Creston Schools hire new business manager

By BAILEY POOLMAN

CNA staff reporter bpoolman@crestonnews.com

Creston School Board accepted the contract of Billie Jo Greene for business manager of Creston School District at a special meeting Monday.

Greene is the current shared business manager at East Union Community Schools in Afton and Diagonal Community Schools in Diagonal. She will start in Creston and Prescott Thursdays and

Fridays, and be at East Union Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

“I am very excited,” Greene said. “I’ll be learning who Greene everybody is, so it’ll take me a little while to get to know everyone. But, I am looking forward to it.”

Greene, 50, formerly of Tingley, graduated from Mount Ayr

Community School District before earning her degree in accounting from AIB College of Business. She is married with two sons, Steven and Scott. She has been at East Union Schools since 2001, and worked as shared business manager and board secretary with Diagonal since 2005.

“For the next four months, I’ll be doing four schools. ... I’m also going to help East Union and Diagonal get through their end of the year,” Greene said. “For the next five months, it’s just go-

ing to be learning how Creston does things, because I don’t want to change things, I want to learn how things work.”

Greene was hired after previous business manager Roy Stroud was unable to work because of health reasons. She was one of four applicants for the position.

Business managers oversee school finance, business issues, payroll, bill pay, annual budgets and serve as board secretary.

tribute money for the new library at Lincoln School.

The estimated cost for a new library at Lincoln School is $1.8 million. Project details include moving the library from its current location on West Howard Street to the 17,000-squarefoot Lincoln School building on West Jefferson Street.

However, the board has only raised $400,000 for the project in four years.

Kolesik said she will also be providing the board with

Coulter also reported Creston: Arts Council has shown interest in having space in the lower level of Lincoln School, if the project comes to fruition.

Climate assessment paints stark picture WASHINGTON (MCT) — The warming of Earth, with human consumption of fossil fuels as the main cause, will have severe consequences for every region of the United States, according to the Third National Climate Assessment released Tuesday morning by the Obama administration.

Mandated by Congress and published every four years, the report is a science-based resource that is meant to inform public policy and private sector decisions.

The report concludes that extreme weather events influenced by climate change have grown

Most Americans believe that climate change is happening or will happen in their lifetimes, according to a March Gallup poll.

more frequent and intense, including heat waves, drought and severe precipitation. “These and other aspects of climate change are disrupting people’s lives and damaging some sectors of our economy,” the report said.

Most Americans believe that climate change is happening or will happen in their lifetimes, according to a March Gallup poll. But

only one in three sees it as “serious threat” to their way of life, the poll reported.

The climate assessment is meant, in part, to drive home the seriousness of the threat by focusing on local impacts. “The overall message is that climate change is happening right now — we can’t think of this as an issue for future generations,” said Radley Horton,

one of the lead authors and a climate scientist at the Earth Institute’s Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University.

“We know that the effects on ecosystems, infrastructure, economics and public health are going to grow.”

The National Climate Assessment also assesses humanity’s contribution to climate change, the thorniest question tied to the issue and the one at the heart of political disputes over it. Very early on, the report states that lots of different kinds of evidence “confirm that human activities” have driven

global warming over the last 50 years, specifically the emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases from the burning of coal, oil and gas.

The paper tackles in plain English and swift strokes the arguments that climate contrarians generally use to deny that man-made climate change is occurring. The report states, for example, that satellite data show that the warming has not been caused by greater solar activity or by volcanic eruptions. A so Please see CLIMATE, Page 2

called pause in recent global average land temperatures “appears to be related to cyclic changes in the oceans and in the sun’s energy output,” the report said.

Written by more than 240 scientists, business people and other experts, the report explains that the U.S. annual mean temperature has risen by 1.3 to 1.9 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 19th century, with most of the increase occurring since 1970. “Temperatures are projected to rise another 2 degrees F to 4 degrees F in most areas” of the country over the next few decades, according to the report.

If the U.S. and other big emitters enact polices that would cut emissions considerably, U.S. temperatures would rise about 3 degrees to 5 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century. Under today’s “business-asusual scenario,” U.S. average temperatures would rise by 5 degrees to 10 degrees, which means that summers in New Hampshire by the end of the century would be as hot as those in North Carolina now. “Extreme heat is becoming more common, while extreme cold is becoming less common,” the report says.

The report sketches out sobering scenarios for different regions. The Northeast and Midwest, for instance, would see a huge increase in heavy downpours that could lead to flooding and erosion. The Southwest would be more prone to extreme

heat, drought and wildfire.

The first rains after fires compound the peril and damage because they wash down debris and earth left behind, said Gregg Garfin, a climatologist at University of Arizona and a co-author.

The climate assessment arrives amidst increased efforts by the Obama administration to address climate change. In February, the administration created socalled climate hubs under the Agriculture Department to connect farmers and ranchers with universities, industry groups and federal agencies to help prepare for disasters worsened by climate change, such as wildfires, pests, flooding and drought.

Obama has also directed the Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department to develop a new generation of tougher fuel economy standards for heavy-duty, longhaul trucks. The draft rules are due by March 2015 and the final version a year later.

The president also plans to ask Congress for $1 billion in his 2015 budget to establish a “climate resiliency fund” that would finance research, preparation and infrastructure to adapt to extreme weather driven by global warming.

Recently, the administration also came out with a blueprint to reduce emissions of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas.

DES MOINES (MCT) — The race for governor in Iowa has started shifting into higher gear now that the legislative session has ended.

Jake Ketzner, Branstad-Reynolds campaign manager, said he is “confidently optimistic” about the five-term GOP governor’s re-election chances.

Branstad, 67, faces a June 3 primary challenge from Lohrville Republican Tom Hoefling, 53. He doesn’t plan to fully shift into campaign mode until he finishes work Branstad on bills the Legislature sent him before ending its session last week.

For his part, Sen. Jack Hatch, DDes Moines, 64, has made the shift to campaign mode, given the session is over and he does not face a Democratic primary opponent.

“This is a race. They know it is and we are prepared to meet every challenge in this race,” Hatch told reporters at a Statehouse news conference.

Ketzner said the source of his optimism is the fact that the BranstadReynolds campaign is on firm footing in fundraising, organization and public support. He noted the incumbent governor has $4 million cash on hand, more than 2,00 county co-chairs and 3,000 volunteers statewide, and new poll numbers giving him a 15-point lead.

On Monday, Davenport-based Victory Enterprises issued a survey of 400 registered votes taken last week that showed Branstad garnering 48 percent and Hatch 33 percent. But

Hatch dismissed the poll, which had a 4.9 percent margin of error, as “a partisan poll from a partisan pollster” that over-surveyed Republicans and under-surveyed independents.

“This race is getting closer,” said Hatch, noting concerns with Branstad’s management of state government and leadership skills.

“I want to return integrity back to state government,” Hatch said. “This governor, through his multiple scandals, has I think deteriorated people’s ability to feel good about government again.”

Hatch acknowledged that he is going up against “an experienced political machine” that is unbeaten in 12 contested elections. He expects Branstad will try “to paint me as a liberal Democrat from Des Moines,” yet he said he is the first businessman his party will put up against Branstad who supports a progressive agenda and understands the role of enterprise.

“I respect the private sector and the market-driven enterprises and that’s what they’re going to hear from me. I plan on coming out of the chute with a message that helps define who I am early,” he said.

In an interview last week, Branstad said he was pleased he and the Legislature were able to pass the largest tax cut in state history, education reforms, expanded health care changes and budget changes to control spending with an eye on long-term planning. He also touted $8.8 billion in private-sector investments since his term began.

“I am a candidate for re-election and I’m not assuming anything. I’m

going to work extremely hard to earn the right to serve the people of Iowa again. I believe we’ve made a real difference in the time we’ve been back,” Branstad said.

“I don’t intend to rest on my laurels,” he said. “Anybody that’s watched me knows I grew up on the farm, I started out at a very early age with a lot of responsibility and worked very hard. I love this state and nobody is going to out work me.

My goal is to be in the best shape and run the best campaign that I’ve ever run,” he added.

OPINION

Dogs, clocks and a drink of Crown Royal Luke Hall had a name like a hero in an old Western — simple, strong and uncompromising. It was fitting.

He could be tough if you crossed him, and he suffered no fools. But, if he liked you, Luke was the best friend and ally a man or a woman could have.

Luke held the firm belief that there might be a lot of good singers and even more mediocre ones in this old world, but Hank Williams was the best. What was the point, then, of listening to less than the best? So he didn’t. Not much, anyway.

He loved dogs. He was partial to a few breeds: the Belgian Bouvier, schnauzers, corgis. He wasn’t a purebreed snob, however — anything but. He loved almost any old dog that came into his life, from a three-legged beagle to numerous mutts of mystery origin. He couldn’t stand to see a homeless,

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

hungry stray. In a county with no official humane shelter, Luke’s home served. And it wasn’t just dogs he loved. For over three decades he owned a chatter-happy bird named Baby.

He had interesting friends, to say the least. When Luke and his beautiful wife Sue celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, the mysterious Prince Mongo from Memphis — and the Planet Zambodia — showed up to help celebrate.

Mongo, barefoot and flamboyant as usual, but always the gentleman, shielded the arriving local ladies from rain with his umbrella.

Luke cooked amazing turnip greens and red beans and rice and had a drink of Crown Royal at the end of the day. He loved true-crime books, American-made pickup trucks, old Cadillacs and antiques, especially fine clocks. At any given moment, one of the hundreds of clocks he’d collected and made shine would be chiming, ticking, tocking.

He judged junk emporiums by the price of old Ball canning jars, figuring their prices were a bellwether for everything else in the store. It was just one trick Luke had up his short sleeves. After retirement, he seldom wore neckties, dress shirts or an overcoat.

Luke might drive hundreds of miles in a single day to auctions or estate sales, always looking for the unusual bargain. Speaking of driving, he did his share. He left the Mississippi farm for Memphis

at age 14. He worked as a bicycle delivery boy and at other odd jobs before becoming a Memphis bus driver and beginning his long and distinguished career in urban transit.

After heading the bus drivers’ union in Memphis, he rose through the ranks and became international vice president of the Amalgamated Transit Union, a labor organization that represented 190,000 working people — everyone from bus drivers to baggage handlers — all over the U.S. and in Canada. Luke was a tough negotiator and had war stories he liked to tell you, if he liked you.

No matter how often or where he traveled, Luke kept his Mississippi Hills accent and down-home manner. His professional position was to him just another way to help those who were where he’d once been, and he never, ever forgot. He

was honest, fearless and funny.

He mowed his own yard, shampooed his own carpets, clipped his own dogs and vacuumed the house every day for his true love, Sue. Despite major success, the most important thing to him remained family — Sue, three devoted children and three adoring grandchildren. Luke might kid them all mercilessly, but at day’s end, he was in their camp.

My neighbor and good friend Luke Hall died Monday of cancer.

He was at home, surrounded by family, dogs, creatures great and small who loved him.

accessible library where it is.

As time goes by, if there is a real need for expansion, add on to the library to the south on the land already around and available. And without such a HUGE debt.

I also agree with Dr. Hicks, as many people are, let the decision to move the library go to a public vote. It is “our” library. Many people donated for the remodeling. Let us have a voice in making a change.

Here’s my advice From Jim Stalker Creston

When the in-town neighborhood schools were vacated, it seemed like a good idea. The old schools had horrendous heating bills in the winter and no air conditioning, except for the principal’s office, for the students.

School was often let out because of the tremendous heat buildup during hot days. The concept to close down the neighborhood schools, in favor of a central location, was first met with criticism.

As cooler heads prevailed, a plan was worked out, the middle school was added, and I believe

the centrally-located school is working out pretty well. All in all, we’ve got a school system we can be proud of for Creston.

Doing something with the vacated schools, then, became a problem. Luckily, all of the vacated schools have been dealt with, except Lincoln, and the library board wants it for a new library.

The only problem they see at this point is raising the funds. Bear in mind, the heating and cooling will still be a problem and become, as with the school district, very costly each month. This cost will have to be covered by the taxpayer.

As a bookseller for the past 40 years and with the advent of the

computer age, I’ve experienced a downswing away from reading the actual printed book. I’d like to think I’m an optimist and the trend will reverse itself, in time.

For the moment, I see no need for more space for more white paper books. And as most of you know from my letters, I’ve been wrong on more than one occasion.

My advice, for what it’s worth?

Take Larry Hicks advice and have a public vote. In the meantime, during the warm months, turn the building over to the people who want an art center and see how that works. Life is all about trial and error.

We like to hear from you!

Senior Hunter Sickels shot a 1-over par 37 to win medalist honors, while junior teammate Sam Hartsock finished as runner-up with his round of Sickels 2-over par 38.

Carson Whittington and Coleton Hoepker rounded out the team scoring for the Panthers with their rounds of 42 and 43, respectively.

“Hunter and Sam led the way for our team tonight,” Creston/O-M assistant coach Kristopher “Kritter” Hayes said. “They were paired together and fed off of each

Red Oak sweeps 8-1 duals over Panthers

By LARRY PETERSON CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Red Oak tennis looks to be strong again in 2014.

The Tiger girls improved to 7-0 for the season and 6-0 in Hawkeye 10 duals with an 8-1 victory over Creston/O-M here Monday. The Red Oak boys posted the same score over the Panthers in Red Oak. Creston girls are now 4-2 overall, 3-2 in Hawkeye 10 play, while the boys fall to 0-5 overall and 0-4 in league matches.

Caitlin McIlravy at No. 6 singles gained the lone victory in the girls dual, while Chantz Davidson won a 10-8 McIlravy super tiebreaker to

claim victory at No. 2 boys singles for the Panthers.

“The girls had positive attitudes tonight facing a tough opponent,” said Creston assistant coach Amanda Plymale. “Our final match scores did not reflect all of the close games we had. Audrey Fyock had many deuce points in multiple games, however it always turned in the opponents’ favor. Caitlin McIlravy scored our only point of the night with strong serves and consistent shots.”

The Panther girls face Chariton at home today.

In the boys meet, Red Oak veteran Jordan Nelson topped Garret Taylor 6-4, 6-2 in a competitive No. 1 singles match. Davidson then got past Red Oak’s Hayden Berry 3-6, 6-4, 10-8 (super tiebreaker).

Ryan Kucera nearly pulled off the same outcome against Weston Rolenc at No. 3 singles, falling 10-7 after both of them had won a set. Seth

Maitlen dropped a 10-4 tiebreaker set at No. 6 singles and teamed with Triston Davidson for a close 10-8 defeat at No. 3 doubles.

“Tonight was a good experience for our younger kids, because we were able to play best of three sets in singles,” Creston/O-M coach Kevin Cooper said. “We had numerous matches that we competed in until the end. We have to close out those matches to be successful.”

The Panther boys are at Chariton today.

For nearly 77 minutes of soccer Monday night at Panther Field, it appeared the Creston girls were about to make it a two-match winning streak, after two years of nothing but defeat.

Chariton’s Emily Grismore finished a runout to knock in the tying goal with 3:29 left, forcing overtime at 2-2. Neither team scored in two 10-minute overtime periods, so it came down to five penalty kicks for each team to break the tie.

When Chariton’s Sarah Crabb took her turn to finish out that round, both teams had made one PK. Creston’s was by Sadie Jones, who now stood in the net as the goalkeeper vs. Crabb.

The shot was a low blast to the left, skipping along the grass just out of Jones’ reach as the winner for a 3-2 Chariton victory.

The Chargers improved to 4-1 for the season, including two wins over Creston, while the Panthers fell to 1-8 heading into the Panther Invitational Saturday.

“That was a great contest,” said Chariton coach Dennis St. Lawrence. “Too bad somebody had to lose.”

Creston coach Kim Lauffer couldn’t have asked for a better start coming off Friday’s thrilling 2-1 overtime win over Oakland Riverside, breaking a two-year, 35-match losing streak.

Hanna Luther curled in a

long shot from the left side from outside the 18-yard line with just 2:38 elapsed in the opening half. Just more than two minutes later, with 35:07 remaining in the half, Jones knocked in a goal in a scramble off a corner kick Jones to make it a 2-0 Panther lead.

With 26:00 left in the first half, Crabb drove one past Creston goalkeeper Becca Ross to make it 2-1. Nobody scored after that until Grismore’s runout with barely three minutes left in the match.

“Those two (Creston) goals were a wakeup call for us,” St. Lawrence said.

“It came down to determination. They really got our counter attack going, that’s what got us the goals. The goal that tied it, our goalkeeper put out a ball and we ran under it and took it. It was a nice one.”

Lauffer said the tone of the match looked to be in Creston’s favor early, much different from the earlier loss at Chariton.

“They beat us 3-0 over there and we didn’t get started until the last 15 minutes of the game,” Lauffer said. “It was 65 minutes of us playing on our heels. Apparently pizza was a big motivator for us tonight. I told them if they Please see PK, page 6A

Panther girls third at Atlantic

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

ATLANTIC — Creston head girls track coach Clay Arnold is encouraged by what he saw here Monday night at the Atlantic Co-ed Track Meet, as his team prepares for the Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet Thursday night at home.

The Panthers finished third in a competitive field in the girls team standings, scoring 68 points to finish behind Glenwood (118) and Harlan (115).

“I was very happy with that,” Arnold said. “That’s the best we’ve done overall, especially against the competition there.”

Junior Natalie Mostek was a part of two different goldmedal performances, running on the winning 4x800 relay team and winning the open 800.

Joining Mostek on the winning 4x800 relay were Maria Mostek, Jami Sickels and Taylor Briley. That quartet ran 10:09.41.

Natalie Mostek won a tight three-person race in the 800 meters, edging out Harlan’s Bailey Kuhl and twin sister Maria, winning with a new personal best time of 2:24.49. Maria finished third in 2:28.96.

“We ran the Mostek squared in the open 800,” Arnold said. “I’ve been on her (Natalie) to get out on her first lap, but she ran a 72.6 and then a 71.8. That 72 first lap is not going to cut it.

She needs to run a 67 or 68 first lap.”

Natalie Mostek also ran on the second place 4x400 relay team along with Raegen Smith, Chelcee Downing and Lexie Little.

That group ran 4:20.03 to finish second behind Harlan, despite leading for much of the race.

“Little had to run against Asia Kloewer, so that’s a pretty tough order,” Arnold

said. “I was pretty disappointed that we didn’t give Little more of a lead. Our second and third legs should have given Little more of a lead. We knew Asia was going to be the fastest person on the track out there.

Hopefully we can fix that for Thursday.”

Maria Mostek came up with Creston’s other runnerup performance, finishing second in the 1,500 meters with her time of 5:13.98.

Freshman Kristy Powers impressed in the 3,000 meters, finishing sixth with a 37-second PR, running Powers 12:54.57.

“This was her first ever individual varsity point,” Arnold said.

“I was really proud of that Kristy Powers. I tell you what, she is a worker. Ran really even splits and fought back to keep taking girls and taking girls to get sixth place.

I’ve been really happy with everything she’s been doing.”

Marie Hood had yet another personal best throw in the shot put, this time improving by 2 feet with her toss of 33-1 for seventh place.

The Panther shuttle hurdle of Little, Leah Schuler, Amber Castillo and Madison Hance finished fifth in a season best time, even with Schuler falling during her leg.

Castillo finished third in the 100 hurdles and Hance placed fifth in the 400 hurdles.

The distance medley relay of Smith, Jessica Beatty, Downing and Little finished fourth in 4:37.35. Jami Sickels finished fifth in the 400 meter dash, running 1:08.10.

PK:

Claytor was caught by Jensen; Chariton’s next shot went wide; Luther blasted a hard one for Creston that struck the top crossbar and bounced off high after being tipped by Jensen; and Chariton missed again.

So, Jones had to make the final Creston attempt to tie the Chargers with a chance to force another PK round.

Her high, booming shot went in the net. Then Crabb slid it past the diving Jones for the winner.

“That last one by them was a nice, wide shot on the ground, which is really hard to get to,” Lauffer said. “I’m not happy that we lost, but I told the girls, the momentum from Friday is why we scored. Now I’m hoping they don’t start settling and playing like they

used to. I want them to bring it and hopefully win the tournament Saturday.”

Chariton won the JV match, 3-1. Vasquez scored for Creston. Bretta Shawler had seven goalkeeper saves and Livi Hartman had five.

Weston, Dennis two-for-three at ACS

By BURTON Heaton

laps to go, passing Myers on the final lap and settling for second. Myers finished third, followed by Andy Davison and Matt McAtee.

Adams Co. Speedway

CORNING — Jerod Weston and Jesse Dennis have shown they are serious about the 2014 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series point chase by visiting victory lane twice in the first two weeks of the season at the Adams County Speedway.

Both drivers finished second in their points chases last year and have demonstrated clearly they don’t want that to happen again.

B-mods While the hobby stocks ran caution free, the Stalker Chevrolet b-mods had no such fortune. A multi-car mishap on lap number two retired four cars to the infield and created a long redflag situation while crews removed damaged cars from the track. When racing resumed it was more yellow flags with no less than seven cautions interrupting the 15lap event.

Nearly 40 minutes after he started it was Red Oak’s Jerod Weston taking home victory number two of the season, followed by Stanton’s Josh Sink, Prescott’s Josh Cooper, Cumberland’s Darrin Hardisty, and Des Moines driver Matt Webb.

Weston’s win gives him a firm lead early in the 2014 point chase.

Hobby stocks Chat Mobility hobby stock driver Luke Ramsey captured his first career feature win in a 15-lap thriller that was never slowed by the caution flag. Ramsey, a 25-year-old from Bedford, started inside of the second row and took the lead on the first lap. Glenwood’s Tom Myers battled door to door with Ramsey and wrestled the lead away from him for three laps mid-race, but Ramsey was able to move back to the front and hang on for the win.

Defending champion Jeremy Purdy joined the race for the lead with about three

Pro stocks Only 10 Northland Oil pro-stocks made the call for their feature event, but what the field lacked in numbers it made up for in talent and

door-banging excitement.

Creston’s Kevin Sharp took his red number 2 to the front on the second lap and was never seriously challenged for the lead.

But the action for second, third, and fourth was furious with Brad Derry, Greg Miller, Tony Hardisty, and Joe Zadina all taking their shots at second and third.

In the end it was Sharp, Derry, Hardisty, Miller, and Jake Christensen in the top five with Zadina slipping to seventh following a last lap visit with the tires occupying the north berm.

Modified When Poet Biorefining modified driver Jeff James lost his front brakes on the second lap of their feature race it took the ditch on the south end of the property to bring his car to a halt. After a quick wrecker-assisted removal from the ditch James was able to drive back to the pits, but his race ended early.

Up front it was the Jesse Dennis show as he charged from starting ninth to take the lead away from defending champion Brian Foote on lap number 10. Dennis used the very top of the

race track as his preferred groove and nearly lost it all on the white flag lap as he went just a few inches too high into turn number one.

Saving himself from disaster he held on to lead youngster Cole Ferguson, a 16-year-old from Dexter, to the checkers. Ryan Peckham followed in third with Todd Van Eaton and Keven Parman rounding out the top five.

Late models The evening’s final race saw 14 Coors Light late models take on a very fast track for a 25-five lap battle. Eight-time track champion Chris Spieker was on a rocket ship as he charged from eighth to the lead in just three laps and eventually opened a comfortable lead. A late race caution bunched the field and gave Omaha’s Justin Zeitner, recently returned from a shoulder injury sustained at I-80 Speedway, a shot at the lead, but Spieker held on ACS photo by LINDA FREEMAN to win by nearly a full sec- Kevin Sharp of Creston, Northland Oil Pro Stock winner ond at the checkers.

Assi Dayan, Israeli filmmaker and actor, dies at 68 JERUSALEM — Assi Dayan, a celebrated Israeli filmmaker, actor and cultural icon, died in Tel Aviv on Thursday, his family said.

He was 68.

The same year that his father, legendary military leader Moshe Dayan, led Israeli forces to swift triumph in the 1967 Six-Day War, Dayan began his career in film. He played Uri, the embodiment of the new emerging sabra, or Jewish people born in Israel, in the film based on Moshe Shamir’s novel “He Walked Through the Fields.”

Dayan directed 16 films and starred in dozens more.

Many of his works became classics of Israeli film and culture, such as the 1976 cult movie “Givat Halfon Doesn’t Answer,” a spoof on Israeli army reservists in

Lost & Found

a forsaken post in the Sinai Desert — a far cry from the stoic, heroic image of Uri. Other movies offered insight into pockets of Israeli society with a painful candor and nihilistic touch, such as “Life According to Agfa,” another seminal work of Israeli film. Increasingly, his work depicted various political and social fault lines in the country’s mainstream narrative.

Dayan’s television roles included a psychologist in “B’Tipul,” the Israeli series on which HBO’s “In Treatment” was based.

In Israeli terms, the Dayans held near-aristocratic status, with several members of the extended family holding key positions in government and the military over the years.

Bathroom rugs take a ride Dear Heloise: I have an idea that came from one of your readers’ hints. Your reader used cheap, rubberbacked bathroom rugs as FLOOR MATS in her car. I had been researching some sort of removable car-seat covers for my SUV because my dog is with me daily, as are my children and their multiple friends. The covers that I found are not easily removed, and nobody wants to sit where the dirty dog has been lounging.

When I saw that hint, I figured that I’d give them a try on top of the seats. This has worked perfectly. As you know, dogs aren’t at all dainty when they enter a vehicle.

These bath rugs stay in place beautifully, are punctureresistant, comfortable for the dog and easily removed and placed on the floor when children are in the vehicle. Best part? You can pop them in the washing machine at any time!

To make the rubber backing last longer, I air-dry them. — Genny F. in Virginia MULTITASKING Dear Readers: Here’s a hint for when you are getting ready for the day: After putting on your makeup, take a moment to clean one or two items in your makeup drawer or bath-

Hints from Heloise room cabinet.

I use a microfiber cloth, dampened with a little water, to wipe off eye shadow, foundation or other items from the drawer. Cleaning a few things as you use them means you don’t have such a big cleanup session to do later on. — Heloise P.S.: Take this time to check expiration dates on your makeup, and determine which items are running out or need to be replaced on your next trip to the store.

CUP HOLDER Dear Heloise: I recently purchased one of those coffee makers that use the little plastic cups. Today I went in search of something I could put on my counter to hold these cups.

After seeing how big and expensive the holders that are specifically designed for this purpose are, I went in search of something simpler and not too expensive. I found what I needed in the bath section: a small, 6-by-8-inch wire mesh

basket. It holds nine plastic cups and fits nicely on my counter near the coffee maker. It’s smaller and saved me a lot of money. — Alma D. in Nebraska HANDY HINT Dear Heloise: I enjoy the mints that come in small metal containers. I keep the empty containers and use them to store small jewelry pieces, like earrings and rings. I even have lined a couple with anti-tarnish cloths to not only protect my jewelry from tarnishing, but also from possible damage while I travel with certain pieces. — Sharon W. in California PESKY PINS Dear Readers: Pins are easier to lose than to find when sewing. Glue a magnet to the back of a small dish or catchall BEETLE BAILEY® by Greg & Mort Walker to hold the pins. It’s prettier than a pincushion, and easy to drop pins into! — Heloise Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.
