Ernie, a labrador, receives a light therapy treatment by Wayne Haidsiak Thursday. Haidsiak’s new laser light therapy machine helps decrease pain in animals with arthritis, but also increases the healing process in animals that have had surgery or other ailments.

Laser light therapy increases healing for animals at Lenox vet clinic

LENOX — Light makes everything just a little bit brighter.

At least, that’s how veterinarian Wayne Haidsiak views laser light therapy, new to TriCounty Veterinary Services in Lenox.

“At first, when I was looking at this, I thought, ‘How can that help?’” Haidsiak said.

“I’ve used it on five or six dogs already with bad hips, bad legs. Almost every one of them have reported a change in the dog in the first 24 hours.”

Haidsiak chose several dogs to do trial runs on. He has been able to see how each dog reacts to the treatments, and Haidsiak can adjust treatments to fit a certain dog better based on the severity and depth of pain.

“It’s been absolutely amazing,” said Haidsiak. “Does it take care of everything? Absolutely not. It’s not going to cure it. But most all of them have noticed an improvement.”

Common ailments light therapy treats are arthritis, abdominal issues, abscesses, urinary tract infections, dental diseases, lick granulomas, hot spots and post-surgery pain.

“All my surgery cases get treated post-sur-

gery. What is does, it helps relieve some of the pain of the surgery, but it also stimulates the area to heal a little better,” Haidsiak said.

What is it?

Light therapy is a medical treatment that uses light photons to increase blood flow by expanding the blood vessels, which in turn speeds the healing process.

“This is not going to replace everything, by any means. But, it will help where some of the pain medicine isn’t working. And, maybe, instead of using a lot of it, I can get away with using a little pain medicine.”

Light waves travel into the targeted area, with depth and strength determined by certain electrical calculations made based on the animal and its appearance.

The light waves then expand blood vessels, allowing blood to flow better through targeted body parts, and in turn decreasing pain or increasing the speed of healing by attempting to increase cell growth.

Light therapy Haidsiak was at a continuing education meeting when he first realized he wanted to use light therapy.

“He (a Des Moines veterinarian) was talking about a fracture,” Haidsiak said. “It was there, but the bone wasn’t healing, and this

had been several weeks. So they initiated a laser (light) therapy on it. And, within two or three weeks they could see a tremendous improvement. So, it just triggers me up, and I’m excited for the potential use of it.”

Haidsiak has used the two-week-old light therapy machine on his furry patients, and already he’s seen improvements.

The $30,000 machine has a handheld with an attachment on the end that a laser shoots out of as a pointer. Haidsiak uses the laser to gauge where the light is going on the animal’s body. The strength of the light waves going into the body is dependent on the area to be treated.

Haidsiak said he’s been treating a dog with a urinary tract infection.

“When the dog came in, his bladder was so inflamed. He was peeing all the time, peeing blood,” said Haidsiak. “I took the laser (light) and went around his abdomen. ... I checked this dog Wednesday, and the dog has stopped most of the extra urinating, the blood’s went away and when I checked it, the bladder was actually relaxed enough I could feel how many stones were in it.”

QUICK NEWS SWCC enrollment fifth highest in school history

The official head count of students at Southwestern Community College this year is 1,573 — the fifth highest in SWCC history said Dean of Students Beth Kulow. It is a 17.1 percent increase in student population from 10 years ago, but slightly lower than last year’s fall enrollment, 1,666.

“Our head count for out of state students has increased and we believe that is from the addition of more Kulow extra curricular activities (sports shooting, bowling and track),” Kulow said.

Kulow added the average age of the current student body is 21.7, down from previous years, showing an increase in traditional students attending Southwestern.

SWCC recently approved a development plan to add a new dormitory to the Creston campus. It will be able to house 88 students.

Pain medicine Haidsiak said there’s a push across the globe for the increased use of pain medicine for animals. However, he is against using too much.

“I’m a person who tends to think pain medicine is (used) too much. We use too much pain medicine in people. And so, it’s hard for me to get really excited about going over the deep end in animals. But, my thinking is if there’s this big group of people saying we really do need to do pain therapy, this is something that’s pretty non-intrusive.

Doesn’t hurt. And, if it really does stimulate healing, it’s a win-win,” said Haidsiak.

One example of how the light therapy works with dogs on pain medicine was with a furry patient of Haidsiak’s that has improved.

“I have one of the dogs

who was already on pain medicine. And, the dog was still limping even with that.

I treated him last Monday, and they called me on Tuesday and said, ‘The dog’s better,’” Haidsiak said. “If the dog continues to improve, we’re going to see if we can decrease the amount of pain medicine.”

Dangers There are several dangers, however, with this technology.

“Don’t look it in the eye,” Haidsiak said.

The laser pointer is strong enough to blind a person or animal.

It is also not recommended to be used on the thyroid gland, reproductive organs, unborn fetuses, cancer and acute trauma cases.

It is uncertain how the technology will affect cell growth in unborn fetuses, and it can be dangerous in acute trauma cases because of increased blood flow.

More legal trouble for Affordable Care Act that urge judges to rule the Obama administration must abide by the strict wording of the law, even if doing so dismantles it in nearly twothirds of the states. And the Obama administration has no hope of repairing the glitch by legislation as long as the Republicans control the House.

This week, U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, a President Clinton appointee, refused the administration’s request to dismiss the suit. Instead, he said the challengers had put forward a substantial claim, and he promised to issue a written ruling.

“This is a problem,” said Timothy Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee University. “This case could have legs,” although “it was never the intent of Congress to establish federal exchanges that can’t do anything.

They were supposed to have exactly the same powers.”

Michael Carvin, the Washington lawyer leading the challenge, says the wording of the law is what counts.

“This is a question of whether you believe in the rule of law. And the language here is as clear as it could possibly be,” he said.

WASHINGTON (MCT) — After months of insisting the House should take up the comprehensive immigration bill that passed the Senate in June, President Barack Obama changed tactics Thursday and said he might consider GOP proposals to overhaul separate parts of the immigration system.

The White House is hoping that public anger at the 16-day government shutdown has so badly damaged the GOP that House Republican leaders will consider immigration reform as a way to improve their popularity with moderate voters.

Obama’s aides also are intent on showing the president is willing to compromise, partly to counter GOP charges that he was inflexible during the bitter shutdown standoff.

In remarks at the White House, Obama hinted that he was no longer tied to the Senate bill, the elaborate product of months of intense bipartisan negotiations, to achieve what he has called a major priority for his second term.

Obama instead signaled that he might consider a package of smaller bills, if necessary, as long as they provide a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people in the country without legal status.

“If House Republicans have new and different additional ideas on how we should move forward, then we want to hear them. I’ll be listening,” Obama told several dozen pro-reform activists from labor, business and religious groups.

White House spokesman Jay Carney echoed the shift, telling reporters there are “a variety of ways that you can reach the ultimate goal” of a bill that Obama could sign into law.

“The House’s approach will be up to the House,” Carney said. “There is a comprehensive bill the House Democrats have put together that is similar to the Senate bill and reflects the president’s principles. But the means by which we arrive at our destination is in some ways of course up to the lawmakers who control the houses of Congress.”

The White House effort to resuscitate a bill that seemed all but dead in the House before the shutdown still faces steep and perhaps insurmountable odds. But the jockeying Thursday raised at least some hope that compromise remains possible.

“I hope President Obama meant what he said today about listening to new and different ideas presented by

House Republicans,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Robert W. Goodlatte, R-Va., said in a statement.

“The president should work with Congress, including House Republicans, to achieve immigration reform, and not against us.”

In recent weeks, GOP leaders have worked behind the scenes to craft legislative proposals that might pass muster with rank-and-file Republicans and — if joined with a legalization program — could appeal to the White House.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor and other House Republicans have met in small groups to write bills that would change parts of the immigration system. GOP proposals include adding high-tech visas, revamping farm and low-skilled immigrant labor programs, and ramping up border security.

“I expect us to move forward this year in trying to address reform and what is broken about our system,” Cantor said on the House floor Wednesday.

Whether the House will go as far as the Senate, and include a 13-year pathway to citizenship for qualified immigrants, is far from clear.

Republicans seemed unwilling to accept the entire Senate bill, which includes $46 billion over 10 years for extra border security and other programs, as well as numerous legal reforms.

On Thursday, House Speaker John A. Boehner’s office said the House would not consider “massive, Obamacare-style legislation that no one understands,” referring to the Senate bill.

“Instead, the House is committed to a common-sense, step-by-step approach that gives Americans confidence that reform is done the right way.”

In his comments Thursday, Obama offered some unsolicited advice to House

ing.”

Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, D-Ill., who asked the president in a meeting at the White House earlier this year to step back from negotiations in Congress for fear his involvement would spook Republicans, thought Obama struck the right tone Thursday.

“He didn’t say, ‘It’s my way or the highway,’ ” said Gutierrez, who is involved in discussions with House Republicans on immigration proposals. Gutierrez wants Obama to step up his involvement in crafting a deal, including bringing together both sides for a faceto-face meeting.

“Camp David is a nice place in the fall,” Gutierrez said.

The bigger problem may be time. The House is only in session for five more weeks before the Christmas break. With other business stacked up due to the government shutdown, that leaves scant floor time to debate and pass a complex package of proposals.

Republicans, who took the brunt of the blame for the bruising budget and debt battles of recent weeks.

“Good policy is good politics in this instance,” Obama said. “If folks are really that consumed with the politics of fixing our broken immigration system, they should take a closer look at the polls, because the American people support this.”

Outside analysts and advocates say Obama needs to gain support from House Republicans who might be tempted to support immigration reform but are wary of supporting a bill he has embraced. Simply urging the House to pass the Senate bill may antagonize them.

“He has zero credibility,” said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., who has worked for months on a House bill that would increase border security and make it possible for some immigrants without legal status to pay a penalty and eventually apply for legal status. “If he wants to be helpful on immigration reform, he has to do what he has been doing for the past five years, which is noth-

WASHINGTON (MCT) — If computer glitches are not enough of a problem, President Barack Obama’s healthcare law also has a legal glitch that critics say could cause it to unravel in more than half the nation.

The Affordable Care Act proposes to make health insurance affordable to millions of low-income Americans by offering them tax credits to help cover the cost. To receive the credit, the law twice says they must buy insurance “through an exchange established by the state.”

But 36 states have decided against opening exchanges for now. Although the law permits the federal government to open exchanges instead, it does not say tax credits may be given to those who buy insurance through a federally run exchange.

Apparently no one noticed this when the long and complicated bill worked its way through the House and Senate. Last year, however, the Internal Revenue Service tried to remedy it by putting out a regulation that redefined “exchange” to include a “federally facilitated exchange.” This is “consistent with the language, purpose and structure … of the act as a whole,” the Treasury Department said.

But critics of the law have seized on the glitch. They have filed four lawsuits

Watering down a bill Dear Readers: Did you know that conserving water now can REDUCE YOUR WATER BILL later? Most water companies do “winter averaging.” To determine the sewer portion of your bill, the water company monitors the water usage in the winter months, usually mid-November to mid-March. This helps you save money, because this is the time of year when water usage usually is the lowest. (No lawn watering, pool filling, etc., depending on where you live.) But you still can conserve more during this time and lower your bill. Here are some hints for how to reduce the amount of water you use: • Check toilets and pipes for any leaks.

• Turn off the faucet while brushing teeth.

• Fill a sink with water to wash dishes instead of letting it run.

• Limit your time in the shower.

• Run only full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine.

Tie the bag (make sure it is sealed securely) and place it in a ventilated area. Leave it overnight. Take the burners out and rinse with hot water.

The grime should come off easily. Ammonia also can be used as a cleaner for things like windows, mirrors and stainless steel. If you would

Horoscope Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Wrap up loose details surrounding shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and anything you own jointly with others. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can do this.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because ex-partners might be back on the scene, be willing to compromise. This might be an opportunity for closure or further explanation about something.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Do whatever you can to get better organized, because Mercury retrograde is causing havoc in your efficiency at work. However, it will help you to finish old projects.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions about children, social events, the arts and sports are a focus now. You can make headway on plans that were already started. It’s time to wrap things up.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a good time to make repairs at home or catch up on things that you’ve been putting off for ages. Some of you might be sifting through stuff you haven’t seen for a while.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Because you’re busy, silly errors, confused communication and misplaced items are frustrating you! Just grin and bear it. (Slow down, and give yourself enough wiggle room to cope with everything.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good time to wrap up financial matters that you’ve been planning for a while.

However, it’s a poor time to begin new ideas, especially opening a business.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Old friends are back in your world again.

You might have a sense of deja vu with quite a few things now, because Mercury is retrograde in your sign.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your ability to research anything, study the past or delve into history is excellent now. Look for solutions to old problems.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a good time to deal with a problem you might have with a friend or members of a group. People are willing to discuss this now. They want to clear up misunderstandings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You look good to others now, especially people in authority. If someone wants you to repeat something you did before or to perform again, you can do it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Travel plans might be delayed now. Ditto for plans related to higher education, publishing, medicine and the law. Instead, focus on wrapping up old business.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a planner and a doer. You also

have excellent money savvy.

You want your world to be organized smoothly around you and will clean up whatever is not working. You work well with groups, especially if they coincide with your own goals and success. You are brave, fearless and intense. This year will be beautifully social, and all your relationships will improve.

Alzheimer’s caregivers: Tips to take care of yourself, too (BPT) — Taking care of an ill loved one is never easy, but for the 15 million Americans who provide care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the emotional and financial toll of caregiving can be overwhelming. Last year, caregivers provided more than 17 billion hours of unpaid care for AD patients, amounting to $216 billion of care, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. They often experience emotional stress, depression, health problems of their own and a loss of wages, the Association reports.

“It’s important for caregivers to take care of themselves as well, and to help those they care for find treatment options that can make it easier for both patient and caretaker to better manage Alzheimer’s symptoms,” says Dr. Richard S. Isaacson*, associate professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention & Treatment Program at Weill Cornell Medical College and a respected AD researcher who has several family members with the disease. “Just as there is no one solution

for managing Alzheimer’s symptoms, caregivers need to employ a suite of tactics in coping with their responsibilities - from stress-relieving habits and regular medical care for themselves, as well education about nutritional therapy and medication for patients.”

Caregivers should keep in mind that helping themselves stay well is also helping the people for whom

they’re caring. If you’re taking care of a loved one with AD, here are some ways you can help both yourself and the person in your care: • Therapy to mitigate AD symptoms - Coping with common symptoms of AD such as disorientation, forgetfulness and emotional imbalances are among the most stressful aspects of caregiving. Helping patients mitigate those symptoms

can improve the quality of life for both the patient and caregiver. Some medications show promise in helping reduce symptoms, and a new medical food, Axona(R) by Accera, Inc. can further help some mild to moderate patients mitigate symptoms, especially when used in tandem with drug therapies.

Axona helps by providing the brain of mild to moderate AD patients with an alternative to glucose - the “food” which fuels brain function. A brain affected by AD doesn’t process glucose into energy as efficiently as a healthy brain, creating a condition known as diminished cerebral glucose metabolism (DCGM)) which most often occurs in the areas of the brain involved in memory and thoughts.

The easy-to-mix, once-daily prescription medical food Axona helps provide brain cells with an alternative energy source, which may help ease the effects of DCGM and enhance memory and cognitive function in AD patients. Doctors and caregivers of AD patients who use Axona report patients appear more alert and en-

gaged in daily activities and interactions with others.

• Seek support - Caregivers provide a tremendous amount of support for both patients and those who love them, but they can use support too. If you are a caregiver, join a support group where you can connect with people whose experiences and emotions parallel your own. You can find a support group through the Alzheimer Association’s website, www.alz.org. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from family and friends, too.

Something as simple as picking up laundry or groceries, or sitting with a patient for an hour while you run errands doesn’t take much time away from someone else’s schedule, but it could give you a much-needed break.

• Keep an organized schedule - Routine can be very comforting for AD patients, and a schedule can help caregivers stay on track and feel less stressed by day-to-day demands.

Online calendars or apps for your mobile device can help you keep a schedule and stay organized. Be sure to schedule in some time to

give yourself a break, along with doctor’s appointments and medication timings.

• Avoid isolation - Withdrawal from society is common among dementia patients and can take a toll on those caring for them.

Caregivers can feel isolated, too. It’s important to connect with others. Seek social interaction that will benefit you and your loved one with AD, whether it’s attending a weekly prayer meeting or a regularly scheduled dinner with family members.

• Keep things in perspective - The Alzheimer’s Association outlines five key things to remember: Don’t take behaviors personally; stay calm and patient; realize pain can be a trigger for behavior; don’t argue; and accept upsetting behaviors as part of the disease. Remember, your loved one can’t control his or her disease, but you can control your reaction to disease-related behaviors.

How to save your own life When “Can a Song Save Your Life?” opened at the Toronto Film Festival, producers were hoping a song could save their film. We’re hoping you’ll give a more positive answer to a slightly different question: Can you save your own life? Emergencies such as choking, poisoning or severe bleeding can happen when you’re on your own. So here’s our quick rundown of how to make sure you come out of the crisis in good shape.

Choking: If you get something stuck in your throat, dial, 911 and leave the phone off the hook. Then make a fist. Place your thumb below your rib cage and above your belly button. Grasp your fist with your other hand. Press the pair into the area with a hard, fast upward motion. OR lean over a table edge, chair or railing.

Quickly thrust your upper belly area (right below your ribcage) against the edge.

Repeat until you dislodge the stuck object.

Severe bleeding: This is surprising: DO NOT immediately use a tourniquet unless you’re a doc or under a doctor’s supervision (that’s how Dr. Oz helped a plumber save a woman’s life this summer). Use clean cloths or paper towels to press down hard on the wound. If the pressure doesn’t stop the bleeding, then apply a tourniquet above the wound, never on a joint.

Poisoning: If you have a poisoning emergency, dial 911. If you think you might have ingested too many meds or dangerous chemicals, call Poison HELP at 800-222-1222. Don’t induce vomiting — that could make

things worse.

WHAT YOUR PEE TELLS YOU ABOUT YOUR HEALTH Will Rogers, that most philosophic of humorists, once said: “There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation.

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” We don’t know if he was right or not, but we are certain that “reading” your pee can tell you a lot about your health.

Four to eight times a day you’ll pass urine, a mix of more than 3,000 chemicals and water, to remove toxins, salts, nitrogen metabolites, excess nutrients and liquid from your body so that your metabolism, blood pressure and brain can function optimally. So here’s your guide to “reading” your pee for signs of trouble: Color changes: Wellhydrated pee is colorless or slightly yellow — unless you take a multivitamin (half of one in the morning and half in the evening). It’s the vitamin B complex that makes for bright-yellow vitamin P! If your urine is darker, it means you need to drink more water. Aim for around 64 ounces a day (more if you sweat a lot). Some medications can temporarily make urine turn florescent green (the antidepressant amitriptyline) or blue (the diuretic triamterene).

Odor Changes: Most of

the time urine is odorless (unless you’re in the subway in August), but diabetes can trigger a sweet smell, and a pungent odor might indicate kidney stones or an infection. And then there’s asparagus; some people are genetically predisposed to have an enzyme that produces that post-asparagus aroma.

GET VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES! Thirteen years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that measles were eliminated in the United States, and we rejoiced that the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine had made this scourge go the way of disco and the mullet. In the days before the vaccine, 3 to 4 million people in North American contracted measles every year; more than 1,000 developed a chronic disability, such as brain dysfunction, because of the disease; and 400 to 500 people died, many of them children.

Since the vaccine, measles-related deaths and severe brain dysfunction have largely disappeared. But during the first eight months of this year, there were 159 cases of measles in 16 states — the largest outbreak in the U.S. since 1996. How could this happen when immunization virtually wiped out the disease?

Well, 131 of the cases hit folks who had never been vaccinated. Chances are the

infections came in on unvaccinated travelers who are from or have been in a country where measles is still a problem. When they landed on our shores, they infected those Americans who also haven’t been vaccinated.

So far, there haven’t been any reported deaths, but measles can trigger a high fever, congestion, sore throat and a body-covering rash.

Out of every 1,000 children who get the measles, one or two will die.

Most states require children to get the MMR vaccine in order to attend public schools. But if you or your kids haven’t received the vaccine, talk to your primary-care doc about getting one ASAP. You’ll protect yourself, your kids and others in your community as well.

GO NUTS FOR WALNUTS Paulie “Walnuts” Gualtieri, Tony Soprano’s sidekick, was always frantically worried about his health.

Clearly, he had no idea that his nickname was a fountain of youth! Turns out, eating 2 ounces of shelled walnuts a day can make your blood vessels more flexible (a sign of heart health), improve your cholesterol levels and help with high blood pressure, glucose control and insulin regulation. In short: It can make you healthier, happier and protect your heart, brain, sex life, kidneys and that youthful glow on your skin!

But walnuts aren’t the only nuts that have turned out to help you achieve a younger RealAge! One mega-study that looked at results from 25 clinical trials

found that eating around 2.4 ounces of nuts daily lowers total cholesterol by 5 percent, heart-and blood-vessel-damaging low-density lipoprotein by more than 7 percent and improves the ratio of LDL to heart-friendly high-density lipoprotein by 8 percent. Triglyceride levels declined by more than 10 percent for folks who started out at 150 or higher.

The studies included macadamia, pistachio, hazelnuts or peanuts (not really nuts; they’re legumes), but not Brazil or pine nuts. So here’s the scoop on these tasty morsels: —2-3 ounces of pistachios a day lowers total cholesterol levels (from around 210 mg/dL) by slashing LDL and raising HDL after only a month.

—Eating almonds daily preserves HDL levels while lowering lousy LDL by up to 19 percent.

—A handful of hazelnuts daily may slash your risk for heart disease and may help protect you from some cancers and dementia.

CURB TEEN BINGE DRINKING You may think the toga party thrown by Bluto (John Belushi) and his Delta Tau Chi pals in the 1978 movie “Animal House” was an exaggeration of adolescent drinking habits for riotously comic effects. But a new report makes us wonder, and worry. Interviewing more than 16,000 high-school seniors, researchers found that 20 percent downed five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks; 10 percent say they slammed down 10 or more; and almost 6 percent admitted to 15 or

more in one long binge. And it’s not just the boys; now 20 percent of girls are doing it, too.

Excessive drinking damages teens’ still-developing brain, memory and motor skills, while putting them at risk for lethal alcohol poisoning, being victims of violent crime, traffic accidents, and depression and anxiety.

Plus, they may have highrisk sex and develop alcohol problems as adults. But you can do a lot as a parent or significant adult in your favorite teen’s life to help a kid avoid all that.

—Explain (calmly) the risks. And DO NOT overindulge yourself. If teens see you do it, they assume it’s OK for them too.

—Talk about how alcohol marketing targets them, so they can understand that drinking isn’t actually so cool.

—Don’t drink with your kids or supply them with alcohol. That signals a goalong-to-get-along attitude that’s a slippery slope.

—Make your kids feel that they’re special and their future is bright, so they understand doing anything (alcohol or drugs) that compromises them is heartbreaking to you and a waste for them.

Survey: Sexting, digital harassment down among young people LOS ANGELES (MCT) — Stop the presses: There’s some good news about teens and sexting.

Fewer teens and young adults have received sexual messages or other forms of “sexting” than a few years ago, according to a new survey of nearly 1,300 people ages 14 to 24.

Two years ago, 32 percent said they had been involved in some form of sexting; this year that number fell to 26 percent.

Pollsters also found fewer numbers of teens and young adults had suffered from digital rumors, spying or other harassment.

For instance, the share of young people who had been victimized by someone logging into their email, Facebook or other social media accounts and impersonating them online fell from 21 percent to 15 percent between 2011 and 2013.

In all, the survey found the percentage of young people who had weathered some kind of “digital abuse” had fallen from 56 percent to 49 percent.

The survey released Thursday by MTV and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research used online panels to survey young Americans about their digital habits.

Teens and young adults who did not have Internet access were provided with

laptops and an Internet connection. Researchers then compared the results to two earlier rounds of the survey.

Not everything has changed, the survey found.

Teens and young adults reported much less progress on “digital dating abuse,” such as a boyfriend or girlfriend reading their text messages without permission, or making them remove exes on social networking sites.

Young people were still about as likely to have shared naked photos or videos of themselves as in the past, the survey found.

But compared with four years ago, teens and young adults are now less than half as likely to have sent such photos to someone they only know online.

In addition, fewer young people said they had received naked photos or videos of someone else or were pressured by someone to send naked photos or videos of themselves, the survey showed.

Why are those numbers dropping? It might be that young people take online harassment more seriously. Teens and young adults are increasingly aware that digital abuse is destructive, the survey found, with 72 percent calling it a big problem that should be addressed.

Young people have also become more likely to

turn to their families for help. This fall, 44 percent of teens and young adults surveyed said they had gone to a family member when someone harassed them online, an increase from the 35 percent who did so in 2011. More than half said telling family improved the situation.

“Parents maybe don’t realize the extent to which their children really do look to them — and the extent to which they can have an influence in their behavior,” said Trevor Thompson, director of the APNORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

However, teens and young adults are uneasy about offering such help themselves. Just under half said they would probably step in and ask someone who was being mean online to stop what they were doing — fewer than two years ago, the survey showed. If they witnessed the same kind of harassment in person, more than two thirds said they would likely step in.

The results were released as part of MTV’s “A Thin Line” campaign against digital abuse, which aims to help young people draw the line between ordinary jokes and harassment.

HISTORIC NIGHT FOR CRESTON CROSS COUNTRY A record breaking season for the Creston cross country teams was punctuated Thursday night at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet in Winterset, as the Panthers added to the list of records and milestones they’ve surpassed this season.

Creston boys qualify for Mostek makes it 3-for-3 Panther girls finish seventh state for first time since ‘88

WINTERSET — Creston junior Maria Mostek accomplished something here Thursday afternoon that no other girl in Creston history has accomplished.

Mostek, with her eighthp l a c e finish at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet, became the first C r e s t o n Mostek girl to ever qualify for the state

cross country meet three times.

“I’ve been aiming for running at state ever since summer,” Mostek said. “It feels really good to qualify for a third time.”

Mostek got out hard, but found herself hovering around the 10th and final individual qualifying spot early in the race.

It made for a few nervous moments in the race.

“There were parts of the race like going up hills and people were like, ‘oh, she’s right behind you!’ Or ‘nine and ten (places),” Mostek said. “I just didn’t want to get to that 11th spot. I just ran like I knew I could (fin-

ish top 10).”

But, as the runners moved into the back side of the course, Mostek moved up to eighth place and held that spot through the end of the race.

“She had a goal, and she went out and accomplished it,” head coach Pat Schlapia said. “She ran tough as nails. She looked very fluid in her running. She was very focused.”

Schlapia said for Mostek to qualify for state three times in a row proves she’s one of the best runners in the state.

WINTERSET — It’s been a long time coming for the Creston boys cross country team.

Twenty-five long years it’s been since a boys team qualified for the State Cross Country Meet.

The wait is over.

The Panther boys finished third here Thursday at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet, scoring 103 points, just ahead of Perry’s 112 to earn the final qualifying spot. Harlan won with 63 points and Dallas CenterGrimes took second with 96 points.

“It’s hard to put into words,” head coach Pat Schlapia said. “Seven individual boys racing, bringing it all together as a team. You have to admit, those were seven great individual efforts, but it was one fantastic team effort.”

The seven varsity members qualifying for the state meet are Cooper McDermott, Jay Wolfe, Ben Irr, Garret Taylor, Kruz Ad-

amson, Brant Hudson and Zack Peppmeier.

History The last Creston team to qualify for state was the 1992 girls team, but the last boys team to qualify was the 1988 team led by Paul Hoff and Mike Linch.

Not only is it the first Creston boys team to qualify in 25 years, but it’s also the first Creston boys team to qualify in Class 3A. In total, the Creston team qualified three individuals — Maria Mostek on the girls side and McDermott (fourth) and Wolfe (seventh) on the boys side.

That’s the most individuals a Creston team has qualified for state in one season.

The Panthers have now had 15 individual state qualifiers in 14 years, dating back to 2000.

Every point matters With just a nine-point difference between Creston in third and Perry in fourth, every single point on the course mattered in the final standings.

McDermott paced the Panthers with his fourth-

p l a c e finish in 17:09 for the 5K course.

W o l f e s p e n t much of the race in McDermott 10th place, but moved up in the final 800 meters of the race into seventh.

Irr, a freshman who just missed out on qualifying as an individual in 11th place, sat in 14th and 15th place for much of the race, but used a strong closing kick to move into 11th.

“Jay sitting in the 10th spot and m o v ing into seventh, t h o s e t h r e e points add up,” S c h l a p i a Wolfe said. “Ben made a surge, had a nice kick.

Panthers reflect on qualifying for state

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

WINTERSET — One thing was clear here Thursday night at the Class 3A State Qualifying Meet — the Creston boys cross country team was excited to be heading to state for the first time since 1988.

Sophomore Cooper McDermott is in his first year as a Creston Panther, but has state meet experience having run in the Class 4A competition last year for Newton. This will be his first opportunity to compete at the state meet as part of a team, however.

“We’ve been working for it,” McDermott said. “The team went out there and did well, and it was nice to come out and make it to state as a team.”

Once the race was over, the wait to find out the team results had the Panthers on edge.

“It’s kind of nerve-wracking,” junior Jay Wolfe said.

The wait probably seemed like an eternity for freshman Ben Irr, who found himelf in the unfavorable spot of finishing 11th individually — one place away from Irr

qualifying as an individual.

“It was kind of stressful at first, but I was pretty sure we’d make it as a team,” Irr said. “It was really tense.”

And how did he feel when he found out the Panthers finished third, earning a spot as a team, and sending him to state as a freshman despite missing out as an individual?

“I was so relieved,” he said. “It felt amazing!”

“I was pretty proud of our whole team for doing what we were able to do,” junior Brant Hudson said. “It’s amazing that after 25 years, we were able to do this.”

Hudson is part of a family that includes a long list of runners that preceded him. Only one of those pre- Hudson vious family members has run at the state meet, so the opportunity for him to compete at state is a special feeling.

“It means a lot to my family, because there’s a lot of runners that I look up to,” he said. “So far, none of them have gone to state except for you (Scott Vicker), and me being the first Hudson to go up to state feels pretty cool.

It feels like we’re starting a

new chapter.”

Zack Peppmeier, a senior, is happy to be extending his high school cross country career another week.

“I’m really glad that we could go out there and still have ano t h e r week and a half of running,” he said. Peppmeier “I did not want my season to end today. I’m glad it didn’t.

We proved to ourselves we could go out there, run as hard as we could and go to state.”

Senior Kruz Adamson said being part of the “cross country family” is an even better feeling now that Adamson he’ll be competing at the state meet.

“It’s kind of another shot at what I want,” Adamson said. “Everyone on our team has worked so hard.

We all wanted this and we all expected it from each other. Since I was little, I’ve Please see REFLECTIONS, page 3S

Mount Ayr’s Larsen wins 1A qualifier meet NV boys fall six points short

TREYNOR — Six area individuals earned spots in the State Cross Country Meet next week in Fort Dodge with top-10 performances Thursday in the Class 1A state-qualifying meet here.

The top three schools and top 10 individuals from each race move on to the Nov. 2 state meet at the Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge.

Nodaway Valley’s 13thranked boys team narrowly missed qualifying, finishing six points behind thirdranked Boyer Valley, the third qualifier. Riverside, ranked 10th, won the boys title with 73 points by three points over second-ranked Council Bluffs St. Albert.

Three Nodaway Valley runners cracked the top 10 to qualify as individuals — freshman Shane Breheny (second), sophomore Heath Downing (fourth) and freshman Brayten Funke (eighth).

Mount Ayr senior Noah Larsen won the 5-kilometer

race in 16.44.89, by a 16-second margin over Breheny.

The two were running shoulder-to-shoulder until Larsen pulled away in the last 3/4 of a mile.

Wyatt Schulz of LoganMagnolia finished in third place, just .05 of a second better than NV’s Downing.

The Wolverines also had a 19th-place finish from Nathan Venteicher, three positions behind OrientMacksburg leader Jesse Johnson, 16th in 17:43.35.

Creston News Advertiser Friday, October 25, 2013

‘Wrestling With Iowa’ documentary nearing completion What started back in December of 2011 as research is nearing completion as a feature-length documentary looking into the quest by Creston/O-M’s Jake Marlin and Denver-Tripoli’s Brandon Sorensen last year for their fourth state wrestling titles.

Ohio filmmaker Tim Jackson released the trailer for his documentary Wednesday night. It can be viewed at wrestlingwithiowa.com.

Jackson is currently working on a master’s degree in filmmaking at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.

The “Wrestling With Iowa” documentary is his thesis project.

He spent six months filming during the 2012-13 wrestling season, following Marlin and Sorensen as they marched toward their fourth state wrestling championships.

He’s worked on editing the film all summer, turning 65 hours of raw footage into 1 hour, 25 minutes in

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker sports editor

the final version.

“It’s been an interesting process trying to find the story through all the footage,” Jackson said Thurday in an interview with the Creston News Advertiser. “The story was there, but having to trim it down to something that’s a movie has been an interesting challenge.”

After spending six months filming, and putting 16,000 miles on his car driving all over the state of Iowa, Jackson grew attached to certain elements he filmed, making it difficult to edit out some parts.

“It’s extremely difficult, because I’m attached to the movie,” he

said. “I’m attached to the people I worked with. When it comes to trimming stuff out, it’s a hard pill to swallow some days. Spending so much time on the road to get somewhere to shoot something, it’s difficult to cut it down.”

Now that Jackson has the story ironed out, and has edited the film down to a workable 1:25, he said he has two major steps left to go through before it will be totally complete.

“It’s interesting in that when the story’s locked, I still have two big steps to do,” he said. “I still have audio mix left and the color correction on the whole movie. I still have about four weeks left until I have a finished movie.”

Once finished, Jackson will hold a screening in Athens. He plans to invite the local high school wrestling team to the screening, along with the Ohio University wrestling team.

When he first posted the trailer online Wednesday night, he included a note stating the first screening would be in Athens in December.

He said that caused some confusion.

“The reason I’m showing it in Athens is the film has always been part of my thesis project for my master’s degree,” he said. “Part of the process is doing a showing here in town. That will be my graduation ceremony.”

Jackson said bringing the film to Creston and Denver, along with a few other stops in Iowa always has been, and still is, at the top of his list.

As for when, that’s still to be determined.

“I really haven’t gotten to that point,” Jackson said. “I’m looking at some dates, looking at some ideas.

I’m really not looking much more beyond finishing this film at the moment. I’m going to graduate and be an unemployed filmmaker in De-

cember. If everything rolls correctly, I’ll be at the state tournament again, and we may do a screening there.

January sometime, I could be swinging through Creston and showing the film in Creston.”

For now, Jackson said he’s just happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“For a first film, just to be able to get through the whole thing is a big sense of relief,” he said.”

And he can’t wait to repay the people of Iowa for the hospitality shown to him during his six-month stay here.

“I was always surprised and amazed at the hospitality I got in Iowa,” he said. “I think I owe everybody a good film, and hopefully I can deliver on this one.”

PANTHERS: Continued from page 1S

There’s another three points. Throw in Garret and Kruz running guts out, that’s the difference right there.”

Seniors rise The team included three seniors — Taylor, Adamson and Peppmeier. With Taylor and Adamson figuring into the scoring five, they picked a perfect day to have one of their best races.

Taylor finished 32nd

in 18:20, while Adamson finished 49th, running his career-best time of 18:51.

“Garret was just gutsy,” Schlapia said. “That’s a legitimate, strong 18:20 for him. He was fighting for every place he could. He’s been doing that for four years. That’s where some of our senior leadership was shining through.

“Right behind him was the best race I’ve ever seen Kruz Adamson run,” Schlapia continued. “He’s really

moved up the last couple of weeks. With both Garret and Kruz, we expect that out of senior leaders.”

Peppmeier finished 65th in 19:25, while Hudson, a junior, placed 62nd in 19:21.

“This is something for the boys we haven’t had in 25 years,” Schlapia said.

“We’ve had some fine individuals through the seasons, and some fine teams, but we’ve never been able to put it together like we did this season.”

MOSTEK: Continued from page 1S

“It’s hard to qualify for the state cross country meet as an individual,” he said. “It’s even harder to qualify twice. It’s even harder to qualify three times. She’s had a lot of moxie and a lot of guts in qualifying three years in a row.”

Team placing As a team, the Panther girls finished seventh out of 13 teams in a highlycompetitive team race.

Creston finished with 165 points, 10 points behind conference rival Shenandoah/Essex for sixth, and two points ahead of Glenwood. Humboldt won the team title with 67 points, Winterset finished second with 81 and Dallas Center-Grimes third with 97 points.

Aside from Mostek’s state-qualifying performance, Panther sophomore Taylor Briley also stepped up and had a big race.

Briley finished 16th

It was an emotional night for the Panther head coach, who has never had a boys team qualify under his watch. The closest he’s come was with an Underwood team that missed qualifying by two points.

“As a coach, when you see that team up on that deck receiving their team medals and when they rolled out the banner that goes up in the gym, it’s hard to put it into words,” Schlapia said. “Not afraid to say,

it makes a grown man cry.

As a coach, on the personal side, this team — both boys and girls — has really lifted me up. That’s why this meet feels so emotional.”

The Panthers return to action at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge, where they will be one of 15 teams competing for the state championship.

REFLECTIONS: in 15:49, just :32 behind Mostek. Closing the gap on Mostek is something Schlapia has stressed to Briley and the rest of his runners all year.

“Taylor Briley ran her best race of her young high school cross country career there today,” Schlapia said. “We’ve really been harping on her to get out harder that first mile, and she did. That was a fantastic race for her to end her season on.”

Raegen Smith finished 41st for Creston, while Jessica Beatty crossed in 49th and Savannah H a r t m a n Smith rounded out the scoring five in 51st.

“Raegen had a fine race once again,” Schlapia said.

“Jessica Beatty, she’s been pretty steady for us all season. Savannah Hartman was right there with her. Overall, we had about

a 1:30 gap, but you can’t fault them for giving their best effort.”

Jenna Hayes in 56th and Madison Hance in 64th rounded out the varsity seven for Creston.

Mostek will compete at the State Cross Country Meet at noon on Nov. 2 at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge.

been a part of this team for a long time. I watched you (Vicker) race. I kind of wanted this whole (cross country) family. It feels great to know I’m part of the team and now that we’re going to state, it’s a greater feeling.”

Garret Taylor, the third senior on the team, is going to savor every last moment with this team that he possibly can.

“To extend my career another week is probably one

of the biggest things about this whole state experience,” Taylor said. “I mean, I love my team more than anything.

We’ve all become really close.

We’re like brothers. The memories we make are absolutely great. I didn’t want it to stop. I don’t see Jay or Cooper or Brant, any of them in any other sports, and the memories we made this year are absolutely phenomenal, and I’m glad we can keep making them.”
