he classroom buzzes with the low hum of conversation mixed with concen-

tration.

In one corner, senior Jacob Routh works on setting up a 3D printer. In another, sophomore Desi Osterhout and junior Cydney Seley sit on blue-green patterned armchairs, looking through Google Cardboard goggles that use smartphones to create virtual-reality experiences. At a long, markerboard-surfaced table in the room’s center, a group of students builds robots from Cubelets, box-shaped elements that use sensors to perform different functions. Another group builds circuits using a kit with snap-on pieces.

On Wednesday, Osterhout used the device to simulate a roller coaster, while Seley used it to simulate an elevator.

These students belong to one of Anthony Donahoo’s Environmental and Spatial Technology classes at Creston Community Schools. Better known by the acronym EAST, these classes combine the use of technology with community service.

This year, Donahoo’s EAST students are in the process of testing and dis-

covering the new equipment in one of Creston’s two brand-new next-generation learning spaces, also called 21st century classrooms.

Creston Schools furnished the classrooms — one in the high school and one in the elementery/middle school — in partnership with the Green Hills Area Education Agency. The

classrooms are two of the first constructed in southwest Iowa and will be used by teachers in the district beginning next week.

Each of the two rooms contains many of the same furniture elements: tables with markerboard tops and raised chairs, flat-screen Please see CLASSROOM, Page 2

Local organization Mommies of Angels is hosting its fifth-annual fundraiser event Saturday at McKinley Park.

The group, which focuses on helping families who have lost children, is having the event from noon to 3 p.m. near the bear statue in McKinley Park.

“While it will be more of just a lunch this year, we will still do our Mommies unity lap,” said Amy Lohoff, organizer.

“That is the point of our entire e v e n t : Lohoff strength in numbers. No one should go through the lost of a child alone.”

Lohoff said 90 event T-shirts have been sold already, and she expects more to be purchased at the event.

Lunch will be chili and Subway sandwiches. Children can play in a bouncy house, or take a ride with a horse and buggy. There will also be a balloon release in memory of the children families have lost.

“Since we’ve already been in those shoes, we use our experiences to help others, which in turn ends up helping us with our own grieving process,” Lohoff said.

There will also be a raffle for a family season pass to the Creston swimming pool donated by Creston Parks and Recreation members, a mini photo session donated

by Taycey Post Photography and a family movie basket made of $120 of Strand Theatre coupons. Raffle tickets are $5 each, or six for $20. The drawing will be at 3 p.m., and winners do not need to be present to win.

According to Lohoff, because children born after a loss are considered “rainbow children,” all money raised during the fundraiser will be donated to Rainbow Park.

Biden still steeped in indecision WASHINGTON (AP) — Long past the time Joe Biden hoped to announce his plans for 2016, the vice president is still steeped in indecision, breeding uncertainty among Democrats eagerly looking for clues to whether he’ll run for president.

For those hoping he’ll enter the race, he’s offering obvious winks: His staff is poring over filing deadlines and courting potential donors while Biden drops ca-

sual references to the presidential campaign into his public speeches.

“I’m not Bernie Sanders,” he said Thursday evening, bringing up the Democratic presidential candidate unprompted during a speech on public-private partnerships in New York. “He’s a great guy, by the way. He really is. I’m not a populist. But Please see BIDEN, Page 2

Deaths Richard Adkisson Shenandoah

Richard D. Adkisson, 71, of Shenandoah died Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015 at the Shenandoah Medical Center.

Memorial graveside services conducted by the family will be held 11:30 a.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 6, in Evergreen Cemetery in Red Oak. Memorials are to be directed to the family. Online condolences may be left at www. sldfuneralhome.com. Sellergren-Lindell-DeMarce Funeral Home, 509 Sixth St., in Red Oak is assisting with cremation services.

Richard Dean Adkisson, son of Fred and Opal (Marshall) Adkisson, was born Sept. 22, 1944, at Diagonal.

Delores Shade Creston

Delores Shade, 84, of Creston died Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015 at Creston Nursing and Rehab Center.

Delores has been cremated and no services are planned at this time.

Memorials may be directed to the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1000 Cottonwood Road, Creston, Iowa 50801, and online condolences may be left for the family at www.ochiltree.com.

Delores Marie Stoneburner was born Dec. 9, 1930 in Boone County, Iowa, the daughter of Claude and Gladys (Callahan) Stoneburner. Her marriage to Murray Shade took place on Nov. 23, 1949 in West Des Moines.

Richard was raised in the Creston area. He later moved to Roseville, Illinois and helped his father working on grain bins and was a truck driver. Richard moved back to New Market in 1980 and worked as an over-theroad truck driver.

Richard is survived by his children, Shelly Adkisson of Creston and Lance Adkisson of New Market; 12 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; brothers, Rollan Adkisson of Illinois and Robert Adkisson of Roseville, Illinois; sisters, Juanita Saville of Arizona and Charlene Chubick of Roseville, Illinois; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents; son Michael Shane Adkisson and sister Alice Young.

During her working years she was employed by the Creston hospital and later was a self-employed caregiver who helped many older folks in the Creston community. All this said, she was a devoted wife and mother who loved her family and cherished the time spent with them.

Delores is survived by her companion and loving husband of 65 years, Murray Shade; a daughter, Leona (Steve) Shephard, all of Creston; five grandchildren; two sisters, Betty (Roger) Reynoldson of Pilot Mound and Loretta Wolf of Boone; extended family and a host of friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; a son, Michael (Brenda) Shade and two brothers, Harold and Russell Stoneburner.

BIDEN: Continued from Page 1

I’m a realist.”

Behind the scenes, his small team of political advisers has been quietly reaching out to Democrats who could join the campaign in senior roles, including State Department official Marie Harf and former Obama campaign official Paul Tewes.

But those doubting he’ll really run have ample evidence, too.

The latest sign of wavering came as several people close to Biden said his decision is likely to drag on until later in October, making it highly unlikely he’ll be on stage for the first Democratic primary debate on Oct. 13.

One directive from Biden has been clear: His decision will not be rushed, according to several people who have spoken to him in recent days.

While the prospect of running is still real, Biden is in the same place he’s been for weeks: deeply conflicted about his family’s readiness for the rigors of a campaign following his son’s death in May, said the individuals, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Biden has said repeatedly it will be a family decision, but the individuals said Biden has yet to hold a formal family sit-down to make a final call.

Amid the mixed signals, Democrats awaiting his decision say each day that passes leads to more skepticism that he’d have enough time to mount a competitive bid. David Axelrod, a longtime adviser to President Barack Obama, said Biden has “ceded a long head start to others,” and making up for lost time gets harder and harder each day.

“His bet is that disaffection with Hillary (Rodham Clinton) will allow him to peel away some of her donors and operatives,” Axelrod said. “He’s a well-liked figure within the party, but unless she flat-out collapses — which I don’t foresee — he would have his work cut out for him.”

Harf, a senior adviser for strategic communications to Secretary of State John Kerry, has been in contact with Biden’s team about a top communications job, people familiar with the planning said.

She was deeply involved with the Iran nuclear negotiations, including the effort to line up votes from skeptical lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and also worked on Obama’s re-election.

TVs that can display images from students’ personal devices, cushioned areas for more relaxed activities, green screen areas for creating broadcasts, a Smart Kapp markerboard that transfers the board’s contents to digital devices, and an interactive projector.

Each room also has a closet full of technology like GoPro cameras, circuitry sets and robotics of all shapes, sizes and functions.

Finding what works Stephanie Mikkelsen, Green Hills Area Education Agency technology integration specialist, said a major role for these classrooms is seeing how these new technological elements benefit instruction. She said the main goals include increased student achievement, increased student engagement and learning; and increased student and teacher literacy with technology.

“A big thing about these classrooms is a lot of research and development: What works? What doesn’t work?

What are the students using?

What’s really helping the teachers enhance their lessons?” Mikkelsen said.

Teachers will have the opportunity to use these spaces for their classes by signing up to use them for certain periods. Mikkelsen said eventually, these elements might be working their way into other classrooms.

“We’re trying to create all the experiences (here) that they might want just so they can get an idea what they might want in their classroom,” she said.

Today, Creston is holding a 21st century classroom open house as part of the Green Hills AEA’s 21st Century Learners’ Conference, also being held at Creston High School. Mikkelsen, Donahoo and technology assistant Teri Keeler, along with some students, are presenting the technology and the vision for it to educators from around the area.

“Part of the partnership between Creston and Green Hills AEA was to make these rooms available to start conversations with other districts, as well, and give them an opportunity to see how this room might enhance student experiences,” Mikkelsen said. “The doors these rooms can open for our students really create endless possibilities.”

Creston Superintendent Steve McDermott said when he was hired in 2013, boosting Creston’s use of technology was one of his top “marching orders” from the school board.

McDermott said he worked closely with Green Hills AEA to brainstorm the possibilities, and they discussed partnering to create the learning spaces.

Green Hills AEA provided the technology equipment, a total of about $89,000, and Creston funded the furniture and other renovations to the room, a total of about $68,000, plus an additional amount for a video conference network that will allow students and teachers

“We have a lot invested in these two spaces, but again in terms of research and development and in terms of just terrifically expanded student learning opportunities, we just felt like the investment was worth it,” McDermott said. “We’ll watch our return on our investment to see how it goes.”

McDermott said his hope is that teachers are eventually “fighting over the use of that space.”

But he also said he realizes it might take some time before people use the space to its full potential.

“Like I told people, we have a new Harley in the garage, and we’ve been riding a bike, so we need to climb off the bike and learn how to ride the Harley,” McDermott said.

McDermott said he is already looking into applying for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) grant to expand technology offerings, which may include putting a similar room in the Early Childhood Center.

As for the immediate future, Donahoo said the high school students have been loving the new technology.

“I’ve been letting the kids free-range discover, and they’ve been coming out with some amazing stuff,” he said.

“I’ve had at least three kids a day tell me how cool this is. I love to hear the words ‘how cool’ and ‘fun.’”

And, he said, it provides an open range of opportunities for the EAST students.

Sheets lack lasting quality Dear Heloise: Earlier this year, I volunteered to purchase NEW BEDSHEETS, as ours were looking worn. I went to a major department store and purchased some good-looking sheets with a midrange thread count. Now, six months later, the sheets are worn and need replacing.

What did I do wrong? — Confused Husband in Belton, Texas P.S.: Hope to see this in your column in the Temple Daily Telegram.

Dear Confused: Here it is, and hello to my friends in Temple, Texas. I had such a wonderful time when I was there for my speech.

You might have done nothing wrong. If you followed the manufacturer’s instructions for care, six months is ridiculous! How often do you launder them? For most people, it’s once a week. You should have two or three sets to alternate, which cuts down on wear and tear. Six months of washing once a week is only 26 washings, and even if washed twice a week, that’s 52 times.

Who is doing the laundry?

Most sheets don’t need to be washed using the hottest water, and definitely do NOT need bleach, unless someone in the household is sick and

Hints from Heloise you have concerns. Drying on the highest heat setting will shorten the life, too.

If you feel it’s the sheets, take them back. Or, try my HELLO-EASE HINT: Call the manufacturer. Tell them your concerns and see what they say. — Hugs, Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com REUSE MASCARA BRUSHES Dear Heloise: I enjoy your column in The (Alton, Ill.) Telegraph. My hint is to save old mascara brushes. I wash mine, then put them in the dishwasher to be sure they are really clean. I use them mostly to clean the holes in hummingbird feeders, but they come in handy anytime you need to get into small spaces. — Karen in Illinois

FAMILY CIRCUS® by Bill Keane

LOCKHORNS® by Hoest & Reiner

Karen, you just taught this mascara lover a new hint! I, too, save the brushes and clean them. I have both old mascara brushes and several hummingbird feeders. The little holes in the feeder are hard to clean. I used a toothpick, but no more!

The brushes are handy as a brow brush, an eyelash separator, to clean jewelry, to dust small crevices in figurines, and are perfect for the teapot spout. Thanks again. — Heloise EARPLUGS Dear Heloise: I always pack several earplugs in my suitcase and carry-on bag. They can come in so handy! Slip them in on a long plane ride to get in a nap. Use them at the hotel if you have noisy neighbors. — Gigi N. in Australia BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker LAUNDRY-ROOM HINT Dear Heloise: Our laundry room is at the far side of the house from the bedrooms. We bought an older, used walker with wheels and a fold-down seat. So easy to put the laundry basket on the seat of the walker and roll it where it needs to go. I fold the clothes in the living room and then wheel it on to the bedroom when finished.

Horoscope Saturday, Oct. 3, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a loosey-goosey day, so tread carefully. It’s a poor day for important decisions (a bad day to buy anything other than food or gas).

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a poor day to shop, because whatever you buy, you will likely regret it later.

It’s OK to buy food and gas — but that’s it. Likewise, postpone financial decisions until tomorrow.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a carefree, creative day!

Enjoy goofing off with others or tackling artistic projects.

Stay light on your feet so that you can be flexible.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might not feel like working today. Fear not; it’s not a particularly productive day for many people. It is what it is, just go gently.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with friends will be warm and friendly today. Enjoy your interaction with groups and meetings; however, postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. This might even surprise you. Don’t react; stay mum. By tomorrow, you will know what to do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You want to escape somewhere today because you don’t feel like working. You want a change of scenery or a chance to do something different.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Although you might be concerned with red-tape matters, this is a poor day to make financial decisions. Just get your information and make your decision tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a difficult day for partners and close friends.

Anything can happen because the Moon is opposite your sign, but it’s a squirrely day.

Patience is your best ally.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Expect delays, shortages and mild confusion at work today. You might be similarly confused about a health issue or something to do with a pet.

This will pass.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a wonderful, cre-

ative day for your sign. It’s great for artists, and it’s great for anyone who has to come up with a new slant on something or see things in a fresh light.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It will please you to cocoon at home today. You don’t feel too ambitious. It’s also a poor day to shop for domestic items other than food or gas.

YOU BORN TODAY You are socially aware of the impression you create; and of the trends in society. (You’re hip.)

You are always professional.

This is the year you have been waiting for. It’s a time of expansion and great activity. Take advantage of opportunities. A major change might take place, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your wings!

Marilyn Engelson of the program committee introduced Mark who reviewed the book “The Glass Castle”

by Jeannette Walls. “The Glass Castle” is an incredible memoir. It tells of the survival of four children growing up in a severely dysfunctional family. When Rex Walls, the dad, was sober, he was brilliant and charismatic. He taught his children physics, geology and many life skills which included learning to shoot his pistol.

But when he drank, he was dishonest, mean, destructive and dangerous. Rose Mary, the mother, was a free spirit who never accepted the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children, Lori, Jeannette, Brian and Maureen, learned to take care of themselves and each other from a very early age. It was a chaotic and heartbreaking childhood and they endured much hunger and cold but to the Walls children it was merely their life. They fed, clothed and protected one another. Miraculously they all escaped from Welch, a poor coal mining town in West Virginia. They made it to New York City and became successful and contributing adults. Their parents followed them to New York City choosing to be homeless and existing on the streets even as their children prospered. This book was written in 2005 and was on the New

HEALTH

5 surprising superfoods for baby boomers (BPT) — An estimated 77 million baby boomers represent the largest generation of Americans born in U.S. history. Many are embracing their golden years and taking a proactive approach to their well-being. If you are a boomer, you understand nutrition is fundamental to maintaining your health. But do you know some foods are particularly powerful in helping you age well?

“Certain foods provide nutrients that are extremely beneficial for baby boomers,” says Kristen Johnson, registered dietician, nutrition expert at On Target Living, and author of the newly released cookbook “Target To Table: Healthy and Delicious Meals One Superfood at a Time.”

“Eating these superfoods regularly is one of the easiest yet most impactful things boomers can do for their health.”

Johnson’s top five superfoods for baby boomers include: Super seeds Certain seeds, like flax, chia and hemp seeds, have extensive health benefits and more boomers are incorporating them into

their daily meals and snacks.

“Flaxseeds and chia seeds are high in omega-3s and fiber and contain antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties,” says Johnson.

“Hemp seeds are high in healthy omega-6s, along with being high in protein.

These super seeds help balance hormones and can also help with digestion.”

Easy ways to start incorporating seeds into your daily routine is to add them to smoothies or sprinkle on yogurt or oatmeal.

Fresh cold water fish “On top of being a delicious lean protein, fish is

loaded with omegas-3s that keep our brains healthy as we age,” says Johnson.

“EPA and DHA are the type of omega-3 fat found in fish and are especially important for a healthy heart, hormonal balance, energy and mood.”

Since most of us don’t have access to fresh, wildcaught or cold-water fish on a daily basis, she suggests taking a high-quality cod liver oil daily, like Nordic Naturals Orange-Flavored Cod Liver Oil. “There’s no fishy smell and a quality you can taste,” says Johnson.

“Also, cod liver oil naturally

contains vitamin D, which is needed to absorb calcium.”

Super vegetables “Vegetables provide many nutrients, including potassium, fiber, folate, vitamins A, E, C and are alkalizing, meaning they neutralize acids in the body and help your body thrive and stay mineralized,” says Johnson.

Try to get a variety of super vegetables into your daily diet including leafy greens, bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms, beets, celery, carrots, onions and garlic.

Leafy greens and broccoli are especially high in cal-

cium and vitamin C needed to keep your immune system healthy and prevent sickness. Beets and celery are extremely detoxifying.

Garlic is part of the onion family and contributes to a healthy immune system while helping to lower inflammation.

Super fruits “Fruits are packed with flavor and are high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, cancer-fighting antioxidants, and are extremely alkalizing,” says Johnson.

Strive to get a variety of super fruits in your daily diet including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, lemons, limes, apples and bananas. Dried fruits like figs, dates, goji berries and raisins are high in the calming mineral magnesium which helps to relax the mind and body and aid in digestion.

Organic virgin coconut oil Lately there has been a lot of buzz about coconut oil and for good reason, explains Johnson. “Coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat high in lauric, capric and caprylic acids which have antiviral and antifungal

properties contributing to a healthy digestion,” she says.

“Coconut oil also contains medium-chain fatty acids that can aid in a healthy metabolism.”

Try using coconut oil in baked goods or to replace other oils when saut√©ing or stir-frying. It’s also a fantastic butter substitute on toast and other foods.

Start the day on the right foot with this easyto-make smoothie that features several of Johnson’s recommended superfoods.

This recipe can be found on Johnson’s blog at www. targettotable.com.

Rise and Shine Smoothie Serves 3 Ingredients: 2 cups carrot juice 1 cup kale or spinach 1 banana 2 cups frozen or fresh berries 2 tablespoons chia or flaxseeds 2 tablespoons hemp seeds 1 tablespoon Nordic Naturals Orange Flavored Cod Liver Oil Directions: Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

Eating on the run: Preoccupation nixes food memories When you see a photo of Gisele Bundchen gobbling a slice of pizza before hitting the catwalk or Will Smith spoonin’ lunch into his mouth as he walks down the street, they seem like regular folks doin’ what you do ... eating not-so-good-foryou snacks on the run.

Surveys show that most of you grab and go three or more times a day, often instead of having a nutritious meal. Around 19 percent of North Americans’ total food intake comes via dashboard dining, and we bet that just as often you’re munching a snack as you run around the office, at home or outside.

Well, put down that onthe-run snack! A new U.K. study found that women who snacked while walking later ate five times as much chocolate as women who snacked while watching TV. (And eating in front of the TV already has been shown to trigger excess eating at your next meal!)

So why does eating while you’re running around stimulate hunger? Seems satiety and satisfaction come from a combo of calories and food memory, and you don’t make tasty memories when you’re preoccupied with walking and not concentrating on what you’re munching. We say choose mindful eating.

Mindful eating is recognizing when you’re hungry — and when you’re not. And when you do eat, whether you’re brown-bagging it or having a sit-down family dinner, give each bite your full attention. Experts say that this simple act may reduce the amount of food you eat by one-third. So

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

say “OM” before you say “Yum!” LAUGHTER AND LOVE “When you’re laughing, when you’re laughing, the sun comes shining through” are lyrics to the song “When You’re Smiling,” immortalized by Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra. And they got it just right: Real, spontaneous laughter between two people can signal a truly happy connection.

Recently, researchers at the University of Kansas learned a little something extra while searching for a link between humor and intelligence. (They never did find that!) Seems that if you meet a person you find romantically appealing and try to break the ice with humor, you’re set up for a fast thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

(The study looked at guys using that approach, but we say man, woman, gay, straight, it matters not.)

You see, if the other person laughs at what you’ve said, chances are very good that he or she is interested in getting to know you better.

The real deal-sealer? If the two of you end up laughing together.

What’s the magic in mirth? The theory is that laughter releases feel-good neurotransmitters such as endorphins, reduces stress, benefits the cardiovascular system (listen to your heart beating just a touch faster) and is a source of positive

energy.

So, if you’re going solo and want some laugh-time benefits, we suggest you consider Laughter Yoga!

That’s right: pose, stretch, giggle, repeat! And if you and a potential love interest have a howling good time at laughing yoga class together, well, we think it might be time to start measuring for new curtains!

THE SOUR SIDE OF SWEET The 2008 film “Sugar” tells the tale of a Dominican baseball player, Miguel “Sugar” Santos, who was recruited to play in the U.S. It showed how hard it was for the 19-year-old from the Dominican Republic to adjust to life in Iowa. While Sugar may have seemed to be headed for a sweet life, it was a rocky road for him.

For tens of millions of you, the taste of added sugar is just as sweet and just as rocky. The typical North American eats around 20 teaspoons of added sugar daily (320 calories), fueling everything from heart disease to obesity to cancer, and it’s hidden in everything from sauces and condiments to frozen dinners.

Finally, the Food and Drug Administration has proposed that the nutrition label on packaged foods tell you how much sugar has been poured into them! The goal accepted by the FDA is to limit your intake of added sugars to 10 percent of your

daily caloric intake — or 200 calories a day, if you eat 2,000. The American Heart Association says women should aim for 6 teaspoons (96 calories), men for 9 (144 calories). We say, aim to eliminate all added sugar from your diet!

You can bust your sugar cravings by eating slow carbs (nonstarchy veggies, 100 percent whole grains and low-sugar fruits), lean protein and healthy fat (12 walnut halves, 1/4 avocado or 10 olives) at every meal.

For more details, check out the “14-Day Plan to Shut Down Your Sugar Cravings” at www.doctoroz.com.

AMA SAYS KNOCK IT OFF! At the beginning of the 1982 film “Rocky III,” Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) steps into the ring with Hulk Hogan (Thunderlips).

The boxing and wrestling champs mix it up for a charity match, and the result is chaos — and a good laugh, at the time.

Ten years later, in real life, they started bundling combat sports such as kickboxing, muay thai, jiujitsu, other martial arts, plus wrestling and boxing. That’s not a laughing matter. Televised bouts, sponsored by groups such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship, bring bell-ringing (that’s concussions), blood and serious injury to apparently unflinching fans.

Well, the AMA has had enough. Their new position statement opposes all forms of combat sports: “These sports are a public demonstration of interpersonal violence, which is unique among sporting activities.”

They also recommend prohibiting all combat sports for kids under 18. Now, the AMA we’re talking about is the Australian Medical Association (not our American Medical Association — yet), but we think parents and kids everywhere should know how dangerous combat sports are and just say no.

Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic looked at data from the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study. They focused on 131 mixed martial arts fighters and 93 boxers, ages 18-44, who averaged 10 matches.

They found those who had been in four fights were 8.8 percent slower in brain processing speed than those who had never fought.

Overall, the more fights they had, the smaller their brain volume in areas that control consciousness and voluntary movement. Still a fan?

A POX ON YOUR CLUBHOUSE! In early September, the Kansas City Royals were leading their MLB division.

Then a pox landed on their clubhouse; chickenpox, that is. Star relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera and right fielder Alex Rios came down with the disease. They’re from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, respectively, where vaccines — and chickenpox as a childhood disease — are not common.

In this country, where the chickenpox vaccine was added to the childhood immunization schedule in 1995 (the booster in 2006), chickenpox is pretty rare. But chickenpox is a highly contagious disease, and players

come in constant contact with other players, coaches, reporters and fans — who may be immune because they’ve had CP or been inoculated, or not.

When an adult gets the chickenpox, severe complications can follow. They include: bacterial infections of the skin, soft tissues, bones, joints or bloodstream; pneumonia; toxic shock syndrome; Reye’s syndrome if you’re taking aspirin; and encephalitis (dysfunction of the brain often follows, as does a decrease in coordination). Dr. Steven Gordon, chairman of the department of infectious diseases at Dr. Mike’s Cleveland Clinic, told CBS News, chickenpox “can be more severe in adults, but it’s especially a concern for pregnant women. The fatality rate can be quite high.”

So if you or anyone in your family isn’t immune, don’t be a “Royal Nincompoop.” Get inoculated ASAP. If you catch chickenpox, best case is itchy blisters all over your body, (scratch them and you scar) and you miss two weeks of work. Worst case? Dr. Gordon just told you. *** 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.

How to add healthy years to your life STAMFORD, Conn. — It is staggering to realize that the number of people who live to 100 or beyond increased by 51 percent between 1990 and 2000. The average life expectancy in the United States is currently 78.8 years, which has increased significantly from 75.62 in 1995.

It’s not just about living to an older age, it’s about maintaining your health and vitality as well. In the Sept. 15 issue, Bottom Line Personal has some advice from Professor of Medicine, Henry S. Lodge, MD, FACP an internist, and the Robert Burch Family Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center.

There are some very simple

steps you can take to stay mentally and physically fit to a ripe old age.

Some of these tips may seem quite obvious, but people simply aren’t living by these simple rules. If they did, it could mean living better, longer and healthier.

- Exercise more as you get older — all types of exercise. It is recommended to vary your exercise routine to keep it interesting and to provide both aerobic and muscle development. Try lifting weights a couple of days a week and then do some aerobic exercise four days a week.

Join a gym and sign up for group classes because it’s more fun to work out with other people.

- Give up white foods.

Strictly limit white potatoes, white rice, white bread and white pasta. Even though simple carbohydrates have only about half the calories of fat, they’re more likely to cause weight gain because they act like pure sugar in the body. White foods cause surges in insulin that trigger inflammation and increase the risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Another important diet recommendation is to give up the processed junk food and replace it with natural foods that haven’t been processed.

- Stay connected. Make plans with friends and connect with other people.

Make new friends. A few

caring relationships can extend your life. Consider adopting a dog, cat or even a bird. Emotional connections formed with animals can rival, in terms of health benefits, those that we form with fellow humans. One study looked at dog ownership in heart attack patients. In the study, people who didn’t have a dog were six to eight times more likely to die of a second heart attack than those who did.

The things you need to do to live a longer, healthier life are simple, but they’re not easy. If they were, everyone would be living to 100. Surround yourself with friends and pets, eat well and keep exercising.

Murray serves up ‘Pink Out’ winner

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

DIAGONAL — Thursday’s Bluegrass Conference volleyball match here between Diagonal and Murray was about more than just volleyball.

It served as Diagonal’s “Pink Out” to raise funds which will be used to purchase chemotherapy bags for chemotherapy patients at Ringgold County Hospital and Greater Regional Medical Center.

But it was Murray that served its way past Diagonal in a 25-6, 25-7, 25-10 sweep.

The Lady Mustangs served 71-of-72 as a team with 14 total aces, led by Zoie Lecy’s seven aces on 21-21 serving.

Madison Lecy Gonseth served 1414 with one ace.

“Our serving has been a lot better recently,” Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. “Against Central De-

catur, we went 100 percent.

I think we were 93 or 94 percent last time we played and I think we probably had to be better than that tonight.

Serving is one thing we’ve

been working on a lot and it’s starting to come around for us.”

On the other side, Diagonal struggled to gain any traction in the match. Serv-

PERRY — Creston senior Cooper McDermott picked up his second meet victory of the season here Thursday at the Leon Fox Invitational.

McDermott, ranked ninth in Class 3A in the latest set of rankings released Tuesday, knocked off eighth-ranked Curtis Harryman of Winterset in the closing meters of the race for the victory.

The Creston boys finished seventh out of 13 teams in the meet, while the Panther girls finished fifth out of 12 teams in a strong field.

After battling back and forth with Harryman for the majority of the race, and making up several deficits, McDermott surged ahead of the Winterset senior in the final 400 meters of the race and McDermott

didn’t surrender the lead.

“This is Cooper’s best race of the season and maybe one of his better races I’ve seen him run,” Creston head coach Pat Schlapia said. “He ran very aggressively with Harryman. He was determined he wasn’t going to lose contact with him. There were a couple of times Cooper tried to make a move on him, but Harryman would speed up.

He kept coming back and coming back.”

McDermott broke the 17-minute mark for the first time this season, crossing the finish line in 16:52.30, just ahead of Harryman’s 16:54.92.

Junior Ben Irr also ran his best race of the season, finishing 10th in 17:19.18.

Irr cut more than 2 minutes off his time from Monday’s meet at Orient-Macksburg and closed the time gap on McDermott in a big way.

“Ben Irr was fantastic,” Schlapia said. “On Monday, Ben was 1:55 behind Cooper. He was within 27 Please see PANTHERS, page 3S

Unforgettable weekend from the place we call home

By LARRY PETERSON

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@ crestonnews.com

It was a heck of a week for the Peterson family. One we’ll never forget.

Deb got an advancement at work that she’d been hoping for with the great team at Southwestern Community College. She embraces new challenges and responsibilities.

I got to join some of the greats of Creston history on the CHS Hall of Fame wall. For 10 years I’ve been working on the nominations of other people and writing feature articles on their tremendous careers. So, it was a very surreal moment at last Friday’s induction ceremony to actually be one of those so honored.

The person I was thinking of when I entered the school that day was the late Max Sandeman, the dean of Creston News Advertiser sports journalism for more than 35 years before I moved here. I always considered myself just the caretaker of his respected position.

Very often over the years I’d ask myself, “What would Max do?”

I covered a lot of memories in my address at the ceremony last

Friday. But, there’s a fairly recent moment that will stay with me forever.

When I think of highlights in my career, nothing comes close to the night last winter when I saw a healthy Tayler Pettit come strolling into Atlantic High School to watch the Panther basketball team play a district tournament game.

Five days earlier I had watched him die. For a few seconds, anyway. The Creston/O-M wrestler had collapsed at the state dual tournament from a rare, undetected heart condition. Rescuers used a defibrillator and cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him while rushing him to nearby Mercy Hospital.

When you’re standing 3 feet from a young person going through seizures and not breathing, it’s a frightening scene. I’m supposed to keep doing my job, but I’m partially frozen in fear, just like his anxious coaches and teammates.

Afterward I just walked to my

car in the parking ramp and sat alone for awhile, in complete silence, trying to digest what I’d just witnessed. I tried to eliminate the “worst case scenario” from my mind since I didn’t have any updates yet. I didn’t even want to think about writing that story lead.

When good news started to filter in over the next two days, and Tayler received visitors, it became easier to work as the Panthers made an incredible run as a top Class 2A contender at the tournament. Tayler wasn’t on the mat with them, but he was pushing them in spirit.

Seeing Tayler with his friends at the basketball game the following Monday was easily the most heartwarming moment in this journalist’s 35- Pettit year career.

baseball teammate, and his father Dick Bergstrom and I coached the team that also included my current supervisor, Kyle Wilson.

Coach Bergstrom, in his Hall of Fame acceptance speech, talked about the tremendous outpouring of support he and wife Sue, and daughter Brittney, received from this community at that difficult time.

••• That’s one thing I should have said at the ceremony — how glad Deb and I are that we were accepted into this community and had the good sense to return to it after briefly living away in Mason City.

Creston, and its afternoon paper work schedule, were a better fit for my young family at the time and as it worked out, we never saw any reason to leave even after the kids were grown and on their own.

It’s home.

It was really special to go into the Hall of Fame with coach Bergstrom. He produced many players who went on to coach. They still talk about what they owe to him as they launched their own careers. Among them are Ryan McKim and Chad Briley of the current Panther football staff. Others are Dane Wardenburg at Iowa Western, Jared McKim Jensen at Sigourney and Dennis Shaw now at Winterset after a couple of stints as a head coach at Murray and O’Neill, Neb. I’ve heard both McKim and

Wardenburg, as they got into collegiate coaching, speak on how coach Bergstrom’s influence guided their career choice.

Of course, Scott Driskell was head coach at Earlham before joining the Creston administrative staff. I know G.G. Harris is coaching at AHSTW near Harlan, but now more primarily as the head basketball coach. I’m sure I’m probably missing some others.

I also respect this community for all of the dedicated volunteers who work with our youths. Too many to name all, but I’ve worked directly with the likes of Brad Baker and Bill Taylor as a basketball coach. John Shiltz worked so hard to get the padded football league off the ground and do things the right way.

Polly Luther has worked with so many different levels of volleyball, her passion, as has Jan Lesan since I moved here. The track coaches are great, and Mark Evans always seems to be around to help in some way. Youth soccer is taking off, thanks to improved coaching. (Bob Irr is the Godfather of that group.)

Teri Keeler not only coaches high school softball, but I’ve seen her work tirelessly with the youths, as well. It’s not easy doing both at the same time. It seems like guys like Mike Linch and Cory Latham have been coaching kids teams forever. Driskell has jumped into a leadership role in the summer, as well.

Mark Loudon got the youth wrestling club going, and guys like Dannie Stephens, Dennis Leith and Jeff Sand keep it going, among others. Making kids better is the mission of these unsung heroes.

••• I’ve also had a great team at the News Advertiser over the years. I was always proud of what we produced here for a newspaper our size, every weekday. Not every Hawkeye 10 Conference town has that.

I’ve had way too many great colleagues to list here.

But I have to single out Dorine Peterson (27 years) and Lori Fletcher (26 years) as battling through many of the same challenges together over a long time.

Stew Stewart hired me and other publishers have been Arvid Huisman and Rich Paulsen. Many great editors, too. I’m proud to see a former CNA sports intern in the seat now. Kyle takes it seriously and works harder than anyone.

I followed Sandeman, John Videtich and Ross Fuglsang as sports editor here. For several years, while I had young kids, I worked more in news than in sports to keep more evenings free. So here’s a quick mention of the fine folks who worked sports — Joe Loudon, Lance Bergeson, Chris Short, Matt Coss, Adam Wilson, Mike Falco, Ben Frotscher, Kyle Wilson, Matt Pfiffner and Scott Vicker, who I get to work with on a nightly basis now.

Mark Evans told me to tell Scott, “We’ll see if Vicker can go another 26 years or so to reach the status of you and Max.” Well, Scott’s dad, Randy, recently completed 41 years with BNSF Railway. So, some longevity is in the bloodlines!

Diagonal served just 1523 as a team.

The Maroonettes were within 4-2 of Murray early in the first set when Stormie Buchanan smacked a crosscourt kill, but after Murray won the serve back, Lecy served eight straight points to help the Mustangs pull away.

Murray grabbed an early 6-0 lead in the second set with Kayla Siefkas at the service line and never looked back. Allison Norris and Kasydi Klommhaus each recorded an ace in the set for Diagonal.

Emily Newton’s kill to

start off set three gave Diagonal a 1-0 lead and then the Maroonettes were able to tie the score at 2-2.

But Lecy went on another long service string, as Murray forged ahead 10-2.

The lead eventually grew to 18-3 thanks to a pair of Shelby Myers kills.

Myers led Murray with nine kills, while Gonseth added seven kills with two blocks. Courtney Titus had two kills and one block.

Jade Lecy added two blocks. Brandi Gilbert set 12 assists for the lady Mustangs. Breianna Klein and Gonseth were each 2-2 on serve receive. Gonseth had five digs and Jade Lecy

added four.

Shields said being a part of Thursday’s “Pink Out” was a good experience.

“It’s kind of neat,” he said. “It’s a neat thing for a town like Diagonal to put something like this on. Everybody has a lot of people they’ve lost to cancer and there’s a lot of survivors out there. It’s nice for both instances for something like this to be able to raise money to fight cancer.”

“She’s 6-for-6 on medaling this year,” Schlapia said.

“There was some pretty heady competition there.

Abby Kohut-Jackson of Ballard, she’s ranked No. 1, led a pack of Ballard girls along with the DC-G girls.

Jessica was right in the middle of those girls and the Winterset girls.”

The rest of Creston’s varsity pack was able to cut the time gap on Beatty and formed a solid pack, helping the Panthers to a fifth-place finish behind ranked teams Dallas Center-Grimes and Ballard, along with a strong Winterset team and ADM. Lexie Little led the rest of that pack in 31st, running 23:03.38, followed by Madison Hance in 35th, Sophia

Groumoutis in 36th and Rachel Shepherd in 38th to round out the team scoring.

With Kiersten Latham running 39th and Amber Castillo finishing 40th, all seven Panther varsity runners finished in the top half of the 83-person field.

“At Orient, Jessica was 2 minutes ahead of our No. 2 runner,” Schlapia said. “Tonight, they were within 1:30.

With our two through seven girls, there’s been a lot of movement. From Lexie on to Amber, there’s a difference of 36 seconds.”

Creston’s JV runners also had strong showings, as many ran season’s bests.

Ben Bargstadt had a dramatic improvement, running more than 6 minutes

Isaac Wignall gave the Panthers a third runner in the top half, finishing 42nd out of 86 runners in 19:04.

Rounding out the team scoring were Dylan Linch in 64th and Matthew Rouh in 81st.

On the girls side, senior Jessica Beatty continued to lead the Panthers and continued her streak of medal-winning performances.
