Peaches Hope Cooler Spell Prolongs Illinois Crop
South ern Illinois peach growers seek sustained cool weather after a warm spell prematurely woke trees. Kris Doll of the University of Illinois notes damage varies by belt along routes 40 and 50, with hillside plantings offering better air drainage. He says buds tolerate around 20 degrees, with 15-18 degrees critical, and three more weeks of cool but not freezing weather are needed to secure a better harvest.

Arson Conviction Upheld Despite Witness Credential Claims
Williamson County Circuit Judge ruled that the investigator’s qualifications were not the decisive factor in Amil T. Cornille’s arson conviction. Cornille, 37, had already served two years of a five year sentence for setting his Johnston City home ablaze. Judge Lewis sent him back to confinement after a post conviction relief petition alleging perjured testimony by Dennis Michaelson, who faced perjury charges over claimed credentials. Michaelson’s misstatements about a dern chemistry degree were deemed not pivotal to the case.
