Tips to keep healthy resolutions for body, spiritBy HEIDI LITCHFIELD

[email protected]

MORRIS – With the newyear comes resolutions – thefirm decision to do somethingor not do something.

Many people start off thenew year wanting to be health-ier, to get in shape, or to loseweight. Often times that res-olution goes by the way sidefor any number of reasons.“It’s too hard,” “I’m not seeingenough progress,” or “Thereisn’t enough time,” are theexcuses that personal trainerJohn Cooper of Morris hearsmost frequently.

“We all have the same 24hours a day,” Cooper said.“You need to do it for yourself,not for anyone else.”

Cooper said the first thinghe advises is to sit down andtalk about your goals andmake the goals specific toyourself. He said not everyonehas the same goals and not ev-eryone will get there the sameway.

Kara Corsiglia, a dietitianat Morris Hospital & Health-care Centers, agreed that mak-ing specific goals is the firststep.

“You need to know whatyou want to do,” she said.“Don’t just say I want tolose weight, set a number ofpounds you want to lose andthen decide how long it willtake you to do it.”

She said you need to set re-alistic goals and write themdown to hold yourself account-able.

The hardest part is to makeboth the diet and exercise ahabit.

“After the first couple ofworkouts, you’re going to betired, and maybe sore,” Coo-per said. “Once you start goingto the gym you need to make itpart of your routine.”

He said it’s also importantto make your workout fun,that way you don’t quit by Feb-ruary.

“The best thing you can dois just go to the gym, if youdon’t get results quick enough

or get bored you may want togive up,” he said. “Workingwith a trainer we can keep itexciting. If you know five exer-cises to work on your arms, wemay know 20 to keep you fromgetting bored.”

Both Cooper and Corsigliasaid it’s important to findsomeone with the same goalsas you so you can work towardthe goals together, and you canhold one another accountable.

Cooper said a lot of clientsask him about diets, he saidhe can offer suggestions butwould rather they seek a di-etitian or nutritionist if theywant a more specific diet.

His belief is that people

should eat what they normallyeat, just cut the portion in half.

“It’s 90 percent diet,” hesaid. “You’ll get less resultsworking out seven days aweek if you eat a crappy dietthan you will if you eat a gooddiet and work out one or twotimes a week.”

Corsiglia recommends peo-ple use the “My Plate” methodwhich can be found online atChooseMyPlate.gov . She saidit’s basically one-fourth pro-tein, one-fourth starches, andone-half fruits and vegetables,with a dairy product on theside for a well balanced meal.

“You want to get food fromall food groups,” she said. “Youjust need portion control.”

In addition to setting realis-tic goals so you don’t give up,both advise rewarding your-self.

“It’s important to rewardyourself as you meet a goal,”Corsiglia said. “Just rewardyourself with a non-food itemlike a pedicure.”

They both said to expect tobe human and make mistakes,the important thing is to notgive up.

“The key is getting back ontrack,” Corsiglia said.

Feeding the spiritAs the new year gets start-

ed, not everyone is lookingto lose weight or eat healthy,some people are looking tofeed the spirit by giving back

to their community.Karen Nall, executive di-

rector with United Way ofGrundy County, said there aremany opportunities to giveback in Grundy County.

“Volunteers grow fromtheir first experience help-ing,” Nall said. “We don’t wantto lose sight of the person whowants to give back.”

United Way keeps a list onits website, uwgrundy.org, oforganizations who are in needof volunteers with informa-tion about what the need is for.

Nall said the organizationkeeps two data bases, one ofvolunteers and one of volun-teer opportunities so that ifsomething comes up she cancombine those wishing to helpwith those who need it.

The list gives the informa-tion they have which includesif there is an age requirement,whether or not they offer com-munity service for court orschool and whether it’s a spe-cific project or something on-going.

“There is always volun-teer opportunities whether ornot they are on the list,” Nallsaid. “They are always free tocall the United Way office tocheck.”

Nall said whether it’s writ-ing a check, volunteeringtime, or just being the personwho spreads the word about aneed in the community, givingback is very easy.

RedKettle campaign raises $24K locallyBy CHRISTINA

CHAPMAN–VAN [email protected]

MORRIS – It could havebeen the nice weather, ormaybe people were just filledwith a little more Christmascheer this year – whatever thereason, The Salvation ArmyRed Kettle campaign locallybrought in the third largestamount in Grundy County his-tory.

The Salvation Army’s Na-tional Red Kettle campaignraised $24,556 in Grundy Coun-ty.

This total includes the threegold coins donated during thefirst week of the collection,which were worth $1,846. Mor-ris Coin Shop owner Phil An-derson bought the coins for$2,000.

“It’s really nice, especiallyto bounce back after last year,which was the second worst[year] with the horrible weath-er, the cancellations as a result

and the shortest calendar,”said Denise Gaska, executivedirector for We Care of Grun-dy County.

The Salvation Army’s Na-tional Red Kettle campaignaims to raise money to providetoys for children, coats for thehomeless, food for the hungryand social service programsyear-round, according to itswebsite. In Grundy County,We Care facilitates the RedKettle campaign.

In return for facilitating it,80 percent of all proceeds staywithin the county and willbe spent by We Care to helplow-income families. We Careis a nonprofit agency that pro-vides emergency assistance toGrundy County residents inthe form of food, rent, utilityand prescription assistance.

The campaign went fromNov. 28 to Dec. 22 this year andraised more than $4,000 morethan last year. The highestyear for donations was in 2012with about $30,000 raised, Gas-

ka said, and 2011 followed withabout $26,700 raised.

Multiple things affect thebell ringing campaign, shesaid, from the weather tothe amount of days betweenThanksgiving and Christmas.Last year was the least amountof days in quite awhile.

“The Salvation Army ac-tually plans for those years,”Gaska said. “They know theamount changes significantlydue to the number of days.”

In addition to having moredays this year to raise funds,the good weather played a keyrole, she said.

“The good weather helps alot because people go out moreand shop more,” Gaska said.“When the weather is reallybad they try to plan to stay inmore so the number of tripsthey make [to] each store be-comes less. And maybe they domore online shopping.”

If the weather gets below 10

CHANNAHON – An improv-ing economy in 2015 could bringnew development to Channa-hon.

“I’m more optimistic thisyear will have more develop-ment than 2014,” Village Ad-ministrator Thomas Durkinsaid. “We’re seeing signs theeconomy is slowly improvingand want to get ourselves in aposition to attract developmentwhere it left off [in the reces-sion].”

Durkin plans a “housingsummit” early this year to of-fer information on availablelots and review impact feesand building permits. Someresidential developments havelots platted and “ready,” whileothers shut down before puttingany infrastructure in place.

“I want to see if what we ap-proved six or seven years agois still viable,” Durkin said ofboth residential and commer-cial projects. Village staff alsowill discuss ways to help exist-ing businesses.

“Not how to run a business,but repairs to the physical in-frastructure, for example. Wehave to ask can and should thevillage do that,” Durkin said.

In 2014, the village approveda TIF district near the Route 6and Interstate 55 interchange.About 15 acres are being de-veloped on the north side andDurkin hopes the growth willspread as a $22 million IllinoisDepartment of Transportationproject gets underway.

Starting in 2015, IDOT willreplace the bridge deck of Route6 over the highway, put twolanes and a middle turn lane inboth directions and relocate thefrontage road.

“Having improvements atthe main entrance into town

from the highway will reallyopen up some opportunities fordevelopment,” Durkin said.

Newmayor at the helmChannahon will have a new

leader after the April 7 election.Village President Joe Cook hasannounced he will not seek athird four-year term.

Missey Schumacher, a vil-lage trustee since 2013, was theonly candidate to file a petition

to replace Cook.S c h u m a c h e rpreviously wasvillage clerk.

“I have yetto hear of any-o n e r u n n i n gas a write-in,”S c h u m a c h e rsaid Friday. “So

I’m looking forward to gettingstarted in May. It’s an excitingtime, full of potential for the vil-lage.”

Schumacher would like forthe village to promote retail andcommercial development nearthe Route 6 interchange and in-dustrial and warehouse devel-opment near Bluff Road.

“I love the small-town feelthat we have. But villages haveto grow or they die, so we haveto be smart with where we put[development],” Schumachersaid.

The mayoral candidate alsosaid promoting Channahon’sparks and rivers for recreation-al use to attract more visitorswill spur retail development.

BOYS BASKETBALL: NEWARK 56, ST. BEDE 41

Norsemen use size to its advantage in victoryBy RYANWOODEN

Shaw Media Correspondent

PLANO – Still ailing withstarting guard Matt Eike outwith a wrist injury and JackClausel recovering from illnessthat kept him out of action lastweek, the Newark Norsemenwere back in action Saturdayin the Plano Christmas Classic.

Squaring off against St.Bede, Newark got back into thewin column with a 56-41 victo-ry.

The victory moved Newarkto 2-1 for the tournament andkept ninth-place hopes alive inthe 24-team affair.

Newark (6-7) managed totake advantage of a size edge inthe post en route to the victo-

ry, outrebounding St. Bede bya staggering total of 43-20. TheNorsemen also capitalized onthat size advantage offensive-ly.

Clausel, his brother Will (alengthy swing man) and for-ward Evan Schomer combinedfor 48 of Newark’s 56 points.

“It was great that we wereable to take full advantage of

our size,” Schomer said afterhis 24-point, 11-rebound effort.“We didn’t hit as many shotsas we would have liked, but wewere able to clean up our miss-es and get some second chancepoints out there.”

On the night, Newark hit on48 percent of their shots fromthe field while holding St. Bedeto just 31 percent shooting.

They also held St. Bede’s starguard Jarret Olson to an 8-for-22 night from the field.

“He was definitely a pointof emphasis,” Newark headcoach Rick Tollefson said. “Wehad Karter [Kunkel] runningat him and every time he wouldgo to set a screen we would tryto switch back as soon as wecould. He’s a good player.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 56, BURLINGTON CENTRAL 36

Redskins advance to tourney semifinalsBy RYANWOODEN

ShawMedia Correspondent

PLANO – Going into a quar-terfinal matchup against a red-hot Burlington Central club inthe Plano Christmas Classic,Morris boys basketball coachJoe Blumberg wasn’t sure whatto expect on Saturday night.

There was a chance that af-ter Austin Patterson’s 26-pointperformance on Friday nightin an otherwise off night offen-sively that Burlington Centralwould mix in some box-and-one to stop the talented senior.But, a more balanced night of-fensively by the Redskins keptthe Rockets in a man-to-mandefense as Morris advanced tothe semifinals with a dominant56-36 victory.

Morris had four of their fivestarters in double-figures onthe night. Center Griffin Sobolled the way with 14 points,Jake Walker chipped in 12,Evan Bjelland had 11 and Aus-tin Patterson had 10. The fifthMorris starter, junior Jake Jur-asits added seven points on thenight.

“I thought we executed welltonight,” Blumberg said. “Ithink the box-and-one or dia-mond-and-one was probably intheir back pocket somewhere,but when Walker is hittingshots and [Bjelland] is hittingshots it’s tough to run that.

“Our balance took the pres-sure off [Patterson] tonight andthat’s always nice.”

In addition to the balanceoffensively, the Redskins werealso very active on the offen-sive glass. Morris managed topull down half of their misses

on Saturday night and won theoverall rebounding battle 34-20.

“They pushed us off ourspots, they were more physi-cal and they crashed the glassharder,” Burlington Centralcoach Brett Porto said. “Theycompletely outplayed us in ev-ery facet of the game and at the

end we were just trying to finda couple people that wanted toplay the game.”

And after Burlington Cen-tral his 11 of their first 12 shotsagainst Kaneland on Friday,Morris managed to hold theRockets to 29 percent shootingon the night.

“I thought we defended ballscreens and other than a fewinstances in the second half,I can’t think of an awful lot ofsecond and third-chance oppor-tunities that they had,” Blum-berg said.

Burlington Central was ledby 10 points from forward Ste-

fan Jochum. A night removedfrom 23 points in his first var-sity start, freshman guard ZachSchutta chipped in eight points.

The win moves Morris to7-3 on the season. They playedMendota on Monday night at8:30, a game that started afterpress time.

Morris’ Evan Bjelland shoots during the Redskins’ game against Seneca on Friday in the Plano Christmas Classic. Bjelland scored 11 points in awin over Burlington Central on Saturday.

The firings of Phil Emery and MarcTrestman are regrettable mostly becauseneither one ever really had a chance.

While the world knows the story now ofhow Emery basically chased Bruce Ariansaway while casting his lot with Trestman,thus sealing his fate, the truth is he’s avery good scout who wasn’t close to readyfor a GM job.

When the Bears were searching for aGM three years ago, other clubs were look-ing too. Emery wasn’t on any other clubs’lists.

As much as Emery prided himself onthe thoroughness of his head coachingsearch, it shouldn’t have taken him morethan an hour or two to know Trestmanshouldn’t have been an option.

The last straw for Emery, of course, wasthe bizarre decision to reward Cutler witha franchise quarterback’s contract whenhe had done nothing on the field to earnit. The availability of the franchise tag leftthe Bears with no risk at all of losing him,and for the same or less money than theygave him without guaranteeing any of itmore than 1/3 of the total per year.

The still open questions about his draft-ing and ridiculous stubbornness in forcingShea McClellin on to the field are footnotesto his two main failings.

When Emery hired Trestman, I couldn’t

find a single NFL source, insider oranalyst who didn’t question his ability tohandle a locker room.

So how did that work out?There was never a moment to believe

Trestman and Cutler were a good matchpersonality wise, and minimal researchproved Trestman was a knowledgeable of-fensive mind but far, far from a master.

Equally disturbing about the Trest-

man hire was the way he divorced himselffrom the defense. He actually convincedsegments of Bears Nation that it could winwith mediocre defense at best.

Under Trestman, the Bears have fieldedone of the worst defenses in the leaguein successive seasons, an affront to anysavvy NFL watcher.

Between them, Emery and Trestmaninherited a 10-6 team, turned it into one

of the worst in the league, and made theNFL’s most storied franchise a laughingstock.

Congratulations to the McCaskey fam-ily for acknowledging its mistake and notinsisting on wasting another season. Stick-ing with Emery and Trestman would havemade the situation worse.

The problem now is two-fold. First, itis critical that Ted Phillips, the principal

architect of this mess, be kept completelyout of the football side of the operation,specifically the hiring of the new GM andcoach.

Most importantly, the new generalmanager should not come from within theorganization or have any ties to the Bearslast 25-plus years of dysfunction.

Rewarding their familiarity with Em-ery is what got the Bears into this mess in

the first place.There is a ton of bright young talent outthere ready and dying to take on the chal-lenge of the Bears. Bears fans have to hopeGeorge McCaskey knows how to find it.

CHICAGO FOOTBALL STAFF REPORTS

Hours after firing generalmanager Phil Emery and coachMarc Trestman after a disap-pointing 5-11 season, the Bearsannounced Monday they werehiring a longtime NFL execu-tive to help in their search forEmery’s and Trestman’s replace-ments.

At a late after-noon news confer-ence, ChairmanGeorge McCaskeyand President TedPhillips said ErnieAccorsi, formergeneral manager ofthe Colts, Brownsand Giants, wouldconsult with theteam during the search.

“We are going to proceed witha sense of urgency,” Phillips said.

Emery spent three years asBears GM.

Two of his biggest decisions,the hiring of Trestman and the$126.7 million contract exten-sion granted to quarterback JayCutler last offseason, have beenwidely criticized and likely con-tributed to his downfall.

Trestman took over a 10-6team two years ago. He finished8-8 in his first season, 13-19 over-all.

“Obviously, I have the utmostrespect for Trestman and PhilEmery – those are the guys that

stood on the table for me priorto the draft last year,” said of-fensive lineman Kyle Long, whohas been to two Pro Bowls sincemany NFL observers thought se-lecting him with the 20th overallpick in 2013 was a reach by Em-ery. “There weren’t many peoplethat did that around the league,so I’m just going to continue totry and be the best player I canbe, continue to progress, contin-ue to play for those guys. I knowthat for sure.”

Cornerback Tim Jenningssaid the new coach, whoever thatmight be, needs to focus on de-fense.

“It’s all about the backboneof the defense,” Jennings said.“Coaches, yes, they coach, butyou’ve got to have the players tomake those kind of plays. Whenyou think of the Chicago Bears,you think of Chicago defense andyou’ve kind of got to get back tothat. We didn’t have that founda-tion these past couple of years,and you’ve kind of got to get backto that.”

McCaskey said the 2014 sea-son was unacceptable and addedthat the Bears want to competefor an NFL championship in 2015.

Noon to 3 pmin the Great Hall

Long, Bennett optimistic about future of teamBy ARTHUR ARKUSH

[email protected]

LAKE FOREST – Kyle Longreceived his first shot in theNFL because of Marc Trest-man and Phil Emery. Martel-lus Bennett’s two most produc-tive seasons were overseen bythe now-former Bears regime.

Thus, while neither ap-peared surprised when talkingwith the media at Halas Hallafter learning their formerbosses received pink slipson “Black Monday,” both ex-pressed gratitude for the roleboth the former Bears coachand general manager played intheir respective success.

“Obviously, I have the ut-most respect for Trestmanand Phil Emery – those are theguys that stood on the table forme prior to the draft last year,”said Long, who has been to twoPro Bowls since many NFLobservers thought selectinghim with the 20th overall pickin 2013 was a reach by Emery.“There weren’t many peoplethat did that around the league,so I’m just going to continue totry and be the best player I canbe, continue to progress, con-

tinue to play for those guys, Iknow that for sure.”

Bennett – who tallied a ca-reer-high 90 catches for 916yards and six touchdowns af-ter a training camp suspensionfor body-slamming rookie cor-ner Kyle Fuller during prac-tice – was asked what sense of

responsibility he and his team-mates feel for Monday’s out-come. Before making it clearthat he expects the change toextend to players as the offsea-son progresses, he said thereis enough blame to go around.

“I take big responsibility ingetting coaches cut and getting

coaches new contracts,” Ben-nett admitted. “So I think ev-erybody should feel like theyhad something to do with it. …I wish I could have done moreto help coach out so he can con-tinue to be here and continueto grow as his family moved toChicago and everything likethat.”

But Bears fans, Bennettsaid, should take solace inknowing that he left it all onthe field and intends to contin-ue his upward climb throughworking hard this offseason toone of the league’s better passcatching tight ends.

Unfortunately, instead ofreplicating the impressivegrowth of Long and Bennett,many of their offensive team-mates regressed, playing a bigrole in Monday’s house clean-ing.

When the time arrivedto weigh in on what type ofcoach would be a good fit forthe Bears locker room, Bennettjoked, “one that likes me,” be-fore explaining that he thinksthere are a multitude of philos-ophies and coaching styles thathave led to success in the NFL.

Long, one of the more vo-

cal Bears after the club tieda franchise low with sevenrushing attempts on Thanks-giving, seemed at a loss forwords when trying to put hisfinger on where the Bears’ sea-son went wrong. But he echoedBennett’s sentiments not onlyregarding the universal fail-ure on offense, but also theoptimism that lies ahead afterTrestman’s final meeting withthe team helped provide clo-sure and, in turn, optimism forwhat’s next.

Yet, unlike Bennett, Longwas very specific regardingthe type of coach he’s anxiousto see come in to oversee whathe deemed a “rebuilding pro-cess.”

“The right coach for Chi-cago is one that wants to in-still an identity, demands ateam that has an identity, andwhen we play opponents, theyshould say, ‘We don’t want toplay those guys,’ ” Long said.“There’s a handful of teams inthe NFL that are like that andI feel like we have the nucleusto be able to do that. We hav-en’t done that, and that’s some-thing that we need to do.”

ber30,201419OPINION

ANOTHER VIEW

No Child Left Behindneeds major overhaul

The federal No Child Left Behind law has donea lot of leaving behind in its 12-year run. The lawis long overdue for Congress to overhaul it and ridschools of its burden.

Lawmakers hailed the law as a bipartisan triumphwhen President George W. Bush signed it into law in2001 as a reauthorization of the 1965 Elementary andSecondary Education Act. The law now needs a heftyrevival of bipartisan collaboration to amend it.

No Child Left Behind’s core concept involves man-dating measurable student progress year after yearuntil all students in a school reach or exceed profi-ciency in math and English.

The goal of no longer passing students from gradeto grade, regardless of their educational achievement,resonated with lawmakers. Problems surfaced, how-ever, in the execution.

The law relies on test scores to measure progressand punitive consequences for schools that didn’tmeet “adequate yearly progress” – such as losingcontrol of federal funding or having to send letters toparents informing them their child’s school is failing.

Another challenge is that different states andschool districts have their own definitions of “profi-cient.”

The education department created a waiver systemto give some states relief from the law’s penalties.

Washington was granted a waiver. Earlier thisyear, the department revoked the waiver after statelawmakers refused to make test scores a componentof teacher evaluations, a federal requirement.

After Washington lost its waiver, about 92 percentof schools were deemed “failing.” As a result, the fed-eral government took away local control of 20 percentof the state’s Title I funds, or about $40 million.

Few, if any, members of Congress think the lawworks for any state, but agreeing on how to fix itis the main hurdle, said U.S. Sen. Patty Murray,D-Wash.

“There are a million people who have a pet inter-est in the bill,” Murray said.

She recently became the ranking Democrat onthe Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions(HELP) committee. She sought the position becauseshe says it puts her in position to broker a deal topass a revised law.

Congress has not reauthorized the law since 2007.Last year, the HELP committee passed a revision, butthe bill never made it to the Senate floor for a vote.

Areas of contention include deciding on schoolstandards, the right mix of federal and state control,and flexibility in implementation.

After more than a decade, lawmakers should learnfrom past mistakes and ensure better education forthe nation’s students.

Can you find the hidden words? Search carefullybecause some words are backward or diagonal.

hen some peoplehear the term “light-year,”they mistakenly believe itis a measurement of time.A light-year is actually a unit ofmeasurement that represents how farlight travels in one year. Light-years areused to describe the almost unimaginablyvast distances between stars, galaxiesand other objects in our universe.

This edition of Shortcuts issponsored by Jonathan Swift.

On average, our planet isabout 0.00001582 light-years(93 million mi.) from oursun. It takes light from thesun about 8 minutes and17 seconds to travel thatdistance, or about 8.321light-minutes. It takes lightfrom the moon about 1.28seconds to reach the Earth.

In the early 1600s,Galileo attempted, andfailed, to measure thespeed of light.In the 1670s, Dutchastronomer OlausRoemer calculated thespeed of light usingobservations of Jupiter’smoons. His calculationswere slightly lower thanthe known speed of light.

For more information, check out these websites: http://marshallbrain.com/science/lightyear.htm www.universetoday.com/39725/1-light-year/ http://alightyear.com/ www.shortcutscomic.com Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS, Inc. © Jeff Harris 2014 12/29

The farthest objects thatastronomers can detect in our universe

are nearly 13 billion light-years away.

Our MilkyWay Galaxy is about100,000 light-years in diameter.

What does light sayafter traveling 9.46 trillion kilometers?

Happy New Year!

Whatdo you call

a line of beesthat is 9.46 trillionkilometers long?

A buzz light-year.

What do youcall a deer travelingat the speed of light?

A fast buck.

How didthe alien feel

after traveling atthe speed of light?

A little light-headed.

The word“year” in light-year

represents a “Julian”year. A Julian year is

exactly 365.25 days witheach day lasting 86,400

seconds. It representsan average yearfrom the Julian

calendar.

NASA’S Voyager 1space probe, launched in 1977, is the

farthest man-made object from our planet. It istraveling at 57,600 km/hr (36,000 mph), but it will

still take nearly 17,500 more years for itto travel 1 light-year.

In additionto the light-year

as a unit of measure,astronomers also use

the “parsec.” A parsecis equal to about

3.26 light-years.

One light-yearis equal to about 9.46 trillion km

(5.88 trillion mi.).

The nearest star toour planet is Proxima Centauri. It is

about 4.2 light-years away. If you were in a jettraveling at 800 km/hr (500 mph), it would take

you more than 5.6 million years to travelthat same distance.

You shouldread my new book:Gulliver Travels At

Light Speed.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Ronnie Shakes, a stand-up come-dian who died in 1987, said, “After 12years of therapy my psychiatrist saidsomething that brought tears to myeyes. He said, ‘No hablo ingles.’”

After declarer went down in thissmall slam, he might have said, “Nocontaba con doce” – I did not countto 12.

What should declarer have done totry to make six spades after West ledthe diamond king?

North was right to raise hispartner’s one-spade response to twospades.

Then, though, South should havetemporized with a three-club rebid.North would probably have continuedwith three no-trump, denying four-card spade support and promising adiamond stopper.

After that, South should haveinvited a slam with four no-trump.Note, however, that six spades is theonly small slam that can be made –although it is very lucky.

At the table, declarer was sobothered by the lack of a fourth trumpin the dummy that he never gavethe contract any thought and drifteddown.

If he had asked himself which12 tricks he could have won, hewould have seen four top spades (heneeded trumps 3-3), two hearts, twodiamonds, three clubs and a club ruffin the dummy.

South takes the first trick with hisdiamond ace, leads a spade to dum-my’s queen, returns a club to his jack,ruffs his low club in the dummy, cash-es the spade ace, plays a heart to hisking, cashes the spade king (drawingtrumps), and leads a diamond towarddummy’s jack. Whew!

**

If you bid six,count to 12

BROADCAST

Dear Doctor K: I’m 70 years old.I already had a pneumonia vac-cine, back when I was 65. At mycheckup last week, my doctorsaid I need to get another one.Why?

Dear Reader: I always like tohear that adults are stayingup to date with their vacci-nations, as you did when youreceived a dose of the PPSV23(Pneumovax) vaccine at age65. Pneumovax helps protectagainst pneumonia caused byone common type of bacteria,called pneumococcus.

Pneumonia caused by pneu-mococcus bacteria can makepeople very sick, very fast. Iknow: It happened to me.

Without treatment, thepneumonia can become severe.

The bacteria can also spreadinto the bloodstream or cancause meningitis, a seriousinfection of the membranessurrounding the brain andspinal cord.

Now, the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention (CDC)are advising adults age 65 andolder to get a second vaccine toprevent bacterial pneumonia.The second vaccine, PCV13(Prevnar 13), is expected toprevent many additional casesof pneumonia.

The PCV13 vaccine is not

“new.” It has been includedin childhood vaccinations forseveral years. But it is new foradults.

The CDC recommends asingle dose of PCV13 for anyonewho is older than 65. If youhave the option, the CDC says itis best to get the PCV13 beforethe PPSV23. If you are gettingthe PCV13 first, wait a yearbetween the two vaccines. If, asin your case, you have alreadyreceived the PPSV23 vaccine,you can still get the PCV13vaccine.

Vaccines are important foravoiding infection. But thesevaccines protect only againstspecific bacteria. There aremany other things you can, andshould, do to reduce your risk

of catching pneumonia causedby other bacteria and viruses.These measures will also pro-tect you against a cold, the fluand many other infections.

The best way to protectyourself from infection is towash your hands often withsoap and warm water. Rubyour hands together for a full20 seconds. If you don’t haveaccess to soap and water, usean alcohol-based hand sanitiz-er. Stay away from people youknow are sick. If you are sick,stay home to avoid infectingothers. At home, avoid kissing,hugging and sharing utensilswith someone who is unwell.

When I caught pneumoniadue to pneumococcus, I hadn’treceived the vaccine -- because

I was not old enough. I was feel-ing great when I went to bed.When I got up the next morn-ing, however, I felt very tired.When I looked in the mirror,I looked white as a ghost. I felthot and had a high fever. I tookmyself to the emergency roomand my blood pressure wasvery low: I was in shock.

Fortunately, prompt treat-ment turned me around and Iwas back in action a few dayslater. But I came close to dying.When it came time for me to getthe vaccine, I surely did. I don’twant that to happen ever again.

Getting second pneumonia vaccine now recommended
