While there were several hundred small scale, local breweries in the 1840s and 1850s, beer did not become a mass-produced, mass-consumed beverage in America until the years following the Civil War. In Morris, Gebhard Brewery was founded by German immigrant Louis Gebhard. In 1866, Louis began his brewery in a wooden building located on West Washington near the East Fork branch of Nettle Creek.

Twenty years later, Louis sold the business to his son, William, who built the business into one that was known throughout the state because the finest quality of malt, grit and foreign domestic hops were used in the production process.

Within a decade, William expanded the business to include a malt and bottling house (1888) and a seven-story brew house (1896). Gebhard would continue to construct additions to the brew house over the years, including the addition of a stock house in 1904, which included s a stateof-the-art refrigeration plant.

Around 1912, William’s son, Fred, joined the business and helped with the management and operation of the brewery. Fred worked with his father until the business was closed nearly a decade later.

The process of making beer consisted of malt being elevated to the top floor of the brew house, where the beer was taken through several brewing stages by the force of gravity, until it reached the

stock house. It was there the beer was packed into kegs and bottled by a filling machine.

With the ratification of the 18th Amendment on Jan. 29, 1919, and officially taking effect the following year, the Gebhard Brewery was forced to cease operation by January 1920. Within a few months, the brewing equipment was sold, and by 1921, the brewery buildings were sold and the tall brew house was converted into a flour mill. One such company that used the old brew house was the Morris Milling Company, which was in operation from 1935-1958.

COVER STORY ENFORCING ORDINANCES

• ADA Continued from page 1 Before the passage 25 years ago of the Americans with Disabilities Act, there was a time when many businesses were largely inaccessible for people with disabilities without any consequence, and ramps and doors leading into governmental buildings weren’t wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs.

Although much progress has been made, accessibility remains a key issue in disability advocates’ fight for improved quality of life.

Under the 1990 act, public buildings – from sports stadiums and hotels to day care centers and courthouses – must meet federal accessibility standards, and businesses must make “reasonable” accommodations for those with disabilities.

James Pomykala, owner of Road Runner Striping & Construction, stands over a set of freshly painted lines Friday at Eden Bar and Grill in Joliet.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@ shawmedia.com

Joliet’s ordinance

Joliet has made strides since officials approved a local ordinance in 2004 designed so that the city could enforce ADA standards and issue citations for noncompliant businesses.

Of the 2,700 buildings on file within the city’s building inspection division, just under 300 remain out of compliance in some manner, according to Kevin Gahr, the city’s Americans with Disabilities Act building inspector. That compares to the 2,100 buildings Gahr found to be out of compliance in 2007.

For the most part, business owners voluntarily came into compliance over the years in providing handicapped parking, wheelchair ramps, accessible elevators or improved entryways.

But the lack of accessible bathrooms remains a key issue for many businesses housed in older buildings because of financial restraints or limited renovating options, Gahr said.

The federal ADA applies to

What is the ADA? The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits discrimination and ensures equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

Employment

This section prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.

Government services/ public transit

This section prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities, and all new construction, allowing for structures built before 1990 to be “grandfathered in” unless the owners undergo substantial remodeling.

Even then, there are loopholes allowing business owners to go several years without having to install an accessible bathroom.

If remodeling costs are below $100,000, businesses are not required to make those changes, according to the city’s ordinance. It’s certainly a way to get around the requirements, but Gahr said in many instances, these are old buildings that don’t allow for the changes.

Under the 2004 city ordi-

nance, the city can enforce $75 fines on business owners with accessibility violations. The law also allows people with disabilities to issue complaints when a public building is found to be not accessible.

Gahr, if he wishes, can then issue tickets and require a renovation plan from the business

owner about how they intend to come into compliance.

Pam Heavens, executive director with the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, said her organization wants to get more involved with noncompliant businesses.

Lack of intepreters a bigger issue at Will County Courthouse • ADA Continued from page 3 The nonprofit doesn’t have its own list of noncompliant buildings, she said, but she would rather educate business owners so that they want to come into compliance on their own.

Gahr said the 293 businesses that remain out of compliance have been given an “on hold” status, adding that he hasn’t issued tickets for some time.

“Some of these older buildings are just not feasible. They would literally have to move concrete walls just to put in a larger bathroom. The space is simply not big enough,” Gahr said. “In those instances, I’ve [decided] to leave it for now, and if they come back for a building remodel permit, I’ll encourage them to make those changes.”

Still, Gahr said he believes compliance has improved over the years, noting how the city went from nearly 2,100 businesses out of compliance in 2007 to 293 in 2015.

“I think, at first, it was hard to get [business and property] owners to understand that people with disabilities want to be patrons and spend money, too,” Gahr said.

Beyond businesses in Joliet, the Will County Courthouse and the Will County Forest Preserve District have had both challenges and successes in coming into the compliance with ADA accessibility standards.

‘An impossible situation’

The aging Will County Courthouse – built in the 1960s, long before the ADA was signed into law – was found noncompliant in the mid-2000s when the U.S. Department of Justice, the agency responsible for enforcing the ADA, inspected the courthouse and other buildings in Will County.

In response to the noted violations, Will County officials renovated the base of the courthouse’s wheelchair ramp, and added more railings and Braille to the elevators.

Drinking fountains were lowered, and curbs were removed.

But what is perhaps a bigger issue at the courthouse is not having enough foreign

Courthouses in the state of Illinois must meet ADA requirements, as required by the Illinois Supreme Court Minimum Courtroom Standards.

The ADA requires courthouses to provide reasonable access to foreign language interpreters.

Providing interpreters has been a long-standing issue, Schoenstedt said.

“You see it all the time. Our interpreters are being pulled out of the hallways. Until there’s one in the courtroom, the judges can’t do anything,” Schoenstedt said. “It’s been an impossible situation for a long time.”

Because of budget restraints, the courthouse has only four interpreters – three full time, one part time – on

“We could easily use twice that,” Schoenstedt said. “Will County has really become a melting pot ... and we have to provide these services.”

The four designated interpreters do not know American Sign Language, Schoenstedt said, so the county contracts with outside firms in instances where they are needed.

Schoenstedt said accessibility is a key topic in speaking with the design teams about the county’s plan for a new

courthouse.

“With a new courthouse, we have an advantage in that the building will be built from scratch,” Schoenstedt said.

‘It’s a commitment on our part’

In proposing its five-year capital improvements program earlier this year, Forest Preserve District of Will County officials slated about $2 million over the long term to address remaining ADA deficiencies, said Ralph Schultz,

the district’s director of planning and operations.

The district has come a long way since the U.S. Justice Department toured the district’s Sugar Creek Administration Center building in 2008 and noted some deficiencies.

A consultant hired soon after that documented more than 1,000 ADA deficiencies, with violations ranging from incorrect sign heights and wheelchair ramp angles to inaccessible bathrooms and too few handicapped parking spaces, Schultz said.

From 2009 to 2015, the Forest Preserve District of Will County spent about $1.8 million and eliminated about 67 percent – or 731 infractions – of the original 1,081 deficiencies, Schultz said.

“We’ve addressed what we think were highest priority sites,” he said, with much of the work being incorporated in the district’s plans of upgrading buildings or access areas.

While all the deficiencies can’t be fixed overnight, Schultz said the district has every intention of getting there.

“It’s a commitment on our part,” he said.

ROMEOVILLE

Cruise night coming to Uptown Square

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A car show is returning to the Uptown Square area in Romeoville in the form of “Cruisin’ the Square” Thursday.

The event is Romeoville’s first cruise night and is expected to attract interest and business to the village’s developing downtown district near the intersection of Normantown Road and Route 53.

“This is part of an ongoing

plan for more programming in revitalization, redevelopment and more development over there,” Mayor John Noak said. “We’re testing it out a couple of nights this summer, and we may try more next year.”

The cruise night, co-hosted by the village of Romeoville and Romeoville Area Chamber of Commerce, will be held 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Edward Hospital Athletic and Events Center at 55 Phelps Ave.

It will feature a car show, food and beverages, music, inflatables and more attractions.

Cruisin’ the Square was originally scheduled for July 16, but the event was rained out.

There hasn’t been a defined downtown area in Romeoville. But village officials have targeted the Uptown Square area – anchored by the athletic and events center – to become a town center.

The 76,792-square-foot ath-

letic and events center opened in March 2014, built on the rubble of an old ACE hardware store.

The project was funded by tax-increment financing, or TIF, funds for a downtown that includes commercial corridors along Route 53 from Normantown to Romeo Road, and spans east to the Des Plaines River and Romeoville Prairie Nature Preserve.

Uptown Square is seen by village officials as a catalyst for economic growth in

the downtown area. Since the athletic and events center opened, several organizations, private investments and businesses have used TIF funds for infrastructure improvements.

Noak said residents can expect more programming in Uptown Square as the village promotes the designated downtown area.

In addition to Thursday, a second Cruisin’ the Square night is scheduled for the same time Aug. 27.

Lockport water supply not affected by bacteria found at home spigot

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Lockport city officials detected a spigot in a residential area carrying bacteria, but they say it didn’t reach the city water supply and there is no public health threat.

City Administrator Ben Benson said city staff in June conducted tests that randomly sampled water throughout the city and found a sample that was positive for coliform bacteria.

Coliform bacteria originate as organisms in soil or vegetation and in the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals, according to the National Ground Water Association.

They have long been an indicator of water contamination and the possible presence of intestinal parasites and pathogens.

Benson said the bacteria came from a spigot from a Lockport home in the Port Ridge subdivision. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency allows for one sample to be bad without notifying the public, he said.

However, after re-testing the same location in July, they found the sample tested for coliform bacteria again. After an investigation, city staff determined the bacteria did not originate from the city water supply but from an external spigot in the front of the Port Ridge subdivision home they sampled. “[The bacteria] wasn’t in the supply, so it’s not in our system,” Benson said. “We were able to treat that with the chlorine and get it re-tested and it passed.”

A re-testing of that sample showed up clean last week, he said.

He said an order to boil city water to kill any potential bacteria present was not needed. He said there is no public health risk as the bacteria was

“[The bacteria] wasn’t in the supply, so it’s not in our system. We were able to treat that with the chlorine and get it re-tested and it passed.”

Ben Benson Lockport city administrator isolated to the spigot where it was found.

City officials were mailing out information about the incident to about 10,000 water system customers Friday and Saturday, he said.

He said in the past 10 years

city officials have come across four similar incidents. City staff does random sampling of water about 26 times per year.

“It’s not something that happens often. We take every it seriously,” he said.

The IEPA does not consider Lockport city’s source water susceptible to contamination.

Coliform bacteria are common in the environment and generally are not harmful, according to the IEPA. But some types can cause serious illness. Illinois health officials said bacteria in the water can enter water wells from either materials and tools used in the construction of a well, from septic failures near the well or feedlot runoff.

New features make Ford trucks stand out of the crowd SPONSORED BY

Cantigny VFW #367 (815) 722-5398 826 Horseshoe Dr, Joliet

Participants will learn about using smartphones, how to utilize today’s technology to keep in touch with loved ones, games, and apps that can help manage their health and lives, according to a news release from McDermed’s office.

“In today’s technologically fast paced world, it can be difficult to keep up, especially for older generations.”

McDermed said in the news release. “I’m hoping that participants will find the answers to many of their questions and hopefully will be able to walk away knowing how to utilize technology to make their lives a little easier.”

By Diane Krieger Spivak Ford trucks are loaded with new features - some you never thought of, but Ford engineers did.

First and foremost there’s Ford’s new EcoBoost engine – with the highest EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of any gas-powered light-duty pickup.

Then there’s the new Electronic Display MyView 8-inch Productivity Screen with towing information that helps hauling everything from produce to horse trailers and off-roading.

MyView allows drivers to shift between tire pressure, trailer information, off-road mode and trip fuel.

The cab of the pickup truck is redefined with 170-degree swing-out rear doors in the SuperCab for ease in entry, exit, loading and unloading. The cargo volume in the first row is nearly doubled.

There’s a new Power Sliding rear window that’s a seamless piece of glass with a center section that seals tightly when closed and allows for the use of the defroster even when open.

The result is improved visibility and reduced cab noise.

Even the body is new - highstrength, military-grade, aluminum alloy. Already used in aerospace, commercial transportation and other industries, it makes the truck’s body lighter, stronger and more resistant to dents, helping it tow and haul more, accelerate and stop faster, and operate more efficiently. The frame is highstrength steel.

There are other new features that aren’t as noticeable, but make life easier on the road. Take the clustered button controls, for instance. All lighting controls are grouped together on one side of the instrument panel, while all radio control buttons are on the right side. Towing and other controls are to the right of the steering wheel as well.

The large box step on the exterior surface area holds a full-size work boot and slides back under the bed when not in use.

Check out these new features and more at Rod Baker Ford, in Plainfield.

Little Miss Channahon and her court then represent the village of Channahon during the year at various activities such as the Christmas Tree Lighting and the Memorial Day commemoration, among other things.

Since I don’t have daughters, I didn’t have anyone to participate in the Little Miss Channahon Contest, but I did volunteer during the event many, many years ago for a couple years.

I still remember how much fun the girls had practicing for the group dance (I helped to choreograph it) and while some had a few nerves on stage, they always seemed to shine through when the time came.

This is a nice opportunity for young girls to participate in something that’s not all about appearance or even talent. They have to work together as a team for the dance and then feature their own personalities for the rest of the program.

Three Rivers Fest contests highlight babies and girls CHANNAHON – Babies ages 6 to 35 months old are being summoned to participate in the upcoming Beautiful Baby Contest at the Three Rivers Festival in Channahon, to be held Aug. 15.

Event chair Amy Singletary is hoping to see more babies involved this year than in the past few years. Singletary has been organizing the event for the past 10 years and gets to see firsthand how much fun and exciting it is for the parents and little ones.

The contest had a hiatus for a couple years before Singletary took over, and it’s been one of the highlights of the festival for parents ever since.

My oldest son was just a toddler when I entered him in the contest in 1990 – he’s now 26. He won second place in his category.

I do remember the day was hot and he was a bit out of sorts, but when he was up on stage, he flashed his sweet grin and gave a little wave with some prompting.

That, along with a mop of curly white hair, made him a shoo-in for a win. I was a very proud mom.

To enter your own little mophead, register at Channahon Park District’s Arrowhead Community Center.

New Lenox man drowns Friday in Wisconsin River

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – A new economic development manager was hired last week to bring in more business to Crest Hill during the same meeting in which City Council canceled a contract with its retail recruitment contractor.

Manteno resident Scott Scott McMaster will McMaster be the new economic development and zoning manager. He will have a salary of $62,500 with full benefits.

According to McMaster’s resume, he has previous experience working at real estate firms in Frankfort, Mokena and Tinley Park.

“My goal is to get our community together with businesses and bring a number of new businesses to Crest Hill,” McMaster said.

Mayor Ray Soliman said he was excited about the hire.

“I am confident that with his experience and knowledge in real estate, he is the right person to work with the existing businesses and to attract new businesses to the city of Crest Hill,” Soliman said.

McMaster said he plans to focus on development along the Weber Road corridor, which extends from Renwick Road south to Caton Farm Road.

“I know that in comparison to other communities, Crest Hill is very young,” McMaster said. “I have gotten some feedback from the aldermen and alderwomen, and I know there is room for growth there.”

While the vote on McMaster’s hire passed, two aldermen, Scott Dyke and John Vershay, were opposed to it.

“I don’t think this is money well spent,” Dyke said, noting that property owners in the corridor have had a

hard time recruiting businesses themselves. “This property has sat empty. We did a comprehensive plan for the community, and it said we need to start getting more rooftops in the community to attract new business.”

While Dyke advocated more residential development in the city, Soliman said Crest Hill needs to focus on becoming competitive with neighboring municipalities on economic development.

Buxton contract

The council also voted to not continue its $50,000-a-year contract with retail recruiting consultant Buxton Group.

“They provided the service they said they would,” Soliman said, noting that the relationship was good with the company. The city, with McMaster, will now reach out to 20 businesses identified by Buxton as good fits for Crest Hill.

Elmer Bell of Shorewood before swapping a professional career for education degrees and teaching.

As a college student, Elmer continued to play ball – and more than once he played on All-State teams. One newspaper reporter from that time asked Elmer why he was leaving professional baseball. And Elmer had a ready answer.

“He said his catching behind the plate was outstanding, but he realized his hitting was not what it should be,” Janet said. “He laughingly told one reporter that he couldn’t hit the floor if he fell out of bed.”

Through the years, Elmer coached at Laraway School, the former Joliet East High School, College of St. Francis (now University of St. Francis in Joliet) and Troy Junior High School, where he also taught social studies, Janet said.

At CSF as the college’s first athletic director, Elmer designed and built its first baseball diamond. For many summers, Elmer coached pony leagues and at June’s Athletic Camp in the Catskills, Janet said.

Many players Elmer coached went on to play professional ball, Scott said. On and off the field, Elmer stressed

discipline and attitude, as well as respect for the coaches, Scott added.

“He knew not everyone can be a superstar,” Scott said, “but everyone can be smart and know what to do.”

In 1981, an injection for back pain paralyzed Elmer. He spent the next 34 years (Elmer was 81 when he died April 15) in a wheelchair, although he continued coaching for 13 more years and teaching until he was 62, Janet said.

The paralysis never soured Elmer’s outlook on life.

“He was always upbeat,” Jay said, “and he always had a twinkle in his eye when he talked about his wife, children and grandchildren. He was so proud of them.”

In an email, Scott said that as much as Elmer loved baseball, he loved his family more and put them first, always.

“This past Christmas,” Scott said. “When I and my brothers and sisters were all in town for the holidays, he told me that, ‘My happiest days of the entire year are when we are all together.’ ”

SHOREWOOD – The kids that Elmer L. Bell Jr. of Shorewood coached and taught esteemed him not only for the skills they acquired under his leadership, but for preparing them for the game of life.

“They often felt they could confide in him,” said Janet Bell of Shorewood, Elmer’s wife, “when they had no one else to turn to.”

Jay Starner of Elwood, a former next-door neighbor of the Bells, also was Elmer’s assistant coach when Jay worked for Troy School District 30-C. He said working with Elmer and being friends with Elmer was one of the best experiences of his life.

If only, Starner added, today’s youth could learn under Elmer’s old-school mentoring.

“It might solve some of the problems in today’s world,” Starner said.

The multi-award-winning Elmer was so passionate for baseball that by seventh and eighth grade, he was playing ball on five teams from early spring to late fall, Janet said.

At Joliet Township High School, Elmer played all four years on the varsity team, she added.

In 1951, Elmer signed with the Philadelphia Phillies at the age of 18 and played two years in the team’s minor league system in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He then served in the U.S. Army, said Scott Bell of McHenry, Elmer’s son.

Right before Elmer signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, he also was recruited by the St. Louis Cardinals, the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers, Scott added.

“He was just a kid, getting interest from these pro teams,” Scott said.

While in Germany with the U.S. Army during the Korean War, Elmer played baseball on a traveling team, Janet said.

When Elmer returned from the service in 1955, after he and Janet got married, Elmer returned to the Phillies in Grand Forks for another two years

Lawmaker pay, a firestorm for years, heating up again

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois government by the numbers: 27 days into a new fiscal year, the state has no budget, a deficit of up to $4 billion and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner insisting that Democrats in the Legislature embrace his five pro-business and anti-corruption initiatives.

And in the face of those recalcitrant lawmakers, Rauner has brought some new figures into the equation: A 2 percent automatic cost-of-living increase, set to take effect this month to boost the $68,000 base legislative salary by nearly $1,400.

“They’ve taken a pay hike for themselves without any budget and without any real reforms,” Rauner said last week.

It’s also the first pay hike in seven years for salaries that have not kept pace with inflation.

The time lapse, the way this year’s pay hike played out and the defense Democrats have assumed this year after having rejected a pay bump in 2014 all represent a new chapter in what’s been a sordid compensation history for the General Assembly’s 177 members – a number that used to be higher until taxpayers voted to reduce it because of a pay hike.

The plot twists have Democrats cornered. House Speaker Michael Madigan won’t answer questions about it. After years of well-intended, politically popular votes to reject raises, Chicago Senate President John Cullerton now says it would violate the Illinois Constitution not to take the pay. The charter prohibits “changes in salary” during a legislator’s term.

The Democratic-controlled Legislature has been locked in a weeks-long battle with Rauner over a state budget that was supposed to be in place by July 1.

The Democrats proposed a spending plan they said protected “vital” services but was short on cash by up to $4 billion.

Rauner vetoed it and won’t settle the fiscal matter until Democrats embrace his agenda, which includes tighter restrictions on injured-worker compensation, property-tax curbs and political term limits.

Pay for state representatives and senators has been Kryptonite for decades, as witnessed by a 1978 raise provoking such vitriol that voters sliced the size of the House of Representatives by one-third; an oft-ridiculed and eventually dropped third-party review process; and court cases in the last 15 years that prompted lawmakers to make annual inflation bumps automatic.

“There’s no good way to deal with legislative compensation,” said Kent Redfield, a longtime statehouse observer as a legislative staffer and political scientist.

Former Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, at the time a political activist who decades later would play another key role in the legislative-pay saga, led a protest over the 40 percent pay hike in 1978 that culminated in a constitutional amendment to reduce House membership to 118. The dispute motivated lawmakers to create an independent Compensation Review Board to objectively determine salary hikes and cost-of-living increases, but that scorned system was abandoned in 2009.

In its demise, lawmakers retained one 1990 board-created provision – an automatic, annual cost-of-living increase based on a federal inflation index.

Then, in 2013, Quinn, as Democratic governor, vetoed money for legislative pay to force an agreement on a still-elusive pension debt-reduction plan. Cullerton and Madigan won a judge’s order that Quinn had violated the constitutional “changes in salary” dictum.

House Democrats then voted in 2014 to make annual increases part of a “continuing appropriation,” meaning the money is paid regardless of whether lawmakers provide spending authority – like this year.

Illinois budget impasse may mean no free ACT tests

SPRINGFIELD – Nervousness about college entrance tests is acute enough as it is, but questions about whether the state can pay for those exams amid Illinois’ budget impasse is adding to that anxiety this year.

The unresolved budget fight in Springfield means state money used in the past to allow juniors statewide to take the ACT exam for free may not be there this year, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Since 2001, the state has subsidized the tests – which cost around $50 a student – as a way to help those from diverse backgrounds get a shot at a higher education.

Nearly 160,000 Illinois high school graduates in 2014 took the ACT exam, at a cost to the state of several million dollars.

The test is usually given in spring, and includes reading, math and science sections.

Data show drop in Illinois prisoners but still overcrowded

SPRINGFIELD – New state data show that the number of people incarcerated in Illinois prisons has fallen in recent years but the state’s facilities remain overcrowded.

The most recent report on Illinois Department of Corrections facilities shows the agency held 47,483 inmates in May 2015.

That’s the lowest since May 2010 when the department reported 47,150 inmates behind bars. The peak was in January 2013 with 49,321 inmates, the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reported.

The state prison system’s facilities are designed to house 32,000 prisoners.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has asked a special committee to study how to reduce the Illinois prison population by 25 percent over the next decade. The Illinois State Commission on Criminal Justice and Sentencing Reform is scheduled to hold a public hearing Monday in Chicago.

“A reduced prison population not only saves taxpayer dollars but it also promotes a safer prison environment and builds opportunity for stronger communities,” Corrections spokeswoman Nicole Wilson said.

Chicago sex trafficker gets 10 years in federal prison

CHICAGO – A Chicago man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for forcing teenage girls into prostitution.

Arnell Chase Misher lured girls aged 13, 16 and 17 to engage in sex with men for money during

the summer of 2012.

The 31-year-old Misher admitted in a plea agreement that he helped prepare an online advertisement featuring explicit photos of the 17-year-old. He said he accompanied the 13-year-old to an area known for prostitution and waited for her to deliver money to him from her sexual encounters with men.

Misher and a co-defendant, 23-year-old Braundii Young, each pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion. Young is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 27.

Hundreds of NIU employees want to join union

DeKALB – Nearly 650 workers at Northern Illinois University have signed a petition and filed it

with the state labor board asking to organize under the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union.

The 650 workers include clerical, paraprofessional, technical and administrative employees.

AFSCME represents other NIU employees and about 5,000 other state university workers.

The workers’ request comes after employees say they’ve gone years without pay raises and have increasing workloads, The DeKalb Daily Chronicle reported.

“Forming ourselves as a union is at least an option to get us better pay,” said Jennifer Jeffries, who started working at NIU in 2011 as an office support staffer.

NIU spokesman Bradley Hoey said university officials are aware of the workers’ complaints and NIU President Doug Baker and other university leaders are looking at different ways to address the concerns.

Police in Round Lake ask village leaders to buy body cameras

ROUND LAKE – Members of the village board in the Chicago suburb of Round Lake are considering a request from the police department to buy 15 body cameras.

The department wants to purchase FirstVu HD cameras from the Kansas-based company Digital Ally. It will cost nearly $14,000. The village board will vote on the request Aug. 3.

Police Chief Michael Gillette told board members at a meeting last week that the cameras would act as “another tool to help officers collect and preserve evidence.”

He said there’s a situation every day “where a camera would have been useful.” If approved, officers in the department’s patrol unit would start using the cameras at the beginning of next year.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS State health insurance exchanges struggle

WASHINGTON – State-run health insurance markets that offer coverage under President Barack Obama’s health law are struggling with high costs and disappointing enrollment. These challenges could lead more of them to turn over operations to the federal government or join forces with other states.

Hawaii’s marketplace, the latest cautionary tale, was awarded $205 million in federal startup grants. It has spent about $139 million and enrolled 8,200 customers for individual coverage in 2015. Unable to sustain itself, the state marketplace is turning over sign-ups to the federal HealthCare.gov for 2016.

Twelve states and the District of Columbia fully control their markets. Experts estimate about half face financial difficulties.

Federal taxpayers invested nearly $5 billion in startup grants to the states, expecting that state markets would become self-sustaining. Most of the federal money has been spent, and states have to face the consequences.

Planned Parenthood official: no profit

WASHINGTON – The president of Planned Parenthood said her organization’s clinics never adjust the abortion procedure to better preserve fetal organs for medical research and that the organization’s charges cover only the cost of transmission to researchers.

Planned Parenthood has come

under congressional scrutiny after the release of two stealthily recorded videos that showed officials discussing how they provide aborted fetal organs for research.

Abortion opponents said the videos show the organization is illegally harvesting and selling organs. Three congressional committees are making inquiries.

Planned Parenthood’s President, Cecile Richards, said Sunday the group has done nothing illegal and is the target of a political smear campaign.

“I stand behind the health care that we provide at Planned Parenthood. Women trust Planned Parenthood,” Richards said. “And I look forward to anyone who wants to look into our policies and procedures.”

Turkey calls for NATO meeting

ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey on Sunday called for a meeting of its NATO allies to discuss threats to its security and its airstrikes targeting Islamic State militants in Syria and Kurdish rebels in Iraq.

The move came as Turkey’s state-run media reported that Turkish F-16 jets again took off from the country’s southeastern Diyarbakir air base to hit Kurdistan Workers’ Party targets across the border in northern Iraq.

There was no immediate confirmation of the report by TRT television, which came hours after authorities said PKK militants detonated a car-bomb near Diyarbakir, killing two soldiers and wounding four others.

Texas county where Bland died has history of racial tension

By MICHAEL GRACZYK The Associated Press HEMPSTEAD, Texas – In the searing 100-degree Texas heat, Sylvester Nunn uses three worn beach umbrellas to protect himself and the produce piled in the bed of his old Chevy pickup truck as he carries on a generations-old summer tradition.

The 78-year-old is selling watermelons by the roadside just outside Hempstead, where the perfect combination of sandy soil and rainfall make this the watermelon capital of Texas. During the first half of the 20th century, the area was the nation’s largest shipper of the sweet red fruit.

But it’s a more troubling tradition – of racial strife – that has resurfaced here in the days since a black woman named Sandra Bland died in the county jail after a traffic stop by a white state trooper.

Video of the confrontational stop ignited long-simmering passions and caused some blacks to raise their guard around law enforcement in Waller County and the county seat of Hempstead, once known as “Six Shooter Junction” because of white supremacist violence in the 1800s.

“I’ve lived here my whole life,” said Nunn, who is black.

“I know how it could happen, but nothing’s happened to me. It’s been all right with me.”

Other people insist the area about 50 miles northwest of Houston has left its troubled past behind.

Bland, a 2009 graduate of nearby Prairie View A&M University, had just accepted a job at her alma mater when she was jailed July 10 for allegedly assaulting the trooper who pulled her over for an improper lane change.

Three days later, the woman from the Chicago suburb of Naperville was found hanged in her cell – a suicide, according to a medical examiner.

AP/ Courtesy of Bland family

In this undated photo provided by the Bland family, Sandra Bland poses for a photo. The family of Bland, who was found dead in her Texas jail cell, assert that she would not have taken her own life, but authorities are pointing to mounting evidence that they said shows she hanged herself.

Bland’s relatives and other supporters dispute that finding.

The FBI is leading an investigation.

“It’s a sad thing,” Michael Wolfe, Hempstead’s mayor since 2004 and the city’s third black mayor since the 1980s, said of Bland’s death and the negative attention it has drawn. “It is not a true reflection of people who live here.

It creates a level of animosity that may not be true. The community has changed tremendously.”

District Attorney Elton Mathis acknowledges the county “does and did have a lot of things that went on here that we’re not particularly proud of, as far as racial interaction.”

Mathis said he could understand how some people “looking at some of the bad things in our past would jump to the conclusion that this was a murder and not a suicide.”

But, he added, “people need to realize there is a new generation in control of government here ... a more progressive generation.”

Waller County was named for Edwin Waller, a signer of

the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico in 1836, who four years later became the first elected mayor of Austin. Whites make up 44 percent of the 47,000 residents, Hispanics 29 percent and blacks 25 percent.

First settled in the early 1820s, the area became home to slave-labor cotton plantations. Hempstead was incorporated in 1858 thanks to a railroad terminus.

The plantations were dismantled with the end of the Civil War in 1865. Three years later, historical records report a race riot, followed by unrest in the 1880s, when a White Man’s Party was established to blunt active black political participation in the county where blacks outnumbered whites.

That’s when violence blamed on the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups gave it the “Six Shooter” sobriquet.

More recently, voter intimidation and voting-rights complaints have arisen from students at Prairie View A&M University, a college established in 1876 specifically to train black teachers.

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

have singled out colleagues by name to attack them in personal terms, to impugn their character, in blatant disregard for Senate rules,” Hatch said.

“Such misuses of the Senate floor must not be tolerated.”

After Hatch spoke, Cruz rose to defend himself for making the accusation Mitch that McConnell had lied when McConnell he denied striking a deal to allow the vote to revive the Export-Import Bank.

He said he agreed with Hatch’s calls for civility but declared, “Speaking the truth about actions is entirely consistent with civility.”

And far from backing down,

Cruz reiterated his complaint about McConnell. “My saying so may be uncomfortable but it is a simple fact, entirely consistent with decorum, and no member of this body has disputed that promise was made and that promise was broken.”

About 20 senators of both parties were on the floor watching some of the speeches. Cruz’s floor speech Friday had brought nearly unheard-of drama and discord to the Senate floor. But the responses to it were just as remarkable, as senior Republicans united to defend an institution they revere and take down a junior colleague of their own party who’s gone from being an occasional nuisance, to a threat to the Senate’s very ability to function with order.

No senator rose to Cruz’s defense. And by voice vote, the Senate defeated an attempt

by Cruz to overturn a ruling made Friday that blocked him from offering an amendment related to Iran.

Cruz’s behavior was the latest example of a Republican presidential candidate causing problems for McConnell.

In May, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., infuriated fellow Republicans when he forced the temporary expiration of the Patriot Act when it was up for renewal. Some of Hatch’s remarks seemed to apply to him as well.

For his part, McConnell said that given support for the Export-Import Bank, despite his own opposition no “special deal” was needed to bring it to a vote.

La. theater shooter had history of seeking vengeance

By CLAIRE GALOFARO, MELINDA DESLATTE and KIM CHANDLER The Associated Press LAFAYETTE, La. – The stranger clenched his fists and shook his head, recounting a time when he tried and failed to beat a cat to death with a steel rod.

His audience, two women lunching at a Lafayette bistro on a Saturday afternoon, sat across from him, shocked and silent. The man in a Hawaiian-print shirt had pulled a chair up to their table minutes earlier. He stroked their dogs and started to ramble: People spend too much money on their pets. There should be a cheaper way to euthanize an animal.

This stranger told them he once took in a stray cat and it got sick, so he bashed its head with the rod but failed to kill it.

“He was hurt that the cat lived,” recalled Bonnie Barbier, who listened in horror to the bluster for 30 minutes. “It was this twisted sense that he was doing the right thing.”

Days later, John Russell Houser’s photograph flashed onto TV screens across America as the man who opened fire in a Louisiana movie theater.

“My stomach dropped,”

Barbier said of the moment she saw his photo, stern and unsmiling. “That was the man from Saturday.”

At the bistro, the man seemed unhinged and self-righteous, Barbier remembered.

He had written letters to newspapers about conspiracies, he told her. But he was too smart for the world and had to dumb down his missives so the masses might understand them.

“I’m just sitting there thinking, ‘There’s something wrong with this. He’s out of his mind because normal people don’t talk about this kind of thing,’ ” she said. “He was just so odd, and I felt really weird feelings with him.

Something inside was like, ‘Just don’t set him off. Just smile and nod.’ ” She and her friend found an excuse to slip away.

Houser, a mentally ill 59-year-old, terrified his own family and ranted in online forums about African-Americans, Jews and gays. He had lost his wife and his house and left behind a paper trail documenting a long history of seeking vengeance.

Five days after the chance meeting at the bistro, Houser walked into the theater, bought a ticket to the 7 p.m. showing of “Trainwreck” and picked a seat two rows from

A woman wipes away tears during a church service Sunday at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic church to remember and honor the victims of a deadly shooting at the Grand 16 theater in Lafayette, La. the back. Twenty minutes into the movie, he stood up in the darkness and, according to those who knew him, let loose a lifetime’s reserve of rage.

Five hundred miles away in Houser’s hometown of Columbus, Georgia, some former neighbors said his life was a decades-long collision course with disaster.

“He’s been known as a lunatic and a fool around this neck of the woods for years,” said Patrick Williams, an antiques dealer who once filed a police report alleging Houser sold him a stolen iron fence at a flea market. “He was a highly

intelligent guy but mean as a snake and dangerous. I wasn’t a bit surprised when I saw his picture on TV. And no one else that knew him was surprised either.”

Houser, who went by Rusty, was known as odd and eccentric in the cluster of towns near the state line between Georgia and Alabama where he lived nearly all his life.

Neighbors said he filled his in-ground pool with hundreds of koi. He flew a Confederate flag, passed doomsday fliers around his neighborhood, pounded out angry online missives about corruption and

injustice and spouted admiration for Adolf Hitler.

He fit the familiar mold of mass shooters, said James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University, author and prominent expert on massacres. Houser was paranoid, blamed everyone but himself, alienated his family and survived in a world of self-imposed isolation.

“If you gave me a list of names, I would have picked his out as the one that done it,” said Vince Woodward, who was then active in local Republican politics.

But many towns have a resident crackpot. And hindsight is an inaccurate lens, Fox said.

“There’s a very large haystack of people who have these characteristics, but very few needles that will indeed carry out a rampage,” he said. “They’re not red flags.

They’re yellow. The only time they turn red is after blood is spilled on them.”

Mass shooters often sound a lot like Houser, he said. But thousands of men who sound a lot like Houser don’t become mass shooters. Fox compared the relationship to another sort of tragedy: Most planes that crash do so in bad weather. But most planes withstand storms without plunging from the sky.

WASHINGTON – Senior Senate Republicans lined up Sunday to rebuke Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for harshly criticizing Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, an extraordinary display of intraparty division played out live on the Senate floor.

As the Senate met for a rare Sunday session, Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and John Cornyn of Texas each rose to counter a stunning floor speech Cruz gave Friday accusing McConnell, R-Ky., of lying.

None of them mentioned Cruz by name, but the target of their remarks could not have

been clearer. The drama came as the Senate defeated a procedural vote to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law and took a step toward reviving the federal Export-Import Bank, both amendments on a must-pass highway bill.

“Squabbling and sanctimony may be tolTed erated in other venues and Cruz perhaps on the campaign trail, but they have no place among colleagues in the United States Senate,” said Hatch, the Senate’s president pro tempore. Cruz is running for president.

“The Senate floor has even become a place where senators

Obama says Kenya is at ‘crossroads’

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya – Declaring Kenya at a “crossroads” between promise and peril, President Barack Obama on Sunday pressed the nation of his father’s birth to root out corruption, treat women and minorities as equal citizens, and take responsibility for its future.

Closing his historic visit with an address to the Kenyan people, Obama traced the arc of the country’s evolution from colonialism to independence, as well as his own family’s history here. Today, Obama said, young Kenyans are no longer constrained by the limited options of his grandfather, a cook for the country’s former British rulers, or his father, who left to seek an education in America.

“Because of Kenya’s progress – because of your potential – you can build your future right here, right now,” Obama told the crowd of 4,500 packed into a sports arena in the capital of Nairobi. But he bluntly warned that Kenya must make “tough choices” to bolster its fragile democracy and fast-growing economy.

Obama’s visit here, his first as president, captivated a country that views him as a local son. Thick crowds lined the roadways to watch the presidential motorcade speed through the city Sunday, some climbing on rooftops to get a better view. The audience inside the arena chanted his name as he finished his remarks.

The president left Kenya Sunday afternoon, pausing longer than normal atop the stairs to Air Force One to wave to the crowd, a huge grin on his face. He arrived two hours later in Addis Aba-

ba, the Ethiopian capital, where he met with diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in the evening.

Obama has written emotionally about his first visit to Kenya as a young man nearly 30 years ago, and he recounted many of those same memories in his remarks Sunday.

The battered Volkswagen his sister drove. Meeting his brothers for the first time.

The airport employee who recognized his last name.

“That was the first time that my name meant something,” he said.

The president barely knew

his father, who died in 1982 after leaving the U.S. to return to Kenya. However, Obama has numerous family members in the country, including his half-sister Auma Obama, who introduced her brother Sunday.

“He’s one of us,” she said.

“But we’re happy to share him with the world.”

The bulk of Obama’s address was a candid commentary on the East African nation’s future. He spent much time warning about the risks of government corruption, calling it an “anchor” that could weigh down the country’s promising future.

“Too often here in Kenya, corruption is tolerated because that’s how it’s always been done,” he said. “Here in Kenya, it’s time to change habits.”

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has taken steps to tackle corruption by suspending four Cabinet secretaries and 16 other senior officials amid an investigation into allegations of dishonesty. But the action has been met with skepticism by the public because in the past, suspensions of senior officials haven’t resulted in anyone being convicted of a crime.

Suicide bomb hits top Somali hotel, kills 9

By ABDI GULED The Associated Press MOGADISHU, Somalia – A suicide bomber rammed a truck rigged with explosives into the blast walls around one of Mogadishu’s most secure hotels, severely damaging the building and killing nine people including a Chinese diplomat, Somalia’s foreign minister said Sunday.

Abdisalam Omer told The Associated Press by phone from Djibouti that a Kenyan diplomat was also wounded in the attack.

The attack was claimed by the al-Qaida-linked Al-Shabab group and wounded some 20 people. The walled, luxury Jazeera Hotel is considered the most secure in Somalia’s capital and is frequented by diplomats, foreigners and visiting heads of state.

“This is really scary – destroying the Jazeera hotel like this means no blast walls can make anyone safe,” said bystander Yusuf Mohammed.

The use of huge truck bombs is a relatively new phenomenon and throws into doubt whether any place in the capital is now adequately protected.

While blast destroyed at least eight rooms and stunned the residents of the Somali capital, it wasn’t as bad as it might have been because the truck, which contained a ton of explosives, was stopped at the blast walls outside the hotel.

“The damage is big but a lot less because the truck bomb couldn’t go beyond the walls that lay a few meters from the hotel’s perimeter walls,” said Mohammed Abdi, a police officer.

Somalis security forces secure the scene of a suicide truck bomb attack Sunday in the capital Mogadishu, Somalia.

Nervous soldiers fired in the air to disperse a crowd who surged toward the hotel after the blast as medical workers transported wound-

ed victims into awaiting ambulances.

The attack comes as Somali forces backed by troops from the African Union have launched an offensive, dubbed Operation Jubba Corridor, to push al-Shabab out of its last strongholds. The coalition already has driven the group out of the capital.

In a statement, Al-Shabab said the attack was in retaliation for the deaths of dozens of civilians at the hands of Ethiopian forces, which are part of the AU force, and that the hotel was targeted because it hosts “Western” embassies coordinating the offensive.

The attack came as President Barack Obama was leaving neighboring Kenya for Ethiopia. The president’s visit has included discussions about how to deal with the threat of al-Shabab.

Five-day cease-fire underway in Yemen

By AHMED AL-HAJ The Associated Press SANAA, Yemen – Saudi-led coalition airstrikes came to a halt in Yemen early Monday after a five-day humanitarian truce went into effect, witnesses and security officials said.

However, ground fighting broke out almost immediately in the restive city of Taiz following random shelling by Shiite Houthi rebels in three neighborhoods, they said.

Security officials said ground fighting also has erupted in Marib province and in the area surrounding the strategic al-Anad military base in Lahj province.

Fighting in the southern port city of Aden has quieted, residents said, with an occasional volley of gunfire heard in the area immediately after the ceasefire took effect.

The Saudi-led and U.S.backed coalition of mainly Gulf Arab countries has been waging an air campaign since March against the Iran-supported rebels, who control most of northern Yemen and the capital, Sanaa.

The pause declared by the Saudi-led coalition began at 11:59 p.m. Sunday. It is intended to help allow humanitarian aid to be delivered to ease the suffering of civilians in the Arab world’s poorest country.

The coalition made the unexpected announcement about the humanitarian pause on Saturday. The statement, carried on Saudi state media, said the coalition will cease military operations, but that it will respond should Houthi rebels or their allies conduct any military actions or movements.

The rebels, known as Houthis, have expressed doubt over the truce. One Houthi official said it will likely mark “the beginning of a new war.” Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, the head of the Houthi’s Revolutionary Council, said Sunday that the group had not received official notification of the truce from the United Nations.

GETTING THEIR HITS Slammers do ‘OK job’ on offense, but lose to ThunderBolts / 21

THUNDERBOLTS 14, SLAMMERS 5

Slammers drop finale with Windy City

By CURT HERRON

Joliet Slammers catcher Jack Cleary waits for the ball as the Windy City ThunderBolts’ Alex Chittenden is safe at home.

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Things started out badly and didn’t improve much for the Joliet Slammers in their attempt to take the rubber game of a weekend series with Windy City.

The ThunderBolts scored five runs in the first inning and built an 11-2 advantage in the fourth as they went on to claim a 14-5 Frontier League victory Sunday before 1,175 fans at Silver Cross Field.

“Offensively, I thought that we did an OK job since we got our hits,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “But we didn’t give ourselves a chance to win because we got into a deep hole. We kept trying to come back, but they kept adding on runs on us.

“Since the All-Star break, we’ve had the lead in the majority of our games, so we’re looking for guys who can put up zeros. [Luke] Crumley and [Spencer] Medick went out and did that. There’s jobs to be had in our starting rotation.

We have to get it done on the pitching side – and, in particular, with starters.

“This series was a big one for us, and we only win one, and that’s disappointing. We were hoping to get at least two out of three, if not all three.

When you only win one, it’s tough.”

Slammers starter Adam Panayotovich – an All-American at the University of St.

Francis – had a rough outing, yielding eight runs and seven hits in 21⁄3 innings.

The big blow in the ThunderBolts’ five-run first inning was a grand slam by Ransom LaLonde, who finished with five RBIs. Joliet (24-36) got a run back in the first when Charlie White (2 for 5) scored on a grounder

by Mike Garza.

After the ThunderBolts (23-

36) added three more runs in the third, Joliet got a run in the bottom of that inning when Nate Roberts (2 for 3) homered.

Alfredo Rodriguez (2 for 5) just missed following that blast with one of his own.

Windy City collected three more runs in the fourth, with Cody Keefer (3 for 5, 3 runs, 4 RBIs) driving in two of those runs. Phil Bates (2 for 3, 2 runs) homered for the Slammers in

“We kept trying to come back, but they kept adding on runs on us.”

Jeff Isom Joliet Slammers manager the bottom of that inning.

ThunderBolts starter Zak Wasserman allowed three runs on seven hits in five innings to get the win.

A pair of newcomers pitched well for the Slammers in relief. Luke Crumley and Spencer Medick only allowed one run and three hits combined in five innings of work.

Joliet narrowed the gap a bit in the eighth after loading the bases with no outs. A 1-2-3 double play looked as if it ended the threat, but Hunter Ridge delivered a two-out single.

Windy City – which outhit the Slammers, 15-12 – ended the scoring with a pair of runs in the ninth off of Navery Moore, who had only allowed five earned runs this season.

YOUTH BASEBALL – MUSTANG REGION CHAMPIONSHIP: CHANNAHON 7, BERWYN 3

Channahon rolls to Mustang Region title

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – It’s one of the oldest sayings in the coach’s handbook: Keep hitting the ball hard, and it will find a hole.

Coaches generally use that line when their team has hardhit balls go right at opposing defenders for outs.

Channahon Mustang coach Frenando Rizo used it after the second inning Sunday in the championship game of the Mustang (10U) Region after his team had hit balls hard at Berwyn defenders in their first two at-bats.

“I told them after the second inning that we were hitting the ball hard,” Rizo said.

“I told them that if they keep doing that, the hits are going to fall in.

“Sometimes, it’s easy for kids this age to get discouraged – but they didn’t, and they kept hitting it hard, and we got some runs.”

The team listened, and the hits finally started to drop. By the time the third inning was over, Channahon had erased a 2-0 deficit and turned it into a 6-2 lead en route to a 7-3 victory and a trip to next weekend’s North Zone Tournament in Lafayette, Indiana.

Berwyn had scored a run in each of the first two innings, both times when a runner stole third and the throw got away and allowed the runner to score.

In the bottom of the third, however, the Channahon offense sprang to life.

Dominic Cioni led off the inning with a hard-hit ball to short that the shortstop couldn’t handle and was safe at first. Cioni then stole second and third before Gabe Knowles singled to right to bring him home. With Knowles running on the pitch, Jeremy Morrero doubled to left-center, with Knowles coming all the way home with the tying run.

Mitch Thomas followed with a double to left, scoring Morrero for a 3-2 Channahon lead. After Thomas stole third, winning pitcher Carter Gessner singled and scored Thomas. Gessner then stole second and scored from there on a grounder to

Channahon’s Carter Gessner pitches in Sunday’s 7-3 win over Berwyn in the Mustang Region title game in Channahon. Gessner allowed only two hits and struck out nine in six innings.

Channahon’s Mitch Thomas slides into second with an RBI double and give the team a 3-2 lead in the third inning that eventually grew to 6-2 by the time the inning ended.

“Once we got the lead, I didn’t want to let them get it back,” Gessner said.

The defense was solid all day for Channahon, especially with Roberson at third. He contained first-inning damage with a nice backhand play on a ball down the line and threw the runner out. He also recorded assists in the third and fourth innings.

“Our defense was real good,” Rizo said. “I was just telling Michael [Roberson] that he was a vacuum cleaner over there today. And, Carter seemed to get stronger as the game went on. He struggled a little bit early, but he really got in a groove and was strong at the end.

“This is a fun team to be around. They love to play, and they love to get dirty. They run first by Sully Minor. An out the middle by Andrew Forillo fifth innings, striking out two the bases well, and everyone in the fourth and all three in up and down the lineup hits later, Michael Roberson III to put Channahon ahead, 6-2.

That was all Gessner need- the fifth. He went the full six well.

Busch grabs Indy win as comeback continues

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Kyle Busch’s incredible comeback rolled through Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Busch won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday for a weekend sweep at the historical track.

Busch missed the first 11 races of the season with a broken right leg and broken left foot. He returned in late May and has won three consecutive Sprint Cup Series races and four of the last five.

“This has been a phenomenal return,” Busch said. “I won’t say phenomenal year because it was a dismal year to start, but I guess I’ll take that 11-week vacation any year if it’s going to look like this.”

Now he has a prestigious Brickyard victory to give him one of NASCAR’s elusive crown jewels. His Indianapolis victory ranks alongside his Southern 500 win at Darlington Raceway as the biggest of his career.

“Maybe I found my happy place,” Busch said in victory lane when asked if he has found a new perspective since he was injured in a crash the day before the season-opening Daytona. 500.

Busch, who also won the second-tier Xfinity Series race Saturday at Indianapolis, moved 23 points away from cracking the top 30 in the standings. NASCAR granted him a waiver that will make him eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship should he be ranked inside the top 30 in points.

“We’re a championship-contending team – we just need to be championship eligible,” Busch said.

The win for Joe Gibbs Racing was the

first Sprint Cup Series victory at Indianapolis for Toyota, which has now won at all 23 active tracks.

Chevrolet had entered the race on a 12year winning streak and had won 16 of the 21 Brickyards. The manufacturer also won the Indianapolis 500 in May with Roger Penske driver Juan Pablo Montoya.

But Penske was denied his first Brickyard 400 win when Joey Logano finished second to Busch on Sunday in a Ford.

“Geez, I guess Kyle’s back,” Daytona 500 winner Logano said. “It’s just so frustrating running second at the Brickyard. Second hurts.”

Busch knows that all too well. He finished second in two of the previous three Brickyards.

Kevin Harvick was third in a Chevrolet, followed by Martin Truex Jr., Busch teammate Denny Hamlin and Clint Bowyer. Matt Kenseth, another Gibbs driver, was seventh, followed by Kurt Busch and Kyle Larson.

Penske driver Brad Keselowski rounded out the top 10.

Jeff Gordon’s final Brickyard 400 was a huge bust as an early spin caused considerable damage that eventually sent him to the garage for repairs. Gordon, who has a record five victories at Indianapolis, finished 42nd. He’s retiring at the end of the year.

Two-time Brickyard winner Tony Stewart was strong early but strategy backfired on the Indiana native and he finished 28th.

WHITE SOX 2, INDIANS 1

Rodon, Sanchez lead Sox to 4-game sweep The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – Carlos Rodon pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and Carlos Sanchez homered for the second straight day, leading the White Sox to a four-game sweep with a 2-1 win Sunday over the Cleveland Indians.

Rodon and Sanchez, both rookies, helped the Sox finish off their first four-game sweep in Cleveland since July 14-17, 2005. The Sox outscored the Indians, 26-5, and never trailed in the series.

Rodon (4-3) recorded the longest outing of his career and won for the first time since June 20. The left-hander allowed five hits in 62⁄3 innings, struck out nine and didn’t walk a batter.

Sanchez, who hit his first major league home run in Saturday’s 10-3 win, led off the third with a homer to center

and was 3 for 3.

Melky Cabrera had run-scoring single in the seventh to make it 2-0. He was 9 for 17 with eight RBIs in the series.

David Robertson worked out of trouble in the ninth for his 21st save. Giovanny Urshela led off with a triple, but Carlos Santana struck out. Pinch-hitter David Murphy’s groundout scored Urshela, and Brandon Moss flied out to end the game.

Danny Salazar (8-6) allowed two runs in 62⁄3 innings for the Indians, who have lost six straight at home and are 19-30 at Progressive Field.

The Sox came into the series with six losses in seven games, but moved out of last place in the AL Central and dropped Cleveland into the basement.

Shortstop Alexei Ramirez took a hit away from Jason Kipnis in the sixth with a leaping backhand grab while tumbling to the ground.

PHILLIES 11, CUBS 5

Phillies beat Cubs for 3-game series sweep The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Ryan Howard homered for the second straight day, rookie Aaron Nola got his first major league win and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cubs, 11-5, on Sunday to complete a threegame series sweep.

Maikel Franco also went deep as the major leagueworst Phillies collected 17 hits in their eighth win in nine games since the All-Star break. Franco and Domonic Brown each drove in three runs a day after Cole Hamels threw no-hitter against the Cubs.

Nola (1-1) allowed four runs and five hits in 72⁄3 innings in his second career start. The touted prospect also had an RBI single in Philadelphia’s three-run fourth.

With the game out of hand,

Cubs catcher David Ross pitched a perfect ninth. He then hit a solo homer in the bottom half of the inning.

Cubs right-hander Jason Hammel (5-5) was tagged for six runs and eight hits in 32⁄3 innings in his second outing since he was hampered by left hamstring tightness in a loss July 8 to St. Louis. He dropped to 0-3 with a 4.10 ERA in his last eight starts.

Addison Russell and Dexter Fowler homered, but the Cubs lost for the fourth time in five games.

The 22-year-old Nola, the seventh overall selection in the 2014 draft, lost, 1-0, to Tampa Bay in his major league debut Tuesday. But he got plenty of support in this one.

Franco capped Philadelphia’s three-run first with a two-run drive to left for his first homer since June 23.

BASEBALL

By JOHN KEKIS The Associated Press

smaller ballparks – Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz proved indomitable. They combined for 735 wins, 11,113 strikeouts and nine Cy Young Awards.

Biggio, who played four positions in his 20-year career, all with the Houston Astros, was indefatigable, becoming an AllStar at second base and behind the plate.

“We changed the culture in Houston by making it a baseball city,” said Biggio, who grew up on New York’s Long Island.

Martinez, 219-100 for his career, helped the Red Sox break an 86-year-old World Series drought in 2004 and is the first Boston pitcher inducted. He

grew up with five brothers and sisters in a one-room home on the outskirts of Santo Domingo and credits brother Ramon, a starter with the Dodgers during Pedro’s rookie season in Los Angeles, as a key to his career.

“I have a second dad,” said Martinez, who won 117 games and two Cy Youngs in seven seasons pitching in hitter-friendly Fenway Park. “Ramon, you are my second dad.

I followed in his footsteps and it led me to where I am today.”

Smoltz, signed by his hometown Detroit Tigers after being selected on the 22nd round of the 1985 amateur draft, was dealt to Atlanta for veteran Doyle Alexander in August

1987. And the Dodgers, thinking he might be too fragile at 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds for the rigors of the game as a starter, traded Martinez to Montreal.

Johnson, at 6-foot-10 the tallest player elected to the Hall of Fame, gave special thanks to his parents. His father died in 1992. His mother, Carol, was watching from the front row.

“Thank you, mom. You’re the Hall of Famer,” he said.

Johnson became a 20-game winner in 1997 and won four consecutive Cy Young awards with the Arizona Diamondbacks, leading them to the World Series championship in 2001. He finished with 303 victories in 22 seasons.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – Three pitchers who became dominant after trades and a rock-solid catcher-turned-second baseman have a new moniker – Hall of Famer.

Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio were inducted Sunday into the Baseball Hall of Fame and basked in the spotlight one more time with at least 40,000 fans cheering from the sundrenched field beyond.

For Martinez, the last to speak, the moment was magical as scores in the crowd waved Dominican flags for one of

their own. Martinez, who also delivered part of his speech in Spanish, and former Giants great Juan Marichal, elected in 1983, are the only Hall of Famers from the Caribbean nation.

At the end of the ceremony, Martinez beckoned Marichal to the stage and they held their flag high, one last emotional gesture as the crowd roared.

“We waited 32 years for another Dominican,” said Martinez, who wore a patch honoring his nation’s flag on one shoulder and another honoring the United States on the other.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Redoubles cause four times the fun

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman politician and orator who died in 43 B.C., said, “Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.”

At the bridge table, redoubles often double the grief of less experienced players. This week, let’s look at the various meanings for redouble.

First, the rarest redouble, which means: “Help, partner, we are in big trouble.”

Look at the North hand. East opened one diamond, South overcalled one heart, and West passed. Now North was not strong enough to act, so he passed. East reopened with a takeout double, which West passed, turning his partner’s takeout double into a penalty double, announcing long hearts.

North, anticipating that this was not his side’s best spot, made an SOS redouble. (If he had been happy with one heart doubled, he would have had to pass.)

South ran to one spade, which East doubled for penalty. North made his second rescue redouble, which resulted in South’s playing in two clubs doubled – after an auction lasting 24 calls!

West correctly led his club, attempting to cut down on declarer’s trump tricks.

East won with his king and returned a trump. South won with his 10 and led his diamond queen. East took that with his ace and led another trump, which resulted in down one.

East had to shift to his spade queen when in with the diamond ace to get the contract down two, which was tough to find. The curious may work it out.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE W A S S U P

Edited by Will Shortz

Silent ischemia is exactly like angina, except that you don’t feel it.

Some people have only angina and others have only silent episodes. But most people with narrowed arteries have both types.

Having ischemia – whether it’s painful or not – makes you more prone to having a heart attack or to develop a dangerous heart rhythm that can cause sudden death. (Sudden death can occur without a heart attack, and many heart attacks do not lead to sudden death).

That’s why it’s important to treat ischemia, even if you’re not experiencing any symptoms. Your risk of heart attack or sudden death is particularly high if you have other factors that raise your risk of heart disease.

Treatment begins with lifestyle changes. Follow the standard heart-protecting habits: eat right, get regular exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Also, keep blood pressure and cholesterol down – with medications if necessary.

Ischemia may also be treated with drugs, including: • beta blockers, which lower the heart’s workload; • calcium-channel blockers and nitrates, which widen blood vessels; • ranolazine (Ranexa), a drug that appears to increase blood flow to areas of the heart affected by ischemia.

If your ischemia is severe, you may need an artery-opening procedure called angioplasty.

of a recent stress test showed that I have “silent ischemia.” I haven’t felt any pain or discomfort. I wouldn’t even have known about it if not for the stress test. Does it need to be treated if it’s not causing any symptoms?

Dear Reader: The word “ischemia” comes from a Latin term that means “stopping blood.” If a stress test shows you have cardiac ischemia, blood flow to a part of your heart muscle is less than the heart muscle needs when you exercise. The most likely culprit is a coronary artery narrowed by cholesterol-laden plaque.

A bout of ischemia can happen when your heart is made to work harder, such as during exercise, anger or emotional stress.

The resulting shortfall in oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle can cause the chest discomfort known as angina. This pain may spread to your shoulders, arms, neck or jaw.

But here’s a little-known fact: Sometimes ischemia causes no symptoms. You might not feel anything at all. This so-called silent ischemia is surprisingly common.

Approximately 2 to 4 percent of middle-aged U.S. men are estimated to have it. And about 10 percent of middle-aged U.S. men who have cardiac risk factors – such as obesity, smoking, high cholesterol and uncontrolled high blood pressure – may have silent ischemia.

In people with diabetes, the risk may be higher.

That’s because diabetes increases the risk of having heart disease, and because diabetes injures the nerves that feel heart pain, making it silent.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Peter Stone, director of the vascular profiling research group at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He said that people with heart disease may have five to 10 times as many episodes of silent ischemia as angina.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Slow down, breathe deeply and take one step at a time. While creative projects will be most satisfying, discipline and control in other areas of your life will prove to be key elements in your quest for success. Overindulgence will lead to negative consequences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your bubbly charm and unique talent will wow the crowd today. No matter what competition you come up against, you will be a strong contender.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You should avoid borrowing or lending money. Play it safe. Don’t wait for others to do things first. Work diligently on your own and strive to be the best at what you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You can cultivate new friendships, but mixing business with pleasure will create problems. You will get positive results by listening to the plans and ideas of others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Getting into shape will boost your confi-

dence. Make a focused effort to improve your health through diet and exercise. Complete unfinished projects before they gather dust.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you act rationally, it will help to solve a difficult problem. You will not have a realistic view of the situation if you don’t get all the facts. Consider making a couple of personal adjustments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Be persistent. Not everyone will agree with your plans, but once the final results are in, it will be obvious that your thinking was right on target.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Greater involvement in your community will lead to an exciting opportunity.

You will be able to accomplish a great deal with your unique style and innovative ideas. Step into the spotlight.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t trust everyone you work with.

You will end up being blamed for something you had no part in. Be

honest but diplomatic. Getting into a heated argument will not help your career.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t overdo it. Concentrate on the projects that mean the most to you and best showcase your talents. New friendships will lead to increased socializing and activities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will face chronic health problems if you don’t focus on moderation.

Resist the urge to try a medication or supplement just because a friend recommends it. Listen to your health care provider.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Changes in your personal life are apparent. It may be time to sever a relationship if you are being restricted or have too many demands placed on you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Upcoming career changes look good. Focus on education and boosting your resume. A position that appeals to your creative nature will turn out to be quite fulfilling.

Real Life Adventures

Dear Abby: I am 32 and getting married in a year.

My biological father lives in Spain and has never been to the U.S. My mother met him when she was teaching English there. I was born in the states and never knew or spoke to my dad growing up.

When I was 5, I was adopted by my mom’s then-husband.

At 20, while studying in Spain, I located my father and his wife. We maintain a good relationship, but I haven’t been back there, and he has never met my family.

Mom harbors a lot of resentment toward my father. She tells me he took no interest in me as a baby and never sent any money or letters. She gets emotional when he is brought up in conversation. He doesn’t feel this way toward her. When I mentioned to Mom that I plan to invite him and his wife to the wedding, she got upset. She told me I have no business inviting him and that she doesn’t want to see him.

I do not share my mother’s resentment. I don’t want my father to feel excluded. I worry about Mom’s feelings and about my father’s first U.S. trip being during the wedding when I will surely be distracted with lots of things. Please advise.

– Bride Torn in two in Nebraska Dear Bride: Your father

may have no hard feelings toward your mother because it appears he accepted no emotional or financial responsibility at the time you were conceived. If he knew she was pregnant and offered no help, then all of that fell on her shoulders.

It’s appropriate you are worried about your mother’s feelings, because you should be. If you want a relationship with your father, no one can prevent you. However, if

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips he hasn’t “earned” the right to be at your wedding and if you have any sensitivity at all to your mother’s feelings, entertain him in the U.S. at a later date when he can have your full attention. (I hesitate to say “the attention he deserves” because I’m not sure he deserves any.)

Dear Abby: I’m 56 and still don’t know what I want to do with my life. I have no real talents or passions. I have 1,000 interests and hobbies, none of which would ever develop into a career. I have worked whatever job I could get to pay the bills (more or less), but they have all been near minimum wage, so 10 years from retirement, I have no savings.

I got to the point I was so miserable at my last job that I quit without having another one waiting for me, so I’ll probably end up taking whatever dead-end job I can get just to get a paycheck.

How can I convince potential employers I can do something different when I don’t believe it myself? – Diane in

Canton, IL Dear Diane: Your problem

is you have lost faith in yourself. If you have had “1,000 interests and hobbies,” I’m betting you are proficient in at least half of them, which means you DO have a wealth of varied experiences to offer some lucky employer. Please keep that in mind the next time you go for an interview, because as long as you have the determination, it is never too late.
