Walleye release: Green Valley State Park Ranger Alan Carr, right, tosses a walleye fingerling into Green Valley Lake

Wednesday afternoon after clipping one of its fins on the boat ramp near the beach. Carr and several other volunteers clipped the fins of 3,000 walleye fingerlings and then released them into the lake as part of a pilot program. The fins were clipped so when the fish are caught later, the Department of Natural Resources can identify the fish to see how much they have grown.

Birds gone wild: Resurgent turkeys spar with human neighbors BOSTON (AP) — Not everyone is celebrating the return of the wild turkeys.

After being wiped out from New England in the 1800s, the birds have stormed back in what’s considered a major success story for wildlife restoration.

But as they spread farther into urban areas, they’re increasingly clashing with residents who say they destroy gardens, damage cars, chase pets and attack people.

Complaints about troublesome turkeys have surged in Boston and its suburbs over the past three years, causing headaches for police and health officials called to handle prob-

lems, according to city and town records provided to The Associated Press. It’s a familiar dilemma for some other U.S. towns from coast to coast that have been overrun by turkeys in recent years.

Boston city officials say they received at least 60 complaints last year, a threefold increase over the year before. Nearby Somerville, Belmont and Brookline have seen similar upticks, combining for a total of 137 turkey gripes since the start of last year.

“Several years ago it was more of an isolated situation here and there,” said David Scarpitti, the wild

“SEVERAL years ago it was more of an isolated situation here and there.

Now it’s starting to spread into communities all around.”

it’s starting to spread into communities all around Boston.”

Often the grievance is little more than a wayward turkey blocking traffic, but in at least five cases turkeys became so aggressive that police said they had to shoot them as a matter of public safety. Some area residents have suffered minor injuries from the birds, including a 72-year-old woman who told police she was bruised in August after a gang of turkeys scratched and pecked her during a walk.

• HOW LONG HAVE YOU

BEEN A FIREFIGHTER? This is my 29th year.

Since Hurricane Maria, a Category 5 storm, struck Puerto Rico Sept. 20, a humanitarian crisis has unfolded leaving almost the entire island of about 3.4 million without power, and many without easily attainable food, water and shelter.

According to Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Dean of Student Services Beth Kulow, as of early this week only two of SWCC’s 13 students hailing from Puerto Rico have been able to get Kulow into contact with their families since the storm hit.

For SWCC sophomore baseball player Nathan Torres, only his godmother lives stateside. The rest of his family is in Puerto Rico.

“I speak with my family about once a day,” said Torres. “And sometimes I’ve gone maybe two or three days without knowing about them.

Because where I live, the (cellphone) service is really bad right now.”

Torres is from Hatillo, a city of about 42,000 that sits on the

And unlike many others, Torres has been able to get into contact with his family on the island.

“My family is all right,” said Torres. “They have power back, but not water. But my grandma does have water Torres and power. They’re lucky, because only about 8 percent of the island has power right now.”

Hurricane Maria is on record as the worst natural disaster ever for nearby island-nation Dominica.

The storm initially formed just east of the Lesser Antilles, before quickly intensifying and wrecking havoc through Dominica first, then Puerto Rico and finally dissipating just north of the Bahamas.

The official fatality count is 45, with 69 reported missing.

Countless are injured, and disaster experts expect the death count to climb higher as hospitals run out of medicine, refrigeration and other basic necessities.

INSIDE MARIA:

DEATHS Alberta Calvin Lenox

Alberta Maxine Calvin (Miller) was born June 14, 1921, on a farm just north of the east Lenox lake, a n d passed a w a y Oct. 10, 2017.

Calvin H e r mother, Katherine “Kate,” and father, Frank, preceded her in death, as well as her husband, James, and 12 brothers and sisters, Edna, Margaret “Maggie,” Raymond “Mike,” Clyde, Harry, Frank, Homer, Alfred, Lyle “Pete,” Hazel, Lela and Wilma.

Alberta graduated from Lenox High School in 1939, and was married to James “Speck” Calvin in 1944. Shortly after they were married, she traveled with Speck during WWII while he served in the Army at various locations across the country. Their son, Doug, was born in 1946. Except for the war years, she lived her entire life of 96 years in Lenox.

Always active, Alberta was a member of Lenox Methodist Church and American Legion Auxiliary. One of her favorite activities was playing cards with her friends. Over the years, she was a member of several card-playing clubs. She also enjoyed her backyard garden and flowers, and visiting with friends over coffee at the Tiger Den. Alberta was an avid sports fan, rarely missing a Hawkeye or Cubs game on television, plus supporting the local Lenox teams. Together with her sister, Lela, they watched many Lenox High School

baseball games from Lela’s back porch.

One of Alberta’s many interests was keeping track of people. She maintained a “family record book,” with names, addresses and birthdays for hundreds of family members. She was regularly asked to consult her record book to check on family connections.

Having lived in Lenox for her entire life, she had an amazing ability to connect people with where they lived, who they married and the names of their children.

Following Speck’s retirement as Lenox Postmaster, they spent many years during the winter months in south Texas.

Their favorite activities while in Texas were playing golf and cards, traveling to Mexico, attending dances and just being with their friends. During the summer, they also enjoyed attending the Iowa State Fair. They worked at the fair’s administration building where they greeted people and helped the fair’s board members.

Over their many years at the fair, they created a strong family tradition.

Following in the footsteps of Alberta and Speck, the entire family continues to attend the fair and use the family campsite.

Alberta is survived by her son Doug and his wife Lynn; three grandchildren, Todd, Kristine and Mitchell; and five great-grandchildren, Ryan, Bradley, Ashley, Richard and Deven. All will miss her greatly.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Alberta’s life. The date and time will be announced in the near future.

We will forever hold the precious memories of Alberta in our hearts.

May she be at peace in God’s loving care.

Social Security benefits to rise by 2 percent in 2018 WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of Social Security recipients and other retirees will get a 2 percent increase in benefits next year. It’s the largest increase since 2012 but comes to only $25 a month for the average beneficiary.

The Social Security Administration announced the cost--of-living increase Friday.

The COLA affects benefits for more than 70 million U.S. residents, including Social Security recipients, disabled veterans and federal retirees. That’s about one in five Americans.

By law, the COLA is based on a broad measure

of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Advocates for seniors claim the inflation index doesn’t accurately capture rising prices faced by seniors, especially for health care.

“It’s squeezing them. It’s causing them to dip into savings more quickly,” said Mary Johnson of The Senior Citizens League. “The lifetime income that they were counting on just isn’t there.”

Some conservatives argue that the inflation index is too generous because when prices go up, people change their buying habits and buy cheaper alternatives.

right away. It was like four or five days without knowing about them. So I was almost going back to Puerto Rico.

“But then,” continued Torres, “my mom called, and said everything is OK. So I stayed here.”

Torres expressed many thanks for the Creston community and for the sympathy he’s received.

“They always ask,” said Torres, “whether at WalMart or campus, wherever we go — they say, ‘Hey, is your family good?’ And I appreciate that.”

Classmate and teammate of Torres, freshman Eduardo Ortiz, has only been at SWCC for two months.

And like Torres, he has been fortunate enough to be able to speak with his

far stronger and faster than the ones that land on Thanksgiving tables, experts say. Males in particular are driven to show physical aggression as a way to climb the social pecking order, and they sometimes view humans as potential competitors.

“Turkeys don’t really mean to harm people — it’s just tied to their social dynamics within the flock,” Scarpitti said. “They lose perspective that humans are humans and turkeys are turkeys. They just want to assert dominance over any-

And I appreciate that.”

family.

“I’ve been able to speak to my family every now and then,” said Ortiz, “but they’re having some struggles with (cell-phone) service. But I’ve been able to talk to them about every week.”

Like Torres, Ortiz’s entire family lives in Puerto Rico. His parents, his siblings, his grandmother, his cousins and his uncles all

live on the island. Ortiz is from Trujillo Alto, located just southeast of San Juan.

“It’s tough,” said Ortiz.

“But they’ve been working it out pretty good. The government and everybody has been working together as a country.

“So they’ve been supporting each other,” Ortiz said, “and we’ve been getting support here as well. Our teammates, our coaches — everybody on campus is asking us how our family is doing.”

Ortiz intends to return to Puerto Rico and visit his family in December.

“I would like to go there, and help with what I can,” said Ortiz. “Just be of some help to my family. With any necessity they have, or neighbors, or friends — I would like to go.

“I see it in the news, and Twitter, and everything — you see pictures from peo-

ple all over the world that know what is happening,” said Ortiz. “But people are pretty calm, and the situation has been getting better.

“And I’m thankful,” continued Ortiz, “for everybody asking me and worrying about my family and everything that’s happened. I’ve had friends here that I’ve only known for two months that are worrying for me. So I’m thankful.”

In an effort to raise relief funds for those affected by Hurricane Maria, SWCC student Joe Pasterino has organized a fundraising raffle Friday, Oct. 20.

From 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the SWCC Student Center, an open-bid style raffle will be conducted with prizes available from local businesses. Funds generated will go toward hurricane relief.

thing.”

Even the earliest Americans picked up on that characteristic, with Ben Franklin famously writing that the turkey is a “Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.”

In the town of Brookline, Tess Bundy has come to loathe the turkeys that roost behind her home and often come charging when she leaves. She called police in April after a big tom repeatedly launched itself at her and her infant daughter, backing down only after Bundy whacked it several times with a shovel.

“They’re terrible. Every

year they’re worse,” said Bundy, a history professor at Merrimack College. “I really do think that they’re a menace to the town.”

The complaints have sent some cities searching for answers, including in Cambridge, where the City Council says it’s working on a plan. Officials in Brookline issued new guidance for fowl encounters in August, telling residents to “step toward the turkey and act confidently.”

Wildlife experts say much of the problem can be blamed on residents who leave out food for turkeys, which entices flocks to settle in and helps them survive winters.

Towns with similar prob-

lems in New Jersey, Iowa and Oregon have banned turkey feeding in recent years, and Montana enacted a similar statewide ban in May. But the idea hasn’t spread to the Boston area, where some residents say they enjoy the return of native wildlife.

Not far from two sites where turkeys were shot by police, Brookline resident Suzette Abbott says she’s had no problems with the turkeys that roam her block.

“I don’t think they’re dangerous,” Abbott said. “In the spring they look pretty amazing when the males are displaying their colors. I think they’re quite beautiful if you actually look at their feathers.”

Trump to issue stop-payment order on health care subsidies WASHINGTON (AP) — In a brash move likely to roil insurance markets, President Donald Trump will “immediately” halt payments to insurers under the Obama-era health care law he has been trying to unravel for months.

Before sunrise Friday morning, Trump went on Twitter to urge Democrats to make a deal: “The Democrats ObamaCare is imploding,” he wrote. “Massive subsidy payments to their pet insurance companies has stopped. Dems should call me to fix!”

The Department of Health and Human Services had made the announcement in a statement late Thursday.

“We will discontinue these payments immediately,” said acting HHS Secretary Eric Hargan and Medicare administrator Seema Verma.

Sign-up season for subsidized private insurance starts Nov. 1, in less than three weeks, with about 9 million people currently covered.

In a separate statement, the White House said the government cannot legal-

dent’s position is reckless.

“We are prepared to sue,” said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

“We’ve taken the Trump Administration to court before and won.”

Word of Trump’s plan came on a day when the president had also signed an executive order directing government agencies to design insurance plans that would offer lower premiums outside the requirements of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Frustrated over setbacks in Congress, Trump is wielding his executive powers to bring the “repeal and replace” debate to a head. He appears to be following through on his vow to punish Democrats and insurers after the failure of GOP health care legislation.

Union girls nab second consecutive POI title

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports editor kacarter@crestonnews.com

MOUNT AYR — Every runner on a team counts.

How better to embody that sentiment than winning a team cross country title by a single point?

The East Union girls cross country team nabbed its second consecutive Pride of Iowa Conference title with a team score of 65, narrowly edging Nodaway Valley (66)

and Mount Ayr (71).

“Holy cow. One point, six points through the top three,” East Union coach Rich Bryson said. “Mount Ayr and Nodaway Valley had been running great last top few weeks.”

The meet was postponed from its original date and location (Greenfield Tuesday) due to weather and was moved to Mount Ayr’s Golf Country Club, where the Eagles won their title a year ago. The Pride of Iowa’s meet was run in conjunction with the Ron Landphair Invitational, as non-POI schools ran as well. The Eagles won the Landphair portion of the meet as well, de-

feating NV and Mount Ayr by several points.

Gabrielle Valencia led the way for the Eagles with her sixth-place finish in the POI in a time of 22:58.

Valencia has come on fast this year as a freshman, running toward the top of the pack of nearly every race she has been in this season.

“The years prior I ran with my cousin. She was always really far ahead of me and I was always trying to stay up with her,” Valencia said. “Last year I was able to push forward a bit. Emma Harper really helped with it.

Now I’m just pushing a bit GIRLS | 5A

MOUNT AYR — Nodaway Valley’s run of dominance in the Pride of Iowa remains unrivaled, as the Wolverines boys team ran away with their ninth consecutive conference championship and 18th since 1997.

Nodaway Valley registered 18 team points, well in front of second-place

“Brycen Wallace and Skyler Rawings, our two seniors and returning allstate runners, have had some great practices and keep on pushing the pace,” Nodaway Valley coach Darrell Burmeister said.

After Wallace took home his first POI title in a time of 16:55, Rawlings came in closely beind in second among the POI runners competiting in the race. Tyler Breheny grabbed third, Joshua Baudler was fourth, Ben Breheny took eighth.

Cubs get to Scherzer, then hold on to top Nats 9-8 in Game 5

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

CLARINDA — Two Creston runners got off the bus Thursday with intentions of winning.

And a third Panther went along for the ride.

In the end, Brielle Baker, Braelyn Baker and Clayton Stafford all finished in the top four as all-conference runners at Thursday’s Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet held on the grounds surrounding Clarinda High School.

Creston junior Brielle Baker, who was fifth in last year’s conference meet, decided to challenge defending champion Raegan Andersen of Denison-Schleswig from the start.

Her freshman sister Braelyn, third in last year’s middle school conference meet, stayed near her the entire way and placed fourth, one Bri Baker position behind Brielle.

Brielle Baker was a little spent from her earliy-race challenge of Andersen, and Atlantic freshman Taylor McCreedy, who has been going back and forth with the Baker sisters all season, slid into second place behind Andersen in 20:42.91. Andersen’s winning time on the hilly Clarinda course was 20:23.18.

Brielle Baker’s third-place time was 20:52.97, and Braelyn Baker was the next runner across the finish line in 20:56.12.

In challenging for the victory, Brielle Baker ended up ahead of three returning runners who finished ahead of her in last year’s conference race.

“I was just trying to go for it,” Brielle Baker said. “I was battling with Raegan the whole race. I passed Taylor

was also pleased with how ninth-place Joel Blazek and 11th-place Austin Lundy have closed the gap in recent weeks. A major point of emphasis with state cross country nearing.

Mount Ayr came up just short of second place, but did benefit from the familiar surroundings after the meet was postponed Tuesday from Greenfield and moved to Mount Ayr on Thursday due to weather.

Four Raiders medaled with top 20 finishes.

Chase Smith led the Mount Ayr boys in seventh,

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Chicago Cubs win whenever they need to, with whatever it takes, even a seven-out save by Wade Davis to preserve a shrinking lead and a “Did that really happen?” four-run inning against Washington’s Max Scherzer in a thriller of a Game 5.

That wild, bat-around fifth inning Thursday night for Chicago included Addison Russell’s go-ahead, two-run double, a bases-loaded hit by pitch, and a disputed dropped third strike followed by a throwing error, helping the defending World Series champion Cubs come back — and then hold on — to edge the Nationals 9-8.

And for the third year in a row, Chicago reached the NL Championship Series.

“Give the boys credit,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “That’s one of the most incredible victories I’ve ever been part of. I know a lot of people are probably saying the same thing, but under the circumstances, in the other team’s ballpark, after a tough loss at home, to come back and do that, give our guys all the credit in the world.”

Russell drove in four runs and Davis, Chicago’s seventh pitcher, turned in his longest appearance since 2012.

Creston freshman Clayton Stafford, left, challenges the lead pack of runners at the Hawkeye 10 meet about 250 meters from the finish line. Stafford placed fourth in 18:03.62. Mason Parks of Glenwood, right, won the meet in 17:59.72. Atlantic’s Jalen Petersen, center, was third in 18:03.12. Only four seconds separated the top four finishers.

around the one-mile mark. I was ahead of her until that final hill. She got me at the end of it. Maybe I spent a little too much in going for it.”

Braelyn Baker, meanwhile, stayed in contact with her sister and McCreedy, ending up just four seconds behind Brielle.

“I try to stay with her the whole race,” Braelyn said. “I try to stay with her, and try to beat her.”

Brielle is having none of that, although she Brae Baker likes it that her sister scores so well for the team by running on her

shoulder.

“I looked to see if she was close to me, but I’m never going to let her beat me,” Brielle said.

Coach Pat Schlapia was pleased to see their competitive nature displayed in the tough Hawkeye 10 field, which returned the top 16 runners from last year’s meet.

“They have been a real good tag team for us this year and their intensity showed today,” Schlapia said. “Brielle tried it today, running with Raegan early like that. You don’t know if you don’t try.

Braelyn ran a great race as well for her first conference meet as a varsity runner.”

At next week’s State Qualifying Meet in Atlantic, which includes the top finishers

Thursday along with ranked runners from Carlisle, Ballard and ADM, the Bakers know it will take a smart race to qualify for state among the top 15.

“Maybe I won’t go with the leader quite as much and save something for the end,” Brielle said.

As a team the Creston girls moved up from last year’s seventh-place to take fifth with 130 points, despite having usual No. 3 runner Paige Davis slowed by an ankle injury that left her sixth on the team Thursday in 50th place at 24:54.

Morgan Buxton wasn’t far off a top-20 medalist position, finishing 36th in 23:19.

Lady Mustangs fall in BGC semis ORIENT — Murray’s volleyball team advanced out of pool play in the Bluegrass Conference tournament Tuesday, but had its run come to an abrupt halt in a three-set sweep loss to Seymour in the semifinals Thursday.

Murray fell 25-17, 2511, 25-21.

The Lady Mustangs (12-13), were led by Zoie Lecy’s eight kills. Bre Klein added four. Klein also added 11 digs.

Twila Barber, 12-12, Lecy, 10-10, and Klein, 9-10, combined to serve successfully on 31 of 32 serves.

Britta Callstrom had four aces and Twila Barber added five.

“We had trouble blocking at the net and

digging the ball off of the floor this evening,” Murray coach Jerry Shields said. “Our serving was only 90 percent with no aces. We are finally starting to hit the ball more often instead of pushing the ball over the net.

Now we just need to convert into points.”

Orient-Macksburg fell in consecutive matches in pool play Magainst Seymour and Diagonal on Tuesday 0-2, 0-2.

Diagonal fell to Seymour Monday 25-11, 2512 and defeated O-M 2518-, 25-19.

Murray starts postseason play Tuesday in Afton at 7 p.m. The winner of that game will play in Afton against the winner of Diagonal and Lamoni on Monday, Oct 23.

Overcoming injuries made the last several weeks before the conference tournament an anxiety-inducing time, but the Eagles got healthy when they needed to. “We spent a lot of time trying to get healthy,� senior Sidney McFee said. “Prior to the race that was our McFee mindset.

Just positive thinking over and over, you’re not in pain right?�

McFee touted the team’s consistency, while both she and Valencia noted their determination in plug-

ging away to their second straight POI title.

McFee took 28th, behind teammates Molly McNeill (16th), Kate Sutton (20th) and Mattie Riemenschneider (21st). Ansley Waigand (39th) and Maddie Hayes (44th) were every bit as crucial, given the one-point victory. “After last year when I had the good seniors that I lost, it was the 4-5-6-7 girls that made the difference,�

Bryson said. “This is a lesson again tonight of how important that is,� he added.

Nodaway Valley came up just short, but again had standout performances from its top three runners in Reagan Weinheimer in third, Sophia Broers in fifth and Mallory Kuhns in 11th. “Reagan Weinheimer, last year’s POI individual champion as a freshmen and fifth place all-state runner last year continues to

The Glenwood girls won on a tiebreaker with Denison-Schleswig, based on the sixth runner finishing 29 points ahead of the Monarchs’ sixth runner.

Creston middle school results will be published at a later date. Schlapia noted that coach Maggie Arnold will have Creston runners entered in the middle school state meet this weekend in Ankeny.

CRESTON: CONT. FROM | 4A

Allivea Skarda (43rd) and Brittany Linch (48th) rounded out the scoring. Davis and senior Danielle Castillo, 52nd in 24:59, rounded out the varsity lineup.

Top JV runners Ali Christensen and Sydney Hartsock finished in the top 20 and moved into varsity positions for next week based on their times of 24:10 and 24:38, respectively.

“That shows the depth we have on the girls team this year,” Schlapia said. “Even with Paige hurting today, we look at the team race and with Harlan at 94 and Atlantic at 88, we feel like we have 42 points out there we could get to push for that top three.”

However, ADM, Ballard, Carisle and Winterset also bring strong squads to the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet next Thursday, so Schlapia knows state berths will be at a premium. The top three teams and top 15 individuals advance to state competition in Fort Dodge.

“We know it will be tough up there, but as a varsity unit we didn’t really run our best today and we still placed fifth in a very tough field, beating LC and Shenandoah,” Schlapia said. “You have to say that’s good.”

Boys race Creston’s Stafford made his presence known in a big way in his conference meet debut as a freshman, running in the middle of a tight lead pack the entire final mile and challenging for the win before taking fourth in 18:03.

With no ranked individuals in this year’s Hawkeye 10 boys field, Stafford — last year’s conference middle school champion — decided to make a run for the gold. He note that 15th-ranked freshman Nate Mueller of ADM was not a part of this race, although he will be in the State Qualifying race.

“I knew ADM wasn’t here and I did have a goal to win it today,” Stafford said. “I got into first place at the top of the last hill during the last mile, then I kind of slowed down because I didn’t want to kill myself yet. I passed one guy and then two more to get into second near the end.

Then a Glenwood kid kind of pulled my arm going by and the Atlantic kid went past and I ended up fourth.”

Schlapia met with meet officials to inquire about the contact in the finish line chute, but he said there were no witnesses to that action.

“I told Clayton he ran a great race, and that in a big meet like this you have to be prepared for anything,” Schlapia said. “Clayton is running with a lot of confidence to do what he did today. He’s made great strides transitioning from the two mile distance in middle school to the 5K. Last week he was 17th in some pretty heady competition at Atlantic, and today I thought he ran a lot more aggressively. It was nice to see him coming back from the corn field in the back there

right in the pack of five at the front. It went down to the finish line.”

Stafford’s time was only four seconds slower than winner Mason Parks of Glenwood, who ran 17:59.72.

Like the Baker sisters, Stafford appears to be a serious challenger for advancement to state.

“You can’t go in assuming anything,” Schlapia said.

“Rankings don’t mean anything on state qualifying day.

Everybody is going for one of those 15 (individual) positions and to be one of the top three teams. But he’s made a great jump this year and he has a shot, no doubt.”

The next Panther varsity runner, however, was Levi Hitz in 60th place with five Panthers all coming in between 66th and 77th, which was the final place. Schlapia said he expected better.

“I’m not sure we had a lot of guys mentally ready to race today,” Schlapia said.

“They may have gotten ready to run, but were they ready to actually race? We talked afterward that when you wear Creston on the front of

On the bright side, everyone in the Panther boys lineup was a freshman or sophomore and capable of showing that improvement down the road. There are no juniors on the team and the lone senior, Dylan Linch, has been sidelined much of the season by a lingering ankle injury.

JV runner Devin Baker moved into a varsity role by taking 43rd in the JV race in a time of 22:30, which was better than three varsity runners Thursday and only seven seconds behind No. 4 runner Adam McElwain.

New fish: Pictured are several walleye fingerlings inside a net Wednesday afternoon at Green Valley State Park. Several volunteers gathered to clip the fins of 3,000 walleye fingerlings and then release them into Green Valley Lake. The fish were purchased

by High Lakes Outdoor Alliance. The fins were clipped so when the fish are caught later, the Department of Natural Resources can identify the fish to see how much they have grown.

OCTOBER IS

FALL CAR CARE MONTH

Light the way for safer nighttime driving (MS) — Routine vehicle maintenance protects drivers on the road while also protecting the often considerable financial investment they make in their cars and trucks. Maintenance guidelines have changed thanks to technology, but drivers must continue to care for their vehicles to ensure the safety of themselves, their passengers and fellow motorists.

From the time they first get behind the wheel, many drivers recognize the need to periodically change their oil and have their tires rotated. But few drivers may understand the importance of maintaining their vehicles’ headlights, and just how compromised they and their passengers might be when driving with old, dimming or foggy headlamps.

Burned out lights greatly diminish driver visibility and may even draw the attention of law enforcement.

But headlight bulbs don’t just burn out overnight. As bulbs age, their light output gradually reduces due to use and factors such as humidity, electrical resistance and filament fatigue. Drivers concerned about the efficacy of their headlight bulbs can take steps to improve their visibility when driving at night. • Accept your own vul-

nerability. The human eye is not adapted for nocturnal vision. As a result, drivers’ visual acuity may be reduced by as much as 70 percent when driving at night.

Cloudy, dim headlights only exacerbate that problem, further compromising the safety of everyone on the road. Avoid aggressive driving and always obey the speed limits, even when it’s late at night and roads are empty. • Learn to recognize headlamp clouding. According to the automotive lighting innovator Lumileds, sunlight, ozone, road pollution, and even chemicals used in car washes can contribute to headlamp clouding.

Clouded headlamps often appear hazed and yellow and reduce headlight output considerably. Routine headlamp inspection can help drivers discover clouded lamps that can greatly compromise nighttime visibility. • Restore clouded headlamps. Clouded headlamps do not necessarily need to be replaced. The Philips Headlight Restoration Kit can help drivers restore their clouded headlamp lenses. The kit employs a protective UV coating that effectively restores yellow, hazy lenses that have been compromised by years of

exposure to the elements. • Replace headlamps that are past their prime. While not all clouded headlamps need to be replaced, some aging or outdated bulbs are best replaced with new models designed to produce substantially more light output. Drivers whose vehicles are equipped with standard halogen headlights may be surprised to learn that such lights typically begin to break down within two to three years of installation, during which time light output might be reduced by as much as 30 percent. Compared to standard halogen bulbs, Philips X-tremeVision Bulbs can put substantially more light on the road while producing

longer beam patterns that make it easier for drivers to see more of what’s ahead of them at night.

Drivers’ visibility is dra-

matically reduced once the sun goes down, but maintaining headlamps can help drivers combat that loss of vision. More information

about headlamp maintenance and the alternatives to traditional halogen headlights is available at www. philips.com/automotive.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Heloise: Many people today are traveling for business, vacations and to visit family and friends. But what do you do when you need a DOCTOR IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY? – Laura S., Auburn, Wash.

Laura, your first call should be to the U.S. embassy (http://www.usembassy. gov), and I recommend having the phone number and address of the embassy with you for each country you plan to visit. The embassy can help you find a doctor or hospital, and even can contact family or friends on your behalf. Make sure the doctor you see can understand your language, and make a list of all medications you take.

Have this information in your wallet for easy access.

It’s always best to be proactive with your health.

Make sure you’re up to date with all vaccinations, have all of your medications with you, and carry a card with your blood type, any chronic illness you might suffer from and any allergies you have.

Wear a medical-alert bracelet, especially if you have a serious medical condition. If you are traveling to a dangerous place, it’s wise to register with the American embassy in that country. – Heloise

SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com TRAVELING WITH FOOD Dear Heloise: I have empty, hard-plastic gum containers, about 5 or 6 inches tall, but I didn’t know what to do with them. Since they have attached lids that snap shut, I thought it was a shame to toss them out, so now I use them to pack trail mix or some type of dried fruit for my kid’s lunch. I’ve used them for “munchies” on a plane. These containers fit in a lunchbox or purse, and they can be washed and reused. – Claire M., Hanover Park, Ill. STAINED SILK BLOUSE Dear Heloise: HELP! I have a beautiful white silk blouse that has perspiration stains. Can I use chlorine bleach to get the stains out?

– Lola W., Melrose, Mass.

Lola, no, don’t use chlorine bleach on silk, as it ruins the fabric over time. First, pre-treat the stained area or soak with a product containing enzymes. Next, hand-

wash with a mild soap and an oxygen bleach, if directions on the box say it’s safe for silk.

Removing stains from clothing can be tricky, and if done incorrectly the garment can be ruined. If you’d like information on how to remove stains from your clothing, you can send for my pamphlet Handy Stain Guide for Clothing, which tells you how to get stubborn stains out. To get a copy, send $5 to: Heloise/Stains, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at www.

Heloise.com. You’ll find easy-to-use ideas to remove stains and save money at the same time. Why throw out clothing that can be as good as new with just a little care?

– Heloise PICKLE JUICE PREDICAMENT Dear Heloise: I have a window garden and a compost bin. Is it OK to use pickle juice to irrigate my plants, or should I pour it onto the compost pile? – Cliff S., via email Cliff, pour it on the compost pile. Pickle juice easily could burn the roots of delicate plants. – Heloise (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.
