GET READY TO admire the city’s finest green thumbs — the Findlay Garden
Club’s 2015 garden tour has bloomed again! This year’s tour will take place
July 11 and 12 and will feature seven city and one country garden. Among the
gardens featured is Effraim Bilgili’s four-acre masterpiece, including many
mixed flower beds (above) and a backyard with many colorful plants and a
pergola covered in grape vines (left).
Findlay Garden
Club’s 2015 tour
held July 11 and 12
Get ready for the Findlay Garden Club’s
2015 garden tour. Mark your calendars for
Saturday, July 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Sunday, July 12 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Seven city gardens and one country garden
provide a variety of settings for this year’s tour.
It is the policy of the Findlay Garden Club not
to show gardens that are professionally done,
but to choose those that illustrate what dedicated amateurs can achieve on varied sizes
of plots.
Ginny Clymer’s garden, at 1500 Blanchard
Ave., is on a corner lot and features a small
World War II memorial plot with a special
cross and flags in honor of her deceased husband. Other beds have a variety of colorful
flowers, including some huge bleeding hearts
and clematis. A graceful dogwood tree presides
near the house. Another interesting feature is
a 25-foot-long and 3-foot-high raised bed filled
with vegetables and flowers.
Bonnie Croy and Ed Lloyd have created a
beautiful, private retreat at 760 Parkview Drive
in the midst of a large housing development.
Enter the backyard through an arched gate to
enjoy ornamental grasses, hostas, lilacs, sunflowers and wildflowers. The yard features a
large pergola over a patio, a cottage-style shed
and many birdhouses. Smoke bush seeds feed
the local cardinals. This summer the Lloyds
created raised beds as an addition to the backyard. Other features include a crimson maple,
Cleveland pear, statuary and bird baths.
The garden of Mike and Midge Foster is
at 451 Wellington Place. Interesting features
include a vertical multi-stone fountain, a koi
pond with lily pads and waterfall, and a mature
(20-year-old) re-imagined fairy garden. In
place of mulch, the Fosters use acre sedum,
which makes a plush green carpet for the
family cat’s enjoyment. A private brick patio
is surrounded by spruce and river birch. As you
tour the garden, look for yarrow, black-eyed
Susans, ivy, coral bells, columbine, buttercups,
mosquito plants, spirea and witch hazel.
Jeff Knox’s garden at 846 Hemphill Blvd.
is back on the tour by popular demand. Knox
specializes in vegetables (24 varieties of tomatoes, 20-plus types of peppers), herbs and berries. His masculine take on garden decorating
includes repurposed items such as an old TV
screen, corn crib parts, a large industrial propeller, trash cans and a telephone box. These
are creatively used to enhance the garden on
this corner lot.
The compact city garden of Jeff and Sun
Love at 532 N. Main St. is overflowing with
flowering plants and bushes of all kinds, both
in front and back of the property. Throughout
the growing season the flower show changes
but never ends. Many small trees dot the property including Japanese maples, and peach,
smoke, red bud and corkscrew willow trees.
Other features include two ponds, a waterfall,
and a variety of statuary. A favorite 8-foot tree
lily is expected to bloom for the tour.
Johanna and Chris Wolford have been
building their garden at 106 Shinkle St. since
2002. Chris’ handiwork is seen throughout
the garden in homemade wagons and other
containers for flowers. Garden decor includes
a roaster and an antique Gulf gas pump, an
old bicycle, and barn brick planters. Five rain
barrels (from Ohio Automotive) collect rain
runoff from the garage. Colorful annuals grace
a raised front bed, and roses surround a deck
in back. Don’t miss the large-scale fairy garden
and the koi pond. Other plant features include
Japanese maple, wisteria, day lilies, climbing
sunflowers and Lenten roses.
Mark and Kathy Creighton’s garden at 618
Sutton Place has been created over a period of
10 years. The three-quarter-acre lot includes
many trees, including a skirted chestnut, and
vines such as honeysuckle and trumpet vine.
Mark’s homemade greenhouse extends the gardening season, and a well-organized storage
area makes gardening more efficient. Finally,
note the lovely little memorial garden for their
bulldog.
Effraim Bilgili’s four-acre garden at 980
Township 229 is a stunning sight to see. Every
type of perennial, vine, vegetable and herb runs
rife in beds throughout the property. Name a
flower, a vegetable, a fruit, or an herb and it is
probably in Bilgili’s garden. He has 32 types
of tomatoes, and many fruit trees including
cherry, apricot, peach, apple, plum and pear.
An English walnut tree and hazelnut trees also
provide their bounty. Don’t miss the many colorful hanging baskets of annuals throughout
the property.
There is no admission charge for the tour,
but donation jars at each garden help the
garden club with expenses for the tour. Find
maps at Brinkman’s, Feasel’s, Perennial Plant
Peddler, Lowe’s, Meijer, Wal-Mart, Garden
Central, and Indian Trail Nursery in Columbus Grove. For questions contact Doris Salis
at 419-422-3560 or [email protected].
JOHANNA AND CHRIS Wolford’s garden features a large-scale fairy garden (above) and a koi pond
with a small bridge surrounded by large stones and greenery (below).

‘LI’L ABNER’

“Li’l Abner” is a musical with
a book by Norman Panama and
Melvin Frank, music by Gene
De Paul, and lyrics by Johnny
Mercer. Based on the comic strip
“Li’l Abner” by Al Capp, the show
is a broad spoof of hillbillies, but
it is also a pointed satire on other
topics, ranging from American
politics and incompetence in the
United States federal government
to propriety and gender roles.
When residents of Dogpatch, USA,
are notified by the government
that they must evacuate, they try
to persuade the government that
their town is worth saving. Come
meet Abner, Daisy Mae, Mammy
and Pappy, Marryin’ Sam, Earthquake McGoon, General Bullmoose, Appassionata, and all the
other colorful characters in this
comedy musical. The director is
Sam Macera, assistant director
is Karen Zapiecki, accompanist is

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
July 10-11 and 18-19
It seems especially fitting that
the first rock opera, created as a
concept album at the end of the
turbulent ‘60s, should have at its
center a social and political rebel.
Jesus’ meteor-like rise in renown
provides, as the title suggests, a
parallel to contemporary celebrity
worship. As his radical teachings
are ever more embraced, Judas
increasingly questions the enlightened motives of this new prophet,
resulting in betrayal. Christ’s final
days are dramatized with emotional intensity, thought-provoking
edge and explosive theatricality.
Propelled by a stirring score, by
turns driving and majestic, satirical and tender, Jesus Christ Superstar illuminates the transcendent
power of the human spirit with a
passion that goes straight to the
heart. Music by Andrew Lloyd
Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice.
Admission: $15 adults and $10
students. Time: 7:30 p.m. Friday
and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Location: The Ritz Theatre, 30 S.

What if this cat was roaming your neighborhood?
S
ometimes, wildlife can
become a nuisance. Rabbits ravaging gardens,
skunks skulking under
porches, and deer dining on
shrubs can be a little aggravating
but, in Los Angeles, Jason Archinaco’s problem makes these problems pale.
A cougar moved under Archinaco’s home and seemed to be
planning to stay. California wildlife officials tried to prod and
push the animal from its hideout.
Regardless of their efforts, the big
cat refused to be evicted.
Archinaco, who lives in the rolling Los Feliz neighborhood, said
that workers installing a home
security system encountered the
creeping cougar in a crawlspace,
and it was still there 10 hours later.
“I don’t think he’s going to
come out,” Archinaco said. “He’s
probably been living here for a
while. ... He thinks this is his den.”
The animal, which has a red
ear tag, is known as P-22 and regularly frequents nearby Griffith
Park. P-22 arrived in the area
several years ago from the Santa
Monica Mountains after perilously
crossing two freeways.
Wildlife officials, operating
within the cloak of darkness,
tried poking him gently with a
long prod, but that only resulted
in the temporary loss of a GoPro
camera they’d attached to the end.
They attempted to fire a tennis
ball cannon into the crawl space
with hopes that at least the noise
and commotion would scare him
out, a tactic that often works with
coyotes. The cougar wasn’t fazed.
They then fired bean bags
toward the cat, but the tough
tabby remained unimpressed. P-22
showed a little irritation, but he
remained in place.
Wildlife experts said the
danger to the neighborhood is no
greater than they experience on
any other night. The end plan was
just to wait him out. A few days
later, P-22 crept quietly away.
Archinaco said he and his wife
have three house cats and had
thought about adding to their
numbers.
“My wife wanted a fourth one,”
he said, “But not this way.”
P-22 is no stranger to attention.
He was photographed in 2013 by
National Geographic while he
passed in front of the Hollywood
sign, and has been caught by
remote cameras in Griffith Park.
He also survived mange and a
meal of rat poison before his urban
experience.

Along the Way:
Chronic wasting disease continues to be a concern within
captive deer herds in Ohio, as
well as the fear that the disease
may threaten the state’s wild
populations. This has resulted in
the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s killing of 500 captive deer
at World Class Whitetails of Ohio
in Holmes County.
The disease was found during
testing of deer and caused a quarantine of operations. That initial
case was found in one deer at the
preserve, but two other animals
from breeding farms which supply
deer to the facility also tested positive. The businesses are owned by
Daniel Yoder.
“About 270 deer were euthanized…at Yoder’s hunting preserve, but none tested positive
for the disease. This is good for
the area because it means the site
is not contaminated, but it likely
means the problem comes from
Yoder’s breeding farm. Both of
the locations are near Millersburg,” said Erica Hawkins, state
agriculture spokeswoman.
Another 240 deer have been
euthanized and samples taken for
further testing to prevent future
outbreaks. Chronic wasting disease is contagious and affects
deer and elk species. It attacks the
brain and causes deer to quickly

While the Department of
Agriculture placed a quarantine
on Yoder’s preserve in April 2014,
this didn’t stop him from continuing his business. Two deer killed
on the farm were recently found
outside the preserve. Yoder was
also found to be purposely smudging the numbers of his record
book, misrepresenting additions
to his herd.
Yoder was arrested in February

Essentials for visiting San Diego go beyond beaches
By JULIE WATSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — With an average
of 250 days of sunshine a year, any
time is good to visit San Diego —
but summer means the chilly Pacific
waters are warm enough for surfing
without a wetsuit. It’s also when this
Navy port goes wild over firework
shows and beach fire pits. Here’s the
latest.
WHAT’S NEW
A nine-story public library and
its signature dome opened in downtown San Diego in 2013. It is an
architectural gem with the glassand-steel building flowing seamlessly between indoor and outdoor
spaces. A three-story reading room
with giant windows gives a sweeping
view of Coronado Bridge spanning
across the bay.
Another new attraction on the
nearby waterfront is an open-air
fish market held on a pier in Seaport Village every Saturday from 8
a.m. to 1 p.m. Get there early to buy
the catch of the day — like yellowfin tuna and sea urchins — straight
from the fishermen. Even if you don’t
buy, it’s worth checking out to see the
industry that once earned San Diego
the title “Tuna Capital of the World.”
And it’s a bit of a drive, albeit a
gorgeous one, up the coast along
Highway 101 to Encinitas, where
the home town of professional skateboarder Tony Hawk inaugurated the
mother lode of skate parks this year.
The Encinitas Skate Plaza shows
how far the sport has come from
its rebel beginnings in the hulls of
drained, backyard swimming pools.
The Tony Hawk Foundation helped
with the design of the 13,000-squarefeet skate park, where world-class
skateboarders from ages 8 to 48 do
their flips and turns.
CLASSIC ATTRACTIONS
If Andy Griffith’s Mayberry had
a beach twin it would be Coronado.
The bike-friendly peninsula that
feels like a postcard from the 1950s
is anchored by the iconic Hotel Del
Coronado, which was featured in
Marilyn Monroe’s 1958 film “Some
Like It Hot.”
Built in 1888, the red-roofed hotel
is the last of California’s Victorian
seaside resorts. It looks out onto 1.5
miles of pristine coast with a beach
that sparkles with the mineral mica.
Another bucket-list attraction is
Balboa Park. The 1,200-acre city
park rivals New York’s Central Park
and is home to yet another bucket-list
item — the San Diego Zoo. The park
is celebrating its 100th anniversary,
marking when its cluster of Spanish
Renaissance-style buildings were
erected in 1915 for a world fair to
commemorate the opening of the
Panama Canal. Museums are hosting
concerts and special events through-
out 2015, including a car symphony
played by professional musicians on
automobile parts. Check www.celebratebalboapark.org.
San Diego’s coast boasts worldclass surfing but also decent waves
for the novice. There are a slew of
surf schools. Best bet is to look online
or head to neighborhoods like Mission Beach or Pacific Beach. Or grab
a local craft beer and nachos at the
WaveHouse on Mission Beach that
hosts competitions of surfers flipping
in the air off its machine-churned
pool waves, with a view of the real
thing in the Pacific.
TIPS
Unless you’ve got a lot of time and
patience, you’ll definitely need a car
to navigate the sprawling city, the
eighth-largest in the nation. Parking
downtown means paying at either a
meter or parking garage, but in most
other parts of the city, street parking
is free.
Al fresco dining is a must-do in
this city. For a cheap breakfast or
lunch visit a farmer’s market. There
are several daily. Check out http://
sdfarmbureau.org/BuyLocal/Farmers-Markets.php#markets.
Locals grab a bundle of wood
at the grocery stores and roast hot
dogs at one of the permanent fire pits
set up along San Diego’s bays. The
pits and their locations actually get
reviews on Yelp.
Another popular, evening picnic
spot from spring through fall is at
the Velodrome in Balboa Park, where
you can watch cyclists spin around
the track while DJs often spin their
own tracks. Check the schedule at
http://sdvelodrome.com/racing/.
HANGING OUT
San Diego’s Little Italy section
is a prime spot for enjoying a good
espresso and people watching.
The area is a hip, bustling mecca
of shops, art galleries and cafes.
You’ll hear plenty of Italian spoken
by young Italians who have opened
up businesses or come to work here
in recent years.
On Saturdays, the neighborhood
has one of the city’s best farmer’s
markets, known by its Italian name
“mercato.” And on any given weekend, there seems to be some kind of
festival, most Italian-themed, from
chalk art contests to bocce ball tournaments.

QUINOA SHRIMP SALAD with avocado and pomegranate
molasses delivers, big, bold and filling flavor without
requiring a whole lot of time or labor.
Shrimp and quinoa combine
for a robust summer salad
By J.M. HIRSCH
MATTHEW MEAD / Associated Press
HERE IN THE MIDWEST, we don’t have the easy
access to fresh lobster that New Englanders do. So
substitute shrimp, instead. Your best bet is to buy
individually quick-frozen shrimp and cook them
carefully to prevent the meat from turning tough.
New England-Style Shrimp Rolls
Start to finish: 40 minutes. Servings: 4.
4 ounces seedless cucumber, cut into 1/4 -inch dice (a scant
cup)
Kosher salt
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
1/
2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, dill or tarragon, plus
extra to garnish
Ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 New England-style hot dog buns
In a large saucepan over high, bring 3 quarts of water to a
boil. Set a bowl of water and ice nearby.
In a colander, toss the cucumber with a little salt. Let drain
over the sink for 10 minutes, then use paper towels to pat dry.
Set aside.
When the water comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and
the shrimp. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the shrimp are
just cooked through. Start timing from the moment you put the
shrimp in the pan, even though the water will immediately cease
boiling. Keep the heat on high but do not let the water get any
hotter than a bare simmer.
As soon as the shrimp have changed color, remove 1 shrimp
from the pan and cut it crosswise. If the meat is translucent at
the center, let the shrimp cook a little longer. If the shrimp is
opaque, use a slotted spoon to transfer all of the shrimp to the
bowl of ice water. Let the shrimp cool for 10 minutes, then drain,
pat dry and cut each crosswise into 1/2 -inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon
juice and 2 tablespoons of chives, dill or tarragon. Season with salt
and pepper. Add the cucumbers and the shrimp, then mix well.
In a medium skillet over medium-high, melt the butter. When
the foam has subsided, reduce the heat to medium. Add the hot
dog buns, placing them on one of their sides. Immediately turn the
buns over to the other side (to make sure the butter gets evenly
distributed) and cook until they are golden on the side that is
down, about 1 minute. Turn them back over and cook them on
the other side until golden, about 1 minute.
Transfer the buns to serving plates and let them cool for a few
minutes before stuffing each one with a quarter of the shrimp
salad. Sprinkle each portion with additional fresh herbs.

Swap for shrimp when
no local lobster is handy
By SARA MOULTON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
My dad, a native New Englander, is a huge fan of lobster
rolls, those heavily-buttered hot
dog buns stuffed with chunks
of mayonnaise-rich lobster and
maybe a little celery for crunch.
Wildly flavorful and obscenely
indulgent, lobster rolls are a summertime fixture at every seafood
shack in New England. Problem is,
they can be pricey. Also, it’s not as
if everyone everywhere can count
on finding fresh Maine lobster at
their local store. So I came up with
this recipe, my attempt to concoct
a poor man’s lobster roll.
I did it by swapping shrimp
for the lobster, and I must say it
turned out splendidly. You just
have to be careful not to overcook
the shrimp. So let me share some
tips with you.
First, don’t be fooled by the
raw shrimp at the fish counter.
Just because they are raw doesn’t
mean they are fresh. Almost all of
the shrimp we buy in this country have been frozen, often in
5-pound blocks. And as soon as
they are defrosted, they start to
head downhill. Your best bet for
freshness is to buy IQF (individually quick-frozen) shrimp.
If you can’t find IQF shrimp,
then buy thawed shrimp with the
shells on. But be sure to ask the
person at the counter how fresh
they are. And take a whiff yourself. If they smell fishy, move on.
Why buy shrimp with shells? Two
reasons: They are cheaper and you
can freeze the shells and use them
later as fodder for a shellfish stock.
Here’s my method for peeling
and cleaning the shrimp. Peel
all of the shrimp first, then pile
them onto a cutting board. Take
each shrimp, one at a time, and
lay it flat. Cut a slit about 1/16 -inch
deep down the back of the outside
curved side. Having scored all
of the shrimp, carry the cutting
board over to the sink, then briefly
run each shrimp under cold water
while pulling out and discarding
the little vein (often black) that
runs down its back
And here’s my method for
cooking shrimp so they turn out
tender. The key is to avoid boiling
them. Boiling any piece of protein
for more than a few minutes can
make it tough.
Instead, add the shrimp
to boiling water (the shrimp
instantly cool the water to below
a simmer), then cook for just 2 to
4 minutes, or until the shrimp are
just cooked through. The water
also must be well-salted or the
shrimp will taste bland. Finally,
it’s crucial to transfer the shrimp
from the hot water to ice water
as soon as they are done to stop
the cooking.
The dressing here is simple
and effective, but you’re welcome
to customize it by substituting
celery for the cucumber or by
adding chilies, Dijon mustard or
horseradish.
For a true New England-style
seafood roll, the bun must be slit
open on the top and have no crust
on the sides. If you can’t find any
that fit that description, buy some
standard hotdog buns and slice
off the sides. Why must the bun
sides be crustless? The better to
soak up butter when toasted in
the pan.
The secret to a hearty
summer dinner salad? You’ve
got to stick with ingredients
that come together in little
time.
Because while I want my
dinner salads to be robust
and filling, I don’t want them
to take a whole lot of time to
prep. One of the greatest joys
of summer is getting dinner
on the table fast, then getting
it out onto the porch to enjoy
while watching the sun set.
So this summer dinner
salad relies on two hearty
ingredients that pack big,
bold and filling flavor, without
requiring a whole lot of time
or labor. Quick-cooking quinoa
provides a protein-packed base
that cooks in just 15 minutes. I
like to toss the quinoa with the
other salad ingredients while
still warm, but if you prefer feel
free to pop it in the freezer for a
couple minutes for a quick cool.
While your quinoa cooks,
spicy shrimp go on and off the
grill in a flash. Everything then
gets tossed together with some
avocado, feta cheese and scallions. In less than 30 minutes,
you get a great dinner salad
with little effort — and plenty
of time to get outside to enjoy
the sunset.
Quinoa Shrimp Salad with Avocado
You should find pomegranate molasses in the grocer’s
international aisle. If you can’t, balsamic glaze is a good
substitute.
Start to finish: 25 minutes. Servings: 4.
1 pound shelled raw large shrimp
2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce (sambal)
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 bunch scallions, finely sliced
2 avocados, pitted, peeled and finely chopped
1/
2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Pomegranate molasses, to serve
Heat the grill to medium-high. Soak about 6 bamboo
skewers in warm water for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the chili-garlic
sauce. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over high heat, bring
the water to a boil. Add the quinoa and cook for 15 minutes,
or until very tender. Drain the quinoa and set aside.
Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, shaking off any
excess sambal. Lightly oil the grill grates using an oilsoaked paper towel held with tongs, then set the shrimp
skewers on the grates. Cook for 3 minutes per side, or until
just pink and barely firm.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked quinoa with the cooked
shrimp (removed from the skewers), scallions and avocados. Top with feta, then drizzle with pomegranate molasses.

Fostoria pals reunite on
Heartbreak Ridge in Korea
The following news items
appeared in the Fostoria ReviewTimes in March of 1953:
Two Fostoria soldiers, who
have been pals since they entered
St. Wendelin’s grade school 16
years ago, have reported a dramatic meeting in far-away Korea,
where they are serving in different
companies, in the same infantry
regiment.
The youths, Sgt. Thomas
Hayes, 22, son of Mrs. Ethel
Hayes, 208½ W. South street
and Cpl. Harold Kuntz, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kuntz, 261 E.
Crocker street, met during a hotly
contested action on Heartbreak
Ridge, according to letters sent
to relatives here.
Sgt. Hayes is assigned to Co.
F, 279th Inf. Regt. and Cpl Kuntz
is assigned to Co. H of the same
regiment.
Sgt. Hayes enlisted February
10, 1951 and his pal, Cpl. Kuntz
enlisted Febrrary 23 of the same
year. They trained in Fort Benning, Ga., before being assigned
to Korea. They met for the first
time on foreign soil last October.
Their recent meeting was
during battle and they had little
time to reminisce, but they did
agree that a long talk will be held
when they get behind the lines for
a rest.
Pfc. Carlos A. Jackson, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jackson, 890
Spruce street, returned to Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, last Thursday after spending a 23 day furlough here. Last Saturday, Carlos,
along with his parents, motored to
Miami University for an interview
GENE KINN
with the athletic director. This
was Carlos’ first furlough in over
a year, due to his participation in
sports, which included track, football, basketball and baseball. He
acquired two trophies in football
and track as most valuable player.
Jim Tucker, who previously had
broken the Fostoria high school
individual game scoring record,
with a total of 37 points in the
Lima Central game, dumped in
an even 20 points Saturday night
to run his season’s total to exactly
400 points, the highest season’s
total ever made by an FHS cager.
Tucker, who played in 18 of
the 19 games the Redmen played
during the 1952-53 season, averaged 22.2 points per contest.
Jimmy Krupp, Fostoria St.
Wendelin high school’s scoring ace
and key player of the year, was honored by being named to the Ohio
High School Class B third team by
International News Service. Jim
led both local schools in the scoring department as be bagged 588
points in 20 ball games.
Fostoria’s Jimmy Ticker rated
an honorable mention berth in the
Class A division of the INS selections. Jimmy was the spark that
drove Fostoria to one of its most
successful seasons in years. The
Redmen finished at Rossford last
week with a 15 win 5 loss record.
S. E. Salisbury, manager of the
Ohio Farmers Grain and Supply
Association in Fostoria, returned
last evening from Washington, D.
C., where he was called to a special meeting with U. S. Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra Benson, in an
effort to solve an acute feed grain
situation that exists in the nation
at this time.
Although stocks of grain
feeds are plentiful, distribution
is far from normal. Feed grain
stocks are considerably below
normal in the drought-damaged
southern states while corn is in
abundance across the corn belt.
Consequently, Secretary Benson
called Mr. Salisbury and 35 other
officials of grain terminals, corn
processors and cooperatives
across the corn belt to Washington Monday for this important
conference.
Mr. Salisbury and other members of a group of ten, selected by
Secretary Benson, will study the
present program and make some
recommendations for mechanical handling of this year’s crop.
Research will be made in an effort
to find new uses for the huge stock
pile of corn now in storage.
The government now has title
to about 233 million bushels of
corn on hand.
Mr. Salisbury said today, “I
never came out of a conference
before when I felt so humble and
yet so enthused. Secretary Benson
realizes he has a tremendous job
and he is asking the help of the
people out in the country. I sincerely feel that Secretary Benson
will make an honest effort to help
the farmers of this nation.”

CARLY FIORINA and others blame California’s drought on misguided environmental policies instead
of climate change.
HI & LOIS

Is drought the result
of too much meddling
by environmentalists?
Dear EarthTalk: Is California’s epic drought really the result
of too much meddling by environmentalists like some conservatives
have suggested? —Betsy Martin,
Butte, MT
While no one questions that
California is in the midst of one
of the worst droughts in recent history, the jury is still out as to why,
at least according to some conservatives like former Hewlett Packard CEO and 2016 Republican
Presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina.
This past April, Fiorina told
talk show host Glenn Beck that
California’s drought was a “manmade disaster” caused by “liberal
environmentalists” who blocked
the construction of appropriate
reservoirs and other infrastructure that could have helped prevent the current crisis.
The vast majority of the state’s
1,400 dams and reservoirs were
built more than four decades ago.
According to FoxNews, environmentalists “have since stopped
the construction of water storage and delivery systems through
legal and political actions” while
fighting “to ensure that captured
water is released into streams and
the ocean—rather than the water
delivery system—in order to boost
fish populations and dilute the
salinity of the delta.”
Conservatives are particularly
incensed about releasing water
from the state’s control to help
a small number of fish species
already on the brink of extinction
anyway. Priority #1 for state wildlife officials has been protection
of the endangered delta smelt, a
three inch long minnow that feeds
on plankton and has a tough time
surviving passage through the
pumps of California’s existing
water diversion system. Since
the fish was listed as endangered
in 1993, biologists have tried to
maintain a friendlier environment
for it by withholding fresh river
runoff that would otherwise go
to homes, businesses and agricultural operations across the state.
The state has flushed upwards of
1.4 trillion gallons of freshwater
into the ocean since 2008 to protect delta smelt from the water
system pumps. But despite these
herculean efforts, delta smelt
look to be headed for extinction
anyway.
“In California, fish and frogs
and flies are really important,”
said Fiorina. “California is a classic case of liberals being willing to
sacrifice other people’s lives and
livelihoods at the altar of their
ideology.” She went on to tell
MSNBC that whatever California
does to address climate change at
this point won’t make a bit of difference: “A single state, or single
nation acting alone can make no
difference at all, that’s what the
scientists say,” she said. “We’re
disabling our own economy and
not having any impact at all on
climate change.”
“Droughts are nothing new in
California, but right now, 70 percent of California’s rainfall washes
out to sea because liberals have
prevented the construction of a
single new reservoir or a single
new water conveyance system
over decades, during a period in
which California’s population has
doubled,” added Carly Fiorina.
“This is the classic case of liberals being willing to sacrifice other
people’s lives and livelihoods at
the altar of their ideology.”
Of course, environmentalists counter that blaming them
for their efforts to preserve and
protect landscapes, hydrological flows and wildlife is nothing
more than a smokescreen to divert
attention from the real culprits in
California’s current drought woes:
climate change due to man-made
carbon emissions and our profligate water usage habits.

A first: New
guidelines
back device for
treating strokes
Could reduce risk
of death, disability
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
AP CHIEF MEDICAL WRITER
Many stroke patients have a
new treatment option — if they
seek help fast enough to get it.
New guidelines endorse using a
removable stent to open clogged
arteries causing a stroke.
The guidelines, issued by the
American Heart Association,
are the first time the group has
recommended a device for treating strokes, and it’s the first new
stroke treatment in two decades to
win the group’s strongest backing.
The federal government no longer
issues guidelines like these, so the
Heart Association’s advice clears
the way for more doctors to offer
the treatment.
“It is pretty exciting,” and
many patients will benefit if they
seek help when symptoms first
appear, said the head of the guidelines panel, Dr. William J. Powers,
neurology chief at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Most of the 800,000 strokes in
the U.S. each year are caused by
a blood clot lodged in the brain.
The usual treatment is a clot-dissolving medicine called tPA, and
it remains the first choice.
But the drug must be given
within 4½ hours after symptoms
start, and most people don’t seek
help in time. The drug also fails to
work in one or two of every four
cases, Powers said.
The device is called a stent
retriever. It’s a tiny mesh cage
that is pushed through a tube into
a blood vessel and guided to the
clot, like the stents long used to
treat blocked heart arteries. But
unlike heart stents, which are left
in place to prop the artery open,
brain stents trap the clot and are
removed with it.
Earlier this year, several major
studies found these devices dra-
matically cut the risk of death or
disability in people whose clots
persisted after treatment with
tPA.
The guidelines say these
patients now can be treated with
a stent retriever if it can be done
within six hours of symptom
onset, they have a severe stroke
caused by a clot in a large artery,
and have brain imaging showing
that at least half of the brain on
the side of the stroke is not permanently damaged.
The benefit of stent retrievers
beyond six hours, or for people not
treated first with tPA, is unknown.
“We think it probably works
in some of them but we just don’t
have the hard evidence” to recommend it, Powers said.
Where patients seek help matters. Only major stroke centers
can do the technically difficult
procedure with stent retrievers.
Two brands are sold in the
U.S. — Trevo, made by Stryker
Corp. of Kalamazoo, Michigan,
and Solitaire, made by Covidien,
now part of Minneapolis-based
Medtronic Inc.
Medtronic and Covidien help
sponsor an American Heart
Association/American Stroke
Association program aimed at
helping people recognize stroke
symptoms — sudden onset of
any of these: numbness or weakness on one side, severe headache
with no known cause, confusion,
and trouble walking, speaking or
seeing.
But the companies had no
role in shaping the guidelines.
Two of the 19 experts involved in
the guidelines have consulted for
device makers.

By KATHY FOUST
By DR. THOMAS F. VAIL
Being married for more than 20 years in this day
and age is considered a great success, considering 50
percent or more of marriages end in divorce.
Many other marriages are still together, but not
happy.
Young people who are planning to get married often
do not realize the commitment and work involved to
make the marriage not only successful, but fun and exciting.
If the marriage is going to be fun,
we need to share things we have in
common and enjoy together. This
means we need to make time for
what is important to us, setting it as
a priority.
Instead of saying, “Yes we need
to do that some time,” get out your
calendar and set a date. The children
may need a sitter, so planning ahead Foust
can assure your time together will
actually happen.
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow never comes, so
take advantage of today.
Often I hear, “There is nothing to do,” or, “We don’t
have the money.” It is amazing what there is to do in
our area if you start becoming aware.
Activities include: concerts, festivals, gardens, zoos,
wineries, bike paths, parks, restaurants, car shows and
more. Some activities may not be your personal favorite,
but can certainly be enjoyed because you are with the
one you love.
It is highly recommended to get away for an evening
or weekend overnight, without the kids. Some parents
feel guilty if they don’t take the kids with them.
The best gift you can give your children is the love
you have for your spouse. Taking time for each other
demonstrates true love. This can be a relaxing time,
away from the stress of our everyday routine. Time
away refreshes and enhances relationships.
Self-care is important in marriage. We all feel better
about ourselves when we have taken the time to eat
properly, exercise and get enough sleep. This will help
provide the energy needed to do fun things.
Another aspect of this balancing act is our mental
health. It is easy to get caught up in the negativity of
life which drags us down. Looking for the positive and
things to be thankful for, even in the midst of the storm,
puts us in a better mood, and helps us feel peace and
contentment. Laughing together is fun. When is the last
time you laughed so hard your stomach hurt?
Sometimes we need to lighten up and just laugh at
ourselves or with our spouse. If you know of a funny
movie, go see it. If you know a funny joke, make sure
you share. Having special inside jokes just the two of
you know about is also intimate and fun.
Once the wedding is over, we have to be proactive,
looking for ways to keep the marriage exciting and fun.
At times it may seem like work, but it will be well worth
it in the end.
If the marriage is nurtured and well attended, we
will reap the benefits and never regret it.
With everyone enjoying their favorite sports, it is the perfect time to
really examine your shoes.
Does the athletic shoe you are wearing fit your sport? It’s important to
choose the right footwear for your activity.
Sneakers made for tennis players will provide different support and traction than running shoes. Ill-fitting footwear also increases the danger of foot
and ankle injuries, so beware of those hand-me-downs.
Keep these tips in mind.
Does the shoe fit correctly?
Because feet spread with age, have your feet measured
every time you buy shoes, especially if you have had recent
weight gain or pregnancy. Both feet should be measured
as they are often different sizes.
Always buy shoes for the biggest foot. If you have your
foot measured using a brannock device, the heel-to-ball
measurement is very important to give you the correct
“break” in the shoe. If your shoe doesn’t break in the correct place, this can lead to foot problems.
Go shoe shopping late in the afternoon. Feet swell to Vail
their largest later in the day. If you must buy shoes in the
morning, buy them slightly larger.
Size depends on shoe make and style, too. Don’t insist you always wear
one size if the next feels better. Remember the size is merely a suggested
number and changes with brand and style.
The toe box should be roomy enough so you can wiggle all your toes.
You should have one thumb width from the end of your longest toe to the
end of the shoe. Remember this may be your second toe, not your big toe.
Your forefoot should not be wider than your shoe. Look to see if your
foot is spreading out over the sole of the shoes at the sides.
Unfortunately, most shoes today are narrower in the front than the foot is.
You can check this by standing on paper and tracing around your bare foot.
Compare the outline of your foot with the sole of your shoe. If your shoe
appears too narrow, you may be inviting foot problems. Choose only shoes
that feel comfortable. You are the best judge of that.
The heel should fit snugly and the instep should not gape open.
And finally, if the shoe doesn’t fit, don’t buy it.
Buy athletic shoes geared to your sport.
Basketball, volleyball, tennis.
Wear a thick, stiff sole that gives support while running and landing
jumps. Basketball players should look for high-ankle construction that supports the ankle during quick changes in direction. Volleyball players should
look for a lighter shoe, with less midsole support for quick starts and stops.
Football and lacrosse.
A good amount of high-ankle support is especially important for lineman
and other players who make frequent sideways movements during play.
Football and lacrosse players should have shoes with proper traction on a
grassy field, in both wet and dry conditions. Shoes with proper traction can
help prevent injury.
Soccer.
Soccer shoes should have a good-quality footbed, which can help provide
proper arch support. Make sure they feature the stud type for the ground
that will be played on most often: soft, hard, firm, or turf. Also, use molded
rubber cleats rather than the screw-on variety.
Baseball and softball.
Shoes should offer plenty of arch support. If you experience arch pain,
try using customized shoe inserts called orthotics.
Baseball and softball shoes should have no more than a half inch of space
between the big toe and the end of the shoe. Metal baseball spikes should
not be used by athletes younger than 13.
Running.
A good running shoe should provide maximum shock absorption to help
avoid injury. It is also important to match your shoe to your foot’s arch type
(high, medium, low). Replace your running shoes after 300-500 miles.
