There are only 40 tickets available per night. So, don’t wait to get your seat for SWCC Drama Club’s production of “Gas Light” slated April 23-26 during the community college’s Pay It Forward Week. Kelly Franklin, director of this play, said the reason for limited tickets is the play will be black box theatre — meaning ticket holders will be on the stage with the cast. “The drama will be inescapable this way,” Franklin said. Franklin describes “Gas Light” as an intense, suspenseful thriller centered on the Manningham family who live on Angel Street in 19th century London. There, Jack Manningham (played by SWCC music student Joseph Larson) — a suavely handsome man — is slowly driving his devoted wife Bella (Ahdri Evans) to the brink of insanity in a methodically evil way. But, then one afternoon, Bella receives an unexpected call from Inspector Rough (Justin Queener) from Scotland Yard. Rough is convinced Jack is a homicidal maniac wanted for a murder committed 15 years earlier in the house they’re living in. Gradually the inspector restores Bella’s confidence in herself and the evidence against Jack unfolds. “This play keeps you on the edge of your seat, constantly questioning the sanity of the characters,” Franklin said. The other two main characters in the play are housemaid

Show times are 7 p.m. April 23-25 and 2 p.m. April 26 at SWCC Performing Arts Center in Creston. Franklin said “Gas Light” does have adult themes and isn’t recommended for those age 17 and younger. Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for adults and can be purchased in advance by contacting Franklin at 641-2780319 or 641-782-1533.

DES MOINES (AP) — People would be able to get their criminal records expunged of cases in which they were acquitted or the charges were dismissed if the governor signs off on a bill that the Iowa Senate approved Thursday. The Senate voted 42-0 for the bill, two days after the House approved it in a 96-0 vote. It now heads to Gov. Terry Branstad for review. Current law allows such information to remain on a person’s records indefinitely. Supporters say the bill would help people applying for a job or renting a home, since those ■ Iowa actions often re- Newspaper quire a background Association check. “When you go registered home to your dis- against the bill tricts, if you talk about this bill, I saying they think you’re go- don’t support ing to be surprised practices that about how many people come for- essentially ward and thank you “erase history.” for voting it, thank you for making their lives a little better on a daily basis,” Rep. Mary Lynn Wolfe, D-Clinton, said before the vote Tuesday. The Iowa Newspaper Association registered against the bill. Executive Director Chris Mudge said the group doesn’t support practices that essentially “erase history.” The Senate already had approved the bill in March but had to vote again after the House made changes, including adding a 180-day waiting period for the records to be expunged. That change came after at least one group expressed concern about oversight in how the records would be expunged. But there was no vocal opposition to the bill Thursday.

Letter to the Editor Please respect the ISSB gardens From Lauri Long

I’m passionate about designing and planting the gardens for ISSB, and I hear people appreciate the beauty when they drive or walk by. The Adams Street Bank, though, seems to be a target for thieves, as some plants were taken last year before and after they were planted. This past Sunday, a black utility cart was taken from behind the wrought iron fence. It was left there until I returned from the compost site and

now missing in a matter of minutes. I would like to have my cart returned as it’s like my right hand and I need it to finish the planting and mulching. I hope people in the neighborhood would call the authorities for any suspicious behavior involving the area around the bank’s gardens and parking lot. Please — whoever you are — if you felt the need to get into the flower gardens, make yourself useful and pull the weeds and leave the plants alone.

Iowa native named to lead The Des Moines Register DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gannett Co. has hired an Iowa native as president and publisher of The Des Moines Register. The media company announced Thursday that David Chivers would lead the Register, the state’s largest news gathering organization. The 39-year-old Chivers was born and raised in Des Moines, and his first job was delivering the Register. He replaces Rick Green, who is now president and publisher of the Cincinnati

Enquirer. Chivers also will have strategic and financial oversight of the Iowa City Press-Citizen, St. Cloud Times in Minnesota, Argus Leader in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Springfield News-Leader in Missouri and The Baxter Bulletin in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Chivers most recently worked as chief digital officer at Jostens, which sells yearbooks and class rings. He’s also worked at The Wall Street Journal and Meredith Corporation.

Families make videos to reassure patients with dementia It’s an idea borrowed from an unlikely place: the 2004 Adam Sandler movie “50 First Dates.” ■

NEW YORK (AP) — For 94-year-old Louise Irving, who suffers from dementia, waking up every day to a video with a familiar face and a familiar voice seems to spark a flicker of recognition. “Good morning, merry sunshine, how did you wake so soon?” Irving’s daughter, Tamara Rusoff-Hoen, sings in a video playing from a laptop wheeled to her mother’s nursing home bedside. As the five-minute video plays, with stories of happy memories and get-togethers, Irving beams a bright smile before repeating the traditional family send-off. “Kiss, kiss ... I love you.” Such prerecorded messages from family members are part of an apparently unique pilot program

at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale aimed at helping victims of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia break through the morning fog of forgetfulness that can often cause them agitation and fear. It’s an idea borrowed from an unlikely place, the 2004 Adam Sandler movie “50 First Dates,” in which a brain-injured woman played by Drew Barrymore loses her memory every day and a suitor played by Sandler uses videos to remind her about him. “It was fluff, but it made me think, ‘How could that translate to our residents with memory loss?’” said Charlotte Dell, director of social services at the home. “We’re looking to see if we can set a positive tone for the day” without using drugs, she said. “What better way to start the day than to see the face and hear the voice of someone you love wishing you a wonderful morning?” As in the movie, every

day is a new day, and the video becomes part of the morning routine. Relatives who take part are urged to say good morning, use memory-triggering personal anecdotes and remind the residents that attendants will be helping them get dressed and ready for the day. Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias afflict a growing number of Americans as baby boomers age and people live longer. The Alzheimer’s Association says more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s. The first-thing-in-the morning video visits appear to be a new wrinkle in dementia caretaking. “Memory tools like videos and photos get a lot of use, but to have a couple of minutes with a loved one as a way to start out

the day, I haven’t heard of anything quite like that,” says Ruth Drew, director of family and information services for the association. Robert Abrams, a geriatric psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, called the program “both innovative and thoughtful.” “You’ve got a group of people with dementia who don’t really grasp the nature and purpose of their surroundings, or the circumstances that compelled them to be there,” Abrams says. “Consequently they’re alone and at sea, and feel frightened and even abandoned by family.” Experts cautioned, however, that Alzheimer’s patients vary widely, and that techniques that may work beautifully for one may not work for another.

Panthers show improvement at home meet By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

For the second straight year, the Panther Relays featured a perfect night for track and field on the last night for Drake Relays qualifying. The finish to the Panther Relays was electric, highlighted by three runners breaking the previous meet record in the 800 meters and close finishes in the Dick Skarda 4x400 Relay. Creston seniors Jay Wolfe and Bryce Briley, along with Mount Ayr junior Kyle Dolecheck all ran under Wolfe’s meet record of 1:57.97 in the 800. By doing so, all three punched their tickets to next week’s Drake Relays. Wolfe won in 1:54.75, with Dolecheck in second at 1:57.04 and Briley taking third in 1:57.23. (See related story.) In a span of 10 days, Briley cut eight seconds off his 800 meter time. “When you think about a two-lap race, that’s unbelievable,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. Harlan ended the night by winning the Dick Skarda 4x400 Relay, as Caleb Rasmussen outkicked Atlantic’s Gratt Reed for the victory in 3:30.93 to 3:31.56. The battle for third place came down to Dolecheck and Wolfe, with Dolecheck edging out the Panther senior. Mount Ayr took third in 3:35.16, with Creston fourth in a season’s best time of 3:35.26. About 10 minutes after running the 800, Briley ran a 51.79-split on the third leg

of the relay and Wolfe anchored in 49.31. “That shows the leadership those guys have,” Schlapia said. “It was something to see those guys run like they did in that 4x400.” Atlantic’s Alec Hayes took advantage of the weather, as well. Coming in with a personal best clearance of 6-2 in the high jump, Hayes punched his ticket to the Drake Relays by clearing 6-5.

Improvements The Panthers placed in three other relays, finishing fourth in the 4x800 with the team of Nick Walsh, Dalten Bierle, Cole Higgins and

Cody Wagner. Bierle ran a season’s best split of 2:16. The 4x200 relay of Wagner, Briley, Chris Foster and Wolfe took fifth. The distance medley relay team of Higgins, Joe Eblen, Walsh and Bierle ran 4:16.58 for sixth place. Trevor Downing threw a big personal best in the discus, throwing 118-4. “You can’t pass up, we had a lot of personal bests and season’s best on the varsity,” Schlapia said. “Trevor Downing, he had been in the low 100s and pulled one out at 118-4. His shot put was Please see RELAYS, page 5A

“Tonight, Creston was Tracktown, Iowa for the 800.” That’s how Mount Ayr head boys track coach Brad Elliott described an historic 800 meter race at Thursday’s Panther Relays. Creston seniors Jay Wolfe and Bryce Briley, along with Mount Ayr junior Kyle Dolecheck made a big statement on the last night for Drake Relays qualifying, as all three ran 1:57.23 or better. Wolfe entered the night fifth in the state for Drake Relays qualifying, with Dolecheck ninth and Briley tied for 16th. The top 16 times statewide, all classes, qualify for next weekend’s Drake Relays. All three runners ran under Wolfe’s meet record of 1:57.97, which he set last year. After Thursday’s race, there was little doubt that all three southwest Iowa harriers would be competing in the Drake Relays. Wolfe recorded the fastest time in the state to this points with a 1:54.75, with Dolecheck crossing in second place in 1:57.04 and Briley coming in third at 1:57.23. As of press time, that ranked Dolecheck seventh and Briley 10th in the state. Anticipation for Thursday’s race grew after all three ran sub-2 minutes Tuesday at Chariton.

Panthers finish with a flourish Creston boys rally for 2-1 Several season-bests in week’s third meet road victory By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

GLENWOOD — In his fifth year at the helm of Creston girls track, coach Clay Arnold isn’t sure he’s seen anything like Thursday night’s performance here. Considering it was the team’s third meet in four nights, the unprecedented run of personal bests and season-best relay performances was, in a word, “awesome.” “Everything that happened for us tonight was unprecedented,” said a gleeful Arnold, on the bus returning to Creston Thursday night. “Every single girl ran a season best or PR, and six of our seven relays did the same.” The team hosted the Lady Panther Relays in a victorious performance Monday, went to Maryville, Mo., for a second-place finish Tuesday night and capped the week by taking third behind Glenwood and Harlan Thursday. A deep Glenwood team amassed 173.5 points. Harlan finished with 117. Creston was a comfortable third with 92 points as Clarinda was fourth in the 10-team field with 76. “I wasn’t too worried about us from a physical standpoint,” Arnold said, “but I didn’t know where we would be in terms of mental sharpness. But on the bus on the ride over, they were geared up and completely mentally into it. It was perfect conditions, zero wind and warm on a fast track. Everybody answered the call.” Sophomore Hannah Hood, still bothered by a shoulder injury, did a “power throw” without the extra gliding steps and still H. Hood uncorked a school-record shot put heave of 36-5.5 for second place.

That broke the record of 363.75 set in 2003 by Callie Jeffryes. Her sister Marie Hood placed sixth in the same event at 31-1. Hannah Hood also placed fourth in the discus, again without steps, with a throw of 97-3. Freshman Faith Wilson had a personal best by 6 inches at 83-6.5. “Hannah threw 35 on a glide and I let her do another power throw, and she does a PR by 2 feet!” Arnold said. Natalie Mostek and Breanna Wallace tied for third in the high jump at 4-10. On the track, Creston won three events — 4x800 relay, distance medley relay and 4x400 relay. In the final event, two Creston teams earned points as a second varsity quartet placed seventh. Early in the meet, the 4x800 crew of Lexie Little, Maria Mostek, Jami Sickels and Natalie Mostek exceeded their season-best time by 4 seconds with a winning time of 10:04.50. Natalie Mostek anchored in a season-best carry of 2:24.14. Sickels’ 2:38.08 was a season best, Maria Mostek ran 2:28.15 and Little let off in 2:32.66. The distance medley team of Jessica Beatty, Raegen Smith, Rachel Shepherd and Maria Mostek ran a season-best 4:33.39 to win by nearly 6 seconds over Harlan. “That was the first time Shepherd ran the (400-meter) third leg,” Arnold said. “Smith had her best split of 27.4 and Maria brought us home with her best anchor of 2:29.40. Maria was in second place when she got it, and about 200 meters in she took over.” The 4x400 event was a demonstration of the team’s middle distance depth, with two units placing in a tough field. “We got a text that they had a few lanes open and we could enter a second team if Please see GIRLS, page 6A

DENISON — Creston snared the momentum from Denison-Schleswig in taking a 2-1 victory Thursday. After falling behind 1-0, the Panthers tied it before halftime and won it on a penalty kick by Conner Pals with 7:19 remaining. Pals netted both Creston goals. The league win pushed Creston to 2-0 in the Hawkeye 10 and 4-2 overall. Denison-Schleswig fell to 0-2 and 0-1 in H-10 play. The two head coaches had differing opinions of the late tiebreaking goal. “Creston played us very physically and we didn’t match their level of physicality tonight,” said Denison-Schleswig coach Carlos Trevino. “Their penalty kick resulted from a very questionable call as it was apparent that their player took a dive to try to draw the penalty kick. However, we aren’t going to win many games by only taking nine shots.” Pals tied the match with 19:21 remaining in the first half, making a good move after a long punt by goalkeeper Alex Nielsen, who was credited with the assist. “Pals had a great game,” Creston coach Jesus Rodriguez said. “It (penalty) could have been called at least two Pals times earlier. Finally, in the second half when he got knocked down inside the 18, we got the PK call and he was able to put it in.” D-S took the early lead with 28:42 remaining in the first half. Alvaro Flores scored his first goal of the season on a shot 6 yards in

front of the right post. It stayed tied until the PK call on a foul from 17 yards out with 7:19 remaining. “We were down and told the guys we have to play more physical,” Rodriguez said. “We can’t let them breathe, can’t let them turn with the ball. We started dominating the game.” Trevino said his team didn’t respond to the tactic. “Creston double or triple-teamed the ball when we got the ball inside of 25 yards and we continued to try to dribble through it instead of passing the ball to an open player,” the Monarchs coach said. “For some reason we never got back to crossing the ball and we had a lot of bad touches.” Rodriguez said the Panther attack frequently came through the left side, led by freshman Evan Jacobson. “He can cross and shoot with both legs, which gave us a lot of offense tonight,” Rodriguez said. “That was our main channel of attack tonight. Our center mids got everything out of the air in the second half. The guys were excited. We needed a win like this in the conference.” The busy week continues with the Winterset Tournament Saturday, starting with a 10 a.m. match against Indianola. Oskaloosa and Winterset meet in the other firstround game, with third-place and championship matches scheduled at 11:15 a.m. Rodriguez said his bench will come into play, as some players have a conflict in taking college entrance exams Saturday morning.

Creston 2, Denison-Schleswig 1 Creston (2) — Conner Pals (Alex Nielsen assist) 28:42 first half; Pals PK 7:19 second half. Shots (on goal) — 11 (4 on goal). Individual shots (on goal)— McClain Haines 3 (2 on goal), Conner Pals 3 (2 on goal), Evan Jacobson 1, Gavin Woods 1. Keeper saves — Alex Nielsen 4. Cards — Kyle Jennett (Y). D-S (1) — Alvaro Flores (Nelson Lopez assist), 28:42 first half. Shots (on goal) — 9 (4 on goal). Saves — Joshua Bonilla 7.

Somehow, they topped that performance. “It was the most anticipated race of the night,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “How that race finished up, I would put that race against any other race in the state as one of the best races across the whole state of Iowa. This was round three with those three guys.” “Not to compare it to a boxing analogy, but round three between these guys was even better than round two, and I didn’t think that was possible,” Elliott said.

“Hopefully we get a round four up there on the Blue Oval at Drake Stadium to see what they can do.”

Big-time atmosphere With the crowd anticipating the race all night, even the runners could sense it was turning into a big-meet atmosphere. “When we were warming up today, I was talking to Briley and he was like ‘this is just like a state meet,’” Dolecheck said. “I was nervous, too. I was like, ‘wow, Please see 800, page 5A

COUNCIL BLUFFS — The Creston/O-M boys golf team took advantage of stellar conditions here Thursday at Fox Run Golf Club to post a dominant victory at the LC Invite. Creston/O-M finished the day with a team score of 301, finishing 22 strokes ahead of runner-up Glenwood. Shenandoah was third at 325, with Nodaway Valley taking fourth ahead of host Lewis Central with its score of 329. “What an amazing day for golf,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Jon Thomson said. “The course was looking good and the kids played well. I didn’t know how well they would bounce back from having to leave at 5 in the morning. You couldn’t ask for better weather to golf in.”

Seniors Sam Hartsock and Christian Groumoutis each carded rounds of 74 over the 18-hole c o u r s e , Hartsock with Hartsock finishing third and Groumoutis finishing fourth. Coleton Hoepker finished fifth individually with his round of 76.

SHENANDOAH — The Creston/O-M girls golf team made a statement here Thursday by posting a big win at the Fillie Invitational at American Legion Country Club. Creston/O-M posted a team score of 386, finishing 21 strokes ahead of runner-up and host Shenandoah.

The Panthers were led by junior Madison Hance, who finished second individually

with her round of 90. Southwest Iowa’s Sabrina Hernandez was top med- Hance alist with a score of 89. In total, five Panther golfers finished in the top 11 individually.

Panther girls fall, 1-0 By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

DENISON — Both teams were seeking their first win of the season, and a firsthalf goal held up for a Denison-Schleswig 1-0 victory over visiting Creston girls Thursday night. An unassisted goal by Kelby Brungardt at the 23:00 mark of the first half for Denison-Schleswig was the only score in this defensive battle. D-S improved to 1-3, all in Hawkeye 10 play, while Creston fell to 0-5 overall

and 0-4 in the league. “We improved, but it was too little, too late for us,” said Creston coach Kim Lauffer. “We started to do some good things with the ball. When we’re winning the ball, we do some good things. We had a lot of shots on goal. We have to work on playing well in the first half, for the entire game, not just after they already have one in.” With goalkeeper Taquana Williams out of action with a root canal procedure done Thursday, Becca Ross and Shelby Palser shared duties in the net on a night when

three key defenders were also out of action. Logan Pettit had to sit out with a concussion, and Maddie Travis and Katie Powers are away this week on a mission trip to Guatemala. “We had some kids come up from JV and help us in a positive way,” Lauffer said. “We got by. We were winning the 50-50 balls much better than Tuesday.” The teams were nearly even on shots (18-17 D-S’s favor) and both hit 12 on goal. “It was a great win for our kids,” said D-S coach Nick Bradley. “Our defense to-

night was outstanding and allowed us to play on Creston’s half of the field for a majority of the night.” The Panthers play at Chariton on Tuesday.

just off his career best. He didn’t place, but he had an outstanding night.” In the JV competition, Creston had eight placewinners and had several more season or personal bests. Nathan Cox finished third in the long jump with a personal best jump of 13-9.75. Dylan Linch and Ben Bargstadt each ran personal bests in the 1,600 meters, running 5:48.80 and 5:59.79.

this is big!’” As the race unfolded, the crowd became more electric. “It felt like I was running at state,” Briley said. “It was a pretty awesome crowd to- Briley night.” “I feel like we had a good crowd here to kind of witness three of the best,” Wolfe said. “I don’t think we d i s a p - Wolfe pointed at all. It’s just special to be able to run against two other really good competitors.” Dolecheck said the noise from the crowd on the homestretch of the first lap

was louder than any other race he’d run in this year. By the time they came off the final curve in the final 100 meters, it was even louder. “ W e knew it was going to be even louder on the last lap,” he said. “It was just Dolecheck crazy. I couldn’t hear anything on the homestretch.”

Historic race To further put the magnitude of the race into perspective, Briley’s time of 1:57.23 ranks him as the second-fastest 800 runner in Creston history, behind only Wolfe. Dolecheck’s time of 1:57.04 ranks him second on Mount Ayr’s all-time perfor-

mance list, behind Elliott. “I think a lot of kids in our area, hopefully, were inspired by seeing that,” Elliott said. “Other than Nathan Brotherton, it had probably been a pretty long time since somebody had broken 2 minutes in this area. Then to watch three guys in the same race go sub-1:58, it’s just phenomenal.” “When you finish second and third and you’re still running 1:57, that shows you what type of race it is,” Schlapia said. “They brought it. All three of them left it out there on the track. That was cool to see them push each other. That’s what athletic competition is all about.” The three runners began their friendly rivalry last year and have carried it over to this season. “I think we’re all just pushing each other to be as good as we can be,” Wolfe said.

“We’re three of the best in southwest Iowa. We just want to qualify for the Drake Relays and show the rest of the state what southwest Iowa has to offer.” Having that type of competition in close proximity has made all three runners better. “Anytime you sit there and you can say within a 40-mile window you’ve got three of the best 800 runners in the state, I always like to think competition breeds success with other runners,” Elliott said. “It took a Jay Wolfe for a Bryce Briley and a Kyle Dolecheck to emerge, too.” It was an unforgettable race for those who witnessed it. “That was absolutely one of the best races I’ve ever seen,” Elliott said. “Especially the best race I’ve ever seen in high school, locally.”

we wanted to,” Arnold said. “I told the girls they were a second varsity relay team. They ran too good to call them JV.” The team of Little, Shepherd, Cayla Maitlen and Kiersten Latham ran seventh in 4:39.32. It was Latham’s high school debut in the quarter-mile, and she ran it in 1:08. Maitlen put the team into first place in the first heat with a 1:08.9 in her first 400 of the year as well. Creston did not come into the meet with the fastest seeded team in the 4x400. Glenwood had run a 4:11.00 to Creston’s previous best of 4:20.29. But Smith started off with her best time of 1:03.36 and handed off to Breanna Wallace, who covered the lap in her best of 1:04.20. Natalie Mostek took the baton in second place and about 175 meters into her carry she passed Glenwood’s Kaycee Clark. By the time Mostek finished her 1:03.99 carry, the Panthers were in front and anchor runner Taylor Briley held off Glenwood 400-meter hurdles winner Molly Dean with a PR carry of 1:01.6. Creston’s winning time was 4:13.03 — a season best by 7 seconds. “All the girls just ran incredible,” Arnold said. “It was a great way to end a spectacular meet.” There were plenty of other highlights. A new sprint medley relay unit of Smith, Latham, Josie Sickels and Little placed third in 2:02.44. Maria Mostek took third in a “stacked” 1,500 race in 5:14.60, and teammate Jessica Beatty exceeded her best by 9 seconds in taking eighth for a team point in 5:36.71. Wallace, a freshman 400-meter specialist, extended to 800 meters for the first time Thursday and placed third in 2:35.75. The 4x200 relay team of Natalie Mostek, Beatty, Smith and Briley placed fourth in 1:51.64. That’s the fastest Creston time since the 1:49.68 turned in by Katlin Briley, Zaidy Frank, Brianna Maitlen and Audrey Bolinger in 2012.

Camryn Somers finished 11th with her round of 106. Hayley Osmun shot 151 for the Panthers. “It was a great day for the girls,” McKim said. “The first tournament of the year can be challenging, but our girls grinded it out and stayed focused throughout the round.” Nodaway Valley took two golfers to the tournament, with Lizz Hansen leading the way with her round of 123.

5 health improvements you can make today that will pay off for a lifetime (BPT) — Improving your health and wellness can seem like a daunting task, especially if you know you have some bad health habits to break. But, several improvements you can make today can result in tremendous health benefits. “It starts with you,” says physician assistant Tricia A. Howard, a faculty member at South University, Savannah’s College of Health Professions. “You have more control over your health than you think you do.” Here are five steps you can take today that can have a positive impact on your overall health and wellness. Stop smoking Everyone knows smoking is bad for you. In fact, people who smoke have by far the greatest risk of lung cancer - the number one cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. - and increased risk of a cardiac event. But, many people don’t realize that changes in

the lungs caused by smoking can actually improve over time once a smoker quits. “Even if you’ve smoked for many years, you can reduce your lung cancer risks just by quitting,” says Howard. “And this isn’t just about your own health. Smoking puts the ones you love at risk, because even second-hand smoke can cause cancer. So, quitting is a win-win for you and those you love.” Howard says people who want to quit smoking do better when they set a target date to quit. She also advises working with your primary health care provider who can actually individualize a stop-smoking plan for you. And, Howard says getting support from others is a crucial part of the battle. Increase your water intake Sixty percent of your body weight is water. Your body depends on water to carry nutrients to cells and to flush

toxins out of vital organs, so getting the right amount of fluids each day is crucial. Howard says men should drink 3 liters, or 13 cups, per day. For women, the recommendation is 2.2 liters, or 9 cups, per day. If that recommendation seems tough to follow, Howard says to divide it up throughout the day. “Make sure you have water with every meal and also drink water at least once between each meal,” she suggests. “That divides up your

fluid intake and can make the amount seem less daunting.” And, Howard says you don’t have to stick to water. Milk, coffee, and other drinks that contain a lot of water and not a lot of calories count towards your daily fluid intake. Exercise “Exercise reduces your risk for chronic disease, improves balance and coordination and helps with weight loss,” Howard says. “Exercise is a key part of living a

healthy life.” Howard says the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, or 90 minutes of vigorous exercise a week, for adults. “That sounds like a lot,” Howard acknowledges. “But, if you break it into 15-or-20-minute daily workouts it’s much easier to fit into your schedule. You don’t have to spend hours at a time in the gym to reap the benefits.” Howard says recent studies have shown that even short bursts of exercise can be helpful. Adopt the Mediterranean diet The Mediterranean diet is a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, olive oil, nuts and fish. The results of numerous studies show long-term health benefits to adopting the diet. “This is a diet filled with

antioxidants and anti-inflammatories,” Howard explains. “This diet has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer when adhered to long-term. Weight loss and improvement in cholesterol can be seen after just a few months.” Have your cholesterol checked You might be surprised to learn that you should begin having your cholesterol monitored by a doctor at age 20. But since coronary artery disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S., it’s a recommendation you should take seriously. “There is no reason to avoid having your cholesterol checked,” Howard says. “If your cholesterol levels aren’t where they should be, you can change them.” Howard says levels that are too high can be controlled by diet, quitting smoking, exercise, and even prescription medication.

You can be a cancer warrior The Greek myth about powerful Amazonian women evolved over many years, and by the fifth century B.C., the historian Herodotus reported that the alluring, but frightening, females lived in a fortified city on the Black Sea and raised their girl children to be warriors equal to any challenge. More than 2,400 years later, an archeological dig in the steppes of the southern Urals found evidence of unusually tall women (for the era) buried with swords and sporting battle wounds. Guess they weren’t so mythical after all! Well, it’s time for another band of female warriors to take up the battle — this time against cancer. A new study out of the U.K. indicates that the more than 41 million women in North America who are obese (a BMI of 30 or higher) have a 40 percent greater risk of developing bowel, post-menopausal breast, gallbladder, womb, kidney, pancreatic and esophageal cancer than healthy-weight women. If that’s you, you CAN cut your cancer risk by fighting to establish a healthy weight. Your battle plan: not smoking, drinking no more than one glass of wine a day, eating five to nine servings of produce daily and dodging added sugars and syrups, red meat and processed foods. Also, for your pleasure and your health, sleep seven to eight hours a night, meditate, make love as often as possible and get active. All exercise makes your immune system a better cancer fighter. We believe every one of YOU has an inner Amazonian who will fight for

Weekly health tips Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. and Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D.

better health. Unleash your Amazon warrior! STAY AWAY FROM SPRAY TANS Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton have more in common than yesterday’s news. They’re spray-tan fans, and like other pale-skinned North Americans, they’re opting for dodging the sun’s rays while still getting a glow from head to toe. But whether you pay $300 for an airbrushed blush at a Beverly Hills salon or less than $10 for a bottle of doit-yourself spray tan from the corner drugstore, many experts think accidentally inhaling the mist (easy to do) is very bad for you. There are animal studies that indicate the turn-youbrown ingredient in the sprays — dihydroxyacetone (abbreviated as DHA) — triggers genetic mutations that could lead to cancer and damage the lungs. And what about the spray-tan salons that claim this DHA is Food and Drug Administration-approved for ingestion (in one video, a salon worker drinks it!) and is just plain harmless? Sorry, Charlie. They’re confusing DHA in spray tans with DHA-omega-3 found in tuna, salmon, algae and algal oil. That goodfor-you omega-3 fatty acid is docosahexaenoic acid. Two years after an ABC News expose revealed this common confusion, many tanning salons continue to claim, “The solution we use

is a non-toxic, food grade product.” On top of that, those same salons often don’t offer protective eye cover or prevent dihydroxyacetone inhalation, as the FDA recommends. Even though the FDA does OK dihydroxyacetone for topical sunless tanners, we say respect the skin color Mother Nature gave you, and protect it. So get a little sun, make some vitamin D and apply sunscreen (SPF 30) made from micronized zinc oxide. LOW-T SUPPLEMENTS? SHOULD IT BE A CHOICE OR A NONO? When Hans and Franz (Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon) appear on TV (“Saturday Night Live” reruns and, more recently, in a cheeky commercial), they’re all about fitness training to “Pump ... you up!” They know that’s a great way to maximize testosterone levels. But what would they say about taking testosterone supplements? The shady ones sold on the Internet (no prescription needed!) can have risky side effects, such as shrunken and soft testicles — or what Hans and Franz called “girlyman syndrome.” But even Food and Drug Administration-approved testosterone supplements now come with a warning: Taking testosterone ups the risk of heart attack and stroke in aging men. That’s launched a debate:

to supplement or not to supplement. A lot of guys say they feel much better (less lethargy, more sexual zip) when they take the hormone. In fact, men 40plus have tripled their use of these supplements in the past three decades. But before you head to the doc and ask for the Big T, here’s our tip: If you’re overweight, lose it! Extra fat, especially around your belly or abdomen, acts like a sponge, taking testosterone out of the blood, reducing libido, energy and other male-related characteristics. So, ditch the Five Food Felons, shoot for 10,000 steps a day and build muscle with resistance training two or three times a week. Then ask your doc if supplements are for YOU. And guys, let us know how you feel about the risk from T supplements to your heart versus the benefit of feeling better; drop us a line at youdocs@ gmail.com. FREE PEDOMETER APPS FOR SMARTPHONES “Step right up, ladies and gents. Step right up!” Carnival barker Gabby Gilfoil (W.C. Fields) in the silent 1927 film “Two Flaming Youths” enticed passersby to try a new experience. And we’d like to get you to step right up, too, and get your free step-counter app for your smartphone! It can help you reduce your risk of heart disease; improve blood pressure, blood sugar and lousy LDL cholesterol levels; and boost happiness! We’ve always suggested that you get two pedometers: one to carry, one to stash in the car. But a new study shows that these apps

are an appealing and effective alternative. They’re pretty accurate (plus or minus around 6 percent; a little less accurate than standalone devices), have cool extras and free you from having to carry yet another device. If you’re one of the many folks who are reluctant to tote around a conventional pedometer, look up Breeze, MapMyWalk, Moves, Pacer, Pedometer for M7, Pedometer++, Runtastic, Steps and Walker M7 to see what appeals to you. You can download them from Google Play or the App Store on iTunes. They run on any smartphone (the new apps need an M7 chip). And not only can they count and record your steps by the minute, hour, day, week, month and year, they can give you your target BMI, show you where you’ve been walking, running or biking using GPS mapping, and let you know how much energy (calories) you spent doing it. So step, step, step (10,000 of them is your daily minimum — no excuses) right up! A LEGACY WITHOUT AFIB Actor Idris Elba may be the busiest man in showbiz, with seven movies in post-production or filming. And while he’s always intense, his portrayal of a solider slowly unraveling in the 2010 movie “Legacy” was enough to make anyone’s heart skip a beat. Now the LEGACY Study from Australia reveals that if you have atrial fibrillation (or a-fib, an irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke and is getting more common in people over

age 65), a great way to help stop the heart from stuttering is to lose weight and keep it off. Researchers followed 355 obese people with a-fib for four years: 45 percent of participants who lost at least 10 percent of their body weight had NO SYMPTOMS of a-fib, without taking any medication. About 5.2 million people in North America have a-fib.

Know where you are Dear Heloise: I saw a suggestion sent in by a reader for leaving a baby sitter a list of instructions. Certainly, having this list available is important, but the most important information, which should be posted by every telephone, is the ADDRESS of the residence. The person (baby sitter) who is calling 911 often may not reside at the location and has no idea where emergency help should be sent. And often during an emergency, even the homeowner may have trouble thinking of the address. — Susie D. in Texas How right you are, and minutes saved can save a life! Readers, did you know that if you call 911 from your cellphone, THEY DO NOT KNOW exactly where you are? It’s not like on TV shows and movies. Also, what if you are in a highrise apartment building with hundreds of apartments? Most 911 call centers CANNOT locate a cellphone call and CANNOT read a text message. Know where you are, state so at the beginning of the call and give your phone number. — Heloise

ly removed, repeat the steps. This may lighten the wood a little, but just polish the spot with furniture oil once the stain is gone. Vinegar works on so many things around the house. To find many of my favorite uses, order my vinegar pamphlet. Visit my website, www.Heloise. com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Have a white ring on clay pots? Scrub the area with undiluted white vinegar to remove the salt buildup. — Heloise CREATIVE QUESADILLAS Dear Heloise: I bought a BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker quesadilla maker. It is great! I have a picky eater at home, and this is a great way to get him involved in making dinner together. He can pick whatever he wants on his quesadilla. Now there are no fights about what he won’t or will eat. We have fun, too. We use peanut butter and chocolate chips to make a dessert. — C.M., via email

P.S.: I hope you never have to use this service. DARK WATER RINGS Dear Heloise: Water seeped under a saucer placed under a plant on my hardwood floor. I thought I had protected the floor, but now it is stained with dark rings. Do you have a hint that can reduce those rings? — Sylvia O., Rockville, Md. I’m here to help, Sylvia! It sounds like you are dealing with a mold or mildew stain instead of just a regular water stain, because you said it is dark. First, you need to kill the mildew. A simple and safe solution: vinegar! Rub the area with white or apple-cider vinegar on a clean towel, going in the direction of the grain of the wood. Use only a small amount of vinegar, and DO NOT soak the wood — it might swell. Let the area dry for at least 24 hours, or until dry to the touch. (c)2015 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young If the stain isn’t complete- Syndicate Inc.

Horoscope Saturday, April 18, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your image. This is the perfect thing to do when the New Moon is in your sign. (This happens only once a year.)

What do you have to do today to get there? LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) What further education or training would improve your career? What kind of travel would enhance and enrich your life? Today’s New Moon urges you to think about this. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Are you happy with your fair share of things and how property and money are divided? The Golden Rule definitely applies to how we share things. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today the only New Moon directly opposite your sign all year is taking place. That makes this the perfect day to ask yourself how you can improve your closest relationships. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) How can you improve your job or even your attitude toward your job? For that matter, how can you improve your relationships with co-workers? Think about this today.

bers? Each New Moon is a chance to make resolutions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Are you satisfied with your style of communicating with others? There’s a difference between hearing and listening. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Information is power, and it’s important for you to feel that you are on top of your financial scene. Figure out what you owe and what you own. YOU BORN TODAY You are a noble Aries, a defender of

what is right and good. You are vigorous and dynamic, yet always aware of your appearance. A major decision awaits you this year. It would be wise to save your money in the first half of the year to help you later in the year. Be aware of integrity and patience this year.
