Winborn resigns from city council

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

This week, Loyal Winborn, ward 2 city councilman, announced his resignation from Creston City Council.

Winborn — information technology systems networking instructor at Southwestern Community College for the past eight years — has accepted an IT director position at South Hamilton School District in Jewell located about 20 miles from Ames.

“I loved my job at the Winborn college,” Winborn said.

“They were one of the best employers I’ve ever had. But, this move will get the kids closer to grandparents and more services (for my son Evan) in Ames. It’s been a privilege and pleasure to serve on this council.”

Winborn’s final city council meeting will be July 1. He’s served on the council since January 2008.

It’s what’s for dinner Despite record high prices, local grocery store managers and Iowa Beef Industry say consumers continue to make beef a staple for dinner ■

G

round beef prices in the U.S. have soared 76 percent since 2009 and are now the highest on record while the size of the beef herd has dropped to its lowest numbers in at least six decades according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

But consumer habits have not shifted away from this staple food, which Creston HyVee Manager Chuck Irelan credits to a consistent effort by the beef industry to keep buyers informed.

“I think that the information has been out there enough that the increase in prices have not been a shock,” Irelan said.

“Customers have come in and know what to expect.”

The USDA predicts that beef prices will rise faster than almost any other commodity

this year.

Beef demand peaks during the summer, especially during the Fourth of July holiday. The to- Irelan tal herd has been diminished by drought in Texas and high feed prices. According to the USDA, the U.S. started the year with only 87.7 million head.

Cattle herds take time to replenish. A calf born in the spring of 2013 would be bred this year, might have a calf in 2015 and that calf couldn’t come to market until 2016.

The NPR-Truven Health Analytics Health Poll predicts the overall improvement of the economy will prevent consumers from getting priced out of the beef market.

“I have not seen anyone proclaim that we are rebuilding the herd,” said Iowa Beef Industry Council Executive Director

Nancy Degner. “What we are hearing from auction markets and producers, however, is there are fewer older cows going to market.”

Despite the price spike, both Irelan and Degner agree there are still multiple ways to keep beef on the menu in a cost-effective manner.

Jim Anthony, meat department manager at Fareway in Creston, said business has been good as customers prepare for the Fourth of July holiday.

Irelan said HyVee has continued to work for the best deals possible from their buyer to keep prices as low as possible for customers.

“Look at the cuts that are on feature,” Degner said. “All stores have ads that feature beef. If you find a cut that is good in price, buy extra, properly wrap it and store it.”

Irelan said steaks are always a popular choice this time of Please see BEEF PRICES, Page 2

Buried within the 959 pages of farm bill text, changes have been made by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that not only benefit low-income families, but, potentially local farmers, too.

In a report released by the USDA in March, the agency cited “further efforts to increase fruit and vegetable consumption by children” as their reason for increasing Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) cash value vouchers (CVVs) for Hynes children from $6 to $8 per month.

Karla Hynes, WIC/Maternal Child Health director at Women, Infants and Children, said the increase does not cover all of a child’s needs for fresh produce, but “it helps.”

Hynes said WIC works to promote eating

Former ISU AIDS researcher indicted for fraud

Harold G. Rezmer Montclair, Calif.

Harold G.Rezmer, 79, of Montclair, Calif., formerly of Creston, died June 15, 2014, after suffering a long illness.

Harold G. Rezmer was born in Bay City, Mich., and was married to JoAnn Bryce

of Pinconning, Mich. Jo Ann preceded Harold in death Oct. 28, 1990.

Harold is survived by his sons, Bruce (wife Jean) of Peoria, Ariz., and Brian (wife Lori) of Seaford, Va.; daughter Brenda (husband Phil) Ritchhart and grandsons, Kyle and Connor Ritchhart, all of Orient.

year for grilling, but he suggests trying different cuts from the rib eye steak to the chuck eye steak.

“Really, what we have been seeing more than anything else right now has been the convenient grilling items like brats, hamburgers and hot dogs.”

Degner said another way to save is to buy ground beef for cooking in bulk.

To learn about different

cuts of beef and get recipes for preparing them, the Iowa Beef Industry Council has a “butcher counter” link at www.beefitswhatsfordinner. com.

Irelan said customers realize it is not just beef prices that have been increasing.

The prices have been higher across the board.

“We hope people continue to put beef on the grill for the Fourth of July and that people recognize the value they get from beef,” Degner said.

fresh fruits and vegetables produced by local farmers.

For the months of June, July and August, WIC recipients also receive a $27 voucher through WIC’s Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (WIC FMNP) in addition to their monthly cash vouchers.

According to the USDA, WIC’s Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program was established by Congress in 1992 to provide fresh un-

prepared, locally grown fruits and vegetables to WIC participants, and expand the awareness, use of, and sales at farmers’ markets.

However, until now, access to the farmers’ market vouchers were limited.

“This is the first year all of our counties (Madison, Adams, Taylor, Union, Ringgold, Adair, Page, Decatur and Clarke) are issuing the (farmers’ market) vouchers,” said Hynes.

Hynes said she is thrilled the program helps local producers.

“You can taste the difference,” said Hynes. “It (produce) is farm-fresh and so much better and healthier for you.”

Benefit for local farmers Some of the money issued to WIC program participants is trickling into the

pockets of local producers.

At Creston Farmers’ Market, some producers accept WIC, USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or both.

One difference between WICs CVVs (for in-store use) and WIC FMNP vouchers (for farmers’ markets) is that CVVs limit program participants to certain foods, which exclude most certified natural and organic fruit and vegetables.

However, in addition to WIC’s FMNP vouchers, SNAP also allows their recipients to spend their benefits at local farmers’ markets.

Hynes said as m o r e farmers b e c o m e Wimmer aware of the program and more WIC participants discover the farmers’ markets, there is a lot of potential to increase business while benefitting the health of others.

Denny Wimmer of Arispe, who sells certified, naturally-grown fruits and vegetables, started accepting WIC FMNP vouchers in 2013.

Wimmer said the vouchers have contributed to approximately 10 percent of his sales and thinks the program is a good benefit to local farmers.

Dale and Tyler Raasch of Bridgewater Farms are currently working on obtaining a machine (similar to a credit card machine) to accept SNAP cards.

Through SNAP, the Raaschs are able to sell more of their certified organic poultry and eggs, and naturally-grown pork and beef.

“It’s definitely good for us,” said Tyler Raasch.

spent, not just in a high-profile case,” Grassley said.

The charges against Han were brought by Nicholas Klinefeldt, an attorney in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa, who noted in the indictment against Han that his findings were once viewed as “groundbreaking.”

Han is scheduled to make an appearance for arraignment 2 p.m. on Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Des Moines.

Han could face up to five years on prison for each charge.

At both Case Western and ISU, Han was the laboratory manager under Dr. Michael Cho, who was not implicated in the research fraud. Their research brought in a total of $19 million in grant money.

ISU has been working with the federal government to resolve the fallout from Han’s deceit.

On May 9, Grassley received a response to questions he had sent to NIH Director Francis Collins, who informed him that the agency had requested that ISU return nearly $500,000 to the federal government to compensate it for grant funds used to pay Han’s salary.

ISU has since repaid the federal government, according to university spokeswoman Annette Hacker.

Collins also told Grassley that media reports that $4 million of the grant money remained unspent was inaccurate, contrary to what an NIH official

had initially told reporters.

But he added that the “(NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) is currently working closely with ISU to ensure the appropriate and orderly closeout of all ISU projects identified in the ORI finding.”

According to Hacker, ISU “has sent proposals to NIAID on the phase-out of these particular research projects.

We are awaiting a response from NIAID.” If the proposals are approved, Hacker said, the university expects the projects to be closed by Oct. 31.

“Now we need to let the legal system do its work,” she said.

The program would add an additional 100,000 rooster pheasants per year to Iowa fields ■

(MCT) — A new upland conservation program could put an additional 100,000 rooster pheasants per year into Iowa fields.

“The program has been designed specifically for landowners who want to return pheasants to their property,” said Chris Hiher, one of eight Pheasants Forever farm bill biologists who are helping Iowa landowners with enrollment and questions.

Iowa’s pheasant population has steadily declined during the past 20 years primarily because of inhospitable weather and the loss of good habitat, as fields of grass, hay and small grains have been converted to corn and soybeans.

Beginning immediately, landowners can enroll in the Iowa Pheasant Recovery — State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement

(SAFE) program.

Fifty thousand acres have been allocated for enrollment in Iowa on a first-come, first-served basis as part of the federal Continuous Conservation Reserve Program.

Landowners in 77 of Iowa’s 99 counties are eligible to participate, with the exceptions generally being in areas less suitable for pheasant production along the Mississippi River and in southern Iowa.

Hiher said the SAFE program is more complex than a regular CRP enrollment because it requires a minimum of 20 acres, of which 25 percent must be planted to winter cover such as switch grass or shelter belts and another 10 percent to grain-type food plots.

Though winter cover and food plots — key components of sustainable pheasant populations — have long been recommended as part of CRP plantings, this is the first federal conservation program that requires them, Hiher said.

Plots as large as 160 acres are eligible for en-

Pheasant nesting success increases with the size of the bloc of habitat, he said.

Nest raiding predators such as raccoons, skunks and foxes have more difficulty finding nests in large blocs of cover, Hiher said.

Once the acres are fully enrolled and established, they could produce more than 100,000 additional roosters annually for hunters, Hiher said.

Perhaps the most important benefits, for all Iowans, are the water quality improvements and soil erosion reductions that are associated with grassland conservation, he said.

So far Iowans have enrolled about 4,100 acres in the program, leaving more than 45,000 available to landowners.

AMES (MCT) — The former Iowa State University researcher who resigned in disgrace after an investigation revealed he had fabricated AIDS vaccine research has been indicted on four felony counts of making false statements.

Dr. Dong Pyou Han tendered his resignation in October after a joint investigation by ISU and the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Research Integrity found he had contaminated rabbit blood with human antibodies to make it show promise in neutralizing strains of the HIV virus — apparent results that brought in millions of dollars of federal grant money.

Han was arrested Monday in Ohio, the state where he had worked on similar research at Case Western Reserve University before leaving for ISU in 2009.

“It’s encouraging to see an effort to increase oversight of taxpayer dollars,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement.

For months, Grassley had pressured federal agencies to explain why Grassley Han’s initial sanction — a three-year federal research ban — wasn’t stronger and whether any of the grant money would be returned.

“There should be more of this whenever federal research dollars are mis-

Cut college costs by the book Dear Heloise: I am a college student, and I am always looking for ways to cut expenses.

Instead of buying my COLLEGE TEXTBOOKS, I rent them. Many college bookstores have started renting textbooks for the semester.

You also can go online and find several companies that do it for a very reasonable price. Textbooks are a major expense, and limiting it can really help in the long run. — Jack in Illinois Jack, renting textbooks is a great idea! There are a few things to think about when renting textbooks. Writing and highlighting usually are frowned upon. If you do a lot of writing in the book, it can cause it to not be returnable, and you could be charged the full price.

Another thing to think about is whether you will want to keep the books. Certain books, like those in your particular major, could be handy to have around in the future.

If that is the case, you might want to buy a new copy.

A good hint is to get your book list each semester, go to the bookstore and just look at each book to decide if you should rent or buy it. Even if

Hints from Heloise you rent half of your books each semester, you will be saving a good amount of money.

— Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: My travel hint is that I always take a power strip (the plug with five or six outlets) to keep all my chargeable items in one place. Most cruise ships and hotel rooms don’t have many outlets, and I can plug in both our phones and tablets, and whatever else we have, in one place. Another advantage is when we get ready to leave, the chargers are all together, and we no longer stand the risk of leaving one behind. — Judi in Anaheim Hills, Calif.

EARPIECE CLEANING Dear Heloise: I enjoy reading your column in our little local paper, The (Huntingdon, Pa.) Daily News. Here is my helpful hint: If you wear one of the small cellphone headsets that just sticks in your ear and rests against your face, over time the tiny holes will get clogged with makeup and dirt. Just take a soft toothbrush and gently clean out the holes. — Peg K., Huntingdon, Pa. PICTURE THE TRAIL Dear Heloise: I love to go hiking. We have many parks in my city that have many trails. It can sometimes get confusing, especially if you are not familiar with the park. My hint is to take a picture of the trail map before starting out BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker on your hike. That way, if you get lost or turned around, you have something to reference.

— Tina in Texas FEEDING STATION Dear Heloise: I put my dog’s water and food bowls on a bathmat. It catches lots of grime. It can be put in the sink and scrubbed with a brush and dish liquid to clean. — A Reader, via email (c)2014 by King Features Syndicate Inc. BLONDIE® by Dean Young

(Family Features) — For most people, there is typically one main motivator for wanting to get in shape for the warmer weather months - they want to fit into the smaller, more revealing clothing of the season.

Whether it’s a new swimsuit they’d like to purchase in a smaller size or they just want last year’s shorts to fit more comfortably, getting a beach-ready body can often seem unattainable. But summer boasts an abundance of outdoor activities that take away the “chore” of getting in shape. Focus on the fun of the season, and before you know it, you will be fitting into your favorite summer wardrobe staples.

“Now that the weather is warmer, people are outside training more,” said KT Tape Founder Jim Jenson.

“It is important to have the proper training gear and equipment to avoid injury.”

Go take a hike Nothing allows you to take in the peace and tranquility of nature more than a long hike. This summer, incorporate many long hikes into your weekly rou-

HEALTH

Make summer fitness fun

tine and build up your endurance with this beneficial cardio exercise. Check with your county and state parks for trails and expand on your hiking skills, advancing in difficulty levels and length as the season progresses.

What it works: Hiking engages the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and gluts.

This activity also strengthens your abdominal core, especially while carrying a heavy pack.

Break a sweat, courtside All you need to increase your heart rate is a basketball and an empty court at the local park or school playground. Practice shooting, normal dribbling, dribbling while doing sit-ups and dribbling behind the back of your legs. Make it a weekly event to gather for a game with friends and you’ll forget you are even working out.

What it works: Basketball can be a full-body workout, but it mainly targets your triceps, shoulders, biceps and pectoral muscles.

Go for a swim While the summer days

often bring about occasions to relax by the pool, there’s no reason not to jump right in. Take refuge from the sun’s heat and burn calories at the same time by swimming. This exercise is a top choice for those with physical limitations or who find simple cardio activities - such as walking, hiking or jogging - difficult or painful.

What it works: Swimming works all major muscles groups, especially the shoulders, abdominals, legs, hips

and back.

When the weather warms up and spending hours at the gym sounds less appealing, give a few of these fun activities a try. For more fitness tips, visit www.elivingtoday.com.

Take care of your muscles By engaging in a workout routine, you’ve already proven that you care for your body. But do you have a care plan for the muscles that take you to your next level of fitness? Here are some ways to keep those hard working muscles in top shape so you can give it your all at every workout.

Warm up and cool down Regardless of the sport or activity you pursue, it’s always best to ease into it slowly and build your endurance as you go. Warming up can include light jogging, walking or performing the activity at a very slow pace.

At the end of your routine, be sure to lightly stretch out each major muscle group you worked.

Have a backup plan In case of injury, always have a reliable pain relief and support product on

hand, such as KT Tape, an elastic sports and fitness tape designed for muscle, ligament and tendon pain relief and support. It’s lightweight, comfortable to wear and can be used on many common injuries, such as lower back pain, knee pain, shin splints and tennis elbow. For more information, visit www.kttape.com.

Listen to your body If you should experience any sharp or sudden pains while exercising, don’t ignore the warning signs.

Working out through the pain may make a small injury much worse. As a general rule, if it feels wrong, stop the workout.

Engage in various activities A body involved in different exercises will call on different muscle groups. This type of cross training prevents overly stressing one area of muscle.

Allow the body to rest In order to achieve the maximum benefit of your workout, your muscles need proper nourishment. This means sleep is extremely important, but it also means

resting for a few days in between workouts. A proper rest period will give muscles time to heal.

Today’s trends in fitness For those who long for a little variety in their fitness routine, here are some new trends taking shape - for indoors and outdoors - that may be just what you need to take your fitness to the next level.

Body weight training This new trend in fitness works by using your own body weight as resistance, which can help you shape muscles, tone, increase flexibility and ultimately, burn fat.

High intensity interval training This routine is great for those who are short on time, requiring extreme exertion in short intervals followed by a shorter recovery time.

Yoga by air Yoga’s newest offering is called aerial or antigravity yoga, which combines classic yoga moves with acrobatics; all while being suspended in the air from a hammock.

about the risks of prescribing anti-ADHD medication right off the bat. Instead, they suggest “parent- and/ or teacher-administered behavior therapy as the first line of treatment.” Only when that approach fails and moderate to severe behavior problems persist should meds be considered — and then the only med that should be used is methylphenidate (such as Concerta and Ritalin).

But, unfortunately, 20 percent of docs say they use medication as their firstline treatment, not behavior therapy. And a third of specialists prescribing meds to preschoolers with ADHD say they choose a drug other than what’s recommended: Almost 20 percent prescribe amphetamines and 19 percent choose non-stimulants.

If your preschooler is diagnosed with ADHD, find a program that provides behavior modification training for your child — and you. If your doc wants to medicate your preschooler right off the bat, say “No, thanks,” and find a specialist who follows recommended guidelines.

SNACK ATTACK ON INSULIN RESISTANCE (AND THERE’S NO FOOD INVOLVED!) Fortune cookies may not predict your future, but occasionally they offer good advice. One of the most common messages? “Now’s the time to try something new.” With that, we agree!

And the place to start? Say good-bye to snacking on cookies (they contribute to obesity, diabetes, heart disease and a lousy sex life) and hello to snacking on exercise! Taking a quick bite of physical activity through-

out your day can help keep blood sugar steady and reduce insulin resistance.

Almost 90 million North Americans have prediabetes and are insulin resistant.

That means your body can’t use the insulin it makes to control your higher-thannormal glucose levels, putting you at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and nerve and eye damage. But a new study shows that multiple, brief periods of activity, including short bursts of high-intensity effort, are a very effective way to control blood sugar. (If you don’t lower your glucose levels within 10 years, half of you with prediabetes will develop full-blown Type 2 diabetes!)

Here’s how to create really good fortune: Before breakfast, lunch and dinner, enjoy an exercise snack for just 12 minutes. Take a bite of walking, jogging (outdoors or on a treadmill) and using light weights or exercise bands. For best results, during your 12-minute sessions, rev up your intensity by munching on one-minute bursts of super-charged activity; for 60 seconds work up a sweat, then cool down for 60 seconds; repeat for the duration of the snack attack. Now that’s sweet! *** 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.

The clean 15 When the Wicked Queen offered Snow White a poisoned apple, she had no idea it was the fruit most frequently contaminated by pesticide. That’s what the Environmental Working Group’s 2014 examination of pesticide in fruits and veggies revealed: 99 percent of apples had residue from at least one pesticide. And some other fruits (less frequently) registered residue from 13 or more!

Pesticides from produce plus garden and household products are linked to cancers, decreased cognitive function, ADHD and behavioral problems in children. But you can reduce exposure for your kids and yourself.

The EWG’s list of the “Clean 15” highlights produce with the LEAST pesticide residue.

The fruits include: cantaloupe, grapefruit, kiwi, mangoes, papayas and pineapple. They offer fiber, potassium, vitamin C and folate. Plus, mangoes and papayas may help control blood sugar.

The veggies include: asparagus, avocados, cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, corn, frozen sweet peas, onions and sweet potatoes.

Asparagus delivers vitamin B-6, calcium, zinc and magnesium; avocados help stabilize blood sugar; cabbage and cauliflower (cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli) protect the heart, brain and digestive system; eggplant, including the skin, offers anti-inflammatory powers; corn is fiber-rich and packs folate, thiamin and phosphorus; peas dish up vitamins A, B-1, B-6, C and K; and sweet potatoes have 400 percent of your daily dose of

vitamin A! You can go organic for all produce, but it’s not necessary. The benefits of nine servings of fruits and veggies daily far outweigh the risks of eating non-organic produce. And remember: Wash your produce well, including whatever you peel.

GET NUTS FOR NUTS In “The Nut Job,” a badmannered squirrel named Surly (he’s very surly) plans a heist of a nut store run by gangsters. When chaos ensues, it takes a brush with death for the overeager cartoon character to learn that nuts are all about goodness — to be shared with others. That’s a lesson everyone could benefit from, because nuts can help you stay healthy inside and out.

And you don’t have to worry about their fat content (good fats!) or calorie count (just stick with a small handful a day).

Here’s the top three — and what one serving a day can do for you.

Walnuts (as well as almonds) are a seed. They’re rich in gamma tocopherol, are the only nut with an appreciable amount of omega-3, and have 2.5 grams of alpha-linolenic acid per ounce, which may promote heart and prostate health.

Some animal studies indicate that eating walnuts may slow the growth of cancer cells. Others have found that it can protect blood vessel walls from damage.

Pistachios are a fruit!

Eating them daily seems to

help lower LDL cholesterol levels, improve blood sugar control, reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of lung and other cancers.

Almonds can help people with Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome avoid complications. And they act as a pre-biotic, helping healthful gut bacteria thrive. That’s good for your immune system.

Rule of thumb? Don’t go too nuts — 14 shelled walnut halves, 49 shelled pistachios or 24 shelled almonds equal one serving; just what you want daily.

THE BEAT GOES ON Whether you’re a flamboyant Buddy Rich-type (self-proclaimed “The World’s Greatest Drummer”) or a reliable gatekeeper of rhythm like Ringo Starr (James Brown said you could set your watch by him), if you’re a drummer, you’re not like everyone else. But you already know that.

Research shows that being a talented drummer indicates a natural intelligence and exceptional knack for problem-solving.

Drummers even seem to have a larger volume of white matter in their brains, facilitating communication between the left and right sides. But (being generous of nature) it turns out that when drummers lay down a rhythmic beat, it actually can boost the natural intelligence of listeners, too! That’s because they create rhythms that are in tune with the in-

nate tempos of your heartbeat and brain waves.

So it’s no surprise that research has found that both playing and listening to rhythms in sync with your body can improve brain wave frequency and cerebral blood flow, help heal damaged brains, boost students’ grades and improve cognitive function in the elderly.

So are there drums in your future? And should you encourage your kids to play drums? Well, there doesn’t seem to be a downside to learning how the beat goes on, but there is an old proverb: “If you have an enemy, give his children drums.” So you might consider — for yourself or your kids — learning the rhythm guitar or piano. They lay down a groove a little more quietly, and impart many of the same benefits to player and listener.

THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR PRESCHOOLERS WITH ADHD Bart Simpson, Roadrunner and the Minions of “Despicable Me” display impulsive, unfocused behavior associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And while their shenanigans are amusing for a lot of folks, for the 6.4 million kids ages 4 to 17 who’ve been diagnosed with the disorder, ADHD-triggered behavior is not fun! It makes it hard for children to establish friendships and almost doubles their risk for serious physical injuries.

That’s why the American Academy of Pediatrics established best practice guidelines for the treatment of young sufferers. For preschoolers, the AAP warns

Creston News Advertiser Friday, June 20, 2014

Six tips every woman should take to the doctor for her next checkup (Family Features) For women today, a yearly check-up with your healthcare provider is an essential part of maintaining your fertility health at every age. The maker of First Response(tm) the leading brand of pregnancy tests, has asked their panel of experts to share tips every woman should take to her doctor to maintain optimal fertility health at every age.

Tip #1: Understand Your Ovulation Cycle: Understanding your ovulation cycle is a simple and basic step in maintaining good overall reproductive health, especially for women who are trying to get pregnant. A recent study conducted by the maker of First Response and researchers from Yale School of Medicine revealed that 40% of women were not aware of the timing of ovulation in relation to their period, and 60% incorrectly believed that intercourse should be timed after ovulation to maximize chance of conception. To alleviate the guesswork and stress around a woman’s cycle, First Response has introduced their new global smartphone app, the First Response Tracker, available for iPhone and Android users. The app not only keeps track of a woman’s period and ovulation cycles, but also calculates her most fertile days and, if pregnant, will estimate how far along she is and predict her due date.

Tip #2: Your Sexual History will Impact Your Fertility Future: Knowing your sexual history and having an open line of communication with your doctor can help improve your ability to conceive. Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, clinical professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine says, “Whether or not you’re trying to get pregnant, it is important to know your body and to have a good relationship with your OB/GYN you should never feel intimidated or embarrassed to talk about your sexual activity, menstrual cycle and health.

If you are trying to get pregnant, knowing your history will help your doctor discuss a specific fertility plan, and help you make any lifestyle changes that will best condition your body and overall health for your pregnancy journey.”

Tip #3: Know the Risks Before You Begin Trying:

Be aware of potential risk factors and take action before you and your partner begin trying to get pregnant. Unless you and your partner are paying for lengthy medical tests and procedures, there is no way to know whether you will struggle to conceive. But before running to your doctor, be aware of a few important factors that may affect your ability to conceive. As Barbara Collura, President/ CEO of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association explains, “The guidelines state that you should seek the advice of a fertility specialist if you are under 35 and have been trying to get pregnant for 12 months or over 35 and have been trying for 6 months, but factors such as being overweight or underweight, tobacco and alcohol use, and prior health issues such as surgeries can all impact your fertility and chances of conception.”

Tip #4: A Healthy Combination of Good Medical, Mental and Financial Health is the Cornerstone to a Positive Family Planning Experience: When it comes to trying to get pregnant, being in good health is not just physical it’s mental and financial too.

“Planning to start your family is an important conversation for both partners to have so they can get on the same page about the major issues and responsibilities of raising a child. Seeking the counsel of your physician for preconception care and taking folic acid before you are pregnant are important early steps to take,” says Dr. Diane Ashton, VP for Health Equity and Deputy Medical Director of Medical Affairs at the March of Dimes. “In addition to going

rum for women to communicate and be engaged and informed about their health and lifestyle choices, and to ultimately empower them to make decisions about their health and well-being.”

Tip #6: Know Sooner: When it comes to fertility and conception, it’s more important than ever to know the facts and the risks sooner for a less stressful conception journey. Confirming pregnancy as soon as possible is important for women to make lifestyle changes and initiate prenatal care as close to conception as possible. To best help women get the answers they need sooner there is , First Response Gold™ Digital Pregnancy Test and Early Result Pregnancy Tests, which were both cleared by the FDA to determine if a woman is pregnant up to six days sooner than her missed period and with over 99% accuracy.

Tip #5: Talk to your Healthcare Provider, at least Once a Year: Your healthcare provider plays an important role in your journey, from preconception and through pregnancy and birth. Surprisingly, the Yale study revealed that 50% of women had never discussed their reproductive health with their medical provider, showcasing the need for more conversations between doctors and patients.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Love deal MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — The Minnesota Timberwolves are seeking a future first-round pick from the Golden State Warriors in addition to the rights to prized marksman Klay Thompson in Kevin Love trade talks, according to sources close to the situation.

Sources told ESPN. com that the Warriors, while they covet Love greatly, have been weighing internally whether they’re prepared to give up two such assets in addition to former All-Star forward David Lee for Love and Wolves swingman Kevin Martin.

Sources say the Wolves also have expressed interest in Warriors forward Harrison Barnes, with various trade constructions being exchanged by the teams in recent days as next Thursday’s draft draws near.

The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets also remain at the forefront of the Love pursuit, sources said, but Golden State appears to possess the most appealing combination of players who can make an immediate impact for the Wolves, whose team president — Flip Saunders — is also their new coach.

ESPN.com reported earlier Thursday that the Warriors have greatly increased their chances of winning the Love sweepstakes by making Thompson available to the Wolves in trade talks.

The Warriors, after initially resisting Minnesota’s push for Thompson, have relented and now are including Thompson in various trade proposals.

Embiid surgery Joel Embiid, who was considered the front-runner to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, will undergo surgery for a stress fracture in his right foot Friday, his agent confirmed in a statement.

“Joel Embiid suffered a stress fracture to the navicular bone in his right foot,” Arn Tellem said Thursday. “He is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow. Joel will be unable to participate in any additional workouts, and will not attend the draft in New York. We will have no further comment until after the surgery.”

Tellem told ESPN’s Andy Katz earlier Thursday that Embiid suffered the injury sometime over the last few days.

Embiid is not attending the draft because he can’t fly for 10 days to two weeks post-surgery, Tellem told Katz. The draft is next Thursday.

Embiid was scheduled to work out for the Milwaukee Bucks, who hold the second overall pick, later this week.

Panthers secure key H-10 sweep of Denison-Schleswig

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DENISON — Creston and Glenwood effectively shook up the Hawkeye 10 Conference softball title race on Thursday.

The Panthers picked up a big conference doubleheader sweep of conference-leading DenisonSchleswig here. The Lady Monarchs were previously unbeaten in the Hawkeye 10 Conference at 10-0 and 15-3 overall.

Meanwhile, Glenwood picked up a doubleheader sweep of second-place Harlan. The Cyclones entered play Thursday with just one conference loss.

“We kind of put ourselves right in the thick of the race,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said. “I see Glenwood swept Harlan tonight, so that’ll make it interesting. Good news is we’re done with all those teams. They can go beat each other up the rest of the year.”

Thursday’s results leave the Panthers in a second-place tie with Harlan currently at 9-3 in the conference, trailing DenisonSchleswig at 10-2. Lewis Central also has three losses at 8-3 and Glenwood sits at 8-4.

“They were huge,” McCabe said of Thursday’s wins. “We kind of challenged the kids a little bit about a great opportunity to go out and test ourselves against a

good opponent. We stepped up real big in the first game. Was real proud of them.”

Creston took the first game by a score of 6-2, before claiming a 1410 win in the nightcap.

The Panthers took an early lead in the opening game, before the Lady Monarchs jumped ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the second inning.

That score held until the fifth inning, when the Panthers scored three runs on RBI hits from Taylor Briley and Natalie Mostek.

Briley tacked on a couple of insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning with a two-run home run after Briley an Alyssa Higgins double.

McCabe said a key at-bat that sparked the fifth-inning rally came from Alli Thomsen, who fell into an 0-2 hole, but battle back, fouling off several pitches before eventually drawing a walk.

Haylee LaMas- Thomsen ters walked four and struck out five in the win, limiting DenisonSchleswig to just six hits.

her best stuff,” McCabe said, “but weathered the storm. We came back in that second game and did what we had to do. That type of game, kids could have been easily satisfied with the split, but they came back with the bats. We said, “What the heck? We came this far, let’s go get it.”

Comeback Denison-Schleswig jumped out to a 6-1 lead after two innings of the nightcap, before the Panthers chipped away at the lead.

LaMasters smoked a home run in the Panthers’ four-run third inning. Creston added four more in the fourth inning, as LaMasters hit her second bomb of the game.

“We had four extra base hits that were big,” McCabe said.

“The two home runs and a couple of doubles (by Mostek and Jami Sickels). The walks and passed balls kind of caught up to them.”

With the score knotted at 9-9 entering the seventh inning, the Panthers took advantage of four walks issued by Denison pitcher Paige Lansink to score five runs in the inning, and held on for the 1410 win after giving up one run in the bottom of the inning.

“I don’t think there’s any question she’s (Lansink) one of the top pitchers in the league,” McCabe said. “She had the top ERA coming in. I think Please see SWEEP, page 3S

Panthers earn split at Denison

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

DENISON — The Creston baseball team salvaged a doubleheader split after falling a run short in the opener here Thursday night.

The Monarchs held on for a 4-3 victory in game one as Trevor Luther’s flyball to right field was caught on the warning track with Creston runners on second and third base.

Chase Shiltz took the loss in that game. The Panthers led 2-1 in the top of the fifth after a home run by Trey Benson.

The Monarchs answered with a two-run homer Benson

by Brayden Schurke to go up 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth.

The Panthers entered the bottom of the seventh trailing 4-2 but staged a one-out rally.

“We had back-to-back singles and then with one out (Conner) Pals singled as well to drive in Garret Taylor,” Creston coach Steve Birchard said. “We had runners on second and third but ended the game on a strikeout and flyout.”

Creston scored six runs in the second inning to take a 7-2 lead on the way to defeating the Monarchs

13-9. There were 28 hits and 10 errors in that game, with the short fences on the Denison-Schleswig field (340 feet to center, 315 down the line and 320 in gap) coming into play.

With Creston leading 8-3, the Monarchs took advantage of Panther errors to narrow the lead to 8-7 in the top of the fifth.

Creston sent two runs across in the top of the sixth to make it 10-7.

Cole Crawford gave up a leadoff single, then struck out two of the next three batters he faced to keep it at 10-7 heading into the seventh.

Nathan Haley’s two-run homer with one out in the seventh provided some insurance with a six-run margin (13-7).

The Monarchs Haley were not retired quietly in the seventh, however. Sean Houston hit a two-run homer to close it to 13-9, and the next two batters walked and singled.

Suddenly, instead of two runners on and no outs, the Panthers had two outs recorded as Crawford got a strikeout and on the third strike, interference was called against the Crawford

The split leaves Creston at 7-7 overall and 6-5 in Hawkeye 10 play. Denison-Schleswig is now 10-5 overall and 7-2 in the league.

Creston has a homestand next week, hosting Clarinda Monday, Shenandoah Tuesday and Council Bluffs St. Albert for a key varsity doubleheader Thursday before traveling to Osceola Clarke on Friday.

Sports briefs Marlin transfers Jake Marlin of Creston, the state’s 22nd four-time state champion wrestler, is transferring from the University of Iowa to North Iowa Area Community College.

Marlin posted a 6-2 record at 141 pounds w h i l e competing unattached during his redshirt year at Marlin Iowa. He placed second at the DuHawk Open and third at the Pat “Flash” Flanagan Open, re-

cording three pins and one major decision.

Marlin set the state record with 147 career pins and is Creston/O-M’s alltime winningest wrestler (204-6). At NIACC he will be wrestling for coach Steve Kelly, a former Iowa State wrestler, who is assisted by T.J. Sebolt, a four-time state champion from Centerville.

Sebolt operates the Sebolt Wrestling Academy in Mason City.

Last year NIACC was 10th in the national junior college tournament with two national champions and three All-Americans total.

“He made the decision that’s best for him,” Creston/O-M coach Darrell

Frain said. “I know Sebolt being there might have had a little influence. I know he left the University of Iowa in good standing academically, so he should have some opportunities after a year at NIACC.” “Yeah, I’m friends with T.J.,” Marlin said. “It was a life choice more than anything.”

Marlin said he’s still interested in wrestling at a fouryear school after concluding his time at NIACC.

McKim returns Former Creston/O-M player and assistant coach Ryan McKim is returning to the Panther football staff as offensive coordinator for the 2014 season.

McKim, 2004 graduate of CHS and an Iowa State University graduate, was working as an offensive line coach for the Panthers when he was hired for his second stint on the Iowa State football coaching staff in early 2012. He became the offensive graduate assistant under head coach Paul Rhoads. He previously worked as assistant recruiting coordinator for Rhoads (2009) and former Cyclone head coach Gene Chizik (2008).

McKim spent last season as special teams quality control coach at Oklahoma under coach Bob Stoops.

In his return to Creston, McKim said he is pursuing

other educational opportunities while completing his Iowa teaching certification requirements.

“I’m excited,” McKim said. “We w e n t to the Northwest Miss o u r i S t a t e camp and installed McKim a good chunk of what we want to do in the fall.”

It’s partly mind over matter for Starlin Castro He has shown better judgment in knowing when to make quick throws or take more time because of a slow baserunner.

He has stabilized the Cubs’ cleanup spot despite his lack of experience and tools more suited to hitting higher in the batting order. Now he and his supporters aren’t shy about his potential to equal the 207 hits he accomplished in 2011 but hasn’t come close to attaining since.

“You want the bar that high,” said All-Star shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who had 212 hits during his 2007 National League most valuable player season and last week surpassed Mike Schmidt at the Phillies’ all-time hits leader.

“But people make adjustments. They start figuring out what you hit well in what counts and they stay away from it as much as they can.

You have to re-adjust back to them. He’s making the adjustments this year and get-

ting his hits.”

With 92 games left this season, Castro’s batting average is 46 points higher than his career-low .245 mark of last year. He already has equaled his 2013 home run total with 10, and he is on pace to surpass his career high of 78 RBIs in 2012 with the benefit of batting cleanup.

After Tuesday’s victory over the Marlins, Castro said he hasn’t felt this good since his rookie season in 2010, when he hit .300 in 125 games.

“I don’t go up there and give at-bats to anybody,” Castro said. “That happened to me last year a lot.”

At the same time, talk of Castro working deeper counts is virtually nonexistent as he is batting .395 swinging at the first pitch.

“Be aggressive, but be selective,” Castro said. “Don’t swing at their pitch. My pitch.”

CHICAGO — The road to recovery started in the offseason, only to hit a speed bump in spring training.

But during the time Starlin Castro was recovering from a hamstring strain and then coped with a sluggish start that rekindled the debate of whether he already had peaked at 24, the Cubs’ shortstop maintained the concentration that had wavered in the past.

“My mind is strong,” Castro said. “And I’m getting back to being the player I was before. I think I’m there now. I feel pretty good, and a lot of good things are coming.”

Castro’s rebound from a season-long malaise in 2013 that a well-publicized lack of concentration clouded further has quelled questions about his future as a productive player with the Cubs.

offense and working with skill position players in the backfield and receiving corps.

Former Panther and Central College player Casey Tanner remains as offensive line coach. Head coach Brian Morrison is defensive coordinator.

“We’ve met as a staff several times already and it’s obvious he’s a good fit for us,” Morrison said. “He has a ton of knowledge from his experiences and is great with the kids.”
