Mental health care expanding in Creston amid state shortage

By BAILEY POOLMAN screen.

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Recently, Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston gained employment of a psychiatrist. Mark Preston, MD, happens to be the only psychiatrist who is able to meet patients in person in the city of Creston.

Crossroads, a mental health center in Creston, also has services available for a variety of mental health issues. However, their psychiatrists can be seen via telehealth, or a TV

Why is there only one in-person psychiatrist?

There are a variety of reasons.

“There’s a shortage of psychiatric providers nationwide, but there’s a particular shortage in Iowa,” said Pete Brantner, executive director at Crossroads.

Psychiatry Preston recently joined the Greater Regional team with a specialty in adult psychiatry. His medical education began at Iowa State University in Ames, and he

continued his education at Drake University in Des Moines and did his residency at University of Iowa in Iowa City.

He worked in private practice with his father in Des Moines, then began working for Unity Point before coming to southwest Iowa.

“I thought, well, maybe it’s time for me to start to slow down and focus in on the part of my job that I like the most, and that’s the relationship aspect of psychiatry,” Preston said. “So, as you would guess, psychiatrists, a lot of the times, we spend a

lot of time with each patient because we’re trying to understand the patient’s life and their stressors. So the doctor-patient relationship becomes important.”

An issue for mental health care in Iowa, according to Preston, is the shortage of all forms of mental health care providers, which then leads to a deficiency in public education and awareness.

“Those providers we do have tend to be clustered around the population centers. Des Moines, Cedar CARE | 2A

Southwestern students to build duplex in partnership with Sonntag

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Southwestern Community College (SWCC) carpentry students have a new building project on their hands: a duplex on South Maple Street.

The SWCC board of directors approved a first-year building partnership contract with Don Sonntag, a private developer in Atlantic, during a board meeting Tuesday. This is in addition to SWCC’s building partnership with Union County Habitat for Humanity, which was approved for the fifth year.

Sonntag is building condominiums on Cottonwood Road in Creston, as well as three or four duplexes on the south side of Creston. As of now, SWCC carpentry students will help build one of the duplexes, located at 404 and 406 S. Maple St.

In the fall, the students will begin work on the duplex, and each unit will be 873 square feet with two bedrooms, one bathroom and an attached garage. Sonntag said the cost will be $129,950, but renting is also an option. These duplexes are for low-to-moderate income individuals or families.

“I think it’s good for the community to have the training for young folks, so that’s why I easily jumped into this,” Sonntag said. “We’ll probably do most of the concrete work for them, and they can build on it during Sonntag their class time.”

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are edging higher Thursday morning as companies including agribusiness giant Monsanto are climbing on reports of possible buyouts. Retailers got more bad news as department store Kohl’s reported disappointing first-quarter results.

KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average gained 18 points, or 0.1 percent, to 17,730 as of 10:23 a.m.

Eastern time. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose a point to 2,065. The Nasdaq composite index dipped 10 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,748 as technology and health care stocks traded lower.

DEAL TALK: Bloomberg News reported that German chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer might make an offer for U.S.-based Monsanto. That follows a wave of consolidation in the chemicals industry: DuPont and Dow Chemical agreed to combine last year, and ChemChina agreed to buy Syngenta of Switzerland in March. Monsanto stock climbed $8.25, or 9.1 percent, to $98.60.

Data security company Infoblox surged $3.08, or 20.1 percent, to $18.39 after Bloomberg reported that a

private equity firm offered to buy it.

MORE RETAIL WOES: Department store Kohl’s said its sales dropped and its income was weighed down by high costs. The company’s results suffered as it discounted some items to clear out inventory. The stock fell $3.37, or 8.7 percent, to $35.33.

Retailers have been struggling for months. Macy’s slashed its profit forecast Wednesday following its quarterly report, and Gap posted worse-than-expected April sales on Monday. Nordstrom fell $1.27, or 2.8 percent, to $44.15 and Macy’s lost another 49 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $30.89.

EAT UP: Burger chain Jack in the Box reported strong results, including better sales at its Qdoba Mexican restaurants. Its stock jumped $9.20, or 14.1 percent, to $74.35.

CARDED: Payment card company CPI Card Group reported disappointing results as shipments of chip-enabled cards were lower than expected. The company said the market is struggling in the U.S. and cut its guidance because credit card companies aren’t STOCKS | 2A

Rapids, Iowa City especially,” Preston said. “If I’m going to complain about the shortage of mental health providers in rural areas, maybe it’s time to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak.”

Historically, there has been a shortage of mental health care providers because people go into other medical fields.

According to Preston, another reason is how Medicare may not reimburse for psychiatric services.

According to National Institute of Mental Health 2014 statistics, 4.2 percent of all adults had a serious mental illness.

That adds up to nearly 10 million people 18-years-old or older. Half of those people were female and most were under the age of 49. Other statistics from 2014 show 18.1 percent of American adults had any kind of mental illness, and this number includes the serious mental illness numbers. That adds up to nearly 45 million adults.

In 2015, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad closed two of Iowa’s four mental health facilities in Mount Pleasant and Clarinda.

After the closures, Branstad also made general statements on the possibility of closing the remaining two facilities in Cherokee and Independence.

“In Des Moines, I can tell you yeah, we see, as inpatient psychiatric beds have dwindled through the years, we see more and more severe cases, people with severe acute problems, that we didn’t used to see when there were more beds around,” Preston said. “And, that’s because the payors, who are the state and the private insurance companies, don’t like to spend money on inpatient psychiatric care.”

Preston also has relation in the area. His parents have a small farm in the area, and his wife’s family is from Afton, where her parents still live.

Crossroads Meanwhile, Crossroads, located on Cottonwood Road in Creston, also has offices in Osceola and Winterset, and serves Corning, Greenfield, Lamoni and Lenox.

“I think one of the things you need to realize about psychiatric services today is very little counseling goes on by the psychiatric provider,” Brantner said. “There’s a little bit, but not much. They’re mainly medication providers.”

Crossroads provides four different providers to their patients. Two are psychiatrists and two are psychiatric nurse practitioners, which means they have been trained to prescribe psychotropic medica-

Evonne Lents, Ellen Pool, Dave Collings, Brian Britten and Ron Lauer, members of the Orient-Macksburg School Board of Directors, were presented certificates for their service. They had just approved the 2006 graduating seniors list, a sharing agreement with Prescott School district and an Aug. 21 start date for the 2006-07 school year.

Creston 2006 seniors had many outstanding athletes, so it was difficult to choose an outstanding male and female. Instead, Ashley Hartsook and Brittany Riley were both chosen as Outstanding Female Athlete, and Trevor Conner, Dane Wardenburg and G.G. Harris were chosen as Outstanding Male Athletes.

he has no concerns about this agreement, as Sonntag has about 20 years of experience partnering with students at Iowa Western Community College and Atlantic High School.

“We have contacted the superintendent of Atlantic High School, and they said there w e r e no concerns and things went very well,” Taylor said. “So, Taylor Don will take the risk, and he will finance this, and we will build it for him. I think it’s a winwin situation.”

Sonntag agreed past student partnerships have gone well, as he has sold every unit the students have

helped build in Atlantic.

“I furnish everything – the materials, the plumbing and heating and the wiring that’s necessary,” Sonntag said. “I think it’s important to give these young folks training in the trades of carpentry, electrical, plumbing and heating and the kind of things employers in the area need and want. It’s definitely handson, and a lot of the students are cut out for hands-on training, and I think it’s going to benefit every student.”

Sonntag said it’s nice to break even once he sells housing built by students, but that isn’t the point of the project.

“Even if it loses a little bit of money, it’s still good for the students so they get a feel for whether they want to be in this kind of trade,” Sonntag said.

Sonntag said the foundation for the duplex is in, and he will start bringing in wood Monday so students can begin building soon.

tions. Also, two providers are licensed to counsel children as well as adults.

A nurse will talk with a patient at Crossroads and take basic vitals. That nurse will then talk with the provider without the patient present.

After the patient sees the provider, that patient will then talk with the nurse again if any questions were not answered.

“We want to make sure that people, when they come in, that we find out all the information that we need to find out so that they can be taken care of,” Brantner said.

Crossroads also has substance abuse services available. According to Brantner, 60 percent of people who present with mental health issues have some kind of substance abuse issue, and a common characteristic is those people do not see the same provider for both issues.

Brantner said health care personnel at Crossroads want to help prevent reciprocity when it comes to both substance abuse and mental illness. But, that can be difficult.

“We have decided to go with telehealth. A, because there hasn’t been a lot of psychiatrists that want to come to southwest Iowa. B, psychiatric services are very expensive,” Brantner said. “So, we have found that this is a more efficient way to deliver psychiatric services. ... If people maybe have a bad experience with one prescriber, or maybe they don’t mesh with one, we have different options for them.”

The nurses as Crossroads travel to other offices and locations, but it would be inefficient for a psychiatrist to travel because it would take away from that doctor providing care to patients.

“Not very many people are choosing to be psychiatrists because it’s a specialty field. People who go to med school are choosing to get into other kinds of fields rather than the psychiatric field. So, there’s a shortage of therapists in the state, too,” Brantner said. “What’s becoming more challenging for providing outpatient services, for example, is that we have a shortage of therapists and psychiatrists. To find them is not easy.”

Crossroads facilities, which are available to see all kinds of patients, cater to 3 percent of their population coverage.

That is approximately 1,600 people in a six- to eight-county area. There is no age limit for patient care, and people from across the socioeconomic spectrum visit the facility. The most common causes for care are depression and anxiety, as well as other chronic mental illnesses.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, May 12, 2016

The May flowers are in full bloom The rain sure has kicked the grass and flower production into full gear this spring. I know a lot of folks who are having a hard time keeping up with all the mowing. The trees are in full bloom. My blue spruce has all kinds of new growth on it.

Thank goodness we didn’t get all the hail and winds that they got over in Omaha this week. I talked to my friend over in the south part of Lincoln and he reported that they had hail up to baseball size. I guess you never know what you are going to get for weather in the spring.

San Diego I had a chance to visit San Diego a week ago for a newspaper conference. Our hotel was right on the Pacific Ocean. We found

What’s up Rich Paulsen publisher

a local seafood restaurant right where all the fishermen bring in their daily catch. Boy what a treat. You want to talk about fresh seafood. Wow! The place was called Mitch’s Seafood and everything was homemade. My favorite was the white Mexican shrimp cocktail. They made their own cocktail sauce to go with the shrimp and boy was it good. Both my wife and I had a good time throwing our extra bread and French fries into the ocean and watching all the sea-going birds fight for the food.

They made all kinds of noise fighting each other off for the treat. Pretty entertaining. We also had a chance to have dinner on the USS Midway, a retired aircraft carrier. It was built in 1945 and saw a lot of action in the Vietnam War. They have many of the old planes and helicopters on the deck for you to look at.

They also had flight simulators you could try out if you were brave enough. You strap yourself in and could be upside down in short order. For the record, the conference was a good one with several great speakers.

Fish I took my fishing pole out of moth balls last week and hit a couple of the local lakes. That smoke that came in from Canada must have really brought the fish

out. I caught all kinds of fish — crappie, bass and bluegill, mostly.

But I ran out of bait, and called it a day after dragging in about 50 fish. A fun day of fishing.

RAGBRAI The central committee is working hard on getting things arranged for the 20,000 visitors we will see on July 25. If you would like to host a family or make some new friends you can call the Creston Chamber office.

The RAGBRAI riders just found out last week if they will be an official rider. So many will now start the search for a place to stay. The parks, SWCC and high school areas will be teeming with people. It looks like all the extra folks in town may tax our sewer system. It takes a lot of water to take care of the town growing by

three times in one day. We only have about 75 days before the big event.

Cottonwood Great to see the ground being broke on the Cottonwood Road new housing area. I give Don Sonntag a lot of credit for hanging in there over the past couple of years to make the project a reality. Our city is still pretty short on housing. I’ve been here 16 years and it always seems like we need more housing for folks.

The four duplexes he is building on Elm Street are also starting to take shape. It should be a good year for construction in Creston.

Thought for the week: “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.” — Winston Churchill

Obama should heed Hiroshima’s survivors The White House announced this week that President Barack Obama will visit Hiroshima, the site of the world’s first atomic-bomb attack. He will be the first sitting president to go there, and only the second president ever, after former President Jimmy Carter visited in 1984. Obama’s pilgrimage to Hiroshima, where 140,000 people were killed and another 100,000 seriously injured on Aug. 6, 1945, will not be accompanied by a formal apology. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the trip was to highlight Obama’s “continued commitment to pursuing the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” Yet the Obama administration also recently revealed its 30-year, $1 trillion plan to modernize the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal.

With each passing year, fewer and fewer survivors of the horrific attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain to provide eyewitness accounts.

These survivors are referred to with great respect in Japan as “hibakusha.” In 2014, we were given a tour of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park by a hibakusha, Koji Hosokawa. He was 17 in 1945. His sister was 13. “My biggest sorrow in my life is about my younger sister, who died in the atomic bomb,” he said.

While in Japan, we also went to Tokyo to speak with the world-renowned writer Kenzaburo Oe in his publisher’s office. He won the 1994 Nobel Prize for literature. We asked him if President Obama should apologize for the two atomic bombings: “I am not seeking an apology, whether from the president or from any kind of person, in regards to this issue,” he told us. “I believe the fact that humanity did create these nuclear weapons is a crime that all of humanity is responsible for. And I believe this is an issue of a much greater scale than

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

any individual politician could make an apology for.” Oe, 81, is not a hibakusha, but is a survivor of World War II, and the experience as a child deeply impacted him.

As if anticipating the criticism that Obama is now receiving, accused of mounting an “apology tour,” Kenzaburo Oe said in 2014: “I believe that if Mr. Obama were to come to the memorial ceremonies in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, for example, what he could do is come together with the hibakusha, the survivors, and share that moment of silence, and also express considering the issue of nuclear weapons from the perspective of all humanity and how important nuclear abolition is. [This,] I think, would be the most important thing that any politician or representative could do at this time.”

Since those two devastating bombings in 1945, on Aug. 6 in Hiroshima and Aug. 9 in Nagasaki, there have thankfully been no more military attacks with nuclear weapons. The U.S. and the Soviet Union came close, and nuclear warheads remain armed and aimed in both the U.S. and Russian arsenals.

The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a beautiful, haunting place. The most iconic landmark is the “A-bomb dome,” atop a large building that was not completely destroyed. As we left the memorial, Koji Hosokawa told us to stop. He looked us in the eye, and told us not to forget the victims: “People lived here. They lived here.” President Obama should meet Koji Hosokawa and other hibakusha, and hear their stories.

Tornado season is upon us HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Oklahoma was hit by dozens of tornadoes Monday as the annual onslaught of twisters arrived right on time for fans of the Weather Channel. You can set your watch by it. Every May, Mother Nature holds a real estate seminar in Oklahoma showing you how to flip houses with no money down.

The Kentucky Derby was run at Churchill Downs in Louisville this last Saturday and televised

by NBC Sports. This year’s run for the roses had no surprises.

Nyquist came in first, followed

by Exaggerator who came in second, followed by Hillary who came in third and clinched the nomination.

Donald Trump surged into a tie with Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania and Florida on Tuesday in the Quinnipiac Poll. In the same poll, Trump leads Hillary in Ohio. It was such good news for Republicans that people who get their news from Facebook trending won’t hear about it for six weeks.

Caitlyn Jenner will appear nude on the cover of Sports Illustrated wearing only a strategically placed U.S. flag over his still-male genitalia. It’s dicey.

The reason Donald Trump is so vague about the North Carolina bathroom law is that Caitlyn is his only female voter outside his immediate family.

The Environmental Research Report was released Tuesday which said rising sea levels in the Pacific are starting to have a noticeable effect on topography.

The report claimed that five of

the Solomon Islands have totally disappeared. No word yet on what Sharon Osbourne did to run them off.

The Kardashians took a oneweek trip to Cuba where they shot an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. They found a place with one-party rule, substandard government health care, subsidized public housing and nobody speaks English. And that’s when they got home to Los Angeles.

President Obama gave an inspirational commencement address at historically black Howard University Saturday. It drew from his own life. President Obama Obama told the graduates there’s no limit to what they can accomplish in life as long as they’re willing to dream big and ignore the U.S. Constitution.

Anheuser-Busch announced Tuesday it will re-label its beer cans from Memorial Day through Election Day with a patriotic theme and print out America on the labels. Unfortunately, Anheuser-Busch was recently bought by a European brewery, InBev. Budweiser is as American as apple strudel.

Hillary Clinton admitted she misspoke after telling West Virginians she was going to put the

coal mines out of business. Last week she said joining a gang is like joining a family. Hillary has made so many gaffes on the campaign trail that her new Secret Service code name is Joe Biden.

Ted Cruz said Tuesday he’s suspended his presidential campaign however he’s not necessarily done. He’s still in withdrawal. The Betty Ford Center just opened a rehab for politicians who need to detox from a losing presidential campaign and start a new sober life — it’s called the Jerry Ford Center.

Donald Trump hinted on Monday he might consider proposing a tax surcharge on Wall Street profiteering just as Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders demand.

Has anyone considered the consequences? This is the kind of punitive tax that could drive our best people out of insider trading.

Hillary Clinton got clobbered in West Virginia Tuesday after telling West Virginia coal miners that she’s going to put the entire coal industry out of busi- Clinton ness. Hillary is married to the greatest politician of her generation. Einstein was dead right when he theorized that opposite particles attract.

North Korea staged a massive celebration in Pyongyang’s public square Tuesday to celebrate the nation’s new congress. The dictator was pleased. At the climax of all the choral numbers and dancing, Kim Jung Un was promoted to the North Korean Army’s highest military rank, five-foot-two.

Christians are named after Christ who is their leader. This name brings honor and glory to Christ and denotes one as a follower of Christ by adhering and conforming to His doctrine.

God foretells that He will “call his servants by another name,” Isaiah 65:15.

And, “The gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name,” Isaiah 62:2. Here God foretells that He will give His people a new name after both Jews and gentiles are involved. Also notice the Lord would give the name.

By Acts 11, the gospel had been preached to both Jew and gentile and the church in Antioch was composed of both. In fulfillment of this prophesy we read, “And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch,” Acts 11:26. “And in His name shall the gentiles trust,” Matthew 12:21.

It was the Lord who gave the name after the gentiles began obeying the gospel.

After the apostle Paul had preached the gospel to King Agrippa, “Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian,” Acts 26:28. Almost is not good enough. When we wear the name Christian, we give glory and honor to our Lord. “Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this manner,” 1 Peter 4:16. We should never be ashamed to wear the name Christian.

Jesus says, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of ing - school. Wednesday, 9:15 a.m. Mass - St. Malachy School; noon to 5 p.m. ReRun shop.

Who is a Christian?

Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory,” Luke 9:26.

But there are those who must be ashamed of Christ since they will not wear His name, the name Christian.

They wear the names that glorify other men or things such as John the Baptist, Martin Luther, the apostles, the methodical way of doing things, the community, Rome, the Day of Pentecost, etc. Even by their names they don’t even claim to belong to Christ.

Why would anyone want to wear a name that does not have God’s authority and approval? Denominations do not exist by the authority of God and are contrary to the doctrine of Christ, John 17:21.

The term Christian is used very loosely today.

One is not a Christian just because he says he believes in Christ. “Even the devils believe and tremble,” James 2:19. Today every kind of church doctrine, tradition and practice is labeled as “Christian.” Even the United States is called a Christian nation. This is a misnomer.

Christians are only those who have been baptized for the forgiveness of their sins, Acts 2:38, so they can be saved, Mark 16:16.

Then “The Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved,” Acts 2:47. Only Christians are in the Lord’s church and have the promise of heaven when this life is over, Ephesians 5:23. We should give glory and honor to Christ by wearing only the name Christian, which the Lord Himself gave for us to wear. ~ by Ron Boatwright a.m. coffee and fellowship; 10:45 a.m. worship service.

Readers react to food brought back Dear Readers: Heloise Central asked for your experiences with RETURNING MEAT AND PRODUCE to the grocery store. Here’s a sampling of what you said: “I bought two roasts from a large superstore.

They didn’t smell quite right, even though they weren’t expired. I called the store, and they said to return them, but I would need to bring them in. They refunded my money but didn’t even look at the meat.” – Sherri in Little Rock, Ark. “I bought a 5-pound box of ground beef. On my way home, I was in a car accident.

Even in these circumstances, the mega-retailer replaced the meat. Wow! It wasn’t even their fault!” – Harriet in Tyler, Texas (HELOISE HERE: I hope you continue to shop at that store, and tell your friends.)

“I read the article in the Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader about whether you should take food back to the store. The problem is, there are too many people who want to take advantage of this. They bring in food that has been tampered with and expect the store to give them full credit.” – Ken L., via email “My husband was a meat cutter for a chain store

Hints from Heloise for many years. He always maintained that if a person bought meat and found fault with it, he or she should return it with the sales receipt, even if it had been partially eaten.

“He has told the most incredible stories about people coming back for refunds – strange and funny. Usually, people who came back brought what was left of the product, and even if they didn’t, and just reported how unhappy they were, they were compensated either with product or with a refund. Sometimes they don’t prepare a piece of meat properly, but store managers want to be certain the customer is satisfied.

“Your column is so appreciated, and covers so many subjects!” – W.H.F., via email There are always people who try to take advantage of a situation, but most are honest. My hat’s off to the stores that listen to the customer and compensate. Every situation is different. – Heloise

PILLOWCASE TALK Dear Heloise: It’s not recommended to keep the plastic bags from the dry cleaners on clothes when stored.

The bags can cause moisture and ruin the clothes.

I cut a small hole in the top of old/used pillowcases, and I pull the cases down over the items. The cases keep off the dust while keeping everything dry. – Grace K. in San Antonio Grace, a good hint indeed. Please note that you also can cut off the plastic bag about 6 inches below the shoulder and use this as a dust cover. – Heloise FINDERS KEEPERS Dear Heloise: I have another hint for finding things.

When I finally find the thing I’m looking for, I put it back not where I just found it, but in the first place I looked for it – that’s clearly where I really thought it should be! – Carol, via email Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2016 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

BLONDIE®

by Dean Young

Horoscope For Friday, May 13, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a tricky day because you have great moneymaking ideas, but you should wait until tomorrow to act. Today’s overconfidence might trip you up.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are persuasive today.

Naturally, you can use this advantage to go after what you want.

However, what you want might be different by tomorrow!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You want to seek out answers today. You also have patience and motivation to find what you’re looking for. In fact, you feel like a sleuth!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Discussions with artistic, creative people will please you today. You might admire what they can do. (Don’t spend money on anything other than food or gas today.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a tricky day. The Moon is in your sign, but it’s a bit wobbly. This means that what you initiate might not fulfill your objective. Easy does it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a loosey-goosey day.

Nevertheless, you will love to kick around ideas about travel to distant lands or doing something “different.” Just dream; do not act today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Resist the urge to make important decisions about inheritances and shared property today, because this is a poor day to do so. Ironically, people are in agreement. Go figure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This is a lovely day to hang out with partners and close friends, and just schmooze.

Take a long lunch. Enjoy the company of others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Although it’s easy to get along with co-workers today, your efficiency might suffer because you don’t feel like working. Warning: Don’t initiate anything new.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a wonderful, creative day! People who work in the arts, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry will be full of clever, original ideas!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, because the Moon is opposite your sign.

Nevertheless, don’t agree to anything important. Just coast.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)Resist the urge to initiate or suggest new ideas at work today, because it’s a poor day to do this. However, you can research and get further information about what you hope to do.

YOU BORN TODAY You can get recognition when you least expect it, because you have the ability to influence others. Meanwhile, something you’ve been involved with for

about nine years will end now or diminish in order to make room for something new this year. Although this will be a year of service to others, it also is a great year to travel. Get ready for a fresh, new cycle waiting in your future!

Conformity and Control, The Story of Green Eggs and Jam

By Dominik McAnly

After watching Green Eggs and Jam, many people laugh at the silly video and take it for nothing more than meaningless entertainment, but in fact it has some deep meaning. Green Eggs and Jam by Jason Gastrow is a parody and perspective shift of the classic book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. In Green Eggs and Jam, Gastrow takes the original concept of Green Eggs and Ham and follows the idea that in actuality Sam is fairly pushy for trying to force his opinion onto others. This aspect is not touched on in the original book, and it brings up the important point that if someone’s opinion is contrary to another person’s it should be respected.

The video begins by showing the first few lines of the book and makes an important clarification that the two main characters of

the tale are Sam and Dunkey. This is important because in Green Eggs and Ham, the main characters are Sam and an un-named character.

This distinction shows two critical points, first that the events of Green Eggs and Jam most likely take place after the events of Green Eggs and Ham as opposed to being an alternate of the same story; Secondly it shows that Sam has an overly elevated value of self importance because the opposing character in the original version was not considered important enough to be given or referred to by a name. This is further illustrated in the next few seconds of Green Eggs and Jam in which he repeats “I am Sam.” “‘Sam I am.’ he concluded”, implying that his name carries great weight and the world

should know who he is. The extreme closeups and the uptilted angle with the wind blowing in Sam’s hair illustrate Sam’s self righteousness and the comical inflation of importance.

Starting the video out by glorifying Sam like that helps to convey how Sam sees himself, and in fact the first few seconds are built specifically to reveal the inner workings of Sam’s mind and his self centered nature.

The start to Gastrow’s video sets the scene to purpose that Green Eggs and Ham was written biasedly towards Sam’s self righteous perspective, and after the events of that book he seeks to set the record straight.

Most of the video is about the struggle between the two characters, much in the same way that Dr. Seuss’ version progressed.

The action begins with Sam attempting to indoctrinate Dunkey to accept the green eggs and ham. After Dunkey is completely transparent and tells Sam that he doesn’t like it nor him, Sam continues regardless. This is actually a much larger societal statement, and ties into the theme of conformity. Sam’s self righteous behavior and actions is a representation of how society acts when faced with contrary opinions, and this is backed up by a simple fact in the video. If you notice, Gastrow voices both the Protagonist Dunkey, and the Antagonist Sam. This is not done out of laziness, but indeed to make a point.

He voices both characters to show that Sam is within all of us, and thus society is also.

Many people choose to blame society for their issues and leave it at that in an attempt to avoid confrontation since society is more of an idea rather than a person or group of people.

Gastrow destroys this notion and places the responsibility and blame upon everyone with that simple stylistic choice.

The story progresses as Dunkey continues to tell Sam how he doesn’t like green eggs and ham and how he doesn’t like Sam. Up until this point, as Dunkey expresses his opposition to Sam and his opinion, Sam does nothing more than shrug it off and continue to coax him into conforming and allowing Dunkey to keep his opposition towards him. That all changes when Sam tells

Gratitude and Goodbye

This is the last Prowler edition I will oversee and my last year at Creston High School. My students asked me to write a farewell and I found myself struggling with what to say and how to capture my experiences and life here in these halls. I started out in Afton at East Union High School where I had the deep fortune to work with incredible veteran teachers who guided my naïve energy and shaped the teacher within me. I will forever be grateful to Karen Struble, Jean Sheridan, and Margy Gammell for all of their wisdom, support, and guidance. Their words still guide my work and meant everything to me. One major piece, “Sometimes you have to get through their stuff before they can get through yours.”

Ah…yes. All of the teachers, staff, students and all of their parents at East Union made my first teaching job an incredible experience and I am very proud to say it is where I started and indebted to the way they always supported me even when I left and started teaching here at CHS. My years at CHS have been colored by multiple experiences that span remarkable, moving experiences to frustrating and even deeply painful ones. And every memory is treasured for the joy they bring, the hope they offered, the connection that grew, and the lessons that come when it is challenging and hard.

It has been my pleasure and honor to work with professionals who made my time here fun, exciting, interesting, and always a place I wanted to be every day. Vanita Moberg mentored me as a student teacher, Todd Wolverton backed me at every turn and inspired me to have vision for education at all times, Bailey Fry-Schnormeier is my best and dear friend and I am in awe of her spirit and commitment in every aspect, Michele Thatcher and Mary Hilger co-taught with me and showed me how to make work accessible and still challenging for students who struggled, Todd Jacobson was hired with me and always made me laugh, Sue and Joanne are invaluable in every sense and always made me feel important and needed, Lesa Downing makes me believe change is possible even when it’s hard, Kelsey Bailey lights up my mind because she’s so intelligent and grounded, and there are so many more educators I worked with throughout my years here who made a difference in my life and that of our students.

Every one played a role and an important part of my development and time here. And like a fast moving Oscar speech, you know who you are and I am grateful to you even though you may remain unnamed. We know, you and I. Yet the center of all of my reward and joy is my students. The hundreds of amazing young people who it was my privilege and honor to know, to share space with, to support, and to share a mutual sense of learning. They always taught me so much and inspired me in so many ways. They came into my classroom and so often willing to open up and be authentic and real, to share pieces of who they were, and take on challenges

Dunkey that it’s not his choice and in fact any choice at all is an illusion, since in Sam’s mind Society is the only truth and is always right.

Any opposing opinion to society is thereby wrong and should be corrected according to Sam. Sam’s verbal violence towards Dunkey at this stage of the video represents the verbal and physical violence in society. The pile of food atop Dunkey figuratively poses an ultimatum, conform to society or be cast out of it and treated poorly.

In the final stretch of the video presents Dunkey beneath the food pile, and he reaches his arm out and tells him to “Suck my dick” and calls him a “sham”, Sam looks befuddled at this response and Dunkey shoots into the sky from beneath the pile of food. Dunkey’s rise from the food pile is a representation of rising above society, it’s shaming, and it’s ultimatum. The video is revealing that society only has the power that you give it, and it is Sam that has an illusion of control, not Dunkey who has an illusion of choice. Dunkey’s rapid ascent into the sky away from Sam portrays his refusal to allow society to control him. Dunkey’s flight and increased power of manipulation of the world relates to how he is free and in control of his own world after he releases himself from societal pressure and control. The closing words are “Now get the fuck out of my house” which is the true finality of not letting anyone control how he acts, and telling society that this is his domain and he is in fact the one in control.

To summarize, the main points Gastrow makes are about being in control of yourself and of the society we all exist within. His video states that society only has the power we give it and thus it is completely under our control and is our responsibility to do so correctly. Other points Gastrow makes are about understanding different points of view rather than trying to force a point of view upon someone. Self centeredness is a huge problem in today’s world and Gastrow does an excellent job in illustrating that through Sam’s self righteousness, and inability to accept that he isn’t always right. Truly a huge amount of depth within less than two minutes of video. In other words, it’s a mastapiece baby.

and high expectations even when they weren’t so sure they wanted to and in the end felt internal pride and accomplishment. They accepted me and understood that the core of it all was very simple to me: I deeply cared for them as a whole person, I wanted the best for them, I unconditionally loved them, and they mattered. They came into my classroom and joined with me without judgment, but with pride and regard. There are countless students and their families who gave me so much, names too numerous to name, but every one of whom I am equally grateful and so I say thank you to all of my students and former students and their families for everything you have done, thank you, a thousand times thank you.

As I move through my classroom to gather and clean up, I have read so many thank you notes, cards, letters, birthday cards and emails that touch my heart and I will carry them with me everywhere I go and find comfort in the fact that my sense of responsibility to your education and who you are landed just as it was supposed to and I had the chance, the great chance to do so. The words bring a sense of reward, but an even greater sense of humility. So thank you for taking the time, over these years, to reach out and share your words and thoughts with me.

As I move into a new community and start in a new school, I will carry all of these experiences, lessons, and memories with me, grateful for my time here at Creston High School and everyone who came into my life.

With deep regard and sincerity, thank you Creston.

The Numbers Game MA medalists

20 Strikeouts

by Max Scherzer Wednesday, tying MLB 9-inning record.

Warriors advance OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — The Splash Brothers are taking defending champion Golden State back to the Western Conference finals for a second straight year.

Klay Thompson’s sweet shooting touch carried the Warriors while Steph Curry was down, and together again in the starting lineup they guided Golden State another step closer to a repeat title with a 125-121 win over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

Thompson scored 33 points with six 3-pointers, while Curry added 29 and sealed it with a 3 with 24.9 seconds left.

He finished with five 3s a day after becoming the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, also adding 11 assists after returning to the starting lineup for the first time all series because of a knee injury.

Draymond Green, who had his left ankle re-taped in the fourth quarter, had 13 points, 11 rebounds and six assists after guaranteeing Golden State would advance from this game.

Damian Lillard scored 28 points and CJ McCollum had 27 for the Trail Blazers.

Record tied WASHINGTON (AP) — Max Scherzer has thrown two no-hitters, come within one strike of a perfect game and met just about every expectation that accompanied the $210 million contract he signed with Washington.

Still, after his latest masterpiece Wednesday night, he said: “There’s something about 20.”

Scherzer struck out 20 batters to match the major league record for a nine-inning game in the Nationals’ 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.

“Tonight was an emotional game, facing a former team and all those guys I have so much respect for,” Scherzer said after pitching against the Tigers for the first time since leaving Detroit.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions... and maybe a few actual answers

Is Gibbs Racing becoming the new top dog in NASCAR?

3 THINGS WE LEARNED FROM GOBOWLING.COM 400

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Let’s ask again, are we now in the Kyle Busch Era? GODSPEAK: If Martin Truex Jr. did not have to pit to fix a loose wheel, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

KEN’S CALL: I’m still hedging, but to be safe, I’m adding M&M’s to my nutritional pyramid.

1. Aero mystery The cars of Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski never touched, but the aerodynamic effect of three cars racing through a turn was enough to spin their cars off the track.

“The air just spins everybody out,” Keselowski said. “It’s hard to explain because you can’t see it.”

Do you like the new All-Star Race gimmick?

GODSPEAK: The All-Star Race needs help, stat! The cure?

Move it to different tracks.

KEN’S CALL: Yes, I’m for anything that promotes possible bedlam.

So, all hail Gibbs Racing?

For now, go ahead and jump on the Gibbs Steamer. But keep in mind, his four Cup titles are still seven fewer than Rick Hendrick’s. And with the modern Chase format, the best teams throughout the entire season are hardly guaranteed to get a real shot at the championship. Gotta be good and lucky at the right time in autumn.

2. Lap leader His luck is so bad, other competitors feel sorry for Martin Truex Jr. and his No. 78 Toyota race team. Truex led a race-topping 172 laps at Kansas and finished 14th.

“We’re going to win races for sure. If we keep bringing cars like that, we’re going to win some,” Truex said.

No big schedule changes for 2017. Surprised?

GODSPEAK: Kudos for releasing it this early; relief for drivers that Talladega 2 is not a make-or-break Chase race.

KEN’S CALL: Not really. None of the current issues are due to scheduling problems.

3. Kyle’s numbers Kyle Busch made his 17th Cup start at Kansas last weekend and scored his first victory there while becoming the fourth Joe Gibbs Racing driver to win at that track.

ONLINE EXTRAS news-journalonline. com/nascar

A positive sign for Stewart?

A 12th-place at Kansas used to end with Tony Stewart hurrying out of town frustrated. Now it’s called progress. Not sure whether we should be happy or sad for him.

Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota created a ripple of concern among drivers when his three-wide move near the end of the race at Kansas caused a multicar accident. There was no initial contact that sparked the incident, only airflow. AP/ORLIN WAGNER Busch now has eight wins in his past 32 Cup starts and became the first driver this season to win three races.

Questions? Contact Godwin Kelly at godwin.kelly@newsjrnl.com or Ken Willis at ken. willis@news-jrnl.com

It may be only a mile long, but Dover International Speedway and its concrete surface is a quick and dangerous race track. The turns at either end of this true oval are angled at 24 degrees, allowing drivers to keep momentum during the course of a lap. Last year’s pole speed for this race was over 160 mph. Tire wear is a constant concern and requires strict tire management by drivers. Are you scared yet?

2. Kenseth’s slump Matt Kenseth has broken free of his top-five slump thanks to fourth-place finish at Kansas. Kenseth has led 10 percent of laps run this season and seen several victory opportunities vanish before his eyes. It started in

the Daytona 500 when he was cruising to the checkered flag but got jumped by teammate Denny Hamlin on the last lap.

Kenseth finished 14th that day. “We seem to be getting closer,” Kenseth said of his team.

3. Stewart rising Tony Stewart, who will turn 45 on May 20, is making his way up the Cup points standings after his No. 14 Chevy

finished sixth at Talladega then 12th at Kansas. Stewart, who will retire at the end of this season, is just 59 points away from the top-30 cut line for Chase eligibility. He has 15 more races to win a race and get in the 16-driver playoff field. Stewart missed the first eight Cup races with a preseason back injury.

Hamlin

BRAD KESELOWSKI VS. DENNY HAMLIN: Hamlin went three-wide up the middle between Keselowski and Kyle Larson.

No contact, but Keselowski and Hamlin spun out.

DARK HORSE: Ryan Blaney DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Truex can hold off the bad luck at his home track and get that long-awaited victory.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Drivers were on their best behavior after all that contact at Talladega. This was a strange aero effect caused by Hamlin’s aggressive move. Keselowski got the worst of it.
