By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – When Debbie Anderson and Pat Lewis distribute blankets at homeless shelters, they hang a poster that says “In Memory of Brian.”

Brian was Anderson’s son.

He died of a brain tumor in 1986, shortly after his second birthday. For nearly 20 years around Thanksgiving, Anderson, of Lockport, has distributed blankets in Brian’s name.

She and Lewis gave away an estimated 500 blankets this year – as well as new hats, gloves and socks, 70 of each.

Children receive stuffed animals, puzzles and treat bags.

“It’s a special way to keep Brian’s memory alive,” Lewis said, “by giving to people who don’t have anything.”

Benefiting agencies include Lamb’s Fold Center, MorningStar Mission, Catholic Charities, Head Start and Daybreak Center, all in Joliet, Anderson

BOLINGBROOK – A Countryside man was killed Tuesday in a collision with a semitrailer.

The crash occurred at 6:54 p.m. at Joliet Road and 107th Street in Bolingbrook. Police Lt. Mike Rompa said a semitrailer was turning north onto Joliet Road when it was struck by a Chevrolet Equinox traveling south.

The driver of the Chevrolet, John C. Snella, 70, was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:12 p.m., according to the coroner’s office. A 76-year-old Countryside woman who had been in the passenger seat was taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital in critical condition, Rompa said. As of Wednesday afternoon, she remained in the intensive care unit.

The truck driver, a 30-year-old man from Brooklyn, New York, was not hurt.

Each year, two Lockport women, Debbie Anderson (left) and Pat Lewis (right), collect and distribute hundreds of blankets for the homeless in memory of Anderson’s son Brian, who died of a brain tumor at age 2. said. The Plainfield-based Purple Project for unwed mothers and the Giving Tree in Lockport also receive blankets.

“I couldn’t do this without Pat. She is a great organizer,” Anderson said. “She said it’s an honor to do this.”

JOLIET – One man was hospitalized Wednesday morning after a small fire at a senior facility in Joliet.

Battalion Chief John Stachelski said crews were called about 6:30 a.m. to Brookdale Joliet, an assisted living center at 3320 Executive Drive.

“It appears the fire started near the mattress,” he said.

The sprinkler system activated and the damage was contained to one room, but there was a lot of smoke in the building, according to Stachelski.

“All of the residents in that wing were evacuated,” he said.

The man who was in the room complained of smoke inhalation and was taken to the hospital to be examined, Stachelski said.

The cause of the fire was still under investigation Wednesday.

BRAIDWOOD – A dryer fire damaged half of a duplex Wednesday in Braidwood.

Fire Chief Ken Heberer said the fire began at 10:34 a.m. at a unit in the 500 block of North Center Street. The adult son and daughter of the resident were home at the time, but escaped without injury.

“Crews arrived to see smoke coming out of the front door and eaves, but were able to get it under control in about 15 minutes,” Heberer said. No one was home in the adjacent unit, which was not damaged.

Heberer said it appears the blaze started in a clothes dryer and caused about $20,000 in damage to a bathroom, kitchen and living room. Also damaged or destroyed in the fire were

CORRECTIONS In the article “19 percent levy increase sought” that was on page 9 of the Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2014, edition of the The Herald-News, the amount of the proposed levy was incorrect.

Plainfield School District 202 will review a proposed levy of $205.8 million during the public hearing Dec. 15.

In the article “Some Lockport officials uneasy about Volz developer” that was on page 6 of the Sunday, Nov. 23, 2014, edition of The Herald-News, 4th Ward Alderwoman Denise Marynowski’s views on MadHunt, LLC need to be clarified. Marynowski did not say she was “fine” with the company itself but said she had met the brothers who are among the company owners and was “fine” with them. She has concerns about the company.

In the article “Lockport prepares to vote on tax levy” that was on page 10 of the Friday, Nov. 21, 2014, edition of The Herald-News, the name of Lockport City Finance Director Lisa Heglund was misspelled.

3 stories of community members giving and receiving blessings

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS, DENISE BARAN–UNLAND and FELIX SARVER Shaw Media

O

n this day dedicated to giving thanks, The Herald-News revisited people who were the subjects of three stories this year.

They all faced remarkable and unique challenges. We thought it would be interesting to come back and ask them to reflect on what Thanksgiving means to them.

Here are Thanksgiving messages we are passing on to you from the stories of Sarah Dean, Michael Pinnick and the Sabec brothers.

Dean is a young nurse who lost her hand while on a mission in South America.

Pinnick is a recovering drug addict who now devotes his Shaw Media file photo life to helping others even Michael Pinnick meets with a store manager Aug. 13 at the Walgreens at 358 E.

and nephews and the sadness of never being able to see them grow up. There’s times now where I get to hold them and I do have a tear because I am thankful,” Dean said.

Michael Pinnick

In the midst of treatments for stage four lymphoma and stage two lung cancer, recovering drug addict Michael Pinnick, 52, of Joliet said he is thankful for two reasons.

One is for the gift of life – again. The other is for a deeper relationship with the God that’s giving it to him.

“Sometimes we take life for granted,” Pinnick said. “I’m thankful I built a better relationship with God, because sometimes we take that for granted, too.”

Pinnick is too busy collecting donations for his seventh annual Christmas party for disadvantaged children 12 and under to waste time at a pity party. He needs enough gifts, hot dogs, potato chips and punch for about 300 kids by Dec. 21, the party’s date.

The party will include entertainment – praise dancers and a rapper – along with a visit from Santa, a man in recovery whom Pinnick mentors.

“Imagine the black kid in the projects with the parents who are too drunk or high to send him for a picture with Santa,” Pinnick said. “Every kid goes home with a picture with Santa and a gift.”

Pinnick also spent a day driving around distributing turkeys – after someone donated 10 – to anyone who looked like he or she needed one. Last August, he collected donations for his foundation’s annual “Back to School Fair.”

In his spare time, Pinnick checks in at Pinnick Place, his foundation’s two Joliet homes for women recovering from substance abuse. And, yes, he

THANKSGIVING ADVICE

Stand by your pan – and other home cooking safety tips

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

Brian Stanley – bstanley@shawmedia.com

A “DigiTree” has been installed in the middle of the Louis Joliet Mall. Self-portraits taken by mallgoers appear on the digital panels hanging around the tree.

‘Digital tree’ is holiday centerpiece at Joliet mall

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Sisters Amanda Dore, 26, and Sara Janovsky, 24, didn’t quite know what they were looking at Wednesday when they approached the Louis Joliet Mall’s center court.

Where a run-of-the-mill ficus tree once was, an interactive 25-foot-tall “DigiTree” stood in its place.

Self-portraits taken by mall-goers at a nearby photo booth – along with community news, promotional offers and mall events – popped up across 113 colorful LCD panels and LED pendants hanging from suspended spiral helixes surrounding the ficus tree.

“It’s pretty interesting. It’s so innovative. Once everyone figures out what it is, there’s going to be a long line to snap a selfie,” Amanda Dore said.

The center court’s new in-

teractive digital tree is the first in the country for Starwood Retail Partners, which owns the Joliet mall and 27 other malls nationwide.

Rob Hense, senior vice president of development with Starwood, explained the tree’s curiosities during an unveiling event Wednesday morning.

“Candidly, this may seem like a bit of an odd concept.

Exactly what is a digital tree and what does it do?” he said.

“I’ve got to admit, I didn’t quite get it at first, but when you see what this ingenious bit of technological artistry can do, you’ll be amazed.”

Mallgoers could take selfies that appeared on the tree Wednesday, but the mall will soon roll out a feature allowing tweets to appear with the hashtag #LJMDigiTree.

“This will allow us to communicate with you, the community, for you to communicate with us, and for you all

to interact with one another,” Hense said.

Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante took the first selfie in the photo booth, where mallgoers can pick a theme and caption and then watch as photos are sent up to rotate through the LCD panels.

“I’m going to give this a try and we’ll all witness the tree come to life with my photo. I hope I don’t break it,” Giarrante joked before snapping the selfie.

Kate Knuth, the mall’s general manager, said she hopes the tree can bring a sense of community with the new integrated technology and comfortable seating.

The mall has a nearly 100 percent occupancy rate for the holiday season, with the addition of about six namebrand stores this year. H&M, a worldwide clothing retailer with more than 3,200 stores, is scheduled to open next month.

PLAINFIELD – The peak day for home cooking fires is Thanksgiving – when we’re often distracted by daydreams of Black Friday sales, friends and family, and the football game on TV. But responding to house fires Thanksgiving Day – a holiday that sees three times the average daily number of cooking fires – is the last thing firefighters want to do, said David Riddle, deputy chief for the Plainfield Fire Protection District.

“If we get a call, of course we’re going to respond,” Riddle said. “But it’s important for people to stay safe and keep an eye on the oven.”

Range and stovetop fires are the most frequently reported home cooking-related fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association.

Riddle said his No. 1 piece of advice: Don’t leave the house with the turkey – or any dish – in the oven.

Each year, the fire protection district releases safety tips to remind people about the dangers of home cooking fires, Riddle said.

“There are a million distractions to everybody’s life on a daily basis. We are in competition with 500 cable channels, football, the weather, shopping and everything else, but that’s our mission, that’s our focus.

We try to take every opportunity [to advocate public safety],” Riddle said.

To keep a cooking fire from ruining a holiday celebration, the fire protection

Safe food handling tips Food safety is especially critical during the holiday season – when leftovers are plentiful and hand hygiene can occasionally take a back seat.

These simple tips can help you and your family avoid becoming among the nearly 76 million cases of food-borne illnesses this year: Q Keep hands and food preparation surfaces clean by washing hands, utensils and cutting boards before and after contact with raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs.

Q Use one cutting board for raw meat and poultry and a separate one for vegetables and fruit.

Q You can’t always tell whether food is cooked thoroughly by the way it looks. Use a food thermometer to ensure proper internal cooking temperatures are maintained.

Q Refrigerate leftovers as soon as possible and store in shallow containers for rapid cooling.

district offers these tips: • Stand by your pan.

• Always stay in your home while cooking your turkey and frequently check on it.

• If using a turkey fryer, always follow the manufacturer’s guide for safe and proper use.

• Keep children away from lighters, stoves, hot food and liquids, knives and electric cords.

• Make sure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly.

Morris Home for the Holidays will feature a variety of events

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Those wishing to find the holiday spirit need look no further than the 23rd annual Home for the Holidays events taking place in Morris this weekend.

“We’ve moved some things around and will host the parade at 5:30 instead of 5 p.m. on Friday,” said Julie Applegate, chairwoman of the Home for the Holidays Committee. “The big thing this year is the festivities after the parade in Chapin Park.”

She said the time has changed to allow more people to get home from work and bring their children downtown to take in the Lighted Holiday Parade & Lighting Spectacular.

The parade welcomes Santa Claus to downtown Morris and the route will start at Franklin and Washington streets, and continue north on Liberty Street, ending at Chapin Park where the park will be lit up with decorations.

This year Santa Claus will remain at Chapin Park for the festivities instead of making his way to his house on Illinois Avenue right away.

Other events taking place Friday include the lantern-making event at the Eagle’s Hall that gives children a chance to create their own lantern anytime between 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. and then use it during their own lighted parade around the courthouse at 5 p.m.

Saturday starts off early with an opportunity for chil-

LOCAL BRIEF Sheriff’s police charge man with drug delivery

PEOTONE – Police reportedly found a kilo of cocaine in the back of a pickup truck Tuesday.

Will County Sheriff’s Lt. Brett Schaeffer said Gang Suppression Unit officers were on Route 50 near North Peotone Road about 1:15 p.m. when they saw a black Ford SVT switching lanes without signalling.

Luis A. Ramirez, 25, was pulled over and did not have a valid driver’s license, according to Schaeffer. While he was detained, a canine unit was

called to the scene to inspect the pickup. Inside the truck bed was a tire that did not have a rim, but did contain a Dunkin’ Donuts bag with a wrapped kilo of Luis A. cocaine inside, Ramirez Schaeffer said.

Ramirez, of the 4900 block of South Damen Avenue in Chicago, was arrested on charges of delivery of drugs and driving without a license and booked into the Will County jail.

dren to have breakfast with Santa at the Morris Area Public Library, 604 N. Liberty St., where a continental style breakfast will be served. Reservations are required for that event.

Santa and his reindeer will be at the Grundy County Courthouse for families to stop by and get photos while enjoying hot apple cider from First Baptist Church Outreach.

From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. the annual Home for the Holidays House Walk and tea will take place, with five local homes

opening their doors for House Walk guests.

Applegate said they have dubbed this House Walk “Over the River and Through the Woods” with homes from the north side of Morris to south of the river being featured.

“We have five great homes that are so diverse,” said Penny Olson-Langland, chairwoman of the House Walk. “Every home is different – whatever your style is, you will walk through a house that is your style.”

This year the tea will be hosted at Living Water Church of the Nazarene at 118 E. Jefferson St., which is in itself a historic building that once housed the town’s movie theater.

Proceeds from the House Walk are donated to various organizations.

Trip to Chicago inspired the project • BLANKETS

Continued from page 2 So Anderson began taking the children to Chicago to see decorations. During one trip 18 years ago, Anderson encountered a homeless woman warming her small child by wrapping him in a newspaper.

“It was like a light bulb went off in my head,” Anderson said.

“It really bothered me.”

So her family started bringing care packages to Chicago – shopping bags of blankets, sandwiches, water bottles and handmade scarves from one of Brian’s grandmothers – to give to homeless people they encountered.

In 2007, Anderson and Lewis began a blanket drive at Holy

Family Parish in Shorewood, where Lewis attends Mass. Until then, the church’s Christian Service Group had only hosted food and clothing drives, said Karl Huebner, a deacon at Holy Family. They collected 450 the first year.

“It grows and gets more enthusiastic every year,” Huebner said. “People bring their blankets and ask, ‘How much does this make?’ They want to try and top it.”

Lewis takes the blankets home, separates them and then contacts agencies to schedule distribution.

“All we hear is, ‘Thank you; God bless you,’ ” Anderson said, adding that one person walked away yelling, “She gave me a blanket! That lady gave me a blanket!”

Jackie Kinney, volunteer coordinator at MorningStar Mission, said the women came twice this year, with clients choosing a blanket. Staff appreciate the donations, too, because it’s one less item they have to provide.

“The timing was perfect,” Kinney said, “right before the cold snap.”

At the shelters, only the clients who live on the streets and sleep in cars receive blankets, Lewis said. The women see a lot of repeat customers.

“What people don’t realize – and we didn’t either before we started doing this – is that they throw the old blankets in the garbage,” Lewis said.

“They use the blankets all winter long. By spring, they’re wet and torn and dirty.”

Ray Sabec: ‘We want to be good people and good citizens’ • GRATITUDE

Continued from page 3 acquired donations for complete Thanksgiving dinners for these women, too.

“As long as I live, I’ll continue to help people – the sick, the suffering and those who are looked down on,” Pinnick said. “I’m going to continue to find a way to be active in my community.”

To donate to the “Done With Drugs” Christmas party, contact Iris Pinnick at 815-2743130.

Sabec brothers

When Ray Sabec woke up at 5 a.m. Wednesday, he thought about all the things that made him thankful.

The New Lenox resident had a lot to be grateful for this year. Sabec and two brothers watched as the dozens of volunteers along with two nonprofit organizations – Sharefest and Operation Nehemiah – came together to renovate their deteriorating abode.

“We’re lucky to be here in

but it didn’t seem like it would last for long.

Until August. That’s when organizers with Sharefest gathered donations, volunteers and help from Operation Nehemiah, an organization dedicated to disaster relief and rebuilding destroyed homes.

Now the brothers live in a renovated home that keeps them warm, comfortable and feeling normal.

“Your thinking changes, too, because you can make plans for other things rather than just get by from day to day,” Sabec said.

News from across the state

Illinois AG files notice of appeal in pension case

CHICAGO – Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed official notice Wednesday with the Illinois Supreme Court that the state will appeal a ruling that Illinois’ landmark pension overhaul is unconstitutional.

Illinois has the nation’s worst-funded state pension systems, with an unfunded liability of about $100 billion.

Lawmakers and Gov. Pat Quinn approved an overhaul last year that reduces benefits for retirees. Unions and retirees sued, arguing the Illinois Constitution states that retirement benefits cannot be reduced. The state argued pensions can be modified in times of crisis.

A Sangamon County circuit judge last week struck down the law as unconstitutional.

Madigan has said she’ll ask the Illinois Supreme Court to rule as quickly as possible because of the significant impact the decision will have on Illinois’ finances.

Health insurance sign-ups coming to shopping malls

CHICAGO – The Obama administration will promote health insurance coverage at shopping malls starting on Black Friday and continuing through the busiest shopping days of the holiday season, officials announced Wednesday. They said more than 462,000 people selected a private insurance plan in the first week of 2015 enrollment through the online marketplace HealthCare.gov.

The government’s enrollment push with Westfield Shopping Centers will involve setting up outreach tables at malls in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey,

The Department of Employment Security said Wednesday unemployment was at six- or seven-year lows in most metro areas. The agency said the numbers reflect “a strengthening of local economies,” as employers in seven out of 12 metros reported larger payrolls.

The most significant drop in joblessness was in Decatur, which has been plagued by high unemployment. It fell to 8.2 percent, compared with 12.4 percent in October of last year. The Danville rate also fell sharply, from 12.5 percent to 8.5 percent.

Five areas lost jobs in October.

They were Bloomington-Normal, Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Decatur, Peoria and the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis.

The Illinois jobless rate for October was 6.6 percent.

5 Photo provided by Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum

The bed in which President Abraham Lincoln died in 1865 rests in front of a painting depicting his death at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The bed, on loan from the Chicago History Museum, is part of “Undying Words: Lincoln 1858-1865,” a new exhibition at the presidential library on Lincoln’s greatest speeches. The exhibit runs through February 2016 and includes artifacts compiled by the Springfield museum and the Chicago History Museum. The heart of the exhibit is five Lincoln speeches: 1858’s “House Divided,” 1861’s first inaugural address, the 1863 Gettysburg Address, his 1865 second inaugural address and a final speech about the Reconstruction given three days before his death.

Connecticut, Maryland, New York and Washington state.

Separately, the California insurance marketplace, Covered California, will work with Westfield malls in that state.

The administration released what it called a snapshot of signups for the first week of the enrollment period, which started Nov. 15. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said 462,125 people chose a health plan in the 37 states using the federal website.

Illinois gives $4.5M to food banks

BERWYN – The state is giving nearly $4.5 million to eight food banks across Illinois for modernization. Gov. Pat Quinn announced the money Wednesday. His office said the food banks help nearly 2 million people. The money comes from a capital fund.

The food banks are located in areas including around Chicago, Peoria and Rockford.

The state money will be used to buy software and computer

equipment. The food banks will put in money for training on new digital record keeping. The idea is to reduce paper and improve efficiency. State officials tried out the new system with a pilot program at Chicago food area pantries this year.

Jobless rate falls in all Ill. metro areas

CHICAGO – Unemployment dropped in all of Illinois’ metro areas in October. It was the seventh straight month of across-the-board decreases.

Clemency for man wrongfully jailed for 1991 murder

CHICAGO – A man wrongfully convicted and imprisoned in the 1991 murder of a Dixmoor girl can take the final steps toward cleaning up his record under a clemency petition Gov. Pat Quinn granted Wednesday.

Robert Taylor was one of five men convicted as a teenager in the rape and murder of 14-yearold Cateresa Matthews. The so-called “Dixmoor 5” served years in prison before they were cleared by DNA evidence. Taylor spent nearly two decades behind bars.

While records were expunged, Taylor had a lingering felony conviction for failing to show up to the final day of his trial, something that’s made it difficult to apply for jobs since his 2011 release. The granted petition allows Taylor to seek expungement for the bail bond violation through the courts.

Quinn said he’s been making “significant progress” on a clemency backlog. Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, took action on 311 cases on Wednesday, granting 126 and denying 185.

Jerome Jenkins, who runs the restaurant with his wife, Cathy, said he never considered closing his doors.

“It really wasn’t about wondering if the building would get torched or not,” Jenkins said. “Me and my wife, we expected it to get damaged ... we decided to go home, and we would live with whatever fate would give us.”

He said it was protesters who helped spare his business during Monday night’s chaos, when a dozen commercial buildings were burned to the ground.

FERGUSON, Mo. – Business owners and residents boarded up windows and cleared away debris Wednesday as Ferguson sought a tentative return to normal after two nights of unrest over the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown case.

Protesters continued to hold scattered demonstrations, including a group that rushed into St. Louis City Hall screaming “Shame, shame.”

Police locked down the building and called in more than a hundred extra officers. Three people were arrested.

About 200 demonstrators marched through downtown St. Louis and held a mock trial of Darren Wilson, the white police officer who shot and killed the unarmed Brown, who was black, during an Aug. 9 struggle.

An influx of guardsmen helped make Tuesday night much less tense, although

there were still 58 arrests, and demonstrators in Ferguson set fire to a squad car and broke windows at City Hall.

On Wednesday, many residents hoped that the relative calm of the daylight hours would last through the night and into the Thanksgiving holiday.

A few hours after nightfall, National Guard troops with rifles were posted at intersections and in several parking lots in the area where stores were looted and burned Monday into Tuesday. But there were no protesters in sight.

Earlier in the day, about a dozen people painted over boarded-up windows on businesses in the St. Louis suburb’s historic downtown, where National Guardsmen were stationed every few feet and some looked down from rooftops.

“This is my Ferguson, you know?” said Kari Hobbs, 28, as she watched 17-year-old Molly Rogers paint “Love Will Win” in bright pink on a board that covered a smashed window at

CLEVELAND – The police officer who fatally shot a 12-yearold boy carrying a pellet gun fired within 1½ to two seconds of pulling up in his cruiser, police said Wednesday. During those few moments, he ordered the youngster three times to put up his hands, they said.

The city released a surveillance video that shows the shooting of Tamir Rice, who was carrying an airsoft gun that shoots nonlethal plastic pellets.

Much of the footage shows what appears to be a bored kid alone in a park on an unseasonably warm November afternoon with what appears to be a gun in his hand. The gun wasn’t real. It can be bought at sporting goods stores for less than $20. Tamir’s was lacking the bright orange tip that usually is put on such weapons to indicate they’re not real guns.

The officer who shot Tamir was identified Wednesday as Timothy Loehmann, a 26-yearold rookie who began his career in Cleveland on March 3. He and his partner are on paid administrative leave pending a decision by prosecutors on whether to pursue any criminal charges.

The program reaches the onemonth mark on Thursday – and so far, it hasn’t found any cases of Ebola.

It’s up to local officials to decide how to keep track of the travelers who end up in their states, and determine what – if any – restrictions to impose.

Most checking is done through daily phone calls, often with the person calling in to report their temperature and any symptoms.

And by all accounts, most travelers have been cooperative.

Last week during a congressional hearing, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden said health officials lost track of only a tiny proportion of travelers – “less than 1 percent.”

Ginsburg’s procedure came after a blockage was discovered in her right coronary artery, said court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg. The justice was taken to the hospital by ambulance about 10 p.m. Tuesday after she “experienced discomfort” during routine exercise at the court with her personal trainer, Arberg said.

Give thanks for blessings

Charles Dickens once wrote: “Reflect on your present blessings, on which every man has many, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”

Some people joyfully welcome Thanksgiving as the start of an eagerly awaited holiday season, and can quickly and easily tick off many reasons to be thankful. Others, often through circumstances not of their making, find even cracking a smile hard to do, and relate more to Dickens’ Scrooge than the above quote.

Research suggests simply being thankful can help one find that smile. In her 2008 book, “The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want,” psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky found that simply counting one’s blessings – privately or through expressions of appreciation to others – created happy feelings.

Moreover, a study reported in the 2003 edition of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology said people who focused on gratitude and the positive forc-

es in their lives had greater well-being.

These individuals were not only happier, they were healthier and had tighter social bonds.

Perhaps the Pilgrims were on to something.

As one might guess, ship travel across the Atlantic Ocean in 1620 was less than pleasant. Yet once the Pilgrims arrived at their destination, they offered thanks, even though two of their members had died and most were sick. By the end of their first winter on American soil, half of that original group had died.

Yet after their first harvest a year later, they celebrated for three days – despite hardships, loss of loved ones and the fact they were dining on unfamiliar foods with strangers in a new land.

If you’re still coming up short on blessings and reasons for gratitude, consider this: We live in a country that sets aside – as a national holiday – 24 hours once a year just to give thanks.

Now that is a blessing to count.

Picking up the slack in health care for women VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez St. Vincent’s Hospital went from lifesaver to bankrupt to closed to construction site for luxury condominiums in what seemed the twinkle of an eye in lower Manhattan.

Its end created a void. It was a place of births, last breaths, long and grueling nights, close calls and emergency care.

Its closure is made no less traumatic by the memory of words spoken by St. John Paul II when he visited these shores in 1987. He told Catholic health care workers: “Your health care ministry ... is one of the most significant services which the Catholic Church offers to society in the name of Jesus Christ.”

But it is precisely because

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

of that service that Ronald Rak found himself walking the emptied halls of St. Vincent’s four years ago. Rak is the CEO and president of St. Peter’s Healthcare System in New Jersey. What he saw saddened him: derelict operating rooms, empty offices, vacant hallways; a place of aid and healing beginning to uneasily vanish. As he was told the story of what had happened by a hospital administrator, he asked about what the void created by the hospital’s absence meant for people in New York, who might be abandoned along with the building. She pointed him to “a little project we started in Midtown ... called Gianna.”

The Gianna Center cares for women in a way foreign to much of health care today.

The scandal of women’s health care is that problems aren’t solved, complications aren’t

investigated and dispensing quick fixes and pills are all too often the protocol. But Gianna is something different.

Rak went to the Gianna Center that day, and St. Peter’s soon would bring Gianna under its wing, seeing it as not only “critical to the care of women in New York City,” but as possibly the “genesis” of something more, Rak said.

That was the beginning of the National Gianna Center for Women’s Health, which has expanded from Manhattan to 14 cities, building a business model and even undertaking legislative outreach so alternative health care – rooted in Catholic social teaching but (as the Gospel teaches) not exclusive to Catholics – can be accessible.

The Gianna Center exists in no small part to serve as an open door to women facing unplanned pregnancies, offer-

ing support and counsel that often goes by the wayside in secular hospitals. The Gianna message, Dr. Anne Nolte, Gianna’s director, explained, is: “We’re going to make sure you’re healthy and your baby is healthy and do whatever it takes to help you get through this.” Whereas many hospitals may offer the easy fix of abortion – a solution that often brings an unacknowledged load of further trauma – Gianna offers hope, help and life.

During his time as archbishop of New York, Cardinal John O’Connor asked any pregnant woman in need of help to come to the Catholic Church, which would help. He established a group of nuns, the Sisters of Life, to do just that. Cardinal Timothy Dolan has renewed that plea and pledge, and, with the work of the Gianna Center, is able to see that promise fulfilled and

to give new life to ministries that would otherwise be abandoned: women’s medical care that affirms their dignity and embraces life.

Rak points to the possibility of transforming women’s health care in America. This from a Church, he notes, that often still is painted as anti-women, even as modern popes have stressed the importance of the female perspective. I don’t expect to see it on the cover of a leading women’s glossy anytime soon, but Gianna just may be leading a whole new feminist movement, one, with doctors such as Nolte, in a revived tradition of the sisterhood that built St. Vincent’s in the first place.

JOLIET – The final score says Providence 54, Lockport 41.

If that’s all the information you had, you might assume the Celtics dominated. That was hardly the case.

Providence (1-1) outscored Lockport (0-2), 13-0, in the second overtime Wednesday night to secure a wild victory in the second round of pool play at the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic at the University of St. Francis.

“It’s always a war, you can count on it, when Providence and Lockport play,” Celtics coach Tim Trendel said. “You better come ready to play.”

Lockport was as close to winning as a missed 3-point shot from the top of the key at the buzzer that ended the first overtime.

In the second overtime, Providence’s Tyler Pygon got things rolling with a 3-pointer, and the Celtics scored the final 10 points from the free throw line.

Jake Shutter made four of those foul shots and was 6-for6 from the line.

The game went back and forth. Lockport led early, 124; Providence was up, 37-25, after three quarters; and the Porters outscored the Celtics, 14-2, in the fourth quarter to force the first overtime.

The big scorers for both sides each had a basket in the first overtime.

Lockport’s Ralph Blakney scored the last of his 23 points on a layup, and lanky forward Jack Brody soared to tap in a rebound for Providence. He finished with 20 points including a one-handed rebound dunk.

Troy Howat added 13, 11

IHSA CLASS 7A FOOTBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW

Providence O-line hopes to help end title drought

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – When thinking about key players who’ve helped Providence’s offense rank among its top-five scoring averages in program history, names such as Justin Hunniford, Miles Boykin, Nate Vejvoda, Mike Markasovic and Richie Warfield come to mind.

But if it hadn’t been for the development along the offensive line of players such as Joe Zemen, Tom Younker, Travis Woerner, Mike Szot, Nick Barker and Justin Balog, it’s a good bet the high-scoring Celtics attack would not be nearly as proficient has it has been this year.

And although the guys on the O-line know they don’t receive much publicity, they feel they’re one reason why Providence is back in the state finals for the first time since 2009 and pursuing the program’s 10th state title, including its first in 10 years.

Coach Mark Coglianese’s 12-1 Celtics have averaged 37 points per game as they get ready for Saturday’s 4 p.m.

IHSA Class 7A championship against unbeaten Cary-Grove at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium in Champaign. Providence, which owns a seven-game winning streak, has scored 40 or more points in seven contests this season.

“This is definitely one of the hardest-working groups of people I’ve ever been around, and it’s a great group of guys and I wouldn’t want to go out there with anyone else,” senior center Zemen said. “This is a huge opportunity for us to bring home our 10th state title, and it’s testimony to the work that we’ve put in over the past few years and to the character of the guys on this team. I’d like to give a shout-out to Edgy Tim, who said before the season that the biggest question for us was the offensive line – so I believe we’ve turned some heads.”

There’s no greater motivator for a group of guys than to be cited as one of a team’s areas of concerns. So the players along the offensive line have been determined to only get better, and they’ve done that

Providence plays Cary-Grove in Saturday’s IHSA Class 7A title game. in part by going up against the Celtics defensive front in practice.

“Coming into this season, the biggest question was our O-line, and I think that we’ve done nothing but prove each week that we’re getting better and better,” senior right tackle Szot said. “We go against the best defense in the state every day in practice. Going against guys like Luis Vasquez, Jake Rost, Tyler Schiemann and Brendan Treacy has helped a lot. Playing in a state championship in your senior season is a pretty good way to go out, and we’re pretty confident about the game. Getting that 10th championship would mean a lot.”

As the year has progressed, the Celtics have emerged not only as one of the top teams in their class but also in the state. They were ranked seventh in the preseason in Class 7A behind the likes of Mount Carmel, St. Rita and Wheaton Warrenville South, all of

whom they beat.

“It’s really amazing what this team has done this year,” senior right guard Balog said.

“A lot of people weren’t expecting much of us as a team, but what we’ve accomplished by winning the (Chicago Catholic League) Blue and beating St. Rita and Mount Carmel twice and also winning against Joliet Catholic has been amazing.

But we have one more step to bring home the 10th state

championship, which would put us in that special group with Joliet Catholic and Mount Carmel with 10 or more state championships, and that says a lot.”

The emergence of a strong offensive line is a tribute to the efforts of line coach Tom Lenahan, a 1999 Providence graduate who knows how it feels to win a title as a player. He hopes his group also can experience that, if the Celtics win their first title since 2004.

“Coming into the summer, things were shaky and no one really knew what was going on for the O-line,” junior left guard Younker said. “We switched people in and out, and we all played a different position than we did in the summer. I think coach Tom was worried at first, but we’ve all been working hard. Ever since we’ve come to Providence, a big thing for us is ‘the quest for X,’ to get our 10th state championship. Two of our goals were to win the CCL Blue and state;

so we’ve accomplished one, and the next is at hand this weekend.”

Providence won seven titles and placed second twice between 1994 and 2004, but it has only been back to the finals once since then, in 2009, when Cary-Grove beat it, 34-17, to capture its only title. The Celtics hope they can avenge that loss from five years ago.

“At the beginning of the year, we didn’t talk much to each other, but then we started lifting and hanging out after practice and started to get to know each other; and I think that helped us to learn our strengths and weaknesses and also build a better bond,” junior right guard Woerner said.

“Beating St. Rita and Mount Carmel twice definitely proved that we’ve put in the work going for the 10th state championship. Winning this state championship means a lot to this program. We lost in 2009 to Cary-Grove, so I think that this is our redemption.”

There is no denying CaryGrove (13-0) has enjoyed an outstanding football season.

The option offense the Trojans run has devastated one opponent after another. Defensively, an athletic secondary has intercepted 24 passes, nearly two a game.

However, the Trojans will face a whole different challenge at 4 p.m. Saturday when they take on Providence (12-1) in the IHSA Class 7A state championship game at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

The Celtics have been a machine with a passing offense that features two Division I receivers, 6-foot4 Miles Boykin and 6-foot-5 Nate Vejvoda. Boykin will play at Notre Dame and Vejvoda at Iowa. Quarterback Justin Hunniford also will have 6-foot-3 Matt MacNab and 6-foot-1 Mike Markasovic as targets, and he will use them all.

The reason for mentioning the height of the Celtics’ receivers is that the coverage unit they will be going against from Cary-Grove, the guys who have most of those 24 interceptions, are 5-foot-6, 5-foot-7, 5-foot-8, 5-foot-9 and 6-foot-0.

Joliet Catholic defended Providence better than most this season. Here’s what Hilltoppers defensive coordinator Jake Jaworski said after the 21-10 Celtics’ victory: “The big problem with Providence is they have two of those guys [Boykin and Vejvoda]. You can’t really defend that kind of size. Even on the NFL level, you see the Bears throw to Brandon Marshall and he’ll block out a defender. That’s what those two guys do to you.

“Boykin is so strong, too.

One of our safeties hit him and it was like he hit a tree trunk or a train. He has the size, speed and hands.

We’ve faced some good ones through the years, but he is the total package. He’s pretty special.”

The Celtics breathed a

not going to be denied.

“This class is unique,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “They do it in a different way from what past teams have done here.

Everyone has bought into a common goal.”

Whatever the driving force, I look for the Celtics to pick up their 10th state championship Saturday. It’s been 10 years since their last one and five years since they last were to a title game.

As Hunniford said, there is some symmetry at work.

Perhaps it is not all coincidence that this is the year.

“I think winning the state championship last spring in baseball gave Justin and the team some confidence,” Coglianese said. “That team came out of nowhere to win Shaw Media file photo it. I think the guys thought, Providence Celtics head coach Mark Coglianese speaks to the team after beating the Quincy Blue Devils ‘If they can do it, why not us?’”

He missed the quarterfinal against Wheaton Warrenville South because of a dislocated left pinkie finger, which required an operation to correct.

It’s not as if Providence can’t run the ball, either.

Sophomore tailback Richie Warfield has been coming on as the season progressed.

On the other side of the ball, as noted, Cary-Grove’s option offense has produced all season.

However, Providence has played well defensively, especially against running offenses. Jake Rost and Luis Vasquez in the defensive line – along with inside linebackers Jimmy Sharkey and Brendan O’Hara and outside linebackers Emmet Trost and Dan Miller – will be ready.

offensive underachievers, the defense has carried them all season.

The Lions’ defense is third in the NFL in total defense, first against the run and 10th against the pass; and no team in the league has allowed fewer points than the 17.3 a game Detroit gives up.

As you’d expect, it all starts up front where Ndamukong Suh is in a contract year and having an All Pro season, and linebacker DeAndre Levy is certain to start at that spot for the NFC in the Pro Bowl.

Last year’s first-round choice, the fifth player taken overall – Ziggy Ansah – is developing and flashing at right end. But other than that, this unit is not who you think they are.

Jason Jones, who spent last year on injured reserve, starts at left end; and rookie Caraun Reid has been starting ahead of Nick Fairley.

Individually they’re not all that impressive, but as a unit they’ve been outstanding.

The Bears on the hot seat Thursday will by Jay Cutler, who must protect the football and be prepared for pressure in his face all day; Kyle Long, matched up with Suh a good part of the day; and Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Tim Jennings and Kyle Fuller (if he’s able to go) who will have to make sure Marshall and Jeffery out-produce Johnson and Tate if the Bears are to win.

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Considering his line of work, Willie Young Jr. quickly grew frustrated last year when it came to not being able to finish his job.

In practice at least.

On a daily basis, the defensive end – then with the Detroit Lions – would set his sights on quarterback Matthew Stafford and rev up his engine, only to be stopped before reaching his intended target.

“You practice against this guy all week, day-after-day – this is when I was in Detroit – and obviously quarterbacks are untouchable,” Young said this week.

“You can’t touch the quarterback today. No, don’t touch him. That’s too close.

Get away from him.

“Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about that stuff on Thursday.”

Young will get his first crack at his former teammates when the Bears face the Lions for the first time this season Thursday at Ford Field. Coming off a performance against the Buccaneers in which Mel Tucker’s defense was able to rattle Bucs quarterback Josh McCown, the Bears are hoping against a repeat performance against Stafford.

Stafford already has been sacked 33 times this year – three shy of the career-high 36 times he was taken down

in 2011. The Patriots were able to get to Stafford twice last week after the Cardinals got to him four times in Week 11.

Young, whose eight sacks lead the team, is eager to continue that trend while the Bears hope to stifle a Lions offense that has gone two straight weeks without scoring a touchdown.

“There will be a lot of flying around and teeing off on guys and guys taking shots,” Young said. “This is a big game for both of us.”

Young remains close with many of his former teammates in Detroit but is looking forward to getting after them Thursday.

Meanwhile, first-year Lions coach Jim Caldwell knows that if anyone is going to be amped up Thursday, it will be Young, who is looking to make a strong impression.

“Willie looks like he’s a very effective pass rusher,” Caldwell told reporters in Detroit this week. “They use him both inside and out, they’ll use him with some games that he’s very efficient at, but also you can see where he’s athletic enough to be dropped into space and cover. So he’s been good for them.”

If anyone has a pulse on how the Lions offense works, it’s Young. He’s well aware of what Stafford can do given the offensive talent he has around him with Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate and others.

• Thursday, November 27, 2014

So the 5-6 Chicago Bears roll into Motown for their Thanksgiving Day meeting with the 7-4 Detroit Lions on a two-game win streak while the Lions have dropped their last two.

There is that.

The good news for the most part stops there. This is a different Lions football team under first-year head coach Jim Caldwell than the Jim Schwartz clubs Bears fans became used to in recent seasons.

You like common opponents? The Lions are 5-3 against the Panthers, Packers, Jets, Bills, Vikings, Falcons, Dolphins and Patriots, against whom the Bears are 3-6. They beat the Packers, 24-7; Green Bay has outscored the Bears 9331 in the Bears’ two losses.

The 34-9 beating the Lions took from New England last Sunday after the Pats pasted the Bears 51-23 four weeks ago is about the only thing these two have in common this year.

Detroit certainly is not unbeatable, though, and while one would think they’d have an extra home-field advantage on Thanksgiving Day, their victory over the Packers – who were without Aaron Rodgers last year – snapped a ninegame Lions Thanksgiving Day losing streak.

If the Bears are to pull off the upset Thursday, they almost certainly will have to do it with defense and special teams, because Detroit’s

defense has been dominant for most of this season.

The Lions’ offense is vulnerable. Detroit, however, ranks 21st in total offense and just 30th in rushing; and only the Jaguars, Raiders, Jets and Titans have scored fewer points than the Lions’ 17.8 points a game.

The Lions’ biggest problem has been the gimpy knee of Calvin Johnson, who’s missed three games completely and has just 38 receptions for 578 yards (15.2-yard average), and three TDs. Golden Tate, who was signed away from the Seahawks in free agency to complement Johnson, has been outstanding with 72 receptions for 1,047 yards (14.5-yard average) and three TDs. But without Johnson, the Lions aren’t very good in the red zone.

In addition to a healthy Johnson, the Lions also expected more of this year’s firstround draft choice, Eric Ebron, but the big tight end has been nicked up and slow to adjust to the NFL game.

Reggie Bush also has been gimpy; and while he still is listed as the No. 1 running back, Joique Bell has almost three times as many carries.

And neither has been effective, averaging just 3.5 and 3.6 yards, respectively; and Bell has just three touchdowns and Bush only one.

As a result of all the mediocre performances around him, Matt Stafford has struggled with just 13 TD passes on the season against 10 costly interceptions.

Fortunately for all these

Rabbi from Joliet Jewish Congregation discusses ‘giving thanks’ from a Jewish perspective

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Do Jews celebrate Thanksgiving?

That was the title of a discussion hosted Nov. 23 by Charles Rubovits, rabbi at Joliet Jewish Congregation.

Rubovits talked about the concept of Thanksgiving as a national holiday, as well as the Jewish tendency to “step up to the dinner plate” (especially the family dinner plate) for celebrations.

The short answer, Rubovits said, is yes. Jews living in the United States are American, so just as they would celebrate Fourth of the July and Lincoln’s birthday, Jews celebrate Thanksgiving.

“Now, as to what’s in a Jewish Thanksgiving meal,” Rubovits said, “that’s where the rules of kosher cooking come into play.”

At first glance, a Jewish Thanksgiving feast resembles a typical Thanksgiving feast, Rubovits said, with a couple exceptions. First, the turkey will have been slaughtered in a manner consistent with Jewish laws and regulations, to cause the bird as little pain as possible.

Second, kosher law states that Jews may not cook and/ or eat meat and milk together.

So the bird will not be basted in butter. No cream, butter, milk or cheese will be used in cooking or when serving the meal, Rubovits said.

Margarine will be specially prepared kosher margarine, such as Fleischmann’s green label, Rubovits said.

Cooking that way is not challenging, he added, as recipes are available for dairy-free pumpkin pie, and non-dairy whipped cream is commer-

and even grapes, although they grow on vines, Rubovits said.

Passover, Rubovits said, is a separate issue, with a specific menu and prescribed readings that can stretch the meal into three hours. But the point Rubovits said he is making by mentioning these other holidays is that they are intended to be shared by families and at mealtime, just like Thanksgiving in the United States.

“The dinner table is the central focus of family life – it’s not the TV set, and it’s not the computer – whether it seats four or 40,” Rubovits said.

During holy days and celebratory days, Rubovits said, Jewish families do little extras to make them special.

PLAINFIELD – More than 1,000 St. Mary Immaculate Parish parishioners and friends volunteered Oct. 18 for SMI’s third annual “Make a Difference Day.” People of all ages worked on more than 60 faith and service projects at the parish in the local Plainfield community and in Joliet, Aurora, Geneva and even the north side of Chicago.

The day began with Mass and a blessing of the volunteers. Projects included everything from quiet projects of prayer to strenuous projects of manual labor.

Dozens of people prayed at Eucharistic Adoration in the Parish Church all morning, while others participated in a Spanish Rosary.

Outdoor projects spruced up the grounds at the parish and school, homes in the parish’s immediate neighborhood, at the Mantellate Sisters Convent and more than a dozen other community homes where help was requested.

Inside the Parish Center, groups made mats for the homeless from recycled plastic bags. Others beaded rosaries to be given away by the Legion of Mary. More than 70 people came to the blood drive sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and conducted by Heartland Blood Center. The St. Anne’s Sewing Circle accepted clothing items all day for free mending and hemming services.

Out in the community, hundreds

of people collectively provided service at Feed My Starving Children, Northern Illinois Food Bank, Misericordia Home, Joliet Township Animal Control, Plainfield Park District’s Ottawa Street Pool, and Ready Set Ride Therapeutic Recreation Facility.

Others visited six area nursing homes to participate in various activities such as bingo, crafts or manicures with the residents. One group went to a nearby neighborhood and invited residents to the parish.

A few teams collected food for the Plainfield Interfaith Food Pantry.

Hundreds of items were collected on behalf of 15 area organizations or ministries, including Guardian Angel Home, Women’s Choice Services and Catholic Charities.

All volunteers were invited to a free lunch, prepared and served

by Boy Scout Troop 19 with more than 50 Scouts, parents and leaders.

About 600 people enjoyed the meal of chili and cornbread in the St. Mary Immaculate Gym, which had been decorated by a group of parish Girl Scouts and their families. The day concluded with Mass celebrated by the Rev. David Medow.

Parish representatives expressed deep gratitude to the many hundreds of volunteers who truly did “Make a Difference” by bringing the infinite love of Jesus to others.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Much more bridge from down under

CELEBRITY CIPHER

The second magazine that has gone Internet-only this year is New Zealand Bridge. It is now an even more appealing – and much bigger – publication that is free!

Check it out at nzcba.co.nz.

Here is a good defensive problem from the August edition.

Look at the North and East hands. Defending against four spades, your partner (West) leads the heart ace, cashes the heart king, and shifts to the club seven. What would you (East) do when declarer calls for dummy’s queen? Would you find a different defense if South plays dummy’s 10?

This deal occurred 20 years ago and features some old-fashioned bidding. South’s three clubs was the Baron convention, asking partner to show four-card suits in ascending order – hence North’s three diamonds. But this had the disadvantage that the weak hand became the declarer.

Sitting East was Michael Prescott, who learned the game in New Zealand but moved to Australia several years ago. He realized that if South had the spade queen, the contract was unbeatable. And if West had queen-third of spades, South had to be kept out of his hand, so that he could not take the trump finesse. Ergo, at trick three, Prescott allowed dummy’s club queen to take the trick. (If declarer had instead played the club 10, East would have won and returned a club.)

South now cashed dummy’s two top trumps to go down, losing one spade, two hearts and one club. Yes, if he had instead cashed three diamond tricks and the club ace, then played another club, he could have endplayed East. But understandably he didn’t.

You have the skills, and now it’s time to utilize them SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be sure to comparison shop before you make a hefty purchase. You can save money if you do your homework.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t

waste your time trying to change other people. Look inward and make personal alterations instead. You’ll be happy with the results you get and the compliments you receive.

Dear Doctor K: I hope you can answer this question once and for all: Are eggs bad for your health or not?

Dear Reader: I don’t think any medical issue is ever settled “once and for all.” New knowledge sometimes modifies or even replaces old knowledge.

This surely has happened with the question of whether eggs are bad for your health.

I was taught, first by my parents and then in medical school, that you should eat eggs infrequently. The reason? A single egg yolk contains a whopping 213 milligrams of cholesterol.

The thinking, then, went that eggs would raise your blood cholesterol levels. That, in turn, would increase your chance of developing atherosclerosis -- cholesterol-filled plaques on the walls of arteries. And that in turn would increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

It seemed reasonable.

So I reserved eggs for Sunday mornings only.

Eggs also contain some heart-healthy substances: protein, vitamins B12 and D, riboflavin, folate, antioxidants and unsaturated fats. But the negative effects of cholesterol were thought to trump the positive effects of these substances.

Then research discovered something unexpected: Saturated fats in your diet raise your blood levels of total cholesterol and “bad” LDL cholesterol a lot more than does cholesterol in your diet.

Why? Because most of the cholesterol in your body does not come from your diet. Rather, it is made by your liver. And saturated fats in your diet cause your liver to make lots of cholesterol. (A large egg contains only about 1.5 grams of saturated fat.)

The next discovery came from large observa-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tional studies, many conducted here at Harvard Medical School. Hundreds of thousands of people in these studies have been followed for decades.

What they eat, and the diseases they develop, are carefully recorded.

These studies show that the average healthy person suffers no negative health effects from eating an egg a day. In particular, the studies did not find a greater risk of heart attacks or strokes in people who ate an egg a day.

Plus, some, but not all, studies have shown that eating eggs regularly increases “good” HDL cholesterol and decreases triglycerides.

However, the studies did find some evidence that people with diabetes or people who already have heart disease probably should eat no more than three egg yolks per week. (Eating just the whites is fine.)

Be sure to cook the eggs until both the whites and the yolks are firm; undercooked eggs can transmit a bacterial infection called salmonella.

Finally, my colleagues in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard’s School of Public Health point out that what you eat with your eggs is an important consideration.

They remind us that eggs with salsa and a wholewheat English muffin are a far different meal than eggs with cheese, sausages, home fries and white toast. It’s one of those obvious pieces of advice that’s easy to forget as you make, or order, breakfast.

Real Life Adventures

Dear Hurt Traveler: When people persist in doing – or saying – something after being told it’s hurtful, one has to wonder if it’s not about humor at all. I suspect that your sister and her husband are somewhat jealous over the friendships you have and the adventures you are enjoying.

You might be subjected to this less if you become more close-mouthed about what you’re doing and where you’re going.

Give it a try. But if the “teasing” continues, tell “Sissy” she’s going to be seeing a lot less of you and then follow through.

Dear Abby: I’ve been with my second husband for almost five years, married for two. After a year, we became more like roommates than spouses.

At one point I caught him kissing a mutual friend in our bathroom.

When I confronted them, they assured me it was innocent. Her husband has now confirmed his suspicions with me that something was going on, but there was never any solid proof.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips My husband enjoys my company, but the lack of affection and my continued suspicion are affecting my self-esteem.

The other day I asked him why he married me, and he answered because I was “nice.” He refuses to go to counseling and said he doesn’t want a divorce.

I feel like an idiot, but I just don’t want to leave.

What is wrong with me?

What should I do? – In

Limbo in Washington

Dear In Limbo: You will find the answers you need as soon as you decide that, regardless of whether your husband is willing to go to counseling, it’s time for you to go.

Having already caught him in a compromising position, you have every right to be suspicious.

There’s nothing wrong with you – except perhaps that you are TOO “nice.”

You are going to have to decide if living like brother and sister is an arrangement you are willing to live with forever because the relationship you have described isn’t a normal marriage, and the longer it continues, the worse you will feel about yourself.

Dear Abby: I would like to know why people say, “Oh, you have a new hairdo,” and then never say if it is good or bad.

Or, “You have new curtains or new flooring,” and then never say another word. Why do they just say nothing? – Curious in

Colorado

Dear Curious: Perhaps because people often notice change before making up their minds whether they think it’s positive or negative, and they are speaking to you without a filter.

• Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Abby: I am a single woman who raised three kids on one average income.

They are all grown and on their own now. I still save and have a tight budget, but now I can spend some money on travel. I have opportunities to travel with friends and do it as often as I can afford.

The problem is my brother-in-law and sister love to tease, and they tell everyone that I’m “the rich sister.” Abby, I am far from rich. I have asked them both to stop and told them their teasing hurts my feelings – that I simply choose to spend my money differently than they do.

Our relationship has now become very strained.

I have only one sister and would like to be close to her, but I can’t laugh off their teasing any longer. –
