An educational decade in reviewMORRIS – When I was a
little girl, my mom taught meto leave a place better than Ifound it. I can honestly sayMorris Elementary SchoolDistrict is in better shapetoday than the condition itwas when I became involved adecade ago.
District 54 was on Illinois’financial watch list of schoolsteetering on the brink ofcollapse. Another year with aslide in the wrong directionand the state may have takencontrol. Morris Elementarymay have been shut down,teachers let go and studentsbused to Minooka, Channahonor Joliet.
There wasn’t a morestressful time in the history ofMorris to become involved inpublic education. Board meet-ings were stressful. Blamewas thrown in all directions.Tensions and tempers gothigh and heated.
I was asked in 2004 to sit ona citizen’s committee to helpdevelop recommendations forthe board to consider with the
impending closing of MidwestGeneration’s Collins Station.In 2005 I was encouraged torun for the board. By 2007 Iwas board president and wewere on our third superinten-dent in as many years.
In 2007, our new teambegan to work out of the hugehole our district was in. Wereturned the school day backto its normal dismissal time.We found having full-daykindergarten provided morefunding than only a half-day.Kindergarten was back.
It was not difficult forour team to find a balancebetween budget, forecastand plan. We swiftly addedthe fine arts programs backinto the curriculum. Usingsound budgeting and forecast-ing, coupled with utilizingcost-containment strategies
and negotiating some revenueincreases, District 54 was offthe financial blacklist andheading in the right financialdirection.
Restructuring the bondportfolio was an instrumentalmove. A massive bond dealstruck by a prior adminis-tration was not in the bestinterest of the school, employ-ees or taxpayers. We restruc-tured and refunded a portionof these bonds with a morefair and common result to allparties.
The decentralization of ourSpecial Education Serviceswas another innovative issue.The creation of the SharedServices Committee and theresulting agreements withboth Morris High and Sarato-ga resulted in large savings.
Using the talents, knowl-edge and skills of our em-ployees has saved tens ofthousands of dollars. Ourshared busing agreement mayhave had a rocky first day, buthas saved taxpayers well intoseven figures.
I didn’t know if therewould ever be a time whenDistrict 54 wasn’t embroiledin a lawsuit over the construc-tion and assessment of WhiteOak, which went on for 15years. Finally, all litigationhas been settled and ended.
Today, we are in the firstyear of a two-year rollout of a1:1 technology initiative thatwill put laptops in the handsof every student in thirdthrough eighth grade, amongother technology upgrades.
Through the utilizationof survey data, we know ourteachers are proud to workfor the district and optimisticabout our future together. Ourparents believe 54 promotesacademic success and hasadults who care about kids.Our students are happy andrespect their teachers.
Some people will neverget over how I got my job.To those of you, I’m sorryabout how that was handled.It is one of those lessons I’ve

MORRIS – Damp grass anda little bit of mud from the pre-vious night’s rainstorm didn’tstop shoppers Saturday at the3 French Hens French Coun-try Market along the I&M Ca-nal in Morris.
At least 140 vendors fromacross the Midwest – a marketrecord, said co-organizer Mon-ica Spence-Vogel – set up at Ca-nal Port Park early Saturday.
Shoppers went from tent totent searching for items suchas vintage jewelry, metal art,baked goods, gourmet cheesesand fresh flowers.
“I think people decided tostick around once they noticedthe weather was going to staynice,” Spence-Vogel said. “Wehave a nice group from allover. I spoke to people from St.Louis, Iowa, Indiana and Wis-consin.”
The market has been fea-tured in “Romantic Homes”magazine and “Midwest Liv-ing,” among others, and con-tinues to grow in popularity.
The park space was navi-gable Saturday, but any morevendors and they might haveto set up on a barge on the ca-nal.
It’s a sign of how much the
market series, now in its sev-enth year, has grown.
That’s not to say it isn’t a
local event with local vendors.Spence-Vogel said a commontheme of the market is friends
and family bumping into eachother.

GAVC holds first awards ceremonyBy JEANNE MILLAP
Shaw Media correspondent

In previous years, the cen-ter handed out its awards andscholarships at the awardsnights of each of the four highschools GAVC students attend– Morris Community HighSchool, Minooka CommunityHigh School, Coal City HighSchool and Gardner-SouthWilmington High School.
This year, all students be-ing honored were together inthe auditorium of Morris HighSchool.
“We were very excitedabout the ceremony,” GAVCDirector Lance Copes said,“and we had a tremendous
turnout of students and theirfamilies. We really didn’tknow what to expect, it beingour first year.”
Copes said the center heldits ceremony so all students be-ing honored were in one placeat one time. It made the rec-ognition a little more special,he said, and allowed teachers,staff and administrators to allbe present.
Some of the high schoolsalso will continue to recognizethe GAVC students in theirown ceremonies, Copes added.The director said he was proudof the students honored fortheir achievements Thursdayand also of all of the center’sstudents.
“When we look at our futureworkforce,” he said, “thesestudents are going to industryleaders. They have very brightfutures ahead of them.”
In all, 170 awards and rec-ognitions were given at theevent, plus scholarships to-taling more than $10,000. The
awards included Directors’Awards, Keytrain Awards,Program Awards, School toApprenticeship Awards, Com-petition Awards and PerfectAttendance Awards.
The Dave Potts Memori-al Scholarship went to Gard-ner-South Wilmington seniorLauren Daniels, who excelledin the center’s Computer Main-tenance Technology classes.
“I love computers,” Danielssaid after the ceremony. “I’vealways loved working withthem.”
She plans on attending Jo-liet Junior College next yearto get her degree in an IT field,she said.
Friends Ryan Kowalczykand Victor Toussaint, bothMorris seniors, were twowho were awarded Directors’Awards for Fire Science.
“It’s a brotherhood,” Kow-
alczyk said. “It’s a lot of work,but you’re doing what you loveto do. Getting in the gear anddoing what you’re aspiring tobe is what makes it fun.”
“It is like a family,” Tous-saint said. “I wanted to be afirefighter even before the pro-gram. I think it’s a way to giveback to your community anddo a public service.”
Other honors bestowed atthe event included Fire Sci-ence Outstanding StudentAward, awarded to Morris se-nior Samantha Limbach, andTradesman of the Year, award-ed to Noah Rosak, of MinookaCommunity High School.

County’s generator crisisresolved with installation
By HEIDI [email protected]
MORRIS – The Grun-dy County Administrationbuilding has gotten its newgenerator running after aback-up generator last Sep-tember stopped working.
The generator powerscounty infrastructure in theevent of an outage. Withouta back-up generator for pow-er, $400,000 worth of healthdepartment vaccines, thecounty’s IT servers, the coun-ty morgue and the GrundyCounty Emergency Opera-tion Center are at risk.
“A test was performed onFriday and everything is upand running,” Grundy Coun-ty Board Chairman DavidWelter said Saturday. “It’simportant to make sure thereis no down time in the infra-structure.”
On April 23, a temporarygenerator was delivered tothe building and hooked up.On April 24, the county hadComEd disconnect commer-cial power, turning off allpower to the facility so therental generator could be
started safely. This was nec-essary to install the new,permanent generator to thepower grid. The county ranon the rental generator untilMay 1, when ComEd couldsafely restore power with thenew generator in place.
Welter said staff was alert-ed to power down their com-puters while the switcheshappened. The project wascompleted without issue.
Weekly tests will takeplace, with the unit run forabout an hour, transferringpower twice. Testing will bescheduled to occur before thebuilding opens to the public.
Chris Kindelspire, countyelectronic operations direc-tor, said in an email to staffand board members therewill be a remote monitoringsystem for power.
“Now we will be affordedsituational awareness re-garding power for the facilityalong with early warning inthe event of a minor or majorissue with the unit,” he saidin the email. Welter said Kin-delspire took the lead on theproject, which made the proj-ect run smoothly.

Saratoga students become principal for a dayBy ALLISON SELK
Shaw Media correspondent
MORRIS – On a typicalFriday, students at SaratogaElementary School hear anannouncement calling for stu-dents to come to the multi-pur-pose room.
What made this past Fri-day atypical was this intercommessage was given by thirdgrade student Emma Johnson,one of the students acting asprincipal for the day.
At a Parent Teacher Orga-nization fundraiser in March,one auction item up for bidwas for a student to becomeprincipal for the day. PrincipalJoe Zweeres said the auctionbrought in double the money.
“During the auction, wehad two families bidding backand forth and back and forthfor the principal of the dayprize. We decided to give it totwo families for the amountthey were bidding,” Zweeressaid.
To their surprise, bothJohnson and second gradestudent Mossimo Gallo won,meaning the two would put ina full day of principal duties.
“The kids kept busy tak-ing phone calls, taking toursof the school and makingnotes of things that neededto be addressed, checking onclassrooms, and the two evenworked the lunch room duringfirst grade lunch, helping stu-dents open items,” Zweeressaid.
Gallo liked helping withfirst grade lunch, even if hehad to file a report on a stu-dent who wasn’t following therules.
“I had to report someoneduring lunch, because hepunched his milk carton. Itdidn’t explode into the air. In-stead, when he opened it, themilk went all over the table.”Gallo said.
Communicating with theoffice and with Gallo was ahighlight for Johnson.
“I like the whole day, butit was fun using the walk-ie-talkie’s to communicate sowe didn’t get lost in the schoolwhen we were delivering notesand pencils,” Johnson said.
Zweeres said Johnson wasvery perceptive and took thejob seriously when she hadto walk the halls to check theschool.
“Emma went down the fifthgrade hall, which is a side ofthe building she normallyisn’t in, being in third grade,”Zweeres said. “She saw artalong the walls and suggestedthat they send an email to theart teacher telling her that theart looked good on the wall.”
One perk the children re-
ceived, which Zweeres saidis not part of his typical day,was leaving campus for lunch.Each student was allowed tobring one friend along to this“business lunch.”
“We all sat down and brain-stormed where we would gofor lunch, and the kids pickedone of their favorite places to
go in Morris, Corleone’s Ital-ian Restaurant downtown,”Zweeres said.
Gallo said lunch, along witha quick stop for ice cream, andpossibly getting out of doinghis student notebook test,were the best parts of the day.

options included SonomaFarm, a gourmet olive oil, vin-aigrette and pasta sauce com-pany out of Chicago Heights.
Manager Daniel Garcia,in charge of production, saidSonoma Farm sets up at mar-kets across the suburbs, but 3French Hens is one of the nic-est he’s been to.
“It’s also easy to find andnot many have a good viewlike this,” Garcia said, refer-ring to the nearby canal.
Sonoma Farm seems to in-troduce a new item each yearafter starting with olive oils,Garcia said.It now offers sweetor spicy pickled items.
Some vendors who don’thave a store with regular busi-
ness hours, such as Doug Balesof Joliet, get an opportunity tosell their work and conversewith those who have similarinterests.
Bales considers woodwork-ing his hobby, although he’llretire soon and have moretime to craft his projects.
He works on six or more dif-ferent pieces at any particulartime, but one piece on displaywas a first for Bales.
A friend sold a family farmin Wisconsin, so Bales asked
for some barn wood. With it,he made an outhouse.
“I love coming to marketsbecause it’s full of people whowork with their hands,” Balessaid. “Everyone tends to be ontheir computers these days.What happened to the trades?”
Bales will work with anykind of wood, but since thebarn wood was more than 100years old, he didn’t apply anystains or sealers.
“You don’t mess with barnwood,” Bales said. “It’s lastedthis long, why change it?”
Those who missed the firstmarket of the year will havemany opportunities left thisseason.
Five more 3 French HensCountry Markets are set totake place 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.the second Saturday of eachmonth through October.

“I would never be able todo it; I want to become a vet-erinarian. I already know alot about animals so it won’ttake that much thinking in col-lege,” Johnson said.

Many roadway depart-ments in Will and Grundycounties plan on going back tothe state bidding process forroad salt amid uncertainty onsalt price and some not receiv-ing any bids at all last year.
But many public officialsare tempering their expecta-tions this year.
Last year, the state’s roadsalt industry experienced ashortage caused by the harsh2013-14 winter.
The Illinois Department ofCentral Management Serviceshas served as a marketplacewhere rock salt vendors canbid on municipal or county re-quests.
Morris, consortiumThe city of Morris has nev-
er used the state bidding pro-cess, Public Works DirectorJim Gretencord said.
Instead, it has relied ona partnership with MortonSalt, and will continue to inthe future despite the suppli-er cutting back on supply andincreasing prices to $126 a ton.
“I actually get a better pricenot going through the state,”Gretencord said, adding thatthe salt comes out of Ottawa,allowing the city to retrievesalt itself instead of relyingon delivery, which could takea long time during harsh win-ters.
However, Gretencord saidhe doesn’t expect salt prices togo down to pre-2014 levels.
Continuing state bidsJoliet last year renewed its
state-bid contract with a slightprice increase from the 2013-14rate because it also bought saltthrough a deal with the city ofNaperville.
“We only had to request two-thirds of the amount last year,”said Jim Trizna, Joliet publicworks director. “This year weplan on purchasing from thestate.”
Grundy County also re-ceived a state bid last year.
“We were fortunate enoughto continue the contract andkeep costs down to $52 per ton,”said Grundy County EngineerCraig Cassem, adding thatthere is no plan to deviate fromthe state bidding process.
Left outLast year several munici-
palities, including Plainfield,Channahon and Shorewood,didn’t receive bids through theprogram, forcing them to solic-it bids themselves.
However, Plainfield stillplans to go through the statebidding process.
“We had a little heartburnlast year over the issue, butwe’re hopeful this year,” saidAllen Persons, Plainfleld pub-lic works director.
Plainfield approved a saltcontract of 3,000 tons at $107.20per ton last year. That cost perton was much higher than pre-vious years’ state bids, Personssaid.
Last year, the village wentthrough the state bidding pro-cess twice.
But Persons said if no bidsare received on the first try thisyear, he plans to discuss with
the Village Board securing aquick bid through the villageinstead of the state.
The Will County Divisionof Transportation also didn’treceive a bid through the stateprogram last year.
Assistant County EngineerJeff Ronaldson said the countypurchased about 10,000 tons ofsalt through Elgin-based Cen-tral Salt for $105.25 per ton.
“It’s about half of what weusually get because the pricewas doubled,” Ronaldson said.
Plainfield recently exploreddeveloping a consortiumthrough the Will County Gov-ernmental League to get lowerprices.
However, Persons said thebig players in the county, Jo-liet and Will County, expressedgreater interest in going backto state bids.

ANKARA, Turkey – Ke-nan Evren, the general wholed Turkey’s 1980 militarycoup that ended years ofstreet-clashes between rivalleft- and right-wing militiasbut also unleashed a wave ofarrests, torture and extrajudi-cial killings died Saturday. Hewas 97.
The ailing former generalwho later ruled as presidentfor seven years, died at An-kara’s GATA military hos-pital, the state-run AnadoluAgency reported, hours afterhe was placed on a respiratordue to multiple organ failure.His family and lawyers werecalled to his side.
Evren was hailed as a heroat the time of the coup for end-ing fighting that had left some
5,000 people dead and put thecountry on the brink of a civilwar. But he soon became oneof the country’s most contro-versial figures, rememberedmore for the torture of formermilitants and their supportersand for introducing a constitu-tion that restricted freedomsand formalized the military’srole in politics.
Turkish political leadersstill are scrambling to replace
the constitution he helped in-stitute.
Last year, Evren, along-side the only other survivingmember of the 1980 coup, wasconvicted of crimes againstthe state and sentenced to lifeimprisonment, the first gen-erals to be tried and convict-ed of leading a coup in Turkeywhich has a history of militarytakeovers.
The court decision stripped
him of his military title anddemoted him to the rank of aprivate.
The trial was made possibleafter the Islamic-rooted gov-ernment of then prime min-ister Recep Tayyip Erdogansecured constitutional amend-ments in a 2010 referendum, inthe hope that the showcase tri-al would help put an end to themilitary’s interventions onceand for all.
Turkish coup leader, former president, Evren dies at 97

14OPINION
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom ofspeech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
THE FIRSTAMENDMENT
Ben Carson declared re-cently his presidential candi-dacy in Detroit. Not a minutetoo soon.
The retired neurosurgeonand conservative star formeda presidential exploratorycommittee March 3. Sincethen, he’s been travelingaround the country in whatmight be called a nonstrategicway – making paid speechesthat he had longstanding com-mitments to give, appearing atevents for his Carson ScholarsFund (which awards money topromising students around thecountry) and, in other ways,not directing any particularfocus on the key early states ofIowa, New Hampshire, SouthCarolina and Nevada.
At the same time, Carsonhas been absent from someimportant party gatherings.For example, Carson did notattend the GOP summit inNew Hampshire a coupleof weeks ago that featureda huge field – almost everyserious (and nonserious) 2016candidate. Nor did Carson goto Iowa last weekend for a bigsocial conservative gatheringthat showcased a large num-ber of hopefuls.
As Carson traveled non-politically, he slid down pollsof the GOP race. Since thebeginning of March, Carsonhas slipped from 12.3 percentin the RealClearPolitics aver-age of polls – nearly in the toptier of candidates – to less thanhalf that, 5.8 percent, about aweek ago. Aides say Carson isdoing well on social media andin various outreach efforts.After Carson announcedthe exploratory committee,according to Mike Murray, asenior adviser for fundraisingand grassroots efforts, thewould-be campaign raised $2.1million from a little more than30,000 donors, with the aver-age contribution between $50
to $60. In April, the campaignadded another 25,000 donors.“It’s been tremendous,” Mur-ray said.
On his committee’swebsite, Carson has beenasking conveniently leadingquestions designed to offerhim encouragement to run.Which in your estimation is amore important quality for apresident: Having a career inWashington politics or havingsolid values and character?”Carson’s committee says peo-ple “overwhelmingly” choosesolid values and character.
Carson made his announce-ment in Detroit. It’s a naturalchoice, since it is not justCarson’s hometown, but also agood political choice becausesome conservatives see thecity, mired in bankruptcy andgeneral, long-running de-cline, as a laboratory for newpolicies that could reverse itsfortunes. Carson could directspecial attention to the city’sproblems.
Whatever Carson does, itwill stand out from the restof the field. Carson speeches,even in a political setting,can seem more like TED talkson the values that broughthim success in the decidedlynon-political field of brainsurgery.
That ends soon. If he runs,Carson will have to get intopolitics in a big way. No moreputting off questions. Carsonmay run an unconventionalcampaign, but it will still haveto be a campaign. And it has tostart very soon.

Morris shows its support for Ryan Bernickus in several heartfelt ways
ALWAYS A TEAMBy ROB OESTERLE
MORRIS – During Thurs-day’s baseball game againstSterling, Morris wore hatswith the letters RB and thenumber 31 on the front and theincsciption “No One FightsAlone” emblazoned across theback.
That phrase was certainlyin evidence all day as a largecrowd gathered in support offormer Morris player RyanBernickus, who has been fight-ing osteosarcoma, a cancerthat starts in the bones.
The team also wore grayT-shirts with Bernickus’ nick-name, “Bernie,” across theshoulders and his former num-ber, 31, on the back, during in-field practice before the game.
Bernickus and his fami-ly showed up just before theRedskins took infield and hemade his way through thecrowd of well-wishers on acane fashioned out of a hockeystick before greeting the teamin the duguot.
When Morris completedits pregame drills, the Morrissoftball team and its opponentfor the day, Sycamore, camefrom the neighboring field.The Morris team was alsowearing its “Bernie” T-shirts,and stood along the grass be-tween the infield and left fied.The Morris baseball team wason the third-base line, and theSterling baseball and Syca-more softball teams were onthe first-base line.
Bernickus then made hisway to the middle of the field
– without his cane – and threwout the ceremonial first pitchto Morris catcher Tyler Bord-ner. He was then embraced byMorris coach Todd Kein as thecrowd gave him a long stand-ing ovation.
Among the crowd wereMorris mayor Dick Kopczick,Morris Community HighSchool principal Kelly Hussey,MCHS assistant principal Jeff
Johnson, former Cubs pitcherand Morris baseball standoutBilly Petrick, and many of Ber-nickus’ former teammates.
Also, when the Sterlingbaseball coaches, Nick Pepperand Adam Roe, heard aboutwhat was going on that dayand why, they voluntarily do-nated immediately.
“It was awesome to see ev-eryone here,” Bernickus said
after the Redskins came awaywith a 4-1 victory on BernieDay. “There were lots of peopleI haven’t seen for a long time,so it was nice to see them. Itwas great. Drew Walker wasa teammate of mine, and hislittle brother, Matt, was the
starting pitcher today, so thatwas pretty cool.”
Bernickus, who graduatedfrom MCHS in 2011, said hecompleted his last round ofchemotherapy about a month

ago, and will not have to re-turn to a hospital until July fora three-month checkup. Afterthat, he will have another cou-ple of three-month checkups,then they will change to sixmonths and then yearly.
In between checkups, hewill continue his fight, thanksto a perspective and attitudethat goes well beyond hisyears. He already has com-pleted three years of college atUniveristy of Iowa and, afterhaving taken this year off be-cause of his treatment, planson attending University of Il-linois-Chicago at Rockford tocomplete his pharmacy degree.He said this as a matter of fact,not as something he hopes todo.
“It’s kind of the only way forme to look at it,” he said. “Youdon’t plan for something likethis, but you adjust to it andkeep going. I am working to bemore independent, but I’m notquite there yet. I have to keepgoing to physical therapy andget to the point where I can liveon my own.”
One constant in his life ishis parents, Rick and Marcy.Like Ryan, they don’t seek at-tention, but they have provid-ed strength for him throughouthis recovery.
“My parents,” Bernickussaid, taking time to collecthimself before continuing.“During the eight months thatI was in the hospital, they nev-er left me alone. I don’t meanthat like they were botheringme. I mean that they never leftme by myself. They were al-ways there for me.
“The first thing my dad saidwhen we found out was, ‘Wewill get through this. No mat-ter what it takes, that’s whatwe will do to get this done.’ ”
Not only were there T-shirtsand hats being sold, but 11businesses in Morris pledgedto donate $10 per run thatMorris scored that day. Thatmeant that an extra $440 wentto the fund to help the Bernick-us family with their expens-es. The local businesses thatdonated were Chicago Pizza,Brandt’s Body Shop, HonestAbe’s Tap & Grill, Corleone’s,Greenhorn Saloon & Eatery,Montage Wine Bar, Feeney
Package Liquor, McGrath Of-fice Equipment Clayton’s Tap,Ebbey’s Bar & Grill and Sam’sPizza. Special thanks alsowent out to Dave Wiers of Lo-goWorks for the hats and ErikEnervold of Simian Brothersfor the T-shrts. As far as thefundrasing, such as the sell-ing of the T-shirts and hats atgames and during school, mostof the work came from a sur-prising source.
“The guys on the team didmost of this,” Kein said. “Whenthey found out about Ryan,they wanted to do something.It just seemed natural to picka date on our schedule and justmake a day all about him. Thekids on the team, especially thecaptains, took control and gotthis thing going. Tyler Bord-ner, especially, was kind of theringleader for that and sparkedeveryone to want to pitch in.
“It was very gratifying tosee them follow through onthis and it shows what kindof character they have andthat they realize there’s moreimportant things than justbaseball. When you’re 17 or 18years old, it’s sometimes hardto see the bigger picture.
“As a program, we like tofeel that we do things right.This gave us a chance to seethe human side of things andit’s kind of a reality check.”
It was definitely a day thatRyan Bernickus will alwaysremember.
“It was fun to walk out tothe mound again,” he said.“It’s been four years since Ihave been on this field. Towalk out to that mound againand have everyone there, itwas awesome.”
“Ryan had a lot of greatmoments on this field,” RickBernickus said. “This one wasby far the greatest. The thingabout all this is, I have learneda lot of things from my son.”

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Lisa Kudrow, who made her nameas Phoebe on “Friends,” said, “I thinkit’s always a good move to listen tothat inner voice, if it doesn’t lead to acrime.”
Some bridge players follow theirinner voices. But most should analyzeeach deal, considering the alternatives.Here, South is in four spades. Westleads a trump. (What do you think ofthat choice?) How should South planthe play?
After South opened with a weaktwo-bid, North responded two no-trump, which asked South to define hishand. With a maximum, South rebidthree diamonds, showing his “feature,”which is typically the ace or king ofthat suit.
Many players would draw trumpsand run the heart jack, but should fail.East wins with his king and shifts to thediamond queen. The defenders taketwo tricks in that suit, then sit backand wait for a club winner. Instead,declarer should draw trumps ending onthe board and lead a low heart towardhis jack.
If West could take that trick withthe heart king, he would do best to shiftto clubs. However, South would winwith dummy’s ace and cash the heartace-queen, discarding the diamond fourfrom his hand. Declarer would lose onlyone trick in each side suit.
Here, if East wins with his heartking, South gets six spades, threehearts and one club. If East ducks,South loses only two diamonds andone club.
Finally, West made a poor choice ofopening lead. He should have selectedthe club three. Don’t be afraid to leadfrom a king, especially around to aweak hand.
Do you lead uphere or there?

Dear Dr. K: For the past fewmonths I just haven’t had myusual energy. Should I see adoctor?
Dear Reader: We all havetimes when we lack energy;it’s a universal human expe-rience. We often can pinpointthe cause: hard physical ormental work, an ongoingstressful situation, lack ofenough good-quality sleep.
Most people also probablyexperience times when theylack energy or feel unusuallytired but cannot pinpoint thecause. Sometimes, it’s a briefinfectious illness that hasn’tproduced the usual symptoms,such as sneezing, body achesor fever. Sometimes, it’s just amystery.
According to surveys,about 20 percent of people will
say “yes” if you stop them inthe street and ask if they arefeeling unusually tired forno good reason. Most of themwill never contact their doctorabout it, figuring it will pass.
Still, fatigue is one of themost common reasons peopledo seek medical care. Mygeneral advice is to contactyour doctor if you’re so tiredyou can’t get out of bed, or ifyou experience fatigue or lackof energy that is very unusualfor you – more intense or morelong-lasting.
Two of the most commoncauses of fatigue are depres-
sion and just plain overwork.Fatigue may be a side effectof medication or the result ofpoor sleep habits. Or it maybe caused by one of manyillnesses, from chronic fatiguesyndrome and fibromyalgia,to anemia, heart failure ormultiple sclerosis.
Start by talking to yourprimary care physician. Heor she will ask questions andperform a physical examina-tion designed to root out anyunderlying medical or psycho-logical illness. Many illnessescan cause fatigue. Describeyour symptoms in detail tohelp your doctor narrowdown the possible causes. Forexample:
• Do you have trouble con-centrating?
• Do you tire more quickly
than usual?• Do certain activities take
more effort than they used to?As another example, think
about which activities you’vehad to limit. For example:
• You can no longer stayawake for dinner and a movie.
• You no longer wake upfeeling refreshed, even afteryou’ve slept all night.
• When you exercise, yourmuscles feel achy and weak inless time than they once did.
Timing also is important.Tell the doctor when you start-ed noticing a decrease in yourphysical or mental energylevel. Was the change gradualor sudden? Did the onset of fa-tigue coincide with any othersignificant change in your life:Had you been ill? Was there adeath in the family?
Also, make sure to tellyour doctor about any othersymptoms you might beexperiencing along with thelack of energy. Do you getout of breath easily? Do yourmuscles or joints ache? Do youhave trouble sleeping? Areyou feeling unusually sad oranxious? Different symptomsaccompanying fatigue suggestdifferent causes.
No matter the root of yourproblem, there are treatmentsand practical strategies thatcan help restore your energy.The first step is to talk to yourdoctor.
