Within 48 hours the Creston Police Department responded to two accidents involving a moped or scooter this week.

While there were no fatalities or critical injuries in the crashes, Creston Police Chief Paul Ver Meer said motorists need

to drive defensively to avoid a serious incident.

“We tend to see it more when the kids are out of school for the summer,” Ver Meer said.

“They are out during the day, which is typically during times of heavier traffic volume.”

According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, a moped or motorized bicycle license can be obtained after passing a vision screening and

the operator knowledge test. If the operator is under 16 years old, he or she must successfully complete an Iowa-approved course in moped education.

Ver Meer said moped and scooter drivers are required to follow the same traffic laws as a standard vehicle. This includes speed limits and properly navigating lanes to pass or turn.

“They need to make sure they have the orange flag attached to it and make sure they are wearing helmets,” Ver

After wet weather caused construction setbacks for the Green Valley State Park trail extension last summer, a rainy spring has caused more delays this year.

Alan Carr, park ranger at Green Valley State Park, said the rain has kept workers from pouring any new trail this spring, although they have been able to do some work on grading and pouring culverts.

“The good news is, when the weather’s decent Carr they’re out there working,” he said. “The bad news is it’s not been very decent.”

Carr said he could see the completion date edging into the fall of this year, which would be a year later than originally anticipated.

After the concrete is poured, he said there is additional work finishing and seeding the shoulders. Carr said the crew could possibly pour 800 to 1,000 feet of concrete a day once the ground isn’t wet.

“We certainly hope there’ll be a big enough break sometime this season,” he said. “If we get into a dryer period where it only rains once and awhile, they could go pretty fast.”

When complete, the extension will stretch nearly three and one-half miles, connecting McKinley Park to the campgrounds at Green Valley Lake. About 3,000 feet of the trail was poured last year.

Iowa court allows remote dispensing of abortion pill DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has struck down a restriction that would have prevented doctors from administering abortion-inducing pills remotely via video teleconferencing, saying it would have placed an undue burden on a woman’s right to get an abortion.

Iowa is one of only two states that offers so-called telemedicine abortions — Minnesota offers them on a smaller scale — and doctors at Iowa’s urban clinics that perform abortions had been allowed to continue offering the remotely-administered abortions while the ruling was pending.

Planned Parenthood’s local affiliate, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, had sued the Iowa Board of Medicine over its 2013 decision that would have required a doctor to be in the room with a patient when dispensing abortion-inducing medication.

The board cited safety concerns when it passed the rule requiring a physical examination, but Planned Parenthood and other critics said it was just another attempt by abortion rights opponents to make it harder for women to get abortions. They said the Iowa board’s restriction particularly would have made it harder for women in more rural areas who don’t live near the few urban clinics where doctors who perform abortions are based.

“Medical experts opposed this law because it harms women by blocking access to safe medical care,” Planned Parenthood of the Heartland CEO Suzanna de Baca said in a statement. “When it comes to health care, politics should never trump medicine.”

She said a woman’s ability to make her own health care decisions, including the right to obtain an abortion, is a personal liberty guaranteed in the Iowa Constitution.

The court agreed with Planned Parenthood’s argument that the rule would have placed an unconstitutional burden on women by requiring a doctor’s physical presence in the room.

“Because the Board agrees the Iowa Constitution protects a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy to the same extent as the United States Constitution, we find the rule violates the Iowa Constitution,” the justices wrote.

They found that since the medical board has approved telemedicine for other medical procedures without a doctor’s presence, “the board appears to hold abortion to a different medical standard than other procedures.”

The board has denied that the rule was politically motivated. Its executive director, Mark Bowden, said the board adopted the rule because it believes dispensing abortion drugs without a doctor present is an unsafe medical practice, “not to place an undue burden on women who choose to terminate their pregnancies.”

He said the board will discuss the ruling at its meeting next month to determine how it applies to board regulations.

Since the decision interprets rights under the Iowa Constitution based on application of U.S. Supreme Court rulings and federal constitutional rights, there is no federal appeal of the ruling, a spokesman for the Iowa Attorney General said.

Meer said. “It may not look cool, but helmets help save lives.”

Ver Meer said residential areas tend to have a higher possibility for a moped accident because drivers are backing out of driveways

and passing through multiple intersections.

“Motorists need to drive defensively,” Ver Meer said. “Make sure to do a double check at intersections before you proceed.

They are smaller vehicles, so you might miss them at first glance.”

World shocked at enduring racism, gun violence in US BEIJING (AP) — Often the target of U.S. human rights accusations, China wasted little time returning such charges following the shooting at a historic black church in South Carolina that left nine people dead. Elsewhere, the attack renewed perceptions that Americans have too many guns and have yet to overcome racial tensions.

Some said the attack reinforced their reservations about personal security in the U.S. — particularly as a nonwhite foreigner — while others said they’d still feel safe if they were to visit.

Especially in Australia and northeast Asia, where firearms are strictly controlled and gun violence almost unheard of, many were baffled by the determination among many Americans to own guns despite repeated mass shootings, such as the 2012 tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults.

“We don’t understand America’s need for guns,” said Philip Alpers, director of the University of Sydney’s GunPolicy.org project that compares gun laws across the world. “It is very puzzling for non-Americans.”

A frontier nation like the U.S., Australia had a similar attitude toward firearms prior to a 1996 mass shooting that killed 35. Soon after, tight restrictions on gun ownership were imposed and no such incidents have been reported since.

Ahmad Syafi’i Maarif, a prominent Indonesian intellectual and former leader of Muhammadiyah, one of the country’s largest Muslim or-

ganizations, said the tragedy shocked many.

“People all over the world believed that racism had gone from the U.S. when Barack Obama was elected to lead the superpower, twice,” he said. “But the Charleston shooting has reminded us that in fact, the seeds of racism still remain and were embedded in the hearts of small communities there, and can explode at any time, like a terrorist act by an individual.”

A 21-year-old white man, Dylann Storm Roof, is accused of fatally shooting nine people at a Bible study at the historically black Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. An acquaintance said Roof had complained that “blacks were taking over the world.”

Racially charged shootings in the U.S. have received widespread global attention.

Prominent Malaysian social commentator Marina Mahathir said many in her country find it puzzling why the U.S. government won’t restrict gun ownership laws. The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms.

“We are mystified by the freedom of guns there. It’s a bizarre idea that everyone should have their right to arms,” said Marina, the daughter of former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

Indian writer and documentary filmmaker Sohail Hashm said the American gun culture was linked to racial discrimination and America’s insistence on being the global policeman.

“Everybody (in America) loves to have guns. This is the dominant culture because this is what they have built,”

“Helping Celebrate Life”

freedoms that are not only unsuited to China but potentially disastrous.

Recalling the recent killings of Chinese and other foreign students in the U.S., office worker Xie Yan said he was still eager to visit the U.S., but would be “extremely careful” there.

Xie said he had heard much about racism in the U.S., but was uncertain about the underlying dynamics.

“We tend to see the U.S. as a violent place, but I don’t think we understand a lot about racism there. Chinese are free to study, visit and live there so it doesn’t feel like we’re discriminated against,” Xu said while waiting for a train on Beijing’s busy subway line 1.

Like Australia, China has had its problems with racial and ethnic discrimination.

China is overwhelmingly dominated by one ethnic group, the Han, and activists decry the lack of awareness about discrimination in jobs and housing faced by minorities such as Tibetans and Turkic Muslim Uighurs from the northwest.

Chinese police have been accused of heavy-handed tactics against those labeled separatists or terrorists, although such measures appear to be supported by most Chinese.

In Japan, discrimination tends to be based less on skin color than on national origin, resulting in biases against Chinese and Koreans, said Hiroko Takimoto, 41, a patent attorney in Tokyo.

Hashmi said. “And with guns available so freely, is it any surprise that such incidents happen?”

In Britain, the attack reinforced the view that America has too many guns and too many racists. The front-page headline of The Independent newspaper said simply, “America’s shame.”

The newspaper said in an editorial that America seems to have moved backward in racial relations since Obama’s election. It said the “obscene proliferation of guns only magnifies tragedies” like the church shooting.

In China, the official Xinhua News Agency said the violence in South Carolina “mirrors the U.S. government’s inaction on rampant gun violence as well as the growing racial hatred in the country.”

“Unless U.S. President Barack Obama’s government really reflects on his country’s deep-rooted issues like racial discrimination and social inequality and takes concrete actions on gun control, such tragedy will hardly be prevented from happening again,” Xinhua said in an editorial.

On China’s Twitter-like Weibo microblogging service, some users compared the United States to lawless Somalia and said racial discrimination was fueling violence and high crime rates.

Many reflected the official view that gun ownership and violent crime are byproducts of Western-style democratic

Panthers get defensive in Panthers split with Monarchs sweep of Monarchs

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Three sparkling defensive plays put the finishing touches on a doubleheader sweep for the Creston softball team here Thursday night.

After beating Denison-Schleswig 6-2 in the opener with Haylee LaMasters getting the win and Taylor Briley stroking two of the team’s six hits, Briley was in the pitching circle in the second game.

In Creston’s sixth inning, Briley doubled on a shot to the fence, and LaMasters followed with her seventh home run of the season, just to the right of the 210foot sign LaMasters in center. Two more runs in the inning gave Briley a 9-3 cushion as she took the ball for the Denison-Schleswig’s seventh inning.

Opposing pitcher Paige Lansink started with a hard hopper up the middle. Shelby Palser, playing second base in the nightcap, ranged far to her right, planted and fired a strike to LaMasters at first for the first out.

That drew the first of three outbursts of appreciation from the Panther crowd that inning.

Creston shortstop Taylor Briley reaches to tag DenisonSchleswig pinch-runner Allyssa Ertz for an out on a stolen base attempt after taking the throw from catcher Natalie Mostek during Creston’s 6-2 victory in Thursday’s doubleheader opener. Briley also pitched the second game victory and had three hits for the night.

treated and reached as high as she could to secure a running catch for the second out.

Leadoff batter Payton Lee then drove the ball into the right-center gap that appeared to be headed for extra-base hit territory.

But center fielder Josie Sickels was breaking toward the ball on contact, and flagged it down at full speed for the catch as teammate Alyssa Higgins was closing in from right field.

“It was an amazing way to end it, knowing that your defense can make great plays behind you,” Briley said.

“That’s a great feeling.”

LaMasters, while not at her sharpest in the opener with three walks and a hit batter, got the win nonetheless with nine strikeouts in a five-hitter. She was ap-

preciative as Briley for the steady play behind her.

“I didn’t really have a good night pitching,” she said. “I was not hitting my spots very well and kind of got down on myself. But I had to remind myself that I had really good infield and outfield to back me up, so I just put it where I was supposed to hit it.”

Creston coach Mike McCabe said his pitchers have outstanding support.

“Shelby made a couple of nice plays on little flares, and the ground ball there Palser Please see SOFTBALL, page 5A

Samantha Pick of Denison-Schleswig reaches to tag home plate as Creston catcher Natlie Mostek leans to apply the tag as Pick scored on a double by teammate Sadie Peterson in the first game Thursday. Mostek had four hits for the night as Creston swept the Monarchs, 6-2 and 9-3.

The Creston baseball team extended its Hawkeye 10 Conference winning streak to four games here Thursday by winning the opening game of a varsity doubleheader against Denison-Schleswig.

The Panthers came from behind to win 3-2 in the opener, before Denison-Schleswig earned a split with a 7-2 win in the nightcap.

“I think the kids were hungry to get that fifth one,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said.

“That’s what’s good about it. A lot of times, teams might be satisfied with splitting this thing. But we were hungry. We wanted to get that second win. We played and battled and battled and they just got the better of us at the end there.”

The Panthers benefitted from a pair of sparkling efforts on the mound from starting pitchers Jaden Driskell and Chase Shiltz.

Driskell tossed a three-hitter with e i g h t strikeouts and only two walks in the opening 3-2 win Driskell over the Monarchs.

After giving up a pair of runs in the top of the third inning on a Sean Houston two-out, two-run single, Driskell retired 11 of the next 12 batters he faced, with just a walk to Houston otherwise.

Driskell gave up a single

to Connor Paulsen with one out in the seventh, but Kadon Hulett caught Paulsen trying to steal second base and then Driskell ended the game with a strikeout of Tyler Reynolds.

“Jaden had a really nice game,” Birchard said.

“Gave up three hits. He did a nice job. He had a couple of times where he looked like maybe he was losing his control a little bit, but he came back to it and did fine.”

Driskell also delivered a big hit in the bottom of the fourth inning to tie the game at 2-2.

After Brenden McDowell led off with a single, Chase Shiltz reached on an error. Driskell then ripped a two-run single into left field to knot the score.

“Jaden’s a really good hitter,” Birchard said.

“He’s only a freshman, but he’s mentally beyond his years when you talk about that. He’s the kind of kid who can find those gaps.”

Brody Frain led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a double to left field.

After Gavin Woods singled, Conner Pals reached on an error, which allowed Frain to score for the winning run.

“That was big to get that, sort of scratching it together,” Birchard said. “When you get the bottom of the order doing something, good things happen. You put a little pressure on the defense.”

Nightcap In the second game, three first-inning errors led to a run for Denison-Schleswig.

Shiltz ended that frame with a strikeout.

After inducing a ground-

er to Pals at shortstop to start the second inning, Shiltz t h e n struck out the next six batters he faced and struck out seven of Shiltz nine batters he faced from the first inning until the fourth inning.

For the game, Shiltz ended with 10 strikeouts and only one hit allowed in five innings of work.

But five walks, including three in a row in the fifth inning proved to be the difference in the game.

Shiltz was working in a groove until Denison-Schleswig head coach Don Lyons called timeout to visit with Aaron Mumm.

Mumm then worked Shiltz to a full count and drew a walk.

After the three straight walks, Nathan Promes delivered a two-run double to right-center field to break open a 3-0 lead for the Monarchs.

“Chase did a nice job,” Birchard said. “The fifth inning there, lost a little bit.

He had four walks in that inning. That’s uncharacteristic of him. We needed him. They got a couple extra off of him and then Brody came in and did a nice job, too.”

Frain met a similar problem in the seventh inning. After getting the first two batters out, Frain gave up a single and an intentional walk, before walking Taylor Thul.

Creston sophomore Brenden McDowell rounds third and scores on a Jaden Driskell single in the fourth inning of Creston’s 3-2 win over Denison-Schleswig in the first game of a varsity doubleheader Thursday. McDowell finished 1-for-1 in the win and hit an RBI double in the game two loss.

Golden State’s team trainer collects memories on title run I wasn’t able to see the Golden State Warriors complete their NBA championship Tuesday night at Cleveland, because I was gripped by the compelling 17-inning softball game in Afton, won

by Mount Ayr, 3-2.

But, Wednesday evening my luck turned for the better, in regards to the Warriors. A long time ago Mount Ayr athletic director Delwyn Showalter had sent me a tip that one of his former players, Drew Yoder, was an athletic trainer for Golden State.

What a perfect time to get in touch, 24 hours after hoisting the Larry O’Brien Yoder trophy!

So, about

Straight shots Larry Peterson sports writer

three hours after their flight from Cleveland touched down in Oakland, Drew gave me a generous amount of time to talk about the experience of winning a championship, and how the team celebrated afterward. It was a great chance for an insider to pull back the curtain and give CNA readers a glimpse of a big moment in professional sports.

A lot of it was already recounted in Thursday’s feature article, but here are a few nuggets I had left over: • Drew’s mother, Debbie, got to witness a historic night during

the regular season while in the Bay Area visiting her son. She was at the regular-season game when Klay Thompson set an NBA record with 37 points in one quarter.

He finished with 54 points in the win over the Sacramento Kings.

“I remember telling her before the game, it might not be much of a game,” Drew said. “It’s the Kings, and they aren’t doing very well. Well, Klay just went nuts and shot 13-of-13 from the field in that quarter. Afterward he signed her ticket and a box score of that historic third quarter for her.”

• If you think NBA MVP Steph Curry is amazing to watch on TV, you ought to see him in practice or pregame shootarounds, when the cameras aren’t rolling.

“It’s incredible what he does, and what he can make look so easy,” Yoder said. “You find

yourself saying, ‘Are you serious?’

Some of the shots he can make are just stupid. He’ll be making fadeway 3-pointers from 40 feet, throwing in three-quarters court shots. Now, when he misses a wide open shot in a game, I’m really surprised. That isn’t supposed to happen!”

• Coach Steve Kerr won five championships as a player under coaches like Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich. And he played for former Iowa coach Lute Olson at Arizona. No nonsense guys, for the most part.

But Yoder said, while Kerr can be all-business when it counts and he knows what buttons to push, he lets the guys have their fun, too. Team chemistry was “off the charts” great, he said.

“You know, Curry likes to clown around a little bit and he’ll be out

there in pregame throwing up halfcourt shots,” Yoder said, “and pretty soon he’s got everybody out there trying to match him, taking crazy shots.

“One day, Steve walked onto the court and just shook his head saying, ‘If Lute Olson was here, he’d have a fit!’ Steve Kerr is just a great guy to work for, whether you’re a player, or on the staff like us,” Yoder said.

• He credits older brother Brandon, head of sports medicine at Marquette University, for paving the way for his NBA adventure.

But it takes dedication. He works seven days a week for several months in a row, except for the All-Star break during the season, and the months of July and August Please see SHOTS, page 5A

late,” McCabe said. “Lexie got back to that ball, and Josie, I think she caught it on the (south) side of the scoreboard over there! I really like our outfield. Those three have really worked at it.”

Also in that game, Brenna Baker moved from second to third base and handled three plays flawlessly, including two of the outs in the sixth inning before Briley got a strikeout.

Offensively, LaMasters had two triples to right field as well as the home run to finish 4-of-6 for the night with three RBI. “When you have someone like that, you typically pitch them away. We do that, too,” McCabe said. “But what people don’t realize, or maybe don’t remember, is that’s her best part of the park. She’s maybe the best opposite field hitter I’ve ever seen. She just drives it.”

in the off-season.

Otherwise, it’s his duty to keep 15 guys healthy enough to be elite professional athletes, every day. In all, the Warriors were 83-20 this season (67 regular-season wins), and lost only four times at home.

“This is one of those jobs people think they’d like until they realize how much work and hours you put in, and sometimes the pay doesn’t equate too well to the hours,

DES MOINES (AP) — More than 1,500 Iowa workers are expected to lose their jobs as a result of the bird flu outbreak and the cost to the state’s egg industry alone will exceed $1 billion, Gov. Terry Branstad said Thursday in a letter seeking a major disaster declaration from President Barack Obama.

The lost jobs represent about half of Iowa’s workers in commercial poultry production operations, Branstad said.

A presidential disaster declaration would draw federal help in coordinating recovery efforts.

Branstad, in the letter addressed to Obama and the regional administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, asked for the declaration to cover Buena Vista, Sioux, Webster and Wright counties, the four hardest hit in the bird flu outbreak. Branstad said additional counties may be added.

“I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the state and the affected local governments and that supplementary federal assistance is necessary,” Branstad said.

The outbreak affects 77 infected sites in 18 Iowa counties. An estimated 33.7 million turkeys and chickens have died or were euthanized to prevent the virus from spreading further. The value of the lost birds is estimated at $83.6 million, Branstad said.

Calling it the worst animal disease outbreak in modern U.S. agriculture history, Branstad said the loss of production to Iowa’s egg industry alone is projected to exceed $1 billion.

Iowa produces more than 16 billion eggs a year, about 17 percent of the nation’s total.

Branstad said 438 workers already have sought unemployment benefits from the four worst hit counties. As cleanup and disposal of dead birds continues, many workers are still employed. However, once the disposal process is completed hundreds more

workers will not be needed until the turkey and chicken barns are back in operation.

Additional layoffs are expected by August and are expected to reach about 1,500 in the large commercial operations. Another 200 in small operations also will be unemployed. In addition, an estimated 100 people in the turkey industry who are self-employed will be out of work but ineligible for con- Branstad ventional unemployment compensation, Branstad said.

Egg-laying operations are expected to take one to two years to return to full operation once they are declared free of virus and begin restocking. Turkey barns can take from 12 to 14 weeks to recover once cleared for operation, he said.

Branstad is requesting unemployment assistance, crisis counseling, disaster case management and disaster legal services assistance. He said federal case management will give those affected a single point of contact to help access to a broad range of recovery resources.

“Through individual case managers, those impacted can get assistance in developing a recovery plan specifically tailored to their needs. This type of assistance, though difficult to quantify currently, is one of the most important recovery programs needed regarding this disaster,” he said.

The governor said a major disaster declaration also would allow the Federal Highway Administration to issue weight limit waivers on federal highways which will help in the disposal of millions of dead birds, some of which are being trucked to landfills and incinerators.

Nationally, 48 million birds have been killed or euthanized in 15 states as the virus swept from the West Coast into the Midwest this spring.

Travel stop can save a lot Dear Heloise: We do a lot of traveling between southern Texas and Ohio. We always check the coupon books at the REST AREAS, as they have some great money-savers on all types of motels. Only once have we had them refuse to honor a coupon, and it usually is a better discount than other companies. — Bob S., Galion, Ohio With summer just about to jump up and lots of us on the road, this is a money-saving hint I like! There usually is a plethora of information and help at the state rest stops, especially the ones just as you come into the state.

My husband, David, and I always stop, stretch our legs (our dogs Chammy and Henry, too), get some fresh air and I clean out the truck!

I really can see the deterioration of some of the older stones — the words and inscriptions are being lost. Do you have suggestions for the continued preservation of this important information? — Dennise R., Springfield, Mo. First, do no harm. A lot depends on the age of the headstone and the type of material it is made from: granite, marble, limestone or bronze. How has it been treated? What weather conditions is it subject to?

4 simple ways to protect yourself from cardiovascular disease (BPT) — Cardiovascular disease - damage to the heart and blood vessels claims more American lives each year than all forms of cancer combined, according to the American Heart Association. Yet simple preventive steps, such as getting a cardiovascular screening, can help you make strides toward keeping your heart and blood vessels healthy.

Plaque buildup in the arteries - known as atherosclerosis - is the main cause of cardiovascular disease.

When the blood vessels that deliver blood to and from the heart become blocked or damaged, it can affect the heart itself, causing heart disease or leading to stroke.

Heart disease is the most severe form of cardiovascular disease, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 27 million people have been diagnosed with it.

Awareness, prevention, testing and communication can help you manage cardiovascular disease risks.

Recognize and reduce risks.High LDL (bad) cholesterol and low HDL (good) cholesterol are

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about how coffee can perk up your sex life.

Well, as Maxwell Smart (Don Adams/Steve Carell) says, if you want to “Get Smart,” you “missed it by that much.”

What’s spot-on? Researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston found that men who consumed between 170 and 375 mg of caffeine a day (that’s two to three cups of coffee, or four to eight 12-ounce caffeinated waters) were about 42 percent less likely to report erectile dysfunction than those who consumed none. And “caffeine” is the operative word here. True, coffee is the No. 1 source of caffeine in the North American diet, but the study also counted caffeine from tea, sodas and sports drinks.

(But they missed chocolate by that much; one and a half ounces of 80 percent cacao dark chocolate has a third to half the caffeine of a cup of coffee.) And the association between caffeine and avoiding ED held up for men who were overweight, obese or who had high blood pressure (frequent triggers for ED).

So, guys, if you want to reduce your odds for ED, enjoy your morning (and afternoon) coffee -- a lot of additional benefits will come your way. Studies show that drinking coffee also decreases your risk for nine cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, age-related memory decline and Type 2 diabetes.

And check out other sources of natural caffeine: 1 cup of black tea has 14-70 mg of caffeine; 1 cup of green tea, 24-45 mg; 1 cup of iced tea, 11-47 mg; caffeinated water

among the most well-known risk factors that can lead to cardiovascular disease, but they’re not the only ones to be aware of. If you have untreated high blood pressure, a family history of cardiovascular disease, or diabetes, your risk of developing cardiovascular disease may be elevated, the Heart Association says.

Smoking and a sedentary lifestyle may also contribute to cardiovascular risks, and women past the age of menopause and men older than 45 can also have a higher risk of developing the disease.

You can reduce these well-known risk factors by: * Having your cholesterol tested regularly, and maintaining the levels your doctor recommends. * Being aware of family history. * Managing diabetes or other health issues that can lead to complications. * Quitting smoking, if applicable. * Sticking to a regular exercise routine. Consult your doctor to learn what exercises and activity level will be best for you.

Have a cardiovascular screening done.Early detec-

tion is vital to effectively treating cardiovascular disease; you’ll have a better chance to stay healthy if you catch the disease before you begin to experience symptoms. Cardiovascular screenings, such as those provided by Life Line Screening, are an affordable, easy and non-invasive way to detect possible problems in a patient’s blood vessels before they become more serious. The ultrasound testing looks inside a person’s arteries for signs of blockage, which can help detect cardiovascular disease early. In fact, a study

published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that such testing improved doctors’ overall ability to predict cardiovascular risks.

Cardiovascular screening is often recommended for people older than 55 who have risk factors. To learn more about cardiovascular screening, visit www.lifelinescreening.com.

Adopt vascular-friendly habits.While some risk factors such as age and genetics are beyond your control, you do have the power to influence others.

Certain lifestyle changes are known to benefit cardiovascular health, while delivering other health benefits as well. The American Heart Association recommends these heart- and blood-vessel-friendly lifestyle tips: * Eat a diet that’s low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sugar and salt. * Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains that are rich in fiber. Have fish at least twice a week, and incorporate nuts, legumes and seeds into your diet.

has 45-100 mg. Now, that’s getting smart!

SKIPPING MEALS LINKED TO ABDOMINAL WEIGHT GAIN If skip tracer Dog Chapman and wife Beth are on your tail, you must have skipped out on something pretty serious, because there’s a bounty on your head. But as unhealthy as it may be to have Dog hounding you, it’s even unhealthier to skip meals.

Research says regularly missing meals can pack on pounds, especially around your middle, where visceral fat cranks up inflammation and makes you vulnerable to a host of health problems, from diabetes and heart disease to dementia.

One study found that folks who ate a single meal per day had elevated levels of fasting glucose in the morning and a delayed insulin response (precursor to diabetes), compared with folks who ate three meals a day. In other words, skipping meals throws your metabolism out of whack.

And now a new lab study indicates that meal-skippers may have even more health challenges! When mice ate a single, calorie-restricted meal a day, they had elevated blood sugar and fluctuating insulin production, just like the people in the earlier study. But researchers went one step further: They then fed the mice a standard amount of food.

The previously meal-skipping mice became binge eaters! And before long,

in addition to wild fluctuations in glucose and insulin production, the bingers accumulated super-unhealthy fat cells around the abdomen. So, even if you’re dog-tired, make sure you eat small meals three times a day and have two healthy snacks (for a great meal/ snack plan, check out the Total 10 Program at www. doctoroz.com).

MICROBIOME AND HEALTH SOLUTIONS FROM EATING FNV Quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick (49ers) and Cam Newton (Panthers), wide receiver Victor Cruz (New York Giants), NBA superstar Stephen Curry (Golden State) and actress Jessica Alba (a good sport) want you to get hip to FNV. That’s Fruits ‘n’ Vegetables, the cool foods. To get their point across, those celebs have made “ads” for fresh produce (on YouTube). As first lady Michelle Obama says: “If folks are going to pour money into marketing unhealthy foods, let’s fight back with ads for healthy foods.”

Research shows most North Americans are FNVstarved: No state in the U.S. has over 50 percent of its population consuming fruit more than twice a day or vegetables over three times daily. We want you to wake up to how powerful an effect eating five to nine servings a day of FNV can have on your and your kids’ lives.

FVN are loaded with fiber and nutrients that provide fuel for the

trillions of bacteria in your digestive system (your gut biome). When your biome is balanced, it helps control weight, lowers insulin resistance, supports a healthy immune system and, get this, affects your mood and mental health. Plus, fiber in FNV controls cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and helps prevent colon cancer. And a healthy biome may help kids avoid developmental and learning problems. So aim for a daily fiber intake of around 25 grams daily for women and girls, and 31 to 38 grams for men and boys from whole grains, fruit, veggies and snacks like nuts or carrots.

Go long for FNV! ARE YOU A FAN OF TEAM WELLNESS? A funny thing happened on Dr. Mike’s way home from watching a last-second playoff victory by the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Chicago Bulls: He thought about eating a Cinnabon (didn’t, wouldn’t ever, but ...). True Cleveland fans know that rooting for the Cavs usually elicits a heightened stress response.

Then, two days later, he noticed how exhausted he was from the stress of watching the game and yet how much he was looking forward to the next one.

That made him realize how important it is to stay healthy (he exercises three days a week, walks 10,000 steps a day and eats well) if he were to keep going to these stressful games! And that made him wonder if we could come up with a similarly immersive experience that creates enthusiastic fans/participants for Team Wellness -- fans/participants who would come back season after season for

more physical activity and good nutrition; fans/participants who would then be able to manage the stress that emotional attachments cause without resorting to the consolation of a sugary, fatty treat.

So we’re asking you to join Team Wellness. You only need to play by five rules.

1. Ditch all trans and most sat fats; any added sugar or syrup; any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole.

2. Walk 10,000 steps a day.

3. Sleep seven to eight hours nightly, and meditate daily.

4. Avoid toxins like tobacco and BPAs (wash your hands after touching receipts).

5. Share laughter and love with friends and intimate partners.

Yhe rewards? A healthier, happier and longer life.

That’s the ticket!

HIGH-HEEL HAZARDS Steve Winwood may have thought the “Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” was, in 1971 slang, “groovy.” But the low moan of the highheeled girls that’s rockin’ emergency rooms across North America isn’t so melodic.

According to a new study from the University of Alabama Department of Public Health, from 2002 to 2012, the number of reported high-heel injuries doubled.

High-heel tip-overs caused 123,300 emergency-department visits, including 19,000 in 2011. Over 80 percent of those injuries were to the ankle or foot; around 20 percent involved the knee, torso, head or neck. Most of the time, the person limped away with a strain or sprain,

choose lean meats when you do eat meat, and opt for low-fat or fat-free dairy products. * Exercise at least 150 minutes per week, choosing moderate to intense activity. Or, if you’re able, do 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity like jogging or running every week. Do muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week.

Learn and communicate.While caring for your cardiovascular health is important at any age, risks rise with age. As you grow older, be aware of the signs of stroke and heart attack.

Talk to your doctor about your risks for cardiovascular and heart disease, preventive measures, and how to best detect and treat problems early.

If you’re at elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, or have it, get support from friends, family and social groups to help you maintain your cardiovascular health.

Support can help you stay on track with important lifestyle changes and make it easier to monitor your disease.

but 19 percent of the time, bone fractures occurred.

That doesn’t include the chronic discomfort, pain and sometimes long-term damage to joints, bones and soft tissue that happens to around 50 percent of wellheeled women. And the most surprising fact is that fully half of the injured don’t even make it out their front door; they’re injured at home!

Gals 20 to 29 are most likely to fall off their pedestals; those 30-39 are the second-most-frequent fallers.

You’d think this would make fashionistas consider alternatives, but the opposite’s true. Organizers of the chic Cannes Film Festival try to insist that all women walking the red carpet wear high heels (this year film producer Valerie Richter says she was initially turned away because she was wearing flats!). Maybe the festival should be renamed “Can’t,” and women should just say, “Au revoir.”

Get relief from sunburn this summer Sunburn is something nearly everyone will experience at least once in their lifetimes. Though men, women and children should look to prevent sunburn entirely, sometimes sunburns occur, making those exposed to too much sun uncomfortable and possibly even dealing with considerable pain.

Sunburn is marked by red, sensitive skin that can be hot to the touch. Inflammation and blistering may occur.

The Skin Cancer Foundation says that while sunburn may seem like a temporary irritation, it can cause long-lasting damage to the skin. Treating sunburn may require several different approaches.

• Get out of the sun the

moment you first feel irritation. Your skin may not be red, but irritation may be the first indication that you are being burned by the sun.

• Take cool baths or showers to relieve the pain and heat in the skin. Cool, damp towels also can do the trick.

• Use a moisturizing lo-

tion with aloe vera. Avoid moisturizers with petroleum, as they will lock in heat.

• The American Academy of Dermatology notes that sunburn may lead to dehydration. Drink plenty of water to keep your body well hydrated.

• Blisters may occur if

sunburn is particularly bad.

Do not succumb to the temptation of popping the blisters, as doing so may result in an infection.

• Take a dose of ibuprofen to reduce swelling and counteract the pain. Ibuprofen also may help prevent some long-term damage.

• If a blistering burn covers more than 20 percent of the body, seek medical attention. In addition, visit your physician if a sunburn is accompanied by fever and chills.

• Keep sunburn covered up with tightly woven clothing to aid in healing.

Sunburn can be painful and increase your risk for skin cancer, so prevention and treatment should be taken seriously
