Boston Strong – Schubert-Akin finished 21st Boston Marathon despite cold wind and rain By Yvonne Miller “I was so cold. It was pretty cold and miserable all the way,” Jennifer SchubertAkin said of running and finishing her 21st consecutive Boston Marathon. When asked if braving the 45 degree, windy,
Jennifer Schubert-Akin is at the start of her 21st consecutive Boston Marathon, which turned out to be the coldest. Most importantly she braved the cold wind and rain to finish and qualify to run it next year.

rainy weather was worth her time, without hesitation she answered, “100 percent yes. It was worth it! It’s still Boston.” The 1975 graduate of Burlington High School was one of the 27,165 runners who started the race and one of the 26,610 who finished. That’s 98 percent of the dedicated runners who proved why the Boston Marathon 2015 is a symbol of unity, strength and freedom – just two years after the bombing that killed three and injured at least 264. Schubert-Akin was one of the 606 women who finished in the age 5559 group, which is 96.7 percent. Her finish time was 3 hours, 59 minutes, 22 seconds. She had to finish in under 4:10 to qualify to run again next year. Her pace time was 9:07. Her finish time ranked her 18,754 overall and 176 in her woman’s age division. “I always try to go easy at the first to save my legs,” Schubert-Akin explained. “But, at mile 21 (of the 26.2 mile marathon) I started going as hard as I could because I looked at my time and knew it was really close to under four hours.” “It was so cold you could see your breath,” she said of the coldest Boston Marathon she’s ever run. “Wind gusts were 25 mph. I kept telling myself `This is nothing compared to Leadville.’” That
“Race Across the Sky” in Leadville, Colorado, is a 100 mile endurance race that she’s finished several times. She recalled running through rain, hail, sleet and snow all in one day at that competition. Monday she wore a rain poncho while waiting at the starting line where she said runners shivered. Then she shed that little bit of protection to start running. She wore compression clothing, which she said helps runners stand up straighter and have less cramping. A huge Citgo sign is a Boston landmark runners use to know they are about to the 25 mile mark. SchubertAkin said when she saw the iconic sign and glanced at her time, “I knew I had to hurry. I had 9:54 left to be under four hours.” “I knew I was going to finish. This is the 18th time I’ve been under four hours (in the Boston Marathon.)” All along the race route Bostonians line the streets to cheer for and motivate runners, handing out water, etc. “Because of the weather, there were definitely not as many people cheering us on as usual, but there were still thousands,” she said. “I always see things that make me laugh.” A dog lover,

The scary connection between snoring and dementia By Lynn L. Martin Today’s column is a condensation of two articles from Time Magazine. Alice Park wrote, “If you don’t snore, you likely know someone who does. Between 19 percent and 40 percent of adults snore when they sleep, and that percentage climbs even higher, particularly for men, as we age. It’s a nuisance for bed partners, but researchers say we shouldn’t be so quick to write off snoring or other forms of disrupted breathing while asleep as mere annoyances; instead, they could be affecting the brain, according to new research. Snoring is a form of sleep apnea, in which people stop breathing for a few seconds or several minutes dozens of times in an hour. Any disruption of breathing during sleep can affect the brain, say researchers of a new study published in the journal Neurology. They found that people with sleep apnea tended to develop memory problems and other signs of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) earlier than people without such sleep disorders.

Ricardo Osorio, MD, research assistant professor of psychiatry at NYU Center for Brain Health, and his colleagues studied 2,000 people enrolled in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) – a population of 55 to 75 year olds, some of whom are cognitively normal, some who have mild cognitive impairment and others who have Alzheimer’s dementia. Everyone was asked about their snoring or sleep apnea, and researchers followed up every six months for two to three years to record any changes in their cognitive status. Those who reported having sleep apnea or snoring tended to develop signs of mild cognitive impairment, including memory lapses and slower speed on cognitive skills, about 12 years earlier on average than those who didn’t report any sleep-disordered breathing. Mild cognitive impairment often precedes Alzheimer’s dementia, but not all people who develop MCI go on to get Alzheimer’s. The connection between disrupted sleep breathing and MCI remained strong even after Osorio accounted for the effects of Alzheimer’s-related genes, gender, education, depression and heart disease risk factors, all of which have been associated with increased risk of cognitive decline. Share Medical Center has reinstated their sleep study program by way of their connection with St. Anthony’s Hospital. Time Magazine also published a study on how much sleep we need. It varies a lot by age: Newborns (0-3 months ): Sleep range narrowed to 14-17 hours each day (previously it was 12-18) Infants (4-11 months): Sleep range widened two hours to 12-15 hours (previously it was 14-15) Toddlers (1-2 years): Sleep range widened by one hour to 11-14 hours (previously it was 12-14) Preschoolers (3-5): Sleep range widened by one hour to 10-13 hours (previously it was 11-13) School age children (6-13): Sleep range widened by one hour to 9-11 hours (previously it was 10-11)
Teenagers (14-17): Sleep range widened by one hour to 8-10 hours (previously it was 8.5-9.5) Younger adults (18-25): Sleep range is 7-9 hours (new age category) Adults (26-64): Sleep range did not change and remains 7-9 hours Older adults (65+): Sleep range is 7-8 hours (new age category) Marione gave me a smart-watch for Christmas. One of the functions on it is to report my sleeping success. I have no idea how accurate it is and I’m sure there are disclaimers in the fine print that say “we’re not responsbile” for anything. Even so, it is fun to turn it on now and then. Most of the time it reports I get a little over 8 hours sleep with me being motionless for 92 percent of the time. It wasn’t such a good report on Monday morning. It showed I had 6 hours and 35 minutes of sleep with the motionless figure at 86 percent. A Joke Most seniors never get enough exercise. So, in his wisdom, God decreed that seniors would become forgetful, that they would have to search for their glasses, keys, and other things misplaced and move around more. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God saw there was yet another need. So God in his wisdom made seniors lose coordination that they would drop things, which would require them to bend and reach and stretch. And God looked down and saw that it was good. Then God considered the functioning of senior bladders and decided that in His wisdom there might be calls of nature more frequently, requiring more walking to the relief station, which would burn calories. God looked down and saw that it was good. Seniors were obliged to exercise more from these senior shortcomings and did become more active as a result. So if you find you are required to get up and down more as you age, remember it’s God’s will and in your best interest, even though you mutter under your breath. Amen! Let it be! And it is good.

The board had a full agenda from taking action to stop a major water leak in the auditorium, to accepting resignations of longtime teachers Vanessa Garvie and Gary Jenlink and rehiring teachers for next school year. A letter of resignation from Garvie was read and accepted regretfully by the board. Garvie taught kindergarten and was thanked for her 14 years of service to the school district.

Auditorium Leak and Demolition Bids Superintendent Elliott said after the heavy rains last week a major water leak was discovered on the west side of the auditorium coming into the wall from the outside. Elliott said the bushes will have to be removed and possibly the roots are part of the problem.

The work will be started after May 15 and should be completed within 10 days to two weeks. Mark Reed with A-Z attended the board meeting. The board also discussed and approved the estimate from A-Z Construction on building sidewalks at the teacherage in the amount of $9,656. The bid also including a sidewalk on the west side of the house. Jackson Wrecking won the bid for demolition of the school’s house
at 510 6th Street and the old cellar on the playground. The board opened, compared and discussed the bid before giving approval. The board gave the superintendent approval to meet with the company to make sure the quote meets all specifications for the job. Board members discussed and accepted a bid from Progressive Windows to remove and replace the windows on the west side of the cafeteria in the amount of $3,457.04. The agenda item regarding guttering on the teacherage was tabled until the next meeting. Purchasing a new activity bus from Village Charters Inc. was discussed and approved by the board. The superintendent, Graham and Scott Armbruster traveled to Wichita, Kansas, earlier to view the bus. At their March meeting, the board gave approval to make a down payment to hold the bus until the April meeting. The purchase was approved for $111,700. Encumbrances, change orders and warrants were approved as follows: • General fund encumbrances 385430: $27 7,827.60, change orders: $590.26, warrants 1069-1170: $324,415.68 • Building fund encumbrances: none, warrants 10: $124.25 • Child nutrition fund encumbrances 10: $5,000, change orders: none, warrants 86-95: $5,638.92 • Bond fund encumbrances 16-17: $ 77,055.76, warrants 15-16: $77,055.76 Other items receiving board approval were the March activity report, the ongoing vocational program for the 2015/2016 school year, a resolution directing the school treasurer to deposit all interest earned monies from the General Fund into the Building Fund for the 2015 Fiscal Year.

Recent rains ‘may have saved us from a total disaster’ By Yvonne Miller It’s been so long since this area saw big rains that filled the ditches and ponds and caused creeks to overflow their banks. But the rain finally came tumbling down in much of the Newsgram reading area (northwest Oklahoma and south central Kansas) starting last week and the forecast calls for more moisture. Some areas got near seven inches of rain throughout the week. People are so thankful. Because this area has been in a drought for many years now, the wheat crops in this agricultural area have suffered with moderate to low yields and in some cases zero. “Before the rain the wheat was not looking real good,” Alva Farmer’s Cooperative General Manager Ronnie Truelock said. “The rain saved what crop there was. If the rains would have come three weeks earlier it (harvest) would have been a lot different story.” Truelock said in places where the wheat was turning blue, it will come back with the rain. However, he said brown spots in the wheat crop are dead and won’t revive despite the moisture.
“Just a few more days and we wouldn’t have had much of a crop,” Truelock said. He estimates this area “has lost onethird of our yield (bushels per acre).” He said, “It’s not very viable wheat. We’re looking at 35 or 40 max yields. The stress hurt.” Truelock said some of the wheat that was planted the latest in the fall seems to look the best. “In some instances the wheat that was grazed a little looks better.” He said most of the wheat in the Alva area is beginning to head out – probably 50 to 75 percent headed out now. Some heads have already been determined – the number of berries they’ll produce. With the moisture, some heads will try to make some more berries. “The weather will determine the quality,” Truelock said. “Rain and cooler weather will help the crop’s test weight. “That’s friendly to the wheat crop,” he said. “We can be optimistic that we can add to the test weight. A mild May would be wonderful.” “We’ve yet to determine the quality of the crop,” Truelock said. He has not heard of many instances of hail damage to crops in his area. “The rain gives us an opportunity to plant summer crops such as milo,” Truelock said. When asked if much canola was planted there, Truelock said, “Woods County is down as low as anybody on canola.” Truelock reported on rain over the weekend – three inches west of Alva; Capron area two-and-a-half to three
inches; and two inches for the Alva area. “The cattlemen are going to do well with the grass – it’s really taken a flip and greened up,” Truelock said. More Elevator Operators Comment “We were reaching the point of no return – the rain saved us from a total disaster,” Burlington Cooperative General Manager Robbie Newman said. He said the approximately three inches and even more than that amount of rain in the Byron-Amorita area did good for the crops. However, he added, “The stuff that was terribly droughtstressed – I don’t know if it will benefit from the moisture.” Thankful for the rain and cooler weather, Newman said he knows of a few acres that were damaged with hail. However, he said hail loss doesn’t compare with the need for rain. He’s anxious to know how much the frost affected the wheat. “We’ll have to wait and see – it’s starting to head and we had some ice in the stem.” “Our prospects are definitely better than a week ago,” Newman said. Steve Inslee, General Manager of O.K. Grain in Kiowa, Kansas, said the rain “gives us a little bit of hope. It will definitely help us on some yields.” Inslee said some area farmers report hail damage to some crops. He said the rain should help out the smaller wheat if the freeze didn’t get it. The price of wheat was trading at $4.95 a bushel Tuesday. As this reporter stops to think, the wheat price was hovering around $5 when I graduated from high school in 1979. That’s sad.

From Page 6 Alfalfa County commissioners meeting Burlington By Leslie Nation CHEROKEE – The Alfalfa County commissioners met on Monday, April 20, at 10 a.m. for their regular meeting. Before continuing the meeting with regular business, the commissioners reviewed open bids that were turned in. First was a bid from Chief Fire and Safety from Chickasha for brush rigs for Nescatunga Responders. Because no bid was made for brush rigs for Helena Rescue, both Nescatunga and Helena accepted the bid of $89,917 apiece. The commissioners approved two brush rigs for Nescatunga and one for Helena. The next open bid reviewed was from Waller Glass Company from Enid for the installation of doors and windows in the Alfalfa County district attorney and sheriff’s office. The commissioners approved the one bid. The last two bids reviewed by the commissioners were for new stalls for the stall barn at the county fairgrounds.

Tornado touches down near Carmen A severe thunderstorm Saturday evening dropped pea-sized hail on several northwest Oklahoma locations. It was thick enough to cover the ground in Carmen. Shawn Stevens lives just west of Carmen and saw what looked like a tornado funnel touch down during the storm. Stevens and his wife Dee Dee farm west of Carmen. Dee Dee was away from home. Shawn with his two kids and his brother with his two children were working cattle when the storm arrived. They took shelter in the barn when the rain and hail started.
From Page 34
Then Shawn saw a funnel and started filming it on his phone, pointing out the funnel to the others. He could see it roping down but it had not reached the ground. Then it touched down and everyone moved away from the door and into Shawn’s office in the barn. The video was sent to KOCO Channel 5 in Oklahoma City where it has been posted on their website. KOCO reported that storm chaser Shane Helton saw the funnel when it was about halfway to the ground but did not see it touch down. However, he later saw debris from the Stevens’ farm.

Boston Schubert-Akin often takes her buddies Boomer and Cruiser with her on runs. She said, “There’s always lots of dogs along the race route with their owners. Like all of us, they were standing in the rain drenched. I think the dogs were probably wondering why they were there!” After the race Schubert-Akin said, “God bless the spectators and volunteers who stood in cold wind and rain for hours. My knees turned blue! Much better after hot shower, cheeseburger and fries … recovering nicely and feeling incredibly blessed.” She Runs to Raise Money for Multiple Sclerosis In the 21 years she’s run the Boston Marathon, Schubert-Akin has raised over $82,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. “I always set my goal for $10,000 each year. We raised $8,300 last year. We’ve raised over $10,000 this year and are still counting!” Furthering MS research is near to Schubert-Akin’s heart as her sister Yvonne Miller, the author of this story, was diagnosed with MS 28 years ago. The progressive disease marches on, taking away its victims’ ability to walk and much more. MS, a neurological autoimmune disease, affects each individual differently. Great strides in MS treatment and gaining in the search for a cause and cure have occurred thanks to dollars raised for research. To donate to the National MS Society through Schubert-Akin’s name and read a story on her running career, go to http://www.sweetlifeericka. com/2015/04/jennifers-story-21-bostonmarathons-a-whole-lot-more.html.
