“Hell and Mr. Fudge”According to a 2008 survey, nearly 60% of Americans think there is a hell where “sinners” suffer eternal torment. Theologians are increasingly divided over the issue. “Hell and Mr. Fudge” is a true story of one man’s need to know the truth.

Murray’s new Casey’s draws a big crowd for opening day

open for business

MURRAY — The dough-nuts are stocked on the shelves. The gas pumps are ready to be used. The pizza is piping in the oven. The new Casey’s General Store in Mur-ray is open for business.

A store opening recep-tion was held Thursday at the Casey’s, which is located di-rectly south of the school in Murray.

Many people and officials from Murray were there, as well as former Democratic Congressman Leonard Bo-swell and Robert J. Myers, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Casey’s General Stores.

“It’s a great thing for the community just to have a convenience store, to have a Casey’s here,” said Nik Wer-ner, former mayor of Murray. “ ... The amenities they pro-vide is something the city re-ally needed. The citizens really

wanted it, and it’s just a huge boost for the city of Murray.”

D u r i n g W e r n e r ’ s term as mayor, he was instru-mental in starting the process of Murray acquiring a Casey’s store.

What does it offer?The store is also bringing

approximately 20 new jobs to the community.

As for Casey’s amenities, it’s more than just the gas pumps outside of the store. The interior of the store of-fers customers snacks, drinks, doughnuts, pizza, a deli, soft serve ice cream and frozen slushy drinks.

It had previously been re-ported the store would not have a deli and just serve pizza.

However, during the open-ing, a comment was made that if Casey’s General Stores opens a new convenience

store, it’s not styled after an old model. The new store is designed to be the most up-to-date version of the store pos-sible.

During Myers’ opening cer-emony speech, he discussed what drew Casey’s General Stores to Murray. He said one reason was the commu-

nity’s support of the school district. This included the city approving bond issue last year to build an addition onto the school.

Senators approve limited cannabis oil access

DES MOINES (MCT) — The Iowa Senate on Thursday approved a narrow opening for Iowa parents with severely epileptic children to treat them with cannabis oil.

After emotional debate, senators voted 36-12 to pass a bill that legalizes the limited use of cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive component of marijuana that backers say possesses a wide range of therapeutic benefits.

Sen. Bill Dotzler, D-Waterloo, said the legis-lation is an effort to give “hope and help” to par-ents who have spent hours lobbying legislators to allow them access the oil for their children.

“We have an opportunity to do something here today that’s pretty special, and I want to thank the mothers for coming before us and having the courage to stand up when people were saying no. This is unacceptable. We need to move forward,” Dotzler said.

Waterloo mother Sarah Amundson knows the debate has only moved this far because of mothers like her who have shown lawmakers the conversation isn’t about skirting the law but about helping suffering kids.

While she has not been as active as other mothers lobbying at the Capitol, Amundson has been following the debate closely and is cau-tiously optimistic after the Senate’s vote.

“I believe there’s a better chance today than even six months ago,” Amundson said. “My daughter is not at the point where I feel like she needs it right now, (but) it’d be wonderful to know that would be an option in the future.”

Amundson’s 6-year-old daughter suffers from a rare chromosomal disorder called isodicentric chromosome 15 syndrome, or idic(15), which can cause seizures. Amundson said her daugh-ter’s symptoms are currently controlled with medication, but seizures can increase as she ages.

Amundson also says she will believe it’s a re-ality when Gov. Terry Branstad signs the bill into law.

“The fact that it’s come this far from a few months ago, that’s huge,” Amundson adds.

Branstad said he has talked with the governor

That said, however, the governor will reserve judg-ment until he’s seen the bill in its final form if it reaches his desk.

“I met with the parents, and I do have empathy for the families, but I have con-cerns,” he added.

Both Dotzler and Sen. Jeff Danielson, D-Waterloo, talk-ed about the families they’ve met in the Cedar Valley who would be impacted by the bill before they cast votes in favor of the legislation.

The measure now goes to the Iowa House for consider-ation.

When Boswell was a Con-gressman, his district includ-ed Murray.

“I have a fondness for Murray ... and I enjoyed coming to Murray. The school spirit, the Mustangs,” Boswell said. “ ... It’s won-derful. It was something that was needed. It’ll provide a service that was needed for the community. We need gas. We need essentials, con-venience. It’s a good thing.”

CASEY’S:

Proposed rail abandonment spurs prospects for rec trail

(MCT) — It’s a grand vision, interconnecting all of central Iowa by a recre-ational bike trail system.

Former U.S. Rep. Neal Smith, whose namesake wildlife refuge is located south of Prairie City, en-visioned a trail system ex-tending from Pella to Fort Madison. But he knew it would take small steps to get there.

Last month, another one of those small steps began to look possible. March 5, the Iowa Interstate Rail-road filed a memo with the federal Surface Trans-portation Board stating it plans to abandon the rail corridor extending from Highway F62 W southeast of Prairie City through Jasper County to Highway S27 near Mitchellville.

This 10.75-mile stretch, dubbed by IAIS as the “Prairie City Segment,” is part of a larger vision to connect Marion, Jasper and Polk counties with a paved recreational trail system. If abandoned as proposed, county and lo-cal leaders could begin the process of designating it a greenway, Prairie City City Administrator Manny To-ribio said.

“For many years there has been discussion as to what would happen if that rail line ever was aban-doned and we had the op-portunity to put in a trail,” he said. “We’ve thought that a multi-use trail would be good for the visibility of our community.”

According to its memo, the IAIS expects to file its official petition for aban-donment by the end of April.

In August, Toribio held an initial Steering Com-mittee meeting to begin preliminary plans on the “Rails to Trails” process. Leaders in the business

community, along with county conservation and city officials, attended the meeting.

Andrea Chase is the trails coordinator for the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. Her organi-zation is involved in the petitioning and research that goes into turning a rail corridor into a recreational trail.

After a railway is dis-continued by the a railroad company, the INHF also can petition the transpor-tation board to preserve the rail path with “rail banking.” Chase explained that once a discontinued segment is banked, it’s re-served solely for transpor-tation use.

If the corridor is sim-ply abandoned, any land leased or acquired through condemnation by a rail company would go back to its original deedholder. In many cases, this can re-quire research going back more than a century.

Rail banking the system will allow local jurisdic-tions the opportunity to use it for alternative trans-portation purposes, such as walking or biking. It also allows the railroad com-pany the option to reopen that track in the future if it ever deems it necessary.

But Chase stressed that rail re-institution has never happened in Iowa due to rail banking.

Chase said the INHF will assist city leaders with their experience in the rail-banking process. But she also stressed it is a local ef-fort and her organization is there to “make sure they hit all the marks along the way.”

“I’ve worked at the foun-dation for eight years now, and ever since I came on board the city administra-tors and community lead-ers have been asking me when (this segment) was going to be abandoned,” Chase said. “I feel like this has been a long time coming. The communities have been wanting it for so long.”

Jasper County Conser-vation Director Kari Van Zante has also been work-

ing on the proposed proj-ect.

“I’ve been sending let-ters to the railroad for years,” she said. “I al-ways was turned down every time until last May. They’ve finally changed their mind.”

Of course, the ultimate goal is connect the trail system to Altoona, and eventually the Des Moines metro area. In conjunction with work on the Steering Committee, Toribio has been in discussion with the Marion and Polk county conservation directors to eventually connect Dia-

mond Head Trail through the Prairie City Segment to Mitchellville and leading to Altoona.

The segment of track between Mitchellville and Altoona is still considered active by the IAIS, Chase said. But the leaders hope this will one day change.

Another hurdle is fund-ing. Toribio said state and federal grants potentially could assist in the construc-tion of the proposed trail, but many times a county-level match of funds is re-quired. Since the planning is in the early stages, he said he has yet to discuss the proposed trail with the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

Toribio acknowledged the county’s other funding commitments such as the recent action of resurfac-ing trails near Baxter. The board would have to take into account future main-tenance costs on the new trail. But those associated in the planning said trails like this bring with them economic incentives.

The 25-mile “High

Trestle” recreational trail extends from it’s south-ern most point in Ankeny through Slater, Madrid and Woodward. The proj-ect took community lead-ers eight years to com-plete from concept to final touches. Chase said this is “lightening speed” for a project of that size.

But Chase gave exam-ples of economic develop-ment associated with the trail completion. A cafe in Woodward doubled its staff after the Trestle Trail began to pick up traffic, and a bed and breakfast and a bike shop opened in Slater.

“Looking at the end product of the High Trestle Trail, it brings an attraction and a quality of life benefit to these small rural towns,” she said.

There can be lengthy timelines in trail projects. Chase said the average length of time for a project this size is roughly eight years from start to finish, but she said it depends on funding, as well as commu-nity enthusiasm and sup-port.

“You always have to have a plan in case it could happen,” Toribio said. “And that’s what everyone is trying to do; take small steps and get to the big end.”

UNI makes green college list CEDAR FALLS (MCT)

— The University of North-ern Iowa has made the Princeton Review’s list of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the U.S. and Canada.

UNI was one of 322 Green Colleges identified this week by the organization, a test preparation and college ad-mission services company, as committed to sustainabil-ity. UNI’s rating of 95 out of 99 was the highest score of any school in Iowa, with the next highest at 89.

The company tallied its scores based on the colleges’ responses to an institutional survey, compiled from a range of data including the percentage of food expen-ditures that goes toward local, organic or otherwise environmentally preferable food.

Iowa State University and the University of Iowa also

made the list.UNI’s Office of Sustain-

ability is contributing a slew of events for Earth Week this week, including:

A bike ride with the Ce-dar Valley Cyclists on Cedar Falls trails at 6 p.m. Wednes-day, starting and ending at Mulligan’s on 18th Street. Helmets are required and free T-shirts will be provid-ed to participants who regis-ter at www.rrttc.com.

Earth Week concludes Thursday with a film screen-ing of “In Organics We Trust” at 11 a.m. in the Center for Energy and En-vironmental Education, room 115. It explores what it means for products to be certified organic.

Saturday, April 26, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April

19) You have an inventive, imaginative mind today when it comes to ideas about raising money. This could be about making money on the side or perhaps getting a different job.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel sympathetic toward others today. You even might feel

zoned into their headspace, almost as if you can read their minds. (This is interesting.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mysterious subjects interest you today, especially UFOs, ghosts or paranormal activi-ties. You might not believe in this, but you’re a bit intrigued.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone might need to cry on your shoulder today, or perhaps you want to confide in someone else. Either way, private, confidential conversa-tions will take place between you and someone else.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Someone in a position of authority might inspire you today. You might wish that you could be like him or her. Be careful, because you probably have Vaseline on your lens.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, which is why you will enjoy museums, art galleries, parks and beauti-ful buildings. Give yourself a chance to do this.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions about shared property or the values of oth-ers are not solid today. It is as if conversations are more about wishful thinking than about solid facts. Caution!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today, people are in touch with their fantasies, which is why you might want to share your dreams with someone close to you. Or perhaps some-one will confide in you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will be sympathet-ic and tenderhearted to a co-worker or someone related to your job who needs to discuss his or her troubles. Sometimes all someone needs is a sympa-thetic ear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a wonderfully creative day for those of you involved in artistic projects. It’s also a romantic day, but in an unrealistic, idealistic way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to

Feb. 18) Make a list of all the things you wish you could do to improve where you live. You start from perfection, then just scale back until you get to what is doable.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t be worried if you spend a lot of time daydreaming and woolgathering today. It’s just that kind of day. Plus, you have a fantastic imagination!

YOU BORN TODAY The world needs more people like you. You are inventive and cre-ative, especially with establish-

ing new systems and ways of doing things. On top of that, you have a strong desire to serve. Although you are inde-pendent, you also can work well with others. Exciting news! This year is the begin-ning of a fresh new cycle for you. Open any door!

Birthdate of: Giancarlo Esposito, actor; Stana Katic, actress; Jet Li, actor/martial artist.

Dear Heloise: We have large, doormat-styled rugs at the inside doors of our church for folks to clean their feet as they enter the church. With all the traffic, the rug mats, once secured by TWO-WAY TAPE, have moved, leaving a sticky substance on the church rug. How can we remove the sticky tape residue without ruining the rug? — Janis Mc-Quade, Elkin, N.C.

What a sticky situation! First thing to do is to try to gently scrape off the stuff with a dull knife or spoon. Then blot the area with dry-cleaning solvent (which you can buy at most grocery stores). Blot the area until the dry-cleaning solvent is absorbed, and try to remove the adhesive. The next step is to mix a solution of 2 cups warm water, 1 table-spoon liquid dishwashing soap and 1 tablespoon white vine-gar. Again using a clean cloth, blot the residue area with the solution. You probably will have to repeat this step sev-eral times. — Heloise

5000Fax: 1-210-HELOISEEmail: Heloise@Heloise.

com TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise: When travel-

ing and staying at a hotel, turn one of the plastic sleeves cov-ering the drinking glasses/cups inside out and cover the pos-sibly unsanitized TV remote control. — A Reader, Merri-mack, N.H.

Good travel and health hint, and one for folks in a hospital, too! — Heloise

GYM COURTESYDear Heloise: I recently

read the article on how to be a good customer at a new gym. All of the hints were right-on, except I wish you would have added to please leave your perfume and cologne at home. We do a lot of deep inhaling and exhaling during our work-outs, along with sweating. Per-fumes and cologne intensify while you perspire, and they can trigger asthma and aller-gy attacks, along with severe headaches. — J.R., Huntsville, Ala.

TO-GO DISHESDear Heloise: In the party-

planning section of large gro-cery stores, you often can find heavy-duty plastic plates in a variety of colors and sizes. They are relatively inexpen-sive (more than paper plates, but less than actual plates). I buy several at a time and use them when I give food to people, whether cookies, leftovers, etc. I never have to worry about getting my dishes back, and they look better than a plain paper plate. — Suzy in Kansas

IRON-ON BADGESDear Heloise: My son is a

member of a Scouting group. I learned a great tip from anoth-er mom when it came time to sew some badges on his vest. Instead of hand-sewing them on, I use fabric fusing tape. Just cut out what is needed and iron to adhere. So much easier and quicker! — Helen in Ohio

GAME NIGHTDear Heloise: My family

and I love to have game nights. Whenever we play a game that includes a board, we place the board on a wooden turn-table. We easily can spin it to whoever’s turn it is. It is much easier that constantly having to stand up or reach over each other. — Sophie in Texas

HEALTHHEALTH

Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen column feature brought to you by Hammer Medical Supply of CrestonDr. Oz and Dr. Roizen column feature brought to you by Hammer Medical Supply of Creston

(BPT) — A routine doc-tor’s appointment often in-volves a health professional checking your blood pres-sure. The screening is not painful or stressful and typi-cally takes less than a min-ute to measure. However, the results of this simple test may identify a condition that, when managed, could help reduce your chances for stroke or heart attack.

High blood pressure, of-ten referred to as the “silent killer,” does not have any symptoms, but can cause serious damage to arter-ies, leading to heart disease and stroke. Nearly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pres-sure, and because there are no symptoms, many remain unaware of the condition for years, according to the American Medical Group Foundation (AMGF). A blood pressure screening in a doctor’s office can deter-mine if you have healthy or high blood pressure. Doc-tors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health profes-sionals can help patients understand the risk factors for high blood pressure and

its health problems, and recommend lifestyle modi-fications and/or medicines to control the disease.

The Measure Up/Pres-sure Down national high blood pressure campaign is an initiative of AMGF to encourage adults to get in control by using lifestyle changes, including:

1. Know your numbers - Understanding what blood pressure is and what your numbers are is an important first step. At its simplest, blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood. Work with your health care team to determine your individu-al blood pressure goals and treatment plan if your num-bers are too high.

2. Eat right - A diet with excessive sodium (salt) may cause a person to retain flu-id, which can lead to higher blood pressure. Potassium can help the body balance this sodium. Foods high in potassium include bananas, plain baked potatoes, avo-cados and cooked white beans.

3. Stay active - On aver-

age, people who are more active tend to have lower heart rates, which means the heart does less work each time it contracts, re-ducing the pressure on ar-teries. Adults should be ac-tive at least 30 minutes each day.

4. Reduce stress - Many Americans respond to stressful situations by eating more, getting less exercise, drinking or smoking. Plus, a stressful situation can also increase blood pressure for a short period of time. Try

to reduce the occurrence of these situations and look for healthy ways - like med-itation or walking - to help you deal with stress.

5. Set alcohol limits and eliminate tobacco - Over time, consuming a high amount of alcohol can damage the heart. Recom-mendations are for women to limit themselves to one drink a day and for men to two drinks to avoid seeing an increase in blood pres-sure. Tobacco use and sec-ondhand smoke can imme-

diately raise blood pressure levels and cause damage to the lining of arteries. If you’re interested in quit-ting your tobacco use, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

6. Take medication - Your doctor may recom-mend taking a blood pres-sure medication to keep levels steady. Be sure to fol-low the directions provided for taking the medications to ensure you’re getting the most benefit from them.

With Measure Up/Pres-sure Down, Americans are

encouraged to measure, monitor and maintain their blood pressure levels to stay in control of this health con-dition. If you don’t know your blood pressure levels and want more information to determine if you might be at risk for high blood pres-sure, visit MeasureUpPres-sureDown.com. Or learn more about blood pressure at www.facebook.com/mea-sureuppressuredown or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/MUPDcampaign.

Jay Silverheels portrayed Tonto in TV’s “The Lone Ranger” wearing a simple headband across his fore-head. Johnny Depp amped up the character’s costume and topped off his movie-version headband with a dead crow. Critics said the affectation pained them greatly. But the latest head-band to hit the U.S. mar-ket — it’s been available in Canada and Europe for some time — may bring much-needed pain relief to the more than 30 million folks who contend with mi-graine headaches.

This battery-powered de-vice, newly approved by the Food and Drug Administra-tion, is designed to prevent migraine attacks, not treat them once they’ve started. It’s worn around the head like Silverheels’ headband, and during a daily 20-min-ute session, an electrode delivers programmed elec-trical impulses to branches of the trigeminal nerve that’s located in the center of the forehead, above the eyes. This three-part nerve is thought to play a role in triggering migraine and in transmitting the pain sensa-tions it causes.

Studies show that when used over several months, the headband cuts the num-ber of headache days in half (that’s a relief) and signifi-cantly reduces the use of migraine-attack medication. And just as important: Side effects from this novel mi-graine therapy are rare and minimal. Many migraine suffers can’t stomach po-tent migraine prevention and treatment medications, which can trigger burning or prickling sensations in hands and feet, chest pain, loss of appetite, abdominal

pain, dizziness, nausea and rebound headaches. So if you have migraine head-aches, ask your doctor about trying this new way to stop the pain before it begins.

ACING YOUR VEG-ETABLE SERVES

In the 2010 Wimbledon Championship, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut served up the tennis ball for 11 hours and 5 minutes — the longest match ever. (Isner won.) Now, that’s a lot of servings! And yet, people complain about having to eat nine or more servings of veggies and fruits a day!

The benefit of nine veg-gies a day is astounding. Seven servings (not even the nine we recommend) slash your risk of death at any point in time by 42 percent compared with folks who eat one serving a day. Fresh vegetables offer the best protection; each daily serv-ing reduces your overall risk of death by 16 percent (sal-ads by 13 percent) and each serving of fruit by 4 percent.

But only around 60 per-cent of you eat four servings of veggies a day at least four days a week. And french fries (your most favorite veggie) don’t win you any points! So here’s how you can ace your veggie-serves.

1. Start smart: At break-fast, try sliced tomatoes with 100 percent whole-grain toast; butternut squash pu-ree added to oatmeal. Get creative. (1 serving)

2. Snack smart: Midmorn-ing and afternoon grab car-rot and celery spears with

no-fat, no-sugar-added Greek yogurt or 1/4 cup hummus. (1-2 servings)

3. Lunch a bunch: Toss to-gether 2 cups greens (2 serv-ings), 1/4 cup tomato (1/2 serving), 2 tablespoons avo-cado (1/2 serving) and 1/4 cup blueberries (1/2 serv-ing). (3 1/2 servings)

4. Dinner — and it’s done: Enjoy mixed, steamed veg-gies (1 cup equals 2 serv-ings) with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

PREVENTING INJU-RIES IN YOUR SPRING TRAINING

This year, Major League Baseball revised its rules to prevent bone-jarring colli-sions at home plate between a base runner and the catch-er. That should make “The Boys of Summer” a lot safer during spring training — and the regular season.

You can make sure your spring training is safer too, and avoid muscle, tendon and joint pain. When you head outdoors for your daily walk or other physical activ-ities (after a winter spent in the gym, right?), make sure you start out slowly — with reduced speed and less ten-sion. This warms up your muscles and tendons and increases your range of mo-tion.

You also might try slow stretching; it improves cir-culation, increases blood flow to your muscles and helps joints, tendons and sinews become more flex-ible. It also improves pos-ture and balance (important for pain-free walking and

other activities). And prac-tice visualization: Imagine your muscles and tendons extending, getting more toned, as you exhale into the stretch. You will get maxi-mum results.

Want video guidance? Check out Joel Harpers’ Total Stretch on DrOz.com. Do the full 30 minutes or pick the moves that target your tightest areas, like your shoulders or hips.

Bonus stretch! Did you know intimacy (OK, sex) provides a great warm-up? Contrary to popular myth (sorry, Rocky!), experienc-ing orgasm does NOT re-duce stamina. In fact, sex-ual arousal increases blood flow to ALL your muscles, and if you’re energetic in the act you’ll ramp up your heart rate and loosen up your body. That’ll put some spring in your spring train-ing!

RX FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION

When Rosemary Butler belted out the chorus on Jackson Browne’s version of “Stay (Just a Little Bit Lon-ger)” almost four decades ago, a lot of 50- to 60-year-olds apparently decided to take that advice. There are now over 53,000 centenar-ians in the U.S. — a 66 per-cent increase in 30 years!

Advances in chronic dis-ease treatment and pre-vention are extending your lifespan, and increasing the number of medications you take: 75 percent of you, 65 or older, take drugs for at least two chronic disorders; almost a third of you take five or more medications; you also take 35 percent of all over-the-counter drugs. No wonder drug interac-tions are an increasing prob-lem.

A recent study found that combining prescription meds for high blood pres-sure (HBP) and osteoar-thritis is the most common cause of a risky drug inter-action. If you add a cox-2 inhibitor for pain on top of a beta blocker for HBP, the cox-2 inhibitor blocks the beta blocker; your blood pressure stays too high. Oth-er combos of prescription and/or OTC meds cause just as much trouble.

To minimize drug interac-tions:

1. Write down each pre-scription, non-prescription med and supplement you take.

2. Schedule time with your pharmacist to review your list, checking for drug interactions; take notes.

3. Take your list and notes to your primary care physi-cian. Create a wellness plan that includes stress manage-ment, walking and avoiding the Five Food Felons. This will reduce your need for chronic-disease meds. Medi-care and most insurance companies cover this visit annually without any copay.

STANDING UP WITH STATINS

Everything that goes up must come down — or so the saying goes. That’s certainly true of the stock market, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s popularity and the winner’s weight on “The Biggest Loser.” But sometimes the opposite is true.

When it comes to elevated levels of lousy LDL choles-terol, more than 32 percent of men in the U.S. can’t get their number down below 100mg/dL. And at the same time, 30 percent of guys 40-70 have erectile dysfunction. Coincidence? Nope. High

levels of LDL can clog any blood vessel, not just those in your heart, and make it difficult to achieve an erec-tion. Unless the LDL comes down ...

Well, it turns out there’s good news. Statins, the anti-cholesterol, anti-inflamma-tion medications taken by 15 percent of men in the U.S. ages 45-64 and the 50 percent of those 65-plus, don’t just help prevent car-diovascular disease, demen-tia and peripheral artery disease, they restore blood flow throughout the body, and that eases ED.

While it’s too soon to pre-scribe statins as ED therapy (not all ED is caused by circulatory problems; psy-chosocial issues need to be addressed through therapy), it’s one more reason why we say these are life-changing medications.

Other good news about potential benefits of statins: They may help prevent blood clots and reduce your risk of developing and dying from all cancers, plus they slash colon cancer chances by 47 percent. And combin-ing a statin with a daily low-dose aspirin (warm water before and after, but check with your doc first) may reduce a woman’s risk of breast cancer.

Youth Launch Commission programs promote youth activities Programs to safeguard

and promote youth activi-ties and advance senior volunteerism spring out to six southern Iowa com-munities from the Youth Launch Commission, which is located in the low-er level of Graceland Uni-versity’s Frederick Madi-son Smith Library.

The six counties served include Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Ringgold, Union and Wayne.

The mission of the Youth Launch Commis-sion is to “strengthen the culture of positive youth development and civic en-gagement in southern Iowa through education, volun-teerism and service.”

“Graceland University is proud to work with the Youth Launch Commis-sion,” said Greg Suther-land, executive director of Affiliate Relations at Graceland University. “We understand that there is nothing more important than to foster the positive growth of the next gen-eration so that they have successful and rewarding lives.”

Sutherland has respon-sibility for program devel-opment with Graceland’s various partners.

The Youth Launch Com-mission is one example of his oversight.

Just recently re-orga-

nized, the Youth Launch Commission, which is di-rected by Julie Neas, in-cludes four programs.

Neas oversees one of these programs, Youth Launch Leaders, which seeks to empower adults to create healthy, nurturing and supportive environ-ments for youths in south-ern Iowa.

Another program, AmeriCorps Youth Launch, directed by Shan-non Harris, provides op-portunities for students to lead successful, rewarding and productive lives.

AmeriCorps members

build valuable develop-mental assets, instill civic engagement, and help young people find the “sparks” that ignite their passions in life.

The Volunteer Center of Southern Iowa, lead by Amanda Edsall, strives to meet area needs and provide opportunities to strengthen community connectedness through volunteerism.

RSVP of Southern Iowa, lead by Jesse Bolinger, utilizes the skills, experi-ences and talents of people 55 and older to serve in a variety of volunteer activi-

ties.“We are fortunate to live

in some amazing commu-nities,” Neas said. “These communities not only be-lieve in themselves but also believe in paving the way for their youth and provid-ing fulfilling opportunities for their seniors. So many people have worked tire-lessly to put together the Youth Launch Commis-sion, and we owe them so much for their efforts.”

For more information about the Youth Launch Commission programs, visit www.graceland.edu/YLC.

Spend an evening with Mary Carrick and Todd Brooks CORNING — Singer Mary

Carrick and pianist Todd Brooks will make their de-but at the 1902 Corning Op-era House, 801 Davis Ave., Corning, 7 p.m. Saturday with a show that’s an eclectic blend of music from the Great American Songbook, lesser known gems and contempo-rary song, peppered with sur-prises. The concert comes as a precursor to the May release of Carrick’s debut recording “Let’s Fly.”

One of the region’s most versatile singers, Carrick is a familiar face and voice across the Omaha metropolitan area, having performed with Opera Omaha, Rose Theater, Omaha Symphony, Omaha Community Playhouse and with many other theaters and venues. She is in the process of releasing her debut album, “Let’s Fly,” a collection of songs spanning the American Songbook, cabaret, country, folk and more. The album is a collaboration with J. Gawf, resident music director of Op-era Omaha.

Carrick, along with her

cabaret partner Brooks, are touring artists with the Ne-braska Arts Council. In ad-dition, she is an arts educator and often holds residencies with area students in the com-munities where she performs. She maintains a website with her schedule and other news at www.marycarrick.com.

In addition to being a pianist, Brooks is an accom-plished actor, vocalist, direc-tor, music director, composer, playwright and arranger to his credits. He is active across the Omaha metro area, having worked with independent the-atre companies, colleges and universities.

Tickets may be purchased online through the opera house website or Facebook pages or at the State Bank of Brooks. Reserved seats are $17 for adults and $7 for stu-dents. Enter the code word “mary” and receive 10 percent off your tickets when ordering online only. The opera house website is www.CorningOp-eraHouse.com and email ad-dress is [email protected].

Topham 2ndDES MOINES — The

Drake Relays got under-way Thursday at Drake Stadium.

Griswold’s Rebekah Topham finished second in the 3,000 meter run. Topham crossed the line in 10:00.09, well behind Linn-Mar’s Stephanie Jenks, who shattered the all-time record with a 9:26.87. The previous record was set by Dowl-ing Catholic’s Katie Flood, who ran a 9:43.39 in 2010.

Topham was more than three seconds ahead of third-place Ka-rissa Schweizer of Dowl-ing Catholic.

Topham is sched-uled to run three more events, the 800 meter run on Friday afternoon, then the 1500 meter run and 400 meter hurdles on Saturday afternoon.Pineda suspended

NEW YORK — The MLB suspended New York Yankees pitch-er Michael Pineda on Thursday “for possess-ing a foreign substance on his person” dur-ing Wednesday night’s game against the Red Sox.

Pineda was ejected in the second inning when umpires and Red Sox manager John Farrell saw pine tar on the right side of his neck.

“I know I make a mis-take tonight, and I feel so sad,’’ Pineda said af-ter the game. “I learn from this mistake and I don’t do it again.’’

In his first start against Boston on April 10 at Yankee Stadium, Pine-da was accused of hav-ing a foreign substance on his wrist. Pineda said after it was a combina-tion of dirt and sweat he used to get a better grip of the ball.

Panther boys, Southwest Valley girls win at Pine Valley By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

The Creston/Orient-Macksburg boys golf team won a close contest with Shenandoah here at Pine Valley on Thursday, while Southwest Valley finishing a distant third.

On the girls side, South-west Valley edged the Pan-thers by nine strokes for the win.

The Panther boys shot a team score of 136, just ahead of Shenandoah’s 141. Southwest Valley finished with a team score of 169.

Individually, it was a four-person battle for the top two spots.

Creston/O-M senior C a r s o n Whitting-ton took m e d a l i s t honors by c a r d i n g a round of 1-un-der par 31, while

Southwest Valley’s Evan Baldwin took runner-up honors with his round of 1-over par 33.

Both Hunter Sickels of Creston/O-M and Jackson

Baker of Shenandoah fin-ished with rounds of 34.

Sam Hartsock recorded a round of 35 for the Pan-thers, while Maxx Walters and Coleton Hoepker each

shot rounds of 36. Christian Groumoutis carded a 37.

Freshman Kyle Somers led the Creston/O-M JV with a round of 33. The Pan-ther JV team recorded a

team score of 141.“We have always known

that this year was going to be very competitive within our team,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Kristopher “Kritter” Hayes said. “We have a lot of guys that can shoot a great score on any given day. Our guys were mentally tough in the cool, wet and windy conditions today. Coach (Jan) Lesan and I are very proud of all of them.”

For Southwest Valley, Ryan Carlson finished with a round of 44, followed by Christian Silva with a 45 and Jerod Kubley’s 47 to round out the team scoring.

“Evan Baldwin played probably his most aggressive round of the year,” S o u t h -west Val-ley head c o a c h Kent Bass

Panther girls win three events at Carroll By SCOTT VICKERCNA sports editor • [email protected]

CARROLL — The Cres-ton girls track team fin-ished fifth with 78 points here Thursday at the Tiger/Knight Relays, and was able to figure a few things out about itself in the process.

“A lot of girls answered a lot of questions we’ve been wondering about,” Cres-ton head coach Clay Arnold said. “Maybe we can switch some things around in the lineup from here on out.”

The Panthers won three events, including two relays.

The Creston 4x800 relay team of Maria Mostek, Jami Sickels, Natalie Mostek and Lexie Little ran 10:25.74 to run away from the competi-tion.

“I was pretty disap-pointed Harlan, Denison and Carroll, none of them brought their A lineups by any means,” Arnold said. “We were really looking for some good competition and didn’t get it.”

The Panthers ended the night by running away with the 4x400 crown, as well. That team consisted of Rae-gen Smith, Chelcee Down-

ing, Little and Natalie Mo-stek, running 4:21.90.

Natalie Mostek had her hand in all three event vic-tories for the Panthers, as she also won the 400 meter dash.

“First time all year,” Ar-nold said. “Didn’t really have much of a competition, but she ran a 1:04.68 for an open PR.”200 times

Arnold said one of the things that stood out for his team on Thursday was some of the 200 meter times his girls ran.

That was highlighted by a second-place performance in the 200 meter dash by Smith.

“Definitely, hands down, most impressive individual performance of the night was Raegen Smith in the 200 me-ter dash,” A r n o l d said. “She got sec-ond place, ran a 28.93 and looked re-ally good doing it. That’s her fastest open by far, and she really

hasn’t had much for splits around there in her life, either. We were really im-pressed with her quickness.”

Despite subpar handoffs, the Creston 4x200 relay team of Amber Castillo, Josie Sickels, Madison Cal-lahan and Jessica Beatty took fifth with its fastest time of the year in 1:58.91.

Josie Sickels ran a 28.41 split on the relay and Beatty anchored in 28.28.

“I was really happy with a lot of our 200s tonight,” Ar-nold said. “Josie ran a cou-ple really good 200s, Rae-gen ran that good 200 and Beatty ran an awesome 200. We’ve been really lacking in 200 speed, but we’re starting to figure some things out.”Doubling up

The Panthers were able to double up in several events.

Taylor Briley, in just her second race of the season, took second place in the 800 meters in 2:38.37, while Jami Sickels took fourth in 2:40.55.

“Old Briley made her debut in the open 800,” Arnold said. “I told her not to go out and kill it on that first lap, wanted her to take it easy. She ran a 1:19

first split, which is going to be too slow for her in the future. Then ran a negative of a 1:18.6 for a second place 2:38.37.”

Castillo finished fourth in the long jump with a leap of 14-7 and sophomore Sydney Suiter had a career best leap of 13-9.50 for fifth.

Creston also doubled up in the 400 hurdles as Castil-lo took fourth in 1:15.30 and Madison Hance finished sixth in 1:16.82, a new sea-son best.

The Panthers return to ac-tion Tuesday at Chariton.

“We’re going to look to put together some good relays and good individ-ual events,” Arnold said. “We’ve run some really nice times over there. It’s a pretty decent track if the weather is nice. That’s what we need, is as many nights of good weather as we can get the next two weeks.”

Generations must remember Pat Tillman — the ultimate patriot Nearly 30,000 people will assem-

ble in Tempe, Ariz., this weekend for the 10th annual Pat’s Run, a benefit for the foundation over-seen by Pat Tillman’s widow, Ma-rie.

There are at least 32 other simi-lar “shadow” runs celebrating Till-man’s spirit in cities throughout the country.

Tillman’s death by friendly fire on a remote mountain ridge in Afghanistan was on April 22, 2004. My old-est son Brett was a senior in high school. He turned 29 earlier this month.

It dawned on me this week there is a whole new generation of students today who don’t know directly of that tragic event in our nation’s histo-ry. Maybe only a passing glance at an ESPN mention on the anniver-sary, or perhaps something they’ve read.

Two things should not be forgot-

ten about Pat Tillman — 1) What he did for himself, and for this country, in paying the ultimate sacrifice; and 2) How the military brass mishandled the cover-up of what really happened.

I remember sitting in my living room, watching the emotional me-morial service on TV, under the impression he had been killed by enemy fire in combat while serv-ing with the Army Rangers on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in the remote areas of Afghanistan.

The military was painting him as the ultimate hero, choosing to face the enemy in a war he didn’t have to join. He could have accepted a $3.6 million contract to continue playing safety for the Arizona Car-dinals.

Basically, the initial news of his death was trumpted in a way that might stir many others to enlist.

So, it was kind of a bitter pill to swallow later, when the “real” ver-sion started reaching the public.

A report this week by ESPN by investigative reporter Mike Fish shed some light on the event, as Fish got fellow platoon member Steven Elliott on record saying what happened that evening in the dark shadows of a narrow moun-tain road. Also speaking on cam-era was Bryan O’Neal, who was then a 19-year-old member of the same platoon, standing right next to Tillman when the former foot-ball star was shot in the forehead by members of his own unit.

O’Neal, Tillman and Sayed Far-had, an allied Afghan soldier, had quickly climbed the ridge on Till-man’s order, to provide cover fire for the convoy below, which was under attack.

Unfortunately, they were mis-taken for the enemy. Communi-cation was difficult in the steep mountainous terrain and those in the vehicle below did not know of Tillman’s plan to help from above.

Tillman tried to shout to them below to stop shooting, and even

tossed up a smoke bomb as a sig-nal to stop shooting. The next instant, he was down with three fatal gunshot wounds. O’Neal, to this day, can’t walk by a water fountain, because the sound of the water gurgling is so similar to Till-man’s rapid blood loss.

Somehow, O’Neal was the only of the three to walk down from that ridge, having found cover be-hind a boulder. The guilt he felt turned him into an alcoholic for a time. He got help from counseling, and now trains Army Rangers.

Elliott, one of those firing at the men above, also developed a drinking problem and required extensive counseling. Both he an O’Neal married, divorced and re-married in the 10 years since.

The only sanctions against the shooters was to be removed from the Ranger unit and moved into the general Army corps.

It was a horrific screw-up, and worse yet was how it was con-cealed from the Tillman family. Kevin, Pat’s brother, was several hundred yards away as a member of the same Ranger unit, and did

not know the full story until weeks later.

This was tragic on so many lev-els.

Youngsters today probably couldn’t even imagine a Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year at Arizona State, NFL starting safety for the Cardinals, leaving millions of dollars on the table and a com-fortable home with his wife to join the U.S. Army. But that’s what he did in June 2002 in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Pro athletes just don’t do that, at least not since the World War II days of Bob Feller and Ted Wil-liams.

The legacy, now, is how Pat Till-man lived. Not how he died. The more you read about the man, the more inspired you become to do something meaningful with your life.

O’Neal, for example, called him a “big brother influence.” Tillman, 27 at the time, taught him the self-confidence, thirst for knowledge

Return home: University of Washington junior Katie Flood of West Des Moines Dowling Catholic leads Iowa State’s Crystal Nelson around the first turn during the anchor leg of the women’s University/College Division 4x1,600 meter relay at the Drake Relays on Thursday. Flood anchored Washington to victory in her return home to Drake Stadium. Earlier in the evening, Flood’s all-time Iowa best in 3,000 meters was broken by Linn-Mar’s Stephanie Jenks, who ran 9:26.87.

and love of books that he’d developed. Tillman ques-tioned authority, delved deeply into the meaning of various religions. Yet, he was one of the hardest hit-ters in a violent sport. A complicated man.

The foundation involved in Saturday’s 4.2-mile run (Tillman’s number was 42 and the race ends at the 42-yard-line of Sun Devil Stadium) has handed out 290 scholarships to military veterans and their families worth nearly $5 million.

Now, that’s meaningful. I have a hunch it’s the one positive development Till-man would have seen come from all of this. The secrecy and cover-ups in the after-math would have sickened him. He was a no-BS guy.

Perhaps, through these scholarships, other soldiers

will find the success that was his destiny before his life was tragically cut short.

And to today’s students, try to remember, in this age when so many big-time athletes go astray, this was a rock-solid guy who was a true hero/role model.

And frankly, I don’t see how you don’t find a place for Pat Tillman in the Pro

Football Hall of Fame. Heck, he’s in the Life Hall of Fame.

said. “Several birdies and bogeys equaled a 1-over par, good enough for run-ner-up. Our team score is

yet to be where we want it, but young kids continue to step up and perform at key points.”Girls

On the girls side, South-

west Valley edged out Creston/O-M 186-195 for the team win.

Just like on the boys side, it was a four-person battle for the top two spots in girls action.

Creston/O-M senior Sar-ah Waigand won medalist honors with her round of 44, while Southwest V a l l e y ’ s T a y l o r D a m e -w o o d f i n i s h e d r u n n e r -up with a round of 45.

Shelby Palser of Creston/O-M and Kim Hults of Southwest Val-ley each recorded rounds of 46.

Rounding out the team scoring for the Panthers were Camryn Somers with a 52 and Hannah Hagle with a 53.

“I am so proud of our team,” Waigand said. “We are having so much fun playing and feel like we are improving each day.

Things are starting to click for me, especially. Being a senior, it feels good know-ing all we have worked on is showing up in our meets.”

Southwest Valley’s team scoring was rounded out by Kelsie Kinman’s 47 and Gentry Johannes’ 48.

“Taylor Damewood con-tinues her hot streak with a 45,” Bass said. “Season and personal bests by Kim Hults, Janelle Gibler and Bellamy Heaton prove this team can compete with anyone.”
