YMCA offers new, creative workouts for health seekers

By JAKE WADDINGHAM CNA staff reporter

jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

Southern Prairie YMCA’s new fitness class is helping individuals with hectic schedules find time to workout.

Fit in 30 is a new workout class during the lunch hour — 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. — for anyone wanting to gain fitness, but having trouble getting to the gym in the morning or evening.

“We are trying to get more engagement for folks who are struggling to achieve their well being,” said Southern Prairie’s fitness coordinator Lynn Irr. The new class format is

part of a national effort by the YMCA called Activate America. Irr said the class was a creative effort to meet the needs of residents in the Creston community who want to get in better shape, but are constantly crunched Irr for time.

ACE certified personal trainer Dana Phelps leads the class on Mondays and Wednesdays. The groups starts with an active warm up known as dynamic exercise. The core of the workout mixes kickboxing, body weight movements, weight

training and several other workout techniques. The class ends with light stretching.

“It is a mix of everything and it is intense, but it can be modified for individuals at all levels,” Phelps said.

“We have a wide range in the class ... SWCC students, seniors and people on their lunch break.”

Phelps said a workout around the lunch hour also combats boredom and temptations to snack during the afternoon.

Senior workouts Another new program — senior functional walking — is geared toward senior citizens to help them stay functional and independent. It meets Tuesdays and

Thursdays from 10:15 to 11 a.m.

“We found it was a time a large majority of our senior members were available,” Irr said.

Phelps directs that class, as well. She said the class uses a majority of the gym walking and shuffling back and forth to build muscle strength. Advanced and capable members can add weights or resistance bands to increase the difficulty.

“Newcomers don’t need to feel stressed about trying to keep up with everyone else,” Phelps said. “The class is easily adjusted for different fitness levels.

Irr said Activate America encourages classes to be inviting to new members by

adjusting the difficulty of the workout for beginners through experts.

The YMCA has redesigned several of its other programs by adding levels — one, two and three — so the instructor of the program knows the experience of each participant.

Health seekers “A health seeker is defined (by the YMCA) as people in the community who are struggling to obtain well-being,” Irr said. “For some people, it is hard to step into the Y. Sometimes they don’t know how to use the equipment or feel they won’t be able to keep up in a class.”

That’s why Irr and Rose Wignall developed a class

IOWA’S

AMES — Crestonians got the celebration started Monday night on the first stop of WHO13’s RVTV final tour for the Iowa and Iowa State rivalry series.

Fans will join Keith Murphy and Andy Fales during their final stop of the RVTV tour in Ames for pregame tailgating.

Kickoff is slated for 5:05 p.m. at Jack Trice Stadium and will be telecast on Fox Sports 1.

This will be Iowa’s first road game of the 2013 season. Sophomore quarterback Jake Rudock is expected to get the start for the Hawkeyes.

The Hawkeyes got off to a rough start of the 2013 campaign, falling to Northern Illinois 3027. They rebounded last weekend, defeating Missouri State and will carry an overall record of 1-1 into Ames.

Iowa State fell in their first game of the season to the University of Northern Iowa Panthers. The Cyclones had an off weekend to prepare for the Hawkeyes.

that meets every Monday in a small group or individual setting. Wignall has experience as a counselor and personal trainer for the YMCA. The cost is $20 for members or $30 for community participants.

Each week, Wignall meets with the individuals or groups to create a social support group to help reenforce healthy living.

“It really is a pathway to a healthier you,” Irr said.

The YMCA also extended its yoga class. The traditional yoga class still meets Mondays and Wednesdays. The new class, on Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:15 to 5 p.m., is a variety of power yoga.

A Creston man who was wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation made an initial appearance in court Thursday a representative from the U.S. Attorney’s office told the Creston News Advertiser today.

Creston, Iowa and Iowa State fans gather at the RVTV tailgate Monday.

CyHawk rivalry series The Hawkeyes lead the series with a 39-21 record over the Iowa State Cyclones. Over the last decade, the series has been much closer, but the Hawkeyes still hold a 6-4 advantage.

Voter turnout

About 12 percent of eligible voters turned out for the whole school election, including Creston and East Union School districts, Sept. 10. Sandy Hysell, Union County auditor, said the turnout is down a little from the previous school board election of 14 percent, but considerably higher than previous elections that were typically 10 percent or less.

Turnout is lower in local

elections compared to state and national elections.

Balloon Days parking

There will be no parking on South Cherry Street during the Balloon Days weekend in Creston. Signs will go up Friday, Sept.

20 and removed Monday, Sept. 23. The temporary parking ordinance happens every year to allow emergency vehicles easier access and for general safety of pedestrians.

Drought update: rain chances increase in weekend forecast Dry conditions continue across Iowa as a wet spring quickly faded into a “flash drought.” More than 41 percent of the state is in severe drought conditions. Union County is split by severe and moderate drought conditions.

State Climatologist Harry Hillaker said the past two years Iowa has experienced drought conditions, but the two dry spells had a lot of differences.

Temperature, subsoil moisture levels and in-

consistency of rain all played factors into the drought.

The National Weather Service forecast shows southwest Iowa getting a break from the recent heat with temperatures dropping into the low 70s over the weekend. This weekend will also be the best chance for rain for the area — a 60 percent chance of percepitation Saturday night into Sunday.

Rain chances continue through Tuesday.

Deaths

Geraldine Emerson Corning

Geraldine Emerson, 92, of Corning died Sept.

11, 2013, at Corning and Nursing Rehab Center.

Funeral s e r v i c e s Emerson will be 11:30 a.m. Monday, Sept.

16, at the First Presbyterian Church in Corning. The Rev. Ken Rummer and the Rev. Tim Maxa will officiate. Interment will be in Clearfield Cemetery. Open visitation will be 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday with family present 4 to 6 p.m. at Pearson Family Funeral Service, 701 Seventh St., Corning. Memorials may be directed to the family in Geraldine’s name to be determined. Online condolences may be left at www. pearsonfuneralshomes.com.

Geraldine Jenn Emerson, daughter of Margaret Irene (Madole) and Bard Weaver Goodale, was born June 9, 1921, in Diagonal.

Geraldine attended Diagonal High School and graduated in 1939.

On Nov. 21, 1941, Geraldine married Jacob Ross “Hap” Emerson.

Geraldine worked for Lauvstad Drug Store for a few years prior to her 20

year employment at Turners Department Store, where she was a clerk in the dry goods department. Geraldine retired from Turners in 1984.

Later, Geraldine worked part time at Ken’s Drive-In. She also volunteered for the ISU Extension office, where she contributed to the “Time Out” newsletter.

Geraldine was a longtime member of Business and Professional Woman and was named “Woman of the Year” in 1980. Geraldine was also a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Corning.

Geraldine is survived by her sons, Jerry Emerson (special friend Diana Miller) of West Des Moines and Garry (Haruedee) Emerson of Aurora, Colo.; grandchildren, Elizabeth Emerson, Evelyn (Rob) Morgan, Alex (Maggie) Emerson, David Emerson and Michael Emerson; great-grandchildren, Myla, Syvannah and Alona Emerson; former daughterin-law Amphora Emerson of Omaha, Neb.; friends, Dick and Debbie Blazek of Corning; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Geraldine was preceded in death by her parents; husband Jan. 9, 2002; brothers, George and Charles Goodale; sisters, Violet Nevill, Vera Morey, Margaret LePera; and an infant granddaughter.

LONDON (MCT) — U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry and his Russian counterpart said Friday that they would try by the end of the month to set a date for another international peace conference on Syria, even as they continued to negotiate a possible solution to the Syrian government’s possession of chemical weapons.

Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed hope that a date for a second peace conference in Geneva, to follow up one held in the Swiss city last

year, could be decided in the margins of a U.N. General Assembly meeting due to be held at the end of this month.

The first Geneva conference in June 2012 produced a tentative transition plan for the Syrian government that has largely come to naught as fighting rages between forces of President Bashar Assad and the rebels who want to overthrow his regime.

Leaders from around the world have pushed for a second conference, insisting that only a negotiated political settlement can end the civil

war, but attempts to convene a sequel have so far been unsuccessful.

Diplomatic momentum over Syria, however, has received a major boost within the past few days in light of the threat of a U.S.-led airstrike against Damascus to punish it for allegedly using chemical weapons.

Kerry and Lavrov raised the prospect of a second peace conference Friday on the second day of hastily arranged talks, also in Geneva, to hammer out a plan to impound Syria’s chemical ar-

senal, neutralize it and put it out of reach of both the government and the anti-Assad rebels.

Western governments remain skeptical of the idea, because of its technical challenges and their suspicion over Assad’s sincerity in cooperating. But they have agreed to pursue it with Russia, the plan’s primary sponsor.

A major sticking point is whether the disarmament plan can be backed up by force, which the West wants to see but which Russia opposes.

Bombers attack U.S. Consulate in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (MCT) — Insurgents detonated a pair of vehicle bombs at a gate of the U.S. consulate in the western city of Herat early Friday and attacked with assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades before being killed, Afghan and U.S. officials said.

At least two Afghan security guards died outside the embassy.

More than 20 Afghans were wounded in the attack, including security guards, police and more than a dozen residents of the area, said Herat Province police chief Gen. Rahmatullah Safi.

No Americans were killed, and all consulate personnel were reported safe and ac-

County Sheriff Alan Johannes, Fry was apprehended in a field in Adams County. A call was received by Adams County Sheriff’s dispatch to a report of an abandoned vehicle on the side of the road and a man walking through a field.

“He was turned over to the feds right away,” said Johannes.

Because of information provided by an informant, federal agents raided two residences in Creston Wednesday.

Just after 4 p.m. Wednesday, agents from the FBI raided a residence at 205 E. Mills St., in search of Fry. Earlier that day, agents also searched for Fry at a residence at 103 N. Stone St. Additional details will be published as they are released.

counted for, according to a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

The assault began about 6 a.m. Seven attackers approached the consulate in two vehicles and apparently attacked Afghan security forces outside with small arms fire before blowing up at least one vehicle bomb near the gate, Safi said. They rammed the gate with the second car bomb before exploding that one, too.

Afghan security forces took control outside the building, and the security contractors inside dealt with any attackers who got through the gates, said U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf.

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (MCT) — “Total Destruction.” That’s how Fire Chief Brian Gabriel describes the scene along four blocks of the Seaside boardwalk that were ravaged by fire Thursday.

From Lincoln to Farragut Avenues. there is nothing left but burned out buildings, some still smoldering.

At a press conference Friday morning, the chief would not confirm how many businesses were destroyed in Thursday’s fire, which ravaged parts of Seaside Heights and Seaside Park.

Power has largely been restored, except for the area directly around where the fire raged Thursday, Gabriel

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, officials said.

The fire was reported about 2 p.m. Thursday and, within 15 minutes, was burning out of control. Fed by the wind, it engulfed businesses along the boardwalk,

“Absolutely not,” said Gabriel.

One of those owners, Maria Maruca, was on her way there Friday morning with her brothers to see what remained of the family business, Maruca’s Pizza.

“I told them they have 24 hours to feel sorry for themselves,” said Maruca, the former president of the Seaside Heights Business Improvement District.

Thursday night, as Maruca watched the fire, she said that she was “numb.”

“But we just lost buildings,” she said. “We can rebuild those.”

ENTERTAINMENT The scent of home Dear Heloise: After reading your column about how to find a LOST PET, I just had to send an idea that has successfully been implemented in our area several times.

Leave an article of clothing with your scent in an area where your pet was last seen.

Check the area several times a day to see if your dog is sitting there — with the scent of his or her owner. — Ellen D., Bow, N.H. Good advice! Also, if your pet must be hospitalized or spend the night away, the same hint works! I send a Tshirt or bath towel with Cabbie. — Heloise CLEAN CHALKBOARD Dear Heloise: Help! My son accidentally wrote with crayon on his chalkboard. How can I remove it? — Wendy in Alabama Don’t stress, Wendy, help is here! Sprinkle a damp (water only) sponge with some baking soda and scrub the chalkboard. It might take a little elbow grease, but this should remove the crayon marks.

While you are at it, give the entire chalkboard a scrub, and it will look brand-new.

Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Many people are feeling bold and experimental today, which is why you might have a dispute with a partner or a close friend. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Easy does it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Arguments with co-workers or anyone, especially related to health issues, might arise today. Meanwhile, high-tech changes at home could be exciting.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents must be patient with children today, and romantic lovers must be patient with each other in order to avoid power struggles. Your daily routine definitely will be interrupted.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might see new, innovative ways to earn money today or to be self-employed.

However, also keep an eye on your money, because you might lose it. Alternatively, you also might find money.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel impulsive today, which is why you will spontaneously change your routine. Be careful that this doesn’t create an argument with relatives, siblings and neighbors who might not like sudden change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Disputes about money and possessions might arise today. Basically, they are power struggles. In fact, something surprising is going on behind the scenes.

Keep your eyes open.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Power struggles with family members might take place today, in part because you impulsively want to do something with a group of people.

You can’t please everyone all the time, can you?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might be doing a slow boil about something. You’re seething but you can’t speak up. Be careful, because you might do something impulsive with authority figures. (Don’t do anything you will regret later.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Unexpected opportunities to travel or explore new ideas might fall in your lap.

However, this could create a problem with others, or perhaps a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid disputes with authority figures today because they

Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Baking soda makes a great nonabrasive cleaner. Sprinkle a damp sponge with it and go to town on stainless steel, kitchen sink and stovetops. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: For those who travel a lot on business: I carry a little blue cloth bag that came with a bottle of liquor. Put keys, wallet and other valuables in the bag, and place it in your briefcase prior to the airport screening process. When you get to a convenient location, just empty the bag. You’ll never leave anything behind or lose it. — A Reader, Omaha, Neb. HEAVY-DUTY HAIR

Dear Heloise: I have very thick hair and was having a hard time keeping it secure in a ponytail. If I use two rubber bands when I put my hair up, it helps keep it up. A simple hint, but it has helped me a lot.

I don’t have to spend a ton of time redoing my hair several times a day. — R.K. in Rhode Island COTTON COMFORT Dear Heloise: Sometimes when I am wearing dresses, I feel like I need a little extra support or coverage underneath. I bought a couple of cotton bike shorts at the store in different colors. I can easily slip them on underneath a dress. It gives me support while still allowing me to breathe. — Joyce in Illinois BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker BLANK CHECKS Dear Heloise: How many times have you gone to write a check and had no more blank checks? When I put a new pad of checks in my checkbook, I take a sticky note and place it in where there are only three blank checks left so I’ll know when to put in the next pad. — M.G., Burlington, N.D.

Horoscope will not resolve anything.

Instead, keep your eyes open, because unexpected gifts and goodies might come your way!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Controversial subjects like politics and religion might trigger arguments today. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Enjoy being spontaneous with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might see new ways to be self-employed or to use technology at work. (Clever you.)

Meanwhile, avoid arguments about shared possessions and inheritances.

Creston News Advertiser Friday, September 13, 2013

State senator calls for climate control action Become a Friend of 4-H Record Keeper AMES (MCT) — This week, the Ames and Iowa State University communities were asked to take action on climate control.

Rob Hogg, a state senator from Cedar Rapids, spoke Tuesday night about his new book, “America’s Climate Century,” as part of the lectures program at ISU. Hogg, who spoke for an hour in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union, was presented by ISU student leaders Nolan Crees, director of events for the Green Umbrella group, and Rivka Fidel, president of the campus ActivUs organization.

Hogg said the purpose of his lecture was an “urgent plea” for Americans to become more involved and informed about climate change, climate-related disasters and the build-up of greenhouse gases.

“When disasters happen, the United States needs to respond,” Hogg said. “This issue does not require the greatest sacrifices in our history, not even close. But it requires us to make changes.”

While Hogg spoke about several dangerous greenhouse gases, he stressed the large increase in carbon dioxide over recent years.

The amount of the gas has increased from 317 parts per million in the late 1960s to the current amount of 400 parts per million, and Hogg said the rate increases by about two units each year, “just like clockwork.”

“It doesn’t mean it’s just going to be a little bit warmer every day, every year in a linear fashion. That’s not what the climate science has ever told us. What it says is there’s going to be consequences,” Hogg said.

“One of the challenges of this generation and our time is to slow down, stop and reverse the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We need to do that.”

Hogg also said the climate change can be directly linked to some disasters, such as the Cedar Rapids floods in 2008, which saw a record water level of 31 feet in the Cedar River, and the recent Iowa summer, which had record snowfall in May and a drought in August.

Hogg’s argument caught

the eye of Mark Rasmussen, director of Iowa State’s Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture.

Rasmussen had read Hogg’s book prior to the lecture, and he said he admired the book for showing, “in a short summary format, the essential features” of climate change and control.

“I’ve had an interest in climate change for quite a few years, been somewhat frustrated by the progress, and I admire his effort to write the book and his attempt to generate some enthusiasm about it,” Rasmussen said.

But Hogg continued, saying climate change, like Iowa’s recent weather, is not just isolated to the United States, but has spread on a global level. Hogg noted the 2010 record flooding in Pakistan, where 5,000 were killed and 20 million were displaced, Russia’s 2010 record heat and Syria’s drought which lasted from 2006 until 2010.

Hogg said we are living “with a climate system on

“When disasters happen, the United States needs to respond. We didn’t ask for this problem, we’ve got to deal with it.

Stock Up on Breakfast

for Lower Cholesterol Do you have a hard time getting the recommended 25-38g of fiber per day? If so, stocking the pantry with high-fiber breakfast foods will give you a head start in fulfilling your fiber needs for the day. Getting the recommended amount of fiber per day may provide our bodies with many health benefits including lowering cholesterol and improving heart health. Before your busy schedule gets back into full swing, stock up on high-fiber items such as oatmeal, whole grains, high-fiber cereal, beans, fruits and vegetables.

Here are eight tasty high-fiber breakfast ideas the family will be sure to love: • Fruit and Nutty Oatmeal. Make your favorite oatmeal with nonfat or low-fat milk.

Then top it with a tablespoon of dried fruits and unsalted chopped nuts. Dried fruits with the most fiber are apricots, dates, plums and raisins. Add chia or flax seeds for crunch and even more fiber. 336 calories and 6 g fiber.

• Chunky Monkey English Muffin. Top a whole wheat English muffin with a tablespoon of chunky peanut butter. Add sliced banana and top with raisins. 303 calories and 8 g fiber.

• High-Fiber Cereal with Fruit. Berries top the list of fruits with the most fiber, so choose blackberries, blueberries, strawberries or raspberries, either fresh or frozen. Choose a cereal with at least 5 grams of fiber per serving, such as bran flakes or shredded wheat. 242 calories and 10 g fiber.

• Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes or Waffles. Substitute whole wheat flour in your favorite pancake or waffle batter, then toss in fresh or frozen blueberries. 234 calories and 5 g fiber.

• Veggie Scramble and Whole Grain Toast. Scramble an egg, and toss in a handful of spinach leaves or broccoli to make a healthy scramble. Toast a slice of whole grain bread to serve with it. 234 calories and 6 g fiber.

• Blackberry Yogurt Breakfast Parfait. Layer blackberries and low-fat vanilla yogurt in a parfait glass or bowl and top with a tablespoon of granola. 272 calories and 6 g fiber.

• Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Start with one cup of strawberries. Add ½ cup plain, nonfat Greek-style yogurt, half a banana, ½ cup orange juice and a few ice cubes. Blend in the blender and you have a healthy meal in minutes. 234 calories and 5 g fiber.

• Breakfast Bean Burrito. Scramble one egg, toss in ¼ cup black beans, and place in the center of a warmed 5-inch whole grain tortilla. Top with a tablespoon of salsa and wrap it up for a high-fiber treat that you can eat on the go. 253 calories and 7 g fiber.

Grassley hopeful for resolution on Syria WASHINGTON (MCT) — Sen. Charles Grassley laid out a bleak scenario for diplomatic talks about to start with Russia to negotiate Grassley a peaceful means of removing chemical weapons from Syria, before the Iowa Republican stated he’d rather take an optimistic view.

“I want to be hopeful and prayerful, and I am, so I’m going to reserve judgment, and I think it will succeed,” he said during a conference call with reporters Wednesday.

After President Barack Obama’s Tuesday night address, where he requested Congress delay voting on a resolution to approve limited air strikes in Syria over its government’s use of chemical weapons on civilians, Grassley said in a statement the diplomatic negotiations need to be considered, “if credible and enforceable.”

He said Wednesday the president’s request also stalled any further discussion in Congress of taking military action. A scheduled confidential briefing was canceled.

“I think you’re going to have a few days of discussion of it on the Senate floor, but no votes are scheduled, and obviously, nobody is going to want to interfere - at least, I hope they don’t want to interfere - with the possibility of getting rid of these chemical weapons in a more peaceful way than Tomahawk missiles, and so

I think people going to be somewhat reserved,” Grassley said.

He added, however, that based on Obama’s Tuesday speech, he suspects if the diplomatic negotiations fail, Congress will weigh a resolution for a limited air strike on Syria and Tomahawk missiles likely will be fired.

The area’s delegation was leaning against supporting a resolution if diplomatic negotiations fail.

After Tuesday’s speech, Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-2nd District, said he opposed an air strike because there are too many unanswered questions.

His colleague across the river, Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-17th District, restated her “commitment to listening to the people” in her Illinois district.

Like Grassley, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, stated his

hope for a peaceful resolution through diplomatic efforts.

While Grassley did not go as far as Loebsack in stating his opposition, he said he’s been leaning against authorizing military action, and the president’s speech helped move him farther away from saying “yes.”

“I’m still of the position, leaning against, maybe after hearing the president, more strongly leaning against,” Grassley said, “but I still think if there are secret briefings that give me more information, I need to reserve some judgment for those meetings.”

Harkin: Farm bill may expire before Congress acts WASHINGTON (MCT) — With Congress distracted by the ongoing Syrian situation, Sen. Tom Harkin thinks it is increasingly likely the farm bill will expire before the House and Senate can reach a compro- Harkin mise on funding the nutrition programs that make up the bulk of the cost of the five-year program.

His optimism that the House and Senate could work out their differences over funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program faded as Congress dealt with the possibility of authorizing

military action against Syria.

“I don’t think we’ll do any kind of an extension,” he said of the farm bill expiring at the end of September. “We’ll let the present one expire. Not much will happen right away and, hopefully, we can go to conference in October.”

The House must first send the bill to a conference committee where the differences between the two chambers’ version can be worked out.

Harkin isn’t sure whether it would be better if the $40 billion cut in SNAP over 10 years was approved or defeated.

“If House approves $40 billion cut it’s going to be by a very narrow margin,” he said. “I dare say they won’t get one Democratic vote, and they will lose Republican votes.

“Maybe if they can bring it up and defeat it that would be best the best thing.”

There is no way the Senate, which approved a half-trillion dollar farm bill, will agree with the House’s $40 billion cut, Harkin said. The Senate cut nutrition programs by $4 billion cut or less than one-half of 1 percent.

HEALTH

See your diabetes in a new light this tailgating season (BPT) — Football season is here and along with that comes one of America’s favorite fall activities: tailgating! Tailgates are often synonymous with caloriepacked, high-fat foods that can make it challenging for people with type 2 diabetes to stay on-track with managing their condition.

But, even if you have type 2 diabetes, there’s no reason to sit on the tailgating sidelines this season. As part of Diabetes in a New Light, Novo Nordisk is helping adults tackle common challenges associated with type 2 diabetes by offering diabetes-friendly recipes and resources to incorporate into their disease management playbook.

This fall, try recipes like Hot Spinach-Artichoke Dip in a new light and BuffaloStyle Chicken Bites in a new light at your next tailgate or get-together. These diabetes-friendly versions of classic tailgating foods trim the calories, saturated fats, sodium and cholesterol and still taste great. They’re sure to be a big hit with all of your guests.

However, diabetes management goes beyond just eating right. Your game plan should also include staying active and working with your health care provider to find the right individualized treatment regimen. Ask your doctor about different medications to help manage your condition.

For more diabetes-friendly recipes, along with tips and resources for managing type 2 diabetes, visit DiabetesinaNewLight.com.

Hot Spinach-Artichoke Dip in a new light Makes: 16 servings Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Difficulty: Easy 1 (10-ounce) package fro-

zen chopped spinach 1/4 cup reduced-fat Pepper Jack cheese, shredded 1 cup imported Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated 2 (14-ounce) cans artichoke hearts packed in water, rinsed and drained 1/2 cup light mayonnaise 1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper Vegetable dippers such as strips of bell pepper, carrot sticks, celery sticks, endive spears, or whole-wheat bagel or pita chips Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.

Microwave the spinach according to package directions. Drain, let cool, then squeeze dry. Transfer spinach to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, to make the topping, combine Pepper Jack cheese and 2 table-

spoons of Parmesan cheese in a small bowl until blended.

Pulse the artichoke hearts in a food processor until smooth. -Transfer artichokes to the bowl with the spinach. -Stir in remaining Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, ricotta, lemon juice, and ground red pepper until well mixed. Scrape into the prepared dish. Sprinkle evenly with the topping.

Bake, uncovered, until the filling is hot and the cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Serve with the vegetable dippers.

Per serving (1/4 cup without dippers): 140 calories, 10 g fat (2 g saturated, 0 g trans), 10 mg cholesterol, 500 mg sodium, 7 g- carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 5 g protein.

Making it lighter Swapped out fatty mayonnaise with creamy (but fatfree) ricotta cheese.

Used less Parmesan cheese to cut saturated fat.

Chose Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to get the most

cheese power from a smaller amount.

Buffalo-Style Chicken Bites in a new light Makes: 10 servings Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Difficulty: Easy 1/2 cup light mayonnaise 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream 1/4 cup reduced-fat blue cheese crumbles 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 pound ground chicken breast 1 small red bell pepper, minced 3 tablespoons reducedsodium bottled hot pepper sauce 2 tablespoons plain dry whole wheat bread crumbs 1 shallot, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups celery sticks 2 1/2 cups carrot sticks Preheat the oven to 425 F. Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray.

To make the dressing, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, lemon juice, and pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to blend, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine ground chicken, bell pepper, 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce, bread crumbs, shallot, garlic, and salt in a large bowl until well mixed.With lightly moistened hands, form the mixture into 30 (1 1/4-inch) balls.

Place on the baking sheet.

Bake until meatballs are lightly browned and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

Transfer meatballs to a large bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce and gently toss until coated.- Serve with the dressing, celery and carrot sticks.

Per serving (3 meatballs

with scant 2 tablespoons dressing, 1/2 cup celery sticks, 1/2 cup carrot sticks): 180 calories, 12 g fat (1.5 g saturated, 0 g trans), 40 mg cholesterol, 310 mg sodium, 9 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 10 g protein.

Making it lighter Use light mayonnaise, reduced-fat sour cream and reduced-fat blue cheese to keep it delicious without extra fat and calories.

Reduce fat by using lean ground chicken breast instead of ground beef, and add red bell peppers for more flavor.

To keep sodium in check, look for reduced-sodium hot sauce. *These recipes have been reviewed by Diabetes Care and Education, a dietetic practice group of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Three easy ways to reverse Prediabetes There’s a hidden sugar crisis that’s sweeping the country, and we’re not talking about what’s lurking in the nearest vending machine (although it does contribute to the problem).

We’re talking about the 80 million North Americans with prediabetes; a condition that is characterized by higher-than-normal blood sugar levels.

Prediabetes is a risky condition: It doesn’t just put you in line for diabetes and all of its complications (which, of course, it does), but even before you develop full-blown diabetes, having slightly elevated blood glucose levels puts you at increased risk for heart disease and stroke, leg pain due to circulation problems, reduced kidney function and blood-vessel changes that can lead to vision loss and neuropathy (nerve damage), as well as sexual dysfunction and de-

pression.

Unfortunately, only one in 10 people with prediabetes even knows they have it.

And just a quarter of those folks are taking advantage of their big opportunity (knock, knock) to launch their own health rescue initiative before it’s too late.

Scary statistic: Once you’ve got prediabetes (find out by asking your doctor for a fasting blood sugar test or the A1c test that measures average glucose levels over a three-month period), odds are you’ll develop fullblown diabetes within nine to 10 years.

Amazing fact: While more than 65 percent of North Americans have genes that

predispose them to type 2 diabetes, it’s almost 100 percent preventable at the prediabetes stage and doesn’t have to happen.

Here’s how to move your blood sugar back into the healthy zone and sidestep the health risks of prediabetes: Eat less beef. Simple, but it’s true: More beef on your plate equals more diabetes risk. Eating an extra three to four servings of red meat per week boosts your risk for developing diabetes by about 50 percent. A big, new study uncovered the connection by tracking the diets and health of 149,000 women and men for four years. The good news? Less

beef equals less diabetes.

Those who cut back even a little reduced their risk by 14 percent. What’s the connection? Could be the saturated fat, a Food Felon that blunts your body’s ability to absorb blood sugar, or simply that big servings of meat leave less room on your plate and in your stomach for diabetes-fighting goodies like whole grains, produce, fish and nuts.

Say “yes” to flavor, “no” to the Food Felons. One of the most powerful ways to increase the health power of food is to give your diet a taste of the old one-two: Knock out refined flour and added sugars and syrups, and then fill in the gaps with naturally tasty stuff such as spices and seasonal fruit. It’s a great time for blueberries, blackberries and peaches.

And indulge in the harvest of veggies like sun-ripened tomatoes and green beans.

For good measure, add flavorful, fiber- and nutrientfilled whole grains like quinoa and quick-cooking barley.

What’s so bad about sugars and refined carbohydrates? Another powerful new report spotlights the connection: In countries where people consume more sugary foods, diabetes rates are higher. For every extra 150 calories’ worth of sweetener (the amount in a 12-ounce soda) consumed daily, diabetes prevalence jumped by 1 percent. Turns out these empty calories increase your diabetes risk even if you don’t overeat, by firing up inflammation and insulin resistance so that your body can’t easily use blood sugar.

Take a short walk after breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Think you don’t have time for a daily walk? Turns out that fitting in a short stroll

(about 15 minutes) soon after you eat keeps blood sugar levels low and steady for the next three hours. The movement encourages your muscles to use more sugar from your bloodstream. Try taking your partner, kids and/or pooch out for some foot-powered fun after dinner. Plenty of traditional cultures go for a walk after eating --like the Italian passeggiata. Get out there, and start livin’ the real dolce vita! *** 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.

Seniors lead CD rally past Lenox, 3-2 Panthers finish second,

By LARRY PETERSON

Straight seasons the Yankees have gone without losing a season series to the Orioles, the longest streak in the MLB vs. an opponent.

NATIONAL DIGEST

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

LENOX — Up 2-1 after hammering Central Decatur 25-8 in game three, Lenox appeared to be on the verge of its first volleyball victory of the 2013 season here Thursday night.

Central Decatur, one

game in front of the Tigers in the Pride of Iowa Conference standings, rose up and captured game four, 25-15, to force a fifth set.

Once again, Lenox was in a good position to finish off the victory, leading the shortened (15-point) fifth set early, 6-2.

That’s when energized senior Caitlyn Saxton be-

gan to dominate some crucial points, finding holes in the Tiger defensive court as freshman Jentri Hullinger was reeling off four straight service points to give the Cardinals an 8-7 lead.

Bethany Christensen served Lenox to a 12-10 Please see LENOX, page 3S

Pats survive FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Dobson on the game’s first series before both offenses played as sloppily as the second-half weather, and the New England Patriots got by the New York Jets 13-10 on Thursday night.

Brady had trouble connecting with his rookiefilled receiving corps, while Jets rookie Geno Smith was repeatedly sacked when he took too much time to throw.

The Patriots (2-0) managed just nine first downs and 234 yards after leading the NFL in points and yards last season. Smith threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter for the Jets (1-1).

Tech wins LUBBOCK, Texas — Freshman backup quarterback Davis Webb threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez with 3:48 remaining to lead Texas Tech to a 20-10 victory over No. 24 TCU on Thursday night.

The score came after the Red Raiders (3-0, 1-0 Big 12) thought they’d scored on a 49-yard TD pass from Webb to DeAndre Washington, but he dropped the ball at the half-yard line.

FAN POLL

third at Greene County

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

JEFFERSON — The Creston cross country teams shined in their first varsity team competitions of the season here Thursday at the Greene County Invitational.

The Panther boys placed second in Class AA with 52 points, just five points behind team champion Perry.

Nevada finished third with 86 points, while Winterset and Carroll Kuemper rounded out the top five with 114 and 115 points, respectively.

On the girls side, the Panthers finished third behind Winterset’s 31 points and Green County’s 62 points. Creston scored 79 team points. Fourth was Roland-Story with 99 and fifth was Nevada with 122.

The Panthers also earned seven varsity medals at the meet — four on the boys side and three on the girls side.

Sophomore Cooper McDermott finished second, junior Jay Wolfe third, senior Garret Taylor sixth and freshman Ben Irr 11th in the boys race.

Junior Maria Mostek paced the girls with a fourth-place finish, sophomore Taylor Briley finished seventh and sophomore Jessica Beatty placed 18th. Sophomore Madison Hance just missed medaling with her 21st-place finish.

“We knew going in both sides we had a chance to compete not only for individual honors, but team honors,” head coach Pat Schlapia said. “We did

that. In fact, team wise girls and boys combined, this was probably our best showing.”

Tight race

McDermott and Perry junior A t e m A k o k battled back and f o r t h for the entire length of McDermott the 5K course around the school grounds in Jefferson, as the race came down to the final 380 meters on the track.

Akok just edged out McDermott at the finish line, winning the race in 16:51.09 compared to McDermott’s 16:52.03.

“This was nice that they ran shoulder to shoulder,” Schlapia said. “They traded off throughout the meet. They both worked on each other and Akok was just able to nip Cooper out. That’s going to be a competition that’s going to go throughout the season.”

The boys team race was also close, as Creston placed its top four in the top 11 of the meet, while Perry’s top four finished in the top 12. The difference came in the fifth and final scoring position, as Perry’s Cole Chance finished 19th, while Creston freshman Isaiah Foster came across in 30th.

“Our top four were within about a minute to a minute and a half of each other, and then with

Twas the night before the CyHawk game Twas the night before the CyHawk game when all through the state, well let’s face it, there’s plenty of creatures stirring about with high school football tonight.

But the big game is 5 p.m. tomorrow in Ames. It’s being broadcast on Fox Sports 1, for those of you unable to make it to Jack Trice Stadium.

CyHawk week kicked off with a bang here in Creston with RVTV’s arrival in downtown Creston Monday.

I have to hand it to you, Creston. Fans showed up in droves on Monday for WHO-TV’s final RVTV tour.

Andy Fales of WHO-TV said it was by far the best turnout for a kickoff city in RVTV history, and at the time, he believed it to be one of the bigger crowds in general.

Crowds for the annual weeklong tour have seemingly gotten bigger and bigger with each town the SoundOff guys have visited this week, but Creston should still be proud of the showing it put on for RVTV. The downtown tailgate pro-

Vick-tory lap Scott Vicker sports editor

vided a fun atmosphere, and in return for hosting RVTV, the city of Creston received plenty of positive coverage on the Channel 13 news.

And let’s not forget about the downton Creston area. It looked great for RVTV, with all of the Cyclone and Hawkeye flags flying and with all the window paintings.

And it was fun to relive the Kyle McCann era for the Hawkeyes with John Sears’ story on McCann during the 10 p.m. news Monday night.

If only I weren’t still haunted by visions of Sears dancing with the Creston Salts and Peppers.

Possibly the biggest winner of RVTV’s visit to Creston, however, was Tony Groumoutis of A&G Restaurant and Lounge.

“Tony the Greek,” as Keith Murphy and Fales called him Tuesday afternoon on their

sports talk radio show on KXnO, made quite the impression on the SoundOff guys with his stories and encounters with celebrities and restauranteurs.

Sitting there Monday night watching the Houston Texas complete an improbable second-half comeback win over the San Diego Chargers and listening to Tony’s countless stories made for a fun time for all involved.

Fales recounted several of those stories in his best “Tony the Greek” voice during Tuesday’s radio show.

Murphy and Fales agreed that he will go down as one of the alltime great characters to come out of RVTV. I’m sure that any fans of the Murph & Andy radio show listening to Tuesday’s show will stop by A&G if they ever venture to Creston.

As for the CyHawk Rivalry game, it seems like neither fan base is too confident in its team’s ability to win the game.

Both teams are in desperate need of a win in the game, but I think Iowa State might need the

win more than Iowa does. An 0-2 start to the season for Iowa State would be crushing, especially with the tough conference schedule looming ahead for the Cyclones.

The biggest question I have regarding Iowa State entering the game is were the Cyclones overlooking Northern Iowa in the opener, or is the defense really that susceptible to being gashed by the run.

If the latter is the case, then it could be a long evening for Cyclone fans if Mark Weisman and Damon Bullock get going in the rushing game for the Hawkeyes.

And football fans, don’t forget — there’s a little game being played in the south leading into Saturday’s CyHawk game.

I have a feeling Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide will “roll” all over Johnny Manziel and the Texas A&M Aggies.

The Aggies were lucky to have a bye week leading into last week’s contest and to catch Alabama the week after the LSU contest.

Given time, there’s no better coach at creating a game plan than Saban. He’ll find a way to keep

Manziel in check this time around.

••• A big thanks is in order to CNA assistant managing editor Kyle Wilson for helping out last week with high school football coverage.

Wilson made his return to the sidelines, covering high school football, allowing me to return to St. Louis for a short vacation to do one of my absolute favorite things on this planet — see The Killers perform live.

So off to LouFest I went, to see not only Las Vegas rockers The Killers, but my two other favorite bands in Ra Ra Riot and Fitz and the Tantrums.

It was my sixth time seeing The Killers perform and my third time seeing Ra Ra Riot.

Luckily, they played on separate days.

Sunday, I arrived at Forest Park in St. Louis a little before noon, bought myself lunch and a water a bottle and sat down and ate.

I drank half of the bottle of water with my lunch, went to the

water or to go to the bathroom. Eight and a half hours I stayed there, waiting for the start of the The Killers’ set.

While waiting, I found a new favorite in Youngblood Hawke, and even caught one of the band’s drumsticks at the conclusion of its set.

I also met some new friends, including a pair of girls from Iowa City, who stood next to me during The Killers’ set.

Ten and a half hours (until the end of The Killers’ set) I stood in one spot, with just my one water bottle and my spray bottle to keep myself cool in the mid-90s temperature.

And no matter how crazy you all probably now think I am, it was totally worth it.

boys team next week. Connor Haggerty ran his first varsity meet and also ran well.”

LENOX: Continued from page 1S

lead, just three points from match victory.

But there was one more Central Decatur resurgence.

Two attack errors were untimely for Lenox, as the Cardinals moved in front, 14-13.

Setter Jeals Elsberry served the next ball, and Hullinger powered the decisive kill shot for the 15-13 win, extinguishing Lenox’s hopes for good.

The Cardinals improved to 2-6 overall and 2-3 in the Pride of Iowa. Lenox fell to 0-6 and 0-4.

“We had some pretty strong heart out there from our three seniors (Saxton, Elsberry and Kate Havens),” CD coach Joni Readout said.

“With one of our starters (Hallie Linhart) injured, a lot

of the time we had our three seniors taking three freshmen under their wing tonight.”

Readout said without Linhart, Saxton’s passing was even more crucial throughout the night. That allowed Ellsberry’s setting to be distributed for some key kills on long rallies.

Havens, Hullinger and Saxton did most of the damage up front.

For Dukes, whose team hadn’t won a set until a 3-1 loss to East Union Tuesday, it was a disappointing finish to an encouraging night.

“We should have won it,” Dukes said. “We just found out our (best) rotation this week at East Union, and every time out now we’re getting a little better. We just lost

ourselves for awhile in our attack tonight.”

Aurora Arevalo had 15 of Lenox’s 33 kills Thursday, and a team-high 22 digs.

She also served 13of-13 with an ace. Arevalo Shantelle Brown had a big serving night, posting seven aces while going 22-25. Katie Dukes had six kills with 20 digs. Sharing the setting were Morgan Miller with eight assists and Bethany Christensen with seven.

When Lenox was rolling, such as a 15-5 lead in game one, and a 20-5 advantage in game three, the Tigers were

21st and Maddie Skarda in 29th place rounded out the scoring five for the Panther girls.

“Taylor Briley was able to come in with a top 10 finish,” Schlapia said.

“She’s filling a very important spot for us Briley at that second spot. Jess Beatty, gotta hand it to her, was battling some stomach problems during the race and she was still able to medal.”

Schlapia said it was nice for his teams to get a taste of varsity team competition before Monday’s meet at Ballard of Huxley.

“Next Monday is going to be a mini state meet at Ballard,” he said. “This gives us an idea of how to measure up to some of these schools up there. This is going to be a good eye opener for us. This is the competition

we need. We’re not going to back away from any of this competition, no matter where they’re from.”

The Panthers will compete in Class B at Ballard — the second largest class.

dominant. But there wasn’t enough consistency to bury the Cardinals then they had the chance.

“When we were playing well, we were communicating with each other and making plays,” Dukes said. “They were in it. Aurora Arevelo had an outstanding night tonight. We just beat ourselves for awhile, and it cost us.”

Lenox statistics Serving (aces) — Shantelle Brown 22-25 (7), Katie Dukes 18-19 (2), Aurora Arevalo 13-13 (1), Chelsie Dukes 13-14 (1), Bethany Christensen 11-12.

Isaiah, there’s about a minute gap,” Schlapia said.

“We want to close that gap.

We knew going in we had a shot at first, and Perry was just able to bunch theirs a little better than we were able to.”

Girls The Panther girls finished third one year after winning the team title at the Greene County Invitational.

Mostek led the Panthers, being one of only two nonWinterset runners to finish in the top six.

“She ran a solid race,” Schlapia said. “I think the strong point with her smaller stature, I think she’s an even stronger hill runner compared to on the flat lands, but I think she still ran a solid race. She was going up against some stout competition. She battled right in there.”

Briley in seventh place, Beatty in 18th, Hance in
