Coal City, Grundy police to provide security, direction at Exelon property Deputies from Grundy began on Monday; other agencies help fill in

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – The Coal City Village Board has unanimously approved an agreement to provide a special police detail to Exelon Generation Company LLC at its Dresden plant during the annual turnaround.

Exelon approached the Police Department to provide four hours of service a day from Oct. 26 to Nov. 13 to safeguard the parking lots associated with the Dresden station.

Village Attorney Mark Heinle said there was some language in the original contract that required cleaning up at the request of Exelon so the contract wasn’t ready

in time for the initial Oct. 26 start date.

Coal City Police Chief Tom Best was at a conference and did not attend the Monday night meeting.

Village Administrator Matt Fritz reported that the police department had officers scheduled for Tuesday if the board approved the contract. Coal City will provide one police officer each morning from 5 to 7 a.m. and again in the evening from 5 to 7 p.m. when additional personnel are entering and exiting the property for work.

Exelon will pay the village $50 an hour for four hours a day, as well as a one-time fuel adjustment of $350 and a fuel and squad car use fee that totals $380, for a total of $4,530,

Kevin Callahan Grundy County sheriff

according to documents presented to the board.

In addition to the Coal City police, Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said Tuesday the county is providing deputy services to help direct and control the flow of traffic.

“We have two people stationed out there to control traffic to provide public safety for not only the employees but also residents using the roads in that area while there is an increased flow of traffic,” Callahan said.

The county bills Exelon the hour-and-a-half rate an employee, with no additional fees for the squad cars or gas.

“Our people would be out patrolling that area if Exelon didn’t pay us to protect drivers, so we don’t charge them for the cars,” Callahan said.

He said his office can’t provide enough services to adequately address the needs of Exelon, so the company typically contracts with other area police agencies for its additional staffing needs.

Coal City High School students to perform ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – On all Hallows’ Eve, as ghosts and goblins fill the streets trickor-treating, the legend of the headless horseman and the spirits that fill a cemetery will come to life on the Coal City High School auditorium stage.

District 1 vocal teacher Bonnie McDowell is offering her take on “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” an American tale originally imagined by Washington Irving about Ichabod Crane, a schoolteacher who comes face to face with the legend of the headless horseman.

“Every year as the calendar rolls around, I wait for the fall play to land on Halloween.

This year it did,” McDowell said. “I thought, what classic story could we tell? ‘Dracula?’

It’s too seductive. Maybe a legend or a ghost story? That’s it, a headless horseman looking for his head. So I wrote the script.”

McDowell said she looked around for a script for the classic story but didn’t find one she liked, so she improvised.

She wrote the play, incorporating parts from the four scripts she found and fusing them together.

“It’s funny, scary and intriguing,” she said. “It’s been very educational.”

Because it’s an original production, she said those attending will see a play they can’t view on YouTube or in another theater, but that also means she couldn’t borrow set pieces and costumes, either.

Junior Luke Rogers plays Brom Van Brunt, known as Brom Bones. The character competes with Crane, played by freshman Jesse McCantes, for the attention of Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy farmer.

“It’s an amazing play. It’s a very large set with a very large group [of actors],” Rogers said.

Rogers said McDowell’s adaptation of the 1820 classic story is a great addition to Halloween events in Coal City, giving those who may feel a bit too old for trick-or-treating a way to still enjoy the day.

Continued from page 3 McCantes said he knew the story – it was a favorite that his mother read to him when he was little – before being cast as a lead. However, he didn’t know how much work it would take to bring the legend to life on stage.

“It’s challenging, but the amount of work we put into it is also an adrenaline rush,” he said.

Despite having performed in six other musicals, McCantes said there still are parts he finds difficult.

“The hardest part is the little things like how he walks, and how he’s so into himself,” he said. “He’s into himself to an extreme that requires a lot of acting.”

Both McCantes and Rogers agree that playing a role that isn’t like their true nature adds to the challenges.

Rogers said the hardest part of his character is being an antagonist but also being likeable enough for the audience to feel like they are sympathetic toward the character. Pulling that role off also is what he feels is most rewarding.

“Playing a different type of character furthers my acting abilities,” he said. “I typically play more minor roles. Last year I was a lead, but it was a geeky student. I’ve never had to play this type.”

McDowell said she hopes the two performances get a good community turnout, despite it being Halloween.

The play is performed in 75 minutes so it can be easier for younger kids who can’t sit for a full-length production.

A second show will be performed Sunday for those who still want to experience a bit of the spooky magic of the holiday.

Grundy 911 director to retire soon Donna Holtan seen as confident, dedicated service provider

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In 20 of the 26 years Donna Holtan served the Grundy County Emergency Telephone System Board and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department, she missed Thanksgiving and Christmas with her family.

But being the reassuring “voice in the night” was her calling. Serving as the bridge between residents and agencies sworn to protect them was the most rewarding thing about her career, she said.

“I knew when someone called at night they needed me,” Holtan said. “They needed help.”

After walking into the sheriff’s department looking for a job one day and working as a dispatcher, she climbed the ranks to supervisor.

Holtan has been the director at the 911 center since the Grundy County sheriff’s and Morris police 911 dispatch centers were consolidated in May 2012.

Holtan is retiring, and Friday is her last day on the job.

“It’s been an absolute pleasure to spend half my life serving our citizens and agencies,” Holtan said.

She said she once spoke to an elderly woman on Christmas for an hour.

Holtan said the woman thanked her for helping provide assistance regarding a loved one.

Now Holtan will have more time to spend with her own loved ones.

“I gave up a lot of that time,” Holtan said.

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite, who said he came into contact with Holtan quite

often early in their careers, pointed out agencies that provide public safety operate on holidays just like it’s any other day.

“Someone has to be there,” Dite said. “She’s the type to take her responsibility very seriously. She feels providing the service is the right thing to do. That’s who she is.”

Holtan was a confident dispatcher who always knew the right questions to ask callers, Dite said.

Her knowledge of intricate system and protocol details, having risen through the ranks, was a key factor in her being named director.

“Her consistency made us comfortable she could be the 911 center director,” Dite said.

The biggest challenge of her career was crossing the threshold into management, but she said she was able to make some adjustments and improvements in the position.

Holtan said she doesn’t know what her next adven-

“Someone has to be there. She’s the type to take her responsibility very seriously. She feels providing the service is the right thing to do.

That’s who she is.”

Brent Dite Morris police chief

ture will be, but she is sure it will be fun and exciting. She will miss what she has known for 26 years.

“I’m not sure I’ll ever get this [career] out of my system,” Holtan said.

A private open house will be held for Holtan on Friday afternoon.

New director Bud Hicks started this week after coming from a job as communications supervisor at the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office.

Channahon School Board tackles big topics D-17 board considers levying lower taxes this year

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon School District 17 Board of Education received information Monday evening on one of the big decisions members will have to make this year – whether to levy less than the limiting rate in the spring.

The district’s bond debt will be paid off in December, so the district likely will be able to afford it, and the action would benefit taxpayers by decreasing the district’s portion of their property taxes.

But it also would have other consequences.

“Any amount levied under the limiting rate is revenue surrendered in perpetuity,” Director of Finance Mike Schroeder said.

The board will have to weigh its responsibilities to taxpayers of not levying more than is necessary with the unknowns of future expenses. If the board does decide to levy less than the limiting rate, it would be a first for the district.

However, District 17 has enacted several tax abatements in the past 10 years.

“The board really managed everything well during the recession,” Superintendent Nick Henkle said, “and Mike [Schroeder] did an outstanding job of making sure a burden hasn’t fallen on the taxpayers.”

This latest consideration would be more than a simple abatement, and should the board decide to levy less than the limiting rate, the decision would be irreversible, according to both Schroeder and Henkle. On Monday, Schroeder gave the board some options to consider. If the district does not levy below the limiting rate, the tax rate this year could be $2.80 for every $100 in equalized assessed valuation, or 2.8 percent. Last year, it was $2.82.

About $3.73 million in taxpayer dollars would be saved over the next 20 years if the rate were reduced to 2.78 percent, which would be achieved by a levy reduction by the amount of an estimated consumer price index increase of $137,096.

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon School District 17 Board of Education held Monday the first of at least two work sessions to discuss the pros and cons of closing one of the district’s four schools.

Student enrollment has, in recent years, been dropping steadily, opening the possibility to save costs by consolidating into three schools. But many factors come into play, including that this year’s enrollment numbers are higher than expected.

The projected change was for 73 fewer students, but the district only saw a decrease of 28.

“We’re decreasing at a decreasing rate,” Superintendent Nick Henkle said.

However, the district still is shrinking, and regression analyses project a decline in student enrollment of anoth-

er 173 students in the next five years, going from 1,254 this year to a possible 1,081.

Henkle and Finance Director Mike Schroeder presented the board with several facts, projections and other considerations, including operational budget assumptions, costs to increase the number of students at three schools, which schools would receive which grades, and the possibility of leasing out space in the closed school.

If a school is closed, the assumption is it would be Pioneer Path, which houses third and fourth grades. One relocation option would be sending third grade to N.B. Galloway Elementary and fourth grade to Three Rivers School. About $100,000 would need to be spent on a playground at Three Rivers first, as would some additional dollars to redesign Three Rivers’ former industrial technology

Setting a rate of 2.75 percent, which would be achieved by reducing the levy by the amount of the estimated new property EAV of $291,195, would save taxpayers about $7.92 million over the next 20 years.

Considering both new property and the index increase and setting the tax levy at 2.73 percent could save taxpayers $11.64 million.

Board members were urged to proceed with caution while considering the options. Henkle said a variety of factors in the next couple of years could affect the district’s finances, including the passage of Illinois Senate Bill 318, which would affect school funding; pension costs possibly shifting more toward school districts; and increasing health costs.

Schroeder will bring the tentative levy to the school board in November, and the board will decide by the March 2016 board meeting if and how much it will reduce the district’s levy. The board will meet at 5 p.m. Nov. 23 for an open session just before the 7 p.m. regular meeting.

First study session emerges to consider possibly closing a school

Dropping enrollment draws attention to Pioneer Path school Continued from page 6 room as classrooms.

Another option is to send third and fourth grades to Three Rivers and move Three Rivers’ sixth-graders to Channahon Junior High.

Henkle had concerns, however, about having sixth-graders in the same building as seventh- and eighth-graders.

The district has had some interest in leasing Pioneer Path should it close, particularly from the Channahon Park District, which would pay for the space in services to the school district. Henkle said the Southern Will County

Cooperative for Special Education may also be interested in leasing space.

If the district closes Pioneer Path and does not lease it out, it would save about 30 percent in utilities and operations and maintenance.

If it were to lease half of Pioneer Path’s space, it could see a 50 percent savings in utilities and a 10 percent savings in operations and maintenance.

Board President Joe Pope said he was leaning toward not closing Pioneer Path at this time, and board member Joan Ferguson echoed Pope’s sentiments.

The board set another open session to discuss the issue for 5 p.m. Nov. 23.

Two arrested on battery charges in Gardner

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com GARDNER – Two men were arrested early Sunday in Gardner by Grundy County Sheriff’s deputies on charges of aggravated battery.

Cody R. Miles, 18, of Gardner, and Noel T. Cottrell, 21, of Joliet, were charged after allegedly battering Robert DeWitt late Saturday evening.

Cottrell also was charged with possession of a stolen mo- Cody R. tor vehicle.

Miles A Grundy County Sheriff’s deputy was dispatched near midnight Saturday, to the area of 308 Pine St. in Gardner for a potential battery incident.

After arriving to a group yelling incoherently with the smell of alcohol emitting from their breathes, the deputy found DeWitt lying on the ground unconscious and bleeding from the face.

People then ran into a yard

at 302 Pine St. Although Gardner EMS advised dispatch that there were reports of shots in the backyard around this time, the deputy later corrected the statement to be the sound of someone being pushed into a garage door.

More assistance arrived from the Grundy County Sheriff’s office. The alleged victim’s daughter told authorities that her father was trying to break up an argument Noel T. between the two Cottrell subjects, who then turned on him and began punching and kicking him in the roadway.

The alleged victim’s daughter told deputies that after one subject left the area, the subject returned with a handgun and pointed it at her head and said that he’d shoot if she didn’t leave the conflict. At that point, she left and called 911, she told police.

Continued from page 8 Deputies later located Miles at 302 Pine St., where he told them he did not remember what happened because he was knocked out. Miles said he didn’t know where Cottrell was.

The alleged victim’s daughter identified Miles as one of the assailants and he was placed under arrest at 1:10 a.m.

Sunday after deputies noticed bruises and cuts on his knuckles that would indicate he was in a physical altercation, according to police.

Deputies later returned after the property owner at 302

Pine St. reported that Cottrell had returned.

He was placed under arrest at 4:35 a.m. on a charge of aggravated battery after his clothing was found to be consistent with the description given earlier.

The vehicle Cottrell allegedly was driving later was found and had been reported stolen out of Joliet. Cottrell was charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle.

Grundy County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Craig Meece said Tuesday there was not a charge for aggravated assault based on the alleged threat claimed by the victim’s daughter because a gun was not recovered.

10 Local lawmakers work to

release education funding

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Two local lawmakers have filed legislation to authorize the Illinois Community College Board to spend $43 million in grant money for adult basic education that is entangled in the state budget impasse.

Related federal grants and community colleges’ adult education programs are at risk otherwise.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, and state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, Sen. Sue filed identical Rezin legislation ear- R-Morris lier this month.

McGuire’s bill is SB 2185, and Rezin’s is SB 2188. McGuire said five GED programs have shut down statewide because of the budget impasse, and he is concerned about the longterm effects on students.

“This will keep the career and technical education and adult education programs afloat until the programs can receive all of the funding they deserve through the passage of a balanced budget, something that needs to happen as soon as possible,” Rezin said in a news release announcing the legislation she introduced.

McGuire said it is promising to see Democrats and Republicans coming together on the issue, but time will tell whether the full Illinois General Assembly is on board with releasing those funds. The

House and Senate are scheduled next to meet Nov. 10.

Joliet Junior College spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said $1.2 million earmarked for JJC’s adult education and literacy program is in limbo because of Springfield’s budget impasse.

Another $650,000 is tied up for career and technical education programs.

Without a state spending plan in place, Rohder said the state does not have authority to release federal grant dollars totaling $523,000 Sen. Pat for the college’s McGuire adult literacy program and D-Joliet $480,000 in Perkins Grant money.

“These students, in most cases, are considered the most at risk, and these funds help ensure their success,” Rohder said.

The state’s share of JJC’s operation budget has decreased from 18.7 percent in fiscal year 2000 to a projected 10 percent in fiscal year 2016, according to an email from Rohder.

Both SB 2185 and SB 2188 appropriate $18.5 million to career and technical education; about $23.3 million to cover education-related services for local eligible providers and support leadership activities for adult education and literacy; and about $1.3 million for operational expenses to administer the adult education and literacy activities.

Jerome Kass, noted screenplay writer, dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Jerome Kass, a writer whose screenplay “Queen of the Stardust Ballroom” became a movie starring Maureen Stapleton and Charles Durning and later earned him a Tony Award nomination, has died.

He was 78.

His wife, the writer Delia Ephron, said Kass died Thursday of prostate cancer at his home in Manhattan.

Kass also was the brotherin-law of the late screenwriter and director Nora Ephron.

In “Queen of the Stardust Ballroom,” a widow meets a mail man at a local dance

hall. The Broadway version, called “Ballroom,” starred Dorothy Loudon and Vincent Gardenia and was directed and choreographed

by Michael Bennett. It lasted 116 performances, but Kass’ story was one of eight Tony nominations it earned.

Kass co-wrote the screenplay for the 1983 telefilm “The Black Stallion Returns” and the TV mini-series “Evergreen.”

His other film credits include “The Fighter,” “Last Wish” and “A Brand New Life.”

FAMILY TABLE Serving breakfast for dinner – with pasta

By SARA MOULTON The Associated Press This is the ultimate breakfast-for-dinner dish: bacon, eggs and toast (in the form of buttery crumbs), combined with spaghetti.

Comfort food to the highest degree, it’s especially satisfying after a stressful day at school or the office. And all of the ingredients, except for the bacon, are cooked in one skillet.

Most of us fry our bacon in a skillet, but I prefer to lay it out on a rack set into a rimmed and parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet and bake it in the oven.

That way, the bacon cooks more evenly. Also, it doesn’t curl up and make a greasy mess of the stovetop.

Then again, if you insist on making this a true one-pot meal, you can cook the bacon in the skillet before adding any of the other ingredients, and substitute some of the bacon fat left in the pan for the butter in the recipe.

This recipe’s one unconventional technique is cooking the spaghetti in a skillet rather than a big pot of boiling water.

Just take heart knowing that both the Spanish and Mexicans use this same technique.

First, the pasta is toasted in oil in the skillet. Then the liquid is added and the pasta is simmered until it is al dente.

Why bother with this method?

Because the pasta picks up more flavor this way.

You add the eggs when the pasta is just about finished.

They need to be cooked over medium-low heat, stirred constantly, and pulled off the heat the minute they’re done so they don’t overcook and get tough.

The breadcrumbs are the finishing touch; half are mixed into the pasta and eggs, half are sprinkled on top.

If you can’t resist the temptation to add some cheese, you always can substitute some

PARK FOREST – As expected, Kaylin Korte led the Morris volleyball team in kills – with 20 of them – in Tuesday night’s match against Lincoln-Way West.

The surprise in the stat book for the Redskins, in their 24-26, 25-21, 25-20 win over the Warriors in the Class 3A Rich East Regional semifinals, was the nine kills by sophomore Calleen Soper. Soper gave Morris a much-needed third option up front after Korte and Janelle Brehm (13 kills), and it proved to be exactly what Morris needed.

“Calleen Soper came up huge for us,” Morris coach Taylor Lafond said about the left-handed right-side hitter. “I think she only made one swing that didn’t end up as a kill. She was awesome tonight.”

The Redskins (15-17-2) looked to be in trouble early, falling behind, 14-8, in the first game before rallying to tie at 18 and 19 before getting out to a 24-22 lead. However, Lincoln-Way West’s Olivia Degroot got the serve back with a kill to make it 24-23, and then served two straight aces to give the Warriors a 2524 lead. Morris committed an illegal hit violation to end the game. Lincoln-Way West then took a 9-5 lead in Game 2 before Morris started to come back.

The Redskins got Korte to the front row and she came up with two straight kills.

Korte combined with Veronica Johnson on a block to tie the game at 12. Two more Korte kills gave Morris a 14-13 lead. A kill by Degroot tied the game before Korte got a kill and Ashley Hood served an ace among three straight points for an 18-14 Morris lead.

The Redskins never trailed again and Korte provided the final point on a kill to set up the winner-take-all third game.

“I told the girls that they had to keep playing,” Lafond said.

“Lincoln-Way wasn’t going to want to go to three games, so they were going to be fighting for every point, which they did. They are a very good team and play good competition, so they are used to matches like

“We have to realize that as we keep going, the defenses are going to be better and more balls will be coming back. We have to stay ready at all times.”

this.”

In Game 3, it was Brehm who took over the hitting duties early as Morris led, 10-8, before Korte got her first kill of the game to make it 11-8. Early on, Brehm had three kills and Soper had one.

Lincoln-Way West refused to give up silently, however, and the Warriors rallied to take a 16-13 lead. With Korte at the service line, Morris got three kills from Brehm and one from Soper to grab a 20-16 lead. An ace by Korte and a hitting error by the Warriors put Morris ahead 22-16.

Soper then got a kill to make it 23-17. After an ace by Lincoln-Way West’s Katie Davis made it 24-20, Brehm ended the match with a kill, giving the Redskins a chance to win their first regional title since 2011.

Addison Polite led Morris with 22 assists and eight digs, while Hood had 19 assists, five digs and two aces. Ryan Friend had three blocks and Johnson added two blocks and a kill.

“I thought Addie played much better on defense,” Lafond said. “Everyone out there contributed, and that’s what we need. I keep telling them that Kaylin or Janelle can’t do everything. When everyone’s on the same page, we are a good team.

“We did a good job tonight of celebrating, but not overdoing it. Sometimes when we get a big kill, we will be pumped up, but maybe take a point or two off after. We didn’t do that tonight. We stayed on an even keel. We have to realize that as we keep going, the defenses are going to be better and more balls will be coming back. We have to stay ready at all times.”

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: COAL CITY 25-25, RICH EAST 8-17

PARK FOREST — The Coal City volleyball team didn’t take much time in showing its stuff to host Rich East at the Class 3A Rich East Regional on Monday.

The Coalers needed just over a half-hour to defeat the Rockets 25-8, 25-17 and advance to Tuesday’s semifinals against Chicago Christian.

Almost before fans could get comfortable in their seats, Coal City (13-16) rolled to the first-game victory by using a balanced offensive attack with Cali Caruso, Katelyn Sisk and Kenady Clauburn attacking at will. The defense was strong as well, with Abby Washburn, Kasey Hennessy and Leah Campos delivering solid passes that allowed setter Mackenzie Bugg to distribute the ball among the hitters.

The second game started the same as the first, as the Coalers jumped to a 6-0 lead on the serve of Annalyn Bendele. The lead stretched to 9-2

Rich East made a brief run and closed to 23-16 before Bugg got a kill to make it 24-16 and Caruso ended it with a kill.

“The girls played well,” Coal City coach Pam McMurtrey said. “They have been working very hard at practice, and it showed tonight. We also got Kenady Clayburn back from an injury and she’s full strength now, so that’s a great addition at this time of year.

“We have been working on passing and defense all year and the girls have improved on that so much. You can’t do anything without good passing. It all starts from there, and we have been doing a great job of that.

BLACKHAWKS

Rozsival recovering at his own pace

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Michal Rozsival never saw his ankle wrenched 180 degrees, his toes pointing backward for a brief, horrifying instant.

After he caught that rut in the neutral zone while backtracking at Minnesota’s XCel Energy Center and went flailing to the ice – his left foot gruesomely torqued under the weight of his falling body – Rozsival’s only instinct was to get up and try to chase down Thomas Vanek.

Only he couldn’t.

“I tried to get up and chase the puck, and I realized I basically didn’t have a left leg,” Rozsival said. “It was like I had no leg at all. That’s when I knew something was very, very wrong, because I had no control over my ankle. It was just loose down there. At that point, I knew I was pretty much done for the season.”

Not just the season.

Given Rozsival’s age (he

turned 37 last month) and the severity of the injury, most fans, teammates, coaches and front-office personnel had to wonder if he was done for his career.

The thought crept into Rozsival’s mind, too.

When his teammates won the Stanley Cup five weeks later, Rozsival wheeled himself around the United Center on a one-legged scooter, adorned with a Blackhawks logo sticker on the front.

Training camp already was less than three months away.

Rozsival’s fractured ankle made a return unlikely.

His impending free agency and the Hawks’ salary-cap situation made it seem impossible.

The pain of the injury was brutal, etched on his face as he repeatedly tried to simply get to his knees before being carried off by Duncan Keith and Brad Richards.

But it paled in comparison to the pain of having to miss the last two rounds of the

“I’m just very happy that I can still be here, and that the Blackhawks organization gave me a chance, even with this injury. I can tell you this: I’ll do everything in my power to help this team win again.”

Michal Rozsival Hawks defenseman playoffs, of an uncertain future, of the possibility of that one misstep being his final moment in the NHL. So Rozsival decided to do something about it.

He chose the physical pain of rehab over the mental anguish of forced retirement.

“After we won the Cup, I kind of made up my mind that I was going to do everything I can, everything in my power, to try to get this ankle back together and to keep playing,” he said. “I didn’t want to end my career with a broken ankle.”

He’s not there yet. While he’s been skating with the

Hawks for more than a week, and he’s eligible to come off long-term injured reserve on Nov. 2, and he’s sorely needed with Keith out another month or so following knee surgery, Rozsival is taking his time.

His left leg isn’t as strong as it needs to be, he’s not moving as well as he wants to move, his conditioning isn’t at the level he’d like it to be at, and he doesn’t expect to be back in the lineup next week.

But he’s getting close.

“I won’t feel comfortable getting on the ice until I feel 100 percent ready to not just be out there, but to actually contribute and play at a lev-

el I want to play at,” Rozsival said.

Given where he was five months ago – prone on the ice in St. Paul, his ankle shattered, his season done and his career in jeopardy – just putting on a practice jersey and skating with his teammates is a massive victory by itself.

For a guy who never even considered talking to other teams as an unrestricted free agent, waiting until the Hawks invited him to camp on a tryout contract, having that logo on his jersey rather than on a scooter means everything.

“It never really crossed my mind to leave,” Rozsival said.

“Maybe if I couldn’t sign here, I would have been done. I had the best time of my hockey career here in Chicago. … I’m just very happy that I can still be here, and that the Blackhawks organization gave me a chance, even with this injury.

I can tell you this: I’ll do everything in my power to help this team win again.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

What is the exception to the general rule?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Robert J. Sawyer, a Canadian science fiction writer who has won a Hugo and a Nebula award, said, “General principles should not be based on exceptional cases.”

That is true, but bridge thrives on exceptions. Over the last two days, we have looked at the general principle for a defender’s overruff: Do so with any singleton, doubleton king-low, doubleton queen-low, and with tripleton queen-low-low unless partner rates to be short in the suit. But do not overruff with an honor that will still score a trick later and a lower card that might have been promoted as a winner.

Does today’s deal fit the bill, or is it an exception? West is defending against four spades. He leads his singleton heart. East wins with his queen, dropping South’s jack, and returns the heart 10. After South ruffs with the spade queen, how should West defend?

In yesterday’s deal, West started with K-10-x of trumps, and by not overruffing, his 10 became a trick. In that deal, though, partner could not have an immediate entry.

Here, East has carefully led the heart 10, a suit-preference signal for diamonds. West should overruff and shift to a diamond.

East will take two tricks in that suit, then lead another heart to promote a second trump trick for West and result in down two.

Note that if West does not overruff at trick two, South will probably cash his spade ace, then turn to clubs to discard his diamonds and get home.

But, yes, he might not.

The key defensive point, though, is to overruff when your side has winners to cash in another suit.

Guidelines advise statins for those with heart disease risk Dear Readers: In a recent column, I began to answer a reader’s question as to what I thought about the new statin guidelines. Today, I finish my necessarily long-winded answer.

Statin drugs have (at least) two powerful effects. They lower blood levels of LDL cholesterol (so-called “bad” cholesterol). They also fight inflammation.

Old guidelines said doctors should prescribe statins for people whose LDL cholesterol levels were high. New guidelines say doctors should prescribe statins to people who are at high risk for heart disease, even if their LDL cholesterol levels are not high.

These guidelines are contro-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff versial.

What are the risk factors for heart disease? Age is a risk factor: The older a person is, the more likely he or she will have heart trouble.

Another risk factor is gender. Until they reach menopause, women are less likely to develop heart disease than men. That probably is because a woman’s estrogen (female hormone) levels slow the development of atherosclerosis.

Plaques of atherosclerosis are the cause of most heart disease in developed nations. In

the United States, the average age of menopause is 51.

Yet another risk factor is other close relatives (parents, siblings) with heart disease – particularly at a young age.

Still other risk factors are high blood pressure, diabetes (including pre-diabetes) and eating lots of refined carbohydrates with a high glycemic load. If you are a smoker, or past smoker, that raises your risk. Obesity, lack of regular exercise (even if you are not obese) and chronic kidney disease are risk factors.

Personality plays a role, too. People who suffer from depression or people who frequently become angry also are at increased risk.

To determine your risk of

heart disease over the next 10 years, there are several different formulas. Your doctor (or you, online) can plug your risk factors into a formula, and back comes your heart disease risk. (I’ve put a link to one formula on my website, www.askdoctork.com.)

The new guidelines my reader asked about, published in 2013, recommended a statin for anyone between 40 and 75 years of age who has a 7.5 percent or higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke over the next 10 years. The guideline writers proposed a new formula for calculating the risk.

Some experts worried the new guidelines could overestimate the risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

If so, lots of people would end up taking a statin, get little benefit from it and perhaps suffer side effects, such as muscle pain. A recent study led by Harvard researchers, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, seemed to show the worry was unwarranted.

My conclusion: The new guidelines appear to be an accurate way to decide who should be taking a statin. With new information coming in all the time, I reserve the right to change my mind. If I do, I’ll let you know.
