Grundy legislative committee reviews liquor licenses

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County’s liquor commissioner asked to get more information from several Grundy County businesses that serve alcohol. The Grundy County Legislative Committee accepted annual liquor license applications Tuesday night and approved five of the 10 pending applications.

“As we reviewed information in committee there were questions on some of the paperwork,” David Welter, board chairman and county liquor commissioner, said Wednesday. “The committee approved allowing me to grant the licenses once the information is gathered.”

A resident of Goose Lake who was at the meeting representing Goose Lake Association called into question the license for Gippers II, located on Pine Bluff Road in Grundy County, during the public speaking portion of the meeting.

The county liquor license requires owners or bar managers of an establishment selling liquor in Grundy County to be a resident of the county. The resident questioned whether Gippers II met that requirement.

Pryor said they have checked with neighboring counties and municipalities within Grundy County and the requirement for the owner or manager to live in the governing body of where the

Country Club.

Welter said he anticipates getting the information and approving the licenses. Liquor license applications are done each December by the county.

The committee also sent an ordinance to the full board to be voted on at the December regular board meeting to allow bars to serve until 2 a.m. on New Year’s Eve regardless of what night of the week it is. Currently, bars can serve until 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

The ordinance will allow an extra hour if New Year’s Eve falls on Sunday through Thursday, but will not change the time if it falls on Friday or Saturday.

Welter said the county follows the ordinance, and an inquiry will be made to ensure the business meets liquor license requirements.

“We have to follow the ordinance. Either the owner or manager has to live here,” Welter said. “It is my intention to enforce the policy.”

Liquor license approval was made for Honest Abe’s, Morris American Legion, who sells alcohol at the Grundy County Speedway, Sparrow Development and Moose Lodge.

Morris Community High School Madrigal Dinner set for Friday, Saturday

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Community High School Madrigal Singers have been in the Christmas spirit since August.

That’s when the singers started practicing for this year’s Madrigal Dinner, which will take place at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the school’s cafeteria, or what is known for the dinner durations as “The Grande Hall.”

Although Christmas music might not be playing everywhere yet, seniors Abby Benson and Aubrey Thomson and sophomore Collin Severson aren’t tired of the songs they’ve been singing for the past few months.

“I love them, they’re Christmas songs,” Benson said.

“They lift our spirits and make us happy.”

During rehearsals this week, most singers didn’t need a lyric sheet. The few who did hold them while singing were just using them as a precaution.

What’s more difficult than remembering the words to songs in the show, the three said, is to remember when to deliver their lines. A little more than half the show is sung, while the rest is acted, they said.

“It’s hard to remember where your line comes up,” Benson said. “For example, mine is after an applause. I have to make sure the timing is right so the audience hears me.”

The plot of the show, which changes from year to year, involves three suitors who fight for the hand of a princess.

While it features both a traditional plot and traditional music, the cast has peppered in modern pop culture references.

Thomson plays Lady Felicity, who is named after the “Bye, Felicia” meme phenom-

Morris’ Operation St. Nick auction set for Sunday

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Operation St. Nick has given to those in need with its many programs for more than three decades, but it’s operating with a new motto.

“God gave us two hands – one to receive our blessings with, and the other to turn around and give blessings to those in need,” Operation St. Nick founder Joe Schmitz said.

Operation St. Nick is a nonprofit that helps Grundy County families in need throughout the year with programs for Christmas, back to school, veterans and more. From 8 a.m. to noon Sunday, the 33rd annual Operation St. Nick Auction will be broadcast live on WCSJAM 1550 and WCSJ-FM 103.1.

The auction has raised about $120,000 annually in the past two years, Schmitz said.

A guitar made by Morris Community High School industrial arts students and signed by Jimmy Stafford – a Morris native and guitarist of rock band Train – is one of the marquee items in this year’s auction.

“It’s something we could probably put on the Internet to sell and who knows what we’d get for it,” Schmitz said. “But Stafford wanted someone from Morris to have it and so do we.”

Next week, the process of gathering gifts starts for the 12 Days of Christmas Giving program, which helps fill Christmas lists for military veterans who have been honorably discharged and their families.

Morris church to bring Nativity to life First Presbyterian Church of Morris to present living Nativity scene

“It’s more memorable when you see it life size and moving in front of you. It brings people back to the basics, it reinforces our beliefs and sets your mind for Christmas.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Members of the First Presbyterian Church in Morris want the public to participate in their living Nativity scene by joining them Sunday as actors and live animals re-create the night Jesus was born.

“It’s a unique way to present the story of the birth of Christ,” the Rev. Jeri Baker said. “It allows them to participate in the story and watch it as it unfolds.”

Baker once called it a live nativity scene, but now has dubbed the event a “living Nativity scene” to stress the importance of becoming part of the story.

She said having live actors and animals brings the typical Nativity scene from a picture to

Morris singers excited to work with new choir director • MADRIGALS

Continued from page 3 Severson said his character has too small a role to get a name.

“But I do have a wife, though,” he said. “[I’m] the only one in the show, besides the king, to have a wife.”

Benson and Thomson, who sang for years under former choir director Alyssa Napolitano, said they enjoy the adjusting to new choir director Benjamin Brown.

“I encourage students to make suggestions or try coming up with jokes to keep the show interesting,” Brown said. “The jesters and knights have helped out quite a bit with that.”

Even with an extensive performing arts background, this is Brown’s first time doing a Madrigal Dinner. He said the process has gone relatively smoothly.

“It’s very important to be upbeat,” Benson said. “It can

get overwhelming because of conflicting schedules within the group. With a good director who has high spirits, it keeps our spirits up so that we have fun each day.”

Brown said he tries to keep rehearsals fun. Over the course of two months, anything can get repetitive, he said, so he tries to hit upon different parts of the show in each rehearsal.

“The key with rehearsing is to help the students keep something called the ‘illusion of the first time,’” he said. “If students are over-rehearsed when the audience shows up, they have a tendency of flipping into autopilot and just going through the motions. If you can keep the show fresh and exciting in their minds, then shows tend to be better for audiences.”

Seating for each show, one on Friday and one on Saturday, begins at 6 p.m. both days. Tickets, which are $15 and include the catered dinner, are limited and will be sold at the door on a first-come, first-served basis.

Seminar to update Illinois farmers on motor vehicle regulations SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Area residents are invited to attend a seminar this month to learn how to straighten out the twists and turns in trucking rules applying to farmers.

Federal truck regulations affect virtually all operating farmers in Illinois. As “farm vehicle drivers,” many farmers enjoy exemptions.

However, new exemptions from the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations were made effective in November 2013, with Illinois legislation bringing additional changes in 2014 and 2015 for those operating a “covered farm vehicle.”

Residents and farmers alike are invited to learn the differences in those sets of exemptions in a seminar.

After the past 18 months, the Off-Highway Vehicle Stamp program has been started, retracted, re-legislat-

New medical card rules have kicked in: one last January and another in May. The USDOT Number & UCR registrations – and even the CDL – still are widely misunderstood.

The Grundy County Farm Bureau will host a two-hour seminar beginning at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 15 to address those regulations.

Interested parties are encouraged to join them at the Grundy County Farm Bureau office at 4000 N. Division St.

in Morris. The seminar will focus on trucking laws – new and old – that are important to farmers, focusing on the covered farm vehicle designation.

Topics included in the presentation will include new regulations such as farm vehicle exemptions, medical cards, pending regulations, interstate carrier information, a recap of fundamentals, as well as time for answering audience questions.

Presenting the seminar will be Kevin Rund who, for more than 30 years, has specialized in farm transportation issues for the Illinois Farm Bureau. In addition to his presentation, Rund will provide take-home materials addressing these topics.

The seminar is free courtesy of the county and state farm bureaus, but advance registration is requested by calling the Grundy County Farm Bureau at 815-942-6400.

Fans mourn death of Japanese star Setsuko Hara

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOKYO – Precisely in keeping with her zeal for privacy, news of actress Setsuko Hara’s death on Sept. 5 was kept quiet until recently. The star of director Yasujiro Ozu’s “Tokyo Story” and many other Japanese classics was 95.

Japanese fans laid flowers and other memorials outside Hara’s former studio after relatives disclosed news of her death last week, prompting an outpouring of affection for the reclusive actress dubbed the “eternal virgin.”

Hara’s poise and beauty endeared her to fans who viewed her as a role model for modern Japanese women in the years after the country’s defeat in World War II. She starred in many other Ozu films, such as “Early Summer” and “Late Spring.” Hara withdrew from public life after she retired at age 42, spending the next 53 years in the quiet seaside city of Kamakura, near her birthplace, Yokohama.

Her family told media that Hara had not wanted a fuss, so they kept quiet for more than

Sandy Berger, ex-security adviser, dies

By KEN DILANIAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Former national security adviser Sandy Berger, who helped craft President Bill Clinton’s foreign policy and got in trouble over destroying classified documents, died Wednesday.

He was 70.

The cause of death was cancer, said a statement by his consulting firm, the Albright Stonebridge Group.

Berger was White House national security adviser from 1997 to 2001, when the Clinton administration carried out airstrikes in Kosovo and against Saddam Hussein’s forces in Iraq. Berger, a lawyer, also was deeply involved in the administration’s push for free trade, and in the response to al-Qaida’s bombing of American embassies in East Africa.

He was deputy national security adviser during Clinton’s first term, and had previously worked in the State Department in President Jimmy Carter’s administration.

“Today, his legacy can be seen in a peaceful Balkans, our strong alliance with Japan, our deeper relationships with India and China,” President Barack Obama said in a statement.

Bill Clinton, in a joint statement with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary

AP file photo

Then-National Security Adviser Sandy Berger anwers questions in 1999 in the White House briefing room in Washington.

Clinton, called Berger a “terrific public servant” who “embraced our common humanity and advanced our national interests.”

In 2005, Berger pleaded guilty to illegally removing classified documents from the National Archives by stuffing some papers in his pants leg. He cut up some of the documents with scissors, for reasons that remain unclear.

He was sentenced to probation and a $50,000 fine. He expressed regret for his actions.

Out of government, he helped found an international consulting firm that in 2009 merged with one run by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

“He cared deeply about

where this country was going and what we could do to solve problems,” Albright said in a telephone interview. “That was the basis of his life, was to make a difference.”

Berger presided over foreign policy during what was a relatively serene period between the fall of the Soviet Union and the September 2001 terrorist attacks.

The biggest trouble spot was the Balkans, where the breakup of the former Yugoslavia spawned a series of civil wars. The U.S. and its NATO allies took militarily action against what they viewed as Serbian aggression, first in the conflict over Bosnia, and then in Kosovo. Berger led White House meetings during

NATO’s 11-week bombing of Kosovo in 1999. He also played a key role in Operation Desert Fox, the four-day bombing of Iraq in 1998 over Saddam’s failure to comply with U.N. Security Council resolutions about weapons inspections.

Stephen Hadley, who had Berger’s job in the George W. Bush administration, once asked Berger what he remembered about it. “Its relentlessness,” Berger responded.

Also in 1998, al-Qaida attacked U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The Clinton administration responded with a cruise missile barrage against training camps in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan. The strikes did little to disrupt al-Qaida and became a thread in a long-running criticism that Clinton and his team failed to properly respond to a burgeoning terrorist threat.

But Berger was not blind to the problem. Briefing Hadley and incoming Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in 2000 during the transition, Berger said they would be “spending a lot of time dealing with al-Qaida,” Hadley recalled.

“That was prophetic.”

Berger also played a key role in Operation Desert Fox, the four-day bombing of Iraq in 1998 over Saddam’s failure to comply with U.N. Security Council resolutions about weapons inspections.

Former Celtic Jim Alex Cooley, 74, longtime Loscutoff dies at age 85 concert promoter, dies

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – Jim Loscutoff, a seven-time NBA champion who played his entire nineyear career with the Boston Celtics, has died.

The team said in a statement that Loscutoff died Tuesday.

He was 85.

The team did not disclose a cause.

He is the only Celtics player to have his name, and not uniform number, retired “for his leadership and all-around

excellent play.”

Affectionately nicknamed “Loscy” or “Jungle Jim,” Loscutoff was the team’s first-round draft pick out of Oregon in 1955. The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 6.2 points and 5.6 rebounds in his career.

After he retired in 1964, Loscutoff and his wife, Lynn, founded Camp Evergreen, a children’s day camp in Andover.

The team says he is survived by his wife and three children.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA – A former business partner said concert promoter Alex Cooley, known as the “unofficial mayor of Atlanta music” who helped bring top performers to music festivals in Georgia, has died.

Peter Conlon said Cooley died Tuesday at a rental home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. He was 74.

Cooley promoted rock and roll shows in Atlanta, where he was born and raised and in

Georgia. He made a splash in the music scene in 1969 with the Atlanta International Pop Festival, and an even bigger 1970 festival.

The events featured top acts including Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, the Allman Brothers Band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and B.B. King.

Cooley and Conlon helped promote the inaugural Music Midtown in 1994.

Cooley was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1987.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MORRIS 38, SENECA 33

Late free throws trigger Morris comeback Redskins rally from the line to defeat Irish

By MARK JOHNSON Shaw Media Correspondent SENECA – For three quarters Tuesday, Morris never got to the foul line and Seneca rarely turned the ball over.

The script flipped in the fourth, to say the least.

Morris rallied from a deficit that spanned more than half the game to win, 38-33, in nonconference boys basketball largely by forcing 10 turnovers with pressing man-to-man defense in the fourth quarter.

And after being out-attempted 5-0 at the foul line through three quarters, Morris shot all 12 of the free throws in the fourth, making eight.

“Part of me feels like I made about a 29-minute mistake, playing zone,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “I don’t think we’re quick enough or deep enough to defend full court, but I thought Tommy Balentine did a great job of their point guard, taking him out of their sets late.”

The entire quarter did not belong to Morris – Seneca still was leading, 33-27, when Kole Gallick banked in a basket with 3:14 to play – but the Redskins closed on an 11-0 run as the Irish often struggled to advance the ball beyond halfcourt. A steal and basket by Balentine at the 1:45 mark gave Morris its first lead since midway through the second quarter.

Coach Russell Witte said it was the second straight game in which the Irish (2-3) struggled to close in a tight game against an opponent with a larger enrollment. Seneca fell to Mendota, 44-41, in the thirdplace game Saturday in its own Turkey Tournament.

“We just gotta stop throwing the ball away,” Witte said.

“Nothing else. There’s no fix.

We just gotta stop throwing the ball to the other team. When we stop doing that, we’ll be all right. … We panicked a little bit, we tried to make some 40-

Joe Blumberg Morris boys basketball coach foot passes. We have to have kids that want to have the ball in their hands, and that comes with practice and comes with varsity repetitions.”

The teams had scored a combined 18 points – and the Irish none in the second quarter – before Owen Barnett banked in a 3 with 4:32 left before halftime.

It began a 10-2 Irish run that had them threatening to pull away late in the half; a much-needed Matt Shaw 3 in the closing seconds kept Morris within 18-15 at the break.

The third quarter was much the same, with the Redskins

held scoreless until Shaw made a long basket more than five minutes in.

Morris is 4-1 in spite of offensive hiccups that surfaced throughout last week’s Coal City Thanksgiving Tournament.

Shaw, who is one of the members of the team’s all-new starting backcourt, scored 16 points Tuesday, but was the only Morris player in double figures.

“We’ve tried to prepare for [replacing 2015 graduates], but we’ve gotten no continuity from our summer to our winter because guys that were there in the summer didn’t come out,” Blumberg said. “So we’re behind offensively, we’re behind defensively, and maybe that’s part of the problem … so we need to really go to work, and analyze some film and make some corrections.”

Seneca’s leading scorer was Sean Baker with 11 points.

BEARS NOTES

White ‘definitely’ pushing to play

Rolle, Royal remained sidelined with knee injuries Wednesday

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Top pick Kevin White participated in individual drills and ran routes at full speed for the first time Wednesday since undergoing surgery for a stress fracture in his left shin this offseason.

“He’s improving,” Bears head coach John Fox said.

“He’s on target. We’ve got a three-week window, that you know, we just take one day at a time.”

The Bears opened the 21day practice window for White last Tuesday. They have until Dec. 15 to decide whether to activate the rookie wide receiver or place him on season-ending injured reserve.

When pressed on whether “on target” meant to play this season, Fox responded, “No, on target to practice again tomorrow.”

White admitted his leg was tight at times Wednesday, but it “was a good feeling” to be working with his teammates.

White stated adamantly he’s hopeful to play this season.

“Yeah I’m pushing to play.

If I wasn’t pushing to play, I wouldn’t be out there,” he said. “... Really important [to play this season]. If it wasn’t important, I’d be in the treatment room. I would’ve told Pace or Fox to IR me. I want to play. I want to help the team out.”

White acknowledged Wednesday’s practice drills were as agile as he’s felt since June. Now the key is improving his strength and getting comfortable running routes.

“I’m very aware [of the timeline to return],” he said.

“I know exactly when so I’m pushing myself a little bit.

Still being smart with it. I’m

aware,” he said.

Injury report: Antrel Rolle (knee) and Eddie Royal (knee) were the Bears’ only nonparticipants Wednesday.

Rolle has missed the past two games and Royal hasn’t played since Week Eight.

Kyle Long (neck) and Pernell McPhee (knee) were limited. Ka’Deem Carey cleared the concussion protocol and, along with Matt Slauson (toe), practiced in full.

Fangio faces former club: As Vic Fangio prepares to face the team whose defense he coordinated over the past four seasons and that interviewed him for its head-coaching vacancy in January, he said he doesn’t feel any extra motivation because the 49ers bypassed its coordinator to hire D-line coach Jim Tomsula.

“I just look back on the four years with the 49ers with really good memories,” said Fangio. “We had a nice run there. Got to a Super Bowl.

Got to three championship games. Won a lot of football games over a four-year period. I just look back there with a lot of fond memories.”

Bennett speaks: Martellus Bennett was inactive for the first time since 2011 Thursday and spoke with the media Wednesday for the first time since after Week 10.

Bennett said he was dealing with a “significant injury,” though he likely could’ve played if the game was on Sunday instead of Thanksgiving.

Bennett didn’t make the trip or even watch the game live, he said, but his wife was screaming and texting him from the other room.

“Just chilling. Rehabbing.

A lot of people in town working on my body and stuff like that,” he said. “All last week and leading into this week, so just getting healthy.”

Mitch Unrein carving out a niche for Chicago Bears’ goal-line offense

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears have a 6-4, 306-pound weapon for their goal-line package, and all he does is block for touchdowns.

“It’s fun,” defensive tackle and goal-line fullback Mitch Unrein said. “I never really grew up playing the offensive side of the ball. I played a little bit of tight end early on in high school. But other than that, I’ve always been a defensive guy.

“To get out there and get the opportunity to run some offensive plays is pretty fun.

To see it from a different perspective and also get to have the camaraderie with the offensive linemen as well.”

Unrein has played in six snaps on offense this season.

The Bears have scored a touchdown on all six of those snaps – four Jeremy Langford rushing touchdowns, Zach Miller’s touchdown catch in St. Louis, and Martellus Bennett’s grab in San Diego.

But don’t worry, superstitious Bears fans. Unrein already knew the statistic, and while this season is off to a good start, he pointed out that he does not have an unblemished record as a fullback.

“I’ve been doing it for a

“I never really grew up playing the offensive side of the ball. ...

I’ve always been a defensive guy.”

Mitch Unrein Bears defensive tackle, fullback couple years and there were a lot of times in Denver that we never got in as well,” he said.

The Broncos actually only scored four touchdowns in Unrein’s nine offensive snaps in Denver in 2012, so stop rubbing that rabbit’s foot. One of those touchdowns was a career highlight for Unrein.

“I was fortunate enough to catch a pass in 2012 from Peyton Manning so that’s kind of my claim to fame on the goal-line aspect of being a fullback,” he said.

Former Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy first put Unrein on offense, and Adam Gase has carried the formation over to Chicago. Whenever his defensive line teammates hear “No. 98 is eligible,” they get pretty fired up.

“We’re on the sideline and they’ll say, ‘Mitch Unrein, get in there’ so we cheer him on,” Jarvis Jenkins said. “Every

time, he doesn’t let us down.

Pancake block, every time.”

Jenkins admitted that he would love a chance on offense, and he gets “pretty jealous” of Unrein’s opportunities, but he’s proud of his partner in the trenches.

“I think every time he’s had those plays, he’s had a pancake block or a significant block. … I’ve kind of been lobbying, but Mitch has it on lockdown,” Jenkins said. “He’s pretty good at it.”

Langford was in awe the first time he ran behind Unrein on the practice field – “You could tell if you run behind him, you can’t go wrong” – so, it makes sense that the rookie enjoys seeing Unrein running on the field.

“It’s a good thing to see No. 98 in front of you,” Langford said. “He’s going to clear a hole.”

Not to make Jenkins and the other defensive linemen more jealous, but Unrein has more chances to take part in something defenders only dream of – end-zone celebrations.

“It’s just a great atmosphere,” he said. “When you score, everyone’s just going crazy. Fans are going crazy.

It’s a really good feeling to be out there and actually contributing to putting points on the board.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

With 4-5, do you bid four or five?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Steve Spurrier, a Heisman Trophy winner and football guru, said, “I don’t want to coach too far into my 60s.

By then, I’ll be playing golf four or five times a week.”

At the bridge table, you might have the choice of bidding a four-card or a five-card suit. Look at today’s North hand. After partner opens one club, would you respond one diamond or one spade?

In the old days, responder always bid the longest suit first. If partner had a four-card major, he would show it and a 4-4 fit would not be missed.

These days, showing the major first is in vogue. A columnist recommended bidding one spade, not one diamond, with that North hand. As you can guess, I disagree. I think bidding the major first is right if two criteria are satisfied: The responder has below game-invitational values and a good-quality major. This hand, with 10 points, two aces and a five-card suit, is worth a game-invitation. And that is not such a great spade suit. In this admittedly constructed deal, if North responds one spade, South will raise to two spades (which might be with only three-card support and a singleton somewhere), and what would North do then? Probably three diamonds, but it isn’t clear-cut with only four spades.

If North bids one diamond, South will rebid one spade, and four spades will be reached. Note that four spades

by North fails after East leads the heart queen. The defenders take one spade, two hearts and one club. But four spades by South is makable. West’s best lead is the club queen. Declarer wins with dummy’s ace, takes the two top trumps, then plays on diamonds, discarding a heart on the fourth round.

Low-dose calcium supplement reduces risk from higher dose Dear Dr. K: I’m a 65-year-old woman. My doctor says my bones are strong, and he wants to keep them that way. So, for years I’ve been taking a daily 1,200 milligram calcium supplement. Now I hear that might be too much. How much calcium do I really need?

Dear Reader: I’ve gotten this question from so many patients. As I assume is true for you, their bones have normal amounts of calcium. That is, they do not have osteoporosis (or “thin bones”). To prevent osteoporosis, they have been taking the recommended amount of calcium -- 1,000 milligrams (mg) a day for women ages 50 and younger and 1,200 mg for women over 50 -- in an effort to preserve their bones.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff It is true that the majority of studies show that a combination of calcium and vitamin D supplements reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. So far, so good.

But the main reason to prevent osteoporosis is to reduce the risk of bone fractures. And most studies find that calcium supplements (or even calcium plus vitamin D) do not reduce that risk. Worse, calcium supplements may even increase other health risks.

One study involved postmenopausal women enrolled

in the Women’s Health Initiative trial. Some 18,000 women were randomly assigned to take 1,000 mg of calcium and 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D each day. (Vitamin D works with calcium to build healthy bones.) Another 18,000 women got placebo pills. After seven years, women who took calcium and vitamin D were no less likely to break their hips than the women who took a placebo pill.

Another study analyzed the results of more than a dozen studies. It found that women (and men) who had a high calcium intake -- from food or pills -- did not have a lower hip fracture risk.

The studies also revealed that high-dose calcium supple-

ments can lead to an increased risk of kidney stones and heart attack. Calcium from food did not have the same risks.

What to do? My colleague Dr. Walter Willett, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, recommends less calcium and more vitamin D than the guidelines suggest.

He suggests 500 to 700 mg a day of calcium and 800 to 1,000 IU of vitamin D. Current guidelines recommend 600 IU of vitamin D between ages 19 and 70 years, and 800 IU after age 70.

While not everyone agrees with him, I regard Dr. Willett as one of the world’s most knowledgeable experts in this area. I’ve seen him proven right a lot more often than

wrong.

At Dr. Willett’s suggested amount, you can probably get all or most of your calcium from food. Dairy products are a great source. Kale, collard greens and salmon are good non-dairy calcium sources.

(I’ve put a table listing more calcium-containing foods on my website, askdoctork.com.)

You can take a low-dose calcium supplement to make up what you don’t get from food.

Keeping your calcium supplement dose lower should help you avoid the possible risks of higher-dose supplements.
