MORRIS – There’s no question about it: Since moving into our new home, the Morris Community YMCA has left quite an impression on Wauponsee Street.

With the support of Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, the Y was able to open its doors to the community in January.

Since then, with a core of just three full-time staff, we’ve welcomed in more than 2,000 members and introduced an assortment of both youth and health-based programming.

Now, here we are, halfway through the year, and the Y is ready to introduce a new era of programming – thanks to the recent hire of our fourth full-timer, a health science buff by the name of Ian Stewart.

Stewart, a Champaign native, officially started with the Morris Community YMCA in late May, becoming the first Health and Wellness director in its history.

This, however, isn’t his first stint with a YMCA: While Stewart earned a

COMMUNITY PULSE Ian Stewart

degree in Exercise Science from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, he spent five years at the local Y in town, where he worked extensively in conditioning, rehabbing and sports training.

Stewart’s intentions are to bring similar practices to the Morris YMCA, where he plans to pioneer high-quality programs while sharing his expertise on embracing a healthy lifestyle.

“Healthy is a broad term,” he said. “When I think of someone being healthy, I don’t just think of someone who looks healthy.

Instead, I see someone who’s able to walk around freely and enjoy their life, who has found a happy medium between exercise, wellness and nutrition.”

Stewart definitely knows his stuff. Words such as “biomechanics” and “plyo-

LOOKING UP

metrics” are part of his daily vocabulary. It’s clear that he’s excited to hit the ground running.

One of his top priorities, he says, is to get members acquainted with the Y’s fitness center and weight room, where he’s already noticed some equipment being underutilized.

As a result, Stewart has invited members to sign up for a free fitness orientation, where he will demonstrate how to use strength equipment properly. For those interested in taking their health to the next level, the Y also has begun offering personal training.

What Stewart’s most excited about, however, is a sports-specific training program that he’s developing. The program, which can be tailored to individual athletes or entire teams, relies heavily on strength and conditioning, as well as plyometric training – a form of situational training that aims to prevent injuries and develop speed and agility.

Each workout features

an extensive and specific design that varies from sport to sport, and may include anywhere between 20 and 30 different exercises. His goal is to pilot the program as early as fall 2015.

The Y offers a variety of different wellness-based programs for people of all fitness levels.

With a membership at the Morris Community YMCA, members have access to our fitness center and weight room, and are invited to participate in our free fitness classes.

For information about health and wellness programs at the Morris YMCA, please contact Ian Stewart at 815-513-8080, ext. 514 or email istewart@jolietymca.org.

COVER STORY Sharing your creativity

3

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – “Painting the town” held a new meaning Saturday as local artists lined Liberty Street, showcasing their unique wares and art at the Liberty Arts Festival.

The Grundy County Courthouse lawn turned into a kids’ creative center, with crafts from paper-making, coloring a banner to making art for deployed soldiers.

Kayla Hutchcraft of Morris carefully painted each of her hands with fluorescent pink paint and strategically placed them on a piece of paper to create a heart. Then she carefully wrote her name on her masterpiece, which will be sent to deployed soldiers through the Patriots 4 Heroes program.

Hutchcraft said she liked riding the “choo-choo,” sponsored by the Morris Christian Youth Center, and making paper out of old papers and towels.

Lorelai Erhard of Diamond was coloring all over the large banner placed for the kids to doodle. “I like listening to music and coloring unicorns. My favorite colors are purple and pink,” she said.

Art for all ages MORRIS – The inaugural Liberty Arts Festival in Morris had plenty of interactive hands-on art projects for children.

On Saturday, children were able to get their face painted, make paper, create heart-shaped artwork from their hands to send to soldiers, and use their artistic abilities to help create a banner.

The festival grew from what once was Liberty Days, and prior to that Nostalgia Days, hosted by the Morris Downtown Development Partnership.

The members of the Young Explorers group through the Minooka Police Department, clean and shine NASTSQUAD for the Minooka Summerfest kiddie parade June 20. The new D.A.R.E. car features sayings to remind the public to make good decisions. choices. The hood covered with D.A.R.E. responses to children being pressured into drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Sayings like “Keep saying no,” “walking away,” “avoiding the situation,” and “strength in numbers,” remind children how they can get out of a harmful situation.

Officer Robert Latz will become the new fifth-grade D.A.R.E. instructor this fall, and will use the vehicle for his meetings with the students. The vehicle’s name, NASTSQUAD, is a play off of NASCAR, Tatgenhorst and Latz’s names.

“I want to provide kids with the tools they can use when at school to make good choices, and get to know them and so they feel comfortable coming up to me to discuss a problem,” Latz said. “When the kids talk to the police officers, we don’t want them to see the police as big scary people.”

Tatgenhorst said the police department sought sponsor-

ships and in-kind donations for the car’s restoration.

“In NASCAR, the rookies usually have a stripe of yellow on the back, but instead of the yellow, we had a thin blue line painted to remember our fallen officers,” Tatgenhorst said.

“This car has police lights and sirens and looks really cool.

And, it was at no cost to the village at all, being paid for by donors. Each sticker you see on the vehicle is from a group or someone who donated money to help restore this vehicle.

The minimum sponsor spot was $250, and we are still in need of sponsors.”

There also was in-kind donations of transmission and engine work, the roll bars, etc.

The car still needs product support for tires, wheels and stereo equipment.

MINOOKA – The Village of Minooka gained one more resident, named NASTSQUAD, last week. Although loud at times, this resident makes the streets more colorful and is about community service – bridging the gap between law enforcement and the public.

NASTSQUAD is a 2006 Dodge Charger pulled out of a junkyard as a retired police vehicle.

It now resembles a NASCAR vehicle with bold orange, black, blue and purple paint and sponsor stickers. This car will be used for Drug Abuse Resistance Education school programs, car shows, Special Olympics and other public events.

“We will use this car to bring the kids to us. It’s a more personable approach. The kids ask, ‘What is this?’ and we can use that to open up a line of communication,” Community Policing Officer Denis Tatgenhorst said.

“It gets us interaction and conversation.”

Tatgenhorst said in those conversations police and Minooka Young Explorers can give a perspective on what police do for the community and why, make the police more approachable and teach children about positive choices. The Explorers program is for youth interested in law enforcement.

The 18 members in the Explorers program were busy cleaning the vehicle June 20 for the parade at Minooka Summerfest, and they took great pride in shining it up for its public debut. The car is covered in reminders on how to make good

the district this year and next until the referendum can be voted on.

The $10,000 still will leave the district short about $70,000 each year.

Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said he thinks the county should take some responsibility for the question not being on the ballot, and should look at finances to see what it can reasonably do to help. “Mazon is in need. Morris and Dwight fire districts can’t continue to service that area,�

Welter said Friday.

He said he will sit with Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor and see what finances may be available to help the district before taking it to the Finance Committee for a vote. “Money is tight. We just asked department heads to cut their expenses,� Welter said. “But lives matter and we need to see how we can help.�

Halterman said the district has not had any other responses to requests for help from other area townships and municipalities.

MAZON – Members of the Mazon Verona Kinsman Rescue Squad District have received some funding from the Village of Mazon toward getting EMTs hired.

The staff is needed to provide daily service from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. while current volunteers are at work or not readily available to respond.

Mazon Mayor Bob Breisch spoke June 22 with the Grundy County Finance Committee to ask if the county could help contribute to get the MVK district up and running until a referendum question could be placed on the ballot in March. “As Bob Breisch said at the meeting, you can’t put a price on a life,� Tammy Halterman, MVK Rescue Squad District board president, said Friday.

In December, the group was granted the right to organize the Mazon Verona Kinsman Rescue Squad District in order to place a referendum question on the April 7 ballot asking for tax dollars to be lev-

ied for the new district, which would service ambulance calls for the Mazon Fire Protection District and the Verona Kinsman Fire Protection District.

The paperwork was not delivered correctly to the Grundy County Clerk’s office, so an emergency motion was sought March 23. Grundy County Judge Lance Peterson ruled the question could not be added because election results could be at risk. The next time the question could be placed on a ballot would be next spring, causing tax dollars to not reach the district until 2017.

MVK Rescue Squad District approached the county in April when it was suggested the board form an ad-hoc committee headed up by board member Ken Iverson.

Since that time, the district has started to hand-deliver letters to various municipalities, townships and businesses in the rescue squad district’s 90-square-mile area asking for donations to get the district staffed now.

The Village of Mazon has agreed to put $10,000 toward

The preliminary investigation found that unit one was entering I-80 eastbound from Route 47 and it cut off unit two, a vehicle traveling east on I-80, according to a news release from ISP. “Unit two swerved to the left and drove off the roadway, through the center median ditch and went airborne into the westbound lanes of I-80,” according to the ISP news release. “Unit two struck three vehicles in the westbound lanes.”

Besides the fatality, three

people were taken to area hospitals.

The types of vehicles and names of the drivers were not released as of press time.

I-80 westbound near Route 47 in Morris was shut down because of the crash and did not reopen until after 5 p.m., according to Illinois State Police, and traffic eastbound was shut down intermittently.

Traffic westbound was detoured to Brisbin Road.

At least one helicopter was brought in to assist people with serious injuries, a state police spokesman said.

MORRIS HERALD–NEWS MORRIS – Summer storms can be powerful enough to cause temporary power outages. If that occurs, health officials say there are steps that can be taken to increase the potential that food in refrigerators and/or freezers will be safe to use when the power is restored.

According to a news release from the Grundy County Health Department, the Food and Drug Administration’s website encourages the following tips: • Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature.

• The refrigerator will keep food cold for about four hours if it is unopened.

• A full freezer will keep the temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) if the door remains closed.

• Buy dry or block ice to keep the refrigerator as cold as possible if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot fully-stocked freezer cold for two days.

• If you plan to eat refrigerated or frozen meat, poultry, fish or eggs while it is still at safe temperatures, it’s important that each item is thoroughly cooked to the proper temperature to assure any foodborne bacteria is destroyed.

However, if at any point the food was above 40 degrees for two hours or more – dis-

card it.

Keep in mind that perishable food such as meat, poultry, seafood, milk and eggs that are not kept adequately refrigerated or frozen may cause illness if consumed, even when they are thoroughly cooked. “When in doubt, through it out.”

In addition to power outages, flooding can present problems. If your residence is supplied with water from a private water well, you will want to make certain your well is properly maintained.

However, even a properly maintained well can encounter water entering the well casing via the vent in the cap.

If water does overflow the top of the casing, assume the water in the well is contaminated until you have a chance to have the water supply tested.

Until that time: • Wash fruits and vegetables with water from a safe source before eating.

• For infants, try to use prepared, canned baby formula that requires no added water.

When using concentrated or powdered formulas, prepare with bottled water if the local water source is potentially contaminated.

• Contact the health department to obtain water sample bottles and the paperwork needed to submit samples for testing.

For information, contact the Grundy County Health Department’s Environmental Health Division at 815-9413115.

HOROSCOPES CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you can’t meet a deadline. Trying to skirt the issue will compound the problem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Tread carefully. You could end up being manipulated by a canny operator if you are too trusting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Friendships will fluctuate. If it isn’t possible to get together with old friends due to distance or other impediments.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Face the music. That problem you have been avoiding needs to be dealt with now, before you lose any more sleep over it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A small windfall is headed your way. A loan, repayment or found money will brighten your day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Join a cultural or creative group that interests you. You are letting others run

your affairs if you don’t speak up.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t let anyone take credit for your work.

Put your personal stamp on all of your projects.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Find a way to soak up new information.

Endless opportunities are waiting to be discovered.

that we must inform you of the passing of our dear friend and Yes co-founder, Chris Squire,” said the statement from Alan White, Steve Howe, Jon Davison and Geoff Downes.

Squire was born on March 4, 1948, in London. He co-founded the band with its former lead singer, Jon Anderson, and the group released its self-titled debut album in 1969.

Squire was the only member to play on all of Yes’ albums.

“For the entirety of Yes’ ex-

istence, Chris was the band’s linchpin and, in so many ways, the glue that held it together over all these years,” the band’s statement read.

“Because of his phenomenal bass-playing prowess, Chris influenced countless bassists around the world, including many of today’s well-known artists.”

Squire, a talented and dominant bass guitarist, was one of the leaders of progressive rock in the 1970s.

His website said he was a choirboy in his youth, which set the foundation for his musical talents.

He released his solo debut, “Fish Out of Water,” in 1975, and also played in the short-lived supergroup XYZ (eX-Yes-Zeppelin), which included Jimmy Page.

Yes released the album “Heaven & Earth” last year.

The Grammy-winning band’s hits include “Roundabout” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart.”

Beware of food, water safety issues in summer storms

Local shops, retailers encourage streetside painting and crafts • FESTIVAL

Continued from page 3 were around 25 musical artists between the music and performers at the courthouse lawn and the Art Walk streets.

Types of music ranged from Broadway tunes, Christian, pop, rock, contemporary to classic rock and string.

Walking along Liberty Street, many businesses set up booths, engaging the crowd there for the Liberty Street Art Walk, taking place 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A pop-up art class filled one section of alleyway, where young children paid to take a painting class by artist Alicia Sesto of Ottawa, and hosted by retailer Apple Butter & Shugie’s owner Jane Kerr.

“Two months ago the MDDP came to the Morris Retail Association meeting and asked retailers to have something in front of their stores for the festival,” Kerr said. “I know how popular these paint your own canvas parties are, so we contacted the artist.”

The Art Walk, which

Mixed media artist Mike Skoflanck of Ottawa shows his love of art and acoustic guitar in his repurposed art pieces shown at the Liberty Arts Festival in Morris. housed around 40 artists from high school to retirement age, filled Liberty Street with color and conversation. Art Walk chairwoman, Stacey Olson said this event came to fruition during Liberty Days last year.

“Last year, we had a little art show and it was well attended. This year, we thought

we could make this art show bigger and better to attract people from all around the area,” Olson said.

Art ranged from homemade jewelry and scarves, to watercolor and sketch art to repurposed art and acrylic paintings.

Local creator Pastor Arol McFadden was found passion-

ately explaining the purpose behind his wood canvassed creations.

McFadden chooses to use a wood base instead of canvas for his pieces for several reasons.

“Canvas is expensive, if I can make my canvas, it’s affordable and fun. Also, some of this wood is 100 years old, and had its own story, and I want to paint a subject on it that also has a history,” he said.

Shawn Sherman of Minooka, brought his four children to explore.

McFadden shared the history behind the creation of one of his pieces of the Statue of Liberty with Sherman.

“I painted this because just like the wood has a story, so does the Statue of Liberty. It took a lot of hardships to find liberty, it’s messy and has a lot of scars,” McFadden said.

Coming out of art “retirement,” Mike Skoflanck of Ottawa, uses a mixed media approach to his art pieces, mixing repurposed items and acrylic paints.

His booth was mostly filled with acoustic guitar and mu-

sic-inspired pieces. Skoflanck said he used to paint, but took time off and has only been back on the scene the past four years.

“I didn’t know how to reenter, so I picked something that I’m interested in. I love the acoustic guitar, I can’t play it, but I can paint it,” he said.

Skoflanck talks about how he finds many of the objects on his pieces. “My father-in-law passed away at 100 years old and he ran a show repair shop in LaSalle. We were going through the store and found so many parts to something, but we didn’t know what. He didn’t throw anything away.”

Applegate said the purpose of this event was to provide an event to “create a community feel.”

While walking the festival grounds, a number of kids were found lying on the ground coloring a runner of paper. They were drawing large suns, smiley faces, and hearts, and writing messages. Next to this paper was a chalkboard that read, “Leave a message for Coal City tornado victims.”

Morris Shootout runs smooth at 30

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Some things get better with age.

The annual Morris Boys Shootout, which took place Wednesday and Thursday, is one such instance as it entered its 30th year.

“This was probably the smoothest event in the eight or nine years I have been in charge,” Morris basketball coach and event supervisor Joe Blumberg said.

Blumberg will be the first to tell you, however, that it wasn’t a one-man show.

“I would never take credit for how things ran,” Blumberg said. “It comes down to having good coaches and great programs that we can count on to show up.”

Even the last-minute cancellation of Coal City’s appearance because of Monday’s tornado that hit the town didn’t put a crimp in the shootout.

“Of course, our thoughts and prayers all went out to the people in Coal City,” Blumberg said. “They are especially with (Coal City) coach (Brad) Boresi. For him to get on the phone and find a team (Peotone) to take his team’s place, under those circumstances, speaks volumes to his character.”

Although the event isn’t the only game in town, the Morris Shootout remained well-attended as a destination for many teams statewide.

“Our attendance was good,” Blumberg said. “The teams that are local, Peotone especially, travelled well and had quite a few fans here. Marion, from way downstate, travelled well. We had decent crowds.

Anyone who wants to compare the crowds to the crowds this event drew 25 years ago doesn’t really understand the summer landscape.

“Years ago, when the Morris Shootout started, it was the only summer basketball event going. Now, they are all around the state all summer long.”

That is part of how the Morris Shootout continues to fill its 32 slots.

“Our goal is to continue to bring in quality programs,” Blumberg said. “The teams know that they will have com-

John Patsch for Shaw Media

Morris’ JaQuan Boxley drives to the basket Thursday at the Morris Shootout. petitive games.

“Plus, we know we have to be hospitable and go a step above what other places are doing so that the coaches want to come back.”

To that end, the sponsors play a big role, and Blumberg had heaps of thanks to dole out.

“Of course, the City of Morris gets a big thank you,” he said. “Without their continued support, we would have to come up with an alternative way to have this tournament.

Then there is Chicago Pizza Department, Corleone’s, Turtles and R-Place, who donate food to the hospitality room and keep the coaches and officials fed. Then, we hope the teams involved give those places some business before they leave town.”

An event with this many games in a short span doesn’t run well without solid officiating on the court, and – over the course of the two days – the games were always on schedule.

“Joe Thomas gets all the

credit for that,” Blumberg said. “He does such a great job, not only getting good officials, but organizing and scheduling them. In our 4 o’clock round on Wednesday, the four games were decided by a total of 10 points, and one of them went

double overtime. Close games like that tend to take longer and they can put the schedule off a little, but all of them got over on schedule and the event rolled on. That’s a credit to our officials.

“Also, some of the other shootouts use their events to train new officials. With ours, they know they are going to see good basketball, and for us, it’s worth it to pay a little more and get good, experienced officials.”

Other unsung contributors are those who worked at the event.

“The players and parents in our program did a great job,” Blumberg said. “The varsity players had to play three games, then work at the scoring tables the rest of the day and they did a great job, especially on Day 2. Also, the parent volunteers went above and beyond. That last day or two before the event, you always worry that every duty is going to be filled, but people stepped in and got it done.

“I don’t usually single out people, but I have to thank Joanna and Brett Larson. They were in the hospitality room from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. on both days. That job is more than just getting people food. They register college coaches, check in the teams, get the T-shirts for the players, communicate with the businesses about how much food we need and when we need it.

“I really appreciate their efforts. When (assistant) Coach (Todd) Kein and I don’t have to worry about that stuff, we can be supervising games, helping at the scorers’ tables when it’s needed. Their efforts made things a lot easier on us.”

WHITE SOX

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com DETROIT – For seven innings, this was the type of scene the White Sox envisioned when they traded for Jeff Samardzija during the offseason, watching the workhorse right-hander dealing against the Detroit Tigers, on his way to giving the Sox what would have been a series victory.

Before it all caved in on Samardzija, who carried a 4-0 lead and two-hit shutout into the eighth inning Sunday, Samardzija was looking more

like a valuable trade chip as July fast approaches than the most significant acquisition of an off-season that was going to make them playoff worthy.

While general manager Rick Hahn isn’t tipping his hand on what the plan is going forward, if and when he does become a seller Samardzija will be one of his most valuable tokens.

Samardzija, who signed a one-year, $9.8 million deal, becomes a free agent after a season the Sox had hoped would portray life on the South Side as an attractive long-term landing spot for the northwest In-

diana native. Instead, the time appears to be now for the Sox to begin cleaning up the mess of 2015 and get something in return. The Royals, Blue Jays, Yankees, Tigers, Twins, Cardinals, Orioles, Angels, Dodgers and Astros have all been reported to be interested in Samardzija. While there hasn’t been much about this Sox experience for Samardzija to wrap his arms around, for seven innings Sunday he had one of his best moments.

But these are the 2015 Sox, for whom the good times never roll for too long. James Mc-

Cann started a four-run eighth with a single against the Shark, and he ended the game with a walk-off homer against Zach Putnam, sending the Sox out of town with two losses and a rainout in four games and a 3242 record.

Ventura’s critics will pile on him for trusting Samardzija to get out of the jam created by a walk to Jose Iglesias between singles by McCann and Anthony Gose and an RBI hit-bypitch of Ian Kinsler.

Samardzija did strike out Miguel Cabrera, but his 110 pitch, to Victor Martinez, was

hit for a three-run, game-tying double to right center.

“After he got Miggy, and the way he did it, he still had something left in the tank,” Ventura said. “Victor being a switch-hitter, you are taking your chances either way, whether you get up lefty [Zach] Duke at that point or ‘Put’ or Jake [Petricka].”

Some aspects of the Sox offense are coming around. And they played a relatively clean game Sunday. But as the teams that lose do, they found a way to lose a game they looked to have a firm grip on.

Bowman isn’t rushing into any deals this year

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com You wanted action. You wanted to see Stan Bowman be a major player, walking the floor at the draft, striking up conversations and striking deals. You wanted to rip the Band-Aid off.

It didn’t happen. And now… you wait.

If the grueling two-month grind of the Stanley Cup playoffs was an exhilarating kind of agony, this offseason could wind up being the agonizing kind of agony: a slow bleed, a summer of celebration becoming a summer of angst. Patrick Sharp will be traded – but when? Bryan Bickell could be traded – but when? Brandon Saad will be re-signed – but

when? Marcus Kruger should be re-signed – but when?

“We have some things we’re still working on,” Bowman said after the draft on Saturday, calm and relaxed as ever. “But we’re not putting any time frames on things.”

This is Bowman. This is who he is. In a league populated by impulse-buyers, Bowman is the guy perusing every gallon of milk for the latest expiration date. He could have made a trade or three over the weekend. He spent hours in the same room with all the other GMs in Las Vegas on Tuesday, then spent eight more hours on the same floor with them in South Florida over the weekend. There were calls. There were chats. There were substantive discussions.

But there were no deals, other than shipping thirdstring goaltender Antti Raanta to the New York Rangers for a prospect.

The knock on Bowman in recent seasons, if you can find a knock on a guy with his name on the Stanley Cup three times, has been that he’s too patient, that he’s almost too timid, too enamored with his own players and too unrealistic in the trade market. That’s what made his bold moves to acquire Antoine Vermette (which paid off) and Kimmo Timonen (which didn’t) at this year’s deadline so remarkable.

In 2013, reluctant to disrupt chemistry and give up prospects, Bowman didn’t make a big splash to bolster the best team in hockey, only picking

up the cast-aside Michal Handzus from San Jose. In 2014, with a team short on depth and in need of a boost, all he did was move Brandon Pirri for a draft pick and acquire David Rundblad. Like it or not, Bow-

man won’t rush into anything.

But he’s earned the benefit of the doubt.

“Our job is to keep making calls and try to find something that works,” Bowman said.

“When it does, we’ll do it.”

OPINION Benghazi probe ponders who is lying Last March, when Hillary Clinton made her first public comments on the secret email system she maintained while secretary of state, she took care to say she had turned over everything to the State Department. “I ... provided all my emails that could possibly be work-related,” Clinton told reporters. “I believe I have met all of my responsibilities and ... the State Department will be able, over time, to release all of the records that were provided.”

The message was clear.

Clinton had turned over everything, and the State Department would make it all public.

Then State sent Clinton’s emails that concerned Libya to the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Chairman Trey Gowdy immediately expressed skepticism about the claim that everything had been turned over. “There are gaps of months and months and months,” Gowdy said.

Gowdy’s suspicions appear to have been confirmed. As part of the committee’s questioning of Clinton friend and defender Sidney Blumenthal, who exchanged many emails with Clinton on the subject of Libya, Blumenthal turned over a bunch of emails with Clinton that the committee had never seen before. The State Department had not given them to the committee when State originally turned over what were purported to be all of Clinton’s Libya-related emails.

Which led investigators to ask: Did the State Department fail to turn over all the Clinton emails it had pertaining to Libya? Or did Clinton not give all her Libya-related emails to the State Department, which in turn could not pass them on to the committee?

Shorter version: Did the

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Byron York State Department withhold information from the committee, or did Clinton?

The first possibility is entirely consistent with State Department foot-dragging on Benghazi that has been going on from the beginning. Just last month, Gowdy told Secretary of State John Kerry that “the pace of State Department document production has become an impediment to the progress of the committee.”

The second possibility – that Clinton did not turn over all of her work emails as claimed – would call into question everything she has said publicly about the secret email system. That could, in turn, reignite the Benghazi issue in the presidential campaign.

Clinton, of course, has said nothing about the Blumenthal emails.

Also baffling to investigators is what is going on with Blumenthal. The materials he turned over could undermine Clinton’s claim of having given all of her work-related emails to the State Department. Yet Blumenthal, a longtime Clinton acolyte who owes his livelihood to the Clintons – during the time in question, he received $10,000 a month from the Clinton Foundation and another $10,000 from a Clinton-related media watchdog group – seems the last person in the world who would give Republicans anything they could use against Clinton. So that is another mystery.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Do not overlook a potential problem

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Eric Alfred Burns, a columnist, critic, poet and role-playing game developer, said, “Greatness is more than potential. It is the execution of that potential. Beyond the raw talent.

You need the appropriate training.

You need the discipline. You need the inspiration. You need the drive.”

In today’s deal, the declarer needs the discipline to look for the potential danger to his contract and the talent for spotting how to survive it.

South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond three. Given that the trumps are 3-2, how should declarer plan the play?

South has three top losers: two spades and one club. A possible bad trump split would probably occur to everyone, but after taking the first trick and drawing trumps in three rounds, it would be easy to let one’s guard down. What other hurdle might declarer have to dodge?

If clubs are 3-2, the contract will roll home; but what if they are 4-1?

If East has ace-fourth, the contract is hopeless. If East has a singleton ace, starting the suit from the dummy will work, but then probably West would have led the club 10 at trick one. Instead, South should worry about West’s having ace-fourth.

Declarer should cash his other two diamond tricks ending in his hand, then lead a low club toward the dummy. When the jack wins, South exits with a spade. West takes two tricks in the suit, but he is then endplayed.

When West leads a low club, declarer plays low from the dummy, wins in his hand, and leads another club toward the dummy.

Patient’s simple sore throat may not be simple at all Dear Dr. K: I saw my doctor last week, who said I had acute pharyngitis, but didn’t say what that was. It sounds serious. What is it?

Dear Reader: Good news: It’s rarely serious. I know the word “acute” in front of any medical term makes it sound serious. And I know Latin-based words like “pharyngitis” sound alien. But acute pharyngitis simply means your throat has become inflamed by something, usually an infection.

Acute pharyngitis causes a sore throat, one of the most common medical problems for which people seek medical care. The most common causes of acute pharyngitis are infections with bacteria or

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff viruses.

When I was in medical school, we were taught that a patient with a sore throat had either an infection with a type of bacteria called Group A streptococcus (“strep”) or with any of multiple viruses. Group A strep was diagnosed with a throat culture and was treated with antibiotics, particularly penicillin.

Since antibiotics do not work against viral infections, antibiotics were not to be prescribed except when the throat culture showed Group A strep.

So, I was taught that what a doctor did for a patient with acute pharyngitis was simple: You got a throat culture, and if it showed Group A strep, you prescribed antibiotics.

It did seem simple. The problem was it wasn’t that simple in practice.

One reason why was that the results of a culture took one to two days to come back.

You had to track down the patient when the culture came back showing Group A strep, and then start treatment. To avoid the time those steps took, many doctors just prescribed antibiotics when they were pretty sure the patient had a strep throat.

The problem was doctors weren’t terribly good at

making that judgment. As a result, antibiotics often were prescribed in people with sore throat caused by viruses.

Overuse of antibiotics, in turn, led to bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics – which has become an important problem.

The way a doctor today diagnoses and treats a patient with acute pharyngitis is not very different from the way it was decades ago. From my perspective (with which not all my colleagues agree), it should be different today.

One thing that has changed is that 70 years ago, an unrecognized and untreated throat infection with Group A strep could cause one of two serious diseases: acute rheumatic fever or acute glomerulonephri-

tis. The first is a condition that can damage the heart valves, and the second can damage the kidneys. Early diagnosis and treatment greatly reduced the chance that these diseases would develop. Today, however, the Group A strep circulating in the United States are much less likely to cause these diseases.

In tomorrow’s column, I’ll talk about what else has changed in how a doctor should diagnose and treat a patient with acute pharyngitis.

It turns out the “simple” sore throat is not simple at all.
