Sherman said when Linda Hartsock, former executive director of Creston Chamber of Commerce, found out she was a pilot and an artist, she asked Sherman if she was interested in the gig.

“Of course I was delighted to do it,” Sherman said.

“Creston is my home town. It seemed like the natural thing to do.”

Sherman said she has fun designing the Balloon Days artwork. Much of her creative inspiration is drawn from friends, whose hot air balloons are often featured in her work. She also likes to put a personal touch on each Balloon Days piece she has designed.

F

or graphic artist Carol Sherman of Kansas City, Mo., Creston is where she grew her passion for art.

Sherman, a Creston native who graduated from Creston High School in 1967, has been designing the annual Southwest Iowa Hot Air Balloon Days T-shirt and marketing artwork for nearly two decades and has worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for more than 40 years.

Sherman, a licensed commercial hot-air balloon pilot sponsored by Medicap Pharmacy, first became fascinated with the sport in 1976 at the National Balloon Classic in Indianola. Sherman and her husband Andy Sherman

Hardcore Trekkie Sherman admits she is a “huge” Star Trek fan and the franchise has influenced many areas of her life, particularly her art.

Hidden within artwork for Balloon Days, Sherman hides the USS Enterprise — the spaceship from Star Trek — and has done so for years.

“It’s a little trademark thing I do,” Sherman said.

Sherman said Star Trek has also inspired the names for her three balloons.

Her first balloon, USS Defiant, was named after a ship featured on the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the film “Star Trek:

Schultz to run for Madison County attorney DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz is a candidate for Madison County attorney in November.

The county auditor’s office confirmed that Schultz is on the ballot as the Republican candidate running against current County Attorney Julie Forsyth, a Democrat.

Schultz decided not to run for a second term as secretary of state. Instead he launched a campaign for Iowa’s 3rd District congressional seat but the Republican Party chose David Young from the field of six candidates in June. The Des Moines Reg- Schultz ister quotes Schultz as saying he’s had a lot of encouragement to run for county attorney.

Schultz’s biography on the secretary’s website says he’s a graduate of the Law School at Creighton University and practiced law in Council Bluffs before being elected secretary of state in 2010.

Branstad, Hatch debate Thursday DES MOINES (AP) — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad presented himself as an experienced workhorse while Democratic challenger Jack Hatch pledged to bring new ideas to state government during the first debate of the Iowa governor’s race Thursday.

The candidates sat before hay bales in an auditorium at the Iowa State Fair for the hour-long face-off, which was sponsored by the Iowa Public Television program “Iowa Please see DEBATE, Page 2

Bus barn construction starts

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Construction is underway for the Creston School District’s bus barn.

“A majority of the site prep is done and the footing has been poured for the building,” said Creston High School Superintendent Steve McDermott.

“The pouring of the concrete floor should happen in the near future.”

He added the site also has electricity, a fire hydrant is being installed and the steel building has been ordered and should arrive in three to four weeks.

The bus barn was destroyed during a tornado April 2012.

Breiholz Construction Company’s bid was for $906,000 for a base bid. The target for completion is near the Thanksgiving holiday.

“We want to get it McDermott up before the snow starts to fly,” McDermott said. “It has been nice to see some progress.”

McDermott said the district can afford the cost of the building and work.

More than $400,000 of the construction will be paid for by insurance.

The school district paid for preparations of the site, which is northeast of where the former building was located.

The district also paid for an architect to format blueprints of the building, which includes a wash bay for buses.

The concrete floor is a $200,000 addition to the cost of the barn.

“The insurance company is picking up a large portion of that cost because it was mandated by state fire code,” McDermott said.

Deaths Jack Shimer Creston

Jack “Weasel” Shimer, 66, of Creston died Aug. 14, 2014, at Greater Regional Medical Center.

Burial will be at Graceland Cemetery at a later date. Open visitation will be 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday with present 3 to 5 p.m. at the funeral home. Memorials may be given to the family. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Jackie Joe “Weasel” Shimer, son of Mimi Virsta (Chandler) and Johnnie Augusta Shimer, was born Sept. 3, 1947, in Creston.

Jack graduated from Creston High School in 1967.

Jack served in the United States Navy in the Construc-

tion Battalion.

On Jan. 25, 1969, Jack married Dora Marie Dudley in Creston. They lived all of their married life in Creston.

Early on, Jack worked at Purolator and as an EMT for Greater Community Hospital, both in Creston. He also drove for Schildberg Construction of Greenfield. Jack worked at Wellman Dynamics for 32 years, retiring in 2011.

Jack was a member of the American Legion Post No. 719 of Nevinville.

Jack is survived by his wife Marie Shimer of Creston; daughter Paula Shimer of Creston; son Paul Shimer of Creston; grandchildren, Jordon, Jenna and Brenna Shimer; brothers, Virgin Shimer of Creston, Albert (significant other Joy Ryonaldson) of Perry and Dell (wife Betty) Shimer of Creston; and sisters, Kay Camden of Lenox and Sandra Bolinger of Creston.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, twin sons in infancy, three grandsons; sisters, Mini Kathryn Shimer at birth and Cora Adamson; and brother Johnnie Shimer.

Press.” This was the first of three debates in the race.

Branstad, 67, is running for an unprecedented sixth nonconsecutive term. He focused heavily on his record over the past four years, touting a property tax cut, new education spending and job creation efforts. He unveiled one new proposal, an expanded plan to improve broadband internet access in rural Iowa and stressed that he was ready to serve another four years.

Hatch, 64, a longtime state lawmaker, sought to criticize Branstad’s administration over a recent revelation that some former state workers were given confidential settlement payments. He promised to cut taxes for the middle class, raise the minimum wage and increase the state gas tax to fund infrastructure.

“There needs to be new leadership and there needs to be a fresh start in education

and job development and taking care of rural Iowa,” Hatch said.

Branstad said he wanted to come up with a plan for repairing crumbling bridges and roads that didn’t include raising the gas tax, which he said would hurt poor Iowans.

Hatch questioned tax cuts the state gave to a fertilizer plant that located in southeast Iowa, asking “why are we giving these kinds of incentives to corporations, instead of looking where job growth really is, it’s in the small towns, it’s in the small businesses.”

Branstad is the presumptive favorite in the race. He had about $4 million in his campaign account at the end of the latest reporting period in mid-July. In comparison, Hatch only had $183,000 in cash at the end of the latest reporting period, which will make it hard for him to get his message out. He has also loaned personal funds to his campaign.

Iowa surgeon fined for operating on wrong finger MASON CITY (AP) — The Iowa Board of Medicine has fined a Mason City surgeon for operating on the wrong finger of a patient.

The Mason City Globe Gazette reports the board issued a warning and imposed a $2,500 fine Wednesday on Dr. Rene Recinos. The board said in a news release that the 48-year-old Recinos errantly operated on the patient’s right ring finger. The

operation was supposed to be performed on the patient’s right middle finger.

The board says Recinos realized he’d made the error. He told the patient and subsequently operated on the correct finger.

Recinos has submitted to the board a plan that outlines what he’ll do to avoid such errors in the future.

Recinos has declined to comment on the case.

First Contact.”

Sherman’s second balloon, Wrath of Rahn, was inspired by the film “Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan” and named after her hot air balloon instructor, Ron Reagan of Kansas City, Mo. Sherman’s current balloon, which features the silhouette of a dog following a horse in a sunset is named The Final Frontier after the film “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.”

Captain Kirk Even Sherman’s dog, Captain Kirk, is named after one of Star Trek’s most famous and highly decorated Captains, Captain James T. Kirk, who happens to also have been born in Iowa.

Kirk, who Sherman guesses to be 8 or 9 years old, is a rescued black Labrador and chow mix. Like Sherman, Kirk is a Creston Balloon days regular, who can be found chasing balloons in Creston with the rest of the crew during Balloon Days weekend.

Kirk is fondly known as the “weather dog.” Sherman jokes that if his fur is wet, it’s raining outside.

Kirk’s fur also gives balloonist an idea of which way the wind is blowing.

Life as an artist It’s no surprise Sherman has spent her life as an artist.

“My mom would say I would draw on anything I could,” Sherman said.

After high school, Sherman attended Kansas City Art Institute, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Art with an emphasis in painting in 1972.

When asked what are some of the biggest differences between modern de-

sign and her collegiate arts education, Sherman said in the 1970s, illustrations were done by hand with pencil, inky rapidograph pens, poster boards and paper. Today, digital artists have the ease of erasing mistakes with the click of button.

“I’m still one of these people that sits down with a sketch book and starts sketching out my ideas,” Sherman said.

No matter where her ideas start, everything ends up in Adobe Illustrator, where she digitizes her work. She said she had to take some classes, but is mostly self-taught to keep pace with the changing technology in the art industry.

“It’s a fun challenge,” Sherman said. “Through the years, I have had to reinvent myself more times than a lot of people.”

Sherman took some teaching courses, but quickly landed a position with Calvin Company in Kansas City, Mo., a former educational and industrial production company. She worked on animation projects for Caterpiller and Heston farm equipment.

Sherman recently retired as a multi-media artist after 35 years with Kansas City Public Television, where she did animation, opening and closing credits.

“You find something you enjoy and it’s just great to be able to make a career doing it,” Sherman said.

Homecoming Sherman, the daughter of Geneva and Elmer Hunt of Creston, said she always looks forward to Balloon Days. Particularly, visiting with her friend Linda Freeman, with whom she’s been friends with since the age of 3. Sherman is also

Rescuers pull naked man from river in Des Moines DES MOINES (AP) — Crews have rescued a man from the Des Moines River after he was found swimming near the Center Street dam in downtown Des Moines.

The Des Moines Register reports the man was pulled out of the river Wednesday afternoon

after being in the water about 20 minutes.

Although he was just downstream from the dam, authorities don’t think he went over the dam, which produces dangerous, churning water.

The man, who was naked, was taken to a hospital. His name wasn’t re-

leased.

Rescuers threw ropes to the man from bridges on Locust and Walnut streets.

He grabbed one rope but let it go.

He was pulled from the river by rescuers in boats.

Stewart sits CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tony Stewart will not race Sunday at Michigan International Speedway, skipping a second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup race since striking and killing a driver in a dirt-track race at a small New York track.

Stewart announced the decision in a statement Thursday. His plans for the rest of the season have not been determined.

Jeff Burton will drive Stewart’s No. 14 Chevrolet in Michigan.

Stewart also sat out Sunday at Watkins Glen, a day after he struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr. during a sprint car event in Canandaigua, New York. After Stewart clipped Ward’s car, sending it spinning, Ward got out of the car during the caution period, walked down the track and was hit by Stewart.

Ward’s funeral was Thursday in Boonville, New York. He died of blunt force trauma.

Big inning KANSAS CITY — Billy Butler’s two-run single capped a deciding seventh-inning burst, as the Kansas City Royals claimed a 7-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics in the finale of a four-game series between AL division leaders.

Jarrod Dyson and Norichika Aoki also drove in two runs for the Royals, who finished their seven-game homestand with a 6-1 mark. They remained a half-game up in the AL Central on Detroit, which topped Pittsburgh earlier on Thursday.

Aaron Crow (6-1) recorded the final out of the seventh for the win.

Greg Holland notched the last two outs of the contest to earn his 36th save.

Bears win CHICAGO — Chad Henne did all he could to keep the starting quarterback job with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

First-round pick Blake Bortles was just as good — or better.

Henne passed for 130 yards and a touchdown, and Bortles threw for 160 in relief before backup quarterback Jordan Palmer rallied the Chicago Bears to a 20-19 preseason victory over the Jaguars on Thursday night.

Palmer, trying to beat out Jimmy Clausen for the No. 2 job, led Chicago to two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Senorise Perry scored on a 5-yard run with 50 seconds left, and C.J. Wilson intercepted a pass to seal the win after Henne and Bortles picked the Bears apart.

Jared Allen made his first appearance for Chicago. The star offseason defensive acquisition finished with one tackle for a loss on an otherwise quiet night.

Wolverine runners go the extra mile for camp experience Utah coach hosts national cross country camp

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

GREENFIELD — Start with a scenic tour of the vastness and distinct terrain of the American West.

Add some training runs in the mountains, and four days of camp instruction from a head coach in the Pac-12 Conference.

It all made for an adventure of a lifetime for six Nodaway Valley cross country runners and their coach, Darrell Burmeister.

Burmeister drove all of the nearly 3,000 m i l e s logged on the rented Suburban for the eight-day excursion Burmeister that began July 26.

Coach connection The “hook” in this unusually long trip just to attend a college camp is University of Utah cross country coach Kyle Kepler, a Webster City native who formerly coached the University of Northern Iowa Panthers.

That’s where Burmeister met Kepler.

“When I took Megan Winkelmann and Connie Eshelman to the UNI camp in the 2001 to 2003 time period, I met coach Kepler and we kept in touch over the years,” Burmeister said.

Last fall, after a talented Nodaway Valley team sent individuals to the state meet — including all-stater Destiny Scar — and nearly sent the boys team to state from a rugged qualifying meet, Burmeister saw Kepler’s camp brochure online.

The wheels started turning, figuratively, for a trip that could be both educational and beneficial to his top athletes.

“Last fall we talked about it,” Burmeister said, “and I wanted to help them out (financially) with it. Well, my tax returns didn’t come back the way I had hoped, and I kind of decided we couldn’t do it.”

ing, parents of Wolverine runner Heath Downing, stepped up to make it happen.

“Heath said, ‘we’re going.’ The Downing family approached me and helped out tremendously in covering expenses,” Burmeister said. “They were very generous.”

The participants were responsible only for their food and any souvenirs purchased along the way. No worries about lodging or transportation costs.

Burmeister rented a Suburban and negotiated overnight stays that never exceeded $100 per person, per night.

“I have a teacher discount card. And, I spoke very friendly on the telephone,” he said, chuckling.

Joining Burmeister were

junior Nathan Venteicher, sophomore Brayten Funke, sophomore Shane Breheny, freshman Brycen Wallace, Downing and Scar.

Solid credentials The instruction at a Division I camp would not be wasted. These are all accomplished runners.

Breheny was second at the state qualifying meet and placed 31st in the state cross country meet. Funke was eighth at the state qualifier and ran 24th at state.

Scar was a medal winner, taking eighth in the girls state meet.

Downing was fourth at the state qualifying meet and ran 51st at state. Venteicher, the team’s number four

Rob Manfred elected next MLB commissioner

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE (AP) — Rob Manfred was elected baseball’s 10th commissioner Thursday, winning a three-man race to succeed Bud Selig and given a mandate by the tradition-bound sport to recapture young fans and speed play in an era that has seen competition increase and attention spans shrink.

The 55-year-old Manfred, who has worked for Major League Baseball in roles with ever-increasing authority since 1998, will take over from the 80-year-old Selig on Jan. 25. It’s a generational change much like the NBA undertook when Adam Silver, then 51, replaced 71-year-old David Stern as commissioner in February. And like Silver, Manfred was his boss’s pick.

Manfred beat out Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner in the first contested vote for a new commissioner in 46 years. The third candiCNA photo by LARRY PETERSON date, MLB Executive Vice Tuning up: Creston senior Nicole Haley concentrates on a pass during a practice President of Business Tim drill this week. The Panthers participate in preseason scrimmages Saturday at DMACC Brosnan, withdrew just bein Boone and Aug. 23 in Atlantic against several Hawkeye 10 Conference teams. The fore the start of balloting. season opener is Sept. 2 at Norwalk.

“I am tremendously hon-

ored by the confidence that the owners showed in me today,” Manfred said. “I have very big shoes to fill.”

Selig has led baseball since September 1992, first as chairman of the sport’s executive council following Fay Vincent’s forced resignation and as commissioner since July 1998. After announcing his intention to retire many times only to change his mind, he said last September that he really, truly planned to depart in January 2015.

One baseball executive who attended the meeting, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the 4 1/2-hour session were not to be divulged, said Manfred was elected on approximately the sixth ballot.

The initial vote was 20-10 for Manfred, three short of the required three-quarters majority.

His total increased to 21 on the second and 22 on the third. While teams put written ballots into envelopes, keeping their choices secret, from team official speeches it was evident that Tampa Bay’s Stuart Sternberg and Milwaukee’s Mark Attanasio likely switched.

Nodaway Valley trip itinerary

runner, placed 19th at the state qualifying meet. Wallace went to the state meet to watch as an eighth-grader, and immediately upon returning to Greenfield started running and training for this season.

“He’s been running ever since,” Burmeister joked.

“He’s our — Run Forest, Run! — guy.”

So, it was no surprise to the Wolverine head coach that his runners claimed many of the top positions in camp time trials at the invitational camp.

“Of the 47 kids, I had five of the top seven kids there,” Burmeister said. “I was impressed with our kids, but I knew what I was bringing out there, too.”

The camp was a mix of runners from western states and Iowans from Webster City and Nodaway Valley.

Webster City’s longtime coach, Tony Bussan, was Kepler’s high school coach and annually sends runners to Kepler’s camp.

“Elko, Nevada has a really good team and they had kids there,” Burmeister said. “There was a Utah kid who ran 15:55. The competition was good, but our kids represented themselves, and Nodaway Valley, really well.”

Altitude running Not bad for a bunch of Midwest prairie runners whose bodies were not accustomed to the rarefied air of altitude running, which ranged from 5,500 feet to 7,000 feet along the Wasatch Range of the Salt Lake City

area. The campers toured some of the Olympic venues from the 2002 Winter Games, and stayed in housing developed in preparation for that event.

“They ran 1,000s the day they were at Park City,” Burmeister said, “and the Pipeline Trail run was challenging. It’s a nine-mile trail at the highest altitude they ran.”

Along that run, Venteicher found another gear when he and a runner from Webster City encountered a rattlesnake.

“We ran right over the top of it after we heard it rattling!” Venteicher said.

“Your ears would pop on the way up. In a workout, you could breathe, but it was harder to get air in your lungs. But there was no humidity at all. It was nice weather, except for when it rained, when it was freezing.”

The Pipeline trail was unlike any training run they’re going to encounter in rural Adair County.

“On your right is a giant mountain,” Venteicher said, “and on your left is like a 1,500-foot drop. It’s a single lane trail.”

All of the participants said they improved as runners through participation in the camp, but that was just a small part of what they gained from the experience.

Burmeister had a detailed, day-by-day itinerary (see related story) for the trip, which included historic stops such as the Mitchell Corn Palace, Wall Drug, the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Black Hills National

“Of the 47 kids, I had five of the top seven kids there. I was impressed with our kids.”

NV cross country coach

Forest and Sturgis.

And that’s just the South Dakota part!

There was also plenty to see in Wyoming, including the scenic byway from Saratoga to Centennial in the Snowy Range of Medicine Bow National Forest. The numerous coal mines and oil fields made it apparent Wyoming is the energy hub of the United States, Burmeister said.

“When you have a history teacher with you, you’ll tour around a lot at those things,” Funke said, smiling.

“The landscape changed pretty dramatically on the way out there,” Breheny said. “Devil’s Tower was real neat. You could go hiking up to Mount Rushmore and get really close.”

“I thought there were going to be towns along the way like Iowa,” Scar said.

“But you’d drive miles and miles. You’d see signs saying 200 miles to the next town!”

Scar also had another unique experience.

“I got kicked by a wild donkey at Custer State Park,” she said.

Bound and determined to see wild buffalo, Burmeister

drove 90 minutes through the park until finally getting some photographed far across an open prairie.

On the University of Utah campus, they also enjoyed the scenery.

“It was walking distance from the campus, so we sat on the top of the hills watching Carlos Santana give an outdoor concert,” Burmeister related. “Then on our way back on the (mass transit train) from the Salt Lake City minor league baseball game, we were on the subway with fans coming back from the Ted Nugent concert. That was interesting.”

“One night when we were coming back down the hill the city lights went on, and that was pretty cool,” Scar said.

Highlights Four of the participants who met with the News Advertiser Wednesday afternoon gave their personal highlights from the trip.

Scar — “I think finding out that I’m pretty good, and meeting new people and actually getting to go to a national camp.”

Funke — “Just the camp and meeting all of those different people and running with them.”

Breheny — “Being together with my teammates on vacation.”

Venteicher — “Just the experience you’ll never forget, to take that trip with a second family.”

And, as for Burmeister, there wasn’t a singular highlight.

“I enjoyed every second of it,” he said.

AMES — Iowa State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has presented eight “Future Discovery Awards” to 4-H participants at the 2014 Iowa State Fair. Hannah Johnston of Creston is a recipient.

The new Future Discovery Award is a $500 scholarship, which will be given to each student upon enrolling at ISU and pursuing a Liberal Arts and Sciences major.

The scholarship was presented to 4-H participants whose state fair exhibits exemplified “innovation, curiosity, and scholarship foundational to a liberal arts and sciences education.”

Winning entries ranged from photo journalism to a history of barbed wire.

Johnston presented “Disability or Difference: You Decide” in the family and consumer science department.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with younger students. I am very impressed with their talents, interests and commitment,” Beate Schmittmann, dean of the college, said. “Their exhibits relate directly to many of the majors that we offer in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.”

More than 3,000 participants presented exhibits, which were first reviewed by 4-H judges. Afterward, Liberal Arts and Sciences staff selected eight award recipients from about 1,500 blue ribbon-holding exhibits.

“This year’s awardees are

smart, motivated, and have shown remarkable intellectual promise and enthusiasm for the sciences, the social sciences, or the humanities. I am very pleased to present them with a Future Discovery Award,” Schmittmann said.

Dan Rice, the college’s Director of Recruiting and a judge, said the number of exhibits was initially overwhelming as they looked for entries that showed future potential and interest in one of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences’ many majors.

“That narrowed the pool, but it was hard getting it down to only eight,” Rice said. “For me, the real joy was being able to take a critical look at so much talent and scholarship potential in Iowa’s young students.”

Will Stone, LAS digital services coordinator and judge, said they looked for exhibits that were directly or closely linked to one or more majors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

“Exhibits that demonstrated an aptitude for innovation, investigated an answer to an interesting question, and showed research ability and application were ultimately selected as winners,” he said.

Struggling for breath: Why people with COPD may be putting themselves at unnecessary risk (BPT) - Imagine experiencing shortness of breath, wheezing, and a cough so severe it requires you to visit the emergency room. This is a frightening potential reality for an estimated 24 million Americans with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive and debilitating lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe. Many COPD patients will experience an event like this called an exacerbation (or flare-up), a time when symptoms suddenly get worse and breathing becomes more difficult.

COPD exacerbations can be triggered by infections, changes in the weather, air pollution, or second-hand smoke, and they’re a leading cause of hospitalization in the US. Therefore, it’s critical for COPD patients and their doctors to have a productive dialogue on how to manage, treat, and prepare for these potential flare-ups.

However, findings from the new, groundbreaking, two-part national COPE (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Experience) Survey released by The COPD

Foundation show that people with COPD may need more education and better communication with their doctors to effectively manage the condition. In fact, despite the serious risks posed by exacerbations, the COPE Survey revealed that nearly two-thirds (62 percent) of COPD patients admitted to not knowing a lot about them - and an additional 16 percent were unaware of what a flare-up even was.

Moreover, 60 percent of COPD patients reported that they do not have an action plan in place to deal with a flare-up. By contrast, in the part of the COPE Survey targeting physicians who treat COPD, almost all said they discuss exacerbations and establish action plans with their patients, suggesting there is an opportunity to improve patient care through more productive, meaningful communication between patients and their physicians about COPD to improve patient care.

Early detection and proper diagnosis of COPD are also critical to manag-

ing the disease and slowing its progression, yet surveyed COPD patients indicated that they experienced symptoms of the disease for an average of 2 years and 9 months prior to being diagnosed. Furthermore, surveyed physicians reported that 39 percent of their patients had reached a “severe” or “very severe” disease state by the time of diagnosis - results which indicate there may be an opportunity for earlier detection and intervention.

Despite the importance of proper diagnosis of COPD severity, less than half (49 percent) of physicians surveyed reported that they always perform spirometry - a diagnostic tool that measures lung function - to confirm a diagnosis.

The survey also revealed that only 12 percent of COPD patients consider their condition to be “completely controlled” and indicated that COPD disrupts their patients’ ability to complete normal daily activities such as exercising (87 percent), climbing stairs (86 percent), and walking

(77 percent). Yet surprisingly, 82 percent of patients who have a COPD treatment regimen said they are satisfied with it.

“COPD can be treated but it’s crucial for doctors to diagnose it early and help patients follow the appropriate therapeutic strategies to improve symptoms, increase activity, and reduce the chance of exacerbations,”

says Dr. MeiLan Han, associate professor of medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan.

“It’s important that physicians develop an individualized approach that works best for each patient.”

The surveys were conducted by The COPD Foundation with support from Forest Laboratories, Inc.,

as part of Forest’s MORE Matters education campaign. The initiative aims to provide people living with COPD and their caregivers what they want more of: education about the condition, helpful resources, and the support needed to help them manage the disease.

Don’t let hot weather kick in kidney stones Death Valley gets less than 2 inches of rain a year, and summer temperatures can soar to 120 F or higher.

Chances are that’s one place you’d be sure to drink plenty of water.

But if you’re in towns like Portland, Oregon; Cleveland; or New York City, where average highs are in the mid or upper 80s, you might not think hydration is much of a worry.

Gulp! That would be a mistake. Kidney specialists have discovered that in addition to all the standard symptoms of dehydration (cramping, heart palpitations, dizziness, infrequent urination and dark yellow urine), when temperatures jump to 86 F or higher, so does your risk of kidney stones.

So how much water should you drink when you’re active on a hot day? Start with 16 ounces about an hour before you head out, and another glass 15 minutes right before you get going. Then drink 16 ounces every 30-60 minutes, depending on the temperature, your age, weight and activity. And you should urinate copiously 3-4 times a day; less indicates you’re taking in too little liquid. Also, replace electrolytes: Take a break to eat a banana (400 mg of potassium) and add a pinch of salt to your water if you’re out for more than 90 minutes. Take in added calcium with nonfat, sugar-free yogurt, and at all times (except after you take a multivitamin!) your urine should be a pale, light, clear color. If it’s dark and cloudy, start drinking cool water immediately.

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

Stay clear of kidney stones in hot weather.

GETTING YOUR PRESCRIPTION RIGHT — RIGHT FROM THE START Have you ever gone to the pharmacy to fill a prescription and been completely unable to read what the doctor wrote? (Both of us have perfect handwriting, of course!) But when you hand the mystery message over to the pharmacist, she says: “No problem. You can pick it up in an hour.” How can she possibly know what the doctor ordered, you wonder?

Well, fortunately, most of the time, pharmacists get it right, but even when totally legible printed prescriptions are used, mistakes happen — 51 million a year out of 3 billion medications dispensed, says Pharmacy Times. And while that’s a small percentage, it’s a huge number. So when you get a prescription, ask the doctor or his staff member what it says, and then write the info down on a separate piece of paper so you can double-check what you know to be correct with what the pharmacist says.

But don’t stop there.

According to a new Canadian study, it seems that a lot of mistakes get made once the right med with the right dose comes home with you.

Labels on medication bottles can be hard to read, so instead of taking one pill every

four hours for three days, you may take three pills every four days or some other mixup, and either fail to get the treatment you need or overdose yourself. Check that you can easily read and understand the label BEFORE you leave the pharmacy. If you can’t, ask for a do-over with clearer, cleaner, bigger type.

TREATMENT FOR C. DIFF AND CHEMO Tomatoes were once considered poisonous (even in Italy!), and early pioneers were convinced that bathing was an open invitation to catching a deadly disease.

But even today, there are commonly held prejudices that doctors and researchers are working to knock down.

One example: Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) — or transferring a bacteria-rich stool from one person to another — still strikes most people as a cross between a gross joke and an invitation to horrendous diseases.

But we know that properly administered FMT can cure many intestinal problems, and new research extends its usefulness. Scientists have discovered that using FMT to treat diarrhea caused by the bacteria Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, is safe for anyone who is immune compromised, such as everyone receiving chemotherapy. In fact, for them, it is a great way to KO this life-threatening and difficult-to-treat

infection!

Using FMT to cure C. diff when someone is immunocompromised has an astounding 89 percent cure rate and no negative side effects.

This is great news for over 45,000 people every year who are receiving chemo and also have to battle C. diff (up to 7 percent of people going through chemotherapy contract this devastating and sometimes fatal diarrhea).

Current treatments with antimicrobials can be effective, but recurrence is a problem; taking big doses of antibiotics (which destroy the healthy bacteria in the gut, too) may create another set of challenging problems. So if you or a loved one is battling cancer (and diarrhea) ask your oncologist about trying this innovative treatment.

KEEPING IT FUN KEEPS KIDS IN SPORTS Seems LeBron James has found out, maybe the hard way, that playing sports in a place you love is much more fulfilling. (That’s one big reason why Dr. Mike in Cleveland forgave him in a microsecond for ever leaving!)

Recently, when the 29-yearold basketball superstar decided to head back to northeastern Ohio, he declared: “It’s where I walked ... ran ... cried. It holds a special place in my heart.” Clearly, returning to the Cleveland Cavs is going to make playing professional basketball a lot more fun for King James.

Interestingly, LeBron’s decision coincides with a recent study showing that 70 percent of kids drop out of organized sports by the time they reach

middle school — and never play again — because they aren’t having fun. The kids told researchers that what they wanted from their experiences were team members who were good sports, a focus on playing your best and good coaching.

So, to keep your kids physically active and interacting with friends (it fights obesity, boosts self-confidence and improves grades) we suggest: 1. Help them find sports/ activities they like by being aware of what kids can do emotionally, physically and socially at different stages and ages.

2. Help them set attainable goals that build confidence.

3. Find a coach who can motivate (not intimidate) kids, so they enjoy playing their best.

And teach your kids at 9 what it took LeBron 29 years to learn: What matters isn’t just whether you win or lose, it’s how (well, fairly and with whom) you play the game.

That’s the real fun.

LET’S NOT CLOSE OUR EYES TO PREDIABETES When officials from the Serbian town of Bajina Basta issued a warning to residents that a long-slumbering vampire was on the loose again, it may have done more to increase tourism than prevent a public health crisis. But we think the recent suggestion from University College London and the Mayo Clinic that doctors stop diagnosing prediabetes because the warning doesn’t seem to have any benefit is a case of bats in the belfry — and it could increase an already serious

public health problem.

Elevated blood sugar levels by any name signal an increased risk of heart disease, sexual problems and, of course, full-blown Type 2 diabetes. Being aware of rising blood glucose lets you make lifestyle changes that add up to a younger RealAge, a healthier weight, a better sex life and a reduced risk of those real health vampires — diabetes, heart disease, cancer and depression.

We think an aggressive public health campaign to help motivate the 70 million North Americans with slightly elevated blood sugar levels to embrace diet and activity changes is what’s needed.

Then, if you’re told that you have prediabetes, you’ll be more likely to eliminate saturated and trans fats, added sugars and syrups, and any grain that isn’t 100 percent whole; start a walking routine headed for 10,000 steps a day (get a walking buddy for support); and meditate (10 minutes daily) to reduce stress.

Then, when you reduce your glucose levels, you can say: “Thanks for the early warning! It helped me dodge the long-term hazards of prediabetes and diabetes!” *** 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.

year begins in September with new officers: Deb Loudon, president; Deb Bates, vice president; Annette Pingree, treasurer; Kim Walter, secretary; Sheila Sutton, membership; Vera and Walter Fengler, historian; Kathy Rohrig, N4C Print chairman; and Deb Jensen, N4C digital chairman. Jensen reported because of medical issues, she will be unable to be the N4C digital chairman, and Brenda Strauss was elected to take over her position with Sheila Sutton helping her.

Discussion was held about the club’s meeting place; should it be the United Methodist Church or Pizza Ranch, both of Creston? Several like the camaraderie of The Pizza Ranch, others like the space and professionalism of the Church. It was decided to discuss with Tim Abramowitz (since he has been a mentor), which he feels would be better before a final decision is made. At this time, the first meeting of the month on the first Thursday will be at the church, and second meeting at The Pizza Ranch unless a another location is planned for hands-on, usually held on the third Thursday of the month.

Discussion was held about N4C competitions which start in September.

In order for more to feel more comfortable about entering, a hands-on meeting Aug.21 will be at The Pizza Ranch, about how to get photos ready and enter the digital competition.

Deb Loudon handed out assignments from Abramowitz. He will not be here this month, but wanted everyone to work on these. Sharing time is back; bring photos to share or if you would like them critiqued. Some photo sharing

was done by members.

The next meeting will be 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. Aug. 21, social and photo sharing time. The hands-on will begin at 6:45 p.m. with Deb Bates. Bring photos, digital and print, you would like help with to enter the N4C competitions. N4C print entries for September will be due Sept. 4 at the meeting; the digital entries will be due Sept. 10.

Horoscope Saturday, Aug. 16, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might have disputes about finances today. Since this is a short-lived situation, keep to yourself and say nothing. Then things will blow over.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, opposing first Mars, then Saturn. This means you might have a fight with someone in the morning, and by the afternoon, you feel life is hard.

Don’t worry; this is fleeting.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t let things get you down today, because it’s easy to feel discouraged, especially later in the day. This is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Difficulties with others will try your patience. Something might happen that depresses you, so that at the end of the day, you feel unloved and lonely. Don’t worry, because tomorrow things are fine.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Do not ask someone in a position of authority for a favor or permission today. This is not the day to do this. Just stay in the background.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Travel plans will meet with obstacles today. You might even feel overwhelmed by the end of the day. Don’t let this get to you, because it’s gone by tomorrow. Promise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a poor day to decide how to share something.

People are quick to anger in the morning, and late in the day, they are stingy and glum.

Yikes!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Relations with others are difficult today. Therefore, if you can work alone or behind the scenes, you’re better off. Don’t take anything personally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might feel alone and cut off from others today, especially late in the day. But this is just a temporary illusion; and by tomorrow, things are much better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Children seem to be an extra burden today. Hissy fits and temper tantrums in the morning are likely, and it doesn’t get easier as the day wears on. Tomorrow is just fine.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a poor day for important family discussions, because people will be angry or noncommunicative.

Postpone these talks for another day.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might feel worried today, and you likely will feel sorry for yourself. Please reassure yourself that this is simply temporary. Tomorrow is a completely different day!

YOU BORN TODAY You are vibrant and dynamic, and often

outrageous. You are a sensualist who wants to get the most out of life. You are driven to achieve your dreams and your ability to seduce sometimes will help you. Many of you are attracted to danger. This year will be a testing year for you.

Work hard to build or construct something that is useful.
