Remembering Camelot

By JAKE WADDINGHAM CNA staff reporter

jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

A sophomore in high school, Randy Hughes was sitting in English class in Fort Madison, when he heard Walter Cronkite’s voice come over the intercom.

“It was really a Hollywood scene, because the voice came on and said, ‘...and that’s the story from Dallas, where President John F. Kennedy has been killed,’” said Hughes.

“And bam, it was just an electric shock in the classroom, stunned silence.”

Even though he would spend his career giving lectures about the events that transpired on Nov. 22, 1963, and everything that followed as a history teacher at Creston High Hughes School and Southwestern Community College, Hughes said the assassination marked a change in America’s course through history that was never easy to comprehend.

“Some people had their hands to their face in shock,” Hughes said. “By the time we got the news it was probably about aquarter to 2 and we had one more period of school. We just all sat in the classroom talking about the situation because there weren’t televisions in all the classrooms and all the access to information.”

Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated by a sniper around 12:30 p.m., while traveling with his wife Jackie in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas.

He had just passed his 1,000th day in office as the youngest president, taking office in January 1961. He would also be the youngest to die.

Remembering Kennedy According to a White House profile, Kennedy was born in Brookline, Mass., on May 29, 1917, and grew up to be a Harvard graduate before entering the U.S. Navy in 1917.

Upon returning from war, Kennedy quickly dove into a career in politics, earning a spot as a Democratic Congressman in the Boston area. He advanced to the U.S. Senate by 1953.

Through 1960, Kennedy battled with Republican candidate Richard Nixon for the presidency. His appearance helped him better Nixon during the first televised presidential debates.

“He was my president, and he was the first president I was aware of,” Hughes said. “He was young, and he was exciting.”

Kennedy won by a narrow margin, becoming the first Roman Catholic president. In his inaugural speech, Kennedy offered one of his most memorable quotes, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can Woods do for your country.”

Creston Mayor Warren Woods had just gotten out of the Marine Corps in May 1963 and was attending Nebraska Wesleyan University studying political science.

Fifty years ago, newspaper headlines all across the country announce the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. The Creston News Advertiser — which cost 7 cents in 1963 — ran an Associated Press story describing the event.

Jackknifed on Highway 34

CNA photo by SARAH BROWN

Slippery conditions: Freezing drizzle created slippery conditions on southwest Iowa roadways Thursday

afternoon into evening. Pictured here is a semi-trailer jackknifed after losing control near Skyline Bridge (located on Highway 34 between Creston and Afton). The accident slowed traffic in the area for two and a-half hours.

Roadways were still slick this morning for commuters. Classes were delayed two hours at several schools in the area including Creston School District. The forecast today includes sunshine and a high of 32 degrees. No precipitation is expected this weekend, however, it will be cold with temperatures sinking into the single digits by early Sunday.

Teamwork: Driver

Greg Crill and Jason Swierczek work together to apply ice melt this morning on the sidewalks in front of the administration building at Southwestern Community College. The duo began snow and ice removal at the college at 4 a.m. today. Slippery road conditions this morning forced SWCC — along with several other area schools — to delay classes two hours today.

Wesleyan),” Woods said.

“The whole campus was just down, that weekend was pretty somber.”

However, Oswald never stood trial for the attack.

Two days after Kennedy died while being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail, Oswald was shot on national television by Jack Ruby.

“We had the weekend (since Kennedy died on a Friday) and on Sunday was when Oswald was killed,” Hughes said. “That was the big buzz story on Monday.”

Despite the findings of the Warren Commission, the assassination has always had a cloud of conspiracy of what really happened.

“The questions that can no longer be answered just bother me,” Hughes said. “My understanding of it is we don’t understand it.”

That uncertainty also adds to the illusion of Kennedy’s Camelot and what parts of history remain unwritten because of an assassin.

Remembering Camelot The phrase Camelot was

originally used to describe Kennedy’s presidency by his wife Jackie during an interview with Theodore White, a writer for Life Magazine.

Camelot is in reference to the fictional castle and court associated with King Arthur.

It was performed as a musical

by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.

In the interview with White, Jackie said Kennedy enjoyed the Broadway performance so much, he purchased the album and it was one of his favorites to listen to before bed.

One of his favorite lines from the musical was, “Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.”

Hughes said describing the JFK presidency with Camelot is fitting.

“We were young and naive and innocent,” Hughes said.

“The hero always slayed the dragon, the damsel was always saved. That’s the way the attitude was in my understanding, in my little world.

And then it got dark.

“I wish we had paid more

attention to the Camelot lesson at the time, because at the end, the king is dead.”

History lesson Fifty years after the Kennedy assassination, Hughes said it is no longer just a history lesson for the younger generations — it is ancient history.

“It’s something they’ve heard about, something they know that President Kennedy was killed,” Hughes said. “I don’t think they know the temper of the times and the significance of the event.”

But Hughes said today’s generation doesn’t understand that Kennedy’s death altered the way the world operates today.

“It’s a history lesson to them, but I don’t think they have the visceral, emotional feeling,” Hughes said.

“I was in a class of seven or eight people, all political science majors,” Woods said.

Woods said his professor announced the president had been killed.

“People had their heads down,” Woods said. “And then he started telling what he thought might happen politically, that Lyndon would serve out the first term, then get re-elected and then Nixon would be elected in 1968. He hit the nail on the head.”

According to the White House profile, Kennedy worked to establish new economic programs, as well as attack poverty and pass new civil rights legislation.

And while his presidency was not always smooth — the Cuban missile crisis in October 1962 being an example — his era is kindly referred to as Camelot.

“We were headed one direction in 1963, and we took a sharp turn a different direction,” Hughes said. “We went from a hopeful, optimistic, can-do country to a country that got bogged down in a terrible war in Viet Nam followed by civil disorder, riots and protests and the resignation of a president (Nixon).”

The shooter After a 10-month investigation, the Warren Commission concluded that Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald and that Oswald was acting alone in the assassination.

“There were a lot of Kennedy supporters (at Nebraska

A patient primer Dear Readers: At some point in life, we will all have to visit someone in the HOSPITAL, whether it be for the birth of a new baby, a routine procedure, etc. Here are some very helpful hints to remember when visiting: • Check the visiting hours so you do not arrive at the wrong time!

• Gifts and flowers are always a nice touch. See if a patient is allowed to have them.

They are not permitted in some sections of hospitals.

• Do not smoke before visiting. The odor may affect some patients.

• DO NOT visit if you have a cold or other contagious disease! Please, I know you mean well, but for heaven’s sake, you are going into a hospital with sick people!

• Avoid bringing food. If asked by the patient, check with the nurse first.

• If a doctor or nurse comes into the room, step out into the hall so there is some privacy.

Hope these hints help make visiting a good experience for you and the patient. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise

TV plans Iowa’s home game against Michigan at 11 a.m. Saturday will be shown on the Big Ten Network.

Iowa State’s home game against Kansas at 7 p.m. Saturday will be shown on Fox Sports 1.

Saints win ATLANTA — The New Orleans Saints have won plenty of games with their dazzling offense.

The defense is doing its part, too.

Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

Brees threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham and a 1-yarder to Benjamin Waton, giving the first-place Saints (9-2) a sweep of the season series with their NFC South rivals. Atlanta (2-9) dropped its fifth straight game, clinched its first losing season since 2007 and was officially eliminated from the division race with five weeks remaining.

VCU falls SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico —The last time Florida State and Virginia Commonwealth met, the Seminoles lost in a matchup of attacking defensive styles in a ragged, fast-paced affair that saw VCU trudge away as the survivor.

The rematch featured the same brand of basketball on both sides. Only this time, it was Florida State that proved to be better at it.

Ian Miller scored 22 points and Devon Bookert added 18 to help Florida State survive 25 turnovers and cruise past No. 10 VCU 85-67 Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. It sets up a semifinal matchup with Michigan, which beat Long Beach State earlier Thursday.

UNLV wins C O L O R A D O SPRINGS — Tim Cornett rushed for a careerhigh 220 yards and four touchdowns and UNLV became bowl eligible for the first time since 2000 with a 41-21 win over Air Force on Thursday night.

Experienced Panthers open season Monday Three starters return

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

Creston head girls basketball coach Larry McNutt knows how important it is to have experienced players on a roster.

And that’s exactly what he has on his roster this year, as the Panthers return three starters from last year’s 6-17 team, along with a host of other players who suited for the varsity team last year.

Senior Chelcee Downing and juniors Natalie Mostek and Brenna Baker all started for the Panthers last season. Senior Olivia Nielsen and sophomores Jenna Taylor and Camryn Somers all played quality minutes off the bench a year ago.

“It helps experience wise,” McNutt said about returning three starters.

“They’ve been through it as starters. They know the other teams a little bit and what we need to do.

And hopefully it provides a little bit of leadership.

They’ve been through it and know how it works.

Any time you have experience, it’s a good thing.”

Mostek led the team last year with 9.2 points per

game, 7.2 rebounds per game and 46 assists. Downing chipped in 6.3 points per game and Baker averaged 4.2 points per game.

Filling roles Even with all the experi-

ence the Panthers return this year, there are still two very important roles that need to be filled.

Both starting post players from last season — Brianna Maitlen and Zaidy

Frank — were lost to graduation. Frank, who would have been a senior this year, graduated early.

McNutt said a committee of four players will probably work to fill those

two post positions.

Spartans fall in quarterfinals Consolation round resumes today

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

PERRYSBURG, Ohio — Southwestern’s quest for a national volleyball championship was derailed Thursday evening by a powerful team from Oakland Community College of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

Fourth-ranked Oakland (36-2) vaulted into tonight’s Division II semifinals with a 25-22, 25-21, 25-14 sweep of the Spartans (35-10). Oakland meets top-ranked and 33-4 Cowley County (Kan.) in one semifinal, while second-ranked Parkland (Ill.) — the last team to beat SWCC on Oct. 12 before Oakland’s sweep Thursday — meets third-ranked Johnson County (Kan.).

Defending national champion Grand Rapids (Mich.) was defeated by Parkland in the quarterfinals.

Earlier in the day, 12thseeded Southwestern upset fifth-seeded Illinois Central in a 26-24, 25-23, 2521 sweep, which assured the Spartans of a finish no lower than eighth in the 16-team field.

Winning that match, after topping seventh-ranked Kirkwood for the regional title in the midst of a

14-match winning streak, was a big step for the program, Southwestern coach Melissa Blessington said.

“That was a good win for us,” Blessington said of her team’s sweep of Illinois Central.

“I told the girls, in the past two weeks w e ’ v e Blessington beaten the fifth and seventh-ranked teams, and we were not ranked.

That puts things in perspective a little bit.”

It was a short turnaround of barely more than two hours after the hard-fought win over Illinois Central, with no more than four points separating any of the sets. Oakland, meanwhile, had more rest after a relatively quick 2515, 25-19, 25-21 win over South Suburban (Ill.).

“We spent a lot of energy in that first match, even though it was three sets,” Blessington said. “Each set was very close, a lot of long rallies. They didn’t have quite as hard of a time with South Suburban. That extra 30 minutes does make Please see SPARTANS, page 3S

Outdoor news Archery participation Archery is experiencing a wave of popularity thanks, in part, to the successful Hunger Games series, and locally to Iowa’s expanding archery in the schools program.

In conjunction with the release of Hunger Games: Catching Fire on Nov. 22, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will be giving away a brand new Matthews Genesis Bow valued at $200.

To enter the drawing, watch the movie, save the ticket and go to www.iowadnr.gov/archery for instructions. Entries must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2013 for the drawing in January. The Iowa Bowhunters Association’s National Archery in the Schools Program Foundation is sponsoring the bow for the drawing.

Iowa has real life archery stars of its own.

Miranda Leek, from Des Moines, is the current indoor and outdoor champion, a member of the 2014 Senior US National Archery Team and the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team for women’s recurve archery.

Bridger Deaton, of Otley, is a member of 2014 Senior U.S. Archery Team for men’s compound archery, after his team placed silver in Wuix, China at the 2013 World Archery Youth Championships.

After his brother died, Robert Kennedy told Nebraska and Oklahoma to play football

By BLAIR KERKHOFF

The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Fifty years ago Friday, America came to a stop to process the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and decisions had to be made quickly about how to handle the weekend’s football games.

Play or postpone for a period of mourning?

Most college games scheduled for Nov. 23, 1963, were not played. But one major contest kicked off as scheduled — Oklahoma at Nebraska.

“A very difficult decision,” said Wayne Duke, who was in his first year as Big Eight Conference

commissioner.

But one made with the Kennedy family’s blessing, which is why the game, which decided the conference championship, was played.

Bud Wilkinson, in his final year as Oklahoma’s coach, had been selected

by Kennedy to serve as director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness in 1961.

Hours after the assassination, a group gathered at the University of Nebraska Coliseum to discuss the game: Wilkinson, Duke, Nebraska coach Bob Devaney and athletic director Tippy Dye and members of the Orange Bowl com-

mittee.

Nebraska Gov. Frank Morrison was against playing.

But Wilkinson placed a call to Bobby Kennedy, the U.S. Attorney General and the President’s brother.

“We called Bobby,” said Duke, 85. “And he counseled Bud to play the game. He said the country needed a pick up.”

The decision to play was made that night, and Duke had given the go-ahead to the other Big Eight schools to play their games, including Missouri at Kansas.

But as Saturday dawned, Duke learned that school officials there, as most around the country, had

postponed the game.

Nebraska-Oklahoma carried on. There was no pregame marching band or entertainment, except for the National Anthem and a long moment of silence.

Fans who attended the game remember an eerie quiet at Memorial Stadium until kickoff.

The Cornhuskers won 2920, claiming their first conference championship in 23 years, and Duke said there were some misgivings.

“We were criticized by some,” Duke said.

Olivia Nielsen,” he said.

“We have four girls to fill that spot. i don’t know if any one will fill that spot, but I think as a committee we’ll fill it.”

With versatile players in Mostek and Somers, the Panthers can change their offensive l o o k s based on what the d e f e n s e Mostek g i v e s them.

“They can play inside and outside depending on how the defense wants to play us,” McNutt said.

“We have some options there. Olivia and Jenna, they both can step out and shoot a little bit. It will make us a little more versatile in what we want to

Experienced bench McNutt will have the luxury of an experienced bench to substitute with, as well.

Losing only three seniors from last year’s team, nearly everyone who suited varsity a year ago is suiting again this year.

Maria Mostek and Sadie Jones both suited last year and return to help fill out the bench this year.

Taylor Briley, Gracie Russell and Caitlin McIlravy will also suit varsity.

“Sadie Jones, she didn’t get to play a whole lot as a junior, but she was on the varsity,” McNutt said.

“Again, we have a lot of girls who maybe didn’t get to play a lot, but they were with the varsity and know what it takes. That’ll definitely help for our bench players.”

Another player added

into the mix is junior Hannah Hagle, who is out for the first time.

“Hannah Hagle came out this year, which was good to help out on our numbers,” McNutt said.

“She hasn’t been out since eighth grade.”

The Hawkeye 10 Conference won’t be any easier this year.

Three teams from the conference made it to the state tournament last year, as Harlan reached the state championship game.

“It’ll be just as good, if not better,” McNutt said about the conference.

“Kuemper will be good.

Obviously, Harlan will be the team to beat. Lewis Central will be good. Red Oak will be good. I hear Shenandoah, they’ve got their two all-conference players back, and they have a 6-0 freshman who has been playing well in

practice, I guess.”

The Panthers finished eighth in the 10-team league last year, finishing with a 3-10 record.

Council Bluffs St. Albert gets added to the league this year after the Saintes finished 11-9 last year.

“The conference is really good,” McNutt said. “It will be a tough go again.

We’ll just have to be ready to go.”

The non-conference slate will look slightly different this year than in past years for Creston, but it will still be tough.

The Panthers open play Monday at the Raiderette Tipoff Tournament in Mount Ayr against OrientMacksburg. Creston would play either Mount Ayr or Lamoni on Tuesday.

Also on the non-conference slate is a state qualifier from last year in Winterset. Other games include Chariton and In-

quarterfinals, 3-1.

The two Iowa teams could be on a collision course. Central Columbus, which swept Monroe College (N.Y.) in the first round, meets Southwestern while DMACC takes on defending champ Grand Rapids in the other consolation match today.

“If we both win, or both

lose our first match (today), we will meet in the placing match for fifth or seventh,” Blessington said.

“Central Columbus will be a tough match. They’ve beaten Kirkwood twice.

We have not played them, but I know a lot of people who have, so I’ll be getting information and probably watch their matches here

H-10 outlook

terstate 35 in home games and a road trip to Clarke of Osceola.

“It’s a little bit of a different nonconference schedule compared to past years,” McNutt said.

“But, it will be good to get a change in there and see some different teams, and see what we can do.”

The SWCC Jamboree scheduled for Thursday night was cancelled because of weather. Creston will host Nodaway Valley in a jamboree game (two eight-minute quarters) at 5:45 tonight at Creston High School. There is no admission fee and the public is invited to attend.

a difference when there’s not much time in between.

“I thought we played really hard in those first two sets against Oakland,” she added. “In the first set we were playing really well.

A couple of points here or there, we just didn’t get.

Our serve receive got a little off and we were done in that third set.”

But early in the second set, there were indications Southwestern would tie it up 1-1 after taking early leads of 5-0 and 8-1 on the service of Ashley Strong and Cassidy Yong.

“We just got stuck in a

rotation that doesn’t usually happen,” Blessington said.

Quickly, Oakland knotted it at 12-12 and gradually moved ahead to a 21-17 advantage. The 25-21 win put the tiring Spartans in a 2-0 hole against one of the national powers.

“We really should have had that second set,” Blessington said. “That would have put us in a much better situation.”

The other national tourney team from Region XI, DMACC, had a similar fate. The 11th-seeded Bears edged No. 6 seed Glendale, 3-2, and then fell to Johnson County in the

Learn more about Lupus and the search for answers (BPT) — For those who are living with lupus, daily activities can be a struggle and life can become inconsistent. While many people are experiencing debilitating symptoms, from the outside, many of those with lupus don’t “look sick.”

Lupus, “the great imitator” as it is often called, disguises itself to look like other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetes, Lyme disease, various blood disorders, a thyroid problem or any number of other heart, lung, muscle or bone diseases. Because of this, lupus is commonly misdiagnosed.

More than 1 million people in the United States have lupus and those who understand their condition know the daily struggles that come with having this disease. If you are unfamiliar with lupus, it’s important to learn the specifics of this

devastating disease as well as the research currently underway to develop options that are safe and effective for people with lupus.

• What is lupus? Lupus, otherwise known as systemic lupus erythematosus, is a long-term, autoimmune disorder that affects the skin, joints, kidneys, brain

and other organ systems.

While every patient experiences symptoms differently, symptoms such as extreme fatigue, headaches, fever, painful joints, anemia, chest pain, hair loss, abnormal blood clotting or other symptoms are common.

These symptoms may come and go and can change

throughout the course of the disease.

• Who is at risk for lupus?

Lupus can affect any person at any age but it most often affects women between the ages of 15 and 45. Additionally, African American, Hispanic and Asian women have a higher risk of developing lupus.

• How is it diagnosed?

There is no single test to diagnose lupus. It may take many months or even years for a doctor to diagnose lupus. A variety of laboratory tests are used to detect and monitor physical changes or conditions that may appear as a result of lupus. Each test helps doctors determine whether a lupus diagnosis is right.

• How is lupus treated?

There currently is no cure for lupus. In fact, over the last 50 years only one medication has been approved to treat this disease.

While many drugs exist that reduce the signs and symptoms of lupus, these drugs carry side effects of their own, many of them serious, including damage to the body’s organs with prolonged use. Treatment plans are created to prevent and treat flares, the reoccurrence of symptoms, and also reduce organ damage.

• What is being done to find future treatment options? Physicians nationwide are participating in a clinical research study called the EMBODY Program to help advance lupus research. This global clinical research study is being conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication called epratuzumab in people with lupus. Epratuzumab is being evaluated to see if it can help prevent the immune system from attacking healthy tissue, help reduce the level of inflammation and improve the symptoms associated with lupus.

• How can I learn more about this study? To take part you must be 18 years of age or older, diagnosed with lupus and not pregnant or nursing. You can learn more at rethinklupus.com or by calling 855-60-LUPUS.

Sick puppy and Chinese take-out When Boodle, the Labrador retriever in Carl Hiaasen’s novel “Sick Puppy,” swallows a few glass eyeballs from wall-mounted animal heads, the poor pup gets, well, as sick as a dog. But a canine will chow down just about anything! That’s why you need to pay attention to what man’s best friend eats.

Consider the recent news about potentially toxic jerky treats marketed for pets in North America. Since 2007, the Food and Drug Administration has gotten reports from 50 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces about 3,600 dogs (and 10 cats) getting sick from eating these treats; about 600 died.

In 2011, the FDA finally jerked to attention and had some product testing done.

They identified one Chinese manufacturer in particular associated with the highest numbers of jerky-related pet illnesses. The manufacturer blamed it on their suppliers, but the Chinese reportedly suspended those exports anyway. More recently though, a New York State lab found evidence of up to six drugs, including antibiotics, in certain jerky pet treats imported from, guess where? China. The drug levels weren’t considered toxic by themselves, but they can trigger allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock.

Now, the FDA has decided to establish new rules for selling pet food that will increase sanitation and require labeling that includes the country of origin of each ingredient.

In the meantime, apply the same standards to your pet’s diet that you know should apply to yours.

Avoid processed foods, and

don’t snack on treats loaded with sugar syrups and sodium (like jerky).

PROBIOTICS CHASE AWAY COLDS In the 1990s sitcom “Martin,” Martin Lawrence played multiple characters, including the troublemaking kid with the perpetually runny nose and bad attitude, Roscoe. To avoid having a Roscoe of your own this winter, we say try probiotics. There’s a good chance it’ll clear up the runny nose, and grumpiness, too.

A new study reveals that taking probiotics twice a day for six months helps kids chase away cold symptoms.

When given the probiotic acidophilus NCFM, children had 53 percent fewer fevers, 28 percent fewer runny noses and 41 percent fewer coughing spells compared with kids getting a placebo. If they did get sick, recovery time was cut by a third. And when kids were given a combo of acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium animalis, the incidence of fever dropped 72 percent, coughing 62 percent and runny nose by 59 percent. Again, the duration of symptoms was reduced, this time by half. So if you want to protect your child (and yourself) from catching a nasty cold, here’s what we suggest.

External helpers: —Wash hands frequently.

The easiest way to catch a cold is to transfer the virus from hands to your face.

—Keep indoor air humidified; many cold viruses thrive in low humidity.

Internal helpers: —In addition to probiotics, take a multivitamin, 1,000 IU of vitamin D-3 and 900 IU of anti-inflammatory DHA omega-3 daily. And shoot for nine servings of fresh fruit and vegetables.

—Drink plenty of fluids, avoiding those with added sugars; limit natural fruit juices to one 4-ounce glass a day; get the rest of your juice from whole fruits.

SOOTHING BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME The 27-year-old Burning Man arts and music festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert is an experience that draws almost 70,000 people a year. Impressive. But more than 185 times more people (13 million folks in North America, around 4 percent of the population) experience something called burning mouth syndrome.

Women are four to seven times more likely than men to experience the feelings of intense burning of their tongue, roof of mouth, inside cheeks, gums and throat (without any sign of skin irritation or sores), and it’s most common after age 60. Like many mysterious ailments, this one has been blamed on everything from emotional disturbance, menopause, bad lifestyle habits, faulty dental work and acid reflux to tongue thrusting. But indications are that it’s actually related

to dysfunction of cranial nerves that are connected to the mouth and tongue, and it’s triggered by, well, no one knows for sure.

But research is finding ways to help ease the pain and discomfort. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) — a plantbased omega-3 fatty acid found in walnuts, avocado, flax seeds and chia seeds — protects your nerves and quells inflammation. Ninety-seven percent of people who took 200 milligrams of ALA three times a day for two months saw marked improvement of symptoms.

This result is far better than other suggested remedies, including oral capsaicin rinses, hormone therapy for women or antidepressants.

The recommended total daily intake of ALA for adults is 1.1 to 1.6 grams (that’s 1,100 to 1,600 mg) daily, the same amount found in six to nine walnut halves. Hope those nuts can cool your fire!

A FLU SHOT, STRAIGHT TO THE HEART When the giant Philistine soldier Goliath saw the Israelite shepherd boy David stroll out of an olive grove, sling in hand, to challenge him, we wouldn’t be surprised if the giant had thought something like, “Take your best shot, kid.”

Down went Goliath.

Today modern medicine is bringing down another giant, influenza, one shot at a time. In fact, in the past six years, more than 13 million illnesses and 100,000 hospitalizations have been avoided because folks got their seasonal flu vaccine! And now a major review reveals that if you’ve had a heart at-

tack or stroke, getting an annual flu shot will slash your risk of another cardiac event by up to 55 percent. This builds on a previous study that found a flu shot cuts the risk of a heart attack by 45 percent for folks who have cholesterol-clogged arteries but haven’t yet had a heart attack.

Flu shots are for everyone 6 months and older. This year, there is a standard shot available against two strains of influenza A and one of B (a trivalent vaccine). There’s a version for folks 18 and older who are allergic to eggs, and there’s a high-dose version for people 65+. And if you’re 18-64, the standard vaccine can be administered using an ultrathin needle for a lot less ouch!

Another version (called quadrivalent) also is available. It protects against two strains of A and two of B. It’s also available as a nasal spray for healthy folks 2 to 49. So, take your best shot!

ON YOUR TOES FOR WEEKEND HOSPITAL STAYS “The eagle flies on Friday,” declared T-Bone Walker in the 1947 hit tune “Stormy Monday.” That bluesy phrase means Friday equals payday — and that equals time to take off! But you know who else takes off on Friday? Hospital workers, including nurses and specialist/doctors. And in many locations, diagnostic labs and imaging facilities are not as readily available, and the technicians may be part-timers with less experience.

Does it matter? Well, two major studies show it really

does. In Canada, it seems stroke sufferers admitted on weekends are more likely to die within seven days than those admitted on weekdays. In the U.S., the AMA Journal says heart-attack patients are far less likely to survive. And across the board, anyone going into the hospital on a weekend has an increased risk of complications.

So if you (or a loved one) need to go into the hospital on a weekend, here are four smart steps to take: —If you can, arrange to have helpers (friends, family members, hired nurse aids) spend as much time with you as possible.

—Get the phone numbers of all doctors involved in your care, including doctors on call; and contact your primary care physician.

—Insist on answers to important questions: Did you disinfect your hands? What meds are being administered and why? Do nurses and docs know what medications you’re taking regularly? What tests or procedures are needed and when?

—And if something doesn’t sound right, ask again; then contact the doctor on call. That’ll even your weekend odds. *** 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.

Early detection and treatment can slow the progress of kidney disease (BPT) — More than 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease (CKD), a progressive loss of kidney function that’s most often caused by diabetes or high blood pressure.

Both kidneys are usually affected by CKD which, if left untreated, may lead to a complete loss of kidney function, or end stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD is a life-threatening condition, since kidneys play a vital role in cleaning toxins from the blood, as well as providing important hormones for normal body function, and maintaining normal fluid and blood pressure status.

CKD patients whose kidneys are failing need to consider treatment options to replace the lost kidney function, including kidney transplant, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

The good news is that when CKD is discovered early, a variety of treatment strategies - including medication, exercise and diet changes - can help to either prevent further kidney dam-

age or slow the progression of this life-threatening disease.

That’s why Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA), the nation’s leading network of dialysis facilities, is urging those with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease or a family history of kidney disease to be screened regularly for CKD. The necessary blood and urine tests are simple, inexpensive and Board of Directors - November 18, 2013 Creston Community School District The Board of Directors of the Creston Community School District met on Monday, November 18, 2013 in the Board Room at 6:01 PM.

The ‘hearing bone’s’ connected to the what?

Studies show that hearing loss is connected to other health conditions (BPT) — Once upon a time, before people knew any better, they thought that hearing loss was simply a part of growing older - something not worth doing much about.

They were wrong.

Turns out, hearing loss isn’t fussy about age. More than half of us with hearing loss are still in the workforce. And hearing loss is a much bigger deal than we ever imagined. We need to take it seriously.

As one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States today, hearing loss affects baby boomers, Gen Xers and every other age group.

And, when left unaddressed, hearing loss affects just about every aspect of a person’s life.

The big surprise is that hearing loss has been linked to other health conditions.

Hearing loss can have unwelcome companions like heart disease; diabetes; chronic kidney disease; depression; cognitive decline, dementia or Alzheimer’s disease; increased risk of falling; increased hospitalizations.

In fact, as studies on the link between hearing loss and other health conditions mount, we’ve begun to see how our ears - and specifically how our hearing - connect to our whole body and

health.

Here’s what we know: The very best thing to do for hearing loss is to find out if you have it as soon as possible. Then take it seriously.

If deemed appropriate by a qualified hearing health care professional, treat it.

Hearing aids can benefit the vast majority of people with hearing loss.

Cardiovascular and hearing health are connected.

Studies show that a healthy cardiovascular system positively affects hearing.

Conversely, inadequate

blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. Some experts even believe that because the inner ear is so sensitive to blood flow, it is possible that abnormalities in the cardiovascular system could be noted here earlier than in other less sensitive parts of the body - making the ear a kind of “window to the heart.”

People with diabetes are about twice as likely to have hearing loss as those without it.

Recent studies show a link between hearing loss and dementia, leading many experts to stress the importance of addressing hearing loss. One study found that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. Another found that hearing loss is associated with accelerated cognitive decline in older adults, and that those with hearing loss are more likely to develop problems thinking and remembering than

older adults whose hearing is normal.

People who don’t address hearing loss are more prone to depression. Fortunately, studies show that people with hearing loss who use hearing aids often have fewer depressive symptoms, greater social engagement, and improved quality of life.

Hearing loss is tied to a three-fold risk of falling.

One study found that even people with mild hearing loss were nearly three times more likely to have a history of falling.

A study of older adults showed that those with moderate chronic kidney disease had a higher prevalence of hearing loss than those of the same age without the disease.

Hospitalization is more likely for older adults with hearing loss than for their peers with normal hearing, according to a study by experts at Johns Hopkins.

A 2013-published study found that older men with hearing loss had a greater risk of dying, particularly from cardiovascular causes.

But men and women who used hearing aids - even though they were older and had more severe hearing loss - had a significantly lower mortality risk than those with hearing loss who did not use hearing aids.

Most doctors don’t include hearing health as a routine part of annual exams. So ask to have your hearing tested. Once you reach middle-age, it makes sense to include hearing tests as part of your routine annual care.

It seems that the “hearing bone” may be connected to more than we originally thought.

So the next time you think you might be having trouble hearing something, listen to your ears. They may be telling you something.
