Local parishioners observeAshWednesdaySermon explains day’s meaning

By HEIDI [email protected]

MORRIS – Parishionersfilled Immaculate ConceptionChurch on Wednesday to hearthe words of the Rev. Ed Howeas he discussed the true mean-ing of Ash Wednesday and itssignificance within the Catho-lic Church.

“Sometimes Ash Wednes-day is misunderstood,” Howesaid after the second Mass ofthe day. “People focus on re-ceiving the ashes but are miss-ing the point that it is a timeto repent and believe, which isthe journey of Lent.”

At many Ash Wednesdayservices, the priest or ministerwill lightly rub the sign of thecross with ashes onto the fore-heads of worshipers.

Howe said many have giv-en a holy significance to theashes, which are not holy bythemselves.

“There is nothing holyabout these ashes unless youmake a commitment,” he said.

When one makes a commit-ment for the next 40 days ofLent, then he or she is doingwhat Jesus wants, Howe said.

Students joined parishio-ners at the 8:15 a.m. Mass, thesecond of four Masses offeredWednesday, often held withstanding-room only crowds.

Howe said Ash Wednesdayis the most attended serviceeach year at Immaculate Con-ception. The only other day itholds four Masses is on Christ-mas.

“It’s a holy day of obli-gation. More come on AshWednesday then on Easter,which is kind of backwards,”Howe said after Mass. “Wehave people from other de-nominations who also come toreceive ashes.”

Jillian Munsell of Minooka,an eighth-grade student at Im-maculate Conception School,said Lent is a time of new be-ginning, of helping others andgiving up something to giveothers a chance to have whatthey need.

As a family, the Munsellswill give up TV on weekdays,and Jillian will give up heriPod for the next 40 days whiledonating $1 each day to RiceBowls, a nonprofit organiza-tion that helps feed the world’shungry children.

Seventh-grade student EliDavy of Morris said he willgive up ice cream and waf-fles, his two favorite foods,for Lent. He also is going toattempt for the second time toread the Book of Revelations,a goal he set out to achieve be-fore but stopped after gettingabout halfway through.

“Mass on Ash Wednesday isa little more special,” he said.“It’s more meaningful.”

Students are asked to par-ticipate in the Mass and theyperformed music, led prayers,and took part in Howe’s ser-mon by answering questionsabout Ash Wednesday andLent.

Students from kindergartenthrough eighth grade respond-ed with answers defining Lentas a time to follow what God

says, a time to be kind to oth-ers, to give something up, andhelp the poor and sick.

“Lent is your invitation ev-ery year to change,” Howe saidduring his sermon. “We needto ask, how do we deepen ourbelief in God?”

When Howe asked the chil-dren why they give up meat forLent, one student responded,“Because Jesus gave his life onthe cross.”

Howe told the students giv-

ing up meat, in and of itself,isn’t what matters. It’s know-ing that you are abstainingfor your sins. Ash Wednesdaymarks the first day of the sea-son of Lent in Western Chris-tianity. Lent takes place in the40 days, not counting Sundays,prior to Easter.

Many Christians, includingthose of the Catholic faith, pre-pare for Easter by fasting, orabstaining from an indulgencethey enjoy.

District 54 to purchase new agenda program

Students to fundraise to construct parkBy JESSICA BOURQUEShaw Media Correspondent

COAL CITY – Coal Citystudent Juliana Gomien lovesswinging across monkey bars,climbing up slides and glidingon swings as much as the nextfifth-grade kid. But that’s nolonger what she thinks aboutwhen she sees a playground.

She and a group of about 20Coal City Intermediate Schoolclassmates have spent morethan a year researching anddesigning a new playgroundfor their school, which hasleft them with a deeper un-derstanding of parks and play

areas.“[Juliana and I] saw a play

structure and our first thoughtwas, ‘Wow, how much do youthink this one cost,’ ” Juliana’smother Terry Gomien said. “Itwas so cool. That’s how theystart thinking now. … Theyunderstand everything thatgoes into it because they’re go-ing through this process them-selves.”

The students are keenlyaware of playground prices.Many were surprised whenthey realized just how muchit would cost to install newequipment at their school, saidCoal City teacher and project

leader Betsy Cowherd.The idea to replace the

school’s old playground germi-nated last year, when Julianaand about 20 others studentsjoined Coal City IntermediateSchool’s talented and giftedprogram. Cowherd, the pro-gram leader, wanted studentsto work on a project thatwould enrich both the schooland community. They decideda new playground was sorelyneeded and would benefit ev-eryone.

MORRIS – Morris Elemen-tary School District 54 is pur-chasing a web-based programto streamline agenda packetsused by the school board.

The school board voted 4 to1 on Tuesday in favor of pur-chasing a four-month license

for BoardBook, a web-basedapplication that streamlinesthe preparation, distribu-tion and publishing of agen-da packets. Board memberBonnie Cap voted against thepurchase, and members CarolNarvick and Dave Obrochtawere absent.

Superintendent Teri Shawsaid the cost to use the appli-

cation, which the district hasbeen using on a trial basis forthe past month, would be $167a month for the remainder ofthe school year. At that time,the board can decide if it wantsto extend a contract for nextschool year at the annual costof $2,000.

“We tried it with the iPadthree years ago,” Board Presi-

dent Scot Hastings said.“On the iPad, it didn’t work

great,” board member CarolynCummings said in response toHastings.

BoardBook is offered by theIllinois Association of SchoolBoards, which claims the useof BoardBook will save onprinting and copying expens-es, reduce agenda preparation

time, and deliver and haveavailable board meeting mate-rials to school board membersand the public, as well as linkto IASB and local district re-sources.

“I know it’s in the budgetand the selling point was it’sgoing to save time,” Cap said.

Most people are surprised to learn that there are a lot of buyers looking athomes in January and February each year. Normally there are fewer buyerslooking at homes in December because they are Christmas shopping onthe weekends instead of house shopping. But as soon as the holidays areover, the buyers are back looking at homes in force. My company tracksthe number of buyer viewings of homes listed with our company, and thispast January we saw a huge number of buyers looking at homes. In fact,there were twice as many viewings of our listings in January of 2015 thanthere were in January 2014! February is off to a great start too. Of coursethese viewings will result in home sales in the next few months. With thebig increase in buyers looking at homes this year, I expect 2015 to be a verygood year for home sales!

Do buyers look at homes during the wintermonths or do they wait for warmer weather?

A: An ingrown toenail is one that curves into the skin, maybreak the skin and lead to painful, dangerous infections. Toooften tight shoes, tight socks and incorrect nail trimming areto blame, but in some cases heredity also plays a part in ournails’ tendency to curve. Tips: 1) teach children from a youngage to trim their toenails properly, in a straight line and not too short, 2) make sure shoes fit properly withwidth being most important, 3) reduce inflammation by soaking in room-temperature water and gentlymassaging the side of the nail fold, 4) see a foot doctor (podiatrist) right away, and 5) never dig the nail outor cut it off, as this “bathroom surgery” carries a high risk of infection.

At the Foot & Ankle Centers, our doctors perform a minor surgical procedure in the comfort of our doctors’office, in most cases the same day as the initial visit. You will be able to walk out of our office betterthan you walked in. Call today to schedule your appointment with one of our board-certified podiatristsat our location nearest you!

during the school day, but wedon’t really have much play-ground to play on,” said Juli-ana, who added that the cur-rent equipment is old and toosmall for many students.

To install and purchase thesingle-structure playgroundthe students put together,they will need to raise at least$30,000. The daunting price taghas not stopped them. Withhelp from parents and teach-ers, they’ve organized a cam-paign through the online plat-form Kickstarter, which willlaunch Friday.

Kickstarter is a programused to crowdsource fundingfor projects. Through the web-site, students set fundraisinggoals and make a pitch to po-tential donors. Their pitchincludes a student-made vid-eo detailing why a new play-ground is important and howit will benefit the community,and gives a detailed descrip-tion of how the donated moneywill be used.

If someone likes the pitch,he or she can pledge to backthe project with any dollaramount. If enough money ispledged, the project moves for-ward. If not, the students willneed to find another fundingsource.

“We had to find somethingwhere people could pledgemoney, but if the project didn’tmake it, then they could stillget their money back and it

wouldn’t cost the school any-thing,” Cowherd said.

To encourage higher dona-tions, the students came upwith rewards for those whoback the project, includingT-shirts, thank you cards, ashout-out on the project web-site and more. Cowherd saidthose who donate the most willbe invited to the grand open-ing of the new playground andwill be among the first to playon the new equipment.

“The challenge for themwas thinking of rewards thatwouldn’t cost too much addi-tional money,” Cowherd said.

The group has dubbed theinitiative “Project Play” andspent many months getting tothis point. Before the projectwas approved, the studentsmade presentations to the CoalCity School Board. They alsolearned about loans and otherfunding resources from localbusinesses, and researchedthe safety features needed fortheir equipment.

“It’s totally been the kidsproject. They’ve been behindeverything and it’s been agreat learning experience forthem,” Cowherd said.

Coal City IntermediateSchool is holding a schoolassembly Friday where thestudents will launch the Kick-starter and excite the rest ofthe student body.

Cowherd said she will makethe first pledge during the as-sembly to illustrate how it’sdone.

Once the Kickstarter pageis live, anyone can pledge.

Q: How does Grinding and ClenchingAffect Teeth?

A: Many people do not know that they clench or grind theirteeth at night. Most of the time, a significant other can tell if theirspouse is grinding. If you are unsure if you grind or clench, lookat your top front teeth. If they are flat and are the same height,you are a grinder. Upper front teeth are meant to be at differentheights, that’s what makes a smile look good. But once they are thesame height, you are grinding them. Grinding and clenching leadsto fracturing of the teeth which leads to root canals and crowns.The more often you clench and grind, the more likely a chance youwill kill the nerve in the tooth. When a nerve dies, you have a sud-den onset of pain triggered by nothing in particular. Grinding andclenching is a subconscious activity and unfortunately, it is difficultto stop. With a custom fabricated night guard, you can clench on apiece of plastic instead of your teeth.This night guard can save youfrom many trips to the dentist and costly treatment.

STATE BUDGET

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

SPRINGFIELD – Area law-makers had mixed reactions toGov. Bruce Rauner’s proposedbudget cuts – which he calledthe state’s “last, best chance toget our house in order.”

Republican lawmakers ar-gued the spending plan Raun-er presented Wednesday waswell-balanced with increasedfunding for education and isthe “great, first step” towardimproving the state’s financialcrisis.

But his proposed deep cutsto Medicaid – along with cutsto other areas, including hu-man services, higher educa-tion and local governments– didn’t go over too well withlocal social service agenciesand Democrat lawmakers.

The proposed spending planalso calls for the elimination ofsome programs for people withdevelopmental disabilities, in-cluding para-transit services.

Pam Heavens, executivedirector for the Will-Grundy

Center for Independent Liv-ing, said Wednesday it’s “notgood policy.”

“I really don’t think hegrasps what everyday peoplehave to go through,” Heavenssaid. “We will work vigorous-ly with our state legislatorsto make sure these proposalsnever see the light of day.”

Crafting a budgetLocal Republican lawmak-

ers applauded Rauner for his“honest take” to running stategovernment.

“For the first time in years,we have a leader in the gover-nor’s office,” said state Rep.John Anthony, R-Plainfield.“Illinois chose a different di-rection and I think we shouldgive him an opportunity.”

Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris,did not immediately returnphone calls seeking com-ment, but said in an emailedstatement from her office thatRauner’s proposal serves as a“cold dose of reality.”

“Our budget crisis is whathappens when you haveone-party rule for more thana decade. It’s no surprise thebudget decisions that willhave to be made to get ourstate back on its fiscal trackare difficult,” Rezin said in thestatement. “The solutions toour fiscal problems are deep,so fixing them requires boldreforms, very tough decisions,

and the courage to make ithappen.”

But Rep. Larry Walsh Jr.,D-Elwood, said Rauner’s cuts –which involve going deep intothe pockets of higher educa-tion institutions – will not flywith the Democrat-controlledHouse and Senate.

“All of his [higher educa-tion] cuts mean is that costwill be passed on to studentsthrough tuition and fees,”Walsh Jr. said. “This is hiswish list. It’s up to us to put to-gether a budget. I don’t thinksome of his suggestions are go-ing to go very far.”

Rauner’s plan also relies on$2.2 billion in anticipated sav-ings with his newly proposedpension reform package.

Walsh Jr. also said Raun-er’s inclusion of the estimatessavings in this year’s budgetplan is dishonest, consideringhis reform package has yet tobe vetted in court with ongo-ing lawsuit challenges.

During his budget address,Rauner said the state wouldhave to make some “difficultchoices” that “no one wants tomake.”

“In it, we end the irrespon-sible and reckless practices ofthe past, and make sure theywill never happen again,”Rauner said.

“This is our last, bestchance to get our house in or-der,” Rauner said.

Lawmakers, local agencies reactto governor’s budget addressRauner proposesspending cuts toMedicaid, highereducation

“We’ve added another per-son whose job descriptionfreed up time from others. Wekeep spending money and I’mnot comfortable with the ex-pense,” Cap continued.

Board member Pat Stevenssaid the new position freedup some time, but he doesn’tfeel that staff has enough timeeven after the changes to staff.

“We still don’t have enoughpeople, so freeing up time is

a good thing,” Stevens said.“We’re still short, that’s justmy opinion.”

Cummings said the aspectof the application she likesbest is that the public canfind out what is going on inthe board packets and online,without hunting for the dif-ferent links. “One-click accessfor the public is worth the ex-pense,” she said.

Shaw said the IASB paper-work estimates the applicationcan save more than $20,000a year for a district, but shedoesn’t feel the savings to Dis-

trict 54 would be as significantas the estimates from IASB.

“I think we will save atleast $2,000 in man hours andmaybe a few hundred dollarsin paper and ink,” Shaw said.

Shaw said it will be embed-ded into the website beforenext month’s meeting.

In other business, theschool board meetings forMarch and April have beenchanged to the third Tuesdayof the month, instead of Mon-day, due to scheduling con-flicts. The dates are March 17and April 21.

Unexpected abusersof elderly

By Gina Kraman

Elder abuse is on the rise,and the perpetrators are sur-prising: family members. Ac-cording to the National Com-mittee for the Prevention ofElder Abuse (NCPEA), “Themost common abusers aresons, daughters, grandchil-dren, or spouses who may havesubstance abuse, gambling orother financial problems. Theymay be unemployed, and feeljustified in taking what they be-lieve is ‘almost’ or ‘rightfully’theirs.”

NCPEA explains that peopleover age 50 maintain about 70percent of the nation’s wealth.Add loneliness, frailty, andneediness to a sizable bankaccount, and the elderly maybecome desirable targets tothose closest to them.

Perpetrators seek victimswho are isolated, unfamiliarwith their finances, have re-cently lost a spouse, and suf-fer from physical or mentaldisabilities. The criminals stealmoney, forge checks, use cred-it cards, and deceptively takewhat’s not theirs.

Other abusers include care-givers who have access to theelderly’s assets, and are unableto resist taking advantage oftheir vulnerable employers. Ad-ditional perpetrators scan theobituaries to identify widowsand widowers who may suc-cumb to a sympathetic strang-er offering a “great deal.” Somelegitimate professionals mayvictimize the elderly by over-charging for their services orproducts.

BOYS BASKETBALL: OTTAWA 66, MORRIS 59

Ottawa trips upMorris,claims NIB 12 west title

By MARK JOHNSONShaw Media Correspondent

MORRIS – The Gassmandispensed premium – play,that is – and the Ottawa Pi-rates celebrated an outrightNorthern Illinois Big 12 westboys basketball champion-ship on Morris’ floor Tuesdaynight.

O t t a w a j u n i o r I s a a cGassman scored a career-high30 points and added 12 re-bounds to power the Piratespast the Redskins, 66-59.

Now 9-1 in conference play,the Pirates will try to finishthe regular season strong withsome of the pressure off asthe Redskins hope to salvagea spot near the top of the NIB12 East.

“We had a lot of guys thatdid good things tonight,” Ot-tawa coach Mark Cooper saidafter Brett Johnson and Keat-ing Rombach joined Gassmanin double figures. “(Gassman)was able in the first half toscore a few times to give us acushion. … Winning confer-ence championships are verydifficult, and our group is to becommended.”

Morris (16-8, 6-5) also hadthree in double figures – Aus-tin Patterson with 25 points,Evan Bjelland with 16 andGriffin Sobol with 10 – butfound itself playing from be-hind from a second-quarterGassman layup through thefinish.

That basket was the secondin a 11-0 run that stretchedfrom the end of the first quar-ter, which Morris finishedahead 15-13, well into the sec-ond.

Morris was shut out formore than four minutes to be-

gin the second.“We did not defend. That

was 90 percent of our discus-sion after the game. We did notmake them earn their basketsin the second quarter,” Mor-ris coach Joe Blumberg said.“They seemed to be able to getinto the lane whenever theywanted. Thirty-one points in ahalf is unacceptable.”

After Ottawa had answersto virtually every Morris bas-ket early in the second half,the Redskins made a run latein the third. Back-to-back Bjel-land baskets and the third Pat-terson 3 of the quarter cut theMorris deficit to 45-43 enteringthe fourth.

The momentum, and thescore, quickly went the otherdirection from there. Basketsby Ottawa’s Mike Tucker andJohnson opened the fourth,

and after a Bjelland three-point play appeared to giveMorris a spark, the Piratesscored 13 of the next 16 pointsto push their lead into doublefigures.

The lead was healthyenough that eight late pointsfrom Patterson – it would havebeen 11 had a 3-pointer at thebuzzer counted – were of littleconsequence.

“I specifically remembertwo possessions,” Blumbergsaid. “Johnson dribbles acrossthe half line into the lane andscores, we go down and takea selfish, quick shot, and thenext possession, someoneelse – I think Rambach – intothe lane again, unconstest-ed 14-footer. Horrible stretchthere. They’re too good of afree-throw shooting team forus to recover from that.”

16 OPINION

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

Elizabeth Santorum was17 years old when her sister,Bella, was born.

In a new book, “Bella’sGift,” she wrote with herparents, Rick and Karen, shereflects on the uninformedview of love she had beforeher youngest sister taught hersomething more.

Santorum’s last name isno doubt familiar to you. Butthis book is not just anotherreputation-burnishing tomefrom a perennial presidentialcandidate.

It’s about the love of familyand what a difference it canmake. This one isn’t aboutwinning and losing campaigns

but life, death and the real,hard work of love.

“My shallow understand-ing of love was challengedand deepened when Bellawas born and diagnosed withTrisomy 18. I assumed thatmy little sister would never beable to love me in a way thatwas familiar to me. We wouldnever share clothes, talkabout her crushes, or painteach other’s nails. I only sawdependency, not reciprocity,”

Elizabeth writes.Before Bella was born, Tri-

somy 18 was a likely possibili-ty for the Santorums’ unbornchild. Once confirmed, Karen,a nurse, knew the stats. “Ofthe 10 percent of babies withTrisomy 18 who survive birth,90 percent don’t make it totheir first birthday. The prog-nosis was terrifyingly bleak;the odds were stacked againsther. My little girl, my Bella,had an extra 18th chromo-some in every cell of her body,making a genetic code doctorscall ‘incompatible with life.’Lungs shutting down, holesin her heart, kidney prob-lems, and severe intellectual

disability were horrors weshould expect.”

That girl who seemeddoomed is now almost 7 yearsold.

As Bella’s father puts it:“We had to fight for appro-priate life-sustaining care. ...Bella, like so many other peo-ple with severe disabilities,can’t ‘do,’ but she is loved, andwe are especially blessed thatshe can love. What is morevaluable than that?”

“Bella’s Gift” is the storyof the frightening, painful,loving, joyful journey un-dertaken by the Santorumfamily. They wrote it as anencouragement for other fam-

ilies facing some of the sameobstacles, as a wake-up call toa culture that all too often seespeople in terms of utility andas a testament and testimonyto faith, hope and love.

In her vulnerability, Bellahelps restore innocence toour lives, helping us see thatgiving and receiving love iswhat we’re made for.

Congressional Republicans bun-gled just about every chance to takeaction on immigration reform. Pres-ident Barack Obama, eventually,took action on immigration reform.So the GOP doesn’t want to fund theDepartment of Homeland Security.

DHS is set to run out of mon-ey Feb. 27. For all its faults, DHSshould not be the political footballwith which the Republican-con-trolled Congress attempts to scorea touchdown against PresidentObama.

This is the agency, created byPresident George W. Bush in thewake of the 9/11 attacks, whosemission is to prevent any additionalterrorist attack on American soil,secure borders, safeguard cyber-space and enforce immigrationlaws.

So far, the Senate has tried threetimes to pass a DHS funding bill. Allthree tanked.

Last month, the House passed abill to finance the department, butit included language that would killObama’s executive action, pro-tecting from deportation 5 millionundocumented immigrants.

Senate Democrats have beenstanding firm, pushing for an unsul-

lied funding bill, going so far as tostage a filibuster to keep Republicanlawmakers from taking an action onthe bill.

First, the president, who draggedhis own feet, finally took executiveaction in November to shield fromdeportation illegal immigrants whohave children who are U.S. citizens.It was an overdue, limited and fairstep to get a handle on the mess thatis U.S. immigration policy.

Second, what the president didwas perfectly legal.

Third, he will veto any measurethat undoes his executive order.

That means that Republicanswill be responsible for defund-ing the Department of HomelandSecurity as terrorism continues tohit, if not close to home, Americanfamilies who have lost loved ones inISIS’ fight against the West.

For sure, DHS has real issues toaddress – last year, an independentreport criticized Border Protections’“lack of diligence” in investigatingfatal encounters in which its agentswere involved.

This, of course, is how the gameis played. But ensuring citizens’safety is nothing to play with.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Elvis Stojko, a three-time worldfigure skating champion from Canada,said, “I had the strength and thefinesse there and put it all together.”

There is hardly a bridge deal thatgoes by without at least one finessebeing attempted. Sometimes, though,how that finesse is approached canbe key. In today’s deal, how shouldSouth play in three no-trump? Westleads the heart five. East wins withhis queen and returns the suit todummy’s now-bare ace.

South’s two-no-trump rebid shows18 or 19 high-card points (or a great17 or poor 20) and is in principlegame-forcing. The responder then hasthe three-level to investigate strainsother than no-trump and, perhaps, tostart a slam investigation.

Since the lead has removed dum-my’s only fast entry, South cannot usedummy’s diamonds. Instead, he musthope to take one spade, one heart,three diamonds and four clubs. Toget those club tricks, though, mightrequire taking three club finesses.Declarer must stay in the dummythroughout. First, he must run the clubnine. When that wins, he continueswith the club queen. Then East has nodefense.

Note, though, that if South startswith dummy’s club queen, East candefeat the contract by playing low tothis trick. Then what does declarerdo? If he follows suit with his clubthree, he must take the second clubtrick in his hand and cannot finessefor a third time.

Or, if he unblocks his 10 or jack,then leads dummy’s nine, East cancover with his queen. East’s eight willbeat declarer’s three on the fourthround of the suit.

How does declarertake those tricks?

BASIC CABLE

BROADCAST

Dear Dr. K: I have two kidsand a high pressure job. I’malways exhausted. Lately, I’vebeen drinking an energy drinkin the afternoon to get throughthe day. My husband thinksthis is dangerous. Is he right?

Dear Reader: I’m suremany readers can relate tothe mid-afternoon slump.It’s no wonder energy drinksand shots have become thefastest-growing category in thebeverage industry.

What gives energy drinkstheir jolt is good old-fashionedcaffeine. It occurs naturally incoffee, tea, cocoa and choco-late, and is added to energydrinks and some soft drinks.Caffeine is a stimulant. Whenyou consume a food or drinkthat contains it, your brain

cells fire messages more quick-ly, improving concentrationand reaction time. The heartpumps blood faster and moreforcefully, increasing yourphysical energy.

People who regularlyconsume caffeine develop atolerance for it – they need tokeep increasing their intake toget the same effect. People canbecome so dependent on caf-feine they feel rundown whenthey don’t get enough.

Energy drinks can containup to 242 milligrams (mg) ofcaffeine a serving. In com-

parison, a 5- to 8-ounce cup ofcoffee contains roughly 100 mgof caffeine. A 12-ounce can ofCoca-Cola has 50 mg.

Most energy drinks alsocontain lots of sugar. Togetherwith the caffeine, this can leadto a jolt of energy and then acrash (just like eating a candybar). Energy drinks also con-tain a mix of herbs and othersubstances that are marketedas “energy boosters,” thoughthey haven’t actually beenproven to increase energy.

Many people have report-ed negative reactions afterconsuming energy drinks,including heart palpitations,chest pain, high blood pres-sure, anxiety, blurred vision,nausea, vomiting and flushing.

Here’s the bottom line: If

you need a quick surge of ener-gy, it’s OK to have an occasion-al energy drink – no more thanone a day. But this shouldn’tbe a daily or long-term prac-tice. If you’re dragging, it’s farbetter to drink a single cup ofcoffee or tea.

Better yet, try these provennutritional, exercise and life-style strategies to help you feelmore energized:

• Eat small meals andsnacks every few hours ratherthan three large meals a day.

• Drink plenty of water.• Exercise regularly.• Get a good night’s sleep.• Reduce stress with relax-

ation techniques such as deepbreathing and meditation.

As you’ve heard me saymore than once in this column:

Most food or drink that’s un-healthy when used regularly isOK to consume occasionally.That’s surely true of energydrinks.

Unfortunately, most of mypatients who have turned toincreasingly available energydrinks in recent years do notuse them just occasionally.The drinks tend to become acrutch, a habit. If that’s hap-pened with you, I’d stronglyurge you to slowly scale backthe number of energy drinksyou consume each week, witha goal of getting below one aweek.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff atwww.askdoctork.com or AskDoctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Sec-ond Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Don’t make drinking energy drinks, shots a daily habit
