(MCT) — Two U.S. fighter jets bombed Sun-ni militant forces in northern Iraq this morning, launching the first major U.S. military action in the country since combat troops left three years ago.

In a statement issued Friday morning, the Pen-tagon said two FA-18 Hornets dropped laser-guided bombs on artillery that had fired on Kurd-ish forces near Irbil, the Kurdish regional capitol. Militants of the Islamic State have been advanc-ing toward the city in recent days.

The fighter jets dropped 500-pound laser-guid-ed bombs on a “mo-bile artillery piece,” being used by the militants, Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pen-tagon spokesman, said.

The attack oc-curred only hours af-ter President Obama announced he had authorized air strikes to protect around 100 U.S. military ad-visors in Irbil and to halt the advance of the militants.

“ISIL was using this artillery to shell Kurdish forces defending Irbil where U.S. personnel are located,” Kirby said.

“As the president made clear, the United States military will continue to take direct action against ISIL when they threaten our personnel and facili-ties,” Kirby said, referring to the militant group by its acronym.

He did not say if the artillery had been de-stroyed.

The Islamic State group, also known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Lebanon, is a radical Sunni armed force that has seized control of large swaths of Syria and northern and western Iraq. Its forces took control of Mosul, Iraq’s second-larg-est city, earlier this summer and have advanced in recent days toward the autonomous region controlled by the Kurds in the mountainous area

OPPOSING SIGNALS

� Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s tentative agreement could lead to one-man crews . The agreement would eliminate the conductor.

By JAKE WADDINGHAMCNA associate [email protected]

B NSF Railway has reached a tentative agreement with its largest labor union to allow a one-

man crew to drive trains that are equipped with a federal mandated safety system.

The agreement with the In-ternational Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transporta-tion Workers General Committee 001 known as SMART-TD — for-merly the United Transportation Union — is subject to ratification by its members. Ballots are expect-ed to be sent out this month.

“We have reached an agreement with SMART-TD dealing com-prehensively with the major issues facing rail transportation ground service employees in the 21st cen-tury,” BNSF Railway said in a statement sent to the Creston News Advertiser. “The tentative agree-ment, subject to union membership ratification, will allow for locomo-tive engineers to operate freight trains with the remote support of a new master conductor, instead of a conventional on-board conduc-tor on BNSF routes where Positive Train Control (PTC) is in use.”

The president of the SMART transportation division, John Pre-

visich, wrote a statement against the agreement that said, “No one would permit an airliner to fly with just one pilot, even though they can fly themselves. Trains, which can-not operate themselves, should be no different.”

Currently, all trains on BNSF Railway require a conductor and an engineer. The agreement would eliminate the conductor and the en-gineer would work with assistance from a “master conductor” work-ing from a control center and the PTC safety system on 60 percent of BNSF Railways, including trains that pass through Creston.

PTC is a satellite-guided system of sensors and computers man-dated by Congress in 2008. It helps stop, slow and reroute trains.

“Positive Train Control is a safe-ty overlay, it is not a safety replace-ment,” said Jim Garrett, a BNSF engineer from Creston. “It should not be, and cannot be a replace-ment for another set of eyes, an-other set of ears for the conductor in the cab.”

Garrett has worked for the rail-road for 35 years, serving 20 years in Creston as an engineer.

The Federal Railroad Admin-istration (FRA) does not have a minimum staffing rule at this time.

“If this agreement passed, the only people that will have the pow-er or authority to create a two-man

or one-man crew will be the BNSF Railroad or the FRA,” Garrett said. “At that point, the SMART organization won’t have any say in changing the terms of that agree-ment.”Shrinking crew

When Garrett started with BNSF Railway, crews consisted of four or five people depending on if the train had a firefighter on

MEETING SCHEDULEDA meeting for railroaders and community members who are concerned about this tentative agreement is slated for 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25 at Supertel Inn and Confer-ence Center in Creston.

QUOTED“There has been talk ever since I came to Creston that BNSF wants to close this terminal down and move the crew base to Lincoln. This may be the impetus that they need to move.”

WEEKEND EDITION

By KYLE WILSON CNA managing editor [email protected]

An Omaha development company wants to purchase Lincoln School in Creston.

That is the reason a special Creston City Council meeting has been scheduled 4:30 p.m. today at the restored Creston Depot.

City officials said the Omaha developer has plans of purchas-ing and refurbishing Lincoln School into elderly housing — similar to housing that exists currently at the Iowana Hotel in uptown Creston.

City officials have not yet disclosed how much money the company has offered for the old school building and land. More details are expected to be pub-licized at Friday’s special meet-ing.

Of course, this possible pur-chase is unwelcome news for Creston Library Board who is in the middle of fundraising efforts to transform Lincoln

School into the city’s new li-brary. They’ve currently raised about $400,000 of the estimated $1.8 million needed for renova-tions.

The special meeting today will ask the council to vote for or against setting a public hear-ing to sell Lincoln School to the

John Emerson Knoxville

John Emerson, 69, of Knoxville, formerly of Fon-tanelle, died Aug. 7, 2014, at

Knoxville Hospital in Knox-ville.

Celebration of life ser-vices are pending at Powers Funeral Home, junction of highways 34 and 25, Creston.

Betty Hobbs Creston

Betty Hobbs, 93, of Cres-ton died Aug. 7, 2014, at her home in Creston.

C e l -e b r a t i o n of life ser-vices will be 1 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, at United Church of Christ (Congre-gational) in Creston. The Rev. Jim Woodworth and Ron Levine will officiate. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery at a later date. There will be no formal visi-tation or viewing scheduled. Memorials may be given to Gibson Memorial Library or the United Church of Christ (Congregational) of Creston. Online condolences may be left at www.powersfh.com.

Betty Hobbs, daughter of Beulah Irene (Harmon) and Cleo Glenn Doolittle, was born Nov. 16, 1920, in Gris-wold.

After graduating from high school, Betty went on

to Peru State Junior College and then on to Drake to com-plete her bachelor’s degree and later went to Northwest Missouri State University.

Betty began her teach-ing career while working in Baxter and later rural Lewis School.

On Oct. 19, 1942, Betty married Russell Hobbs in Papillion, Neb. They settled in the Newton area where she worked in a dress shop. Betty continued her teaching career in Kelly for a short time before moving to Coon Rapids.

In 1945, Betty moved to Creston where she taught fourth grade for 40 years.

Betty was a member of the United Church of Christ (Congregational) of Cres-ton, Bancroft History Club, P.E.O. and former member of the Gibson Memorial Li-brary Board.

Betty is survived by her niece Sue Anne (husband Bob) Cubr of Troy, Mont.

Betty was preceded in death by her parents, hus-band in 2012; and brother and sister-in-law, Hilaire and Phyllis Doolittle.

board.He said moving up the

ranks was a slow process, starting out as a head brakeman before building up enough seniority to be the rear brakeman on the caboose.

The next step was con-ductor and finally an engi-neer.

Eventually, technology was able to get rid of the caboose. Garrett said the biggest cuts to crew size started in 1991.

“In the past, changes to crew consist was hard to argue to maintain that size with technology,” Garrett said. “We have come to the least common denomi-nator (two people in the cab). It cannot be operated safer with one less person in the cab.”

In the BNSF statement, it claims the plan will en-hance safety by providing a more predictable work schedule with assigned on-duty times and specific territories for the “master conductors” to monitor and assist if necessary.

“You learned every-thing through years of ex-periences,” Garrett said. “There are thousands of things you need to know to operate a train between

here and Lincoln, Neb., and only a fraction of that is in the rule book. The rest of it is what’s called ‘tribal knowledge.’ It is the things that you learn with experience.”

Local impactWhile a more predict-

able schedule for engi-neers would be beneficial to reduce fatigue, it could mean a major reduction in staff in Creston.

Creston currently has a

double-ended pool, mak-ing it impossible to create a set schedule. Garrett said the agreement could potentially move engineer jobs to Lincoln, Neb., to create a single-ended pool.

“There has been talk ever since I came to Cres-ton that BNSF wants to close this terminal down and move the crew base to Lincoln,” Garrett said. “This may be the impetus that they need to move.”

A meeting for railroad-ers and concerned commu-nity members is slated for 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25 at Su-pertel Inn and Conference Center in Creston.

“Therein lies one of the important things about this agreement, it’s not what’s in it, it’s what’s not in it,” Garrett said. “It’s like Swiss cheese, it’s full of holes. There are a lot of unanswered questions about what will happen.”

WHO declares Ebola a worldwide ‘public health emergency’ (MCT) — The Direc-

tor-General of the World Health Organization on Friday declared the West African Ebola outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and called for both affected and unaffected countries to implement a coordinated international response that features a wide range of new safety measures, in-cluding travel restrictions for some and a plan to re-turn infected health work-ers to their home countries.

One of the highest-level emergency declarations that the WHO can issue was made by Dr. Marga-ret Chan following a two-day conference in Geneva, Switzerland, where a panel of health experts unani-mously recommended the action after hearing reports from the West African na-tions of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria where the outbreak is cen-tered.

Growing numbers of health experts had been calling for a firm interna-tional response to the worst Ebola crisis in history, which has claimed 932 lives and likely infected more than 1,700 people.

The WHO has asked all countries to take a series of varied actions with the most stringent recommen-dations reserved for coun-tries where the disease is

actively being transmitted and those that either have a potential or confirmed case of Ebola or share a border with either of the four affected West African nations.

In those four countries, WHO recommends exit screening for all people at-tempting to leave the coun-try at international airports, seaports and major land crossings. The screenings should include at the mini-mum, a series of questions, body temperature measure-ments and a risk assessment of whether any high fever is caused by Ebola.

“Any person with an ill-ness consistent with Ebola should not be allowed to travel unless the travel is part of an appropriate med-ical evaluation,” according to WHO press statement.

Similar international travel restrictions are rec-ommended for Ebola pa-tients and persons who were in contact with infect-ed people. Confirmed Ebo-la cases should be isolated at treatment centers with no national or international travel until two diagnostic tests conducted at least 48 hours apart are negative. People in contact with in-fected persons, excluding properly protected health workers and laboratory staff who have had no un-protected exposure, should be monitored daily with re-

stricted national travel and no international travel for three weeks after exposure.

The WHO also calls on the leaders of affected West African countries to de-clare a national emergency and personally address the nation about the crisis.

Health ministers in these countries are urged to meet regularly with affected communities and visit Eb-ola patient treatment cen-ters.

For unaffected countries that share borders with the four West African nations, WHO recommends surveil-lance to find clusters of un-explained fever or deaths, providing access to labs qualified to test for Ebola and establishing “rapid re-sponse teams” to investi-gate and manage suspected and confirmed Ebola cases.

Any such findings should be treated as medical emer-gencies with action taken in the first 24 hours to stop a potential outbreak.

The WHO recommends that all other countries should not impose a gen-eral ban on international travel or trade, but should

implement WHO’s sug-gested travel precautions for Ebola patients and their contacts. All countries should also provide trav-elers to at-risk areas with information about the in-herent health risks, how to minimize those risks and advice on how to manage a potential exposure.

All countries should also be “prepared to detect, investigate and manage Ebola cases, provide ac-cess to labs that screen for Ebola “and, where appro-priate, provide the capac-ity to “manage travelers” from infected areas who arrive with unexplained symptoms of the disease. The WHO also calls on all countries to facilitate the evacuation and repatria-tion of their citizens, par-ticularly health workers, who have been exposed to the disease.

Police find man with meth-making ingredients at Iowa City apartment

(MCT) — A North Liber-ty man faces up to 10 years in prison after being found with meth-making ingredi-ents back in April.

Members of the Johnson County Drug Task Force served a search warrant at 1257 Slothower Ave. in Iowa City on April 7, according to North Liberty police crimi-nal complaints. Investigators discovered meth labs and in-gredients in the residence.

The items seized were fin-gerprinted and matched the prints of 32-year-old Clin-ton R. Lake, of 66 Golfview Court in North Liberty, po-lice said. A witness also told investigators that Lake was at the residence while meth was being manufactured. He

faces charges of possession of lithium and possession of pseudoephedrine, which are each Class D felonies and punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

Both face one count of possession of a controlled substance precursor, a Class D felony. English faces an additional charge of pos-session of a controlled substance, a serious mis-demeanor. English and Barkalow have pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial.

Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014ARIES (March 21 to April

19) For some reason, children are an increased responsibility for you today. Or you might feel overwhelmed with social obligations or something to do with the arts or the entertain-ment world. Courage!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with partners and family members are not easy today. Someone older or more experienced will block your wishes. You can’t do anything about this today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be worried about something today, because you sense that something will be difficult. Obstacles block your path. Just wait a few days, and try again.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Financial matters look bleak today. (Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?) You cannot push things through. Just wait.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Duties and responsibilities loom large today. In fact, life might seem

depressing and restrictive. Just cope until things lighten up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Physically and psychologically, your energies are at a low ebb right now. If you are aware of this, don’t push the river. Just wait until things change before you move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone older or in a posi-tion of authority might restrict you now or block your efforts. Naturally, this is discouraging. But things look worse than they really are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to challenge authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers or the police. Today they hold the upper hand. (But this will not always be the case.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans look dif-ficult today. If you can avoid travel, this would be best. Don’t push to get your way in matters regarding publishing, media, medicine and the law.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is not a good day to make decisions about inheri-tances, shared property, taxes and debt. Things will flow against you. Postpone these discussions for at least a week, or longer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.

18) Tread softly in discussions with bosses, partners and good friends, because things will not flow smoothly. Others will block your plans and wishes. Knowing this ahead of time, why even begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to get your way at work. Someone will tell you why you cannot do some-thing. It’s discouraging, but it’s a temporary reality.

YOU BORN TODAY You can be a tower of strength for oth-ers. Although a natural lead-

er, you’re an excellent team player as well. You are skilled at debate and can persuade others to do your bidding. Altruistic values are important to you. This year will be a fun-loving, social time for you, during which all your relation-ships will improve. Try to clear out debt as well.

Birthdate of: Sam Elliott, actor; Melanie Griffith, actress; Juanes, singer/humanitarian.

Dear Readers: How many FIRE EXTINGUISHERS are in your home? If you live in a house, you should have several: at least one in the liv-ing areas, one in the kitchen and one in the garage. If you live in an apartment or condo, you should have a fire extin-guisher, maybe even two.

There are a couple of things you can do to check if the fire extinguisher is still functional. Inspect the pin to see that it is in the right place. If it’s not or it is damaged, you MUST get a new extinguisher.

Check that the extinguisher is at the right pressure. There is a gauge to see that the nee-dle is in the green “zone.” If it is not, the pressure is “off,” and you need to replace the extinguisher.

Please heed this advice. Tear this column out right now and post it someplace where you will see it to remind you. You don’t want to have a fire, grab the extinguisher and have it be a dud! You never know — it can happen to you! — Heloise

HeloiseP.O. Box 795000San Antonio, TX 78279-

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

com TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise: If you plan

to fly and then rent a car on your trip, when you get to your destination, go to a store and purchase an inexpensive foam cooler. It will keep your drinks and snacks cool while you sightsee. On your last night, unload the cooler and leave it in your hotel room with a note to either discard or keep. — Sherry G., Cecil, Ala.

HOT AIR RISESDear Heloise: Vehicles

equipped with a sunroof can be cleared of hot air by open-ing the sunroof immediately upon entering the vehicle. Hot air rises, so the air is hot-test in the upper area of a ve-hicle. Opening the windows helps the airflow even more. — Becky in Mississippi

SUN SLEEVEDear Heloise: While driving

my car, my left arm became

sunburned. I cut off the long sleeve of an old shirt, hemmed the cut end and slipped it over my left arm. No more sun-burn with my “sun sleeve.” — Kathleen Jerz, Fairfax, Va.

TWO PLANTS AT ONCEDear Heloise: I have sever-

al hanging plants and hated all the water that dripped from them and was wasted. I de-vised a method that not only cuts down on waste, but saves me time as well. I place one of my potted plants under the hanging plant, then I water the hanging plant. The water that drips from the hanging one falls into the potted plant below. Voila! Two plants wa-tered at once. — Wendy in Alabama

HIGH VENTSDear Heloise: I have a hard

time reaching the air-condi-tioning vents to adjust them because they are so high up on the wall. The last time I had a broom that was no longer good, I saved the handle. Now I can easily use the handle the reach the vents and adjust them. No more getting out chairs and trying to reach. — G.D., via email

COMMUNITYCOMMUNITY


Teenage angst is big at the box office: Millions of dollars have been made off a sulky James Dean in “East of Eden,” a grumpy Judd Nelson in “The Break-fast Club,” and the intrigu-ing Ellar Coltrane in this summer’s “Boyhood.” But while you may pay to see adolescents acting out on the big screen, back home you’re probably hoping for children with fewer emo-tional upsets. Well, one way to help your kids feel good about themselves and their life is to encourage them to participate in school sports teams. Joining a team helps protect teens from stress and depression, which af-flict an estimated 23 percent to 40 percent of kids ages 12-17.

As a team member, kids form strong friendships and they learn to think not just about their own needs, but the needs of their team-mates. Equally important, they’re physically active. Regular exercise dispels stress, improves self-im-age and protects kids (and adults) from chronic illness-es, like Type 2 diabetes, that are linked to depression.

Fortunately, a record number of children are ben-efiting: In 2013, 3.2 million girls and 4.5 million boys were participating in school sports — including cheer-leading, track and field, and swimming.

But what if your teen-ager won’t go out for school sports? Suggest other team activities: chess club, sci-ence club or debate team, for example. Your child will still benefit from being on a team. Just make sure he or she also makes a com-mitment to get physically active. Bowling? Archery? Jogging? There’s something

for everyone! That way your child will stay happy and healthy.

MAJOR REVIEW OF VACCINE SAFETY OF-FERS GOOD NEWS

Actor Frank Langella gave Barbara Walters the chickenpox a couple of years ago when he kissed her just as he was coming down with shingles! Appar-ently Langella didn’t get the shingles vaccine (available since 2006) and Walters, who never had chickenpox as a child (the varicella vac-cine wasn’t available until 1995), was never inoculated.

Not only do vaccines reduce misery, they save lives and are cost-effective. In 2009 alone, vaccinating kids in the U.S. against a wide range of illnesses pre-vented an estimated 42,000 deaths and 20 million cases of disease; along the way they saved $13.5 billion in health-care costs.

But some folks worry vac-cines are dangerous, and avoid getting them or inocu-lating their children. That’s why it’s such good news that a recent study in the journal Pediatrics found that seri-ous complications from vac-cines are extremely rare and the evidence is very strong that the measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine is NOT associated with au-tism. It also bluntly identi-fied serious adverse events that have happened (very, very infrequently): MMR vaccines have triggered fe-brile seizures; the varicella vaccine is associated with complications when given to

someone with immune defi-ciency; and rotavirus vac-cines may be related (again rarely) to gastrointestinal blockages. Vaccines are not absolutely safe, but weigh-ing all the data, the benefits of vaccinations exceed the risks by about 40,000 to 1.

So, talk to your doc to see if you need shingles and pneumonia vaccines, as well as boosters for whooping cough, tetanus, etc. And for children, let’s give kids pro-tection from disease.

T E M P O R A R I L Y GASSY VEGETARIANS LIVE LONGER, AND THEY’RE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!

“Beans, beans, the mu-sical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel. So eat your beans at every meal!” That school-yard rhyme contains some nutritional truth, because, if you’re like most fiber-deprived North Americans, adding veggies to your diet can (for a while) increase production in your gas pipe-line.

On the other hand, if you become a bean-loving vegetarian, you’ll cut your dependence on all that’s involved in raising animals (including their gas pro-duction), which in turn can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Another benefit? A vegetarian diet helps you live longer!

According to data from the Adventist Health Study 2 — a group of 96,000 peo-ple, half of whom were meat eaters and half of whom

were vegans, vegetarians or semi-vegetarians who ate meat less than once a week — veggie lovers live younger and longer. In fact, the mortality rate for meat eaters (during the study) was 20 percent higher than for folks who ate little or no meat.

So, if worry about “toot-ing” is keeping you from becoming vegetarian or semi-vegetarian, consider this: Eating foods such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and beans may cause flatu-lence, but it also fights co-lon cancer, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity! And over time, your body adjusts: One study found that while 35 percent of new bean eaters reported increased flatulence, only 3 percent said it was still a problem by week eight. Also, if you rinse canned beans, you remove most of the trouble-making chemi-cals and still get a nutrition-al bonanza.

THE MAGIC OF MUSHROOMS

In John Tenniel’s 1865 illustrations for Lewis Caroll’s “Alice in Won-derland,” 3-inch-tall Alice encounters a hookah-smok-ing caterpillar sitting on a mushroom: “One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter,” the crea-ture tells her. Back then, that bit of fantasy gave the homely looking mushroom a reputation as a source of magic powers. Now, 150 years later, we know just how packed with real power such fungi are — they can grow your body’s immune strength and cancer-fighting ability.

Mushrooms also deliv-er a good dose of vitamin D, including D-2 and D-3. They

make it, like humans do, when exposed to sunlight or zapped with UV light in the controlled environment of a mushroom farm. Three ounces of maitake mush-rooms contains over 900 IU of vitamin D; three ounces of shitake, almost 130 IU. Most varieties also contain potassium, copper, ribofla-vin, niacin and folate, plus bioactive compounds (phe-nols, sterols and triterpenes) that may help control blood sugar and cholesterol lev-els, fight inflammation and battle infection. Crimini and Portobello mushrooms are packed with as many an-tioxidants and polyphenols as carrots, green beans, red peppers and broccoli.

Try adding some to soups, stews and pasta sauc-es; feast on marinated and grilled Portobello “burg-ers”; and mix ground mush-rooms with lentils, black beans and sweet potatoes for a tasty veggie burger. Tip: To be safe (and avoid an Alice moment or worse), don’t pick wild mushrooms. To reap health benefits, stick with farm-raised vari-eties, and eat them cooked, not raw.

NEW DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME

When a low-energy Cher was finally diagnosed with CFS/ME (chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic en-cephalomyelitis) in 1992, she stopped performing for three years; and CFS side-lined Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a year, too. But they’re not alone. This hard-to-handle ail-ment affects 1 million North Americans (mostly women 40-60) and leaves victims fa-tigued and often in pain, un-able to think clearly and less able to take care of daily

tasks. CFS seems to develop after an infection with a vi-rus or bacteria, or even as a result of an imbalance in gut bacteria.

Up to now, the only way a doctor could diagnose CFS was to eliminate other causes of symptoms and see if your fatigue, unrelieved by sleep, persisted for six months. But a recent study shows a brain PET scan may identify people with CFS quickly and accurately. Turns out people with diag-nosed CFS have widespread nerve cell inflammation, particularly in brain areas related to fatigue, pain and thought processing. No such inflammation is seen in PET scans of the brain of healthy folks.

While there’s no Food and Drug Administration-approved medication to treat CFS (meds just man-age symptoms), there are dietary changes that may ease brain inflammation. Avoid saturated fats in meats, poultry skin, and palm and coconut oil. Also, eliminate added sugars and sugar syrups; up your in-take of omega-3s from fish like salmon and by taking a 900 IU daily supplement of DHA algal oil; plus, eat cytokine-suppressing cel-ery, artichokes and green peppers. Now, that’s using your brain!

Ick factor - Why you may be struggling to get rid of those pesky head lice(BPT) — Whether your

kids are off to summer camp, you’re gearing up for back-to-school, there is snow on the ground or flowers are blooming, you may find yourself dealing with a case of head lice. An estimated 6 million to 12 million head lice infesta-tions occur each year in the United States alone, most commonly among children 3 to 11 years old, accord-ing to the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion. Since head lice move by crawling and are mainly spread by head-to-head contact, children in close quarters are often the main form of transportation for these tiny, wingless critters.

Although they are not dangerous and do not carry disease, head lice can be a nuisance. One challenge you may face are treat-ments that don’t work the first time. Head lice treat-ment failure can have a number of possible causes, including not following ap-plication directions and emergence of treatment-resistant head lice.

A recent study examining treatment-resistant head lice published in the Jour-nal of Medical Entomology showed that many of the 291 head lice collected from 84 subjects located in 12 U.S. states, possessed a ge-netic mutation referred to as knockdown resistance, or simply the kdr muta-tion. The kdr mutation is one trait that allows lice to continue to thrive after be-ing treated with pyrethrins or pyrethroids, the active ingredients in some over-the-counter head lice treat-ments. Although based on small numbers, the data suggests that the presence of the mutation has in-creased in the last several years. If the prevalence of the genetic mutation con-tinues to increase, the way in which we approach head lice treatment may need to be reassessed.

So, how do you know which head lice treatment to choose?

“With the rates of treat-ment-resistant head lice ap-pearing to be on the rise, it is important for parents to

educate themselves about the available options for managing an infestation,” says study co-author John Clark, PhD, a professor of environmental toxicology and chemistry at the Uni-versity of Massachusetts Amherst. “Head lice treat-ments that do not contain permethrin or pyrethrum, including prescription op-tions, may offer an effective solution to controlling head lice.”

Knowing knockdown re-sistance is a growing con-cern, healthcare providers can offer valuable infor-mation on the presence of treatment-resistant lice in your community and avail-able head lice treatment options approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-ministration, with a range of safety and efficacy pro-files and application in-structions. While calling your child’s physician or another healthcare provid-er may not be your initial reaction, it might be worth it to pause and pick up the phone to learn more.

THE NUMBERS GAME

PGA opensLOUISVILLE, Ky.

— Lee Westwood fol-lowed up a season-best 63 four days ago at Fire-stone by matching his best score in a major championship. He made nine birdies at Valhalla for a 6-under 65, giving him a share of the PGA Championship lead with Ryan Palmer and Kevin Chappell.

One shot behind was Rory McIlroy, the No. 1 player and overwhelm-ing favorite in the final major of the year. Mc-Ilroy, coming off back-to-back wins at the Brit-ish Open and a World Golf Championship, overcame a wild double bogey on the par-5 10th hole by running off four straight birdies. He set-tled for a 66, a solid start in his bid to become only the seventh player to win the last two ma-jors of the year.

Tiger Woods opened with a 3-over 74. He hit two tee shots that missed the fairway by some 30 yards, hooked a 3-wood into a creek and hit a spectator with his tee shot on a par 3. His two best putts were for par and bogey.Agreement

CLEVELAND — LeBron James and Kev-in Love won Olympic gold medals together. They’re about to team up again, this time to try and end Cleveland’s 50-year championship drought. Love will soon be on his way from Min-nesota to Cleveland af-ter the teams reached an agreement in principle to a trade.

Sports editor Scott Vicker wrote a column last week about his mar-athon week involving 840 miles traveled to cover the likes of the State Softball Tournament in Fort Dodge and five area athletes and a coach in the Iowa Shrine Bowl at Cedar Falls.

The reason he was left with all of those duties, without my help, was a father-son trip of a lifetime that was planned in December. I knew it wouldn’t be a great time for me, professionally, but there was no way I was letting the opportunity pass.

I always felt lucky that I was able to share my interest in base-ball with my two sons. But one trip we never made as a family was to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Coo-perstown, N.Y.

The logistics of pulling that to-gether now presented challenges. Brett, 29, lives in Nashville with wife Shawna and is busy as a mem-ber of the administrative staff of

a large YMCA in Brentwood. Keith, 26, lives in Davenport with wife Kelsey and is likewise busy as a financial analyst for Modern Woodmen of America in Rock Is-land, Ill.

But, last fall I started to think that something very special in our baseball passion could come to-gether. I had a pretty good hunch that former Braves pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux would be elected to the Hall of Fame. As a young lefty who became a die-hard Braves fan in the early 1990s, Brett took a particular lik-ing to Glavine, the Braves’ crafty southpaw.

Keith’s favorite player from his favorite team, former White Sox

slugger Frank Thomas, was also eligible for election to the Hall of Fame. I thought he had a good chance, too, but I was less certain.

In the back of my mind, I started to prepare a proposal to them that we do a father-son journey to New York if both Glavine and the Big Hurt were elected.

In December, the announce-ment sealed the deal. Not only were Glavine, Maddux and Thom-as elected for 2014 induction, but also former managers Bobby Cox, Tony LaRussa and Joe Torre. Now, we all had someone of inter-

est. Cox, of course, made it a tri-fecta for Braves fans, and LaRussa and Torre both had ties to my Car-dinals.

They were both on board with clearing their schedules in late July and making a long weekend of it. The stars were aligned for a trip of a lifetime.

What are the odds that my son’s favorite two players would go in the Hall of Fame together? And, at the same time as two managers from my favorite team!

I owe Scott Vicker big-time for dumping all of the sports coverage

that weekend on his lap, but this opportunity was too good to pass up.

We decided to all meet in Dav-enport and hold our annual Pe-terson Open golf tournament on Thursday after Keith got off work. Brett flew into the Quad Cities and I drove over from Creston.

On Friday morning we drove to Chicago Midway Airport for a flight to Albany, N.Y. (On the way we stopped at a truck stop in

DeKalb and five busloads of Cubs fans poured in. They were on their way to the Cubs-Cardinals series that weekend. The blue invasion was alarming to a Cardinal fan! I think my tweet called it “horrific.”)

We rented a car and drove across northern New York to Utica, about 45 miles north of Cooper-stown. (Rooms are quickly snatched up in the tiny vil-lage of Cooperstown, pop. 1,600.)

The neat part about stay-ing in Utica is that one of my college roommates went to Whitesboro High School, just a couple of miles west of our Days Inn in Utica. We even got to sample the food at Joe’s Pizza, a legendary local spot known for its to-mato pie recipe. I would never imagine dining in Al Minnegerode’s hometown when I met him 36 years ago in Iowa City’s Hillcrest Dorm. But there I was, an-other surreal moment from this adventure.Busy Saturday

Our Cooperstown expe-rience started on Saturday, the eve of the induction. Swarms of baseball fans had descended on this scenic vil-lage. We stood in line to see the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum and found out lat-er we were part of a crowd of 6,700 visitors that day, second only to the crowd in 2007 when Cal Ripken Jr., and Tony Gwynn were in-ducted.

Taking a short break at a hot dog stand on Main Street early in the after-noon, we spent a total of

four and a half hours brows-ing the three floors of ex-hibits, watching videos and perusing the Hall of Fame plaques. I was enthralled with all of the history at my fingertips, and I think Brett and Keith were likewise im-pressed.“The Catch”

I found myself stopping and staring at the glove used by Willie Mays when he made that infamous over-the-shoulder catch on a drive by Vic Wertz in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series, one of sport’s historic mo-ments.

“Willie Mays was one of my favorites,” I explained to Nate Tenopir of the Atlantic News-Telegraph, interview-ing me about the family trip. “The glove he used for the catch of the Vic Wertz fly ball, when he wheeled and threw it back to the infield ... I just sat there and looked at the glove that made that catch. I’ve been watching that catch my whole life.”

Brett was enthralled with the impressive Babe Ruth exhibit area, with so many articles and historical arti-facts to observe. Keith saw

a lot of White Sox history on exhibit, including their World Series championship rings from 2005.

We could have spent an-other full day in there, truth-fully, and not gotten bored.

After leaving the build-ing late in the afternoon, we knew we had a couple of hours to kill in downtown Cooperstown before the Pa-rade of Legends down Main Street. Brett had been on-line investigating the sched-ule of autograph sessions scheduled at various loca-tions.

Fortunately for me, time hadn’t expired for an ap-pearance by Cardinals Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith in a local restaurant. He was signing directly across the table from for-mer Red Sox and White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk.

Brett, meanwhile, got in a huge line to get an au-tograph of former Braves pitcher John Smoltz, a like-ly inductee in 2015. (Each of these autographs had a price, so you had to be ju-dicious in selecting them. Also, new inductees were busy and unavailable for au-tograph appearances until Monday, when we would be departing.)

When it was my turn for Ozzie’s autograph, I men-tioned to him that I had seen him at a Clarinda A’s banquet in the 1980s, when he told me about his unique Rawlings six-finger fielding glove. That perked his at-tention a little and he smiled as he signed my baseball.Legends parade

Our run of good luck all weekend continued when it was time for the parade. The corner we just happened to pick as a viewing spot turned out to be the exact location where emcee Gary Thorne, former ESPN an-nouncer and current MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Net-work) broadcaster, was an-nouncing all of the legends as they passed by.

It was the spot where their vehicles would slow for the TV cameras. We were with-

in 10 or 15 feet of the great-est legends of the game, and even exchanged greet-ings with both Thorne and some of the Hall of Famers. (Whitey Ford pointed at me and told me, in jest, to get him a beer!)

All those people passing by, in a matter of 30 min-utes, was one of the most fascinating experiences of the weekend.

How about this lineup of Hall of Famers passing right by us in order: Whitey Ford, Ernie Banks, Bob Gibson, Hank Aaron, Frank Robin-son, Brooks Robinson, Lou Brock, Billy Williams, John-ny Bench, Rod Carew, Fer-gie Jenkins, Reggie Jackson, Carlton Fisk, Tommy Las-orda, Phil Niekro, George Brett, Nolan Ryan, Carl-ton Fisk, Tony Perez, Dave Winfield, Ozzie Smith, Ed-die Murray, Dennis Eck-ersley, Wade Boggs, Cal Ripken, Rickey Henderson, Andre Dawson, Whitey Herzog, Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin and this year’s inductees Bobby Cox, Tom Glavine, Tony LaRussa, Greg Maddux, Frank Thom-as and Joe Torre.

Man, that was surreal to see all of those legends at once. (The next morning we saw Rickey Hender-son at the Albany airport, but he didn’t seem thrilled about being recognized. A quick wave and a brisk walk away.)Setting up

As the day concluded Saturday, we went out to the Hall of Fame ceremony field south of town to place our chairs in a good spot. That was a tip I got from a veteran attendee while in line for Ozzie’s autograph. Iowa Hawkeye chairs were pretty easy to pick out in a crowd in upstate New York.

The various inductions of writers, broadcasters and the new class of six took three hours Sunday after-noon. But it was the fastest three hours of my life.

It was an unbelievable experience to see my son’s favorite players give their induction speeches, includ-ing an emotional one by Thomas, who spoke of how proud his late father would be at that moment.

Time flew by because you’re just hanging on ev-ery word. The crowd of 48,000 was believed to be the second highest yet, but they project the town to be invaded by 120,000 or more when Derek Jeter goes in after the five-year waiting period.

We finished up with a trip to famed Doubleday Field

just off Main Street, and a toast to our weekend at one of the local pubs, which were swarmed by Braves and White Sox fans.

One Braves fan about my age, obviously enjoying his stay in the bar for an extend-ed time, pointed at us sitting together and slurred a ques-tion, “Hey! There’s a Car-dinal, a Brave and a White Sox. How do you guys get along?”

Just fine, buddy, We then engaged in a discus-sion about who’s the better manager, Cox, LaRussa or Torre? It was a spirited con-versation, but not testy.

The next morning, Moth-er Nature had waited until then to dump steady rain on the region. We had travel issues — waited an hour on a plane with no air condi-tioning in Baltimore, only to be told we’d have to get off and board another plane because of the mechanical issues.

Fortunately, Brett was still able to make his con-nection flight from Chicago to Nashville, by a matter of minutes. Keith and I drove to Davennport, where I got in my car and drove until 1 a.m. in Des Moines, where I took in some Class 3A state baseball the next day in preparation for my all-state voting later in the week.

It was back to the work routine, much to Vicker’s relief.

But those four days to-gether with my sons, enjoy-ing a trip to the shrine of baseball, was even better than I envisioned back in December.

If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of going to any Hall of Fame that means some-thing to you — Springfield (basketball), Canton (foot-ball) or Cooperstown, I highly recommend it.

And if you can, take your kids. Mere words can’t de-scribe how it feels when you’re there, soaking it in together.

On the way home I said to the boys, “Well, I’ve taken Deb on her dream trip to Maui (currently hammered by a hurricane), and now you guys to Cooperstown. So if I keel over on the plane, I’ll go with a smile on my face!”

President Obama approves disaster declaration for 22 Iowa counties

(MCT) — Gov. Terry Branstad’s request that President Barack Obama declare 22 counties federal disaster areas has been granted, opening the door for Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency funding for repairs. The declaration ar-rived late Tuesday afternoon.

Branstad sent the request July 29, which emphasized damage from severe weather occurring June 26 through July 7, including winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, hail and thunderstorms.

The FEMA program activated by the presidential declaration is Public Assistance. Governmental entities and some not-for-profit organizations,

such as levee and drainage districts, are eligible for funding.

Private citizens are not eligible un-der the Public Assistance Program.

The southeastern counties de-clared disaster areas are Des Moines, Keokuk, Lee, Muscatine and Wash-ington.

Gina Hardin, Des Moines County Emergency Management coordinator, said applicant briefing meetings are not scheduled yet but probably will be next week.

Previously, Hardin said if Obama declares the event a disaster, the coun-ties’ flood-preparation costs, damages and cleanup costs still will be eligible for reimbursement and will not be limited to storm damage from strong winds, tornadoes and hail.

The state needed to demonstrate $4.4 million damage occurred to qual-

ify for FEMA Public Assistance.Each county also has damage

threshold minimums for FEMA fund-ing. Des Moines County’s is a little more than $140,000.

According to Hardin, Des Moines County’s application included the fol-lowing estimates, which still are evolv-ing and are not final:

*Category A, debris removal, $167,000;

*Category B, emergency protective measures, $655,583;

*Category E, buildings and equip-ment, $100,000;

*Category F, utilities, $72,050.The estimated total is $994,633.

ISU President Leath cancels Veishea

(MCT) — Iowa State University President Steven Leath has ended Veishea.

“Veishea is ended, and the name Veishea is re-tired,” Leath said.

Leath, speaking at a press conference in the Memorial Union’s Campanile Room, said the change was a “very difficult decision,” but cited the negative association of the university’s annual stu-dent-run celebration with partying and disruptions as motivating his decision.

“I understand that it is very sad and disappointing to see this 92-year tradition come to an end, and there may be some who are upset with this decision, but I am not going to continue to put students at risk so that we can preserve what, to many, has become a week-long party,” Leath said.

Fifty to sixty years ago, Veishea was a “wonderful celebration,” Leath said, “but times have changed.”

It has turned into a “week-long, alcohol-fueled party,” and the true pur-pose for the university cele-bration has been complete-ly overshadowed, he said.

Leath suspended the remainder of this year’s Veishea activities after a disruptive crowd flipped over cars and pulled light poles and street signs from the ground in Campustown. Police estimated the crowd to be in the 1,000s, and one student was seriously in-jured when he was hit by a toppling light pole.

That student has since fully recovered, Leath said Thursday. He did not say whether or not the student is returning to ISU this year.

“I will not be the presi-dent who has to call a stu-dent’s parents in the middle of the night to say your child has been critically injured in another Veishea-related disturbance,” he said.

Leath said Veishea’s cancellation was not to say there couldn’t be future university celebrations, but said he would not set a timeline for when any new events may be planned.

Ames Mayor Ann Camp-bell attended the press conference, and afterword, spoke in support of the de-cision.

“I think everybody is sad that it has come to this, but given that the challenges don’t seem to go away, and the challenges, frankly, fall to the Ames community …

so it has been a very chal-lenging time for the com-munity,” Campbell said. “I think anything that you’ve had in existance for 92 years and then suddenly do not have it, there is a gap. I think that in a few years we will have had enough other things to fill that gap that it will be past history.”

Campbell spoke about the positive working rela-tionship the city shares with the university, but said that there has been an growing cost in supporting Veishea.

“We’ve increasingly found that it is very costly for the city, and not only the overtime kinds of things, but the ways that we have tried to support it have been, for example helping to fund the pancake breakfast, which is purely and simply a fighting the al-cohol issue,” she said.

This local leader-ship development opportu-nity is now entering into its sixth year of programming.

fer. I look forward to tak-ing what I learned and ap-plying it every day to help improve myself, my family, friends, and other commu-nity members.”

Nine sessions will be held on a bi-weekly ba-sis starting Jan. 28, 2015, through May 13, 2015.

� ISU’s 92-year tradition comes to an end, Leath cites negative association with partying and disruptions
