SHAW MEDIA GROUP SERVING SW IOWA SINCE 1879 BREAKING NEWS COVERAGE AT WWW.CRESTONNEWS.COM

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 2015

Iowa’s first West Nile virus case in Ringgold County DES MOINES — West Nile virus has sickened the first Iowan of the year and the case hits close to home.

Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced this morning that testing shows the first human case of West Nile virus was confirmed in Ringgold County. The case is an adult female (18 to 40 years of

age). She is recovering.

“This West Nile case should serve as notice that the virus is out there and Iowans should take precautions,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk.

West Nile virus is transmitted through mosquitoes.

The best way to prevent the virus is to eliminate mos-

quito breeding areas and to use insect repellent when outdoors. Iowans should take the following steps to reduce the risk of exposure to West Nile virus: Use insect repellent with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

Always read the repellent label and consult with a health care provider if you

have questions when using these types of products for children. For example, DEET should not be used on infants less than 2 months old and oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under 3 years old.

Greater Regional to get new decontamination system

By BAILEY POOLMAN

“When you think about it, there are a lot of nooks and crannies you can’t get into.”

When it comes to cleanliness, Greater Regional Medical Center staff understand how important it is to their clients. That’s why a decontamination system will be an added benefit to the Creston hospital.

This decontamination system, which includes a large unit and two smaller units, was approved by the Greater Regional Medical Center board members during their regularly scheduled meeting July 27, and will be in the hands of staff before the end of August.

“It’s a mobile r o o m decont a m i n a - Whitson tion system,” said Jackie Whitson, GRMC director of surgical services. “It uses ultraviolet rays, and those light rays kill microorganisms.”

Units The mobile units are another layer of protection at the hospital. The large unit is used to decontaminate open areas, while the smaller units are used to decontaminate small objects such as keyboards and cell phones.

“This just moves it to a different level. When we move that (the large unit) into a room, in an OR (operating) room or a patient room, t h a t would t a k e care of and kill anything e l s e t h a t ’ s Anthony lingering out there,” said Nancy Anthony with GRMC employee health and infection prevention. “It just gives us a little higher percentage of

The large unit of the decontamination system Greater Regional Medical Center staff will get by the end of August is shown in the image. It will decontaminate rooms with a 99 percent destroy rate. There are two smaller units for small objects like cell phones, and those will be set at the inpatient nurse’s station and surgery department.

cleanliness.”

The large unit will be used at the end of each day and patient visit. It will be put in a room on the left side of the bed, turned on and let run for a five-minute procedure while the employees are outside the room. Then, the unit will be moved to the right side of the bed and run again for five minutes.

“It’s very simple to use, and it just adds another layer of protection for our patients,” Whitson said. “It won’t replace any of our

current practices. It’ll just be additional.”

The two smaller units run on 30-second cycle, and small, high-touch objects like stethoscopes, car keys, computer keyboards and phones can be run through to kill any organisms. The units will be located at the inpatient nurse’s station and in the surgery department.

“We have more chances of ruining our equipment with liquid cleaners, so this is actually a better situation for us,” Anthony said.

The three units, which prevent the spread of infectious microorganisms, cost a total of $40,500, and are Spectra254 brand. That is compared to the cost of C. difficile, an antibiotic-resistant toxin, which is the reason for 14,000 deaths, 250,000 infections and $1 billion in excess medical costs each year.

“My job in infection prevention means you’re preventing infections. We don’t want to wait until we get an infection and then do something about it,” Anthony said. “We want to do as much as we can to keep ahead of preventing any infections in here.”

The units work by using ultraviolet light rays. UV rays are electromagnetic radiation, and can be found in sunlight and tanning beds.

The rays are set at a specific wavelength, and damage a germ’s DNA so it is unable to reproduce, and therefore unable to spread. The units destroy 99 percent of germs on surfaces.

This kind of light can cause severe burns on a person, but the units are rigged with a safety net, so if a person disturbs the cycle, they turn off.

Whitson and Anthony are both hopeful the units will be used and liked enough that getting another unit in the future is a possibility.

“This will be another piece of ammunition to take care of those germs,” Whitson said. “If you were to come in to be a patient, we want you to go into that room thinking this thing is clean, and they can feel comfortable with their family in there.”

Many larger hospitals are moving toward the use of these UV machines, but some smaller hospitals, such as Spencer Hospital in northwest Iowa, have been looking into getting them.

update

Trial set for Bedford man charged with murder BEDFORD — Trial dates are set for Charles Hall and April Clair, both of Bedford, following the death of three-year-old Janiya King.

Hall, 25, and Clair, 25, were both originally charged with child endangerment May 22, and Hall was additionally charged with first-degree Hall murder.

Hall’s pretrial conference is scheduled for Dec. 8, and his trial is set for Jan. 25. Clair’s pretrial conference is scheduled for Sept. 8, and her trial is set for Oct. 7.

The charges against Hall and Clair stem from an investigation by Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) when, according to an Clair Iowa DCI report, Taylor County sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call for a child not breathing May 22 at 806 Washington St. in Bedford. When deputies arrived, they located a three-year-old female child, Janiya, unresponsive.

Janiya was pronounced deceased by the Taylor County medical examiner.

Ver Meer now finalist for Pleasant Hill chief position

By KYLE WILSON

CNA managing editor kwilson@crestonnews.com

Paul Ver Meer is a finalist again.

Ver Meer — who has been police chief in Creston since 2008 — is one of five finalists for the open Pleasant Hill police chief position.

The other four are Kim Wadding with Iowa Law Enforcement Academy, Al Pizzano (retired New York Police Department), Lawrence McNaul (retired West Liberty chief) and Hiawatha Police Chief Dennis Marks.

Ver Meer and the other finalists attended a community meet and greet event Wednesday evening in Pleasant Hill, located about 6 miles east of Des Moines. Don Sandor, city manager in Pleasant Hill, said about 30 to 35 citizens attended the informal event.

Ver Meer “I think what landed (Paul) in the top five was: he has experience as a chief in a community that has comparable size to Pleasant Hill (pop. 9,082),” Sandor said. “And, from all reports he’s done a good job there getting the department through some of the past issues it’s had.”

Sandor said the Pleasant Hill City Council will meet in closed session Tuesday evening and is expected to name the city’s new chief that night.

This is at least the third police chief position Ver Meer

F u n e r - Barton al services will be 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, at Pearson Family Funeral Service, 701 7th St., Corning. The Rev. Ken Rummer will officiate. Visitation with family present will be 1 to 2 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home. Burial will be at Walnut Grove Cemetery, Corning. Military honors will be provided by Corning American Legion Post #117 and the United States Navy.

Charles Wayne Barton, son of Marion Charles and Nellie Marie (Walton) Barton, was born Oct. 1, 1926, in Corning. Wayne attended Corning High School through his sophomore year. He would later obtain his GED during the 1970s.

Wayne served in the United States Navy during WWII, from February 1945 until his honorable discharge in 1946.

On June 15, 1945, he married Olive Lou Howe in Centerville, prior to being deployed overseas. He spent most of his time in the service operating heavy equip-

ment.

Wayne worked for several contractors around the state, operating heavy construction equipment. Wayne and Olive moved to Chariton in 1954. They would later move to Taylor County in 1977 and settle in Corning in 1978.

Wayne belonged to the American Legion OURCQ #117 and the International Operating Engineers Union.

He was a former member of the First Baptist Church in Chariton and Corning, and a former member of the Order of Knights of Pythias.

Wayne is survived by his wife, Olive of Red Oak; children, Lynda (Roger) King of Red Oak, Raymond (Sonya) Barton of Corning, and Candice (Wes) Lamb of Adel; grandchildren, Lonny (Michael) Brannen of Council Bluffs, Kelly (Terry) Snyder of Red Oak, Jonathan (Gentri) Barton of Neveda, Amanda Barton of Las Vegas, Nev., Callie Lamb of Adel, Michaela Lamb of Adel, Ashely (Brian) Parrish of Polk City, and Whittney Lamb of Bedford; great-grandchildren, Keagan King, Nolan and Sophie Snyder, Cael, Nora, Eden, and Jude Barton, Jace Lamb, and Laney Parrish; brothers, Jim (Bonnie) Barton of Carl and Jerry Barton of Corning; sister, Dorthea (Pete) Riley of Corning; and many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents; infant sister Carol Rose Barton; brother Walt Barton; and sisters, Peggy Chitty and Francis Montegna.

WEST NILE: Continued from Page 1

Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes, and socks whenever possible outdoors.

Eliminate standing water around the home because that’s where mosquitoes lay eggs. Empty water from buckets, cans, pool covers and pet water dishes. Change water in bird baths every three to four days.

Quinlisk notes that using an insect repellant containing DEET provides protection against both mosquitoes, which can carry West Nile virus and ticks, which can carry Lyme disease. So far this year, there have been 111 cases of Lyme disease in Iowa.

Approximately 20 per-

cent of people infected with West Nile virus will have mild to moderate symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and vomiting. Less than one percent of people infected become seriously ill and rarely someone dies.

Since West Nile first appeared in Iowa in 2002, it has been found in every county in Iowa, either in humans, horses, or birds.

In 2014, there were 15 human cases of West Nile virus and zero deaths.

Iowa Renewable Fuels Association’s (IRFA) made the following comments that were submitted to the EPA regarding the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) proposal: The impact of the RFS on farm income and the health of the rural economy is very clear.

An old and all-too-accurate joke in farm country is: ‘if you give a farmer a market, he’ll overproduce it.’ The hard work and productivity of the American farmer is much more than a cliche to be bandied about every four years during the Iowa caucuses. It is a statistical fact. Even with a growing world population and increasing middle classes demanding higher amounts of grain-intensive meat in their diets, the American farmer continues to overproduce the market. As a result, according to USDA figures, from 1981 through 2005, the average price a farmer received for a bushel of corn was below the average cost to

produce that bushel in 22 of those 25 years. The result was depressed farm income, high costs borne by taxpayers for Farm Bill programs, and rural economic doldrums.

However, with the implementation of the RFS, the American farm economy went on an amazing eight-year run of prosperity – what some observers have called the best eight contiguous years in the history of American agriculture. From 2006 to 2014, the average price of a bushel of corn was higher than the average cost to produce it. The growing demand for ethanol had provided the sponge nec-

said Janiya knocked a pot of boiling water off the stove onto herself, and he did not seek medical attention. Clair, Hall’s live-in girlfriend, said she was told by her boyfriend he had moved the pot of boiling hot dog water from the stove to the kitchen table and while it was on the table, Janiya walked by and knocked it onto herself. Clair said she did not feel she needed to seek medical attention.

Also, according to a Taylor County Sheriff report, Clair said within four days prior to the charges, Janiya had fallen down the staircase, from the second to first floor of the residence, at least three times. Clair said after the first incident Janiya walked away limping and seemed to become weaker and weaker. After the third incidence of falling, Clair said she did not tend to Janiya and just walked away from her. Hall

said within a week prior to the charges Janiya had felt ill and weak. Medical attention was again not sought after any of the falls, according to the report.

Also in the report, a closer examination of the injuries found on Janiya’s body noted the burns to be other than first-degree.

The burns likely necessitated medical treatment and

essary to soak up the excess supplies of corn. As a result, we saw a strong rural economy help power many states through “The Great Recession,” while farm income and production across the globe set new highs.

The IRFA also discussed several important renewable fuels topics, including: the need for strong growth in biodiesel, Iowa retailers prove there is no “blend wall,” removing the E15 vapor pressure barrier, and lower gas prices.

The IRFA concluded that the bottom line remains clear: there is no legal, marketplace, or consumer rationale for

reducing the conventional biofuels level below the RFS statutory requirements. The EPA must enforce the RFS as Congress wrote the law.

Let the Research Information Network (RIN) marketplace do its job in lowering fuel prices and incenting additional renewable distribution capacity.

The members of IRFA recommend that the EPA discard the “general” waiver authority and maintain the levels for undifferentiated renewable fuel at the levels prescribed by Congress for 2014, 2015, and 2016 (14.4, 15.0, and 15.0 billion gallons respectively). Further, by properly accounting for U.S. biodiesel production and consumption capacities along with the high likelihood for significant biodiesel imports, IRFA urges the agency to set the biomass-based diesel levels for 2016 and 2017 at no less than 2.0 and 2.3 billion gallons respectively.

One stop equals one bag Dear Heloise: When traveling that requires an overnight stop along the way, I always pack a SMALL TRAVEL BAG. The bag is enough for the stop so we don’t need to unload everything. — Julie H., Hillsboro, N.H. Hi, Julie! This can save on schlepping bags back and forth, especially if there are a few people. However, when stopping at a motel or parking somewhere you can’t see your car, don’t leave anything of value in it. Crooks know to break in and see what’s available. — Heloise SAFETY CHECK BEFORE YOU GO Dear Readers: Speaking of a road travel hint, here are a few quick reminders if you are going to take a trip.

Just like an airplane pilot checks the plane, you should check and do a walk around your vehicle. Or ask a trusted friend or mechanic to do a once-over.

A. All fluids should be checked — transmission fluid, oil, wiper fluid, etc.

B. Belts and hoses need a look-see! Don’t want one to break on the road.

C. Carry paperwork, such as auto insurance, warranty

simple solutions. First, try to leave the doors open as much as possible for air circulation.

Next, get a big box or bag of baking soda and a nice-smelling spice, such as cinnamon or allspice. Mix the baking soda and 3-4 tablespoons of the spice together. Then put in plastic takeout food containers that have a lid and poke lots of holes in the lid.

Place one on the floor and one on the shelf. Shake them up every so often. What other hints can baking soda be used for around the house? To find out, get my pamphlet.

for tires and info for roadside assistance.

D. Do check the tires and the spare. Look for wear — sort of smooth or bald-looking rubber or worn-down tread. Use the right air-pressure setting. Have a can of spray that will repair a flat (some new cars DON’T have spares!). Tires keep you safe on the road, so don’t skimp in this area.

E. Everyone needs good wiper blades! Replace old, worn-out ones. You need to see out the windshield!

Take care of your auto, and it will take care of you. Travel safe! — Heloise STALE SMELL BEGONE Dear Heloise: Some of the closets in the extra bedrooms don’t get used very often. We keep the doors closed but when a guest comes, the closet just sort of smells funky.

Horoscope Saturday, Aug. 8, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today Fiery Mars moves into Leo for the next seven weeks.

This means your energy will be pumped, focused and enduring. This is your chance to go, go, go!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In the next two months, you will have increased chaos and activity at home due to renovations, relocations or family camped out on your sofa. Patience will be your best friend.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The pace of your days will accelerate in the next two months! You will also be more forceful and direct in all your communication. This is great for sales, writing and teaching.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You will work hard to boost your earnings in the next two months. But truth be told, you will work hard to spend money as well! Oops.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s been two years since fiery Mars was in your sign. Today it returns to stay until mid-September.

This amps your energy and gives you drive and aggression.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Some kind of activity will keep you busy behind the scenes in the next few months. Perhaps it’s secret or just private. Only you know.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your involvement with groups will become intense in the next two months. Physical competition in sports and athletics are most likely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your ambition will be aroused in the next two months, more than you have felt in a few years. Be careful that you don’t threaten your boss. And don’t burn any bridges.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) As Mars shifts signs today, it will stimulate your desire for travel. You will be more aggressive in exploring opportunities in publishing, the media, the law, medicine and education.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will defend your best interests with inheritances, insurance matters and shared property in the next two months. You know what you want, and you won’t back down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Things have been lovely with partners and close friends for some time now. Be careful during the next two months, because you might be annoyed with someone.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re moving into action mode now when it comes to improving your job and getting things done. Ideas and plans will start to become bricks and mortar.

YOU BORN TODAY You are multitalented and versatile.

You can do practically anything. Whatever you do, you throw yourself fully into it in a responsible, serious way. You want professional recognition for your talent. Settle your debts this year to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. To clear away indebtedness is the thrust of this year. Consolidate your affairs for future growth.

HEALTH

Good vision helps children excel in school (Family Features) With children heading back to school soon, parents’ to-do lists keep getting longer shopping for clothes, shoes and supplies, going to the doctor for yearly physicals or checkups, and making appointments at the dentist, among other things. What is easily forgotten or put off is a yearly eye exam.

According to a survey conducted by KRC Research on behalf of Think About Your Eyes, about 60 percent of parents do not consider eye exams as a necessary part of children’s health checkup schedule.

However, skipping these exams means children run the risk of being unprepared for school with an undiagnosed vision problem or eye disease.

While a cough or hurt ankle might trigger you to take your child to the doctor without hesitation, eye problems are difficult to notice without proactive measures. In fact, 84 percent of parents in the same survey admitted they wait for a child to complain of a vision issue before taking them in for an eye exam.

by sunlight, whiteboards, fluorescent lights, computer screens and video games. * Skin isn’t the only part of the body that needs protection from the sun’s harsh UV rays. Choose lenses that shield the eye from UV exposure, in addition to taking other preventative measures against sun exposure.

Children, however, especially those who have had vision problems for an extended amount of time, aren’t always able to recognize the problem themselves.

Although some schools perform yearly vision screenings, it is important for parents to know that these tests only gauge a child’s ability to see at a distance. A full vision

screening from an eye care professional is needed to evaluate how well a child’s eyes function and how well they focus on items closer to the face. With increased up-close reading, such as that required when using a computer, this information is becoming more critical.

The American Optometric Association estimates that as much as 80 percent of what children

learn - reading, writing, computer work and day-today observation - happens through sight, so it’s more important now than ever to have children tested by an optometrist. According to the American Optometric Association, by age six (before they start school), children should receive at least three eye exams.

If you find that your child does need glasses,

the experts at Essilor offer these tips for selecting the right eyeglass lenses: * Bright reflections and glare can cause irritation, eye strain, discomfort and damage to your child’s eyes.

In addition to the right prescription, it is important to purchase lenses that protect against these visual distractions. Lenses such as Crizal Kids UV lenses offer protection from glare caused

* Just like anything else you buy for your child, glasses need to stand up to the test of time. Sturdy frames are important, but the lenses inside your child’s frames are vulnerable and need protection as well.

Lenses that are scratch and impact resistant will help ensure a clear line of sight.

Some lenses for children, such as Crizal Kids UV No-Glare lenses, also help repel water and smudges, making it easier to weather everyday wear and tear.

With the variety of options available, you can easily find the right lenses for your child’s vision needs. Visit www.Crizal. com to find an eye care professional and give your child a boost in the classroom this school year.

The female athlete triad: are you (or your daughter) at risk?

In the movie “Rush Hour 3,” Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker race, and stumble, across Paris trying to protect a French woman from the menace of a criminal organization called The Triad. But the danger they fear from The Triad is nothing compared to the dangers of what the Journal of the American College of Orthopedic Surgeons identifies as the Female Athlete Triad.

Symptoms include low energy availability or too few calories, menstrual cycle abnormalities (40 percent of female athletes have irregular periods), and low bone mineral density, setting up young female athletes for bone loss, stress injuries and fractures.

If you have one symptom, the likelihood that you’ll sustain a bone injury rises 15 to 21 percent; two symptoms boost it to 21 to 30 percent; and with all three it’s a whopping 29 to 50 percent.

Girls and women participating in athletics that demand intense weight control, such as gymnastics and ice skating, are particularly vulnerable.

But it’s possible to be a world-class athlete without risking low energy or brittle bones. Serena Williams trained her way to her sixth Wimbledon championship while maintaining a killer bod! Here’s what to do: —Eat sufficient calories so your body fat never falls below 12 percent.

—Get fuel from bone-building foods rich in calcium, magnesium and vitamin D: green, leafy veggies, D-enriched wholegrain cereal, low-fat dairy, almonds, salmon and tuna.

—Have your vitamin D level checked, and ask about taking a vitamin D-3 sup-

plement to help your body absorb calcium. Take half a multivitamin in the morning and at night.

Now go play hard — try 40 jumps a day to build hip bone strength.

IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE BLOWING YOUR MIND? From Japan (Sakurajima) to Italy (Stromboli), 41 volcanoes are currently relieving their high magma pressure, spewing ash that makes the countryside unrecognizable. In much the same way, if you have chronic high blood pressure, it fogs your brain, making it hard for you to see clearly what’s going on!

Two new studies reveal that if your blood pressure is over 140/90, you’re at a substantially increased risk for cognition problems — even if you’re taking antihypertensive medications.

Around 6 percent of the general population reports difficulty thinking clearly, but it’s 8 percent for folks with HBP. In addition, 25 percent of people with HBP report physical and nonphysical functional problems, such as difficulty with mobility and memory, as opposed to 15 percent of folks without HBP. Three ways to take pressure off 1. Check your BP annually; if elevated, discuss anti-hypertension meds with your doctor. An elevated BP is very treatable. We have over 10 different classes of drugs. If you’re given a prescription, fill it and take

the meds as directed. Twothirds of people don’t!

2. Lose weight if you’re overweight. In a Cochrane Review, researchers identified several year-long studies in which people losing around 9 pounds lowered their systolic pressure (the top number) by 4.5 and diastolic (the bottom number) by 3. Even small reductions help protect your cardiovascular system.

3. To lose weight and keep it off, banish all trans and most saturated fats, processed grains and all red and processed meats.

4. Deflate stress with exercise (10,000 steps a day, no excuses!) and meditation.

ARE YOU A CAPTIVE BLACK RHINO? You might already know that the black rhinoceros is being illegally hunted to near extinction. (A single horn can sell for over $250,000 on the black market.) What you might not know is that in trying to preserve the species, many zoos around the world are attempting to breed them — but it’s not working. Rhinos don’t thrive with reduced exercise and the diet they get from zoo life.

A recent study by Ohio State University noted that over a 70-year period, rhinos born in captivity (they’d never seen the Serengeti) developed inflammation and insulin resistance, precursors to diabetes and heart disease, and 73 percent of them died before they could reproduce.

Modern humans who live

in confined spaces (the average American spends 89 percent of his or her time indoors) and eat an unnatural diet (most folks eat fast food three times a week, each meal delivering 1,200 calories — or over 190,000 calories annually) are falling victim to those same conditions. And fertility is declining rapidly too. The number of U.S. births per 1,000 women ages 15-44 fell to 62.5 in 2013, the lowest level ever recorded!

You don’t want to be a captive black rhino! Chances are, you haven’t broken out of the cage of unhealthy habits that are putting you at risk. To stop being victimized by unhealthy habits, make sure you exercise regularly (get 10,000 steps a day); eat fresh, non-processed foods; and get outdoors where your body and spirit can thrive. Now, if we can figure out how to help the black rhino, too!

BEWARE OF PLASTIC CHEMICAL REPLACEMENTS In “The Replacements,” the 2000 romantic football comedy that spoofs the real 1987 NFL strike, Keanu Reeves crosses the picket line, saves the day and finds true love. But in real life, replacements might not lead to such happy endings.

True, when it became clear that the DEHP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) used in making plastic wrap, soap, cosmetics and processed food containers was a dangerous hormone disruptor that could wreak havoc on your and your child’s health and development, U.S. industry phased it out.

(It’s been banned in Europe since 2004.)

But now researchers at New York University have

bad news for us: The allegedly safer replacements DINP (diisononyl phthalate) and DIDP (diisodecyl phthalate) also are phthalates, and they duplicate DEHP’s adverse health effects on both children and adults.

(This reminds us of those new BPA-free products that are now made with BPA’s close cousin BPS, also a hormone disrupter.)

How can you keep your child’s (and your) good health from being fumbled away by these phthalates?

The researchers say you can significantly reduce body levels of these disruptive chemicals if you use wax paper, glass containers and aluminum wrap in place of plastics for food and drink.

Skip canned foods; opt for fresh — not in plastic. If you do use plastic, wash food containers by hand; dishwasher soaps can make plastics more likely to leach their chemicals into your food. And never use plastics marked with 3, 6 or 7 in the recycle triangle for food or personal grooming products.

HOW TO STAY HEALTHY AND LIVELY In “The Age of Adeline,” Blake Lively’s character becomes 29 years old forever. A review of the film in Variety called the tale of perpetual youthfulness little more than a “sensitively directed slab of romantic hokum.” Fortunately, scientific minds have looked at the difference between chronological age and the age your body really is — we’ve been telling you about that since our RealAge test debuted online in 1998 — and today there’s more solid evidence that you can change your calendar age for good or for bad. Genes account for

about 20 percent of aging; the rest depends on your health behaviors and your environment.

Recently, a team of researchers decided to look at 1,000 folks ages 26, 32 and 38 to assess their pace of aging. Scientists measured immune and metabolic functions; the health of tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye (a window to the brain); cardiorespiratory fitness; and the length of their telomeres — protective caps at the end of chromosomes that reflect a person’s RealAge. They found that though some folks were younger and many were spot on, some 38-year-old study participants had the body and brain of a 60-year-old!

The researchers concluded that disabilities associated with older age (memory and mobility problems, heart disease, etc.) start developing in your 20s and 30s!

So, starting in your 20s, get your cholesterol and blood pressure checked regularly; eat five to nine servings of produce daily along with 100 percent whole grains and lean proteins; and stay active (10,000 steps or equivalent daily, where one minute of aerobics equals 100 steps). You can discover your RealAge at www.sharecare.com. *** 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.

Local teen ends 8-year quest for a deer on ‘Raised Hunting’ show Want to feel goosebumps?

Maybe a lump in your throat?

Go to the Creston High School auditorium at 7 p.m. Aug. 26, the first day of school here.

That evening, producers of the Outdoor Channel’s television program, “Raised Hunting,” will show a special preview screening of the episode titled, “The Plan.”

The show will air on the Outdoor Channel at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 29; at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 31; and 8:30 a.m.

Friday, Sept. 4.

The special preview showing at CHS is free of charge.

The episode tracks the quest of 2015 CHS graduate Tanner Webb, afflicted with Cerebral Palsy, to shoot his first deer with members of the “Raised Hunting” cast. It was taped last fall on the property of David and Karin Holder of rural Macksburg, di-

rectors of the hunting-oriented program.

Webb had been on the program a year earlier, but was unsuccessful in killing a deer. He had a shot at one, but missed.

This time, through the efforts of many in providing a better opportunity, Webb was successful.

And, since the time the show was taped and presented on the air this month, Tanner lost his mother, Amy, who died March 30 at the age of 43. Tanner and his father, Kevin Webb, said one of the most moving parts of this “Raised Hunting” episode is the tribute to their mother and wife

as the show closes.

“There’s a memorial to Amy at the end,” Kevin said. “The people who hunted with Tanner thought it would be a nice gesture to offer a viewing for the community before it airs.”

Webb, who successfully passed his coaching certification since last football season, has graduated from team manager to volunteer assistant coach working with the Panther linebackers and running backs. He is still accompanied by student aide Steve Wilson, who is also shown on camera in the episode with Webb, waiting for a deer in the blind.

In the show, Holder narrates the efforts that were made to make this a successful hunt for Tanner. “The Plan” started with establishing new food plots in an area where a larger blind could be constructed to accommodate Tanner in his wheelchair, the film crew and another hunter helping him with a second aiming scope — IC2 — plus a second “arm” built to hold and stabilize the crossbow.

Tanner still had to aim his crossbow and decide when to release the arrow, however. It was his shot. He successfully shot a doe during last fall’s hunting season, ending his eight-year pursuit of a deer.

“The second scope allowed one of us to see exactly what he was aiming at,” David Holder said. Joining him and Karin in the show are their sons, Warren and Easton.

A foundation, “Building Brighter Dreams,” teamed with the Holder family in the original show taped in 2013. Its mission is to promote and enhance spiritual, physical and mental well-being of youth and adolescents with special needs, and their families through shared outdoor

experiences.

Because the Holders did a hunting show in the proximity of Creston, the foundation sought “Raised Hunting” as Tanner’s experience.

The second time around, Holder said, was done purely out of friendship.

“I just kept thinking, what can we we do make sure this kid gets his deer?” Holder said. “That’s how we started what we called ‘The Plan.’ Through a lot of efforts of a lot of people who felt so strongly about Tanner and his wonderful family, we got it done.

The guys from Whitetail Challenge were wonderful. It ended up being way more than a hunting show. We wanted to share that experience with the community, that’s why we’re offering it at the high school. From what we can tell, Tanner has quite a following! I’ll tell you this for sure — in our family, he has changed our lives.”

Holder left several seconds

at the end for some previously-taped segments of Amy Webb speaking about Tanner and his hunting quest, as well as some candid interactions between the two in their home. It closes with a photograph of Tanner with his mother.

“We had some video from the show we did before,” Holder said. “So the last minute or so is Amy talking about Tanner, and we had some other video. Then we post her picture at the end.

“I invite everyone to see this, at no charge. It’s our way of saying thanks to Tanner,” he added.

“Our experience with Tanner and his family was so rewarding. It was like shooting my first deer! Everyone there could recognize the power of what was happening.”
