Author and beekeeper Michael Bush, of Nehawka, Neb., inspects one of the frames from inside a beehive Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016, during the Southern Illinois Treatment-Free Beekeeping Seminar Series at Touch of Nature Environmental Center in Makanda. Bush has been keeping bees since the mid-1970s and today owns about 40 hives. I just think [bees are] fascinating, Bush said. Theres always more to learn, always more to figure out. And theres plenty of other people fascinated with bees too, so theres all their research to read, books to read and books to write. Bush is one of the leading advocates for treatment-free beekeeping.

Senior staffers for Bernie Sanders campaign and SIU alumni Tim Tagaris, left, and Zach Schneider, right, answer questions during “Pizza and Politics: Two Salukis for Bernie” on Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2016, at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute in Carbondale. “Bernie doesn’t spend a lot of time joking,” Tagaris said. “Conversations with Sanders were generally very quick conversations — he’s a very busy man.” Tagaris said the coolest thing about working on the campaign was that Bernie proved anyone could run for president.
