Station demolished, construction underway at Corning Volunteer Fire Department

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Construction is underway on Corning Fire Department’s new fire station.

The new station will be located where the old one was demolished, but will be larger to store more equipment and taller fire trucks.

Construction Construction on the station began in the first part of May, and is expected to be completed in January, after 270 days. The building will be erected in the first part of September.

The construction is not on schedule, however, according to Corning City Council Member Bert Peckham.

“We’ve had so much rain we’re running considerably behind,” Peckham said.

Part of the building will be paid for with a United States Department of Agriculture grant. The grant money totals $525,000.

The original budget drawn up before bids were initially taken was at $1.5 million, with the project at $1.4 million. Bids for general contractors were opened August 2013. There were four bids, all over the budget.

However, since then, the budget was set at $1.5 million.

“It may not be quite that much, but we will use the grant for fire equipment if we don’t use it all on the building,” Peckham said.

New plans were drawn up after the bids, with a projected cost of about $1.2 million. Since the original bids were too high, the building was redesigned.

“It was redesigned,” Peckham said. “The biggest change was we went to a metal building.”

It was originally planned to be concrete.

Change The new station will be double the size of the former one, with measurements of 100 feet by 95 feet.

By doing so, residents will will be alerted in the case of severe weather information, evacuation notices, missing persons, planned utility outages and emergency road closures.

home for dinner after a day of working in the field, a notification was sent out to residents within a half mile of the missing man’s property.

“We were able to contact everyone within that radius, say we had a missing person

and asked if they had heard or saw him that afternoon to let us know. Or, if they wanted to volunteer for a search party,” Duckworth said.

Lowell Aupperle, 90, of Greenfield died Aug. 19, 2014, at Greenfield Manor.

Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26, at Steen Funeral Home, 101 S.E.

CONSTRUCTION: Continued from Page 1

The meeting room size will be larger, and it will house men’s and women’s restrooms and offices. The bay area for the fire trucks and other equipment will also be larger.

“The size of the building stayed the same,” Peckham said. “We just took some of the bells and whistles out of it and changed the construction material.”

Radiant heat will be used in the bay area, which will more efficiently heat objects and people within an area, rather than heating the air. No air conditioning will be installed in the bay area, but the enclosed areas in the station will be heated and cooled.

Until the building is complete, equipment will be stored in other buildings in Corning.

“We’ve got a contract with the school, and they’ve got a four-bay bus barn that they can’t get their buses in now because their buses are all too long. We’ve had our fire trucks in there, and they will be parked down there,” said Corning Volunteer Fire Chief Don Willett. “That is two blocks from the station.

Bunker gear and trucks will be there.”

Meetings will also be held in a shed near Southwest Valley High School, which used to be an armory.

The new fire station will be

Motivate Educate

taller than the former building, also, which will allow the department to purchase trucks without special ordering ones that are shorter and fit inside.

Location The fire station was located on Davis Avenue, and the new one will be in the same spot.

A spot was chosen along Highway 34, but it was in a flood plain, which was raised from a 500-year to a 100-year after floods in 2010. If the site was the final chosen spot, the city would have lost the grant money, and would have had to pay flood insurance.

A flood plain is the area near a body of water that experiences flooding, and how often it is flooded is known by the year amount.

The original location was then decided upon by a committee of local people.

Land behind the station, which the new plan extends into, was owned by Adams County. However, the county is giving the property to the city for the fire department.

History Corning Fire Department’s current building want erected in 1964 and dedicated in 1965.

Since the dedication, the department’s coverage area has expanded to 227 square miles, including four miles into Taylor County.

There are currently 27 active volunteer firefighters with Corning Fire Department.

Celebrate!

Mae Lee Greene, 40, 404 N. Stone St., was charged with operating while intoxicated 4:05 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of West Howard and North Stone streets.

According to a Creston Police report, officers conducted a traffic stop on a gray Ford Escape because the rear taillights were not on.

Officers engaged the emergency lights at the intersection of West Mills Street and North Sumner Avenue. The vehicle continued around the corner onto West Mills, taking a wide, slow turn. The vehicle failed to stop for the emergency lights, and officers engaged the siren and horn. The vehicle still failed to stop and officers followed the vehicle until it came to a stop in a driveway on North Stone. Officers approached the driver and were able to identify her as Greene by Iowa driver’s license. Greene had the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person and she had bloodshot watery eyes. Greene admitted to drinking alcohol and verbally consented to standard field sobriety testing. Officers observed several indicators of impairment from her, and asked her to take a preliminary breath test. Greene consented to the test and gave a sample with a result above the legal .08 standard. Greene was taken into custody, read implied consent and asked to provide a breath sample, which she refused.

Greene was released on $1,000 bond.

NATIONAL DIGEST

Chicago wins SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Joshua Houston hit a clutch two-run single, reliever Cameron Bufford pitched a tense scoreless sixth inning, and Jackie Robinson West Little League held off gritty Philadelphia 6-5 in a matchup of innercity teams at the Little League World Series.

The loss eliminated Philadelphia and prevented star pitcher Mo’ne Davis from getting one last shot to put another stamp on what had become her personal playground.

Davis, just the 18th girl to play in the Little League World Series and the only one to win a game on the mound, played first base the first two innings against Chicago, was taken out and re-entered the game at third base in the bottom of the fifth.

The Jackie Robinson West team, comprised of all black players, is making its first appearance in 31 years in the Little League World Series. The victory sends the Great Lakes champs into the U.S. title game on Saturday against Las Vegas.

Japan advances SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Ren Takeuchi pitched into the fourth inning and drove in three runs, helping Japan beat Mexico 12-1 on Thursday to advance to the international championship of the Little League World Series.

Suguru Kanamori homered twice and drove in four runs for Japan, which plays South Korea for the title on Saturday.

Japan lost 4-2 to South Korea on Wednesday.

Rory stumbles PARAMUS, N.J. — Rory McIlroy did something on Thursday at The Barclays we haven’t seen him do very much of this season: He struggled.

McIlroy shot his first 40 for nine holes (the back nine of the course) for the first time since the Scottish Open and in a first round for the first time all season. The British Open and PGA champion went 13 holes before he made his first birdie.

September teal season bonus opportunity for Iowa hunters Iowa’s new 16-day statewide early teal season beginning Sept. 6 will provide waterfowlers an opportunity to hunt this fast-flying early migrant before it leaves for the winter.

This is a three-year experimental season timed to take advantage of the peak migration through Iowa. Iowa hunters will be evaluated for their ability to identify teal and avoid non target species.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has a webpage just for the special September teal season at www.iowadnr.gov/teal.

For avid waterfowler Chet Galetich, the season can’t get here soon enough.

“I was pretty excited to hear about it,” said Galetich, 36, from Urbandale.

“What I’m looking forward to most is the season will take place when the weather is nice, that will allow me to take my 6-year-old son out when it’s more comfortable and we can start making memories.”

Galetich has been hunting ducks and geese since his high school days in Madrid and thinks the special teal season has the potential

to bring new hunters to the sport.

“Basically you can go out and buy a dozen decoys, set up on some shallow water and be teal hunting,” he said. “And they decoy really easy which is nice.”

Preseason scouting is a great opportunity for hunters to improve their duck identification skills, said Al Hancock, waterfowl research technician with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

“Teal prefer wetlands with less than a foot of water with a mix of vegetation or wetland complexes with shallow water and mudflats,” Hancock said.

“Preseason scouting can help hunters to locate good areas by observing where teal are flying, feeding and loafing in wetlands.”

Galetich said he plans to scout his hunting areas soon to get them ready for the season.

“When the teal come in, you get a lot of shooting,” he said. “It’s kind of fast and furious when they’re around. It’s fun.”

The special September teal season has different

shooting hours than regular waterfowl seasons: shooting hours are from sunrise to sunset. Only blue-winged, green-winged and cinnamon teal are legal. No other duck species may be harvested. There is a daily bag limit of six with a possession limit of 18 teal, combined.

The Iowa DNR has scheduled six teal hunting seminars prior to the season opening: Oxford — Aug. 27, 7 p.m., Conservation Education Center, F.W. Kent Park, 2048 Hwy 6 NW. Spencer — Aug. 28, 7 p.m., Spencer High School ICN room, 800 East 3rd Street.

Burlington — Aug. 28, 7 p.m., Starr’s Cave Nature Center, 11627 Starr’s Cave Road.

Council Bluffs — Aug. 28, 6 p.m., Lewis Central Middle School, 3820 Harry Langdon Blvd.

Peosta — Aug. 28, 6:30 p.m., Swiss Valley Nature Center, 13606 Swiss Valley Road.

Lost friend’s legacy making a difference I still remember the gutwrenching feeling, the way my heart sank, the utter disbelief and then the way I felt absolutely nothing after hearing the news.

It’s been two years now since I received the news via text message that my friend Megan Boken had been shot and killed in St. Louis, the city I have come to love and call a second home.

It had to be a mistake. That’s what I kept telling myself. There was no way that whatever happened could have involved Megan.

But it soon became a harsh reality that she really was gone.

Megan and I had been paired up by our instructors in our freshman SLU 101 class, a class which helps acclimate the freshmen to life on campus.

Throughout our Boken

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker sports editor

four years at SLU, we often ran into each other in the training room or around campus.

She even made a guest appearance on my KSLU sports talk show, “The Vick Show.”

The news that she had been killed by two teenagers after she had refused to surrender them her iPhone rattled my world.

The news was made worse by the fact she was on her way to play in SLU’s alumni volleyball match, and that she had been on the phone with her mother when the crime happened.

I remember feeling a sense of relief that the fall sports season was about to begin, giving myself something to take my mind off what had happened.

Monday marked the two year anniversary of Megan’s death.

A lot has changed in those two years.

My perspective on life has changed quite a bit. It may be cliche to say that you should never take life for granted, but after Megan’s death, I definitely have a greater appreciation for life.

Because you never know when life is going to tragically end.

The SLU alumni volleyball match Megan was on her way to play in has now been renamed the Megan Boken Alumni Match. This year’s match will be held Saturday.

But perhaps the biggest, and most important change in the two years since Megan’s death, is the change her family has fought for.

The strength the Boken family showed in the aftermath of Megan’s death has been inspiring.

The Bokens have fought tooth

and nail to get cell phone manufacturers to include a technology on their phones called “kill switch” technology.

With the kill switch, any phone that is reported as lost or stolen is completely shut down, until the owner inputs a personalized passcode.

The technology renders the theft of smart phones useless.

The whole point behind stealing the smart phones was to sell them on the black market, often gouging the prices. A typical iPhone would often fetch up to $800 overseas.

But, since Apple introduced its version of the kill switch on all iPhones and iPads last fall, law enforcement officials in New York and San Francisco reported about a 30 percent drop in smart phone thefts.

Samsung introduced a kill switch in April, and Google and Microsoft plan to include the kill switch technology on their

phones when the newest models are released.

The Boken family worked closely with New York politicians, who supported a federal bill that would require cell phone companies to place the kill switches on smart phones.

No amount of work will ever be able to bring Megan back to her family, but through their strength and their hard work, their hope is to prevent other families from having to go through the pain they’ve gone through in losing Megan.

Megan always had a way of making a difference in someone’s day, usually by making a person smile or laugh.

Somehow, in death, she’s still finding a way to make a difference.

Fall baseball The Southwestern Community College baseball program is hosting a fall baseball league for high school players starting Sunday, Sept. 7. The league will run Sunday afternoons through Oct. 12 (includes the dates of Sept.

7, 14, 21, 28, Oct. 5 and 12).

Students in grades 9-12 are eligible. Eighth-graders will be considered with coach’s recommendation.

The cost is $80 per player, or $60 for each additional sibling.

During the fall league, players will be divided into teams of 12-15 players and will compete in games each week. Games will be coached, umpired, and supervised by SWCC coaches and players.

Participants will receive individual attention during the league as well.

According to Pedro Hernandez, SWCC head baseball coach, one of the new features of the league this year is an evaluation sheet for each player. During the evaluations, the SWCC baseball coaches will time participants’ base running, arm velocities, and bat speeds.

Hernandez, who was hired this summer to head SWCC’s baseball program, is anxious to get started.

“I am excited for the opportunity to evaluate the talent in our area,” stated

By PAUL SULLIVAN Chicago Tribune

Long after Wednesday night’s game had ended, Cubs head groundskeeper Roger Baird was working on the infield when manager Rick Renteria walked up and gave him a hug.

It was a nice gesture and a much-needed show of support for Baird, a good man caught in a bad situation, one that put him in the media spotlight for the first time in his two-decade career at Wrigley Field.

Baird and the Cubs grounds crew had been tossed under the bus after Tuesday night’s tarp debacle, when they couldn’t get an already soaked infield covered in time to prevent it from turning into swampland.

Everyone has a bad day.

Few of us receive as much national media attention as the Cubs grounds crew did after the longest night of their careers.

Giants announcer Mike Krukow claimed they intentionally botched the tarp deployment to ensure a Cubs victory before eventually retracting his remarks. ESPN’s Keith Olbermann included them on his daily list of “worst persons” in the sports world.

And Major League Baseball cited the Cubs for “failure to properly wrap and spool the tarp after its last use” in its news release announcing the decision to uphold the Giants’ protest, which led to the resumption of the game Thursday.

Naturally, another round of showers delayed the resumption, officially turning it into a 6-hour, 31-minute rain delay.

Taking no chances, the Cubs

employed 32 grounds crew members to pull the tarp, about twice as many as Tuesday night.

Fans gave them a mock ovation when they rolled the tarp onto the field in the late afternoon, and everyone laughed.

The grounds crew certainly wasn’t blameless in the fiasco, but in some respects they were victims of circumstance.

Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt turned out to be the Alex Gonzalez of the tarp game, getting off the hook despite his tardy decision to call for the delay in the first place.

Even worse, Wendelstedt blamed Mother Nature — a notorious White Sox fan — for her stealth attack on Wrigley.

“We watched the radar loop,” Wendelstedt said Tuesday. “Mother Nature was not raining, according to the radar. No one had any facts that saw this coming. Then it was just a bad set of unfortunate things.”

Adding to the unfortunate occurrences, some members of the Wrigley security staff were pulled off their jobs Tuesday night to assist the grounds crew after the Cubs had sent employees from the morning crew home, believing it would not rain.

Baird was unavailable for comment. The Cubs asked the grounds crew not to speak to the media, deferring to spokesman Julian Green.

“There should be no

thought or any question these guys fumbled the ball,” Green said. “They step up to the plate and do this with a guy who’s led our crew for decades. Even after (Tuesday night’s) game, I would put my money on Roger Baird every time.”

Was the decision to send employees home a factor?

“Staffing, hours and scheduling had absolutely nothing to do with Tuesday’s freak occurrence,” Green said. “There was no rain in the forecast.

The umpires saw no rain in the forecast. This was an exercise that is done before every game. Typically if there is rain in the forecast, the morning facilities crew stays on to assist the night game crew.

“In this case, since there was no rain in the forecast, the morning crew was not on hand. This is typically why, if a rain system is coming, you may see upward of 20 or 25 people on the field. In this case we had adequate numbers. There were enough guys to pull the tarp.

“Unfortunately with this freak occurrence weather system, along with the mishap with the roller, it led to a lengthy delay. The good news is per the rules in baseball … it was resolved.”

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

CNA photo by LARRY PETERSON

Heat relief: With high humidity and temperatures approaching 90 Thursday afternoon, the Creston High School volleyball

team cooled off quickly after their Activity Night scrimmage by honoring the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge presented by NAPA of Creston. Here, seniors are drenched with ice-cold water, right after the team challenged coach Brian Morrison and the Creston/O-M football staff and players; and coach Pat Schlapia and the cross country team. The challenge involves having a bucket of ice water poured on your head or donating to the ALS Association, or do both. Those challenged have 24 hours to accept or donate.

Big splash:

Murray Elementary Principal Dan Jensen gets drenched in ice water from a Bobcat inloader after school Thursday. Jensen had accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which is a social media phenomenon of people dumping a bucket of ice water on themselves and nominating other people to do the same thing. It is also a fundraiser for the ALS Association, which does global research in attempt to find treatments and a cure for the disease commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Jensen said the issue is personal to him because his brotherin-law died of ALS at the age of 44 approximately 10 years ago.

Jensen said he was doing the challenge in honor of his brotherin-law. Jensen’s daughter challenged him, and he nominated five people to do the challenge before ice water was dumped on him.

Iowa City board to discuss student sex offender A sex offender who has committed an offense against a child is not allowed on school grounds unless enrolled in that school ■

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa City Community School Board is scheduled next week to discuss where to place a student who’s required to register as a sex offender.

Superintendent Stephen Murley told the Iowa City Press-Citizen that Iowa law requires the district to offer education to all school-age

children in the district, including sex offenders who must register.

The board will discuss the issue in a closed session before Tuesday’s regular meeting.

Murley says federal privacy statutes bar district officials from releasing most information about the situation, including the student’s name, offense and which school building the student will be placed.

Karin Hamilton with the Iowa Sex Offender Registry says a sex offender who has committed an offense against a child is not allowed on school grounds unless enrolled in that school.

Dr. Oz.: Beware pure powdered caffeine

Saving stems from this idea

b July in April

He’s Back!

Steve Stults, 73, of Creston endures open heart surgery, fully recovers with help from medical professionals at Greater Regional Medical Center.

Steve Stults drew a pitching wedge from his bag last month, squared his stance and lofted his golf ball straight up the hill on hole No. 1 at Crestmoor Golf Club in Creston.

It wasn’t a pin-seeking shot.

That didn’t matter to Stults, though, who came back to his golf cart smiling.

He was just happy to be back.

See, that outing — on July 17 to be exact — was the first day the 73-year-old Stults was cleared by his cardiologist to return to the links.

Stults played that afternoon with Dick Johnston, Greg Driskell and Rick Carter. And, he’s played with that group — plus Mike Kouri — every Thursday since.

Stults said he’s especially relished each day he’s been on the course this summer — given just four short months ago he was on an operating table in Des Moines hoping to survive open heart surgery.

Discovery After 35 years, Stults retired as an optometrist at Creston Vision Clinic in 2000. He’s stayed active since then — walking at least one mile each morning in his neighborhood near McKinley Lake. However, last October he began having chest pains during his walks.

“I thought it was indigestion,” Stults said, “but the pains became more frequent heading into the winter months and I noticed they were only occurring when I exercised.”

Stults knew he had an annual exam scheduled in April with Dr. Lonny Miller at Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston.

“I decided to wait until then,” Stults said.

Come April 18, Stults told Dr. Miller about his shortness of breath and the chest pains he’d been undergoing during exercise. Miller promptly ordered a nuclear stress test for Aug. 22 with Patti Walter — cardiac rehabilitation nurse at Greater Regional.

“He failed the test,” said Steve’s wife Dee Ann Stults. “She put him on the treadmill for 4 1/2 minutes at a brisk walk. He had trouble. He was exhausted and needed to sit down after about a minute or so.”

Three blockages That testing caused Dr. Miller and Walter to immediately set up an appointment with Dr. James Lovell — one of the cardiologists from Des Moines that see patients at Greater Regional each week. Steve met with him the next day April 23.

“Dr. Lovell told us — Patti told him — he wasn’t allowed to leave Creston that day until he saw Steve,” Dee Ann said. “We are so fortunate to have a cardiologist and all the other specialty health care professionals that come here to Greater Regional.”

During the appointment, Dr. Lovell remarked that Steve “flat-out flunked” the stress test and predicted he would need open heart surgery. Lovell sent Steve to Iowa Methodist in Des Moines April 24 for further investigation whereby doctors found three arteries more than 90 percent blocked.

“My anterior descending artery was 99 percent blocked,” Steve said.

Dee Ann added: “He has since been told by several doctors — including Dr. Bob Kuhl — that with that kind of blockage, he’s very lucky to be alive.”

Steve was scheduled for open heart surgery the next day April 25 with instructions that night not to get out of his hospital bed or move — for fear he’d have a heart attack.

“I sat there all night and watched him,” Dee Ann said. “That was a scary night. I didn’t sleep.”

Steve went under the knife 10 a.m. April 25 and the surgery was successfully completed by Dr. Kent Thieman by about 1:30 p.m. There was one setback during the surgery, however.

“When they pulled my breathing tube out, my lung collapsed,” Steve said.

Family was allowed to see Steve shortly after 1:30 p.m. that day. Doctors told Steve, surprisingly, he had suffered no heart damage.

He then spent a total of five days at Iowa Methodist in Des Moines recovering before returning home to Creston.

“It would have been four days if I had not had a lung collapse,” Steve said.

“I received 90 percent of my care in Creston,” Steve Stults said.

Returning home Steve continued to recover at home in Creston for just more than one week before starting cardiac rehabilitation with Walter at Greater Regional. They met three times per week for a month and a-half.

“We started with light exercising the first week — five minutes on the bike and treadmill each,” Walter said. “We talked about reducing stress and focusing on healthy-living behaviors. He wore a heart monitor when exercising with me and we continually checked his numbers. By the time he was discharged, he was walking and biking for more than 30 minutes each session. He was a model patient.”

Stults also met with Ginny Lents — dietary director at Greater Regional — during his one-month cardiac rehabilitation. She gave him a “whole packet of information” on how to create a heart-healthy diet.

“I met with him individually and in a class setting,” Lents said. “We educate all our cardiac rehabilitation participants on how to reduce sodium and bad cholesterol in their diets. We give them a heart-healthy cookbook, which Steve’s wife was interested in, and we explained how to make food taste good without that extra salt and fat.”

For more information, or to schedule an appointment, please call 641-782-3828

Medical Arts Plaza | 1610 West Townline | Creston, IA 50801

Steve said he’s given up all fried foods since the open heart surgery and has implemented varieties of fish into his diet under the recommendations of Lents.

“I haven’t had a french fry or potato chip since,” Steve said. “French fries have been the hardest to give up because they are available every meal.”

The Stultses said “we are working on the fish” with tilapia being their favorite, thusfar, and cod their least favorite. Steve has also replaced canned vegetables — often laden with salt — with frozen vegetables.

Steve continues to strengthen his heart with this new diet. And, he also walks for a half hour five to six times per week.

He said — while the past four months have been stressful and somewhat dramatic — he’s beyond thankful for all the community support and the excellent CNA photo by KYLE WILSON care he’s received at Greater Regional Medical Center.

Steve Stults — who had open heart surgery in April — walks on the tread“I received 90 percent of my care in Creston,” Steve said. mill for Patti Walter, cardiac rehabilitation nurse at Greater Regional Medical “I’ve done everything at Greater Center in Creston. Stults completed 12 session of cardiac rehab with Walter.

Regional except the open heart surgery and a catheterization. We are so lucky to have these health professionals right here for us.

Looking back now — the way they worked so quickly — they may very well have saved my life. And, if I had advice for others, it would be to pay attention to any chest pain. Just get it checked out.”

Protein packs a power punch (Family Features) Whether you’re training for your first half marathon or a busy mom on-thego, there’s no question that protein is essential to keeping your body in top physical form. Lugging around heavy grocery bags? Chasing after kids? Protein increases strength by rebuilding damaged muscle tissue, and helps promote stamina since it takes longer to digest. No question about it - protein has certainly earned its reputation as the workhorse for your body!

Protein can be found in a wide range of foods, including meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, soy, nuts and seeds. Foods like these with high protein content help slow digestion, control appetite, and keep you feeling full longer. Choosing lean proteins and making sure you are getting a variety of protein-filled foods are two ways to get the most from your nutrition plan.

There are also a variety of nutritious snacks that can help you capture extra protein as part of a balanced diet. For example, a LUNA Protein bar is a gluten-free bar made from a blend of soy and whey protein. With less than 200 calories, it provides satiation to keep you feeling full, along with 12 grams of soy and whey protein and 3 grams of fiber.

Finally, it is important to remember that how much protein you need depends on your activity level. For example, a 140-pound woman who has a primarily sedentary lifestyle needs 56 grams per day, while a 140-pound woman who participates in regular, highimpact exercise may need as much as 119 grams of protein per day.

Remember that a pre or postworkout snack with vitamins and nutrients is especially important

to help you power through your sweat session. Tara DelloIaconoThies, Registered Dietitian for LUNA, suggests these proteinrich snack ideas: • Celery sticks, carrots, or apple slices with nut butter • Hard-boiled egg with salt and pepper on whole wheat bread • 1 protein-rich bar, such as

LUNA Protein Bar • Plain Greek yogurt topped with seasonal fruit • Low sodium turkey meat rolled up with lettuce, low fat cheese, mustard and veggies of your choice For more healthy tips to help incorporate protein in your daily diet, visit www.lunabar.com.

Beware pure powdered caffeine North Americans love coffee: Canada has 40 Starbucks for every million residents. That beats the U.S., where there are around 36 locations per million people! And Hispanics are the most coffee-lovin’: 76 percent of adult Hispanic Americans say they drank coffee in the past 24 hours, while 64 percent of whites and 47 percent of blacks make that claim.

There are lots of good reasons to love drinking coffee. If you’re a fast caffeine metabolizer (you don’t get a headache, heart flutters, an upset tummy or anxiety from caffeinated coffee), it can help you reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes, improve mental focus, enhance consolidation of long-term memory and fuel good gut bacteria (those guys rule your heath in so many ways).

So it’s not a surprise that someone came up with the really bad idea that pure powdered caffeine could deliver even more of the brew’s benefits. Wrong!

It’s all risk and no reward.

In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a consumer health advisory to avoid pure powered caffeine products. Why? Well, a single teaspoon equals 25 cups of coffee! And depending on your age, weight and sensitivity, 1-2 teaspoons can trigger a rapid or dangerously erratic heartbeat, seizures, vomiting, diar-

rhea, stupor, disorientation — even death.

So for an energy boost, stick with a morning cup or three of Joe, or caffeinated water. Fuel your day with seven to eight hours of sleep every night, and you’ll have the concentration and clarity of mind to excel at whatever challenge you’re facing. That’s all reward, no risk.

DO IT IN THE MORNING (AND FEEL ENERGIZED ALL DAY) Dr. Mike was walking through his Wellness Center one afternoon when he heard a member of a yoga class comment: “I love doing it early in the morning, but it makes me late for work sometimes.” That got him thinking about all the benefits of morning workouts (what did you think we were talking about?) and how to make sure you can take advantage of them.

Physical activity in the morning helps reduce blood pressure during the day and boosts brain power (cognitive function and mental acuity) for four to 10 hours.

You also rev up your metabolism, so you burn more calories all day and have a sounder, deeper sleep that night. In addition, getting

active in the morning makes it easier to stick with your workout schedule; several studies show that more than 90 percent of the most consistent exercisers do it in the morning.

One of Dr. Mike’s favorite early-morning routines is interval training, especially when you are pressed for time. It’s a great way to make sure you burn calories, increase cardio fitness and reap all the other benefits — and still make it to work on time. In a walking routine, he suggests, you walk fast enough for four minutes to start sweating; return to a slower pace for three minutes; repeat the cycle for 30 minutes.

Doesn’t that feel great?

And if you were thinking about doing something else aerobic for a little cardioaction in the morning, that’s good for body and soul, too!

INTAKE CONTROL FOR CLEAN PLATE CLUB MEMBERS When Leonardo DaVinci painted “The Last Supper” around 1492, the food on the table (including eel with orange slices) was pretty sparse, and the dishes were small. But, according to a study of 52 of the bestknown renditions of that

occasion, the more recent paintings show entrees that are 69 percent larger than in earlier depictions and serving plates that are 66 percent larger!

Any surprise that people have gotten larger, too?

Seventy percent of North Americans are now overweight or obese! One reason: The super-size supper dishes and the heaps of food on them make it difficult to limit your intake. That’s because, according to a new study — young or old, male or female, from North America or halfway around the globe — most adults eat 92 percent of whatever is on their plate.

So if you’re looking to cut your calorie intake and lose weight (one pound a week), we suggest you burn an extra 200 calories a day (if you weigh 150, that’s walking three, 20-minute miles) and eliminate around 300 calories by shrinking the plate and eating leaner.

For breakfast: Use a bowl that holds 1 cup wholegrain cereal and 1/2 cup skim milk. For supper go with a 6-8 inch plate; fill 1/3 with one layer of lean protein (about 3-6 ounces) and the rest with 1/2 to 1 cup of whole grains, and around 2 cups of veggies.

Then, even if you clean your plate, you’ll be on track for a healthier weight, a better brain and a much younger RealAge. KEGELS FOR MEN

When urogynecologists in Grand Rapids, Michigan, helped set up the “Laugh Don’t Leak” comedy show last year, they wanted to become rainmakers for the National Association for Continence. And while that fundraiser didn’t leave a dry (eye) in the house, we think they could have followed it up with a “Can You Kegel?” after-party for guys.

Most guys don’t know that pelvic floor muscle exercises (called Kegels) that help women control bladder problems and enhance orgasm can help them too.

The 16 percent of older men who are incontinent, the 52 percent of men with some degree of erectile dysfunction, the 50 percent of guys 51 to 60 with benign prostatic hyperplasia and the 30 percent of men who experience premature ejaculation can all benefit.

Here’s the routine: Next time you’re urinating, stop the flow. You’ve just used the muscles you want to strengthen. Now, empty your bladder and try the routine: Contract your pelvic floor muscles — tight — for three seconds; relax for three seconds. Aim for 10 repetitions, three times a day, day after day.

One more thing: We know there’s a new silicone penis barbell (we kid you not!) that slips around the shaft. It’s designed to make Kegels more of a workout.

But we think your first

choice should be a combo of standard Kegels with a total body workout (walking 10,000 steps a day; getting a half-hour of strength training two to three days a week). That’ll help you lose weight and improve your circulation and your attitude — and that’s guaranteed to make your love life livelier.

NO RAW DEAL FOR YOUR PET Professional wrestler Daniel Bryan got a RAW (Real Action Wrestling) deal when he was kicked out of the WWE for fakestrangling a ring announcer.

But he re-emerged the next year, and in 2012 won the WWE United States Championship and an award from PETA for being the “Most Animal-Friendly Athlete.”

Seems when it comes to professional wrestling, a raw deal is good for your career — and your status as an animal lover. But the latest raw trend in pet food is definitely not. So it’s time for a Raw Pet Diet Smackdown.

Raw pet food often contains meat, bones and organs that are easily contaminated with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes — bacteria that are dangerous for pets and pet owners.

You both can end up with nausea, diarrhea and fever.

For the elderly, young children, pregnant women and the immunocompromised, these infections can be life-

ENTERTAINMENT Saving stems from this idea Dear Readers: Want to save food money by using what you probably throw away? Here’s how I use the STEMS OF BROCCOLI (why toss edible food out?), and it’s tasty too. I use a vegetable peeler to strip off the thick skin, then cut up the now-softer stems into small slivers. I add them to salads, soup or other veggies that I’m cooking. You even can add them to tuna salad, etc., for a little crunch. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com COMPOSTING 101 Dear Heloise: I just moved into a house with a big backyard and want to try composting. Do you have any helpful hints? — S.L. in San Antonio Sure do, and good for you!

First thing is to designate the right space. Pick a sunny area, and make the enclosure large enough for the amount of “waste product” you think will be generated. Then start saving things! Vegetable peelings, eggshells, coffee grounds,

Hints from Heloise grass clippings and the like are good. You also can add dead leaves, twigs, etc. Having equal parts of brown material (coffee grounds, twigs, etc.) and green material (grass clippings, vegetable bits, etc.) is what is best to use. Mix in several shovelfuls of soil. The pile should be damp, so add water as needed and turn at least once a week.

Composting can make rich soil and mulch for your yard and flower beds. It also is great to put around new saplings to keep weeds away. — Heloise P.S.: What not to add?

Meat, fish or dairy products.

Too many wild critters will be looking for dinner!

TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: When I was younger, I did a lot of international travel. In European countries, many hotels do not supply washcloths, which is something most Americans are accustomed to. I would take a well-used towel and cut it into washcloth-size squares,

and pack a generous supply.

After use, they can be discarded. It was nice to not have to use the corner of a big towel.

NO FUSS OR MUSS Dear Heloise: We decided to paint the stairs in our house. We weren’t sure how to go about it, because we still needed to use them while we were painting. It took us a while, but we painted one step at a time. We easily could skip the step that was wet, and still were able to use them while painting. — Cheryl M., via email Great idea! Another way is to paint every other step, leaving the others unpainted. Wait for the painted steps to dry, and then paint the other ones.
