A Thayer man could head back to prison for his sons’ 2018 Kankakee River drowning deaths after he violated his probation with a brief police chase in May 2024.

Eric Patillo, now 41, appeared in Lake Superior Court Thursday.

He was sentenced to 16 years in prison in June 2021 after admitting he was on heroin when he picked up his two sons, Levi, 4, and Evan, 2, to fish at the Kankakee River on Aug. 21, 2018, after dropping their mother off at work.

Patillo was seen nodding off at the riverbank with the boys.

After their deaths, relatives told the Post-Tribune they suspected Levi was trying to protect his little brother, who loved water.

Judge Samuel Cappas gave Patillo the option to petition to modify his 16-year prison sentence after finishing a nine-month drug rehab program. He took it, successfully leaving prison in 2022 for probation.

However, in May 2024, he was charged in Jasper County with fleeing during a traffic stop. He signed a plea deal and has since served the latter sentence.

At Thursday’s hearing, defense lawyer Amishi Sanghvi told Magistrate Kathleen Sullivan that she wanted to cut down the possible time Patillo would spend back in prison for the boys’ deaths.

The chase was “not a violent offense,” Sanghvi said.

Lake County Community Corrections work release told her that they were open to evaluating Patillo to see if he could spend the last two years of his revived sentence on work release.

Sanghvi also said she would petition to make the sentence for the boys’ deaths concurrent, rather than consecutive, in a bid to cut his prison sentence from 16 to 8 years.

Sullivan told her she would not do it, and the lawyer would have to petition Cappas, who originally sentenced him.

Deputy Prosecutor Gary Marek told Sullivan that he did not want to cut Patillo’s sentence but would give Sanghvi time to research if converting the back two years to work release was possible.

A status hearing is set for March 5. A hearing before Cappas is not yet scheduled.

Sullivan extended her condolences for the boys’ deaths.

“It’s something I live with every day,” Patillo told her.

According to court records, a Jasper County Deputy got a FLOCK license plate reader alert just after 5 p.m. May 6, 2024, that there were warrants attached to the registered owner of a 1989 Ford Mustang – not Patillo, but a different man.

However, Patillo, the driver, took off near Ind. 110 and Ind. 10 at an unspecified “high rate of speed,” according to court records. He tried to pull over before driving off just under 30 mph. Down the road, he pulled over again and was arrested.

Lake Station’s city hall quietly reopened Monday, ending a seven-month closure for repairs after a fire suppression sprinkler pipe ruptured in June, flooding offices and damaging equipment, ceiling tiles, walls and flooring.

The city’s insurance company provided trailers on site in the city hall parking lot for workers, and computers had to be hooked up and functioning so they could work throughout the closure.

The final trailer left the parking lot this week.

Mayor Bill Carroll said Wednesday he is planning an open house in the coming weeks so residents can see the repairs, new carpeting and painted walls.

Carroll said curious residents are beginning to trickle in to obtain building permits or handle other business. One man was there Wednesday to pay a court fine.

Clerk-treasurer Brenda Samuels said quite a few people have been in the building this week to get building licenses, pay bills or get dog tags.

Carroll said the pipe in the sprinkler system ruptured even though it underwent regular inspections. When the pipe burst, numerous city officials received notifications on their phones, including Carroll who was at a festival at Riverview Park.

He said they all hurried to city hall but the flooding had already damaged offices, including his own.

Carroll is cautious about providing a timeline after numerous delays.

“I don’t want to open this building unless it’s 110 percent ready,” said Carroll. “I don’t want more leaks anywhere ever again.”

During the closure, the city council has been meeting in the community room at Edison Jr.-Sr. High School.

Because of already published legal advertisements, the council will meet again at the high school at 7 p.m. on Feb. 12 when it’s expected to hold a public hearing on a proposed fire district partnership with New Chicago.

Carroll said he hopes, but wouldn’t promise, that regular meetings will resume at city hall by the end of the month.

Besides the city council, the plan commission also meets in the council chambers, as well as City Court, which also relocated to the high school.

The council chambers didn’t suffer too much damage from the flood, but new carpeting has been installed along with a TV monitor to provide residents with detailed information at meetings.

Carroll said the chamber is also being outfitted with a camera system designed to video meetings in compliance with a new state law. He said the meetings will appear on the city’s YouTube channel, similar to how other cities share their meetings.

Pizza Hut plans to close 250 U.S. restaurants in the first half of this year as its parent company considers a sale of the chain.

Yum Brands said Wednesday it’s targeting underperforming Pizza Hut restaurants in its system. Pizza Hut has more than 6,000 locations in the U.S.

Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum Brands said in November it was conducting a formal review of options for Pizza Hut, which has struggled with outdated stores and growing competition. The chain’s U.S. same-store sales, or sales at locations open at least a year, fell 5% last year, Yum said.

Rival Domino’s, the world’s largest pizza company, hasn’t yet released its full-year earnings, but its U.S. same-store sales were up 2.7% in the first nine months of last year.

Internationally, Pizza Hut’s results have been stronger. International same-store sales were up 1% last year, with growth in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, Yum said. China is Pizza Hut’s second-largest market outside the U.S., accounting for 19% of sales.

Yum CEO Chris Turner said Wednesday that the company plans to complete its review of options for Pizza Hut this year. He declined to share further updates on the process.

Pizza Hut ended 2025 with 19,974 stores globally, which was 251 fewer than it had the previous year. Pizza Hut opened nearly 1,200 stores across 65 countries last year, but closures outpaced that. Yum said Wednesday that Pizza Hut plans more global openings in 2026 but it didn’t give details.

Pizza Hut was founded in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas. PepsiCo acquired the chain in 1977 but spun off its restaurant division — which became Yum Brands — in 1997. Yum Brands also owns KFC, Taco Bell and Habit Burger & Grill.

SAN FRANCISCO — What can viewers expect from Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance? So far, all we know is that he’s expected to perform solely in Spanish, bringing Latin identity at the center of America’s most-watched television event.

But Bad Bunny could reveal more details Thursday in San Francisco when the Grammy winner speaks in a news conference ahead of Sunday’s game.

Football, Bad Bunny and ICE: This year’s Super Bowl comes at a pivotal moment in the US

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is one of the most-streamed artists on the planet. He will take the Super Bowl stage just one week after he won album of the year at the 2026 Grammys for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” It’s the first time an all Spanish-language album has taken home the top prize.

Apple Music’s Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden will conduct the interview with Bad Bunny. The conference began with conversations with pregame performers at 10 a.m. Pacific time on Thursday.

This year, a long line formed well before the doors opened, with credentialed media — including a noticeable presence of Spanish-language and Latin American outlets — packing the conference room nearly an hour before the news conference began.

It marked a stark contrast to Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 news conference, when the room didn’t fill up until roughly 15 minutes before the event.

The pregame media session may reveal some details about Bad Bunny’s performance, but headliners often keep a few secrets. Rihanna sure did, waiting until her Super Bowl performance in 2023 to reveal she was pregnant with her second child.

The Super Bowl will be held Sunday at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, with the Seattle Seahawks facing off against the New England Patriots.

Who else is performing at the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl pregame show will open with several standout performers in Northern California: Charlie Puth will hit the stage to sing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will take on “America the Beautiful” and Coco Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

“I want them to feel inspired. I want everybody to know that music is such an amazing thing,” Puth said of his performance.

“This is pretty much the top of the top,” added Jones. “This is the bee’s knees. … It’s hard to compete. Maybe my wedding will be up there.”

The national anthem and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” will be performed by deaf performing artist Fred Beam in American Sign Language. Julian Ortiz will sign “America the Beautiful.”

Before the game, Green Day will play a set to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Super Bowl. The band, which has its roots in the Bay Area, plans to “Get loud!” according to lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong.

In a historic first, the halftime show will include a multilingual signing program featuring Puerto Rican Sign Language, led by interpreter Celimar Rivera Cosme. She was also the interpreter for his landmark residency in Puerto Rico last year that drew more than half a million fans.

All signed performances for the pregame and halftime shows will be presented in collaboration with Alexis Kashar of LOVE SIGN and Howard Rosenblum of Deaf Equality.

US Pushes Price Floors At Global Minerals Summit To Cut China Dependence

A Lockport resident’s role in bringing about societal reform in the United States is getting a public boost thanks to the efforts of a New Lenox researcher.

In the years leading up to the Civil War, Lockport had become a fulcrum point for abolitionists, according to Lindsey Minas, who recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history from Lewis University in Joliet and is pursuing graduate studies at the University of Chicago.

Among the mid-19th century activists drawn there was Ichabod Codding, a Congregationalist minister who some say influenced President Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator.

“Lincoln had only aspired to limit the spread of slavery — not end it altogether,” Minas said. “Codding wanted Lincoln to deep dive into the abolitionist movement. While there was some hesitation, we know that later he does. So, it’s easy to assume there was some sway on Codding’s part there.”

Minas’ local research efforts have yielded a Story Wall exhibit about Codding now on display at the Gaylord Building, 200 W. 8th Street in Lockport.

Also at that location, Minas will also deliver a Think & Drink lecture about Codding at 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 12, following an introduction by Larry McClellan, president of the Midwest Underground Railroad Network.

Prior to running for a senate seat, Lincoln, a Whig, was unwilling to fully commit himself to the cause of the Republican Party, an organization born out of a desire to eliminate slavery. But then someone gave him a nudge.

In an 1854 letter to Codding, Lincoln railed about having been involuntarily signed on to serve on the Republican State Central Committee. Codding and several abolitionists living in Illinois at the time played key roles nurturing the fledgling Republican Party.

“While I have pen in hand, allow me to say I have been perplexed some to understand why my name was placed on that committee,” Lincoln wrote. “I was not consulted on the subject; nor was I apprized of the appointment, until I discovered it by accident two or three weeks afterwards.”

Lincoln also complained that Codding’s written invitation to attend the related committee meeting in Chicago didn’t arrive until the day of the event, when Lincoln was out of town.

That wasn’t the only time Codding pushed personal boundaries to drum up interest in the abolitionist movement.

A member and frequent lecturer at the Congregationalist Church, 231 9th Street in Lockport, Codding once organized an anti-slavery rally there without asking permission and while the pastor was out of town.

Tricky business aside, “He had an ability to change minds and sway crowds,” Minas said.

And indeed, Lincoln did come around, as a Republican candidate for the Senate in 1858.

Lincoln also publicly opposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which aimed to expand slavery to additional states. During the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, he challenged the incumbent Democratic senator who introduced the legislation, Stephen Douglas.

Minas said she believes Codding, who was as known locally as “the great orator,” may even have influenced Lincoln’s eloquence.

Upon accepting the Republican nomination for senator, Lincoln delivered his much-admired “House Divided” speech, saying, “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.”

On the matter of slavery, Codding also did more than just talk.

“He personally assisted enslaved people,” Minas said, adding that he once delivered freedom seekers to the home of abolitionists living in Gooding’s Grove in Homer Glen. Those abolitionists helped the freedom seekers travel onward toward Canada.

Minas said she discovered Codding after hearing a MURN lecture by McClellan.

“I knew a little, but until I heard Dr. McClellan’s talk, I didn’t know how rich the (abolitionist) movement was here, especially in towns so close by.”

Minas approached McClellan, a Governors State emeritus professor of sociology and community studies, for guidance and a possible internship. Soon after, she started researching local connections to Codding, one several abolitionists profiled in McClellan’s book, “Onward to Chicago.”

“I chose Codding because I was impressed by how close he was to where I am and because he’s so generally unknown,” said Minas. “Codding was so unlike anyone I learned about in high school, and I wanted to bring that to light.”

Codding grew up in New York and attended Middlebury College in Vermont. Early on he caused a stir delivering anti-slavery speeches and writing pamphlets.

So deep was his passion as a student — and so averse was the school to his “radical” views, as some sources say — he left his studies to represent the American Anti-Slavery Society. His first post was in Maine. He eventually moved on to Illinois and Wisconsin.

Codding came to the Midwest in 1842, six years before the opening of the I & M Canal. The massive construction project was intended to connect water-born commerce coming from the eastern United States by way of Chicago and the St. Lawrence Seaway to America’s Deep South and the Western frontier via the Illinois and Mississippi rivers.

Like other abolitionists anticipating slavery’s spread with westward expansion, Codding was drawn to Lockport, a key location linking the nation.

Canal commissioners constructed the Gaylord Building as a warehouse to help facilitate the canal project. As ground zero, Lockport attracted numerous engineers, speculators, investors, laborers and their families.

“Codding represents a larger group of people who were outspoken about what this (the abolishment of slavery) means and how a movement came to be in the Midwest,” Minas said.

Enlisting the help of Congregationalist Church historians and members of the Lockport Genealogical & Historical Society, Minas was able to verify Codding’s ties to fellow Illinois abolitionists.

Codding joined his mother and sister Sabrina Mason, who moved to Lockport to be with the Mason family. The Masons were members of the Congregational Church where Codding lectured. Hale Mason was an abolitionist.

Codding also worked with an abolitionist member of the Preston family. He married Hannah Maria Preston. She wrote Codding’s autobiography.

Codding eventually moved away from Lockport and became a pastor at a Unitarian Church in Baraboo, Wisconsin, where he later died.

His body was returned to Lockport Cemetery, where a tombstone identifies him as “A fearless apostle of freedom for the slave, and in religion.”

Minas along with Lockport resident Kelly McCleod recently applied for Codding’s gravestone and the Lockport Cemetery to be recognized as part of the National Park Service’s National Network to Freedom. The network promotes the history of resistance to enslavement through historic sites having verifiable connections to the Underground Railroad.

Illinois will adopt the childhood vaccine schedule recently released by the American Academy of Pediatrics, in a rejection of federal recommendations.

The move is the latest example of Illinois breaking with the federal government over health care policies and guidance since President Donald Trump took office. The Trump administration has spent the last year revamping health care policies, such as by recommending fewer vaccines for children and pulling out of the World Health Organization. 

“While Donald Trump and RFK Jr. undermine science, spread dangerous vaccine misinformation, and put countless lives at risk, my administration is forging a different path — one that puts our people first,” said Governor JB Pritzker in a news release Thursday. “With key insights from the (Illinois Immunization Advisory Committee), we’re endorsing clear, evidence-based immunization schedules to help keep Illinois families safe as the federal government chooses conspiracy theories over American lives.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics’ vaccine schedule is the same as what Illinois already recommends. Last year, Illinois adopted an older federal childhood vaccine schedule from before the Trump administration began making changes. 

But Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Sameer Vohra said Wednesday during a meeting of the state’s Immunization Advisory Committee that because it’s a new year and the federal government keeps making changes, it was important to revisit the recommendations to clear up any confusion over where Illinois stands.

The American Academy of Pediatrics’ childhood vaccine schedule differs from the new federal recommendations in a number of ways, largely sticking to previous guidelines. The Academy, for example, continues to recommend routine flu vaccinations, broad vaccination to protect against meningococcal disease, hepatitis B vaccinations for all infants and COVID-19 vaccines for all children from the ages of 6 to 23 months, whereas the new federal schedule does not, instead leaving it up to parents and doctors whether to vaccinate individual children, in most cases.

Dr. Sameer Vohra, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, speaks before Gov. JB Prtizker signed Illinois House Bill 767 on Dec. 2, 2025.

The American Academy of Pediatrics released its schedule last month after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dramatically reduced the number of vaccines it recommends for children. A dozen prominent medical groups, including the Chicago-based American Medical Association, have thrown their support behind the Academy’s schedule. 

The Academy had criticized new federal recommendations as a departure “from longstanding medical evidence.”

Meanwhile, federal officials said the new CDC schedule came after a review of other countries’ vaccine practices and the scientific evidence behind them, conducted at the instruction of President Donald Trump.

At the time the CDC released its new schedule Acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill said in a news release, “The data support a more focused schedule that protects children from the most serious infectious diseases while improving clarity, adherence, and public confidence.”

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services previously said in a statement that the American Academy of Pediatrics “is angry that CDC eliminated corporate influence in vaccine recommendations.”

The state’s decision to adopt the Academy’s vaccine schedule came a day after the Illinois Immunization Advisory Committee met to discuss the dueling vaccine schedules. That committee voted to recommend the state adopt the Academy’s vaccine schedule after many committee members expressed dismay at the new federal schedule.

The new federal schedule is “very stripped down,” said committee chair Dr. Marielle Fricchione, with Rush University System for Health, during the meeting Wednesday.

She said the new federal schedule is lacking in many areas, such as by leaving out a number of high-risk groups that should be getting vaccines to protect against meningococcal disease, which can cause infections of the brain lining, spinal cord and bloodstream. The new federal guidelines no longer recommend broad vaccination to protect against meningococcal disease, instead recommending it only for kids in certain high risk groups and saying it should be up to parents and doctors whether to vaccinate individual children who are not at high risk.

“This goes against all standards of care, it goes against our oaths as physicians, it goes against epidemiology and it goes against science,” Fricchione said of the missing high-risk groups.

Committee member Dr. Archana Chatterjee recounted a story at the meeting about how her daughter caught rotavirus as an infant and had to be hospitalized. The illness can cause diarrhea and vomiting and be especially severe in young children.

The Academy schedule continues to recommend rotavirus vaccines for all infants, whereas the federal schedule says it should be left up to parents and doctors whether to give the shots to babies.

Chatterjee said her daughter is now grown and “doing great,” but she said she told the story to emphasize the importance of the vaccine.

“These are real things that actually impact (families),” said Chatterjee, who is dean of the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. “This impacts everyone and it is not just the deaths that we need to focus on.”

Illinois’ decision to adopt the Academy’s vaccine schedule is one of a series of recent moves by the state that part ways with federal public health policy. 

Earlier this week, Illinois announced that it was joining a network of the World Health Organization in hopes of better positioning the state to respond to emerging health threats, after the federal government withdrew from the organization.

Illinois also broke with federal vaccine recommendations last year, deciding to continue to recommend hepatitis B vaccines for nearly all newborns and to continue to recommend COVID-19 vaccines for all children ages 6 to 23 months. 

Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law last year formally establishing a process for the state to issue its own vaccine guidelines, after Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and a longtime vaccine skeptic, fired and replaced all the members of a federal vaccine advisory committee.

Authorities have accused a 17-year-old boy of wounding seven teenagers just outside the Chicago Theatre last November in a mass shooting that renewed citywide discussions about how to best manage “teen takeovers” downtown.

Chicago police arrested the teen, who is not being named because he is being charged as a juvenile, on Wednesday in Hyde Park, according to a news release. The teen faces seven felony counts of attempted murder, seven felony counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, seven felony counts off aggravated discharge of a firearm and single counts of aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon and felony armed robbery, per the release.

Police said some of those charges related to an alleged armed robbery that took place in the Roseland neighborhood about an hour and a half after the Nov. 21 shooting. It wasn’t clear as of Thursday morning when the teen would appear in court, according to the Cook County Chief Judge’s office.

That shooting was one of two linked to a social-media fueled “takeover” that ended in chaos following the city’s Christmas tree lighting. Its victims ranged in age from 13 to 18 and came from all over the Chicago area. A second shooting on the 100 block of South Dearborn Street took the life of 14-year-old Armani Floyd and left an 18-year-old wounded on the 100 block of South Dearborn Street. Police have not made an arrest in the second shooting.

Speaking the morning after the shootings, Mayor Brandon Johnson said police had made 18 arrests and recovered five guns while responding to the shootings. CPD had been aware of the social media postings promoting the gathering for several days and sent hundreds of additional officers to patrol downtown that night, and Johnson said the city had sent out a message via Chicago Public Schools telling students not to participate in the gathering.

“But clearly, what we put in place did not do enough to prevent what we were concerned about from actually manifesting,” he said.

The violence that followed the Christmas tree lighting reinvigorated a push by downtown aldermen to institute an 8 p.m. curfew for minors downtown, which had been the subject of a rare mayoral veto after Johnson derided the idea as “political theater” that wouldn’t fix the persistent issue of young people gathering in the city’s downtown neighborhoods.

Ahead of the city’s New Years’ Eve celebration, Johnson, Chicago police superintendent Larry Snelling and other city leaders pleaded with parents to keep tabs on their children’s whereabouts and warned that anyone under 17 would need to be with an adult after 10 p.m.

CPD instituted 12-hour shifts and cancelled days off for New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day, per communications shared with the Tribune, and announced that its officers, along with outreach workers, would be highly visible around the Loop for the celebration. That celebration unfolded largely without incident.

After the shooting, Ald. Brian Hopkins, 2nd, revived his longstanding City Council efforts to add stronger powers for police to issue teen curfews. Hopkins sought to give police Superintendent Larry Snelling the power to declare a teen curfew anywhere in the city with a 12-hour notice, a period substantially longer than the 30 minutes featured in his “snap curfew” legislation that aldermen approved, but Johnson vetoed in July.

But his ordinance failed to move forward last month when his own allies rejected a last-minute compromise reached with the Johnson administration. The downtown alderman says he still plans to push for curfew legislation.

And Johnson ally Ald. William Hall proposed legislation to fine social media companies if they fail to remove posts flagged by the city as efforts to incite chaotic youth meetups. Aldermen in a key committee similarly did not support Hall’s push, citing legal concerns for the first-of-its-kind proposal.
