Taking flight Young Eagles offers children chance to soar through skies

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – The day started out chilly and overcast, but by fly time, the gray skies had been replaced with sunshine and white fluffy clouds, little wind and perfect conditions for flying in airplanes.

Some three or four dozen kids turned out at Saturday’s Young Eagles event at the Morris Municipal Airport to take rides in the nine airplanes flown by volunteer pilots of the Experimental Aircraft Association, EAA, Chapter 95. It’s a biannual event held the second weeks in June and September to give children ages 8 to 17 a taste of flying.

“We want to spike interest in aviation,” said Matt Trofimchuck, an EAA board member.

“We want to show them that there’s a world out there that has a lot of opportunities for careers in the field.”

Piloting and owning an airplane is a fantastic hobby, too, he said. The pilots who gave rides Saturday were volunteers for the day, giving their own time and paying for the gas used.

“Because I like planes,” was 15-year-old Abby Eisenbeis’ response when asked why she wanted to be a part of Saturday’s event. “I like riding in them. I like being up there with the clouds.”

It was Abby’s sixth time up in a plane. They flew cloud-level, she said. Abby said she has her sights set on becoming a doctor, but that she might like to take up flying as a hobby when she gets older. She said she would tell other students

not to be afraid to go up in airplanes and to take advantage of the Young Eagles program.

“The planes are really safe in my opinion,” she said, “and the pilots are really good.”

Taylor Mino, 8, of Seneca said she had fun on her flight and wasn’t scared. She has flown in a commercial airplane before, but not a two-seater like on Saturday. It’s pretty different than flying in a large plane, she said.

“It was really fun right when we got in the air,” said Jese Breen, 10. “It looked like patches of a quilt. I saw my school and the pool. I think it was funny because we just learned about the people who invented planes in school.”

Jana Trofimchuck, Matt’s wife, was one of the pilots. The Coal City couple are a two-plane family with a production-built, two-seat super decathlon aerobatic trainer and an experimental RV7 they constructed in their garage at home.

Jana took several young fliers up on Saturday and said she enjoys doing it.

“We don’t know who has more fun,” she said, “Us or the kids. On days like this, I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face and go to bed at night with a smile on my face.”

Christopher Checca of Minooka was another of the event’s pilots, with his Vans

RV-6A. “We want to grow the pilot population,” he said, “and show them the joy of flying. Every kid should get at least one ride in a plane.”

Checca said when the kids go up for the first time, they’re always tickled at how tiny things are, like Legos. They’re also surprised at how fast the planes fly.

“Very few of them get scared,” he said. “I’ve never had a kid cry or scream. I usually let them move the control

her first couple of times up were pretty nerve-wracking.

She only went up because her younger sister went up, she said.

“Finally, I started liking it,” she said. “It’s a whole new perspective. It’s another thing to accomplish and another thing to do.”

stick. ... Some are very timid once they feel the movement after moving the stick. ... Some of them will fly half the flight.”

One of the children who went up was a bit nervous, so 17-year-old Young Eagle Sam Limbach went with her on the flight. Sam already has three hours logged in to be a pilot herself and has flown in 20 airplanes and three helicopters.

She washes planes at the airport for money that she saves for pilot lessons.

Morris to pay for water main improvements

By JESSICA BOURQUE

jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The city of Morris will pay D Construction more than $40,000 to complete water main improvements underneath Route 47 near Brentwood Drive.

The improvements will be completed in conjunction with the ongoing patching and repaving of the highway, which has shut down one-lane of traffic for the past week. The repaving project is being paid for by the Illinois Department of Transportation and completed

by D Construction.

Because D Construction al-

ready is working on the road, its crews will have all of the equipment and access needed to install the new water main, Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said during Monday’s city council meeting, where the expenditure was approved.

“They are going to have mobilization already there. We would have to rent the equipment. We would have to rent the signage,” Kopczick said.

“D (Construction) has it all put in and dealt with,” he continued.

The new 10-inch water main will connect the East and West sides of Route 47, and it will replace a 4-inch main.

The city did not take the project out for bid because it wanted to take advantage of D Construction’s access to the area.

“The water department has been anxious to get this done for a long time,” City Engineer Guy Christensen told the council. “With D Construction working on the repavement, it’s an opportune time to take advantage of their traffic control and equipment.”

Like the repavement work, the new water main will be installed during the nighttime hours to minimize traffic interruptions, Christensen said.

The work is expected to be-

Cruise Night draws crowd to downtown Morris

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Cooler than normal temperatures may have drawn a smaller crowd to view the cars Saturday nightaccording to Herb Wyeth founder of Morris Cruise Night, but that didn’t keep the 736 cars that entered from showing up.

“It was awesome. We had a great turn out and a great crowd,” Herb Wyeth said.

Cars came in from 130 different cities and saw people from Arkansas, Tennessee and Indiana, in addition to Illinois residents.

Morris Cruise Night is about more than just cars. It’s about community and helping area nonprofits selected as beneficiaries. September’s Beneficiary was We Care of Grundy County, which built up a pot of $10,573, the second largest pot in We Care’s history, at Cruise Night.

“We Care truly enjoys the opportunity to be a beneficiary, not only for the fundraising potential, but also for the public relations aspect of the event,” said Denise Gaska, executive director of We Care.

By the numbers • Number of Entries: 736 • Beneficiaries Choice Award by We Care of Grundy County: Ann Polson, of Morris, for her 2008 Saturn Sky • Celebrity Choice Award by Rolf Helland of Illinois Truck and Equipment: Bill Morris, of Minooka, for his 1956 Belair Convertible • Winner of the 50/50 was Sheryl Smith, who received about $5,286

We Care has participated in nine Cruise Night seasons since their first in 2003 and has raised about $26,000, which is used for food for its food pantry, rent applications and electricity bill help offered to the community.

Event beneficiaries raise money through 50/50 sales, food tent sales and entrant admission fees.

Gaska said running the food tent has been a challenge in previous years, but this

Dean Marxman’s Bothwell Farms stand, out of New Lenox, was popular with shoppers Saturday at 3 French Hens market.

October will likely feature vegetables, he said, such as lettuces, beets and radishes.

Business was brisk at his stall. Joe and Marsha Mehaffey, of Morris, were stocking up on fresh produce, purchasing half a bushel of Roma tomatoes and several purple onions

to make salsa.

“We have a garden,” Joe Mehaffey said, “but we subsidize it with things here.”

Lines were long Saturday at the latte stand, the cheese stand, bakery booths and the corn dog and pizza stands.

Shoppers could be seen walk-

ing away with antiques, craft items, flowers, sweaters, lawn ornaments and small bags of jewelry, hair pieces or postcards.

MORRIS – Although Monica Vogel now lives on the East Coast, she still returns to run 3 French Hens Country Market with Whimsy’s Traci Tessone each month.

Saturday’s market was no exception. Vogel estimated more than 3,000 shoppers attended the weekend’s event, featuring 110 vendors. Busy, but not as “crazy busy” as it was in August, she said.

The market at Canal Port in downtown Morris was awash with shoppers, friends, family and their children, some playing on the life-sized wooden replica of an I&M canal boat.

Vendor stalls featured fall items, with orange pumpkins everywhere – ceramic pumpkins, pumpkin and whoopee pies, metal pumpkin lawn ornaments and, of course, squash.

Fresh produce also was abundant. Peppers, cucumbers, eggplant and tomatoes were for sale, but probably will not be at next month’s market, said Dean Marxman of Bothwell Farms in New Lenox.

showing some unique handbags made of deer and antelope leather or of Zapotec Indian rug remnants at her stand, Stringing the Stone.

“They’re beautiful,” Lyon said. “They have a nice design.”

Lyon said she tries to make it to the market every month.

“There’s so much to see,” she said. “There’s beautiful crafts, and you get to see people you haven’t seen in a while.”

Webb buys the hides for her purses, designs the bags, hand punches them and stitches the pieces together, adding design elements. Sales at her booth, which also features turquoise and other stone and coral jewelry and silverwork, were very good Saturday.

John Weil, of Minooka, found a nice spot in the sun to rest and wait for his wife.

He said they go to the market often. His wife might buy vegetables or fruit, and if they have their grandchildren with them, they’ll buy snacks or little trinkets.

Weil said they also have friends in Oak Park and Berwyn who caravan to the market every year.

KEAGAN THE KID

Sophomore Keagan Sobol puts up big numbers in Morris’ win Friday / 12

Morris sophomore Keagan Sobol runs the ball against Dundee-Crown on Friday in Morris. Sobol had 187 yards for the night.

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

MORRIS 27, DUNDEE-CROWN 0

Sophomore Keagan Sobol leads Morris to big win MORRIS – In horse racing, when a horse runs well on a wet track, he’s called a mudder.

After Friday night, you can hand that label over to Morris’ Keagan Sobol, as well.

Midway through the first quarter, Redskins senior running back Jake Walker went to the sideline after re-injuring his ankle during the Redskins’ 27-0 win over Dundee-Crown.

Sobol, a sophomore who starts at linebacker and usually sees spot duty in the backfield on offense, was suddenly thrust to the forefront of the offense on a wet, rainy night that got the most use of his powerful running style.

Immediately on entering the game in Walker’s stead, Sobol had back-to-back 14yard gains and the Chargers couldn’t stop him the rest of the night. He finished with 187 yards rushing and a touchdown on 23 carries.

“I really didn’t expect to carry the ball that many times,” Sobol said after the game. “But when Jake got hurt, the coaches said they wanted me to get in there, so I did.

“It was pretty easy to run through the big holes that the offensive line was opening up.”

“Keagan certainly doesn’t play like a sophomore,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said.

“He plays like he’s on his third year of varsity ball already. Whatever we ask him to do, he’s ready to do it.”

Not only did Sobol spearhead the offense by keeping G run d y C ou

“We knew they had a lot of speed on the outside,” Sobol said. “We just knew we had to counter that and play physical up front and not let them get outside. We were ready for a lot of things they wanted to do.”

Morris (2-1) held DundeeCrown, which had scored 77 points in its first two games, to just eight total yards and zero first downs in the first half.

The Chargers finished with three first downs and 42 total yards. The Redskins, meanwhile, controlled the ball and the clock with their running game, amassing 357 yards on the ground and collecting 21 first downs. Besides Keagan Sobol’s touchdown, they got scores from Griffin Sobol and Joey Webb (eight carries, 42 yards) on the ground and a 27yard scoring pass from Griffin Sobol to Tommy Balentine.

Matt Feiden added 65 yards on eight rushing attempts.

BRAIDWOOD – Seneca had seemingly established itself as a team that would win behind its defense, limiting Dwight and Nokomis to a combined total of 14 points and 358 yards.

Early Friday night, ReedCuster seemed to expose that identity as fraudulent. The Comets piled up five first downs and 101 yards as they produced touchdowns both times they got the ball.

“We came out kinda soft,” Seneca defensive lineman Alex Mann said, “Because ReedCuster, the last few years, they haven’t done very well, but they came out and showed us who they were.”

From there, the Fighting Irish may have played their best defense of the season as they rallied to win, 14-12. ReedCuster gained only 59 more yards and three first downs after the opening quarter. Its yardage total was the lowest by an Irish opponent all season.

“I think we just calmed down,” Seneca coach Ted O’Boyle said. “The big play [a 48-yard Don Vercelote touchdown run in the first quarter], coach [Don Brown] had a call, and we didn’t come up, we didn’t do what we’d been working on all week. The speed – I tried to tell our guys, the speed of this game is going to be

tough in the first quarter, because the first two games we played did not have this speed.

So we had to get adjusted to that speed, and I think once we adjusted to their speed, we were a ton better.”

Reed-Custer averaged under 2 yards a play from the second quarter on, and its ability to move the ball was further hampered by its four lost fumbles. Seneca won the turnover battle, 4-1.

In its losses to Coal City and Manteno during the first two weeks of the season, Reed-Custer had indicated to O’Boyle that it could be forced into such mistakes.

“We talked all week about, if you make them drive it the length of the field, we think they’ll put it on the ground.

We’d seen a lot of turnovers,” O’Boyle said. “Just an outstanding effort by our defense once again after the first quarter.”

On the other side of the ball, the results continue to be underwhelming for the Irish, but they again did just enough to win. They got 99 yards on 17 carries from Casey Pifer but were limited to 33 yards on their other 25 rushing attempts. Four pass attempts by Zach Russell produced one 48yard completion when Hunter Simon made a spectacular catch, but also an interception and two incompletions.

PRESENTED BY BEARS NOTES

Loss of Tillman a severe blow to Bears’ D BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush preciate the kind words of encouragement and support from all the Bears fans who have reached out to me.

“I know this feeling way too well, but this isn’t the end of the road for me. As I rehab my injury, my role will transition to helping coach and support my teammates.

I will be at Halas Hall and do everything I can to help our team reach its goals.”

Along with Roosevelt Taylor and Leslie Frazier, Tillman is one of the three best cornerbacks in Bears history.

Over the past two seasons in 16 games in 2012 and eight games last year, Tillman forced 13 fumbles, intercepted six passes and returned three for touchdowns.

The severity of his loss is hard to overstate.

Obviously Kyle Fuller will step into Tillman’s role, and after a big game in San Francisco, he appears ready.

There is a learning curve to be absorbed, and it’s beyond unreasonable to expect Fuller to be Tillman after just two games

I know this feeling way too well, but this isn’t the end of the road for me.”

Charles Tillman Bears cornerback

on the job, but he is an exciting replacement.

Where Tillman’s loss will be felt most is in the Bears nickel packages.

Through two games the Bears have lined up in a nickel defense on 59 of their opponents’ 121 plays, 49 percent of the time.

Before Tillman’s injury he, Tim Jennings and Fuller all were on the field with two safeties in every one of those sets, with Shea McClellin and D.J. Williams most often on the sidelines and Lance Briggs and Jonathan Bostic in at linebacker.

In most of those sets, Tillman and Fuller remained on the outside, while Jennings became the slot corner.

It is unclear who will take Tillman’s spot and whether that player will stay outside or if Jennings will come back outside and “Peanut’s” replacement goes into the slot.

IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE

Despite victory, special teams did the Bears no great favors

Before the 49ers game, Kelvin Hayden would have been the next man up and Sherrick McMannis after him.

However, Hayden was released Friday to make room on the roster for Chris Williams and Josh Bellamy because of the injuries at receiver, and as of this writing, he had not been re-signed.

Tillman’s roster spot was used to bring back fullback Tony Fiametta, and McMannis left the Niners game with a quad injury and was unable to return.

Isaiah Frey filled Hayden’s spot as the starting nickel last year while Hayden was out with a torn hamstring, and he remains on the Bears’ practice squad.

But the fall off from Hayden to Frey was noticeable and the difference between either player and Tillman is severe.

If in fact Tillman is through, there will be plenty of time to eulogize his career.

For now, we can only hope that “Peanut” coaching up Fuller and whoever is brought in to take his place will be enough to keep the Bears secondary competitive.

2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@shawmedia.com SANTA CLARA, Calif. – On one punt in the second quarter, the Bears drew three penalty flags. Three.

And that only epitomized the problems on special teams, continuing a preseason narrative because of the unit’s struggles and overhaul in personnel.

The laughable three-penalty punt came in addition to two earlier penalties on special teams – a Shaun Draughn hold on the opening kickoff return and one on Christian Jones on a punt return.

The 49ers blocked Pat O’Donnell’s opening punt, with Aaron Lynch making the play by getting past Draughn, and scored a touchdown three plays later.

Joe DeCamillis’ group only hurt the Bears on a night when the defense forced two first-half turnovers and the offense could barely move the ball in the first half. It was a game in which special teams could help propel the Bears to an upset, but instead it was an example of them beating themselves.

To make matters worse, two core special-teamers, Sherrick McManis and Trevor Scott, left the game with quad and foot injuries, respectively.

Peanut goes down: Cornerback Charles Tillman left the game in the third quarter with a right triceps injury, the same one he tore last season.

TV cameras caught Tillman in tears on the sideline, as he remained on the bench instead of going to the locker room.

Judging by his reaction, if it was a seasonending injury, it may also be the type that ends Tillman’s outstanding career with the Bears.

With McManis already out with a quadriceps injury, the Bears were down to only two healthy corners after cutting Kelvin Hayden. They had to use their base defense when the 49ers had threewideout sets.

Marshall and Jeffery start: Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery were truly game-time decisions. They tested their injuries out in front of the training staff two hours before kickoff, and Marc Trestman, Phil Emery, Aaron Kromer and others had a long huddle to determine their status. Marshall clearly didn’t seem hampered by his ankle injury on his acrobatic one-handed touchdown before halftime, and another score to start the fourth quarter. Jeffery, however, did not look to be 100 percent in terms of his speed. He had one catch in the first half.

TOTAL CASH

Going to the bullpen: The injuries at wide receiver forced the Bears to call up two of their most productive preseason players, Josh Bellamy and Chris Williams. Bellamy shined in the preseason finale and the Bears. Their services weren’t needed, but they could remain as long as Morgan is out, and Williams now has another opportunity to grab a return job, since Senorise Perry has not made an impact there.

Roster churning: To get Bellamy, Williams and Taylor Boggs up to the active roster, the Bears had to waive rookie quarterback David Fales and release veterans Tony Fiammetta and Kelvin Hayden. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Fales and Fiammetta return at some point. As much as the Bears clearly like Fales to keep him on the active roster, the dire need for help at receiver forced them to realize that they didn’t need a No. 3 quarterback this week.

Quick hits: Safety Chris Conte left the game with a shoulder injury and did not return, and neither did Jeremiah Ratliff, who was evaluated for a concussion. ... As the Bears rotate captains each week, they went with Jermon Bushrod, McManis and Jeremiah Ratliff for Sunday night’s game.

Anyone who watched the full 60 minutes of the Bears’ stirring come-from-behind victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night had to know there would be some bad news delivered in the aftermath.

As Bears players left the game one after the other with injuries, it was clear the Bears’ already lengthy M.A.S.H. list would grow longer.

We hoped against hope the news delivered Monday could be avoided, but the Bears have placed Charles Tillman on injured reserve with a ruptured right Triceps muscle, the same injury that ended his season in Week 8 last year I was on the Bears’ sideline, and as Tillman walked past me being helped from the field, it was clear he was in excruciating pain.

When Bears trainers and doctors told him they believed it was the same Triceps injury again, Tillman let out a primal scream that signaled the worst was coming.

As hard as Tillman worked to get back this year, it is hard to imagine him doing it again as he faces his 34th birthday in February.

But “Peanut” isn’t calling it quits yet. In a statement released by the Bears, Tillman said, “I ap-

AREA ROUNDUP

Saratoga baseball remains unbeaten STAFF REPORTS MORRIS – It wasn’t easy, but the Saratoga baseball team remained undefeated Saturday, defeating Shabbona, 12-2, and then edging defending IESA Class 3A champion Coal City, 1-0.

Against Shabbona, winning pitcher Luke Olbrot struck out seven and allowed two runs in five innings. Alex Cameron (2 for 2, double), Jacob Overbeck (triple) and Chad Heren all had two RBIs. Overbeck struck out seven in the shutout win over Coal City, while Ethan Heap had the game’s only RBI. The wins put the Hawks at a 17-0 as they enter this week’s IESA Class 2A postseason in which they host their own regional and sectional. As the top seed, they have a bye in today’s first round before playing Saturday at 10 a.m. against the winner of fourth-seeded Dwight and fifth-seeded Indian Creek.

Should they win that game, they will play at 4:30 against the winner of Saturday’s second semifinal, which features second-seeded South Wilmington and the winner of today’s Marseilles-Seneca game. The sectional will be held the next week.

OPINION

17 Morris Daily Herald / morrisdailyherald.com • Tuesday, September 16, 2014

Money talking in state races The Illinois House Democrats launched their direct mail and TV program weeks earlier than the House Republicans in an attempt to knock the GOP candidates down before they even had a chance to stand up.

The mail started going out not long after the mid-August Illinois State Fair. Four years ago, during a national Republican tidal wave, the House Republicans preemptively launched their advertising program in mid-September, catching the Democrats off guard. The Republicans won a few seats they might not have picked off had they started at the usual time. The Democrats learned a valuable lesson: raised an absolute ton of money, and began their mail and TV programs even earlier.

As a result, the Republicans, who don’t have much money, have been buried by hundreds of thousands of dollars in early Democratic advertising.

Bruce Rauner has been running his “Shake up Springfield” ads all year long. He’s spent millions building his anti-incumbent, outsider message of term limits, tax cuts and property tax freezes.

But if you look at what the Democrats are doing everywhere in the state, the long-entrenched super-majority party is running very similar ads to Rauner’s. They are, in one GOP operative’s view, protecting their members by portraying Republican challengers as tax-loving incumbents and “tying them to the dysfunction.”

Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, is “fighting against unfair property tax hikes” by pushing legislation to cap them, it continues. A concurrently running cable TV ad presses home the same message: Thillens loves tax hikes and deficit spending.

“Politicians get enough perks when they retire,” another pro-Moylan mailer states.

“They shouldn’t get free health

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller care, too.”

The Republicans have a positive piece in the mailboxes for Thillens. It points out that Thillens “helps run a multi-million dollar family business,” and explains why he wants to work “60 hours a week as a state Representative.”

The early and quite expensive “independent outsider” messaging has attracted significant Republican support for Moylan. He’s getting 19 percent of self-identified Republicans, compared to Thillens’ nine percent of Democrats. And the two are so far splitting the conservative-leaning independent vote, which made up 46 percent of the poll’s voter sample.

That also can be seen as a sign of trouble for Moylan, however. If Republican voters “come home” and independents break more heavily against the incumbent Moylan, this thing could tighten up.

The House Democrats’ messaging is obviously designed to prevent that from happening.

Of course, this is just one poll – a “snapshot in time.” The House Democrats say their polling shows them “in the driver’s seat” in the district and the Republicans actually liked the We Ask America results.

That poll was done by respected national pollster Fabrizio Lee on behalf of WLS Radio talk show host Dan Proft’s political fund. The live-caller survey of 300 likely voters was taken the week of Aug. 25 and had a margin of error of +/-5.5 percent. The House Democrats much preferred those numbers, of course.

When the first settlers arrived, Easter Island was covered with lush vegetation and tall palm trees. By the time Europeans visited in the 1700s, the island was barren and nearly all of the trees had been cut down.

The Polynesian name for Easter Island is Rapa Nui, and the Spanish name is Isla de Pascua.

Justin Long talks about becoming a walrus in ‘Tusk’

By ED SYMKUS

More Content Now Fans of young-looking actor Justin Long will have no problem recognizing him during the first half of Kevin Smith’s new horror-comedy “Tusk.”

Well, they might be caught off-guard by the big bushy mustache he’s sporting in the film. But the voice and eyes and manner of speech that he’s shown off in “Galaxy Quest” and “Live Free or Die Hard,” among many others, have made him a familiar and likable film personality. But there might be some difficulty recognizing him – except for those eyes – in the second half, after a mad scientist (Michael Parks) has turned him into a walrus.

Just remember that term “horror-comedy.” The enthusiastic Long, 36, now mustache-free, shared some thoughts about Smith and his film last week at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Ed Symkus: The rumor is that Kevin Smith sent you an email offering you the part.

Justin Long: Yeah, that was a little over a year ago now.

I didn’t know anything about the back story. I hadn’t been listening to the podcast that explained the origins of it. Kevin smokes and does these podcasts, and they bring up stories that they find interesting.

One of which was this ad that was taken out in the British version of what would be Craigslist that’s called Gumtree.

The posting said it was looking for a lodger to come stay, free room and board, and all they had to do was dress up as a walrus for two hours during the day. The back story was that this guy was an old adventurer who had been lost at sea, and at one point was kept company by this walrus that was bobbing around his craft, and he felt throughout his life he

Justin Long stars in Kevin Smith’s new horror-comedy “Tusk.” had never formed as deep a connection with a human being as he had with this walrus. He thought he was facing death, so it galvanized this feeling.

It turned out to be a hoax, but it piqued Kevin’s curiosity when he still thought it was true, so much so that he started writing the script. He said in the email that he conceived it as Hammer horror movie, and I love all that stuff, like “human lizard man.”

Now the best way to preface anything with an actor is flattery, and I was flattered by the email, and just by the fact that he would want me to do it.

Symkus: You’ve worked with Kevin on a couple of movies. Do you know him very well?

Long: Not really. I loved working with him, but I’d only done two days on [his film] “Zack and Miri,” and he did only a couple days [acting] on “Die Hard.” But he was very collaborative on this film.

After I read the script, I went over to his house.

There was a little reticence in the idea of giving

somebody like Kevin Smith notes, or ideas that differ from what’s in the script.

But he is the most collaborative, flexible, open-minded guy I’ve ever worked with.

Symkus: It’s a really strange role in an even stranger movie. Were you at all nervous about taking the part?

Long: Oh, yes, absolutely.

I knew I was going to do it because I wanted to work with Kevin, and I got to the point in my career where having fun with these movies became the most important thing.

I found myself taking jobs just because I love to work. My mom was an actress, and I grew up with the mentality that actors go where the jobs are. [An actor friend] said that actors are carnies and they go where the tents are. I think, maybe to my detriment, I followed that.

But then I started weighing jobs a little bit more.

And fun has become the No. 1 criteria.

Symkus: Has any acting training you’ve had prepared you to do a role like this?

More Content Now photo

Long: For the beginning part of it, I thought a lot about guys who are great storytellers, and Vince Vaughn kept coming to mind because he loves telling stories. But toward the end, with the animal stuff ... . You know, there’s a lot of acting classes.

Like in the Acting 101 intro classes, there’s a lot of animal work – “Be an animal. You’re a monkey, you’re this, you’re that.”

It reminded me a little bit of that, just a basic connecting with the primal part of yourself. Doing that was weirdly liberating.

But squeezing into that claustrophobic suit, and then four hours of makeup, wasn’t fun.

But once I got in there, and I had the tusks on, my job was to just connect to that. I have to become an animal, that’s where the character goes.

I remember one day, my girlfriend and my dog came to the set, and my dog freaked out when he saw it.

My poor dog. What a jerk I am. (Laughs.)

ADVICE

Wife disapproves of ‘educational’ DVDs Dear Abby: I am a full-time

mother of three young children and have been married for nine years. Since the beginning, my husband has pushed to have things “his way.” He struggles with his temper and has yelled at me over little things.

We have met with a counselor and were showing improvement in our marriage – or so I thought – until he started pushing me to watch explicit sex DVDs and read sex books. I feel very uncomfortable doing this. He claims he wants us to watch them for “educational reasons.” He seems obsessed with the idea that we have to get the most out of life NOW because we are getting older.

I know we have some big issues to overcome and plan to continue seeing our counselor, but do you have any advice? – Struggling In The South Dear Struggling: I’m all for

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips getting the most out of life regardless of how old a person is. And I’m pleased that you and your husband are talking to a licensed therapist, because it may help to save your marriage.

Many couples watch “explicit” sex DVDs together because it improves their sex lives. Depending upon the content of the ones your husband is watching, it could add spice to your sex life. But because it is making you uncomfortable, this is something that should be discussed.

Dear Abby: I am a woman in my early 60s. I take good care of myself and have been told I’m attractive. I have been in a monogamous relationship with “Frank”

for six years. I love him and he loves me, but I’m not sure I want to marry him.

I know I couldn’t live with Frank full-time because even though he’s 57, he lives like an immature frat boy. He is a hoarder, a procrastinator and has OCD. Frank and I are best friends.

We have an amazing physical relationship, but I feel I want more.

Should I accept this relationship for what it is, or look for someone more compatible? – Torn In Texas Dear Torn: I think you should have a talk with Frank and lay your cards on the table.

You say he is a hoarder, a procrastinator and has OCD. If you are right, they may all be connected. His house isn’t the only thing that may be chaotic; his mind may be, too.

Simple measures combat low blood pressure Dear Doctor K: Recently, my blood pressure has been low. I feel tired and dizzy. What could be causing this and what can I do?

Dear Reader: Low blood pressure is not considered a problem unless, as in your case, it causes symptoms. In fact, if it is not causing symptoms, low blood pressure can be a good thing.

The typical symptoms caused by low blood pressure include weakness and dizziness, which can increase your risk of fainting and falling. If a person who did not previously have low blood pressure develops it, and has weakness and dizziness, he or she could be developing a heart problem.

I’m assuming your doctor has checked you out and has not found any heart problem. So let’s discuss other possible causes of low blood pressure, and what you can do to feel better.

A common cause of low blood pressure is overtreatment of high blood pressure. A person’s blood pressure can vary a lot, day to day and week to week. Particularly when someone is relaxing, the “usual dose” of medicine may cause too much of a drop in blood pressure.

Some other types of commonly prescribed medications also cause blood pressure to drop too low.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Alpha blockers (used for prostate problems, and also for high blood pressure), antihistamines and tricyclic antidepressants are all possible culprits. Your doctor can determine if any of your medications may be affecting your blood pressure.

Dehydration can also cause low blood pressure. You might not feel thirsty, but you could still be dehydrated.

Another possible cause is postural, or orthostatic, hypotension.

In this condition, blood pressure falls dramatically when you stand.

(I’ve put an illustration of this on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Here are some things you can do to counter low blood pressure: • Take your time standing up.

Move gradually from lying down to sitting to standing.

• Wiggling your toes and flexing your feet before you stand up can help improve blood pressure. So can temporarily squatting and stooping forward. These maneuvers can improve your pressure because they push blood that’s pooled in your legs back up to the

heart. As a result, the heart has more blood to pump to the brain.

Once you’re standing, crossing and tensing your legs may improve blood flow, for the same reason.

• Review your medications with your doctor and perhaps make a change. Your doctor may be able to substitute a different drug for one that is affecting your blood pressure.

• Increase your fluid intake.

When you don’t drink enough fluid, the volume of blood decreases and blood pressure may drop.

• Consider increasing your salt intake. This may help prevent fluid loss and increase blood volume.

But check with your doctor before you decide to try this.

• Drink coffee. Caffeine boosts blood pressure.

• Exercise more. Orthostatic hypotension sometimes goes away when people improve their cardiovascular fitness.

In most cases, low blood pressure with bothersome symptoms will respond to these simple measures.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. Visit www.AskDoctorK. com to send questions and get additional information.

It’s hard to please everyone Dr. Wallace: I’m 19, and so is my husband, and we have a 3-monthold daughter. We’re happily married and thrilled to be parents.

He works in construction for his brother’s company. He’s a very hard worker and earns a good salary, so I don’t have to be employed, and that allows me to be a full-time mother.

I like that, and so do my parents and my husband.

My husband works 10 hours a day, six days a week. On Sundays, we go to church in the morning and just stay at home the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying our daughter. But this makes my mother mad because she thinks we should be spending time at her house. She also thinks we’re trying to avoid her and being anti-family.

We live about 30 miles from my parents, and at least once a month we spend a Sunday evening at their house and we do the same for his parents.

But my mother doesn’t think that’s enough.

Please give me your thoughts on this. My mother is a faithful reader of your column.

– Lauren, Orlando, Florida Dear Lauren: You are not being anti-family.

Your husband and daughter are now the members of the prime family in your life, and your first responsibility is to them. Your extended family, especially your parents, remains important, of course, but your relationship with them has changed.

It may take a little more time to work out a new routine that everyone feels comfortable with.

It’s awfully hard to please everyone, so that

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace shouldn’t be your intent. The goal should be finding ways for extended family members to enjoy one another and express their love. Why not invite your parents over to your place once in a while after church to have lunch and enjoy their granddaughter?

This could be a relaxing time, and a good start on a new relationship with Mom and Dad. Dr. Wallace: My aunt recently told my mom that her daughter, who is 17, has an eating disorder. She’s bulimic.

I don’t see how this is possible because she looks normal, not skinny. In fact, I’ve seen her eat junk food. I think my aunt is just making this up because her daughter has been in a lot of trouble and saying that she’s bulimic is a way of excusing her behavior. Please tell me my cousin couldn’t be bulimic. – Sheila, New York City, New York Dear Sheila: It’s possible your cousin is bulimic. You’re confusing bulimia with anorexia, which is another serious eating disorder. Anorexia is defined as voluntary starvation resulting in a minimum weight loss of 15 percent. Bulimics, on the other hand, will habitually gorge themselves, and then induce vomiting to eliminate the food. While anorexics become emaciated, bulimics usually maintain a normal weight or are even a tad heavier.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

There is more than one option

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Trent Reznor, a singer-songwriter, composer and record producer, said, “Being a rock and roll star has become as legitimate a career option as being an astronaut or a policeman or a fireman.”

That is an interesting list of comparisons when you contemplate the various incomes from those professions.

In this deal, though, the key word is “option.” Which option should South choose? He is in three no-trump. West leads the heart jack and East plays his seven. How should South continue?

West has a textbook weak twobid, North has a textbook takeout double, and South has a clearcut jump to three no-trump. It is just a pity that the contract isn’t laydown. South has only eight winners: four spades, one heart (trick one) and three diamonds. He has to establish a club trick, but that will involve losing the lead twice and will give the defenders a chance to run the heart suit.

If West has a high club, the contract is unmakable. So South must assume that East has the club ace and king. However, if declarer takes the first trick and immediately plays a club, East will get in and return his second heart. Then South will go down three, losing five hearts and two clubs.

South has another option at trick one: Let West take the trick.

Now the contract makes; declarer will lose only two hearts and two clubs.

You will often have two options at the bridge table, whether in the bidding or play. Analyze both and hopefully you will realize that one is better than the other.
