Rise in prices Creston City Council votes 4-3 to accept tipping fee and per capita increases from Prairie Solid Waste Agency. And, those increases could be passed on to you.

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

You may soon pay slightly more for garbage/recycling removal in Creston.

Why? Prairie Solid Waste Agency — who accepts all of Union County’s trash/recyclables — is increasing their tipping fees, single stream recycling and per capita costs for current and future customers effective Jan. 1, 2015.

Amy Schultes with Prairie Solid Waste explained during a Nov. 4 Creston City Council meeting the increases are necessary because the agency is currently losing an average $20,000 per month.

“The market for recyclables is volatile,” Schul- Schultes tes said. “Recycling is the main area we are losing money, but fuel costs and labor costs have also increased. We have not had any increases for a number of years. It has got the point we have to.”

The increases include: Tipping fees from $60 to $65 per ton, single-stream recycling will be $25 per ton and an extra $1.20 per capita for each entity.

The council accepted these increases Tuesday evening after nearly 30 minutes of discussion and a 4-3 roll call vote.

This green bin located at Fareway in uptown Creston is only one of two recycling bins in the city of Creston. Mike Taylor, city administrator, said with the city’s contract expiring with Waste Management in about 18 months, curbside recycling may be a possibility in the future.

Recycling problems The city of Creston currently has a per capita rate of $5, which — as mentioned by Schultes — has not been raised by Prairie Solid Waste Agency since 2006. The agency uses this per capita funding to provide both handling of household hazardous waste and recycling.

However, many of the council members felt the per capita increase of $1.20 was directly related to the large losses the agency is seeing in recycling handling — a service not significantly used by Creston patrons because there are only two recycling bins in city limits.

Those two green recycling bins are locat-

ed at Fareway and the former City Carton building on Highway 34.

“They are dumped about twice per week,” said Mike Taylor, Creston’s city administrator.

However, city council members had few options other than to accept the increases because Iowa Taylor Code requires all cities to provide recycling in some capacity.

The only other options were to refuse to Please see RECYCLING, Page 2

Thanksgiving getaway: 46.3 million to hit the road While promising, the figure is still 8.5 percent short of the 50.6 million high point in 2007 ■

NEW YORK (AP) — The good news for Thanksgiving travelers: the price of gas is at five-year lows. The bad news: a lot more people will be on the road.

During the long holiday weekend, 46.3 million Americans are expected to go 50 miles or more from home, the highest number since 2007, according to travel agency and car lobbying group AAA.

That would be a 4.2 percent increase over last year.

While promising for the travel industry, the figure is still 8.5 percent short of the 50.6 million high point reached in 2007, just before the recession.

Like on every other holiday, the overwhelming majority of travelers — almost 90 percent — will be driving.

The numbers on the gas station signs will be much kinder this year. AAA says the average retail price for gasoline is $2.85 per gallon, 43 cents cheaper than Thanksgiving Day last year. With the average car getting 18.5 miles per gallon, that means a fam-

AAA says the average retail price for gasoline is $2.85 per gallon, 43 cents cheaper than Thanksgiving Day last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s sweeping immigration executive orders cap a turbulent, six-year quest to make headway on a thorny issue that has at times put the White House at odds with some of its fiercest supporters.

To those who argue the actions are long overdue or don’t go far enough, Obama pins the blame solely on Republicans who oppose broader legislation. But Obama Obama himself has contributed to the delays, making political calculations that left legislative efforts languishing throughout his first term and paused the promise of executive action in his second.

In recent months, the protracted process has been aimed in part at finding more favorable political terrain to unveil measures Please see IMMIGRATION, Page 2

Dale grew to manhood on farms in Montgomery and Adams County. He attended rural schools at Longbranch, Rockdale, Jasper #4 and Grant #2 and attended Lenox High School. He was drafted into the Army February 1951 and was in Korea for 3 Christmas’. He served in the 82nd Ordinance Heavy Maintenance Co. He was

awarded the U.N. and Korea Service Ribbons with three campaign stars. He farmed all of his life and he remarked that “2014 was the best crop he had ever raised”.

Dale was united in marriage to Janice Ritnour on February 18, 1962 at the Strand Lutheran Church in Adams County. This union was blessed with two sons: Steven of Creston, Iowa and Scott of Corning, Iowa.

They celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2012.

In 2009 he took all of his family on a Carribean Cruise. He was a great husband, father and loving grandpa. Dale and Janice spent many vacations on motorcycle trips.

that spare as many as 5 million people in the U.S. illegally from deportation. However, Obama’s decision to ultimately wait until after the midterm elections to exert his presidential powers has only heightened the anger from victorious Republicans, who have suggested responding with everything from lawsuits to impeachment.

“The action he’s proposed would ignore the law, would reject the voice of the voters and would impose new unfairness on law-abiding immigrants — all without solving the problem,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Obama announced the executive actions Thursday af-

ter a fitful year of stops and starts. While the measures were widely welcomed by advocates, many said they had come far too late.

As a presidential candidate, Obama told supporters he would “guarantee” an immigration bill within his first year in office. Yet his entire first term slipped by without a real effort to seek legislation.

The president’s advisers say the economic collapse forced Obama to shift his priorities and spend much of his first year seeking to stem massive job losses.

Despite that assertion, Obama moved in 2012 to defer deportations for some young people who had been brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

pay these increases or disband from the 28E agreement — which includes Afton, Shannon City, Thayer, Arispe, Creston, Cromwell and Macksburg — with Prairie Solid Waste and search for other recycling providers.

“Disbanding was never seriously discussed,” Taylor said.

City council members voting in favor of accepting the increases Tuesday were Ann Levine, Randy White, Marsha Wilson and Nancy Loudon.

Against were Gary Lybarger, Dave Koets and Rich Madison.

Another increase Prairie Solid Waste Agency’s increased tipping fee — a charge levied upon a given quantity of waste received — will also cost Waste Management more to dump the

city’s trash there. Taylor estimates Waste Management to pass that cost onto the city at somewhere around 37 cents per customer, per month.

Taylor said — all total — these increases could cause the cost for each Creston garbage/recycling customer to go up between $4 to $6 per year.

He added, in year’s past, the city has absorbed these increases. Will they again?

“That will be a council decision made at a later date,” Taylor said.

Taylor did mention the city’s contract with Waste Management expires about 18 months from now. Preliminary discussions/negotiation with them will begin in about six months and he and the council are hoping to negotiate a lower rate with them or another provider and possibly add single-stream (curbside) recycling.

Old coins have a sticky problem Dear Heloise: We found a box of very old (1892-1930) U.S. SILVER COINS that my father collected. Unfortunately, he wrapped and labeled each small group in masking or drafting tape. They probably were wrapped more than 30 years ago, and the tape is dried out. How do I get the tape and glue residue off the coins without damaging them?

— John D., Cedar Grove, N.J. John, I have a feeling that many of my readers are going to be running into the same situation with the large population of “The Greatest Generation” passing away. First, do no harm. You don’t really know what you have there, and the coins might be worth a little or a lot.

Try simply soaking a stack in warm water and a drop of mild dish soap or even hair shampoo. This should soften and dissolve the tape and glue so you can peel or rub off the tape with your fingers or a soft cloth. Don’t use anything harsh or abrasive. You don’t want to scratch the coins!

Don’t try to “clean them up,” either! Too many people make that mistake, which actually can cause the value of the coins to go down! So, leave them be once you get the tape and glue off. — Hugs,

Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: When traveling with my daughter, I bring along a small umbrella stroller. It makes the trip easier, but the airport is difficult. I saved a cloth bag that collapsible chairs come in and slip the stroller into it. Mine has a strap that I use to carry the stroller when not in use. — C.M. in San Antonio RED STAIN Dear Heloise: I’ve pretreated a red-sauce stain on a cream-colored knit shirt several times with liquid laundry detergent and spray remover.

But I still have some spots left.

gestions? — Patti, via email Patti, sounds like you have tried all of the right things.

Sometimes a stain is just a stain and will not come out.

Anything red is a “RED FLAG” that it’s going to take work. Since the shirt is cream-colored, try a little hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab. Dab only on the spot, let sit for an hour or so and see if it lightens up. Then wash in cold water. That’s about all you can hope for. Last resort: Can you put a small pin or embroider something over the spot? — Heloise HEATER HELP Dear Heloise: In North Dakota, winter can get very cold. We can have a “headbolt heater” (engine-block heater — Heloise) installed to keep BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker the car’s engine warm so the vehicle is easier to start when needed. Most North Dakota motels/hotels have plug-ins to accommodate the customer.

To prevent somebody from taking your extension cord, park the front tire on it. — D.H. in North Dakota This sounds OK, but really you should NOT park a vehicle on (or even drive over) an extension cord. Be safe. — Heloise (c)2014 by King Features BLONDIE® by Dean Young Syndicate Inc.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Romantic interests with someone might heat up in the next month. Meanwhile, many of you will benefit from the wealth and resources of others.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because the Sun is opposite your sign for the next four weeks, you will need more sleep. That’s because the Sun is your source of energy.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The month ahead is a wonderful time to get better organized.

Give yourself the right tools — shelving, file folders, labels, cleaning equipment, whatever — to do a bang-up job.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are now entering one of the most playful months of the year for you! Enjoy romance, vacations, social occasions, playful times with children and sports events. Yahoo!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Your attention will turn to home, family and domestic matters in the next four weeks.

Home-decorating projects will appeal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The Sun and Venus are in your sign now for the next month.

This makes you charming, magnetic and appealing to everyone. Lucky you!

Use this time to ponder what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You are entering a onemonth period that is ideal for sharing your dreams for the future with friends and members of groups. Explore this,

because their feedback will help you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The Sun is now at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. This is the only time this happens all year. It casts a flattering light on you, which makes you look good to others.

Demand the advantage!

YOU BORN TODAY You are freedom-loving and opinionated. Your values matter, and you will fight for the freedom of others. As a parent, you are committed and care about

the welfare of children. This is a testing year of growth and building; however, this growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead.

Skid ends OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — Rookie Derek Carr gave the Oakland Raiders something to celebrate for a change.

Carr threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to James Jones with 1:42 remaining, and the Raiders snapped a 16game losing streak with a 24-20 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.

Oakland’s Latavius Murray ran for two touchdowns on four carries before leaving the game with a concussion.

The Raiders (1-10) built a 14-point lead, but needed a 17-play, 80yard drive led by Carr to secure its first win since beating Houston on Nov. 17, 2013.

Alex Smith threw two TD passes for the Chiefs (7-4), who had won five in a row. They fell a halfgame behind Denver in the AFC West.

The Raiders became just the third team since the merger to beat a first-place team for their first win after losing at least 10 games to start the season. Indianapolis did it against Green Bay in 1997 and Buffalo did it to Dallas in 1984.

The Chiefs will have a long time to stew over this loss before hosting Denver on Nov. 30 in an AFC West showdown.

Hawks fall NEW YORK — Jonathan Holmes scored 17 of his 19 points after halftime, Isaiah Taylor added 15 and the No. 10 Texas Longhorns beat Iowa 71-57 on Thursday night in the 2K Classic.

The Longhorns trailed by 12 points in the first half but outscored Iowa 47-27 in the final 20 minutes to advance to the championship game Friday at Madison Square Garden against California.

“I think it starts with me just being the oldest guy on the team,” said Holmes, the only scholarship senior on the roster. “I came out and I wasn’t as aggressive as I should have been. I started slow and I think it starts with the older guys and we just can’t let that happen.”

Texas (3-0) didn’t take its first lead until early in the second half following Holmes’ blistering start out of intermission. Holmes and Taylor helped the Longhorns keep the tempo up and put it away a little over midway through the half.

“We just had the mindset and coach (Rick) Barnes just told us to attack,” Taylor said. “No matter whether it was zone or man, just to attack the big man. We’re a good driving team and that’s something we do is penetrate to the basket.

And that was something we had to focus on in the second half.”

Aaron White scored 23 for Iowa (2-1), which shot just 29.6 percent and will face No. 23 Syracuse on Friday.

After many years of coaching boys basketball and working in athletic administration, Brent Douma is excited about his newest venture.

The son of former Northwestern College basketball coach Les Douma and brother of Central College men’s basketball coach Craig Douma is beginning his first season as a girls basketball coach at Creston.

And liking it.

“Like I told the parents at the (parents) meeting, I really enjoy coaching girls and the focus that you get from them. The attention you get daily from them,” Douma said. “And on top of that, this is a really great group of girls.”

6 letterwinners Douma inherits six of 10 letterwinners from last year’s 9-13 team that finished strong last year, going 6-5 in the final 11 games.

Chelcee Downing, Olivia Nielsen and Sadie Jones were graduating seniors.

This year’s team also does not return junior post player Camryn Somers, a Division I swimming prospect for Waukee High School who is concentrating on training for that sport. She was the third-leading rebounder and fifth-leading scorer as a sophomore.

Otherwise, most of the production from a year ago returns, and coach Larry McNutt’s final team included an 11-8 junior varsity season and 9-3 freshman

campaign.

“You never want to set a number (wins),” Douma said. “I told the girls, the goal for this program is to be a team that year in and year out, people are talking about Creston toward the top of the Hawkeye 10.”

SWCC’s Schroeder to volleyball hall COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The NJCAA Volleyball Coaches Association has recognized two individuals who will join its Hall of Fame for 2014.

This year’s inductees include Northeastern (Colo.) athletic director Marci Henry and Rita Schroeder, former head and assistant coach at Southwestern Community College.

Induction ceremonies will be held during the NJCAA Division I Volleyball National Championship, Nov. 20-22 in Casper, Wyo. Praised for contributing over 700 victories throughout her coaching career at Southwestern, Schroeder Schroeder

has been a notable asset to the volleyball program for over 26 years. She served as the program’s head coach from her start in 1986 until 2009.

In 2010, she rejoined the Spartans program once again to take over the role of assistant coach to Melissa Blessington – a former player of Schroeder’s – for two seasons.

Some of Schroeder’s accolades include being named an NJCAA district coach of the year five times (1988, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1999).

Throughout her extensive coaching career, she had five NJCAA DII National Championship showings and was a five-time Region 11 champion.

Schroeder also has had

The Panthers are again competing in Class 4A in the girls five-class format, but Douma said the school is “10 to 12” students from being passed up by growing 3A schools, which could drop Creston to 3A in future years.

“We’re really close to being 3A, Douma said. “We’ll just have to see what happens with enrollment in some of the schools right below us.”

seven years at Glenwood, where he was assistant boys basketball coach for five years. Prior to that, he was head boys coach at Clarinda for four years. During his time at Clarinda, the Cardinals qualified for the state tournament and won a Hawkeye 10 title.

Douma, who is a seventh-grade math teacher at Creston Middle School, has also worked in athletic administration at Ballard and Cherokee, where current CHS Principal Bill Messerole was head football coach at the time.

Douma also coached at Alta prior to McNutt’s time as coach there.

With the Creston girls team, Douma sees potential in a faster tempo of play.

“I like to try to push the tempo and speed the game up a little bit,” Douma said, “because I think we have pretty good quickness with our guards and our posts are pretty athletic and can run the floor, too. Of course, we’re looking for a happy medium there. You don’t want to hurry and make turnovers.”

Much of the scoring power on this Creston team will again come from the interior. Jenna Taylor, 5-11 junior center, averaged a teamhigh 14.2 points last year while shooting 55.7 percent from Taylor

Jamboree results Creston 40, Diagonal 4 Taylor Briley scored 16 points, as Creston defeated a young Diagonal squad 40-4 here Thursday in jamboree action.

Briley scored the first six points of the two-quarter game on a pair of layups and a jumper. After Jenna Taylor dropped in a bucket, Briley grabbed an offensive rebound and got the putback to put the Panthers up 10-0.

Katie Sobotka ended the Panther run with a basket for Diagonal’s first points, but it was all the Maroonettes managed in the first half, as Creston built an 18-2 lead.

Jaci Haidsiak hit one of two free throws to open the second quarter, before Briley jumpstarted the Panther offense with an assist to Brenna Baker, followed by a Briley layup. Taylor dished off to Natalie Mostek for a basket and then Briley hit a pull-up jumper to make it 26-3.

Kasydi Klommhaus hit one of two free throws for Diagonal, before Creston ended the game on a 14-0 run.

In addition to Briley’s 16 points, Taylor and Mostek each added six points, while Cammy Rutherford chipped in four.

Creston (40) — Taylor Briley 16, Jenna Taylor 6, Natalie Mostek 6, Cammy Ruther-

ford 4, Caitlin McIlravy 2, Brenna Baker 2, Logan Pettit 2.

will facilitate a versatile offense.

“I thought we looked pretty smooth offensively,” Thompson said.

“Hopefully that shooting helps spread the floor so we can get some penetration. I have two or three guards who can penetrate.

When those kids are hit-

ting threes, it does open things up.”

Paige McElfish was one of those players looking to score inside, and she finished with a team-high 13 points Thursday.

Things went pretty well on the other end of the court as well, as the Wolverines prepare for the season opener at home Dec. 2 against a West Cen-

PANTHERS: Continued from page 6A

the field and 85.4 percent at the free throw line. Both of those percentages set Creston five-player records.

Taylor was also the team’s second-leading rebounder.

First in that category was versatile senior Natalie Mostek, who averaged 7.4 rebounds and 10.5 points after a gradual recovery from a concussion in a preseason scrimmage at Adair-Casey.

Douma expects improvement from her 31.6 percent shooting as a junior.

“We’re going to bring Natalie away from the basket a little bit this year, even though she’s a four (position), because she’s a good shooter who can put the ball on the floor,” Douma said.

“Jenna is a smart player who knows how to use positioning inside.”

Cammy Rutherford, a quick-jumping 5-9 sophomore, can challenge for varsity post time as well, Douma said, and the squad also returns junior Becca Ross.

The guard corps is bolstered by a couple of “newcomers” in a sense, as senior Brenna Baker underwent knee surgery aggravating an injury on Jan. 7. She is back at full-speed as a promising shooting guard with some experience at point guard.

Also, junior Alli Thomsen has returned after a one-year absence, and offers a shooting touch from the wing, Douma said.

“I expect we’ll be zoned a lot, so we’ll need to be able to shoot it,” Douma said.

Senior Maria Mostek, junior Caitlin McIlravy and sophomore Lexie Little look to help at either the wing or point, as well. Junior Taylor Briley, a quick player who led the team in steals a year ago, figures to handle much of the point guard duties. She was second on the team to Downing last year in assists.

With that kind of depth in the guard court, look for Creston to apply some defensive pressure to generate transition offense.

“We want to get some transition baskets,” Douma said.

“We’ll use some three-quarter court pressure.”

Several other candidates on the 14-member JV-varsity team could contribute at times, Douma said, and he’s happy there are enough freshmen (six) to field in a freshman season to gain valuable game experience.

Ryan McKim, who served as a McNutt assistant before taking football positions with

Iowa State and Oklahoma, has returned as varsity assistant and Anthony Donahoo is the freshman coach.

Douma faces a situation where, like volleyball, the Hawkeye 10 is deep in talent from this year’s senior class across the league, creating challenges every night.

Rated opponents The preseason ratings were released Wednesday and five conference teams are listed. Undefeated state champion Harlan (26-0) is ranked No. 1 in Class 4A, while Lewis Central (17-6) is 13th.

In Class 3A, Shenandoah (17-6) is No. 6, Red Oak (16-8) is No. 8 and Carroll Kuemper Catholic is 10th.

Red Oak guard Kate Walker recently signed a Division I letter-of-intent with Bucknell University.

Another opponent has a Division I player in Winterset, which plays at Creston on Dec. 1. Mariah Criswell signed with the University of Northern Iowa.

Another non-conference opponent, Interstate 35, is ranked 15th in Class 2A. “It’s a tough schedule,” Douma said. “We’ll have to take a close look at them and figure out how to best play our opponents.”

Branstad to kick off series of budget hearings Friday DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa should exercise caution in drafting the next budget plan because revenue growth has slowed, a top budget adviser to Gov. Terry Branstad said Thursday.

Department of Management Director David Roederer said the slowdown in revenue growth was due in part to the falling corn and soybean prices paid to farmers.

“It’s like any household.

If you’re not having as much revenue come in as you first projected, you can’t spend as much as you expected,” Roederer said.

Branstad will kick off a series of budget hearings Friday as he readies the state’s next financial plan. Department heads and elected officials are set to present information

to Branstad and his staff.

More than 40 hearings will be held, concluding in mid-December. The process includes a session for the public to weigh in with their concerns.

The governor will present his budget plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1 to the Iowa Legislature in early 2015.

Iowa’s current general fund budget includes nearly $7 billion in spending.

While state revenues have grown compared to the previous year, the gains have been more modest than originally anticipated.

The state has significant surplus dollars, but they are needed to pay for two substantial items Branstad and the Legislature approved in 2013 — new education spending and a commercial property tax cut.

SWCC Parents as Teachers Earns Iowa Family Support Credential According to the Iowa Department of Management and Public Health, SWCC Parents as Teachers (PAT), Southwestern Community College of Adair and Union counties has earned the Iowa Family Support Credential. The SWCC PAT program is the 54th Iowa program to earn this honored distinction.

The Iowa Family Support Credential is awarded to family support and parent education programs that are validated through an external evaluation to be in substantial adherence to the Iowa Family Support Standards.

The Iowa Family Support Standards are based

on the most up-to-date, evidence-based practice in the family support field. Adherence to the standards indicates the program is providing high quality services that will result in positive outcomes for young children and their families.

The SWCC PAT program diligently worked toward meeting all of the 139 standards over the course of more than two years with the assistance of a program specialist. A peer review was conducted by trained peers from central Iowa to validate the program’s adherence to the standards.

The Iowa Family Support Credential is valid for five years.

HEALTH Beating type 2 diabetes

(BPT) — More than 29 million Americans have diabetes and nearly 86 million others are on their way to a diagnosis. Type 2 diabetes has increased in prevalence simultaneously with the increase in consumption of processed foods and the rise in artificial sugars in American diets. Fortunately, evidence has shown Type 2 diabetes (or insulin resistance) can often be controlled - or even reversed - by proper eating and exercise.

A prime example of this is Ryan Nakashima, who after receiving a diabetes diagnosis in early 2014 has been working hard to lose 30 pounds. In doing so, he has reduced his blood sugar back to pre-diabetic levels. Hard work, diet, exercise, accountability and dedication have made a huge difference in his health.

As a child, Nakashima was very active and participated in judo, wrestling and cheerleading.

During college, he continued cheerleading and stayed active; however he didn’t pay attention to diet

and nutrition. After some post-collegiate life-changing events, Nakashima moved home to Hawaii and stopped exercising altogether. He descended into a deep depression and sought comfort in fast food for the next eight years.

In January 2014, Ryan weighed 200 pounds and was informed at a routine checkup that he had diabetes and dangerously high cholesterol. “I was too young to face the consequences of diabetes and to live with the accompanying problems and complications the rest of my life,” says Nakashima . He saw firsthand what diabetes had done to his grandmother, and both of his grandfathers had heart and foot issues and general poor health, which ultimately led to their deaths.

During this same time, his mom, who also had diabetes, suffered a massive heart attack giving Nakashima a wakeup call.

“She was lying in the hospital bed, getting ready for surgery, and she turned to me with tears streaming down her face, and asked

me to make her a promise: that if she survived the surgery, I would change my lifestyle and defeat diabetes,” he says.

The day Nakashima returned from the hospital, he drove by Life Time Fitness Lake Houston and immediately joined. He took a health assessment and scored very poorly.

He needed to be on a strict diet, one that included fewer carbohydrates and more sources of healthy protein, and he needed to exercise.

Realizing he could not do it on his own, Nakashima decided to work with a personal trainer and also got involved in group fitness.

“I made sure Ryan incorporated variety into his fitness regime. Not only did he take part in oneon-one training sessions, but also several group fitness classes,” says Gavin Blades, Nakashima’s personal trainer. “He did not stick with the exact same schedule week to week either. Each day was differ-

ent for him thus confusing his body and leading to continued improvements and success.”

Within three months, Nakashima lost 30 pounds, lowered his cholesterol and improved his blood sugar levels. He was also able to stop taking two of his medications and reduced his blood sugar to pre-diabetic levels. His Life Time health assessment score improved drastically, his pant size decreased from a 36 to 32 and his shirt size from a large to a small.

“My trainer and group fitness instructors motivate me to continue leading a healthy way of life.

While I have only been visiting the Lake Houston gym for four months, I plan to continue to workout regularly. Once I lose three more pounds and reach my goal weight of 160 pounds, I can focus on getting my six-pack abs,” Nakashima says.

Winning the hunger game “The Hunger Games” may provide you with a good moviegoing experience, but if you’re trying to maintain or achieve a healthy weight, feeling hungry can be a game-losing strategy. That’s why we say: Aim to shed a pound a week, and make sure you eat five to nine servings of fruits and veggies every day.

You’ll change your eating habits for a lifetime, and your weight won’t bounce up and down, something that’s hard on your metabolism, insulin regulation and cardio system.

We also know that you can never have too much help when it comes to managing your weight. That’s why you have www.sharecare.com and www.myclevelandclinic. org at your fingertips. Plus, here’s more info from the Institute of Food Technologists on controlling your hunger and binge eating.

1. Become a lean-protein pro. Add one serving of protein (a poached egg, three egg whites or 3 ounces of lean chicken or tuna) to breakfast and snack on one serving midafternoon.

2. Get 100 percent wholegrains: These tasty carbs digest slowly, contain lots of fiber and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

3. Go nuts! Snacking on 12 walnut halves (with heart-friendly anti-inflammatory omega-3s) or 23 almonds (they equal 1 serving) protects your brainpower, quells hunger and improves your love life.

4. Hummus a happy tune — chickpeas, as well as lentils and dried peas and beans, are fiber-rich and packed with protein; it’s

one more way to help tamp down cravings.

Now you can head to the movie theater and just say “no” to sugary, fatty concessions!

TIME TO CHECK OUT ... THE CHECKOUT IM-pulse buys (think Instant Messaging) are sent your way whenever you wheel a grocery cart into the checkout lane or stroll up to a cash register to pay for a gallon of gas. “Hey, Sugar Brain, pick me! Pick me! Unwrap me now and scan the empty wrapper.

Come on. You know you want me!” And the message is getting through! Around 90 percent of you comply!

No wonder the quick-snack business is a billion-dollar industry (and a zillion-calorie obesity machine).

One business analysis firm found that the typical American woman (men are worse) devours more than 14,300 calories in grocery store impulse purchases annually, packing on an extra 4.1 pounds each year.

That means you’ll be almost 25 pounds heavier in six years, all due to the checkout lane. And the problem is everywhere, whether you’re buying duct tape at the hardware store or picking up a prescription at the pharmacy — 90 percent of the edibles around you will be junk food, and 60 percent of the beverages will be sugar bombs. No wonder the Center for Science in

the Public Interest points to the snack-food industry as a major contributor to North America’s obesity epidemic.

Smart steps: When you’re shopping, make it a habit to bring a healthy snack (fruit or nuts) for you and your kids. Keep it in hand as you head for the register. Offer your child sitting in the cart a book to read (distraction is good) and repeat “I’M not IM-pulsive anymore!” Then you’ll avoid those extra 25 pounds.

CPAP DOESN’T HAVE TO CRAMP YOUR STYLE In “The Mask,” mousey Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carey) discovers his inner flame and wins the heart of the luscious Tina (Cameron Diaz).

Seems his ghoulish green mask didn’t interfere with his love life at all; in fact, it improved it! Well, the same can be said for CPAP — the continuous positive airway pressure device used to relieve sleep apnea.

Obstructive sleep apnea happens when the throat relaxes, allowing fat and sagging muscles to obstruct the airway. This causes breathing to stop and start throughout the night. Sleep apnea can cause or aggravate heart disease, high blood pressure and liver problems, and damage brain cells. Erectile dysfunction affects up to 64 percent of men with OSA. (OSA affects about 24 percent of men; 4 percent of women.)

Enter CPAP! If you use it, you can help prevent or reduce those health threats.

Combine CPAP with weight loss, smoking cessation and avoiding excess alcohol and drugs, and you’ll see huge health improvements. Unfortunately, some studies find that 83 percent of folks who are prescribed CPAP use it fewer than four hours nightly. One reason is people that worry that the nasal mask, headgear and motor will turn off a bedmate.

A new study should help put those worries to bed: Guys who regularly use CPAP (either before or after a roll in the hay) report the same sexual quality of life as those who aren’t using it. And dodging health complications can make things get better between the sheets! So breathe easy and sleep well. CPAP may unmask your romantic superpowers!

GET THE LEAD OUT! Marauding Huns. Invading Visigoths. What really caused the fall of Rome?

Some historians suggest it wasn’t outsiders, but lead poisoning. Lead was used extensively in the upper classes’ plumbing, utensils, even makeup, and the aristocracy suffered from poor decision making, erratic behavior, a low birth rate and early death — all symptoms of lead poisoning.

Today, a new source of lead poisoning in the U.S. is menacing the 19 million folks who go to indoor shooting ranges annually. When fired, lead-based bullets and primers shed a cloud of toxins. Poor sanitation and inadequate ventilation let lead dust hang in the

air and settle on surfaces, contaminating workers and shooters. The dust also settles on range-visitors’ skin, clothing and hair, and in car interiors. It’s then transported home, where it exposes family members to dangerous levels.

There are around 16,000 to 18,000 indoor firing ranges in the United States. But only 201 were inspected in the past decade, according a report from the Washington state newspaper The Columbian. That explains the more than 2,000 police and firing range workers who were found to have elevated blood lead levels from 2002 to 2012. Almost 3,000 more folks also were affected just by visiting ranges.

So before you spend time in a range, ask how often it cleans its HEPA air filters and washes down the entire area, and if any workers have ever tested positive for elevated lead levels. If they cannot assure you the area is clean and safe, shoot right out of there!

CHICKEN LITTLE IS SPREADING EBOLA — TAKE COVER If Chicken Little were a reporter for CNN and squawked, “Every day at least 175 people are hit by the Ebola virus and 80 people die, every single day in the U.S.,” that should qualify as a runaway epidemic — and a reason to worry. Especially, if that onslaught had been going on for years with no end in sight! And if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that over 33,000 American citizens would die from Ebola in 2015, it would be hor-

rendous, right?

But guess what? Those are not — and will never be — the North American Ebola numbers. Those are the tragic numbers of gun shootings and deaths right here in the U.S. every year.

Many of you have guns, and that’s your right as Americans and Canadians.

But laws could be passed that would curtail civil gun violence. Simple things like assault-weapons bans.

Hunters don’t use them to go deer hunting, but gangs sure find them handy when dealing drugs and fighting police. Making those bullets as hard to come by as oxycodone and tougher rules about background checks on gun buyers would help, too.

So don’t panic about an Ebola epidemic that doesn’t exist here. Turn your attention to epidemics that are well-entrenched and spreading! Gun injuries are numero uno, but don’t get us started about preventable flu deaths (one year it totaled 49,000 people) and health-care-related infections (75,000 who had these died in 2011)! Let’s worry about the epidemics we have. *** 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.

Round 2: Buffalo faces another wintry wallop Those living in the Buffalo area were already buried under as much as 5½ feet of snow Wednesday, and they awoke Thursday to more heavy snow that could bring 1 to 3 feet more.

■

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A new blast of lake-effect snow pounded Buffalo for a third day on Thursday, piling more misery on a city already buried by an epic, deadly snowfall that could leave some areas with nearly 8 feet of snow on the ground when it’s all done.

But the meteorological “kick me” sign on the city hasn’t fallen off just yet.

Forecasters say a rapid weekend warmup, with temperatures as high as 60 and rain, could turn all that snow into floods.

“It is an extraordinary situation,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters after touring the region Wednesday and talking to truckers who had been stranded more than 24 hours on the Thruway. “It will get worse before it gets better.”

Even for Buffalo, a place that typically shrugs at snow, this was a stunning snowfall — the kind of onslaught folks will be telling their grandchildren about.

Those living in the Buffalo area were already buried under as much as 5½ feet of snow Wednesday, and they awoke Thursday to more heavy snow that could bring 1 to 3 feet more. The new snow and high winds moved through the city of Buffalo with lightning and thunder overnight Thursday, dropping several inches before blasting towns to the south, which were in line for the highest totals, National Weather Service meteorologist David Zaff said.

“This is an historic event. When all

is said and done, this snowstorm will break all sorts of records, and that’s saying something in Buffalo,” Cuomo said.

The storm came in so fast and furious over Lake Erie early Tuesday it trapped more than 100 vehicles along a 132-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway that remained closed Wednesday.

Tom Wilson, of West Seneca, split a Salisbury steak frozen dinner with co-workers and tried his best to get some rest when he was stuck 36 hours at his warehouse job.

“I slept on a pallet. Then I slept on some office chairs, and then I went back to the pallet,” Wilson said. “Then I found some sponges to lay on. I found one pack of sponges unopened. That looks like a pillow to me.

“We tried to make popcorn with a two-by-four, two empty pop kegs, some charcoal and a dust pan,” he added. “It didn’t work.”

“It is an extraordinary situation. It will get worse before it gets better.”

— Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Buffalo, New York

Bethany Hojnacki went into labor at the height of the storm and ended up giving birth in a Buffalo fire station after she and her husband couldn’t get to the hospital. Mother and daughter were later taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Cuomo said Wednesday afternoon that all trapped travelers had been removed from their cars, though some truckers were staying with their rigs.

Asked by reporters how officials could allow people to be snowbound in cars for 24 hours, Cuomo cited a jack-

knifed trailer that prevented plows from removing fast-falling snow, and drivers’ own wrongheaded choices.

“What happened was, even though the Thruway was officially closed, people went on. We didn’t immediately block every entrance. It was a mistake,” Cuomo said.

“Part of it is citizen responsibility,” he added. “If the road is closed, it’s closed.”

The storm was blamed for up to eight deaths in western New York, at least five of them from heart attacks. Erie County officials announced the latest death on Thursday, that of a man in his 60s who was stricken Wednesday while operating a snowblower.

Residents of a mobile home park in the suburb of West Seneca were being evacuated Thursday after their roofs began to collapse under the weight of heavy snow.

The NFL’s Buffalo Bills offered $10 an hour plus game tickets for people willing to help shovel out the stands in Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, in the snow belt southeast of the city.

Team spokesman Scott Berchtold said the team has an estimated 220,000 tons of snow to remove from the stadium before Sunday’s game against the Jets — more than ever before.

Sunny skies returned to some hardhit areas Wednesday, but workers were still trying to cart off the acres of snow.

Lake-effect snow fell heavily on some northern New York areas east of Lake Ontario.

With an additional 2 feet possible on Thursday, the one-week totals for the hardest hit areas will approach the average snowfall for an entire year: 93.6 inches, or close to 8 feet. It won’t stick around, though. With temperatures expected to rise above freezing on Saturday and approach 60 by Monday, flooding is likely to produce the next challenge.

Group calls on Hy-Vee to end tobacco sales IOWA CITY (AP) — Anti-smoking activists are launching a campaign calling on Iowa’s largest grocery store chain to end tobacco sales at locations with pharmacies and clinics.

The Iowa Tobacco Prevention Alliance said Thursday that Hy-Vee, Inc. should stop selling cigarettes, chewing tobacco and e-cigarettes at those locations to demonstrate its commitment to its customers’ health.

The alliance noted that Hy-Vee is a leader of Iowa’s

“Healthiest State Initiative” and has taken many steps to focus on health and wellness.

Executive director Jeneane Moody said selling tobacco products is inconsistent with those values.

She said the group went public with its campaign after Hy-Vee didn’t respond to a letter requesting a meeting to discuss the issue. CVS ended tobacco products at its stores earlier this year.

A Hy-Vee spokeswoman didn’t immediately return a message.
