Never recovered Purple Heart before death, but family carried on his mission

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – When Rudolph Ramirez was growing up in Chicago he was proud of his country, so when the Korean Conflict started he talked his mother into signing papers for him to go off and serve in the U.S. Army.

“Our mom signed the papers because he was too young,” his sister Sylvia Silva said. “The whole neighborhood came together to carry him as he left for the airport.”

After enlisting, Ramirez volunteered to go to Korea where a grenade was thrown into his foxhole, according to his son.

“Everyone in the foxhole was dead, they started to take his dog tags off and he groaned,” Silva said. “My mom had received a letter that he was missing in action and then Red Cross called to say he was being transferred for medical care.”

Ramirez’s son, Tony, of Morris said his dad had shrapnel in his head and he was sent home with medals, including the Purple Heart. But like many returning from war, Pfc. Ramirez suffered from mental difficulties and while he was moving around he lost his purple heart.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Tony Ramirez of Morris receives a Purple Heart in honor of his father, Pfc. Rudolph Ramirez, on Friday after Rudolph Ramirez wrote letters for years trying to get it replaced.

“After my dad went to the VA and met with a doctor and got on meds he became very stable and married my mom. It was then he started writing to the government asking to have his Purple Heart replaced.”

Tony Ramirez, Pfc. Rudolph Ramirez’s son “After my dad went to the stable and married my mom,” VA and met with a doctor and Tony Ramirez said. “It was got on meds he became very then he started writing to the

government asking to have his Purple Heart replaced.”

Unfortunately, a warehouse

in St. Louis that held the records caught fire and the documents were destroyed. Ramirez spent the rest of his life trying to regain the Purple Heart.

In 1994, Ramirez passed away while living in Bolingbrook and Tony Ramirez started the campaign to get the medal in honor of his father.

Tony Ramirez reached out to Congressman Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, when he was elected because he knew Kinzinger was a veteran himself.

“I knew he was a veteran and I thought maybe he could help,” Tony Ramirez said. “It’s a big deal to me.”

On Friday evening, the family of Pfc. Rudolph Ramirez came together at the Morris American Legion Post 294 to receive the Purple Heart from Kinzinger, who worked for the family to replace the medal.

“It’s the best part of my job to be here to honor someone who represented our country,” Kinzinger told the family who had gathered. “Korea is often called the forgotten war because it was between World War II and Vietnam, but Korea is not forgotten for the Army and not for the 50 million Koreans in Korea today.”

GRUNDY COUNTY

Animal control needs vent system fixed

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Post-construction problems at the Grundy County Animal Control facility built two years ago could cost the county $35,700.

Representatives from Precision Control Systems – a building systems company based in Lisle – presented Thursday to the Grundy County Facilities Committee, listing a number of engineering flaws in the facility’s exhaust and ventilation system.

For months, a strong odor of feces and urine, as well as too much humidity, have plagued the animal control facility, causing an unpleasant environment for both workers and animals within the facility.

“The issue they run in to out there is as they wash things down, they get a ton of humidity in the air,” Facilities Committee Chairman John Roth said Thursday.

“The issue they run in to out there is as they wash things down, they get a ton of humidity in the air.”

John Roth Grundy County Facilities Committee chairman Precision Control representatives investigated the issues and determined the original exhaust system construction was poorly executed and is causing problems with air pressure, flow and temperature.

“They misapplied equipment in this circumstance,” a Precision representative told the committee.

Among the problems was a rusted fan that had not been working for what appeared to be an entire year, the Precision representative told the committee.

The pressure and humidity issues need to be fixed in order

keep the kennel’s odors from permeating the entire building.

After much discussion, the Facilities Committee recommended Grundy County Animal Control Director June Krull take $35,700 from the department’s animal population fund to finance the exhaust project.

Currently, there is an excess of $75,000 available in pet population fund, according to the Grundy County budget.

At last month’s county board meeting, members discussed transferring some of the pet population money out of the fund for other uses, but Grundy County Administrator Heidi Miller assured the Facilities Committee the money was still available.

According to Miller, Krull can use the money for improvements to the building.

“That’s what that is for – to take care of the animals,” committee member Ann Gill said.

Coal City to rebuild school storage buildings One large facility will replace two structures that were damaged by EF-2 tornado the two buildings that have been torn down,” Superintendent Kent Bugg said. “We were able to do this because our tenant farmer, John Trotter, whose contract states he has use of one of the buildings to store his machinery, was willing to work with us.”

The farmland where the buildings were located was bought by the district about 10 years ago when it anticipated large population growth in the area.

The land was bought and reserved for any potential facilities the district would need to accommodate a larger student population.

When the growth didn’t happen as projected, the district entered into a cash rental agreement with a local farmer who now rents the land from the district. The district has

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Coal City Community Unit School District 1 is ready to rebuild its storage buildings nearly nine months after an EF-2 tornado ripped through the buildings owned by the district at Spring and Berta roads.

The district put the rebuilding of the two storage facilities out to bid in June, and none were submitted.

In an effort to get the structures replaced, the district added a second option to the bid for one large storage facility versus replacing the two existing.

“The second time we went to bid we tried to get more bidders so we added the option of one larger building with the same square footage to replace

had the agreement for the past three years.

Bugg said Trotter will still have the same storage space as before, but it would be a shared building with the school district.

The district was using the storage space to store miscellaneous equipment and supplies that don’t fit on other properties owned by the district.

The previous structures were pole barns with metal siding and gravel floors.

Sealed bids for the replacement were opened July 31. The sole bidder was FBi Buildings Inc. Jason Smith, chief school business official, told school board members at their regular meeting Wednesday night that while the bid came in with options for both one building and two it was more cost-effec-

tive to do the one building, although insurance is paying for the replacement of the buildings.

Smith said the one large building bid came in at $69,898, and the two buildings would have totaled $90,884.

The board approved the bid, 6-0, with Jeff Emerson absent.

Officials worry archived documents could be ruined

“I certainly don’t want to see them ruined. They’re a piece of our history, and if I had room for them in this office, I would certainly have them here,” she continued.

The clerk and recorder’s office has microfilm aperture cards, recording books and election materials stored within the building. Phillips said she is required to keep all election materials for a minimum of 22 months after every election, which can take a lot of storage space.

MORRIS – An old, leaky roof on a Grundy County storage facility is putting some of the county’s historic, vital documents at risk.

The building on Dwight Road was built almost 65 years ago. According to Grundy County maintenance worker Larry Pelehowski, the facility’s metal roof has not been tended to since at least 1962.

“I’ll tell you – I won’t go on that roof a second time. That roof is dangerous. It’s paper-thin and it leaks all over,” Pelehowski told the Grundy County Facilities Committee on Thursday.

The leaks are causing concern among county officials, especially Lana Phillips, Grundy County clerk and recorder, and Marcy Miller, Grundy County treasurer, who both have boxes full of archived documents stored within the facility.

While no damage has been done to the records yet, several leaks sprouted near the documents.

Inside the building, the treasurer’s office has historic Grundy County property and tax records from the 19th century, many of which are bound in large books and handwritten using calligraphy.

“They are just irreplaceable. They’re absolutely beau-

“They are just irreplaceable. They’re absolutely beautiful. I certainly don’t want to see them ruined. They’re a piece of our history, and if I had room for them in this office, I would certainly have them [to the treasurer’s office].”

years ago, the clerk’s and treasurer’s archives were stored at the Grundy County Administration Building until the space was needed by the Grundy County Health Department.

Originally, the documents were kept inside the Grundy County Courthouse, but were transferred because of space restrictions.

Having the records within the same building as their offices was ideal for Phillips and Miller, in terms of accessibility.

“I think ideally, we would like to bring those documents a little bit closer to the courthouse,” Phillips said.

At Thursday’s facilities committee meeting, members discussed finding a new home for the records.

A quote to fix the defunct roof came in at $63,000, more than the committee was willing to spend.

Instead, Phillips and Miller are working with Grundy County Administrator Heidi Miller to find alternative storage space before the situation worsens.

“I really don’t have a time frame, but I’m sure weather conditions are not going to be terribly good this fall or winter,” Phillips said.

Annual event features car show, concerts and fireworks If you go

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Classic cars, free music and fireworks to close out the evening.

The above might not be found at your typical Forest Preserve District of Will County gathering, but all merge together when the district kicks off its third annual Music at McKinley event this coming Saturday night.

The family-friendly event starts at 6 p.m. with a car show at McKinley Woods-Kerry Sheridan Grove in Channahon, along with a free concert featuring a 1950s rock ‘n’ roll and rockabilly band, the Cadillac Casanovas, starting at 7 p.m.

Don Gould, president of the district’s Board of Commissioners, said the car show

The event, he said, is a reflection on how the Forest Preserve District has evolved over the years into an organization that caters to more than hikers, bikers and nature lovers.

“The preserves have really become not just a place for

preservation,” Gould said.

“With McKinley, we wanted to give people opportunity to do other things here. It’s really a nice draw.”

Car show registration is free, according to a Forest Preserve District news release. To display a car at the show, car owners can pre-register online, download the registration form and mail or fax it as directed on the form, or call 815-727-8700.

Car registration also is available at the event.

Three officers also presented awards of merit for spotting and calling in Diamond tornado MORRIS DAILY HERALD

Matt Anderson IDNR conservation officer kee, Will, Grundy and Kendall counties.

“These officers have demonstrated their commitment to protecting public safety and upholding Illinois conservation laws. It is an honor to work with these dedicated officers and receive this award,” Helland said in the release.

Helland and Klukas were nominated by Officer Wollgast, who noted in the nomination that three subjects with a total of 12 charges were convicted and $1,765 in fines and $17,000

for five years, the maximum penalty under Illinois law.

The 36-point nontypical trophy is expected to be displayed at the Grundy County Courthouse soon.

“I believe that displaying this deer will help the state’s attorney’s office raise community awareness that conservation offenses can be very serious offenses,” Helland said.

“Since the deer was born, raised and poached in Grundy County, we really wanted to keep the deer in the county so it will serve as a constant reminder to conservation violators that we will eventually catch you if you commit offenses,” Anderson said.

Officer Anderson noted these were significant cases. At the time of the offense, the 36-point nontypical whitetail buck’s antlers were the sixth largest recorded in the world that were taken by archery methods.

“A hunter that is hunting solely for unlawful commercial purposes is always a concern of law enforcement,” Anderson said in the release.

MORRIS – Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland and Assistant State’s Attorney Kyle Klukas were honored by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources recently for their successful prosecution of poaching several deer in Grundy County.

Included in their prosecutions was the poaching of a 36-point nontypical whitetail buck estimated to be worth $35,000. Less than 20 prosecutors were honored statewide, according to a news release from Helland’s office.

IDNR Director Marc Miller and IDNR Chief of Law Enforcement Rafael Gutierrez presented awards to officers and community members who assisted law enforcement during 2013.

Sgt. Mark Simon, Conservation Officer Matt Anderson and Conservation Officer David Wollgast also were presented with awards of merit for their efforts during the Diamond tornado including spotting the tornado and calling it into the dispatch center, possibly saving lives.

After Ramirez lost his original medal, he wrote letters the rest of his life trying to get it replaced. His son, Tony, was able to get it for the family after working with Congressman Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon.

Continued from page 3 Kinzinger described what it was like in South Korea, having just returned from a visit there and told the family how honorable it was that Pfc. Ramirez fought there.

“When we can get the medals back it’s an honor to present them,” Kinzinger said. “It’s tough for me though. I know the sacrifice, and while it’s always an honor it’s tough emotionally.”

After Tony Ramirez accepted the award he looked around the room at the dozens of family members gathered and told them it is the power of his father that brought them all together.

“All he wanted was to love and support his family,” he said. “This was the brick wall he couldn’t get over.”

MORRIS – The Grundy County Health Department’s GROWS garden is a huge success, according to department officials.

The Grundy Resource of Opportunity for Wellness and Sustainability garden came to fruition when LyondellBasell chose the garden as its Global Care Day project.

On May 17, 10 planter boxes were placed on the south side of the Grundy County Administration Building, filled with dirt and seeds planted.

As the weeks followed, the garden started to grow. After each week, tiny sprouts could be seen poking out of the dirt.

With the help of community partners forming committees to care for the garden, the plants have grown, according to a news release from the health department.

The mission for the garden is to promote community involvement for seniors and veterans, to teach Women, Infant and Children program clients on nutrition, and to promote Horticulture Therapy to help improve memory, cognitive abilities and more.

OPINION OUR VIEW

Voters shouldn’t give up on plan to consolidate Too much overlap between comptroller, treasurer offices Let’s hope this year is the last one in which Illinois voters will elect a comptroller and treasurer to statewide office.

The two offices can and should be combined, which would require voters to approve an amendment to the state constitution.

We suspect they would, if House Speaker Michael Madigan would allow the question on the ballot.

Illinois has a comptroller, whose job is to pay the bills, and a treasurer, whose job is to invest its money. Multiple attempts have been made to combine the two offices. Judy Baar Topinka, the current comptroller, has proposed doing so, as has Republican treasurer candidate Tom Cross and his Democratic opponent, Mike Frerichs.

As The Associated Press reported this week, Democratic comptroller candidate Sheila Simon opposes the idea, saying there are other ways for the state to save money.

Topinka and Treasurer Dan Rutherford estimated in 2011 that combining their offices into one “Comptroller of the Treasury” would save taxpayers about $12 million a year.

There is no reason for the state to have two sepa-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

rate offices with so much overlap. Of the five people either holding or seeking the offices, four agree they could be consolidated.

Madigan does not agree, however, and has used the power of his position to prevent amendment proposals from coming to a vote in the House.

Most recently, a proposed constitutional amendment was approved, 55-0, in the state senate in 2011 but was denied a vote in the state house.

It is yet another example of the outsized power Madigan has, and his dedication to maintaining the old order, even when so many agree that change is needed.

The state needs to show leadership in the push to streamline the many layers of government in Illinois and reduce the cost to operate government at large.

There are adequate safeguards in place to investigate fraud, including executive inspectors general for both the comptroller and treasurer.

The consolidation of the offices has popular support and should not be abandoned. Saving money should be the top priority for Illinois government today, and this is one way to accomplish it.

Economy should still matter most As a news story, the economy has been overshadowed lately by war abroad, a border crisis at home, and the escalating fight between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans on a variety of fronts.

But in the long run of presidential politics, the economy is still pretty much the only story that matters, and, while there’s been some good news in recent days, there are plenty of troubling indications that today’s economic unhappiness will dominate our politics for years to come.

Yes, it’s a good thing the economy grew at an estimated rate of 4 percent in the second quarter of this year, even though it contracted at a rate of 2.1 percent in the first quarter.

And yes, it’s a good thing that unemployment is now at 6.2 percent – down from a high of 10 percent in October 2009 – even though that reduction partly reflects the discouraged jobless who have left the workforce altogether.

But the bad news is really bad. The Russell Sage Foundation recently released a report showing that for households

For households in the bottom quarter of the wealth distribution, net worth fell from $10,129 to $3,200 in the same period. And for those households in the lowest 5 percent, the last decade was about falling deeper into the hole; their net worth went from negative $9,749 to negative $27,416.

That kind of damage is not undone in a year or two.

“Through at least 2013, there are very few signs of significant recovery from the losses in wealth experienced by American families during the Great Recession,” the Sage Foundation study notes. “Declines in net worth from 2007 to 2009 were large, and the declines continued through 2013.”

The damage extended beyond those Americans in the middle and below. Although net worth grew for households

at the top of the wealth scale, for those in the 75th percentile – well above the average – the Sage Foundation found that net worth declined from $302,221 in 2003 to $260,405 in 2013.

Much of the loss for all groups came from a steep decline in home values, but job losses and the depletion of savings hit hard, too. And the net worth news comes on top of Census Bureau data showing that median household income fell from $55,030 in 2000 to $51,371 in 2012. So households not only had to get by with less income, they also felt less of the security that substantial savings and home values bring.

“Economic anger is going to drive our politics for a long, long time,” said Stuart Stevens, the political strategist whose candidate, Mitt Romney, struggled to reach disaffected voters. “The 2014 races are more regional and have a lot of different factors, but I can’t imagine that the candidate who wins in 2016 won’t be the one who best speaks to this.”

MORRIS GRADUATE

Friend eyes starting spot at IU

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Last football season, Morris native Danny Friend spent most of his time watching the Indiana University offense and getting time on the field with the special teams.

Friend, a 6-foot-5-inch, 260-pound wonder of an athlete, had to take time to adjust to the size and speed of players in the Big Ten after a stellar career at tight end and defensive end for the Redskins. At Indiana, they will use him as a tight end, and he will probably get quite a bit of time this year. Ted Bolser was the primary tight end for the Hoosiers last season and had 35 of the 36 pass receptions by the position, but has since graduated.

“They have been mixing things up as far as who is working with the ones and twos,” Friend said Friday after the Hoosiers practiced in full pads for the first time this season. “I have been in that group of guys, so that feels pretty good.

“It was definitely an adjustment to the size and speed of the game last year. But I have put on about 10 pounds since then and I haven’t lost any speed. Things seem to have slowed down on the field for me and I am getting more and more used to it.”

The Hoosiers, under coach Kevin Wilson, might just be one of the surprise teams in the Big Ten this year. Friend, who had 15 receptions for 283 yards and four touchdowns as a senior helping the Redskins reach the state title game in 2012, hopes to play a part in that. Indiana went 5-7 last year, including close losses of 41-35 to Navy and 4239 to Minnesota. The Hoosiers averaged 38.4 points a game, and if they can turn those tough defeats into victories this year, they might be invited to a bowl this year.

“I think we can sneak up on some people this year,” Friend said. “Our offense will definitely be a strength. Our O-line is very good, and we have a good quarterback in Nate Sudfeld and a good running back with Tevin Coleman. Our defense is young, but they are playing with a lot of energy, so we might

“I am just excited to get back here with my teammates and get back to playing.”

Danny Friend Morris graduate, IU tight end be one of those surprise teams this year.”

The Hoosiers plan on using the Oregon-Auburn type of spread offense, built on maintaining the option to either run or pass, depending on how the defense reacts. The tight end has to be one of the more versatile players in the scheme, as he may be called upon to stay in and block or split the seam in the middle of the defense on any given play. It’s a challenge that Friend relishes, along with returning to his special teams duties of last season.

“I have to be able to do both,” he said about blocking and receiving. “Sometimes they split us out and we have to block on bubble screens for receivers, or

they will audible from there and have us go up a seam.

“I also think I will play on some special teams again. I hope so, anyway, because those are always fun to do. You just get to run down the field as fast as you can and hit somebody.

That’s always fun.”

Even though Friday was the first day of practicing in full pads, Friend was more than pleased to get back in full swing.

When he’s not practicing, he spends his time majoring in exercise science.

“The plan is to finish in four years,” he said about his studies. “It’s tough because I can’t take as many classes in the fall, but I take one or two in the summer to make up for it.

“I am just excited to get back here with my teammates and get back to playing,” Friend said. “It was nice to get the full set of pads on. That really makes it feel like it’s football season.”

I am going to whole-heartedly agree with Jerry Garcia on that one. But I have to argue with Thomas Wolfe and his “You can’t go home again,” because, here I am.

Home.

It’s been almost 11 years since I have been in the full-time employment of The Morris Daily Herald. I spent better than eight years with The Joliet Herald-News, only to find out my services – like those of most of my co-workers – were no longer wanted by the parent company. Costs had to be cut and since none of the higher-ups were going to lose their jobs, the you-

know-what rolled downhill.

Somehow I managed to survive a few rounds of firings, euphemistically known as layoffs, but eventually that bell tolled for me, too. It was inevitable, but knowing it’s coming doesn’t make it any easier.

For a while, at least, there was a sense of relief. No longer was the question, “Is this the day I lose my job?” running through my head during the drive to the office.

Believe me, that gets old after a couple of years.

So, I took some time to just relax and decompress a bit.

Then, I did some freelance game coverage work for Patch.com, until their higher-ups decided that they no longer wanted game coverage

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Finish what you started a long time ago. You have the discipline and the ability to realize some old goals. There is an opportunity to make some extra cash if you can turn your efforts, talent or skills into a sideline business.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Make a move now.

If you are offered an interesting position, accept the challenge it offers. You are overdue for some changes, and this can be the first step.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Stay in control of a situation that will influence your future. If you take action quickly, you will receive positive results. Be secretive to prevent others from meddling in your affairs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep your opinions to yourself. Others may be particularly disagreeable, so work on something that you can do alone. Being drawn into petty arguments will be a waste of time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Add some zest to your life. The use of all your talents will lead you to a new business venture.

Keep working toward your goal, and an amazing and profitable project will develop.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Avoid getting involved in joint ventures. Your generosity will cause problems. Control your spending, and keep tabs on how much you have and how much you owe.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you don’t want to do something, don’t be afraid to say no. Have a heart-to-heart talk with someone who is making life difficult or uncertain. Trying to please others will be emotionally and physically draining for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Unless you have the relevant details, don’t feel that you have to make a decision. It’s likely that someone is withholding the information you need. Do your own fact-finding.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Meeting people is easier if you participate in community activities and events. If you follow your intuition, you will meet someone who will lead you down an exciting new path.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t be too ready to offer details about your plans.

Giving someone personal facts or figures could set you up for a fall. Guard your interests carefully.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Spend more time doing things you enjoy. Downtime is just as important as time spent working, especially when it comes to mental health.

Gather your friends and have a good time with them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take a look at your bank account, assets and valuable possessions. You may have miscalculated expenses. Do away with non-essential purchases until you can get your finances sorted out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Get all the facts. Serious discussions should be postponed until you feel ready and capable of acting responsibly. Legal or governmental matters are best handled with facts to back up your position.

Author Lois Lowry talks about ‘The Giver’

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now It’s no surprise that Lois Lowry is such a prolific writer. The longtime Cambridge, Massachusetts, resident recalls spending her childhood as a voracious reader of all kinds of books, especially adult books that had young protagonists.

She read and loved “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” when she was 10, and fell under the spell of “The Catcher in the Rye” not long after.

Lowry, a chipper 77, crossed the river from Cambridge to Boston last week to talk about her young adult novel “The Giver,” a coming-of-age tale set in a dystopian future (written in 1993, well before the fad of “The Hunger Games,” etc.).

Though the Newbery Medal-winning book’s film rights were purchased by Jeff Bridges almost two decades ago, it’s taken all of these years to make it to the screen. The irony is that Bridges wanted his father Lloyd to play the titular old man, but so much time has gone by, he’s doing it himself.

Ed Symkus: You were writing poems and short stories for adults when you started out.

What got you into writing for younger readers?

Lois Lowry: I published a short story in

a magazine. It was a story for adults, but it was seen through the eyes of a child.

A children’s book editor at Houghton Mifflin read it, got in touch with me, and asked if I would consider writing a book for young people. It never occurred to me, which amazes me now because I had four kids at the time, why I never thought of writing for kids.

So, I sat down immediately and began doing it. They didn’t promise to publish what I wrote, but to have a publisher at the other end, waiting for it, was a jump start.

The book was “A Summer to Die,” and they did publish it and it won a big international award. It coincided with the time my marriage was ending, and I was going to have to – oh, my goodness!

– make a living for the first time, and it occurred to me maybe that’s how I could do it.

Symkus: Some of the themes in “The Giver,” such as rebelling against conformity, have caused controversy among the conservative element in our society.

Lowry: Yeah, it was removed from the

schools in the town of Holland, Michigan, and a town in Colorado. I forgot the name of that one. It’s not true any longer, but when that was happening so much, most often there would be a challenge, then there would be a process, and then there

But in a couple of places it was withdrawn. Beats me why. I think the reason it’s not being challenged any longer is because now that the young adult category has become so huge, there are a lot of so-called young adult books that are sexually explicit and that have a lot of violence.

If the people who challenge books want something to challenge, there’s better stuff out there for their purposes.

Symkus: Do you find yourself surprised at insights that people get out of your books, things that you hadn’t even intended?

Lowry: Oh, yes. Recently I’ve gotten

questions about the theological implications of the apple, the “Adam and Eve” metaphor.

And I go, “What? I didn’t put that in there, folks.”

It’s interesting that people take out of what they’re reading what works for them.

Symkus: There have been many attempts at writing a script of “The Giver” over the years.

Was the initial one very different from the one that became the film, and did you work on any of them?

Lowry: Bob Weide wrote a screenplay

in 1996. His was the earliest. There were four or five intervening ones, and Mike Mitnick wrote the last one. I didn’t work with either of them, but I was privy to

both of their scripts.

They emailed me the final screenplay, and asked me to go through it and make any notes, so I did. They took some of my advice and ignored, as they have every right to, some of my other advice. But the director emailed me continuously during the filming and the pre-production with little questions like, what do you want the boy’s bedroom to look like, how would it be furnished?

Symkus: The youngest kids in the book have stuffed animals that you term “comfort objects.”

Did you have a comfort object?

Lowry: Oh, I did. Pinky. [She smiles]

When I was 4, we went to visit my grandparents, and when we came back home, my mother said that Pinky had gotten left behind at Grandma’s house. Pinky was a doll that was very faded and disgusting.

Symkus: What are you reading these days?

Lowry: I have just finished reading a

biography of the Romanov sisters, the daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra.

I’m a history buff, but I like everything.

I’m reading an awful lot of Scandinavian mysteries lately. Go figure.

Symkus: Are you working hard on your next book?

Lowry: No, I’ve had to take the summer

off from writing because I’ve been so busy with the movie stuff. But I’m eager to get back to it.

ADVICE

Teen begins to notice parents’ emotional abuse Dear Abby: I’m a 15-year-old girl

who has two younger brothers. My parents are good people, but they can be extremely harsh and cruel.

They curse us out and scream at us almost every day. I told my best friend about it and she said that it is emotional abuse. I disagree.

I have always been told that every parent yells at their kids.

I don’t know what to do. I have been suffering this almost my entire life. I didn’t think that it was abuse. AM I being emotionally abused? – Tired Of The Tirades Dear Tired: The answer to your question is yes, your friend is correct. Because your parents have been doing this on a regular basis, it qualifies as verbal/emotional abuse. Be glad you now recognize it, because their lack of control isn’t normal.

Their anger and frustration may have nothing to do with you and your siblings. The problem

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips with this kind of abuse – as opposed to physical abuse – is that although it is damaging, it is often not taken seriously.

If there are family members or close friends who can intervene, help your parents to see how damaging their lack of control is and convince them to get help.

Dear Abby: I have been dating a divorced man, “Chris,” for four years. He has a son who is 16. On the weekends Chris has his son, I become the “invisible girlfriend.”

Sometimes the three of us will go to a movie or out to eat, but I am NEVER welcome to spend the night.

Chris and I have talked about living together, but never in depth.

Unless I bring it up, he never says anything about it. When Valentine’s Day came around, Chris asked if we could celebrate it a few days late because he was scheduled to have his son that night.

I am beginning to think there is no future with Chris. He seems fine just dating, but not to commit to. Suggestions? – Dismissed In Denver Dear Dismissed: When you started dating Chris, his son was 12. It seems to me that what he has done is put his parenting responsibilities before anything else, and I respect that.

If romance and marriage are what you’re looking for, I suggest you stop asking Chris about living together and ask instead about whether the two of you have a future.

Neuropathic pain has multiple treatment options Dear Doctor K: I suffer from what my doctor calls “chronic neuropathic pain.” What are my treatment options?

Dear Reader: There are two main types of pain. Nociceptive pain results from an injury to tissues outside your nervous system. Burns, sprains and broken bones are all examples of nociceptive pain. Tiny nerve fibers are always present in tissues.

When the tissue gets injured, the nerve fibers detect it. The signal they send the brain is nociceptive pain. The signal says to the brain: “Do something to avoid further injury!”

Neuropathic (nerve) pain is the second type of pain. That’s the pain your doctor has diagnosed. It results from injury to or malfunction of the nerves themselves.

This causes abnormal processing of pain signals and sensations.

As a result, the nerve that was the mere messenger of pain now becomes a source of pain.

Neuropathic pain can result from diseases or conditions as varied as diabetes, shingles, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury or stroke. The pain may be felt as a burning or shooting pain, or you may have an unpleasant sensation of pins and needles. The pain may move out from one part of

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff the body and spread to adjacent areas. It can be chronic and difficult to manage.

You have likely already tried conventional over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve).

These medicines work a lot better for nociceptive pain than for neuropathic (nerve) pain.

I think there is little evidence that prescription pain medicines – particularly the potent opioid medicines – are effective for neuropathic pain. Since they are addicting and can cause serious side effects, they should never be continued unless it is clear they are relieving suffering.

For neuropathic pain, other types of drugs (all requiring prescriptions) can be more effective than traditional pain medicines.

Adding one of these following types of drugs won’t completely control your nerve pain, but it may help: • Anticonvulsants. These anti-seizure medications also help to blunt pain signals in the nerves.

The most commonly used for

nerve pain are gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica).

They take four to six weeks for the full effect to kick in.

• Antidepressants. Certain types of antidepressants can also help to control nerve pain: a. Tricyclic antidepressants.

These drugs have the strongest evidence backing their ability to manage nerve pain. b. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).

These drugs are prescribed at lower doses for pain than they are for depression. SNRIs have fewer side effects than tricyclics, but they may be less effective in treating neuropathic pain. c. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These drugs are commonly prescribed for depression. Some doctors may try these for treating neuropathic pain, too. In my opinion, the evidence that they are effective for neuropathic pain is mixed.

When I was in medical school, we had few effective treatments for neuropathic pain. While we still need better treatments, we’ve made real progress.

All I’m asking for is an apple Dr. Wallace: My parents always prepare healthy meals. We eat three well-balanced meals daily, but I’m not allowed to eat any snacks even when I tell Mom that I’m starving. They tell me that it is only in my mind and eventually I will get over it. It’s not like I want to eat junk food. All I’m asking for is an apple or a banana.

I don’t see why eating a piece of fruit would not be eating healthy. Help! – Ann, Athens, GA. Dear Ann: It’s important to eat three well-balanced, nutritious meals per day, but it’s also desirable to eat well-balanced snacks when one gets a hunger pang, so says Judy Reilly, a nutritionist and author of the book, “I Love to Eat.” Check with your local library to see if a copy is available. If it is, check it out and see that Mom and Dad also read it.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 16-year-old boy, and I’ve been good friends with a nice girl who attends the same high school that I do. She can’t go out with boys until she turns 16 in October, so we don’t really date.

I stopped by Lauren’s house last week because I needed a book she had borrowed from me.

When her mom answered the door, she was very rude and told me to leave her house immediately because Lauren isn’t allowed to see boys until she turns 16. She wouldn’t even let me explain about the book before she raised her voice and said, “Young man, I told you to leave this house. Are you hard of hearing?”

When I told my folks, they suggested that I stay far away from the girl and her mom. I really like the girl, and she likes me. What do you

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace think I should do? We are both nice kids and she is the sweetest girl I know. – Ryan, Frederick, Md. Dear Ryan: Wait to visit Lauren until she is 16, but you can still see her at school. Enjoy her company when you are with her, but don’t blame her for her mother’s rudeness.

Dr. Wallace: My older sister is very athletic.

She is into yoga and aerobic exercises. I’m not overweight, and I played junior varsity basketball at my high school, so I’m in pretty good physical shape.

My sister can touch the palms of her hands on the floor without bending her knees. Since I can’t even touch my fingers to the floor without bending my knees, my sister insists that I’ve got a back problem and should contact a chiropractor.

I’ve talked to a lot of my friends and they can’t touch their palms to the floor either. Do we all have a problem? – Cindy, San Jose, Calif.

Dear Cindy: Your sister is a very limber young lady, but your friends and you are in the majority. I conducted an unscientific survey. Of the 12 teens I tested, only one could touch her palms to the floor without bending her knees.

Oh, yes, two more took my test. I couldn’t touch the floor with my palms, but my wife could. She said she’ll make an appointment for me ...

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The contract’s fate is all in the timing

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Warren Spahn, a Hall of Fame pitcher who in 1957 won the World Series and Cy Young award playing for the Milwaukee Braves, said, “Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.”

What a simple way to sum up baseball. In bridge, timing can also be vital. In today’s deal, how should South time the play to make four hearts after West leads the spade queen? Let’s assume that declarer ducks (loses) the first trick and takes the second with dummy’s ace.

That South hand is worth more than 18 points because of all those aces and kings.

South needs to assume that the trumps are breaking 3-2; otherwise, the contract has no chance.

But even then, declarer still has four potential losers: one spade, one heart and two diamonds. The major-suit losers are unavoidable. If the missing diamonds are 3-3, there won’t be a problem. If, though, they are the more likely 4-2, declarer will have to ruff a diamond in the dummy.

Suppose South cashes his top trumps, then plays three rounds of diamonds. West wins the third diamond, cashes his heart jack, and takes the diamond queen for down one.

If instead South immediately plays three rounds of diamonds, West wins and plays a fourth diamond, which promotes a second trump trick for the defense.

The correct timing is not obvious. South must duck the first round of diamonds. Probably East will win and play another spade.

South ruffs, draws two rounds of trumps, then reverts to diamonds.

Even if a defender could ruff a high diamond, the contract would still be safe.
