This is the season the Vernon Hills boys cross country team has been dreaming about for a long time. The No. 3-ranked and undefeated Cougars will be aiming for a top-three trophy when they toe the starting line today at the Class 2A state meet beginning at noon in Peoria. The 3-mile race at historic Detweiller Park should be a great one, as top-ranked Illiana Christian and No. 2 Mahomet-Seymour could prove to be Vernon Hills’ greatest challenge in its quest for one of the coveted trophies. The awards ceremony for Class 2A gets under way at 1 p.m.

Consumer spending rose 0.2 percent in September, after at 0.3 percent gain the previous month, the Commerce Department reported Friday.

When receiving the news, the rodeo-lover argued with the doctor, saying only homosexuals got such a disease — and he was as straight as they came.
