COVER STORY

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Although Jorie Struck learned the Xhosa language and could communicate fairly well with the mostly English-speaking population of the South African residents she worked with, there were two American concepts she could not get them to comprehend.

Black Friday, and biscuits and gravy, the Morris resident and Marquette University student said.

Extreme poverty meant the residents could not understand the frenzy of buying Americans partake in the day after Thanksgiving, and biscuits and gravy was out of their realm of cuisine.

Struck returned from studying abroad for four-anda-half months in Cape Town, where she spent a semester at the University of Western Cape and worked on a service project in one of the poorest schools in the nation. The Study Abroad Service Learning Program was from July 5 through Nov. 20. She is back for the holidays and will return to Marquette in January to complete her senior year.

“I am so lucky that I got to spend time there,” she said.

“When I went there, I wanted to go and leave footprints. I wanted to make a difference.

“I think now that was a little naïve. They left footprints on my heart even more than I left my footprints.”

Twenty other students participated in the program with Struck, all residing in the same house in a suburb of Cape Town. The students took a semester’s worth of college courses while there: Struck took Women’s Studies, Forgiveness and Reconciliation – a theology class, Leaders in Grassroots Organizations and African Philosophy.

“Ubuntu” was a huge discovery for her. It is the philosophy held by many Africans that “a person is a person only through other people.”

“It means we are all connected in our humanity,” she

said. “You cannot just live your life through yourself.”

Struck lived out the philosophy in her service hours.

She was an aide and teacher at a school in the South African township of Nyanga. Violence, drugs, HIV and gangs were ubiquitous there. Nyanga, she said, is the murder capital of Cape Town.

“I felt cautious at all times,” she said. “I felt safe, though. I quickly befriended the community near where I worked. I knew they wouldn’t let anything happen to me while I was there.”

She also took precautions, such as not going out after dark. The house she lived in was in a safer community, but even so, she said all the houses were surrounded by walls that were at least eight feet high with electric fences on top.

But even with the crime, Struck said she hopes to go back. She valued the work she did there and the lessons the country taught her.

“We were passionate about what we were doing,” she said. “We were tired. We would leave at 7 a.m. and get back at 5:30 p.m. ... It took its toll at times, but it was always worth it.”

She taught life skills, which involved subjects such as HIV prevention, how to be a good citizen and personal hygiene. She also taught creative art and performing arts

in her three sixth-grade classes, which were composed of students ages 11 to 17.

“Many of my kids weren’t literate,” she said. “They came from very, very poor homes. They lived in very beaten-down houses, almost like shacks.”

Struck spearheaded two programs in the school: an after-school math program that helped keep the kids off the streets and away from gangs, and a fundraiser called, “Pull up a Chair for Hlengisa.” The school, Hlengisa, didn’t have enough chairs for its students, so she and a friend started the fundraiser and shared the website with friends and family back home.

“We raised $1,100 and bought 140 chairs,” she said.

“That was something that meant so much to me. They came in the last day I was teaching. ... We involved the whole school in celebrating the chairs.”

Struck also experienced the natural wonders of the country, taking train trips, hiking up at least one of the three mountain peaks that surround Cape Town, and going to the beaches of the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

She also got to join in with a marimba band playing the djembe drum, thanks to her lessons on African drumming Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media by local music teacher Marci Just back in Morris after four months studying and teaching in South Kumor.

Africa, Jorie Struck shows letters of thanks from her students.

State’s Attorney’s Office starts study of safety improvements

By NICK SAMUEL

back to his office.

“I might be discussing a sensitive case with my attorneys,” Helland said. “If you go to any other state’s attorney’s office, they have to buzz you in.”

Mitch Conwell, juvenile justice division program coordinator, said he performs sensitive interviews with his clients involving abuse and neglect.

The coordinator said this interferes with him being able to make his client’s case plan, which addresses the client’s offense and any needs the client may have such as family counseling, individual substance and mental health counseling.

nsamuel@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Constructing a new receptionist window, key card access on doors and leveling a countertop are a few potential ideas for improvements in the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office in order to enhance safety and security.

Andrea Roseland, secretary for the office, sits at her desk behind the counter just a few inches from the entrance and from four chairs designated for clients.

Some of those clients are crime witnesses or are in the juvenile justice division program, while others are in the office on court business, according to State’s Attorney Jason Helland.

“Occasionally, we have people that come in that get angry,” Roseland said. “If they want, they can just reach right over the counter.”

The office’s counter is low in the center and elevated at both ends.

Helland said each end of the counter is high enough that support staff might not even know someone is across the counter. He added the office

We need to tighten down for public safety purposes and so we don’t leak information out to the public,” Helland said.

“Because I deal with juveniles, there’s confidentiality.”

Helland said the overall project will cost about $45,000, which will come out of the county’s capital improvement fund.

At Thursday’s Law and Justice/Facilities Committee meeting, Helland told the committee an engineering study looking at possible safety improvements for the office is underway.

The study, which Helland said is being done by Chamlin & Associates and costs $1,500, will come up with a proposal of what can be done with the existing space by next month.

“Once we get that proposal, we’ll put it out for bid,” Helland said.

Shaw Media Correspondent

MINOOKA – When her daughter’s lunch came back from school half eaten, Kristin Rhoads just assumed she wasn’t hungry.

“Ignorance is totally bliss sometimes,” said Rhoads, who since has learned that a lack of time, rather than a lack of appetite, was to blame for her first-grader foregoing her lunch.

Students at Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201’s four elementary schools are allowed a 35-minute mid-day break. During that time, the students use the restroom, eat their lunch and go outside for recess. This time of year, that 35 minutes also includes time to bundle up in coats and hats.

Some parents have reported their children routinely eat lunch in full outdoor gear, to allow them to hit the playground immediately after eating. While dining in parkas isn’t required at any of the schools, it appears to be a widely practiced routine, especially among the youngest students.

School Board member Doug Martin said there are several things wrong with the 35-minute lunch/recess.

Not only does it not allow adequate time for children to enjoy their lunch, it doesn’t allow time to develop such things as leadership and conflict resolution – things that aren’t taught in a classroom, but learned on a playground, Martin said.

“Academic subjects, for me, are not the sole focus of education,” he said. “Kids need to learn to play together and to socialize.”

Martin has proposed a reG r un d y C ou

vised policy that calls for 10 more minutes for children to eat and exercise. By extending the break to 45 minutes, students will have a 20 minute seated lunchtime and a 20 minute outdoor recess, with 5 minutes for waiting in line, walking to and from the cafeteria and playground, and bathroom breaks.

The policy also calls for a second recess in the afternoon for all elementary students.

Superintendent Al Gegenheimer referred requests for comment to school board president Jim Satorius.

“I haven’t heard all of the arguments for or against it yet,” Satorius said.

He does have concerns regarding schedule changes.

Changing the school day in the middle of the year could be disruptive, he said.

“I try to keep an open mind,” Satorius said, and if a longer lunch and recess can be added without disrupting the academic portion of the day, he will consider voting in favor.

Lunch and recess are for the teachers, too, said school board member and parent Kristan Crouch. Children who are well-fed and allowed to burn off excess energy at recess are better able to concentrate in the classroom, she said.

Rhoads said she agrees that school isn’t just about learning to read, add and subtract. It’s also about making friends and learning proper social skills. And proper social skills don’t involve rushing through a meal dressed in snow gear.

“I’m all for it,” she said of the extended lunch and recess.

She also is in favor of Martin’s proposal to allow snacks throughout the school day.

Current policy allows food in the elementary classrooms only at holiday parties and as birthday treats. For students with a late lunch period, that could mean several hours without food, Rhoads said. The new policy would encourage parents to send healthy snacks to school and would allow teachers and the Parent Teacher Organization to provide food, as well.

Satorius said if snacks were to become allowed in class, regulation will be needed to protect those with food allergies.

The school board unanimously approved both policies in their first readings. A second reading and vote are set for Dec. 17. Three such readings are required before a policy can go into effect.

MORRIS – As winter sets in, there is nothing like a warm blanket wrapped around you to keep you warm.

When that blanket is handmade with love, it warms not just the body, but the soul.

Quilters Linda Doyle, Debbie Gollwitzer and Lois Jacobs, who live in the suburbs around Westmont, happened to be in Morris one day when they stopped to have lunch at Lesa’s Liberty Street Cafe after a shopping trip to The Fabric Center. They ran into Phil Jass, administrator for the Grundy County Health Department.

As they talked, Jass discovered the women quilt for a group called Quilting for a Cause, which meets twice a month at quiltfabric.com, a Westmont quilting store.

They work on quilts they can give to others, free of charge.

“Quilting for a Cause is all volunteers,” Jacobs said. “We are given fabric by the store and from donations that we use to make quilts to give to others.”

The group of women have

made from 350 to 400 pillowcases, 25 twin-size quilts, as well as more than 100 lap-size quilts, which they have donated to shelters, retirement homes and hospitals.

“We are looking for needs,” Doyle said. “We are looking for a place that needs them, not to a high-end nursing home where the need is not great.”

Jacobs said when they met Jass at the cafe, they asked him if he had a need.

He told the group he did, and arranged for them to drop off their donation Wednesday.

The group brought 16, 40by-40 inch lap-size quilts that can be used by those sitting in a wheelchair, six twin-size quilts and two crocheted blankets.

Jass said he will talk with employees to identify people or families in need that are served in the health department’s mental health, senior or child and family divisions, and will gift them with a blankets.

The group meets the first and third Tuesday each month at the store at 818 Ogden Ave., Westmont, with a core group of nine people, which goes

GAVC, Special Education Co-op to get drawings for life skills house

By NICK SAMUEL

nsamuel@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Renderings of a life skills house for special education students are set to be presented at Grundy County’s next Law & Justice/Facilities Committee meeting, according to Neil Sanburg.

Sanburg, executive director for the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative, said the co-op will collaborate with the Grundy Area Vocational Center on the drawings.

“We’re hoping GAVC has a lot of resources. They’ve built so many homes in the past that we’re going to lean on them for ideas to present,” Sanburg said Friday.

“We certainly want to build a nice-looking facility. It would be a very functional building and something the community can be proud of.”

If the house is built, it would be used as a nontraditional, community-based classroom and allow special education students to learn

life skills such as cooking, cleaning and paying bills.

Students from the Special Education Cooperative’s REACH transition program, ages 18 to 21, would use the home during school hours.

The group ranges between 15 and 20 students.

The co-op and GAVC have partnered for the project so the GAVC’s building and trade students can build the house.

Sanburg said the house will look less like a typical residential home in order to fit in with the existing setting and current administration building.

“It has got to blend in. You can’t have the engineer draw up something and it looks crazy,” said committee member Doug Boresi at Thursday’s Law & Justice/Facilities Committee meeting.

Lance Copes, director of the GAVC, said Friday the center is excited to be part of a program where it has students building homes for other students. But, he added GAVC won’t be taking the lead on

designing the drawings of the house.

“We don’t even design our own homes. We take construction blueprints and work off of those,” Copes said. “We’re going to work more as a group than taking the lead. I believe Mr. Sanburg is looking at some drawings other co-ops have made around the state.”

Committee members previously discussed the idea of using a grassy area directly south of the Grundy County Administration Building as a potential location for the life skills house. Chris Mehochko, superintendent for the Regional Office of Education, introduced the idea last month after a proposal for a house in Fields of Saratoga subdivision was withdrawn due to neighbors’ objections.

“The beauty of it is my office is across the street,” Sanburg said at Thursday’s committee meeting.

David Welter, county board chairman, said the

But there were state-specific forms the service officer could validate, and state-specific programs she could assist with, such as hunting and fishing licences, that the county office cannot.

Veterans needing help can still call the Joliet office at 815730-4334, Buck said. Veterans can also visit the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs website at veterans.illinois.gov and request assistance, Yantis said.

“Within two business days ... one of our veterans service officers, the closest, most available, will contact them,” Yantis said.

Throughout Illinois, the department has 73 veterans service officers to assist 721,000 veterans, Yantis said.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt this would be an asset

MORRIS – Monthly visits to Grundy County by a state veterans service officer must end until further notice due to a shift in staffing by the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs, officials say.

The service officer has visited Grundy County twice a month to work with local veterans, providing services the Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission could not, VAC Superintendent Ken Buck said.

Buck on Friday said he received notice that the officer has moved to cover an office in Manteno, and so will discontinue visits to Grundy County for now.

“We’re hoping to get it back

A sudden opening at the Illinois Veterans Home at Manteno required a shift of the service officer, said Ryan Yantis, communications manager with Veterans’ Affairs.

Yantis said the department is looking for a replacement to fill that opening, but for the time being, the service officer has moved to serve veterans at the home. Veterans’ Affairs serves 900 veterans at four veterans homes in the state, Yantis said.

The Grundy County VAC can continue to assist veterans with their federal benefits, Buck said, including education, health care, compensation and pension claims.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Stick to your own agenda. Helpful friends may offer unsolicited advice regarding your personal or professional life. Follow your instincts. You are the best judge of what is good for you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your heightened intuition will keep you on

a variety of charities and nonprofit organizations, according to a news release.

The annual event is sponsored by the Dwight Woman’s Club. Wounded Warriors, Illinois Special Olympics, Dwight Food Pantry, Livingston County Relay for Life, Autism Toolbox and Under His Wings Ministry in Morris are a few of the groups that will benefit.

Under His Wings Ministry in Morris will be the recipient of funds raised from the raffle of a tree created by Joanne Ribordy of Kinsman titled “This message BEARS repeating: Jesus is the only reason for the season.”

The tree comes complete with a tree skirt, a 30-inch Old World Santa and a bear nativity set.

The Dwight Woman’ Club

has chosen the theme “Frozen” for their tree in the Festival this year, with the Dwight Food Pantry benefiting from the proceeds of the raffle for the tree. The sparkling blue, 6-foot, pre-lit pencil tree looks a little crooked as if it is blowing in a winter wind storm. It features a variety of crystal and frosted ornaments donated by Woman’s Club members, as well as lots of “Fro-

LOUISVILLE – Members of the Seneca FFA Chapter were one of 43 teams participating in the National FFA Meats Evaluation and Technology Career Development Event earlier this month.

The event was held in conjunction with the 87th National FFA Convention and Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, according to a news release. The team, led by advisor Kent Weber, was awarded a silver emblem. Members also competed for individual awards with 161 other participants. Mackenzie Granby, Thaddeus McCormack, Allyson Storm and Samantha Degraaf all received a silver emblem.

The top 10 individuals and the national winning team members received cash awards to recognize their success in the event. The cash awards and the event are sponsored by Kraft Foods – Oscar Mayer Division, Cargill Meat Solutions, Hormel Foods Corporation, and Tyson Foods Inc. as a special

project of the National FFA Foundation.

The National FFA Meats Technology and Evaluation CDE is a competitive event that tests students’ skills and competencies in evaluating and identifying meat carcasses and products. Event components include a general knowledge exam; beef carcass evaluation; identification of wholesale and retail cuts of beef, lamb and pork; quality and yield grading of beef carcasses; a team meat merchandising event; and solving of a meat formulation problem. Each team has competed on the local and state levels to earn the privilege of representing their state at the National FFA Convention & Expo.

This event, held at the University of Kentucky, is one of many educational activities at the National FFA Convention and Expo in which FFA members apply classroom knowledge to real-life situations.

OPINION OUR VIEW

Great season in football

Football coaches will tell you their players start focusing on a state title from the first day of summer football camp, maybe even the first day they take the practice field as freshmen.

That’s not entirely so.

Some dream of the chance to hoist a state title trophy the first time they strap on helmet and pads on their youth football team.

They think about it while streaking down the field with their friends at the park, playing five-on-five or, on those lucky days, seven-on-seven.

They practice that winning moment in their backyards, fantasize about lining up to kick that last-second field goal to close out the victory.

Jordan Sarr, he lived the dream the night of Nov. 28, kicking the game-winning field goal as the last seconds ticked off the clock, giving Wilmington the Class 3A state title. All the practice, all the sweat and tackling and grinding in the trenches, and it came down to the foot of a young kid from Indiana.

This young man, and his teammates, embody the hopes of just about anyone who ever cradled a football in the crook of their elbow, to have the chance to stand on top of the heap for one night and declare themselves the best.

Congratulations to Wilmington on its successful football season. And a congratulations to all of our local teams who made it through the season, who went out week after week, whether they knew they would win or lose. Their dedication and commitment to their game is commendable.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Obama edict raises questions about illegal immigrants’ benefits When the Affordable Care Act was being written and debated, President Barack Obama took care to emphasize that no illegal immigrants would be eligible for its benefits. Obama and the Democrats who passed the bill were sensitive to public concerns that those who entered the United States illegally should not receive assistance intended for those here legally.

Indeed, an Obama promise along those lines played a role in one of the most notorious incidents of the president’s time in office.

“There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants,” Obama said in a Sept.

9, 2009, health care address to a joint session of Congress.

“This, too, is false. The reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.”

At that moment, Republican Rep. Joe Wilson yelled out, “You lie!” leaving the president and lawmakers stunned.

Wilson’s action was inexcusable, but the suspicions behind it were entirely understandable.

Republicans have always suspected the administration

VIEWS Byron York wanted to extend not only Obamacare but a whole range of federal benefits to illegal immigrants. And now, the president’s unilateral executive action on immigration seems to be confirming some of those fears.

On Nov. 11, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell participated in an online chat with a group of Latino bloggers. Burwell was asked a two-part question.

Would the young immigrants known as Dreamers be eligible for Obamacare subsidies, and can so-called mixed families – for example, a family with illegal parents and legal children – receive benefits?

Dreamers are not eligible, Burwell said. But she left no doubt that she – along with officials at the highest levels of the Obama administration – wants that to change. “I think that everyone probably knows that this administration feels incredibly strongly about the fact we need to fix that,” Bur-

well explained. “It’s reasonable to assume that the administration would have no compunction about issuing some sort of regulatory guidance to HHS to make [immigrants affected

by Obama’s action] eligible for subsidies,” said one well-connected GOP Hill aide. “The administration has sufficiently re-interpreted Obamacare and re-interpreted the immigration laws that it would not be at all surprising if they follow through on what Burwell said.”

Republican concerns have been intensified by Obama’s slippery language about other federal benefits. In announcing executive action, for example, the president said to those affected that if, among other requirements, “you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes,” then “you can come out of the shadows and get right with the law.”

The phrase “pay your fair share of taxes” suggests to most ears that Obama meant immigrants involved would pay their fair share of taxes. But in fact, Obama’s action will make many immigrants eligible to be paid by the government, and not the other way around; many will now be eligible for

the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit, which could mean they receive thousands of taxpayer dollars each year.

In addition, Obama’s use of the phrase “get right with the law” is itself a bit misleading; a reasonable listener might assume that Obama was conferring legal status on those involved. But the Justice Department issued an opinion that his programs “would not ‘legalize’ any aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States.” So the illegal immigrants involved are still illegal immigrants, which leads to the question: If Obama is making millions of still-illegal immigrants newly eligible for certain federal benefits, why would anyone believe he will stop there?

It’s not clear exactly how far-reaching the effects of Obama’s immigration edict will be. But there’s no doubt it has increased the already high level of mistrust between the president and Republicans on Capitol Hill.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 43, KANELAND 42

Morris girls win thriller in home opener

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A conference win is never easy.

Just ask the Morris girls basketball team after Friday night’s 43-42 Northern Illinois Big 12 East win over Kaneland in Morris.

After most of the game was nip and tuck, Morris turned a 27-25 lead at the end of the third quarter into a 37-26 advantage midway through the fourth. However, Kaneland, which was undefeated coming into the game, did not concede defeat and tightened things up late in the fourth. A free throw by freshman Mya Shannon gave Morris a 43-39 lead with 11.7 seconds left and proved to be the game-winner when Kaneland’s Jennifer Weber hit a three-pointer with five seconds left.

“I won’t say it was a pretty win, but it’s a win on our own floor in the conference, so I guess that’s pretty,” Morris coach Kate Carey said. “With the history we have against Kaneland, we knew we had to play four quarters.”

The third quarter was a key for the Redskins (5-1, 1-0), both in the game and going forward. Morris was able to

have other girls that will step up and do the scoring. Jessica Ponce hit a couple of big baskets, and so did Jessica Jurak. We got in some foul trouble early, and Kayla Cryder came in and did a nice job.

She has been very consistent all season.”

Still, even with the wealth being spread around, it wasn’t easy going. Kaneland refused to go away, and made things tight in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Morris was up by 11, but Kaneland went on an 11-2 run to make it, 39-37, with 1:40 to play. Cryder hit a free throw, and Jurasits followed with a pair of her own to make it 42-37. Kaneland’s Kylie Modaff then hit a long two-point shot to make it 42-39 with 22 seconds left.

Shannon then hit the first of two free throws to make it 4339 and Weber’s three provided the final score.

“It was nice to be on our own floor,” Carey said. “We Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media had some of the first home game jitters in the first quarMorris’ Kayla Cryder drives to the basket in the Redskins’ 43-42 win over Kaneland on Friday in Morris. ter, but we got rid of them. move from a tie at 18 at half- was the work of the rest of the scored five points in the Our defense did a pretty good time to a 27-19 lead without team that brought this one fourth-quarter run that saw job of forcing them into turnMorris build its biggest lead. overs or taking shots they either Shannon or leading home.

left, he hit a free throw to cap a personal 7-0 run. Patterson finished with 18 points, as did teammate Evan Bjelland.

“Once we went to the basket and got some calls, that was a win-win for us,” Patterson said. “It got a foul on one of their guys and we got to shoot free throws.”

But it was the defense that turned the tide for Morris in the fourth quarter. Kaneland scored the first points of the period but didn’t score again until 1:40 remained in the game. From that point on, Morris was able to hit enough free throws to keep the Knights at

bay.

“Our defense was really good in the second half,” Patterson said. “We started to play together more. You can’t beat team defense.”

“We got to the line and we finally got ‘Patty’ going,” Blumberg said. “But the big thing was the defense in the second half. We played better post defense and we rebounded better.

“Also, we got our scoring from Evan and Austin, but we got big contributions from some seniors off the bench.

Cody Niewinski and Jacob Brady had some really big

plays for us all throughout the game, and Evan hit the shots to keep us in it in the first half.”

Bjelland hit a long three-pointer at the halftime buzzer to send the Redskins into intermission with a fivepoint deficit rather than eight, providing some momentum for the big second-half surge.

“It’s always a battle when we play Kaneland,” Blumberg said. “They are always wellcoached and well-prepared.

The last four times we have played, it’s been a total of nine points difference, so it’s no surprise that we had another tight one.”

NEW LENOX – The Illinois High School Association defended its policies in response to a lawsuit that addresses its monitoring of concussions for football players during a Friday news conference at Lincoln-Way West High School.

IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman cited the organization’s commitment to safety issues in not only football, but all sports.

Hickman was joined by Wilmington football coach and assistant principal Jeff Reents, Mount Carmel football coach Frank Lenti and LaSalle-Peru Athletic Director D’Wayne Bates, who voiced their support of the IHSA. Hickman said the class action lawsuit could lead to the demise of programs throughout the state. It was filed by lead plaintiff Daniel Bukal in Cook County Circuit Court and raises questions about the IHSA’s

Effects of stress can be found even in our cells

Dear Doctor K: I recently heard that studies are showing that stress makes us age faster.

Is there anything to that?

Dear Reader: I’ll bet you are referring to studies about the effects of ongoing stress on our cells. Each of us is a collection of 13 trillion cells. Anything that causes our cells to age causes us to age. And chronic stress does cause our cells to age faster.

When we consider the signs of aging, we think about our appearance, our mobility and our physical vigor. However, our cells also display signs of aging. One sign of a cell’s age is the length of its telomeres.

What are telomeres? Inside every cell are the chromo-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

somes that carry most of our genes. Telomeres are at the two ends of the chromosomes.

The older a cell is, the more times it has divided. Every time a cell divides, its telomeres get a little shorter.

What does this have to do with stress? In 2004, two scientists, professor Elizabeth Blackburn and Dr. Elissa Epel at the University of California-San Francisco Medical Center, reported a study of mothers who were the primary caregivers of chron-

ically ill kids. They found that the telomeres in their white blood cells (which help fight infection) were shorter than the telomeres of women of the same age who were living without such stress. In fact, the mothers living with chronic stress had cells that were about 10 years older -- as judged by the length of the telomeres.

Other scientists have generally found the same relationship between chronic stress and the length of telomeres.

And they’ve found it in people of all ages, from kindergarten-aged kids to people in the 60- to 80-year age range. For example, kids exposed to lots of violence, and kids raised

in orphanages, have shorter telomeres than kids of the same age not exposed to the same stress.

Even more striking, many studies are finding that people with shorter telomeres are more prone to various major diseases and to have a shorter lifespan.

Some doctors and scientists are predicting that we will someday routinely measure the length of telomeres in our white blood cells as part of a regular health checkup. They argue that this would identify people more vulnerable to disease and most in need of stress reduction.

How does chronic stress affect the length of telomeres?

Several hormones are overproduced by people living with chronic stress, particularly the hormone called cortisol.

Professor Blackburn, whose research on telomeres was honored with the Nobel Prize in 2009, says that laboratory studies show that higher levels of cortisol shorten the telomeres.

So chronic stress really does cause our bodies to age more rapidly. It’s important to identify the causes of stress in your life and explore how to lessen them.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Ask yourself how to get there

CELEBRITY CIPHER

George Moore, an Irish novelist, poet and dramatist who died in 1933, said, “A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.”

In bridge, declarer travels to and from the dummy, searching for extra tricks. In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart three.

What should declarer do?

Discuss the auction with your partner. South’s two-no-trump rebid risked North’s insisting on playing in spades, expecting at least two spades opposite. South might have made a two-heart reverse, although that would have promised at least five clubs.

South starts with seven top tricks: two hearts, one diamond and four clubs. He could hope to get very lucky in diamonds (the suit breaking 3-3 and West having the king), but that is so against the odds: a priori, 17.8 percent.

Much better is to play on spades and establish two winners there. But after winning the first trick and leading the spade queen, what does declarer do when the defenders are adroit enough to let the queen take the trick?

South needs three dummy entries.

He should cash his club king, then overtake the club eight with dummy’s jack. When everyone follows, declarer leads the spade jack.

Suppose East wins and returns a heart. South wins, overtakes the club queen with dummy’s ace and plays another spade.

West wins, cashes two hearts and shifts to a diamond to the queen, king and ace. But South travels back to the dummy by overtaking his carefully preserved club three with dummy’s four and cashes the fourth spade for his ninth trick.
