Creston Schools have eyes on literacy

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Creston School District will focus on early literacy during the 2014-15 school year, like all schools across the state of Iowa.

Iowa Legislature passed a provision in 2012 as part of the statewide education reform that requires prekindergarten through ■ New early third-grade stuliteracy dents to be able to legislation read at grade level by the time they go to be fully into fourth grade. implemented The early litin August eracy legislation, which will be implemented in all Iowa school districts no later than Aug. 1, monitors students’ reading efficiency.

Callie Anderson, Creston prekindergarten through second-grade principal, gave an informational report about the legislation to Creston School Board during its regularly scheduled meeting Monday.

“There are a lot of unanswered questions about the early literacy legislation that is being discussed right now,” Anderson said.

Several requirements of the early literacy legislation are: • A universal reading screening for kindergarten through third-grade students; • Monitoring of progress for students with a

Greater Regional to exit business of hospice care Good news: HCI will lease GRMC Hospice Home beginning March 1 and continue providing quality hospice care. Bad news: At least nine employees to lose their job during transition ■

reater Regional Medical Center (GRMC) announced Monday they are exiting the business of hospice services effective Feb. 28.

Why? GRMC officials said Monday offering hospice care services has hurt the hospital financially — especially the past couple of years.

LouAnn Snodgrass — GRMC executive director, continuum of care — said Monday the struggles financially are a result of growth in competition for hospice

patients in southwest Iowa, declining reimbursements and increased regulation.

“For all those reasons, costs were escalating in the hundreds of thousands in loss each year,” Snodgrass said about hospice care services, “and no matter how many efficiencies we put in place we weren’t able to break even.”

Those financial struggles forced GRMC to begin searching for a partner with the ability to provide quality hospice services at the Greater Regional Medical Center Hospice Home and throughout southwest Iowa well into the future.

Monday they announced their partner as HCI Care Services of Iowa.

Contributed map

HCI Care Services serves 35 counties in Iowa and averages more than 1,500 patients each year. On the map, above, all counties in white are served by HCI. The dots on the map represent where HCI has satellite offices.

GRMC will continue to own Greater Regional Hospice Home. They will lease the hospice home to HCI beginning March 1 to provide hospice services for the patients in southwest Iowa.

“We looked at several partners,” Snodgrass said, “but we selected HCI because they really embraced the idea of maintaining the hospice home in Creston.

Purple Out

DES MOINES (MCT) – Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds is Gov. Terry Branstad’s choice for 2014 running mate, but he left nothing to chance by actively urging his supporters to attend Tuesday’s caucuses and become delegates who will vote to fill the No. 2 slot on the GOP ticket at this summer’s Republican state convention.

“She has been a great partner,” Branstad told his Reynolds weekly news conference, brushing aside speculation as “not true” that she might face a challenge when she is up for re-nomination later this year. Reynolds earned her spot on the 2010

Calculated guess:

Isaac Shields tells Erin Hanson his guess for the number of purple Skittles in the jar.

Creston High School custodian Chris Schmitz was closest to the correct number (343) and won both the jar of candy and a 12-pack of Grape Crush soda pop. Approximately $1,600 was raised at the “Purple Out” wrestling meet for March of Dimes research and programs geared toward infant health. CHS student government and Future Business Leaders of America co-sponsored the event.

Deaths Jodene Brown Clearfield

Jodene Brown, 87, of Clearfield died Jan. 19, 2014, at Greater Regional Hospice Home in Creston.

Memori- Brown al services will be 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, at the United Methodist Church in Clearfield.

The Rev. Shurmaine McAlpine will officiate. Visitation will be 2 to 7:30 p.m. today with family present 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the church. Watson-Armstrong Funeral Home, Clearfield, is in charge of the arrangements. Memorials will be determined at a later date.

Online condolences may be left at watsonarmstrongfh. com.

Jodene Laverne Schuster, daughter of Honey and Ralph Schuster, was born July 29, 1926, in Athelstan.

Jodene attended school in Blockton and Maloy. She graduated from Maloy in 1942.

On May 10, 1946, Jodene married Elton Bruce Brown.

They moved to Clearfield.

In 1960, they purchased their present day farm two miles north of Clearfield.

Jodene is survived by her daughter Marilyn (husband Steve) Maltzahn of Creston, their daughter Traci (husband Mike) Tamerius and children Jessica of Greenfield and Alex of Creston; daughter Carolyn Nelson (friend Steve) of Clearfield, Carolyn’s daughter Dana (husband Eric) Snyder and their children Megan and Kyle of Grimes; Carolyn’s son Danny (wife Shannon) Nelson and their children Ethan and Xander of Ankeny; son Jerry (wife Sheila) Brown of Clearfield and their son Brooks Brown (friend Tori) of Clearfield and their daughter Amber (husband Ben) Rikkels and their children Quentin and Kenzi of Ankeny; brotherin-law Laverne Brown; sisters-in-law, Annabell Brown and Bernice Brown; cousin Bobbie Rood of Vancouver, Wash.; and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.

Jodene was preceded in death by her husband Elton in 1999; parents; Elton’s parents, Allie and Hazel Brown; brothers-in-law, Kenneth, Rex, Joe and Dolan; and sisters-in-law, Maona, Mildred and Virginia.

ticket and he expects her to do so again this year.

“It’s up to the people of Iowa to decide who they want to represent them,” Branstad said.

Reynolds, 54, a former county treasurer auditor and state senator, was Branstad’s pick as his lieutenant four years ago, but she still had to overcome a challenge by Bob Vander Plaats – an unsuccessful primary candidate for governor – at the party’s state convention to secure her No. 2 place on the GOP statewide ballot.

Reynolds said she has received positive feedback from Iowans about the job the cur-

rent administration is doing as she travels the state to visit all 99 counties each year.

During a campaign event at Diamond V in Cedar Rapids last week, Branstad doused speculation that he might step down midway through a sixth term if he wins re-election next November to clear the way for Reynolds to serve as governor and be in a strong position to seek re-election in 2018.

Branstad said “it’s my intention” to serve the full four years if Iowans give him an unprecedented sixth term.

deficiency in reading; • 90 minutes of daily scientific, research-based reading for students with a reading deficiency; • Notice to parents of a student’s reading deficiency, and progress of the student’s reading; • And, summer reading program for students with a reading deficiency.

“When it comes down to it, what it is saying is that they’re requiring a universal screener for kindergarten through third-grade students,” Anderson said.

“Now, we have a universal screener that we administer to our kindergarten through third-grade students currently. Now, there has to be a state-approved universal screener.”

A screener is a program or instrument that marks a student’s reading level.

The legislation also requires a set amount of time for students to read with research-based instruction.

Snodgrass said all current patients at Greater Regional Hospice will be assisted in transitioning their services to a provider of their choice during the month of February.

Job loss This transition of service to HCI does not come without job loss, though. Snodgrass said at least nine GRMC employees will lose their jobs and four others will be “bumped back” to jobs they had previously in the organization.

“That’s the most difficult part of this,” Snodgrass said, “but we believe the skills and

talents they have will serve them well when they go out and look for other job opportunities.”

Wade said there will be some opportunities available for those losing their job within HCI, but retaining all of them is unlikely.

What about volunteers?

Those volunteering inside the GRMC Hospice Home are asked to consider still volunteering at the hospice home when HCI takes over in March.

GRMC officials remind volunteers they still own the

“At Creston, we are able to put a big checkmark on that item. That is in place,” said Anderson. “That is what all of the hours of PD (professional development) provide for our teachers, is research-based instruction. And, we have 90 protected minutes in JK (junior kindergarten) through fifth grade.”

The state of Iowa will spend $8 million on the early literacy legislation.

Of that amount, half will be split equally to all school districts, while the other half will be passed out to school districts based on number of students.

“We won’t get as much as the bigger schools,” said Anderson, “but, we will get some dollars to recover the cost.”

However, Creston School District will still have to pay for some of the programs to be implemented.

“There may be some funding that needs to be

compensated for what the allocations will cover for the screener we end up going with in Creston,” Anderson said.

Costs may also increase for the summer reading program based on the number of students who attend.

More questions will be answered Friday, when information will be available to administrators.

In other Creston School Board news: • The former Creston administration building sold at auction for $24,500 to a local person. A special meeting is likely to be held to finalize the sale.

• Touch-ups and caulking remain to be done on the Creston Elementary and Middle School safe room. The basketball floor will be bid on in the future.

Windows, final painting and touch-ups remain to be done on the Creston High School safe room. The CHS safe room is expect-

ed to be fully utilized by spring 2014 mid-semester.

• Creston School Board accepted the resignation of bus driver Roger Benedict.

The board members also accepted contracts of paraprofessionals Matthew Rinehart, Amy Wilkins, Teresa Werneburg and Amanda Quinn and cooks Angela Gist and Jodi Mobley.

• School Budget Review Committee allowable growth was passed by all board members. The request included additional money in the amounts of $112,014 for increased enrollment, $1,800 for open enrollment out and $2,693 for limited English proficiency.

• Disbursement of teacher salary supplement money was approved. The money will go to teachers who were formerly under contract and left in good standing. Board member Ron Dunphy was the only member to vote no.

both Mount Ayr and Osceola. HCI serves 35 counties in Iowa and averages more than 1,500 patients each year.

“This is a partnership,” said Tray Wade, senior vice president at HCI Care Services.

“The hospice house (in Creston) will never be a big money Wade maker, but what we have is two parties that came together to continue to ensure this region will have quality hospice care for the long term.”

building and grounds, therefore, volunteers currently assisting with maintenance of the grounds and garden may continue to volunteer with GRMC. Money raised?

All contributions to the foundation designated for Greater Regional Hospice and the hospice home will continue to be designated for those purposes. As the hospice home needs replacement equipment and or enhancements, those contributions will be utilized to fund those needs.

Background Greater Regional Hospice Home is located northeast of the GRMC Medical Center.

The home was built in 2008. It features private suites for patients and families, a complete family kitchen, meditation room, children’s play areas and whirlpool therapy spa for patient care.

Services offered are skilled nursing care, hospice aids, medical social workers and more.

What about fundraising events and pavers?

At this point, GRMC’s foundation anticipates continuing the Tree of Life, Ride for Hospice and other fundraising events with proceeds

supporting the hospice home as done in the past.

GRMC will continue to make the engraved pavers.

Again, with all proceeds supporting the hospice home as done in the past.

OPINION

Leading by example: friends and family to the rescue As I turned onto EP True Parkway in West Des Moines, my nostrils were slammed with the smell of burning rubber.

Hoping the odor was coming from somewhere other than my car, I continued driving. I scanned the road in front of me trying to locate the source of the foul smell.

Suddenly, the dashboard of my car flashed with red, orange and yellow warning messages and my steering wheel became paralyzed.

I coasted into a gas station parking lot.

After popping the hood, I was greeted with a jumbled mess of

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham staff writer

rubber that should have been my serpentine belt. With my car not running, I was going to need some help shuttling around West Des Moines to get the necessary parts.

My friend Pam Schroeder offered to help and Nick and Max Newbury — and Nick’s girlfriend Steph — put their celebration of

the Bronco’s victory on hold to provide assistance.

The five of us combined had no automotive knowledge or experience, but with the help of YouTube videos, our team effort was rewarded and we reinstalled the belt. The car started and didn’t explode.

At least not right away.

Just before we lowered the hood, there was a loud pop and my new serpentine belt became a tangled mess. The tension pulley was locked in place, causing the new belt to break.

Cold, discouraged and with no way to get a new pulley and belt,

we were forced to give up for the night.

The next morning, my father, Kevin, came to the rescue with parts. He never complained about having to make the drive. He worked quickly with the confidence of years of experience.

Within minutes, he had the old pulley fixed, the belt replaced and I was on my way back to Creston.

Having car trouble was not the way I wanted end my weekend, but the willingness of my friends and family to come help me out in a time of need was very moving.

I can’t express to my friends how much it meant that they were willing to sacrifice their time, stand in the cold and help make the best of a stressful situation.

And I hope that someday I can be half as helpful to my friends and family as my father has been for me. My entire life he as been a leader by example, working hard and expecting little in return.

I know I don’t say it enough, so thank you again Dad for always being there for me and showing me by example how to be a great father someday.

The NFL playoffs enjoyed huge ratings for both teams HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks won their title games Sunday and advanced to the Super Bowl. It’s a new era. Today if you want your team to make it to the Super Bowl, offense and defense is not enough, you have to get your state legislature to legalize marijuana.

The NFL playoffs enjoyed huge ratings for both the Denver-New England game and for San Francisco-Seattle. What a day for the league. National Geographic countered with an episode marathon of Lockdown, better known in the NFL as the Ghost of Christmas Future.

President Obama blamed his low approval ratings on Americans who don’t like having a black president. There is a silver lining.

Mr. Obama’s approval ratings have fallen so far and so fast in the last three months, he’s the early favorite to win the Men’s Downhill at Sochi.

President Obama told the New Yorker he doesn’t think smoking pot is as dangerous as alcohol.

What’s happened to America?

A dozen people were arrested at the Denver Broncos stadium Sunday for pretending to smoke a joint when they were actually sneaking a cigarette.

Barbara Bush gave a colorful and lengthy interview on C-SPAN on Monday in which she admitted that she absolutely loves Bill Clinton. Try to imagine his shock.

He thought the one lesson he’d learned from the Lewinsky scandals was that older women won’t tell on you.

Governor Chris Christie is accused of withholding hurricane relief money as a political payback.

He’s gone crazy with power. In addition to the bridge scandal and the hurricane relief scandal, the word is that several months ago, Governor Christie had his uncle executed.

Los Angeles officials confirmed the porn industry has fled to Las Vegas. On top of porn stars, Sin City boasts gambling, prostitution, twenty-four hour bars, plus all-night strip clubs. It all just strengthens Las Vegas’s bid to become the permanent site for the Super Bowl.

John Kerry rejected any changes to the NAFTA free trade compact between the United States and Mexico Sunday. Since their founding, two countries have freely exchanged labor and resources .

Davy Crockett died at the Alamo wondering who ordered the concrete.

Iraqi officials warned Monday that al-Qaeda has the firepower to capture Baghdad after they seized Fallujah and Ramadi. The CIA would have to install a brutal dictator to smash the rebels and keep order. We also have to promise not to overthrow and hang him this time.

The Winter Olympic Games in Sochi were threatened with attack by al-Qaeda Monday in a video posted online that also called for volunteers. In the video al-Qaeda stipulated that recruits must have a high school education in order to join. That should keep the losers out.

2013

Fukushima, an ongoing warning to the world TOKYO — “I write these facts as dispassionately as I can in the hope that they will act as a warning to the world,” wrote the journalist Wilfred Burchett from Hiroshima.

His story, headlined, “The Atomic Plague” appeared in the London Daily Express on Sept. 5, 1945.

Burchett violated the U.S. military blockade of Hiroshima, and was the first Western journalist to visit that devastated city. He wrote: “Hiroshima does not look like a bombed city. It looks as if a monster steamroller had passed over it and squashed it out of existence.”

Jump ahead 66 years, to March 11, 2011, and 600 miles north, to Fukushima and the Great East Japan Earthquake, which caused the tsunami. As we now know, the initial onslaught that left 19,000 people dead or missing was just the beginning. What began as a natural disaster quickly cascaded into a man-made one, as system after system failed at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Three of the six reactors suffered meltdowns, releasing deadly radiation into the atmosphere and the ocean.

Three years later, Japan is still reeling from the impact of the disaster. More than 340,000 people became nuclear refugees, forced to abandon their homes and their livelihoods. Filmmaker Atsushi Funahashi directed the documentary “Nuclear Nation: The Fukushima Refugees Story.” In it, he follows refugees from the town of Futaba, where the Fukushima Daiichi plant is based, in the first year after the disaster. The government relocated them to an abandoned school near Tokyo, where they live in cramped, shared common areas, many families to a room, and are provided three box lunches per day. I asked Funahashi what prospects these 1,400 people had.

“There’s none, pretty much. The only thing the government is saying is that [for] at least six years from the accident, you cannot go back to

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

your own town,” he told me.

The refugees were given permits to return home to collect personal items, but only for two hours. Like Wilfred Burchett, Funahashi had to violate the government’s ban on travel to a nuclear-devastated area in order to catch the poignant moments of one family’s return on film. He explained how the family gave him one of their four permits to take the trip: “I tried to negotiate with the government, and they didn’t give me any permission to go inside there. And no other independent journalist or documentary filmmakers got permission to go inside. But I got along very well with this family from Futaba,” he explained, and sneaked back on their short trip.

The government’s refusal to grant Funahashi access is indicative of another significant problem that has emerged since the earthquake: secrecy. Japan’s conservative prime minister, Shinzo Abe, enacted a controversial state secrecy law early last December.

Here in Tokyo, Sophia University Professor Koichi Nakano says of the new law, “Of course, it concerns primarily security issues and anti-terrorist measures. But ... it became increasingly clear that the interpretation of what actually constitutes state secret could be very arbitrary and rather freely defined by government leaders.

For example, anti-nuclear citizen movements can come under surveillance without their knowledge, and arrests can be made.”

Since the nuclear disaster, a forceful grass-roots movement has grown to permanently decommission all of Japan’s nuclear power plants. The prime minis-

ter at the time of the earthquake, Naoto Kan, explained how his position on nuclear power shifted: “My position before March 11th, 2011, was that as long as we make sure that it’s safely operated, nuclear power plants can be operated and should be operated.

However, after experiencing the disaster of March 11th, I changed my thinking 180 degrees, completely ... there is no other accident or disaster that would affect 50 million people — maybe a war, but there is no other accident can cause such a tragedy,” he said.

Prime Minister Abe, leading the most conservative Japanese administration since World War II, wants to restart his country’s nuclear power plants, despite overwhelming public opposition. Public protests outside Abe’s official residence in Tokyo continue.

“It gives you an empty feeling in the stomach to see such manmade devastation,” Wilfred Burchett wrote, sitting in the rubble of Hiroshima in 1945. The two U.S. atomic-bomb attacks on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have deeply impacted Japan to this day. Likewise, the triple-edged disaster of the earthquake, tsunami and ongoing nuclear disaster will last for generations.

The dangerous trajectory from nuclear weapons to nuclear power is now being challenged by a popular demand for peace and sustainability. It is a lesson for rest of the world as well. *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column.

BUSINESS/FARM SBA economic injury disaster loans available to Iowa small businesses SACRAMENTO, Calif.

– Small, nonfarm businesses in 70 Iowa counties and neighboring counties in Illinois and Missouri are now eligible to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

“These loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by the drought that occurred from August 27 to October 28, 2013, in the following primary counties,” said Tanya N. Garfield, acting director of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West.

Primary Iowa counties: Adair, Audubon, Boone, Buena Vista, Calhoun, Carroll, Clarke, Crawford, Dallas, Des Moines, Greene, Guthrie, Hamilton, Hardin, Henry, Ida, Iowa, Jasper, Jefferson, Johnson, Keokuk, Lee, Louisa, Lucas, Madison, Mahaska, Marion, Marshall, Monroe, Muscatine, Pocahontas, Polk, Poweshiek, Sac, Shelby, Story, Tama, Union, Wapello, Warren, Washington and Webster; Neighboring Iowa counties: Adams, Appanoose, Benton, Black Hawk, Butler, Cass, Cedar, Cherokee, Clay, Davis, Decatur, Franklin, Grundy, Harrison, Humboldt, Kossuth, Linn, Monona, O’Brien, Palo Alto, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Scott, Taylor, Van Buren, Wayne, Woodbury and Wright; Neighboring Illinois counties: Hancock, Henderson, Mercer and Rock Island; Neighboring Missouri county: Clark.

“SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster,” Garfield said.

Small, nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private, nonprofit organizations of any size may

qualify for economic injury disaster loans (EIDLs) of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.

“Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 4 percent for businesses and 2.875 percent for private, nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private, nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship,” Garfield said.

By law, SBA makes EIDLs available when the U.S. secretary of agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. Secretary Tom Vilsack declared this disaster Dec. 11.

Businesses primarily engaged in farming or ranching are not eligible for SBA disaster assistance. Agricultural enterprises should contact the Farm Services Agency (FSA) about the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) assistance made available by the secretary’s declaration. However, in drought disasters nurseries are eligible for SBA disaster assistance.

Applicants may apply online using the electronic loan application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ ela.

Disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA’s Customer Service Center by calling (800) 659-2955 or emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (800) 877-8339. For more information about SBA’s disaster assistance programs, visit http://www.sba.gov/ disaster.

The deadline to apply for these loans is Aug. 11, 2014.

Cover crop workshops to be featured at 2014 Iowa Power Farming Show WEST DES MOINES — Farmers interested in learning the latest conservation methods, 45 one-hour sessions about cover crops, sponsored by Iowa Farm Bureau, will be offered during the 2014 Iowa Power Farming Show Jan. 28-30 at Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. The cover crop workshops are included with the $6 admission ticket.

The workshops and educational sessions will address the latest practices that improve soil health, maintain organic matter and

increase productivity.

“Iowa farmers have shown great innovation developing conservation plans on their farms,” said Rick Robinson, IFBF environmental policy adviser. “Protecting the land has always been a top priority for Iowa farmers, so we are proud to help bring these cover crop workshops to the Iowa Power Farming Show.”

Each day, the workshops will feature five overview sessions in the morning and afternoon on cover crop basics, seeding, termination,

integrating with livestock and four daily in-depth sessions on aerial and highclearance seeding.

“Workshop attendees will learn the benefits of cover crops, find direction on choosing the right cover crop seeds, receive information on application and termination of cover crops, and learn more about how cover crops fit with a livestock operation,” said Bill Northey, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture.

On all three days, grain marketing analyst Elaine Kub will speak from noon to 1 p.m. in Rooms 104-106.

The same, but different Dear Heloise: My mother and I would like to know if SALTED AND UNSALTED BUTTER have different cooking properties? Also, why would a recipe call for unsalted butter, but then require salt? — Michelle and Janet C. in Washington Very good question, and it is a little contradictory!

Salted and unsalted butter don’t have any different cooking properties. They are the same, except that one has 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt per stick.

Each company may produce a little “different” butter. So, when added to a recipe, there is no way to tell how much salt is really in that butter. By starting a recipe with unsalted butter, you know that the recipe is starting with and ending with the proper amount of salt. — Heloise LEFTOVER BACON Dear Heloise: My family enjoys bacon for breakfast, but because of our busy schedules, we only have it on weekends. This leaves leftover bacon that I use the rest of the week as a topping for baked potatoes, added

Hints from Heloise to salad or as a garnish for beans or asparagus. — Janice R. in New Mexico Here’s another use for the bacon: as a topping for potato soup or other creamstyle soups. It’s tasty on spinach, too. The great thing about soup is that there are so many different ways to add flavors, use up leftovers and save money. My pamphlet Heloise’s Spectacular Soups has family and friend recipes, plus hints to help you save time when making soup. To order one, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soups, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Horoscope Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with others, because their feedback could help you.

Try it and see what happens.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) For the next few weeks, you look good to authority figures, because the Sun is at the top of your chart, casting a flattering light on you. Milk this for all it’s worth!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because you have a strong desire to travel and seek adventure, do something different. Go someplace you’ve never been before.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You can clean up a lot of loose details regarding shared property, insurance matters, inheritances, taxes and debt in the next few weeks. Just roll up your sleeves and dig in.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Remember to get more rest now and for the next few weeks, because the Sun is as far away from you as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because your top priority in the next few weeks is to be better organized, give yourself the right tools to do a bang-up job.

Get shelving, file folders, paint, cleaning supplies — whatever.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Now and for the next few weeks, your top priority is to be yourself. You want to play and express your creative talents without anyone holding you back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s appropriate for you to focus on home, family and your domestic needs in the next few weeks. Discussions with a parent could be significant.

Busy you!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The next few weeks are the perfect time to think about cash flow, earnings, your possessions and what it is you truly value. Or to go one step further — what are your values?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s fine to put your own needs first now,

because this is the only time all year when the Sun is in your sign. It’s your turn to be top dog.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Work alone or behind the scenes as you begin to strategize about what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. It’s a good time to plan ahead.

YOU BORN TODAY Because you are persistent and careful, many of you develop excellent technical skills. Personally, there’s a quality about you

that is individual, distinctive and certainly memorable. For you, integrity, ethics and moral strength are vital. You’re happy to be a rugged individualist.

Work hard to build or construct something in the coming year, because your rewards soon will follow.

A-Rod out?

NEW YORK — Several angry major league players wanted Alex Rodriguez kicked out of their union after he sued it last week, but staff lawyers told them expulsion was not allowed.

The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrator’s decision suspending him for the 2014 season and postseason.

Details were first reported Tuesday by Yahoo Sports and later confirmed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the call. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.

The union and Rodriguez spokesman Ron Berkowitz declined comment.

All players in the major leagues are members of the union and pay $65 daily in dues, or $11,895 if a player is in the big leagues for a full season. Baseball’s labor contract specifies the union is “the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for all major league players.”

The union will incur costs of defending the lawsuit by the New York Yankees third baseman, who claimed in the suit it “breached its duty of fair representation to Mr. Rodriguez.”

Sparty survives EAST LANSING, Mich. — Gary Harris gave No. 3 Michigan State a desperately needed offensive boost.

Harris scored 20 of his 24 points in the second half, helping the Spartans beat Indiana 71-66 on Tuesday night to remain unbeaten in the Big Ten. Michigan State (18-1, 7-0) has won 11 straight games, extending their best one-loss start in a season in school history despite playing poorly at times with an injury-depleted roster.

The Hoosiers (12-7, 2-4) have lost two straight and four of six. After beating then-No. 3 Wisconsin at home last week, they lost at home to Northwestern.

Pro Bowl HONOLULU — NFL great Jerry Rice is already bucking conventional fantasy football wisdom in a new Pro Bowl format inspired by the popular hobby.

Rice picked New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees and St. Louis defensive end Robert Quinn to anchor his Pro Bowl team on Tuesday, opting for a passer over a runner.

Rice made the selections in Hawaii after winning a coin toss against Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders. Rice called tails.

The decision prompted Sanders to select Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles and Houston defensive end J.J. Watt for Sunday’s game.

The toss and selections started a new process for the NFL in selecting this year’s Pro Bowl teams. Rice and Sanders are serving as captains and general managers in charge of divvying up the NFL stars.

Two dominant wins on senior night aided by 14 pins, good news from the Iowa High School Athletic Association and a successful fundraising night for the March of Dimes.

All in all, it was a pretty good day for the Creston/OM wrestling team Tuesday.

Ranked sixth in the Class 2A dual team ratings by the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association, the Panthers improved to 13-0 overall and 9-0 in the Hawkeye 10 with wins of 72-0 over Shenandoah and 62-16 over Red Oak. Red Oak won the opener over Shenandoah, 57-18, to improve to 10-11 overall and 3-5 in the league. The Mustangs fall to 11-15 and 3-7 with the two losses.

The only conference dual left for Creston/O-M is a 6:30 p.m. dual at home Jan. 30 against new league member Council Bluffs St. Albert.

Regional host On Tuesday, school officials received word that Creston will be the site of a regional dual meet follow-

ing Class 2A sectional tournaments.

“I think their hope is that eight rated teams will host the eight regional duals,” Panther coach Darrell Frain said.

A purple hue was evident throughout Creston High School Tuesday as an event co-sponsored by CHS student government and the school’s Future Business Leaders of America

(FBLA) chapter was held in support of “health and mortality of infants and mothers through the March of Dimes.”

All proceeds from various fundraising events will go to March of Dimes Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of mortality and health of infants and mothers.

Shannon Smith, FBLA advisor, and Peg Eblen, English instructor assisting student government, reported about $1,600 was raised through the sale of purple T-shirts, “per pin” pledges associated with 29 Creston/O-M varsity and JV pins Tuesday and activities in the commons by student groups.

Senior wrestlers introduced with their parents prior to the meet were Kruz Adamson, Adam Baker, Trevor Frain, Gavin Leith, Trevor Luther and Garret Taylor. Other seniors honored were managers Alex Chapman and Nathan Haley, along with cheerleader Tonya Etzen.

To come out wrestling well in that environment, with only three defeats in contested matches for the night, was satisfying to coach Frain.

Special cause

Clarinda pulls away from Panther girls late

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

CLARINDA — The Creston girls basketball team held a halftime lead, but struggled to adjust to Clarinda’s physical style of play in the second half of a 53-46 loss here Tuesday.

The Panthers led 24-19 at the half after falling behind by six early and battling back to take the lead by the end of the first quarter.

But, Creston shot just 2-of-11 from the free throw line for the game and gave up too many offensive rebounds in the second half, as Clarinda pulled away in the final 4:00 of the game.

“We led at half and were playing pretty well,” head coach Larry McNutt said.

“We went 2-of-11 at the line for the game and gave up a lot of offensive rebounds

in the second half, which proved to be the difference.

“We actually dominated the offensive boards first half and got some putbacks, but then they did it to us in the second half.”

Natalie Mostek led the Panthers with 13 points and 11 rebounds for a double-double. Jenna T a y l o r Mostek also recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Sophomore Camryn Somers added 12 points for the Panthers.

It was still a close game early in the fourth quarter, with the two teams trading one-point leads.

“We just couldn’t get any stops,” McNutt said.

“About under the 4:00 mark, they got up five on us.

We couldn’t put the ball in the basket. Then they’d foul us and we couldn’t make any free throws. Pretty hard to come back when you can’t put the ball in the hole.”

McNutt said the officials let the game get physical, as only four total fouls were called in the first half.

“We didn’t adjust to the physical play,” he said.

“They didn’t call a lot of fouls and we just have to play through it. We didn’t do the greatest job of that.”

The Panthers fall to 5-9 overall and 2-5 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, while Clarinda improved to 6-8 and 2-6. Creston travels to Council Bluffs St. Albert on Friday for a varsity doubleheader, with the girls game set to begin at 6 p.m.

JUNIOR VARSITY The Creston girls JV team battled back and forth with Clarinda on Tuesday, escaping with a 40-37 overtime win.

“We were able to work harder and put up more points than them and come out with the victory,” Creston JV coach Mendy Mc-

Creight said. “Caitlin McIlravy hit a 3-pointer at the end of the fourth quarter to put us in overtime. She hustled and shot the ball very well for us tonight.”

McIlravy finished with a team-high 18 points for the Panthers and three assists.

Cammy Rutherford added seven points with three rebounds. Maria Mostek scored five points, while Becca Ross chipped in four points with five rebounds.

Madison Callahan also scored four points.

Creston improved to 8-8 for the season with the win.

“Panorama was the best team Nodaway Valley has faced,” head coach Tom Thompson said. “Defensively, I felt like we played the best we have all season, but unfortunately 20 percent shooting and 24 turnovers were too much to overcome.”

The Wolverines hosted their girls basketball soup supper and auction prior to the game Saturday, raising $3,083 for summer camps and programs.

Coach Thompson thanked Brenda Meisenheimer for organizing the event and Brandon and Kay Sickles for the trucking donation, along with all the parents

“Nodaway Valley had a solid defensive effort for three quarters, shot the ball well and took care of it to earn the win,” head coach Tom Thompson said. “Girls are gaining confidence in taking the open shot and passed the ball well.”

and most of them turned into falls at the end, so it worked out really well,” Frain said.

“Even in the matches where we were clear underdogs against Red Oak at 132 and 113, we battled and gave ourselves a chance.”

Quick fall Trevor Frain celebrated his senior night with one of the fastest falls in program history.

He decked Red Oak sophomore Frain Collin Bruce in eight seconds.

ton and Adamson after missing Saturday’s tournament in Centerville with illness. Adamson won by a 10-5 decision in his only contested match of the night, and Huntington gained a third-period fall in his only match at 145.

Frain said his lineup should be at full strength and mostly at sectional weights, plus the possible return of Gavin Leith at 152 pounds, for the John Harris Invitational in Corning Friday and Saturday. Leith has been out with a shoulder injury since late December.

The only change from sectionals might be continuing to enter Trevor Frain at 182 and Adam Baker at 170 pounds.

Those two will interchange in the postseason. Frain is ranked second in the state at 170.

New Hampton, a northern Iowa team coached by former Panther assistant Nick Hemann, is making the trip to

under 10 seconds in the same meet in the early 1970s, including one just under eight seconds.

“I think those two were like six and eight seconds,” Walters said.

After the match, Frain said the team had an internal contest on who could record the fast fall of the night. He won easily, even though firstperiod falls were common throughout the night.

The next fastest pins were 32 and 31 seconds against Red Oak by Seth Maitlen and Kadon Hulett, respectively, right after Frain’s eight-second victory at 182 pounds.

One of the matches drawing the biggest crowd reactions Tuesday was by freshman heavyweight Cody Tanner against Red Oak senior Keaton Kephart.

Kephart opened the match with a five-point move, nearly securing the fall in the first

period. Tanner managed to wriggle off his back and end the first period trailing 5-1.

He then shot in for a takedown to close it to 5-3 before Kephart escaped to make it 6-3. They bumped heads as both shot forward for takedown position. Kephart was left dazed and lost by injury default, marking a big swing in team points from the near defeat minutes earlier.

“I guess his head is a little harder. As a Tanner head, it doesn’t surprise me,” Frain said, smiling. “How often can you get off your back in a heavyweight match? Then, he gets a single-leg and finishes it! He and Zach Hoffman are one-point matches in the room, and we’ll have Jake Gutschenritter back next year. That’s three good ones there.”

Another positive note was the successful return of varsity wrestlers Joey Hunting-

inda.

“We started off a bit rusty, but hung in there and played good defense as we were having troubles getting the ball to go in the basket the first quarter,” Creston freshman coach Mendy McCreight said. “We played really good defense in the third quarter as we held them to zero points.”

Cammy Rutherford scored 18 points with 14 rebounds

and eight steals to lead the way, while Madison Callahan scored 14 points with six Continued from page 8A boards.

FAMILY FEATURES

‘‘H

ectic family schedules don’t have to get in the way of serving up tasty and healthy weeknight dinners,” explains leading nutrition expert, cookbook author and television star Ellie Krieger, author of “Weeknight Wonders: Delicious, Healthy Dinners in 30 Minutes or Less.”

Krieger notes that pairing the unique sweetness of healthy, fresh pears with savory proteins like pork or chicken makes for a satisfying supper that can be made in a snap. “Pears are a perfect pick for weeknight dinners,” says Krieger. “Their distinctive flavor goes well in savory main dishes that are simple to make and will be enjoyed by the whole family.”

Krieger’s recipe for Pork Chops with Pears in Port Wine Sauce from her new “Weeknight Wonders” cookbook will help add variety to the weeknight dinner routine, as will these other suppertime recipes that feature juicy USA Pears.

For more great recipe ideas, visit www.usapears.org.

Pork Chops with Pears in Port Wine Sauce Makes 4 Servings 3 large firm-ripe USA Pears, such as Bartlett or Anjou Cooking spray 4 1/2-pound center-cut bone-in pork loin chops (about 3/4 inch thick) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth 3/4 cup tawny port wine 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Peel and core the pears, then slice them into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the pears and cook, stirring once or twice, until warmed and slightly softened but they still retain their shape, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the pears to a plate.

Season the pork chops with the salt and pepper. Spray the skillet with cooking spray again, then add the pork chops and cook until just slightly blush in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a second plate and cover to keep warm.

Add the broth and port to the skillet, raise the heat to high, and cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the mustard and whisk until dissolved, then return the pears to the pan and stir to combine.

Spoon the sauce over the chops and serve.

what’s cookin’ in CresCent rolls Anything is possible with Crescent Rolls...that versatile refrigerator staple. The chicken recipe is from a friend and the other I found while looking through my stack of magazines. These are both easy to make and will be enjoyed by you and your guests.

Smakelijk eten!

ChiCken CresCent wreath 2 tubes (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded colby-monterey jack cheese 2/3 cup condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted 1/2 cup chopped fresh broccoli 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper 1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts 1 can (5 oz.) white chicken, drained or 3/4 cup cubed cooked chicken 2 Tbsp. chopped onion Arrange crescent rolls on a 12-in. pizza pan, forming a ring with pointed ends facing the outer edge of pan and wide ends overlapping.

Combine the remaining ingredients; spoon in a circle over wide ends of rolls. Fold points over filling and tuck under wide ends (filling will be visible).

Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Asian Style Lettuce Wraps with Chicken and Crunchy Pears Makes 4 servings 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 1/2 tablespoons grated gingerroot 6 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts separated 1 pound ground chicken, dark meat 1 tablespoon chili sauce 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 large USA Pear, such as Red Anjou or Bosc, cored and cut in matchsticks Toasted sesame oil to taste 12 large tender lettuce leaves, such as bib, butter or red leaf Cilantro sprigs In small bowl, mix cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water to form smooth paste and set aside.

Warm peanut oil in skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add garlic, ginger and white parts of scallion and stir-fry until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently until it breaks into small pieces and is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.

Add chili sauce, hoisin, and soy sauce, stirring to combine and evenly distribute ingredients. Add reserved cornstarch slurry and stir until sauce is clear. Finish with reserved scallion greens, pear matchsticks, and a splash of sesame oil.

To serve, place heaping tablespoon of filling in middle of lettuce leaf with few cilantro leaves, if desired. Wrap lettuce around contents, pick up with hands and eat.

Check the Neck for Ripeness Pears are best enjoyed at the peak of ripeness. The best way to judge whether a fresh pear is ripe, sweet and juicy is to “check the neck”: ■ Press the neck, or stem end, of the pear with your thumb, and if it yields to gentle pressure it is ripe and ready to eat.

■ To ripen your pears at home, keep them at room temperature. Display these beautiful fruits in a decorative bowl as you wait for them to ripen.

■ To slow ripening, simply put the pears in the refrigerator.
