Rock Island Railroad Depot – Minooka The manner in which Americans moved around their world changed drastically during the last half of the 19th century. Before the 1850s, the only practical way to travel and trade across long distances was along the nation’s many natural waterways.

As a result, patterns of settlement were focused along the nation’s coastal areas and the rivers. A few dirt roads connected major towns or cities, but travel on them was difficult, unpredictable, and time consuming.

Large ships moved passengers and freight across oceans; smaller boats navigated the nation’s rivers, lakes and canals. Even bicycles, carriages and wagons rolled passengers over thousands of miles of local roads. In time, many new villages, towns and cities sprouted up along these new routes.

By 1900, locomotives traveled along thousands of miles of rails that crisscrossed America. Almost every town, large and small, could claim a railroad depot, which was largely because of the fact that railroads once went almost everywhere, reaching almost any and every town. In the beginning, the promise of a rail line passing through town often meant boom or bust for any settlement.

Railroad station buildings, or depots, were often the center of activity and communications for small-towns in America.

In some remote towns, the station agent lived in or near the depot. In fact, in a small town such as Minooka, the station agent handled all the duties required of the railroads. They were ticket agent, baggage handler, mail sorter and more. But their most important duty was receiving telegraphic orders for trains and passing them on to train crews.

The typical small town wooden depot was rectangular in shape and paralleled the railroad tracks. At one end was the freight room, which had a pair of scales for weighing items that needed to be shipped. At the other end of the building was a waiting room, and

The station agent usually had an office adjoining the waiting room.

In Minooka, the opening of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad in 1852 led to the establishment of the village. Ransom Gardner, a surveyor for the railroad, bought 500 acres in the northeast corner of Grundy County and plotted the town of Minooka. Originally called Summit, because the town sat at the highest geographical point on the Rock Island Line, Minooka was an ideal stop between Morris and Joliet. Two sets of tracks ran eastbound, and two sets of

North of town the E.J.&E. (Elgin, Joliet & Eastern) Railway Company came into existence in December 1888, when the Indiana company merged with its Illinois counterpart. In the early 1890s, the E.J.&E. then acquired the Gardner, Coal City & Northern Railway Company, which consisted of a line from Coster (just south of Coal City) northbound through Minooka to a connection with the E.J.&E.’s main line at Walker Junction. This railroad carried coal and freight from the coal mines south of the Illinois River to the steel mills in the Joliet and Chicago area.

Softball tournament draws crowd to Joliet park

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – The sun was hot, the beer was cold, and smack talk was heard from the lips of every softball player at the annual Guns N’ Hoses Joliet Police and Fire Charity Picnic held Sunday at St. Joe’s Park in Joliet.

After seven hours of tournament play, the Cook County Major Crimes Task Force, which dominated during the day, upset the Joliet Fire Department in a 7-5 game to take first place.

“We work every day in the field together on calls, so most of us know one another, which gives us a competitive edge. We don’t play competitive sports anymore, so these games gives us bragging rights,” Joliet Fire Department apparatus operator Mark Blackburn said.

Twelve teams of Will County law, fire and policing departments took to three fields early Sunday morning in pool play to establish the brackets for the rest of the afternoon games. Families gathered to watch their favorite player attempt to hit a 16-inch softball with a wooden bat, or catch a pop-up without a glove (as those were not allowed).

Most of the plays were clean; flips, flops, fumbles and hits in the head from a flying softball were commonplace; and so were the heckles and jabs to one another – all of it done in good fun. Handshakes or a pat on the back were seen after a hard play, because after all, they are on the same side when they are on the job.

A group of Bike & Dine riders retuns to Lockport on Saturday after having lunch in Joliet as part of the Bike & Dine along the I&M Canal in Lockport.

Main Street Lockport hosts guided bike ride with dining stops

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Every time Nancy Sorci rides her bicycle, she learns something.

“I either learn about me, about my bike or about someone else on the trail,” she said. “It’s been awesome.”

On Saturday, Sorci – a Frankfort resident – had the chance to learn about and see historic Lockport, New Lenox, and everywhere inbetween. She joined close to 20 other people for Main Street Lockport’s second Bike & Dine Lockport event of the summer, which started at 10 a.m. where 10th Street meets the I&M Canal behind Ember’s Tap House.

Main Street Lockport, a nonprofit organization, works to revitalize and preserve downtown Lockport’s historic character and ensure its economic future. It uses the Bike & Dine Lockport series to bring people to town and keep them coming back.

On June 11, the group biked from Lockport to Lemont and back. On Sept.

10, it will ride from Lockport to Joliet and back. At a cost of $45 a person, the guided ride stops twice for water and snacks and twice at restaurants – one in midday and the other at the conclusion of the trip about 3 p.m.

In its fifth year of existence, half of the Bike & Dine Lockport proceeds go to Trails for Illinois, a 501(c)3 that works to enhance the quality of life in Illinois by connecting the state’s communities and countryside with an interconnected, multi-use public trail network and by promoting the use of trails for recreation and transportation, according to its website.

Main Street Lockport co-founder Lynn Sperling said Trails for Illinois leader Steve Buchtel approached the group years ago, and said a Bike & Dine series would be a great way to get bicyclists out on the paths and interested in bicycling. Plus, there is the added bonus of bringing people to Lockport and surrounding areas.

“They see the restaurants we have in town and see how beautiful it is, and they come back,” Sperling said.

More online Visit this article at TheHerald-News.com for a video of bicyclists departing on the tour.

Main Street Lockport uses the other half of the proceeds for beautification efforts such as flower planting near the canal and assembling bike racks that make it easier for riders to stop in town for a while. After all, they need somewhere to keep their bikes.

Sorci said she loves dining out, so the ride was an opportunity to try various restaurants woven into a day of exercise of exploration. Aside from Lockport’s Public Landing Restaurant, Sorci said she had not dined in town.

Each member of Saturday’s group, aside from its leaders, had never participated in the Bike & Dine series, Sterling said. Sometimes they have returning riders, but each time, the group of 15 to 25 has new participants. Saturday was a

sign of continued progress.

“They’ve come from Manhattan, Monee, Frankfort and New Lenox,” Sterling said. “They all found out about it through our flier at Public Landing.”

Whether experienced or relatively new to biking, guided rides such as Bike & Dine Lockport bring people together. Main Street Lockport co-founder Tom Sperling said part of the appeal, aside from the dining aspect, is that the ride averages about 10 mph. There isn’t pressure to outperform the next rider.

Sorci is not quite an avid bicyclist yet, but said she’s becoming one “later in life.”

“For me, it’s an opportunity to exercise,” she said. “That’s part of my motivation. There are other sports I can no longer do because of injuries.”

She’s learned quite a bit through a new love for bicycling, perhaps even surprising herself with a four-day bike ride to the Mississippi River.

“Three friends and I did between 30 and 50 miles each day,” she said. “I also learned I can change a flat tire if need be.”

Lightning ignited the huge “sundance” fire in northern Idaho on Aug. 15, 1967. The fire consumed 56,000 acres of timber. The intense heat created whirlwinds that flung trees around like matchsticks.

Continued from page 3 “It’s a good time and a great way to meet others in a non-work setting, so when we do have to work together on a scene, it’s not like, ‘Hey you.’ I can put a name with a face,” Fraternal Order of Police President Pat Schumacher said.

The proceeds from the bingo, food and drinks, donations and sponsors go to the Fraternal Order of Police and Joliet Fire Charitable Association to use to support charities of choice throughout the year.

Firefighters Charity Chairman Eric Mattson said some of the charities supported are Muscular Dystrophy Association, Easter Seals and the Illinois Burn Camp. Schumacher said the FOP supports Easter Seals, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will & Grundy Counties, Will County Children’s Advocacy Center and Special Olympics.

Throughout the day, spectators relaxed in the beer garden and played bingo, or enjoyed food and cold drinks while bands Too Loud Polka, Release and The Clients played on stage.

After the games were over, players reminisced about each play of the game, while wives chatted with other wives, and retired police and firefighters reunited and greeted each other with the same snarky jokes they gave each other on the job.

Joliet Police Department NOPT second baseman David Wall makes the catch on a pop-up fly ball Sunday.

“The best part of this day was the camaraderie between the teams of fire, police, FBI and other depart-

lice team member Eric Burnhard said.

“It’s always a great charity event, and we are here to have fun.”

Church offers groups for all kinds of loss A year after Melanie’s divorce was final, she felt stuck. Melanie thought she was beginning to feel better, but in reality she wasn’t.

At the urging of Spiritual Development Pastor Steve Hinkle at Grace Bible Church in Minooka, Melanie attended Divorce Care, a 14-week support group that helps people navigate the ups and downs of divorce.

“It helped me through the process and helped me move on,” Melanie said. “I felt like I wasn’t alone.”

Divorce Care includes a video program run by professionals, with on-site local leaders to facilitate the support group, Hinkle said.

Those who run the support group have gone through divorce themselves and have found hope. They have experienced the pain and loss themselves and have the heart for others going through a difficult time.

Grace Bible Church has been offering Divorce Care support groups for

VIEWS Kris Stadalsky six years. A new program begins Aug. 25 and runs weekly through Dec. 8.

Divorce doesn’t only affect the adults; kids experience all sorts of emotions as well. Melanie’s 9-year-old son attended Divorce Care For Kids at the same time.

“It teaches kids to talk about their feelings and helps explains things that are going on,” Melanie said.

The group made a huge difference for her son, she said. The ratio of kids to adults is low, so it was as if Melanie’s son had a personal mentor.

Each week, there is a topic to work on, snacks and games.

“They even talked about finances, and how Mom or Dad might not be able to go to McDonald’s all the time,”

Melanie said of the kids group.

The third support group in the restoration ministry at Grace is Grief Share, new this year, and is designed to support those who have lost a spouse, child, family member or friend.

Loss of a loved one can create confusion and isolation. Questions may arise that they may have never faced before.

Some people who suffered losses were attending Divorce Care because there were many similar issues, Hinkle said. So they brought in Grief Share.

All the support groups run simultaneously so kids and adults are in their own support group at the same time. There is also a nursery available for kids younger than 5.

Hinkle’s own parents divorced when he was young, and he wishes there was a program like Divorce Care for Kids back then. He attended

Divorce Care himself after marrying his wife, who was divorced and had four children.

The support group made him a better father, he said, and a better husband because he was able to understand what she had gone through.

Participating in the support groups has changed the lives of Melanie and her son. She learned to deal with the emotions associated with separation and divorce. Her son learned how to express his feelings, communicate and understand that God has a plan for them, another path. The family now has hope and optimism.

“I am grateful that we had a safe place to share what we were going through,” she said. “Most of all, we knew we weren’t alone.”

Donors needed to provide tuition assistance for area Catholic families SPONSORED BY

Each year, the Catholic Education Foundation fields thousands of requests from students in need of tuition assistance.

“In most cases, these K-12 students would not be able to attend a Catholic school without the assistance,” said Joe Langenderfer, the chief executive officer of the Catholic Education Foundation of the Diocese of Joliet.

But while the CEF’s mission is to help provide the financial means for needy students to attend elementary and secondary Catholic schools throughout the Diocese of Joliet, it’s not always attainable.

“The CEF has over 3,500 applications this year showing a demonstrated need of $7.2 million,” added Annette Morrison, CEF Program Coordinator. “Because of funding limitations, the CEF could only distribute $2

million to 1,600 applicants.”

Foundation members know their work is cut out for them in getting the word out about the financial need. But they also know they’re making a difference with what they can offer.

“We are funding a record number of students this year with a record amount of total scholarships,” Morrison said.

The CEF often hears from parents whose children have benefitted from those scholarships.

“I truly am grateful for your help,” said one single mother who was able to keep her son in the Catholic school system after losing her job.

Another family who saw their income drop by 75 percent due to the father’s sudden and debilitating heart attack has also been helped by the Foundation.

“I am so grateful to my parish family and to the CEF benefactors who have helped us tremendously,” the father wrote. “Thank you and God bless. Together we can do what we cannot do alone.”

high for a federal tax credit, an increase in premiums next year would mean he would save even less for emergencies and retirement, Moyer said. But he’s grateful for the coverage because old health problems flared up this year.

“It’s been confusing, frustrating and expensive, but this year it’s been totally worth it,” he said. “Blue Cross has been very helpful.”

Other Illinois insurers are proposing double-digit rate increases. But Durbin is focusing on Blue Cross, urging state regulators to hold the company accountable.

Durbin said he met in April with the “highest ranking officials” from Health Care Service Corporation, which runs Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. They “told me they were losing money and considering pulling out of Illinois,” Durbin said.

Blue Cross spokeswoman Kristen Cunningham confirmed the meeting, but declined to answer whether the company was considering leaving the state’s marketplace.

“During the meeting, we shared that we are working hard toward continuing to provide health insurance options for consumers,” Cunningham said in an email to The Associated Press. “We will continue to work with state and federal regulators and health policy makers to

help ensure a stable and sustainable insurance marketplace for Illinois.”

Durbin said that after the meeting, he asked U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell “to look into Illinois personally, and she sent a team to Chicago to try and understand why there was a greater problem in Illinois than in other major states served by the Blues.”

The Department of Health and Human Services made recommendations “that Illinois BCBS could be more competitive, reduce costs, and still maintain quality care in our state and the other states they serve,” Durbin said.

Cunningham declined to comment on the federal recommendations mentioned in Durbin’s statement.

Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger ripped Durbin for criticizing the state’s handling of a “dysfunctional, damaging federal policy,” noting the senator was a leading proponent.

“Bottom line: Obamacare is not working for Illinois families, and rather than blame the companies or the consumers or Governor Rauner, Sen. Durbin should recognize and accept the failure of this plan he so adamantly supported,” Kinzinger said.

Durbin has said that the measure is imperfect and lawmakers should work to change it over time.

CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is taking the rare step of weighing in on the state’s handling of a hefty health insurance rate increase request, asking Illinois regulators to press the state’s leading insurer of families and small businesses to reduce costs and be more competitive.

Blue Cross Blue Shield has proposed increases for 2017 ranging from 23 percent to 45 percent for individual health plans sold on the Affordable Care Act insurance exchange. The Illinois Department of Insurance, which has until Aug. 23 to review the proposed rates, can’t reject them outright but can negotiate.

The request prompted Durbin – the Senate’s second-highest ranking Democrat and a vocal supporter of the health care law – to issue a sharply worded statement. It gave a peek into federal involvement in Illinois’ insurance market and put pressure on Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration to show that it’s protecting consumer interests.

Durbin, the state’s senior senator, has been mentioned as a possible candidate for governor in 2018. He has said he’s focused on the November presidential election and will decide after that

whether to seek the office.

“The Illinois Department of Insurance is now reviewing the Blues initial big number request for a rate increase,” Durbin said in a statement last week.

“I trust that the Illinois Department will hold BCBS to an honest standard which requires reform of their practices reflecting the new health care marketplace, professional management of their company, and a sensitivity to the costs to be borne by businesses and consumers in our state.”

Department of Insurance spokesman Michael Batkins responded, saying the agency is “working vigorously on behalf of consumers in order to maintain a competitive choice in the marketplace and ensure consumers are protected.”

While many Illinois residents qualify for a tax credit to pay a portion of their premiums, many do not. There are no subsidies for individuals who make more than $47,520 a year or for families of four making at least $97,200 a year.

Mike Moyer, a 45-year-old entrepreneur in Lake Forest, Illinois, pays $1,397 each month for Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance to cover himself, his wife and their three children. Meeting the $6,000 deductible is pushing his total health care costs this year well over $20,000.

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Baseball fan pitched a good game of life

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

SHOREWOOD – When Elmhurst native George Bova of Connecticut returns home to visit his father, he always makes sure to see a White Sox game.

On this particular day in 2014, Bova, who said he founded the website whitesoxinteractive.com in 1998, settled in his seat with a hot dog and beer – and then realized he was seated next to Robert “Bob” Shoop and his girlfriend, Rheta Murdaugh, both of Shorewood.

Bob was a core member of George’s online group. George never had met Bob in person, but had enjoyed Bob’s knowledge and passion for the team, as well as his wit.

“It was one of the most memorable games,” George said. “All of a sudden, we were watching the game and catching up on any number of things we had in common from all those years of reading each other’s messages off the message board.”

Bob, Rheta said, was a sports enthusiast who enjoyed traveling across the country specifically to watch baseball

Photo provided

Bob Shoop was a White Sox season ticket holder for 23 years. at various ball parks, 28 of them at Rheta’s last count. She and Bob planned to visit them all.

“I’ve been to 14,” Rheta said. “So our goal was to get me caught up.”

Bob’s favorite team was the White Sox. In fact, CBS interviewed Bob on television at the beginning of last year’s season, Rheta said. Bob liked organization, and that was one reason he loved sports.

“He liked the uniforms, the rules, the sportsmanship. It’s just very orderly,” Rheta said. “And he liked the competition.”

Bob’s zeal for sports neatly tied into other interests: gardening and

Cantigny VFW #367 (815) 722-5398 • vfw367.org 826 Horseshoe Dr, Joliet 1 Blk West of Raynor, off Black Rd

landscaping. Bob liked seeing gardens and landscapes orderly and well-maintained. He liked patterns, including floor patterns, to be neat and pristine.

“Every time we went to a game,” Rheta said, “we’d get there early because he wanted to see what the groundskeeping crew were doing.”

That love for orderliness extended to clothing, Rheta said. Bob was aware of how he and Rheta presented themselves. Whenever they went on a date, he’d want to know in advance what Rheta would wear to coordinate his clothing with hers.

“Not many men think like that and might think, ‘Who cares what she wears?’ ” Rheta said. “But he wanted me to be a part of his life, and he wanted us to look like we belonged together.”

Fortunately, Rheta said, she also was a White Sox fan when she met Bob, so they quickly meshed. But she appreciated his support in the areas he didn’t share, such as running. When Rheta had a 5K, Bob watched from the sidelines and took her to lunch.

“We’d make a day of it,” Rheta said.

Bob couldn’t run with her because of an injury in his left hip years ago

and a hip replacement in 2012. But Bob did use the treadmill and lift weights.

His father had died suddenly of a heart attack when he was 51. Bob was 54 when he died March 23 suddenly of a heart attack.

The man who got down on the floor with babies, brought juice to the children in his extended family “because juice is good for them,” made terrific pork burgers and enjoyed taco Tuesdays with Rheta, was gone.

Now it’s Rheta’s turn to continue the support Bob showed others. She’s encouraging everyone she knows to have heart scans.

And she’s planning a trip to Maryland that will include a baseball game, to keep their shared love for the sport alive. The group will include members of Bob’s family, some of his friends and people he knew from a Facebook group that also traveled to ballparks.

“I’ve covered all the bases,” Rheta said.

John Steinbeck’s son, Thomas Steinbeck, dies

By JOHN ROGERS

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Thomas Steinbeck, the eldest son of Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck and a prominent author and screenwriter in his own right, died Thursday at his Santa Barbara home. He was 72.

“The Grapes of Wrath” author’s son, who was working on a memoir at the time of his death, died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to a statement from his family.

In addition to being a writer, Steinbeck fiercely defended his father’s work, adapting several John Steinbeck books for movies and launching legal efforts to protect the copyrights of his father and others.

“Until the end, Thom worked to protect his father’s name and legacy, as well as the rights of creative individuals everywhere,” Steinbeck’s wife, Gail, said in a statement to The Associated Press.

She called her Vietnam War veteran husband a patriot as well as a “wonderful, loving husband and son.”

After years as a documentary filmmaker and screenwriter, Steinbeck launched his own career as an author relatively late in life. At age 58 in 2002, he published his first book, a collection of stories called “Down to a Soundless Sea” to positive reviews. He followed it with the novels “In the Shadow of the Cypress” in 2010 and “The Silver Lotus” in 2011.

Like his father’s works, many of the younger Steinbeck’s stories were set along California’s picturesque coastline.

“Down to the Soundless Sea” recounts tales of early settlers in Big Sur, while “In the Shadow of the Cypress” was set in Monterey, the same coastal city Steinbeck’s father used as settings for the novels “Sweet Thursday,” “Cannery Row” and “Tortilla Flat.”

Steinbeck, who bore a striking resemblance to his father, launched a nearly decade-long battle in 2004 to claim intellectual property rights to

Orland Park.

Kathy had a passion for collecting dolls; enjoyed antiques; loved her dog, but her greatest joy in life was her family.

Preceded in death by her husband, Robert Giamarusti Sr.; a son, Robert “Bobby” Giamarusti Jr.; her parents, Frank and Emma (Casanova) Kamely; and a sister, Bev Eckert.

Survived by her son, Brian (Tiffany) Sherman; her grandchildren, Gabrielle, Heather, Chris, Brandyn and Cassandra; three great-grandchildren; her sister, DeeDee (Michael) Kosteczko; and brothers, Joseph (Mary), Frank (Rosemary) and Greg Kamely.

Numerous nieces and nephews also survive.

written works he said should have been passed on to him and his family upon his father’s death. In 2009, he and folk singer Arlo Guthrie brought a copyright infringement case against Google that eventually was settled.

“Thom was friend and family,” Guthrie told the AP in an email Thursday. “And despite our different life experiences, we shared many things – survived having famous fathers whose line of work we continued, the ’60s, well-told stories and other experiences that made us feel like brothers.”

Thomas Myles Steinbeck, known to friends as Thom, was born in New York City on Aug. 2, 1944, to the “East of Eden” author and his second wife, singer-composer Gwyndolyn Steinbeck. The couple divorced four years later, and he was raised mainly in East Coast boarding schools.

He often spent summers and holidays with his father, traveling through Europe, Greece and North Africa or vacationing in Pacific Grove, California, and Sag Harbor, New York.

It was during those times, he said, that his father imparted in him a passion for writing. From his mother, he said, he gained a deep appreciation for art.

Steinbeck’s mother drank heavily, and he thought that influenced his becoming an alcoholic. He said taking up the painting, sculpture and drawing she taught him to love eventually led him to stop.

After graduating high school, Steinbeck attended California Institute of the Arts, studying animation, and UCLA, where he studied film before joining the Army during the Vietnam War. Sent to Vietnam as an Armed Forces Radio and Television journalist, he was reassigned for several months as a helicopter gunman when the war intensified in 1968.

Returning to civilian life, he dedicated many of the following years to maintaining his father’s legacy.

He wrote the screenplays for movies based on the Steinbeck novels “In Dubious Battle,” “The Pearl” and “Travels With Charley,” producing the latter two as well.

Steinbeck was preceded in death by his parents and younger brother, John IV.

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A stopgap spending plan that lawmakers approved to address Illinois’ lack of a state budget for a second straight year is quickly draining the state’s “rainy day” fund, focusing more attention on the state’s unique and long-running financial management problems.

An account that experts said should have $1.5 billion to $3 billion to help weather an economic downturn was down to about $180 million as of Friday. In a matter of weeks, the balance in what is supposed to be a savings account will be zero.

Financial watchdogs and at least one major credit rating agency said Illinois’ move to drain the $275 million fund to pay for items such as food and medicine for people in state-run facilities in the 16-month absence of a full budget means that when – not if – a recession hits, new taxes or spending cuts will have to be even more “draconian.”

Using the rainy day fund for cash flow is nothing new in Illinois, where critics have said lawmakers have spent decades making politically pop-

Son of Chicago police officer latest victim of gun violence

CHICAGO – The son of a Chicago police officer is the latest victim of the city’s gun violence.

Police said 19-year-old Arshell Dennis was shot in the chest early Sunday and pronounced dead. A 20-year-old man also was shot and hospitalized in serious condition. Both were on a porch outside a home.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the deceased’s father, Arshell “Chico” Dennis, worked patrol with Superintendent Eddie Johnson.

The younger Arshell was set to begin his junior year at New York’s St. John’s University and to return to school Sunday.

Johnson said he was a “good

“In effect, this state is just continuing to act not only as if it would never rain again, but that they wouldn’t even have to close the windows,” said Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, a Chicago-based tax and policy research organization.

Most states don’t have enough money saved to deal with the typical drop in revenue that accompanies a recession, a study released in January by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University found.

The states that are best prepared – including Alaska, West Virginia and Nebraska – have enough to cover anticipated revenue shortfalls in most recession scenarios. Six states, including Kansas, New Jersey and Arkansas, have no rainy day fund.

Illinois was ranked as the least prepared of those with a fund because its account has been used to help pay dayto-day bills when there’s not enough in the general operating fund. Its maximum balance has typically ranged

Army sergeant from Illinois killed in Afghan incident

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Defense Department said an army sergeant from southern Illinois has died in a noncombat-related incident in Afghanistan.

The Pentagon announced Sunday that 36-year-old Staff Sgt. Christopher A. Wilbur of Granite City died Friday in Kandahar. The exact cause of Wilbur’s death wasn’t revealed.

According to the Pentagon, Wilbur was involved in operations connected with tamping down terrorist activity in Afghanistan dubbed Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, which was launched in 2015.

from $226 million to $275 million, but the daily balance often is zero – or close to it.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office said he would like to establish a true rainy Heather day fund. He advocated Steans doing this in his first budget address and has worked on legislation with lawmakers, but hasn’t outlined how it would be funded.

The Republican has been deadlocked with Tim Nuding the Democrat-controlled legislature over state budgets for the last fiscal year and the current fiscal year.

State law and court orders required that some expenses be paid, such as pension payments, state employee payroll and services for disabled people and foster children. But the rest of the payments were allowed to stack up or were delayed by several months; as of Friday, the comptroller’s office estimates the backlog of unpaid bills is $7.5 billion.

Accused of exposing staff to asbestos, firm criminally probed

BELLEVILLE – U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration proceedings against a construction company fined for allegedly importing Mexican workers to remove asbestos are on hold as federal officials look into possible criminal activity by the company.

OSHA last year fined Joseph Kehrer and Albers-based Kehrer Brothers Construction $1.8 million for having the workers remove asbestos from a former school in Okawville without safety gear. Breathing asbestos fibers can increase the risk of cancer. The company is contesting the allegations.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported that Department of Labor spokeswoman Rhonda

state running for six months, getting lawmakers past the November election, after which they said they want to pass a comprehensive budget deal.

Both Rauner’s administration and Democrat leaders agreed that, given the budget crisis, spending the rainy day money on critical items such as fuel for state police vehicles and food and medicine for prison inmates and residents of state-run veterans’ homes was the right thing to do. Some of the vendors who provide those items hadn’t been paid in months, and officials feared the state could be cut off.

“A rainy day fund is for a day when it’s raining, and I have to tell you if it’s not raining now, I’m not sure what the definition of rain is,” said Rauner’s budget director, Tim Nuding.

State Sen. Heather Steans, a Democrat who backed the stopgap measure, is sponsoring the bipartisan legislation to create a true rainy day fund. The account would be funded once the state’s bill backlog drops below $1 billion and revenue reaches a certain level. It also sets parameters for when the Legislature or governor may use the money.

Steans said she expects the measure to be part of a larger budget deal, whenever one is reached.

Burke said federal prosecutors are conducting an investigation “into possibly pursuing criminal charges against the employer.”

Kehrer’s attorney, Clyde Kuehn, confirmed that federal prosecutors – along with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – are conducting an investigation. He said such probes aren’t uncommon in such cases.

“The reason these citations are being contested is that there are some very significant disagreements on the facts of this case,” Kuehn said. “OSHA’s position on the facts is much different from Mr. Kehrer’s position. We’re trying to work toward having an opportunity to lay that out.”

OSHA alleges many of the workers used by Kehrer came to the U.S. to work for the company under a special visa program that allows companies to hire foreign workers temporarily.

Assistant Secretary of Labor David Michaels said exposed at least eight workers to asbestos in violation of federal health

standards, and then threatened to fire them if they spoke to safety investigators.

Bradley U. will have larger freshman class this year

PEORIA – Enrollment at Bradley University for the upcoming academic year increased with about 150 more freshmen than what the school has had in recent years.

University President Gary Roberts said about 1,100 freshmen will begin classes Aug. 24. He told the Pekin Daily Times the university had fewer than 950 freshmen the past two years, adding that number is financially unsustainable for the school.

Total enrollment for the university this year is expected to be at least 5,200.

Roberts attributes the enrollment increase in part to data-driven analysis to target students likely to accept offers from the university.

with Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Rising floodwaters leave thousands homeless in La. Maddox.

BATON ROUGE, La. – Across southern Louisiana on Sunday, residents scrambled to get to safety as rivers and creeks burst their banks, swollen from days of heavy rain that in some areas came close to 2 feet over a 48hour period.

In high-water vehicles, boats and helicopters, emergency crews hurried to rescue scores of south Louisiana residents as the governor warned it was not over.

From the air, homes looked more like little islands surrounded by flooded fields. Farmland was covered, streets descended into impassable pools of water, and shopping centers were inundated with only roofs of cars peeking above the water.

About 20,000 people reportedly have been rescued across south Louisiana.

A statement from the Federal Aviation Administration said the Piper PA-31 departed from Kissimmee Gateway Airport and went down in trees while approaching the Tuscaloosa airport.

Tuscaloosa police Lt. Teena Richardson said the aircraft had a final destination of Oxford but developed engine problems.

The names of victims were not immediately released. But online aircraft records showed the aircraft was registered to a private airplane charter company that shares an address with a dental office in Oxford, the home of the University of Mississippi.

Man shot in Milwaukee had a gun in his hand, police say

By GRETCHEN EHLKE and TODD RICHMOND The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE – The black man whose killing by police touched off rioting in Milwaukee was shot by a black officer after turning toward him with a gun in his hand, the police chief said Sunday, as Wisconsin’s governor put the National Guard on standby against any further violence on the city’s mostly black north side.

Police Chief Edward Flynn cautioned that the shooting was still under investigation and authorities were awaiting autopsy results, but that based on the silent video from the unidentified officer’s body camera, he “certainly appeared to be within lawful bounds.”

At the same news conference, Mayor Tom Barrett said a still image pulled from the footage clearly showed the gun in 23-year-old Sylville K. Smith’s hand as he fled a traffic stop Saturday.

“I want our community to know that,” Barrett said. But he also called for understanding for Smith’s family.

“A young man lost his life yesterday afternoon,” the mayor said. “And no matter what the circumstances are, his family has to be hurting.”

Flynn declined to identify the officer who shot Smith but said he is black. The police chief said he wasn’t sure what prompted the stop but described Smith’s car as “behaving suspiciously.”

After watching the officer’s body camera footage, Flynn said the entire episode took about 25 seconds, from the start of the traffic stop until shots were fired. He said Smith ran “a few dozen feet” and turned toward the offi-

cer while holding a gun.

“It was in his hand. He was raising up with it,” the chief said. He said it was unclear how many rounds the officer fired.

Earlier Sunday, Gov. Scott Walker activated Wisconsin’s National Guard, and 125 Guard members were reporting to local armories to prepare for further instructions.

Flynn said they would not be deployed unless the chief decided to do so.

“I’m hopeful that will not be necessary,” the mayor said. “But if it is necessary, we will do so.” Flynn said 150 department officers specially trained in managing big protests also had been mobilized.

Six businesses were burned in the unrest that spilled past midnight Sunday. Seventeen people were arrested, Flynn said, and four officers were hurt, none seriously.

Milwaukee Alderman Khalif Rainey, who represents the neighborhood that erupted, said the city’s black residents are “tired of living under this oppression.”

“Now this is a warning cry. Where do we go from here? Where do we go as a community from here?” he asked.

Flynn said Smith had a lengthy criminal record with Milwaukee police. Online court records showed a range of charges against Smith, many of them misdemeanors.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Smith also was charged in a shooting and later was charged with pressuring the victim to withdraw testimony that identified Smith as the gunman. The charges were dropped because the victim recanted the identification and failed to appear in court, Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern told the newspaper.

Horticulturist Brian Pearson of the University of Florida checks on hops plants June 9 in Apopka, Fla. He started with a few plants in a small wooden shed, an effort that has since grown into hundreds of plants and a hope that Florida may have found a new cash crop. citrus farmers in the nearly $11 billion industry were looking to augment their crops with something new due to citrus greening, a bacterial disease that doesn’t hurt humans or animals

but is devastating to citrus trees. Over the past decade or so, Florida’s citrus harvest has been reduced by about 60 percent.

Trump goes on tear against media, not Clinton

By LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s campaign Sunday went on a new tear against the media, blaming the “disgusting” press for a week of distractions at a time when Republicans have urged him – again – to focus on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Trump will get another chance to reset his campaign Monday when he is expected to lay out his plan for defeating what running mate Mike Pence on Sunday called, “radical Islamic terrorism” with “real specifics” on how to make the United States safer.

But Trump set up that address

with extensive new complaints about the latest disastrous week of coverage and reports of campaign chaos. Not to blame, Trump suggested, were his own remarks that gun rights supporters could “do something” if Hillary Clinton becomes president and appoints liberal judges, or his repeated insistence on the falsehood that President Barack “Obama founded ISIS.” “If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn’t put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20 percent,” he tweeted before noon. That tweet was followed by: “My rallies are not covered properly by the media. They never discuss the real message and never show crowd size

or enthusiasm.” His anti-media tweet storm topped a half-dozen posts by midafternoon.

It was the latest in a series of implicit acknowledgements by the Republican presidential nominee that he is not winning and in fact could be headed for a big loss to Clinton on Election Day in less than three months. Signs were popping up across the political landscape that Trump’s year-plus flirtation with presidential politics was in danger of not advancing much further.

Gaffe-by-gaffe, additional Republicans have come forward to say they’re not supporting his bid, with Carlos Gutierrez, secretary of commerce under President George W. Bush, an-

nouncing his support for Clinton on Sunday. Meanwhile, GOP leaders in Washington and in the most competitive states have begun openly contemplating turning their backs on their party’s presidential nominee and putting their money and effort instead behind the party’s House and Senate candidates.

The New York Times on Sunday catalogued a culture of crisis inside the Trump campaign.

That set off Trump on a Twitter rant Sunday morning. He called the report “fiction” and reiterated he is not about to change what he sees as a winning campaign formula. “I am who I am,” he tweeted.

APOPKA, Fla. – With the state’s iconic citrus industry reeling because of a so-far incurable bacterial disease, some Florida farmers are eyeing a new niche crop that can tap into the country’s burgeoning beer-brewing business: hops.

Hops are vining plants that produce pungent flowers or buds that for hundreds of years have been used by brewers as the building blocks of a beer’s flavor and aroma. The acids in hops produce bitterness, and the plants’ oils give beer a floral or citrusy aroma, depending on the plant.

Traditionally, Florida was considered too hot and humid to grow hops – most varieties are grown in Germany and other European countries with cooler climates, while 95 percent of hops grown in the U.S. come from Washington and other Pacific Northwest states. An explosion of craft breweries in the U.S. has pushed demand sky high, and as a result, shortages of popular hop varieties are common for smaller breweries, which compete with much larger ones for the same supply.

Three years ago, home-brewing horticulturist Brian Pearson of the University of Florida decided he wanted fresh hops and began doing his own research on what he could grow. He started with a few plants in a small wooden shed, and that has since grown into hundreds of plants and a hope that Florida may have found a new cash crop.

“The amount of phone calls from brewers wanting them, the amount of phone calls from growers wanting to grow them, has been incredibly overwhelming,” Pearson said.

The local interest makes sense. In 2015, Florida added more craft breweries than any other state at a time when

sibly hops all provide an outlet to grow something,” said Andrew Meadows, a spokesman for Florida Citrus Mutual, an industry trade group. But he added that nothing can completely replace citrus, because it is “a way of life in Florida and forms the backbone of rural communities.”

Demand is on the rise everywhere.

In 2007, there was a worldwide shortage of aroma hops. While production has increased significantly, it’s still hard for many small breweries to find the most sought-after hops. In 2014, about 18 percent of brewers couldn’t get Citra and Amarillo hops, two popular strains, according to the Brewer’s Association, a craft brewery industry trade group.

Chris Swersey, a supply chain specialist for the association, said things are getting better for craft brewers as production increases, but there is still room for growth.

In Florida, Pearson was able to grow many strains, but the most interesting is called “Neo Mexicanus,” a native American hop discovered about a decade ago growing on Navajo land in New Mexico.

Pearson found some of this rare hop’s rhizomes, or seeds, and planted them. The early signs were not great – the plants grew, but they weren’t very palatable, likely due to the stresses on a plant associated with growing for the first time in a new environment.

“The smells were terrible, like stinky feet or rotten cheese,” Pearson said.

But the next year was different. The plants were floral and sweet, with a citrusy character – exactly what brewers want. He decided to publish a peer-reviewed paper to announce that hops can be grown in Florida. Since then, dozens of farmers have contacted him with interest.

Provence Catholic’s Richie Warfield breaks away from Cary-Grove defenders to score a touchdown during the second half of the 2014 IHSA Class 7A state championship at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

BACK ON TRACK

Warfield hopes to lead Celtics to more success

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Richie Warfield definitely was on top of the world following his exploits on Nov. 29, 2014.

All the sophomore running back did that day was rush for 123 yards and four touchdowns and finish with 174 total yards as he helped Providence Catholic to a dramatic 31-28 victory over CaryGrove in the IHSA Class 7A championship game in Champaign.

That win capped a 13-1 campaign for

coach Mark Coglianese’s Celtics, who captured their school’s tenth state title and first in a decade.

With leading rusher Warfield back for the 2015 season, along with several returning starters, Providence entered 2015 regarded as one of the better teams in the Chicago area and Warfield, who was chosen as a rare junior Celtics captain, was viewed as a top prospect.

However, Warfield got injured early in his team’s game against Mount Carmel. Providence fell to 0-3 after that contest and was 2-5 when Warfield finally

returned with two games left.

In a 3-6 campaign where the Celtics couldn’t afford to lose many players to injury, Warfield was the first of several to fall by the wayside. Playing a tough schedule and competing in the rugged Chicago Catholic League Blue, Providence couldn’t recover and wound up missing out on a playoff appearance for just the third time in the past 33 seasons.

But Warfield returned to form during a successful track and field season this spring and has worked very hard on improving all aspects of his game as the

senior captain not only hopes to go out with a bang individually but also help lead the Celtics to another special season.

“The biggest thing for me is that I want to prove to myself, my teammates and to everyone else that this is still a great football program and team,” Warfield said. “Regardless of what happened last year, our team and our coaching staff are extremely prepared for this year.”

18 SLAMMERS 7-1, BEACH BUMS 1-10

Slammers settle for a doubleheader split

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After dropping a 12-inning game to Traverse City on Saturday, the Joliet Slammers needed to sweep the next day’s doubleheader in order to capture the weekend series.

And while the Slammers received a fine pitching effort from Liam O’Sullivan in the opener and won that game following a six-run sixth inning, the Beach Bums grabbed an early lead in the second game and limited the hosts to only three hits and one run.

As a result of the split, the team in last place in the Frontier League’s East Division claimed two wins in three games over the East Division leader as Joliet won, 7-1, in the Sunday’s opener before Traverse City’s 10-1 victory in the finale at Silver Cross Field.

“I’m glad that we got the first one, that’s for sure, because it could have gone either way,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “In the second game, we

just didn’t get outs from our starter and got into a hole. And then I didn’t like our approach at the plate after that.

“It was kind of like, ‘Alright, we’re beat.’ But the way that I look at it, we’re the best hitting team in the league. So even though we’re down some runs, we have to go out and compete since there’s a chance that if we got a few guys on that something good could happen.”

In game one, O’Sullivan improved to 8-1 after allowing just one run on four hits while striking out nine in seven innings. But things were tied at 1-1 going into the bottom of the sixth with Tucker Simpson also keeping the Slammers at bay.

But in the sixth, Melvin Rodriguez (2 for 3) singled and Marc Flores walked to knock Simpson (two runs, six hits, five innings) out of the game.

Benjamin Libuda allowed five runs on two hits in his inning of relief.

After Joe Staley reached on a force, Phil Bates walked to load the bases and

Charlie White followed with a two-run single up the middle. A throwing error and wild pitch made it 4-1 before Alfredo Rodriguez was hit by a pitch before Jake Gronsky (3 for 4) smacked a threerun homer to left, his seventh of the year, to complete the scoring.

Joliet (43-35) took a 1-0 lead in the third when Rodriguez drew a two-out walk and Gronsky singled before Carter Bell drove in a run with a single to right. But Traverse City (33-43) tied things in the fifth when Marcos Derkes (2 for 4) singled in a run.

In the second game, the Beach Bums scored three times in the second and two more runs in the third against starter Spencer Medick, who only last 22/3 innings. They added two more runs in the fourth and sixth and a single tally in the fifth inning.

Giancarlo Brugnoni went 3 for 4 with two RBI and a homer while Ryan Bottger (three RBI, homer) and Steven Patterson each went 2 for 4 for Traverse City.

“Last year was a little bit of a wakeup call because even though we are Providence Catholic and have a historic program, we still can experience times when we don’t do things the way that we should be. So this is a great time to make up for that.”

A year ago, Warfield ended up watching things from the sidelines more often than he was on the field, which was a bitter pill to swallow for the hard-working team leader.

“I ended up playing about four games last year,” Warfield said. “That was pretty tough, sitting on the sidelines knowing that I couldn’t do anything to help my team out. But it really motivated me this offseason to do things the right way.

“My work ethic has always been strong, but it’s even more so this year, by making sure that I have the proper recovery time after working out and making sure that I’m getting proper stretches and doing anything to protect myself from injury and that’s probably been one of the biggest changes in my style of getting prepared for this season.”

Being able to contribute in such a big way on a state title team while just a sophomore is an experience that few get. Now he hopes to share a successful season with his classmates.

“I still keep in contact with a lot of guys from that 2014 state championship

Providence’s Richie Warfield is tackled by Cary-Grove’s Matt Sutherland in 2014 during the second half of the Class 7A state championship game at the University of Illinois in Champaign. team,” Warfield said. “Guys like Joe Zemen and Jimmy Sharkey still come out to practice and they have big smiles on their faces because when they were seniors, they went out on top.

“I want everyone in my class, who I’ve been friends with since freshman year, to experience that same kind of thing. I want at the end of this year for us to be able to come back to this school with smiles on our faces knowing that we won our last game at Providence

Catholic.”

While Warfield realizes the Celtics face a challenging path, he likes this year’s group.

“We have a big week one opener with East St. Louis and that’s going to set the stage for the rest of our season,” Warfield said. “We have a packed schedule and play in the Catholic League Blue, which is obviously the best conference in the state of Illinois. We look forward to the challenge because we feel that

Dylan Stoops only allowed one run on three hits while striking out six in seven innings to collect the victory.

The Slammers scored their lone run in the third when Phil Bates came home on a sacrifice fly by White.

Joliet got a bunt single from White in the first and a single from Melvin Rodriguez in the second and then went hitless until Zarley Zalewski reached with two outs in the seventh.

Washington scored twice in the seventh inning of the second game of a doubleheader to earn a sweep at Windy City, winning by 6-2 and 3-2 scores. As a result, the Wild Things (37-39) moved to within five games of the Slammers for first place in the division with three weeks left in the regular season.

“We were flat and didn’t respond and that’s frustrating and we have to do a better job with that,” Isom said.

“But in the big scheme of things, we just have to continue to win games and the good thing is that if we win, then we’re in.” once we make the playoffs, we’ll be very battle-tested.

“I think that all of us are really close, especially coming off of last season. We kind of used each other to pick ourselves up in the weight room and outside of school to build a better camaraderie as teammates. It’s hard to let your friends down so we’ve tried to do everything that we can to be your best for a person who has been like a brother to you.”

Coglianese is obviously thrilled to have Warfield back for another season.

“Two years ago, he wasn’t like a sophomore at all,” Coglianese said. “He was as big and as fast as most of our varsity players. And he’s always been a leader and one of the hardest workers on the team. He’s always in the weight room, goes to speed camps and has run track. And he’s outstanding in the classroom, so he’s definitely the whole package.

“He hurt his knee in week three against Mount Carmel and didn’t come back until late in the year and he wasn’t 100 percent. Not getting his physical play for us was one thing but also not having his leadership out at practice every day really hurt us. Our offensive line was young and we would have a different quarterback so we were going to hang our hat on him.

“So having him back at full strength just builds confidence in the whole team. We have a lot of skilled guys this year and he’s the leader. But teams aren’t just going to be able to focus on him. Having Richie as the main feature is definitely a feather in all of our caps.”

2015 record: 26-13; Class 3A state runnerup.

Key returners: Sarah Nahas (Jr., S, 5-9); Taylor Zurliene (Sr., OH, 5-8).

Key additions: Emily Holbrook (Soph., OH, 5-8); Morgan Leuszler (Jr., MH, 5-10); Emily Jones (Jr., MH, 5-10); Macaire Kelley (Jr., L, 5-4); Nico Meyer (Jr., RH, 5-9).

Key graduation losses: Addy Alt, Andriana Acosta, Megan Cladis, Meghan Harrison, Megan Melone, Jessica Simon.

Coach Christine Scheibe: “We will be young and small, but competetive. Our ball control should be excellent. We have the added challenge to play in 4A and have made out schedule even tougher to prepare for this. We have competed in the largest class before and are looking forward to the challenge.”

This season, Nahas will have control of the offense.

After playing as starting rightside hitter last year, the junior will transition to setter and run a 5-1 offense. This should be an easy transition since Nahas runs that offense in club, and Scheibe put her in the right-side position so that she could have an easier transition to setting on the varsity level.

Nahas also learned a lot from the other setters last year.

“The past setters I’ve played with at JCA have taught me so much because when you’re setting, it’s not about you. It’s about everyone around you,” Nahas said. “The past setters were great examples of that because they were always showing me what I need to do as a leader to make sure that everyone is prepared for what is coming.”

Preparation may become the motto for JCA this season.

Mentally prepare to compete in the higher class. Mentally prepare and envision themselves making it

back to state. Then make it happen.

“We know what it takes to succeed

in the postseason,” Scheibe said. “I think that is an advantage for us as opposed to teams that have not been there and have not gotten that opportunity to go down to state.”

And for those who don’t think JCA can get to state this season?

“We are known for proving everyone wrong,” Zurliene said. “Sometimes we have a rough patch at the beginning of the season and everyone will underestimate us. We just stick to our team, stick to our family and prove everyone wrong.”

JOLIET – Post-season success is a synonym for Joliet Catholic Academy girls volleyball.

Going into this season, however, the pressure arguably is higher than ever. The Angels had back-to-back runnerup finishes at the Class 3A State Tournament, and now they will be competing in Class 4A instead of 3A. That might be intimidating for most, but they aren’t Angels.

“Coming in and having such successful past two seasons, going down to state, has built a fire within us,” junior setter Sarah Nahas said. “It makes us want to go down and get that first-place title. We’ve been working hard, so hard, every day for the goal of winning state. Moving up doesn’t frighten us. It motivates us.”

The move up doesn’t intimidate coach Christine Scheibe, either.

JCA has always played a tougher 4A schedule during regular season and the Angels have competed well.

They also won state at the highest level when there were only two classes. Playing with the bigger dogs isn’t that daunting because she has played them before.

Now, she has some younger players who are driven to keep the success story alive.

“I know they want to live up to that expectation that is there at Joliet Catholic,” Scheibe said. “I think they will rise to the occasion. We have some good pieces. We have some good young talent. It’s going to be a matter of that talent stepping up and realizing that they don’t have a year of growth. They have to do it right away.”

JCA graduated numerous seniors and has new players with huge shoes to fill.

Outside hitter Taylor Zurliene will enter her senior year and her fourth season on varsity. She has helped the Angels go downstate twice and hopes to make it there a third time. The three-year starter knows the team has the potential to accomplish that objective.

The higher competition isn’t what matters. What does is taking care of the ball.

“We’re really excited about competing at the higher level,” Zurliene said. “Each year, we’ve competed against those higher teams and done really well. We’re not the tallest team out there, but our defense is going to be really good. If we keep working

20 CARDINALS 6, CUBS 4

Piscotty homers, Cards’ comeback to beat Cubs

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Stephen Piscotty hit a three-run homer, Brandon Moss followed with a solo shot one out later and the St. Louis Cardinals used a fiverun eighth inning to beat the Cubs, 6-4, on Sunday night.

Piscotty hit his 17th homer off setup man Hector Rondon (2-3), who entered with a 3-1 lead in his first appearance since Aug. 2 because of a triceps injury. After pinch-hitter Kolten Wong and Greg Garcia singled, Piscotty lofted a shot to deep left-center field that put the Cardinals ahead, 4-3.

Moss added his 21st homer, then Randal Grichuk doubled in a run off Travis Wood.

The Cardinals split a four-game series with the major league-leading Cubs, which dropped its second straight following an 11-game winning streak.

Cubs starter John Lackey allowed only one unearned run and four hits before leaving with two outs in the seventh with an injury. Anthony Rizzo went 3 for 4 with a solo homer and three RBIs, and Ben Zobrist knocked

Lackey was sailing along and struck out five in his fourth straight solid start. But right-hander grimaced

in pain after throwing a pitch to Grichuk. Lackey walked off the field and was replaced by Justin Grimm, who struck out Grichuk.

Matt Bowman (2-4) got three outs in the seventh in relief of Mike Leake for the win. Leake allowed three runs on six hits in six innings and retired 16 in a row over one stretch despite entering with a 9.00 ERA in his previous four starts.

Cardinals closer Seung Hwan Oh got the final five outs, including three strikeouts in the ninth, for his 11th save in 12 chances.

Garcia snapped an 0-for-31 streak with a single with one out in the third, then came around to score an unearned run on Zobrist’s throwing error to make it 2-1.

Leake settled into a pitchers’ duel with Lackey with a little help from his defense.

St. Louis third baseman Jhonny Peralta made a diving stop, rolled and threw to first in one motion on Addison Russell’s sharp grounder in the fourth.

Kris Bryant ended Leake’s run with a triple to right-center with one out in the sixth. He scored on Rizzo’s second RBI single to make it 3-1.

After the Cardinals took a 6-3 lead in the eighth, Rizzo hit his 25th homer in the bottom half.

MARLINS 5, WHITE SOX 4

Another loss for Sale as Marlins rally past White Sox

By STEVEN WINE

The Associated Press MIAMI – Chris Sale took a line drive off the foot, took the blame for a defensive lapse and took another defeat.

The White Sox ace gave up five runs in 62/3 innings and remained winless since July 2 as they lost Sunday to the Miami Marlins, 5-4.

Left fielder Christian Yelich threw out pinch-runner Carlos Sanchez trying to score from second base on a two-out single in the ninth inning. Fernando Rodney got his third save for Miami despite allowing three hits in the ninth, including a solo homer by Tim Anderson.

Chris Sale (14-6) failed to protect an early lead and fell to 0-4 in his past six starts. He hasn’t won since his suspension for cutting up the team’s throwback jerseys July 23, but his ERA over the past five starts is a solid 3.03.

“I’m not doing too much to help us win,” Sale said. “It’s frustrating.

It would be frustrating for anybody. I don’t know what my lines are or my stats are, but I just know I’m not win-

Miami trailed, 2-0, before scoring three times in the fifth, thanks to four consecutive singles and an RBI bunt by

Ichiro Suzuki that caught the Sox napping.

The bunt came with runners at first and second and nobody out, and catcher Omar Narvaez hustled toward the mound to field the ball and throw Suzuki out. But that left the plate uncovered, and Robert Andino – who had been at second base – kept running and scored without a throw.

Sale said he was guilty of a brain cramp.

“I’ve got to be at home plate for that,” he said.

Also costly was a two-run single by pitcher Tom Koehler off Sale’s right foot. The hit raised Koehler’s average to .103.

The Sox nearly overcame a 5-3 deficit in the ninth. After Anderson homered, they had runners at first and second with two out, and Tyler Saladino singled to left. Yelich charged to field the ball on one hop and threw on the fly to catcher Jeff Mathis, who blocked the plate and tagged Sanchez for the game-ending out.

Sox manager Robin Ventura said

Sanchez was right to be aggressive.

“You have to make them make a good play, and they did,” Ventura said.

“It was a great throw.”

The Marlins’ victory averted a series sweep and provided a morale boost after they put slugger Giancarlo Stanton and left-hander Adam Conley on the disabled list before the game. Stanton is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks with a strained groin.

Koehler allowed three runs in six innings. Mike Dunn (3-1) pitched a perfect seventh.

The Sox’s Adam Eaton homered on the game’s first pitch. Jose Abreu hit an RBI single in the first inning and a game-tying double that caromed off the third-base bag in the sixth.

The Sox fell to 20-23 in one-run games. They’ve played the most in the majors.

Glove gems: 2B Saladino retreated into short center field to make running catches that robbed Martin Prado and Adeiny Hechavarria of hits. The latter grab came with two runners aboard to end the second inning.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Ryan Moore wins John Deere Classic for 5th PGA Tour title: For all

the late pars and the closing run of 46 holes without a bogey, Ryan Moore thought the key to his victory Sunday in the John Deere Classic was a 24-foot birdie putt on the fourth hole.

It moved him to 20 under and kept him two strokes ahead of Morgan Hoffmann, who was about to birdie the fifth hole.

“That was huge to get another birdie early, just to show the guys behind me I’m not messing around,” Moore said. “The worst thing to do is to be even or 1 over after five or six holes. Then all of a sudden you’ve got 10 guys thinking, ‘Alright, I can go get this today.’”

With Moore making three birdies on the front nine and another on the 10th hole en route to a 4-under 67, they had no chance.

He won his fifth PGA Tour title by two strokes over Ben Martin.

The 33-year-old Moore finished at 22-under 262 at TPC Deere Run, making only one bogey in 72 holes.

He won for the first time since successfully defending his CIMB Classic title in Malaysia in 2014.

Martin had three straight backnine birdies in a 68. South Korea’s Whee Kim shot 67 to tie for third with Hoffmann (71) at 17 under.

OLYMPIC WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

JCA grad Murphy helps USA women win Group B The HERALD-NEWS The Illinois contingent, including Joliet Catholic Academy graduate Kelly Murphy, showed well Sunday as the United States women’s volleyball team finished as the Group B champion in the Summer Olympics at Rio de Janeiro, rallying to beat China, 3-1 (22-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-19).

The USA finished group play, 5-0, and is in an ideal position heading into Tuesday’s quarterfinals.

Murphy and Wheaton St. Francis graduate Kelsey Robinson both had big kills, especially in the sets the Americans won. Murphy also served an important ace.

“I thought Kelly turned in another solid all-around perfor-

mance,” JCA coach Christine Scheibe said. “Her serve during Game 2 got Team USA its first real lead and they never looked back from there. I was impressed with how she bounced back with getting blocked against a bigger China team. She came back strong right after, finding angles and tooling the block. Her back-row attacks continue to be a pretty formidable weapon.”

Scheibe noted the USA has struggled serving, “but I thought Kelly helped calm them down.

Her ace in Game 4 was big, and she played incredible defense throughout the match. Besides the libero, she was probably their best defender.”

Meanwhile, Scheibe called Robinson a “difference maker in

the match. To come off the bench and have such a high hitting percentage was outstanding. I felt she gave the U.S. the spark they needed after Kim Hill struggled.

Jordan Larson was incredible as well, and with Kelsey getting on fire, it really made the attack unstoppable.”

In Team USA’s 3-1 (25-22, 25-22, 23-25, 25-20) victory Friday over Italy, Robinson had eight kills, 17 attacks and a block kill. Murphy chipped in five kills, two block kills and two digs.

“I was impressed with Kelly’s service run in Game 3 to get Team USA back within reach (of Italy),” Scheibe said. “I also thought she did have several good swings, but they were struggling to get her the ball in good spots.”

RIO DE JANEIRO – From the top step of the podium, Justin Rose bowed his head as the Olympic gold medal was placed around his neck, and he stared at it for the longest time.

Even for a major champion, this was more than he ever imagined.

“It’s a moment you’ve seen in many other sports,” Rose said.

“The medal ceremony is what it’s all about, really.”

This was why the 36-year-old Englishman circled the Rio Games on his calendar all along, even as some of the biggest names in golf began pulling out. Rose came to Rio to watch, and to win.

And when his turn came Sunday, he delivered a gold-medal performance worthy of a 112-year wait. The final round was so tense that no one led by more than one shot until Rose hit a 40-yard pitch to 3 feet, a shot every bit as signif-

icant as the 4-iron from 229 yards on the 18th hole at Merion when he won the 2013 U.S. Open.

The birdie gave him a 4-under 67 and a two-shot victory over Henrik Stenson to win golf’s first gold medal since 1904 in St. Louis.

Stenson took the silver medal.

Matt Kuchar of the United States closed with a 63 to win the bronze.

How big was golf in the Olympics?

“I’ve never been so happy with a third-place finish in my life,” Kuchar said.

Rose is the first gold medalist in golf since George Lyon of Canada won against a field of mostly Americans.

Lochte: U.S. swimmers are ‘safe and unharmed’ after robbery

By STEPHEN WILSON The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – Ryan Lochte and three other American swimmers were robbed at gunpoint early Sunday by thieves posing as police officers who stopped their taxi and took their money and belongings.

In the latest security incident to hit the Rio de Janeiro Games, Lochte told NBC that one of the robbers put a gun to his forehead before taking his wallet. No one was injured.

“While it is true that my teammates and I were the victims of a robbery early Sunday morning, what is most important is that we are safe and unharmed,” Lochte said in a message posted on Instagram. “I look forward to getting home so that I can begin to map out the plans for my future with an eye on representing #TeamUSA at the #2020 Tokyo Olympics.”

Lochte and his teammates were returning to the athletes’ village by taxi after a night out at the French Olympic team’s hospitality house in the Rodrigo de Freitas area in the upscale south zone of the city. The outing was several hours after Olympic swimming ended Saturday night at the Rio Games.

“Their taxi was stopped by individ-

uals posing as armed police officers who demanded the athletes’ money and other personal belongings,” U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement. “All four athletes are safe and cooperating with authorities.”

Sandusky told The Associated Press the robbers took cash and credit cards only, and that no Olympic medals were lost.

Traveling with Lochte were Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen.

Lochte swam in two events at the Rio Games, winning gold in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay. He is a 12-time Olympic medalist.

Bentz and Conger also were part of that relay, their only event in Rio. Feigen was on the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, another gold winner for the U.S. in Rio. “We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over,” Lochte told NBC’s “Today” show .

“They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground – they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn’t do anything wrong, so – I’m not getting down on the ground.

“And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, ‘Get down,’ and I put my hands up, I was like ‘whatever.’ He took our money, he took my wallet – he left my cellphone, he left my credentials.”

USA Today and Fox Sports Australia first reported the news, citing Lochte’s mother, Ileana Lochte.

“We are all safe,” Bentz tweeted.

“Thank you for your love and support.

P.S. the gold medal is safe.”

Word of the robbery touched off a chain of confusion between Olympic and U.S. officials. An International Olympic Committee spokesman said reports of the robbery were “absolutely not true,” then reversed himself, apologized and said he was relying on initial information from the USOC that was wrong.

“I couldn’t believe it,” said Michael Phelps, a good friend of Lochte’s and one of his roommates in the athletes village.

Phelps spent the evening with his family and wasn’t out with his teammates.

Brazil’s sports minister, Leonardo Picciani, said that the swimmers were “outside their places of competition and outside the appropriate time.” He said no athlete had run into problems at the venues or in the athletes village.

TRACK & FIELD

Bolt shines bright, wins record 3rd-straight gold in 100-meters

By EDDIE PELLS

The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – If there were any doubts, it took less than 10 seconds – 9.81, to be exact – for Usain Bolt to erase them.

He is the Olympic champion once again.

On a muggy Sunday night in Rio, the Jamaican superstar won the signature event in track and field in a runaway and added this line to his already gleaming resume: first person to capture three straight 100-meter titles at the Olympics.

Bolt beat American Justin Gatlin, who fans greeted with raucous boos, by .08 seconds. Andre de Grasse of Canada won the bronze.

He shoved Michael Phelps aside to take center stage for Week 2 of these troubled Rio Games.

He pushed his total to seven Olympic gold medals, with a chance for two more – in the 200 and 4x100 relay – later in the week.

Bolt wasn’t the only one putting on a show.

A few minutes earlier, South Africa’s Wayde van Niekerk eclipsed what many thought was the most-unbreak-

able record in the book – Michael Johnson’s 17-year-old mark of 43.18 seconds in 400 meters. Running out of Lane 8, where the lag puts him well in front of the rest of the field, van Niekerk never saw a soul – crossing in 43.03 and only glancing to his left when he approached the line to peer at the clock, which showed him what he had done.

“Usain Bolt will be retiring soon, but this could be the next star of the sport,” Johnson said during his commentary on BBC. The current star? That guy named Bolt.

The 6-foot-5 sprinter/celebrity overcame his typically slow unfurling from the blocks – he was second-to-last after the break – then churned his legs to gradually build up speed. He caught Gatlin with about 40 meters left and was celebrating – pointing at his chest with his thumb – before he crossed the finish line.

After he crossed, Bolt raised the index finger, and then, the real party began.

A few minutes after the finish, Bolt was unlacing those now-famous gold spikes and taking selfies with the fans and the medalists from the heptathlon.

He turned his yellow hat backward,

kneeled down and gave the crowd what it really wanted. It’s that famous, arching, “To the World” pose that he debuted eight years ago in Beijing.

Chants of “Bolt, Bolt, Bolt” rang out from the near-capacity stadium. Yes, the show lived up to its billing.

But this was not Bolt at his fastest.

Four years ago, all three medalists broke 9.8. Nobody did this time.

It was not Bolt at his best. Some might argue his gutsy effort at last year’s world championships, when he overcame a season’s worth of injuries to beat Gatlin by .01, might have been the grittiest race he won.

But it certainly was Bolt at his most entertaining. It was a show from the time he came onto the track, arms to his side, asking for more applause, until 20 minutes after the race, when he was still working the crowd, posing for photos, making the troubled world of track feel fun again.

He turns 30 the day of the closing ceremony and has insisted his Olympic days are over.

“A true, true warrior of the sport,” said Yohan Blake, the Jamaican who used to be his main rival. “To come back ... and win it three times. He is a one-of-a-kind sprinter. He really is.”

Thompson scores 30, U.S. Men sneak past France in basketball Klay Thompson ended an Olympic-long slump with 30 points, and the U.S. needed almost all of them to hold off France, 100-97, in basketball.

It was the third straight close call for the favorites, who are looking as beatable as ever under coach Mike Krzyzewski.

U.S. rolls again in women’s basketball, routs China

It wasn’t so much the final score of the game, but coach Geno Auriemma was really excited about the record number of assists the Americans dished out.

Tina Charles and Brittney Griner each scored 18 points and the U.S. had 40 assists on its 46 baskets to beat China, 105-62, on Sunday. The Americans were unchallenged in group play, winning the five games by an average of 40.8 points, eclipsing the 100-point mark in four of them.

Murray 1st to win 2 Olympic tennis singles golds

Andy Murray became the first tennis player in Olympic history with two singles gold medals, winning his second in a row by wearing down Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, at the Rio de Janeiro Games in a final that lasted a tad more than 4 hours Sunday.

The No. 2-seeded Murray took the final four games Sunday after trailing, 5-3, in the fourth set and stopped the resurgent run of the 141st-ranked del Potro.

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt celebrates Sunday after winning the gold in the men’s 100-meter final in Olympic stadium at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Simone Biles spent Sunday morning in the warm-up gym thinking not of history but perfection.

When it didn’t happen – and really, it never does in gymnastics anymore – the 19-year-old star settled for a pretty sweet consolation prize: a third gold medal in Rio. Twisting and flipping through the air with explosive precision, Biles easily captured gold in the women’s vault final on Sunday. Her two-vault average of 15.966 was more than .7 better than silver medalist Maria Paseka of Russia and bronze medalist Giulia Steingruber of Switzerland.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff rather than a C-section, there is a chance the muscles and tissues in the floor of the pelvis will be weakened. That predisposes a woman to prolapse in later years.

What can you do about it? You probably can reduce or eliminate the urinary incontinence with what are called Kegel exercises. These exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles and often are enough to control mild incontinence.

To perform Kegels, squeeze the muscles you would use to hold back urine or to stop urinating midstream. Tighten these muscles and hold them tight for a few seconds.

Repeat 10 times a session. Do approximately four sessions each day.

To keep the pelvic organs from dropping down, a pessary often is prescribed. This is a rubbery, ring-shaped device that fits into the upper portion of your vagina. Pessaries can help prop up your uterus and bladder and prevent them from dropping into the vagina.

Your doctor may recommend surgery to repair the torn ligaments (bands of fibrous tissue) in your pelvic area that have caused the prolapse.

For post-menopausal women, hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus and sometimes the cervix and ovaries, is the most common treatment. Basically, the organs that are prolapsing are removed, fundamentally solving the problem.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at askdoctork. com, or write: Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Dear Dr. K: My doctor checked me out because I was leaking urine. She said I have pelvic organ prolapse. Can you tell me what it is and what can be done about it?

Dear Reader: Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition in which tissue from the uterus, bladder, urethra or rectum drops down into the vagina. As many as 1 in 3 middle-aged women have some degree of pelvic organ prolapse.

Mild prolapse usually doesn’t cause symptoms, but more advanced prolapse can. The most common are discomfort, heaviness or pressure. A woman can feel these sensations in her vaginal area, pelvis, lower abdomen, groin or lower back.

Another common symptom is constipation, due to pressure on the lower intestine. In addition, the pressure on the intestine can cause leakage of bowel movement.

With the most advanced prolapse, a woman notices a bulge of tissue protruding from her vagina. Prolapse also can cause pain during sex or an inability to have an orgasm.

The urinary leakage (incontinence) that you have had, as well as a frequent urge to urinate, are common in women with pelvic organ prolapse. That’s because when the pelvic organs drop down from their normal position, they put pressure on the bladder and the tube (called the urethra) through which urine flows from the bladder to the outside world. This can increase the urge to urinate and reduce a woman’s control over when she urinates.

Why do women get pelvic organ prolapse? Probably the most important factor is having given birth. Women who have given birth to four babies are 10 times more likely to develop prolapse than women who have never given birth. Especially when the birth has been a vaginal delivery,

Your doctor may have had more than a few patients who were delinquent in paying.

Because you were offended, this is something you should discuss with your physician who, because of your long relationship, may be willing to make an exception. However, if that’s not the case, you might be more comfortable taking your business to another doctor.

Because this is having a negative impact on his career, it is extremely important you learn how to manage this insecurity. The quickest way to accomplish it would be to talk this over with a licensed psychotherapist who can give you the insight and the tools you need. Please don’t put it off.

Dear Abby: As an established patient with a specialized doctor, I recently went for my annual checkup. My appointment was scheduled a year ago. As I was checking in, I was informed my doctor now collects all insurance co-pays before seeing patients.

As a senior citizen, I was shocked. Being expected to pay before the service makes me feel like he doesn’t trust me. I can understand a convenience store expecting me to pay for my gas upfront because of drive-offs, but not a professional medical provider. I pay all my bills on time and have excellent credit.

It may be my age, but I want to feel respected and trusted. Shouldn’t a doctor’s office trust its established patients enough to allow them to pay once the service has been rendered? Has our country fallen so low that we are all guilty until proven innocent? – Frustrated Patient In

I fear I have become a problem for Robert.

I’m so attached to him I don’t ever want him to leave. He works from home – even though he shouldn’t – because I want him to be with me. I end up distracting him, and he misses deadlines. His job is almost over because the grant is over, and he’s looking for a job. We are both very worried about this.

I know Robert will never complain about my need for his attention. I know he prefers us to be together, but he needs to work and I need to let him. I don’t know why I struggle with this. I have never behaved this way. – Can’t Let

One of Joni Mitchell’s best-known songs is “Both Sides Now.” It includes this verse: “I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now / From up and down, and still somehow / It’s cloud illusions I recall / I really don’t know clouds at all.”

Bridge players look at the deck from up and down, and experts really do know cards. In today’s deal, both sides now have a chance to make good plays.

What is West’s best lead against four hearts? What happens if West starts with a low spade?

Over North’s textbook game-invitational limit raise, if East had made an aggressive takeout double (especially considering the adverse vulnerability), maybe West would have bid four spades over four hearts. Note that this goes down only one, which is a good sacrifice unless four hearts can be defeated.

If West leads a low club, East can win the trick with his jack and shift to a spade to beat the contract. The defenders can take one spade, one diamond and two clubs.

After a low-spade lead, though, declarer can come out ahead. At the first trick, East should play his 10. He knows West would not underlead the ace, and by playing the 10, he finds out who has the queen.

Suppose South takes the trick, draws trumps, and runs the diamond eight. East can win with the king and lead the spade five to West’s queen.

Then a club shift would give the defenders four tricks.

However, South should see that he has 10 winners via one spade, six hearts and three diamonds. He can fail only if West regains the lead. So, by ducking at trick one, he is safe.

A wide range of models are available in this new technology, including the Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) featured here with breakthrough HD Speech Focus Processing™ technology

Think hearing aids should be heard, not seen?

The new Invisible-In-Canal hearing aids might just be your answer. This 100% custom, invisiblewhen-worn hearing aid is designed with breakthrough HD Speech Focus Processing™ technology that is so fast, it analyzes incoming sound 20,000 times a second, quieting background noise so speech comes through clearly without whistling or buzzing noise. You get all the features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid - yet no one will know you are wearing one. *Full refund of security deposit. Depending on level of customization necessary, fitting/restocking fees may still apply. Benefits of hearing instruments vary by type and degree of hearing loss, noise in the environment, accuracy of hearing test, and proper fit.
