Classical music and the sound of rainfall fill the room, lit only by flames of candles and a light beam of sunshine coming through the window.

Lauri Long lies face-up on the table, eyes shut, ready for her hour-long anti-aging facial. Esthetician Becky Gonseth pulls hot, damp towels out of the towel warmer and begins a process of cleansing and exfoliation to loosen the pores on Long’s face.

“She does have a little sun damage, so I’ve been giving her microdermabrasion,” Gonseth says.

“Yeah, I about ruined my face being out in the sun all the time gardening,” Long says.

After doing extractions, Gonseth uses a micro-current machine to apply stimulation using red LED light, meant to firm and lift.

Toward the end of the facial, Gonseth applies a whit-

ening and brightening mask to Long’s face. She ends by massaging Long’s shoulders and arms and reminding her to do regular maintenance until their next session.

“You have to have a good skincare regiment at home because 80 percent of what your skin looks like is what you do at home – whether you’re getting sun, whether you’re cleansing your face or not,” Gonseth says.

As Long leaves, Gonseth prepares for her next client, Elaine Gordon, who will receive a double exfoliation using glycolic and lactic acid.

“Lactic acid is something I prefer to use in the wintertime because it has moisturizing benefits,” Gonseth says.

Choosing skincare When Gonseth was a factory worker – first at Bunn-O-Matic, then at Gits Manufacturing – she never imagined she would one day pursue a career in skincare.

“When I turned 43, I got really bad adult acne,” Gonseth said. “I was sent to a dermatologist in Des

Gibson Memorial Library is set to have its new website up and running Friday.

The Creston library first started out with a government URL (.us), and then switched to a commercial website (.com).

Now, it’s switching back to a government-owned URL. Gibson has chosen to work with Iowa Library Services to build its new site using a Public Libraries on the Web (PLOW) tem-

plate for a few reasons: it’s free, the library staff will be able to update the website and it will look cleaner in design.

“It will have a little different, newer look,” said David H a r grove, Gibson Memorial Library director.

The more I talked to her, the more interested I got (in skincare).”

When Gits closed, Gonseth took advantage of free education through the Trade Act. She completed the esthetics program at Iowa School of Beauty in Urbandale and was licensed in October 2014. That same month, she opened her own

business in Creston, Nu-U Skin Care, which is located in The Final Cut 2 building on North Sumner Avenue.

For Gonseth, each workday is different, but commuting is always involved, as she lives in Murray but works in both Creston and Osceola. In Osceola, she works at Wild Poppy Salon GONSETH | 2A

Dorothy John Lenox

Celebration of life funeral services for Dorothy John, 96, of Lenox who passed away Saturday, Jan. 30, John 2016, at the Lenox Care Center will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, at Lenox Christian Church. Visitation will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. Friday with family present from 5 to 7 p.m. at Ritchie Funeral Home, 124 S. Main St., in Lenox. Interment will be held at North Fairview Cemetery in Lenox. Memorials may be directed to Lenox Christian Church or American Cancer Society.

Memories may be shared with the family at www. ritchiefuneralhome.com.

Arrangements were entrusted to Ritchie Funeral Home of Lenox.

Dorothy Kathleen (Robinson) John, the oldest daughter of Mark Leo Robinson and Lulu (Smith) Robinson, was born Nov. 9, 1919, at a farm home near Conway in Taylor County.

She grew up attending rural school in Marshall Township, and graduated from Conway High School with the class of 1937.

On May 4, 1938, she was united in marriage to Kenneth John at the Christian Church Parsonage in Maryville, Missouri. They were privileged to share 58 years together. This marriage was blessed with the birth of two daughters, Dianne and Jeanne.

Dorothy and Kenneth lived on a farm near Sharpsburg for six years. In 1946,

“We need volunteers right now,” Gerharz said. “Have your friends, relatives, acquaintances and neighbors call the Chamber. We will be compiling a list of volunteers so we can begin forming committees.”

RAGBRAI recommends having 1,000 volunteers.

City officials said volunteers are needed before and during the event.

Gerharz said eventually these volunteers will form 19 committees. Some of those committees include entertainment, sanitation, housing, ride right, food and vendors, publicity, electricity and more. Gerharz added that a Creston RAGBRAI 2016 Facebook has been

they moved to a farm south of Lenox. Together they worked as a team, Dorothy helping with the planting and harvesting of the crops.

In 1981, they built a new home and retired in Lenox.

Dorothy was a member of Lenox Christian Church since 1944. She served as a Deaconess and took an active part in the responsibilities of Christian Women’s Fellowship. She was a PEO member, avid reader, loved to play bridge and being involved in her children’s and grandchildren’s activities. Dorothy and Kenneth enjoyed traveling and visited all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and eight European countries. She had a close relationship with her sisters, and in their later years, they enjoyed card games, shopping or just sharing time together.

Left to cherish Dorothy’s memory is her daughter, Jeanne (Roger) Maharry of Ames; six grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; three sisters, Arlene Grimm of Winterset, Norma Cobb of St. Joseph, Missouri, and Marjorie (Bill) Sanders of Norwalk; a brother-inlaw Ivan (Marilyn) John of Punta Gorda, Florida; a sister-in-law Donna John of Des Moines; along with many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Preceding Dorothy in death are her parents, Mark and Lulu Robinson; her husband Kenneth John; a daughter Dianne Heaberlin; a sister Helen Jean Morris and an infant grandson.

The memory of a wellspent life never dies.

We cannot keep you forever, but the memories, we can hold close in our hearts.

launched and a Twitter page should be created this week.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase Creston and southwest Iowa,” Gerharz said, “but we are going to need all hands on deck.”

Estimates have shown RAGBRAI can bring in $3 million a day to local economies, which includes gas, meals and other items.

Volunteers can call the Chamber at 641-782-7021.

Creston has not hosted RAGBRAI in 19 years.

Creston was an overnight town in 1997 and 1984.

This year, RAGBRAI organizers tout the route as the third-shortest course, the 24th flattest and 15th easiest.

All stops include Glenwood, Shenandoah, Creston, Leon, Centerville, Ottumwa, Washington and Muscatine.

Gerharz added the entire route cyclists will take to and out of Creston will not be announced until early March.

“That (route) will be in coordination with road construction in different counties,” said Mike Taylor, city administrator.

Services Gonseth sees anywhere from two to nine clients per day. She offers both speed and full facials, LED light therapy, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, waxing and makeup application. She is also beginning to introduce ultrasound, which boosts collagen and elastin in the skin.

Microdermabrasion and chemical peels help heal sun damage, decrease wrinkles and downsize pores, Gonseth said. She offers a combination of these two services, which is called a double exfoliation.

“Usually chemical peels or microderms are the big thing,” Gonseth said. “In 30 minutes, a client is in and out, so I can book them back to back.”

LED light therapy is applied using a microcurrent machine.

“It’s equivalent to the amount of electricity you make in your own body,” Gonseth said. “When the prongs hit your face, there’s a tingling sensation. Then, the electricity penetrates your muscle, which makes your muscle react, and it stimulates that to start tight-

ening and firming. There’s different colors: red is for firming and lifting; green is for firming and pigmentation; yellow is usually for people with rosacea, or adult acne; and blue is for people with acne.”

Gonseth uses a medical grade line in esthetics and a gluten-free makeup line: Mirabella.

“You are never too young or too old to start taking good care of your skin,” Gonseth said.

There are several ways to keep your skin in good condition, including being aware of the effects food and stress can have on your skin, cleansing your face daily and using preventive products.

about esthetics, Gonseth said.

“But I do have a lot of regular clients now who are addicted because once you’ve tried it, and you realize what your skin feels like and how it starts to transform, you can’t stop,” Gonseth said.

That’s the best part for her: the transformations.

“It’s when my clients can’t wait to show me the first and last selfie of their treatment,” Gonseth said. “It’s when they tell me they are no longer wearing as much makeup because they feel confident in their own skin for the first time.”

Pictured is a screenshot of Washington Public Library’s website, which is one of several Iowa libraries that uses a Public Libraries on the Web (PLOW) website sponsored by Iowa Library Services. Gibson Memorial Library will launch its new PLOW site Friday, and it will look somewhat similar to Washington’s library page. PLOW offers a variety of templates to choose from, and some include scrolling photos on the home page, like the page pictured.

Teutsch and I will be able to manage the content ourselves – things like the events calendar, library hours, contact information and the history of the library.”

Nearly two years ago, the library board chose to purchase a commercial website. But it cost the library to keep it running, and there were also fees anytime library staff wanted to make changes to the website.

“It was troublesome to me when I initially took this job that I would have to go through an intermediate party to manage our digital identity,” Hargrove said. “That is why I pushed for a PLOW website. Iowa Library Services not only hosts it for free, but they train our staff how to use it. Sue and I will be able to manage the (website) firsthand.”

As there are currently two Gibson websites in existence, Hargrove said the library will continue to own the old .com domain name, and anyone who attempts to visit the old

site will be redirected to the new page: www.creston.lib. ia.us.

Hargrove and Teutsch will attend a PLOW class Friday, taught by Marie Harms of Iowa Library Services, to learn how to use the new website. After the class Friday, Hargove said the site should be up and running for the public.

“We will be able to manage the website ourselves, make changes, add things to it and put upcoming events on it,” Teutsch said.

PLOW websites are used by several Iowa libraries, including Washington Public Library and Winterset Public Library. The Creston library’s site will look somewhat similar; there are different templates for PLOW websites that Hargrove chose from.

While cost and management are administrative benefits of the new website, Hargrove said there will be changes the public can enjoy as well. One is that it will be updated more frequently, which will help the public stay informed about events. Additionally, Hargrove wants to add more information to the

home page about the history of the library.

“I am, by training, a historian, so when I started here, I was a little disappointed that the history of the library wasn’t very comprehensive,” Hargrove said. “Because we have a lot of those resources upstairs in our archives, it was interesting to me to do research and write a little about it. I’ll be able to post that on the website.”

As Hargrove and Teutsch begin to master the management side of the new website, the No. 1 thing the public can look forward to is improved content, Hargrove said.

“In my opinion, our website is a significantly underutilized asset, but in this day and

age, a library’s Web presence and the other digital resources we offer are a very significant component of our public services,” Hargrove said. “Going forward, I think developing our digital presence is a big part of how we represent our library to the public.”

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, February 3, 2016

TRAPPING access to safe, legal abortions PARK CITY, Utah — This week, a Houston grand jury returned a surprise indictment. It was tasked with investigating videos that purported to expose Planned Parenthood for selling the body parts of aborted fetuses.

The grand jury found no wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood, but instead charged the video producers, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt from the anti-abortion group The Center for Medical Progress, with tampering with a government record, a felony.

Meanwhile, another video was released this week, this one an accurate depiction of the threat to women’s reproductive rights around the country. “TRAPPED” is a moving documentary that premiered Sunday night at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It demonstrates how access to safe, legal abortions has come under assault in the U.S., as state after state passes restrictive “TRAP” laws, that’s “Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers.” These laws, which have proliferated since the tea-party sweep of state legislatures in 2010, purport to protect the health of

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

women, but actually result in the closure of women’s health clinics.

The film is being released nationally as a woman’s right to choose whether or not to have an abortion faces a crucial challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 2.

Dawn Porter is the award-winning filmmaker who wrote, directed and produced “TRAPPED.” While in Mississippi shooting an earlier film, she learned that the state had only one remaining clinic where abortions were available.

She went there to meet Dr. Willie Parker, an obstetrician/gynecologist.

Appearing on “Democracy Now!” early in the morning after the premiere of “TRAPPED,” Dr. Parker told me: “I’ve been an OBGYN for 21 years, a doctor for 25.

And when it became clear to me ... that one in three women need abortion care in their reproductive

lives and that disproportionately poor women and women of color were not having those services, it became important to me to guarantee access to these very important health services by moving back to my hometown in Birmingham and to provide services in the South.”

The film follows Dr. Parker and several other abortion providers in Alabama, where TRAP laws have been passed that mandate onerous changes to clinics where abortions are provided. Most of these laws are based on model legislation drafted by an anti-choice group called Americans United for Life.

They force safe, legally functioning abortion service providers to make costly and unnecessary improvements to their facilities. In scores of cases, the clinics cannot afford to make the changes, and have to shut down.

In one scene of the film “TRAPPED,” Dr. Parker is shown with a patient. He is relaying to her information that is required by Alabama’s TRAP law: “I’m required by law to tell you that by having an abortion, it can increase your risk for breast

cancer. There is no scientific evidence to support that. Now, the state requires me to tell you that if you were having this procedure, there is the risk of complications. I think that’s a good thing to know, the risk. The state requires me to tell you that you can have heavy bleeding that can be life-threatening, and it could require you to be transferred to the hospital and need a blood transfusion. If you’re having a bleeding that can only be controlled with removing your uterus, you’d have to have a hysterectomy, and you’d lose your ability to have babies in the future.

Those are all the risks associated, but guess what. Those are the exact same risks that’s associated with having a baby. It is to say that you’re not taking any extra health risk. So abortion is extremely safe.”

In Texas, the TRAP law, known as HB2, passed in 2013. Before HB2 became law, there were 40 operating abortion clinics in Texas. Only 19 remain. A San Antonio clinic filed a lawsuit opposing HB2’s restrictions. That case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hell-

erstedt (formerly v. Cole), will be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 2, with a decision expected by June.

The doctored videos that were created to take down Planned Parenthood failed in their goal; their creators face years in prison.

While “TRAPPED” will be airing in June on the PBS documentary series “Independent Lens,” it also will be shown in movie theaters, with concurrent community screenings. Dawn Porter hopes her latest film will engage, persuade and mobilize people across the country as this critical healthcare issue is decided by the Supreme Court. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,300 stations.

Donald Trump’s star on Hollywood Boulevard was spray painted over HOLLYWOOD — God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The People vs. O.J. Simpson miniseries stars David Schwimmer as O.J.’s buddy and lawyer Bob Kardashian. The trial got his family hooked on publicity. Kim Kardashian recently remarked she wishes she could take a selfie with Jesus, although most people would say Jesus has suffered enough.

New York Giants defensive end Jay Bromley was accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her in a Herald Square hotel in New York on Saturday night. She has bruises after he struck her with the front of his car when he drove away. The incident signaled the official start of the NFL off-season.

The Hollywood Reporter disclosed over the weekend that Caitlyn Jenner has discovered that her health care insurance policy does not cover the cost of gender-reassignment surgery. You can’t make it up. It seems that Caitlyn will have to pay the surgeon in cash to cut out the middle man.

Newsday reports Ringling Brothers was only able to invite fourteen qualified clown applicants to attend its fourteen-day boot camp at the company’s Clown College in Sarasota. They found jobs right after they graduated. There’s a nationwide clown shortage except, of course, in New Hampshire.

end of candidates campaigning in every corner of Iowa for voter support. It’s a grueling and primitive contest of survival. Until now, Donald Trump’s idea of roughing it was when room service took more than five rings to answer.

Donald Trump said Monday that if he gets the GOP nomination he’ll turn over his real estate business to his kids. He said until then he’ll do as much business as he can. Late Monday he left Iowa to fly back East to try to evict a black family from their home, it’s at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Donald Trump’s star on Hollywood Boulevard was spray painted over with a swastika Sunday evening. It’s now a partisan issue.

Republicans called painting a swastika over Trump’s name a disgraceful act of inappropriate vandalism, while Democrats call it an example of forward thinking.

Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders finished strong Monday after the poll in the Des Moines Register showed him closing the gap among like caucus goers. He had some obstacles to overcome.

For instance, Bernie spent the first two weeks in January campaigning all over Idaho instead of Iowa.

Alien on the planet of fitness In the flush of the new year, and at an old friend’s prodding, I joined, for the first time ever, a health club. My dear friend’s theory is this: On days I don’t want to go exercise, she’ll make me, and vice versa.

This is the same friend who 40 years ago suggested we follow a faddish hot-dog diet. I can’t remember, for the life of me, what were touted as its merits, beyond the nutrition of sauerkraut.

Mercifully, that hot-dog disaster lasted only one day before I rebelled, and looking back, neither of us needed to be dieting. But my failure to stick to the plan angered the friend -- whose name will remain Betty -- and I remembered this all too well as I stood beside her and signed up to pay for a year’s worth of indoor exercising.

After suggesting to Betty, to no avail, alternative plans -- walking, biking, joining a free exercise group at the library -- I vowed to try it her way. I need some kind of exercise, and, more than that, all the friends I can keep. I did reserve the right to critical observation.

The club is scab ugly. Let me begin there. Health, in my opinion, should include an emotional component, and who can be mentally disposed to become fit if the place you’re exercising is garish, a love child of Chuck E. Cheese and the ER? If you have the sensibilities of a

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

colorblind goat, you’ll gag at bright purple and gold as a backdrop for sweating people. I suspected that a health club would not look like the inside of Sainte-Chapelle, but this is beyond the pale.

The contortionist machines are lined up in what must make some sense to the owners, most of them facing a bank of televisions to distract the customers pedaling, walking or running.

When I walk on the road at home, I don’t want music in my ears or a television as my prow. I like to use the time to think. And while you do have to wear earphones to hear the club’s TVs, it’s impossible to avoid -- without bringing your own -- the piped music that bears no resemblance to any genre with which I have a passing acquaintance. It is simply awful.

There are many possibilities for pleasing, fast-paced music to exercise by. Maybe a little Jimmy Buffett, to remind us that another swimsuit season will be here before we know it? Maybe a reasonable rotation that would attempt to please some of the people all of the time? Maybe classical as a classy compromise?

I have found, however, if I concentrate on the tattoos of club members lifting weights, I forget somewhat about the terrible music. My mind starts to explore the juxtaposition of defacing the body on some days and working to build it up on others.

And I also can marvel at gym trivia -- for instance, how a trio of middle-age women manages to talk the whole time they ride stationary bikes, a lung-capacity feat that beats anything I could do at 22.

Twice now, I’ve completed a 30-minute, station-to-station plan that seems to work body parts I had put on a high shelf, out of reach. A green light signals when it’s time to move from one machine to another, a red when it’s time to stop. Half the time, I’m still reading the instructions when red flashes.

Betty goes about her business in another part of the building, and I think that’s best. If I had the breath to talk, I might say something that would make her mad. *** Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ...

t may sound contrary to your healthy eating plan, but the human body actually needs some types of fat for heart and brain health. One common source is cooking oil, such as olive oil.

Of the cooking oils most commonly used in North America, such as olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil and various vegetable oils, olive oil contains the most monounsaturated fat, which is widely recognized for its potential role in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. In fact, beginning in 2016, olive oils will display the American Heart Association’s Heart Check-Mark* to alert consumers about olive oil’s heart-healthy benefits.

Can olive oil stand the heat?

Dear Heloise: My daughter told me that OLIVE OIL should not be used for frying — for example, chicken. If that is true, how should I be using it? — Frances W., Hope Mills, N.C. Well, I hate to get into the middle of a mother-daughter “discussion,” but, according to my research, she is not completely correct. Years ago, much misinformation about frying food with olive oil (related to the smoking point at high temperatures) was circulating. However, current information shows that it can safely take the high temperatures used for frying food. Just don’t heat it until it smokes — that’s the point of no return. If the oil starts smoking, called the smoke point, it’s too hot and not wise to fry food in.

Go ahead and fry the chicken without worry. — Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 782795000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise. com LEFTOVER VEGETABLES Dear Heloise: Like most, I cook carrots and potatoes in a pot roast. We prefer the vege-

STUCK CAKE Dear Heloise: I was recently baking a birthday cake in a fluted cake pan. The recipe called for it to cool for 15 minutes and then remove.

Because it was late, I let it sit overnight before trying to remove the cake.

The next morning, I couldn’t get it out. My husband ran some hot water in a large bowl and sat the cake pan in it for about a minute.

The cake came right out, saving the day. — Lucky Wife, via email WASH GLOVES Dear Heloise: I read your column on using disposable gloves for food preparation. I use nitrile gloves when making a variety of foods. Before I touch the food, I put on the gloves, then wash them with BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker an antibacterial soap and rinse. Just a little added food safety. — Jesse M., Mertztown, Pa. NO-DRIP OIL Dear Heloise: Because the can of cooking oil gets greasy and slippery, I put a wristband around the can near the top.

tables not too soft. On the first serving, they are perfect, but as leftovers they become overcooked. To work around this, I have two methods.

I cook as many carrots and potatoes as will be eaten in the first serving, and leave the broth as is (no gravy). For the subsequent meal, I cook appropriate amounts of carrots and potatoes in the broth from the roast.

Another second-meal approach (our favorite) is to cook more potatoes than needed for the first meal. For the second serving, mash the cooked potatoes. They are not fluffy like potatoes cooked for mashing, but they are savory and flavorful. Sometimes I even mash a bit of carrots with them for a bit of extra flavor.

They are really quite good. — Rhonda D., via email Yum and double yum!

Mashed — or smashed, as I call them (not whipped) — potatoes with carrots is delicious! A sneaky way to add some veggies to a meal, also. (c)2016 by King Features Thanks! — Heloise Syndicate Inc.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have lots of energy now, because fiery Mars is in your sign. However, today is a poor day for financial negotiations and agreements. Postpone things until tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Not until this evening are you free of this fuzzy thinking today. And you can feel it!

Just cope as best you can, and postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Research of any kind might go well today if you can maintain your focus. Although this is a good week to shop for wardrobe goodies, today is not the day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You are energized because the Sun is in your

sign and Mars is at the top of your chart. Enjoy schmoozing with friends today but agree to nothing important.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Enjoy your popularity! Travel plans are exciting.

Nevertheless, today is a poor day to shop. Buy only food or gas. Tomorrow, it’s all systems go!

YOU BORN TODAY You are individualistic and unconventional. You have your own way of doing things, which might appear impractical, but you

generally succeed. Because you are heading for a time of financial accumulation in the next three years, settle your debts this year. If you clear away indebtedness, you will be in the best position possible. In order to grow in the future, consolidate your affairs this year.

Johnny out?

Johnny Manziel’s time with the Cleveland Browns will come to an end in March, according to a league source.

The Browns released a statement from new director of football operations Sashi Brown on Tuesday that expressed disappointment in Manziel but stopped short of saying the quarterback’s run in Cleveland is over.

“We’ve been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field. Johnny’s continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization,” Brown said. “His status with our team will be addressed when permitted by league rules. We will have no further comment at this time.”

OU rolls NORMAN, Okla.

— Buddy Hield was just the second-best scorer in the building Tuesday night.

With Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant on hand, Hield scored 17 points to help No. 1 Oklahoma defeat TCU 95-72.

Hield, the nation’s No. 2 scorer, was held well below his 26.2 average, but he shot an efficient 7 for 13 from the field and made 3 of 8 3-point attempts as the 2014 NBA MVP and four-time scoring champion watched.

Jordan Woodard scored 14 points, Isaiah Cousins had 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and Ryan Spangler had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Sooners (19-2, 7-2 Big 12), who won their fourth straight.

Hoosiers win ANN ARBOR, Mich.

— Facing an early double-digit deficit in a tough environment, Indiana coach Tom Crean still felt fairly confident.

“I didn’t have any panic. We were getting great shots, they just weren’t going in,” Crean said.

The 22nd-ranked Hoosiers regrouped and rallied, finishing the first half with 25 straight points en route to an 80-67 victory over Michigan on Tuesday night.

Indiana missed eight straight shots early in the game and fell behind 10-2.

The Wolverines eventually went ahead 15-4, but by halftime it was the Hoosiers who had turned the game into a rout.

Yogi Ferrell had 17 points and nine assists for Indiana.

Kelsey Fields scored 14 points and Samantha Dunphy finished with 10 points and seven rebounds as Creston controlled the inside play.

Katie Adair had eight

points, including the winning basket in the final seconds, as Creston rallied for a 19-18 victory in the second game.

No. 14 West Virginia beats No. 13 Iowa State AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s Hilton Magic seems to be losing some of its power.

No. 14 West Virginia harassed Iowa State with its trademark in-your-face defense and dominated the rebounding in beating the 13th-ranked Cyclones 8176 on Tuesday night.

It was Iowa State’s second loss in less than four weeks at Hilton Coliseum, where the Cyclones have posted a long string of big victories through the years and have been practically unbeatable the last three.

They were up 15 points in the first half and led by five with a little more than 3 minutes left but couldn’t hold on.

“We’ve got a great team, a great coaching staff.

We’ve just got to finish,” Iowa State’s Monte Morris said.

“We’ve finished before.

I don’t think it’s the end of the w o r l d . Morris We have a lot of games left. We’ll just keep working and try to get better every day.”

Iowa State (16-6, 5-4 Big 12) also faltered down the stretch in a 72-62 loss at Texas A&M on Saturday and has its second twogame losing streak of the season.

Jaysean Paige scored 23 points, including a crucial 3 with 1:05 left, to propel West Virginia (18-4, 7-2) to its league-leading fourth Big 12 road win.

Devin Williams added 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Mountaineers, who forced 16 turnovers and hammered Iowa State on the boards 43-26.

“It was tough boxing out those guys,” Morris said.

“Sometimes it was just the roll of the ball. We’ve just got to prepare for our next game and when we get a chance to play down there, we’ve got to play harder.”

The return engagement in Morgantown is Feb. 22.

Paige shot 10 of 17 from the field, none bigger than the 3 that gave West Virginia a 75-74 lead. The Mountaineers scored 18 second-chance points and two of the biggest came when Tarik Phillips grabbed his own missed free throw and sank two foul shots to seal it with 19 seconds left.

Georges Niang scored 20 points and Abdel Nader had 19 for Iowa State.

M a t t Thomas scored 11 Niang and Morris had nine to go with 10 assists.

Despite the constant defensive pressure, Morris did not have a turnover.

That last figure was no surprise to West Virginia coach Bob Huggins.

“He’s got to be one of the best point guards in America,” Huggins said. “He’s terrific. He’s shooting the ball better, more consistently. He’s got a great in-between game.”

Niang, however, had eight turnovers, which left the ISU star hanging his head.

“That’s just unacceptable,” he said. “That type of stuff can’t happen from a senior, so you can point the finger right at me.”

Iowa State fell behind by as many as six points in the second half before Niang’s 3 and layup put the Cyclones back on top 68-64.

Paige tied it at 70-all on a layup with 2:36 left and the Mountaineers hit six straight free throws in the final 41 seconds.

Iowa State opened this game on a 21-8 run, capped when reserve Deonte Burton went sideways for a thunderous one-handed dunk.

Burton followed with a block and a 15-footer to make it 25-10. But West Virginia’s pressure defense and superior rebounding started causing fits for the Cyclones, and ISU | 8A

BUSINESS/FARM

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, February 3, 2016

Lenox Monument now under new ownership LENOX – Lenox Monument Service has new owners with family and community ties. After more than three decades of serving Lenox and the surrounding area, C.B. Adams has sold Lenox Monument Service to Cody and Brook Adams.

Cody is the son of Jo and C.B. Adams.

“I’ve been setting headstones for Dad for years, ever since he started,” Cody said. “The main reason we bought the business is that he is at retirement age. A

few years back, he asked us if this would be something we would be interested in.

I have always helped him while also keeping up in the plumbing business. It was a natural transition.”

Brook has been a surgical nurse in Creston for nine years. The couple lives in Lenox, so Brook said it will be easier to work in Lenox, handling the business along with family responsibilities.

“C.B. is going to stay and help me,” Brook said. “He has been doing it for proba-

bly 30 years. He works with Coldspring, a company in St. Cloud, Minnesota. They are one of the largest natural stone manufacturers serving with memorials and monuments. Their design expertise coupled with ours will allow us to beautifully celebrate life for our clients.”

At Lenox Monument, clients will be able to see a stone before buying it using a computer mock-up of the stone. A client will be able to see details, lettering and pictures if he or she wants

pictures.

“You can have real life pictures of your farm or of people,” Brook said. “We’ll be able to do all of that on the computer screen in front of the client. That will help our clients visualize what they are purchasing. C.B. has many resources. He keeps pictures of stones he has done in the past. So, that can help clients too.”

Lenox Monument won’t have regular office hours, but Cody or Brook acn be reached by phone anytime.

If you are coming from out of town, be sure to call ahead.

“We love Lenox and think it’s important to keep the businesses going (here),” Brook said. “We really wanted to continue Lenox Monument.”

Brook graduated from Creston High School before receiving her degree in American studies from the University of Iowa. She then attended Southwestern Community College, receiving her licensed practical nurse degreel, and attended

Des Moines Area Community College to become a registered nurse.

Cody graduated from Lenox High School before receiving his secondary education degree from Northwest Missouri State University.

Cody taught high school in Woodbine before owning and operating Adams Plumbing.

Brook and Cody have three boys, Samson, Patton and Winston, and a baby girl is due to arrive in February.

Century and heritage farm owners encouraged to apply for program DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today encouraged eligible farm owners to apply for the 2016 Century and Heritage Farm Program.

The program is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and recognizes families that have owned their farm for 100 years in the case of century farms and 150 years for heritage farms.

“These awards are an opportunity to recognize the hard work and commitment by these families that is necessary to keep a farm in the

same family for 100 or 150 years,” Northey said. “If you consider all the challenges and unexpected obstacles each of them would have had to overcome during their life on the farm, it gives you a greater appreciation of the dedication and perseverance of each of the families being recognized.”

Applications are available on the Department’s website at www.IowaAgriculture. gov by clicking on the century farm or heritage farm link under “Hot Topics.”

Applications may also be requested from Becky Lorenz, coordinator of the Century and Heritage Farm

Program via phone at 515281-3645, email at Becky.

Lorenz@IowaAgriculture. gov or by writing to Century or Heritage Farms Program, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Henry A. Wallace Building, 502 E. 9th St., Des Moines, IA 50319.

Farm families seeking to qualify for the Century or Heritage Farms Program must submit an application to the department no later than June 1.

This is the 40th anniversary of the century farm program, which was started in 1976 as part of the nation’s bicentennial celebration. To

date, more than 18,600 farms from across the state have received this recognition.

The heritage farm program was started in 2006, on the 30th anniversary of the century farm program, and 837 farms have been recognized.

Last year, 366 century farms and 101 heritage farms were recognized.

The ceremony to recognize the 2016 century and heritage farms is scheduled to be held at the Iowa State Fair on Thursday, Aug. 18, in Pioneer Livestock Pavilion.

“Century and heritage farm recognitions at the Iowa State Fair are a great celebration of Iowa agriculture

Creston High School receives CASE grant from DuPont Pioneer DuPont Pioneer has donated $5,000 toward Creston High School’s agriculture education program as part of the Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) program.

This grant is part of the DuPont Pioneer sponsorship of the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) CASE grant program. CASE offers grants of $2,500 to $5,000 to help train teachers and supply equipment and resources to prepare students for careers in agriculture and food. The goal is to support elimination of three cost barrier areas that have limited implementation of the program in their schools: teacher training, equipment and materials, and end-of-course assessments.

“Ensuring that we have enough safe, affordable food for all will require that more

students understand agriculture and become leaders in food production,” said Michelle Book, director of community and academic relations for DuPont Pioneer.

“We know that we cannot do this alone and are working with others in agriculture and education to give teachers the best resources to encourage youth to understand agriculture and consider careers in the industry.”

“Attending additional training in the CASE curriculum will continue to move the Creston agriculture education department forward and enhance student learning and interest in agriculture,” said Kelsey Bailey, Creston High School ag instructor. “The CASE curriculum for natural resources will replace the current curriculum for environmental science, which is taught from a textbook. This will spark

student interest in an extremely important segment of the agriculture industry that is not noticeable to them but will be recognized with the new curriculum.”

CASE is a multi-year approach to agriscience education with rigorous educator training requirements and hands-on, inquiry-focused learning activities. The collaboration between DuPont Pioneer and CASE is a special project of the National FFA Foundation. This is the third year of involvement
