Court upholds random lottery for Illinois remap tie break

Illinois Alcohol Fatalities Drop After Rising Period
In Illinois alcohol related traffic deaths fell to 614 in 2000 from 635 in 1999 after two years of increases. Mothers Against Drunk Driving Executive Director Brad Fralick credited tougher enforcement and education for the decline. Drunk driving had risen from 587 in 1997 to 601 in 1998 and 635 in 1999. The trial of Jonathan Corey Posey, 20, of Davenport Iowa, for the dragging death of Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Stanley Talbot was delayed to December 10 from an October 15 schedule after he fled a safety checkpoint at the Centennial Bridge at 1 38 am on June 23.

Sears to place American flag decals on nationwide fleet
Marion store manager says Sears executives in Chicago ordered flag decals for 15 000 vehicles and will display them prominently and safely. Public reaction skewed toward outrage though the plan was already approved, with stores donating to relief efforts and plans for flag merchandise with Red Cross proceeds. Personal note: manager's son serves in the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell.
