Van Yperen returns for hot dog contest, Callahan retires MORRIS – It’s time for me to fess up. I have no excuse this year for not actually eating my share of hot dogs at the Grundy Bank Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest. I have no wedding dress to fit in, I’m not pregnant, and the truth is, I love hot dogs. It’s just that I’m pretty picky about them. My dogs need to be Vienna Beef, Chicago style, and I prefer them grilled. It’s not that I don’t want to try those appetizing, cold, boiled hot dogs stacked on the plate in front of me every year. It’s just that I get one bite in and I get distracted wishing for tomatoes, onion, and celery salt and before I know it, the time is up and Sheriff Kevin Callahan has already stuffed five dogs in. Despite the fact that I have no chance in heck at winning the eating contest, I will once again fight to keep my fundraising champion title at this Friday’s Brown Bag lunch, where once again 10 of us will compete for our chosen charities. I am eating in the name of United Way of Grundy County
COMMUNITY PULSE CHRISTINA CHAPMAN-VAN YPEREN again this year. Executive Director Karen Nall and Associate Director Cindy Perryman are joining me in collecting your generous donations toward our organization. Last year we raised nearly $2,000 – a large number to try to meet again, but we will do our best and hope you all will support us. Those who donate to me at the event earn a raffle ticket toward the chance to win a bowling night at Echo Lanes in Morris. If that isn’t enough of an incentive, I have another special prize in store – an appearance by the baby formerly known as BVY (Baby Van Yperen), now known as Richard. I’m not ashamed to use my son’s adorableness to help a good cause. I’m willing to make my son’s cuteness available for pictures with donors in return for donations. He’s pretty darn cute
LOOKING UP
people. Trust me, you won’t be able to resist. Richard and I have honed my eating strategy. We practice every morning, and although he makes an effort, he keeps pushing his hot dogs off his high chair tray, much like I have tried to put my hot dogs on Callahan’s plate in the past. Unfortunately, I can’t pass on my dogs to Callahan this year. After eating a record seven dogs last year, Callahan has decided to retire from the game. “Well, for this year. Hey, all athletes come out of retirement before the end of their career,” Callahan said. He hopes by stepping away from the contest he might spike some new interest, since people won’t be intimidated by his mad eating skills. In his place will be Deputy Chad Hrechko, who is eating for the Grundy County Sheriff’s Explorers program. “Chad’s a pretty good eater. He might have a chance at doing well,” Callahan said. “I’m not giving him any tips. He’ll have to do it on his own. It took me a lot of years. He’ll
have to come up with his own strategy.” Hrechko admits he has big shoes to fill, but is setting his goals high. “I plan on winning both [contests],” he said. “I’m going to try and eat more than he did. I’m going to make a name for myself. I’m going to be famous.” Big words for a newcomer Chad, but hey, we know that he’ll eat more than me. Each contestant is raising money and eating for their own charity, so everyone wins really. Whoever eats the most wins a $250 donation to their charity from Grundy Bank. And whoever wins the fundraising contest also wins a $250 donation to their charity. As is the case every year, contestants cannot collect money prior to the event. All donations must be made from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday on the courthouse lawn. The eating contest is at 12:30 p.m. So please come on out, have some lunch, and support me and the United Way. I mean all of the contestants and their charities, of course.

Relay for Life events celebrate 30 years with ’80s theme By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Games of Twister and ’80s pop music came together for an 80s throwback celebrating the 30 years of Relay for Life events sponsored by the American Cancer Society. One family at the relay made heads turn as they walked the track and played Twister with underwear over their shorts. Their shirts had arrows pointing down saying “screen this,” to remember their daughter, sister and aunt who lost their battles with colon cancer. Ronette Clubb was only 30 years old when she passed, leaving three daughters, Gabby, Hannah and Jessica Clubb. The girls, along with their grandmother Trudy Poyner, aunt Becki Claypool and several other family members, have been walking since Ronette was diagnosed in 2002. She battled colon cancer for three years and lost in 2005. “We wear our underwear to let people know they need to be screened. We write ‘never too young to be screened’ [on the T-shirts] because insurance companies will fight people saying they are too young to
be screened,” Claypool said. Eleven teams and more than 70 people gathered from 2 p.m. to midnight Saturday at the Morris Community High School field house to walk and celebrate and remember those affected by cancer. Panning the room it looked similar to any other gathering, but looking deeper, each person had a story, either a personal battle with cancer or a struggle by a loved one. Kristy Shipton and Mary Jo Hutchings of Morris are captains of the “Stitch in up a Cure” team, as well as breast cancer survivors. “I found my breast cancer myself, and it was a stage 0 at that time. I had a lumpectomy and radiation and have been cancer free since,” Shipton said. “I walk because just before my episode, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and did radiation also. Her cancer came back, and she passed three years ago.” Another success story was that of Karen Reihel of Channahon. She said her son saved her life. “I took my son to the derAllison Selk for Shaw Media matologist to have his skin checked and I mentioned a Jessica Clubb of Mazon helps her cousin Blake Claypool of Dwight during an ’80s throwback game of Twist-

UP CLOSE Kiwanis Club reads to students MORRIS – Morris Kiwanis Club members go to White Oak Elementary School, Saratoga Elementary School, Immaculate Conception School and Nettle Creek School three times a year to read to the students. The club members read to students in kindergarten and first grade at White Oak and Saratoga, and to kindergarten through second-graders at Nettle Creek and ICS. Those same students received two free books Wednesday as part of the Morris Kiwanis Club literacy program.

County addressing Morris to vote on vacant seat Council also to findings of audit vote on medical Treasurer has filed response for IMRF By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County Treasurer Lori Werden filed her response Friday to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund regarding the findings IMRF detailed in an April 29 audit. Werden prepared a response to all nine findings, which she presented May 11 to the Grundy County Board Finance committee. The committee decided to table the issue until Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland and his office could review the laws involved. Helland told the committee he needed to research a resolution in response to a finding regarding the number of hours elected board members put in on an annual basis. This issue was brought up in April when board members found out they may not be eligible for IMRF benefits because they do not meet the required 1,000 hours of work. “The resolution to rescind a 2002 agreement that gave board members IMRF was passed at the Finance Committee meeting on Wednesday night and will be voted on by the full board at the June 9 meeting,” Werden said. The resolution was the last of the responses Werden was waiting on to file the response by the May 29 deadline. “The treasurer’s office worked hard crafting the responses and took action,” Grundy County Board Vice Chairman David Nelson said Friday. “It puts the county in a better place as a result.” In addition to the resolution, six dispatchers will be removed from participation in the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Personnel plan and put into IMRF effective immediately. “I sent the responses to IMRF and moved six employees from SLEP to IMRF today,” Werden said. The six employees of the dispatch center who previously were deputized under former

Sheriff Terry Marketti, and who were again deputized in January 2013, were not deputized by Sheriff Kevin Callahan when he was elected in 2014. In order to participate in the SLEP plan, they must be deputized. Werden said her office will change retroactively through the date Callahan was elected and make adjustments to reported wages and will refund the employee directly after receiving the credit through IMRF. Callahan said previously that he did not deputize the employees once he was elected because they were not under the control and direction of the sheriff’s office any longer.
marijuana dispensary By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris City Council agenda for Monday night features expenditure items, an important decision regarding city leadership and whether to allow the opening of a medical marijuana dispensary. But first, Mayor Richard Kopczick will make a request during the meeting Monday night, recommending a new Second Ward Alderman to fill the vacant seat left by the recently-retired Ken Sereno. The appointment will be voted on by city council. If the nomination is approved, the replacement will take the open seat immediately and be allowed to vote on agenda items. The Grundy County Republican Central Committee has submitted a nomination of David Valdivia to the council for the alderman seat.
The mayor and council are not required to choose the party’s nomination. The most-discussed topic of late stems from last week’s Planning Commission meeting. On Wednesday, the Morris Planning Commission voted, 4-1, to recommend a conditional permitted use permit to Greenhouse Group LLC, which moved the matter on to the full City Council. Greenhouse Group wants to open a medical marijuana dispensary facility in the former Rockwell Inn restaurant on Route 6. The majority of the more than 30 people who attended Wednesday’s public hearing were opposed to the location. Kopczick said the permit will require a simple majority vote for approval. It would require either five out of eight “Yes” votes if a new Second Ward alderman is named, or four out of seven as the council currently stands. The only reason a greater vote would be required is if a petition objecting to the permit is filed. As of Friday, Kopczick said no petition had been filed. A petition would require

The city budgeted $250,000 for a new one, but the city has been quoted a price of $232,000 for a vehicle that would take 200 days to receive, Kopczick said. “We have to keep storm drains and our neighborhoods clean,” Kopczick said. The city also has budgeted out of its TIF district funds for the purchase of a parking lot at the northwest corner of Jackson and Franklin streets. The Finance and Administration Committee is to make a recommendation regarding approval and execution of a purchase contract for the property, which is privately owned.

Continued from page 3 spot on my back that had been bothering me to the doctor,” Karen said. Husband Frank Reihel said it was scary when the doctor told the couple that the results of Karen’s biopsy weren’t in yet, but that the doctor had been doing this long enough to know it was melanoma. “We were told to prepare ourselves for what was about to happen,” Frank said. Karen had surgery, but three years later, the cancer returned, this time in the lymph nodes in her left arm pit. She has surgery to remove the lymph nodes and an aggressive treatment plan. “I had an intravenous treatment every day for a month, then shots three times a week for nine months. I was supposed to have it for 11 months, but the shots made me so sick, I couldn’t continue,” Karen said. Frank said it was awful seeing his wife go through this ordeal. “She would get very
sick from the shots, and then feel better the next day, only to have a shot the next day and repeat the process.” Karen is back to feeling good and wants to remind people to use sunscreen and to get regular checks at the dermatologist. During the relay there were different themed events for the participants. Events such as a duct tape and newspaper fashion show, Cubs v. Sox lap, ’80s lap, a Road to Recovery lap and a fun ’80s game of Twister. Pharmacist for the Joliet Oncology-Hematology Associates Morris Oncology office, Danny Olszta of Manhattan, was precisely slicing and dicing his cardboard box to create a car for the Road to Recovery cardboard car lap and race. Olszta is a rookie to the relay, but wanted to come to support the cause. “It’s good to see patients [who] I see at work, here and doing well. I have a chance to talk and get to know them, and hopefully, I won’t see them around the pharmacy for a while because they are doing better,” Olszta said.
remember our friend Billy Jo and reflect,” Morris resident Stacy McCarthy said. Carrie Robinette, community manager for the American Cancer Society, said the end of the night is the somber part of the event and a time for personal reflection. “It’s a special and intimate time of the day. People sit and reflect on favorite moments and what we all just did as a group. We are all close, like a family at these events,” Robinette said.

We Care’s fifth financial skills academy has successful season MORRIS HERALD–NEWS MORRIS – Seven participants completed the fifth season of the Financial Skills Academy through We Care of Grundy County on May 20. “We had such a dedicated group. It was so wonderful to see them interact not only with the class instructors, but how they tried to help each other with their own stories of successes,” Denise Gaska of We Care said in a news release. Since this event, new We Care Executive Director Eric Fisher has taken over. The goal of the Financial Skills Academy is to teach financial literacy to We Care clients interested in learning how to improve their financial status. Every other week since March 4, a sponsor taught a unit of the financial literacy curriculum to participants. Units covered such topics as tax preparation, budgeting, proper use of credit, insurance needs and how to own your own home. Participants who completed five of six classes were entered in a drawing to receive up to $700 toward one month’s rent. Gift cards for $50 in gas and $50 in groceries were given to the remainder of the
class participants. Dinner was provided before each class to the participants and their children. We Care volunteers provided child care during the class, according to a news release. “We tried to remove all possible barriers to regular attendance for the clients,” Gaska said.. “Thanks to sponsorships from United Way of Grundy County and our bank sponsors we were able to provide wonderful meals for the attendees. A special thank you to Stephanie Coleman of Standard Bank for teaching the class twice.” Banks that participated this session of were Standard Bank, Grundy Bank, First Midwest Bank and The Private Bank. Paul Zabel, a local CPA, shared information about filing income taxes and tax incentives for low-income families. We Care asked the class participants to fill out an evaluation form. All of the participants believe their financial literacy improved. Four out of the six participants rated their confidence in financial matters as a two on a scale of one to five prior to the class beginning. At the completion of the class, those four participants all rated their financial confi-

Beau Biden, son of vice president, dies at 46 By RANDALL CHASE The Associated Press DOVER, Delaware – He was the privileged son of a longtime U.S. senator and two-term vice president, yet Joseph R. “Beau” Biden III was no stranger to personal adversity. When he was only 3, just weeks after his father, Joe Biden, had been elected to the Senate, the younger Biden was seriously injured in a 1972 car crash that killed his mother and infant sister. His father was sworn into office at his hospital bedside. As a young college student, not long after his father’s 1987 presidential campaign imploded among allegations of plagiarism, he was back in the hospital, holding vigil with other family members as Joe Biden underwent surgery for a life-threatening aneurysm. And after launching his own successful political career, Beau Biden was dogged by health problems. In 2010, he suffered a mild stroke at the age of 41. On Saturday, Beau Biden died of brain cancer, less than two years after he was diagnosed. He was 46. Although twice elected attorney general, the younger Biden never realized the dream of many Delaware political observers that he would follow in his father’s footsteps as a U.S. senator, and perhaps even become governor. Biden did, in fact, plan to run for governor in 2016. He made the announcement in an April 2014 email to supporters in which he also noted he would not seek re-election as Delaware attorney general. The announcement caught Delaware’s political establishment off guard, and also

In the ensuing months, he kept a low public profile and declined news media requests for interviews. “I think he would have run. I think he would have won,” said Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, a fellow Democrat. Markell said he last spoke to Biden in February, when he invited him to a meeting of Democratic governors in Washington, D.C. “He was serious” about running for governor, added New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon, a longtime friend and political ally of Joe Biden who described Beau Biden as the most popular politician in Delaware. “He thought he was going to win this battle.” Gordon said he last spoke to Beau several weeks ago, when Biden participated in a conference call on crime issues in Wilmington. “He was a rock star,” Gordon said. “He had a great im-
age, great character.” President Barack Obama said he and his wife, Michelle, were grieving alongside the Biden family. “Michelle and I humbly pray for the good Lord to watch over Beau Biden, and to protect and comfort his family here on Earth,” Obama said in a separate statement. The Obamas visited the vice president and his family at their official residence, the Naval Observatory, on Sunday afternoon. After leaving office earlier this year, Biden joined a Delaware law firm run by Stuart Grant, a prominent Democratic campaign donor and plaintiffs lawyer specializing in corporate litigation. The law firm announced late last month that Biden was expanding his work on behalf of whistleblower clients, but Biden was not available for comment. Biden, a University of Pennsylvania graduate,

earned a law degree from Syracuse University in 1994. He served as a law clerk for a federal judge in New Hampshire before working for the U.S. Department of Justice from 1995 until 2002, including five years as a federal prosecutor in Philadelphia. In 2001, he volunteered for an interim assignment helping to train judges and prosecutors in postwar Kosovo. With his father, then Delaware’s senior U.S. senator, at his side in 2006, Biden launched his campaign for attorney general. He promised to reorganize the state Department of Justice to better combat identity theft, Internet stalking by pedophiles, street crime and abuse of the elderly. Politically astute, photogenic and backed by his father’s political machine, Biden won with 52.6 percent of the vote. “He’s supped at this table since he’s been 3 years old,” a beaming Joe Biden said after the victory. Beau Biden was a toddler when his father was first elected to the Senate. During the campaign, however, the younger Biden sidestepped questions about his ultimate political ambitions. “Sometimes, it’s not good to look too far down the road,” said Biden, who remained similarly cautious about discussing his long-range plans in an interview with The Associated Press after suffering the stroke in 2010. “Having long-term dreams is a good thing ... but having a plan has never worked for me, because life always intervenes,” Biden told the AP at the time. For Biden, his initial health scare also was a reminder to balance his job with family time – advice he encouraged others to follow.

Oldest Cubs player Lennie Merullo dies at age 98 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Lennie Merullo, the oldest former member of the Chicago Cubs and the last living person to play for them in the World Series, died Saturday. He was 98. Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said in a statement that Merullo died earlier in the day. The team didn’t include details of Merullo’s death. Merullo was a major league shortstop from 1941-47, all with the Cubs. He hit .240 with six home runs and 152 RBIs. Merullo played three games in the 1945 World Series and went 0 for 2. The Cubs lost in seven games to Detroit, and haven’t made it back to the Series since then. Last June, Merullo traveled from his home in Massachusetts and returned to Wrigley Field as part of the ballpark’s 100th celebration. Wearing a Cubs jersey, he used a walker to go from his wheelchair toward the mound and threw out the first ball before the Cubs played the Marlins, getting a big cheer from the fans. During the seventh-inning stretch, he took part in Wrigley Field tradition and sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” over the stadium’s sound system and drew another big ovation. Merullo recalled that after the 1945 Series, the Cubs imagined they’d make it back soon enough. “Yeah, sure,” he said. “We never gave up hope.”

Weather in spring makes life interesting One of the things that makes life interesting for a sports writer in the spring is the weather. You look at the schedule and try to plan your week, but sometimes Mother Nature has other plans. Such was the case Saturday, and at one of the most inopportune times. Most of the Class 3A and 4A baseball and softball regional championship games, as well as sectional championships in Class 1A and 2A, were forced to be postponed by wet weather across the state. The boys state track and field meet in Charleston had a lightning delay, and some of the field events had to be completed in the Eastern Illinois University fieldhouse. There is no perfect solution when that situation arises, and every case must be dealt with individually. Even though most other games in a certain area may be called off, another area might have a window in which to get a game in. The Internet and the ease with which those in charge can view a weather system makes finding those windows easier. Also, with social media, announcements regarding gaves being played or not, or game times being moved forward or back, can be more quickly decided. One of the options available during the weekend was to just move the game ahead a day, as was the case in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East softball regional. Minooka took part in that one, and the Indians saw their season end in a 7-0 loss Friday to the Griffins, who were not only the highest seed in the regional, but also the 20-team Joliet Central Sectional. Morris’ softball game against LaSalle-Peru at the Class 3A Ottawa Regional was moved back from an 11 a.m. start to 2 p.m., and the Redskins and Cavaliers almost got a full inning in. The expected window of relief from the rain never came. Although the field looked to be in surprisingly good shape at the start of the game, the steady rain that kept falling saturated the infield dirt to the point of being unplayable.
VIEWS Rob Oesterle That was no one’s fault. As Morris coach Jen Lowery pointed out, “You can’t always predict the weather.” Now, that game will be made up Monday night at 6 with L-P leading 1-0 and Morris having runners on second and third with one out and a 2-0 count on cleanup hitter Ashley Phelps. The winner is scheduled to play at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the semifinals of the Morris Sectional. There has been talk – and it’s just in the idea stage right now, nothing definite – that, since schools aren’t in session, maybe that Tuesday game will be moved to Wednesday at 2 p.m., with the originally scheduled 4:30 p.m. Wednesday game being played at its regularly scheduled time. It will depend on the team that wins the Kankakee Regional – either Lincoln-Way West or Joliet Catholic – agreeing to that scenario. It would make sense, as they would avoid having to play on back-to-back days. The other teams involved in the Morris Sectional will be Peotone and the winner of the Oak Forest Regional, either Oak Forest or Tinley Park, who play Monday at 4. The winners of the two semifinals will play Saturday at 11 for the sectional title, with the champion moving on to the Illinois Wesleyan University Super Sectional. Weather-permitting, of course.
Henry to Canada
Earlier this month, Morris graduate Kevin Henry, who started at offensive tackle for Central Michigan University’s football team for the last two seasons, tried his luck at rookie mini-camp for both the Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Chargers. He wasn’t signed by either team, but his dream of playing professional football will not go unfulfilled. Henry signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League, and began training camp Sunday.

BELOW: Morris third baseman Ryan Friend and the Redskins will resume their suspended game against LaSalle-Peru on Monday at 6 p.m. Last Sunday, he turned in the longest outing of his young career, throwing 7 2⁄3 innings in a win over Milwaukee. He allowed only three hits and one earned run over the span and walked just one while striking out seven. Then, on Friday, he threw 6 2⁄3 innings in a loss to San Francisco. He again only walked one batter and struck out eight. After 10 walks in his first three starts, he has had just one walk in each of his last three. In 36 1⁄3 innings, he has 38 strikeouts and 13 walks to go with a 3-2 record and 3.96 ERA.

AREA ROUNDUP
STAFF REPORTS CHARLESTON – Both Seneca’s Ross McCormick and Minooka’s Peter Andreano were entered in multiple events at this weekend’s IHSA state boys track and field meet. Both came away with second-place finishes in their specialties, as McCormick, a junior, took second in the Class 1A 1,600-meter run with a time of 4:23.86 and Andreano took second in the Class 3A high jump, clearing 6 feet 8 inches. They both came home with two medals, as Andreano was seventh in the long jump (22-3.5), while McCormick finished eighth in the 3,200 (9:54.44). “My two mile was one of my worst times of the year but I was still happy to get a medal,” McCormick said. “I changed all of my focus on the mile after that because I was kind of disappointed. I put it all into the mile and was happy to do my best and I finished second. I’ve got improvement to make, so I’ll have a good summer and come back next year.” Andreano was hoping that his fourth trip to state in the high jump would produce not only his first medal, but also a state championship. But while the Minooka senior fell just short of that goal after placing second in the event which also got moved indoors, he wasn’t disappointed. Andreano turned in a jump of 6-8 to finish one inch shy of Oak Park River Forest’s Kenny Brown in high jump. Minooka athletes had only won five medals in field events and only two in jumps. Scott Moss is the only other Indian to win two field field event medals, doing so in 2001. “Last year I qualified in high jump and long jump but didn’t make it to the finals so I knew that there was more conditioning that I had to do to better prepare myself,” Andreano said. “This year went really well, and I think that I balanced both pretty good. “I wanted to win high jump

WHITE SOX
Danks surprises with complete-game shutout By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com HOUSTON – The White Sox don’t need John Danks to throw complete-game shutouts, but if that’s what he wants to do, why, go ahead. As the starter with the least imposing stuff behind Chris Sale, Jeff Samardzija, Jose Quintana and Carlos Rodon in the rotation, the Sox would be happy to have Danks be an innings eater who pitches well enough to keep his team in the game. So Sunday’s complete game shutout, the third of his career and first since the left-hander reinvented himself after having shoulder surgery in 2012, was above and beyond the call of duty. But the Sox will take it. Danks’ 10-hit, one-walk, six-strikeout goose egg in a 6-0 victory not only gave the Sox a series win over the American League West division leading Houston Astros at a place where Danks, a native Texan,
“It’s nice to have [15-20] friends and family and people who care about me here. I hadn’t had a whole lot of luck with family in town, so maybe I broke that curse, too. Very satisfying to have a good game and get a win.” John Danks, White Sox pitcher
was 0-2 with a 9.28 ERA, it gives the bullpen a welcome two-day rest with Monday’s off day. The Sox (23-26) will go to Arlington, Texas, with a 4-4 record on a difficult four-city, 11-game road trip. They’ll have Sale, Samardzija and Rodon lined up. “That’s fun,” said Danks (3-4, 4.81 ERA), who threw the first Sox shutout since Sale blanked the Los Angeles Angels on May 12, 2013. “I hadn’t been back in Texas since Christmas. It’s nice to have [15-20] friends and family and people who care about me here. I hadn’t had a whole lot of luck with family in town, so maybe I broke that curse, too.
Very satisfying to have a good game and get a win.” Danks enjoyed early run support and pitched his first complete-game since 2011. Three double plays, crisp infield defense, over-aggressive Astros base running, an early RBI by Tyler Flowers and Conor Gillaspie (two RBIs) were big on a the second straight day without slugger Jose Abreu (finger). “I feel like I didn’t give in at any point,” said Danks, who threw 118 pitches. “I was able to throw pitches for strikes any time. Kept the ball in the ballpark. That’s a big thing for me this season: walks and home runs. Limited both and it worked out. Did my best to
pound the zone low and let the defense work for me.” Danks had a better day than Astros third base coach Gary Pettis. When Jonathan Villar tripled over Adam Eaton’s head leading off the fifth with the Sox leading, 4-0, Pettis waved Villar home but Eaton, after running up the slope all the way to the center field wall, quickly got the ball in to shortstop Alexei Ramirez, whose relay to Flowers beat Villar by several steps for the first out of the inning. In the seventh Villar rounded third too far after second baseman Carlos Sanchez ranged to his right on Jason Castro’s infield single and was caught in a rundown.
Danks tagged him for the third out and enjoyed a short walk to the visitors dugout. Manager Robin Ventura visited Danks after he allowed a one-out double to Evan Gattis and walked Chris Carter in the ninth. “Just making sure he was all right,” Ventura said of Danks, who was at 116 pitches. “He definitely wanted to stay in there. But you’re just making sure he’s fine and not fatiguing at that point. He’s a tough kid, so he wanted it.” A grounder to Sanchez, who tagged Carter and threw to first to end the game, made Danks the first Sox to pitch a shutout with 10 or more hits since Stan Bahnsen on June 21, 1973. The last major leaguer to do it was the Twins’ Carlos Silva on Aug. 3, 2004. “All the way around, it was good,” Ventura said. “We got some timely hitting. When you get a guy who goes out, scatters some hits, doesn’t give up anything and pitches nine, it’s always good.”

OPINION
17 Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com • Monday, June 1, 2015
Bernie Sanders is Hillary’s left scout Is Bernie Sanders pulling Hillary Clinton to the Left? No, for the same reason a canoe doesn’t pull an aircraft carrier. The Vermont socialist running in the Democratic presidential race is currently at 7.4 percent in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls, versus Clinton’s 64.2 percent. Clinton is in fact moving leftward on issues like immigration, gay marriage, inequality and more, but it’s not because she’s feeling the heat from a little-known competitor. Still, Sanders is staking out a role as the forward scout of the Democratic Left, going public with wish list plans to make the federal government even more massive, even more expensive, and even more intrusive. Just look at something known among progressives as “debt-free college.” The idea is that all young people deserve a government guarantee that they can graduate from college without debt, a result accomplished either by outright grants or cheap loans. Clinton is moving toward the idea. Earlier this month, her campaign manager, Robby Mook, thrilled progressives when he said in a TV interview that “what voters are looking for in this election is someone who’s going to be a champion for everyday people – for young people, that’s debtfree college.” Government-guaranteed debt-free college is a step beyond President Barack Obama’s free community college program. But this week, Sanders trumped them all with two new bills – the “College for All Act” and its companion, “The Inclusive Prosperity Act of 2015” – that would eliminate undergraduate tuition at all public
THE FIRST
AMENDMENT
VIEWS Byron York colleges and universities. Under Sanders’ plan, college would be free for all, everywhere, paid for by the government in a program Sanders estimates would cost taxpayers more than $70 billion a year, or somewhere around $750 billion over the next decade. How to pay for a new, nearly Obamacare-sized federal program? By imposing a “speculation fee” on Wall Street. “Right now, you have people who are becoming phenomenally wealthy by speculating in derivatives and every other type of esoteric instrument that they can,” Sanders said recently on CNN. “People are getting very rich on Wall Street. We’re going to impose what exists in dozens of countries around the world, a modest tax on the transference of large amounts of stock.” Would Clinton go the full Sanders and advocate free tuition for all? Probably not, but it would not be a surprise if, now that Sanders has gotten the more radical idea out there, Clinton moves a bit further left than some expected. Right now, the only constraint on Clinton is what will pass with voters in the general election. And she appears to believe the Obama years have moved things considerably leftward of where they were in 2008. Given that, Bernie Sanders’ role is not so much to pull Clinton to the left as to show her how far she can go.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD
SUDOKU
BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
Where is the queen? With east or west?
CELEBRITY CIPHER
Louis L’Amour, an author primarily of Western novels (although he called them frontier stories), said, “If you write a book about a bygone period that lies east of the Mississippi River, then it’s a historical novel. If it’s west of the Mississippi, it’s a Western, a different category. There’s no sense to it.” But we can understand it. In today’s deal, South might wonder who holds the diamond queen: East or West? South is in six spades. After West leads the club queen, how should declarer continue? In the auction, South’s four-spade jump-rebid is called a superaccept. It shows a maximum, four- or five-card support and a doubleton somewhere. Faced with an unavoidable club loser because of the mirror distribution, an inexperienced player would wonder about the diamond queen. But a sharpshooter will know that there is no sense in thinking about it. Instead, declarer should arrange an elimination and endplay – our theme for the week. There are three key points for declarer: Draw trumps, but have at least one left in each hand to benefit from a ruff-and-sluff. Eliminate all of the cards in two of the side suits. Have an opponent on lead, so that when he leads the third side suit, it helps declarer to gain a trick or save a guess. In this deal, South wins with dummy’s club ace, draws trumps, and cashes his three heart winners. Then he casts adrift with his last club. Whichever defender takes the trick is endplayed, forced either to lead a diamond, finding the queen for declarer, or to play a heart or club, conceding a ruff-and-sluff.

Menopausal hot f lashes last longer than once thought Dear Dr. K: I just experienced my first, full-blown menopausal hot flash. It was awful. How long can I expect hot flashes to continue? Dear Reader: Your question reminds me of a patient I saw when I had recently finished my training. (Believe it or not, I was even younger then than I am now.) She said she had come to see me because of hot flashes. Then she said: “I had heard about hot flashes since I was a girl, and I thought I knew what to expect. But you can’t really imagine it until you’ve experienced it.” I told her I had treatments that could help reduce her symptoms until they went away on their own. She asked me how long that would take,
ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and I repeated what I had been taught – and what was in the textbooks: “A few years.” Twenty years later, she was still having hot flashes. When she informed me of this, she added: “In my dictionary, doctor, 20 is more than ‘a few’ years.” By that time, I knew this patient was not unique; I had seen plenty others like her. So I asked myself: Who are you going to believe, your textbook or your patients? It seemed to me the patients must be right. But I also knew
doctors wouldn’t believe it until there was a scientific study of the question. The problem was none of my colleagues seemed interested in doing the study, because “everyone knows that hot flashes just last a few years.” That’s how important discoveries don’t get made, and people suffer as a result. Thankfully, someone finally did the study, and the textbooks are in for a change. The data were collected from a long-term (13 years thus far) women’s health study. The study focused on 1,449 women who were asked every year about having hot flashes and night sweats. Half of the women reported symptoms for more than sev-
en years. The younger they were when symptoms started, the longer they tended to last. More than half of women who began having hot flashes when they still were having periods had symptoms for nearly 12 years or longer. If symptoms started only after menopause had begun, they lasted about three years. To be included in this study, women had to have had frequent symptoms. So it’s possible women with less frequent symptoms would have reported having them for fewer years. In other words, it may not be that half of all women entering menopause continue to have hot flashes seven years later. But the study shows that plenty do.
For some women, hot flashes are a minor annoyance. For others, they severely disrupt quality of life. Just as that first patient I saw said she really didn’t understand what hot flashes were until she had experienced them, I’m sure we male physicians (and premenopausal female physicians) don’t really understand them either. In tomorrow’s column, I’ll talk about some of the medical treatments and “home remedies” that can relieve the severity of hot flashes.
