None injur inNues accident

Shermer Park will be conveyedto Chicago Jewish FederationNues Parks, Federation working on conditionsfor transferBY ANDREW SCHNEIDEReditor@buglenewspapers.com

TheNiles Park Board has

tentatively agreed with theJewish Federation of

Metropolitan Chicago to transferShermer Park to them based onwhat Park Director Joe LoVerdecalled "adequate" evidence thatthere were burials on the site,which neighbors a JewishCemetery.

"There is a possibility thatthere are remains on the site," hesaid.

The Park District decided tosell Shermer Park last year anduse the proceeds to fund improve-ments in other parks. The Park,located between Hamilton Driveand Wright Tenace on ShermerRoad was considered mostlyunusable for the Park Districtbecause it's only about a 50 feetwide but over 200 feet deep. lt'salso too close to residential prop-erty for programming.

After deciding to sell it, theJewish Federation approached thePark District, saying they had cvi-dence that the site had been used

for burials, like the neighboringKehilath Jacob Anshe DrohiczenCemetery, originally owned bythe Congregation Keheleth Jacob,founded in 1890 by Russianimmigrants.

Among the evidence theFederation presented to the ParkBoard were plats of survey, mm-utes from Federation Board meet-ings and evidence of headstoneson the site, some of them werereported by The Bugle.

"There's no clear indicationthat 'X' marks the spot, there aregraves here," LoVerde said. "Butthe evidence was persùasive."

The Federation's evidence waspresented to the Park Board inexecutive session last Tuesdayand was convincing enough forthem to agree to transfer the prop-erty to the Federation, with someconditions

"The Federation is going tohave to cover closing fees and theplat of survey," said LoVerde."We have to be sure that the sitewill not be used for more burialseither."

Among other conditions wouldbe an agreement regarding land-

scaping and maintenance, notifi-cation if there will be any specialservices and some measure ofconsideration for the neighboringhomeowners, some ofwhom mayhave built their fences into theShermer Park property over theyears.

"There's going to have to besome consideration for the neigh-bors," LoVerde said.

The covenant for the propertyis expected to be agreed uponwithin 30 days. 1f it is, the ParkBoard will be able to vote to con-vey the property st the June meet-ing.

"The Federation was very pro-fessional with their presentationand demonstrated a genuine con-cem which we respected through-out the process," LoVerde said.

As to the future of the Park,which was acquired by the ParkDistrict in the l970s, LoVerdesaid the Federation intends toextend an existing chain linkfence on the neighboring cerne-tery in order to insure that no onewalks over gravesites, an actionthat is disrespectfisl according tosome Jewish traditions.

The April "Blood Feud"between Park Ridge and DesPlaines, as one newspaper calledit, resulted in a total of 163 unitsof blood being donated. Sinceeach unit can save as many asthree people, doing the mathwould suggest lo us that therewere nearly 500 "winners" interms of lives being saved.When the total number of cityemployees was factored in, theemployees of Des Plaines beatthe Park Ridge workers by a mere.3 percent.

Letters tothe Editor

LoVerde lost, but sodid NUes residents

Dear Editor,

As many ofyou know, there wasan election in Nues last month. Forfar too many years, our villagetrustees ran unopposed, that wouldnot be the case this year. JoeLoVerde was one of those candi-dates who worked veiy hard tohave his name placed on the ballot.Joe is the candidate I endorsed formany reasons, he's honest, loyal,unselfish and more dedicated tothis village and its people thansome of you even realize.

I felt the need to write this letterbecause I was very disappointedwith some of the tactics that \vereused during this election. I haveresìded in Niles for twenty-eightyears and I myself have beeninvolved in this community voltio-teering my time to the schools,churches and the various organiza-timis that help children, seniorsand the less fortunate. l've beeninvolved since the first year wemoved here. Niles is a communitythat I have a lot ofpassìOn for. JoeLoVerde has that same passion forthis town and its people. He has agreat family and is very devoted tothem. He is a man who speaksfrom the heart. There are no hiddenagendas. He is a team player andhis first priority is Niles and every-one who lives here. lt's not hard tocheck out all of his accomplish-ments, there many.

My letter is not directed atMayor Blase. I have supported themayor for as long as I have livedhere. I have been involved in manyelections. My anger. disappoint-lient and frustration is with a cou-

pie of the village trustees. Theyook credit for accomplishmentshey had nothing to do with as well

COMMENTARYas twisting the words and state-ments of Joe LoVerde. They evenused scare tactics which sadlyworked on a lot of our seniors. iwas actually present at severalfunctions where these false state-ments were made and I wasshocked, thinking "politicians playduty in other places, but not inNiles, this can't be happening inour great community," but I wasand it did.

I kept thinking, if the presenttrustees did so much for this town,why the need to twist other candi-dates statements or use scare tac-tics to gain votes, couldn't they justrun on their reputations? I guessnot, obviously, they were runningscared.

i have to wonder how many res-idents reallychecked out all of thecandidates and their accomplish-menta. Was it important to you tofind out if statements made weretrue or false, or did you simplyvote for a candidate because some-one else asked you to? I was at thepolis that day for twelve boum,some voters thoughy that Joe wasrunning for mayor, others thoughthe was going to charge residentsfor the free bus service (a state-ment that was never made) and Ican honestly tell you, residents didbelieve the rumors and false state-ments and for that reason, JoeLoVerde did lose. But in my opin-ion, it was the residents who lostthat day.

Electorate will nottolerate 'businessas usual'

Dear Editor,

On the evening of May 9, 2005the Village of Morton Grovepassed a milestone. For the firsttime in almost three decades, thecontrol of' village government wastransferred to the hands ofa differ-

cnt political party as the result of ahard-fought and sometimes con-tenüous election campaign. Butnow the candidate's signs aredown, the speeches are over andthe business of governing is a real-it)

Ifthere is one lesson to be takenfrom the recent election campaign,it is that the citizens of MortonGrove have, loudly and clearly,voted for change.

The victorious new Mayor,Clerk and Trustees have manyissues facing them now as electedofficials that demand real-worldsolutions, not political puffery.

What will they do about thewaste collection contract and theirpromise to lower the cost? Howwill they balance the fiscal needsof running the government againstgranting relief to financially over-burdened and over-taxed home-owners? Where will they begin tomake village government moreopen and accessable to its citizens?

When will we see movement onaffordable senior housing and theDempster street corridor?The issues of Groot; the gas salestax; the fast-food sales tax sur-charge; attempted governmentseizure of private property in TIFdistricts; alleged conflicts of inter-est by public servants; affordablesenior housing and equal enforce-ment of village laws and ordi-nances are all matters that the newKrier administration must addresssubstantively. Half-measures andcosmetic political white-wash willnot be tolerated by an electoratethat demands real answers and realsolutions.

The Krier administration has seunprecidented opportunity tochange the direction, attitude andpeception of Morton Grove, notonly now, but for years to come. ltis an opportunity that s brimmingwith possibilities but fraught withchallenges. lt would be weil tonote that the Chinese character for"opportunity " is the same charac-ter used for "danger".

lt's almost June a popular month for weddings. Ifyou're planning to marry next month, you've got a lotof things to think about: guests, flowers, the honey-moon, etc. However theres one factor you won't wantto overlook: how you will hantliefinances os a couple.It may not be as much fun to talk about as, say. thefood at your reception. But as your marriage progress-es, it will befar more impoitant.

In fact, financial troubles are often cited as one ofthe leading causes of divôrce. And, as you go throughlife, you'll find that you can't prevent every type offinancial woe, such as ajob loss, an unexpected med-ical bill, and so on. But them's a lot you can control -if you work together.

Before the Wedding Open the BooksBefore you get married, you should already know

your paitner's temperament, likes and favorite activi-ties. But do you know how much money he or shemakes? How about debt? How large are his or her debtpayments each month? What amount of savings willyour future spouse bring into the marriage?

lt may feel strange to talk about these issues beforeyou "tie the knot." But it will be a valuable conversa-tion. Try to conduct it when you both have plenty oftimeand aren't stressed out over wedding plans orother issues. And don't keep any secrets: Bring out allsources of income, debts, savings and investmentseverything you both will bring into the marriage. Onceyou're married, neither ofyou should be surprised atwhat the other owns or owes.

long-lasting financial decisions. Here are two to con-sider:

. Checking accounts - Should you maintain ajoint checking account, two separate accounts or a jointaccount plus individual accounts? There's really no oneright answer for everyone. You might want to use ajoint checkbook to pay the mortgage, utilities, car pay-ment and other major expenses that you incur together,while keeping individual accounts to pay for personalexpenses or purchases. However, if you do keep a jointaccount, you.should both agree on what it's to be usedfor, and how much you will each contribute to it.

. Investment goals - Talk about those goals forwhich you'llwan( to invest, such as a house or a upe-cific retirement lifestyle. If you have children, you maywant to save for college. In any case, once you knowwhat you're saving for, you'll be able to establishappropriate investment strategies, possibly with thehelp ofa financial professional. Keep in mind that youand your spouse may have different tendencies thatis, you might favor aggressive investments, while yourspouse may be mom conservative. You'll need to reachsome common ground if you're going to invest maway that will satisfy both of you.

Communication Is KeyUltimately, the biggest faclor behisd your financial

success as a couple isn't how much you make or howsmartly you tnvest orhow cleveity you manage yourmoney - it's how well you commuuicste. If you'realways on the same page, your stbry wtll be muetsmore likely a happy ending.After the Weddings Chart Your Course

Overthe years, studies have

.thoroughly researchedand exhaustively footnol-

ed what mosl of us already know.Americans typically don't startseriously thinking about savingfor retirement unlil they neartheir own midcentury mark.

After sttoozing for decades, ourmiddle-aged Rip Van Winklessuddenly awake vitls a jolt to secthe finangial equivalent ofa fullyloaded pallet of cinder blocksheading right toward theni. Thatoften gels their attention.

What can happen mcxl is tise

really ugly part.The savings slackers may ulti-

matcly fitsd themselves pull ngthe equivalent of a college ali-fighter for the rest of their work-ing lives in an attempt to finan-cially prepare for the day whenthe paychecks stop.

If you're stili young, there is asimple way to avoid this unpieas-anlness. Save early and get it overwith. And then, if you want, youcan slack off. In fact, ifyou investearly and tises stop altogether,chances are you'll be financiallybetter off than your friends. whomay ultimately work themselvesinto a full-blown money panic.

Of courue, the best strategy isto save early and contribute regu-larty to retirement accounts. tuchas 40l(k)s and IndividualRetirement Accounts, and eontin-ue that habit for decades.

But for those who find that tooonerous, the early-bird approachcan work. If you're skeptical,here's an example of what I'mtalking about:

Suppose a 25-year-old decidesto save $5,000 a year for retire-ment for IO years. After savingnearly $ I 00 a week for a.decadefor a total of $50,000, ourinvestor calls it quits.

She doesn't dump any morecash into the account, but shedoes not withdraw any, either.Left alone, the portfolio, jfk gen-crated an annual IO percentreturn, would mushroom to $1.4million by the time she hits 65years of age.

Not bad for just IO years ofsacrifice.

Now let's examinè the fiscalfate of someone who doesn't rollout ofbed until the age of35. OurGen X-er starts taving $5,000 ayear, but admirably this guy stayscoimnitted for longer.

Instead of feeding the retire-ment kitty for IO years and bail-ing, he maintains the routine for

30 years. After three decades, oureamest saver will have chipped in$150,000. At this point, yomt'reprobably thinking that titis guystarted later, but certainly fits-ished stronger than the 25-yearold.

Of course, if that were trise, ilwould make tisis column lessinteresting. Actually, the portfol ioof our more energetic saver,assuming the sanie rotc of s'duro.would ultimately grow lo$820,000. That ending balance is40 percent less thstts the portibliooftlse woman svito bailed eas'i>

Things start rcsembiiisg thecrash scciscs captured n driver'scd movies when you look at thefallout from baby hootsìcr pro-crastilsation.

If hootisers waited until age 45to launch tiscir retireflseflt-S"mitgaassattll. they'd have to save$24,000 a year i'or two decades locatch up ivitli tise crncicsst 25-year-old.

But that's not as bad as tise stiv-ings ibrtitude that somebody svisobegan saving at age 55 wouldsiced. l'lc'd have to save S87,000a year for a decade to amass S I .4

million. How many people canfind a spare $87,000 iii theirhousehold budget?

The reason why it's better losave early can be summed upwith two words: compound inter-est. So marvelous is its financialforce that legend has it that AlbertEinstein once called compoundinterest the most powerflil forcein the universe.

Thanks to compounding, theretums on your savings are con-sistently plowed back, makingthe principal bigger and therebyproducing a snowball effect onthe portfolio, Essentially, there'sa logarithmic expansion thattakes place.

Without getting into the math,compounding lets a portfoliogrow just as a seedling would. Ifa seedling grows 10 percent, itadds barely an ounce of weight.I3ut'years later, as a giant oak IOpercent growth may yield a ton ofnew wood.

Compounding can be hard toappreciate because people tend tothink in terms oflinear growth (2,3, 4, 5), nOt the geometric kindproduced by compounding (2, 4,8, 16). That is, we expect to sec$100 grow by $10 annually overlo years to produce a $100 gain.In contrast, compounding, usinga IO percent annua!ized returnthat is reitivested, produces a$159 gin over IO years.

Ifyon don't have decades to sitoit the sidelines and watch ôom-pouttding do its thing, you snayseed to adjust your investmentstrategy.

y Dame High Schòol in1997, there were only about adozen high school lacrosseteams in Ilinois.

Now, that scum-ber is 50 andGizynski is thecoach of the NotreDame squad.

Notre Dame firstfielded a lacrosseclub three yearsago with 24 play-ers. The followingyear, the numbersof participantsincreased to 30 andthis year 44 playersjoined up forlacrosse.

Dubbed 'thefastest game on twofeet' Gizynski sayslacrosse's fast paceis one of the rea-sons why it isgrowing in popu-larity.

The game is especially popu-lar with hockey, soccer and foot-ball players.

Though the spring NotreDame lacrosse players rest in theshadow of the prolific NotreDame baseball program,lacrosse is catching on fast.

This year, Notre Dame fieldedjunior varsity andfreshman/sophomore teams. TheJV tallied a 7-3 record and the

freshman/sophomore teamcouldn't make it into the wincolumn with an 0-7 record.Gizynski said the lack of victo-ries can be accounted for since itis the first time Notre Dame hasplayed a freshman/sophomoreteam.

Homesickness:What can parents do

Thissummer, millions ofchildren will get their first laste ofindependence at a summer resident camp. Fo

many, il svili also be their first experience with homesickness. But parents don't have to feel heipleswhen homesickness strikes. The prescription for camper homesickness is a simple solution of prepara

tkm and patience.University ofCalifomia Psychologist Chris Thurber studied homesickness in 329 boys between the ages o

t and I 6 at resident camp. According to his results, homesickness is the norm rather than the exception. A whop-PUig 83 percent ofihc campers studied reported homesickness on at least one day of camp.

Thurber and the American Camping Association (ACA) suggest the following tips for parents to help thelchild deal with homesickness at camp:

. Encourage your child's independence throughout the year. Practice separations, such as sleep-overs atfriend's house, can simulate the camp environment. Involve your child in the process of choosing a camp. The more that the child owns the decision, the mor-comfortable the child will feel being at camp. Discuss what camp will be like before your child leaves. Consider role-playinganticipated situations, such ausing a flashlight to find the bathroom. Reach an agreement ahead of time on calling each other. If your child's camp has a no phone calls policyhonor it. Send a note or care package ahead of time to arrive the first day of camp. Acknowledge, in a positive way,that you will miss your child. For example, you can say "I am gotng to miss you, but I know that you will have

a good time at camp.". Don't use bribery. Linking a successful stay at camp to a malerial object sends the wrong message. The reward

should be your child's new found confidence and tndependence. Pack a personal item from home, such as a stuffed animal. When a "rescue call" comes from the child, offer calm reassurance and put the ttme frame into perspective.

Avoid the temptation to lake the child home early. Talk candidly svith the camp director to obtain his/her perspective on your child's adjustment. Don't feel guilty about encouraging your child to stay at camp. For many children, camp is a first step toward

independence and plays an important role in their growth and development

. Trust your instincts. While most incidents ofhomesickness will pass tn a day or two, Thurber's research shows

that approxitsiatcly seven percent ofthe cases are severe. lfyour child is not eating or sleeping because of anx-

iety or depression, it is time to go home. However, don't make your child feel like a failure iftheir stay at camp

is Cut short. Focus on the positive and encourage your child to tiy camp again next year

Keeping in Touch

Many directors encourage their campers to write home regularly to their parents, brothers, and sisters.

Do

. Give your child pre-addressed. statttped envclopes or postcards so that they can keep you informed of camp

activities. Ask the camp director if electronic communications are available for campers' use. so, remind your child

that you can stay connected with hito or her throstgh home e-mail, fax, or the camp's Web site

. Send a note or postcard in advance to the camp so there will be a personalized touch ofhome when your child

arrives, This lets young canapes know tIsaI the liimily has not forgotten them. In your correspondence, assure

the camper that you know he or she is having a good time and express enthusiasm for the camp's activities

Don s

. Although there are benefits in keeping youngsters informed ofwhal's going on at home, don't go into great

detail since the young adventurers might feel they're missing something back home. Directors advise parents

flot to mention how much they tuiss their children or "that the dog and cat miss them."

. Don't worry. Your natural reaction is to call on the first day just about bedtime to see how your camper is

doing. Renienibei counselors are trained to recognize and deal with symptoms of homesickness

. As one experienced camp director noted, "We have few homesick children, but we have homesick parents by

the dozens."

"Snow White andRussian Red," by DorotaMaslowska; Black Cat;304 pages; $13.

A story marked by pni-dence and luciditywouldn't do for 21-year-old Polish sensationDorota Maslowska: Toshowcase this author'sgrasp on language, hercharacters' grasp on real-ity had to suffer. Sex,dregs and the vestiges ofpolish-Russki animosi-ties drive Maslowska'sAndrzej "Nails"Robakoski into madness,his methansphetansine-induced rants rndis-

cernibic from thosebrought on by his pro-gresSiVC psychosis.Meanwhile, Maslowska;revels in slang, puns andfree association, captur-ing both the male per-spectiVe and the ennui of.political burnout withacumen rare in a writer of .so few years.

Nails' descent into his:own personal hell ofaddiction, female rejec-tion and political alien-ation unfolds in a limbo of timeand space. lt's unclear whether theevents that transpire do so within24 frenzied hours or over the spanof seveml weeks, and the Polishcity Nails lives in with his motherand brother remains unnamedthroughout the course of the novel.Anti-Russian zealotry has led the

city govenlnleilt to declare that allhouses be painted the colors of the

Polish lag."l-laif. Half all s'Ititc. Most often

it's half of the houses. And what'son the bottom. on th street, what'snorc ... ObViOUS IS red. Entirely.White-red. From top to bottoni. On

top a Polish 1)111, On the bottomPolish menstruation. On top Polish

snow imported from a Polish sky,

on the bottom the Polish associa-tion of Polish butchers and pig-stickers."

Amid the thai and chaos pro-duced by his city's PatriotAct goneawry, Nails tinds himselfenmeshed in relations with a series

of femmes fatales: Magda, wholeaves him early in the novel;

Angela, a loquacious lost soul with

a fondness for black stockings andbrass knuckles; vengeful Natasha,

on a binge, her own spit serving aspunctuation for her diatribes; and

fmaily Ala, an insufferable prude

whose mere appearance in Nails'hopped-up existence seems

improbable.Artist Krzysztof Ostrowski's

urban illustrations accompany sev-

eral of the vignettes, giving thestory the feel of a graphic novel.And graphic it is: Nails harbors a

juvenile curiosity for tite vu'gar(bodily fluids prove particularlyfascinating to him), and sexbecomes s conquest so fundamen-tal to his being that he refers to hismale organ by pet name.

Nails' madness becomes incom-prehensible by tite novel'send, and

Maslowska's final pages arefrustrating iii their impenetrability.Still, her humor and deft politicalobservations, tis vell as the novel'ssiiiiilaritics to 'Trainspotting." ren-der it a provocative ailifact of agenertition caught between loyalty

to both the state and u profoundsense ol' hatred.

"Small Crimes in an Age ofAbundance," by ìvlatthcw Kneale;

Natì A. miese; 208 pages; 522.Ail public perceptions of pajama-ciad, coffee-sipping bliss notwith-standing, the experience of a bookreviewer is a spotty one at best.Some books are mildly provoca-tive, others bore, most inspire onlya vague sense of ambivalence, like

thumbing numbly through 300pages ofwhite noise. Then there is

the rare book that, like a bolt out ofthe bland blue, electrifies.

Matthew Kneale's "SmallCrimes in the Age of Abundance,"

a collection of 12 exquisitely craft-

ed short stories, is a firecracker inbroad daylight, an out-of-nowherebombshell sure to throw somesparks in the literai)' world.

lt's a testament to Kneale's econ-

omy of thought and language that

each tale is instantly recognizable

by its oite-word title. In "Stone," aBritish family takes the mad less

i .. traveled during ar journey to Hong

Kong to sell jewels,only to find them-selves at odds withtheir basic humanvalues, including the

1right to life.In "Weight," an

obese man takes achance on a gor-geous foreign

. womail and isshocked when she

... .agrees to many him.Yet the man's own

. insecurities begin toweigh heavily ontheir relationship,ultimately miningboth their sense of

. trust and the man's. admiration for his... wit'e's striking beau-

w.in "Sunlight," a

man struggling toestablish his writingcareer so that hemight break theshackles of animbalanced relation-ship convinces hiswealthy girlfriend topurchase a sun-

soaked villa in the Italian countiy-side, where he plans to write abook about their experiences reno-vating the home and living amongthe colorful local people. When thebuilding's renovations stray wildlyfrom the ideal he had imagined, the

man simply re-invents the truth forhis own purposes, literary and oth-

erwise.Kneale's characters are wholly

believable, his plots flawless. Whatmost often preoccupies titisextraordinary author is the sort ofmisidentified banality one encoun-ters 50 often in life, those momen-tous occasions one might only ree-ognize as momentous in retrospect.Travel often factors into these tales- Kneaie's locales include China,Colombia, Africa, Londoii - yet it'sthese characters' journeys outsidethe self that prove the most intrigu-ing. The plots of each story,although separate, overlap in fasci-

nating ways. (The drug andweapons trades seem to be of par-ticular interest to Kneale, who hashimself lived and traveled abroadquite extensively.)

The world, Kneale's stories tellus, may never cease to be a vastexpanse of violence, treason andtreachery, unique only in language,and soon, perhaps not even that.

But in this author's capable hands,even a detour down the wrongalley in a familiar neighborhoodcan shatter sense of self with theforce ofa thousand stones.- Tiffany Lee-Youngren

One of them is exercisephysiologist Joel Stager. The2002 U.S. Masters sprintchamp, Stager wonderedwhy he was performing at apeak level in his early 505 -an age when many of hisjoint-challenged contempo-rarieS were searching for thenearest whirlpool

So, he decided to comparethe physiological agingmarkers of competitiveswimmers with those of thegeneral population.

What he found, in measur-ing such parameters asbloodpressure, muscle mass andpulmonary function, wasthat in swimming 3,500 to5,000 yards three to fivetimes a week, competitivemiddle age swimmers wereoutdistancing Father Time.

Call it anti-aging aerobicsat its apex.

"We're starting to find outthat a lot of the decline (withage) is probably related to adecline in activity ratherthan aging per se," saidStager, who directs IndianaUniversity's CounsilmanCenter for the Science ofSwimming. "The hypothesisis that activity preservesphysiological function."To reach their conclusions,Stager and his research teamfrom Indiana University'sHuman Performance Labperformed a battery of testson 200 swimmers at the2004 U.S. MasterSwimming Championshipin Indianapolis.

Typically, physiologiescapacity declines by one

half percent to I percenteach year beginning aroundthe age of 35. In eliteMasters swimmers, howev-er. the decline in some caseswas being postponed fordecades. Stager said.

The results were so

intriguing that Stager,financed by a grant fromU.S. Masters Swimming, isconducting a follow-upstudy on the relationshipbetween swimming, aging,and muscle mass and fune-tion. He's particularly ínter-ested in the decline of mua-ele mass, which often is

accompanied by reducedrange of motion and qualityof life.

While Stager has beenfocusing on hard-core, high-mileage types, he's quick topoint out that the fitness ben-efits of swimming reach all

levels. "The health and well-being effects start with aminimal amount of swim-ming," Stager said. "If youwant the fitness effect, you'llneed to look at getting yourheart rate up and boostingthe íntensity."

For his part, Stager logsabout 3,000 yards a day fivetimes a week, a little lessthan the typical Masterschampion.In delaying s decline in per-formance, or peaking in mid-die age, swimmers defy thenorm found in virtuallyevery other sport, weight-bearing or otherwise.

Think about it: no pound-ing on the joints, no harshelements to contend with,the therapeutic buoyancy ofwater and the total-bodybenefits.

While other aerobic sportssuch as running and cyclingtighten the muscles andstress the joints, swimming

s tends to enhance joint flexis bility. Its repetitive twisting

movements, as your bodyturns from side to side during the basic crawl stroke

loosens and lubricates the

neck, shoulders, hips andtrunk areas.

The gentle pressure ofwarm Water against yourskin causes blood vessels todilate and enhances bloodcirculation. And, the naturalbuoyancy of water reducesyour land weight by about 90percent, eliminating theforces of gravity and mini-

mizing many joint andmobility issues.

Even asthmatics can exer-cise comfortably in the waterbecause the air around a poolis generally very humid,making breathing more corn-fortable.Yet for all swimming's bene-fits, Wayne L. Westcott,director of South ShoreYMCA in Massachusetts andthe author of "StrengthTraining Past 50," findsmany adults who try thesport are too impatient.

"To make a land activityanalogy, they start out run-ning rather than walking," hesaid.Instead of starting slowingand gradually picking up thepace, they sprint their way toexhaustion, depriving them-selves ofthe aerobic benefitsthat come with prolongedactivity.

To promote aerobic condi-tioning, you should swim forat least 20 minutes continu-ously, varying your pace ifnecessary. Starting out withabout 100 yards a day at adeliberate pace - that's aboutfour pool lengths - willenable most people to reachat least 600 yards (24 poollengths) in six weeks.

Remember, speed is not ofthe essence. Thanks to thebuoyancy of the water, youcan swim very slowly andstill stay atop of the water -and, perhaps, a few poollengths ahead of those typi-cal markers of aging.

General Motors was originallyan automobile manufacturer witha pension plan but now is a pen-sion plan investment companythat sells cars. GM and Ford maydump their pension plans as well.These legal sleight of handmaneuvers are as wrong as theyare tricky. These agreements weremade in good faith and should behonored. Now you and I, as tax-payers, will pay these pensionsthrough the Pension BenefitGuaranty Corporation, the federalagency that sets as a safety net forcorporate pension plans.

Can it get worse? The PBGClast year had a $23.3 billiondeficit. The PBGC may terminatea plan to protect the pension ben-efit guaranty system without acourt hearing. Wow, a deal is adeal. . never?

I-low did all this come about?You may have heard of definedcontribution plans and definedbenefit plans. They may soundlike close cousins, but they arenight & day. Defined contributionplans are plans in which the indi-vidual owns the account individu-ally. Monies are contributed intothe plan per agreement. lt is fund-ed concurrently as you earn. ltcannot be taken away. What youearn is yours to keep at retire-ment.

Defined benefit plans are basedon a formula that guarantees eachparticipant a specified sum permonth payable on retirement. Theformula includes the age, years ofservice and lifetime earnings. lt isnot funded individually. There arelimitations on the distributionsthat include attaining normalretirement age, disability, separa-tion from service, or death. It is apromise to pay in the future. Youdo not own it.

These benefits could be manip-ulated because a future promise

United, GM & You

UnitedAirlines has shed it's pension obligations. A U.S.

Bankruptcy Judge said the settlement does not violate the law

or the unions' agreements. Oh, really?So a deal is a deal, as long as. . those in power want it to be. Sorne

workers said they face a loss of almost half of their pension benefits.United's biggest competitors will likely make similar moves to remain

to pay depends on many factorsand companies manipulated themto their benefit. Of course thebosses took care of themselves,earning millions in guaranteedbenefits and salaries.

Some ofthis may strike you asfamiliar. Social security is adefined benefit plan. You don'town your contributions, nor doyou own your promised benefits.Social security is a lax and goesinto the general revenue fund tobe spent as the "higher-ups" seefit. lt is true that these benefitshave never been cut, but the pro-grain has changed and taxes havebeen increased. Fundamentally,the Social Security fund is andhas been bankrupt for decades.You cannot osve yourself a debtand that is exactly what the pohiti-cians have done. Spend yourretirenlent savings on their boon-doggles. This has kept them elect-ed in the short-run, but all billscome due. There is no such thing55 a free lunch.

You own an individual retire-ment account. Persons aged 55and older will continue to receivetheir expected benefits. Youngerworkers can opt out of the systemand fund their personal retirementaccounts. This is fair and equi-table.

Federal employees alreadyhave the very choices PresidentBush wants to give aU Americanworkers. The federal thrift planboasts avg. returns of 10% peryear. By the end of2003, the planhad $128 billion invested by 3.2million people. State pensionplans across the nation inyest inWall Street. If it's good enoughfor them, then it should be goodenough for my kids, who willface 30% cuts in their SocialSecurity when they retire.

This is a good deal, a fair dealand one that cannot be stolen bylegal contrivance. Individualaccounts are the solution.

As you can see, the film is neu-tral in appearance and virtuallyinvisible. What you will see is awelcome reduction in energy bills- more than half of home energybills go to pay for heat loss andgain through glass.

These films have to be appliedby a professional, and costbetween $4 and $10, depending onwhere you live. But after that,you'll save both energy and yourfurnishings.Q: We love the new ceramic tilefloors we just installed allthrough the downstairs 01 ourhome. They're cool - to look atand walk on - but not to keepclean. I read the column whenyou were "preaching" about theimportance of good housekeep-

ing to good decorating.Any professional secrets

about cleaning these?A: I did "preach," didn't I! But noapologies: it is so true that any-thing of beauty can be a joy for-ever, as long as you keep it pol-ished, swept, washed and shining- not popular words in these daysof "easy" and "instant," butimportant, both to the eye and thepsyche.

End of preaching (for themoment). You might want tohave a look at the latest in tekkiehousekeepers, a new hard-sur-face floor cleaner that vacuums,wet-scrubs and then sucks up thedirty water to put sparkle onfloors covered in ceramic tiles,laminates, and vinyl.

Or so promises Hoover, themanufacturer and one of theworld's oldest naines in house-keeping helpmates. (In Europe,"Hoover" is a verb, as in, "1 needto Hoover the rugs.") Theyrecently introduced this newfloor scrubber called theFloorMate for about $229, whicheven works on hardwood floorsas long as the floor is sealed.

Q: I discovered a series ofhaif-inch holes on the uppertrunk of one of my pine trees,so many holes that more thanhalf of the bark around, thetree is damaged, and the holesare oozing sap.

I noticed several differenttypes of woodpeckers aroundthe house. Would they do thislooking for insects, or do theywant the sap?

I have never seen anythinglike this. I don't want the treeto die.

Is there anything I can doto prevent it? I thought maybehouse calk would stop thesap, and the tree might healitself'? Jf not, I will be leftwith a pine "bush!" Can Isave the upper part of thetree?A: I think you are noticing theunique feeding pattern of acommon, but shy woodpeckerknown as the yellow-belliedsapsucker.

They drill shallow holes,about as big around as a pen-cil eraser, in neat grid patternson tree trunks. They usuallyprefer sticky and sweet treeslike evergreens, birch, mapleand fruit trees.

They come back to each treeand eat any insects stuck tothe sap. They also drink thesap.

The holes tend to be super-ficial and not harmful to thetrees, although they do leak alot of sap and may look awful.

Other birds, such as hum-mingbirds, use these trees asfeeding sites.

They follow sapsuckersnorth in the spring duringmigration and will eat sap andinsects when flowers aren'tavailable.

Trunk-dwelling birds likenuthatches also take advan-tage of what sapsuckers leavebehind.

The damage from sapsuck-ers tends to be seasonalbecause in April, May,September and October theymigrate to and from winteringareas.

Few trees are harmed bythese birds. However, you canwrap the trunk with burlap ortree-wrap paper for protec-tion.

If there are no active holeson the tree now, you can waituntil fall to wrap the tree.Q: I was told that there is a

product that could be added tomy hanging baskets so that Iwouldn't have to Water themfor weeks at a time. lt soundstoo good to be true.

Is there such s product?A: There are several productsthat work pretty well at hold-ing water in the soil, however,you can't withhold water forweeks at a time.

There are products based onstarch and products based onpolyacrylamide polymers.The latter products are alsoused in disposable diapers -you know how well they holdwater.

The problem with theseproducts is that when theyneed to release the water tothe plant, the plant doesn'talways get it fast enough.

The starch-based productsare biodegradable, non-toxic

lt may take you a while toget used to thc actual timingof when they need to bewatered.

The plants can still be over-watered when the soil porcsthat are supposed to have airin them arc filled with excesswater.

They von't be over-watered

due to the water absorbinggranules in the soil.

If you are planting grassfrom seed or sod, these prod-ucts will help you keep soilmoisture at s proper level.

If you are planting trees,shrubs, perennials or largebeds of annuals, you shouldconsider using one of theseproducts.

Potted plants and other con-tamer plants will also benefit.

The crystals can be used in sjar to help roots develop oncuttings when you propagateplants. Some garden seedswill also sprout in the hydrat-ed gel.

As long as you follow thedirections, they will all work.

I tend to prefer tise productsthat can be mixed into soil ins wide area, so roots havemoist soil available no matterwhere they grow.

Your local garden centershould have at least one ofthese products on its shelf.
