to attack him, so he left the area. The subject was not on the scene when the officer arrived. This incident is under investigation and there is a person of interest known to Police At approximately 3:23 p.m. on 12/07 an officer of the Stockton Police Department was dispatched to investigate a complaint about dogs being starved in a pen at an address on Benton Street. On arrival, the officer checked the outdoor pen where there were two dogs. At this time, both dogs appeared healthy. The owner of the dogs was advised of the complaint and warned against maltreatment of the animals.

Stockton Chief of Police Thomas Sheehan would like to remind readers that those persons arrested by the Stockton police department are presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court or courts of law.

Illinois State Police to watch for distracted drivers in work zones Officials with the Illinois State Police (ISP) announce that additional officers will be patrolling work zones as the construction season comes to an end.

nois. The ISP encourages motorists to also limit other distractions that may be occurring while driving through a work zone. Please refrain from eating or drinking, using navigation systems, adjusting your music devices, or anything else that may take your eyes away from the road.

“Work zones can pose many challenges for drivers and require your undivided attention, “said Priscilla Tobias, director of the Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) Office of Program Development. “Studies have shown that drivers engaged in activities other than driving are up to four times more likely to be involved in a crash. Please avoid distractions at all times and pay extra attention as well to first responders and maintenance vehicles working to keep our roads safe for everyone.”

Distracted driving is one of the common factors related to fatal traffic crashes. The other three most common factors are speeding, driving under the influence, and not wearing a seatbelt. Together, they make up the “Fatal Four” violations related to fatal traffic crashes.

The initiative is funded by IDOT. The ISP and IDOT worked jointly to identify the locations best suited for the additional patrols.

USDA invests $33 million to improve water quality in high-priority watersheds Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced an investment of more than $33 million in 197 high-priority watersheds across the country to help landowners improve water quality through the Natural Resource Conservation Service’s (NRCS) National Water Quality Initiative (NWQI).

The NWQI helps farmers and ranchers implement voluntary conservation practices, such as nutrient management, cover crops, conservation cropping systems, filter strips, terraces and buffers, which protect and improve water quality where it is needed most. Conservation practices enhance agricultural productivity and profitability while also improving water quality by enhancing soil health and optimizing the use of agricultural inputs.

“USDA is committed to working hand-in-hand with farmers, ranch-

ers, and landowners to address water quality issues and provide the tools necessary to ensure clean, safe water for communities and wildlife,” Vilsack said. “This latest investment is yet another example of how voluntary, incentive-based conservation programs are benefitting both producers and our natural resources.”

This year, NRCS added 42 new watersheds to the NWQI and selected 21 watersheds for new assessment projects. These assessment watershed projects span 17 states and include a variety of land uses and water quality issues. NRCS will provide resources for these assessment projects to leverage existing plans, data, and information, and fill gaps needed to complete watershed assessments and develop outreach plans. Experience and data gained from several studies,

A Merry Christmas for local foster children thanks to OSF employees Presents will be under the Christmas tree for 200 foster children in Winnebago and Boone Counties, thanks to the generosity of local OSF HealthCare employees.

For more than 20 years OSF has participated in the Foster Care Alliance “Adopt-an-Angel” program where employees choose tags with the first name, gender and age of a foster child. The tag also includes a “wish list” of things the child would like for Christmas.

“OSF is pleased to partner with Foster Care Alliance”, says Christine Eldridge, Patient Experience Man-

ager at OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center. “To bring joy to children this time of year is just another part of our Mission and commitment to the community.”

“We thank OSF for their long commitment of generosity”, says Foster Care Alliance Coordinator, Patty York. “Their spirit of kindness helps make this a better Christmas for our foster children”.

Foster Care alliance works with dozens of area business/organizations in the “Adopt-an-Angel” program. This year more than 2-thousand gifts will be distributed.

including the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP), have shown that improvements in water quality are more likely to be detected when conservation systems are placed in the most vulnerable areas of a watershed.

The goal of the NWQI is to implement conservation practices within a local area to protect water bodies within priority watersheds.

NRCS works closely with conservation partners and State water quality agencies to select watersheds where on-farm conservation can deliver the greatest benefits for clean water. State water quality agencies also work to align U.S. Environmental Protection Agency funding with these priority water-

sheds.

This targeted approach to improve water quality is working across the country. Conservation work on seven watersheds in Texas contributed to positive results and improving trends in water quality in Chambers Creek. With continued conservation efforts, Chambers Creek will not be added to the State’s Clean Water Act list of impaired waterbodies due to agricultural impacts.

Since 2012, conservation systems have been placed on almost 600,000 acres in priority watersheds through NWQI, supported by approximately $125 million in USDA investments. Now in its sixth year, NWQI has expanded to include more small

watersheds across the nation, and it builds on efforts to deliver high-impact conservation in areas such as the Mississippi River basin, Gulf of Mexico, Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes.

Since 2009, USDA has invested more than $29 billion to help producers make conservation improvements, working with as many as 500,000 farmers, ranchers and landowners to protect over 400 million acres nationwide, boosting soil and air quality, cleaning and conserving water and enhancing wildlife habitat.

Madigan announces $19.5 million settlement with drug maker for deceptive marketing of Abilify Attorney General Lisa Madigan, along with 42 other Attorneys General, today announced a $19.5 million settlement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) over unfair and deceptive marketing of its drug Abilify for unapproved uses in older patients.

Madigan and the attorneys general alleged that BMS marketed Abilify, which is used to treat schizophrenia, to older patients with symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, which were not approved uses by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In a complaint filed today along with the settlement, the attorneys general alleged that in 2006, Abilify received a FDA warning stating that older patients with dementia-related psychosis who were treated with antipsychotic drugs, such as Abilify, have an increased risk of death. The complaint alleged that BMS minimized and misrepresented the risks of using Abilify for these unapproved uses.

The complaint also alleges BMS overstated the findings of scientific studies in favor of increased use of

Abilify.

“This is another example of a big pharmaceutical company ignoring serious health concerns to boost its profits,” Madigan said. “BMS’ practices potentially harmed older patients in order to increase the company’s bottom line.”

Under the settlement, BMS’ marketing of any drugs containing aripiprazole will be restricted. BMS will be prohibited from making false or misleading claims about Abilify, including its safety or efficacy in comparison with other drugs and the implications of clinical studies relating to the drug. The settlement will also limit BMS financial incentives to sales representatives and health care providers and the dissemination of information that may promote off-label use of Abilify and other practices affecting off-label promotion. Illinois will receive more than $500,000 from the settlement.

In addition to Illinois, the following states and the District of Columbia joined the settlement: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
