(Radio Iowa) – Iowa’s three public universities start the fall semester today (Monday) and a northern Iowa physician suggests students concentrate on creating a common-sense daily routine. Dr. Kristin Avery, of the MercyOne Clear Lake Pediatric and Adolescent Care Clinic, says students should make every effort to get a quality amount of sleep.  “It’s hard when you go to college because no one is telling you when to go to bed or when to wake up,” Avery says. “Trying to come up with a consistent bedtime and wake-time is good, especially when kids will have class later and not necessarily at 8 AM, but trying to get up at the same time every day is really important.” Naps during the day are a no-no, according to Avery, who also says to avoid afternoon caffeine.

“As hard as it is, and I’m sure that no one wants to do that, but avoiding screen time before bedtime can be helpful,” she says. “Otherwise it just tells our brain to stay awake, so it’s good to avoid that as well.” Avery says students should make a list of their favorite healthy, easy-to-make foods and snacks and get those at the dining hall or the grocery store. She adds, it’s important to eat breakfast every day. “Grab a granola bar or a piece of fruit, that can be very helpful. Healthy snacks include cheese, cheese sticks, peanut butter and apples, avocados, granola bars are better than chips or things like that,” Avery says. “Trying to stick more protein-rich things such as hard-boiled eggs or cheeses is a good idea.” Avery says students need to make an effort to stay active instead of just going to class, returning to their room and laying around.

“You really have to look into what your campus offers and find what you enjoy,” she says. “Is there a rec center, or even just deciding to walk to class instead of taking the bus, joining some yoga classes and things like that. Finding what your friends are doing and just trying to implement a routine that way.” High school students who are in sports have structure for their exercise, but if they go off to college and aren’t in sports, they will lose that structure, so she says it’s important to try new things and build a new, healthy routine right away.

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa State Fair wrapped up Sunday after an 11-day run topping the one-million mark again. State Fair C-E-0 Gary Slater says there were not many negatives. “The fare is just tremendous this year — smooth running and whatnot, There’s a little devil in some of the details, but nothing that is any major thing,” he says. There was one day that saw more than three inches of rain in a short time that made for some wet fairgoers and some muddy areas. But the rest of the days were nice — which wasn’t a given with triple-digit temperatures and heat indices heading up to the Fair start.

“A month ago of having 95-96 degree temperatures here, we just didn’t know what was going to happen,” Slater says. “But it did settle down after the first weekend, and we’ve had just tremendous weather there until that rain.” Slater says fair ticket says are the top revenue source for the Iowa State Fair and he is pleased to see attendance top the one million mark (1,016,917) with Sunday’s numbers still to be finalized. “Attendance means a lot to us, we try our very, very best to have something for everybody out here. And that does mean dollars in the bank and the more people you get out here then the concessionaires and all of the vendors selling all their wares in the building are all happy when we’ve got a good crowd,” Slater says.

Saturday saw more than 128 thousand visitors — a record high for one day attendance, with Sunday still to be tallied. The total visitors could surpass last year’s one-million-94-thousand-480 mark. Slater says the business side of the fair continues for several weeks.  “It takes us a while just to pick everything up on the fairgrounds and put it back in the warehouse. Make sure you know if it’s still in good shape, or if it needs attention before next year and put those things in priority aisle or one that they’re good for next year’s aisle,” according to Slater. “And then of course paying bills, gosh, we’ll pay bills through the middle of October here it seems like from the Fair.” They will also work on the planning for next year’s State Fair.

“We’ll work with 4-H and F-F-A on livestock show schedules this fall. Entertainment, have offers in the works for next year’s grandstand show already,” he says. The 2023 Iowa State Fair will run from August 10th through the 20th.
