Local hero to pay tribute to past, present and future veterans Captain Eric Green to deliver Memorial Day keynote speech ■

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

With Memorial Day upon us, Captain Eric Green, 39, of Afton is preparing to address the community during two Memorial Day Services Monday.

Green, who was raised in Creston since the age of 5, hadn’t always planned for a military career. After graduating from Creston High School in 1993, Green attended Southwestern Community College, where he earned an Associate of Arts degree before earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Simpson College in Indianola.

However, after coordinated terrorists attacks killed almost 3,000 people on U.S. soil on Sept. 11, 2001, Green decided to take action.

“I felt I had to do something,” Green said.

Military service In 2003, Green enlisted in the National Guard as an infantryman into Alpha Com-

pany, 1-168th Infantry Battalion based in Corning. After reaching the rank of specialist, Green attended officer candidate school at the 185th Regional Training Institute at Camp Dodge, where he was elected president of his class and commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant into the Military Intelligence Corps in 2006.

In 2006, Green’s first assignment was serving as the assistant intelligence officer for Green headquarters, 1-168th Battalion in Council Bluffs, before he was moved to the position of intelligence officer in charge (S-2) in 2008.

As intelligence officer in charge, Green was mobilized three times. The first time, Green aided fellow Iowans in Des Moines and Burlington during the floods of 2008.

In January 2009, Green was called to duty to lead his intelligence section in Washington, D.C., during a security support mission for President Barrack Obama’s inauguration. In 2010, Green lead a 45 person intelligence team at Forward Operating Base Gardez in Paktya Province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Upon completion of his Afghanistan mission, Green was selected to command the only military intelligence company in the Iowa Army National Guard. Green held this position from 2012 until his last days in the Iowa National Guard in February 2014.

Green currently attends Drake University in Des Moines, where he is studying law. Green and his wife Elizabeth have a daughter named Sadie.

Military achievements During his service, Green has earned the Bronze Star medal — awarded for acts of heroism, merit or meritorious service in a combat zone — the fourth highest individual military award in the U.S. military.

Additionally, Green has earned Army commendation and Army achievement medals, both with bronze oak leave cluster.

He has also received an Army Reserves components achievement medal, national defense service medal, Afghanistan campaign medal with two campaign stars, global wars on terrorism service medal, Armed Forces reserve Medal with “M” device and bronze hour glass device, Army service ribbon, overseas service ribbon, NATO

heartbreak

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES — Day one of competition here Thursday at the Co-ed State Track Meet featured a wide range of emotions.

There was elation, as Mount Ayr senior Noah Larsen won a state championship in the Class 1A 3,200 meters before joining teammates Erik Freed, Trevor Anderson and Kyle Dolecheck as the first Raider relay team to win a state champi-

onship in a relay.

Then there was the Creston girls 4x800 relay team, which celebrated on the Drake Stadium infield after finishing fourth in Class 3A with a new school-record time.

But things took a sour turn when the Creston boys 4x800 team’s dreams of a state championship came crumbling down with the clang of the baton hitting the track.

For more on these stories and other action from day one of state track, see page 1S.

Union County EMS (emergency management services) Association received a grant through Stalker Chevrolet and Iowa Automobile Dealers Association for CPR training mannequins.

A four-pack of Baby Anne CPR training mannequins w e r e given to Cheryl Blazek, treasurer of Union County Blazek E M S Association May 16 at Stalker Chevrolet.

“We can use them for training,” Blazek said.

“All the firefighters and EMS providers have to have CPR every two years.”

Blazek said the association will host CPR classes open to the public, also.

“We can use them for any public CPR classes we’re doing through the association,” Blazek said.

“It’ll definitely help as far as equipment. It was a need that we had.”

Blazek applied for the grant after receiving an email from Creston Assistant Fire Chief Mick Landers, who thought Southwestern Community College might be interested in the grant.

“Apparently they (Stalker) do this every year,” Blazek said. “I thought it was more appropriate if EMS uses it.”

Union County EMS Association owns four adult training mannequins, and now the association owns four infant mannequins for training, as well. The mannequins were donated in time Please see CPR GRANT, Page 2

HERO:

Deaths Ardell Gibson Smith Prescott, Ariz.

April 13, 1919 to May 16, 2014 Ardell Gibson Smith, a resident of Las Fuentes, passed away on Smith May 16, 2014 at Hospice Family Care in Prescott.

Ardell was born on a farm near Zion, Iowa (Union County) on April 13, 1919 and was the only child of Nellie (Courier) Gibson and Eli Gibson.

She graduated high school in Zion and continued her education at the Grand Island Business College in Grand Island, Nebraska.

For many years, she worked at Radioplane in Los Angeles making target drones for the Armed Services. Throughout her work career, she resided in Nebraska, California, New Mexico, Boston, and New York City.

In 1959 she married Clair Smith, whom she had known since she was 3 years old. They resided in Creston, Iowa where Clair was co-owner of Smith Concrete Products for nearly 40 years. Ardell was a member of Lady Elks, Ladies Literary, and Women’s Club while living in Creston. She was also active in the Union County Historical Society and was Chairman of the Southwest Iowa Hospital Auxiliary and member of their Board. Ardell was a member of Eastern Star

since 1937 and P.E.O. since 1972.

She was a talented seamstress and jewelry designer.

She enjoyed playing golf and traveling particularly throughout Europe. From 1975 to 1994, Ardell and Clair lived at their second home in Rio Verde, Arizona during the winter months. In 1990, they permanently moved to the Preseott Country Club. After Clair’s death in 1999, Ardell moved to Las Fuentes where she lived happily until her final days. In 2004, Ardell began losing her eyesight, but it never dampened her spirits or determination to live life to its fullest.

She is survived by her sister-in-law Eve Ardell Dougherty of Preseott; niece, Diane R. DeLong and her husband Robert DeLong, and their children, Brynn DeLong of New York City; Nick DeLong of Tucson; and Haley DeLong of Flagstaff. She is also survived by nephew Steve Smith ofReno, Nevada; and nieces Tami Smith of Bremerton, Washington; Robin Smith of Berkeley, California; Kati Smith Holmes of Kailua, Hawaii; Dr. Charol Shakesbaft of Ashland, VA; and Gail Smith Page of Hurdle Mills, North Carolina.

Memorial Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on May 28, 2014 at Las Fuentes, 1035 Scott Drive in Prescott with the Reverend Stan Brown officiating.

Memorials may be made to Horses With H.E.A.R.T. (Hands-on Equine Assisted Riding Therapy).

Sunrise Funeral Home in Prescott Valley assisted the family with arrangements.

CPR GRANT: Continued from Page 1

for EMS week, a nationally acknowledged week, according to the National Emergency Medical Services website, meant “to recognize and honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of emergency medicine’s ‘front line.’� “It was a nice partnership to have with the car dealership, and it was so nice that we got it (the grant),�

Blazek said. “We were told

they only gave out 12 in the state, so it was nice that we got one of them.�

National Automobile Dealers Charitable Foundation works with new car dealers throughout the country to donate CPR training mannequins to hospitals, police and fire departments and schools.

Since the program began in 1975, more than 4,600 mannequins have been donated and more than two million people have been trained on mannequins donated through the program.

More than 13,000 southern Iowans make us a part of their lives each weekday!

Unconventional farmers in Bridgewater swim upstream

By ALEXI GROUMOUTIS

Southern Iowa Resource Conservation and Development Local Foods Coordinator

Dale Raasch, owner of Bridgewater Farm, is not afraid of getting his boots stuck in the mud. That’s because he knows Tyler, his 24-year-old son, is never too far behind in case he needs to be dug out.

This father/son team takes great pride working the land side by side on their two-man farming operation located on 40 acres outside of Bridgewater in Adair County.

Raasch, who describes himself as an unconventional farmer swimming upstream, has been farming for 35 years and hails from a family of farmers.

He decided four years ago to begin making the shift towards pesticide-free, antibiotic-free, hormone-free and genetically modified-free farming. He came to this decision because he believes it’s better for people, animals and the environment.

By growing food sustainably, he hopes to make a difference globally.

Raasch recognizes Americans are facing a health crisis due to poor eating habits and reiterates his son’s advice on the importance of making mindful food choices.

“By buying better food now it’s just like an insurance policy, pay a little

bit more now and eat better and you’re are going to be healthier,” Raasch said. “Otherwise if you don’t, down the road you are going to pay for it later.

It may even cost you your life.”

Raasch raises antibiotic and cage-free broiler chickens and laying hen chickens, cattle which he pastures part of the year, hogs, ducks that are raised for their eggs, vegetables and fruits.

Raasch not only grows 12 acres of produce outdoors, but he also grows produce in his 30 by 96 foot high tunnel.

He grows herbs, radishes, kale, squash, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, berries and watermelon, just to name a few.

Last year he planted 1,150 tomato plants, 1,100 pounds of potatoes and 2,000 sweet potatoes.

Raasch said he has built a loyal customer base because people like knowing exactly where their food comes from and they enjoy the superior taste of his locally grown foods.

“That’s one of the biggest selling points,” Raasch said.

“If you can get them to try it and they like it, they’re going to be back.”

Raasch, who is always on the go, sells his products at farmers’ markets in Creston, Johnston, Atlantic and Winterset.

He also sells to surrounding specialty and mainstream grocery stores, hospi-

DES MOINES — On the back of the Creston boys’ state track T-shirts, it says “Big blue, where dreams come true.”

The dream Thursday for Bryce Briley, Cooper McDermott, Brandon Phipps and Jay Wolfe was to win a state championship in the Class 3A 4x800 relay.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to win state with these guys,” Briley said after the race. “And it just crushed our dream in one moment.”

The moment Briley was talking about came 700 meters into the race, as Briley was coming off the fourth turn into the straightaway.

Briley was making a move to take over second place, and as his arm swung backward, the baton was kicked out of his hand from behind. Briley continued for about three steps without the baton, before running back to pick it up.

Just like that, Creston’s dreams of becoming the school’s first-ever Please see BOYS, Page 4S

BOONE — Coaches Kevin Cooper and Amanda Plymale called it “an amazing day.”

A new era of Creston/OM girls tennis dawned in Class 1A regional singles and doubles play here Thursday.

Panther tennis sent a girls doubles team to state for the first time in 31 years, and nearly made it a clean sweep in the doubles competition.

When we got people to run with, we really stepped up.”

“It was neck and neck with her (Haffarnan) the whole way,” Natalie Mostek said. “About the 200 mark, I kicked it in and she started to die.

That was the hardest race I’ve ever N. Mostek ran.”

Arnold said he felt confident with his lineup change, having Briley lead off and Maria Mostek run the third leg.

“Maria had kind of been stuck on 2:28,” he said.

“I knew if I put her in the third leg and she had someone to catch, she could cut some time off. Both of them wanted to do it. It worked out perfect.”

Briley and both Mosteks were members of the previous school record, which was set at last year’s State Qualifying Meet. The other member was Emily Wignall, as the Panthers ran 9:47.41.

The three returning members agreed Thursday’s experience, especially in front of a large contingent of Panther fans, was much better than last year’s state meet, when the Panthers were unable to match their time from the State Qualifying Meet.

“The word of the season was unfinished b u s i ness,” Arnold said. “We came up here last year in Arnold the same position, with the third best time in the state and kind of laid down up here and didn’t run well. This was kind of redemption for us.”

DES MOINES — It’s beginning to sound like a broken record, but the Creston girls track team has broken the 4x800 school record yet again.

For the third year in a row, the Panthers have reset the school record in the event, as they ran 9:40.57 for fourth place here Thursday at the Co-ed State Track Meet.

“We cut 14 seconds in one week,” Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold said. “We shattered the school record. Third year in a row we’ve shattered it.”

The team consisted of Taylor Briley, Lexie Little, Maria Mostek and Natalie Mostek.

After changing the order of the relay from last week’s State Qualifying Meet, the Panthers steadily moved their way up through the field until Natalie Mostek capped it off by holding off Mount Pleasant’s Chloe Haffarnan for fourth place.

Taylor Briley led off in 2:28.42 and handed off in ninth place.

“I went out way faster than I normally do on the first lap,” Briley said. “I just tried to stay up there.

All the other girls were really fast.”

Little, a freshman, followed it up with a 2:28.32 leg to move the Panthers into seventh place.

“She ran a great second leg,” Arnold said. “The freshman didn’t let the big stage bother her at all.”

Maria Mostek moved the Panthers up two more spots, into fifth with her carry of 2:24.99. Twin sister Natalie finished it off with a personal best split of 2:18.14.

“I’m just really proud of them,” Arnold said.

“The pep talk of the night would be we’re not done yet. Come back tomorrow and hopefully get some more medals and see what we can do with some other school records.”

The Panthers return to action today with the distance medley relay at 2 p.m. and the 4x400 relay prelims at 7:40 p.m.

DES MOINES — Lenox junior Katie Dukes placed in the Class 1A 400 meters for the second straight year here Thursday at the Co-ed State Track Meet.

After placing seventh a year ago, D u k e s finished sixth this year with her time of 1:00.83.

Murray s e n i o r Dukes Kate Patton, in her third event of the day, finished 16th in 1:02.93.

“That’s pretty good,” Dukes said. “A lot better than last year, that’s for sure. Coming into the meet, I only ran like a 1:02.”

Even though she didn’t place in the 400 meters this year, Patton still had a successful first day on the track, qualifying for finals in the 100 meters and the 200 meters.

Patton qualified fourth for Saturday’s 100 meter finals with her time of 13.07.

She qualified third for the 200 meter finals by running 26.18.

McIlravy was defeated by Kuemper’s Mattie Potthoff in the first round, but the first set went to an 11-9 tiebreaker.

“Both of them had tough draws and played some quality points, but came up short today,” Cooper said.

“Good things are going to happen for them.”

Fyock is the only senior in the lineup. And with junior Ashley Harris out with illness Thursday, the rest of the Panther lineup was made up of sophomores. It’s shaping up as a bright future.

“What an amazing day of tennis for our girls program,” Cooper said. “We have been waiting for this day for a long time. I couldn’t be more proud of how this team competed today. We are still a young team, and this was an amazing experience for us.”

There has never been a girls singles qualifier for state from Creston. Previous doubles qualifiers were Janelle Johnson and Kelly Reed in 1980 and 1981; and the team of Becci Kouri and Jenni Holm in 1983.

RAIDERS:

BOYS:

leads the Class 1A team standings with 25 points.

AGWSR is second with 18 points.

The other five points for the Raiders came from Dolecheck placing fourth in the 400 meter dash with a new personal best time of 50.57.

Relay win Mount Ayr spent the entire season at the top of the Class 1A performance list in the 4x800 relay, and despite going through several lineup changes throughout the course of the season, the Raiders ended the season as the state champion in the event.

The Raiders ran 8:14.23 to top runner-up Belle Plaine by nearly three full seconds.

Freed, a senior, started the relay with a 2:04 carry.

Anderson kept the Raiders in contact with a 2:07 split, handing off to Dolecheck in second place.

Dolecheck steadily made up ground on Belle Plaine, eventually handing off to Larsen in the lead after a 2:00 split. Just two hours after winning the 3,200 meters, Larsen anchored in 2:01 to give the Raiders the win.

Larsen powered his way through his carry on the short rest.

“I was feeling pretty good for the first 400,” he said. “I was starting to really feel it coming around that third turn there. With 200 left, I was thinking, ‘I’m in first, can’t let these guys down.’”

Head coach Brad Elliott was happy to see a Raider relay finally win a state championship.

“There’s been some really good teams come close,” he said. “Making history like that, winning the first ever relay, it was really fitting for that group. They’ve worked really hard.”

But, the Raiders aren’t

done just yet.

“Hopefully a lot more to come,” Dolecheck said about the remaining Raider relays competing at state this weekend.

Nodaway Valley finished ninth in the race, running 8:32.56. The Wolverines missed a medal by just .02 seconds as Boyer Valley came out of the first heat to run 8:32.54.

Larsen cruises For the first six laps of the 3,200 meters Thursday morning, Larsen sat in second place, letting the leader do all the work.

Then, with 800 meters to go, Larsen shot out of a cannon, dropping a 1:05 seventh lap and gapping the field by about 40 meters within a span of 200 meters.

“I was just going to try to stay relaxed, stay in that second or third spot for the first six laps and then I knew if I was going to pass them, I just wanted to get it over with,” he said. “I was just trying to separate myself there. I think it worked out pretty well.”

After a disappointing end to his cross country season in the fall that saw him drop out of the state meet with a stress fracture, Larsen relished the opportunity to display his talents as an individual at the state meet.

“It was really kind of a redemption race for him with a disappointing end to his fall at cross country,” Elliott said. “It was one of those events where he wanted to go out and make a statement.”

Nodaway Valley freshman Shane Breheny placed 16th in 10:28.52.

Dolecheck ended the day for the Raiders with a fourth-place finish in the 400 meters.

championship relay team were crushed.

“I’d say crushed would be a good word,” Wolfe said.

“I mean, I think if we don’t drop the baton, we’re running right for a state title.”

But, the Panthers didn’t just give up.

Instead, little by little, the Panthers clawed their way back into the race.

Despite the mishap with the baton, Briley clocked a 2:05 split, handing off to McDermott in 11th place.

McDermott ran 2:07, moving the Panthers into 10th place in the process. Next came Phipps, who ran 2:01 on his leg, moving Creston back into contention with the chase pack.

Wolfe anchored in 1:54,

momentarily taking the Panthers into third place, before ultimately finishing fourth in their heat in 8:10.12. Spirit Lake Park, running out of the first heat, finished third overall, bumping Creston to fifth overall.

Center Point-Urbana won with a time of 7:59.20.

“I think it just shows how much character we have, how much heart we have for each other,” Phipps said. “A lot of other teams that drop Phipps the baton, they’d fold. We showed character.

Crushed would be a word to describe it, but that showed heart. Heart is not giving up when the going gets hard.

“It wasn’t the dream we wanted, but we showed a lot

of people around here that Creston’s not here just to run, but to be a team.”

Even with the baton mishap, Creston ran the second fastest time in school history, just one second behind the school record time of 8:09.07.

“We move on from this and we take whatever positives we can from this,” head coach Pat Schlapia said. “I’m very proud of those boys and how they handled themselves. We showed what Creston track is all about.”

Taking positives from the race didn’t mean it was any easier for the Panthers to swallow what happened, though.

“When we got back to the fieldhouse, there were tears to be shed,” Schlapia said.

“That’s fine. That’s OK. You let those emotions out.

You don’t hold that in. That shows how much we cared for each other as a relay and how much we cared to suc-

T:6.75"

ceed. We ran our best.”

Schlapia said the emotions felt by the team following the race just goes to show how far this group has come in the past three years.

“Two years ago, we were tickled to death to be qualifying,” he said. “Last year, we wanted improvement.

This shows the progress we’ve made. We were shooting for the gold. Things happen. We’re at the point now where we’re disappointed with a fifth-place finish in the state.

“When they say sports breeds character, this is a life lesson,” Schlapia continued.

“When adversity happens, how is a person going to rise from it? I think our boys dealt well with it.”

The Panthers return to action on the track today with the 4x400 relay prelims at 7:40 p.m.

The ‘ultimate’ cardio and endurance workout feels more like play

E-cigarettes may not be the best option for smoking cessation

By SARAH BROWN

CNA staff reporter sbrown@crestonnews.com

Since its introduction to the U.S. market in 2007, a debate has ensued as to whether or not e-cigarettes are a smoker’s cessation tool or gateway device.

E-cigarettes are designed to resemble an actual cigarette. Instead of burning tobacco, e-cigarettes vaporize a nicotine solution which is inhaled by users — an activity referred to as vaping.

E-cigarettes as a cessation tool Karla Akers, community tobacco prevention coordinator, Cass County Public Health, said when people

Behind the smoke screen

make the choice to smoke ecigarettes, they are not curing themselves of nicotine addiction.

Akes said one of the main benefits of e-cigarettes is that second-hand smoke, a cancer-causing carcinogen, is not spread to others. However, she believes the bad outweighs the good.

“There could still be cancer-causing risks,” Akers said. “From a scientific view point, there is not a whole lot of research done on the effects of what you are vaping.

We just don’t know at this point.”

Akers said one of the top concerns of e-cigarettes is the rate of nicotine delivery.

“There is no way to know how much nicotine you are actually getting,” Akers said.

“You could have one (e-cigarette) one time that is low (dose) and one later that is high (dose).”

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of calls to poison centers involving e-cigarettes rose from

one per month in September 2010 to 215 calls per month in February 2014. More than half — 51.1 percent — of calls to poison centers involved children under the age of 5.

Forty-two percent of the poison calls involved people age 20 and older.

Akers said, e-cigarettes have some design flaws, and for children, are highly toxic.

Akers backed what poison experts state. Nicotine, a drug, in its concentrated liquid form, is significantly toxic, even in small doses.

E-cigarettes, which are

not childproof, feature flavors like bubble gum, grape, strawberry and cherry, making them appealing to kids.

Akers also said e-cigarettes have yet to be tested or proven to be safe as an alternate to traditional tobacco products or effective as a smoking cessation tool.

Regulation While e-cigarettes have not yet been regulated, a measure that will ban the sale of electronic cigarettes and vapor products to people under the age of 18 passed the Iowa Senate by

a 37-12 vote April 28, and passed the House by a vote of 74-23 the next day.

Akers said, consenting adults is one thing, but they should not be available for minors to purchase.

“There are so many questions that haven’t been answered,” Akers said.

Akers said, one brand of e-cigarettes tested positive for anti-freeze.

Akers said while they may appear “cool,” kids and young adults, they do not realize they are becoming addicted to nicotine.

Quitting Nancy Anthony, BSN, employee health and infection preventionist at Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston said she doesn’t think e-cigarettes help people quit.

“It’s just a different device,” Anthony said. “If you truly want to quit, you have to break the hand to mouth (action).”

Anthony said, there are resources available to help individuals — with or with-

out insurance — to quit smoking.

Chantix, she said, is one of the more popular methods of quitting smoking.

Chantix is a medication prescribed by a medical doctor and helps smokers quit smoking by blocking nicotine receptors in the brain.

This reduces the amount of dopamine released by the brain when smoking and decreases overall satisfaction gained from smoking.

Unlike Chantix, nicotine patches and gum are available as an aid to help smokers ween their way off nicotine. Chantix, unlike patches or gum, does not contain nicotine.

Additionally, other prescription medication, such as Wellbutrin— an anti-depressant — may aid in the quitting process.

Smoking cessation products and counseling may be

Coffee, type 2 and reality The theory of spontaneous generation — living creatures can emerge from inanimate objects — was considered good science into the 1600s. One Flemish physician created a recipe for a mouse (a soiled cloth plus wheat for 21 days).

This seems foolish now, but today anecdotal studies are still reported as absolute fact. The latest? Caffeinated coffee prevents Type 2 diabetes.

Using self-reported info from three huge studies, researchers concluded: People who drink 1 1/2 cups MORE coffee a day than usual over a four-year period cut their risk for Type 2 diabetes by 11 percent. (Three cups a day cuts the risk 37 percent.) And conversely, folks who eliminate one or more cups a day increase their risk 17 percent. But the data don’t reveal if drinking more coffee boosts energy, so you work out more and that’s what cuts the risk, or if folks reduce coffee intake because of chronic insomnia, which is itself linked to an increased risk for Type 2 diabetes.

Other studies do show that you can reap anticancer, anti-dementia and longevity benefits from consuming caffeine, especially if you’re a fast caffeine metabolizer. That means you don’t experience headaches, abnormal heartbeats, anxiety or gastric upset after a few cups of coffee. (If you have these reactions regularly, you don’t reap those benefits.) But if you want to dodge Type 2 diabetes, start by avoiding the Five Food Felons, walking 10,000 steps daily, getting seven to eight hours of sleep nightly, and

reducing stress. Then enjoy a cup or three of Joe (if you’re a fast metabolizer).

LAUGHING MEMORY A doctor, wearing a long, white lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck, walks into a bar with a very large, blue parrot on his shoulder.

“Wow!” says the bartender, “Where in the world did you get that?”

“Over at the hospital,” says the parrot. “They’re running all over the place.”

Well, if you chuckled at that one, chances are you’ll remember it, at least for a little while. A small, controlled study recently found that a good laugh is associated with improved shortterm recall.

How can laughing do that? It triggers the release of feel-good hormones called endorphins, and maybe a little dopamine and oxytocin, too. You relax, and most important, that suppresses the stress hormone cortisol. (Exercise and meditation also can do that, but we’re focusing on funny here.) When cortisol is suppressed, your blood pressure goes down and circulation increases. That reduces inflammation, muscle tension and associated pain.

You improve overall oxygenation of the body and brain, and that triggers better mental clarity.

Dr. Mike’s Center for Integrative Medicine uses laughter to help treat stress

and relieve pain. Laughter Leaders report that the folks in the class gather in a circle and, feeling rather foolish, say, “Ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” But soon they can’t help but laugh at each other, and once the giggles start, they are very hard to stop.

So ... a doctor walks into a bar, and a nurse says, “I wish he’d learn to duck.”

Bet you’ll remember at least one of those!

FLOWERS ON YOUR PLATE When Jim Henson voiced Flower Eating Monster on “The Julie Andrews Hour” (1973), he launched the career of a demon Muppet who played in The Vile Bunch backing up Alice Cooper on “The Muppets Show.” But (and you can ask Alice Cooper) eating flowers isn’t really a monstrous idea. Many blooms deliver a healthy dose of anti-aging phenolic compounds, such as chlorogenic acid and flavonoids (they’re anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory).

But you can’t just munch away on any old flower.

Some are toxic, some taste terrible, and some have been grown with pesticides or in soil laced with heavy metals (from now-defunct coal-fired power plants).

For safe flower-flavors: Always look up a flower using its botanical name (check first, eat later) and never eat any flower that hasn’t been grown in or-

ganic soil using organic fertilizer and in a pesticide-free and heavy-metal-free zone.

(Tip: Remove heavy metals from soil by growing ragweed for a season, then recycle plants carefully.) That means no roadside flowers and nothing from florists, nurseries or garden centers.

And anyone with allergies or asthma should taste flowers one at a time, in small quantities, to make sure they don’t trigger a reaction.

For tasty dishes: Add blooms to stir-fry (flowers from herbs, such as basil, garlic, borage, rosemary, fennel are all delicious) or salad (nasturtium and lavender are favorites), or use as a side dish (think stuffed squash blossoms; and cauliflower and broccoli tops are flowers). Also stick with petals (violets are an exception) for the most pleasing tastes.

HOW DO YOU CLASSIFY OBESITY? A couple of years ago, picky eaters learned they had a “selective eating disorder” and were relieved of guilt about their limited tolerance for food’s appearance, smell and texture.

They could look at their nutritional challenges realistically and find solutions. That new classification seemed to work. So last year, when the American Medical Association classified obesity as a disease, public health officials and doctors were hopeful it would provide more than 200 million overweight and obese North Americans with an understanding of the seriousness of their condition and how to address it.

Well, that worked at the Cleveland Clinic, where an innovative program has

helped employees lose more than 400,000 pounds! But it’s backfired for other folks; seems “overweight and obesity as a disease” flips a “not my fault, nothing I can do” switch and makes people feel it’s pointless to watch how much or what they eat.

Being overweight or obese is a disease with a set of associated symptoms: elevated LDL cholesterol; depression; digestive woes; and bodywide inflammation that increases cancer risk, brain drain, sexual dysfunction, diabetes and skin issues — all things you can prevent, reverse or treat with lifestyle changes. So if you’re overweight or obese, don’t wait for a magic pill to cure you.

—Start a walking program (pedometer, please), aiming for 10,000 steps a day.

—Eat seven to nine servings of veggies and fruits a day.

—Cut out saturated and trans fats, added sugars and syrups, and any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole.

Enjoying healthy choices will give you a younger RealAge and the longer, happy life you deserve.

WHO’S DROPPING THE BALL It’s the start of your 9-year-old’s youth baseball season. He’s at bat — a swing and a miss. The 2-2 pitch hits the dirt and it gets by the catcher. Your kid heads for first base ... and the catcher’s throw to first goes into the outfield. Your runner goes for second base, but he forgets to slide, and the right fielder picks up the ball, throws to second and ... he’s out. Another season has started, with lots of op-

portunities and lots of errors (pretty common for beginning baseball players).

Another situation in kids’ sports in which there’s a lot of opportunity and a lot of errors is on the sidelines.

Hot dogs, sodas, French fries, cookies and chips are piled high during practices and games, cancelling out the health benefits of participation in team sports, and making it harder for kids to think about the right move, like sliding into second.

With childhood obesity on the rise, it’s time to redo the menu (for participants and spectators). Parents can draw up a menu plan, whether they bring food to the game or a vendor supplies it, that puts healthy choices in play and lands sodas and fatty, sweet processed foods on the disabled list.

Foods and beverages that hydrate and energize include: homemade fruit and yogurt ice pops; fresh fruit — especially potassiumrich bananas; Greek yogurt with blueberries (add them yourself); water (every 20 minutes); celery filled with peanuts-only peanut butter; hummus and 100 percent whole-wheat pretzels, and much, much more. Now your kids will be safe at the plate! *** Mehmet Oz, M.D. is host of “The Dr. Oz Show,” and Mike Roizen, M.D. is Chief Wellness Officer and Chair of Wellness Institute at Cleveland Clinic.

It’s the ultimate

By BAILEY POOLMAN

of Leon, formerly of Creston, started an ultimate group in Creston, which meets twice a week in spring Sometimes, working out and summer. doesn’t have to be boring.

“Drew and I learned how Thanks to an idea plantto play the game at church ed during a Creston sumcamp about five years ago,” said Steven. “We both really liked the concept of the game, and the great workout, too.”

Ultimate is a game played with a disc similar to a Frisbee. The disc is thrown to players and must be caught in the end zone, like football, but with rules pertaining to play.

Ultimate group After camp, Dobbs and Steven sent mass messages through text and Facebook with information about when and where games would be held.

“Not knowing we would have anyone show up, one Sunday we went to the Early Childhood Center and a group of about 12 guys came to play,” Steven said. “And, we have been playing almost every week since.”

When Dobbs and Steven created the ultimate group, they played once a week.

“At first we only played once a week on Sunday afternoons,” Dobbs said.

“About a year ago, we thought, ‘How cool would it be to play under the lights?’

So, after a few phone calls, we were able to play twice a week.”

Ultimate players can throw discs 2:30 p.m. Sundays at the track at Burton R. Jones Education Complex, 901 N. Elm St., and 8 p.m. Tuesdays at Bill Sears Complex on East Clark Street.

“I started playing three summers ago when Steven CNA photo by BAILEY POOLMAN and Dobbs started organizTony Henry of Creston jumps and catches a disc during ing it,” said Tony Henry of an ultimate game May 6.

time, and I get to hang out with friends and family that I normally wouldn’t be able to due to busy schedules.”

Ultimate fitness Despite the name, Creston’s ultimate group is less focused on competition than the fun and fitness aspects.

“If you’re looking for something super aggressive, it isn’t the game for you,” said Russel Finehout of Creston. “It kind of caters to all ages.”

Aside from including elements of fun and competition, ultimate burns calories.

According to MyFitnessPal, a fitness website and phone application, someone actively participating the entire game can burn on average up to 800 calories an hour.

One specific fitness goal for ultimate is endurance cardio.

“It is specifically endurance,” Finehout said, “meaning, the more you play, the longer you’ll be able to do things that require a large amount of endurance.”

Dobbs said ultimate helped him on the path to fitness in more ways than one.

“Ultimate has helped me achieve and maintain a healthier weight,” Dobbs said. “It has also helped with my cardio and endurance.”

Ultimate play Ultimate was invented in 1967 at a New Jersey High School, then became an intercollegiate sport in 1972.

By 1980, the game had gone international.

The Creston group averages 12 players divided into two teams. Occasionally, there are more players, with the most being 39.

“There is always new people coming and going, which adds to the fun in the competition,” Tony said.

“It never gets ‘normal,’ so to speak.”

Play begins with a toss of a disc to the other team across the field. Players who

hold the disc cannot move until they pass it to another player. The goal is to pass the disc until it reaches the team’s end zone.

billable by some insurance companies.

“It depends on the insurance,” Anthony said.

For anyone not covered by medical insurance, Iowa Department of Public Health has Quitline Iowa available as a resource.

The toll-free number, 1-800-QUIT-NOW, offers free and low-cost tools for individuals looking to quit smoking.

“I have heard good and I have heard bad (about quitline),” said Anthony.

According to their website, more than 22,000 people have sought services through Quitline Iowa since 2011. Anthony said quitting may be more difficult for some with a counselor who is over the telephone.

But, quitting for good comes down to one thing: “They have to be the ones that want to quit,” Anthony said.

ENTERTAINMENT Camp time for kids Dear Readers: Have your kids been asking to go to a SUMMER CAMP? Summer camps can be great experiences for kids. They can try new things, make new friends and create memories to last a lifetime. Here are some things to think about when choosing a camp: First, pick which type of camp you want to send your child to — a sleep-away camp, day camp, specialty camp, etc.

There are many to choose from.

Once you have narrowed down your choices, look into whether the camp is licensed or accredited. There are different standards for each.

Ask questions! What training does the staff have? Do they go through background checks? How are medications handled? What is the ratio of campers to staff? If it’s a sleepaway camp, are campers left unsupervised?

Most important, you have to feel comfortable sending your child there. So ask any questions that concern you, and find the best fit for your family.

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

Hints from Heloise San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: Here’s my travel hint to research a destination while planning your trip. Preplanning a general outline of what you want to do is very helpful. But leave room in your schedule to try things you come across while out.

Ask around, too. Locals often know the best off-the-beatenpath places to visit. — Kathy in Florida PARKING PROBLEMS Dear Readers: Here are a couple of reader responses to the hint about leaving your windshield wipers up to help you find your car in a parking lot: • Dona L. wrote: “I try to park facing away from the store. Cuts the rows to search in half.”

• Sarena B. wrote: “Here is what I do: I park next to a cartreturn area. There are a lim-

ited number of them to search if you really lose your car, and returning the cart is simple.”

Thanks for the great ideas!

Keep those letters coming! — Heloise PHONE REMINDERS Dear Heloise: I like to use the calendar on my phone to remember appointments, birthdays, etc. My favorite part is that I can set an alert to remind me ahead of time.

All you have to do is look at the options when you input something into your calendar.

Choose “alert” and then decide when you want a reminder: a day, a week, etc. An alarm will go off at the specified time to remind you. No more forgetting things! — Patrick in San Antonio ZIPPERED SHEET BAGS BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker Dear Heloise: My hint for reusing zippered sheet bags: Use them instead of boxes for wrapping Christmas gifts, such as clothing, when mailing them out of state. The clothing stays folded, it’s squared off enough to wrap nicely, and the bag weighs less than a cardboard box, which helps to keep the shipping cost lower. — Diane S., Reading, Pa.

Horoscope Saturday, May 24, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Hold your temper today, because unpredictable things will occur that cause you to lash out at others. Avoid nasty power struggles. Also avoid dark alleys and crime-ridden areas.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Something behind the scenes that is hidden will surprise you today. It could trigger arguments with others, especially with those who want to lay blame. Be careful.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be patient with others, because someone, probably a female, will say or do something you least expect.

It could lead to arguments about shared property or who is responsible for things.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If you have a difference of opinion with someone today, and this is likely, it will be public. Others will notice.

Therefore, think about this before you open your mouth, because you can never take your words back.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans will be interrupted, delayed or canceled today. Similarly, plans related to higher education, publishing and the media will hold some surprises.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Make friends with your bank account to know what is happening now, because something unpredictable could take place. Be especially vigilant about someone’s wealth for which you are responsible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A female partner or friend will surprise you today or demand something from you. If you can postpone this discussion, you won’t regret it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Power outages, computer crashes and canceled meetings are some reasons your work day will be interrupted today.

Work equipment might break down. Caution!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accidentprone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Know where they are at all times, and remove them from hazardous situations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Small appliances might break down today, or minor breakages could occur.

Domestic quarrels are likely,

because unpredictable things occur. Patience is your only recourse.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day, so slow down and take it easy. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Heated arguments might distract you and make you lose focus.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Guard your money and possessions today. Things are unpredictable. You might find money; you might lose money.

Something you own could be

lost, stolen or broken.

YOU BORN TODAY Many of you are involved in the politics or social issues. You are effective in doing so because you are skilled in expressing yourself. And you do have your opinions! Generally, you fight for the side of the underdog.

This year something you’ve been involved with for nine years will end or diminish in order to create room for something new to enter your world. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
