New children’s program allows kids play time

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Toddlers and preschool-age children ages 1 through 5 can get their wiggles on at the Morris Area Public Library with a new program: Wiggle Worm Wednesdays.

For two hours each week, the library’s carpeted basement auditorium is transformed into a large play space for what Children’s Librarian Carol Hutchings said is fun, unstructured play.

Parents or caregivers must remain with their children during the 11:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. play period time slot.

There is a library staff member present, as well.

“It’s a nice interaction with other kids,” said Morrisparent Teresa Henson, who brought her 2-year-old Danny. “It’s great just to get out and burn up some energy. If the weather’s decent, we usually go outside and play in the snow, but here, there are a lot of things they can play with and other kids.”

Henson has brought Danny to both of the Wiggle Worm Wednesdays held so far and said she has even seen a creative side of him that she doesn’t often see. This week, he constructed a wooden model.

“If I had not taken him the

Stadium group and city discuss moving bandshell to high school

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The group looking to raise money for a new high school stadium is working with the city of Morris to possibly incorporate the city’s bandshell at the site.

The Morris Community High School Legacy Foundation recently announced its intentions to set up a nonprofit organization and raise money for a new stadium.

Organizer Mike Feeney has spoken to Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick about incorporating the bandshell the city purchased, but has not built yet, at the south end of the stadium, where the community could benefit from it.

“We’d love to find a home for [the bandshell],” Kopczick said.

“We were moving forward with breaking ground in Goold Park this spring, but I’m willing to

take it to the Parks and Annexation Committee to see if they’d be interested in having it built at the school.”

Kopczick said the city has faced controversy over where to place the bandshell, which it bought in 2009 for $109,000. This could be the answer it is looking for, he said.

Residents and aldermen expressed concern with Goold Park previously, due to noise and parking concerns.

Morris Community High School Superintendent Pat Halloran said the school received a lot of feedback after plans were released for the stadium project. Based on that, the school has looked at adding a regulation eight-lane, all-weather track so it could host track meets.

The bandshell is another project that has come out of the discussions.

“I can see a huge communi-

ty benefit to adding the bandshell here,” Halloran said. “It will also help further build community partnerships.”

Kopczick said one benefit to the stadium location is that the area is fenced in, allowing for ticket sales for some events, while also allowing for free events.

The mayor will take the idea to the City Council’s Parks and Annexation Committee for discussion. If it decides the high school is a good location, he is willing to hold off on construction.

However, if the committee wants to build it in Goold Park, where the bandshell was originally planned, the city would break ground this year.

If the committee approves the move, the suggestion will go in front of the full Morris City Council for approval and an intergovernmental agreement could be developed.

Solution to fuller, thicker lashes found in Latisse SPONSORED BY

Want your lashes to look thicker and fuller lashes but mascara just isn’t cutting it?

Consider using the FDA-approved prescription treatment for hypotrichosis--inadequate or not enough lashes--called Latisse.

Using it is as simple as once a day putting a drop of the solution on an applicator and running the brush along the lash line from the outer corner to the inner corner, said Kathe Malinowski, lead esthetician and marketing manager for Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center. Each Latisse kit comes with the bottle of solution and applicators. The benefits? “Longer, thicker, fuller and darker lashes,” Malinowski said.

“Who wouldn’t want that? I use it on my brows, also.”

Latisse comes in two sizes. The 3-milliliter bottle lasts around six weeks and the 5-milliliter bottle about 10 weeks. “Full treatment is 16 weeks,” Malinowski said.

“Most people see results within eight weeks in length.

As you continue to use it you get thicker lashes.”

What about side effects?

“The only side effect of Latisse is you love it,” Malinowski said.Clients who want to maintain their length and fullness need to continue to use Latisse at least three or four times a week.

Mascara can be worn over Latisse.

The eyelash-enhancing solution has been on the market for about four years. It gets rave reviews from Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center clients. “Clients love it,” Malinowski said. “Once you see the result you’re hooked.

We constantly sell this product.”

She said eyelashes, just like hair and eyebrows, tend to thin out. “But Latisse isn’t just for older patients,” she said. “We have clients of all ages who use Latisse.” Want to know if Latisse will work for you? Book a consultation with a Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center doctor.

cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Preliminary work continues at the Morris Municipal Airport in preparations for its runway extension.

The Morris City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved contracting with Homer Tree Service for removal of 18 trees on airport property for $5,400. Airport liability insurance also was bought from Global Aerospace for just less than $13,800, the lowest bid.

The city plans to extend its north-south runway and taxiway to the north by 500 feet, making it 5,500 feet, to accommodate larger aircraft. Precision lights to make landings easier also is planned. After the north-south runway is extended, the project includes widening the runway from 75 to 100 feet and overlaying it with more asphalt to accommodate heavier aircraft.

The runway extension is the first of many improvement projects scheduled in the next five years aimed at making the airport more compatible for corporate jets.

The tree removal approved Tuesday will clear more space for the required runway protection zone, which is a larger area required with the increased length in the future runway, Mayor Richard Kopczick said Wednesday.

“We’re going to an instrument approach and a larger runway, and the trees pierce the approach pattern,” he continued.

More than 30 trees already been have removed; Tuesday’s action by the council approved working with Homer Tree Service to remove 18 more.

“We’re happy to have Whitman Road done and the new bridge,” Alderman Julian Houston, chairman of the Airport Committee, said Wednesday.

As part of this project, the city had to obtain numerous parcels of land to accommodate the expansion. Whitman Road had to extended west of Ashley Road with a bridge and roadway, to provide residences on that road new access since the airport work no longer allows them direct access to Route 47.

Construction on the runway extension is expected to begin once the weather warms up, Houston said.

A preconstruction meeting is scheduled for March 3 for the project, Kopczick said. The runway extension will be completed first and then officials will discuss whether the city should move forward with purchasing property for the future eastwest runway or begin the widening and overlaying portion of the first runway project.

“If we do the widening and overlaying first, the airport has to be shut down for about a year,” Kopczick said.

“If we do the crosswind runway [east-west runway], it will stay open,” he said, “and then we can do the widening and overlay project and stay open because general aviation can use the east-west runway temporarily.”

The Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics has to work with the Morris Airport on this decision.

“The airport is really in great shape and moving along really well,” Houston said.

MORRIS – Insufficient financial oversight has caused the county’s audit to contain deficiencies and weakness in the Grundy County 2014 audit.

The audit was presented last week to the Grundy County Board by Tawnya Mack with Mack & Associates CPA. Mack and Associates found the county had two significant deficiencies and two material weaknesses, a slight improvement over last year’s audit, which found three significant deficiencies and two material weaknesses.

“It’s the same generalized findings as last year,” Mack said. “They are a little different, and they have improved.”

Mack said material weaknesses are generally worse than deficiencies, but both show a lack of control of finances.

The county has had issues for the past four years and Mack said she believes it’s gotten to this point because of lack of oversight.

The repeated changing of administrators has more than likely contributed, she said.

Finance Committee Chairman John Galloway said the findings are addressable by hiring the right administration.

“We’ve hired a new fulltime HR director and with the hiring of a new administrator we will be able to address these issues,” Galloway said.

The material weaknesses listed include an inadequate control environment, financial oversight and significant audit adjustments.

To address the inadequate control environment, the audit recommends the county designate an official or member of management to be responsible for the county’s system of internal control and financial reporting.

The significant deficiencies were for financial state-

ment preparation and inadequate segregation of duties.

The audit recommends the county implement an internal control procedure related to preparation and review of financial statements. It suggests personnel should designate a qualified individual to prepare statements.

“When there is inadequate segregation of duties caused by limited availability of personnel, management’s close supervision and review of accounting information is the best means of preventing or detecting errors and irregularities,” according to the audit.

Galloway said the county will place the audit issues on the finance agenda and keep them there until everything is addressed.

• WIGGLE Continued from page 3 after storytime to Storytime Leader Karen Breunig.

Breunig said the library bought $600 worth of larger toys, such as a soft block slide, push scooters, wagons, blocks, pull toys and shape sorters.

Others were donated.

“I don’t think there’s an area quite like this in Morris,” she said.

“The equipment is all age-appropriate,” librarian Ramona Morrison said. “Kids can come to get their wiggles out during the winter and burn off extra

energy.”

Sherry Miller of Morris brought her granddaughter Riley, 5, for the first time this week. Wednesdays are usually library days anyway, Miller said. Their schedule usually takes them from preschool to the library to play with the train set and pick up a few books.

Miller said it’s nice they now have this option, as well.

“I think it’s great for socializing, especially during the winter,” Miller said.

Riley was having fun riding around on a trike and picking up balls off the floor and giving them to others. Miller was

sitting in a chair supervising while crocheting a baby blanket for Riley’s little sister, expected to arrive in April.

Ali Dillard of Morris brought her 3-year-old son Wyatt and his friend Sadie Valentine, 4, for their second Wiggle Worm Wednesday.

“It gives them the opportunity to play with other kids,” she said, “and it gets them out of the house.”

Tia Featherston of Morris didn’t even know about the program when she brought her kids Lily, 1, and Marley, 5.

OPINION OUR VIEW

Keep costs affordable at state universities Economics might finally be catching up with colleges in Illinois and across the country, as administrators face the reality that student tuition can not continue to relentlessly increase year after year.

The Board of Trustees at Eastern Illinois University voted in 2013 to keep tuition for this year’s incoming freshman class flat, for example.

Last week, the Board of Trustees for the University of Illinois system took a similar step, voting to hold the line on base tuition for in-state residents.

For the U of I, it’s the first time since 1990 tuition has not increased from the previous year.

The vote means Illinois residents who enroll at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the fall will pay base tuition of $12,036 for that school year and each of the next three years until they graduate. (The base tuition in 1990: $2,130.)

The cost of on-campus housing will rise 1.5 percent, however, and four years at Illinois will cost more than $100,000.

Still, the tuition freeze is at least a step in the right direction, and one that we encourage other university boards to emulate.

Tuition has increased 71 percent at Illinois’ Chicago and Urbana-Champaign campuses since 2005, and university officials are growing concerned students are seeking out lower-cost alternatives, which is exactly what the market would dictate they do.

University officials are not solely to blame for the ever-escalating cost of a college education: State government support for higher learning has been in steady decline. A recent report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office found U.S. state universities in 2012 were receiving more of their funding from student tuition (25 percent) than from their state’s government (23 percent).

In 2003, state funding made up 32 percent of university budgets; tuition accounted for 17 percent.

The state’s “Truth In Tuition” law also is to blame in part for the escalating tuition costs. It freezes tuition at the same level for all four years a student attends a public in-state university. The goal is to make students’ budgets predictable, but it also has the effect of heaping a greater share of the burden onto each incoming class, rather than spreading it equally among all students.

This law, passed before the state’s financial condition was the disaster it is today, is causing more hardship than it avoids.

Universities face more potential competition from community colleges.

It is time for university leaders to focus on how they can operate within the budgets they have. If they want to reverse trends of dropping or stagnant enrollment, one important step will be to stop continually increasing the price of admission.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Suicide is never painless “I don’t believe in exploiting vulnerable people at their weakest moments and pushing them to choose death.”

Tom Mortier is not having an academic discussion. He is talking about his mother.

The assisted suicide movement uses words like “mercy” and “dignity.” But that’s a lie that takes away from us the most precious gift we have: life.

With a cloud of darkness plaguing her, Godelieva De Troyer, Mortier’s mother, believed the lie. “She was influenced by the ideology of the doctor who had no interest in helping a very sad woman and who believed that killing her was the only ‘cure’ for her grief,” Mortier tells me.

His mother was killed and heavily influenced by oncologist Wim Distelmans, a euthanasia activist, in Belgium in 2012, Mortier explains. Distelmans is so popular that Mortier found a brochure about one of his events in the backpack of his 8-year-old daughter.

“Distelmans is a little bit like a rock star in Flanders,” and his mother, Mortier says, came to “adore” him. “She became trapped in this cultish ideology of ‘absolute free choice,’ ” he says.

Euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide, he says, is a “Pandora’s

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez box.” “When you kill a vulnerable person with depression, what’s next? Who’s next? You only need to find a doctor who wants to kill, and he’ll do it. And why is a doctor more morally privileged to kill than anyone else? People need care and attention from doctors, not to be poisoned to death.”

In recent days, in People magazine, the widower of Brittany Maynard, who legally ended her life with the assistance of an Oregon doctor after being diagnosed with brain cancer, has been talking about the “suffering and torment” that was lifted “the day she died,” surrounded by a “ring of love.”

That ring included a lobbyist. The family’s lives, even in death, have been co-opted by politics.

The advocacy group Compassion and Choices, which has pounced on Maynard’s story, describes her as a “game-changing advocate.” Thirteen states and the District of Columbia currently are considering following Oregon’s example and legalizing medically assisted suicide.

Lizz Lovett is a “sister, wife,

mom of four” with advanced incurable kidney cancer. “I live in Oregon, where it would be legal for me to end my life, but I can’t do that,” she says in an online video produced by the website, RealCatholic.com. “The moment we label suicide an act of dignity, we imply that people like me are undignified for not ending my life,” she warns, “or worse: a costly burden for society.

“What a lonely, uncharitable and fake world we live in if we think it is somehow undignified to let people see us suffer – to love us and care for us to the end,” she says. “Cancer may take my life, but I’m going to live until I die.

That’s dignity.”

A story’s end changes the meaning of every page, Lovett said, adding: “My life isn’t mine to take, it’s mine to give. Love is dignity. I’m facing death with dignity.”

How will our story end? Do we choose life or surrender to a culture of death?

Patterson scores 1,000th point as Redskins fall to Cavaliers

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – With only 19 seconds gone in the second half Tuesday night, Morris senior guard senior Austin Patterson, as he has so many times before, launched a 3-pointer.

Even though the shot went in, as many have before, this one was different. This shot put Patterson in a select group of players that, since 2005, had consisted of only two members. With the 3-pointer, Patterson joined Kjeld Torkelson and Kevin Henry as 1,000-point career scorers in that time frame.

The shot also pulled Morris to within a point of LaSalle-Peru at 30-29, quite an accomplishment in itself as the Cavailers held a 20-9 lead near the end of the first quarter. Unfortunately for the Redskins, it was as close as they could get as L-P came away with a 57-52 Northern Illinois Big 12 victory.

“It will be nice to just relax and play without thinking about it [the 1,000th point],” Patterson said. “Even though we lost tonight, we have to keep looking forward and keep grinding on.”

Patterson led the Redskins (12-6, 3-3) with 17 points, while Jake Walker scored 16. Evan Bjelland scored eight points, Griffin Sobol seven and Jake Jurasits four. Jurasits led the team with seven rebounds, with Bjellan adding six and Sobol five.

“It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t celebrate Austin’s accomplishment with a win,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We’ve been shooting very well lately, but we have to figure out how to win when we shoot poorly. We didn’t defend well enough to win tonight.”

LaSalle-Peru was hot from the field early, racing out to an 8-0 lead that eventually grew to 20-9 before Morris got 3-pointers from Patterson and Bjelland to close to within 20-15 at the end of the first quarter.

Kobey Fusinetti was the main culprit for the Cavailiers, going 5 for 5 from the field, including 3 of 3 from 3-point range, for 13 points in the first quarter alone. He finished

with a game-high 22 points.

The Cavaliers went on a 6-2 spurt to start the second quarter and took a 26-17 lead before Bjelland and Patterson hit back-to-back 3-pointers for the Redskins, cutting the advantage to 26-23. A basket by Brady Huebbe (14 points) and Isaiah Tubbs (five points) put L-P ahead, 30-23, before Patterson hit a 3-pointer just before halftime to make the score 3026 at intermission.

“We abandoned some team defense principles, and relied on reaching instead,” Blumberg said. “That got L-P into the bonus quicker than we wanted them to be.

“The biggest thing was that we were not defending to create stops. We were just kind of hoping they would take shots and miss. We didn’t have many hands in the passing lanes and we weren’t able to take much

away from them.”

After Patterson’s 3-pointer to start the second half, Huebbe and Patterson traded baskets to make it, 32-31. L-P then got three-pointers from Huebbe and Fusinetti to pull ahead, 38-31, and, after a free throw by Sobol, Fusinetti hit from three again to make it, 41-32. Morris, however, got an old-fashioned three-point play by Walker and a pair of free throws by Sobol to close to within 41-37 entering the fourth.

With 2:51 remaining in the game, Patterson hit a 3-pointer to pull the Redskins within 50-48. After Huebbe hit a pair of free throws, Bjelland drove down the lane and made it, 52-50, with 2:17 to play. L-P then hit five free throws before Morris could score again, on a basket by Sobol with 11.1 seconds to play, to provide the final score.

Then, on Wednesday, they defeated Plainfield South, 3,230-3,198 in three games and will bowl six more on Saturday in the Minooka Invitational at Channahon Lanes.

In the course of those games come sore backs, legs, knees, hands and feet. But a balanced team can be the saving grace, and the Redskins (6-2) seem to have that. For most of the year, Taylor War-

Morris’ Jordan Tiritilli rolled a team-high 617 series Wednesday night as Morris defeated Plainfield South at Echos Lane in Morris. wick has been the top scorer for Morris, but on Wednesday, it was Jordan Tiritilli’s turn. With Warwick turning

an uncharacteristic threegame series of 521 (games of 169, 191 and 161), Tiritilli led the way with a 617 (236, 171,

210). Amy Waldron was next with 542 (168, 213, 161), followed by Ann-Marie Hayes with 532 (177, 154, 207), Jessica Winter with 528 (150, 194, 184), Warwick’s 521 and Madison Colasanti with 464 (152, 134, 178).

“You do get sore,” Warwick said. “I didn’t bowl very well today, but the team picked me up. We beat them, and that’s what’s important.

Really, my score doesn’t matter that much to me as long as the team wins.

“We’ve bowled a lot lately, and we will bowl three more games at practice [Thursday] to see who will bowl in the invitational Saturday. But, we love bowling, and that’s why we do it.”

Morris coach Harry Banks liked the results he saw.

“We are getting better,” he said. “The girls have had

a busy week. We didn’t have practice Monday because there was no school and then we had meets on two straight nights. Now we can work on some things in practice Thursday.

“Jordan Tiritilli did a real nice job for us tonight. She had a hand problem at the start of the year, but she’s getting over that and bowling real well. She had a 617 tonight and a 599 the night before. Amy Waldron did a nice job for us tonight, too.”

On Tuesday, the Redskins defeated Rochelle, 3,393-3,060.

Warwick led the way with a 625 series, while Winter rolled 614 and Tiritilli 599. The win gave Morris a 5-0 record in the Northern Illinois Big 12. The JV team also won, 2,231-2,069.

Hayleigh Knott led with a 478 series, while Corrinne Day rolled 422.

H. Rick Bamman – hbammman@chicagofootball.com

Bears coach John Fox addresses the media during his introductory news conference Monday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest. The Bears hired former Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase for the same positon in their organization. ning and he took over as the offensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014 after Mike McCoy moved on to be the head coach of the Chargers.

It is impossible to escape the questions about how much the success of the Broncos’ offense was because of Manning and how much credit should go to Gase, but there is no way to spin Gase’s experience with Manning negatively. Who wouldn’t kill to co-captain an offense with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time?

At the age of 36, Gase and Manning were peers as well as coach and player, and it is reasonable to assume that could bode well if he is asked to mentor Jay Cutler.

Ryan Pace and Fox have been basically silent on the subject of Cutler, but common sense and market conditions suggest Cutler is most likely to be the Bears’ quarterback in 2015.

It is at least possible that Gase will find more common ground with Cutler than any of

his previous coaches have and whatever you think of Cutler, he is not stupid.

The lessons Gase can bring from his time with Manning could prove invaluable in finally turning the game’s highest paid player into a viable field general.

That said, don’t think for a minute Gase was brought to Chicago because of Cutler. He obviously has a strong working rapport with Fox and it’s worth noting his offensive line coach, Dave Magazu, is here

• Thursday, January 22, 2015

The Bears have been on a bit of a roll ever since Black Monday, the day after the 2014 season ended. Now the hits just keep on coming with the news they have hired Adam Gase to be their offensive coordinator.

How often does a team get to hire two of its top candidates for its head-coaching job?

Gase interviewed with the Bears for the top job and was reported to be a strong contender until John Fox became available and eventually accepted the job.

Gase was also a serious contender for the 49ers’ head job and to be able to add him now as Fox’s chief lieutenant on offense continues to add to the all-star-type feeling the Bears’ coaching staff is cultivating.

Gase should come with a bit of a feel for the Bears after spending his first five seasons in the NFL in Detroit as a Lions scouting assistant (2003-04), offensive assistant (2005-06) and quarterbacks coach (2007).

Gase then spent a year in San Francisco as an offensive assistant (2008) before moving to Denver as the wide receivers coach for two seasons (2009-10) before Fox arrived.

In 2011 and ’12, Gase was the quarterbacks coach to both Tim Tebow and Peyton Man-

now as well, which should promise strong cohesion and allow the Bears’ new offensive brain trust to hit the ground running.

Former New England Patriot offensive coordinator and Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis was reported to be the other finalist for the job, and Weis does have some history with Fox on a personal level as well.

It is reasonable to assume that with crusty veterans like Vic Fangio and Ed Donatell taking over the Bears’ defense, and of course the older veteran persona of Fox as well, Gase’s youth and fresh perspectives to help balance this staff worked strongly in his favor in winning out over Weis.

The unknown about Gase is while he was clearly in charge in Denver, with Peyton Manning calling so many of his own plays at the line of scrimmage, it remains to be seen how effective a play-caller he will be.

If Fox believes he can do it, there is no reason for the rest of us to worry for now.

This much is not open to debate. Coming off a Super Bowl appearance in his first year as a coordinator and being a serious contender for head coaching opportunities, Gase gives the Bears a new offensive coordinator whose star is definitely trending up.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

When you need 10, hunt for 10

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Hobart Brown, a former sculptor and founder of Kinetic Sculpture Racing, said, “Money doesn’t always bring happiness. People with 10 million dollars are no happier than people with nine million dollars.”

In bridge, though, declarers with 10 tricks are often much happier than those with nine, especially when the contract is at the four-level.

In this deal, South is in four spades. West leads the heart jack.

Declarer wins with his singleton ace and cashes his spade ace, but East discards a low heart. After that shock, how should declarer continue?

North, although he had a minimum, was right to bump his partner to three spades, especially given his 4-3-3-3 distribution. South was happy to bid game.

Declarer started by counting.

Taking dummy’s high cards into account, his hand had four losers: two diamonds and two clubs. He could see only nine winners: five spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. There were two ways to eliminate a loser and gain a winner: either diamonds would split 3-3 or South could ruff a diamond in the dummy.

Declarer’s drawing one round of trumps was fine. If everyone had followed suit, he would have played three rounds of diamonds. Now, though, he had to worry about getting that fifth trump trick. He needed a heart ruff in his hand. Just in case West had doubletons in each red suit, South carefully played a diamond to dummy’s king and ruffed a heart with his spade seven before continuing with the ace and another diamond.

Now the contract was safe.

Undescended testicle is risk factor for testicular cancer Dear Doctor K: I’m in my 30s.

A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer. What should I know about this cancer? Should I be screened for it?

Dear Reader: Testicular cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both testicles (testes). Nearly all testicular cancers start in germ cells. These are the cells that make sperm.

The testicles are located in the scrotum, behind the penis. In addition to sperm, they produce testosterone and other male hormones. (I’ve put an illustration of the male reproductive system on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Most types of cancer affect older folks. But testicular cancer strikes young men, usually between the ages of 20

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and 35 years.

The biggest risk factor for the disease is an undescended testicle. Before birth, a boy’s testicles develop in the lower abdomen. They travel down into the scrotum during the seventh month of fetal development. A small percentage of boys are born with one testicle that failed to descend into the scrotum. Many descend on their own during infancy.

If not, doctors can perform surgery to fix this problem.

This surgery is usually done before age 2.

The brothers or sons of men with testicular cancer

are at much higher risk for developing it themselves. I strongly advise any first-degree male relative of a patient with testicular cancer to: (1) examine themselves every several months; (2) have their doctor examine them at least every year.

The main symptom of testicular cancer is a gradual enlargement of the testicle. It loses its spongy texture and becomes abnormally firm.

Some men notice a lump or mass in the testicle, which is usually painless. Some men experience a dull ache in the groin or lower abdomen.

Most of the time, men detect the mass or enlargement on their own. Or their sexual partner notices it. Unless you have a first-degree relative with testicular cancer,

regular self-examination is not recommended. Neither is screening by doctors.

Nevertheless, I and many doctors regard examination of the testicles to be an appropriate part of a complete physical examination. At the same time, I have never discovered testicular cancer during a routine examination. The cases I’ve seen have been noticed first by the patients.

Once testicular cancer develops, it is likely to spread within or beyond the testicles if it is not treated.

Treatment depends on a person’s overall health, the type of testicular cancer and its stage. (The stage is a measure of how far the cancer has spread.) If the cancer is caught early, surgery to remove the testicle may be

enough. In other cases, additional treatment with radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be needed.

Today, testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers. But treatment can cause side effects. Fertility is a common concern, because radiation therapy and chemotherapy can damage sperm.

For this reason, men who undergo intensive therapy can store their sperm in a sperm bank before the treatment begins. In this way, they can father children in the future. Fortunately, nearly all survivors keep normal sexual function.
