In the article “Technology Committeeapproves GIS data sharing for nonprof-its agreement” that was on page 4 ofthe Friday, Nov. 28, 2014, edition ofthe Morris Daily Herald, the number ofparcels in Grundy County was incor-rect. There are about 26,000 parcelsin the county. Also, the article shouldhave stated nonprofits do not have toperform a specific project for Grundy

County or any other governmental unitfor the nonprofits agreement.The Morris Daily Herald regrets these

errors.

In the article “Anonymous donationof gold coins in red kettles continues”that was on page 3 of the Wednesday,Dec. 10, 2014, edition of the Morris DailyHerald, the word “often” was left out

of a quote. It should have stated, “Theanonymity is a beautiful aspect of thegift. That type of anonymous givingis what we’re compelled to do as anact of our Christian faith,” said DeniseGaska, We Care’s executive director. “Inthis industry, we often see that peoplegive because they want credit for theirbusiness or for themselves. This persondonating doesn’t get a tax incentive

because we don’t know who it is.”

MORRIS – According toover the road truck driverRonald Dennis Page, it takeswork to be a great truck stop.

“The bathrooms and show-ers are the number one prior-ity,” he said. “Good food andgood service are next. Thosefour things are the top of thelist when I’m deciding whichtruck stop I want to go to.”

It came as no surprise toPage when he found out Trav-el Center of America’s R-Placetruck stop in Morris made atop 10 list of best rest stops inthe United States on mental-floss.com.

He was surprised it wasn’thigher than number fivethough.

He stops at R-Place as oftenas he can and is glad to seethat, while the food and ser-vice remain homey, the pumpshave been modernized and theparking lot expanded.

“I love the down-home feeland the ambience,” Page said.“I can get run-of-the-mill menuitems anywhere. The serviceis good and fast and the serv-ers are talkative and nice.”

Kathy Romines openedthe eatery 47 years ago as theChuck Wagon and changed itin 1987 when the restaurantexpanded from 100 to 250 seats.They designed it so truckerswould have their own side of

the restaurant.“We are very family-ori-

ented,” Romines said. “Ourfood is phenomenal and a lotof truck drivers mention theycome for the food.”

She said locals make up agood portion of the businessand she keeps them guessingwhen it comes to what themethey will see next when theycome in the door.

The restaurant is filledwith antiques and it takes sev-

eral trips to see everything dis-played there, Romines said. Assoon as people think they’veseen it all, the atmosphere andtheme changes.

When she first designedthe interior, she thought shewould search out antiques tofill the place. But after her firstshopping trip, she realized itwas a much bigger task thanshe had time to do while run-ning the business and keepingthe menu updated.

She went to a trade showin Chicago and a large letterR called her to the back ofthe room, where she met thepeople from Biggar Antiquesin Georgia, which specializesin antiques, props and restau-rant decor. She hired them andleases the items that changewith the season.

It wasn’t just the decor Ro-mines thought needed to stayup-to-date to remain a destina-tion for travelers rolling down

Interstate 80. She knew she hadto keep current with the foodas well. The days of the Chuck,Wagon’s limited menu of roastbeef, fried chicken or a ham-burger were gone, just like the10-cent coffee they served.

In 1987, when she expand-ed the restaurant, she also ex-panded the menu. She did soby going out to eat at differentrestaurants throughout theChicago area and bringing theideas back to Morris.

“We started saving timeas the Internet grew, and wecould research food ideas on-line,” she said. “We had newspecials, new things and newdrinks, but we kept the com-fort food. We offered a truck-er’s special, which would beone main dish like lasagna orcasserole. It was cheap and alot of food.”

Greg Lefler, an over theroad truck driver who runsout of Phoenix, has family inPontiac, so he likes to make thetrip north often. When he does,he said he stops at R-Place.

“The food is awesome. It’sdifferent than a lot of places,”he said after finishing his potpie. “It’s obviously not just myopinion if they got number fiveon the list.”

He said he also likes thatit’s often times the same serv-er waiting on him each time hecomes through.

R-Placemakes top 10 truck stop list

Illinois Comptroller JudyBaar Topinka died earlyWednesday of complicationsfrom a stroke suffered Tues-day, according to spokesmanBrad Hahn.

Topinka was 70 years old.Topinka, of Riverside,

served as state comptroller forfour years and was re-electedin November for a second four-year term.

Topinka went to MacNealHospital in Berwyn on Tues-day morning after feeling dis-comfort, according to a newsrelease from her office. Sheunderwent testing for a possi-ble stroke and was under ob-servation Wednesday morningwhen she lost consciousness.She was pronounced deadshortly after 2 a.m.

Topinka held a long and sto-ried career as an Illinois pol-itician.

She served as state treasur-

er from 1995 to 2007 and be-came the first Illinois treasur-er to serve three terms.

She ran for governor in 2006and became the state’s first fe-male Republican nominee forthe seat.

She lost the governor’s racebut quickly bounced back intoIllinois politics when she won

the comptroller’s seat in 2010.With that win, she became thefirst woman in state historyto be elected to two Constitu-tional offices, according to thecomptroller’s website.

State Sen. Sue Rezin,R-Morris, said Topinka “pavedthe way for women to enterpolitics.”

“Her personality lit up anyroom she walked into. Shetold you how it is. She neversugar-coated anything. Peopleappreciated that,” Rezin saidin a statement. “Her ability toreach across the aisle to getthings done, while keeping thebest interest of the taxpayersalways on her mind, is a modelfor what public service shouldbe.”

State Sen. Pat McGuire,D-Joliet, said a “bright lighthas gone out in Illinois” withthe comptroller’s death.

“Judy Baar Topinka wasfair, she was responsible, andshe was fun. I will miss her,”McGuire said in a statement.

Bronco Bojovic of Morrissaid his life was changed whenTopinka visited his sixth-

grade class at Irving School inBerwyn shortly after she wasfirst elected state representa-tive.

“She was like a magnet.Good vibes were always com-ing out of her. She was oneof the people and she showedwhat a politician is supposedto be,” Bojovic said.

He recalled Topinka re-mained approachable as anelected official – remaining aregular presence at neighbor-hood estate, and garage saleswhile clutching a cup of cof-fee.

Bojovic later served as acoordinator for Topinka’s 2006campaign when he moved toGrundy County.

MORRIS – With officialapproval by the full GrundyCounty Board, the county canpay down some of its debt frombonds issued in 2008.

Members of the FinanceCommittee previously ap-proved an amendment to aresolution that requires ref-erendum approval for countyprojects using Public Build-ing Commission bond financ-ing.

The amendment allows thecounty to refinance bonds and

was approved by the full coun-ty board Tuesday.

The approval will allow thecounty to make a one-time pay-ment of $1.65 million and willreduce the county’s interestpayments by $1.3 million, saidJohn Galloway, chairman ofthe Finance Committee.

“This is going to reduce thelife of the bond by two years. Iview it as a good thing,” Gal-loway said at the board meet-ing. “The future County Boardneeds to make sure they don’ttake that additional money forbonds and spend it. We’re pay-ing a lot of debt.”

County Board ChairmanDavid Welter said the amend-ment will help reduce balloonpayments.

Even with a unanimousvote for the amendment, boardmember Frank Halpin had hisdoubts about the bond repay-ment.

“It seems ironic to go outfor $3.6 million less than 15months ago and now we’re go-ing to take out $1.6 million,”Halpin said at the meeting.“How do we view that as help-ing taxpayers today?”

Halpin is referring to bondstaken out in the summer of

2013 to continue the county’sself-insurance program, so itcan provide its own liabilityand worker’s compensationinsurance.

Bonds issued in 2008 wereused for various county proj-ects, such as the construction

of a facility for the HighwayDepartment, renovations tothe Grundy County Court-house, construction of a newfacility for the Animal ControlDepartment, the constructionof a parking lot and a new 911center.

After her most recent win

for a second term as comptrol-

ler, Topinka credited being

elected in the close race due to

her particular brand of straight

talk and her local roots.

“I think they think I’m

straight talking – one of them

– I haven’t forgotten where

I came from,” Topinka said.

“They feel a familial relation-

ship. And I like that. I’ve come

up the hard way.”

A lifelong resident of River-

side, Topinka attended North-

western University’s Medill

School of Journalism and grad-

uated with a degree in journal-

ism in 1966. She worked as a re-

spected journalist for 11 years

for area community newspa-

pers.

“In the 47 years we’ve beenhere, we’ve only had four gen-eral managers. Our currentmanager Carrie [Coughlin] is

the first woman general man-ager and she is doing a greatjob,” Romines said.

Coughlin moved her wayup from managing the restau-rant’s bakery to being the gen-eral manager.

She said she enjoys beingthere and meeting all the peo-ple who travel through and thelooks on their face as they seeall the antiques.

Saratoga School characterprogram recognizes students

Page 11: MDH-12-11-2014

“How can a scared, pregnant

student, one probably racked

with anxiety and facing a totally

unplanned situation, find the

resources and support she needs

to parent her child and continue

her education?”

Kristan Hawkins both asks

and answers the question. She’s

the energetic young president of

Students for Life of America. In

her mind, abortion needs to be

unthinkable. How does such a par-

adigm shift happen in a country

where abortion has been legal for

more than four decades?

Her group has just launched a

“Pregnant on Campus” initiative.

The goal is to connect pregnant

students with resources and

support to help them get through

school while being true parents to

their children.

From her near-decade’s work

with college students, Hawkins

knows that there are existing

resources on many campuses, but

the students who need to know

about them often don’t.

“By educating pregnant stu-

dents and those who care about

them ... about the many resources

they can use, a huge burden can

be lifted from their shoulders,”

Hawkins explains. “They can

start to prepare for the future and

finish their education.”

Pregnant on Campus groups

will hold baby showers and diaper

drives for expectant mothers on

their campuses. They volunteer

at local pregnancy help centers

and help usher pregnant women

through paperwork and bureau-

cracy. “This is one of the best

programs we have ever started,”

Hawkins asserts, “because it helps

pregnant students in very tangible

and practical ways and shows the

college campus that the pro-life

movement is very much pro-wom-

an.”

A young woman “should never

have to choose between her edu-

cation and her child,” Hawkins

tells me. But that’s absolutely the

predominant message a pregnant

college student hears. “Often,

the message she sees is ‘have an

abortion or drop out of school.’ ”

It’s a false choice. “For her and

her child’s future and well-being,

our goal should be to make sure

she graduates school,” Hawkins

says, adding that “a child born

into poverty is seven times more

likely to live in poverty his or her

whole life.”

If people see that going to col-

lege and raising a child is doable,

life happens and death ceases.

No young woman should have to

choose to deny her motherhood,

deny her child life. She doesn’t

have to. She needs to see this. This

is true both on and off campus.

11OPINIONOUR VIEW

Topinka unquestionablydedicated to public service

Before she was a politician, Judy Baar Topinka wasan award-winning journalist.

Topinka, 70, died early Wednesday, less than a dayafter she suffered a stroke. She was the first woman in Il-linois to serve in two state constitutional offices. She hadjust won re-election in November as state comptroller.

Topinka served the public as a journalist before de-voting her life to public service as an elected official.

She attended Northwestern University’s MedillSchool of Journalism and graduated in 1966. Aftergraduation she worked part time for the Berwyn, Ciceroand Stickney-Forest View Life Newspapers before beinghired full time in 1971. In her journalism career, Topinkawas a reporter, education editor, feature writer, featureeditor and photographer. She won awards from theIllinois Women’s Press Association, the Illinois PressAssociation and the Illinois State Medical Society.

Topinka, a Republican, morphed into one of the mostoutspoken politicians in Illinois and was a trailblazer forwomen in politics.

“She was a professional public servant,” said stateSen. Pamela Althoff, R-McHenry. “From the perspectiveof the Republican Party, she was a woman that spokeher mind, said what everyone wanted to say but wastoo afraid to say. It’s a significant loss, and we will missher.”

Topinka, a lifelong Riverside resident, won election tothe Illinois House in 1980. She moved to the state Senatein 1984. Ten years later, she was elected to the first of herthree terms as state treasurer. In 2006, she unsuccessful-ly ran against Rod Blagojevich for Illinois governor. Shereturned to public office in 2010, when she was electedstate comptroller.

During her gubernatorial bid in 2006, Topinkadescribed Illinois as “a miraculously wonderful place tolive.” But she also believed it was being hurt and abusedby those in office, which is why she decided to run forgovernor.

“If I don’t stop it, I’d be complicit in watching it godown the tubes, and I don’t want to do that,” Topinkasaid.

In every stop along the way, Topinka had one thingin mind: Making Illinois a great place to live. Her stylemight have been considered unorthodox. Her personal-ity might have been off-putting to some. But her dedica-tion to Illinois and public service can’t be questioned.

MORRIS – For fans of late-game comebacks, the Morrisgirls basketball team’s 54-52win Tuesday over Yorkvillewas made just for you.

This one had it all, andthen some. I mean, how oftendo you see a player that hasfouled out make the winningshot? Confused? Keep reading.

First of all, the Redskinshad to rally from a 13-pointdeficit early in the fourthquarter. They entered theperiod trailing 46-38, butYorkville scored the firstfive points of the period on abasket and 3-pointer, seem-ingly setting the previouslyunbeaten Foxes on their wayto another victory.

Even when Julie Jurasitsconverted an old-fashionedthree-point play with 4:26 toplay that pulled Morris towithin 10, most Redskin fanswould have been content withmaking the game close. Butthen, because of some tightMorris defense, Yorkvillewasn’t able to score again.

And Morris started to.Leona Burton made a shot

with 3:24 left to make it, 51-43,and Mya Shannon dribbleddown the lane for a bucketwith 2:31 left. Burton wascalled for a foul on the defen-sive end, which was her fifth,and she went to the bench.

More on that later.With 48.3 seconds left, Shan-

non made a 3-pointer to cut theYorkville lead to, 51-48. After aMorris timeout, Yorkville trieda long pass down the court,but it sailed over the intendedplayer’s head and went out ofbounds, giving Morris the ball.Jurasits was fouled and madeboth free throws to pull Morriswithin 51-50. Yorkville’sAudrey Macciomei was fouledand made one of her two freethrows. Morris’ Jessica Jurak

was fouled shooting a 3-point-er, and it looked like it wasYorkville’s Katie Nolan’s fifthfoul.

However, there was con-fusion at the scorers’ table,and it was ruled it was onlyNolan’s fourth foul and shecould stay in the game.

Also, during the officials’meeting at the table, Morriscoach Kate Carey came oversaid she thought Burton’s fifth

foul was actually called onRylie Harr. The officials dis-cussed that and agreed withher, allowing Burton to comeback in the game.

After that, Jurak madeone of her three free throwsto make it, 52-51. Yorkville’sMacciomei was fouled andmissed both free throws.

Shannon rebounded andbrought the ball up the courtand found Burton on the right

wing. Burton then banked ina 3-pointer with 3.9 secondsleft and, all that was missingwas Al Michaels asking if youbelieved in miracles.

“That was amazing,”Burton said about going frombeing fouled out to makingthe game-winning shot. “I wasscared when they told me Ifouled out that I wasn’t goingto be able to help the team, soit was awesome that I got to go

back in and make the last shot.”Now, after going winless

in the Northern Illinois Big12 East the past two seasons,Morris owns a 2-0 record inleague play with wins overKaneland and Yorkville.For Carey, it’s a heck of a lotbetter to see the zero on theright-hand side of the recordthan the left.

Page 13: MDH-12-11-2014

“My heart’s still racing,”

she said even after talking

with the team in the locker

room. “That whole fourth

quarter, we kept chipping

away. This should help our

confidence. Actually, there is

a world of difference confi-

dence-wise with our players

this year. Take Emily Burl-

ing. She made a 3-pointer ear-

ly tonight, and she made one

Saturday against Minooka.

Last year, she wouldn’t have

even thought of attempting

that shot. Now, she’s taking

them and making them.

“And Leona plays so hard

that sometimes foul trouble

is going to come with it. But,

I will take a girl that plays as

hard as she does any day.”

Every Morris player who

saw the floor scored for the

Redskins, who improved to

6-2 overall. Shannon led the

team with 13 points, while

Burton had nine, Jurasits

had eight, Jurak seven, Harr,

Burling and Jessica Ponce

four and Meghan Smith and

Kayla Cryder each had two.

“Everyone contributed

tonight,” Carey said. “Ry-

lie Harr came in and gave

us some good defense, and

Meghan Smith did a good job

on defense, too. Their big girl

[Nolan, who finished with 19

points and 16 rebounds] was

tough, and she did a lot of

damage in the first half. But

Meghan did a good job on her

when she was in there.

“We put a little more pres-

sure on them in the second

half with our defense, and

that forced them to panic a

little bit and turn it over a

few times. Then, we were

able to take advantage with

our offense and cut into their

lead.”

And that set the stage for

some of the wildest final min-

utes of a basketball game you

will ever see.

The drive from Green Bay

to Chicago is pleasant enough,

just about three hours and

short enough to go nonstop,

but long enough to let your

mind wander to what might

have been, or perhaps should

be.

I was there Monday night

for the Packers vs. Falcons

game and, as I replayed it

in my mind in the car, I was

struck by the strange simi-

larities and huge differences

between the Falcons and the

Bears.

Remember when they met

in Week 6 and the Bears had

their only quality 60-minute

performance of the year, hand-

ing the Falcons a convincing

27-13 defeat?

That was when fans still

hoped the Bears were moving

in the right direction.

Where are these two clubs

now?

Both teams have $100

million quarterbacks in Matt

Ryan and Jay Cutler. One of

the great debates to begin this

season was over which was the

best pair of starting wideouts

in the NFL, Brandon Marshall

and Alshon Jeffery or Julio

Jones and Roddy White.

The Bears get a clear edge

at running back with Matt

Forte over Steven Jackson and

at tight end with Martellus

Bennett over Levine Toilo-

lo. Both offensive lines are

banged up, although the Fal-

cons much more so than the

Bears, and both are average to

below average.

On defense, the Falcons

figured to struggle. The Bears

were supposed to be improved.

Yet both groups have

struggled mightily. Both defen-

sive lines are populated with

overpriced, under-performing

veterans. Both teams have

athletes rather than football

players at linebacker, and the

Falcons are a little better in

the secondary with first-round

picks William Moore and Des-

mond Trufant.

Each is a 5-8 team, although

the Falcons are in first place

in the woeful NFC South while

the Bears are in the basement

of the much stronger NFC

North.

Are the Falcons a much

different 5-8 than the Bears?

When the Bears went to

Lambeau in Week 9, they ba-

sically failed to show up. They

fell behind, 14-0, in the first

half and then gave up 28 more

points in a comical second

quarter to trail 42-0 at the half.

It left the Packers laughing at

them on the sideline.

Rather than come back and

fight, the Bears mailed in the

second half, scoring only on a

fluky 45-yard pass from Cutler

to Marshall halfway through

the third quarter, and a 101-

yard kickoff return from Chris

Williams in the fourth quarter

after the Packers had made the

score 55-7.

The Falcons struggled

similarly to the Bears early

Monday night, falling behind,

31-7, at the half after Green

Bay scored on every posses-

sion it had in the half.

But, unlike the Bears, the

Falcons chose to come out

and fight in the second half,

closing the score to 43-37 with

2:11 remaining and still in pos-

session of all three timeouts.

Atlanta was one defensive stop

away from getting the ball

back with about 1:50 to play

and a chance to win.

The Bears would appear to

be the more talented team, al-

though Ryan and Jones clearly

are superior at this stage of

their careers to Cutler and

Marshall or Jeffery.

Ryan and Jones were

brilliant in Green Bay, Cutler

and Marshall were ... in Green

Bay.

Falcons coach Mike Smith

is rumored to be in serious

jeopardy of losing his job

mainly because of serious

lapses in game management,

even though he is the most

successful coach in Falcons

history and they were the No.

1 seed in the NFC in 2010 and

2012.

Yet in Lambeau, one team

competed and one didn’t, and

the Falcons were so much

better coached than the Bears

it’s beyond comparison.

Right now, the Falcons are

a far superior 5-8 team than

the Bears, and folks might not

be laughing if they win a home

playoff game. The club that

showed up in the second half

in Green Bay just might.

And the Bears appear to be

resisting change why?

For some Bears veterans whohave been on losing teams, thisis not unfamiliar territory to geteliminated from playoff contentionwith three weeks to go.For the 16 rookies currently on

the Bears’ 53-man roster, this isanother learning experience to lifeas a pro.Third-round defensive tackle Will

Sutton remembers the last time hewas on a losing team, his freshmanyear at Arizona State, when the SunDevils went 4-8. Sutton describedwhat he can take from that seasonwith the Bears at 5-8.“[For some players], it’s hard

to keep going knowing that yourseason is done after your lastgame, but if you want to be thebest, if you want to be one ofthe best, you can’t look at it thatway,” he said. “You’ve got to lookat it and say, ‘we’ve still got a

game this week. We’ve got to goout there and compete. We don’twant to go out there and getembarrassed,’ so got to play withpride.”Sutton has seen extra snaps

because of Jeremiah Ratliff’s kneeinjury. Ratliff has missed five gamesand this season, and Sutton hasplayed in 48.7 percent of defensivesnaps. Even when Ratliff is healthy,Sutton is sure to keep getting op-portunities in the final three games.“There’s always room for im-

provement,” he said. “So far, I don’twant to say satisfied, but I feel like,coming in, looking back, I felt likeI’ve done my role, done what I’vebeen coached to do. Three moreweeks left, I feel like I can get betterin the next three weeks.”Sutton said he is always learning

from Ratliff, along with defensiveline coach Paul Pasqualoni – “He’s

going to coach his [butt] off. He’snot going to let us slack.”Bears coach Marc Trestman

has continued to emphasize hisone-week-seasons approach tokeep his players focused on thetask ahead. He said it’s on some ofthose veterans to show the rook-ies the professionalism to handlethis last stretch of a disappointingseason.“We expect the guys that have

been around to lead the way in thatregard. I think they’re doing that,”he said. “And to show them what itis to be a professional on a daily ba-sis, not just when things are goingyour way, but when they’re not.”Sutton has 21 tackles, two for a

loss and two passes defensed in his13 games.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Vannevar Bush, an innovativescientist who, inter alia, was head ofthe U.S. Office of Scientific Researchand Development during World WarII and founded Raytheon, said, “Fearcannot be banished, but it can be calmand without panic; it can be mitigatedby reason and evaluation.”

At the bridge table, it helps tobe thinking calmly, evaluating theevidence, and working out the bestbids and plays.

In this deal, look at the South hand.He opens one spade, his partner raisesto two spades and East overcalls threediamonds. What should South do now?

With the known nine- or 10-cardspade fit, South may add shortagepoints: one for each of his doubletons.So, since his hand is worth 18 points,he should jump to four spades. (TheLosing Trick Count also evaluates theSouth hand as worth a jump to game.The curious may go to my website:www.phillipalderbridge.com.)

West leads the diamond three.East wins with his queen, cashes thediamond ace and shifts to the heartnine. West takes South’s king with hisace and returns the heart jack. Afterwinning with his queen, how shouldSouth continue?

Declarer has four losers: twoin each red suit. He has only ninewinners: six spades, one heart and twoclubs. He must gain a third club trickby establishing dummy’s fifth card.

The right line is to cash the spadeace and club ace, play a club to dum-my’s king and ruff a club high in hand.Back to dummy with a spade to the 10,declarer ruffs another club high, leadsa spade to dummy’s king and cashesthe club six, on which he discards theheart five.

Good biddingmay

need good play

Dear Doctor K: I’m a womanin my late 40s, and I have mildbut aggravating neck painthat flares up from time totime.

Can you suggest simplechanges I can make at homeand at work that might help?

Dear Reader: There are manythings you can do to minimizeyour risk of recurring neckpain.

Start by keeping your neckin a neutral position whetheryou are sitting or standing.

That means your headshould balance directly overyour spine and not lean for-ward or be cocked to one side.

Here are some more tips:• At the computer or desk,

keep your head balanceddirectly over your spine as

much as possible.Set your chair height so

both your feet can rest on theground, and sit with yourbuttocks far back in yourchair, using a small pillow tosupport your lower back ifneeded.

That’s what I’m doing as Iwrite this column at my deskat home. But it wasn’t alwaysthat way.

Until recently, when Iworked at home, I used mylightweight computer withits small screen. That smallscreen, plus my aging eyes,

caused me to bend forwarda lot to read what was on thescreen.

When I told my wife thatmy neck was hurting, shesaid: “I think it’s because youdon’t use a big flat screen athome like you do at work.You’re hunched over a lot.”

Bingo! I got a good-sizedhome flat screen. The screensits directly in front of me sothat I can see it without tiltingmy head down or back. Nomore neck pain.

Also, when you’re workingat your computer or doing anytype of desk work, get up andmove around every half-hour.(I’ve put a detailed illustrationof proper desk posture on mywebsite, AskDoctorK.com.)

• When using a telephone,

a headset, earbuds or speak-erphone are good optionsto help keep your head in aneutral position for hands-free talking. Headsets areavailable for both your deskphone and cellphone.

• If you are sitting in achair while reading, maintainan upright posture. Hold thebook so you don’t have to leandown or forward to see it.

• Avoid wearing high heels,which change the alignmentof your entire body and stressneck muscles.

• Choose a lightweightpurse or backpack, and don’toverload it. Use a backpackdesigned to put weight onyour hips instead of just yourupper back, and don’t slingit over one shoulder. With

heavier loads, use a wheeledpack or briefcase. If you mustuse a shoulder purse, alter-nate which shoulder you use.

• If you drive long distanc-es, periodic breaks can help toreduce or prevent neck strain.

• Sit far enough from a TVor movie screen that you canwatch without tilting yourhead back. Don’t sit off to theside, which forces you to turnyour neck for long periods.

If you follow these simplesuggestions, your neck painshould be considerably re-duced, or even disappear.

• Write to Doctor K ataskdoctork.com, or write:Ask Doctor K, 10 ShattuckSt., Second Floor, Boston, MA02115.

Keeping your neck in neutral position should elminate pain
