Construction zones may be a hazard

By BAILEY POOLMAN

Parents of toddler who shot himself given probation DUBUQUE (AP) — The parents of a Dubuque toddler who shot himself in the face have each been sentenced to five years of probation.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports 26-year-old Raven Harris and 30-year-old Willie Horsley Sr. were sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. Each had pleaded guilty to being a pro-

According to statistics by the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), so far this year, 11 people have died in Iowa work zones. Of those 11 people, all were motorists.

While the majority of these recent deaths occurred on Iowa interstates, some local administrators push safety as key when it comes to work zones in the area.

“It could be potentially serious,” said Union County Board of Supervisors President Ron Riley. “I think people need to obey the ‘road closed’ signs and try to take another route.”

Police say the little boy, Jeremiah Horsley, was playing with the .45-caliber handgun Jan. 3 when it went off. He was flown to an Iowa City hospital for treatment.

Harris and Horsley still faces several state charges related to the shooting. Harris’ trial is set for Sept. 20, while Horsley’s trial is set for Oct. 31.

A “road closed” sign sits facing the intersection at Osage Street and East Townline Road to deter drivers from traveling north through road construction Tuesday on Osage Street.

DES MOINES (AP) — The board that oversees Iowa’s three public universities says it wants to use a new two-year budget system that would include some tuition increases.

The Iowa Board of Regents announced Tuesday it wants the Legislature to support a

plan that would increase state funding to the universities by two percent each year for the budget years that end in 2018 and 2019. Additional money would go to the University of Northern Iowa in the first year.

Creston Hy-Vee customer to win 2016 Ford F-150

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Now through Nov. 13, those who shop at Creston Hy-Vee and swipe their HyVee Fuel Saver Plus Perks card will have the chance to win a red 2016 Ford F-150 with four-wheel drive.

“The purpose is to create some excitement and give somebody in our area a really cool prize,” said Jeremy Odem, Creston Hy-Vee store director. “We do a lot of giveaways throughout the year, whether it’s through our Facebook or through our

fuel-saver card, and nothing matches up to a truck, right?

So, it’s a pretty neat giveaway to say that somebody shopping at this location, one of our customers, is going to walk away with a brand-new Ford F-150.”

Each swipe of a customer’s Fuel Saver + Perks card, which is free to sign up for, equals one entry. So, frequent Hy-Vee shoppers will earn more entries into the contest.

On Saturdays, customers swiping their cards receive double entries.

Arizona old-guard Republicans advance in the primary PHOENIX (AP) — In a year of political outsiders, two of the most prominent and longest-serving Arizona Republicans bucked the trend and easily beat back primary challenges.

Sen. John McCain defeated a populist challenger on the right by more than 10 percentage points. And longtime lawman Joe Arpaio, the sheriff of metro Phoenix who became famous for immigration crackdowns and forcing inmates to wear pink underwear, garnered 66 percent of the vote while trouncing three opponents on Tuesday.

McCain, 80, and Arpaio, 84, will face tough challenges from Democrats in November.

McCain was not only dogged by a primary opponent who called him a failed, career politician unfit to serve, he also was inundated with questions about GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump had attacked many issues dear to the Arizona senator, including the family of a fallen soldier, NATO and even McCain’s own military service and time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. His insurgent, outsider message has constantly been at odds with McCain, the party’s 2008 White House nominee.

Yet McCain stuck by his support for Trump, at times seemingly through gritted teeth. He repeatedly avoided calling Trump by name, instead saying he’ll support his party’s nominee.

Trump is set to roll out his much-anticipated immigration plan Wednesday in McCain’s backyard in Phoenix, with Republican Gov. Doug Ducey making his first appearance with the GOP nominee. Ducey, like McCain, has said he supports his party’s nominee but avoided

Trump in his previous four campaign stops in Arizona.

There’s no word if McCain will appear at the event.

Arpaio won the Republican primary despite a cloud of legal troubles hanging over him. He trounced his three opponents after raising $11.3 million — a staggering sum for a sheriff’s race. He will face retired Phoenix police Officer Paul Penzone, the same opponent who took on Arpaio in 2012.

Arpaio also plans to appear with Trump Wednesday, as he has throughout the billionaire businessman’s campaign.

All nine U.S. House seats in the state were also on the primary ballot, though just a few are tight races.

A heavily GOP district in the eastern Phoenix suburbs, for instance, featured a fourway race among Republicans who want to replace retiring Rep. Matt Salmon. Former dot-com executive Christine Jones had a narrow lead over Senate President Andy Biggs in a race that was too close to call. “Enough of these same old career politicians in Washington,� Jones told a jubilant crowd of supporters as results were being tallied.

If she wins, Jones’ victory will be a blow to Salmon, a member of the Congressional Freedom Caucus who chose Biggs as his replacement.

The winner of the GOP primary is almost assured a general election victory in the heavily Republican district.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu defeated four other Republicans in a sprawling that spans much of eastern Arizona outside the Tucson and Phoenix metro areas.

He’ll face the Democrat seeking Kirkpatrick’s seat, Tom O’Halleran.

K r u s e said. “It is not safe at all.

According to Iowa State Patrol officers, people who drive through construction zones with proper signage can be ticketed for failure to obey a traffic control sign.

Officers can use discretion, though, based on where the sign is located and where the driver is going. However, if the road is blocked with barricades, Iowa State Patrol officers can issue the tickets.

Also, since 2008, anyone ticketed for any moving traffic violation within a construction zone has to pay a doubled fine. Before 2008, the only doubled violation

was speeding.

According to the Iowa DOT, in 2014 there were 12 accidents in work zones on country roads that resulted in injuries and 16 resulting in property damage to the vehicle. That same year in work zones on city streets, there was one fatality, 50 injury accidents and 107 property damage accidents.

In 2015, the numbers dropped to no fatalities on county roads or city streets in work zones. There were seven injury accidents and eight property damage accidents reported in county road work zones and 39 injury accidents and 97 property damage accidents in city street work zones.

At the bridge project on West Adams Street by McKinley Lake, Kruse has heard people driving through the project is an issue. “I’ve noticed a few (driving through), what little time I’ve been out there,�

Kruse said. “But the contractors told me it’s really a problem.�

California farmworkers on edge about overtime bill MENDOTA, Calif. (AP) — Many California farmworkers who make up the backbone of the nation’s No. 1 agricultural state were praising historic legislation that brings them closer to receiving the same overtime pay as the rest of the state’s workers who are paid by the hour.

If signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, a new overtime bill would put California at the forefront nationally of farm labor pay and mark a victory in the fight to improve farmworkers rights in the decades old movement launched by Cesar Chavez, the legendary co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association who fought for higher farm worker pay.

Brown, a Democrat, has not said whether he will sign the law that would be the first of its kind for the United States.

Florentino Reyes, 48, has been picking tomatoes and working a wide variety of crops in California’s fertile Central Valley for more than two decades and says he could make another $60 weekly. That would give him more purchasing power to

buy better food and clothes for his wife and three children and ease his stress over paying down bills. “For me, it’s discrimination,� said Reyes, finishing up Tuesday’s harvesting of green tomatoes near the town of Mendota.

But other farmworkers are nervous about California farmers’ claims that the higher overtime pay could hurt them economically and outprice California products from the marketplace in favor of crops grown in other states and countries.

Gonzalo Najera, who drives a tractor on Salinas Valley’s lettuce, carrots and broccoli fields, said some farmers are saying the extra overtime payments could drive them out of the state, but he doesn’t buy the argument. “The growers can’t leave,�

Najera said. “They can’t take their dirt with them.�

The 35-year-old father of four also has parents back in Mexico, who rely on money he regularly sends. He earns about $33,000 a year and said he has worked seven days a week since March this year.

The added overtime pay he

expects to receive will correct a longstanding injustice so farm workers are no longer treated as second class California employees, Najera said.

Under the current law, California employers must pay time-and-a-half to farmworkers after 10 hours a day or 60 hours a week. Lawmakers in Sacramento on Monday sent the legislation to Brown that would give them overtime after eight hours in a day or 40 hours a week. It is backed by the United Farm Workers, which Chavez helped found in 1962, more than three decades before his death.

Farmers vehemently oppose it, and third-generation almond and olive farmer Pat Ricchiuti said approval by Brown could prompt him to cut his workers’ take-home pay by as much as 33 percent. The Fresno Country farmer says he and others he know would respond by limiting crews to eight hours by finding other workers and increasing their use of farm machinery. “It is really, really sad,� he said. “The only people

Ricchuiti argued that farming shouldn’t be compared to other industries, because it is seasonal, susceptible to unpredictable weather and the availability of water, a scarce resource in drought-stricken California, he said. Each of these limit when he needs workers to certain times of the year, he said.

Farm worker Juan Valencia, 39, who raises calves on a Fresno County dairy, said he often works more than 60 hours weekly and gets overtime but fears his boss might cut him to 40 hours — making it hard for him to support his wife and two young children. “They make it sound pretty. It’s not going to be pretty at all,� said Valencia, who earns about $32,000 a year. “I’m going to have to look for another job.�

Reyes, the tomato picker, said the farmers’ claims are political heat aimed at trying to prevent Brown from giving him the same pay protections that the rest of California’s hourly workers have. “We’ve been waiting for this change,� he said.

movement, where staff were able to direct inmates when to move about the facility, it took over an hour just to locate and identify the inmates involved in the fight. During this time, the facility was placed on restricted movement for only six hours, and 17 inmates were placed in administrative segregation for their involvement in the fight.

This incident magnified the staffing crisis at hand due to already-limited staff having to escort inmates and move property.

“Ultimately, Clarinda Correctional Facility, just like all of our correctional facilities in the state, is dangerously understaffed and officers’ lives are being put at risk. These recent events are further proof of that.

In addition, the policies of the Iowa Department of Corrections (IDOC) and CCF have fostered an inmate environment of disrespect for authority, disruptive behavior and an entitlement to not follow procedures put in place to provide a safe and secure environment. What will it take for the IDOC to take the concerns of our correctional officers seriously?”

Kaepernick’s struggles HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Minnesota Vikings will unveil their new stadium on NBC this Sunday night. It’s got a see-through roof and two gigantic jumbo screens. In addition, it has a plush reclining chair on the sideline for Colin Kaepernick to sit in during the national anthem when San Francisco comes to town.

San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem Friday, saying it stands for racism even though he himself was adopted and raised by white parents. He’s now in Kaepernick talks with Hollywood to make a movie about his childhood. It’s called “18 Years a Slave.”

because of his spree in Rio. He drunkenly attacked a gas station bathroom door, urinated on the building, paid off the security guard at gunpoint, then said he’d been robbed. He faces four charges of trying to make America great again.

A German scientist working in a laboratory in Israel created a sonic black hole on Friday. The sonic black hole is when sound waves can’t escape from a fluid moving faster than the speed of sound and creates total silence. If only he could’ve been perfected it before this election cycle began.

The L.A. Times took Hillary Clinton to task for her non-stop fundraising raids on Los Angeles last weekend. She attended doz-

ens in Beverly Hills. At the last party she walked into the house and was seated in the living room and surrounded by her friends, who told Hillary this is an intervention.

Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff Huma Abedin finally took action against her husband former Congressman Anthony Weiner when additional sexual escapades with other women came to light Monday. She left him for cheating on her. It’s Hillary’s first failure at presidential leadership.

Donald Trump will deliver a nationally televised speech today from Phoenix in which he will lay out his immigration plan for the border. Trump spent the last week making his original plan a little more humane. Instead of building a wall, he only wants a heavy curtain or a moveable partition.

Donald Trump used the latest shooting spree in Chicago to go on Twitter ask for black votes in Chicago, claiming that he’ll

work with police chiefs and help end the violence. This week the city of Chicago offered political asylum to hundreds of families in war-torn Syria. They’re thinking it over.

The New York Post columnist Cindy Adams wrote fondly of Donald Trump’s days in the ‘70s when he chased beauty pageant winners all over town. We know one thing, if Trump is elected president he cannot be blackmailed for any skeletons in his closet. He’s proud of every one of them.

Donald Trump continued referring to Hillary Clinton as Crooked Hillary in a tweet Sunday in which he dared Crooked Hillary to release her medical records. That could backfire on the GOP candidate. Paula Jones has already testified under oath in federal court that Bill was the crooked one.

Donald Trump softened his demand that all illegal immigrants

be sent home Wednesday at his rally in Mississippi. The crowd of Southerners understood perfectly. The Civil War settled the great moral question of whether America’s farm work was going to be done by slaves or illegal immigrants.

Daily Variety says a Hollywood studio is going to make a movie about the late Wisconsin cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer. After 20 years there’s still a family legal battle over the cannibal’s brain.

His mother wanted the brain donated to a medical school but his father wanted it donated to a law school.

2016

For years, Obamacare supporters have been telling critics of the law to shut up and fall in line. Now, they are urging them to come to its rescue.

A key part of President Barack Obama’s domestic legacy is sputtering so badly that even the law’s boosters are admitting that the federal government needs to do more to prop it up. The Obamacare exchanges were supposed to enhance choices and hold down costs – and are doing neither. Abandoned by more and more insurers, the exchanges – once billed as robust “marketplaces” – are becoming pitiful shadows of themselves.

In most or all of states like Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Tennessee, probably only one insurer will offer insurance through the exchanges next year, reports The Wall Street Journal.

One large county in Arizona may have no exchange insurer at all.

An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that 31 percent of counties in the U.S. will have one insurer, and another 31 percent will have just two.

It isn’t Republicans who are hobbling the law. It isn’t the greedy insurance companies, which were overoptimistic about the exchanges at the outset and are now paying the price. It is fundamental economic forces that the law’s architects blithely ignored. But economic incentives will not be mocked.

Obamacare regulations make

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

health insurance more expensive and keep insurers from conducting their business on a rational basis. This means the exchanges are less attractive to younger and healthier people and therefore less economical for insurers. The mandate was supposed to force healthier people to buy insurance anyway, but it has proven too weak, and subsidies were supposed to cover the higher costs for poorer people, but they are only a Band-Aid on spiraling costs.

The exchanges have created perverse insurance products that feature the worst of all worlds: They have high premiums, and high deductibles and copays, and limited networks of doctors. No wonder the exchanges have attracted half as many people as they were expected to. Leave it to the federal government to create a market so unappealing that it is borderline unsustainable.

When Aetna announced it was exiting all but four state exchanges about two weeks ago, liberals charged that the company was exacting revenge on the Obama administration for blocking its hoped-for merger with Humana.

But what accounts for UnitedHealthcare pulling back, and all the other exoduses? All these insurers made a go of it on the

exchanges before reality slapped them in the face.

Insurance companies may be as malevolent as their fiercest critics depict them, but one can’t really begrudge them needing to make some money. If the Department of Health and Human Services can spin and obfuscate, these companies can’t ignore the bottom line.

Analysts expect the insurers remaining in the exchanges to ask for big premium hikes next year.

The answer to this turbulence, the law’s supporters say, is yet more subsidies. They are paying an inadvertent obeisance to the old Ronald Reagan quip that the government’s view of the economy is: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” Obamacare’s boosters are loath to admit that there might be something wrong with the structure of a law that they have celebrated as a glorious success from the day it passed.

Instead, they will now argue that Republicans are sabotaging it by declining to double down on its subsidies.

But it obviously makes no sense for the government to make a product more expensive with one hand and then to subsidize its cost with the other. This was pointed out at the time the law was being debated. But the Obama administration and its allies were too transfixed with “making history.”

And so they did – by passing an Affordable Care Act that is one of the great misnomers in the history of major American legislation.

Northey comments on Iowa crops and weather report DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa crops and weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Unfortunately, the heavy rains that rolled through northeast Iowa last week caused significant flooding and continue to create challenges for farmers and communities,” Northey said. “But, in general, crops continue to move towards maturity and remain in pretty good condition with 83 percent of corn and 82 percent of beans rated good to excellent.”

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ ia. The report summary follows here:

Crop report Above normal precipitation resulted in just 4.1 days suitable for fieldwork across Iowa during the week ending Aug. 28, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included chopping corn for silage and planting cover crops.

Producers continued to cut hay when conditions were dry enough.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 4 percent short, 83 percent adequate and 12 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 82 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Ponding and flooding of some fields were reported in the northern two-thirds of Iowa.

Ninety-four percent of the corn crop reached the dough stage or beyond, eight days ahead of the five-year average, with 65 percent dented or beyond, five days ahead of both last year and normal. Corn was starting to mature, most notably in the southern third of the state. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent despite some reports of crop damage from heavy rain and wind during the week.

Soybeans setting pods reached 96 percent, four days ahead of last year.

Thirteen percent of soybeans have started to turn color, three days ahead of last year’s pace. Soybean condition rated 82 percent good to excellent, although there were reports of sudden death and white mold in some soybean fields. Oats harvested for grain or seed was virtually complete.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 73 percent complete, one week ahead of last year. Pasture condition rated 64 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were normal although higher insect numbers and muddy feedlots were reported in some areas of the state.

Iowa preliminary weather summary

By Harry Hillaker, state climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship The big weather news this week was the torrential rains and flooding over far northeast Iowa on Tuesday, Aug. 23, into Wednesday, Aug. 24, morning. Widespread rain amounts of greater than four inches were common from Worth County eastward to Allamakee County and on into southwest Wisconsin. Heaviest rains were centered in Winne-

shiek County where 8.46 inches fell overnight at a location five miles southeast of Decorah. Record flooding occurred along portions of the Upper Iowa and Turkey rivers.

Rain fell nearly statewide Tuesday, Aug. 23, night but with highly variable amounts.

Another, much smaller area of excessive rain, fell across east central Nebraska and edged into southwest Harrison County where De Soto Bend National Wildlife Refuge picked up 5.38 inches. Otherwise, there were thunderstorms scattered across the southern onethird to one-half of Iowa on Wednesday, Aug. 24, night and over much of Iowa on Friday night, Aug. 26, into Saturday, Aug. 27, morning.

Additional thunderstorms developed over the southern one-third of the state Sunday, Aug. 28, evening but largely fell too late to be reflected in this week’s crop statistics.

Rain totals for the week varied from none over a small area extending from Onawa to just northwest of Sac City to 8.95 inches five miles southeast of Decorah. The statewide average precipitation was 1.19 inches, a little above the weekly normal of 0.91 inches.

Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged right at normal. The warmest weather came on Sunday, Aug. 28, with highs reaching 91 degrees at Bellevue and Burlington while Monday, Aug. 22, and Friday, Aug. 26, were the coolest days. Elkader reported the week’s lowest temperature with a Monday morning low of 48 degrees.

Not only did all com-

pete with their cattle at the show, but also spent the week participating in several contests the association offers. Cattlemen’s quiz is a test taken by juniors on the knowledge of the cattle industry. Public speaking is an extemporaneous speech that each contestant gets 30 minutes to prepare for a 3- to 6-minute speech on the cattle industry. Sales talk is the contestant’s ability to sell their animal and its genetic benefits to two prospective buyers within a 10-minute time frame. Cattle judging contest includes eight classes of cattle and at least two sets of oral reasons.

Pasta pointers Dear Heloise: Does it matter when you SALT THE PASTA WATER -- before or after boiling?

Also, when making multiple pasta dishes, can one use the pasta water twice? Since it’s already hot, it would boil again quickly. -- Ed C., via email Add salt to the water once it comes to a rapid boil.

Adding salt before heating the water can cause pitting in the bottom of pots. The pasta will become seasoned with the salt water as it cooks.

Do not use the same water to make a second batch of pasta. As pasta cooks, it releases starch into the water (that’s what makes the water look cloudy). You don’t want to already have starchy water when cooking new pasta, which will release more starch as it cooks. -Heloise P.S. Remember not to rinse the pasta after cooking, because the starch helps sauces stick to the pieces of pasta. Rinse only pasta that you are using for cold dishes.

Hints from Heloise read about a person’s oliveusage dilemma. (Heloise here: The reader asked how to store black olives once a can was opened.) I had the same problem. They now make black and green olives in a “to-go” type of small container (pack of four) that does not need refrigeration until opened. They are the perfect size for one serving, for not taking up space in the refrigerator, and for taking with you for meals away from home. I love it when manufacturers make easy, small packages. -- D.P., via email These to-go packs are perfect for smaller portions, but beware: They are typically more expensive than cans. -- Heloise

but I’ve never bought one because of my limited storage space. My solution has been to make a temporary one when I want one.

Horoscope For Thursday, Sept. 1, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Things might be dicey when dealing with bosses at work today. Knowing this ahead of time, don’t make an issue of things. You cannot push the river.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Parents will have to be patient with kids today. (Sometimes it’s all a bit much.) Likewise, romantic partners will have to be patient with each other.

(Again, it’s a bit much.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)Someone in a position of authority might block your wishes today, especially regarding family issues. Don’t make a big deal about anything. It’s not worth it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Avoid arguments with others, especially with siblings, relatives and neighbors. It will be hard for you to stick up for yourself, because others are intimidating today.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Financial squabbles are likely today. Don’t go up against others, especially if they have authority or power. Keep a low profile.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Today is somewhat restrictive and possibly even depressing.

This is why you want to break free from your rut but feel you cannot.

Easy does it. Wait till tomorrow!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It seems others just get in your way today, no matter what you do. Naturally, you feel frustrated. Nevertheless, be courteous.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Group plans or an interaction with a friend will be stymied today, possibly because of financial limitations. You can’t win them all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You cannot escape the duties and responsibilities that others demand of you today, even though you don’t want to deliver. Just suck it up and face the facts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Authority figures related to politics, religion or the government might be challenging today. Today is the kind of day where you have to toe the line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You have to pay your dues today and carry your fair share when it comes to group activi-

ties. This might seem onerous; however, it is what it is. When you’re dealing with others, there’s no free lunch.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with parents and bosses are dicey today, because they will interfere with what you want to do. The fact is, you cannot get your way.

However, this is just a temporary setback, because tomorrow is a fabulous day!

YOU BORN TODAY Charming and sociable, you like things to be organized.

You are ambitious and innovative, and always trustworthy and reliable. You are a natural leader and are comfortable with authority. A new nine-year cycle is beginning for you. This opens up many possibilities.

You might start a new business activity or change residences.

Open any door, because your future is in your hands.

Adair County 4-H youth council gives back GREENFIELD – Sixteen Adair County 4-H youth council members, three chaperones – HA and Cindy Gross and Karen Downing – along with Deena Wells, youth council adviser from Adair County ISU Extension, delivered pop tabs and provided and prepared a full meal for staff, volunteers and guests at the Ronald McDonald House in Des Moines.

The majority of the pop tabs were donated by Mrs. Marnin’s Nodaway Valley first-grade class. Youth council members also helped fund and package 5,000 meals at Meals from the Heartland. Youth in Adair County are making a difference and giving back.

After their community service was completed, members enjoyed lunch and a fun afternoon in the sun at Adventureland Park.

The Adair County 4-H youth council is made up of high school-aged teens from various school districts in Adair County.

Dog Gone Rescue to hold shoe collection drive Dog Gone Rescue is conducting a shoe collection drive from Sept. 6 to Nov. 5 to raise funds for animals in their care until adopted. These funds will pay for vet expenses, food, cat litter, kennels, collars/leashes, bowls and anything else the animal will need until a forever home can be found.

All of the adoptables are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heart-worm tested, Leuk/Fiv tested (for cats), given shots and any other medical care necessary. These funds are vital in keeping Dog Gone Rescue going.

Dog Gone Rescue will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all of the donated goods. Those dollars will enable the rescue to continue to help animals in need in Creston and surrounding counties. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes. This includes not only sneakers, but heels, boots, sandals and anything you can put on your feet.

Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and others in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house families.

One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school.

“We are excited about our shoe drive,” said Victoria Brammer, Dog Gone Rescue assistant director. “We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient.”

“It’s a win-win for everyone,” said Janel McLain, Dog Gone Rescue director.

By donating shoes to the “Shoes for Shelters” with Dog Gone Rescue, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in the lives of people and animals alike.

Local organizations interested in learning more about conducting a shoe drive of their own can visit Funds2orgs.com.

If any business would like to be a drop-off location, or with any questions about donating, contact Brammer at victoria@doggonerescue.

Find fun, fresh ways to use your cherished china (BPT) – Sometimes collecting all the pieces to your cherished wedding china may take more time than you think. It took Jill Rogers four decades.

“After 44 years of marriage, I got the soup bowls I wanted; Mama would be so proud to know I finally have exactly what she wanted for me,” says Rogers.

“My mother started this pattern for me in high school, buying pieces from the area grocery store.

The fact she started it was so sweet and special.”

Over the years, Rogers actually forgot the name of her pattern. That’s when she turned to dinnerware giant, Replacements, Ltd. The company’s research team not only identified Rogers’ vintage pattern through Replacements’ free pattern identification service, they even had the pieces she needed to complete her set.

“I collected pieces here and there through the years but never had more than six place settings,” adds Rogers. “We use it for special family occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries, and sometimes we take our special china out just for us.”

Replacements’ designer, Julie Robbins, hears similar stories from baby boomers like Rogers, who after years of collecting, finally completed their patterns. However, as families mature and styles evolve, boomers are increasingly asking Robbins for fun ways to refresh their treasured patterns.

“They love their wedding china and

are attached to it because it means so much to them, but they want to freshen it up and give their dinnerware a more current look and feel,” says Robbins.

“It’s really easy to stay true to tradition, yet transform your table by adding a splash of color or different medium.

Mixing and matching patterns continues to be a huge trend in tabletop, transcending all ages, from millennials to boomers.”

So, how do you go about creating a look that makes you want to take your vintage china out of storage and use it every day?

Start by looking for complementing patterns that fit your lifestyle.

“You might start with a piece that you use on a regular basis, such as a salad plate, then build around that piece by adding patterns that pull out a color, shape or feeling that accentuates the current pattern you already own,” adds Robbins.

And who says your dinnerware is just for eating? Find fun ways to use it around your home.

“Think outside the dining room,” says Robbins. “I inherited a set that I love but didn’t fit my entertaining style, so I took the tea cups and now use them for notions in my sewing room.

You could also use cups to hold doodads in any room of your house, while tureens and teapots make wonderful flower vases. I find bathrooms and powder rooms are great places to use old china because those rooms are often under-decorated and very antiseptic. Using old, pretty serving pieces,

such as an oval veg- rooms warmer and etable or sugar bowl more inviting.” to hold soap or flow- Looking for more ers, helps make those ideas or would like

Iowa Corn 300 date set NEWTON – INDYCAR officials published its complete 2017 schedule, which includes the return of the Verizon IndyCar Series to Iowa Speedway, the first race of the two-year extension that was announced earlier this summer.

The Iowa Corn 300 will take place between the road course at Road America and the Streets of Toronto. Next season, the stars of INDYCAR will hit the progressive banking of “The Fastest Short Track on the Planet” on July 9, 2017, for the Iowa Corn 300 – the 11th race of the INDYCAR season. The start time will be announced at a later date.

“We’re huge INDYCAR fans in central Iowa, so the announcement of the 2017 schedule is great for fans, as they plan for next summer,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small.

“The Iowa Corn 300 has become a bucket-list item for race fans, and we are thrilled to continue bringing the Verizon IndyCar Series to Iowa each year just as we have done since 2007.”

The early announcement of the IndyCar Series dates, along with the one NASCAR made in May, sets up three high-octane weekends of racing at Iowa Speedway in 2017. Next summer’s Iowa Corn 300 race weekend will also feature the ARCA Racing Series Iowa 150 on Saturday, July 8, giving race fans a full complement of stock-car and open-wheel racing.

Iowa Speedway gained international attention in 2007 when INDYCAR be-

came the first major series to race at the physically and mentally demanding track. Since that time, the premier drivers of openwheel racing have returned to Newton each year. The Iowa Corn 300, entering its 11th year in 2017, is the second-longest entitlement sponsorship in INDYCAR racing.

“Iowa Speedway is a vital component of the Verizon IndyCar Series schedule and we know our fans, drivers and teams are happy to see this key short oval on our schedule,” said Jay Frye, president of competition and operations for INDYCAR. “All the great people at Iowa Corn and Iowa Speedway work diligently to make our race such a great event, and we’re looking forward to INDYCAR’s future at Iowa Speedway.”

Season tickets are available for renewal online or through the Iowa Speedway box office now through March 3, 2017, the Friday following the Daytona 500.

Fans looking to become first-time season-ticket holders are encouraged to purchase tickets during this same time frame. Single vent and weekend packages will go on sale to the general public on November 25, just in time for the holidays.

The 2017 Iowa Speedway schedule includes: NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Iowa 200 – Friday, June 23 NASCAR XFINITY Series American Ethanol E15 250 presented by Enogen – Saturday, June 24

Prizes to be awarded at YMCA 18-hole golf tourney in Red Oak RED OAK – The 2016 YMCA 18-Hole Four Person Best Ball Golf Tournament will take place Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Red Oak Country Club with a 9 a.m. shot-gun start.

Be the first golfer to get a hole in one on hole No. 4 and win a 2016 Jeep Cherokee from sponsor Red Oak Chrysler.

Join the golf game that will include flag prizes, betting holes, door prizes, luncheon and prize money for the top teams in their respective golf flights. The event also has sponsorship golf hole opportunities and area businesses can donate prizes as well for flag and door prizes.

All proceeds will benefit the YMCA’s annual campaign, “The Y. For a

better us.” This program assists youth, adults, older adults, single parent families, and families in need of YMCA program and/ or membership services that are experiencing financial limitations. Also, proceeds subsidize many youth YMCA programs.

The 2016 campaign goal is $55,000 and the campaign has presently raised $40,000.

To enter your team in this event, contact Nick Zimmer, YMCA executive director at the Montgomery County Family YMCA, at 712-623-2161 or stop in at the facility, which is located at 101 E. Cherry St. in Red Oak Legion Park.

Sioux City police release details in parking lot shooting SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Police say a Sioux City restaurant parking lot had been a meeting spot for a man who apparently killed himself after shooting the woman he had been meeting there.

On Tuesday police released the pair’s names. The dead man was identified as 46-year-old Michael Hasson, of North Sioux City, South Dakota. The wounded woman was identified as 54-yearold Christine Fuentes, who lives in Sioux City. She was taken to Mercy Medical Center-Sioux City after Sun-

day evening’s shooting in the Chili’s lot just north of the Missouri River.

Police say the two drove separately to the lot, and then Hasson got into Fuentes’ vehicle, where the shootings took place. Police say their investigation points to an attempted murder-suicide. Autopsy results are pending.

House ablaze: A house located on West Spencer Street in Creston burns down Tuesday

evening during a controlled burn by Creston Fire Department. Dr. Amy Hynek McFarland, general surgeon at Greater Regional Medical Center, and husband Stacy McFarland own the property on which the house was located and had it burned down in order to build a new home there.

Union County 4-H represented at state clothing event Clarissa Hoffman, member of Highland Highlights 4-H club, represented Union County at the state level in the “Awardrobe” clothing event held Aug. 12 in Ames.

The Awardrobe event is for 4-H’ers interested in showcasing apparel design and production knowledge, as well as their creativity skills. There are three categories within the 4-H Awardrobe clothing event – clothing selection, fashion revue and the $15 challenge.

Hoffman was selected at the county level by two judges this past July during the county’s clothing day event. She participated in the clothing selection category which is where a 4-H’er purchases an outfit while paying attention to cost effectiveness, style and where they plan to wear the outfit.

During the Awardrobe event, 4-H’ers from across Iowa come together to learn about fashion through workshops, modeling, tours of the Iowa State University fashion departments and interviews with judges. The daylong event ends with a style show from the 4-H’ers as they model their outfits for the public.

“Getting to meet other 4-H’ers from across Iowa who are interested in fashion and apparel was a neat experience,” Hoffman said.

“Also, I loved having the

Panther harriers pushed in season-opening meet n Four earn

medals in first competition of new season

By RYAN KRONBERG CNA sports editor rkronberg@crestonnews.com

DALLAS CENTER — A relatively young Creston cross country team took to the course at Dallas Center-Grimes in Tuesday’s season-opening meet.

Panthers coach Pat Schlapia saw three of his young athletes come away with medals in the meet.

The top seven in each grade level

earned medals.

Ben Irr placed sixth in the senior boys race and 20th overall.

Sophomore Brielle Baker was ninth overall and second in her Irr division. Senior Lexie Little was fifth in her division and 23rd overall. Rachel Shepherd was 29th overall and sixth in the senior girls race.

Of the 166 girls entered, 10 of Creston’s 16 girls placed in the top half. Of the 272 boys entered, five Panthers finished in the top half.

“Overall, I thought the kids ran real well,” Schlapia said. “Individually, I was real happy with what the girls did and the boys went out and

competed.”

Of the 11 boys, seven were running in their first high school cross country race. Of the 16 girls, eight were in their first Baker race.

“One of the goals was to get their first meet under their belt,” Schlapia siad. “They understand what we’re talking about. They can see what the mental and physical part is about. It was a good opener for us.”

Every one of Schlapia’s runners can build from this meet.

“For us, the positive was 1-from27, 16 girls, 11 boys, each one of them came out and did their best,” Schlapia said. “We competed

well all the way through. That was a nice positive.”

A number of ranked teams tested the Panthers in both races.

“It was nice to challenge ourselves against that competition,” Schlapia said.

The teams at the meet tested Schlapia’s young crew.

“It was pretty salty competition,” Schlapia

Panthers fall a few points short in volleyball opener

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@crestonnews.com

Through two sets Tuesday night, the A-D-M Tigers looked flat out better than the Creston Panthers volleyball team.

Over the next two, it was the Panthers who looked undoubtedly better.

Ultimately, the Tigers pulled out a heart-stopping 15-13 win in the Creston High School gymnasium to win the match 3-2.

The Panthers fall to 0-1 on the season and the Tigers moved to 5-1 with the win.

Creston hosts Clarinda on Thursday.

The Panthers fell in consecutive sets to start the night by matching scores of 25-16.

“Is this how you want it to end tonight?” Creston coach Polly Luther asked her team after the second set.

Creston looked out-of-sync to start its first match of the season, but picked things up after coming back out for the third set. Creston won the third and fourth sets by scores of 25-17 and 25-18.

“We talk a lot about fluency, and until you’re in tough competition it’s hard to get that,” Luther said.

“These girls have’t been together a ton this being our first game, and so getting to know each other and our capabilities and what to expect out of one another is pretty key, and I thought that games three, four and five that we handled that much better.”

No. 17 Iowa relying on young receivers in 2016

By LUKE MEREDITH, AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz will typically play veterans he trusts over youngsters who might have more potential.

Ferentz won’t have a choice but to lean on at least a few untested kids at wide receiver in 2016.

The 17th-ranked Hawkeyes will be led by one of the Big Ten’s best in senior Matt VandeBerg, who caught 65 passes a year ago. After him, experience is slight.

Three of the six players listed on the depth chart for Iowa’s season opener against Miami of Ohio on Saturday have never played a game for the Hawkeyes (12-2 in 2015). A fourth, Jerminic Smith,

had just six receptions as a freshman in 2015. A fifth, senior Riley McCarron, has just 93 career yards receiving.

“I think we’ve made good strides,” Ferentz said. “How ready we are? We’ll find out on Saturday. But we’re making good progress there.”

The lone newcomer to earn a starting nod for the opener was Jay Scheel, a sophomore from Mount Auburn, Iowa, that Hawkeyesfans have been excited to see for years.

Scheel was a touted recruit who made the switch from quarterback to receiver when he got to Iowa. A redshirt year was followed in 2015 by a year spent sitting behind departed seniors Tevaun Smith (32 catches for 563 yards in 2015) and Jacob Hillyer (16 catches in 2015).

But Scheel earned the starting

nod at split end over Jerminic Smith, who gained over 100 yards in less than a half subbing for the injured Tevaun Smith in a win over Illi- Ferentz nois last year, despite missing some time in August with a hamstring injury.

“He’s shown a lot of improvement,” senior quarterback C.J. Beathard said. “He and Jerminic are going to have to step up, and they were improving as camp went on. I’m excited to see them out there.”

McCarron is also listed as a starter, and Ferentz praised the strides he has made on Monday.

But it might not be long before

true freshman Devonte Young overtakes him on the depth chart.

Iowa was the first school to offer Young a scholarship back when he was a sophomore at North Point High in Maryland, where he went on to earn league player of the year honors in 2015.

“He’s a pretty mature young guy,” Ferentz said. “He’s picked up the offense pretty well. He’s done some things that have really impressed us.”

But even if Scheel, Young and sophomore Ronald Nash — a rare junior college transfer listed as VandeBerg’s backup — prove to be Big Ten ready, it’s tough to imagine anyone but VandeBerg leading Iowa in catches in 2016.

He is a classic Iowa success story under Ferentz, an overlooked recruit from South Dakota whose 65

receptions were third-best in program history.

“We’ve had good chemistry for a couple of years now, and I think a big part of our offense’s success will be how he and I relate to each other,” Beathard said.

Still, Iowa will need more than just VandeBerg to contend for another Big Ten West title.

But the Hawkeyes’ young wideouts have already earned the approval of star cornerback Desmond Kind, who spent the past month playing against them during fall camp.

“We have a very, very hungry wide receiving corps. I believe they have a lot of talent over there,” King said.

Yankees hold off Royals 5-4 in 10 innings KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — This was the great escape and it wasn’t entirely clear the New York Yankees deserved it.

But they will more than take it.

In a crazy night of baseball, which included a 59-minute rain delay that sent Masahiro Tanaka to the showers early, the Yankees topped the Royals, 5-4, in 10 innings at Kauffman Stadium.

The Yankees (68-63), who got a two-run homer from slumping rookie Aaron Judge in a three-run second inning, stayed 31/2

games behind the Baltimore Orioles for the AL’s second wild-card spot.

The Royals (69-63), who left the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th, lost for just the fifth time in their last 23 games.

The winning rally came in the 10th against Joakim Soria, who allowed back-toback singles to Brian McCann and Chase Headley.

Aaron Hicks pinch ran for McCann and went to third when Brett Gardner, who reached base five times, walked with two outs to load the bases. Jacoby Ellsbury then collected his fourth

hit of the day, a bouncer back up the middle that deflected off Soria for a single that pushed Hicks across to make it 5-4.

With Dellin Betances having pitched the previous two innings, Joe Girardi brought on rookie righthander Ben Heller, one of four prospects acquired from the Indians in the Andrew Miller deal, for the 10th.

Heller hit the first batter he faced, Raul Mondesi, who stole second. Leadoff man Jarrod Dyson lined a single to center, putting runners on the corners for Lorenzo Cain. The rightfielder

struck out and, after Eric Hosmer was intentionally walked to load the bases, lefthander Chasen Shreve came on to face Kendrys Morales. Shreve, recalled earlier in the day, struck out Morales, then got Salvador Perez to fly to center to end it.

Tanaka, 4-0 with a 1.63 ERA in his previous four starts, pitched reasonably well, allowing two runs and four hits in five innings.

But with the Yankees ahead 4-2 going into the top of the sixth, heavy rain caused a 59-minute delay and ended Tanaka’s night

varsity and JV,” Schlapia said. “They went out and raced.”

The race completed its purpose for the Panthers.

“We went out and ran the race we wanted to race. We accomplished what we wanted,” Schlapia said. “That’s what we got out of it.”

Of the 12 who ran at Dallas Center-Grimes a season ago, nine improved their times: five girls and four boys.

Conditions were near perfect for running, with the sun peaking out late in the day.

“It was a great night to run with all the rain we’ve been having,” Schlapia said. “The rain didn’t play a factor.

When it came time to race, the sun came out.”

Host Dallas Center-Grimes won the girls race with 28 points. The Mustang boys won their division with 28 points. Winterset was second in the girls race with 60 points. Carlisle was second in the boys race with 54 points.

The Panthers rose to the test.

After the delay, Royals manager Ned Yost brought on former Yankee ChienMing Wang, who escaped an immediate jam. Tyler Austin led off with a walk and Gardner, who reached base five times, doubled. Ellsbury struck out and Gary Sanchez sent a chopper to first for a forceout that could not get Austin in. Didi Gregorius flied to center for the third out.

Dyson opened the bottom of the sixth against Adam Warren with an infield single and Cain battled for

seven pitches, finally lining a full-count pitch opposite field down the line in right for an RBI double that made it 4-3. In came lefty Tommy Layne to face Hosmer, whose groundout to first moved Cain to third.

Layne hit the switch-hitting Morales with an 0-and-2 pitch and Girardi brought on righty Tyler Clippard, who allowed a rocket off the bat of Salvador Perez, a rocket hit right to Headley, who started a 5-4-3 double play, keeping the Yankees’ lead at 4-3.

cohesive in jumping out to a 9-5 lead to start the third set after a less-than-great first two sets. MaKenna Hudson and Jaxie Luther began consistently feeding Breanna Wallace and Megan Haley for kills.

Creston yielded its lead and allowed A-D-M to tie things at 12. A misplayed kill attempt allowed Creston to control the serve once more, and the Panthers took advantage of the stopped Tiger momentum by winning 11 of the next 14 points to take a 23-14 lead. The Panthers put the set away with back-to-back kills from Wallace and Haley.

Feeling a surge of confidence, the Panthers shot out to a 5-0 fourth set lead.

The set was the arguably the strongest the Panthers looked, as A-D-M struggled to keep up throughout.

Creston led by scores of 102, 16-9, and 21-14 before ultimately sending the match to a fifth set with a 25-18 set four win.

The Panthers picked up digs at especially opportune times as the action got tight later on.

Haley revved up her motor and played stronger at the net in the final three sets, which was crucial toward the end in getting Creston back into contention.

“The kid has great spirit, especially when she gets rolling,” Luther said. “Boy, it’s important, it is very important to our team that those kids catch that spark and get fired up.”

point back on the Creston serve to make it 14-11. After a contested call gave Creston one last chance to pull the match out — the game moved to 14-13 — Tigers junior Sami Schepers found space between the Panthers and tapped the ball to the floor to secure the fifth set win by a score of 15-13.

As disjointed as the Panthers looked at times ear-

ly on, the impressive play came about of the girls own whim. At least, so suggested Luther.

“Sometimes you just kind of have to sit back and it really doesn’t matter what you say or how you say it, it’s when they decide to go,” Luther said.

Statistics from the match were not available by press time.

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN (AP) — The Vikings’ Super Bowl hopes took a significant hit Tuesday afternoon when starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suffered a major knee injury and faces “significant” recovery time.

Bridgewater suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will have surgery within the next few days.

The team’s head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman issued this statement: “Teddy Bridgewater suffered a noncontact injury today at practice. The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage. Fortunately, there appears to be no nerve or arterial damage. Surgical repair will be scheduled within the next few days.

Although the recovery time will be significant, we expect Teddy to make a full recovery. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and our athletic training staff for all of their help today. Teddy has already displayed the attitude needed to overcome this injury and attack his rehab.”

About 25 minutes into practice, in the first team

drill of the day, Bridgewater dropped back to pass and crumpled to Bridgewater the turf without being touched. As Bridgewater clutched his left knee, linebacker Eric Kendricks and other teammates spiked helmets and shouted expletives.

Some Vikings dropped to one knee in prayer or disbelief as athletic trainers rushed to the third-year quarterback.

Two minutes later, coach Mike Zimmer ended practice and sent his players inside.

Running backs Adrian Peterson and Matt Asiata, guard Alex Boone, defensive end Brian Robison, cornerback Terence Newman and backup quarterback Shaun Hill lingered on the field, surrounding Bridgewater as the athletic trainers appeared to place an air cast on the quarterback’s left leg.

Soon, an ambulance pulled up to Winter Park with sirens blaring and whisked Bridgewater away.

Coach Mike Zimmer met with reporters two hours after Bridgewater went down and confirmed that the quarterback had suffered a “significant knee injury,” adding that he was sedated and getting an MRI at a hospital.
