back to school: part ii

Lenox man makes full Southwestern circle Editor’s note: This is the second in a three-part series on adults who have furthered their education as nontraditional students at Southwestern Community College.

LENOX — Tom Borland made a full circle in his life.

Borland, of Lenox, attended Southwestern Community College twice, between 18 years of work and a massive factory closing at Uarco in Corning where he worked before becoming an instructor at the college seven years ago.

“The day it (Uarco) shut down, we were like, ‘This is the end of our career. What’s our next step in life?’ It was very devastating,” Borland said. “Actually, it was probably the best thing that ever happened to me, otherwise I’d probably still be there.”

to a lot of these people here that get displaced,” Borland said. “Iowa Workforce, their job acts that they have, came and helped everybody that wanted to come back to school. So, in 2000, I came back to finish that two-year degree up that I started back in 1982.”

Devastation After graduating from Lenox High School in 1981, Borland began his first stint at SWCC, pursuing a business administration degree.

“I went for a year, and the job was more enticing than going to school was at that time,” Borland said. “I mean, I was doing fine. I was getting good grades and all that good stuff. It’s just, when $3.35 was minimum wage, and $5 an hour was dangled in front of me.”

Borland’s plan was to work at Uarco for 18 months, earn money and go back to college. However, he remained on at the press factory for 18 years.

“Eighteen years later, they shut the factory down,” Borland said. “We got bought out by a company called Standard Register.”

The day Uarco employees were told the factory would close, according to Borland, 80 percent of the employees were gone.

“So, I can kind of relate

College Borland earned an associate’s degree from SWCC in 2002 in programming, as well as his business administration degree.

“Graduated here on a Friday, and the following Monday I started at Michael Foods in Lenox,” Borland said. “They were gracious enough to give me a job on day shift supervisor. And, I worked there for 18 months and, while that 18 months was going on, I was also going to school to Graceland.”

At the time, SWCC and Graceland University in Lamoni had an agreement, so Borland attended college classes several times a week while working at Michael Foods. After 18 months of night classes, Borland earned a bachelor’s degree in infor-

mation technology, with a minor in business administration.

From there, Borland quit Michael Foods and continued his education at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Mo., earning a master’s degree in 2006.

“In 2005, I started working at Nodaway Valley High School (in Greenfield) because I got my teaching degree at that particular time at Northwest,” Borland said.

“I taught at Nodaway Valley for a year and a-half, and started here (at SWCC) the second year of Nodaway Valley. I actually taught them and taught for SWCC at the same time.”

What it was like Being back in college, Borland said, was like it is now.

“I had the school backpack like all the young kids did,” Borland said. “Just like these folks are going on now that are non-traditional, I felt exactly the same way. The first couple weeks you felt out of place. ... 18 years from school, it was a whole lifetime.”

Borland continued on

throughout his college years, however, enjoying the computer classes he attended and gaining knowledge, contacts and friends along the way.

“I felt great when I got done,” Borland said. “When I got done here, I still had the education bug, and just kept on taking classes.”

Borland related the college experience not to how he felt his first go-around, but to his family instead.

“It was a completely different mindset when you went back, too, because you were wanting to get back into another paycheck,” Borland said. “You had a family to support, and their livelihood, so it was totally different.”

Borland’s family consists of his wife Paula, and their three children. Kylie, 26, lives in Des Moines and is currently a dispatcher. Ben, 23, recently graduated from Simpson College before landing a job at Wells Fargo.

Samantha, 21, is finishing her registered nursing degree at SWCC. Please see EDUCATION, Page 2A

A local church will not be worshiping in uptown Creston.

God’s Outreach Deliverance had requested a conditional use permit from the city that would allow them to use 124 N. Maple St. as a church in commercially-zoned uptown Creston.

JoAnna King, pastor at the church, said the move to this Maple Street location is necessary because they’ve outgrown their church at 306 N. Oak St. King said

they’ve already began remodeling at the Maple Street location — not aware city zoning didn’t allow for churches in uptown Creston.

“We believe we’re an asset for the (uptown) area and community,” said church member Wayne Feldhacker. “We would just like to have the zoning adjusted.”

However, several business owners spoke against issuing them the permit during a public hearing with Creston Planning Zoning Commission Please see CHURCH, Page 2A

John Schlaht, co-chairman of the 2014 Union County CROP Hunger Walk, presents a check for $2,130.36 to Rev. Delores Doench, treasurer of the Union County Ministerial Alliance. The check represents one-fourth of the total raised in the October 2014 walk for world hunger. The check presented to Doench, who serves Platte Center Church, will be used for emergency assistance to residents in Union County and, in some cases, will help transients who are traveling through the county. Also pictured, from left, are the Rev. Brian Jack of Salem Lutheran Church, vice president of the Ministerial Alliance, and Lynne Schlaht, co-chairman of the CROP Walk.

Although the Iowa legislature has yet to set state aid for community colleges, the Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Board of Directors went forward with a $4 per credit-hour increase in next year’s tuition during its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday. It also approved several new course fees to cover certification exams and CPR training.

“Our state general aid has not yet been set, but we’re at a point that we Crittenden need to be able to inform students of what their cost will be next year,” Barb Crittenden, SWCC president, said during the meeting.

SWCC’s price per credit hour will rise $4 for both resident and nonresident students next year, making the cost $164 for resident students and $171 for nonresident students.

This is about a 2.5 percent increase, Crittenden said.

The board also approved fees that will cover the cost of certification exams as part of the Computer Hardware Basics, CISCO Networking and Fundamentals of Network Security courses. The fees will be $194, $150 and $302, respectively.

While SWCC has always offered these certifications to students, Bill Taylor, SWCC vice president of instruction, said students will now be able to pay for them through financial aid and take them as part of the courses, rather than pay for them out of pocket.

Advice The drive to succeed as a non-traditional student is different than that of a traditional student fresh out of high school, according to Borland.

“The mindset of me, as well as a lot of non-traditionals, is you have a different drive and a different reason to go back to school because you were

Egg, turkey meat prices begin to rise as bird flu spreads CHURCH: DES MOINES (AP) — Prices for eggs and turkey meat are rising as an outbreak of bird flu in the Midwest claims an increasing number of chickens and turkeys. Market experts say grocery stores and wholesalers are trying to stock up on eggs, but there’s no need to worry about having enough turkeys for Thanksgiving.

The cost of a carton of large eggs in the Midwest has jumped nearly 17 percent to $1.39 a dozen from $1.19 since mid-April when the virus began appearing in Iowa’s chicken flocks and farmers culled their flocks to contain any spread.

Neighboring Nebraska reported its first case of bird flu Tuesday, affecting 1.7 million chickens at an egg farm in Dixon County.

A much bigger increase has emerged in the eggs used as ingredients in processed products such as cake mix and mayonnaise, which account for the majority of what Iowa produces. Those eggs have jumped 63 percent to $1.03 a dozen from 63 cents in the last three weeks, said Rick Brown, senior vice president of Urner Barry, a commodity market analysis firm.

Turkey prices, which had been expected to fall this year, are up slightly as the bird flu claimed about 5.6 million turkeys nationwide so far. About 238 million turkeys were raised in the U.S. last year.

The price of fresh boneless and skinless tom breast meat primarily used for deli meat has risen 10 percent since mid-April to $3.37 a pound, a USDA report said Friday. Frozen hens in the 8- to 16-pound range, those often used for home roasting, were up about 3 percent to $1.06 a pound.

Egg supplies are falling short of demand, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has indicated, and Brown said egg buyers such as grocery stores and wholesalers are trying to stock up for fear that another large farm with millions of chickens will be stricken — causing prices to spike higher.

“We’re starting to see a little bit of that demand increase, and the sellers are reluctant to give clients too much more than they normally have because they know what’s going on and they don’t want to be caught short either,” he said.

The number of Iowa chickens lost exceeds 26 million, the vast majority of which lay eggs for food use. That’s about 41 percent

of the leading egg state’s layers and about 8 percent of the nation’s laying hens.

That many chickens would lay more than 500 million table eggs a month. For comparison, Iowa chickens laid 1.4 billion table eggs in March, before the disease struck. U.S. egg production for March stood at 7.42 billion table eggs.

Some companies are beginning to notice the impact of fewer eggs. Cereal maker Post Holdings Inc., which bought egg products supplier Michael Foods last year, said in its May 7 quarterly earnings report that about 14 percent of its egg supply has been affected by the bird flu outbreak. Post estimated the impact at about $20 million through the end of September.

Michael Foods primarily supplies extended shelf-life liquid and precooked egg products and eggs used in food ingredients.

The poultry industry can replenish the supply of chickens more quickly than beef or pork industries can rebound, but it still takes time to rebuild a flock.

“They’re going to have to phase in replacing those flocks so they can get them get back into a laying schedule that results in a more even flow of eggs, and that’s going to take six to nine months,” said Tom Elam, an agricultural economist and poultry industry consultant.

It takes about four months for a hatched chick to be old enough to begin laying eggs, and it will typically be productive for about two years, Elam said. Many of the hens dying from the disease are younger and no pullets had been planned to replace them yet, Elam said.

More than 350,000 pullets have been lost to bird flu — a very small portion of the 50 million egg-type chicks hatched in March, but it compounds the replenishment problem.

While new bird flu outbreaks are occurring in the turkey market — Minnesota, the nation’s leading turkey producer, has 4 million confirmed dead birds so far — Elam said cold storage stocks and the number of hens still on farms suggest turkeys will be available for Thanksgiving.

“Anybody who wants a Thanksgiving turkey is going to be able to get one,” he said. “They may have to pay a little more for it but we’re not going to have national stock-outs for Thanksgiving turkeys, yet.”

Tuesday evening at the restored Creston Depot.

Mike Coen, owner of Coen’s Furniture, said he doesn’t believe having the church in uptown is the right move for a retail environment.

“I’m all for churches and I go to church and I think we need churches,” Coen said, “but I don’t think this is the right location. I don’t think we have enough

going to make a better life for you and your family,” Borland said. “When I was there in 1981, it was just because I needed to continue my education.”

Still, Borland understands the drive encompassing non-traditional college students, and gave a piece of advice.

“Non-traditional students don’t really require a lot of advice because they’ve already gone through a lot of experience, and they’re here for that

parking, as is, and we need to keep as much open space in uptown as we can for retail customers.”

Joyce Franklin, owner of Quilts and Other Notions, delivered a petition Tuesday to the zoning commission with 24 signatures from uptown residents/ business owners against the church being allowed to move into uptown Creston.

“I’m not opposed to a church or any church,” Franklin said. “My fear is

drive,” Borland said. “The advice I do tend to give them is, especially their first several weeks, is that don’t blink, it’s going to be all over. It goes quick.

Next thing you know, they’re graduating. They’re done.”

That advice paid off for Borland, when in 2007 he landed a position as office systems technology instructor at his first alma mater, where he has been ever since.

if you allow one variance, it will lead to more and more and we will lose our retail climate in uptown.”

Feldhacker said the church would not cause any parking problems in uptown because church members would only be there during evenings and Sunday mornings when businesses have their doors closed.

A total of nine people spoke during the public hearing. After 45 minutes,

the zoning commission voted unanimously against issuing the permit to God’s Outreach Deliverance.

“We need to leave the uptown area commercial,” said Rick Foster with the zoning commission. “I hope you can find another place real soon.”

Barb Coenen, owner of Maple Street Memories, mentioned that Assembly of God Church at 417 Wyoming Ave. in Creston is for sale.

“There’s been certainly a push statewide and maybe nationwide to increase certifications for our career and tech graduates,” Taylor said during the meeting. “Our students, with those certifications, will be more employable.”

The board also approved the addition of a $55 course fee to include CPR training in the automotive, colli-

well as expansion of the restrooms to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible.

OPINION The American dream: Living to 18

“What do you hope to accomplish with this protest,” I asked a 13-year-old girl marching in Staten Island, N.Y., last August, protesting the police killing of Eric Garner.

“To live until I’m 18,” the young teen, named Aniya, replied. Could that possibly be the American dream today?

Aniya went on: “You want to get older. You want to experience life. You don’t want to die in a matter of seconds because of cops.” It’s that sentiment that has fueled the Black Lives Matter movement across the country.

Most recently, a week of protest in Baltimore was largely quelled when a remarkable prosecutor announced that six police officers would be charged in the death of Freddie Gray. Marilyn Mosby, the 35-year-old state’s attorney for the city of Baltimore, is the youngest lead prosecutor in any major U.S. city. Just 100 days into office, she made national headlines on Friday, May 1, with the stunning announcement that the officers would face various charges, from assault to second-degree murder.

King Features commentary Amy Goodman

According to police reports, Baltimore Police Lt. Brian Rice was on bicycle patrol on the morning of April 12 when he made eye contact with Freddie Gray, who then ran. Rice pursued Gray, joined by officers Garrett Miller and Edward Nero. A bystander videotaped Gray screaming in pain as he was dragged into a patrol wagon. Though he asked for medical help repeatedly, none was given. He soon became unresponsive. Other police involved in his arrest and transport did nothing either. His family reported that his spinal cord was 80 percent severed, and his voice box crushed.

After a week in a coma, he died.

Gene Ryan, president of Baltimore’s police union, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge No. 3, said, shockingly, “The images seen on television look and sound

much like a lynch mob.” These words are unfathomable, uttered by a white man describing African-Americans protesting the death of another African-American man whose neck was broken while in police custody. Then, at the same press conference, Michael Davey, the FOP attorney spoke up, defending the police for chasing Gray: “If you are in a high-crime area, and you flee from the police unprovoked, the police have the legal ability to pursue you.” So Freddie Gray was arrested for running while black?

The outcry has been consistent and growing, after each high-profile police killing of people of color. Eric Garner’s death by police chokehold on July 17, 2014, went unpunished. The district attorney for Staten Island, Daniel Donovan Jr., declined to press charges against any of the officers. Donovan, a Republican, was rewarded this week, winning a seat in Congress representing Staten Island, replacing Rep. Michael Grimm, who resigned in disgrace after being indicted for multimillion-dollar tax evasion. (Grimm also no-

toriously physically threatened a reporter on live television after the reporter asked him about the charges. Grimm told the reporter: “I’ll break you in half. Like a boy.”)

Back in Baltimore, many people heaved a sigh of relief after prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announced that she had filed charges against the six police officers. “I come from five generations of law enforcement,” she said. “My father was an officer. My mother was an officer, several of my aunts and uncles. My recently departed and beloved grandfather was one of the founding members of the first black police organization in Massachusetts.”

Marilyn Mosby went on: “To those that are angry, hurt or have their own experiences of injustice at the hands of police officers, I urge you to channel the energy peacefully as we prosecute this case. I have heard your calls for ‘no justice, no peace’; however, your peace is sincerely needed, as I work to deliver justice on behalf of Freddie Gray.”

She closed with what is certainly

unique in the annals of prosecutorial oration: “Last, but certainly not least, to the youth of this city, I will seek justice on your behalf.

This is your moment. Let’s ensure that we have peaceful and productive rallies that will develop structural and systemic changes for generations to come. You’re at the forefront of this cause. And as young people, our time is now.”

With determination like this, demanding accountability for all, maybe Aniya will get her wish: to celebrate her 18th birthday, and many, many more. *** Denis Moynihan contributed research to this column. *** Amy Goodman is the host of “Democracy Now!,” a daily international TV/radio news hour airing on more than 1,300 stations.

The NFL suspended New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady four games for authorizing the deflating of his footballs before the Super Bowl. It’s the most infamous incident of its kind in history. After seventy-eight years, the pilot of the Hindenburg has been knocked out of the record books.

The NFL’s suspension of Tom Brady for deflating footballs to his liking before the Super Bowl drew criticism Monday. Some said it was too harsh, some said it was too lenient. The suspension is for four games but the commissioner will reduce it to two games if Brady will agree to beat up his wife.

The price of cheap labor Manicures and pedicures aren’t usually news or fodder for commentary, but a blockbuster report in The New York Times has made them a compelling issue.

Under the headline “The Price of Nice Nails,” the story cataloged the abusive treatment of workers in New York City’s ubiquitous nail salons. The story generated an enormous reaction; it highlighted the poignant juxtaposition of affluent women enjoying what once would have been a luxury, thanks to poor, exploited women with no other options.

It is a tableau that doesn’t feel very American or very modern.

We thought we had put the age of sweatshops behind us, but we hadn’t. It turns out that sweatshops are where New York City women go to get their mani-pedis.

The Times story is, in part, about the ugly underbelly of immigration.

The salons are what an industry that subsists on substantial illegal labor looks like.

Census Bureau numbers say that 59 percent of personal-appearance workers are foreign-born, according to Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies. By Camarota’s estimate, about a quarter of those foreign workers are illegal, and judging by the Times report, the number is higher in New York City.

“Almost all of the workers interviewed by The Times,” the report noted, “had limited English; many are in the country illegally. The combination leaves them vulnerable.”

Manicurists usually pay a fee of $100 or $200 to begin working at a

King Features commentary Rich Lowry

salon, and then work without pay for weeks or months, before finally getting wages -- of perhaps less than $3 an hour, supplemented by tips.

That’s assuming that the workers are allowed to get either the wages or the tips without them being skimmed or withheld.

The report tells the story of women living in overcrowded apartments, without time to care for their children.

Their stories are heart-wrenching, if drearily predictable. These are women who often don’t know the language, don’t have any social support, have very few skills in an economy that increasingly demands them, and have little ability to complain about their working conditions, or anything else. What does anyone think is going to happen to them?

The overwhelmingly Korean owners of the salons particularly exploit the Hispanic workers. “Some bosses,” according to the Times, “deliberately prey on the desperation of Hispanic manicurists, who are often drowning under large debts owed to ‘coyotes’ who smuggled them across the border, workers and advocates say.”

When politicians discuss immigration, it is usually in highflying terms. Jeb Bush says that “immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.” Politicians always talk

of importing the best and the brightest from abroad. But New York City’s salons capture the tawdry reality of illegal immigration, which creates islands of lawlessness where people can be mistreated with little consequence.

There is an economic upside to this dispensation, no doubt. There has been booming growth in nail salons in New York City during the past 15 years, and prices haven’t really changed since the 1990s, according to the Times. This is a boon to women who want an affordable reverse French manicure.

In this case, and in many others, illegal immigration is a subsidy for the upper-middle class that can enjoy cheaper services than it would if the country had a strictly legal labor market and lower levels of overall immigration.

No one wants to hear it, though.

When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker suggested that the effect on wages of American workers should be the first concern in considering levels of immigration, the political class recoiled in horror. Surely, one reason that salons can pay so poorly is that the supply of illegal workers is so plentiful. And this supply of labor must, at least at the margins, crowd out workers already here who might consider working in salons if pay and conditions were better.

The New York Times exposed the price of nice nails — and of cheap labor.

f your outdoor grilling menu calls for easy, gluten-free dishes to accompany your favorite flame-kissed foods, sorghum may be your secret to success.

Sorghum, an ancient cereal grain, is a highly versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide range of preparations, such as leavened and unleavened breads, fermented and unfermented beverages, and a host of flourbased foods such as pizza dough, pastas and cereals. It can also be consumed in place of whole grain in countless recipes and as a syrup.

Because it is naturally gluten free, sorghum is a terrific option for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance who don’t want to sacrifice the texture and taste of grain-based foods. What’s more, the nutrient-rich grain is a good source of iron, calcium, potassium as well as polycosinol, which research has shown to lower serum cholesterol and may improve heart health.

For those who monitor glycemic index, sorghum also offers good news. Research indicates sorghum offers slow digestibility and a lower glycemic index. Foods with a lower glycemic index are believed to increase satiety, which means you feel fuller longer, aiding with weight management.

Enjoy grilled fare with a new twist. From sweet, savory marinades to crisp, crunchy salads to refreshingly tangy beverages, sorghum is the ingredient that makes these recipes shine.

Peanut butter, chocolate and oatmeal...mix these ingredients together for a super easy and so good, soft and chewy bar. It is perfect and the flavor says “I want more”…you just want to eat one! Dark chocolate with orange flavoring...another a great combination. Do not make these cookies expecting regular chocolate chip cookies! They are in a category by themselves.

Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and oats. In a large bowl (or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated and brown sugars until light and well-mixed, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla, egg and egg yolk until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips and mix until combined. Press the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. Don’t overbake or the bars will be dry! Remove the pan to a cooling rack and let the bars cool in the pan before cutting into squares. I made half a batch just for Barb and me, using an 8x8 baking pan and one large egg and they turned out great that way.

A vanilla answer about longevity Dear Heloise: I bought a bottle of REAL VANILLA EXTRACT at least eight years ago. I was told it would keep forever. Is this true?

How long can I realistically keep it? — Jo in New York Some things are not meant to be kept FOREVER! Yes, the experts say that if it’s really pure vanilla extract and is stored properly, it should last for longer than we need it to.

— Heloise STICKY PIE CRUST Dear Readers: You came through again! I knew you would. Here are two hints that were sent in about how to keep pie crust from sticking to the pan: * Carol, via email, said: “I find that crusts don’t stick to the pan if you thaw them thoroughly before adding the filling.” * Roberta H. in Arkansas wrote: “To keep refrigerated pie crust from sticking to your dish, remember to flour the bottom of the crust before putting into the dish, just like you would if you had made it.”

— Heloise FAVORITE RECIPE Dear Heloise: I grew up loving my mom’s homemade

Hints from Heloise sloppy Joes. To my surprise, when I asked for her recipe, it was just cocktail sauce and ground beef. That’s it! So delicious! — Susan B., via email Isn’t it fun to discover that a family “recipe” is really pretty simple? Cocktail sauce can add just the right “zing” without much effort.

Recipes can be a strong connection, and more so when passed down from generation to generation or shared with friends. There are many of my mother’s recipes that I love and used to put together my Heloise’s All-Time Favorite Recipes pamphlet to share them. To order one, go online to www.Heloise. com, or send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/ Recipes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Collect favorite family recipes in a binder or holder and then make copies to give as gifts to siblings. — Heloise

Horoscope Thursday, May 14, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Most Aries people have a short fuse. (Admit it.) Count to 10 today before responding to others, because you will be blocked in some way and you won’t like it. Patience.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Some kind of financial transaction that you wish to achieve will meet with obstruction today. Someone or something will be uncooperative. Be prepared for this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your efforts to talk to partners and close friends will meet with obstacles today. Someone older might oppose you or be critical. Just bide your time and be patient.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone behind the scenes is working against your best interests, probably on the job.

You might know this; you might not. But be aware.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Group activities or anything related to sports and your interaction with children could be problematic today. You might face increased responsibilities that you were not prepared for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept.

22) Don’t be aggressive with authority figures today (parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police), because your efforts will be blocked. This is a poor day to try to push anything through. Just wait.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Travel plans might be changed, canceled or thwarted in some way. Similarly, activities with publishing, the media, medicine and the law will encounter some difficulties.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If you are in negotiations about inheritances or shared property, don’t be pushy today.

You will be lucky to just hold your own. Obstacles are everywhere.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone older or more experienced might make things difficult for you today.

Increased responsibilities cannot be ignored. Do what you can.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) No matter how hard you try to achieve something at work today, something behind the scenes will block you. Just accept this, and live to fight another day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Someone older or more experienced might be critical of you today. There’s nothing you can do about this, so sit quiet. Things will be different this weekend.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be patient with family members, because dissension and conflict are likely today. Decide to be part of the solution and not part of the problem; this is your choice.

YOU BORN TODAY You are modern, up-to-date and even

futuristic. You constantly push yourself because you seek perfection. You have confidence in your ideas and are not afraid to break with tradition. This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new. Take it easy, and learn to serve others. This is a good year to travel.

CHS senior commits education, career to beef industry Union May is one of County Dillon Bailey’s favorite months now has on his family’s farm Youth Beef Team ■

By JAKE WADDINGHAM

CNA associate editor jwaddingham@crestonnews.com

May is recognized as National Beef Month for its role as one of the strongest agricultural industries within the United States and throughout the world.

According to the Iowa Beef Industry Council, there are more than one billion beef producers in the United States and 97 percent of these operations are family owned.

The month of May is also Creston High School senior Dillon Bailey’s favorite time of year on his family farm west of Creston.

“You get to see all the little calves playing around,” Bailey said. “We just turned pairs out to pasture this past week.”

Bailey farms with his family in Union and Adams counties. Their herd consists of approximatley 50 cows and 10 retention heifers.

“Beef is going to be a big portion in my life through my old age,” Bailey said.

“If my dad hands it (the

“Beef is going to be a big portion in my life through my old age. If my dad hands it (the farm) down to me, I would like to keep our herd going for the next generation.”

farm) down to me, I would like to keep our herd going for the next generation.”

Bailey and his father, Greg, have worked a retention program into their beef operation to help build their herd. Each year, they work together to decide how many heifers to hold back from the sale barn.

“We keep about 10 to 15 (heifers) each year for about the past five years,” Bailey said. “Then we either sell the others as bred heifers or as pairs here at the Creston Livestock

Auction or keep them here.”

As Bailey has learned more about the beef industry from his family, his responsibilities on the farm have grown. His mother, Mindy, and two younger sisters, Marcey and Cooper, share daily duties.

“Ever since I could walk, I’ve been around cattle,” Bailey said. “Within the past five years during the calving season (March and April), I will be here late at night staying up checking heifers at midnight and 2 to 3 a.m.”

During the summer, he checks on the cows and repairs any damaged fence.

Bailey, who turns 18 today, is an active member of the Douglas Booster 4-H Club and the Creston FFA Chapter. He has shown cattle for both programs at the local county fair and state level. His family has shown at the national level at the National Western Stock Show.

“It is a family ordeal when we go to a calf show,” Bailey said. “We all go to support each other.”

Most of Bailey’s show steers and heifers are home-raised. He said the heifers typically stay home after county fair to get ready for the calving season, but they have shown good steers throughout the year at a variety of shows.

Bailey starts automotive classes Monday at Southwestern Community College.

When his core courses resume this fall, he plans to focus his studies on ag business and beef management.

In March of this year, a new youth group began with the purpose of beef promotion.

That group — the Union County Youth Beef Team — is affiliated with the Union County Cattlemen’s and Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation. The Youth Beef Team is open to all youth ages 12 to 18 who are interested in promoting the beef industry.

It consists of young beef producers from around the county.

Saddle and Sirloin to honor Dave Nichols

The Saddle and Sirloin Gallery was established in 1903 and recognizes one individual each year for his or her lifetime of exceptional service to the livestock business, both nationally and internationally.

■

Dave Nichols of Bridgewater has been selected as the 2015 inductee into the Saddle and Sirloin Portrait Gallery, largely considered the highest honor in the livestock industry. The Saddle and Sirloin Gallery was established in 1903, and recognizes one individual each year for their lifetime of exceptional service to the livestock business, both nationally and internationally.

Nichols was raised on his father’s small cattle feeding operation. Starting as a tenant farm, Nichols Farms has grown under his leadership to now encompass 5,500 acres, 1,500 head of breeding stock and a small feedlot. In addition, Nichols Farms oversees the breeding and marketing of an additional 750 cooperator and franchise cows.

Nichols Farms has placed 42 bulls in studs and has exported cattle, semen and embryos to 30 countries, resulting in five Palermo grand champions.

During its 77-year history, all revenue of Nichols Farms has been generated from cattle.

Nichols bought his first steer in 1947 at the age of eight with a note from the bank, and entered the Angus seedstock business at

13 years of age.

In 1957, he won the national FFA Public Speaking Contest by discussing the merits of performance testing bulls, and he and his father started selling performance-tested Angus bulls that year. He started submitting weaning weights the first year the American Angus Association accepted them, and by 1961 he had bred some of the early Performance Registry International’s Certified Meat Sires.

In the late 1960s, Nichols added Simmental as a second breed and helped pioneer the breeding of black, polled Simmental.

Nichols was influential in the early formation of the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) and served on its first board of directors starting in 1967, and later served as BIF president.

He continues to be a fixture at BIF meetings and, for those efforts, received BIF’s Continuous Service Award, Seedstock Breeder of the Year award and Pioneer Breeder Award.

Today, Nichols Farms consists of Angus, Simmental, Angus/Simmental hybrids, and Angus/Simmental/South Devon composites. A leader in both the Angus and Simmental breeds, Nichols was elected to the American Simmental Association board of directors, serving as its president in 1991; and he currently serves on the board of directors of the

American Angus Association.

Among the highlights was Nichols’ service on the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Product Enhancement Subcommittee. With his leadership, this committee’s accomplishments include the adoption of instrument grading and the $5,000,000 Carcass Merit Program, which included the collection of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) data that was used in the validation of today’s genomic panels.

He was also integral in the thought process, funding and data collection in developing today’s ultrasound technology.

Internationally, Nichols has spread the message and lessons of performance testing as well as U.S. entrepreneurial spirit throughout South America, Eastern Europe and Australia.

Nichols has also been youth-oriented, hosting 45 high school, college and foreign interns; as well as hundreds of judging teams and college tours.

In addition, Nichols Farms is a frequent tour stop for state cattlemen groups, international delegations and government officials who seek his knowledge and example of management excellence.

Recently, Nichols was awarded the 2014 NCBA Regional Environmental Stewardship Award

Nichols

and named the Livestock Publications Council’s Headliner of the Year. He serves on the Beef Cattle Efficiency advisory committee and as chairman of the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium.

He has been invited to speak on approximately one program a month for 40 years. Nichols Farms has one of the most extensive databases in the industry with more than 70 computer fields on each animal, and this database has been used in recent years for genomic validation and U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) animal breeding research.

The Saddle and Sirloin Club will honor these and Nichols’ other industry contributions during a special program and portrait unveiling Nov. 15 in conjunction with the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Cen-

No. 5 Knights Trojan girls nip Creston clip Panthers, 1-0 on senior night, 1-0 Offensive leader Pals out with injury

By LARRY PETERSON Griffin

National Digest

Cavs win CLEVELAND — With the big three reduced to the “Banged-Up 2,” LeBron James again showed why he’s Cleveland’s one and only.

James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cavaliers held off Chicago’s charge in the fourth quarter for a 106101 victory over the Bulls on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Conference semifinal.

Showing no ill effects from a sprained left ankle, James added 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks and didn’t have a turnover in 41 minutes to ensure the Cavs will again play at home this season. The four-time league MVP was locked in from the start, imposing his will on a game the Cavaliers had to have.

Cleveland can wrap up the best-of-seven series and advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2009 with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night back at United Center in Chicago, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories last weekend.

The drama wasn’t quite as high in Game 5, but it was close, and it was intense.

Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for Chicago. Derrick Rose scored 16, 12 in the first quarter, but the star guard shot just 2-of-15 in the final three quarters and aggravated a shoulder “stinger” he sustained in Game 1.

Staying alive HOUSTON — James Harden had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Dwight Howardadded 20 points and 15 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets bounced back from two lopsided losses to avoid elimination with a 124-103 victory over the Los Angeles Clipperson Tuesday night in the Western Conference semifinals.

The Rockets hadn’t lost three straight all season, and with their season on the line they ended their skid to send it back to Los Angeles for Game 6 on Thursday night.

Houston used a 36-point second quarter to take a commanding lead and withstood a third-quarter surge by Los Angeles to lead by 14 entering the fourth.

Blake Griffin had 30 points and 16 rebounds, and Chris Paul added 22 points and 10 assists for the Clippers.

CNA sports writer • lpeterson@crestonnews.com

Atlantic scored in an unprotected goal midway through the first half, and the goal held up in a 1-0 victory by the Trojans on senior night for the Creston girls Tuesday night.

Atlantic freshman Olivia Hemphill knocked in the only scoring shot of the match, despite a 22-16 advantage in shots by the host Panthers.

“Taquana (Williams) came out for the ball, and our defense got caught watching and didn’t cover,” Creston coach Kim Lauffer said. “I don’t know if the ball bounced free or what, but the next think I know she went down and the ball was free. We have to cover and fill that space in case she doesn’t come through with the ball, so they don’t have a wide open net to score in.”

The loss kept Creston in eighth place among the eight Hawkeye 10 teams playing soccer at 0-6, and 2-11 overall. Atlantic, in seventh place, improved to 2-4 and 5-7.

“I hate losing, because it does not reflect how well we play,” Lauffer said. “We are improving.

We were just a little slow tonight at times.

and it seemed like we got zapped.”

Twelve minutes into the second half, it appeared Creston had tied the score when Hanna Luther put a shot into the net. But, Creston was ruled to be offsides.

“In my eyes, I didn’t see the offsides, but that was the call,” Lauffer said.

Then, in a rush to make a final offensive run in the final minute, Creston got the ball into scoring position.

Senior Savannah Hartman got off a hard shot that struck the near post, just inches from going in wide of the Trojan goalkeeper.

Prior to the match, seniors Angelica Claytor, Hartman, Luther and Williams were honored along with their parents.

Creston is back home Thursday hosting Glenwood, which is 6-5 overall and 2-1 in league play.

Boone swept the Creston/O-M tennis teams Tuesday night, winning 7-2 in girls action at the Southwestern courts, and a 9-0 shutout in boys play at Boone.

Jenna Taylor was the lone Panther sinTaylor

gles winner, topping Boone sophomore Emma Rose, 8-3, at the No. 1 position.

Caitlin McIlravy and Sydney Dunphy were involved in close tiebreaker matches, and Alli Thomsen and Gracie Russell competed in 8-6 defeats.

Taylor and Thomsen teamed up to win 8-3 at No. 1 doubles.

“Tonight we faced a tough opponent,” said Creston/O-M assistant coach Amanda Plymale. “We had two close tiebreakers that could have turned our way

at 3 and 4 singles. This was a great meet to prepare us for Saturday’s regional play in Norwalk.

“This was our last meet for our JV players and we honored our senior, Allison Norton,” Plymale added.

“We will miss her, but wish her the best of luck on her next journey.”

In the boys meet, each match was played in two sets to six points. Seth Maitlen lost a close 6-4, 6-4 Please see TENNIS, page 12A

Clutch hits CLEVELAND — The St. Louis Cardinals took clutch hitting to an extreme in Tuesday night’s 8-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

St. Louis scored all its runs as the result of two-out hits, including a three-run homer in the eighth by Matt Holliday that broke the game open.

Matt Carpenter, returning after missing three games because of fatigue, was 2 for 5, including an RBI single that preceded Holliday’s home run. Mark Reynolds added a two-run single in the second.

Holliday had four RBI.

CARROLL — Without their top gun, the Creston boys soccer team fell 1-0 to Class 1A fifth-ranked Carroll Kuemper Tuesday night.

Kirby Axman scored in the 34th minutes for Kuemper for the only goal of the night. The Knights rebounded from their first defeat Monday to No. 9 Gilbert, 2-0, improving to 9-1 overall and 5-0 atop the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

Creston, unable to grasp a share of the conference lead with a victory, slipped to 4-2 in league matches and 8-6 overall.

Creston was playing without alltime leading scorer Conner Pals, who sprained his left ankle in p r a c t i c e Pals Monday night.

“We dominated much of the match, but definitely Pals was needed,” Panther coach Jesus Rodriguez said.

“His physicality would have matched up with their center backs.”

Still, the likes of senior McClain Haines and sophomore Gavin Woods worked well offensively in creating opportunities. But, no goals materialized.

Kuemper’s only goal came on a crossing pass by

Creston junior Alli Thomsen charges toward the net to hit a shot during her No. 2 singles match against Boone on Tuesday. Thomsen lost 8-6 to Breanna Sterenburg.

Josh Tigges to Axman for the goal with 6:08 remaining in the half.

“They found someone open, crossed it and their guy was able to beat (Alex) Nielsen one-on-one,” Rodriguez said. “Nielsen’s finger touched it. He almost got it to hit the post instead.”

Considering the shorthanded nature of Creston’s offense, the Panther coach said it was a strong effort on the road against a conference championship team.

“I told the boys they gave it all they got,” Rodriguez said.

“Overall, they played well.”

Pals’ status for next Monday’s match at Harlan is uncertain, with the Panthers hosting the substate opener the following week. (That match will be played at Panther Field, because of IHSAA requirements for bleachers and restroom facilities.)

“It’s more important for Pals to be healthy at district time,” Rodriguez said. “He’s doing therapy and we’ll just have to see how it responds.”

Kuemper won the JV match, 4-1. Luke Stilwell scored for Creston, assisted

by Kyle Wynn. Tyler Peters had a shot on goal and Kolby Tomas, Patrick Normandeau and Tyler Helm each had one shot. Quinton Scadden had one save.

Macy Evans to represent Union County 4-H at the state level Her State 4-H Council term will begin this fall and continue into the summer of 2016.

■

Macy Evans, daughter of Rob and April Evans of Creston, was recently selected to represent Union County 4-H at the state level as a member of the State 4-H Council.

Her term will begin this fall and continue into the summer of 2016. Evans is one of 40 high school-aged 4-H’ers around the state of Iowa to be selected for the State 4-H Council.

“This is a huge honor for Macy and our 4-H program is excited to have an outstanding representative for Union County,” said Haley Jones, county youth

and outreach coordinator.

“It has been fun to watch Macy participate in the many areas that 4-H has to offer throughout my first year here in Union County.”

The State 4-H Council is a group of high school 4-H’ers who work directly with Iowa 4-H Youth Development staff to represent the program across the state.

They speak to local 4-H groups, represent 4-H’ers ideas to staff, and work in committees to plan the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference, 4-H’ers for 4-H campaign and 4-H promotional ideas.

When asked what she was most looking forward to as she takes her place the 2015-2016 State 4-H Council Macy said, “I’m excited to meet new faces

and learn from their experiences to benefit not only myself, but my county 4-H program.”

Evans is a seven-year member of the local Highland Highlights 4-H club where she currently serves as the vice president.

She is also the president of the County Youth Council which is a local group of high school 4-H’ers who meet monthly to plan county-wide events for 4-H’ers. Evans currently serves on the beef committee, small animal committee and is a member of newly formed Union County Youth Beef Team.

“The highlight of my 4-H career so far was when I won reserve champion market beef at the 2012 Union County Fair,” said Evans. “4-H has really brought my family togeth-

er as we go to monthly 4-H meetings, work on livestock and static exhibits together throughout the year and attend the county fair every summer.”

Union County has a history of State 4-H Council representatives dating back to 1934.

However, there has not been a representative on the State 4-H Council since Brett Moffitt in 2001-2002.

Bedford, Lenox among 200 clinics offering telemedicine DES MOINES — The week of May 10-16 recognizes National Hospital Week throughout the country. This year, Iowa has reason to celebrate. Because of a partnership between the Iowa Hospital Association and Iowa Communications Network, 200 hospitals and clinics now offer telemedicine services via high speed broadband connectivity.

Earlier this year, CHI Health Mercy Corning Hospital’s satellite Alegent clinics in Bedford and Lenox became the 199th and 200th health care locations to connect to Iowa’s Rural Health Communications Program (IRHTP). The IRHTP is a joint effort between 86 Iowa rural and urban hospitals, two South Dakota hospitals and the Iowa Communications Network with the pur-

pose of connecting willing Iowa health care facilities and hospitals in surrounding states to a dedicated fiber network using existing ICN infrastructure.

The clinics in Bedford and Lenox join a growing number of rural hospitals and clinics now able to provide telemedicine services to patients who previously only had access to primary care
