CORNING — Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds visited Southwest Valley High School and held a southwest Iowa region STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) town hall meeting Tuesday in Corning to discuss advances STEM has made in education and career opportunities.

Branstad and Reynolds spoke about the STEM advisory council established in 2011, and how the council has worked to allocate funding to school districts across Iowa to ■ Iowa allow teachers to offer Gov. Terry exploratory learning in- Branstad visitvolving hands-on projed Southwest ects.

“Every single school Valley High district is participating School one way or another,” Reynolds said. “The Tuesday for best part of all is the a town hall kids demonstrating the meeting programs. And, watch to discuss how excited and engaged they are, and how advances in they’re learning and STEM. communicating together.”

Reynolds also said STEM began with 40,000 students using the different available programs, but that number has increased to more than 100,000 students in Iowa.

“STEM job creation is expected to outpace non-STEM jobs significantly in the coming years, actually growing 17 percent versus 9.8 percent for non-STEM jobs, and STEM workers earn a higher salary, 26 percent higher,” Reynolds said.

Branstad and Reynolds were joined by Chris Russell, Google data center operations manager in Council Bluffs, who represented the business facet of STEM programs in Iowa.

During the meeting, students from Enarson and Corning elementary schools, Southwest Valley Middle School and Southwest Valley High School presented projects made possible using STEM funds.

Projects included ones focused on weather, ecosystems, motion and robotics.

“The Hallelujah Girls”

by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten presented by Crest Area Theater at Southwestern Community College Performing Arts Center Friday through Sunday, tells the story of five friends who try help one another find happiness, while struggling to find their own.

“Basically, it’s a story about a group of women who have palled around and one has decided to start a new life with a new business,” said Cathy Whited, who plays Sugar Lee, the story’s main character.

The setting is small-town

As things start to look up for Sugar Lee Thomkins, right, Bunny Sutherland (Julie Weisshaar) pouts when things don’t go her way.

Georgia, where Sugar Lee (Cathy Whited) has decided to fulfill her dream and opens a day spa inside a dilapidated former church.

By following her dream,

Sugar Lee hopes to inspire her friends Carlene Travis (Jean Sheridan), Mavis Flowers (Judy Gile), Nita Mooney (Laural Griswold) and Crystal Hart (Linda

Huffman) to “live life to the fullest.”

The former church almost feels like an appropriate location for Sugar Lee’s new day spa, a place where friends gather to listen, learn and heal, except, with a dose of laughter.

However, the story wouldn’t be complete without the struggling relationship between Sugar Lee and Bunny Sutherland (Julie “Jewels” Weisshaar), who is trying to thwart Sugar Lee’s efforts for her own gain.

“There’s also a romance that may or may not be rekindled,” Whited said.

Porter Padgett (Wes Ray), a grown mama’s boy, tries to woo Carlene, the town’s “black widow,” who has buried three husbands.

However, Whited is referring to the presence of Bobby Dwayne Dillhunt (Rod Tostenson), Sugar Lee’s former high school sweetheart and ex-fiance who Bunny hires to help with renovations on the property Please see GIRLS, Page 2

and agitate Sugar Lee. Watching “The Hallelujah Girls” is reminiscent of “Steel Magnolias” without the sadness. It’s a comedy some compare to “Golden Girls” for it’s witty one-liners and amusing introspection that longtime friends understand.

a delightful little play.”

“The Hallelujah Girls” opens 7 p.m. Friday at Southwestern Community College Performing Arts Center, 1201 W. Townline St. Additional shows are 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $8 at the door.

Traffic camera data now in Iowa DOT’s hands (MCT) — With the annual report on automatic traffic enforcement cameras submitted to the Iowa Department of Transportation, Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman said the cameras continue to be a value public safety tool in the city.

“I think the facts and figures are what they are,” Jerman said Monday. “What’s most telling is the collisions that result in injury remain below previous years.”

May 1 was the deadline for cities and counties that use ATE cameras to submit their annual reports to the DOT. Cedar Rapids has used speed and red light cameras in the city since 2010. What makes this year different is the implementation of rules which require cities and counties to justify the implementation, placement and use of the cameras.

Cedar Rapids uses 29 cameras throughout the city, 14 of which are speed cameras on the Interstate 380 Scurve.

According to the data, there were 33 crashes on the interstate in 2013, up from 26 in 2012, but down from 47 in 2009 and 35 in 2008.

Of those 33 crashes in 2013, 22 were property damage only.

In 2012 and 2013, there were no fatal

Public safety In 2013, there were zero fatal collisions in Cedar Rapids in the areas governed by traffic cameras. crashes on the interstate.

Elsewhere in the city, there were three crashes at the intersection of Williams Boulevard and 16th Avenue SW, down from four in 2008 and 10 in 2009. There were five crashes in 2013 at First Avenue and 10th Street SE, up from four in 2008 and down from seven in 2009.

“In 2013, there were zero fatal collisions in the city,” in the areas governed by traffic cameras, Jerman said.

Steve Gent, director of traffic and safety for the Iowa DOT, said a national study in 2012 found that automated traffic enforcement cameras need to be monitored by an independent agency to evaluate the program’s performance.

Among the rules that went into effect in February was there automatic traffic enforcement measures should only be implemented when other measures have been considered. The measures are not

meant to be used as the long-term solution to speeding or red-light running, Gent said.

Jerman said the cameras are the safest option for speed enforcement on the interstate, which lacks a safe place for officers to monitor traffic or make traffic stops. He added he “absolutely” believes the cameras should be a permanent fixture in the city.

Gent said the plan is for the DOT to review the cities’ and counties’ reports over the next month. But he acknowledges they are heading into new territory with the justification rules.

“This is the first year we’re doing this, so we’ve got a bit to learn,” he said.

“We’re not rushing into anything. We’re going to sit down and talk to the cities.”

Jerman said 1.2 million vehicles pass through the areas governed by traffic cameras in the city each month. Less than 1 percent of those drivers are cited for speeding or traffic violations.

Sioux City, another Iowa city that uses speed cameras, has filed a lawsuit in an attempt to block the DOT’s new rules.

OPINION

The causalties of a long weekend roadtrip to the lone star state This weekend I took my first vacation from the newspaper and traveled back to Tyler, Texas, with my girlfiend Pam to visit my college professors, coworkers, teammates and friends before graduation.

We left late Thursday night and made our first pit stop just south of Kansas City. I set the alarm for the early morning so we could get a jump on the eight-hour drive ahead.

In my rush to get on the road, I left Pam’s pillow behind, making it the first casualty of our weekend trip. I also spilled my coffee on the way to the gas station, but it was much easier to replace on the go.

We also forgot to charge Pam’s iPod the night before, so our tunes

Miles of trials Jake Waddingham associate editor

were limited to channel scanning the whole way south. After hearing Luke Bryan’s new single “Play it Again” about a dozen times, Pam turned off the radio in frustration.

My attempt to slowly convert her to a country music listener became the second casualty of the trip.

Tyler, Texas, is known as the rose capitol of the world and this time of year the thousands of rose

bushes are exploding with color.

We toured the Tyler Rose Garden and enjoyed the North Carolina Tarheel blue sky and perfect late spring temperature.

Saturday morning I forced myself out of bed to go on a long run with some of my former teammates and coaches Bob Hepler and RJ Cowan. We ran the same route I did almost every weekend of my college running career.

The only difference was my endurance level is well below par compared to a couple years ago, so the 13-mile jog made my legs the third casualty of the trip.

Luckily, my friends and I made a stop by the pool to help relieve my aching muscles.

Saturday went by in a blur. I did

get to grab food at some of my favorite restaurants in town and my friends made sure I was constantly supplied with the sweetest sweet tea in town from McAlister’s.

By Sunday I was exhausted, but up again early to talk newspapers with my adviser at the Patriot Talon, Kevin Dilley. The year I went back to work for the student publication revitalized my passion for journalism.

He gave me lots of insight to these first couple years of my career and listened as I vented about life over omelets and coffee.

I had to get Pam back for school on Monday morning so she could direct her concert band, so we loaded up the car after breakfast and hit the road.

We set our course back to our first motel in hopes of getting Pam’s pillow back, but our navigation device had other plans. We took the scenic roads of Arkansas — which were very beautiful — but not ideal for trying to hurry home.

The navigation device was replaced by our iPhones and it went back into the glove box, making it the final casualty of our trip.

We finally made it home after midnight, Pam’s pillow in hand and a weekend of new memories with old friends in mind.

I hope they all know how much I appreciate them staying in touch and can’t wait to see them and the lone star state again soon, although I’ll probably fly next time.

Letter to the editor

Vote on library, fix streets From Melvin Scadden Creston

I totally agree with Mr. Hicks about leaving the library at the present location. If Brian Zachary and the Arts Council wants a building, sell them the Lincoln School for one dollar, and then they can do what they want with it.

The Library Board spent about $80,000 over the last four years to a fundraising firm, with no success.

Now they have hired another firm to raise money, at the cost of about $2,500 to $5,000 a month. I don’t think five people on the Library Board should be the only ones to make the decision for a move like this.

The Union County Supervisors budget money to the Creston Library so all citizens of Union County should have some say on this matter.

Call the Creston City Council

representatives and give them your opinion of this move. I would think they would vote for the wishes of the citizens, or put it on the ballot this fall and find out how everyone feels about the move to Lincoln School. Gibson Memorial Library is such a nice building, and located in a centralized part of town.

Also, on the matter of the Cottonwood project, why not sell the Cottonwood land to a developer and let them put the streets and utilities in at their expense. Instead of the taxpayers of Creston paying the bill.

Our city leaders need to stay out of the real estate dealings and concentrate on paying off the debt they have, and work on the street and sewer systems. Our streets are in such bad condition, it is going to take more than driving around patching bad places to get them fixed.

We like to hear from you!

George H.W. Bush was given this year’s Profiles in Courage Award HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Cleveland Indians were lobbied by American tribal groups to drop Chief Wahoo from the team logo Monday. It’s gathering momentum. Last year the Atlanta Braves dropped the Laughing Indian from their logos and replaced it with an Asian kid getting accepted to Harvard.

Harvard scientists used mice to discover a dramatic breakthrough in efforts to battle the aging process Monday. They discovered that the blood of young mice reverses the effects of aging when it’s injected into older mice. And you thought Millennials hated Baby Boomers before.

George H.W. Bush was given this year’s Profiles in Courage Award by the John F. Kennedy Foundation on Monday. He got the award for having the courage to break his pledge not to raise taxes. Finishing second was George W. Bush for having the courage to sign his paintings.

Kiefer Sutherland returned as counter-terrorist agent Jack Bauer when Twenty-Four returned to Fox Monday night. Liberals just hate this show. Jack Bauer once lost his car keys, so he spent the next ten hours torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

Cinco de Mayo was celebrated Monday, marking a Mexican Army victory over the French Army in Mexico one hundred fifty years ago. This is why there are no battle re-enactors in France.

Frontier Airlines angered passengers Friday by announcing they’ll start charging extra for carry-on luggage and reserved seats.

They’ll try to make up for it. If you want more leg room and fresher air, for an extra sixty dollars they will upgrade you from first class to the wheel well.

Florida State’s Heisman Trophy quarterback James Winston was cited for stealing crab legs from a Florida grocery store Friday. He’s already under probe in a sexual assault. If he’s convicted on both charges, he could get ten to fifteen years in the National Football League.

Prince William and Prince Harry flew to Memphis for the wedding of their London friend promoter Guy Perry to Holiday Inn heiress Elizabeth Wilson. Her family put them up in one of their hotels.

Harry saw the Holiday Inn-issued soap and thought he was back in Afghanistan.

L.A. Clippers star J.J. Redick revealed the twenty-six million dollar contract he signed last fall was almost voided by Donald Sterling.

The owner said he didn’t think a white player is worth that much money. Within hours the KKK withdrew the image award it just voted Sterling.

Donald Sterling backed out of an ABC interview with Barbara Walters Friday. He’s been sued in the past for racial housing discrimination and now he’s banned from the NBA for making racist comments.

The last place Donald Sterling ever expected to be was on a black list.

The Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada Friday banned L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling from ever setting foot on its property. It didn’t work. Sterling went there anyway and when he asked a hooker for a happy ending, she read him the Emancipation Proclamation.

Farmers Cooperative breaks ground on renewable fuels retail location MT AYR — The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) attended Farmers Cooperative’s groundbreaking ceremony at the future site of its new Mount Ayr renewable fuels retail location that will offer higher blends of ethanol and biodiesel to southwest Iowa motorists. The fueling site will offer ethanol blends E10, E15 as a registered fuel, E30 and E85, as well as biodiesel blends B10, B20 and B99 for jobbers and special use customers.

“The price of (E10) in Iowa is 17-30 cents below gasoline, so the savings is even greater with higher ethanol blends,” Iowa Governor Terry Branstad told the audience at the groundbreaking ceremony. “I’ve told the EPA, if E15 is offered to give consumers a choice, they will choose cheaper renewable fuels.”

“For this project, we have a great partnership with (Iowa State University) who will be conducting a study to find out why mo-

torists choose the fuels they do,” Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said.

“This is a great opportunity to convince others to make the same type of investment.”

Farmers Cooperative was selected to receive $125,000 in funding for the new site from Iowa Governor Terry Branstad’s “Fueling Our Future” program, administered by the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Iowa Department of Agricul-

National Hospital Week puts spotlight on people GREENFIELD — A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal, it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope. From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community.

That’s the message organizers are touting with the 2014 National Hospital Week theme, “Compassion, Innovation, Dedication: The Commitment Continues.”

The event theme is the centerpiece of a promotional campaign aimed at uniting health care facilities across the nation.

National Hospital Week is celebrated May 11-17.

“National Hospital Week, first and foremost, is a celebration of people,” Angela Mortoza, CEO of Adair County Health System said.

“We’re extremely proud of each member of our staff and we recognize the important role they play in extending a sense of trust to our patients and communities.”

The nation’s largest health care event, National Hospital Week dates back to 1921 when it was suggested by a magazine editor who hoped a communitywide celebration would alleviate public fears about hospitals. The celebration, launched in Chicago, succeeded in promoting trust and goodwill among members of the pub-

lic and eventually spread to facilities across the country.

A full slate of activities is planned for 2014 at Adair County Health System. The staff will be having snacks all week. On May 16, there will be a ‘50s dress day to honor when Adair County Memorial Hospital opened its doors in 1950.

On May 15, Adair County Health System invites the community to join them for a customer appreciation lunch 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Adair County Memorial Hospital.

“We want thank the community as a whole for the support and encouragement they have given our organization and staff,” said Mortoza.

Office Depot to close 400 stores Office Depot Inc. said Tuesday it plans to close 400 U.S. stores, or more than 20 percent of the 1,900 Office Depot and OfficeMax stores. Of the total, 150 stores are slated to close in late 2014, the company said.

Boca Raton, Fla.-based Office Depot completed its $1.2 billion merger with OfficeMax last year. The office-supply store closures relate to overlapping Office Depot and OfficeMax retail stores in some locations.

Chief Executive Roland Smith said the store closures will generate estimated annual savings of $75 million by the

end of 2016.

“We are delivering merger integration synergies more quickly than anticipated,” said Smith in a news release. Smith said he now expects cost savings from the merger to exceed $675 million, including the store consolidation.

Specific stores have not been identified for closure, but Smith said in a conference call Tuesday that the retailer is looking at factors including store profitability and how well sales are likely to transfer to a nearby store.

Stores closures in 2014 would be late in the year, after

the back-to-school sales season, he said.

Office Depot also said it lost $109 million, or 21 cents a share, in its first quarter ended March 29 compared with a loss of $17 million or 6 cents a share in the same quarter in 2013. The retailer said its operating loss was $79 million for the January-March quarter.

The first quarter included special charges totaling $151 million from merger-related expenses, IT-related impairment charges, store impairment charges, international restructuring and other operating expenses.

ture and Land Stewardship (IDALS). In addition, Farmers Cooperative will receive $100,000 in funding from the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program. Construction will begin later this year.

“We congratulate Farmers Cooperative Company on this great event to celebrate the groundbreaking on a true renewable fuels retail location that will provide consumers with greater access to clean, locally-produced ethanol and biodies-

currently under construction. In addition, Iowa has 12 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce nearly 315 million gallons annually.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association was formed in 2002 to represent the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry. The trade group fosters the development and growth of the renewable fuels industry in Iowa through education, promotion, legislation and infrastructure development.

Adair County 4-H deadlines nearing GREENFIELD — The deadline for identifying all 4-H and FFA livestock projects for the Adair County Fair and other 4-H shows is May 15. All members with breeding heifers, cow-calf pairs, feeder calves, bucket/bottle calves, dogs, horses, dairy, dairy goats, meat goat does or breeding sheep must complete an official identification form and submit it to Adair County Extension by

May 15. No late forms can be accepted.

Market lamb and meat goat identification forms will be completed during lamb weigh-in scheduled for 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Adair County Fairgrounds in Greenfield.

Youths planning to exhibit lambs or meat goats in the 4-H department at the Iowa State Fair will have retinal images taken on the animals at the tagging.

May 15 is also the deadline for youths to sign up for 4-H and still be eligible to exhibit at the Adair County Fair. The 4-H program is open to all youths in grades four through 12. Youths can select to join one of the 11 clubs or become an independent member.

May 15 to accept enrollment forms and animal identification sheets.

However, the Parmesan cheese in the shaker-type container, no matter how long it is kept, seems never to develop mold. Does it ever develop mold and it just can’t be seen, or does it simply not mold? How long should one keep this cheese for safe consumption? This would seem to be an important question for us all. — Ray M., via email Well, Ray, here’s what I found, after calling the manufacturer. The cheese will show mold eventually, even if kept under the best refrigerated conditions. So, make sure to consume the cheese prior to or within three months after the “Best When Purchased By” date that is stamped on the bottom of the container.

— Heloise P.S.: I write the date that I open the container on the bottom in black marker. This way, I know when several months have passed and I need to purchase new cheese.

Hints from Heloise 5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise. com SHOPPING HINT Dear Heloise: I save my grocery-store receipt until the next time I go shopping. I use a magnet to stick it on the side of my refrigerator. This is handy, because I can look at the receipt to see what foods I bought as a reminder that I need to use things before they go bad. Also, if I come across a bad product, I have the receipt, so I can take it back and get a refund. — Linda C. in Washington DRYING SPONGES Dear Heloise: I’ve tried the various “sponge dishes,” etc., that are commercially available and have yet to find one that doesn’t collect soap scum or leave my sponge smelling of mildew.

To solve the dilemma, I cut vertically into the open end of a plastic, net vegetable bag (potatoes and Brussels

I tie the net bag around the neck of the soap dispenser so that it hangs into the sink without touching it. I slip my sponge into the open slit of the bag, and it hangs in the sink.

The sponge dries quickly after each use. — Margaret B., via email BATTER UP Dear Heloise: When I am making cupcakes or muffins, I use a measuring cup to put the batter in the cupcake/ muffin tin.

National Digest

Durant MVP OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant won his first MVP trophy, the league announced Tuesday.

Durant led the league in scoring with 32 points, had 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game this season and has his team in the second round against the Los Angeles Clippers. Durant received 119 first-place votes and was followed by four-time MVP LeBron James, with six firstplace votes.

James averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 6.3 assists this season as he and the Heat took a 1-0 lead over the Nets in the second round of the NBA playoffs Tuesday night.

Blake Griffin, Joakim Noah, and James Harden rounded out the topfive in voting.

Jackson fired OAKLAND, Calif. — The Golden State Warriors fired head coach Mark Jackson on Tuesday.

Jackson led the team to a 51-31 record this year before they were eliminated in the first round in seven games by the Los Angeles Clippers.

“It’s never easy to make a decision of this nature,” said General Manager Bob Myers.

“Mark has accomplished many good things during his three years with the organization, including his role in helping elevate this team into a better position than it was when he arrived nearly 36 months ago. We’re appreciative of his dedication and commitment.

However, as an organization, we simply feel it’s best to move in a different direction at this time.”

Jackson went 121-109 in three seasons with Golden State.

Tourney moves ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Big Ten Conference will hold its Men’s Basketball Tournament at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. in 2017.

The announcement came Tuesday from the conference bringing the tournament, in its 20th year, to the east coast for the first time.

The tournament will begin on Wednesday, March 8 and run through Sunday, March 12, featuring all 14 teams. The Big Ten Tournament has been held in Chicago or Indianapolis through its first 17 years and returns to Chicago in 2015 and Indianapolis in 2016.

The Verizon Center is home to the NBA’s Washington Wizards, the NHL’s Washington Capitals and the WNBA’s Washington Mystics, and including concerts and family events hosts an average of 220 events per year.

Maryland and Rutgers officially join the Big Ten on July 1.

Both Creston/O-M tennis teams were victorious by 9-0 scores over Chariton Tuesday.

The Panther boys notched their first victory of the 2014 season in six meets, while the girls improved to 5-2.

Our night went much better than last night,” said Creston assistant coach Amanda Plymale, who coached the girls at the SWCC courts here. “With our aggressive play we were able to end the games quickly. We face Southwest Valley on Friday.”

Coach Kevin Cooper, meanwhile, was pleased with the Panther boys’ performance at Chariton.

“Tonight was a good night for our team getting the 9-0 win,” Cooper said. “It is nice to get our first team win of the year. Hopefully we can get another one Friday night when we play Southwest Valley.”

The boys action is at SWCC Friday, while the girls travel to Corning.

Alliant Energy Trees Forever program sees 29th grant planted in community since 1992 During the week of April 21, the Southwestern Community College Agriculture Department and Creston FFA Chapter students planted 30 evergreens and 25 deciduous trees valued at $9,985 on the Creston high school, elementary and middle school campuses, Southern Prairie YMCA, Southwestern Community College campuses and McKinley and Taylor Park. The trees were secured through Alliant Energy’s Trees Forever Program.

The Trees Forever program encourages community tree plantings for energy efficiency and environmental awareness throughout Iowa. Alliant Energy provides funding to organizations that can match the grant through in-kind services, labor or monetary means. Trees Forever administers the program and provides technical and onsite assistance. Community volunteers plan and choose sites, select species, order trees and enlist community volunteers. Since the start of Alliant’s Trees Forever program in 1989, more than 1.4 million trees have been planted in communities across Iowa.

Tree planting efforts since 1992 have seen the Creston FFA membership and Southwestern Community College agriculture students (since 2010) plant 2,937 deciduous trees, 686 evergreen trees and 786 shrubs valued at $544,725 in 106 landscaping projects. The local FFA chapter has also provided the community 106,700 evergreen and deciduous seedlings to establish windbreaks and wildlife habitats.

“The Trees Forever grants have directly resulted

in the planting of 1,724 deciduous and 658 evergreen trees worth $216,157 since 1992,” said Galen Zumbach, who was the Creston FFA Advisor from 1977-2010 and currently is an instructor at SWCC. This fall’s planting was one of 28 grants, since 1992, the Creston FFA Chapter has been awarded through Alliant Energy’s Trees Forever program.

During the past school year, Zumbach prepared and secured two grants worth $19,985 through Alliant Energy’s Trees Forever program. The two grants saw 58 evergreens and 72 deciduous trees planted in seven planting projects.

An Alliant Energy “Trees Contributed photo Forever” grant was recently Freshmen Matt Hoffman, Tom Steinbach, Tim Kralik and Trevor Marlin are shown preparing to set a White Oak at submitted by Zumbach, and the Southern Prairie YMCA. The local FFA chapter assisted in the planting of a $9,985 “Trees Forever” grant received if approved, will see trees through Alliant Energy. valued at $10,000 planted at Graceland Cemetery, on the Creston High School/ Middle School Campuses, Southern Prairie YMCA, and Southwestern Community campuses in the fall.

Trees Forever will notify the successful grant applicants this coming August.

“The impact our tree planting projects has on our community might not be so obvious today but future generations will come to appreciate the beauty they add to our community,” said Creston FFA Chapter Advisor Kelsey Bailey.

Current Chapter President Lane Miller added, “Getting out in the community to plant trees is a great opportunity to build environmental diversity and adding to the natural beauty of our town, not to forget the hands on learning that takes place when planting the trees.”

May is Beef Month SWCC student uses education to improve family operation

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

As the third generation of his family to take an interest in their livestock production program near Jefferson, Ben Ostendorf already had a solid grasp on how to raise quality livestock.

He showed cattle at the county fair, selling the market steers and keeping the breeding heifers to start his own herd with his g r a n d p a , Ostendorf uncles and parents Terry and Diane Ostendorf.

“My parents were both in 4-H growing up and my dad showed,” Ostendorf said. “Family is really what got me started in the beef industry.”

Ostendorf, 20, has two cows that he has bred back as part of his family’s livestock operation. Together, the Ostendorfs breed back about 40 cows each year.

Their livestock production operation focuses on cross breeding to bring out better characteristics and improve the cattle’s average rate of gain.

“My uncles really commit to looking through the magazines to find the best bull to AI (artificially inseminate) our cattle with,”

The Weisshaar Family Farm is a fourthgeneration farm in Creston, started more than 100 years ago by Anselm Weisshaar, who migrated to the United States in the late 1800s.

Today, the cattle and crop operation

located north of Highway 25 in Creston are maintained and managed by siblings Jean and Alan Weisshaar, children of Joseph and Mary Jane Weisshaar of Creston.

Together, Alan and Jean care for 150 to 200 head of Limousin cattle and farm more than 200 acres of corn, soy beans and hay. By caring for the cattle born and raised on their farm, the Weisshaars feel confident in the quality of their beef, Please see NATURAL, Page 2

Ben Ostendorf came to Southwestern Community College to study livestock production to help his family’s cattle operation. Ostendorf farms with his grandpa, uncles and parents.

Ostendorf said. “Whatever doesn’t stick with the AI, we use our cleanup bull to finish.”

Ostendorf said their favorite breeds to cross are Angus and Maine Anjou.

They have also tried Angus and Simmental.

“We are just finishing up with calving and administering their shots,” Ostendorf said. “Here in about a month, we will start with green tags for general

Right, Joe Weisshaar, 81, poses in stalks of corn on his acreage north of Townline Street. Weisshaar, a third-generation farmer, started feeding cattle when he was 5 years old with his father Hans Weisshaar.

Farm’s USDA certified beef is custom processed at Amend Packing Company in Des Moines, where is is dry aged for three weeks.

“That’s kind of my niche,” said Jean. “Natural beef that is dry aged.”

Jean said the beef she takes for custom processing is choice beef — offering customers a more tender and flavorful cut.

Once processed, the Weisshaars sell their beef directly to consumers, who may want a quarter, half or whole beef, and distribute through the Iowa Food Co-op and National Farmers Organization (NFO) in Omaha, Neb.

Back to basics Over the years, the Weisshaars have recognized the value of eating naturally grown food and buying local products and pride themselves knowing that every cut of their beef can be traced back to the farm where it was raised.

“Whatever it is you are interested in, there is someone in the area who does that,” said Jean. “It (producing natural beef) is just something we have chosen to do.”

identification and another round of shots.”

They will also start discussing which cows to keep back for the next year. Ostendorf said they will keep cows to breed back anywhere from three to eight years.

Education investment This past fall semester, Ostendorf decided to transfer to Southwestern Community College to run cross country and started to study livestock production.

“I have really focused on the little things that I found out just being off a little bit can make a big difference in your profit margin,” Ostendorf said.

One of those topics Ostendorf has enjoyed learning about most is nutrition.

He said the class breaks down what is best for the herd at different times of the year to promote better health and proper rate of gain.

The class also covered the best feeding schedules and what type of feed provides the best nutrients.

“We spent a lot of time discussing the right type of hay, breaking down the different protein percentages,” Ostendorf said.

Ostendorf said he plans to use his education from SWCC to help improve his family’s livestock production operation and help him build his own herd.

“I plan to continue herding with my family and eventually having my own herd or take over the family operation,” Ostendorf said.

Summer Policy Conference will feature animal handling, Carcass Challenge awards AMES — The Summer Policy Conference will be held in Ames, June 5-6, 2014.

Activities at the event will be held at the new Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center that opened in January.

On Thursday, June 5, the focus will squarely be on cattle. An animal handling demonstration and discussion will kick-off the meeting at 1 p.m.

At 5 p.m., the ICA Steer Carcass Challenge reception and awards banquet will begin.

There are 68 steers in the Carcass Challenge, and the winners of several different awards will be announced that night. This is the third year of the contest, and this year’s contest features an expansion of awards.

Carcass Merit awards will also be given. These will rank the steers on grid price per pound, with discount allowances for small ribeye areas, low average daily gain, and excessive trimming.

On Friday, June 6, the day will be filled educational sessions and policy development discussions. ICA’s policy development is a grassroots effort that begins with the Summer Policy Conference.

There, ideas will be vetted and discussed before they are offered to members at the December ICA annual meeting.

“Your attendance at the Summer Policy Conference is important for full member engagement on policy discussions and development,” said Justine Stevenson, ICA Director of Government Relations and Public Policy. “I encourage ICA members to attend this event if they are interested in policy issues that impact Iowa cattle producers.

ICA has reserved blocks of rooms for June 5 at the Best Western Hotel and the Gateway Hotel, both in Ames.

ture production.

“Managed livestock production is a crucial component to rebuilding highly erodible land that has been mismanaged,” Dave Nichols said.

In the 1960s and ‘70s, Dave and his brother Lee outlined a plan to include livestock production which would hold soil in place and reclaim the land’s productivity.

“It took at least three to 10 years of both commercial fertilizer and manure applications to get the land to be marginally productive,” Dave said.

Between owned and rented farmland, Nichols Farms has 1,480 acres that has been in no-till for 34 years.

There have also been 35 ponds and 50,860 feet of terraces built. There is also more than 2,700 acres of refurbished pastures.

Eventually, on the reclaimed land they could run a cow-calf pair on about half the acres needed by adjoining property that was not renovated or conserved.

It won’t be known until August whether Nichols Farms was selected as the ESAP Region 3 winner. If it is selected, it will compete for the national ESAP title with six other regional winners.

The national winner will be announced during the Cattle Industry Annual Convention and Trade Show in San Antonio, Texas, in February 2015.

AMES — Nichols Farms LTD of Bridgewater is Iowa Cattlemen’s Association’s nomination for the national Environmental Stewardship Award Program (ESAP).

This family farm operation is managed by Dave Nichols, Phyllis Nichols and Lillian Nichols, and covers Adair, Adams and Cass counties.

As Iowa’s ESAP representative, Nichols Farms has been nominated for recognition at the regional level, which includes four other states. If it is successful in the regional competition, Nichols Farms will move on to the national level.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association initiated the environmental award program in 1991 to highlight exceptional work done by cattle producers to protect and enhance the environment. Since its inception, Iowa cattle producers have won 15 regional awards and three national ones.

Nichols Farms is known internationally for its innovative techniques in using genetic and production data from cattle to produce beef more efficiently. However, the farm operation has always been conservation minded since Dave Nichols’ parents purchased land in Adair County in the late 1930s.

The family purchased farmland that had been highly eroded, and in some cases abandoned, and began the process of nursing it back to health. Dave Nichols said the philosophy used by the family is simple: “It needs to be better when you are done.”

The area where the Nichols both own and rent land is known as the Hungry Canyons area, which is identified with deep cut gullies and stream trenching. More than 70 percent of the farmland managed by the Nichols (some owned, some rented) has been designated as highly erodible.

Typical for the area, row crops are grown on 64 percent of the land, with 29 percent in grassland and pasture production. Nichols Farms has 46 percent of the farmland in row crops, and 54 percent in grassland and pas-
