Daylight saving – nighttime snoozing

S

pring forward; fall back. Twice each year we reset the clocks. In the fall, I relish the extra hour of sleep I think I get because 6:00 a.m. is really 7:00 a.m.

– or it feels that way for a couple days at least.

But you know what they say. There’s no such thing as a free lunch or free extra hour of sleep. Come spring, it’s time to pay the piper and relinquish an hour. Suddenly 7:00 a.m. feels like 6:00 a.m.

– for at least a couple days.

Why do we do this to ourselves? (Good folks in Arizona and Hawaii, please ignore the question, since you are smart enough to set your clocks and leave them be.)

Daylight saving time. Just what are we saving and when do we save it –­­ when we fall back or spring ahead?

I’ve always been told the practice has to do with farmers. Make hay while the sun shines, and all that jazz. I was misinformed. According to Wiki: “Historically, retailing, sports and tourism interests have favored daylight saving, while agricultural and evening entertainment interests have opposed it.” If farmers didn’t invent daylight saving time, who did?

Some credit the creation of the phenomenon to Benjamin Franklin, who suggested getting up at sunrise and going to bed at sunset would help save candles. “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”

Although Mr. Franklin was a practical man and in favor of saving candles, he is not the father of daylight saving time.

That honor goes to a guy in New Zealand named George Hudson. He proposed modern daylight saving time in the 1800s because he was interested in having more daylight after work to pursue his hobby of collecting bugs.

Creepy, but true. An Englishman, William Willett, came up with the same idea a few years later because the setting sun was cutting into his evening round of golf. Bogey to that.

Golf and insect-collecting may have been fine and good reasons to spring ahead, but the idea didn’t catch on here until there was an even bigger rationale for widespread implementation: war. During

Jill Pertler SLICES OF LIFE

World War I, The U.S., Russia and many European countries implemented daylight saving time as a way to conserve coal. (Similar to Ben Franklin’s idea, but without the candles.)

The war ended and so did daylight saving time in most places. There was no federal law regulating the practice, which caused confusion between times zones and especially with the transportation industry. Apparently people kept missing their trains. So, in 1967 a federal law resurrected widespread daylight saving time. Individual states could follow certain rules to opt out, but most were all in – where they remain today.

In addition to keeping people from missing their plane or train, daylight saving time saves energy because people naturally sleep later the morning and stay up to all hours of the night (burning more proverbial candles as they do). If the sun is shining later in the day, less energy is needed to light the streets and heat our homes. A 2008 report that undoubtedly required the time and energy of a number of U.S. Department of Energy employees reported a nationwide electricity savings of about 0.03 percent during daylight saving time. Electrifying results for sure.

There you have it: palpable evidence that daylight saving time benefits us. I only wonder why we switch back and forth. If setting our clocks ahead is a good thing, maybe we should just stick with it and save on energy ourselves.

You know, the energy it takes to reset the clocks twice a year. I’ll light a candle to that.

PSA: Health Department issues warning about Zika virus WHEATON — Families or college students planning spring break vacations should be aware of the risk of Zika virus disease and take precautions to prevent mosquito bites. No vaccine exists to prevent Zika virus disease.

The list of countries with Zika cases continues to grow, as well as some U.S. terri-

tories. Some Zika cases have been reported in the United States, and so far all of those are travel-associated. Check with the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention for the latest information on prevention and lists of areas with Zika cases at cdc.gov/zika When traveling to countries where Zika virus or other

viruses spread by mosquitoes are found, take the following steps: • Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.

• Stay in places with air conditioning or that use window and door screens to keep mosquitoes outside.

• Sleep under a mosquito bed net if you are overseas or out-

side and are not able to protect yourself from mosquito bites.

• Use EPA insect repellents.

When used as directed, EPAregistered insect repellents are proven safe and effective, even for pregnant and breast-feeding women.

• If you are also using sunscreen, apply sunscreen before applying insect repellent.

• Sexual transmission of Zika virus from a man to his sex partners is possible. If you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex with a male partner while traveling, you should use condoms.

More information on how to build your own Zika Prevention Kit is available at cdc.gov/ zika/prevention.

Willowbrook boys gymnastics team looking for more success Warriors coming off fourth-place state finish

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Last year, the Willowbrook boys gymnastics team turned in a memorable performance, finishing fourth in the state.

The Warriors won the West Suburban Conference Gold Division championship behind all-arounders Adam Sousa, Keawe Winstead and Brett Golz, who combined to score nearly 150 points between them in the all-around competition. The Warriors went on to win the sectional (Sousa won the all-around) and finish fourth at state (148.55 team score) where Sousa was fourth in the all-around (51.70).

Winstead, now an assistant coach with the team, and Golz graduated, but highly talented sophomore Sousa returns for first-year Warriors head coach Caleb Strejc, an assistant on the staff last year and a former standout gymnast at York High School.

Sousa, in addition to the 51.70 he scored in the all-around at state, placed

fifth on horse, sixth on floor, sixth on parallel bars and eighth on high bar in the event finals.

“Adam is hoping to make a run at battling for the all-around title this year at state and going for high finishes on floor, vault, p-bars and high bar,” said Strejc. “A second guy to keep an eye on is Bailey Heppner. It would be huge if we could count his scores for each event or at least four of the six and to be an effective all-arounder behind Adam.”

Also back for the Warriors are seniors Ian Patete (floor, vault, high bar), Ricky Saldana (floor, rings, parallel bars, high bar) and Joey Eagan (horse), along with juniors Bailey Heppner (all-around), Zach Zeffiro (floor, vault) and Dylan Leska (vault, high bar).

“They will all contribute to our team score this year,” said Strejc.

Newcomers to the team include junior Miguel Portilla (parallel bars, high bar) and sophomore Matthew Smith (rings, parallel bars, high bar).

“Our team’s strongest event probably is the vault because it looks like it is where we have our most depth with three flipping vaults, and one good twisting vault that could score from the upper 8s to the mid-9s,” the coach

noted. “Our overall strengths besides vault include the floor as well. Those will be our two highest-scoring events as a team. Following that, I think one of our strengths will be being able to have our second and third guys consistently score on rings and parallel bars close to the 7s.”

Strejc has been impressed with Smith’s potential. “He is an extremely hard worker and a quick learner who we hope to become one of our strong all-arounders this year and in the future,” he said.

Strejc said the team is working hard at improving on horse and high bar.

“Those naturally are two of the harder events to get guys scoring higher on,” he pointed out. “We will need to focus a lot on that and have some guys who are specialists on those events.”

Strejc likes the fact the Warriors return plenty of experience from last year’s state team.

“I think another one of our strengths is we did make it to state last year and there is a lot of experience on our team with guys who were part of that and bring the intensity and drive to the rest of the team to want to make it as far as possible again this year,” he said.

Fenton softball team filled with talented players

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The Fenton softball team is not lacking players who logged significant at-bats last season.

The Bison return four players who batted .300 or greater from a 2015 team that won 16 games.

Top returning players include seniors Diana Pikul (3B, .529, 6 doubles, 4 triples, 15 RBI), Ellie Gonzales (SS, .386, 3 doubles, 4 triples, 1 homer, 17 RBI, 24 runs scored), Courntey Susmarski (1B, .306, 5 doubles, 21 RBI, 24 runs scored), Jocelyn Souvannasy (P-2B, .306, 7 hitby-pitch), Jill Mrugacz (OF, 29 runs scored, 16 stolen bases), Alex Stoklosa (C) and Clarissa Guevara (utility), along with juniors Jenna Geraci (P, 5 wins, 52 strikeouts) and Ellie Was-

Addison Trail baseball team excited about 2016 season Top-of-rotation pitching, up-themiddle defense key strengths for Blazers

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

Pitching and defense are two jewels every baseball team covets.

The Addison Trail baseball team feels it has components of both heading into the 2016 season. The Blazers are coming off a 2015 season where they went 13-18 overall and 9-9 in the competitive West Suburban Conference Gold Division.

The Blazers return the likes of seniors Robert Baughman (C), Cosme Garcia (3B), Angelo Feola (SS) and Nick Fugarino (CF-P) as well as junior pitcher Nick Villasenor.

“We’re coming back with Nick Villasenor on the mound and he had a great

year as a sophomore,” said Addison Trail coach Mike Kennedy. “We have some good experience at the top end of our rotation with him and Nick Fugarino. We will need guys to step up in the middle and back end of our rotation.”

Villasenor had a sub-1.50 ERA last year with more than 60 strikeouts.

“Nick had a nice, low ERA and put up good, solid numbers,” said Kennedy.

“We’re looking forward to seeing him pitch. He looks pretty strong right now.”

Kennedy also likes the fact the middle of his defense is loaded with experience. “Angelo at shortstop brings us stability as a returning starter and Robert is behind the plate and you have Fugie (Nick Fugarino) in center and that gives us nice up-the-middle defense,” he said.

Newcomers to the team include juniors Jack Kalbas (IF-P), Ricky Perez (OF-P), Dom Zumtano (OF-C), and sophomores Trevor Fulmer (1B-P) and Simon Marinelli (C-IF).

Kennedy said Fulmer is showing potential on the mound. “Trevor will be a nice pitcher, but he has to get acclimated to the varsity game,” he said.

“He’s going to be a special baseball player, but the speed of the game at the varsity level is a little different and that takes time to get used to.”

Offensively, Kennedy has seen a different group of hitters during practices.

“I think our bats are going to surprise some people this year,” said Kennedy.

“A lot of our guys are swinging a good bat. They did a lot of work in the weight room in the off-season and they are seeing the dividends pay off there when they swing the bat.”

Kennedy added the potential is there to improve on last year’s mark. “Every coach goes into the season believing in their team,” he said. “I think we have the potential here to be much better than last year. It’s going to come down to how effective our pitching is and how we hit the ball and field the ball. Those

always are keys to success. If we go out and do those things we are going to be successful. If we don’t throw strikes and we don’t put the ball in play, we will struggle.”

As usual, Addison Trail finds itself in a talent-rich WSC Gold Division.

“You always have to look at the usual suspects,” Kennedy said. “Downers Grove South has a lot of experience and will be good. Willowbrook will be right there with Downers South and Hinsdale South returns a lot of guys and I expect them to be very good. Leyden has kids coming back and Morton is tough year in and year out. Proviso East is making strides lately, so the conference across the line is much better. We want to be up there with the top teams, but we know we have work to do to get there.

Nobody is going to hand it to us. We have to go out and earn every bit of it.”

Addison Trail is scheduled to open the season Friday on the road against Glenbard East in non-conference action.

Key newcomers include junior Taylor Spizzirri (P) and freshmen Isa Lozada (utility) and Payton Pugliese (P, 2B, OF).

“We only graduated one senior from last year’s team, so we return a lot,” said Fenton coach Dave Mello.

That one senior was Dana Fritz, who logged 105 innings on the mound. The pitching workload will be handled by Geraci, who threw 87 innings last year, Souvannasy (12 innings last year), Spizzirri and Pugliese.

“I feel we are in a very good spot with our pitching,” said Mello. “Jenna will be our No. 1 and she has two years of varsity experience. Jocelyn is in her fourth year on varsity and threw a lot of innings as a freshman. She threw some the last two years, but will throw more this season. We also add Taylor, who pitched for our JV last year and Payton. All four girls will see a lot of action.”

Mello is excited about the makeup of the team on offense.

Defense, Mello noted, will be a key this season. “We have been discussing how defense has been a weakness for us in the past,” he said. “We made 114 errors last season and are working every day to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

We are putting a huge emphasis on our throwing and catching of the ball.”

Fenton has games scheduled this week against Fremd, North Grand and Streamwood. The team heads to Tennessee for games on March 24.

“We hope to be able to take advantage of the great weather and play our early-season games before we head to Tennessee,” said Mello. “We will face our usual difficult schedule with many tough non-conference matchups and then our side of the Metro Suburban is absolutely loaded. All of that included with the teams we play in Tennessee will only help us prepare for our first appearance in the Class 4A state playoffs.

New heart stent system is Edward Hospital’s present to Santa NAPERVILLE – For 68-year-old Floyd King, a professional Santa living in Alpena, MI, the last few years were tough. Not only did his coronary arteries keep getting blocked, causing chest pain and weakness, he also suffered from a painful neck condition.

His Michigan orthopedic surgeon, Louis Habryl, MD, recommended spinal fusion

surgery to address the neck problem. He told King his best chance of safely undergoing the surgery was to first get effective treatment for his cardiovascular problem, chronic total occlusion (CTO), when a coronary artery has been blocked for a long period of time and is difficult to open and keep open.

King already had undergone www.edwardjones.com

eight cardiac catheterizations, resulting in placement of several stents – devices designed to prop open the arteries where they’d been blocked. But on several occasions, doctors had difficulty getting through King’s highly calcified arteries.

Dr. Habryl recommended King look into treatment at Edward Heart Hospital in Naperville, where his daughter, Mary Lou Habryl, RN, is the clinical leader of the cardiac catheterization lab. Edward has the latest equipment, and a team highly experienced in treating CTO, which sometimes requires an atherectomy.

In this procedure, the cardiologist uses a catheter that’s fitted with a rotating blade, laser or other device. The catheter is threaded through the body to the blockage site, where the plaque is shaved or vaporized – helpful when severe calcification makes treatment solely with balloons and/or stents difficult.

“Angioplasty for patients with CTO typically has a 5 to 10 percent rate of success in opening the artery,” says Mark Goodwin, MD, medical director of Edward Heart Hospital’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab and interventional cardiologist with Midwest Heart-Advocate Medical Group. “With our range of CTO strategies, the Edward team has been able to achieve a 90 percent success rate.”

with Dr. Goodwin, King says, “I had been having chest pains for two years. (Eventually) I couldn’t even shovel the smallest amount of snow, or walk 50 feet without stopping. “ Dr. Goodwin and interventional cardiologist Tony DeMartini, MD, also with Midwest HeartAdvocate Medical Group, worked to clear two of King’s blocked arteries using laser atherectomy and angioplasty at Edward in November 2015.

They also used the newly FDA-approved SYNERGY Bioabsorbable Polymer DrugEluting Stent System – the first stent in which both the drug coating and the polymer, which controls the drug’s release, are fully absorbed by the body within months.

Edward is the first Illinois hospital to use SYNERGY in coronary interventions.

“The only stents that had been available were either bare metal, which sometimes irritates the blood vessel, or metal stents coated with a drug to help prevent recurring blockages,” says Dr. Goodwin. “(However,) some patients who receive the drugeluting stents are slow to heal and require long-term blood thinners.”

The SYNERGY stent lessens the risk of these complications according to its manufacturer, Boston Scientific, by “(avoiding) the permanent polymer exposure, which has been associated with complications such as vessel re-narrowing and blood clots.”

“Patients with CTO typically are on two blood thinners for six to nine months after their procedure,” says Dr. Goodwin. “With this stent, it’s often safer to stop these drugs sooner.”

And, cutting back on blood thinners helps make subsequent surgeries safer, such as King’s planned spinal fusion.

King is now back to hunting, shoveling snow and basically doing what he wants to do, including gearing up for Santa’s busiest season, come December.

Four tips to live better in retirement

Living Ideas

Reducing housing expenses can have an extra upside.

For example, downsizing your empty nest offers you the benefit of less house to maintain. Moving to a region of the country cheaper than your current area may take you somewhere sunnier, warmer and better suited for aging.

Another popular way to live more frugally is to consider taking on a roommate. “Coliving arrangements like the ‘The Golden Girls’ are becoming more popular with

single or widowed seniors.

It helps save money and can

and gym memberships, and sites like Restaurant.com or

and can be cost-effective if everyone is sharing in the responsibility.”

With smart strategies you can free yourself from worry about aging, while getting wiser over time.

(StatePoint) — The conceptions and realities of retirement have changed a great deal over the past several decades, giving many seniors misgivings about the future. But your golden years can be happy, healthy and productive, say experts.

“For many individuals, confusion, fear and an overwhelming sense of powerlessness accompany the prospect of growing old in America. The good news is that we have power to address these concerns,” says Scott Page, author of the new book “It’s Never Too Late: Getting Older, Wiser, and Worry-Free in our Golden Years.”

be beneficial for socialization and support,” says Page.

Make Money

You can rake in extra income that doesn’t feel like work. Review your talents and hobbies. Are you an excellent baker, a talented woodworker or musician?

“Seniors often have a lot of time on their hands, and they may be able to transform hobbies or interests into a way to make a little money,” says Page, who points out that such activities can also be an excellent way to stay engaged and active, keeping minds and bodies vibrant.

Saving Tips

Don’t be shy about using the age card. After all, you have worked hard for it.

Senior discounts are available at restaurants, stores, on travel, adult education classes

Groupon have special bargain days for seniors.

You can also save by eliminating unnecessary expenses. For example -- do you still need that landline telephone? Can you bundle certain services to help reduce costs?

Do an inventory of your possessions to determine which objects to keep and which to discard or sell.

Free worksheets, available at scottpage.com/free-tools, can help you make smart decisions.

Connect with Friends

Consider planning meals with a support network.

Knights return three all-conference players

By Mike Miazga Correspondent

The IC Catholic Prep boys lacrosse team made key strides last season.

The Knights, now in their sixth year under coach Tom O’Brien, recorded its first-ever winning season at 8-7. IC Catholic Prep, which competes in the Suburban Christian Conference with the likes of St. Francis, Marmion, Montini, Wheaton Academy and West Chicago, lost its first-round playoff game to Huntley.

While the Knights did lose all-state player and team leading scorer Evan Czyzycki, they do return assists leader Max Czyzycki (junior), sophomore Charlie O’Brien and a solid defense that revolves around senior Pat Guinan, junior Jim Kenneally and junior Galvin Gecsey. Max Czyzycki was the team’s second-leading scorer a year ago.

Rounding out the offense is seniors Brendan O’Brien and Garrett Cheng, along with juniors Troy Simonides and Sam Buffo.

Senior and second-year starter Kyle Barczynski returns in goal.

Max Czyzycki (midfield) and Charlie O’Brien (attack) are returning first-team all-conference picks, while Guinan (defense) earned a second-team all-conference selection. Guinan led the team in groundballs

LANSING — If a photo is worth a thousand words, a newly installed Pure Michigan photo experience at the International Arrivals Hall of McNamara Terminal and in the North Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) will speak volumes to the nearly 1.5 million international travelers that pass through the airport’s federal inspection services facilities each year.

The campaign is one of the first of its kind in the United States and is the result of a collaboration between Travel Michigan, the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the Airlines and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It has been launched to coincide with the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, kicking off January 11. International visitors, including media from approximately 60 countries, attending at this year’s show will be some of the first travelers to be greeted by the Michigan imagery.

“Detroit truly serves as the gateway to Michigan for the vast majority of our international visitors,” said Dave Lorenz, Vice President of Travel Michigan, part of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

“From the moment people step off that plane, we want them to feel welcome in Michigan, to be excited about arriving in America’s Great Comeback City and to be inspired by the leisure travel opportunities our state has to offer. We appreciate the hard work of everyone involved to bring this experience to life.”

The airport branding builds on Michigan’s increased efforts in recent years to attract international leisure travelers to the state. Artwork, as large as 12 feet high and 61 feet long, featuring images of Detroit cultural landmarks and the state’s natural beauty can be found at the European and Asian arrival gates and the baggage claim area in customs.

he Wisconsin Dells area features the highest concentration of indoor water parks in the world, as well as the largest – the African-themed Kalahari Resort & Convention Center. Water-lovers have no shortage of options in this massive 125,000 square foot facility, including an uphill water roller coaster, a colorful maze of waterslides, tube rides, the longest lazy river in the country, and the “FlowRider,” in which a continuous surge of 50,000 gallons of water per minute creates ocean-like waves for a nearly authentic surfing experience. Plus, you can rent an indoor water park cabana and enjoy a flat screen TV, security safe, refrigerator, chaise lounges and table.

Great Wolf Lodge, also in the Dells, features another wild attraction known as the Howlin’ Tornado, an extreme water-

tubing ride with a 53-foot vertical drop. Not to be outdone, the 80,000 sq. ft. Lost Rios indoor water park at nearby Chula Vista Resort is home to the country’s fastest indoor water coaster, the “Flyan Myan.” Just down the Parkway, the Wilderness Hotel and Golf Resort is America’s largest water park resort with four indoor and four outdoor water parks. Inside, that’s nearly 250,000 sq. ft. of water park fun including bumper boats, the Dell’s only 5-person tube ride, a 180-foot body slide, and a wave pool that creates five-footers.

Indoor Water Parks for Every Type of Getaway The Dells isn’t Wisconsin’s only indoor water park destination. The Tundra Lodge Resort & Waterpark in Green Bay features two 250-foot water slides, an interactive water playground

and Green Bay’s only lazy river and whirlpool… all within the shadow of legendary Lambeau Field.

The Grand Lodge by Stoney Creek in Wausau draws its inspiration from Wisconsin’s Northwoods and the city’s historic leadership in the timber industry. The lodge’s 50,000-squarefoot indoor water park is one of northern Wisconsin’s largest. A bit further north, The Waters of Minocqua also offers a rustic, timbered, Northwoods-look with a pair of body tubes and a plunge pool.

Located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Sheboygan, Breaker Bay - inside the Blue Harbor Resort & Spa is a four-story, 43,000 sq. ft. indoor water park with a nautical theme that captures the adventure of the Great Lakes. Its exhilarating waterslides, spray decks with interactive water toys,an adventure

river and oversized whirlpools make it a perfect winter destination for the entire family.

In Waukesha, the Country Springs Hotel and Water Park is a great choice: think two-anda-half football fields of indoor water fun - including their signature Body Flume waterslide - will keep the kids active and happy.

Another exciting indoor water park destination is Moose Mountain Falls on the grounds of the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa at Timber Ridge Lodge in Lake Geneva. Complete with 30,000 square feet of indoor fun, the water park has two waterslides, a lazy river, splash pools filled with interactive water features, and a large whirlpool.

Located in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Marquette County is a place that encompasses one of America’s great small cities and a collection of historic towns and villages.

It is a place where the best nature has to offer is never more than a moment away.

Where proud waters, rugged landscape and hardwood forests stretch as far as the eye can see, and the blue waters of Lake Superior meet the shimmering colors of the Northern Lights.

In Marquette County, it’s easy to listen when Mother Nature tells us to go outside and play.

Miles of top-rated hiking and biking trails meander along the base of the Huron Mountains.

Recreational enthusiasts can be fishing, exploring, kayaking, or mountain biking just minutes from town.
