MORRIS – You never get a second chance to make a first impression. You’ve heard this expression 1,000 times and usually heed its warning.

Maybe you wear a classic (usually blue) suit for a job interview or hold the door for your date, etc.

But do you carry this expression over into your business? I suspect that we more often spend more time worrying about the end product, so we lose sight of the impression we make on current and potential customers or the company’s image.

Take this story for example: Imagine you have a rocking chair that is considered a family heirloom. You’ve given it a special place in your home and in your heart.

When it comes time to have it refinished you ask a friend for a referral. You try to learn a little more about them, but their website has a glitch and is “under construction.” You decide to proceed and take the chair in.

COVER STORY Not quite washed up

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Despite high temperatures Sunday afternoon, the Morris City Pool was empty of people – and full of muddy water.

Because of heavy rainfall Saturday the East Fork Nettle Creek swelled to flood stages, filling low-lying areas behind homes and at the public swimming pool.

“When we can open back up all depends on the creek,” Jim Hitchcock, manager of the Morris City Pool, said Sunday afternoon. “We’ve pulled out all the pumps and anything that could be damaged and we’re just waiting on the creek now.”

A spokesman at National Weather Service in Romeoville on Sunday said the agency had reports of 3.5 to 4.5 inches of rain Saturday night, and had seen social media postings of much higher, which he said was possible.

The National Weather Service issued Sunday morning a flood warning for the Illinois River at Morris. The warning remains in effect until Tuesday evening, according to the weather service.

The river was at 14.8 feet as of 9:45 a.m. Sunday and was ex-

by Monday morning. The river is expected to fall below flood stage by Tuesday afternoon.

Another flood advisory was issued Sunday for the Kankakee River near Wilmington, which is in effect until Wednesday evening.

The river was at 5.6 feet as of 9:45 a.m. Sunday; flood stage is 6.5 feet.

The river is expected to rise to near 5.7 feet by early Monday, then slowly recede. At 5 feet, minor lowland flooding begins of areas immediately adjacent to the river.

And more rain could be on the way: The National Weath-

er Service predicts thunderstorms are likely Monday throughout the day, and while potential exists for damaging winds, the primary hazard looks to be heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding.

Goold Park, it frequently floods after heavy rainfall – a problem he feels could be fixed if there was funding and approval to place a berm along the north end of the pool property along the creek.

“If we could get some type of berm, if engineers who understand flood plains could examine and see what we could put there, it would give us much more wiggle room,” Hitchcock said.

The Morris City Pool wasn’t the only part of town under water Sunday. On west Route 6 near the Morris Country Club, signs sat on the road Sunday afternoon warning motorists of water on the roadway. The water had since receded, but Kristen Torkelson, who lives west of the signs, said water was across the roadway Saturday night.

As she sat watching the Blackhawks game she noticed water coming up toward her home, and by the end of the game she noticed water was creeping up on all four sides of her home. It also was pouring into her basement from the window wells.

“The water just came down too fast,” she said. “We got about an inch and a half of

6 Ken Sereno open house set Wednesday

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Ken Sereno resigned May 4 from his seat as a 2nd Ward alderman after 34 years of service on the Morris City Council.

Through the years, he’s remained humble.

“We talked about it, and he was surprised they decided to hold something for him,” said Joan, Sereno’s wife of 63 years. Ken Sereno The city of Morris is hosting an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. Wednesday for Ken Sereno in the community room of the Morris Municipal Services Facility, 700 N. Division St. Cake and refreshments will be provided, and people can come and go as they please, Morris City Clerk Carol Adair said.

“He’s given his all to this city,” Adair said. “It’s a nice opportunity to express gratitude for his dedicated service.”

In 34 years, one might think there would be times when Sereno wanted to walk away.

But he said that wasn’t the case.

“I didn’t think of City Council as a job,” Sereno said.

“I always enjoyed it. I’ve met a lot of people and made a lot of memories.”

When he wasn’t at meetings or talking to folks in his ward and beyond, Sereno owned and operated Sereno Blacksmith Shop and Sereno’s Ace Hardware in Morris for 48 years.

Sereno has been active with Grundy County Historical Society and has authored books on the history of Grundy County, since he retired

from Ace Hardware in 1995.

Joan Sereno, executive director of Grundy Community Volunteer Hospice for 20 years, said being involved in the community where they raised their son, Gary, has always been important to them.

Joan Sereno said she never told her husband to leave politics alone, or what he should do with his career. And he never told her to stop working.

“We’ve always encouraged each other,” Joan Sereno said.

“That’s what it’s all about.”

Sereno joked that he’s served long enough to have a party.

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For the first time, Morris Community High School student registration will be completely online.

Online fee payment and registration for the 2015-16 school year on MorrisHS.org will be open from July 29 to Aug. 14.

District 101 Superintendent Pat Halloran said some schools have had completely online registration for several years.

“We made online registration available last year and it went pretty smooth,” he said.

“We’re trying to make it more convenient for parents and guardians.”

Instructions for the online registration process will be mailed July 15 to student homes.

If applicants don’t have Internet access or are not comfortable registering a student from home, they can complete

the process at the Morris High School computer lab from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 6.

Assistance will be provided in the lab by principal secretary Corri Trotter and others, Halloran said. The exit packet and school calendar will be available for parents to view, download or print during the online registration time frame.

Parents can pay student(s’) past balance, book fee ($150), IHSA fee ($50) and MealTime deposits during online fee payment and registration through E-Pay / MealTime.

Class schedules and textbooks will be picked up from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 6 and 8 a.m. to noon Aug. 14 in the library.

If online fee payment and registration has been completed, the parent or guardian is not required to come with the student(s) to pick up their class schedule and textbooks.

The first day of class is Aug. 18.

Continued from page 3 water in the basement and there was four inches of water standing in each window well.”

On Sunday afternoon her basement was drying out but couches sat stacked on each other on top of five gallon buckets to keep the water from damaging them.

Tree down

At 708 Fremont Ave. in Morris a large oak tree toppled over just behind Sonja Torkelson, who was walking from her home at Saratoga Tower to a friend’s house on

Fremont Avenue.

“I was walking on the sidewalk and heard a loud crack,” she said. “I looked and watched the whole tree come down and saw the bulb of roots come up.”

She said if it fell just 30 seconds sooner it would have landed on top of her – but that isn’t what scared her.

“All I could think was it could have hit a car, I was concerned about it taking someone else’s life,” she said.

Neighbors who were standing in the yard examining the downed tree said the homeowners were out of town, but the police were able to contact them to let them know what they were coming home to.

John Carroll of LA Times dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS LEXINGTON, Ky. – John S. Carroll, former editor of the Baltimore Sun and the Los Angeles Times, which won 13 Pulitzer Prizes during his fiveyear tenure, has died.

He was 73.

Carroll died Sunday morning at his home in Lexington, Kentucky, where he was once editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader, said his wife, Lee Carroll. He had been suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, a rare and debilitating neurological disorder.

Carroll was editor and senior vice president at the Baltimore Sun from 1991 until 2000, when he took the head position at the Times that would become his last journalism job in a career spanning 40 years.

His years at the Times were considered a high point in the paper’s recent history, and he and his managing editor Dean Baquet, who would succeed Carroll there and go on to lead The New York Times, were given credit for reviving newsroom morale after a 1999 issue of the paper’s Sunday magazine whose revenue sharing agreement with the new downtown Staples Center arena became an ethical crisis and source of discord.

The paper’s 13 Pulitzers during Carroll’s five years came after it won just eight in the 1990s. Carroll’s departure came amid increasing tensions over newsroom budget cuts and the paper’s direction with corporate owner, the Tribune Company.

He received a standing ovation from the staff when he an-

Born in New York and raised in North Carolina and Washington, D.C., Carroll graduated from Haverford College in Pennsylvania in 1963 and took his first job as a reporter for the Providence Journal in Rhode Island.

He served two years in the Army and in 1966 went to work as a reporter for the Sun, where he covered the Vietnam War and the Nixon White House. Carroll shifted to edi-

tor with a move to the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1973. He was hired by editor Gene Roberts, who successfully sought to transform that paper into a major force in journalism in the 1970s.

Carroll moved to Lexington in 1979, becoming editor at the Lexington Herald, which later became the Lexington Herald-Leader.

While there, he oversaw an investigative series titled “Cheating Our Children,” focusing on the flaws in Kentucky’s public education system and helping lead to a major series of legislative reforms in 1990.

BOSTON – Funeral arrangements for an American killed in Syria while fighting the Islamic State group have been set for later this week.

Keith Broomfield, who had no military training, is believed to be the first U.S. citizen to die fighting alongside Kurdish forces against ISIS. Broomfield, 36, of Westminster, Massachusetts, will be buried Wednesday at a private ceremony following a morning funeral at Grace Baptist Church in Hudson.

A wake will be held at the church Tuesday evening.

Broomfield, a plant manager at his family’s Boltonbased business, Broomfield Labs Inc., died June 3. His body arrived in Boston’s Logan Airport on Saturday via a Turkish Airlines plane and was taken to Tighe Hamilton

Funeral Home in Hudson.

His obituary said he died “in defense of those being persecuted for their Christian faith” and that “his heart was for the protection of the innocence of Kurdish women and children.”

Kurdish officials have said Broomfield died in battle in a Syrian village near Kobani. Hundreds of people came out to bid farewell to Broomfield before his body was handed over to his family at a Turkish border crossing.

Broomfield had joined the People’s Protection Units known as the YPG on Feb. 24 under the nom de guerre Gelhat Rumet. The YPG are the main Kurdish guerrillas battling the Islamic State group in Syria.

Broomfield’s family has said he felt compelled to fight against what he considered “evil.”

OPINION GOP sees opportunity in Hillary’s weakness At its most basic level, Hillary Clinton’s polling problem is pretty simple: Everybody knows her.

When a poll reveals that, say, 20 percent of voters have a favorable impression of Candidate A, and 30 percent have an unfavorable impression, and 50 percent don’t know enough to have any impression – well, it’s not great news, but it also says Candidate A has room to grow. He or she can work on that big group of undecideds and try to leave them with a favorable impression.

Clinton, perhaps the most famous woman in the United States, if not the world, doesn’t have that opportunity.

In the latest CNN poll of the Democratic presidential race, for example, just 3 percent said they have no opinion of her. Fifty percent said they have an unfavorable opinion her, versus 46 percent favorable. For Clinton to surpass 50 percent favorable, she will have to convince people who already know her, and who have probably known her for years, to change their opinion of her. Not an easy task.

The CNN survey, and other similar polls released recently, shows some pretty significant structural problems for Clinton. One is the yawning divide between the opinions that men and women have of her.

“Want to talk gender gaps?

She has a huge one,” notes one adviser to a Republican presidential campaign. The adviser points to several in the CNN poll: • When asked whether Clinton “cares about people like you,” 57 percent of women said yes, while just 36 percent of men said the same – a 21-point gender gap.

• When asked whether

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Byron York Clinton “inspires confidence,” 57 percent of women said yes, while just 41 percent of men said so – a 16-point gender gap.

• When asked whether Clinton “is honest and trustworthy,” 49 percent of women said yes, while just 34 percent of men agreed – a 15-point gender gap.

• When asked if they have an overall favorable or unfavorable opinion of Clinton, 54 percent of women said favorable, while just 38 percent of men said the same – a 16-point gender gap.

“Those are the definition of problematic data,” notes the GOP campaign adviser.

“Imagine the story if these numbers existed for a Republican.”

There are signs some Republicans are already benefiting. In CNN’s poll back in March, Clinton led Marco Rubio in a head-to-head matchup 55 percent to 42 percent. In the new poll, she leads Rubio 49 percent to 46 percent.

Of course, the GOP has problems of its own, but numbers like that convince Republicans they are on the right track.

“With every shoe that drops, people become more and more convinced that Hillary Clinton cannot be trusted,” says an aide at yet another GOP campaign.

“They increasingly believe she’s in this for herself, and that entrusting her with our safety and security is a really, really bad idea.”

Morris Ladies Shootout tips off Tuesday Teams to use test the waters after losing seniors to graduation

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Summer basketball season is in full swing in Morris, starting with the Gus Macker 3-on-3 Tournament last week.

This week, it’s time for the Morris Ladies Shootout, a 32-team event held at Morris Community High School for the 19th straight year.

Games tip off at 8 a.m. Tuesday and will take place each hour on four different courts.

The main gym at the high school and the three courts in the District 101 Rec Center will be used.

The 32 teams will be divided into four eight-team pools, with each pool playing round-robin on Tuesday.

The results from Tuesday will determine the matchups for Wednesday’s bracket play.

Pool A: Lincoln-Way West, Sycamore, West Aurora, Coal City; Pool B: Plainfield South, Lincoln-Way East, Metea Valley, Minooka; Pool C: Bloomington Central Catholic, Romeoville, Andrew, Kaneland; Pool D: Serena, Plainfield North, Bishop McNamara, Moline; Pool E: Annawan, Antioch, Hononegah, Erie; Pool F: Canton, Geneseo, East Aurora, Deerfield; Pool G: Ottawa, Willowbrook, Danville, Oswego; Pool H: Yorkville, Waubonsie Valley, Pleasant Plains, Morris.

“We actually had a team [Deerfield] drop out last week,” said Morris girls basketball coach Kate Carey, who also runs the event. “We are going to see if we can get another team to come. If not, we may have to have our JV team step in and play those games.

“We did have a waiting list this year, so a lot of teams want to come here. That’s nice because there are a lot more shootouts around now for peo-

ple to choose from.”

The shootout gives the Redskins a chance to see how they stack up this year.

Lost to graduation from last year’s 19-win team is the program’s all-time leading scorer, Julie Jurasits, along with starters Emily Burling, Jessica Ponce and Leona Burton and reserve Alex Kjellesvik.

Morris’ Meghan Smith defends an inbounds pass last season.

“It will be a different dynamic for our girls, for sure,” Carey said. “They will have to learn to play without looking for Julie. We have done well in our summer league so far, and we look like we will be a good defensive team. We have

some size and Mya Shannon looks good at point guard. This tournament is a good chance to see what we need to work on. I have challenged our girls that we need to develop some outside shooting, so we will be looking at that quite a bit this

week.

“We wanted to put ourselves in a pool that plays a little later in the day so that our kids’ parents could come watch. Yorkville is in our conference, so it’s not great that they are in our pool, but their last day of school is Tuesday, so they had to play later in the day, too.”

Besides Shannon as a returning starter, the Morris roster will feature Megan Smith, who saw significant playing time last year as a sophomore, as well as Jessica Jurak, Kalya Cryder, Destiny Cano, Megan Jurak and Devin Pacheco.

“Last year, we always had the luxury of looking for Julie,” Carey said. “This year, aside from Mya, no one has a clearly defined role for us yet.

It’s going to be fun to watch the girls figure it out.”

BULLS

Cleanup from Thibodeau not the only concern in coach shuffle

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com On the same day that a league source confirmed the Bulls indeed landed San Antonio assistant Jim Boylen to join the staff of newly-named head coach Fred Hoiberg, there was still some clean-up going on with the old regime.

Specifically, just how paranoid the Bulls front office was in the final weeks of the Tom Thibodeau era.

While it was reported that the front office did have security escorting Thibodeau throughout his clean-up process on the day he was fired, and eventually out of the building, there had been extra eyes on assistant coach Andy Greer and video coordinator Dice Yoshimoto for weeks.

Both were also dismissed along with Thibodeau, but it was Yoshimoto that had the organization the most concerned, as they were under the belief that he was gathering e-mails and information that, according to the source, “would embarrass a lot of people and show the level of dysfunction going on.”

“It was like some James Bond stuff going on,” the source also said on Sunday, insisting that computers and cellphones were combed through in order for the organization to try and pin down what Yoshimoto was up to.

The source said that while there was believed to be nothing significant found by the front office, they were still under the belief that it existed and was hidden.

That’s also why Jerry Reinsdorf’s statement on the day Thibodeau was fired had a definite read between the lines message in it. It was no secret that both sides felt there were leaks going on throughout the

season, especially from a front office that had been rumored to be courting Hoiberg for over a year, as well as one that back in training camp had no problem trying to turn Thibodeau’s players against him.

Hawks team captain

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks unfazed by hopes to win at home

By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com Can the Blackhawks finally win a Stanley Cup at home?

Can they lay claim to a modern-day NHL dynasty with their third Stanley Cup championship in six seasons?

And while they’re at it, can they allow their fans to revel in the anticipation of that glorious moment instead of relying on some sudden, last-minute heroics – Patrick Kane’s awkward overtime goal that virtually nobody saw in 2010 against the Flyers; and twogoals-in-17-seconds in the final 1:16 that turned defeat into a Cup-clinching victory in 2013 against the Bruins?

Yeah, right.

Hawks captain Jonathan

Toews’ singular focus will allow for none of that malarky heading into Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday at the United Center.

Where they do it, how they do it and the historical ramifications are only distractions.

All Toews knows is that the final step is a giant one, against an opponent that arguably has given the Hawks more fits than any other since they first became Cup champions in 2010.

All the Hawks have done so far is win three-out-of-five coin flips – each game of the Final has been tied in the third period. Neither team has led by more than one goal in any game. But with Patrick Kane still in the clutches of

Victor Hedman; with Lightning captain Steven Stamkos yet to speak up in this series; and with the Lightning still inches away from winning every game, the Hawks are taking nothing for granted.

“Obviously there’s a lot of buzz, a lot of excitement, a lot of things going on around the entire event,” Toews said.

“We’re just going to do our best as individuals to focus on our job as players and focus on the game and nothing more.

None of that stuff is really going to help us achieve what we want to achieve. That’s where our heads are at right now.”

Again, the Hawks have their own playoff history on their side.

They are 9-0 in Game 6 with a chance to clinch under

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville. But this time the Game 7 in their pocket is at Amalie Arena. So the urgency is as great as ever. “We played a really good game [Saturday night]. We’re looking to build off that,” Toews said.

Indeed, the Lightning are counting on their own strong will to carry them in an elimination game. They rallied from a 3-2 deficit to beat the Red Wings in the first round.

They won Game 7 at Madison Square Garden to oust the Rangers in the Eastern Conference final.

“There was actually a little bit of rage after [losing Game 5],” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “If they’re going to be angry birds [Monday] night, that’s what I want.”

RAYS 2, WHITE SOX 1

Sale needs an offense that does him justice

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – White Sox fans haven’t had much to cheer about during this disappointing season, but they do have Chris Sale.

Their prized left-hander continued his assault on opposing hitters and record books Sunday, striking out 12 Tampa Bay Rays – Sale’s fifth straight game with 10 or more strikeouts and fourth in a row with 12 or more, numbers that put the 26-year-old in the same class with names like Sandy Koufax and Pedro Martinez.

But a 2-1 loss that completed a three-game sweep was the latest glum reminder that something so good, so special, seems to be going to waste.

The Sox couldn’t muster enough offense, leaving run-

ners in scoring position in five of the first six innings against right-hander Nathan Karns.

“It almost seems like we have to be perfect a lot of times because we’re not scoring a lot of runs,” acting manager Mark Parent said. “It’s tough on them. When you get an outing like you got from [Jeff] Samardzija yesterday or Sale today, which was amazing, it just seems like he deserves seven or eight runs.

“We just need to pick it up offensively, that’s for [darn] sure.”

Sale was the third pitcher since data is available to strike out 12 in four consecutive starts. Martinez did it in 2001 (he had a streak of five in ’99) to go with a four-game streak in 1997. Randy Johnson strung together five straight of 12 or more in 1998. This was Sale’s

24th game with 10 or more, in 97 starts.

“The maturity of Chris Sale from this year to last year is going through the roof, just on and off the field,” Parent said.

“It seems like he has really matured to that next level, almost superstar-type guys.”

While blaming himself for walking the leadoff hitter in the seventh and allowing a two-run homer to Asdrubal Cabrera, Sale did his part.

Meanwhile, watching him blow through opposing is bittersweet because that threetime All-Star talent was a big reason why the front office accelerated its rebuilding plan and spent big on new additions Samardzija, Melky Cabrera, David Robertson and Adam LaRoche over the offseason.

The Sox went into Sunday’s game in last place in the AL

Central, and as enjoyable as it is watching Sale dominate, it would be tough to watch it go to waste should the Sox continue to flounder as a team.

“You have to overlook that,” Sale said of the Sox’s pitter-patter offense.

“That’s a bunch of crap if you ask me. You look at my last few starts and I’ve had more than my fair share [of runs]. Today was my night to pick them up and I didn’t.

Plain and simple. I got beat.

“It sucks pretty bad – to have that team pretty much where you want them and then a stupid mistake walking the guy and leave a fastball right down the middle and lose the game. There’s really nothing more than that.”

Protecting a 1-0 lead after Carlos Sanchez drove in Gordon Beckham with a single

in the second inning against right-hander Nathan Karns, Sale breezed through the first six innings, retiring 17 of 19 before the leadoff walk in the seventh.

Sale is in some kind of zone with an ERA of 0.92 in his last four starts, overlapping a a stretch of three straight starts of 12-plus Ks with one or no runs allowed. He and Koufax are the only ones who’ve done that.

Sale himself had a tough time finding words to describe it.

“Yeah, I feel like I had pretty good feel for all three of my pitches, being able to throw them for strikes,” he said. “Tonight I was off a little bit and I was able to corral that in. I’m doing same. I wish I could tell you. I just go out there and try to pitch.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

D not win a trick twice

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Will Rogers said, “Get someone else to blow your horn, and the sound will carry twice as far.”

In bridge, it is impossible to win a trick twice, but sometimes a card could take a trick in more than one way. Then, it is usually important to capture the right trick -- as in this deal.

Cover the West and South hands.

East is defending against four hearts.

West leads the diamond ace. How should East plan the defense?

In the old days, North would have responded two no-trump, showing a balanced hand with 13-15 points and fewer than four hearts. Now, though, most pairs use the Jacoby Two Notrump response, indicating game-going values with four-card heart support.

Some pairs would respond three notrump, but it is better to restrict that to 3-3-4-3 or 3-3-3-4 distribution, offering the opener a choice of games. Also, note South’s three-club raise. With two low spades, that is a much better rebid than two no-trump.

An East who plays on autopilot would drop the diamond eight at trick one, starting a high-low with his doubleton. West would then cash his diamond king and give his partner a diamond ruff.

But that would be the end of the defense. South would draw trumps and discard his spade loser on either dummy’s diamond queen or the fourth club.

East has a guaranteed trump trick -- he does not need the ruff. At trick one, he should drop his diamond deuce. Then, if West immediately shifts to a spade (or after cashing the diamond king), the contract will be defeated. And given South’s club raise, West would surely find that play.

Atherosclerosis is No. 1 cause of premature death Dear Doctor K: You mention atherosclerosis in many of your columns. Could you explain what this word means?

Dear Reader: My readers ask me many questions about atherosclerosis, and for good reason: It is the No. 1 cause of premature death in developed nations, including the United States.

Atherosclerosis is a narrowing of the arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that supply fresh, oxygen-rich blood to the heart, brain, intestines and other organs.

The narrowing is caused by the buildup of plaques in artery walls.

The plaques are filled with LDL cholesterol – so-called “bad” cholesterol.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff As a plaque grows inside the wall of an artery, it begins to block the flow of blood. At first, the blockage is so slight that there are no consequences. But if a plaque grows very large, it can starve the organ fed by the artery.

Another, more sinister, thing can happen with a plaque. Even if it is not big enough to block blood flow, that can change in an instant.

Here’s how: The plaque has a cap of fibers that hold in the cholesterol. If there is inflammation

inside the plaque, it can dissolve the fibers.

Suddenly, the cap ruptures, spilling cholesterol into the inside of the artery.

That can promptly cause a clot that completely blocks the flow of blood.

Without oxygen and other nutrients that are carried in the blood, the organ’s cells may die or suffer severe damage.

This is how most heart attacks and many strokes happen. (I’ve put an illustration showing how atherosclerosis can lead to a heart attack on my website, askdoctork.com.)

There are many things you can do to reduce your risk of atherosclerosis. For example:

• Don’t smoke.

• Maintain a healthy weight.

• Eat a healthy diet that is rich in vegetables and fruits; use healthy fat oils • monounsaturated (olive) and polyunsaturated (safflower, peanut, canola) • for cooking; and emphasize fish and plant protein sources (soy, beans, legumes).

• Exercise regularly.

• Control high blood pressure. You may need medication to do this.

• If you have diabetes, control your blood sugar.

High LDL cholesterol is a big risk factor for atherosclerosis. If diet and exercise alone do not bring your cholesterol down to target

levels, you may need medication. The best medicine to lower cholesterol is a statin.

Statins were developed only after basic scientific research discovered what prompts the liver to make large amounts of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

That Nobel Prize-winning discovery made statins possible, and also led to the recent development of another powerful group of medicines that can lower LDL cholesterol. They’re currently called PCSK9 inhibitors, but I’ll bet (as with statins) we’ll come up with a simpler name soon.
